RESUMEN

The present study is aimed at investigating the contribution of two biologically important cations, Mg(2+) and Sr(2+), when substituted into the structure of hydroxyapatite (Ca(10)(PO(4))(6)(OH)(2),HA). The substituted samples were synthesized by an aqueous precipitation method that involved the addition of Mg(2+)- and Sr(2+)-containing precursors to partially replace Ca(2+) ions in the apatite structure. Eight substituted HA samples with different concentrations of single (only Mg(2+)) or combined (Mg(2+) and Sr(2+)) substitution of cations have been investigated and the results compared with those of pure HA. The obtained materials were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, specific surface area and porosity measurements (N(2) adsorption at 77 K), FT-IR and Raman spectroscopies and scanning electron microscopy. The results indicate that the co-substitution gives rise to the formation of HA and ß-TCP structure types, with a variation of their cell parameters and of the crystallinity degree of HA with varying levels of substitution. An evaluation of the amount of substituents allows us to design and prepare BCP composite materials with a desired HA/ß-TCP ratio.

RESUMEN

HAPEX (hydroxyapatite-reinforced polyethylene composite) is a second-generation orthopedic biomaterial designed as a bone analog material, which has found clinical success. The use of topography in cell engineering has been shown to affect cell attachment and subsequent response. Thus, by combining bioactivity and enhancing osteoblast response to the implant surface, improved tissue repair and implant life span may be achieved. In this study a primary human osteoblast-like cell model has been used to study the influence of surface topography and chemistry produced by three different production methods. Scanning electron microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, and confocal scanning laser microscopy have been used to study cell adhesion; tritiated thymidine uptake has been used to observe cell proliferation; and the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and biochemical methods have been used to study phenotypic expression. Transmission electron microscopy has also been used to look at more long-term morphology. The results show that topography significantly influences cell response, and may be a means of enhancing bone apposition on HAPEX.
