Early reports of the biomedical use of poly(lactic acid) date back to the 1960s [3, 175]. Since then, PLA has gained widespread application in the medical field, for use in sutures [8], drug delivery devices [15, 17, 24, 59-90], prosthetics, scaffolds, vascular grafts, and bone screws, pins and plates for temporary internal fracture fixation [10-13]. Good mechanical properties and the fact that it de-... 

Experiments were performed to determine if monomers containing 2-cyanoacrylates were grafted, that is bonded covalently, to bone. Bone slabs were primed with 1% solution of triethylamine in n-hexane, and an ethyl cyanoacrylate was spread on the treated bone. Two hours after application of the adhesive, the attenuated total reflectance infrared spectrum showed clearly the presence of... 

Clinical use Lymphocyte immune globulin is used prior to bone marrow transplantation to prevent the graft-versus-host (GVH) reaction. It is also used in combination with cyclosporine or cytotoxic drugs (or both) for maintenance following bone marrow, heart, and renal transplantations. Lymphoc3 te immune globulin has induced remissions in patients with aplastic anemia. 

A few million patients every year need a bone graft or bone graft substitute to repair a bone defect resulting from an injury or a disease. A large number of bone graft substitutes can be used unprocessed or processed allogenic bone, animal-derived bone substitutes and synthetic bone substitutes, mostly ceramics. ...
