Purpose To mix high dose antibiotic powder to the bone cement more easily, Hanssen et al reported mixing the antibiotics with the cement during its liquid phase but made no comments about the relevance of cement viscosity and antibiotic distribution. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the cement mixing technique and cement viscosity on the antibiotics distribution in a cement spacer model. Methods Thirty cylindrical models from three groups were examined. Group A was made by mixing the antibiotics with medium viscosity cement prior to adding the liquid monomer (traditional technique). Group B was made by mixing the antibiotics with medium viscosity cement during its liquid phase (Hanssen's technique). Group C was made by traditional technique with low viscosity cement. In all groups 2 g of tetracycline was used. Three 0.1 mm thick cross sections from each spacer model were examined under the fluorescent microscope. The fluorescent spots of tetracycline were calculated automatically in pixels. To evaluate the distribution of the antibiotics in the spacer model, we selected the cross section with the highest number of pixels and the one with the lowest number of pixels from each of the three cross sections and calculated the difference between them. The distribution disequilibrium was compared between group A and B, A and C. Results No significant difference was observed in either comparison. Conclusion The Hanssen's mixing technique can be used when using high dose antibiotics, and either medium or low viscosity cement could be used in terms of antibiotic distribution.

Duration of use and injectability are external factors for Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) that needs to be considered when PDMS utilized as a vitreous substituted liquid in vitreoretinal surgery. In general, PDMS which has been used as a substitute for vitreous humour is PDMS with a low viscosity in the value about 1000 cSt and a high viscosity at a value of about 5000 cSt. Various deficiencies have been encountered from low and high viscosity of PDMS, causing research to be continued to obtain PDMS which has suitable properties as a substitute for vitreous humour. One of them is research to obtain medium viscosity of PDMS with a viscosity value of about 2000 cSt. Here, we reported synthesis and characterization of PDMS with medium viscosity in ranges from 1800 to 2600 mPas. PDMS was synthesized through Ring-Opening Polymerization (ROP) pathway using the monomer of Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) and the chain terminator of Hexamethyldisiloxane (MM). Various concentrations of potassium hydroxide (KOH) of 3, 4, 6 and 8 %(w/v) were applied as initiator to form gel of PDMS. All synthesized PDMS samples were identified to have viscosity values of 1800-2600 mPas, refractive index values of 1.4042-1.4044 and surface tension values of 22-23 mN/m. Meanwhile, the results of Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) measurement showed that the absorption peaks were similar to that of our previous report.
