| Abstract | Fibrous tissue formation is often used as a screening method to determine biocompatibility of orthopaedic and dental implanted material. In this investigation, porous implants of hydroxyapatitelysine (HAL) delivery devices filled with Vitamin E were implanted intraperitoneally (IP) using adult male rats as a model. The fibrous tissue surrounding the implant was studied histochemically to determine the resorbability rate of the devices. Fibrous capsular tissues were carefully dissected away from the capsule noting the tissue closest to the implanted material. Evaluation of the sections (5 /spl mu/m, H&E) collected from various areas of the implants (n=5 per group) revealed that: (1) all Vitamin E-HAL capsules were encapsulated with fibrous tissue within seven days post-implantation and the thickness of the fibrous tissue was found to be directly proportional to duration of implantation, (2) the thickness of fibrous tissues collected from IP site were significantly higher (22%/spl plusmn/3.4 SD) than those collected from SC site of implantation in another study, (3) vascularity, macrophages, fibroblasts, and plasma cells at the Vitamin E-HAL implant-interface were evident after the first week, and the persistence of these cell types and progressive angiogenesis in subsequent weeks was apparent. The formation of distinct cell layers was remarkable in the ninth week phase, (4) SEM and radiographs analysis of retrieved devices showed a significant (P<0.05) increase in the number of macropores (14 to 46 /spl mu/m/sup 2/) in HAL devices implanted SC than the number of macropores in HAL devices implanted IF. These observations confirm our previous finding using different biochemical material (TCPL). In conclusion, the results of this study demonstrate that the site of surgical implantation is an instrumental key in designing HAL delivery system. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
