Experimental model of capsular contracture in silicone implants

Abstract: -The breast implant procedure is one of the most performed into Plastic Surgery and the contracture that occurs the capsule formed around the breast implants one of most frequent complication. We describe here one experimental model of capsule contracture in rats.

“…VEGF is a major constituent of hESC-EPC CM, acting on the vascular endothelial cells and thereby promoting angiogenesis and increasing the vascular permeability in the peripheral tissue. VEGF has been reported to be effective in improving ischemic symptoms when administered at a lower dose [15][16][17]. We therefore designed the current experiment to examine the effects of a single administration of VEGF to improve ischemic symptoms.…”

“…9 Em ensaios clínicos, desde que devidamente autorizados pelo Comitê de Ética da instituição, podem ser realizados, por exemplo, estudos comparando táticas e/ou técnicas operatórias já consagradas em locais simétricos do corpo, a fim de verificar a melhor eficácia ou resultado entre ambas, podendo-se excluir a variável interpessoal. Esse modelo de estudo também pode ser autocomparativo.…”
