Introduction: S epidermidis is a recognised major biofilm pathogen and has been implicated in medical device contamination ranging from artificial hip prostheses to breast implants. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a known pathogen in chronic wounds. Within biofilms, bacteria are enclosed in a polymeric matrix or EPS which cements the bacteria to each other and to the surface. Biofilms act to protect the bacteria from the environment increasing resistance to host immunity, antibiotics and biocides. More recently, we have shown that biofilm occurs on the surface of chronic wounds and that this may have aetiological implications.M...

Response to chronic exposure to hexavalent chromium in human monocytes.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Elevated circulating levels of metal ions, particularly chromium, have been measured in the blood of patients with metal hip implants, and this has lead to concerns about the long term safety of the prostheses. For example, depletion of lymphocytes has been reported in vivo in patients with metallic prostheses, and correlated with elevated chromium and cobalt concentrations in blood. However, the implications for immune function are unclear. We have assessed the in vitro responses of U937 human monocytes to chronic exposure (4 weeks) to Cr (VI) ions at concentrations which have been measured in patients with metal arti...

Wear resistance of artificial hip joints with poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) grafted polyethylene: Comparisons with the effect of polyethylene cross-linking and ceramic femoral heads.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We reported here that grafting with a polymer, poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC)) (PMPC), on the PE liner surface dramatically decreased the wear production under a hip joint simulator condition. We examined that the effect of properties of both PE by cross-linking and femoral head by changing the materials on wearing properties of PE. The PMPC grafting on the liners increased hydrophilicity and decreased friction torque, regardless of the cross-linking of the PE liner or the difference in the femoral head materials. During the hip joint simulator experiments (5x10(6) cycles of loading), cross-linking cau...

Alternatives, such as paying a fixed annual rate for each patient, also have been criticized because it could give providers "an incentive to withhold potentially helpful treatments," according to the Journa...

Hip Prostheses Safely FixedEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Artificial hip joints are firmly anchored to the patient's damaged bone by screws. But which parts of the bone will safely hold the screws in place? A simulation model is to calculate the strength of the bone from computer tomography images. Hip prostheses do not hold forever. If an implant comes loose, the doctors have to replace it. Most patients need this second operation after about 15 years. By then, the first prosthesis has often worn down the pelvic bone in several places.

Aseptic loosening of the artificial hip joint with osteolysis due to the wear particles from polyethylene cup has remained as a serious issue. To reduce this wear and develop a novel artificial hip joint system, we produced a superlubricious metal-bearing material: for this, we grafted a 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) polymer onto the surface of a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo) alloy. For ensuring long-term benefit retention of poly(MPC) on the Co-Cr-Mo alloy for application as a novel artificial hip joint system, several issues must be considered: strong bonding between poly(MPC) and Co-Cr-Mo su...
