Adsorption of cationic antibacterial on collagen-coated titanium implant devices
No full textTwo different cationic antimicrobial molecules, chlorhexidine (CH) and poly(hexamethylenebiguanide) (PH), were adsorbed from aqueous solution to titanium implant devices surface-modified by the covalent coupling of collagen on a polyanionic acrylic acid overlayer. Results show that more antimicrobial was adsorbed on surface modified implants as compared to control titanium devices. Moreover, the kinetic of release was affected by the interaction between the polyanionic overlayer and the cationic antimicrobial, leading to slower kinetic of release in the case of CH and stable adsorption in the case of polycationic PH . These data indicate that biochemically modified collagen coated surfaces could be endowed also by antimicrobial properties, in the spirit of present researches on multifunctional implant surfaces

No full textThe goal of the study was the evaluation of the effect of biochemical surface modification by collagen on the bone response to acid-etched titanium surfaces. Fibrillar type I porcine collagen was adsorbed and covalently linked to acid-etched Ti disks and implants. Adhesion, growth, and specific alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of osteoblast-like SaOS2 cells were evaluated. Implants in the femur and tibia of rabbit were performed for 2 and 4 weeks and relevant bone to implant contact (BIC) was evaluated by histomorphometry. Results show that cell morphology and growth are controlled by the rough acid-etched implants topography. Specific metabolic activity (ALP) is significantly increased by the collagen overlayer. Importantly, surface modification by collagen increases the speed of periimplant bone formation, resulting in significantly higher BIC both in femur and tibia at 2 weeks. These results suggest that morphological (surface topography) and biochemical (surface linking of bioactive molecules) cues can cooperate and yield multifunctional implant surfaces.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
