Materials and Methods: Critical bone defects were created in the tibia of 32 Wistar rats divided into two groups: Clot Group and RTR ® Group. After the experimental period of 30 and 90 days, the animals were sacrificed and the paraffin embedded pieces were cut and stained with he matoxylin and eosin. Two parameters were analyzed: total neoformed bone area (AON) and bone area of neoformed cortical (ACN). Statistical analysis was performed in the two observation periods by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's test. Results: All groups demonstrated superior bone repair when compared to the Clot Group 30 days in the two analyzed parameters. The RTR ® Group, in 30 and 90 days, presented repair of the cortical bone and bone tissue formations in the central region of the defect greate r than in the 90 - day Clot Group, which presented partial repair of the cortical bone and few bone tissue formations in the r egion of the defect (p <0.05). Conclusions: The RTR ® favored the bone neoformation in the adopted experimental model and can be indi cated in cases of bone of critical size. / Doutor

The utilization and performance of carbohydrate-based fat replacers in southern-style baking powder biscuitsCharles, Stacey A. 04 May 2010 (has links)
Performance of three carbohydrate-based fat replacers (pectin, gum, and oat fiber) in a southern-style baking powder biscuit was evaluated at substituted levels of 33%, 66%, and 100%. Objectives and sensory tests were conducted on all samples. Results were compared to the control for the determination of significant differences at (p<0.05).
Overall objective test results suggested that there was an increase in the degree of expansion as the level of fat replacement increased. Significantly (p<0.05) softer crusts and crumbs were observed with the fat replaced variations. All fat-substituted biscuits had significantly (p<0.05) higher moisture contents. Upon 24 and 48 hours of storage, staling was observed in all variations with the 100% variations having the most staling. There was a significant (p<0.05) caloric reduction as the level of fat replacement increased. However, this was an over-estimation of the calories provided upon human utilization. Also, the Land and b values of the crust color significantly (p<0.05) decreased with fat sUbstitution.
The QDA results indicated that the panelists observed the degree of browning, cell size, dryness, and tenderness significantly (p<0.05) decreased whereas, perceived cohesiveness significantly (p<0.05) increased as the level of fat replacement increased. Bitterness also increased as the fat replacement level increased.
The general population with an Appalachian influence "moderately liked" the control and oat-based 33% and 66% variations which were selected on the basis of the QDA results.
Overall, the fat substituted variations with the most desirable characteristics were the pectin and oat-based 33% biscuits. The 100% variations would be the most beneficial in caloric reduction, however, their attributes would not be representative of an "ideal" Southern-style baking powder biscuit. / Master of Science

研究背景:常规骨科临床在治疗大段骨缺损时需要移植骨和(或)支架材料,尤其复合有治疗性生物活性成分的复合材料尤为理想。本研究的策略在于发展开发一种具有生物活性和生物降解特性的的合并有植物小分子icaritin(外源性生长因子)或者骨形态发生蛋白2(BMP-2, 内源性生长因子)的复合骨支架用于骨再生。基于聚乳酸乙交酯共聚物和磷酸三钙,我们利用先进的快速成型技术编制了新型的符合有BMP-2 或者icaritin 的支架材料, 命名为PLGA/TCP ( 对照材料组) ,PLGA/TCP/BMP-2(BMP-2 编织复合治疗材料组), PLGA/TCP/icaritin (低,中,高剂量icaritin 编织复合治疗材料组)。 / 研究目标:本研究的总体目标是通过系统的体外实验和兔骨缺损的体内实验,建立和评估一种优化的复合递送系统,用于骨再生的应用。体内效果的研究体现在终点关于合并有外源性生长因子icaritin 和内源性生长因子BMP-2 的复合材料之间的比较研究。 / 材料和方法:低温快速成型机器用于复合材料的编制。PLGA 和TCP 作为基本载体材料,icaritin 和BMP-2 作为具有生物活性的外源性和内源性生长因子,分别进行编织复合。最终编织复合的支架材料命名为P/T 对照组,P/T/BMP-2 和低,中,高剂量P/T/icaritin 治疗组。另外,我们通过液体完全浸泡并在真空橱内干燥24 小时的方法制备了BMP-2 和icaritin 浸泡复合支架材料,分别是P/T+BMP-2(阳性对照组)和中剂量P/T+icaritin(比较组)。