Evaluation of monomer leaching from a dual cured resin cement.
Purpose: An increasing number of inlay cavities is restored with tooth-colored materials, especially ceramics are cemented with resin cements. The comonomer TEGDMA and other monomers Bis-GMA and UDMA have been identified as the main compounds released from polymerized resin cements into aqueous media. […]
Wear particle analysis of highly crosslinked polyethylene isolated from a failed total hip arthroplasty.
Polyethylene wear particles are one of the most important factors affecting the results of total hip arthroplasty (THA). To reduce wear generation and to achieve better long-term results of THA, highly crosslinked polyethylene (HXPE) has recently been introduced and […]
Swelling characteristics and drug delivery properties of nifedipine-loaded pH sensitive alginate-chitosan hydrogel beads.
The aim of the present work was to investigate the swelling behavior and in vitro release of nifedipine from alginate-chitosan hydrogel beads. Structure and surface morphology of the hydrogel were characterized by FTIR and SEM, respectively. Alginate-chitosan mixed beads and […]
Contact-free determination of material characteristics using a newly developed pressure-operated strain-applying bioreactor.
Experimental mechanostimulation of biologic samples serves to understand fundamental processes in mechanobiology. Unfortunately, present techniques do not allow contact-free investigation of material characteristics. We developed a mechanostimulator that functions under the assumption that the counterforce generated by a biologic sample placed […]
Chromosome 8q24 markers: Risk of early-onset and familial prostate cancer.
Recent admixture mapping and linkage/association studies have implicated an approximately 1 Mb region on chromosome 8q24 in prostate cancer susceptibility. In a subsequent follow-up investigation, Haiman et al. (Nat Genet 2007;39:638-44) observed significant, independent associations between 7 markers within this region and sporadic […]
Arming parvoviruses with CpG motifs to improve their oncosuppressive capacity.
Oncolytic viruses represent novel tools for cancer treatment. Besides specifically killing cancer cells (oncolysis), these agents also provide danger signals, prompting the immune system to eliminate virus-infected tumours. As a consequence of oncolytic events, the innate and adaptive immune systems gain access to […]
