Background: Biologic valved grafts are important in cardiac surgery, and although several types of graft are currently available, most commercial xenografts tend to cause early disfiguration due to intimal proliferation and calcification. We studied the graft failure patterns on non-fixed and glutaraldehyde-fixed pulmonary xenograft in vivo animal experiment. Materials and Methods: Pulmonary valved conduits were obtained from the right ventricular outflow tract of eleven miniature pigs. The grafts were subjected to 2 different preservation methods; with or without glutaraldehyde fixation: glutaraldehyde fixation (n=7) and non-glutaraldehyde fixation (n=4). The processed explanted pulmonary valved grafts of miniature pig were then transplanted into eleven goats. Calcium quantization was achieved in all of the explanted xenograft, hemodynamic, histopathologic and radiologic evaluations were performed in the graft which the transplantation period was over 300 days (n=7). Results: Grafts treated with glutaraldehyde fixation had more calcification and conduit obstruction in mid-term period. Calcium deposition also appeared much higher in the glutaraldehyde treated graft compared to the non-glutaraldehyde treated graft (p<0.05). Conclusion: The present study suggests that xenografts prepared using glutaraldehyde fixation alone appeared to have severe calcification compared to the findings of non-glutaraldehyde treated xenografts and to be managed with proper anticalcification treatment and novel preservation methods. This experiment gives the useful basic chemical, histologic data of xenograft failure model with calcification for further animal study.

Calcification is a major problem in glutaraldehyde-preserved bioprosthetic valves. We have used bovine pericardium processed in a solution containing 0.625% glutaraldehyde, 0.05M HEPES buffer and 0.26% magnesium chloride in saline. And, we also treated the glutaraldehyde-preserved bovine pericardium with a surfactant, Triton X - 100 to reduce calcification. To evaluate the degree of calcification. 4 kinds of pericardial xenografts, group I [Xenomedica, equine pericardial xenografts], group II [0.625% glutaraldehyde-preserved bovine pericardiums], group III [0.5% Triton X - 100 treated bovine pericardiums], and group IV [1.2% Triton X - 100 treated bovine pericardiums] were implanted in subcutaneous layer of growing rabbits, and they were explanted about 3 months later. The mean calcium contents[%/mg of dry tissue] of 0.5% and 1.2% Triton X - 100 treated bovine pericardiums [80.0$\pm$27.1%: 78.6$\pm$47.0% respectively] were lower than those of glutaraldehyde-preserved bovine pericardiums[126.2$\pm$29.8] [p=0.05]. Thus, under the conditions of subcutaneous implantation in rabbits, Triton X - 100 was efficient in calcification mitigation.

Alakaline phosphatase (ALP)- or horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-antibody conjugate was used frequently on the immunological detection methods such as enzyme-linked immunosobent assay (ELISA), immunobolt, immunohistochemistry. The classical enzyme-antibody coupling method by one-step (direction) injection of glutaraldehyde bring into being disadvantage such as low sensitivity of antigen detection because of homopolymers. This study was modified with the dialysis glutaraldehyde method to provide simple coupling through E-amino residues present in most protein. The dialysis glutaraldehyde coupling effects were better than the classical one-step glutaraldehyde injection in antigen detection of ELISA and immunobolt. Optimal dose of the dialysis glutaraldehyde solution was 0.10-0.25 %. This results suggest that the dialysis glutaraldehyde coupling method can readily applied to antigen detection of in vitro and in vivo.

This study was investigated the antimicrobial activity of glutaraldehyde cross-linked glucosamine. Glutaraldehyde was used as a cross-linker which specifically combines an amine-group of molecules. To optimize the mixing ratio of glutaraldehyde and glucosamine, mixing ratio was set up 1:1, 2:1, 3:1 and 0.5:1 in molarity, respectively. The optimum mixing ratio of glucosamine and glutaraldehyde was found to be 3:1 using thin layer chromatography based on the production of complex. Glucosamine-glutaraldehyde cross-linked complex (Ggcc) revealed significant antimicrobial activity toward PWG than F1, both microbial strains were isolated from porcine semen as antibiotics resistance bacteria (ARB). These results clearly demonstrate that Ggcc has potential bactericidal activity toward ARB in porcine semen.

The chemistry, antimicrobial properties, organic soil resistance, toxicity, corrosivity and chemical stability of stabilized alkaline 2%, glutaraldehyde solution(SGS) are discussed. SGS retains the maximum antimicrobial activity of alkaline glutaraldehyde solutions and the chemical stability here to fore observed only with acidic glutaraldehyde solutions. These improvements, along with the inherent resistance of glutaradehyde to neutralization by organic soil, allow SGS to be continuously used for 14 days in situations of high dilution, or 28 days in situations of low dilution.

