On the secondary stability of coated cementless hip replacement: parameters that affected interface strength

Unlike primary stability of coated cementless implants, their secondary stability has been poorly studied. This paper considers some theoretical aspects of the secondary stability of a coated cementless hip implant in a human femur. The bone is separated from the implant by a thin layer of microscopic peaks and troughs formed on the surface of the coating. The size of the peaks and troughs is very small compared with the macrosize of the implant stem and bone in contact. The study of the bone–stem contact by direct application of the finite element method is prohibitively costly. A two-scale asymptotic homogenisation procedure that takes into account the microgeometry of the interface layer and mechanical properties of bone and the implant material is applied to obtain effective, homogenised contact parameters. These parameters can be used in finite element analyses involving smooth interfaces, which require hundreds of times fewer finite elements. With the homogenisation technique and finite element analyses for a simplified design, two parameters were found to be most important—the normal contact stiffness and the friction coefficient. They both increase several times as bone grows into the rough surface of the implant and mineralises, thus providing a stronger interface and resulting in reduced micromotions.

Safety of injectable autologous human fibroblasts

Autologous dermal fibroblasts after propagation in cell culture were used for face soft tissue augmentation. Twenty patients aged 37–61 years with facial rhytides and atrophic scars were treated with autologous fibroblasts from cell culture. Significant sustained clinical improvement was observed. Cells of early passages (4, 5, 6) were used for injection. The study showed that cultured fibroblasts were functionally active and produced large quantities of type I collagen.In vitro studies of scar formation potency of injectable fibroblasts showed that these cells possessed normal collagen gel contraction capacity.In vivo experiments showed that cultured fibroblasts exhibited no oncogenic properties and induced no tumors in nude mice.

Blood styrene concentrations in a “normal” population and in exposed workers 16 hours after the end of the workshift

Summary Blood styrene was measured by a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method in 81 normal people and in 76 workers exposed to styrene. In the normal subjects, styrene was also tested in alveolar and environmental air. Styrene was found in nearly all (95%) blood samples. Average styrene levels in the normal subjects were 221 ng/1 in blood (Cb), 3 ng/1 in alveolar air (Ca) and 6 ng/1 in environmental air (Ci). Styrene levels did not differ significantly between smokers and non-smokers, 95% of values being below 512 ng/1 in Cb, 7 ng/1 in Ca and 15 ng/l in Ci. In workers with an average exposure to styrene of 204 g/l, at the end of the workshift, mean blood styrene concentration was 1211 g/l. In blood samples collected at the end of the Thursday shift, styrene levels were significantly higher (1590 g/1) than those found at the end of the Monday shift (1068 g/l. A similar difference was found in samples taken the morning after exposure (60 and 119 g/l, respectively). Significant correlations between blood and environmental styrene were found both at the end of the shift and the morning after exposure (r=0.61 and 0.41, respectively). In workers occupationally exposed to styrene, 16 h after the end of the workshift, blood styrene (94 g/l) was significantly higher than that found in the normal subjects (0.22 g/l). The half-life of blood styrene was 3.9 h.
