Calcium Phosphate Precipitation

Acidic proline-rich phosphoproteins and phosphopeptides are abundant components of parotid and submandibular salivary secretions in man and in the subhuman primate, Macaca fascicularis. The major acidic proline-rich proteins and the proline-rich phosphopeptide, statherin, of man and macaques have been shown to be potent inhibitors of calcium phosphate precipitation and are thought to function in the oral environment by maintaining saliva supersaturated with respect to calcium phosphate salts. Little is known about the biosynthesis of these proline-rich phosphoproteins and peptides, and the aim of the present work was to determine the structural relationship between statherin precursors and native human and macaque statherin. RNA was isolated from human submandibular gland, and poly(A+) mRNA was selected by affinity chromatography on oligo(dT) cellulose and translated in a reticulocyte lysate. Electrophoretic analysis of the translation products revealed that this mRNA directed the synthesis of a large number of polypeptides with M,s ranging from 5000 to 70,000. Immunoprecipitates, prepared with an antiserum directed against human statherin, contained a single component with a Mr of 7800, approximately 2000 daltons larger than native statherin. Radiosequencing of the in vitro precursor of statherin in immunoprecipitates demonstrated the presence of a 19-residue signal peptide. These results suggest that statherin is derived from a unique structural gene, and does not result from proteolytic processing of a large polyprotein precursor.

We investigated the electrical polarizability of MgO and B2O3 containing bioactive glass (MBG). The MBG material with good manufacturing properties but low bioactivity was electrically polarized at a high dc field. The electrical polarizability of MBG was evaluated by thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC) measurements and immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF). The early precipitation of calcium phosphate on the negatively charged surface of the treated MBG demonstrated the increased bioactivity of the material and confirmed its polarizability. It is suggested that the electrical interactions between the polarized MBG and ions in SBF promoted the formation of the calcium phosphate precipitation. Accordingly, the increased bioactivity of the MBG in SBF is suggested to demonstrate the conversion of MBG into electrovector ceramics by the polarization treatment.

Apatitic Phase

The experiments have confirmed that denitrification in biofilms may lead to calcium phosphate precipitation inside the biofilms due to the increased pH created by the denitrification reaction. This has been shown in a laboratory fixed film reactor with well defined geometry and feed with well defined substrates. The phosphate precipitate was in one case found similar to a carbonate containing apatitic phase. It accumulated in the bio-film to 9.3% P based on dry solids. A mathematical model has been developed relating the phosphate to nitrate molar removal rates to the concentration of phosphate, calcium, bicarbonate, the solubility of the solid phosphate phase and the type of carbon source used for denitrification. The model was supported by the experiments. The experiments show that the biofilm precipitation may be of significant practical interest, but factors as filamentous growth on the biofilm surface or precipitation of an easy soluble amorphous calcium phosphate can also make the biofilm precipitation insignificant. The precipitation effect is expected to be feasible in floes, if a homogeneous biomatrix with a thickness of more than approx. 100 µm exist in the floc substructure.

Calcium Phosphate Precipitation

Nickel ion release from NiTi shape memory alloy is an issue for biomedical applications. This study was planned to study the effect of C[Formula: see text] implantation on nickel ion release and affinity of calcium phosphate precipitation on NiTi alloy. Four annealed samples are chosen for the present study; three samples with oxidation layer and the fourth without oxidation layer. X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra reveal amorphization with ion implantation. Proton-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) result shows insignificant increase in Ni release in simulated body fluid (SBF) and calcium phosphate precipitation up to [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]ions/cm2. Then Nickel contents show a sharp increase for greater ion doses. Corrosion potential decreases by increasing the dose but all the samples passivate after the same interval of time and at the same level of [Formula: see text] in ringer lactate solution. Hardness of samples initially increases at greater rate (up to [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]ions/cm[Formula: see text] and then increases with lesser rate. It is found that [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]ions/cm2 ([Formula: see text] is a safer limit of implantation on NiTi alloy, this limit gives us lesser ion release, better hardness and reasonable hydroxyapatite incubation affinity.
