Quiz 2 Flashcards
In Vitro
in a test tube, culture dish, or elsewhere outside a living organism
In Silico
by means of computer modeling or computer simulation
In Vivo
In a living Organism
Ex Vivo
In an artificial environment outside a living organism
Biocompatibility
the ability of a material or substance to perform its intended function within a specific biological system without causing harm or adverse effects to living tissues or organisms
classes of Biomaterials
Metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, natural materials
ISO 10993
standards for evaluating the biocompatibility of medical devices to manage biological risk
Toxicology
the scientific study of adverse effects of substances on living organisms
In Vitro accessing of Biocompatibility
materials compatibility with specific cell lines and does not involve immunological components similar to the body
cytotoxicity
to cause toxic effects on the cellular level
Leachability
analysis of extracts
Hemocompatibility
Blood-materials/leachates interactions
-Clotting
-absorption
platelet assay
Agar Diffusion Test Assay
test the cytotoxicity of biomaterial-generated leachable chemicals to diffuse from biomaterials. cells then are evaluated to determine the toxicity of the material: the zone of cell destruction is measured and scored 0-4
MEM Elution
material is extracted from mammalian cell culture media and placed in contact with a monolayer of cells and then allowed to grow in extraction fluid and then evaluated for qualitative or quantitative methods
MTT Assay
colorimetric assay for assessing cell metabolic activity based on reducing MTT by dehydrogenase to form water-insoluble formazan
Sensitization, Irritation, Intradermal Reactivity
reversible=irritant
irreversible=corrosive
systemic Toxicity
Adverse effects occurring from single or multiple doses
Genotoxicity
only performed if DNA mutations have been observed during in vitro testing
Implantation
Investigation into how the local tissue/organ responds to the biomaterial
Hemocompatibility
Blood compatibility testing
Carcinogenicity
chemical-induced cancer
Reproductive and Developmental Toxicity
chemically induced adverse effects on sexual function, fertility, and/or normal offspring development
Biodegradation
how does the material degrade in vivo, where do those pieces go, and how does the body respond
Immune response
Does the body recognize as “not self”? = We will discuss this further later this semester
Histology and histochemistry
relative numbers of various cell types and the amount of ECM components around the implant
Immunohistochemistry
Membrane, intracellular and extracellular molecules
Transmission and scanning electron microscopy
analysis of cells at the interface and morphology
biochemistry
inflammatory mediators
mechanical testing
mechanical strength
overview of Immunology
-Innate Immune System
-Complement System
-Specific Immune System
First Line of Defence
-Physical
-Chemical
-Biological
Physical Barrier
-skin
-nasal hair
-Eyelashes & eyelids
-mucous membranes
-Mucociliary Clearance
-Urination
Chemical Barrier
-Low pH
-Antimicrobial molecules
Ex. Sebum in skin, mucous, beta-defensins in epithelial cell, pepsin in gastric mucosal defence
Biological Barrier
Microbiome
Initial immune response-macrophage
recognize pathogen and then activate the innate system
Initial immune response dendritic cells
Pick up antigens, track down T & B cells, and activate specific system
