    Description: The technological demand to push the gigahertz (10(9) hertz) switching speed limit of today's magnetic memory and logic devices into the terahertz (10(12) hertz) regime underlies the entire field of spin-electronics and integrated multi-functional devices. This challenge is met by all-optical magnetic switching based on coherent spin manipulation. By analogy to femtosecond chemistry and photosynthetic dynamics--in which photoproducts of chemical and biochemical reactions can be influenced by creating suitable superpositions of molecular states--femtosecond-laser-excited coherence between electronic states can switch magnetic order by 'suddenly' breaking the delicate balance between competing phases of correlated materials: for example, manganites exhibiting colossal magneto-resistance suitable for applications. Here we show femtosecond (10(-15) seconds) photo-induced switching from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic ordering in Pr0.7Ca0.3MnO3, by observing the establishment (within about 120 femtoseconds) of a huge temperature-dependent magnetization with photo-excitation threshold behaviour absent in the optical reflectivity. The development of ferromagnetic correlations during the femtosecond laser pulse reveals an initial quantum coherent regime of magnetism, distinguished from the picosecond (10(-12) seconds) lattice-heating regime characterized by phase separation without threshold behaviour. Our simulations reproduce the nonlinear femtosecond spin generation and underpin fast quantum spin-flip fluctuations correlated with coherent superpositions of electronic states to initiate local ferromagnetic correlations. These results merge two fields, femtosecond magnetism in metals and band insulators, and non-equilibrium phase transitions of strongly correlated electrons, in which local interactions exceeding the kinetic energy produce a complex balance of competing orders.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Li, Tianqi -- Patz, Aaron -- Mouchliadis, Leonidas -- Yan, Jiaqiang -- Lograsso, Thomas A -- Perakis, Ilias E -- Wang, Jigang -- England -- Nature. 2013 Apr 4;496(7443):69-73. doi: 10.1038/nature11934.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Physics and Astronomy, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa 50011, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23552945" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

The alpha-substituted compounds, alpha, alpha-dimethyl-, and alpha-ethyl-alpha-methyl-gamma-butyrolactone were anticonvulsant compounds with a spectrum of activity similar to that of ethosuximide. In contrast, beta-substituted compounds were convulsant agents similar to picrotoxinin. The alpha-substituted-gama-butyrolactones represent a new class of anticonvulsant drug with experimental and clinical potential.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Klunk, W E -- McKeon, A -- Covey, D F -- Ferrendelli, J A -- GM-07200/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM-24483/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- NS-14834/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1982 Sep 10;217(4564):1040-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6810462" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Crystalline cholesterol undergoes a phase transition a few degrees below human body temperature. The high-temperature form has an unusually complex structure with 16 independent molecules. In the transition two molecules change side chain conformation, four reorient about their long axes, and ten remain unchanged. The transition mechanism implies relatively nonspecific intermolecular interactions, qualitatively consistent with the behavior of cholesterol in biomembranes. The transition preserves a remarkably closely obeyed pseudosymmetry present in the structure.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hsu, L Y -- Nordman, C E -- GM15259/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 May 6;220(4597):604-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6836303" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The iron-carbon monoxide stretching mode and the iron-carbon-oxygen bending mode in carbon monoxide-bound cytochrome oxidase have been assigned at 520 and 578 cm-1, respectively. The frequencies, widths, and intensities of these modes show that the Fe-C-O grouping in carbon monoxide-cytochrome a3 is linear but tilted from the normal to the heme plane; that the iron-histidine bond in both five- and six-coordinate cytochrome a3 is strained; and that the carbon monoxide and the proximal histidine each have characteristic, well-defined orientations in all molecules. These data can account for the binding affinities of carbon monoxide and dioxygen under physiological conditions.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Argade, P V -- Ching, Y C -- Rousseau, D L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 Jul 20;225(4659):329-31.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6330890" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Arachidonic acid plays a central role in a biological control system where such oxygenated derivatives as prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes are mediators. The leukotrienes are formed by transformation of arachidonic acid into an unstable epoxide intermediate, leukotriene A4, which can be converted enzymatically by hydration to leukotriene B4, and by addition of glutathione to leukotriene C4. This last compound is metabolized to leukotrienes D4 and E4 by successive elimination of a gamma-glutamyl residue and glycine. Slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis consists of leukotrienes C4, D4, and E4. The cysteinyl-containing leukotrienes are potent bronchoconstrictors, increase vascular permeability in postcapillary venules, and stimulate mucus secretion. Leukotriene B4 causes adhesion and chemotactic movement of leukocytes and stimulates aggregation, enzyme release, and generation of superoxide in neutrophils. Leukotrienes C4, D4, and E4, which are released from the lung tissue of asthmatic subjects exposed to specific allergens, seem to play a pathophysiological role in immediate hypersensitivity reactions. These leukotrienes, as well as leukotriene B4, have pro-inflammatory effects.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Samuelsson, B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 May 6;220(4597):568-75.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6301011" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Peptide synthesis can be used for elucidating the roles of secondary structures in the specificity of hormones, antigens, and toxins. Intermediate sized peptides with these activities assume amphiphilic secondary structures in the presence of membranes. When models are designed to optimize the amphiphilicity of the secondary structure, stronger interactions can be observed with the synthetic peptides than with the naturally occurring analogs.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kaiser, E T -- Kezdy, F J -- HL-18577/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 Jan 20;223(4633):249-55.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6322295" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Fourier transform mass spectrometry will play an important role in the future because of its unique combination of high mass resolution, high upper mass limit, and multichannel advantage. These features have already found application in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, multiphoton ionization, laser desorption, and secondary ion mass spectrometry. However, its most notable feature is the ability to store ions. This characteristic, when combined with the others, will allow expeditious study of the interaction of gas-phase ions with both photons (photodissociation) and neutral molecules, and the convenient application of this fundamental information for chemical analysis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gross, M L -- Rempel, D L -- 2-8423576/PHS HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 Oct 19;226(4672):261-8.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6385250" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: High-resolution carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of enzyme-inhibitor and enzyme-substrate complexes provide detailed structural and stereochemical information on the mechanism of enzyme action. The proteases trypsin and papain are shown to form tetrahedrally coordinated complexes and acyl derivatives with a variety of compounds artificially enriched at the site or sites of interest. These results are compared with the structural information derived from x-ray diffraction. Detailed NMR studies have provided a clearer picture of the ionization state of the residues participating in enzyme-catalyzed processes than other more classical techniques. The dynamics of enzymic catalysis can be observed at sub-zero temperatures by a combination of cryoenzymology and carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy. With these powerful techniques, transient, covalently bound intermediates in enzyme-catalyzed reactions can be detected and their structures rigorously assigned.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mackenzie, N E -- Malthouse, J P -- Scott, A I -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 Aug 31;225(4665):883-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6433481" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The splicing of messenger RNA precursors in vitro proceeds through an intermediate that has the 5' end of the intervening sequence joined to a site near the 3' splice site. This lariat structure, which has been characterized for an adenovirus 2 major late transcript, has a branch point, with 2'-5' and 3'-5' phosphodiester bonds emanating from a single adenosine residue. The excised intervening sequence retains the branch site and terminates in a guanosine residue with a 3' hydroxyl group. The phosphate group at the splice junction between the two exons originates from the 3' splice site at the precursor.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Padgett, R A -- Konarska, M M -- Grabowski, P J -- Hardy, S F -- Sharp, P A -- P01-CA14051/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01-CA26717/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01-GM32467/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 Aug 31;225(4665):898-903.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6206566" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The mechanism of lipid peroxidation and the manner in which antioxidants function is reviewed. beta-Carotene is a purported anticancer agent, which is believed by some to have antioxidant action of a radical-trapping type. However, definitive experimental support for such action has been lacking. New experiments in vitro show that beta-carotene belongs to a previously unknown class of biological antioxidants. Specifically, it exhibits good radical-trapping antioxidant behavior only at partial pressures of oxygen significantly less than 150 torr, the pressure of oxygen in normal air. Such low oxygen partial pressures are found in most tissues under physiological conditions. At higher oxygen pressures, beta-carotene loses its antioxidant activity and shows an autocatalytic, prooxidant effect, particularly at relatively high concentrations. Similar oxygen-pressure-dependent behavior may be shown by other compounds containing many conjugated double bonds.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Burton, G W -- Ingold, K U -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 May 11;224(4649):569-73.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6710156" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Aplysiatoxin and debromoaplysiatoxin, which are isolated from the seaweed, Lyngbya gracilis, differ in their chemical structure only by the presence or absence of a bromine residue in the hydrophilic region. The function and the structure-activity relation of the hydrophilic region are not known. Aplysiatoxin increased malignant transformation, stimulated DNA synthesis, and inhibited the binding of phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate and epidermal growth factor to cell receptors. Debromoaplysiatoxin inhibited the binding of these two substances as strongly as aplysiatoxin but did not increase malignant transformation or stimulate DNA synthesis. These results indicate that a slight change in the chemical structure of the hydrophilic region of aplysiatoxin affects its abilities to increase cell transformation and stimulate DNA synthesis and that the abilities of the tumor promoters to inhibit the binding of phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate and epidermal growth factor are dissociable from their abilities to increase cell transformation and stimulate DNA synthesis under some circumstances.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shimomura, K -- Mullinix, M G -- Kakunaga, T -- Fujiki, H -- Sugimura, T -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Dec 16;222(4629):1242-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6316505" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

