Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF-2) Delivery From Heparin Modified Surfaces for Artificial Cornea Applications / FGF-2 Delivery from Heparinized PDMS and Collagen Materials

Princz, Marta A. 09 1900 (has links)
Device anchoring of artificial cornea implants, through tissue integration of stromal tissue, is necessary to ensure long-term success. In this work, the delivery of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2), a key modulator in corneal wound healing, via heparin modified materials was investigated as a means of sustained, soluble growth factor delivery for stimulation of device anchorage. Two materials types, commonly used for ophthalmic applications and currently under investigation for use in artificial cornea applications, were utilized. Poly (dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) is currently under investigation as the base material for keratoprosthetic devices; dendrimer crosslinked collagen has been examined as the basis for use as a tissue engineered corneal equivalent. PDMS surfaces were modified directly or indirectly, through a poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) spacer, to contain functionalized reactive NSC groups capable of binding heparin and FGF-2 Surface modifications were characterized with attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (ATR-FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and water contact angles. Heparin coverage was assessed with metachromatic and bioactivity assays. Heparinized collagen gels were crosslinked with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC), N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) and polypropyleneimine octaamine G2 dendrimers. Gel integrity was assessed with water uptake, differential sr::anning calorimetry, and heparin and dendrimer stability. Both materials were exposed to radiolabelled FGF-2 and growth factor immobilization and delivery were quantified. Heparinized PDMS surfaces were capable of binding on average 100 ng/cm2 ofFGF-2, while heparinized collagen gels had higher FGF-2 immobilization, 300 ng, likely attributed to their higher heparin densities and the fact that the bulk gel rather than the surface only was modified. Delivery of FGF-2 from the heparinized materials revealed a first order release profile, with an initial burst of FGF-2, followed by gradual growth factor release. Release rates, over a 2 week period, reached 6.5% and 50%, for 1 day and 3 day FGF-2 exposed heparinized PDMS modified surfaces, while hepruinized dendrimer crosslinked collagen gels released 40%. / Thesis / Master of Applied Science (MASc)

Critical Beginnings: Creating School Community for All Children and Families

Talbot, Patricia A. 15 April 1998 (has links)
Ernest Boyer's The Basic School: A Community for Learning (1995) aligns with other important research and programs that encourage parent involvement to maximize each child's educational potential. The purpose of this qualitative study was to understand and to document the first steps undertaken by one school as it began to address Boyer's school as community priority by reaching out to an uninvolved parent population. Meaning was constructed from the perspective of the researcher who was an active participant in the process. Research questions included: 1) What happened when one school began to address the needs of its at-risk population by intentionally reaching out to involve the parents of these students in the life of the school? 2) How was this accomplished within the context of a school beginning to address the priorities of a "Basic School?" 3) What structures were created to facilitate the process and guide its progress? Teachers in the School as Community Family at Kizer Elementary School were the initial focus of this study. Additional groups with related purposes became part of the inquiry as the process unfolded. Transcripts, field notes, and related documents were collected from all relevant group meetings and outreach activities from June of 1997 through January of 1998. The process of data analysis yielded descriptive conceptual models and an interpretive narrative case study that follows a modified chronology of the communicative action steps undertaken by a group of educators readying themselves for outreach to an alienated parent population. This study produced practical implications for schools wishing to begin the steps toward increasing the level of family and community engagement with student learning. A case was made for self-reflective action to create opportunities for authentic conversation that can empower families to take greater initiative in the public education of their children. If schools can learn to build, support and sustain relationships with parents, particularly their at-risk populations, they might expect a greater level of success in educating their children. / Ed.
