The treatment with a H(2)O(2)/HCl solution at 80 degrees C for 30 min followed by heating at 400 degrees C for 1 h produces an anatase titania gel layer on the specimen surface. This gel layer deposits apatite both on the contact and on open surfaces, and apatite deposition ability does not change with pre-staking in distilled water. The treatment with a NaOH solution at 60 degrees C for 3 days produces a sodium titanate gel layer. This gel layer can deposit apatite only on the contact surface, and the apatite deposition ability is completely lost after 1 day of pre-staking in distilled water. It is concluded, therefore, that the bioactivity of the titania gel originates from the favorable structure of the gel itself while the bioactivity of the sodium titanate gel depends heavily on ion release from the gel. The third treatment, a simple heat treatment at 400 degrees C for 1 h, produces a dense (not porous) oxide layer on the specimen surface. The specimens can deposit apatite on the contact surface after only 3 days of staking in SBF, but they cannot deposit apatite on the open surface for up to 2 months of staking. The implications of such apatite deposition behavior have been discussed in relation to the environments of titanium implants in bone as well as to the methodology of the SBF staking experiment.</p>","PeriodicalId":15159,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biomedical materials research","volume":"54 2","pages":"172-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/1097-4636(200102)54:2<172::aid-jbm3>3.0.co;2-#","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21918543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thrombin generation rate normalized to platelet number was used as a measurement of platelet activation (procoagulant activity). RFGD polymers produced by copolymerization of acrylic acid and 1, 7-octadiene contained varying amounts of carboxylic acid species as determined by electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA). These polymers induced little variation in platelet adhesion, thrombin generation, or platelet activation. RFGD polymerization of C(3)F(6) and C(2)H(4) resulted in polymers with varying proportions of fluorinated species, as determined by ESCA. Fibrinogen adsorption from plasma was maximal on a polymer made with 25% C(3)F(6) (75% C(2)H(4)) in the feed. However von Willebrand factor (vWF) adsorption was greater on polymers made with increased %C(3)F(6) in the feed. Platelet adhesion decreased with increasing %C(3)F(6) in the feed. Thrombin generation was lowest for platelets adherent to polymers made from both C(3)F(6) and C(2)H(4). Therefore, procoagulant activity of platelets increased for polymers made with increased %C(3)F(6) in the feed, similar to the trend in vWF adsorption.

In vivo and in vitro studies confirmed that an HA layer on cpTi (HA/cpTi) implants showed good compatibility with bone tissue, rat bone marrow stromal (RBM) cells, and immune cells. The aim of the present investigation was to further characterize the in vitro early cellular behavior of RBM cells on HA/cpTi implants. Therefore, in this study we performed surface analysis, analysis of cell initial attachment, and analysis of cell morphology and the cytoskeleton. Drops of distilled water or cell culture medium showed smaller contact angles with HA/cpTi than with cpTi. RBM cells were cultured for 30, 60, and 120 min on HA/cpTi and cpTi, and the level of cell adhesion was shown to increase with time on both substrates. However, cell adhesion on HA/cpTi was significantly higher than on cpTi at 60 and 120 min. Especially at 120 min, when compared with cpTi, the cell morphology on the surface of HA/cpTi not only adopted a flattened and spreading form, but also extended filopodium-like processes with irregular edges that were intimately adapted to the surface of the HA microcrystals. The cytoskeleton on HA/cpTi showed well-formed actin filaments that were parallel to each other and the long axis of RBM cells. The actin filaments of RBM cells on the HA/cpTi surface were localized to the periphery (corresponding to the edge of the filopodium-like processes) well after 120 min. This suggests that actin filaments of RBM cells need to be anchored at the HA/cpTi surface and the numerous HA microcrystals precipitated on the HA/cpTi surface. These findings were similar to the scanning electron microscopic morphology. The peripheral anchorage provide sufficient strength of attachment to allow recognization of actin filaments upon HA/cpTi. The surface of HA/cpTi was more hydrophilic and exhibited markedly improved wettability compared to untreated cpTi, and higher levels of early cell attachment were observed on surfaces after anodization and hydrothermal treatment than on surfaces with untreated cpTi. The results of in vitro experiments suggest that this new method for forming a thin HA layer on the surface of cpTi could be useful to ensure excellent cellular behavior on implant surfaces. The characterization of cell morphology on the thin HA layer formed by anodization and hydrothermal treatment on cpTi implant material suggests that physicochemical or biological conditioning of the implant surface involves implant surface topography.</p>","PeriodicalId":15159,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biomedical materials research","volume":"51 3","pages":"398-407"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/1097-4636(20000905)51:3<398::aid-jbm14>3.0.co;2-#","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21722088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
