Curing efficiency and ocular hazards of dental photopolymerization sources

The spectral distributions of a range of dental photocuring sources were measured at the exit window and at a distance of 10 cm. The former enabled the evaluation of a newly proposed photocuring efficiency index which correlates well with the depth of cure of the photopolymerized resins, thus providing a basis for the comparison of different photocuring sources. The spectral irradiante of the sources obeyed the inversesquare law, allowing a comparison with the ACGIH threshold limit values. According to these criteria, no ocular hazard is posed to the patient or clinician by u.v.-A or u.v.-B radiation nor to the patient by the visible light when momentarily exposed to the sources. Similarly the ACGIH criterion indicates that the clinician does not risk chorioretinal injury provided the exposure is restricted to less than 140 s in a 3 h period.     

Structure and properties of methacrylate based dental restorative materials

The chemistry and structure of the dimethacrylate resins and the nature of the filler systems in dental composite resins are reviewed in relation to their influence on the setting behaviour, dimensional stability, aesthetics, fracture behaviour and adhesive potential. It is clear that a deeper understanding of the structure of the polymeric matrix and the mechanism of clinical wear is required. As a result of ongoing research in this area and with the development of dentine adhesives, the future prospects of composite resins are encouraging.     

Evaluation of endocrine disrupting activity of plasticizers in polyvinyl chloride tubes by estrogen receptor alpha binding assay

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tubing is an indispensable medical material for extracorporeal circulation therapy. However, di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), a suspected endocrine disruptor, can be eluted from PVC, suggesting that an alternative material that does not contain DEHP is needed for clinical applications. First, we evaluated the endocrine disrupting risks of the plasticizers contained in PVC tubes by investigating their binding affinities for the human estrogen receptor alpha (ERα). Our results revealed that, while DEHP has some binding affinity for ERα, neither epoxidized soybean oil nor tris(2-ethylhexyl)trimellitate (an alternative to DEHP) has any affinity for ERα. Second, we evaluated the endocrine disrupting risks of a tube made of newly developed plasticizer-free (PF) materials. We confirmed the presence of DEHP and detected several unidentified substances in plasma stored within the PVC tube. This plasma's competitive binding affinity for ERα was significantly higher than that of control plasma (P < 0.01). In contrast, the profile of plasma stored in the PF tube was similar to that of the control, both in terms of high-performance liquid chromatography chromatograms and competitive binding capacity for ERα, suggesting that the PF tube is biocompatible and is useful for reducing the elution of substances capable of binding to ERα.

用于预防术后粘连的可吸收高分子材料研究进展

粘连是结缔组织纤维带与相邻的组织或器官结合在一起而形成的异常结构；其经常在妇产科、心胸外科和脊柱外科手术后出现。粘连是引发术后并发症的主要原因之一。在目前预防粘连的诸多方法中，采用高分子材料作为隔离物是一种有效的途径。本综述了近年来用于预防粘连的各种可吸收高分子材料，其中包括壳聚糖、聚乙二醇、透明质酸、纤维素等。并且介绍了经过化学改性、物理共混、表面接枝等方法获得的许多新型聚合物。这些材料可以制成溶液、薄膜、凝胶等不同形式使用；而且既可以单独使用，也可与抗粘连药物结合使用。     

Transport of urea and amino acids through the isolated human placenta

By means of a method of two-way perfusion of the isolated human placenta the transport of urea from the fetal to the maternal placental circulation and the transport of amino acids in the opposite direction were studied. Experiments showed that the method provides for sufficiently complete perfusion of the intervillous space and creates suitable conditions for the study of placental transport. If the amino nitrogen concentrations in the two circulatory systems are equal, its concentration in the fetal circulation rises in the course of the experiment. On the addition of an amino acid to the maternal circulation, this increase develops to a greater degree. The results of these experiments confirm the view that amino acids are secreted by trophoblast cells into the fetal circulation.Laboratory of Biochemistry, Institute of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR, Leningrad.

纳米材料在组织工程体外细胞培养中的应用进展

组织工程包括细胞和生物支架两部分.其中细胞的活性在很大程度上取决于支架材料的优劣.良好的生物支架应该能尽可能地模拟细胞在体内的内环境,从而提供细胞生长所需的微环境.纳米材料由于很好地模拟了细胞在体内的拓扑结构,从而在组织工程领域得到了越来越广泛的应用.综述了纳米材料在各种细胞体外培养中的作用,初步探讨了纳米材料对细胞促进作用的机制,并对纳米材料在肝脏组织工程中的应用进行了展望.

基于骨和无有机成分骨与羟基磷灰石压缩性能实验比较的强度分析

目的分析判定以珊瑚为基体,通过水热交换法制成的羟基磷灰石植入体内后的强度是否可以达到活体骨的水平。方法实验测量羟基磷灰石、含有机成分的骨、无有机成分的骨的压缩极限应力。通过对比羟基磷灰石、骨及无有机成分的骨的压缩强度差别,确定胶原纤维对骨压缩强度的作用,进而应用经验模型预估人造羟基磷灰石在一定空隙度(0.1～0.5)范围变化时的强度。结果羟基磷灰石、骨及无有机成分的压缩强度分别为14.1 GPa、207 GPa和31.7 GPa。结论去除骨中的有机成分后其压缩强度降低约80%。水热交换法制成的羟基磷灰石抗压强度可能高于骨内羟基磷灰石,这种骨替代材料植入体内后,随着骨和纤维组织在内部生长,其强度有可能达到活体骨的水平。
