title: [Collagen changes of allografting an acellular dermal matrix].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the collagen changes of allografting an acellular dermal matrix (allo-ADM).
  
  
  METHODS
  The allo-ADM was grafted underneath the skin of SD rats. The content of collagen and the proportion of type I to III collagen was examined with a biochemical assay.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The content of collagen and the proportion of type I to III collagen in the allo-ADM group showed no significant changes.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The allo-ADM could keep long time in the body and it may be an ideal material for soft tissue filling.
