Abstract

It is difficult to quantitatively evaluate adhesive strength between an implant and the neighboring bone using animal experiments, because the degree of fixation of an implant depends on differences between individuals and the clearance between the material and the bone resulting from surgical technique. A system was designed in which rat bone marrow cells were used to quantitatively evaluate the adhesion between titanium alloy plates and bone plates in vitro. Three kinds of surface treatment were used: a sand-blasted surface, a titanium-sprayed surface and a titanium-sprayed surface coated with hydroxyapatite. Bone marrow cells obtained from rat femora were seeded on the titanium alloy plates, and the cells were cultured between the titanium alloy plates and the bone plates sliced from porcine ilium for 2 weeks. After cultivation, adhesive strength was measured using a tensile test, after which DNA amount and Alkaline phosphatase activity were measured. The seeded cells accelerated adhesion of the titanium alloy plate to the bone plate. Adhesive strength of the titanium-sprayed surface was lower than that of the sand-blasted surface because of lower initial contact area, although there was no difference in Alkaline phosphatase...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
