Abstract
This study investigated the concept of using plates to attach endoprostheses to bone after segmental resection for bone tumours in an animal model. Titanium alloy plates integrated with the prosthesis and coated with hydroxyapatite were attached to bone by screws. This type of uncemented fixation relied on the induction of periosteal bone formation into and around the plates to secure the implant to bone. Two, three, and six-slotted plate designs were investigated. On retrieval, each plate was securely fixed by new bone. Bone apposition on the external surface of the plates occurred through a combination of periosteal bone production, invasion of bone through slots in the plate, and bone growth over the ends of the plates. Most plates became incorporated into a remodelled cortex. Higher bone turnover rates (microm day(-1)) were seen in bone in the slots of the plate compared with normal cortical bone turnover (p < 0.05). Significantly higher rates of turnover were measured beneath slotted parts of the plates compared with regions below the unslotted parts (p < 0.05). The cross-sectional area of bone surrounding the six-plate implant design was significantly higher than that of the three-plate (p < 0.05) and two-plate (p < 0.05) designs. In addition, significantly more bone formed adjacent to the six-plated implant design compared with that in the contralateral limb (p = 0.002). However, no significant difference was found when the total cortical area around the three-plated design was compared with that of the contralateral limb (p = 0.63). In contrast, significantly less bone was measured adjacent to the two-plate design than in the untreated limb (p = 0.001). Image analysis also demonstrated increased cortical porosity adjacent to the six-plate design compared with the three-plate (p = 0.004) and two-plate (p < 0.05) designs. Finite element analysis demonstrated that the six and three-plate designs increased the second moment of area compared with that in the left tibia (p = 0.003 and 0.066, respectively). However, the attachment of the more flexible two-plate design did not significantly increase the second moment of area compared with that in the contralateral limb (p = 0.235). It was concluded that due to both mechanical and biological effects, the hydroxyapatite-coated plate designs generated new bone that enhanced fixation and encouraged plate integration into the load-bearing structure of the cortex. This method of fixation may be an alternative to the use of intramedullary cemented stems in patients requiring bone tumour implants and may be the only way to preserve the joint in difficult cases where only short segments of bone remain.

Abstract
In the area of orthopaedic implants, particularly total hip joint replacements, a metal-plastic combination is still the most popular choice consisting of a femoral head fabricated from 316L stainless steel, Ti alloy or Co-Cr alloy in contact with an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPD) acetabular cup. It is recently considered that wear of the UHMWPE cup is of major concern. Generation of the wear debris can have adverse effects on the body, both localized and systemic. It is envisaged that wear of the prosthetic components, particularly those fabricated from UHMWPE can be reduced through the use of surface coatings. The aim of this investigation was to deposit a selection of refractory element nitride-based coatings (TiN, TiA1N, ZrN) onto 316L stainless steel substrates, using physical vapour deposition (PVD) technology and to study their sliding wear behaviour in contact with both UHMWPE and 316L stainless steel pins, using a pin-on-plate testing rig. Tests were conducted in Ringers solution and Ringers solution plus bone cement particles. The volume of material removed from the pins served as an indication of their wear behaviour. Wear mechanisms were identified using scanning electron microscopy. The results of these findings and the potential for these coatings to be used in orthopaedic applications are discussed.

Abstract
The present study investigated the external and the internal biomechanical responses of anterior cervical discectomy coupled with fusion. Five different types of interbody fusion materials were used: titanium core, titanium cage, tricortical iliac crest, tantalum core, and tantalum cage. Two different types of surgical procedures were analyzed: Smith-Robinson and Bailey-Badgley. A validated three-dimensional anatomically accurate finite element model of the human cervical spine was used in the study. The finite element model was exercised in compression, flexion, extension, and lateral bending for the intact case and for the two surgical procedures with five implant materials. The external response in terms of the stiffness and angular rotation, and the internal response in terms of the disc and the vertebral stresses were determined. The Smith-Robinson technique resulted in the highest increase in external response under all modes of loading for all implant materials. In contrast, the Bailey-Badgley technique produced a higher increase in the disc and the vertebral body stresses than the Smith-Robinson technique. As experimental human cadaver tests can only determine the external response of the non-fused spine simulating immediate post-operative structure, the present finite element studies assist in the understanding of biomechanics of interbody fusion by delineating the changes in the extrinsic and intrinsic characteristics of the cervical spine components due to surgery.

Abstract
Three new titanium alloys with Zr, Nb, Ta, Pd and In as alloying elements were developed and compared with currently used implant metals, namely, pure Ti and Ti-6Al-4V alloy, in terms of mechanical and corrosion properties, and cytotoxicity. New alloys showed comparable mechanical properties with that of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy, but increased corrosion potential, somewhat decreased breakdown potential and increased corrosion rate. There were no significant differences in cell growth on the surface of the various metal specimens, indicating that the cells cannot differentiate between the passivated surfaces of the various Ti metals.

