TL;DR: Coating chitosan on Ti surfaces decreased the wettability of the Ti, but increased protein adsorption and cell attachment, as compared to the control Ti surfaces.
Abstract: Chitosan, a derivative of the bio-polysaccharide chitin, has shown promise as a bioactive material for implant, tissue engineering and drug-delivery applications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the contact angle, protein adsorption and osteoblast precursor cell attachment to chitosan coatings bonded to titanium. Rough ground titanium (Ti) coupons were solution cast and bonded to 91.2% de-acetylated chitosan (1 wt% chitosan in 0.2% acetic acid) coatings via silane reactions. Non-coated Ti was used as controls. Samples were sterilized by ethylene oxide gas prior to experiments. Contact angles on all surfaces were measured using water. 5 x 10(4) cells/ml of ATCC CRL 1486 human embryonic palatal mesenchyme (HEPM) cells, an osteoblast precursor cell line, were used for the cell attachment study. SEM evaluations were performed on cells attached to all surfaces. Contact angles and cell attachment on all surfaces were statistically analyzed using ANOVA. The chitosan-coated surfaces (76.4 +/- 5.1 degrees) exhibited a significantly greater contact angle compared to control Ti surfaces (32.2 +/- 6.1 degrees). Similarly, chitosan-coated surfaces exhibited significantly greater (P < 0.001) albumin adsorption, fibronectin adsorption and cell attachment, as compared to the control Ti surfaces. Coating chitosan on Ti surfaces decreased the wettability of the Ti, but increased protein adsorption and cell attachment. Increased protein absorption and cell attachment on the chitosan-coated Ti may be of benefit in enhancing osseointegration of implant devices.

TL;DR: It is concluded that GLP-2 increases intestinal growth in premature, TPN-fed pigs by decreasing proteolysis and apoptosis, whereas enteral nutrition acts via increased protein synthesis and cell proliferation and decreased apoptosis.
Abstract: We wished to determine whether exogenous glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-2 infusion stimulates intestinal growth in parenterally fed immature pigs. Piglets (106–108 days gestation) were given parentera...

26 Apr 2004TL;DR: The results show that BMA is superior for the cases of low and medium traffic loads, relatively few sensor nodes per cluster, and relatively large data packet sizes, and performs better than the TDMA-based MAC schemes in terms of average packet latency.
Abstract: The low-energy characteristics of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) pose a great design challenge for MAC protocol design. Recent studies have proposed different cluster-based MAC protocols. In this paper, we propose an intra-cluster communication bit-map-assisted (BMA) MAC protocol for large-scale cluster-based WSNs. BMA is intended for event-driven applications, where sensor nodes transmit data to the cluster head only if significant events are observed. In addition, we provide the energy and packet latency analytical models for BMA, conventional TDMA, and energy efficient TDMA (E-TDMA) when used as intra-cluster MAC schemes. Our results show that BMA is superior for the cases of low and medium traffic loads, relatively few sensor nodes per cluster, and relatively large data packet sizes. In addition, BMA performs better than the TDMA-based MAC schemes in terms of average packet latency.
