L’objectif de ce travail a été d’introduire des groupements fonctionnels au sein de chaînes polymère silicone pour former des assemblages supramoléculaires, dans le but de former de nouveaux matériaux. Tout d’abord, une étude approfondie de la bibliographie a permis de cerner les avantages et limitations de la réaction d’aza-Michael appliquée aux silicones. Cette étude a aussi permis d’acquérir de solides connaissances générales sur la réaction d’aza-Michael appliquée à des composés organiques aminé et de soulever des points peu ou pas traités tels que la sélectivité et la réversibilité de la réaction. Afin de comprendre et contrôler cette réaction, une étude modèle impliquant un PDMS aminé simple et l’acrylate de butyle a été réalisée. Plusieurs paramètres tels que la présence de solvants polaires protiques, de catalyseurs, ou une température élevée permettent de promouvoir la réaction. Des données cinétiques ont également mis en relief la possibilité de contrôler la sélectivité de la réaction sur un groupement amine primaire (mono- ou di-addition). Un composé 100% mono-adduit et un composé 100% di-adduit ont ainsi été synthétisé en choisissant soigneusement les paramètres expérimentaux. La réaction d’aza-Michael a ensuité été appliquée à un accepteur de Michael moins réactif, l’acide acrylique. Ce composé a la particularité de réagir instantanément et exothermiquement avec les amines par réaction acido-basique. Un déplacement de l’équilibre chimique de la réaction acido-basique vers la formation d’adduits de Michael a été rendu possible, générant ainsi des groupements zwitterioniques. Une étude approfondie de la réaction avec des amines organiques et des oligomères/polymères siliciés et aminés a été réalisée afin de déterminer la structure exacte des groupements fonctionnels obtenus et d’évaluer les propriétés visco-élastiques de tels produits. La dernière partie de ce projet a été focalisée sur l’étude et la caractérisation de ces matériaux silicones supramoléculaires s’échelonnant du liquide visco-élastique à l’élastomère silicone thermoplastique. / This PhD thesis was focused on the incorporation of functional groups onto the siloxane polymer backbone such that supramolecular assemblies are formed, in order to prepare new supramolecular silicone materials. First, an in-depth review of the aza-Michael reaction applied to silicon-containing compounds was realized, highlighting the whole potential of this addition reaction. The aza-Michael reaction applied to organic amines was thoroughly analyzed in order to emphasize some open issues such as selectivity or retro-aza-Michael reaction. In order to understand and master the aza-Michael reaction, a model reaction involving a bis-(3-aminopropyl)-terminated PDMS and butylacrylate was then fully investigated. Operating parameters such as protic polar solvents, catalysts or temperature allow promoting the reaction rate. Kinetic data showed that the selectivity towards the main formation of mono- or di-adduct can be controlled by carefully selecting the solvent nature and content. The syntheses of 100% mono- and 100% di-adduct compounds was succesfully achieved. The aza-Michael reaction was then applied to a less reactive Michael acceptor, i.e. acrylic acid. This unsaturated organic acid reacts instantaneously with amines by acid-base reaction leading to the formation of ionic pairs. This acid-base equilibrium is then shifted in the forward direction allowing the synthesis of zwitterionic groups by aza-Michael. The aza-Michael reaction of this peculiar Michael acceptor was thoroughly investigated both with simple organic amines and aminosilicone oligomers and polymers in order to elucidate the structures and to evaluate the rheological properties. Finally, supramolecular silicone materials bearing zwitterionic-like groups were prepared leading to supramolecular materials with properties ranging from visco-elastic liquids to thermoplastic silicone elastomers.

