This study compares collagen distribution and type with the intensity of snoring and the degree of drowsiness following uvulopalatoplasty with CO2 laser and radiofrequency ablation.\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Study Design, Patients, and Methods<\/jats:italic>\n                    : Fragments were taken from the soft palate by biopsies of 16 uvulopalatoplasty patients and 5 controls, 5 weeks after surgery, and they were stained with Sirius red and observed with polarization microscopy. Photographs were taken, and the type and changes in the amount of collagen before and after surgery were compared.\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Results<\/jats:italic>\n                    : A histological analysis 5 weeks postoperatively in 10 patients showed an increased amount of collagen and replacement of type III collagen with type I collagen.\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\n                    : The increase in the amount of collagen after uvulopalatoplasty was significantly larger in patients than in the controls, and all changes from type III to mostly type I collagen occurred in patients who had the surgery. The subjective improvement of both snoring and somnolence is associated with this increase in type I collagen.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/pho.2006.2085","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,1]],"date-time":"2007-11-01T13:08:15Z","timestamp":1193922495000},"page":"449-454","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Collagen Type Analysis in the Soft Palate after Surgical Intervention with CO\n                    <sub>2<\/sub>\n                    Laser and Radiofrequency Ablation"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Denilson","family":"Fomin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, Faculty of Medicine of Ribeir\u00e3o Preto, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Esther","family":"Nicola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UNICAMP, Campinas, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Constance","family":"Oliver","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cellular and Molecular Biology and Pathogenic Bioagents, Faculty of Medicine of Ribeir\u00e3o Preto, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michel","family":"Farci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cellular and Molecular Biology and Pathogenic Bioagents, Faculty of Medicine of Ribeir\u00e3o Preto, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ralph","family":"Dibbern","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, Faculty of Medicine of Ribeir\u00e3o Preto, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria C\u00e9lia","family":"Jamur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cellular and Molecular Biology and Pathogenic Bioagents, Faculty of Medicine of Ribeir\u00e3o Preto, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Antonio","family":"de Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, Faculty of Medicine of Ribeir\u00e3o Preto, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,10]]},"container-title":["Photomedicine and Laser Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1089\/pho.2006.2085","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1089\/pho.2006.2085","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,1]],"date-time":"2026-05-01T23:23:28Z","timestamp":1777677808000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full\/10.1089\/pho.2006.2085"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2007,10]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2007,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1089\/pho.2006.2085"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1089\/pho.2006.2085","relation":{},"ISSN":["1549-5418","1557-8550"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1549-5418","type":"print"},{"value":"1557-8550","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2007,10]]}}}
