Reduced Burst Release of Bioactive rhBMP-2 from a Three-phase Composite Scaffold

Grant, David William 31 December 2010 (has links)
Recombinant human bone morphogenic proteins (rhBMPs) are extensively studied and employed clinically for treatment of various bone defects. Current clinical delivery vehicles suffer wasteful burst releases that mandate supra-physiological dosing driving concerns over safety and cost. It was therefore investigated whether a unique drug delivery vehicle sequestered within a composite scaffold could lower the burst release of rhBMP-2. PLGA-calcium phosphate tri-phasic composite scaffolds delivered model protein BSA with burst release of ~13% and sustained kinetics of 0.5-1.5% BSA/day up to 45 days. rhBMP-2 was delivered with zero burst release however at much lower levels, totaling 0.09% to 0.9 % release over 10 days, but had up to 6.3-fold greater bioactivity than fresh rhBMP-2 (p<0.05). In conclusion, the three-phase composite scaffold can deliver bioactive proteins with a reduced burst release and sustained secondary kinetics.

Copper Oxide Films Grown by Atomic Layer Deposition from Bis(tri-n-butylphosphane)copper(I)acetylacetonate on Ta, TaN, Ru, and SiO2

Waechtler, Thomas, Oswald, Steffen, Roth, Nina, Jakob, Alexander, Lang, Heinrich, Ecke, Ramona, Schulz, Stefan E., Gessner, Thomas, Moskvinova, Anastasia, Schulze, Steffen, Hietschold, Michael 02 May 2009 (has links)
The thermal atomic layer deposition (ALD) of copper oxide films from the non-fluorinated yet liquid precursor bis(tri-<it>n</it>-butylphosphane)copper(I)acetylacetonate, [(<sup><it>n</it></sup>Bu<sub>3</sub>P)<sub>2</sub>Cu(acac)], and wet O<sub>2</sub> on Ta, TaN, Ru and SiO<sub>2</sub> substrates at temperatures of < 160&deg;C is reported. Typical temperature-independent growth was observed at least up to 125&deg;C with a growth-per-cycle of ~ 0.1 &Aring; for the metallic substrates and an ALD window extending down to 100&deg;C for Ru. On SiO<sub>2</sub> and TaN the ALD window was observed between 110 and 125&deg;C, with saturated growth shown on TaN still at 135&deg;C. Precursor self-decomposition in a chemical vapor deposition mode led to bi-modal growth on Ta, resulting in the parallel formation of continuous films and isolated clusters. This effect was not observed on TaN up to about 130&deg;C and neither on Ru or SiO<sub>2</sub> for any processing temperature. The degree of nitridation of the tantalum nitride underlayers considerably influenced the film growth. With excellent adhesion of the ALD films on all substrates studied, the results are a promising basis for Cu seed layer ALD applicable to electrochemical Cu metallization in interconnects of ultralarge-scale integrated circuits.<br> &copy; 2009 The Electrochemical Society.

Typisches temperaturunabh&auml;ngiges Wachstum wurde zumindest bis 125&deg;C beobachtet. Damit verbunden wurde f&uuml;r die metallischen Substrate ein Zyklenwachstum von ca. 0.1 &Aring; erzielt sowie ein ALD-Fenster, das f&uuml;r Ru bis zu einer Temperatur von 100&deg;C reicht. Auf SiO<sub>2</sub> und TaN wurde das ALD-Fenster zwischen 110 und 125&deg;C beobachtet, wobei auch bei 135&deg;C noch ges&auml;ttigtes Wachstum auf TaN gezeigt werden konnte. Die selbst&auml;ndige Zersetzung des Precursors &auml;hnlich der chemischen Gasphasenabscheidung f&uuml;hrte zu einem bimodalen Schichtwachstum auf Ta, wodurch gleichzeitig geschlossene Schichten und voneinander isolierte Cluster gebildet wurden. Dieser Effekt wurde auf TaN bis zu einer Temperatur von 130&deg;C nicht beobachtet. Ebensowenig trat er im untersuchten Temperaturbereich auf Ru oder SiO<sub>2</sub> auf. Der Nitrierungsgrad der TaN-Schichten beeinflusste hierbei das Schichtwachstum stark. Mit einer sehr guten Haftung der ALD-Schichten auf allen untersuchten Substratmaterialien erscheinen die Ergebnisse vielversprechend f&uuml;r die ALD von Kupferstartschichten, die f&uuml;r die elektrochemische Kupfermetallisierung in Leitbahnsystemen ultrahochintegrierter Schaltkreise anwendbar sind.

Constructing and Commissioning HELIOS – A High Harmonic Generation Source for Pump-Probe Measurements with sub 50 fs Temporal Resolution : The Development of Experimental Equipment for Extreme Ultraviolet Spectroscopy

Terschlüsen, Joachim A. January 2016 (has links)
This thesis presents HELIOS, an in-house laboratory for time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy with extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) probe radiation. A wide span of pump wavelengths can be generated using commercial laser equipment while XUV probe radiation is generated via a high harmonic generation process in a noble gas delivering probe photons with energies between 20 eV and 72 eV. The XUV beam path features a time-preserving monochromator and was constructed and built in-house. HELIOS features an overall time resolution of about 50 fs when using 800 nm pump and 41 eV probe photons. An energy resolution of 110 meV at 41 eV photon energy can be achieved. HELIOS features two beamlines. One µ-focus beamline with an XUV focal size of about 20 µm can be used with experiments that require such a small XUV focal size as well as with different end stations. The other beamline features a semi-permanently mounted end station for angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy under ultra-high vacuum conditions. Experiments demonstrating the usability of HELIOS and the two beamlines are presented. A pump-probe measurement on graphene demonstrates the capability of determining a large part of the k-space in only one measurement due to the use of an ARTOF angle-resolved time-of-flight electron spectrometer. A non-angle-resolved pump-probe measurement on the conducting polymer PCPDTBT demonstrates the high signal-to-noise ratio achievable at this beamline in non-angle-resolved photoelectron-spectroscopy pump-probe measurements. The usability of the µ-focus beamline is demonstrated with time-resolved measurements on magnetic samples employing an in-house-designed spectrometer. These experiments allow the retrieval of element-specific information on the magnetization within a sample employing the transversal magneto-optical Kerr effect (T-MOKE). Additionally, a Fourier transform spectrometer for the XUV is presented, the concept was tested at a synchrotron and it was used to determine the longitudinal coherence of the XUV radiation at HELIOS.