<p>Najče&scaron;ća komplikacija nakon ugradnje silikonskih implantata za dojku je kontraktura fibrozne kapsule (KK), koja se normalno stvara oko implantata u sklopu reakcije oko stranog tela. Najozbiljnija komplikacija nakon ugradnje silikonskih implantata za dojku je anaplastični krupnoćelijski limfom koji se javlja isključivo kod pacijentkinja koje imaju ugraĎene implantate (eng. Breast-implant associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma &ndash; BIA ALCL). Uzrok nastanka ovih komplikacija ostaje nepoznat. Ustanovljeno je da se KK manje javlja kod implantata koji imaju makroteksturisanu povr&scaron;inu i kod onih koji su presvučeni poliuretanskom penom. S druge strane, BIA-ALCL se če&scaron;će dijagnostikuje kod pacijentkinja kojima su ugraĎeni upravo makroteksturisani implantati. Subklinička infekcija koja predstavlja odgovor organizma na postojanje biofilma na ugraĎenim implantatima, predstavlja jedan od najznačajnijih etiolo&scaron;kih faktora za nastanak KK i BIA-ALCL. Biofilm je konglomerat mirkoorganizama uronjenih u matriks koji ih &scaron;titi od dejstva antibiotika i antiseptika. Kako je nemoguće delovati medikamentozno na eradikaciju biofilma, brojni autori daju razne preporuke u cilju izbegavanja kontaminacije implantata tokom operativnog zahvata, a time i formiranja biofilma. Pored brojnih mera, savetuje se i ispiranje džepa u koji će se plasirati proteza kao i same proteze, nekim od antiseptičkih ili antibiotskih rastvora. Do sada ne postoje prihvaćene jasne preporuke o načinu ispiranja različitih implantata, objavljena su samo lična iskustva raznih autora. Ciljevi ovog istraživanja su bili da se ustanovi mogućnost formiranja biofilma četiri različite bakterije (Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa i Ralstonia pickettii) na tri različito teksturisana silikonska implantata za dojku (sa porama veličine 70-150 &mu;m, 50&ndash;900 &mu;m i 13 &mu;m) u in vitro uslovima; da se ispita da li ispiranje antisepticima (oktenidindihidrohloridom i povidon jodom), ili antibiotikom (cefuroksimom) ili istovremeno me&scaron;avinom povidon joda i antibiotika pre bakterijske kontaminacije sa četiri različite bakterije ima uticaja na formiranje biofilma na tri različito teksturisana implantata za dojke u in vitro uslovima; i da se ispita efekat antiseptika u odnosu na efekat antibiotika na formiranje bakterijskog biofilma na tri različito teksturisana silikonska implantata za dojku. Istraživanje je koncipirano kao prospektivna studija u vidu eksperimenta koji je izveden u Laboratoriji za mikrobiologiju, Instituta za javno zdravlje Vojvodine u Novom Sadu. Za izvoĎenje eksperimenta kori&scaron;ćeni su uzorci tri vrste silikonskih implantata za dojku sa različito teksturisanom povr&scaron;inom, odnosno porama različite veličine: 70-150 &mu;m, 50&ndash;900 &mu;m, i 13 &mu;m. Od svakog od navedenih implantata su pravljeni uzorci, sečenjem kapsula implantata na komadiće veličine 1x1 cm. Ukupno je bilo 1440 uzoraka. Na osnovu teksture uzorci su podeljeni u tri grupe: Grupa 1 (pore veličine 70-150 &mu;m), Grupa 2 (pore veličine 50&ndash;900 &mu;m) i Grupa 3 (pore veličine 13 &mu;m). Svaka od ovih grupa je dalje podeljena u jednu kontrolnu grupu i po četiri ispitivane grupe. Nakon sterilizacije uzoraka svaka kontrolna grupa je kontaminirana sa po 100&mu;l bakterijskog bujona Staphylococcus epidermidis (n=30), Staphylococcus aureus (n=30), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n=30) i Ralstonia pickettii (n=30). Ispitivane grupe se bile podeljene prema načinima ispiranja na one u kojima su uzorci prvo ispirani: oktenidin &ndash; dihidrohloridom ili povidon jodom ili cefuroksimom ili kombinacijom povidon joda i dva antibiotika, pa potom kontaminirani sa po 100&mu;l bakterijskog bujona Staphylococcus epidermidis (n=30), Staphylococcus aureus (n=30), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n=30) i Ralstonia pickettii (n=30). Po zavr&scaron;enoj kontaminaciji, uzorci su se inkubirali na temperaturi od 37&deg;C u trajanju od 96h, čime su stvoreni uslovi za formiranje biofilma. Nakon inkubacije, svaki pojedinačni uzorak je uronjen u sterilan tripton soja bujon, izlagan soničnoj energiji u trajanju od 1minuta i zatim vorteksiran 1 minut, čime je omogućeno odvajanje nastalog biofilma od implantata. Za ispitivanje sposobnosti formiranja biofilma kori&scaron;ćena je modifikovana tehnika sa mikrotitar pločom po Stepanoviću. Rezultati su pokazali da sve četiri ispitivane bakterije S. epidermidis, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa i Ralstonia pickettii statistički značajno vi&scaron;e stvaraju biofilm na implantatima sa porama veličine 50&ndash;900 &mu;m u odnosu na pore 70-150 &mu;m i u odnosu na pore veličine 13 &mu;m. Biofilm se statistički značajno