The aim of the present study was to investigate the morphology and function of a drug eluting metallic porous surface produced
by the immobilization of poly lactide-co-glycolide microspheres bearing dexamethasone onto plasma electrolytically oxidized
Ti–6Al–7Nb medical alloy. Spheres of 20 μm diameter were produced by an oil-in-water emulsion/solvent evaporation method and
thermally immobilized onto titanium discs. The scanning electron microscopy investigations revealed that the size distribution
and morphology of the attached spheres had not changed significantly. The drug release profiles following degradation in phosphate
buffered saline for 1000 h showed that, upon immobilisation, the spheres maintained a sustained release, with a triphasic
profile similar to the non-attached system. The only significant change was an increased release rate during the first 100 h.
This difference was attributed to the effect of thermal attachment of the spheres to the surface. 相似文献

Due to its excellent bone-like mechanical properties and non-toxicity, magnesium (Mg) and its alloys have attracted great interest as biomaterials for orthopaedic applications. However, their fast degradation rate in physiological environments leads to an acute inflammatory response, restricting their use as biodegradable metallic implants. Endowing Mg-based biomaterials with immunomodulatory properties can help trigger a desired immune response capable of supporting a favorable healing process. In this study, electrospun poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) fibers loaded with coumarin (CM) and/or zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO) were used to coat the commercial AZ31 Mg alloy as single and combined formulas, and their effects on the macrophage inflammatory response and osteoclastogenic process were investigated by indirect contact studies. Likewise, the capacity of the analyzed samples to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been investigated. The data obtained by attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR-ATR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses indicate that AZ31 alloy was perfectly coated with the PCL fibers loaded with CM and ZnO, which had an important influence on tuning the release of the active ingredient. Furthermore, in terms of degradation in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution, the PCL-ZnO- and secondary PCL-CM-ZnO-coated samples exhibited the best corrosion behaviour. The in vitro results showed the PCL-CM-ZnO and, to a lower extent, PCL-ZnO coated sample exhibited the best behaviour in terms of inflammatory response and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL)-mediated differentiation of RAW 264.7 macrophages into osteoclasts. Altogether, the results obtained suggest that the coating of Mg alloys with fibrous PCL containing CM and/or ZnO can constitute a feasible strategy for biomedical applications. 相似文献

Magnesium alloys are used for degradable orthopaedic and cardiovascular implants due to their favourable mechanical and biological properties, degradation ability in physiological environment and stimulatory effect on the new bone formation. The research challenges are related to the increase of biological and mechanical compatibility. For the present study, a magnesium based alloy design was conducted to the following chemical composition: Mg?2.7Zn?1Ca?0.6Zr (wt.%). A complex thermomechanical processing route was applied: a plastic deformation by extrusion at various temperatures and deformation degrees (400 °C–480 °C, ? = 20 %–40 %), followed by various final heat treatments at 200 °C–400 °C for 10 min–60 min. Further, the influence of processing parameters upon the structure, mechanical properties and biological response was studied. Processed specimens were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (secondary electron imaging and energy dispersive spectroscopy) and mechanically by tensile tests. The most representative results were obtained for the samples extruded at 450 °C/? = 20 %, followed by a final heat treatment at 350 °C/15 min, air cooling. Further, for samples which revealed promising results, in‐vitro testing was developed. Biocompatibility testing of the Mg?2.7Zn?1Ca?0.6Zr (wt.%) alloy was realized by indirect contact studies using the Vero (ATCC® CCL‐81?, American Type Culture Collection) cell line. Cells morphologies, cell viability and proliferation were evaluated. 相似文献

