Abstract

Wound contraction and scar formation after cleft palate repair lead to growth impairment of the maxilla and midface. Myofibroblasts play a key role in these processes. The application of an interferon-γ (IFN-γ)-loaded collagen scaffold after surgery might reduce the differentiation of myofibroblasts. In this study, the tissue response to IFN-γ-loaded collagen scaffolds was evaluated after implantation in the palate of rats. Scaffolds, with or without IFN-γ, were implanted submucoperiosteally in the palate of two groups of 25 five-week-old male Wistar rats. Groups of five rats were sacrificed at 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 weeks post-implantation and processed for histological analyses. On haematoxylin and eosin-stained sections, the cell density and number of giant cells within the scaffolds were determined. Blood vessels, inflammatory cells, and myofibroblasts were detected by immunohistochemistry. The data for cell density, blood vessels, and giant cells were compared with a two-way analysis of variance. The scores for myofibroblasts and inflammation were compared by a rank sum test. A mild and rapidly subsiding inflammatory and foreign body response was found in both groups. Angiogenesis had already begun after 1 week, showed a peak ...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.

Auditory Perception

Auditory perception is the ability to receive and interpret information attained by the ears. Here is the latest research on factors and underlying mechanisms that influence auditory perception.
