Vascularization of Nanohydroxyapatite/Collagen/Poly(L-lactic acid) Composites by Implanting Intramuscularly In Vivo

Formability Analysis of Bamboo Fabric Reinforced Poly (Lactic) Acid Composites

Poly (lactic) acid (PLA) composites have made their way into various applications that may require thermoforming to produce 3D shapes. Wrinkles are common in many forming processes and identification of the forming parameters to prevent them in the useful part of the mechanical component is a key consideration. Better prediction of such defects helps to significantly reduce the time required fo...

Poly(lactic acid) Composites Containing Carbon-Based Nanomaterials: A Review

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a green alternative to petrochemical commodity plastics, used in packaging, agricultural products, disposable materials, textiles, and automotive composites. It is also approved by regulatory authorities for several biomedical applications. However, for some uses it is required that some of its properties be improved, namely in terms of thermo-mechanical and electrica...

Natural Fibre Bio - Composites Incorporating Poly ( Lactic Acid )

Ketone body, glucose, lactic acid, and amino acid utilization by tumors in vivo in fasted rats.

Arteriovenous differences for acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, glucose, lactic acid, and glutamine and other amino acids were measured across Morris hepatomas 5123C, 7777, and 7288CTCF and Walker sarcocarcinoma 256 in vivo in rats fasted for 2 days. The acetoacetate and beta-hydroxybutyrate concentrations in arterial whole blood of fasted tumor-bearing rats were 0.52 +/- 0.06 and 1.82 +/- 0....

Amino acid, glucose, and lactic acid utilization in vivo by rat tumors.

These experiments were performed to determine the patterns of substrate utilization for energy production in tumors in vivo. A method is described for the growth of "tissue isolated" rat tumors. Implants of transplantable tumors are attached to a surgically prepared vascular pedicle composed of the superfi cial epigastric artery and vein. The vascular pedicle and tumor implant are enclosed in a...
