Aim. This study aimed to assess shear bond strength (SBS) of resin cement to zirconia ceramic with different surface treatments by using Single Bond Universal. Methods. In this in vitro study, 50 zirconia discs (2 × 6 mm) were divided into 5 groups of (I) sandblasting with silica-coated alumina (CoJet)  + silane + Single Bond 2, (II) sandblasting with CoJet + Single Bond Universal, (III) sandblasting with alumina + Single Bond Universal, (IV) sandblasting with alumina + Z-Prime Plus, and (V) Single Bond Universal with no surface treatment. Resin cement was applied in plastic tubes (3 × 5 mm2), and after 10,000 thermal cycles, the SBS was measured by a universal testing machine. The mode of failure was determined under a stereomicroscope at × 40 magnification. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. Results. The maximum (6.56 ± 4.29 MPa) and minimum (1.94 ± 1.96 MPa) SBS values were noted in groups III and I, respectively. Group III had the highest frequency of mixed failure (60%). Group V had the maximum frequency of adhesive failure (100%). Conclusion. Single Bond Universal + sandblasting with alumina or silica-coated alumina particles is an acceptable method to provide a strong SBS between resin cement and zirconia.

  Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effect of application of two types of zirconia primers on repair bond strength of composite to zirconia ceramic. Materials and Methods: In this in vitro, experimental study, 60 zirconia blocks were divided into five groups and subjected to the application of Z-Prime Plus (ZPP), Monobond Plus (MBP), Porcelain Bonding Resin (PBR), ZPP followed by PBR (ZPP+PBR) and MBP followed by PBR (MBP+PBR). They were then bonded to Z100 composite. The samples were then immersed in water at 37°C for 24 hours, thermocycled for 1000 cycles between 5-55°C and subjected to shear bond strength (SBS) test. The mode of failure was determined under a stereomicroscope and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results: The mean bond strength was the highest in ZPP+PBR group followed by MBP+PBR, ZPP, PBR and MBP group (22.29±8.86, 15.75±2.81, 12.02±3.24, 3.60±2.92 and 2.92±1.78 MPa, respectively). The effects of type of zirconia primer and use/no use of PBR on SBS were significant (P<0.05). The frequency of adhesive failure in MBP and PBR groups was significantly higher than that in MBP+PBR and ZPP+PBR groups (P<0.05). The cohesive failure was significantly more frequent in ZPP+PBR group than in ZPP, MBP and PBR groups (P<0.05). Conclusion: Simultaneous application of zirconia primer and PBR is the most efficient technique for repair of all-ceramic zirconia restorations with composite resin.

Hyperthermia Treatment

Ni-Cu nanoparticles have been synthesized by reducing Ni and Cu from metal precursors using a sol–gel route followed by annealing at 300 °C for 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, and 10 h for controlled self-regulating magnetic hyperthermia applications. Particle morphology and crystal structure revealed spherical nanoparticles with a cubic structure and an average size of 50, 60, 53, 87, and 87 nm for as-made and annealed samples at 300 °C for 1, 3, 6, and 10 h, respectively. Moreover, hysteresis loops indicated ferromagnetic behavior with saturation magnetization (Ms) ranging from 13–20 emu/g at 300 K. Additionally, Zero-filed cooled and field cooled (ZFC-FC) curves revealed that each sample contains superparamagnetic nanoparticles with a blocking temperature (TB) of 196–260 K. Their potential use for magnetic hyperthermia was tested under the therapeutic limits of an alternating magnetic field. The samples exhibited a heating rate ranging from 0.1 to 1.7 °C/min and a significant dissipated heating power measured as a specific absorption rate (SAR) of 6–80 W/g. The heating curves saturated after reaching the Curie temperature (Tc), ranging from 30–61 °C within the therapeutic temperature limit. An in vitro cytotoxicity test of these Ni-Cu samples in biological tissues was performed via exposing human breast cancer MDA-MB231 cells to a gradient of concentrations of the sample with 53 nm particles (annealed at 300 °C for 3 h) and reviewing their cytotoxic effects. For low concentrations, this sample showed no toxic effects to the cells, revealing its biocompatibility to be used in the future for in vitro/in vivo magnetic hyperthermia treatment of cancer.

The Impact

The control of surface bioadhesive properties of the subcutaneous implants is essential for the development of biosensors and controlled drug release devices. Poly(alkyl ethylene phosphate)-based (co)polymers are structurally versatile, biocompatible and biodegradable, and may be regarded as an alternative to poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) copolymers in the creation of antiadhesive materials. The present work reports the synthesis of block copolymers of ε-caprolactone (εCL) and 2-ethoxy-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane-2-oxide (ethyl ethylene phosphate, EtOEP) with different content of EtOEP fragments, preparation of polymer films, and the results of the study of the impact of EtOEP/εCL ratio on the hydrophilicity (contact angle of wetting), hydrolytic stability, cytotoxicity, protein and cell adhesion, and cell proliferation using umbilical cord multipotent stem cells. It was found that the increase of EtOEP/εCL ratio results in increase of hydrophilicity of the polymer films with lowering of the protein and cell adhesion. MTT cytotoxicity test showed no significant deviations in toxicity of poly(εCL) and poly(εCL)-b-poly(EtOEP)-based films. The influence of the length of poly(EtOEP)chain in block-copolymers on fibrotic reactions was analyzed using subcutaneous implantation experiments (Wistar line rats), the increase of the width of the fibrous capsule correlated with higher EtOEP/εCL ratio. However, the copolymer-based film with highest content of polyphosphate had been subjected to faster degradation with a formation of developed contact surface of poly(εCL). The rate of the degradation of polyphosphate in vivo was significantly higher than the rate of the degradation of polyphosphate in vitro, which only confirms an objective value of in vivo experiments in the development of polymer materials for biomedical applications.

Aisi 316L Stainless Steel

This study investigates the in vitro corrosion and cytotoxicity response of AISI 316L stainless steel produced by powder injection molding (PIM) technology in a solution that simulates physiological fluids (MEM) by electrochemical techniques and neutral red uptake cytotoxicity assay. The results were compared with those of AISI 316L produced by conventional metallurgy. Both steels showed high corrosion resistance and no toxic effect in the cytotoxicity test. The corrosion products were analyzed by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). The surfaces of the alloys were evaluated before and after corrosion test by scanning electron microscopy and a passive behaviour was indicated supporting the results from other techniques.

Cellulase Hydrolysis

The biocompatibility of the cellulose nanowhisker (CNW) from cellulase hydrolysis was evaluated in vitro for potential applications in drug delivery system. The assessments were comprised of cytotoxicity analysis and proliferation of human osteosarcoma MG-63 cells that were cultured with the resultant CNW. Some morphological and physico-chemical characteristics of the CNW were investigated. The cellulase hydrolysis conditions were optimized at a cellulase dosage of 0.01 mL/g dried fibers, a hydrolysis temperature of 60 °C, hydrolysis time of 3 h and bamboo fiber concentration of 2 wt%. Under these conditions, the as-prepared CNW retained more properties similar to the original bamboo fibers than those fabricated by sulfuric acid hydrolysis. Indirect cytotoxicity test of the CNW revealed it non-toxicity to the cells. The proliferation of the MG-63 cells with the CNW from cellulase hydrolysis was better than that from sulfuric acid hydrolysis. These results together with the fact that the cellulose hydrolysis preparation of CNW is simple and inexpensive make it a good candidate for the design of oral drug delivery device.