The principal features of the x-ray crystallographic analysis are reproduced, and the amplitudes of atomic displacements appear to be determined by the degree of exposure of the atoms. An analysis of the hydrogen bonds shows a correlation between the average length of a bond and the fluctuation in that length and reveals a rocking motion of bases in Watson-Crick guanine X cytosine base pairs. The in-plane motions of the bases are generally of larger amplitude than the out-of-plane motions, and there are correlations in the motions of adjacent bases.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Harvey, S C -- Prabhakaran, M -- Mao, B -- McCammon, J A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 Mar 16;223(4641):1189-91.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6560785" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

Drugs that wind around the helix and reside within one of the grooves of DNA have perhaps the greatest chance of recognizing sequence-dependent features of DNA. The antitumor antibiotic CC-1065 covalently binds through N-3 of adenine and resides within the minor groove of DNA.

    Description: By recombinant DNA techniques, a disulfide bond was introduced at a specific site in T4 lysozyme, a disulfide-free enzyme. This derivative retained full enzymatic activity and was more stable toward thermal inactivation than the wild-type protein. The derivative, T4 lysozyme (Ile3----Cys), was prepared by substituting a Cys codon for an Ile codon at position 3 in the cloned lysozyme gene by means of oligonucleotide-dependent, site-directed mutagenesis. The new gene was expressed in Escherichia coli under control of the (trp-lac) hybrid tac promoter, and the protein was purified. Mild oxidation generated a disulfide bond between the new Cys3 and Cys97, one of the two unpaired cysteines of the native molecule. Oxidized T4 lysozyme (Ile3----Cys) exhibited specific activity identical to that of the wild-type enzyme when measured at 20 degrees C in a cell-clearing assay. The cross-linked protein was more stable than the wild type during incubation at elevated temperatures as determined by recovered enzymatic activity at 20 degrees C.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Perry, L J -- Wetzel, R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 Nov 2;226(4674):555-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6387910" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The structures of three proteins that regulate gene expression have been determined recently and suggest how these proteins may bind to their specific recognition sites on the DNA. One protein (Cro) is a repressor of gene expression, the second (CAP) usually stimulates gene expression, and the third (lambda repressor) can act as either a repressor or an activator. The three proteins contain a substructure consisting of two consecutive alpha helices that is virtually identical in each case. Structural and amino acid sequence comparisons suggest that this bihelical fold occurs in a number of proteins that regulate gene expression, and is an intrinsic part of the DNA-protein recognition event. The modes of repression and activation by Cro and lambda repressor are understood reasonably well, but the mode of action of CAP is still unclear.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Takeda, Y -- Ohlendorf, D H -- Anderson, W F -- Matthews, B W -- GM20066/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM28138/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM30894/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Sep 9;221(4615):1020-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6308768" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The effect of a partial pressure of nitrogen of 50 atmospheres (5065 kilopascals ) on the hydrogen evolution reaction of nitrogenase has been investigated. Evolution of hydrogen was not blocked completely by 50 atmospheres of nitrogen in any of four experiments; rather, 27.3 +/- 2.4 percent of the total electron flux through nitrogenase was directed toward production of hydrogen. The ratio of hydrogen evolved to nitrogen fixed was close to 1:1, which implies that hydrogen evolution is obligatory in the fixation of molecular nitrogen by nitrogenase.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Simpson, F B -- Burris, R H -- AI-00848/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 Jun 8;224(4653):1095-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6585956" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: In concentrates of water produced in a laboratory simulation of a drinking water treatment process, direct-acting, nonvolatile mutagens were readily detected by means of the Ames Salmonella test. The mutagens were shown to be produced by the chlorination process. Treatment of the water with chloramine resulted in less mutagenic activity than treatment with free chlorine. Dechlorination of drinking water with sulfite sharply reduced the mutagenic activity. Treatment with sulfur dioxide is proposed as an effective, inexpensive method of reducing the direct-acting mutagenic activity of drinking water and of aqueous industrial effluents.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Cheh, A M -- Skochdopole, J -- Koski, P -- Cole, L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1980 Jan 4;207(4426):90-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6985746" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

