For prosthetic joint infections, antibiotic loaded poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) spacer or beads can be used to release high concentrations of antibiotics locally at the infection site, while minimizing systemic toxicity. The aim of this study is to determine in vitro and in vivo pharmacokinetic release profile of antibiotics from PMMA spacers and PMMA beads. For the in vitro experiment, the PMMA spacers or beads were submerged in phosphate-buffered saline and gentamicin concentrations were determined from collected specimen at several times points, measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA).

Lignin has different structural characteristics depending on the extraction conditions. In this study, three types of ethanol organosolv lignin (EOL) were produced under different extraction conditions involving the reaction temperature (140, 160, 180 °C), sulfuric acid concentration (0.5, 1, 1.

In this research, a new biodegradable and eco-friendly adsorbent, starch-grafted polymethyl methacrylate (St-g-PMMA) was synthesized. The St-g-PMMA was synthesized by a free radical polymerization reaction in which methyl methacrylate (MMA) was grafted onto a starch polymer chain. The reaction was performed in water in the presence of a potassium persulfate (KPS) initiator.

In chronic osteomyelitis, effective local antibiotic therapy after surgical debridement can be achieved by implantation of gentamicin-PMMA chains. The gentamicin concentrations at the site of infection are higher than that after systemic application of the same antibiotic. The appearance of this treatment is a particular aspect from a radiological point of view.

Objective: Candida-induced denture stomatitis is a common debilitating problem among denture wearers. Previously, we described the fabrication of a new denture material that released antifungal drugs when immersed in phosphate buffered saline. Here, we use more clinically relevant immersion conditions (human saliva; 37°C) and measure miconazole release and bioactivity.