The purpose of this study is to observe the effect of formocresol and glutaraldehyde to tooth germs and periapical tissues after perforation of interradicular portion of pulpal floor and application of physiological saline solution in control groups, formocresol and glutaraldehyde in experimental groups. The following results were obtained 1. In control groups, normal healing processes were seen, and, on the sixteenth day, the epithelization of injured areas was completed. Inflammatory reactions were limited to the injured surface, and the underlying alveolar bone were normal and successive tooth germs were normal. 2. In both formocresol groups and glutaraldehyde groups, tissue reactions were identical. Inflammatory reactions were slightly compared with control groups, but the surface epithelizations were delayed compared with control group. 3. In both formocresol and glutaraldehyde groups, necrosis was seen in superficial tissue of bone marrow, and, at 24th day, center area of bone marrow on the successive tooth germs were losed and replaced with connective tissue, and superficial soft tissue of the injured area was connected with soft tissue on the successive tooth germ. In remaining alveolar bone, osteoclastic reaction was remarkable. 4. In both formocresol and glutaraldehyde groups, there is no injury to the successive tooth germs. 5. In both formocresol and glutaraldehyde groups, periodontal membrane was normal, but the partial resorption of cementum and dentin near the injured area were seen.

Glutaraldehyde is known as an ideal preservatives for pericardial heterograft, and many laboratories used this chemicals for preparing tissue valves, pericardial patches and MVOP [monocusp ventricular outflow patch] so we tried to find out the appropriate concentration and ingredients of the Glutaraldehyde for the preparing bovine pericardium. We selected 50 calves, aged about 2 years, and procured their pericardia. These were divided 6 groups such as fresh group, treated with only antibiotics, treated with Glutaraldehyde 0,5%, 0.625 %, 0.75 %, and 0.875 %, and our experiments included microbial culture test, tensile strength measurement and microscopic examination. On microbial culture, there were no growth on 1 week and 4 weeks after preparation with all kind of Glutaraldehyde, but on 4 weeks after only antibiotics treatment [Penicillin, Streptomycin, Kanamycin, Amphotericin -B] E.coli and candida albicans were observed. On tensile strength test, 0.625 % and 0.75 % Glutaraldehyde were revealed as the best preservatives for bovine pericardium and compared to other commercial products they kept more desirable tensile strength. On light and electron microscopic examinations, Glutaraldehyde treated pericardia had much regular and compact collagen fibers and preserved more normal structures, but there were no difference between the different concentration of the Glutaraldehyde. We concluded that 0.625% and 0.75 % Glutaraldehyde were the best concentration for preservation of bovine pericardium in our experiment.

Glutaraldehyde have been used as the most effective cross-linking agent for stabilizing collagen fibers and preventing biodegradation. We processed bovine pericardium in a solution containing 0.625% glutaraldehyde,0.05M HEPES buffer and 0.26% magnesium chloride in saline. The glutaraldehyde-preserved bovine pericardium was implanted in 36 patients at Seoul National University Hospital during a 11-month period between May 1989 and March 1990. 24 were males and 12 females, with ages ranging from 6 months to 168 months [mean age of 43 months]. In 12 patients, the glutaraldehyde-preserved bovine pericardium was used for orthotopic reconstruction of the pericardial sac. In 24 patients. the glutaraldehyde-preserved bovine pericardium was heterotopically implanted.; pulmonary monocusp implant and RVQT [right ventricular outflow tract] patch widening were performed in 10 patients, pulmonary monocusp implant in 6, RVOT patch widening in 4, valved conduit in 2, conduit and pulmonary angioplasty in 1, and ventricular septation in l. With vascular suture techniques, the anastomoses were immediately tight. There was no bleeding from the needle holes and no oozing through bovine pericardium itself. During the follow-up period of up to 10 months, no infections of the glutaraldehyde-preserved bovine pericardium occurred and no bovine pericardium-related complications were observed in this series.

심혈관계 수술 시 이용되는 조직판막 등 glutaraldehyde 에 보존한 이종보철편들은 석회화에 의한 변성으로 환자의 장기성적에 나쁜 영향을 주게 된다. 이에 연구자는 glutaraldehyde 용액에 Mg 염을 첨가, 자유 알데히드와 미리 결합하게 함으로서 조직 및 혈중의 칼슘과 반응하는 것을 막아 석회화를 완화하고자 시도하였다. 우심낭을 정방형 조각으로 만들어 60 조각의 우심낭편은 대조군으로 0.625% glutaraldehyde 용액에 보존하고(1군), 60 조각은 MgCl26H2O 를 4g/L 첨가한 glutaraldehyde 용액에(2군) 각각 한달 간 보관하였다. 이들을 60 마리의 백서의 복부 피하에 각각 한 조각 씩 이식하여 1 개월, 2 개월, 3 개월 및 6 개월 째에 적출, spectophotometry 로 이 우심낭편에 침착한 칼슘을 정량분석한 결과 1 개월 및 2 개월 째에는 두군 간의 석회화 정도에 차이가 없었으나, 3 개월에 1군 1.738 mg/g, 2군 0.786 mg/g, 6 개월에 1군 3.102 mg/g, 2군 1.623 mg/g으로 정량되어 p<0.05 의 통계적 차이가 관찰되고 있다. 즉 마그네슘염의 첨가로 중기 이상 시간이 경과함에 따라 피하에 이식된 보철편의 석회화가 완화 되었음을 알 수 있었다.
