[Wound healing in viscera studied using a hemostatic gelatin-starch sponge of Polish manufacture]. 1977

M Pruszczyński, and H Szmigielska, and B Mikucka

The authors studied the reaction of liver, spleen and kidneys in rats to the implantation of Polish made hemostatic gelatin-starch sponge. The sponge under study evoked no disadvantageous tissue reactions in the case of liver; it was readily resorbed and did not inhibit the wound healing. It facilitated the healing of lienal wounds without any suturing and produced neither local nor general disadvantageous results. When dressing renal wounds, the sponge was completely resorbed within 3 weeks and the wound was completely healed. The renal wounds healed without any complications despite of a greater tissue reaction compared with that of liver and spleen.

D007668	Kidney	Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations.	Kidneys
D008099	Liver	A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances.	Livers

D005781	Gelatin Sponge, Absorbable	Sterile, gelatin-base surgical sponge applied topically as an adjunct to hemostasis when the control of bleeding by conventional procedures is ineffective to reduce capillary ooze or is impractical.

D006490	Hemostatics	Agents acting to arrest the flow of blood. Absorbable hemostatics arrest bleeding either by the formation of an artificial clot or by providing a mechanical matrix that facilitates clotting when applied directly to the bleeding surface. These agents function more at the capillary level and are not effective at stemming arterial or venous bleeding under any significant intravascular pressure.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
