Spleen damage is one of the most common injuries of the abdomen. Thus, splenectomy is one of the most common embodiments of the surgical procedure. Justified by the desire of surgeons to perform organ save surgery, which was made possible by the emergence of new hemostatic agents. In this paper, an experimental and clinical study of the effectiveness of fibrin-collagen substance (FCC) "Tachocomb" to hemostasis of spleen injuries was submitted.

This work is concerned with the sequence of events taking place during the first stages of bone fracture healing, from bone breakup until the formation of early fibrous callus (EFC). The latter provides a scaffold over which subsequent remodeling processes will eventually result in successful bone repair. Specifically, some mathematical models are proposed to estimate the time required for (1) the formation immediately after fracture of a fibrin clot, described in terms of a phase transition in a polymerization process, and (2) the onset of EFC which is produced when fibroblasts arising from differentiation of chemotactically recruited mesenchymal stem cells remodel a previous fibrin clot by releasing a collagen matrix over it.

Conclusion: Human adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), encapsulated in a fibrin-collagen hydrogel for the coating of an electrode array, produce sufficient amounts of neurotrophic factors and may be suitable for enhancing the bioelectric interface of cochlear implants (CIs).
Objectives: To evaluate different hydrogel compositions loaded with ASCs with regard to delivery of neuroactive substances and mechanical suitability for the coating of a CI electrode array.
Methods: ASCs were cultivated in hydrogels consisting of collagen and fibrin in varying fractions (0:1, 1:1, 1:2, and 1:0).

In 20 patients (study group) wound covering "Tachokomb" was used for final hemostasis and high hermetic properties of wound surface.
