Inhibition of aortic wall calcification in bioprosthetic heart valves by ethanol pretreatment: Biochemical and biophysical mechanisms
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998-10)
The effectiveness of ethanol pretreatment on preventing calcification of glutaraldehyde-fixed porcine aortic bioprosthetic heart valve (BPHV) cusps was previously demonstrated, and the mechanism of action of ethanol was ...
Effects of curing time and filler concentration on curing and postcuring of urethane dimethacrylate composites: A microcalorimetric study
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998-05)
The isothermal enthalpy changes with time of a dental composite were examined by microcalorimetry to isolate the effects of different filler concentrations and curing times on chemical aging of these composites. Urethane ...
Open pore biodegradable matrices formed with gas foaming
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998-12-05)
Engineering tissues utilizing biodegradable polymer matrices is a promising approach to the treatment of a number of diseases. However, processing techniques utilized to fabricate these matrices typically involve organic ...
Cytotoxicity of urethane dimethacrylate composites before and after aging and leaching
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998-02)
The in vitro cytotoxicity of urethane dimethacrylate composites cured at different times by visible light and after different aging times and extraction treatments was evaluated using succinic dehydrogenase activity in ...
Prevention of calcification of glutaraldehyde-crosslinked porcine aortic cusps by ethanol preincubation: Mechanistic studies of protein structure and water–biomaterial relationships
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998-06-15)
Clinical usage of bioprosthetic heart valves (BPHVs) fabricated from glutaraldehyde-pretreated porcine aortic valves is restricted due to calcification-related failure. We previously reported a highly efficacious ethanol ...
Poly- L -lysine amplification of protamine immobilization and heparin adsorption
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998-11)
We previously reported the development of a cellulose fiber based blood filter device containing immobilized protamine (termed protamine filter) that could be used to control both heparin- and protamine-induced complications ...
Engineering smooth muscle tissue with a predefined structure
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998-08)
Nonwoven meshes of polyglycolic acid (PGA) fibers are attractive synthetic extracellular matrices (ECMs) for tissue engineering and have been used to engineer many types of tissues. However, these synthetic ECMs lack ...