Highly fluorescent boronic acid dervatives, FluoroBoras, are solubilized with a physiologically compatible carrier buffer containing a receptor group for boronate adduct formation. The system can be used to stain living cells. In another variation of the Boradeption concept, an insoluble reporter molecule containing a boronate receptor is solubilized with a carrier buffer containing a boronic acid functional group. The boronate-receptor complexes, which are in dynamic equilibrium, can be designed as vital stains and reagents for a variety of biological and medical applications.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gallop, P M -- Paz, M A -- Henson, E -- AG-00376-07/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- HL-20764-04A1/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1982 Jul 9;217(4555):166-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6178158" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The scrapie agent causes a degenerative nervous system disease in sheep and goats. Studies with extensively purified preparations demonstrated that the agent contains a protein that is required for infectivity. Chemical modification of the scrapie agent by diethyl pyrocarbonate reduced the titer 1000-fold. Exposure of the inactivated agent to hydroxylamine, a strong nucleophile, resulted in complete restoration of infectivity. Presumably, nucleophilic residues within a scrapie agent protein undergo carbethoxylation on reaction with diethyl pyrocarbonate, and subsequent addition of hydroxylamine displaces these carbethoxy groups.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉McKinley, M P -- Masiarz, F R -- Prusiner, S B -- NS14069/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1981 Dec 11;214(4526):1259-61.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6795721" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The incubation of lens proteins with reducing sugars leads to the formation of fluorescent yellow pigments and cross-like similar to those reported in aging and cataractous human lenses. Called nonenzymatic browning or the Maillard reaction, this aging process also occurs in stored foods. Reducing sugars condense with the free amino group of proteins, then rearrange and dehydrate to form unsaturated pigments and cross-linked products. Although most proteins in living systems turn over with sufficient rapidity to avoid nonenzymatic browning, some, such as lens crystallins and skin collagen, are exceptionally long-lived and may be vulnerable.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Monnier, V M -- Cerami, A -- AM 19655/AM/NIADDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1981 Jan 30;211(4481):491-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6779377" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Great advances have been made in fundamental scientific research in recent years. The new knowledge gathered, in addition to deepening our understanding of the physical universe, contributes a range of abilities and opportunities to society that would not otherwise be available. Much research that may be called applied because it addresses needs of society is quite fundamental in character, and support of such research at the National Science Foundation is to be handled in tandem by the research directorates. Other areas that require a refocusing of support are engineering science and education, at all levels, in science and engineering. Increasing our strength in these areas is essential to achieve our national economic, social, and political goals. Steps are being taken by the National Science Foundation to make its structure better able to deal with engineering and applied research and to provide greater mutual reinforcement between applied and basic research.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Slaughter, J B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1981 Mar 13;211(4487):1131-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7466384" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Resonance Raman spectra of photolyzed carbonmonoxyhemoglobin obtained with 10-nanosecond pulses are compared with the spectra of photolyzed carbonmonoxyhemoglobin stabilized at 80 K. In comparing the deoxy with the photodissociated species, the changes in the Raman spectra are the same for these two experimental regimes. These results show that at ambient and cryogenic temperatures the heme pocket in liganded hemoglobin is significantly different from that of deoxyhemoglobin. It is concluded that measurements of the properties of intermediate species from photodissociated hemoglobin stabilized at low temperatures can be used to probe the short-lived metastable forms of hemoglobin present after photodissociation under biologically relevant solution conditions.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ondrias, M R -- Friedman, J M -- Rousseau, D L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 May 6;220(4597):615-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6836305" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Polypeptide analogs of the known members of the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) family were synthesized and tested in vitro and in vivo for enhanced potency or competitive antagonism. Predictive methods and physicochemical measurements had suggested an internal secondary alpha-helical conformation spanning about 25 residues for at least three members of the CRF family. Maximization of alpha-helix-forming potential by amino acid substitutions from the native known sequences (rat/human and ovine CRF, sauvagine, and carp and sucker urotensin 1) led to the synthesis of an analog that was found to be more than twice as potent as either of the parent peptides in vitro. In contrast, certain amino-terminally shortened fragments, such as alpha-helical CRF or ovine CRF residues 8 to 41, 9 to 41, and 10 to 41, were found to be competitive inhibitors in vitro. Selected antagonists were examined and also found to be active in vivo.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rivier, J -- Rivier, C -- Vale, W -- AA03504/AA/NIAAA NIH HHS/ -- AM20917/AM/NIADDK NIH HHS/ -- AM26741/AM/NIADDK NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 May 25;224(4651):889-91.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6326264" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: Summary The bone resorptive factor and amphipathic antigen (AcA) previously identified by us in preparations fromActinomyces viscosus have been partially purified, characterized chemically, and compared. They elute at the same location on chromatography with Ac 22. The fatty acid composition of AcA and the bone resorptive factor is the same. Some differences in carbohydrate composition are observed. TheActinomyces factor does not affect calcium influx or cyclic AMP in isolated bone cells. Therefore it is concluded that AcA stimulates resorption either by gaining entrance into bone cells or by way of a yet undetermined second messenger.

    Notes: Metallurgical observations of phenomena which influence the clinically successful performance of permanent implants and implant materials are reported. The effect of casting voids in cast cobalt chromium femoral stems of total hip replacements is discussed first. Pitting corrosion occurred in a retrieved stainless-steel implant type AISI 316 containing 2.7% Mo. The fractographic pattern of this device retrieved for fatigue failure shows typical characteristics of corrosion-enhanced fatigue.

