Various x-ray contrast materials, barium sulphate (BaSO,) and zirconium oxide (ZrO,), were tested for their radioactivity by means of a gamma spectrometer. While BaSO, showed no detectable radiation emission, the ZrOz materials of various makes showed slight to partially high radioactive emission. F

## Abstract Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) bone cement is widely used in vertebral body augmentation procedures such as vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty. Filling high modulus PMMA increases the modulus of filled verterbra, increasing the risk of fracture in the adjacent vertebra. On the ot
## Abstract The effect of varying the initial temperature of the components of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) bone cement has been investigated. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy was used to monitor free radical decay during the curing of the cement. Samples cured in saline at 37
## Abstract The purpose of this study was to prepare and evaluate __in vitro__ the feasibility and cytocompatibility of a novel composite (GGT) as a large defect bone substitute. The composite is tricalcium phosphate ceramic particles combined with genipin crosslinked gelatin. After soaking the GGT
## Abstract Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) are known to be effective in the stimulation of cultured osteoblasts and __in vivo__ healing of delayed and nonunion fractures. In the present __in vitro__ study the effects of PEMFs on osteoblastic cell cultures (MG63 human osteoblastβlike cells) g
