Background/ Purpose: Postsurgical complications, such as anastomotic leaks in patients with esophageal atresia, have remained unchanged during the last 3 decades. Growth factors enhance healing in several wound-healing models. Therefore, an experimental study was used to evaluate the effects of local and sustained release of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF) on wound healing in esophageal anastomoses.

The effect of long-term ambient aging on the mechanical properties of conducting polysiloxane-polypyrrole graft copolymers
Biran, C; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Tincer, T; Yagci, Y; Harabagiu, V (2003-05-01)
The mechanical behavior of conducting polysiloxane-polypyrrole graft copolymers has been investigated as a function of ambient oxidative aging period. Graft copolymers of N-pyrrolyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (SPPy) with pyrrole were synthesized electrochemically at constant potential by using p -toluene sulfonic acid as the supporting electrolyte. Mechanical tests were performed on both unwashed and dichloromethane -washed copolymers after aging. An initial decrease followed by an increase in the tens...
THE EFFECT OF HEAT-TREATMENT ON THE PROPERTIES OF PEEK AND APC2
FOLKES, MJ; KALAY, G (Elsevier BV, 1993-01-01)
The effects of various thermal treatments on the properties of both PEEK and APC2 have been systematically studied. X-ray diffraction data, together with dynamic mechanical measurements, indicate that the T(g) values for both materials are considerably higher than those generally reported. Also, the tan delta values for quenched APC2 specimens are considerably higher than for slowly cooled materials. Microstructural observations show that this is likely to be due to poor fibre/matrix adhesion, in the case o...

Aims: The purpose of the study was to establish whether the patients presenting with abdominal pain should undergo to contrast enhanced CT (Computed tomography). For this purpose, we have investigated the possible relationship between CRP (C-reactive protein),WBC (White blood cell), neutrophil levels and the presence of pathological findings determined on abdominal pelvic CT images.
The influence of elastin-like recombinant polymer on the self-renewing potential of a 3D tissue equivalent derived from human lamina propria fibroblasts and oral epithelial cells
Kinikoglu, Beste; Carlos Rodriguez-Cabello, Jose; Damour, Odile; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2011-09-01)
Three-dimensional epithelial tissue equivalents tend to lose their self-renewing potential progressively during culture as their epithelial cells lose their proliferative capacity with time. Even though the tissue engineered construct can mimic the native tissue well, it rapidly degrades after implantation due to the insufficient number of proliferating cells in the equivalent. In the present study we demonstrate for the first time that the use of an elastin-like recombinant polymer (ELR) engineered to cont...
Basic fibroblast growth factor loaded polypropylene meshes in repair of abdominal wall defects in rats
Heybeli, T.; Kulacoglu, H.; GENÇ, VOLKAN; Ergul, Z.; Ensari, C.; Kızıltay, Aysel; Yilmazer, D.; Serbetci, K.; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2010-11-01)
Background and Aim: Incisional hernia following laparotomy and recurrent herniation after its repair are still common problems in spite of mesh augmentation. The underlying biological mechanism may be related to collagen metabolism. Recently, some members of growth factors family have been tested in the prevention of wound failure and incisonal hernia formation. Growth factors may promote fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition. In the present study, we searched the effects of basic fibroblast grow...
