This study developed an animal model of surgically wounded submandibular glands(SMGs)and investigated the effects of collagen gel with basic fibroblast growth factor(b FGF)on tissue regeneration of surgically wounded SMGs in vivo.The animal model was produced by creating a surgical wound using a 3-mm diameter biopsy punch in SMGs.The wound was filled with collagen gel with b FGF(b FGF group)or without b FGF(control group).In the animal model of surgically wounded SMGs,salivary glands without scar tissue around the wound area were observed with smaller areas of collagen gel.Small round and spindle-shape cells invaded the collagen gel in both groups after operation day(AOD)5,and this invasion dramatically increased at AOD 7.Host tissue completely replaced the collagen gel at AOD 21.The invading immune cells in the group treated with collagen gel with b FGF were positive for vimentin,a-smooth muscle actin(a SMA),CD49f,c-kit and AQP5 at AOD 7.Similarly,the m RNA expression of vimentin,a SMA,CD49f,keratin19 and AQP5 was also increased.This study suggests that the use of collagen gels with b FGF improves salivary gland regeneration.

The animal model was produced by creating a surgical wound using a 3-mm diameter biopsy punch in SMGs.The wound was filled with collagen gel with b FGF (b FGF group) or without b FGF (control group). In the animal model of surgically wounded SMGs, salivary glands without scar tissue around the wound area were observed with smaller areas of collagen gel. Small round and spindle-shape cells invaded the collagen gel in both groups after operation day (AOD) 5, and this invasion was dramatically increased at AOD 7. Host tissue completely replaced the collagen gel at AOD 21. The invading immune cells in the group treated with collagen gel with b FGF were positive for vimentin, a-smooth muscle actin (a SMA), CD49f, c-kit and AQP5 at AOD 7. Similar, the m RNA expression of vimentin, a SM A, CD49f, keratin19 and AQP5 was also increased. This study suggests that the use of collagen gels with b FGF improves salivary gland regeneration.
