    Notes: A novel biomimetic composite consisted of nano β-tricalcium phosphate and collagen(n-TCP/Col.), having similar structure with the natural bone, was produced by a wet-chemicalmethod. The biological effect with and without n-TCP/Col on bone repair and regeneration wasevaluated by histological and radiological examination in a rabbit femoral condyle model. Theresults showed that radiopacity of implant decreased gradually and began to increase at 12 weeks,while no obvious changes for the control. Histological results revealed that trabecular bone formedaround the implant at 4 weeks and increased at 8 weeks; By 12 weeks, bone filling with Harvard’ssystem was observed around the implant. By contrast, only loose connective tissue was seen incontrol group. This was further illuminated by fluorescence microscopy. The results of this studysuggested that the novel nano β-tricalcium phosphate and collagen composite possessed goodproperties of osteoconductivity and degradation in the biological environment, which could havepotential application as a promising bone substitute

    Notes: Biomimetic nanoapatite coatings was developed by functionally modified methods with acombination of topographic, chemical and biomimetic treatments on the surface of titanium (Ti)substrate. The biological behavior and bioactivity of functionally modified SLA implants withchemical and biomimetic treatments (SCB-treated Ti) using body like solution were investigated tocompare with untreated Ti and SLA Ti plates as controls. The cell attachment, proliferation,alkaline phosphotatse (AKP) activity, cell morphology and differentiation were evaluated by usingMTT, RT-PCR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and confocal laser-scanning microscope(CLSM) analysis system. The results showed that the cell adhesion and proliferation was enhancedon functionalized titanium surface with nano-scale apatite compared to the controls. SEMmicrographs also revealed that the osteoblast-like cells spreadly grew along the surface. Cellmorphology and differentiation could be further observed distinctly by CLSM graphs. Moreover,mRNA expression of alkaline phosphotatse in nucleus on the SCB-treated Ti increased obviouslyon the third day compared with the controls. The in vitro results demonstrated the remarkableimprovement on cell adhesion and proliferation of the biomimetic nanoapatite on SCB-treated Ti,which could be used for orthopaedic/dental implants

    Notes: To evaluate the effectiveness of the cell-material in situ on joint resurfacing, a wovenfabric polyglycolic acid (PGA) treated with fresh chondrocytes was used for repairing cartilagedefects. Full-thickness defects were created in the weight-bearing surfaces of the femoralintercondylar fossa in a rabbit model. The defect was filled with and without PGA under surgicalcondition. Before implantation, chondrocytes were co-cultured with PGA for one day. The animalswere sacrificed at eight weeks after implantation and evaluated grossly and histological score.Morphological examination showed that for PGA/chondrocytes group, the repaired tissue appearedsimilar in color and texture to the surrounding articular surface. While for the untreated control, nocartilage-like tissue was observed at all defects, but connective fibrous tissue. Histological analysisrevealed neochondrogenesis and clusters of cartilage matrix with specific safranin-O staining for thePGA/cell group. The Gross and histological evaluation indicated a significantly higher score forPGA/cell group than for PGA and control group. These results suggest that the woven fabric PGAmay facilitate the formation of cartilage tissues by providing a biodegradable and good-handlevehicle for the delivery to and retention of organized cell matrix constructs in vivo site. It mighttherefore enhance neochondrogenesis because of the superior biodegradable and biocompatible ofPGA scaffold sheet, while the more suitable biological environment might sustain cell growth andin situ cell function, suggesting a promising candidate for functional tissue engineering of clinicalenvironment

    Notes: A variety of silicon carbide (SiC) detectors have been developed to study their sensitivity,including Schottky photodiodes, p-i-n photodiodes, avalanche photodiodes (APDs), and singlephoton-counting APDs. Due to the very wide bandgap and thus extremely low leakage current, SiCphoto-detectors show excellent sensitivity. The specific detectivity, D*, of SiC photodiodes aremany orders of magnitude higher than the D* of other solid state detectors, and for the first time,comparable to that of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). SiC APDs have also been fabricated to pursuethe ultimate sensitivity. By operating the SiC APDs at a linear mode gain over 106, single photoncountingavalanche photodiodes (SPADs) in UV have been demonstrated

    Notes: A novel porous beta-tricalcium phosphate /collagen fibers (β-TCP/CF) composite, having a well-dispersed nano-sized β-TCP in collagen matrix, was developed by a wet-chemical method. The nano-composite was compared to conventional β-TCP on cytocompatibility by cell attachment, proliferation, alkaline phosphotatse (AKP) activity and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. These in vitro assays showed that the β-TCP/CF composite elicited cell adhesion andproliferation better then controls. Moreover experiments on osteoblast-like cells showed improved cell growth with the highly characterized nanophase structure. SEM micrographs also showed that the nano-sized composite exhibited much more viable cells in attachment on the surface compared with the controls. At 1, 3 and 5 days, AKP activity was not significant different for the tested andcontrol samples, while at 7 day after culture, significantly increased AKP activity was observed for β-TCP/CF than for the control. The in vitro results obtained confirmed the remarkable improvement of cell adhesion and proliferation of the nano-sized β-TCP/CF composite, which may be a new promising candidate for tissue engineered bone substitute
