Here we investigated how a coating of intravascular balloon with paclitaxel (drug-coated balloon; DCB, Freeway™) impacted porcine peripheral artery vascular function and remodeling. Domestic swine (n = 54) underwent percutaneous overstretch balloon dilation of femoral and iliac arteries, controlled by angiography and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Paclitaxel tissue uptake was measured at 1 h ...... hiện toàn bộ
X-ray diffraction characterization of dental gold alloy-ceramic interfacesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 12 - Trang 215-223 - 2001
Z. Cai, I. Watanabe, J. C. Mitchell, W. A. Brantley, T. Okabe
X-ray diffraction (XRD) was employed to study dental alloy-ceramic interfaces. A Au-Pd-In alloy, which requires oxidation before porcelain firing, and a Au-Pt-Pd-In alloy, which does not require oxidation before porcelain firing, were selected in this study. Alloy specimens were centrifugally cast. Specimen surfaces were metallographically polished through 0.05 μm Al2,O3} slurries. A thin layer (<...... hiện toàn bộ
Directional and temporal variation of the mechanical properties of robocast scaffold during resorptionSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 26 - Trang 1-8 - 2015
J. Waygood, G. E. Murch, T. Fiedler
This paper addresses the mechanical behavior of robocast PCL-Bioglass® scaffolds. These structures can be used as 3rd generation implants in tissue engineering to support the regrowth of damaged tissue, in particular bone. After successful tissue regeneration the scaffolds slowly dissolve leaving no foreign material permanently inside the body. However, to avoid mechanical separation from surround...... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of processing parameters on the microstructure and mechanical behavior of silica-calcium phosphate nanocompositeSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 21 - Trang 2087-2094 - 2010
Xueran Liu, Ahmed EI-Ghannam
Silica-calcium phosphate nanocomposite (SCPC) is a bioactive ceramic characterized by superior bone regenerative capacity and resorbability when compared to traditional bioactive ceramics. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of processing parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties of SCPC. Cylinders were prepared by pressing the ceramic powder at 200, 300 or 400 ...... hiện toàn bộ
Surface tailoring of poly(ethylene terephthalate) via ligand-tethered comb-like PEG to enhance endothelializationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 - Trang 291-299 - 2007
Xiaolin Li, Jian Ji, Ming Pu, Xiaoli Wang, Jiacong Shen
The comb-like PEG (CPEG) end-tethered with l-lysine was explored to surface modification of PET to enhance endothelialization. The hydroxyl end groups of CPEG were oxygenated into aldehyde groups. The CPEG-CHO was grafted onto the aminolysized PET. The l-lysine was then end-tethered onto surface via the residual aldehyde groups. The surface modification was confirmed by ATR-FTIR, contact angle and...... hiện toàn bộ
Primary osteoblast cell response to sol-gel derived bioactive glass foamsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 16 - Trang 851-856 - 2005
P. Valerio, M. H. R. Guimaráes, M. M. Pereira, M. F. Leite, A. M. Goes
Bioactive glass macroporous structures were developed in this work to be used as scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications. A sol-gel route was used to obtain glass foams with the introduction of a gas phase in the solution and by vigorous agitation of the sol-gel solution that contains a foam agent. Stable and homogeneous foams were formed near the gelation point, which were than dried a...... hiện toàn bộ
Development of graded hydroxyapatite/CaCO3 composite structures for bone ingrowthSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 18 - Trang 1817-1824 - 2007
F. Heilmann, O. C. Standard, F. A. Müller, M. Hoffman
Ceramic composites composed of constituents with different bone cell reactions present an interesting consideration for a new bone replacement material. The first component of the composite used in this study, hydroxyapatite, is known to be replaced by natural tissue significantly slower than the second, calcium carbonate, which has limited structural stability. A graded hydroxyapatite/calcium car...... hiện toàn bộ
The effect of temperature and shear rate on platelet aggregationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 8 - Trang 887-890 - 1997
A. P SHORTLAND, N. P RHODES, A RATTRAY, R. A BLACK, D. F WILLIAMS
Samples of whole blood were obtained from male volunteers and exposed to combinations of shear rates and temperatures representative of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in a modified computer-controlled concentric cylinder rotational viscometer for a period of 100 s. Blood sampled from the chamber was fixed in paraformaldehyde, stained with CD41 and analysed by flow cytometry. Only platelet-positive p...... hiện toàn bộ
