Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo evaluate the collagen changes of allografting an acellular dermal matrix (allo-ADM).
METHODSThe allo-ADM was grafted underneath the skin of SD rats. The content of collagen and the proportion of type I to III collagen was examined with a biochemical assay.
RESULTThe content of collagen and the proportion of type I to III collagen in the allo-ADM group showed no significant changes.
CONCLUSIONThe allo-ADM could keep long time in the body and it may be an ideal material for soft tissue filling.
