In vivo electrochemical corrosion study of a CoCrMo biomedical alloy in human synovial fluids

Stefano Mischler

The present study was initiated with the aim to assess the in vivo electrochemical corrosion behaviour of CoCrMo biomedical alloys in human synovial fluids in an attempt to identify possible patient or pathology specific effects. For this, electrochemical ...

Tribocorrosion of passive metals in the mixed lubrication regime: theoretical model and application to metal-on-metal artificial hip joints

Stefano Mischler, Shoufan Cao

Wear is a key problem limiting the lifetime and performance of total hip arthroplasty. The synovial fluid, acting as lubricant, can alleviate the wear of implants but also introduces corrosion. The interaction of mechanical wear and electrochemical corrosi ...

The In-Vivo Use of Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles to Detect Inflammation Elicits a Cytokine Response but Does Not Aggravate Experimental Arthritis

Heinrich Hofmann, Lionel André Maurizi

Background Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPION) are used in diagnostic imaging of a variety of different diseases. For such in-vivo application, an additional coating with a polymer, for example polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), is needed to stabilize ...

Peptide ligands for targeting and retention of nanoparticles and protein therapeutics in articular cartilage

Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common causes of pain and disability. Currently, non-surgical treatment is limited to analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs, which are not capable of either modifying the disease process or regenerate damaged parts in ...

Methodology description for detection of cellular uptake of PVA coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) in synovial cells of sheep

Heinrich Hofmann, Alke Fink, Mathieu Chastellain

The detection of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) in synoviocytes is reported. Synoviocytes were incubated for 2, 12, 24 and 48 h with 1.5 mg/ml of PVA coated SPION under the influence of magnets (12 h). Particles were well tolerated by t ...