Abstract
The fracture behavior of cast two types of pure Ti and Ti-6Al-4V alloy was understood by acoustic emission (AE) analysis during a fracture toughness test. Specimens for test were cast by the lost wax method using a specially designed Ti casting machine of pressure-different method for dental use. A fatigue crack was inserted from the machined notch tip into the body of a specimen in the range of 0.45-0.55 a/W. Acoustic emission signals released during the fracture toughness test were detected by two sensors attached to both ends of the specimen. Then the signals were recorded and analysed by the PAC 3000/3104 system. From the early stage of the fracture toughness test, AE signals started to be released in all types of specimens tested. A reaction layer with the investment materials of about 50-100 microns was thought to be the result of the AE release from an early stage of the fracture toughness test. A microfracture behavior of the cast pure Ti and Ti alloys was proposed based on the results obtained from the AE releasing pattern and fracture surface findings.

Abstract
Plain film radiography and computed tomography (CT) were evaluated in assessing the consolidation of experimental craniotomy lines covered with titanium miniplates or biodegradable self-reinforced poly-L-lactide (SR-PLLA) plates. Two sagittal (2.3-2.5 mm wide and 22 mm long) symmetrical craniotomy lines were made in the skulls of eight young sheep. One craniotomy line was covered with a biodegradable SR-PLLA plate and the other with a titanium miniplate. Both plates were fixed with four titanium miniscrews. Consolidation of the osteotomies was studied using plain film radiography and CT 6, 12, 20, and 52 weeks postoperatively. Microradiography and histology were used for reference. Plain film was not reliable in assessing osseous consolidation because false-positive results were obtained in three osteotomies. Osseous consolidation was more reliably assessed by CT, which showed consolidation on the SR-PLLA side within 20 weeks, whereas none of the titanium-plated lines was consolidated by 52 weeks. Superior consolidation under the resorbable plate was confirmed in histology and microradiography. The radiolucent SR-PLLA plates did not interfere with CT, whereas the titanium plates caused minor CT artifacts.

Abstract
We evaluated the effects of a serum protein coating on prosthetic infection in 29 adult male rabbits divided into three groups: control, albumin-coated and uncoated. We used 34 grit-blasted, commercially pure titanium implants. Eleven were coated with cross-linked albumin. All the implants were exposed to a suspension of Staphylococcus epidermidis before implantation. Our findings showed that albumin-coated implants had a much lower infection rate (27%) than the uncoated implants (62%). This may be a useful method of reducing the infection of prostheses.

Abstract
The in vitro marginal fit of three all-ceramic crown systems (In-Ceram, Procera, and IPS Empress) was compared. All crown systems were significantly different from each other at P = 0.05. In-Ceram exhibited the greatest marginal discrepancy (161 microns), followed by Procera (83 microns), and IPS Empress (63 microns). There were no significant differences among the various stages of the crown fabrication: core fabrication, porcelain veneering, and glazing. The facial and lingual margins exhibited significantly larger marginal discrepancies than the mesial and distal margins.

Abstract
We inserted, in 8 dogs, implants with either porous-coated or grit-blasted titanium surface and coated with hydroxyapatite (HA) into trabecular bone in the proximal humerus, using a 1 mm gap model. After 25 weeks, push-out tests showed that energy absorption for porous-coated implants was twice that of grit-blasted implants, whereas shear stiffness was reduced by one fifth, indicating a stronger fixation of porous-coated implants. Macroscopically, all grit-blasted implants had delamination of the HA coating, whereas porous implants failed mostly at the HA-tissue interface. Porous-coated implants had 47% bone ingrowth and grit-blasted implants 70% (p = 0.02), however, no difference in absolute surface area was found. Part of the HA coating was resorbed during the implantation period as regards volume and thickness. HA coverage was more reduced on porous-coated than on grit-blasted implants (p = 0.01). No foreign-body reaction or osteolysis was seen. An important finding was that one fifth of the surface with complete resorption of HA coating was replaced by newly formed bone.

Abstract
Our group is developing a left ventricular assist device based on the principle of the Maillard-Wankel rotative compressor: it is a rotary, not centrifugal, pump that produces a pulsatile flow. Stringent requirements have been defined for construction materials. They must be light, yet sufficiently hard and rigid, and able to be machined with high precision. The friction coefficient must be low and the wear resistance high. The materials must be chemically inert and not deformable. Also, the materials must be biocompatible, and the blood contacting surface must be hemocompatible. We assessed the materials in terms of physiochemistry, mechanics, and tribology to select the best for hemocompatibility (determined by studies of protein adsorption; platelet, leukocyte, and red cell retention; and hemolysis, among other measurements) and biocompatibility (determined by measurement of complement activation and toxicity, among other criteria). Of the materials tested, for short- and middle-term assistance, we chose titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) and alumina ceramic (Al2O3) and for long-term and permanent use, composite materials (TiN coating on graphite). We saw that the polishing process of the substrate must be improved. For the future, the best coating material would be diamond-like carbon (DLC) or crystalline diamond coating.

