Ergebnisse nach Implantation einer Worst Iris Claw Lens zur Korrektur der hohen Myopie
2001
Fragestellung. Ziel dieser prospektiven klinischen Studie war die Erfassung der Refraktion, des korrigierten Visus und des Vorderkammerreizzustandes nach Implantation einer Worst Iris Claw Lens zur Korrektur der hohen Myopie. Patienten und Methode. Von Dezember 1996 bis Februar 1999 wurde bei insgesamt 44 phaken Augen von 28 Patienten eine Worst Iris Claw Lens implantiert. Es folgte eine Nachbeobachtungszeit von 6 Wochen bzw. 6 Monaten. Ergebnisse. Das mittlere praoperative spharische Aquivalent betrug −17,35±3,57 dpt. Sechs Monate postoperativ lag die Refraktion bei 79% der Augen im Intervall von ±1,0 dpt von der Zielrefraktion entfernt. Der mittlere korrigierte Visus stieg von praoperativ…
Effect of the methacrylate-based endodontic sealer Epiphany on rat peritoneal macrophages viability
2011
Objective: To evaluate the effect of the endodontic sealer Epiphany on rat peritoneal macrophages viability. Materials and methods: Peritoneal macrophages were obtained from Wistar rats and resuspended in RPMI- 1640 medium. Undiluted (crude extract) and diluted extracts to 10%, 1%, 0.1%, 0.01%, 0.001% and 0.0001% of Epiphany, AH 26 and AH Plus sealers on RPMI-1640 medium were tested for cytotoxicity to rat peritoneal macrophages using the trypan blue dye exclusion assay. Data were analyzed statistically by the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests at 5% significance level. Results: Crude extract of Epiphany killed 51% of cells, but was less cytotoxic that crude extracts of AH Plus and AH 26…
Methotrexate-Loaded Polymethylmethacrylate Bone Cement for Local Bone Metastasis Therapy: Pilot Animal Study in the Rabbit Patellar Groove
2008
Local chemotherapy is an option in bone metastasis treatment. On the other hand, evaluation of side effects on bone is a difficult issue in drug development and biomaterials research. Most animal models to date are inappropriate or not feasible. Rabbits are an alternative to other bigger mammals and have an appropriate bone structure compared to rats and mice. The patellar groove model of the rabbit offers a standardized and sensitive model to evaluate bone-compromising drug effects. We tested the system with a reproducible polymethacrylate implant as carrier and loaded this system with methotrexate. Three methotrexate concentrations were used in the test samples (250 mg, 1 g and 4 g per 40…
CpG-Loaded Multifunctional Cationic Nanohydrogel Particles as Self-Adjuvanting Glycopeptide Antitumor Vaccines
2014
Self-adjuvanting antitumor vaccines by multifunctional cationic nanohydrogels loaded with CpG. A conjugate consisting of tumor-associated MUC1-glycopeptide B-cell epitope and tetanus toxin T-cell epitope P2 is linked to cationic nanogels. Oligonucleotide CpG complexation enhances toll-like receptor (TLR) stimulated T-cell proliferation and rapid immune activation. This co-delivery promotes induction of specific MUC1-antibodies binding to human breast tumor cells without external adjuvant.
Bidentate [N, N] nickel complexes with salen type ligands for polymerization of methyl methacrylate
2008
Otrzymano kompleksy niklu [N,N]NiBr2, które po aktywacji związkiem glinoorganicznym zastosowano w polimeryzacji metakrylanu metylu (MMA). Dwukleszczowe ligandy [N,N] uzyskano zastępując w ligandach salenowych grupy hydroksylowe podstawione do pierścieni fenylowych różnymi grupami alkoksylowymi (OMe lub OCH2C6H5). Metyloalumoksan (MAO) okazał się skutecznym aktywatorem kompleksów niklu w polimeryzacji MMA. Same kompleksy bez aktywatora nie wykazywały żadnej aktywności. Stwierdzono, że aktywność badanych układów katalitycznych rośnie ze wzrostem stosunku molowego Al/Ni. W wyniku polimeryzacji w stosowanych warunkach otrzymano poli(metakrylan metylu) (PMMA) z przewagą triad syndiotaktycznych c…
Supramolecular Modification of ABC Triblock Terpolymers in Confinement Assembly
2018
The self-assembly of AB diblock copolymers in three-dimensional (3D) soft confinement of nanoemulsions has recently become an attractive bottom up route to prepare colloids with controlled inner morphologies. In that regard, ABC triblock terpolymers show a more complex morphological behavior and could thus give access to extensive libraries of multicompartment microparticles. However, knowledge about their self-assembly in confinement is very limited thus far. Here, we investigated the confinement assembly of polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine)-block-poly(tert-butyl methacrylate) (PS-b-P4VP-b-PT or SVT) triblock terpolymers in nanoemulsion droplets. Depending on the block weight fractio…
