The pulmonary interstitium may affect the movement of water, macromolecules, and
inflammatory cells between capillaries and lymphatics. Hyaluronan (hyaluronic acid), a …

A film coating based on hyaluronic acid and 5-aminosalicylic acid was developed for the
creation of anti-adhesion barrier. Application of the protective film in Wistar rats with …

OBJECTIVE: Air leakage is a frequent complication during lung surgery. A new hydrogel
glue was created by mixing aldehyded dextran and ε-poly (l-lysine), and its feasibility as a …

The lubricating abilities and the protective functions of hyaluronan, a structural component of
interstitial and connective tissues, were assessed in in vitro models of airway mucus …

The tremendous swelling potential of hyaluronic acid (HA) is well established, however, the
possible role of HA for interstitial and alveolar edema of the lung during general anesthesia …

Objective: To examine the effectiveness of a cross-linked hyaluronan solution (auto–cross-
linked polysaccharide [ACP] gel) for the prevention of postsurgical adhesions. Design: A …

Hyaluronan present in the peritoneal cavity is removed during the course of peritoneal
dialysis. The addition of hyaluronan to dialysis fluids has been proposed as a means to …

Background Shedding of the endothelial glycocalyx can be observed regularly during
sepsis. Moreover, sepsis may be associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome …

Tissue engineering represents an attractive potential for regeneration of engineered
functional pulmonary tissue. Hyaluronic acid, an extracellular matrix component promotes …

Background Hyaluronan (HA) is an unbranched glycosaminoglycan. It has been proposed
that HA acts as a vehicle for cytokines due to the strong negative charge on its surface. We …
