The effects of cross-linked hyaluronate hydrogel and liquid sodium hyaluronate on post-
surgical adhesion reformation were examined using a rabbit model. Primary adhesions in …

Hyaluronan, a glucosaminoglycan with unique water-binding capacity, is accumulated in the
interstitial edematous tissue in rejecting organs. We here investigated whether the increased …

The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of hyaluronic acid in prevention of
intraabdominal adhesions. Adhesion formation is associated with serious postoperative …

A bioresorbable membrane made of sodium hyaluronate and carboxymethycellulose, has
been reported to prevent peritoneal adhesion. This study was designed to test its efficiency …

Background Adhesions are a known cause of morbidity and mortality following abdominal
surgery. Multiple approaches have been evaluated to prevent or minimize the occurrence of …

INTRODUCTION: The presence of dense adhesions within the pericardial space
complicates reoperative cardiac surgery. Prior attempts to reduce adhesion formation after …

BACKGROUND: Postoperative pericardial adhesions make a repeat sternotomy time-

bioabsorbable membrane combined use with both expanded-polytetrafluoroethylene …

Prevention of intraperitoneal adhesion after gynaecological surgery is essential for
maintaining postoperative fertility. In this study, the adhesion prevention effect was …

We have used a previously described model of bilateral radiation-induced lung disease in
the rat (Ward et al., Radiat. Res., 136, 15-21, 1993) to study the role of hyaluronan in this …
