Figure 7From: Comparison of morphological changes in efferent lymph nodes after implantation of resorbable and non-resorbable implants in rabbits Score values of histiocytic apoptosis for all examined groups (* = p < 0.05). Three months: PLA and Ti showed significant higher values than MgCa, LAE, sham operated and control group; Six months: MgCa showed a distinct increase, the values for PLA, Ti, LAE and for the sham operated group decreased. MgCa = MgCa0.8, LAE = LAE442, PLA = poly-96L/4D-lactide, Ti = TiAl6V4, sham operated = surgery without implant material, control = no surgery on the limb.Back to article page
