A avaliação in vitro da biocompatibilidade de diferentes tipos de biomateriais foi realizada pelo teste de citotoxicidade em cultivo de células de tecido conectivo de camundongos, NCTC Clone 929 da American Type Culture Collection. O estudo comparativo do ensaio de citotoxicidade foi realizado com duas metodologias: 1) ensaio de difusão em ágar e 2) ensaio de incorporação do vermelho neutro. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que ambas as metodologias podem ser utilizadas, de acordo com o tipo de amostra a ser analisada
Polymeric hydrogels are used as wound dressing material since these materials show advantages such as pain relief, exudates absorption, barrier to microorganisms, permeability, and others. This article shows the results obtained in a study aiming to know the biological performance of different polymeric materials to be used in contact with skin: PVP hydrogels and acrylate adhesive. The biocompatibility was determined by in vitro assay of cytotoxicity and in vivo assay by using the contact test of irritability in rabbits. All the tested samples presented no toxicity and no dermal irritation.
Surfaces of pure titanium and Ti coated with cellulose acetate propionate (CAP) have been characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy X ray coupled with elemental microanalysis (SEM-EDS), ellipsometry, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and contact angle measurements. Coating Ti surfaces with CAP ultrathin films reduced original surface roughness. Surface energy and wettability of CAP covered Ti surfaces pure Ti surfaces were similar. The adsorption of lysozyme (LYZ), an antibacterial protein, onto Ti and CAP-coated Ti surfaces has been studied by means of ellipsometry and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The adsorption of LYZ was mainly driven by hydrophobic interaction between protein hydrophobic residues and CAP propyl groups. Pure Ti and CAP coated Ti surfaces presented no cytotoxicity effect and proved to be adequate substrates for cell adhesion. The biocompatibility of CAP coated Ti surfaces was attributed to the surface enrichment in glucopyranosyl residues and short alkyl side groups
RESUmoMateriais esterilizados em raios gama, ao serem re-esterilizados em óxido de etileno (EO), formam substâncias tóxicas? Esta questão norteou o objetivo deste estudo, que foi investigar o potencial efeito citotó-xico do PVC esterilizado em radiação gama e re-esterilizado em EO pelo método da difusão em ágar em culturas celulares. Nove tubos de PVC foram submetidos à esterilização em radiação gama e re-esterilizados em EO. Os tubos foram divididos em um total de 81 unidades de análise, que foram testadas de forma a representar as superfícies internas, externas e massa de cada tubo. Concluiu-se que os materiais de PVC esterilizados em Radiação Gama e consecutivamente re-esterilizados em EO não são citotóxicos.

AbStRACtDo materials sterilized using gamma rays become toxic when re-sterilized in ethylene oxide? This question guided the objective of this study, which was to investigate the potential cytotoxic effect of PVC sterilized by gamma radiation and re-sterilized with EO by the agar diffusion method in cell cultures. Nine PVC tubes were subjected to gamma radiation sterilization and were re-sterilized in EO. The tubes were divided into a total of 81 units of analysis that were tested so as to represent the internal and external surfaces and mass of each tube. It was concluded that the PVC materials sterilized in gamma radiation and re-sterilized in EO are not cytotoxic.

RESUmEnLos materiales esterilizados con rayos gama, al ser re-esterilizados en óxido de etileno (EO), ¿forman substancias tóxicas? Esta pregunta orientó el objetivo del presente estudio, que fue investigar el potencial efecto citotóxico del PVC esterilizado en radiación gamma y re-esterilizado en EO por el método de difusión en agar en cultivos celulares. Nueve tubos de PVC fueron sometidos a esterilización por radiación gamma y re-esterilizados en EO. Se les aplicaron en total 81 unidades de análisis, las cuales fueron testeadas de manera tal de representar las superficies internas, externas y la masa de cada tubo. Se concluyó en que los materiales de PVC esterilizados con Radiación Gamma y, posteriormente, con EO, no son citotóxicos.
