Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) microspheres/liquid poly(dimethylsiloxane) composition for correction of small defects in face: histological evaluation in animal experiment

Abstract

Two kinds of composition based on commercial liquid poly(dimethylsiloxane) and laboratory-made poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) microspheres of different size fractions (30-40 or 125-180 microm) were prepared. Tissue reaction on injection of the compositions, optimum microsphere size and morphology were investigated in the experiments on rats. The microspheres induced foreign body reaction characterized by an increased content of fibroblasts and mild infiltration of injection field by inflammatory cells. The 125-180 microm microspheres seemed to be well covered with poly(dimethylsiloxane) and more uniformly distributed in the tissue than the 30-40 microm ones. As a result, the extent of foreign body reaction induced by the former microspheres was somewhat lower than that induced by the latter. Moreover, time-dependent degradation of 30-40 microm PHEMA microspheres was more pronounced than that of 125-180 microm ones, which can affect duration of the aesthetic effect after prospective facioplasty. Results of histological investigations demonstrate a good prospect of the proposed composition for contour and bulk facioplasty of small soft tissue defects and skin wrinkles.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