    Notes: The outer and inner surfaces of six commercial endotracheal tube cuffs were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray analysis. Lateral tracheal wall pressure (LWP) was measured at various steps of cuff inflation using a mock-trachea system. The surface characteristics of the cuffs were found to vary widely. The surface of the Lanz cuff was relatively smooth but showed a regular array of circular depressions 0.8 μm in diameter. Uniform spheres also 0.8 μm in diameter were distributed through the thickness of the membrane. The American Hi-Lo cuff surface was also relatively smooth but was covered widely with flakes of material which x-ray showed to be a clay-like substance containing aluminum, silica, and potassium. The Harlake cuff was covered widely with roughly spherical, 5-μm-diam particles, probably starch granules. The membrane itself was smooth even at 3,000X. The Foregger cuff had a rough surface and was covered with the same clay-like particles seen on the American cuff. The inner surface with irregular, uneven areas were surrounded by fissures. The Rusch Armored tube cuff was completely covered by a continuous 2-μm-thick chlorinated coating. The surface was highly convoluted and irregular. The three cuff membranes showing relatively smooth surfaces, Lanz, American and Harlake, also produced relatively low LWP at various points of cuff inflation. While we have no data to indicate that cuff surface smoothness correlates with tracheal morbidity, it would seem prudent to select cuffs that produce low LWP's with smooth surfaces for clinical use.

    Notes: Bioglass, which has a composition of sodium carbonate, calcium carbonate, phosphorous pentoxide and silica, has been shown to bond to living bone. This ability is dependent on controlled surface reactions. Investigators with 45S5 bioglass have demonstrated that the formation of a SiO2-rich layer and a calcium phosphate film on its surface in an aqueous environment is associated with the film bonding the bioglass to bone. The objects of this research were: 1To study SiO2 dependence on the formation of a silica-rich layer and calcium phosphate films on a bioglass surface in a simulated physiological solution, and2To establish a correlation between in vitro surface reactions and in vivo bonding ability.It was discovered that three types of reactions occur in a simulated physiological solution depending on bioglass composition: 1A calcium phosphate film and SiO2-rich layer form simultaneously and the reaction rate is fast for bioglasses which have a lower content of SiO2 (∼46 mol% SiO2).2A SiO2-rich layer forms first and a calcium phosphate film develops later between the aqueous environment and the SiO2-rich layer for bioglasses whose SiO2 content is between 46-55 mol %.3A calcium phosphate film does not form for glasses whose SiO2 content is more than 60 mol %.

    Notes: Methods by which in vitro heterogeneous phase degradation rates of the poly(n-alkyl α-cyanoacrylates) have been directly obtained are described. The data indicate that the rates of degradation in aqueous buffer solutions depend not only upon pH of the medium and length of the monomer alkyl side chain, but also critically upon polymer particle specific surface, particle size, polymer molecular weight, and molecular weight distribution. A modification of the currently held theory of degradation of these polymers is required, and postulated.

    Notes: Three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) has been used to determine the implant-bone interface characteristics of bioglass dental implants. The results of the FEA were verified by comparison with the results of mechanical testing performed on animal implant specimens. The results of the study showed that the assumption of a discontinuous change of elastic properties at the bone-implant interface was a poor assumption for the bioglass implants. Interface elastic moduli of 354.0, 155.0, and 47.0 MPa for conditions of 25, 50, and 100% tissue attachment were determined for the bioglass implants.

    Notes: Contact angle studies have been carried out on plasma protein layers adsorbed on selected polymer surfaces under buffered saline at 37°, in an attempt to demonstrate directly a recent suggestion that the interfacial free energy between such protein layers and surrounding liquid phase should be zero at equilibrium. Although an initial contact angle of 180° was always obtained, the angle decayed slowly to a stationary value which varied for any one drop on each polymer surface. The stationary values could be reasonably correlated with the reversible work of adhesion predicted for each polymer/protein combination, suggesting that protein desorption from the solid surface is a dominant event in the contact angle decay process. It is concluded that the data bear more relevance to the protein layer/polymer interface than to the protein layer/solution interface, and that the contact angle technique is not a suitable technique for studying the latter on biomaterials.

    Notes: Distributions of Ca-to-Ca distances have been obtained from the crystal structure of hydroxyapatite for all biologically significant planes. Most frequently, calcium ions are separated by about 4, 6.3, 7.9, and 9.0 to 9.6 Å. Frequent occurrence of distances at 10.4, 11.8, and 12.6 Å result from a Ca ion in one repeating unit being paired with a Ca in another unit cell.

    Notes: Individuals who suffer extensive loss of skin, commonly in fires, are acutely ill, in danger of succumbing either to massive infection or to severe fluid loss. Patients who survive these early threats must often cope with problems of rehabilitation arising from deep, disfiguring scars and crippling contractures. In this report we describe the physiocochemical, biochemical, and mechanical considerations that form the basis for two-stage design of a membrane useful as an experimental wound closure. Stage 1 of the design, applicable to short-term acute use, calls for a membrane which displaces efficiently air pockets from a carefully prepared woundbed, free of weak boundary layers, and maintains the moisture flux through the wound at an optimal level. Optimization of the surface energy modulus of elasticity, energy to fracture and moisture permeability of the membrane are among the essential attributes of Stage 1 design. Stage 2 of the design, applicable to long-term, chronic use, focuses on a nonantigenic membrane which performs as a biodegradable template for synthesis of neodermal tissue. A survey of candidate materials suggests reasons for selection of a porous, crosslinked collagen - glycosaminoglycan coprecipitate as the chemical basis of an evolving design which was initiated 10 years ago. Over the past several years a set of membranes has been iteratively designed on this basis and has been used to cover satisfactorily large experimental fullthickness skin wounds in guinea pigs. Such membranes have effectively protected these wounds from infection and fluid loss for over 25 days without rejection and without requiring change or other invasive manipulation. When appropriately designed for the purpose, the membranes have also strongly retarded wound contraction and have become replaced by newly synthesized, stable connective tissue. Several rules relating the molecular structure and morphology of these membranes to cellular response of adjacent tissue have also been derived. This report is the first in a series which details the methodology of preparation and the record of performance.

    Notes: Several kinds of polyamide microcapsules containing mammalian hemolysate were prepared by making use of the interfacial polycondensation reaction between diamines and terephthaloyl dichloride and their blood compatibility in terms of platelet adhesion was examined aiming at their ultimate clinical use as artificial red blood cells. It was found that rabbit platelets adhere onto the hemolysate-loaded microcapsules in the presence of the plasma, while no platelet adhesion takes place in the absence of the plasma. This was interpreted as indicating an important role of plasma components in platelet adhesion. Moreover, platelet adhesion was observed to be facilitated by negative charges on the surface of the hemolysate-loaded microcapsules; the more negatively the surface was charged, the more easily the platelets adhered onto the surface. Finally, the present method of assessing platelet adhesion suggested the possibility of its use for the kinetic study of platelet adhesion since it allowed us to make numerical evaluation of platelet adhesion as a function of time.

