THE ADSORPTION OF BIOMOLECULES TO MULTI-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES IS INFLUENCED BY BOTH PULMONARY SURFACTANT LIPIDS AND SURFACE CHEMISTRY

The adsorption of biomolecules to multi-walled carbon nanotubes is influenced by both pulmonary surfactant lipids and surface chemistry

Abstract Background During production and processing of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), they may be inhaled and may enter the pulmonary circulation.It is essential that interactions with Lamp involved body fluids like the pulmonary surfactant, the blood and others are investigated, particularly as these interactions could lead to coating of

Biomechanical role of cement augmentation in the vibration characteristics of the osteoporotic lumbar spine after lumbar interbody fusion

Abstract Under whole body vibration, how the cement augmentation affects the vibration characteristic of the osteoporotic fusion lumbar spine, complications, and fusion outcomes is unclear.A L1-L5 lumbar spine finite element model was developed to simulate a transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) model with bilateral pedicle screws at L4-L5
