Water uptake and release from iodine-containing bone cement
Journal of biomedical materials research. Part A, 2004Co-Authors: Fred Kjellson, Bjarne Brudeli, Ian Mccarthy, Lars LidgrenAbstract:Water uptake and release characteristics of PMMA cement containing the water-soluble contrast media iohexol or iodixanol have been investigated. The water uptake study revealed that iohexol had the highest uptake of water (3.7%) and that iodixanol had an uptake close to that of Palacos R (2.3% and 1.9%). The curves obtained showed the materials to follow classic diffusion theory, with an initial linearity with respect to t(1/2) making it possible to calculate the diffusion coefficients. This showed iohexol to have the lowest diffusion coefficient, Palacos R the highest, and iodixanol close to that of Palacos R. The release study showed that more iohexol than iodixanol was released from the bone cement; the long-term release was above 25 microg/mL for iohexol compared to slightly above 10 microg/mL for iodixanol. A microCT investigation showed that the risk of developing an observable radiolucent zone is negligible.

Does vacuum mixing of bone cement affect heat generation? Analysis of four cement brands
Journal of applied biomaterials : an official journal of the Society for Biomaterials, 1995Co-Authors: Jian-sheng Wang, Herbert Franzén, Sören Toksvig-larsen, Lars LidgrenAbstract:Four different brands of bone cement (Palacos R, Simplex P, Sulfix, CMW 1) were tested for exothermic changes during polymerization at atmospheric pressure and under partial vacuum of 0.2 bar. Palacos R was also mixed at four pressure levels (1.0, 0.2, 0.12, and 0.05 bar). The peak temperature in the bone cement was 46 to 124 °C, depending on the measuring point. There was no difference in peak temperature or duration of temperature increase above 50 °C during the curing of cement whether mixed at atmospheric pressure or under partial vacuum at different pressure levels. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

In vitro Growth Pattern of Primary Human Osteoblasts on Calcium Phosphate- and Polymethylmethacrylate-Based Bone Cement.
European Surgical Research, 2017Co-Authors: Johannes Schauwecker, Mark Bock, Florian Pohlig, H. Mühlhofer, Rüdiger Von Eisenhart-rothe, Jutta Tübel, Chlodwig KirchhoffAbstract:BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and calcium phosphate (Ca-P) cements are widely used for arthroplasty surgery and augmentation of bone defects. However, aseptic implant loosening in absence of wear-induced osteolysis indicates an unfavourable interaction between the cement surface and human osteoblasts. Our underlying hypothesis is that cement surfaces directly modify cell viability, proliferation rate, and cell differentiation. METHODS: To test this hypothesis, we examined primary human osteoblasts harvested from six individuals. These cells were pooled and subsequently seeded directly on cement pellets prepared from Palacos® R, Palacos® R+G, and Norian® Drillable cements. After incubation for 24 and 72 h, cell viability, proliferation rate, apoptosis rate, and cell differentiation were analysed. RESULTS: Upon cultivation of human osteoblasts on cement surfaces, we observed a significantly reduced cell viability and DNA content compared to the control. Analysis of the apoptosis rate revealed an increase for cells on Palacos R and Norian Drillable, but a significant decrease on Palacos R+G compared to the control. Regarding osteogenic differentiation, significantly lower values of alkaline phosphatase enzyme activity were identified for all cement surfaces after 24 and 72 h compared to cultivation on tissue culture plastic, serving as control. CONCLUSIONS: In summary, these data suggest a limited biocompatibility of both PMMA and Ca-P cements, necessitating further research to reduce unfavourable cell-cement interactions and consequently extend implant survival.

The in vitro elution characteristics of antibiotic-loaded CMW and Palacos-R bone cements
The Journal of arthroplasty, 1999Co-Authors: Murray J. Penner, Clive P. Duncan, Bassam A. MasriAbstract:An in vitro study was carried out comparing the elution characteristics of Palacos-R and CMW acrylic cements. Three groups of 6 antibiotic-loaded cement disks were prepared, incorporating 1.0 g vancomycin and 2.4 g tobramycin per 40 g packet of cement. Palacos-R bone cement was used for group 1, CMW 1 for group 2, and CMW 3 for group 3. The disks were placed in saline baths for 9 weeks. The baths were periodically sampled and elution rates calculated. CMW 1 released 24% less tobramycin and 36% less vancomycin than Palacos-R over the total study period (P < .05). CMW 3 released 34% less tobramycin and 38% less vancomycin than Palacos-R (P < .05). There was no significant difference in antibiotic release between CMW 1 and CMW 3. The in vitro elution characteristics of Palacos-R are superior to CMW.
