摘要: The purpose of this study was to promote fibroblast proliferation and collagen remodeling in flexor tendon repair through sustained delivery platelet derived growth factor (PDGF-BB). release kinetics PDGF-BB from a novel fibrin matrix system initially evaluated vitro. After the vivo degradation rate determined using fluorescently tagged fibrin, delivered site canine model. effect on intrasynovial healing studied histology-based assays (cell density, proliferation, type I expression) by measuring total DNA levels reducible crosslink levels. provided vitro at modulated ratio heparin factor. In vivo, remained for more than 10 days. Delivery led qualitative increase cell mRNA expression. also statistically significant increases (20% 7 days, 18% 14 days) crosslinks (30% days). Sustained factors may be achieved fibrin-based system. increased thus accelerate healing.