    Notes: The thrombogenicity of five suture materials - polypropylene (Prolene), polyester (Mersilene), polyglactin 910 (Vicryl), nylon (Ethilon), and silk - was examined in vivo by scanning electron microscopy. The most blood-compatible material appeared to be Prolene. A rather satisfactory antithrombogenciity was shown by Mersilene, in comparison with which Ethilon and Vicryl provided less thromboresistance. The possible connection between the chemical changes which occur during the hydrolysis of Vicryl and its blood compatibility is discussed. Of the tested materials, silk proved to be the most thrombogenic. This study shows that the thrombogenicity of a suture material could be easily and conveniently tested in an experimental model by scanning electron microscopy, thus enabling the first choice of a suitable suture for the cardiovascular surgery, before one continues with other more sophisticated methods for the evaluation of thromboresistance.

    Notes: It is known that tissues surrounding the site of an implanted prosthetic alloy are exposed to increased concentrations of the metals comprising the alloy. However, the exact identity and concentration of such metallic products are usually unknown, thus limiting the possibilities for quantifying any observed toxicological response to the metals. This report describes some of the effects of increased concentrations (7.5-30 μg/ml; 1-5 × 10-4M) of cobalt (as CoCl2·6H2O) and of nickel (as NiCl2·6H2O) on the growth and morphology of cultured mouse fibroblasts. Ultrafiltration experiments indicated that much of the total Co or Ni present in cell culture medium could become bound to macromolecular serum components of the medium. Morphological changes and depressions in the cell growth rate were found to result from high concentrations (15-30 μg/ml) of either Co or Ni. However, lower concentrations of nickel may have produced some stimulation of cell growth, whereas all concentrations of Co studied were found to depress the rate of cell growth. The growth rate of actively proliferating fibroblasts was quite sensitive to variations in the concentration of either cobalt or nickel. Increased concentrations of cobalt or nickel, therefore, might also affect the normal reconstructive activity of fibroblasts in vivo.

    Notes: In vitro and in vivo experiments were performed on polyglycolic acid and plain catgut sutures to study the effects of bacteria on their rate of degradation. Experiments with Strep, mites, E. coli and Staph. albus in culture showed that the polyglycolic acid sutures degraded faster in broth controls than in a broth containing bacteria as measured by the loss in breaking strength. No difference was observed with the catgut. Polyglycolic acid sutures in subcutaneous sites in rats inoculated with Staph. albus again degrade slower than in similar wounds which were not deliberately infected. With high bacterial counts, the catgut showed the reverse trend although no differences were noted at lower counts.

    Notes: Two types of fracture toughness specimen, the tapered cleavage (TC) and single edge notch (SEN), are compared. Their reproducibility, accuracy, and ease of preparation are investigated. The fracture toughness of four types of acrylic resin, heat cured, autopolymerized, injection molded, and high impact resistant, has been determined by one or both of the above methods. High impact acrylic proved too ductile for either of the specimens to be used to assess K1c; however, these deviations from brittle behavior were revealed by the tests and some insight into impact resistance was gained. The SEN specimens proved capable of distinguishing between the fracture toughness characteristics of the four types of denture base acrylics and proved easy to fabricate. The TC specimens proved difficult to fabricate requiring specialized equipment; however, once made, the specimens revealed more of the fracture process than did the SEN specimens.

    Notes: The amount of methyl methacrylate monomer present in bone tissue immediately adjacent to implanted bone cement that has polymerized in vivo has been determined. Poly(methyl methacrylate) was implanted into the distal femoral condyle of the dog and allowed to polymerize. At various times following polymerization, samples were removed and sections adjacent to the cement were cut and subjected to homogenization followed by liquid gas chromatographic determination of the amount of methyl methacrylate monomer present. The highest concentration of methyl methacrylate monomer present in bone tissue was 0.140% in the 1000 μm of bone tissue adjacent to bone cement immediately after polymerization of the cement. The concentration was very similar (0.137%) 1 hr after cement polymerization, but dropped off rapidly following that with no free methyl methacrylate monomer present in bone tissue adjacent to cement after 4 hr following cement polymerization.

    Notes: An evaluation of the biophysical changes of methylcholanthrene induced tumor (M4) in laboratory animals receiving four different alloplastic implants was conducted. The implants are silicone, polyether urethane, poly(methyl methacrylate), and bioglass. The tumor was allowed to grow to a large size in 28 days and then removed by shelling it from the surrounding tissue. Three different analytic volumetric measurements were carried; size in cm3, volume in milliliters and weight in grams. Statistical analysis on the three different analytic measurements did not disclose any significant differences in tumor growth potential between the control and the experimental groups. We conclude that in this study we were unable to demonstrate any tumor “facilitation” effect by any of the implantable polymers used. Therefore, there is no contraindication in using the polymers to reconstruct defects produced by cancer ablative procedures.

    Notes: Thrombin adsorbed onto Cuprophane or poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) was shown to be inactive with respect to amidase activity. Desorbed thrombin from these two artificial surfaces showed only low amidase activity. However, in the presence of albumin, the surface-bound thrombin appeared to exhibit increased amidase activity. This apparent activity may be due to the action of thrombin displaced from the surfaces by albumin. Thrombin bound to Cuprophane or PVC was shown to be capable of reacting with antithrombin III (AT III) only in the presence of heparin. On the other hand, AT III bound to Cuprophane or PVC was unable to react with thrombin in either the absence or presence of heparin. Fibrin formation on or at surfaces was demonstrated by phase contrast microscopy when Cuprophane or PVC pretreated with thrombin and carefully rinsed was incubated in a fibrinogen solution. This fibrin formation is time dependent and likely is the result of direct interaction of adsorbed thrombin with fibrinogen in solution. Glass, Cuprophane, and PVC pretreated with thrombin were shown to attract more platelets than respective untreated surfaces. The enhancing effect of adsorbed thrombin on platelet adhesion was similar to the enhancing effect of adsorbed fibrinogen. Thrombin adsorbed onto PVC and crosslinked by glutaraldehyde treatment was shown to be antigenically active with a 125I-labeled monospecific antithrombin IgG produced in rabbits. No other plasma proteins adsorbed singly or from plasma or serum onto PVC reacted significantly with the antithrombin IgG preparation. The possible significance of these observations is discussed.

