Nature of the bond between partial-thickness skin and wound granulations

Fibrin Adhesive Derived From Snake Venom in Periodontal Surgery

“…This phenomenon can be understood considering that fibrin is a fundamental component for the success of grafts 15‐17 . It is responsible for graft adherence, connecting the elastin of the graft to the elastin of the receptor bed 20,21 . The adhesive may be well identified histologically in the tissue as an amorphic eosinophilic substance up to day 3 and nearly disappears by day 7 22 .…”

“…[15][16][17] It is responsible for graft adherence, connecting the elastin of the graft to the elastin of the receptor bed. 20,21 The adhesive may be well identified histologically in the tissue as an amorphic eosinophilic substance up to day 3 and nearly disappears by day 7. 22 When mucogingival flaps immobilized with sutures are compared to those immo-bilized by means of human fibrin adhesive, it was observed that the wound treated with the adhesive initially presents the formation of a denser fibrin network.…”

The Effect of Dacarbazine on Wound Healing

“…Although both experimental and control animals ate less and lost weight during the immediate postoperative period, there were no significant differences between the groups, mitigating against starvation as a cause of the decreased WBS noted in groups 2 and 3. The inflammatory phase of wound healing could be blunted by defibrination, 10,11 or interference with macrophage activity, 11,12 but would proceed normally in the face of anemia, 13 leukopenia, 14,15 and complement depletion 16 . Similar basic hematology between control and one experimental group was not a surprise, since hematologic derangement with dacarbazine is usually self limited and typically occurs late (leukopenia and thrombocytopenia occur after three weeks) 17 .…”

Use of Dry Human and Bovine Amnion as a Biological Dressing

“…This biological bond has been considered to be a fibrin elastin biological bond. 19 Advantages Amnion is especially useful in children because the membrane, being wafer thin and light in weight, releases the children from the restraining influence of bulky dress¬ ings, which may cause respiratory embarrassment when applied over the trunk and abdomen.…”
