High impact information on Vicryl

  • We encapsulated bovine serum albumin (BSA) in injectable poly(DL-lactide- co-glycolide) (PLGA) 50/50 cylindrical implants and determined the mechanism of BSA instability [6].
  • Transgenic chondrocytes were assembled 3-dimensionally in alginate or in bioresorbable co-polymer fleeces of vicryl and polydioxanon embedded in low-melting-point agarose [7].
  • Such a pulmonary artery band was placed in seven 1 week old mongrel puppies by using a loop of an absorbable suture material (Vicryl) [8].
  • The differences in hydrolytic degradation of two size 2-0 synthetic absorbable sutures, Polyglycolic acid (Dexon) and Poly(glycolide-lactide) (Vicryl), in the buffer media of three different pH levels ranging from 5.25 to 10.09, were compared in terms of the percentage retention of tensile strength [9].
  • This pH dependent hydrolysis of Dexon and Vicryl sutures should command surgeons' attention in their selection of synthetic absorbable suture materials for particular needs [9].

Gene context of Vicryl

  • To examine the role of BMP-2 in an extraskeletal site of rat using a controlled release system of peptides, we encapsulated the recombinant human BMP-2 (rhBMP-2) with poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and implanted the rhBMP-2/PLGA capsules in the subcutaneous area of rats [30].
  • Nano size range (600 nm) pDNA-loaded in poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) polymer particles with high encapsulation efficiency (70%) were formulated, exhibiting sustained release of pDNA of over a month [15].
  • A carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)-based DNA vaccine, adsorbed onto cationic microparticles of poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLG) induced tumor-protective immunity against a lethal challenge of MC38-CEA colon carcinoma cells in CEA-transgenic mice that was more potent than that of the corresponding naked DNA vaccine [31].
  • Among the five absorbable sutures and over the concentration range of this study, the monofilament Monocryl suture was the most sensitive toward superoxide ion-induced degradation, followed by Maxon, Vicryl, Dexon, and PDS II sutures [32].
  • To develop a controlled release system for bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) capsules containing BMP were prepared by an interfacial precipitation method using a water-in-oil-in-water emulsion [33].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Vicryl

  • Plain catgut sutures lost relatively significant amounts of strength at both acidic and alkaline conditions when compared with Dexon and Vicryl sutures; hence, precaution should be taken when they are used in closing tissues in contact with acidic environment like the stomach [34].
  • A 90% splenectomy was performed, and the residual splenic fragment was wrapped in Vicryl mesh [35].
  • In order to simplify the vaccination schedule, we coencapsulated hsp65-DNA and trehalose dimicolate (TDM) into biodegradable poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microspheres [36].
  • Using methods of radioimmunoassay (RIA), we measured levels of CGRP-ir and SP-ir in the dorsal quadrants of approximately the lumbar 4-5 (L4-L5) spinal segments of rats with a CCI induced using polyglactin (Vicryl), plain gut, or chromic gut suture [37].
  • PURPOSE: Preliminary assessment of feasibility, efficacy, acute and chronic side effects associated with permanent intraoperative placement of 125I vicryl mesh brachytherapy in a select group of high-risk Stage I NSCLC who have undergone video-assisted thoracoscopic resection (VATR) [38].