    Notes: The effect of thermal coefficient of expansion (α) mismatch on porcelain-metal bonding is frequently referred to in the dental literature. Thermally induced stresses may develop at metal-porcelain system interfaces due to differences in the coefficients of thermal expansion of the porcelains, metals, and metal oxides. The objective of this research is to characterize alloy and porcelain expansion behavior as a first step in developing a more specific definition of thermal compatibility. It is clear from comparisons of porcelain data and alloy data that the porcelain has expansion characteristics which are quite different from those of the alloys. The overall differences in values between these alloys and porcelains constitute a mismatch. First run dilatometric heating measurements for porcelain yield large differences between ΔL/L and α values as compared to cooling measurements. For a comparison of alloy and porcelain expansion characteristics, data should be obtained at several temperatures up to the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the porcelain.

    Notes: This short report concentrates on a close look at the immunological status of experimental animals which were implanted with a known dose of tumor and polymer implant. The implanted polymers used represented the most common biocompatible materials employed in current surgery. The immunological studies all were done in vitro on the cellular level. The studies suggested that there is a noticeable change of the immune system when inorganic biocompatible polymers are used in experimental animals.

    Notes: The linear, crosslinked amylose-succinate hemostatic agent, IP760, has been evaluated for its interaction with aminoglycosidic antibiotics. The highly structured polymer appears to act as a cationic exchange resin which binds the basic aminoglycosides. Binding of these agents to IP760 is reversed by increased pH and/or increased ionic strength. Dialysis experiments demonstrated that 85 and 90% of the bound gentamicin was released at pH 7.5 and 8.0, respectively, over a period of 36 hr. Formation of the IP760-antibiotic complexes suggests potential medicinal use for hemostasis and slow release of the antibiotic for prophylaxis of postsurgical contamination or infection.

    Notes: A series of membranes was prepared by air-drying the thin layers of N-acyl- and N-arylidene-chitosan gels. Their flow rates of water and permeabilities of various compounds were examined. N-Acylchitosan membranes were stable in both dilute acid and alkali, but N-arylidene-chitosan membranes were unstable in dilute acid. N-Acetylchitosan membranes were stable in formic acid at room temperature for up to 7 hr. The flow rates of water through N-acetylchitosan membranes were 10.0-23.6 × 10-3 ml/cm2 min under a pressure of 3 kg/cm2, and were unchanged by the membrane thickness (12-60 μm). The increase of carbon numbers for N-acyl groups caused a slight decrease in the flow rates, and the flow rates were decreased by partial O-acetylation of N-acetylchitosan membranes. The flow rate of water through chitosan membranes (thickness 30-35 μm) was 7.1 × 10-4 ml/cm2 min, which was decreased by an increase in the membranes thickness. Low-molecular-weight compounds (MW 〈 2900) passed through these membranes, but high molecular-weight compounds (MW 〉 13,000) did not pass through.

    Notes: Kinetics of platelet adhesion from suspension to various substrates leads to Langmuir isotherm types of curves, both for suspensions in which the platelets were isolated by means of gel filtration as well as by centrifuging and washing. The level of platelet adhesion increases with increasing surface tension of the substrate. These results cannot be explained on the basis of the theoretical transport model of Ruckenstein et al. The plot of the platelet adhesion at equilibrium vs. γsv brings the observations in yet closer agreement with thermodynamic predictions based on free energy calculations than was found previously for the adhesion of platelets after short contact times between platelet suspension and substrate.

    Notes: Several methods are compared for preparing collagen-glycosaminoglycan (GAG) membranes of high or low porosity. Collagen-GAG membranes have been used to cover satisfactorily large experimental full-thickness skin wounds in guinea pigs over the past few years. Methods studies as means for controlling pore size are confined to purely physical processes which do not require use of additives or chemical reagents to form the porous membrane. We find that membranes, initially swollen in distilled water or saline, shrink linearly to no less than 94% of original dimension after freeze drying; to 75% after critical point drying (from CO2, following water-ethanol exchange); and to 41% of original dimension following air drying from the swollen state. Scanning electron microscopic study of the pore structure resulting from each drying procedure confirms our major conclusion: A carefully designed freeze drying process, two variants of which are described in detail, yields membranes with the highest mean pore size, as measured by quantitative stereological procedures. Critical point drying gave significantly more shrinkage and a lower mean pore size than either one of the two freeze drying procedures used.

    Notes: Repair or replacement of the damaged anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a significant clinical problem. A design utilizing ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) was developed and marketed by an orthopaedic device manufacturer. Mechanical failure rates of greater than 10%/year postoperatively raised the issue of the adequacy of UHMWPE in that design. A study has been made to estimate the forces in the human anterior cruciate ligament for young, middle age, and older patients and to thus derive the minimum materials requirements for a now withdrawn prosthetic anterior cruciate ligament (PACL) design. It is concluded that UHMWPE does not possess adequate yield, creep, or fatigue properties to meet the design. Furthermore, consideration of the varying requirements on the PACL, due to differences in age and activity levels of patients, suggest that a band-type design offers a better possibility of achieving adequate materials performance in the ACL prosthetic replacement.

    Notes: The mechanical properties of the hydrogel membrane of poly(methyl methacrylate-N-vinylpyrrolidone) were studied for the purpose of making soft contact lenses for extended wear. The dependence of tensile fracture energy, flexibility, and recovery from deformation on the water content and thickness of the hydrogel membrane was studied. Reducing the thickness of a lens was found to exert a more advantageous effect than increasing its water content on maximizing the tensile fracture energy under the condition of an adequate supply of oxygen to the cornea through the contact lens. As long as its water content is controlled between 63 and 78%, the contact lens made of poly(methyl methacrylate-N-vinylpyrrolidone) has the flexibility on the same order as that of conventional soft contact lenses of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate). The rate of recovery from deformation increases with water content, and the residual elongation is negligible in the range of water content over about 70%. It is concluded that practical requirements for use of these contact lenses, determined by these three mechanical properties, can be satisfied at the same time if the water content of the contact lens is adjusted at about 70%.

