[Influence of colchicine upon morphology of intervertebral disc of rabbit].

The morphological changes of intervertebral disc of rabbit in the culture liquids of containing colchicine was observed by microscopy and transmission microscopy and hydroxyproline density of culture liquids was measured by stages. Meanwhile, set up control groups. Undiscovery that colchicine can produce discolysis and shrinking.

[Early coverage of deep partial-thickness burn wound with porcine dermal collagen membrane. An experimental study].

Collagen was extracted by pepsin digestion from porcine skin and collagen membrane was prepared by salt precipitation. Collagen membrane as a wound dressing was evaluated in a deep partial-thickness burn wounds in a rat model. Burn wound, 4 x 4 cm, were inflicted by exposing skin to 75 degrees C for 15 seconds followed by de-epithelization.

Porcine dermal collagen as a wound dressing for skin donor sites and deep partial skin thickness burns.

Collagen was extracted by pepsin digestion from porcine skin, and collagen membrane was prepared by salt precipitation. The porcine collagen membrane was evaluated as a burn wound dressing in deep partial skin thickness burn wounds in rats. Burn wounds, 4 x 4 cm, were inflicted by exposure of skin to 75 degrees C for 15 s followed by de-epithelialization.
