    Notes: A cage implant system was utilized to quantitatively and qualitatively characterize in vivo leukocyte interactions with cast Biomer. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in conjunction with cytochemical staining procedures were used to investigate the cellular events at the leukocyte/Biomer interface as well as in the inflammatory exudate over a 21-day implantation period. SEM was used to characterize leukocyte morphology on the Biomer surface and the cytochemical stains were used to differentially count leukocytes and to demonstrate intracellular alkaline and acid phosphatase activity. The results showed that the population density of leukocytes on the Biomer surface diminished with implantation time. The population density of multinucleated foreign body giant cells remained constant with time, while the numbers of nuclei per giant cell increased. The differential analysis revealed that macrophages preferentially adhered to the Biomer surface compared to other leukocytes in the exudate. The phagocytic capability of all adherent leukocytes, including giant cells, decreased with time and this corresponded to changes in leukocyte morphology observed with SEM.

    Notes: A new hydrogel material has been prepared by crosslinking a hydrophilic, nonionic poly(amino acid), poly(2-hydroxyethyl-L-glutamine). The material properties of the hydrogel can be controlled by variation in the crosslink density, and the swelling ratio was found to be a sensitive and convenient method for measuring the extent of in vivo biodegradation of implanted specimens. Degradation of the material was observed only during the first 2 weeks of subcutaneous implantation in rats, and is attributed to hydrolysis by proteolytic enzymes released during the acute and chronic stages of the normal inflammatory response.

    Notes: A semiempirical epitaxial model has been derived which correlates and interrelates the surface free energy, ultrastructural morphology, surface charge, surface chemistry, and surface molecular motions of a model triblock copolymer to thrombogenesis. This paper addresses the aspect of: (1) ultrastructure order versus disorder, (2) primary and secondary molecular motions, (3) surface and side chain chemistry, (4) thrombogenesis, and (5) the derived epitaxial model based on the above observations. This model can be extrapolated to include and predict the relative thrombogenic responses of various crystalline and semicrystalline polymeric substrates, i.e., aliphatic polyolefins, polyurethanes, and polypeptides.

    The role of the fibrous capsule in the function of implanted drug-polymer sustained release systems (1981)

    Notes: Numerous studies have been carried out on drug-polymer sustained release systems designed for implantation. The majority of these efforts have been directed toward determining the in-vitro rate of drug release from specific systems or drug polymer combinations and the in-vivo studies have attempted to utilize analysis of the blood serum and excretory products as a measure of the release rate and behavior. To gain a better understanding of the influence of the local tissue environment and implant site on release behavior, we have investigated the release behavior of a gentamicin-silicone rubber system implanted in canines. Particular attention has been directed toward investigating the role that the fibrous capsule which eventually surrounds the implant plays in determining the rate and pattern of drug release. The drug burst effect was decreased by the use of a drug-free silicone rubber membrane on the gentamicin-silicone rod implant. Analysis for gentamicin in the tissue adjacent to the implant for periods up to four weeks indicated that the release rate was retarded by the development of the fibrous capsule. The temporal and spatial variations in gentamicin levels in the tissue surrounding the rod implants were determined. In addition, the influence of implant coating and gentamicin loading level in the implant on local tissue concentrations with time were also investigated. These studies provide evidence that the fibrous capsule surrounding a drug-polymer sustained release implant may influence the release behavior of the drug in an avantageous or disadvantageous manner depending upon the desired function of the sustained release system.