Abstract
By means of the metallurgical method of alloying, the thermal expansion coefficient of commercially pure titanium was adapted to that of hydroxyapatite (HA) in order to produce a tailored composite material with a maximum adhesion strength of HA to the metallic material. The alloying element chosen was manganese, which is an important trace element in the human organism. With the alloy TiMn6 a good compromise concerning the expansion coefficient, the mechanical properties and the biocompatible behaviour was found. With this alloy coatings with an extremely high adhesion strength could be produced, especially when the sol-gel process was used for HA precipitation. In addition, these layers fulfil the requirements of favourable thin coatings according to theoretical considerations.

Abstract
Bioactive coatings on titanium can be prepared by dispersing hydroxyapatite particles into a borosilicate glass enamel doped with TiO2. Adhesion of the coating is obtained when the titanium substrate has been preoxidized before enameling in such a way as to form a continuous TiO2-layer. Adhesion results from the diffusion of this TiO2-layer into the liquid glass during enameling. The evolution of the diffusion zone was followed by scanning electron microscopy and electron probe microanalysis. Adhesion disappears after a critical time of firing which corresponds to the completion of the dissolution of the TiO2-layer by the glass. The borosilicate glass wets the hydroxyapatite particles and adheres strongly to them after cooling.

Abstract
Titanium and its alloys are increasingly important in dentistry. Thin titanium-nitride (Ti-N) coatings improve the properties of metallic material for industrial purposes. Recently Ti-N coatings have been advocated in dentistry. In a survey of literature aspects of biological, mechanical and corrosive behaviour are assessed. Moreover, specific problems for clinical application are indicated. It is concluded that as long as the integrity of the Ti-N coating is not guaranteed under critical conditions one should be cautious with its clinical application. By no means it can be used for improvement of deficient dental alloys.

Abstract
A wet oxidation is considered to be one of the most effective methods of waste processing and recycling in CELSS (Controlled Ecological Life Support System). The first test using rabbit waste as raw material was conducted under a decomposition temperature of 280 degrees C for 30 minutes and an initial pure oxygen pressure of 4.9 MPa (50 kgf/cm2) before heating, and the following results were obtained. The value of COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) was reduced 82.5% by the wet oxidation. And also the Kjeldahl nitrogen concentration was decreased 98.8%. However, the organic carbon compound in the residual solution was almost acetic acid and ammonia was produced. In order to activate the oxidation more strongly, the second tests using catalysts such as Pd, Ru and Ru+Rh were conducted. As the results of these tests, the effectiveness of catalysts for oxidizing raw material was shown as follows: COD and the Kjeldahl nitrogen values were drastically decreased 99.65% and 99.88%, respectively. Furthermore, the quantity of acetic acid and ammonia were reduced considerably. On the other hand, nitrate was showed a value 30 times as much as without catalytic oxidation.

Abstract
Advanced laparoscopic techniques require laparoscopic means of providing hemostasis. We tested the hemostatic ability of laparoscopic surgical clips and their tissue reactivity as assessed by adhesion formation in an animal model. Twenty-six New Zealand white rabbits were randomized at laparotomy to one of three treatment groups: titanium surgical clips, absorbable surgical clips (both applied with a laparoscopic clip applicator) and chromic sutures of equal mass. Either the right fallopian tube was transected, with clips or sutures applied proximally and distally to control bleeding, or the clips or sutures were applied 5 mm apart and the tube transected. A clip or suture of the same material was placed on the midportion of the left fallopian tube. Necropsy was performed at 42 days, and each clip/suture site was scored for adhesions. All the materials were easily applied and effective in achieving hemostasis. The adhesion scores tended to be lower with the absorbable clips; however, there were no statistically significant differences between the groups. Laparoscopic clips are effective in providing hemostasis, are easily applied and cause no more adhesion formation than do conventional suture materials.

Abstract
A study of 60 femoral prosthetic components removed after 1-20 years allowed us to study the behaviour of the metallic surface in real life conditions. Changes were observed exclusively in cemented prostheses. They consisted of corrosion phenomena characteristic of the components of steel EN 58 J and 316 S, and wear phenomena secondary to mobilisation. The latter were observed in steel components as well as in those in Co-Cr alloy. The areas of corrosion in the steel prostheses were characteristically distributed, indicating a combination of causal factors, including an insufficient capacity of passivation of the metal and the particular situation of the cement-to-metal interface.
