    Description / Table of Contents: An annual snow-soil simulator for Arctic tundra was developed using coupled models of surface equilibrium temperature and substrate thermal diffusion. Snow ripening, melt and accumulation are modeled in the simulator which is forced with daily weather data. The simulator predicts that a snow fence array capable of producing drift deeper than 4.2 meters will initiate a permanent snowfield at Barrow, Alaska. Such a man-induced snowfield could serve as a reliable source of fresh water for Barrow and similar villages in the North Slope region of Alaska. Further analysis indicated that albedo reduction due to dust fall, snow removal, etc., is dominant over aerodynamic effects in producing the early spring meltout observed at Barrow Village.

    Notes: Two methacrylate orthopaedic bone cements were compared as delivery systems for bioactive human growth hormone (hGH). These were London Hospital Bone Cement (LHBC) and a poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) bone cement. A uniquely precise bioassay for hGH, named ESTA, was used. It was adapted to assess both the bioactivity of the hormone released from hGH loaded cements and also the in vitro cytotoxicity of the cements themselves. Eluates from both cements proved cytotoxic, this being most pronounced for LHBC. The cytotoxicity could be readily diluted out, and a lengthy exposure time (〉 24 h) was required to kill the cells. Both cements released similar quantities of bioactive hGH, which were ∼0.6% of that originally incorporated. This could potentially provide significantly high local concentrations of the hormone to the tissues surrounding the implant. Approximately double quantities of hormone were released as measured by immunoassay, leading to significant decreases (p=〈0.0001) in the B:I ratios of the released hormone. The effect was greatest for LHBC. Our results suggest that the structural integrity of the hGH molecules released from LHBC were the most compromised.

    Notes: We have characterized the biodegradable material poly(∊-caprolactone) (PCL) as a delivery system for recombinant human growth hormone (hGH). Two contrasting methods for the manufacture of the biomaterial were investigated: namely, solvent casting and solvent casting particulate leaching; the latter yielded porous PCL discs. The degree of porosity, which was assessed by scanning electron microscopy, could be controlled by incorporating selected concentrations of particulate sodium chloride during the manufacturing process. Bioactive hGH released from the PCL preparations was quantified with a highly sensitive and precise bioassay which was based upon hGH activation of rat lymphoma Nb2 cells. Eluates obtained from control discs of PCL which had not been loaded with hGH proved to be nontoxic when tested on these cells. The release of bioactive hGH from hormone-loaded nonporous discs of PCL was found to be a direct function of the initial hormone loading dose. Increased porosity of the discs manufactured by solvent casting particulate leaching increased the delivery of hGH from discs which had been immersion loaded. However, hGH release after surface loading was independent of porosity. Hormone concentrations were also assessed by immunoassay so that the ratios of bio- to immunoactivity (B:I ratio) of the hormone release could be determined. We found that the B:I ratio of the hormone after release from unstored discs was identical to that of the hormone prior to its incorporation into the PCL, demonstrating that the mild incorporation procedures utilized had not adversely affected the structural integrity of the hormone. However, if the hormone-loaded discs were stored at 37°C prior to elution, the B:I ratios of the hGH released decreased indicating that this compromised the bioactive site. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
