Biological Material And Preparation Method Therefor
Provided are an anticoagulation and anticalcification biological material and a preparation method therefor. The preparation method includes the following steps: introducing, on a biological tissue, a polymerizable reactive group, and undergoing free radical copolymerization with a zwitterion. In the present disclosure, by introducing a reactive group capable of free radical polymerization to a biological tissue and undergoing free radical copolymerization with a zwitterionic monomer, collagen in the biological tissue is crosslinked at multiple sites by means of a polymer, thereby achieving sufficient crosslinking within and between collagen fibers, improving the stability of the biological tissue, and prolonging the service life of the biological tissue. Moreover, a zwitterion is introduced to the surface of the biological tissue, to improve the anticoagulation performance, promote the in-situ endothelialization of a biological valve, and prevent the calcium element deposition.
COMPOSITE MATERIAL FOR TISSUE RESTORATION
A composite material can include a gel and at least one nanostructure disposed within the gel. A method for healing a soft tissue defect can include applying a composite material to a soft tissue defect, wherein the composite material includes a gel and a nanostructure disposed within the gel. A method for manufacturing a composite material for use in healing soft tissue defects can include providing a gel and disposing nanofibers within the gel.
REGENERATIVE BIOACTIVE SUSPENSION DERIVED FROM FRESHLY DISAGGREGATED TISSUE AND METHODS OF USE IN CLINICAL THERAPIES
A bioactive suspension derived from freshly disaggregated tissue is provided, as well as related methods of formulation and use. The bioactive suspension may comprise a cell-free supernate derived from epidermal and dermal tissue that has been enzymatically and mechanically disaggregated, then separated, and which may contain tissue regeneration factors known to speed healing. The bioactive suspension may further comprise genetically-modified treatment cells, wild type cells, or both, and may be combined with one or more scaffolding elements to form a bioactive suspension combination product suitable for treatment of a cutaneous defect. Synthetic bioactive suspensions and bioactive suspension combination products are also provided.
COMPOSITIONS INCLUDING AMELOGENIN AND USES THEREOF
Pharmaceutical compositions, more specifically poloxamer copolymer-based compositions and hyaluronic acid-based compositions, containing amelogenin, are useful for promoting periodontal or orthopedic soft or hard tissue regeneration, wound closure, and skin regeneration and rejuvenation. The composition can contain a non-biodegradable thermosensitive pharmaceutically acceptable poloxamer copolymer in an amount of 18% to 30% by weight; amelogenin in an amount of 0.005% to 3% by weight; a disaccharide in an amount of 0.05% to 5% by weight; and an amino acid selected from alanine, glycine, isoleucine, leucine, proline, valine, and a mixture thereof in an amount of 0.05% to 5% by weight.
Silica fiber compositions and methods of use
Embodiments of the invention include silica fiber compositions useful for treatment of animal wounds and tissue, as well as for other applications in industry. The fiber compositions may be formed via electrospinning of a sol gel produced with a silicon alkoxide reagent, such as tetraethyl ortho silicate, alcohol solvent, and an acid catalyst.
SIX-DIMENSIONAL BARBED SURGICAL THREAD AND METHOD OF USE
A six-dimensional barbed surgical thread that includes a central core and six first barbs. The central core has a circumference, a proximal end and a distal end that is opposite the proximal end. The six first barbs are positioned around the circumference of the central core so that the first barbs are radially adjacent to each other and obliquely extend from the central core.
CROSSLINKED HYALURONIC ACID AND USE THEREOF
Provided are a cross-linked hyaluronic acid and use thereof.
MULTI-LAYER HERNIA MESHES AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE AND USE THEREOF
Hernia meshes are provided as well as methods of use thereof and methods of making.
Three-dimensional medical implant
The present disclosure relates to a three-dimensional, degradable medical implant for regeneration of soft tissue comprising a plurality of volume-building components and a mesh component which is substantially made of monofilament or multifilament fibers, wherein each volume-building component is attached to at least one point on a surface of the mesh component, and wherein the projected surface area of each volume-building component, when projected on the surface of the mesh component, corresponds to a maximum of one tenth of the surface area of the mesh component.
Method of producing three-dimensional tissue having vascular system structure, and three-dimensional tissue including gel having vascular system structure
Provided is a method for producing a three-dimensional tissue having a vascular system structure, said method comprising: (a) a step for forming a vascular system structure template using a gel; (b) a step for forming a three-dimensional tissue in the vicinity of the template; (c) a step for dissolving the template using a cationic solution; and (d) a step for seeding vascular endothelial cells and/or lymphatic vessel endothelial cells in a void remaining after the dissolution of the template. Also provided is a method for producing a three-dimensional tissue having a vascular system structure, said method comprising: (i) a step for forming a vascular system structure template using a gel; (ii) a step for seeding vascular endothelial cells and/or lymphatic vessel endothelial cells on the template; (iii) a step for forming a three-dimensional tissue in the vicinity of the cells seeded above; and (iv) a step for dissolving the template using a cationic solution. Also provided is a three-dimensional tissue comprising a gel which has a vascular system structure.
