To better understand biofilm development and persistence in chronic wounds, Figure 2 illustrates the stages of the biofilm life cycle, including adhesion, microcolony formation, maturation, and dispersion, as well as host immune responses such as neutrophil recruitment, M1/M2 macrophage polarization, and cytokine signaling (e.g., interleukin-1 beta [IL-1], tumor necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-], interleukin-6 [IL-6], interleukin-8 [IL-8], interleukin-12 [IL-12]), which collectively contribute to immune evasion and chronic infection [40-43]
After reconstitution with a sterile diluent, store at 2 to 8 C (36 to 46 F) and use promptly within laboratory protocols
A variety of techniques have been described for fixation of unstable OCD lesions or detached fragments, such as fixation with resorbable implants (screws, anchors, arrows, pins) 5961 or metal implants (screws or pins), 62,63 in combination with fibrin glue