In order to investigate new aspects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) growth and soot formation, we have synthesized special reference standards of cyclopenta-fused PAH (CP-PAH) and ethynyl-substituted PAH. We have identified several of these CP-PAH and ethynyl-PAH in benzene droplet combustion products, using high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultraviolet-visible (UV) absorption spectroscopy. Although one CP-PAH identified in these products - acenaphthylene - has previously been identified as a product of a variety of combustion systems, we have identified six additional CP-PAH and two ethynyl-PAH which have never before been unequivocally identified as the products of benzene pyrolysis or combustion: acephenanthrylene, aceanthrylene, cyclopent[hi]acephenanthrylene, cyclopenta[cd]fluoranthene, cyclopenta[cd] pyrene, dicyclopenta[cd, jk]pyrene, 2-ethynylnaphthalene, and 1-ethynylacenaphthylene. We present the corresponding UV absorption spectra obtained from the HPLC analysis of benzene droplet combustion products, and compare them to the UV absorption 相似文献

Phenanthrene, the archetypal “bay region” polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), loses two hydrogen atoms when subjected to flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP) at 1100 °C and suffers a major skeletal rearrangement to form pyracylene (1), along with 1-, 3-, and 4-ethynylacenaphthylene (2, 3, and 4, respectively). Evidence is presented that implicates cyclopenta[bc]acenaphthylene (7) as a key intermediate on the reaction pathway from phenanthrene to these four C14H8 products. 相似文献

Cellulose acetates with different substitution degrees possess a set of properties that makes them highly suitable for optical applications. This article discusses some of these properties, namely refractivity, dielectric properties, and transmittance. The contribution of the ratio between the molar refraction, which is proportional to the induced dipole moment, and the molar volume for the different atoms present in the studied polymers to the optical properties was investigated. The study illustrates the importance of such structural and compositional characteristics in tailoring some specific optical applications. Furthermore, optical transmission has been investigated in the 200–1000 nm range. To obtain the optical parameters, the approach proposed by Tauc for amorphous semiconductors has been used because of the similarity of the absorption edges. The values of pseudogap energy ranged between 3.44 and 4.70 eV, whereas those of Urbach energy were modified in the 18–37 meV range. All parameters determined have been related to the influence of the substitution degrees and of the synthesis condition. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010 相似文献

This paper is devoted to present a new algorithm computing in a very efficient way the topology of a real algebraic plane curve defined implicitly. This algorithm proceeds in a seminumerical way by performing a symbolic preprocessing which allows later to accomplish the numerical computations in a very accurate way. 相似文献

With the introduction of a new interdisciplinary field, osteoimmunology, today, it is well acknowledged that biomaterial-induced inflammation is modulated by immune cells, primarily macrophages, and can be controlled by nanotopographical cues. Recent studies have investigated the effect of surface properties in modulating the immune reaction, and literature data indicate that various surface cues can dictate both the immune response and bone tissue repair. In this context, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of titanium dioxide nanotube (TNT) interspacing on the response of the macrophage-like cell line RAW 264.7. The cells were maintained in contact with the surfaces of flat titanium (Ti) and anodic TNTs with an intertube spacing of 20 nm (TNT20) and 80 nm (TNT80), under standard or pro-inflammatory conditions. The results revealed that nanotube interspacing can influence macrophage response in terms of cell survival and proliferation, cellular morphology and polarization, cytokine/chemokine expression, and foreign body reaction. While the nanostructured topography did not tune the macrophages’ differentiation into osteoclasts, this behavior was significantly reduced as compared to flat Ti surface. Overall, this study provides a new insight into how nanotubes’ morphological features, particularly intertube spacing, could affect macrophage behavior. 相似文献

This study concerns the steady state modelling of a shell-and-tube evaporator using the zeotropic mixture R-407C. In this local type model, the control volumes are a function of the geometric configuration of the evaporator in which baffles are fitted. The validation of the model has been made by comparison between theoretical and experimental results obtained from an experimental investigation with a refrigerating machine. For test conditions, the flow pattern has been identified from a flow pattern map as being stratified. Theoretical results show the effect of different parameters such as the saturation pressure, the inlet quality, etc. on the local variables (temperature, slip ratio). The effect of leakage on the mixture composition has also been investigated. 相似文献
