Donkey heart valves for humans?
Researchers inward Red People's Republic of China accept extolled the virtues of ass substance valves for potential purpose every bit replacements inward humans.
Their findings accept been published inward Artificial Organs, the official peer-reviewed magazine of the International Federation for Artificial Organs.
The study, entitled “Donkey pericardium every bit an option bioprosthetic substance valve material”, evaluated ass substance valves against those from cows, next implantation beneath the peel of rats.
The valve textile was assessed later 4 in addition to viii weeks.
No differences were observed for maximum charge in addition to tear strength. However, the ass valves were significantly thinner in addition to showed greater tensile strength.
The researchers, from Shandong University in addition to Weifang Medical College, said the ass valves too showed reduced calcification.
They may supply a suitable valve substitute for humans, they concluded.
