Controlling cell adhesion on polyurethanes{
Cell attractive or non-attractive surface properties of polyurethane devices can be controlled by treating them with zirconium tetra(tert-butoxide). This gives reactive interfacial zirconium complex species that can be used subsequently to bond cell attractive peptides such as arg-gly-asp (RGD) or cell non-attractive organics such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) to the device surface. Control of t...
متن کاملEndoscopy Guided Eustachian Tube Balloon Dilation: Our Experiences
Introduction: Eustachian tube (ET) dysfunction is a common clinical entity but its treatment is still challenging to Otorhinolaryngologists. This study is done to know the effectiveness of transnasal endoscopic balloon dilatation of eustachian tube for treatment of chronic eustachian tube dysfunction. Materials and Methods: It is a retrospective observational study conducted between May 2...
متن کاملImpact of controlling shear rate on flow-mediated dilation responses in the brachial artery of humans.
The reactive hyperemia test (RHtest) evokes a transient increase in shear stress as a stimulus for endothelial-dependent flow-mediated vasodilation (EDFMD). We developed a noninvasive method to create controlled elevations in brachial artery (BA) shear rate (SR, estimate of shear stress), controlled hyperemia test (CHtest), and assessed the impact of this vs. the RHtest approach on EDFMD. Eight...
متن کاملProbing the Cure and Postcure Reactions in Polyurethanes by FTIR and GPC
Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) wre respectively utilized in determining the changes in isocyanate (NCO) concentration and molecular weight (MW) and its distribution (MWD) in polyurethanes during their cure and postcure stages. Samples, originally cured at 45°C, were taken through accelerate aging tests at various temperatures. The FTIR and GPC anal...
متن کاملControlling wound healing through debridement
The formation of slough (dead tissue) on a wound is widely accepted as an inhibitor to natural wound healing. In this article, a system of differential equations that models slough/wound interaction is developed. We prove a threshold theorem that provides conditions on the amount of slough to guarantee wound healing. As a state-dependent time scale, debridement (the periodic removal of slough) ...
