Calcium Phosphate cement has been the subject of intense investigation over the past few years. This study compares difference in biocompatibility between the three main phases of Ca-P, namely Hydroxyapatite, Dicalcium phosphate and β-Tricalcium phosphate. It involves composite preparation followed by cell test. Material parameters were stoichiometry (Hydroxyapatite with Ca-P ratio of 1.67, Dic...

Dicalcium phosphate cements were developed two decades ago and ever since there has been a substantial growth in research into improving their properties in order to satisfy the requirements needed for several clinical applications. The present paper presents an overview of the rapidly expanding research field of the two main dicalcium phosphate bioceramics: brushite and monetite. This review b...

1. The sodium salt of triphosphoinositide partitions in the upper polar phase in a biphasic chloroform-methanol-water system similar to that of Folch et al. (1957). 2. On the addition of 2mug.atoms of Ca(2+) or Mg(2+) per mumole of triphosphoinositide the phospholipid passes entirely into the lower non-polar phase as the dicalcium or dimagnesium salt. 3. When serum albumin is included in the bi...

Abstract Dicalcium silicate, which is found in steelmaking slag for dephosphorization, exists as the hexagonal α phase at high temperatures. The ‐dicalcium silicate forms a solid solution with tricalcium phosphate entire composition range, although reason solubility of phosphorus remains unclear view crystal structure. It has previously been reported that structure consists symmetric arrangemen...

Five steers (385 kg) fitted with permanent abomasal cannulae were used to compare Ca source (limestone or dicalcium phosphate) and corn level on site and extent of digestion. Diets contained 50, 70 or 90% corn, with corn silage and supplement to provide .70% Ca from either limestone or dicalcium phosphate. Limestone did not affect ruminal digestion, but postruminal starch and neutral detergent ...

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of different level of dicalcium phosphate on growth, digestibility, rumen fermentation and some blood parameters. Eighteen growing local breed male lambs (about 3 months old) with an average weight of 23.61 ±0.58 Kg were divided randomly into three feeding groups for 150 days, fed on: Ration one ( R1) : CFM contained1% dicalcium phospha...