    Notes: A study was conducted which examined the influence of electropolishing on the corrosion resistance of a cold rolled 316L stainless steel. Test specimens were surface prepared to a final mechanical finish of wetted 600 grit SiC paper, prior to electropolishing. An o—H3PO4/Glycerol/H2O electropolishing solution was employed for times of 15, 20, and 25 min. Control specimens were surface prepared only to the final mechanical finish. Anodic polarization tests were performed in a deaerated Ringer's solution (37°C) which was acidified to pH 1, with HCl. The electropolished specimens demonstrated increased corrosion resistance, when compared to the control specimens. This was evidenced for the former by more anodic corrosion and breakdown potentials, and the absence of a dissolution peak which was observed for the control specimens at the initial polarization potentials. Surface hardness measurements indicated that this increase in corrosion resistance was produced, in part, by the removal of the cold worked surface layer produced by the mechanical finish. In terms of increasing corrosion resistance, no optimum electropolishing time was found within the 15-25 min treatment period.

    Notes: When ground to a suitable form, flexural strength of single crystal alumina (Al2O3) decreases to as low as one third the strength of the intact crystal. This flexural strength decrease is, however, recovered by chemical etching at a high temperature to eliminate surface defects caused by grinding. By using this strength recovery treatment, various types of single crystal implants with fine structure were able to be designed. Four kinds of single crystal bone screws and single crystal dental implants of screw and anchor type were designed. Flexural strength and impact strength of the implants were measured.

    Notes: The reactions of covalently immobilized heparin, abbreviated as I-Hep, with thrombin or Factor Xa were investigated both in the presence and absence of antithrombin III, AT III. Although I-Hep was able to bind to thrombin, the complex formation of thrombin and I-Hep did not affect the thrombin activity when measured by using a small artificial substrate, a peptide-MCA. Similarly, Factor Xa bound to I-Hep, but the activity of Factor Xa was not decreased in the absence of AT III, when a peptide-MCA was used for Factor Xa assay. Thrombin bound to I-Hep in much larger amounts than Factor Xa. Thrombin and Factor Xa were instantaneously inhibited by AT III in the presence of soluble heparin. However, when I-Hep was used instead of soluble heparin, instantaneous inhibition was not observed. When a natural, high-molecular-weight substrate was used for assay, the results were dependent on the structure of the immobilization carrier. Heparin immobilized on Sepharose 4B or Poly HEMA showed considerable prolongation of plasma recalcification time. However, heparin immobilized on the surface of PVA fiber did not prolong plasma recalcification time.

This model permits sequential microscopic observations of the microvascular system of dental pulp before and after application of pulp capping agents, cementing agents, or cavity liners. The use of this experimental model provides useful information related to the tolerability of dental pulp to various biomaterials used in dentistry. Furthermore, this model serves as a useful supplement to more traditional long term methods for evaluating the biocompatability of dental materials.

    Notes: A direct physicochemical bond between alkali-rich bioglass or glass ceramic (45 S 5 A and B, Hench) or alkali-poor glass ceramic (KG S, Brömer) and bone has been well documented. Since long-term studies have revealed the interface to be subjected to remodeling of the bone and to increased focal disintegration of the implant, glass ceramics of reduced solubility have been developed by lowering the Na2O content and adding Al2O3, Ta2O5, TiO2, and Sb2O3. Implants of glass ceramic KG S and different compositions with reduced solubility have been studied histologically 14, 29, or 30, 60, 119, and 245 days after implantation in the femur of male Sprague-Dawley rats. Implants of KG S are anchored at an interface with bone connection, which is known to provide for application of considerable shear and tensile strengths; whereas, at the interface of ceramics of reduced solubility, soft tissue, chondroid and osteoid are mainly observed. The dynamics of the events at the interface indicate a disturbance of the transformation of chondroid cells into osteoblasts and of the mineralization of osteold. This disturbance of pathophysiologic processes during bone healing or bone regeneration is discussed.

    Notes: Interfaces were formed between acrylic bone cement and three commonly used surgical alloys (316L SS, Co—Cr—Mo, and Ti—6A1—4V), in an attempt to further define cementation parameters of acrylic bone cement for use in orthopaedic surgery. Metal/cement interfaces were made at three distinct times during the setting cycle of the cement and were cured for 1 hr, 1 day, and 1 week. The metals were prepared with roughly polished or finely polished prepassivated surfaces. Tensile bond strengths and residual cement on metal coverage data indicated that, for each metal system, interfaces created prior to and at the onset of the dough stage formed superior interfaces for implanation compared to those formed late in the dough stage. Furthermore, electropolishing plus prepassivation offered a more efficient bonding surface than mechanical polishing.

    Notes: The effect of 16 pure metals on the in vitro growth of a form of dental caries producing Streptococcus mutans was studied under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Cobalt and copper were consistently observed to be inhibitory. With less consistency nickel, titanium, iron, and vanadium also exhibited ability to inhibit growth of the organism. Bacteriostasis apparently is contingent upon the presence of a corrosion process. The bacteriostatic agent is of uncertain identity and could be a corrosion product or a process secondary to the occurrence of corrosion. Concentrations of metals after 6 days of electrochemical dissolution in the growth medium were measured via electron microprobe analysis and compared with the amount of inhibition which resulted. Threshold concentrations above which growth did not occur were identified. As measured by threshold concentrations, wide variability between metals exists in the ability to inhibit the growth, with cobalt being particularly effective at small concentrations. This implies a sensitivity on the part of the organism that is different for different metals. The threshold concentration varied between aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Streptococcus mutans appeared more resistant to the effects of the metals under anaerobic conditions even though little difference in the amount of corrosion was detected.

    Notes: Graft copolymer systems have frequently been suggested for biomedical applications. Since the properties of polymers are altered by the grafting process, thorough characterization is critical, particularly for the surface region of these copolymers. This review briefly discusses the grafting process and then describes characterization procedures for graft copolymers. Gravimetric characterization, thermodynamic measurements, surface chemistry analysis, and surface topographical analysis are considered in detail. Also, the relevance of materials characterization for predicting and understanding the biocompatibility response is discussed. Most of the analytical techniques described are applicable to all biomaterials and should be considered for the routine characterization of materials which will be interfaced with biological systems.

    Notes: Failure behavior of a polyolefin elastomer which is a candidate material for blood pump applications has been studied under uniaxial and equibiaxial test conditions. Both static and dynamic (fatigue) testing were performed to study four aspects of material failure behavior as suggested by a cumulative damage failure model. Results from testing a standard formulation butyl rubber are presented for comparison. Our results show that the uniaxial failure behavior under static loads for the butyl rubber is superior to that of the polyolefin rubber at high loads but that the polyolefin is superior at low loads. Under fatigue loading conditions, the failure times for both rubbers decrease with increasing test frequency. The observed frequency dependence lies between that predicted by the cumulative damage model and that predicted by a cycle dependent fatigue model. The distribution of failure times for the polyolefin rubber is broader than that for the butyl rubber. For both uniaxial and equibiaxial testing, the distribution of failure times changes in going from the static testing to dynamic testing. This is true for both rubbers.

