Orthopedic implants should have sufficient strength and promote bone tissue regeneration. However, most conventional are optimized for use either under high mechanical load or active osseointegration. To achieve the dual target of durability biocompatibility, polyether ether ketone (PEEK) filaments reinforced with internal titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles via dopamine-induced polymerizatio...

Biomaterials are engineering products that widely used in many medical fields such as orthopaedic applications, facial and maxillofacial surgery, artificial heart parts, metal parts implantable devices. These materials medicine because they compatible with the organism, not allergic, resistant to physical chemical factors. Hydroxyapatites bioactive calcium phosphate ceramics tissues. To increas...

Hydroxyapatite orbital implants are widely used in the treatment of post-nucleation socket syndrome. The porous hydroxyapatite serves as a matrix for vascular tissue ingrowth. We investigate the degree of fibro-vascular tissue integration and the presence of osteogenesis within the porous hydroxyapatite part of the orbital implants. For comprehensive imaging, all implants were prepared using a ...

UNLABELLED Prospective experimental study in which we created a bony defect in the mastoids of rats and filled it up with hydroxyapatite to evaluate bone regeneration, to solve the problems of open cavities after mastoidectomies that frequently present with otorrhea, infection, granulation tissue and hearing loss. OBJECTIVE The aim was to evaluate bone regeneration in defects created in the m...

INTRODUCTION This study compares the outcome and complications of integrated hydroxyapatite implant and non-integrated orbital implants following enucleation in Asian patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective study of enucleated patients with coralline hydroxyapatite implants versus non-integrated implants (acrylic, glass and silicone) at the Singapore National Eye Centre from J...

This study conducted plant growth tests using a rhizobox system to quantitatively determine the distance of immobilization lead migrating from contaminated soil into uncontaminated rhizosphere soil, and to assess the lead phases accumulated in rhizosphere soil by sequential extraction. Without the hydroxyapatite, exchangeable lead fractions increased as the rhizosphere soil got closer to the co...

The amount of fluoride adsorbed onto hydroxyapatite increased as the aqueous fluoride concentration increased. When the aqueous fluoride concentration exceeded 100 ppm, the total amount of fluoride adsorbed onto hydroxyapatite decreased after being washed off with water three times. It is postulated that when the aqueous fluoride concentration exceeds 100 ppm, a multilayer structure of calcium ...

This study introduces the application of calcium-derivatized hydroxyapatite for purification of Fab. Fab binds to native hydroxyapatite but fails to bind to the calcium derivatized form. IgG, Fc, and most other protein contaminants bind to the calcium form. This supports Fab purification by a simple flow-through method that achieves greater than 95% purity from papain digests and mammalian cell...

Abstract Active alginate-based coatings with quercetin glycoside and complexes of hydroxyapatite/quercetin-glycoside were used to study the shelf life fresh cut papaya stored at 6 °C. Hydroxyapatite was as a carrier for release bioactive compound. The parameters considered affecting quality fruit during storage weight loss, color, texture, sugars volatile compounds. hydroxyapatite proved higher...

A bone has a hierarchical structure as shown in Fig. 1 [1]. Macroscopic bone properties are dependent on the microstructure and properties of structural elements. The bone is a composite material that consists of hydroxyapatite particles in a matrix of collagen fiber. Borsato et al. [2] measured the strain of hydroxyapatite by X-ray diffraction and obtained clear evidence of the stress concentr...
