Nylons (Nylon)

Polymers where the main polymer chain comprises recurring amide groups. These compounds are generally formed from combinations of diamines, diacids, and amino acids and yield fibers, sheeting, or extruded forms used in textiles, gels, filters, sutures, contact lenses, and other biomaterials.

1.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 08/01/2012 - "A prospective case-series study was performed on 17 cases with types III to V AC injuries treated by anatomic reconstruction of the AC ligaments (anterior and superior) and CC ligaments (conoid and trapezoid) using nylon tape and no metal hardware. " 08/01/2012 - "The purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiologic and functional outcomes of an anatomic reconstruction of both acromioclavicular (AC) and coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments in types III to V AC injuries using nylon tape and no metal hardware. " 07/01/2015 - "The nylon "Manja" is particularly more dangerous, as it not only cuts down opponent's kite string but also causes bodily injuries to humans, which may be at times fatal. " 04/01/2015 - "Surgical technique using a nylon tape to railroad instruments into the peritoneal cavity to minimise false passage and trauma is described in detail. " 10/01/2014 - "The purpose of this report is to compare the rate and profile of wound complications in a large number of patients who underwent posterior spinal surgery with CSA skin closure to rates of similar complications with standard nylon closure techniques. "
2.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 05/01/1995 - "The effector cells of this tumor-neutralizing activity were Thy1.2+ T lymphocytes that had been passed through a nylon-wool column, but no significant augmentation of cell-mediated cytotoxic activity of splenocytes from MethA-eradicated mice was observed in vitro." 10/01/1984 - "Additional studies demonstrated that nylon-adherent spleen cells from mammary tumor-bearing mice were not able to lyse natural killer cell-sensitive targets. " 12/01/1983 - "Target cell-binding studies revealed that conjugate-forming cells from nylon nonadherent dystrophic mouse spleen cells were found to be two- to fourfold greater than for normal mouse spleen cells using YAC-1 tumor cells as targets. " 11/01/2015 - "Consistent with this signaling, we observed an increase in the rate of phagocytosis by macrophages after the cancer cells were exposed to polyamide 1. The DNA sequence preference of polyamide 1 is 5'-WGGGTW-3' (where W = A/T), indicated by the pairing rules and confirmed by the Bind-n-Seq method. " 07/01/2015 - "Taken together, our present observations strongly suggest that the combinatory treatment with PI polyamides targeting KCNQ1OT1 might be a novel therapeutic strategy to cure patients with tumors over-expressing KCNQ1OT1."
3.	Infection 10/01/1984 - "Protection against primary infection in recipient mice was adoptively transferred by nylon wool adherent, B cell enriched subpopulations of spleen cells. " 01/01/1995 - "The aim of this study was to evaluate polymorphonuclear performance in 61 infection free diabetic patients based on tests of the different cell functions: 1) adhesion:adhesion molecule expression CD11a, CD11b, CD11c; adhesion test on nylon fibers. " 09/01/1966 - " The results of the study confirm the statements of others that the occurrence of clinical infection of the upper genital tract in patients having the IUD with nylon threads protruding into the vagina is usually due to an unrelated cause such as coital infection. " 12/01/2014 - "The sero-positive individuals were further tested for Fasciola infection using sediment detection with nylon bag (260 meshes) and Kato-Katz method. " 12/01/2013 - "We found that survival of beetles subjected to immune activation by nylon implant and subsequent fungal exposure a week later was significantly higher than survival of beetles which had been subjected to fungal infection only. "
4.	Astigmatism 12/01/1979 - "With interrupted suturing techniques, the axis of the correcting cylinder was more often against the rule while continuous closures with monofilament nylon more frequently produced with the rule astigmatism." 05/01/1977 - "It ranged from 1 to 10-5 dioptres, the mean value 4-09 dioptres with a standard deviation of +/-2-5. Removing the nylon suture eliminated this astigmatism and within a few weeks the corneal astigmatism correction in 48% of eyes returned to the preoperative level. " 12/15/1992 - "The use of a less biodegradable suture enables the maintenance of low levels of astigmatism for longer periods when compared with a previous study that used 11-0 nylon suture." 04/01/2009 - "Interrupted 10-0 nylon compression sutures were added in the opposite meridian to overcorrect astigmatism. " 10/01/1997 - "Patients with preoperative with-the-rule astigmatism might benefit from 10-0 nylon sutures and those with preoperative against-the-rule astigmatism, from 9-0 nylon sutures."
5.	Blister (Bulla) 08/01/1991 - "Pleural abrasion was carried out with a domestic nylon scouring pad and blebs or bullae were ligated or stapled and excised. " 03/01/2007 - "The bleb leakage in these eyes was easily repaired with 10-0 nylon sutures, and no eyes, including these 5 cases, showed bleb leakage after surgery. " 11/01/1978 - "The technique consists in excision of the thin conjunctiva of the bleb, undermining of the conjunctiva until the fold, arched incision of the cornea in front of the bleb, incarceration of the conjunctival lip in the corneal incision with fixation by continuous suture with monophile nylon-string (10X0). " 06/01/1983 - "Failure was secondary to scarring of the external bleb in 18 eyes and to closure of the internal Supramid tube in five eyes. " 08/01/2015 - "Conjunctival closure of all eyes was with the horizontal suture technique using 10-0 nylon suture to prevent bleb leakage and improve bleb morphology posttrabeculectomy. "