体外成骨潜能是通过兔骨髓干细胞和支架材料共培养的方法检测细胞接种,增殖效率,碱性磷酸酶活性,钙沉积以及成骨基因定量mRNA 表达检测。兔尺骨双侧阶段性缺损并植入复合支架材料的模型用于探讨支架材料体内成骨和成血管功效,影像学和活体检测CT 技术用于评估骨再生;借助CT的血管造影术和组织学检测新生血管;动态核磁共振技术用于检测骨缺损局部血液灌注功能,以及宿主组织和支架材料之间的相互作用。 / 研究结果: 对编织的支架材料的体外特性和成骨潜能进行鉴定和评估。显微CT 定量结果显示此支架材料具有互联大孔隙,平均孔隙率75±3.27%,平均孔径458±25.6μm。和对照组,icaritin 浸泡复合组,BMP-2 编织复合组比较,在icaritin 编织复合支架材料(n=6, p<0.05)特别是中剂量组(n=6, p<0.01)中,与材料共培养的兔骨髓干细胞(BMSCs)表现了较高的细胞接种效率,碱性磷酸酶活性和上调的胶原酶I,骨桥蛋白mRNA 表达,以及较多的钙结节沉积。同时,BMP-2 浸泡复合组表现了最佳的效果(n=6, p<0.01)。兔尺骨缺损模型体内试验结果显示,术后2,4,8周影像学和显微CT 显示,和对照组,icaritin 浸泡复合组,BMP-2 编织复合组比较,icaritin 编织复合支架材料(n=6, p<0.05)特别是中剂量组材料(n=6, p<0.01)植入的骨缺损区域有更多新生成骨。BMP-2 浸泡复合组表现了最多的新骨形成(n=6,p<0.01)。组织学结果同样也验证了在icaritin 编织复合支架材料(n=6, p<0.05)特别是中剂量组(n=6, p<0.01)中,存在较多的骨样组织和典型的板层骨。BMP-2 浸泡复合组也具有最多的新骨组织生成(n=6, p<0.01)。此外, 在icaritin 编织复合支架材料(n=6, p<0.05)尤其中剂量组(n=6, p<0.01)中,借助显微CT 的血管造影术检测发现,骨缺损区域出现较大的新生血管体积,动态核磁共振检查发现较好的局部血液灌注功能。在三种icaritin 剂量浓度的编织复合材料组之间比较,我们发现中浓度icaritin 复合比例的编织复合材料组显示了最佳的成骨潜能。 / 研究结论: 编织复合有外源性植物分子icaritin 的PLGA/TCP 支架材料在体内体外试验中均表现了预期的成骨分化潜能和骨再生能力,尤其是中剂量icaritin 编织复合材料。传统的应用前做体外复合的BMP-2 浸泡复合支架材料和更具吸引力和方便应用的植物分子icaritin 编织复合支架材料,都可以较好的增强骨修复,这很可能为新型生物复合材料潜在的临床有效性验证提供很好的基础。 / Background: Treatment of large bone defect in routine orthopaedic clinics requires bonegrafting and/or scaffold materials, especially desirable with composite material combined with therapeutic and bioactive agents for achieving better treatment outcome. The strategy of this study was to develop such a bioactive biodegradable composite bone scaffold incorporating a phytomolecule icaritin as an exogenous growth factor or bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) as a known endogenous growth factor for bone regeneration. Based on polylactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) and Tricalcium Phosphate (TCP), we fabricated innovative BMP-2 or icaritin incorporated scaffold materials, namely PLGA/TCP (Control group), PLGA/TCP/BMP-2 and PLGA/TCP/low-, middle-, and high-icaritin with three different dosages of icaritin (Treatment groups) by an advanced prototyping technology. / Aims: The overall aim of the study was to establish and evaluate a local delivery system with slow release of bioactive agents for acceleration of bone regeneration in a bone defect model in rabbits. In vivo efficacy study served as end-point of this comparative study between composite scaffold incorporating exogenous growth factor icaritin and endogenous growth factor BMP-2. / Materials & Methods: Composite scaffolds were fabricated at -28ºC by a lowtemperature rapid-prototyping machine. PLGA and TCP were used as basic carrier materials, and icaritin or BMP-2 was incorporated as exogenous or endogenous bioactive growth factors, respectively. The incorporated scaffolds were named by PLGA/TCP (P/T, Control group), PLGA/TCP/BMP-2 and PLGA/TCP/low-, middle-, and high-icaritin (Treatment groups). In addition, we prepared BMP-2 and icaritin loading scaffolds, namely PLGA/TCP+BMP-2 as positive control group and PLGA/TCP+middle-icaritin as comparative group by entire immersion in the solution and dry in vacuum cabinet for 24 hours. In vitro osteogenic potentials of the designed bioactive composite scaffolds were tested in scaffold-co-cultured rabbit bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) for measurement of cell seeding and proliferation efficiency, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, calcium deposition, and quantitative mRNA expression of relative osteogenic genes. In vivo efficacy investigation was designed to evaluate osteogenesis and angiogenesis in a bilateral ulna bone segmental defect model implanted with composite scaffold in rabbits, with radiography and in vivo micro-CT for studying new bone regeneration and micro-CT-based angiography and histology for neovascularization, dynamic MRI for local blood