چکیده

Particulate wear debris can induce the release of bone-resorbing cytokines from cultured macrophages and fibroblasts in vitro, and these mediators are believed to be the cause of the periprosthetic bone resorption which leads to aseptic loosening in vivo. Much less is known about the effects of particulate debris on the growth and metabolism of osteoblastic cells. We exposed two human osteoblast-like cell lines (SaOS-2 and MG-63) to particulate cobalt, chromium and cobalt-chromium alloy at concentrations of 0, 0.01, 0.1 and 1.0 mg/ml. Cobalt was toxic to both cell lines and inhibited the production of type-I collagen, osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase. Chromium and cobalt-chromium were well tolerated by both cell lines, producing no cytotoxicity and no inhibition of type-I collagen synthesis. At the highest concentration tested (1.0 mg/ml), however, chromium inhibited alkaline phosphatase activity, and both chromium and cobalt-chromium alloy inhibited osteocalcin expression. Our results clearly show that particulate metal debris can modulate the growth and metabolism of osteoblastic cells in vitro. Reduced osteoblastic activity at the bone-implant interface may be an important mechanism by which particulate wear debris influences the pathogenesis of aseptic loosening in vivo.

P-122: Effects of Cobalt Chloride and Chromium Chloride on Development of Mouse Testes

Background: Cobalt (Co) is an essential trace element for mammals required for the synthesis of vitamin B12. It is not a cumulative toxin but chronic exposure induces negative effects on the organism. It was proven that cobalt passes via placenta appearing in the fetal blood and amniotic fluid and it is shown to possess an embryotoxic effect. Also, chromium (Cr) is recognized as a trace element...

Shear Bond Strength of Porcelain Veneering to Nickel-Chromium, Chromium-Cobalt, Zirconia and Lithium Disilicate

Background and Aim: High chipping rates of the veneering porcelain in zirconia ce-ramic restorations have been reported in many clinical studies. However, information on the bonding behavior of veneering porcelain to zirconia and lithium disilicate frameworks is limited. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bond-ing strength of porcelain veneering to zirconia, lithium disilicate, nicke...

A Study on the Effects of Particulate Metals of Orthopaedic Interest on Murine Macrophages

This is part of a larger study designed to investigate the action of particulate metals of orthopaedic interest on tissues. Damaging effects were determined by cytological examination and the assay of two enzymes. Lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) if released into the supernatant indicates a damaged cell membrane; decreased intracellular levels of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) indicates a l...