vi&scaron;e stvara na porama veličine 70-150 &mu;m u odnosu na pore 13 &mu;m. Jedini izuzetak je Pseudomonas aeruginosa kod kojeg ne postoji statistični značajna razlika u produkciji biofilma na teksturisanim implantatima sa porama veličine 70-150 &mu;m u odnosu na one sa porama 13 &mu;m. TakoĎe, sve četiri ispitivane bakterije statistički značajano manje stvaraju biofilm nakon ispiranja povidon jodom, oktenidin-dihidrohloridom ili rastvorom antibiotika u sve tri grupe implantata, u odnosu na povr&scaron;ine koje nisu ispirane. Izuzetak je S. epidermidis u Grupi 3 kod kojeg nije utvrĎeno statistički značajno manje formiranje biofilma nakon ispiranja oktenidin dihidrohloridom u odnosu na neispiranje. Cefuroksim je bio efikasniji u sprečavanju formiranja biofilma sve četiri ispitivane bakterije u odnosu na neispiranje u Grupi 1, kao i za S. epidermidis i Ralstoniu Pickettii u Grupi 2. Cefuroksim se nije pokazao statistički značajno efikasnim u sprečavanju formiranja biofilma S. aureus i P. aeruginosa u Grupi 2, kao ni kod jedne bakterije u Grupi 3. Dalje je dokazano da su antiseptici (oktenidin-dihirohlorid i povidon jod) kao i me&scaron;avina povidon joda i dva antibiotika (cefuroksim i gentamicin), statistički značajno efikasnji od ispiranja samo antibiotikomcefuroksimom u smanjenju formiranja biofilma sve četiri ispitivane bakterije kod sva tri ispitivana, različito teksturisana silikonska implantata. Rezultati su pokazali da je ispiranje povidon jodom statistički značajno efikasnije u prevenciji stvaranja biofilma kod skoro svih ispitivanih bakterija od ispiranja oktenidin- dihidrohloridom u sve tri grupe implantata. Statistički značajna razlika nije utvrĎena u prevenciji stvaranja biofilma Staphylococcus aureusa kod sve tri grupe implantata prilikom ispiranja povidon jodom u odnosu na oktenidin- dihidrohlorid, kao i kod Ralsotnia pickettii u Grupi 2. Na osnovu rezultata ove studije, preporuka je da se koriste mikroteksturisani implantati kao i da se oni, pre ugradnje isperu povidon jodom ili me&scaron;avinom povidon jod i dva antibiotika (cefuroksim i gentamicin), u cilju prevencije stvaranja biofilma, a time i postoperativnih komplikacija koje mogu nastati nakon ugradnje implantata.</p> / <p>The most common complication after breast implant surgery is contracture of capsule, which is normally formed around implants as part of foreign body reaction. The most sincere complication after this kind of surgery is breast implant associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). The cause of these complications is still unknown. It is evident that capsular contracture (CC) is seen less frequently in patients with macro-textured implants and in those with implants covered with polyurethane foam. On the other hand, BIA-ALCL is diagnosed more frequently in patients with those, macro-textured implants. Subclinical infection, defined as an response of organism on presence of biofilm on the implant, is considered to be one of the most important etiologic factors for CC and BIA-ALCL. Biofilm is a conglomerate of microorganisms immersed into matrix, which protects them from influence of antibiotics and antiseptics. As it is impossible to eradicate biofilms with medicaments, many authors suggest different steps in order to avoid contamination of the implant during the operation and therefore, prevent the formation of biofilm. Among many tips, it is recommended to irrigate the pocket for breast implant and the implant itself, with some antiseptic or antibiotic solution. Up till now, there is no agreed consensus on the type of irrigation for different implants. Only personal experiences of a few authors have been published. Aims of this research were: to establish the possibility of biofilm formation of four different bacteria (Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Ralstonia pickettii) on three differently textured breast implants (with pore diameter of 70-150 &mu;m, 50&ndash;900 &mu;m and 13 &mu;m) in vitro; to examine whether the irrigation of implant with antiseptics (povidone iodine and octenidine dihydrochloride), antibiotics (cefuroxime) or mixture of povidone iodine and two antibiotics, before the contamination with bacteria, has an influence on the incidence on biofilm formation on three differently textured implants; and to examine the effect of antiseptics in contrast to the effect