perfusion function, as well as host tissue and scaffold material interactions. / Results: The in vitro characterization and osteogenic potential of the fabricated scaffolds were performed and confirmed, respectively. Micro-CT quantitation showed that the scaffolds had interconnected macropores with an average porosity of 75±3.27 % and pore size or diameter of 458±25.6 μm. Compared to P/T, P/T+icaritin and P/T/BMP-2 scaffolds, P/T/icaritin scaffolds (n=6, p<0.05), especially P/T/middle-icaritin (n=6, p<0.01) presented higher cell seeding efficiency, ALP activity and calcium nodules and up-regulated mRNA expressions of Collagen type I and Osteopontin of co-cultured BMSCs. P/T+BMP-2 showed the best osteogenic effects among all groups (n=6, p<0.01). In vivo measurement of x-ray and micro-CT in rabbit ulna bone defect model at week 2, 4 and 8 post-surgery showed more newly formed bone in the defects treated with P/T/icaritin scaffolds (n=6, p<0.05), especially P/T/middle-icaritin scaffold (n=6, p<0.01) compared with that of P/T, P/T+icaritin and P/T/BMP-2 groups. P/T+BMP-2 also showed the best bone formation among all groups (n=6, p<0.01). Histological results also demonstrated that there were more osteoid tissues and typical lamellar bone in surface and internal of the implants, as well as along the adjacent host bone in P/T/icaritin groups (n=5, p<0.05), especially P/T/middle-icaritin group (n=6, p<0.01). P/T+BMP-2 group showed the most newly formed bone (n=6, p<0.01). In addition, newly formed vessels in the defects were identified with micro-CT-based angiography and functionally supported by dynamic MRI for reflecting blood perfusion. The results showed more ingrowing new vessels in P/T/icaritin groups (n=6, p<0.05), especially P/T/middle-icaritin group (n=6, p<0.01), compared to P/T and P/T/BMP-2 groups. For comparing dose effects among three scaffolds incorporating different concentration of icaritin, we found that middle dose PLGA/TCP/icaritin composite scaffold showed the best osteogenic potential. / Conclusion: PLGA/TCP scaffolds incorporating exogenous phytomolecule icaritin demonstrated the desired osteogenic differentiation potential and bone regeneration capability as investigated in vitro and in vivo, where the middle dose of icaritin incorporating PLGA/TCP composite scaffold showed the best effects. These findings may form a good foundation for potential clinical validation of this innovative bioactive composite scaffold with either conventional endogenous BMP-2 for in vitro loading before application or more attractively and user-friendly incorporated with exogenous phytomolecule icaritin as a ready product for enhancing bone defect repair. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Chen, Shihui. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 173-198). / Electronic reproduction.

Scientific Considerations of Olestra as a Fat SubstituteRattagool, Kullakan 12 1900 (has links)
Olestra is, a sucrose polyester, a noncaloric fat substitute, made from sucrose and several fatty acid esters. It has been approved by the FDA as a food additive used in preparing low-fat deep-frying foods such as savory snacks. Available literature on olestra was evaluated that had both positive and negative connotations. Clinical trials in numerous species of animals including humans were conducted to determine if olestra would affect the utilization and absorption of macro- and micronutrients; the effects of olestra on growth, reproduction, or its toxicity were also examined. The roles of olestra as a fat substitute, how it could effect on humans and the environment, and the potential impacts from its use in large amounts were assessed. Olestra can be removed from the environment by aerobic bacteria and fungi which may be isolated from activated sludge and soils.
