OBJECTIVE: To explore the characteristics and clinical application of alginate dressing to provide better biological dressing for clinical wound healing. METHODS: A computer-based online search of CNKI, Medline, Wanfang, Science Direct, and Ei databases was performed for related articles published between January 1960 and October 2009, with the key words "alginate, dressing, clinical application" in Chinese and English. Studies regarding characteristics and clinical application of alginate dressing were included. Repetitive and Meta analysis were excluded. In addition, related books were manually searched. RESULTS: A total of 65 articles were collected, 17 were included, and 48 repetitive or Meta analyses were excluded. Alginate is natural polysaccharide carbohydrate extracted from sea tangle, and alginate dressing is soft non-textile fiber refined from seaweed. It contains 85% natural alginate fiber and 15% sodium tvIose. It can absorb effusion, form gelate, and exchange Na~+/Ca~(2+) with effusion. Alginate dressing has been widely used in bedsore treatment, anal fistula nursing, stoma nursing, and diabetic foot nursing. Compared with traditional dressing, infection rate of alginate dressing is lower due to good impermeability, promotion of regional vessel proliferation and blood supply, as well as moist and slightly acidic environment which benefits neutrophil function enhances disinfection. Moreover, it can be used in wound healing following abdominal region operation and abscess incision drainage.CONCLUSION: Alginate dressing provides appropriate environment for wound growth, retains active materials in diffusion, promotes active material release, benefit necrotic tissue solution and cell proliferation and differentiation, as well as epithelial cell migration. Moreover, it maintains hypoxia state of wound, stimulates newly generated capillary growth, and promotes granulation tissue growth.

BACKGROUND: The application of polymerized 2-hydroxyethyl methacryate (PHEMA) in many organs of living body shows good biocompatibility.OBJECTIVE: To observe the biocompatibility and fibrovascular condition of methl-methacrylate (MMA) modified PHEMA hydrogel orbital implant.DESIGN: Single sample observation.SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology, the General Hospital of Chinese PLA; Institute of Polymer Science,Department of Chemical Engineering, Tinghua university.MATERIALS: Twenty-five New Zealand rabbits of either gender and clean grade, weighing 2.0 to 2.5 kg, were provided by the Animal Experimental Center, General Hospital of Chinese PLA. The animals were observed at postoperative 2, 4,8, 12 and 24 weeks, 5 at each time point. The experiment was permitted by ethics committee. MMA modified PHEMA hydrogel orbital implant was provided by Institute of Polymer Research, Department of Chemical Engineering, Tinghua University. The experiment was permitted by ethics committee.METHODS: This experiment was carried out in the laboratory of Department of Ophthalmology, the General Hospital of Chinese PLA from March to October 2003. The right eye served as operation eye. When the rabbits were anesthetized,their eyelids were open with eyelid retractor. Bulbar conjunctiva was open along the edge of limbus of cornea for isolating fascia. Oculorotatory muscle was isolated and pre-set suture line was made, then muscle was cut off. When optical nerve was cut off, eyeball was completely excised. A MMA modified PHEMA hydrogel orbital implant with the diameter of 14 mm was implanted into the fossa orbitalis of rabbits. Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was performed at postoperative 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 weeks. The hydrogel orbital implant was taken out at postoperative 2, 4, 8,12 and 24 weeks for light microscope, immunohistochemical and electron microscope examinations.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Vascularization of hydrogel orbital implant was observed in vivo by isotope tracing observation at different time points. Vascularization of hydrogel orbital implant was observed ex vivo by light microscope,immunohistochemical and electron microscope observations.RESULTS: All 25 New Zealand rabbits were involved in the final analysis. ①SPECT examination showed that isotope increased around the implants at week 2, and extended gradually at weeks 4 and 8. The radiotracer accumulated evenly in the implants from surrounding to the center at week 12. ②Light microscopic examination of the prostheses revealed fiber vessels grew from the surrounding to the center. At week 2,fibrovascular tissue grew in the hole of implant. Long or round cells with deeply dyed nucleuses were found in the hole, being fibroblasts. The vascular structure in the hole of the implant was clear, and vascular wall and blood cells were found. The inflammatory cells were mainly neutrophils and lymphocytes, and occasionally large macrophages. ③Scanning electron microscope showed that fibrovascular tissue grew in the hole of the implant, and was dense and intercrossed at week 12. ④ Conjunctiva split appeared postoperatively in 1 of 25 cases, and healed well after two times of operation. Conjunctival congestion lessened and conjunctiva healed within postoperative 7 days in the remaining 24 animals.CONCLUSION: MMA modified PHEMA hydrogel orbital implant has good histocompatibility and fast vascularization process, and is easy to be operated with fewer complications. So, it is a safe and practicable new type orbital implant.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of the expanded capsule on biomechanics of the transplanted autologous costal cartilage.

METHODSTen New Zealand white rabbits aged 3 months were involved and four 15 ml tissue expanders were implanted symmetrically on the back of each rabbit. After 1 month, expanded capsules were removed (experimental group) on the left side and were reserved (control group) on the right side. Meanwhile, the 6th and 7th costal cartilage without the perichondrium were taken out and each cartilage was divided into two pieces and put under the expanded capsule symmetrically. The cartilage at the upper sides and lower sides were taken out at 4 weeks and 8 weeks later, respectively. All the cartilages were sculptured for the demand of the machine text. The tension and compression property of the cartilages were assessed by the material testing machine (Instron 5967) and the results were analyzed statistically.

RESULTS8 weeks lateral, the average ultimate tension strength was (4. 954 + 2. 8) MPa in experimental group and (2.939 + 0.842) MPa in control group. The average compressive strength was (58.74 ± 13.77) MPa in experimental group, and (47.61 ± 11.41) MPa in control group. The biomechanics property of the cartilages in the experimental group is better than the control group, and the differences were statistically significant.

CONCLUSIONSRemoving the expanded capsule is benefical to maintain the biomechanics of autologous costal cartilage.
