The diagram of mouse model of prosthesis implantation with periostin, LOX and BAPN treatment. (A) Modeling process diagram. (a) Hemispherical silicone prosthesis; (b) Cut skin into bags; (c) Implant spherical silicone prosthesis; (d) Suture and disinfect the skin. (B) Process record chart. The silica gel + LOX group had the slowest wound healing and more severe suppurative condition. (C) General drawing of silicone implants. The silica gel + periostin group had a larger prosthesis block and the surrounding tissues were yellow.
