Effect of Low-Frequency Pulsed Ultrasound on Drug Delivery, Antibacterial Efficacy, and Bone Cement Degradation in Vancomycin-Loaded Calcium Phosphate Cement
BACKGROUND Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) has been applied as a biodegradable antibiotic carrier in osteomyelitis. However, the drug delivery, antibacterial efficacy, and degradation rate of CPC are insufficient and require further improvement in clinical application. MATERIAL AND METHODS Vancomycin-loaded CPC columns were prepared, and eluted in simulated body fluid. The drug delivery was asse...
متن کاملLOW INTENSITY PULSED ULTRASOUND TREATMENT INCREASES RABBIT RADIAL FRACTURE HEALING
In order to study the effect of ultrasound (US) on bone healing, a complete transverse fracture was made in the right radius of adult male rabbits by a cutter. 52 rabbits were used: group I. control (n= 17): group 2. test (n:=: 15): group 3, intact (n= I) and group 4 (n= 12) who were examined only for evaluation of the cutter effects in detail. 7 animals were operated with a Gigli saw. The ...
متن کاملLow Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS)
The application of ultrasound energy at much lower levels than is the current clinical norm is starting to gain ground as a therapeutic possibility. Clearly the applied energy is the same, it is the ‘dose’ which is different – most importantly, the intensity (W cm) – which is MUCH lower – typically 2 or 3 times lower than the lowest setting on most regular clinical machines, with the most commo...

متن کاملEvaluation of Antibiotic-loaded Calcium Phosphate Bone Cement in a Cranium-infected Experimental Model
Treatment of calvarial defects has remained a challenge in reconstruction surgery, especially because of infection at these sites. We produced a bactericidal biomaterial for treating infected bone defects by using calcium phosphate bone cement mixed with antibiotics. We evaluated the usefulness of this material mixed with the antibiotic vancomycin in a cranium-infected rat model. The concentrat...
