The defects were repaired even in the control group (defect only) within 4 weeks; however, the repaired cortical bone was thinner than that in the OCP/Gel-implanted group. The results suggest that an OCP/Gel composite could be effectively used as a bone substitute material for autografts.","PeriodicalId":20022,"journal":{"name":"Phosphorus Research Bulletin","volume":"158 1","pages":"53-58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81391395","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}

We examined the behavior of OCP crystals after exposure to a simulated body fluid (SBF). No crystalline phase changes were exhibited by samples soaked in SBF, but formation of calcium phosphate was assumed to occur because of decreases in concentration of both calcium and phosphate ions in SBF. The molar ratio of the reduction in calcium and phosphate ions concentrations (ΔCa/ΔP) at 1 day was 1.42, eventually converging to a value of 1.33. These results indicated that OCP was formed on OCP crystals through an intermediate amorphous phase and OCP soaked in SBF was transformed into hydroxyapatite to only a negligible extent in the solution.

Physicochemical properties of these complexes were quite different with each other due mainly to the presence or absence of tryptophan residues on the polymer chain. The adsorption amount of poly(Arg,Trp) on HAp was much larger than that of poly(Arg). Zeta potential of the HAp-poly(Arg,Trp) complex was far lower than that of the HAp-poly(Arg) complex. Considering these facts, it was concluded that hydrophobic interaction between Trp residues of poly(Arg,Trp) induced an adsorption bilayer on HAp, while poly(Arg) simply formed an adsorption monolayer through electrostatic interaction.
