Each component of a drug-eluting stent (DES) contributes to the safety of the device. Continuous efforts are being dedicated to the search of the optimal compromise between facility of use, safety and long-term efficacy. Shorter balloons reduce the vascular trauma beyond the stent struts; the metallic composition of the stent platform and the platform itself interact with the vascular wall in a long-lasting equilibrium between radial force, vessel patency and reparative cellular regrowth. The modality of drug elution is largely regulated by the chosen drug carrier, rather than by the chemical properties of the drug itself. Drug elution can be accomplished by permanent polymers that remain in the vessel wall forever, by biodegradable polymers that leave the naked metallic structure behind after their complete absorption, or even by direct release of the drug from stent reservoirs. The clinical performance of DESs has been exhaustively assessed in a large number of studies that have showed rapid and continuous improvements, from the first-generation DESs to the latest devices, based on substantial changes in stent design and polymer composition.

AbstractThere is an increasing number of studies reporting microplastic (MP) contamination in the Arctic environment. We analysed MP abundance in samples from a marine Arctic ecosystem that has not been investigated in this context and that features a high biodiversity: hollow rhodoliths gouged by the bivalve Hiatella arctica. This bivalve is a filter feeder that potentially accumulates MPs and may therefore reflect MP contamination of the rhodolith ecosystem at northern Svalbard. Our analyses revealed that 100% of the examined specimens were contaminated with MP, ranging between one and 184 MP particles per bivalve in samples from two water depths. Polymer composition and abundance differed strongly between both water depths: samples from 40 m water depth showed a generally higher concentration of MPs and were clearly dominated by polystyrene, samples from 27 m water depth were more balanced in composition, mainly consisting of polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and polypropylene. Long-term consequences of MP contamination in the investigated bivalve species and for the rhodolith bed ecosystem are yet unclear. However, the uptake of MPs may potentially impact H. arctica and consequently its functioning as ecosystem engineers in Arctic rhodolith beds.

AbstractIn recent years, nanofiber based materials have emerged as especially interesting for several biomedical applications, regarding their high surface to volume ratio. Due to the superficial nano- and microstructuring and the different wettability compared to nonstructured surfaces, the water absorption is an important parameter with respect to the degradation stability, thermomechanic properties and drug release properties, depending on the type of polymer [1]. In this investigation, the water absorption of different non- and plasma modified biostable nanofiber nonwovens based on polyurethane, polyester and polyamide were analysed and compared. Also, the water absorption by specified water wetting, the contact angle and morphology changes were examined. The results show that the water uptake is highly dependent on the surface modification and the polymer composition itself and can therefore be partially changed.
