Role of alkali metal oxide type on the degradation and in vivo biocompatibility of soda-lime-borate bioactive glass.

In this work, it is the first time to study the effect of replacing of Na O by a fixed amount of Li O or K O in soda-lime-borate glass on its in vivo biocompatibility. The glass composition was based on xM O-20x Na O20 CaO60 B O , (wt %), where, M OLi O and K O, and consequently, samples encoded BN100, BK50, and BL50. The degradation test was carried out in 0.

In vitro drug release behavior of Ce-doped nano-bioactive glass carriers under oxidative stress.

Ce-containing bioactive glasses are known to decrease reactive oxygen activities inside the body. That is because of their excellent catalytic activities which come from the fast interchange of Ce/Ce oxidation states. This research was mainly aimed at preparing new Ce-doped nano-bioactive glasses based on 60SiO-(10-x)BO-25CaO-5PO-xCeO, in mole% (x = 0 and 5 mol%) as multifunctional bone fillings.
