    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé L'injection sous-cutanée de solutions de Ca ATP provoque, chez le Rat, la formation de plaques rugueses et circonscrites, de couleur blanche, contenant du phosphate de calcium amorphe (Ca/P 1.3, 1.5). Des dépôts denses, en forme de bâtonnets, orientés le long des éléments fibreux, entourent les vaisseaux sanguins et sont situés dans le tissu conjonctif souscutané. La réaction observée est proportionnelle à la dose utilisée, la quantité de calcium de la plaque étant environ 100 fois celle de la quantité injectée. Ces résultats semblent indiquer que le phosphate de calcium, formé à partir du Ca ATP, dans le tissu sous-cutané actif en ATP-ase, est susceptible de provoquer un phénomène de cristallisation par nucléation. L'injection d'une solution de Ca Cl2, ayant la même concentration en calcium que la solution Ca ATP ou d'une solution de phosphate de sodium, ayant la même concentration en phosphore que Ca ATP, ne provoque pas de plaques. Cependant, l'injection d'une solution contenant du Ca2+ et du PO 4 3− forme de la plaque, en quantité inférieure à celle provoquée par l'injection de Ca ATP. A l'aide d'une dose d'injection type, contenant des concentrations accrues de magnesium, on observe la formation de plaques dont la taille et le poids en cendres sont inversement proportionnels au rapport Mg/Ca de la solution injectée. Dans ce système, il semble que le rapport Mg/Ca puisse affecter le processus de calcification et qu'il puisse aussi inhiber la calcification de tissus mous, en controlant les rapports locaux Mg/Ca.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die subkutane Injection von CaATP-Lösungen in Ratten führte zur Bildung von weißen, umschriebenen, sandigen Plättchen, welche amorphes Calciumphosphat enthielten (Ca/P 1,3; 1,5). Dichte, rutenförmige Ablagerungen fanden sich entlang den fibrösen Elementen und umgaben Blutgefäße im subkutanen Bindegewebe. Diese Reaktion hing von der Dosis ab; die Menge des Calciums in den Plättchen entsprach etwa der hundertfachen eingespritzten Menge. Diese Ergebnisse lassen vermuten, daß das Calciumphosphat, welches im ATPase-aktiven subcutanen Gewebe aus CaATP gebildet wurde, als Keim für die Kristallisation wirken kann. Die Injektion einer Lösung von CaCl2, welche dieselbe Konzentration hatte wie das Calcium in der CaATP-Lösung, oder einer Natriumphosphatlösung, welche dieselbe Phosphorkonzentration wie CaATP hatte, erzeugte keine Plättchen. Hingegen erzeugte die Injektion einer Lösung, welche Ca2+ und PO 4 3− enthielt, Plättchen, die jedoch kleiner waren als diejenigen nach der Injektion von CaATP. Bei Verwendung einer Standard-Injektionsdosis, welche zunehmende Mengen von Magnesium enthielt, wurden Plättchen gebildet, deren Größe und Aschgewicht umgekehrt proportional zum Mg/Ca-Verhältnis in der eingespritzten Lösung waren. Die Ergebnisse bei diesem System lassen vermuten, daß das lokale Mg/Ca-Verhältnis den Kalzifikationsprozeß beein-flussen kann. Aus diesen Befunden folgt, daß es möglich sein könnte, die Weichteilverkalkung durch die Kontrolle der lokalen Mg/Ca-Verhältnisse zu hemmen.
    Notes: Abstract Injection of CaATP solutions subcutaneously in rats resulted in the formation of white, circumscribed, gritty plaques containing amorphous calcium phosphate (Ca/P 1.3–1.5). Dense, rod-shaped deposits were oriented along the fibrous elements and surrounding blood vessels in the subcutaneous connective tissue. The response was dose related, the amount of plaque calcium being about 100 times the amount injected. These results suggest that the calcium phosphate formed from CaATP in the ATPase active subcutaneous tissue may nucleate crystallization. Injection of a solution of CaCl2 having the same concentration as the calcium in the CaATP solution, or of a sodium phosphate solution having the same concentration of phosphorus as the CaATP, did not produce plaques. However, injection of a solution containing both Ca2+ and PO 4 3− produced plaques, although smaller than those formed by injection of CaATP. Using as standard CaATP injection dose containing increasing amounts of magnesium, plaques were formed whose size and ashed weight were inversely proportional to the Mg/Ca ratio in the solution injected. In this system, the results suggest that the local ratio of Mg/Ca may affect the calcification process. A corollary to this conclusion is that it may be possible to inhibit soft tissue calcification through control of the local Mg/Ca ratios.

    Notes: A series of alkyl 2-cyanoacryloyl glycolate tissue adhesives were synthesized and characterized by NMR. Physical properties and bond strengths are presented. Within the series, bond strength decreased with increasing molecular weight. Corresponding polymers were evaluated by in vitro and in vivo techniques for biocompatibility. In general, in vitro biocompatibility increased with molecular weight. Based on in vitro and in vivo results, the isobutyl and isoamyl derivatives gave polymers that were most biocompatible, however, the entire series was found to be less reactive than poly(methyl 2-cyanoacrylate) and only the isopropyl derivative polymers more reactive than poly(isobutyl 2-cyanoacrylate). Approximately one-third of the isobutyl polymer biodegraded in vivo after 6 weeks.

    Notes: The compatibility of candidate implant materials with living cells was evaluated in vitro. The materials and their interaction with living human blood and tissue cells were observed, recorded, and analyzed by means of reflected light interference microscopy. Blood cells-materials interfaces were prepared by incubating the materials in contanct with whole blood or platelet-rich plasma. The interaction between the materials and the cells was examined either in a static or a dynamic flow system, and recorded by photography or cinemicrography. The tissue cell-materials interfaces were prepared by cultivating animal and human cells as a monolayer directly on the surface of the material to be evaluated. The resulting implant-cell specimens are suitable for histological fixation and subsequent analysis by modern evaluation techniques such as scanning electron microscopy and elemental analysis by electron microprobe. These studies can be performed on the same implant specimen before, and following its exposure to the biological material. Furthermore, separate analyses of the implant and biochemical analyses of the cells and culture medium can be carried out before and after the interaction. These techniques have been used to investigate the interaction of blood and tissue cells with a variety of promising implant candidate materials such as polymers, metals, glass, and carbon surfaces. As a result of these studies, a number of observations have been made which may be of practical significance to the design engineer in developing and evaluating the safety of prosthetic materials for use in the human body.

    Notes: The synthesis of poly(lactic acids) from the cyclic lactides and properties of the polymers prepared have been described. Degradation rates in vitro under homogeous and heterogeneous conditions have been measured. The kinetics of deesterification under homogeneous conditions is second order and an activation energy of 11 Kcal/mol has been calculated. This is comparable to the value found for the hydrolysis of alkyl acetates. A biological in vitro method for determining the degradation of poly(lactic acids) has been described. The method indicates, in accordance with expectations, that poly(dl-lactic acid) degrades at a faster rate than L(+) lactic acid. Initial results of medical evaluation of the polymers in suture, rod, and film form are presented.

    Notes: A rapidly biodegradable tissue adhesive, 1,2-isopropylidene glyceryl 2-cyanoacrylate, was synthesized and characterized by NMR. Bond strength was determined. Three types of corresponding polymers were prepared and evaluated for in vitro and in vivo toxicity. The polymers were generally found to be in the moderately toxic and toxic groups similar to the lower alkyl 2-cyanoacrylates.
