  1. 11. Chemical stability of grain boundariesin β-tricalcium phosphate ceramics : β-TCP as bone substitute material

    University essay from Institutionen för kemi - Ångström

    Author : Mirja Olsson; [2012]
    Keywords : grain boundaries; β-tricalcium phosphate; ceramics;

    Abstract : β – Tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP, Ca3(PO4)2) is a commonly used bone substitute material due to its biocompatibility and resorption. This study focused on the production of almost fully dense β-TCP ceramics with varying degrees of impurities (Ca/PO4 ratio, addition of 5% Mg). READ MORE

  3. 12. Inflammatory studies on bone cement

    University essay from Institutionen för teknikvetenskaper; Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Asha Modugu; [2012]
    Keywords : Bone cements; Calcium Phosphate cements; Simvastatin; RAW 264.7 cells; Macrophages; ROS; Inflammation;

    Abstract : Simvastatin, a cholesterol lowering drug, has the capacity to stimulate bone formation along with having anti-inflammatory effects. Incorporating simvastatin to the calcium phosphate cement would result in slow release of the drug stimulating bone formation and by preventing a local inflammation and bone resorption. READ MORE

  4. 13. Evaluation of blood interactions with a drug loaded protein matrix

    University essay from Tillämpad Fysik

    Author : Maria Wallstedt; [2011]
    Keywords : titanium; implant; bisphosphonates; coagulation; platelet adhesion;

    Abstract : Many things might happen in the body when a titanium implant is inserted into bone. Examples are activation of the immune system and imbalance between bone formation and bone resorption, which might lead to damaged bone around the implant and at worse, loosening of the implant.

  5. 14. Magnesium chloride in dry cow silage to prevent hypocalcaemia

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Mikaela Jardstedt; [2011]
    Keywords : dairy cow; parturient paresis; hypomagnesaemia; metabolic alkalosis; dietary cation anion difference;

    Abstract : Milk fever, or parturient paresis, is the second most common disease in Swedish dairy cows. The disorder is associated with the onset of lactation when some cows are unable to meet the metabolic demands of calcium to support milk production and therefore develop a state of hypocalcaemia.

  6. 15. The effect of redoxmodulation on osteoclastogenesis

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Sara Witte; [2010]
    Keywords : morfologi;

    Abstract : During osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption the redox status in the cell display a decrease in reduction and a shift to an oxidized state. Structure, metabolism and function are some of the extensive changes that cells undergo during differentiation which alters both the extra- and intracellular redox environment. READ MORE
