Abstract
Water uptake and release characteristics of PMMA cement containing the waterโsoluble contrast media iohexol or iodixanol have been investigated. The water uptake study revealed that iohexol had the highest uptake of water (3.7%) and that iodixanol had an uptake close to that of Palacosยฎ R (2.3% and 1.9%). The curves obtained showed the materials to follow classic diffusion theory, with an initial linearity with respect to t^1/2^ making it possible to calculate the diffusion coefficients. This showed iohexol to have the lowest diffusion coefficient, Palacosยฎ R the highest, and iodixanol close to that of Palacosยฎ R. The release study showed that more iohexol than iodixanol was released from the bone cement; the longโterm release was above 25 ฮผg/mL for iohexol compared to slightly above 10 ฮผg/mL for iodixanol. A ฮผCT investigation showed that the risk of developing an observable radiolucent zone is negligible. ยฉ 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res 71A: 292โ298, 2004

## Abstract Radiopacity in the vast majority of the commercially available acrylic bone cements that are used clinically is provided by particles of either BaSO~4~ or ZrO~2~. Literature reports have shown these agents to have a detrimental effect on some mechanical properties of the cements as well
In all acrylic bone cement formulations in clinical use today, radiopacity is provided by micron-sized particles (typical mean diameter of between about 1 and 2 microm) of either BaSO(4) or ZrO(2). However, a number of research reports have highlighted the fact that these particles have deleterious
A novel device containing cephalexin as a model drug using a self-setting bioactive cement based on CaO-Si0,-P,O, glass was investigated. The device consisted of 95 wt/wt% glass powders and 5 wt/wt% cephalexin powder hardened within 5 min after mixing with a phosphate buffer. After setting, in vitro
