摘要:
The present technology relates to film forming compositions comprising antimicrobial agents, as well as to methods of inhibiting bacterial growth, controlling the rate of release of an antimicrobial agent from a film forming polymer, coating a medical device, rendering the inner lumen of a medical device biofilm resistant, and treating a human or animal.
摘要:
The invention provides a particle consisting essentially of micronized ESM and having a mean particle diameter of less than 100 µm for use in promoting the healing of a chronic wound at risk of, or in which there is, (i) an inappropriate level of matrix-metalloproteinase (MMP) activity against extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and/or peptide growth or differentiation factors, and/or (ii) an excessive inflammatory response. The invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions, wound dressings and implantable medical devices comprising the micronized ESM-containing particles for use in said treatments. The invention still further provides methods for manufacturing the micronized ESM-containing particles and the compositions, dressings and implantable medical devices comprising the same.
摘要:
Compositions and methods are provided for enhanced healing of wounds, e.g. cutaneous wounds, by application of a scaffold or matrix, e.g. a hydrogel film comprising a dose of macrophages, or monocyte progenitors thereof, which dose is effective in increasing the rate of wound healing. The compositions of the invention find use in treating cutaneous wounds, particularly chronic wounds, e.g. in diabetic patients or other patients with impaired wound healing.
摘要:
A dressing is disclosed that contains the following components: bee honey, Trigonella foenum graecum extract, policresulen, acetic acid and agar-agar as the gelling agent. The dressing is used for healing wounds and burns.
摘要:
Disclosed are hydrogels polymerized with a biofunctional moiety, biodegradable and permanent, designed to be implantable in a mammalian body and intended to block or mitigate the formation of tissue adhesions. The hydrogels of the present invention are characterized by comprising four structural elements: a) a polymeric backbone which defines the overall polymeric morphology, b) linkage groups, c) side chains, and d) biofunctional end groups. The hydrophobicity of the various structural elements are chosen to reduce tissue adhesion and enhance the biofunctional aspect of the end groups. The morphology of these polymers are typically of high molecular weight and have shape to encourage entanglement. Useful structures include branching chains, comb or brush, and dendritic morphologies.
摘要:
This invention relates to a medical dressing using a silkworm gland-derived hydrolysate having superior cell proliferation effects thus exhibiting superior wound treatment effects and moisturizing power, and to a method of manufacturing the same, including 1) dissolving a silkworm gland-derived hydrolysate thus preparing a hydrolysate solution, 2) adding a crosslinking agent to the hydrolysate solution and reacting the hydrolysate solution with stirring at 15 ~ 30℃ for 0.5 ~ 2 hr, and 3) performing rapid lyophilization.
摘要:
The present invention is a dental device comprising natural and sustainable materials. These materials are derived from the nut of the tangua palm tree that may be fashioned into devices for human and animals when replacing one or more teeth of the subject.

摘要:
Provided herein is a biocompatible implant for meniscus tissue engineering. Particularly, the biocompatible implant comprises a multi-layered crescent-shaped silk fibroin scaffold, in which each layer comprises distinct pore size and/or pore orientation, e.g., to mimic native meniscus complex architecture. Accordingly, the biocompatible implant can be used for repairing any meniscal defect or promoting meniscal regeneration in a subject.
摘要:
The present invention is related to the field of tissue regeneration. It concerns more particularly new processes, tubes and devices for thrombin, platelet concentrate and wound healant preparations, alone or in combination with cell extracts, cell compositions and uses thereof..
