The Incorporation Of Glass-Ceramic Implants In Bone After Surface Conditioning Glow-Discharge Treatment, C. M. Muller-Mai, C. Voigt, R. E. Baier, U. M. Gross
Cells and Materials
Glow discharge (GD)-treated and autoclaved glass-ceramics of bone-bonding and non-bonding type were implanted into the femoral diaphysis of rats for 3, 7, 14 and 28 days and were investigated by applying light microscopy and histomorphometry , and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. More bone and chondroid, and faster osteoid development were observed at glow-discharge treated implants even in nonbonding implants when compared to autoclaved controls. Ultrastructural investigations showed a higher leach ing- rate of GD-treated bone-bonding implants during the early days after implantation leading to a higher rugosity, whereas no morphological changes were observed on non-bonding implant surfaces. More extracellular …
A Model For A Model: Pressure Jackets On Nude Mice With Implants Of Hypertrophic Scars, C. Ward Kischer, Jana Pindur
A Model For A Model: Pressure Jackets On Nude Mice With Implants Of Hypertrophic Scars, C. Ward Kischer, Jana Pindur
Cells and Materials
The hypertrophic scar, a consequence of deep surface injury, is peculiar to humankind. Subcutaneous implants of these tissues in nude mice provide a quasi - animal model for experimental use. An efficacious treatment to promote acceleration of maturation of the hypertrophic scar is controlled topical pressure produced by flexible dacron fabric wraps. Implants in the nude mouse provide a model for study of the effects of pressure. Preliminary results indicate that those implants in nude mice, responding favorably to pressure jackets, show changes consistent with those previously obtained in human studies. The collagen matrix shows reduced density and parallel layering …