of antibiotics on biofilm formation on three differently textured breast implants. The study was conducted as a prospective research that took place at the Laboratory for microbiology, at the Institute of public health of Vojvodina in Novi Sad. For the experiment, three types of silicone breast implants were used with different pore sizes: 70-150 &mu;m, 50&ndash;900 &mu;m and 13 &mu;m. Samples were made by cutting each of these types of implants into pieces sized 1x1cm. There were 1440 samples in total. According to texture, samples were divided it three groups: Group 1 (pore size 70-150 &mu;m), Group 2 (pore size 50&ndash;900 &mu;m) and Group 3 (pore size 13 &mu;m). Furthermore, each of these groups was divided in one control and four test groups. After sterilisation of samples, every control group was contaminated with 100&mu;l of bacterial broth of Staphylococcus epidermidis (n=30), Staphylococcus aureus (n=30), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n=30) and Ralstonia pickettii (n=30). Tested groups were divided according to type of irrigation into those where samples were firstly irrigated with either: octenidine dihydrochloride of povidone iodine or cefuroxime of mixture of povidone iodine with two antibiotics, and after the irrigation, contaminated with 100&mu;l bacterial broth of Staphylococcus epidermidis (n=30), Staphylococcus aureus (n=30), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n=30) and Ralstonia pickettii (n=30). After contamination, samples were incubated on 37&deg;C for 96h, which created excellent conditions for biofilm formation. After incubation, each sample was dipped into sterile tripton soy broth, and then exposed to sonic energy for 1 minute and vortexed for 1 minute, which made biofilm separate from the implant. For testing the capability of biofilm formation, modified technique with microtitar plates described by Stepanović was used. Results show that all four examined bacteria S. epidermidis, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and Ralstonia pickettii form more biofilm on implants with pore sizes 50&ndash;900 &mu;m compared to implants with pore size 70-150 &mu;m and those with 13 &mu;m. Statistical significance was found in biofilm formation on implants with pores 70-150 &mu;m compared to implants with pores 13 &mu;m. Furthermore, all four examined bacteria form statistically less biofilm after the irrigation with any of used solutions: povidone iodine, octenidine dihydrochloride, antibiotic solution of mixture of povidone iodine and two antibiotics, in all three groups of implants compared to surfaces that were not irrigated. The exception is S. epidermidis in Group 3, where no statistical significance was found on biofilm formation after the irrigation with octenidine dihydrochloride compared to non-irrigation. Cefuroxime was more efficient in biofilm prevention for all four tested bacteria compared to non-irrigation in Group 1 and for S. epidermidis and Ralstonia pickettii in Group 2. There was no statistical significance found in prevention of S. aureus i P. aeruginosa biofilms when irrigating with cefuroxime in Group 2, as well as for all tested bacteria in Group 3. Furthermore, it was verified that antiseptics (octenidin dihydrochloride and povidone iodine) and mixture of povidone iodine and two antibiotics (cefuroxime and gentamycin), were statistically more efficient in biofilm prevention of all four examined bacteria in all groups of implants, compared to irrigation with antibiotic-cefuroxime alone. Results show that irrigation with povidone iodine is statistically more efficient in biofilm prevention of almost all examined bacteria compared to irrigation with octenidine dihydrochloride in all groups of implants. There was not found any statistical significance in prevention of Staphylococcus aureus biofilm when irrigating with povidone iodine compared to octenidine dihydrochloride in all groups of implants, and also in biofilm prevention of Ralsotnia pickettii in Group 2. According to results of this research, it is recommended to use micro-textured implants and to irrigate them with povidone iodine or mixture of povidone iodine and two antibiotics (cefuroxime and gentamycin) prior the implementation, in order to prevent biofilm formation which is most probable cause of postoperative complications after implant surgery.</p>
