AB222. Comparison of biocompatibility between PDMS and PMMA as packaging materials for the intravesical implantable device: changes of macrophage and macrophage migratory inhibitory factor

چکیده
Introduction: Several attempts to invent implantable devices have done, and it is also necessary to develop biocompatible packaging materials for implantable devices. Thus, we evaluated the biocompatibility of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) by analyzing of the changes of macrophage, macrophage migratory inhibitory factor (MIF) and inflammatory cytokines of the bladder. Materials and methods: A 2 mm-sized, ball-shaped lead was made and coated with PDMS or PMMA. After 1-, 2-, and, 4-week intravesical implantation with each lead balls in the bladder of the rats, the inflammatory changes by foreign body reaction were evaluated. Results: At 1 week, the increased activity of macrophages and increased expression of MIF in the urothelium was observed except control group, however the significantly decreased activity of macrophages and MIF expression in rats implanted with PDMSor PMMA-coated lead were noted at 2 and 4 weeks. In addition, significant decreased levels of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α were observed with time. In this study, we noticed the expression of MIF in the urothelium and presented the changes of MIF as well as macrophages and other inflammatory cytokines. Conclusions: We suggest that the role of MIF in the foreign body response. After the intravesical implantation with PDMS or PMMA, the lower inflammatory response was observed in the bladder. Therefore, PDMS or PMMA are suggested for the biocompatible polymers in the bladder.

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is used in implantable medical devices; however, PDMS is not a completely biocompatible material for electronic medical devices in the bladder. To identify novel biocompatible materials for intravesical implanted medical devices, we evaluated the biocompatibility of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) by analyzing changes in the levels of macrophages, macrophage migratory...

Background: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a key pro-inflammatory cytokine that is secreted by accumulated active macrophages in ectopic tissue of endometriosis. MIF is involved in pathophysiological events of endometriosis, such as angiogenesis and cell proliferation. MIF that stimulates the synthesis of PGE2, leads to over-expression of local estradiol synthesis in endometrio...

Iranian Black Tea and Cowslip Extracts Induce Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha Secretion from Mouse Macrophage Cell Culture
Many species of tea (Camellia sinensis) and cowslip (Echium amoenum) are used in Iranian traditional medicine. The aim of this study was to conduct the survey on the ability of Iranian black tea and cowslip extracts on secretion of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) by non-infected and infected mouse macrophages. A macrophage infection model with Legionella pneumophila and enzyme linked im...
