objective(s):anodized treated titanium surfaces, have been proposed as potential surfaces with better cell attachment capacities. we have investigated the adhesion and proliferation properties of h9c2 cardiac myoblasts on anodized treated titanium surface.  materials and methods: surface topography and anodized tubules were examined by high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (sem). control...

titanium salts are widely used in pharmacy and industry as intensely white permanent pigment with good covering power in paints , paper , toothpaste , plastics and food dye s. this ion is a redox-active transition metal and may cause oxidative damages to lipids, proteins and dna molecules. in spite of abundant literature, questions about the side effects of titanium ions still remain to be answ...

Large (Ti, V) carbonitrides with size even up to tens of microns in autoparts steel 38MnVS6 are studied this work. A great number micron-sized found continuous casting billet, and the atomic ratios V/Ti mainly distributed range 0.130–0.200 an average value 0.171. The large have irregular morphologies, some obviously extending shape along dendrite boundary. 3D morphologies carbonitride after bei...

Although fluoride induces corrosion in titanium in an oral environment, the influence of protein on this corrosion remains to be clarified. The objective of this study was to investigate suppression of fluoride-induced corrosion of titanium where albumin was either present in a solution or where albumin was preadsorbed on titanium. Titanium dissolution in titanium specimens and surface characte...

There are very few reports on hypersensitivity reactions in association with titanium-based materials so that the existence of allergy to titanium is still put in question. We report on a patient in whom impaired fracture healing and eczema localized to the perioperative area developed upon titanium-based osteosynthesis. Patch testing gave no reactions to titanium nor to nickel, chromium, or co...
