These results were compared with similar observations made using asbestos as a control. Whereas the latter materials were encapsulated, the polyethylene fibers were phagocytized by foreign body giant cells and decreased in quantity with the passage of time. Based upon these observations and a review of the literature on tissue reactions to these materials, it was determined that polyethylene fibers are biologically useful as a substitute for asbestos., application/pdf}, pages = {152--159}, title = {ラットの皮下組織内に埋入したポリエチレン繊維に対する組織反応}, volume = {16}, year = {1990} }
