Développement d’un hydrogel autodurcissant in vivo, en perspective d’un usage biomédicalA new self-hardening gel in prospect of biomedical use

Since 1995, an injectable bone substitute is developed in our laboratory, it is based on a mix of an hydrogel (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose at 3%: cellulose ether) and biphasic calcium phosphate granules (MBCP^® : 60% hydroxyapatite, 40% β-tri calcium phosphate). This first generation of injectable bone substitute is a non-self-hardening past, nevertheless it owns a great osteoconductor potential. But it shows a tendency to the discharge by its initial composition, and involved limited clinical applications. An evolution of this product is presented in this article: the modification is generated by a new self-hardening hydrogel. This hydrogel is a cellulose ether grafted by silane and diluted in an aqueous solution at basic pH. Also it will be presented the general synthesis of this cellulose derivate, the dissolution condition and the self hardening principle in function of the pH and the temperature. As to conclude by preliminary tests, the biocompatibility in vivo and in vitro of the self-hardening hydrogel mixed with biphasic calcium phosphate granules will be studied.

皮肤扩张术修复头皮合并颅骨缺损

目的探讨头皮合并颅骨缺损的修复方法。方法对2000年至2007年治疗的6例头皮合并颅骨缺损患者，采用皮肤扩张术修复头皮，钛网修补颅骨缺损。结果6例患者中，1例患者出现皮瓣下积液，经抽吸、加压包扎后愈合；其余病例未出现感染、血肿及皮瓣坏死等并发症，外观满意。结论皮肤扩张术和钛网联合应用是修复头皮合并颅骨缺损的较好方法。     

Plastid genomes of the Rhodophyta and Chromophyta constitute a distinct lineage which differs from that of the Chlorophyta and have a composite phylogenetic origin,perhaps like that of the Euglenophyta

Summary A phylogenetic tree has been constructed from comparisons of entire 16S rRNA gene sequences from different prokaryotes and from several algal plastids. According to this study, and to previous work on the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase (Rubisco) large and small subunit genes, we postulate that: (1) rhodophyte and chromophyte plastid genomes have a common, composite phylogenetic origin which implies at least two different ancestors, a cyanobacterial and a -proteobacterial ancestor; (2) chlorophyte (green algae and land plants) plastids have a cyanobacterial ancestor which probably differs from that of rhodophyte and chromophyte plastids, and in any case constitute a different lineage; (3) euglenophyte plastid genomes also seem to have a composite phylogenetic origin which involves two different lineages.

Structure and Concentration Capacity of the Kidneys in Brattleboro Rats under Conditions of Long-Term Vasopressin Treatment

Endoprostheses made from knitted fabric of 3 loop types were used for hernioplasty in rats. Biocompatibility of implanted textile constructions was evaluated after 6 months. The intensity of inflammatory reaction and types of complications in animals depended on the loop type and method of finishing of the mesh endoprosthesis tissue. __________ Translated from Byulleten’ Eksperimental’noi Biologii i Meditsiny, Vol. 145, No. 5, pp. 582–587, May, 2008

2-Octyl Cyanoacrylate Topical Adhesive as an Alternative to Subcuticular Suture for Skin Closure After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial in the Same Patient

BackgroundThe 2-octyl cyanoacrylate topical adhesive with flexible self-adhesive polyester mesh (Dermabond Prineo) is becoming widely used in many surgical fields. However, no prior studies have tested the efficacy and safety of this topical adhesive compared with subcuticular suture in the same patient. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety between Dermabond Prineo and subcuticular suture for skin closure in patients undergoing same-day bilateral total knee arthroplasties (TKAs).Materials and MethodsA prospective, double-blind randomized controlled trial was performed in 51 patients scheduled to undergo same-day bilateral TKAs. One knee was randomly assigned to the Dermabond Prineo and the other knee was allocated to the subcuticular suture. As primary outcomes, Vancouver scar scale was evaluated at 6 months and Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale was evaluated at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months. Secondary outcomes included cosmesis efficacy (Hollander wound evaluation scale [HWES] and cosmesis visual analog scale [VAS]), time and pain efficiency (skin suture time, stitch out time, and stitch out pain VAS), and safety (wound complications during the 6-month follow-up period). The primary and secondary outcome measures were compared between groups.ResultsThere were no significant differences in Vancouver scar scale and Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale at 6 months. Although there were no significant differences in HWES at 2 weeks, the Dermabond Prineo group showed better step-off border item of HWES. There was also no difference in cosmesis VAS at 6 months. The Dermabond Prineo group showed superior results in terms of time (suture time: Dermabond Prineo = 191 second (sec) ± 60.1 sec, subcuticular suture = 356.8 sec ± 92.3 sec; stitch out time: Dermabond Prineo = 4 sec ± 1.3 sec, subcuticular suture = 26.6 sec ± 4.2 sec, all P < .001) without significant differences in pain scale (P = .823) or wound complications (all P > .05).ConclusionComparing cosmetic efficacy, time efficiency, and safety, Dermabond Prineo provided quicker wound closure, shorter stitch out time, and better wound margin coaptation in the early postoperative period but similar cosmetic efficacy compared with subcuticular suture. Based on our study, Dermabond Prineo is a useful alternative to subcuticular suture in patients undergoing TKA.Level of EvidenceTherapeutic level 1.