    Notes: In order to investigate whether the immune system is involved in the degradation of hydroxylapatite as implant material the adsorption behavior of several serum proteins to hydroxylapatite was studied and compared with the adsorption to other calcium phosphate compounds (Ca3(PO4)2, CaHPO4), calcium carbonate, aluminium oxide, and zinc oxide. It was found that complement factors, C4 and C3, and α2-HS-glycoprotein adsorbed to the calcium phosphate compounds, but not to the other materials. IgG and albumin were adsorbed to all investigated compounds. These results suggest that the complement factors are directly adsorbed on the surface of the calcium phosphate compounds. Therefore, the activation of complement, if any, proceeds by the classical pathway. The binding of complement factors to the calcium phosphate salts investigated points to a more specific involvement of the immunosystem in the degradation process of calcium phosphate implants.

    Notes: Pyrophosphate labeled with 99Tc was evaluated as an indicator of the calcification which occurs after implantation of polymeric materials in rats. Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), both porous and homogeneous, had been implanted. 99Tc pyrophosphate was applied intravenously to rats in intervals from 14 days to 15 months. Scintigraphy, x-ray examination, and histology were carried out. The ratio of specific activity in the capsule around the implant to specific activity in the reference tissue was determined. The cumulation of activity was parallel with the development of calcification as revealed by histology. The method can be used not only in the screening test of new polymeric materials, but also in a quantitative determination of the degree of calcification in general.

    Notes: Dense (97-99.9%) hydroxylapatite ceramics were implanted in muscle and bone tissue of rats. The aim of this study was to compare apatite implant material made of commercially available powder with laboratory powder prepared in a painstaking manner. Biocompatibility, biostability, and adherence to bone were evaluated. In muscle tissue the implants were found to be encapsulated with a very thin connective tissue layer. Implantation in excavated bone tissue resulted with new bone directly deposited against the implant surface, irrespective of the type of hydroxylapatite used. When the implants were protruding from the bone surface, bone appeared to grow up to the edge of the protruding part of the implant. A very strong bonding developed; push-out tests indicated that the bone fractured but never at the interface. Histologic studies proved that a sleeve of newly formed bone closely encased the implant, regardless of shape. It was concluded that dense apatite ceramics are fully compatible with the tibia of the rat and that no degradation of the implant material occurred for intervals of up to 6 months after implantation. The very strong bonding without mechanical retention indicated continuity between artificial hydroxylapatite and natural bone. No difference was found between the biological behavior of the hydroxylapatites prepared from commercial or laboratory starting powders.

    Notes: Polymer-coated, activated charcoal granules have found considerable use for the direct detoxification of blood in cases of uraemia and drug overdose. Although polymer coating materials are presently selected for their biocompatibility, more selective polymers could be used to increase the adsorption capacity for specific drugs and toxins. To gain an understanding of the fundamental factors influencing these adsorbent systems, we have investigated a possible selective coating material, nylon 6 and studied its influence on adsorption rates of simple model compounds when applied as a thin coat to activated charcoal granules. Thermodynamic studies have shown that phenolic compounds interact with the polymer by a hydrogen bonding mechanism, whereas nonphenolic compounds probably bind less strongly due to Van der Waals type interactions. Kinetic studies have shown that the selectivity of charcoal granules for phenolic compounds was increased by coating the granules with a thin layer of nylon 6. The increase in selectivity is probably a result of the different binding mechanism between solute and the polymer. These studies have shown that possible selective coatings may be evaluated more effectively on the basis of simple preliminary drug-plastics interaction studies.

    Notes: Under certain circumstances, e.g., when treating “denture sore mouth” or after the provision of immediate dentures, dentures may be lined with soft rubberlike materials which have Young's moduli within the range ≃105 N m-2. Measurement of the compression modulus Ec of such soft liners is described and Gent and Lindley's method of calculating Young's modulus E was evaluated. It was established that the Young's modulus may be calculated using: Ec = E(1 + 2kS2), where k = 1 for soft rubbers, and for disks S is a shape factor and = radius/2 × thickness. It is also shown that Young's modulus is a linear function of log(rate of strain) for both tension and compression measurements. When gellation has occurred subsequent to mixing there is an increase in Young's modulus due to loss of ethanol. When immersed in brine the elastic modulus remains approximately constant from a day to a week or longer.

    Notes: A highly sensitive method to localize aluminum oxide or polyethylene wear particles in biological tissues is presented. Using the scanning electron microscope (SEM) with a special cathodoluminescence detector system, small amounts of these foreign materials can be visualized in simple frozen sections by their bright luminescence, even at low magnifications (200X). At higher magnifications, a differentiation of free as well as phagocytized aluminum oxide and polyethylene particles can be made due to their different behavior in light emission. In addition, aluminum oxide such as other metals can be identified by x-ray microprobe analysis. This combination of SEM with microprobe analysis and with the highly sensitive cathodoluminescence mode enables to detect and identify wear products from all the materials, commonly used in manufacturing artificial joint replacements.

    Notes: Glutaraldehyde is commonly used to control physical and biological properties of collagen structure by means of intramolecular and/or intermolecular crosslinking of collagen molecules. Solubility, antigenicity, and biodegradation of naturally occurring or reconstituted collagenous matrices are effectively reduced by glutaraldehyde treatment. Adverse biological reactions to glutaraldehyde have been limited to infrequent contact dermatitis and to biocidal effects which are exploited in chemical sterilization media. In the present study of glutaraldehyde-tanned collagen sponge, the presence of glutaraldehyde was correlated with cytotoxic effects upon fibroblasts in tissue culture and foreign body giant cell reaction to bioimplants of the sponge. Fibroblast growth in tissue culture is 99% inhibited at media concentrations of 3.0 ppm glutaraldehyde. Extracts of glutaraldehyde collagen sponge in aqueous media at pH 7 and 4.5 yielded 6 μg and 65 μg glutaraldehyde per gram of collagen sponge, respectively. The yield increased tenfold at pH 4.5. Observations indicate that leaching of the glutaraldehyde from glutaraldehyde-tanned collagen sponge is sufficient to produce potentially adverse cellular effects both in vivo and in vitro.
