Preliminary investigation of a polyethylene glycol hydrogel "nerve glue"
BACKGROUND Polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogel is a biocompatible semi-adherent gel like substance that can potentially augment nerve repair much like a fibrin sealant. Potential advantages of this substance include fast preparation and set up time, as well as adhesion inhibiting properties. The purpose of this study was to perform an initial evaluation of PEG hydrogel in this application. MET...
متن کاملSynthesis and preliminary characterization of polyethylene glycol (PEG)/hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanocomposite for biomedical applications
Currently, composite materials have gained momentum in the field of orthopedics and maxillofacial surgery. Among the composite materials, ceramic/polymer possesses significant advantages of high mechanical reliability and excellent biocompatibility for applications in load bearing areas. In this work, polyethylene glycol (PEG)/hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanocomposites of varying weight percentages we...
متن کاملCharacterization of protein release from photocrosslinkable hyaluronic acid-polyethylene glycol hydrogel tissue engineering scaffolds.
The goal of this work was to utilize the naturally derived bioactive polymer hyaluronic acid (HA) to create a combination tissue engineering scaffold and protein delivery device. HA is a non-immunogenic, non-adhesive glycosaminoglycan that plays significant roles in several cellular processes, including angiogenesis and the regulation of inflammation. In previous work, we created photopolymeriz...
متن کاملSynthesis and Characterization of Polyethylene Glycol Dinitrates
Polyethylene glycol dinitrates (PEGN) with molecular weights between 400 and 20 000 g·mol-1 were prepared from polyethylene glycols by esterification with nitric acid/sulfuric acid in dichloromethane. The products were characterized by gel permeation chromatography. The yield of PEGN increases with increasing reaction temperature (0-40 °C) however large liberation of nitrogen oxides was observe...
متن کاملPhotocrosslinkable laminin-functionalized polyethylene glycol hydrogel for intervertebral disc regeneration.
Intervertebral disc (IVD) disorders and age-related degeneration are believed to contribute to lower back pain. There is significant interest in cell-based strategies for regenerating the nucleus pulposus (NP) region of the disc; however, few scaffolds have been evaluated for their ability to promote or maintain an immature NP cell phenotype. Previous studies have shown that NP cell-laminin int...
