A polycaprolactone-tricalcium phosphate scaffold with recombinant human BMP-7 heals critical-sized bone defects in sheep.
Despite promising advances in basic spinal cord repair research, no effective therapy resulting major neurological or functional recovery after traumatic injury (tSCI) is available to date. The examination according the International Standards for Neurological and Functional Classification of Spinal Cord Injury Patients (International Standards) has become cornerstone assessment severity level injury. Based on parameters from Standards, physicians are able inform patients about predicted...
With the rise of bacterial and viral infections including recent outbreak coronavirus, requirement for novel antimicrobial strategies is also rising with urgency. To solve this problem, we have used a wet etching technique to fabricate 23 nm wide nanostructures randomly aligned as ridges on aluminum (Al) 6063 alloy surfaces. The surfaces were etched 0.5, 1, 3 h. characterized using scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, contact angle goniometry, nanoindentation...
A preclinical evaluation using a regenerative medicine methodology comprising an additively manufactured medical-grade ε-polycaprolactone β-tricalcium phosphate (mPCL-TCP) scaffold with corticoperiosteal flap was undertaken in eight sheep tibial critical-size segmental bone defect (9.5 cm 3 , M size) the matching axial vascularization (RMAV) approach. Biomechanical, radiological, histological, and immunohistochemical analysis confirmed functional regeneration comparable to clinical gold...
Objectives To examine the relative differences in injury hospitalisation cost estimates from hospital administrative data when using (1) reimbursement based on National Efficient Price (NEP) versus local costings methods, (2) inflation factors Consumer Index (CPI) health group index and (3) different healthcare funder’s perspectives. Design Retrospective population-based cohort study of linked Queensland Hospital Admitted Patient Data Collection dataset Cost data. Setting All admitted...
Abstract Cell-based tissue engineering approaches are promising strategies in the field of regenerative medicine. However, mode cell delivery is still a concern and needs to be significantly improved. Scaffolds and/or matrices loaded with cells often transplanted into bone defect immediately after has been created. At this point, nutrient oxygen supply low inflammatory cascade incited, thus creating highly unfavorable microenvironment for survive participate regeneration process. We...
Background and purpose - Constant fixator stiffness for the duration of healing may not provide suitable mechanical conditions all stages bone repair. We therefore investigated influence stiffening fixation on callus morphology in a rat diaphyseal osteotomy model to determine whether time was shortened increased through modulation from flexible stiff. Material methods An external unilateral applied osteotomized femur stiffened by decreasing offset inner bar at 3, 7, 14, 21 days after...
Abstract Expanding human chondrocytes in vitro while maintaining their ability to form cartilage remains a key challenge tissue engineering. One promising approach address this is use microcarriers as substrates for chondrocyte expansion. While have shown beneficial effects expansion of animal and ectopic chondrocytes, utility has not been determined freshly isolated adult articular chondrocytes. Thus, we investigated the proliferation subsequent chondrogenic differentiation these clinically...
