The objectives of this study is to assess the effect of prolonged loading on the skin blood flowmotion in rats as measured by Laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) using wavelets transform and power spectral in the rat skin microcirculation. External pressure of 13.3kPa (100 mmHg) was applied to the trochanter area and the distal lateral tibia of Sprague-Dawley rats via two specifically designed pneumatic indentors.

Collagen and apatite were co-precipitated as a composite coating on poly L-lactic acid (PLLA) in an accelerated biomimetic process. The coating formed on PLLA films after 24 hours incubation was characterized. Saos-2 osteoblast-like cells were used to evaluate the cell seeding on this biomimetic composite coating.
