Effect of sugarcane biopolymer in vocal fold of rabbits. Comparative study with calcium hydroxyapatite

Abstract: PURPOSE:To compare the inflammatory reaction caused by the injection of a sugarcane biopolymer (SCB) into the vocal fold of rabbits with that caused by calcium hydroxyapatite (CaH). METHODS:CaH (Radiesse ® ) and SCB gel were injected respectively into the right and left vocal cords of thirty rabbits. The rabbits were distributed into two equal groups and sacrificed at three and twelve weeks after injection. We then evaluated the intensity of the inflammatory reaction, plus levels of neovascularization, fibroge… Show more

“…In critical bone defects on calvaria of Wistar rats, SCB gel preparations associated with bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) showed to be a suitable scaffold for the BMP, presumably facilitating the controlled release of BMP during bone repair 11 . Although some studies proposed SCB as a promising material for grafting and other medical procedures, none of those researches aimed bone grafting with granulated SCB to this date [12][13][14][15][16][17] . Therefore, this paper focused on the effects of particulate (granule-shaped) SCB on bone repair relating it to its biocompatibility and bone neoformation.…”

“…Histological results in rabbit laryngeal tissue showed severe giant cell aggregation (over 50% of slide area), light levels of lymphocytic inflammatory infiltrate, mild fibrosis, and mild angiogenesis at both 3 and 12 weeks after CaHA injection. Mucosal inflammation was mildly prevalent at 3 weeks but normalized at 12 weeks [ 23 ]. Similar results were obtained when CaHA was used as a facial filler.…”

“…For this reason, hydroxyapatite has been introduced for vocal cord injection and is increasingly used 25 . Although its better durability and volume stability, often for a few years, is favorable for persistent vocal fold paralysis with a glottic gap, several adverse reports of foreign body reactions and granuloma formation, 26,27 and even implant migration together with dislocation of the material 28 and an unfavorable biomechanical aspect attributable to the stiffness of the material regarding phonation 29 have appeared in the literature. One material that was thought to combine favorable biomaterial and biomechanical characteristics and endurance properties was autologous fat.…”
