## Abstract Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) particles generated from joint arthroplasties appear to contribute to aseptic implant loosening through inflammationβinduced periprosthetic osteolysis. However, osteolysis appears to be multifactorial; whether a direct link exists between PMMA particles and

## Abstract Polymethylmethacrylate bone cement, containing either no added antibiotic, 0.5 g of Vancomycin, 1.0 g of Vancomycin, or 1.0 g of Tobramycin, was mixed either in air or a vacuum chamber. Following storage in a water bath at 37Β°C for 48 h, the specimens were tested in fourβpoint bending.
The effects of recombinant human fibroblast growth factor-2 (rhFGF-2) in the presence of eroding 50:50 poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PDLLG) on acute bone healing were studied in the optical bone chamber (BCI). BCIs were loaded with disks of PDLLG surrounded by one of four rhFGF-2 doses. Fifty-two f
## Abstract Osseointegration of porousβcoated implants during revision arthroplasty procedures is often impeded due to the presence of residual granuloma, particulate debris, and a sclerotic, dysvascular bone bed. We hypothesized that local infusion of recombinant fibroblast growth factor (FGFβ2) w
## Abstract mTOR is a nutrientβsensing protein kinase that regulates numerous cellular processes. Our prior studies using the mTOR inhibitor, rapamycin, indicate an important role for mTOR in chondrogenesis. We extended our observations to a physiological, in vivo model of bone growth, direct infus
