    Nanostructured selenium anti-cancer coatings for orthopedic applications

    No full text
    This chapter presents a comprehensive study of the potential of nanometer structured selenium for decreasing cancer cell functions. Specifically, in this study, selenium nanoclusters were coated on orthopedic implant metals (such as titanium and stainless steel). The coatings were fully characterized using techniques such as electron scanning microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and contact angle measurements. Most importantly, compared with uncoated metals, the coatings on orthopedic metals promoted healthy bone cell functions. Moreover, cancerous bone cell functions were inhibited on selenium nanocluster coatings compared to uncoated metals. This study also examined the possible mechanisms of the promoted healthy bone-cell properties of selenium nanocluster coatings on metals. It was shown that the increased nanometer roughness of the selenium coated surfaces promoted the adsorption of fibronectin (which is one of the most important cell adhesive proteins that regulate interactions between osteoblasts and an implant surface). The experimental results of protein adsorption were complemented by results from computer simulation. The anti-cancer properties of selenium nanocluster coatings were attributed to selenium released from the coatings into cell culture media to induce cellular thiol depletion which caused cell death in cancerous osteosarcoma cells. In conclusion, this work demonstrates a number of promising directions for using nanometer scale structured selenium in diverse biomedical applications (including bone-promoting and cancer-inhibiting)

If there are any mistakes or omissions in the list, please let us know. You will notice in reading the list that our members represent twenty-four different sta.tes and two foreign countries.

We look forward to the con· tinued growth of the Society and urge all of you to join. After July I, membership will be for the half year, ending December 3t, 1974. Dues for active or associ­ate membership will be 2.50, half the regular yearly dues. The new membership year will begin in January, 1975, when we hope that all old members will renew their memberships and continue to be active in the work or the Society.

    The letter bears a postmark and a return address in addition to decorative swirls.Webster writes to ascertain the addresses of Smith &amp; Harrison as "they are named as publishers of the Elementary." Webster refers here to _The Elementary Spelling Book_ originally published in 1783 and revised throughout the early nineteenth century, outselling every book but the Bible. He also requests addresses or clarifications for Morse &amp; Harvey and Hoyt &amp; Porter. Webster states that he is ordered plates for correction, and adds a postscript asserting that he is about to "close all my concerns with bookselling as soon as practicable"; he directs the publishers to sell his bibles for $2 each, or less for the whole lot. Webster\u27s spellers and dictionaries helped give Americans a sense of national culture, distinct from Great Britain. Webster is best-remembered for his production of dictionaries like _A Compendious Dictionary of the American Language_ (1806), including words of Native American derivation, and the comprehensive _An American Dictionary of the English Language_ (1828) published in two volumes
