Abstract Protein adsorption and its conformational arrangements on the surface of metallic biomaterials directly influence biocompatibility degradation process during implant lifetime. However, presence various species such as phosphates, calcium hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in human body not only control electrochemical interactions biomaterial but could also modify protein impact metal degradatio...

To clarify whether electrostatic interaction contributes, the adhesion of red blood cells to monocytes, the first phase of phagocytosis, was studied in vitro in ion-deficient environments comparing with that in ionic environments. Monocytes from mouse tumor ascites and chicken and mouse red cells were used. In isotonic sucrose aqueous solution, glutaraldehyde-fixed red cells did not adhere to m...

Zn alloys have lately captivated the attention of scientific community as possible materials for cardiovascular applications, showing a corrosion behavior and mechanical properties in between those Mg Fe alloys. To better understand different aspects interaction with body fluids, basic pattern degradation products’ formation were investigated considering effect CO2 amount atmosphere pseudo-phys...

Salidroside (Sald), was extracted from Rhodiola rosea L, a traditional Chinese medicine which has been used for long time for anti-aging, anti-cancer and anti-oxidative stress etc. In present experiment, salidroside could protect the PC12 cell against injuries caused by exposure of PC12 cells to 2 mmol/L glutamate for 15 min followed by incubation with serum-free medium for 24 h, which resemble...

Experimental detachments were made in Dutch rabbit eyes by injecting autologous serum or Hanks' solution into the subretinal space through a glass micropipette. The serum was resorbed at a rate of 0.064 +/- 0.023 microliter/mm2/hr, which is approximately half as fast as Hanks' solution. Both cyclic GMP and dibutyryl cyclic GMP accelerated serum resorption by 23%, whereas cyclic AMP and dibutyry...

Small, non-rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (blebs) were made in cat eyes by injecting fluid into the subretinal space, and the time course of fluid resorption was monitored. Blebs made with Hanks' solution over the pigmented RPE resorbed 22% faster than those over the tapetum. Blebs made with a non-ionic solution (isotonic sucrose) took 43% longer to resorb than those made with Hanks' soluti...

High-strength TiHfZrNbx high-entropy alloys could become the ideal materials for small-diameter endovascular stents once their corrosion resistance in physiological milieu is confirmed. This work aims at evaluating of a high-entropy-alloys family Hanks’ solution 37 °C and revealing influence niobium on mechanisms dissolution passivation. The were subjected to series static dynamic electrochemic...

Abbreviation Key HBSS = Hanks balanced salt solution, HPLC = high performance liquid chromatography, IL-2 = interleukin-2, NK = natural killer, SAPLIP = saposin-like protein.
