Is it possible to prevent bacterial adhesion onto ureteric stents?

The aim of this study was to determine whether the use of bactericidal coatings or immersion in antibiotic solution reduces or prevents bacterial adhesion onto ureteric stents. Precut segments of full silicone, silver-coated and hydrogel-coated ureteric stents were incubated with two uropathogenic bacterial strains with and without previous immersion in antibiotic solution. Tobramycin, ceftriaxone and ciprofloxacin solutions were used, as these antibiotics are commonly administered for the prophylaxis and treatment of urinary tract infection (UTI). Microbiological analysis showed that immersion of ureteric stents in ceftriaxone and ciprofloxacin yielded a significant reduction of bacterial adhesion, whereas immersion in tobramycin did not. The surface material of the stents had no direct influence on bacterial adhesion. In this experimental study, neither the silver nor the hydrogel coat reduced bacterial adhesion onto ureteric stents whereas immersion in a suitable antibiotic solution significantly reduced and even prevented this phenomenon, probably due to the adhesion of the antibiotic onto the stent surface. Prevention of bacterial adhesion onto ureteric stents is essential to reduce the risk of UTI in connection with these devices.     

Cora Rotary Pump for Implantable Left Ventricular Assist Device: Biomaterial Aspects

Abstract: Our group is developing a left ventricular assist device based on the principle of the Maillard-Wankel rotative compressor: it is a rotary, not centrifugal, pump that produces a pulsatile flow. Stringent requirements have been defined for construction materials. They must be light, yet sufficiently hard and rigid, and able to be machined with high precision. The friction coefficient must be low and the wear resistance high. The materials must be chemically inert and not deformable. Also, the materials must be biocompatible, and the blood contacting surface must be hemocompatible. We assessed the materials in terms of physiochemistry, mechanics, and tribology to select the best for hemocompatibility (determined by studies of protein adsorption: platelet, leukocyte, and red cell retention: and hemolysis, among other measurements) and biocompatibility (determined by measurement of complement activation and toxicity, among other criteria). Of the materials tested, for short- and middle-term assistance, we chose titanium alloy (Ti₆AI₄V) and alumina ceramic (Al₂O₃) and for long-term and permanent use, composite materials (TiN coating on graphite). We saw that the polishing process of the substrate must be improved. For the future, the best coating material would be diamond-like carbon (DLC) or crystalline diamond coating.     

组织工程学--21世纪面临的机遇与挑战

组织工程学是近20年来医学生命科学领域最具进展与挑战性的前沿科技领域之一,被誉为“一场意义深远的医学革命”、“再生医学的新时代”,标志着复制再生组织与器官的时代的来临!由于它具有修复创伤、重建功能、挽救生命、提高生存质量所特有的优势及巨大的社会、经济价值,而倍受国际学术界及各国政府的高度关注与支持。目前国际上组织工程皮肤、组织工程软骨已有产品面世,并得到美国FDA的批准,国际上已成立了近百家组织工程公司,我国多家大学、研究单位亦相继成立了组织工程研发中心或组织工程公司。目前不但可以构建组织工程化组织,而且复杂生命器官组织工程化构建亦已在国内外积极展开,同时,一些组织工程化组织已初步应用于临床并取得了可喜的临床疗效,显示出组织工程技术可喜的局面、巨大的生命力与宏伟的远景。然而,组织工程学是一门新兴学科,是跨领域、多学科参与合作的边缘学科,目前的工作仅仅是初始,还有大量基本科学问题尚待阐明,大量技术难题尚待攻克;光明与困难共存,机遇与挑战同在;应不失时机抓住机遇,开拓创新,迎接挑战,全力打造组织工程技术的新时代,使组织工程技术能够尽早造福于人类。     

Bone Replacement Materials in Hand Surgery

Abstract Background: In recent years, biomaterials are being found and frequently utilized in bone defects. They have also gained significant precedence in hand surgery. Objectives: The respective requirements for such replacement material will be cited and acknowledged in this article. The individual material groups will also be referred to in this review. An introduction to some of the customary bone replacement materials will be cited and concluded with a corresponding recommendation. Conclusion: The implantation of autologous cancellous bone is still regarded today as the “gold standard”. Nevertheless, the usage of bone replacement material can be an enormous advantage in certain indications.

Activated polyurethane modified with latent thiol groups

A novel type of modified polyurethane with pendant acetylthio groups (as a latent form of thiol groups) has been proposed for the use in surface modifications with various biomolecules. The polymer was prepared via a modified variant of low-temperature bromoalkylation of urethane hard segments followed by the reaction of pendant bromoalkyl groups with thiolacetic acid in mild conditions. The extent of modification with acetylthio groups can be made as high as 0.45 mmol/g. After deprotection of acetylthio groups and reaction of the resulting thiol groups with an excess of Ellman's reagent, 0.1 nmol/cm(2) of thiol-reactive 3-carboxy-4-nitrophenyldithio groups were detected on the surface of films cast from the modified polymer. A sensitive fluorescent probe--dansyl-L-cysteine was used for the quantification of thiol-reactive groups bound to the surface. The acetylthio-modified polyurethane is sufficiently stable to withstand conditions typical for the high-temperature processing (molding, extrusion) of polyurethanes.
