THE INFLUENCE OF VITAMIN C ON THE DYNAMIC OF RELATION OF COLLAGEN I AND III TYPES IN THE PERIPROSTHESIS AREA.

The aim of the study was to learn the degree of biocompatibility of synthetic herniological prostheses «Progrip», with collagen-stimulating effect of ascorbic acid on the growth of connective tissue in the experiment. We examined characteristics of collagenogenesis in the anterior abdominal wall depending on the effect of vitamin C using the method of polarization microscopy. We suggest a new way to stimulate reparation process by ascorbic acid which would help to optimize forming functionally matured structures of connective tissue of the anterior abdominal wall surrounding endoprosthesis. Due to the results of our investigation it has been clear that modification effect of vitamin C is positive for synthesis of collagen in the periprosthetic capsule for any type of endoprosthesis. It has been proves by statistically reliable increase in ratio of collagen types I and III when vitamin C is used in the diet of experimental animals.
