Evaluation of resorbable polydioxanone and polyglycolic acid meshes in a rat model of ventral hernia repair.

The objective of this study was to evaluate physical, mechanical, and biological properties of the polydioxanone (PDO) monofilament meshes and polyglycolide (PGA) polyfilament meshes in comparison with Permacol implants. In rat experimental model, a 1.5 × 2.

Tissue engineering construction from 3D porous ceramic carriers and multipotent stromal cells for the repair of bone tissue defects.

The tissue engineering construction was developed from human bone marrow multipotent stromal cells and 3D porous foamed-ceramic carriers of a zirconium oxide-aluminum oxide system. The carriers had no cytotoxic activity and were potent in maintaining the cell adhesion and proliferation. We developed the method for inoculation and cultivation of bone marrow multipotent stromal cells on these carriers.
