| Abstract | Because of the complex plasma reactions and chemical structures of polymers, it is difficult to construct nitrogen functionalities controllably by plasma technology to attain the desirable biological outcome and hence, their effects on bone cells are sometimes ambiguous and even contradictory. In this study, argon plasma treatment is utilized to convert complex molecular chains into a pyrolytic carbon structure which possesses excellent cytocompatibility. The pyrolytic carbon then serves as a platform to prepare the desired nitrogen functionalities by nitrogen and hydrogen plasma immersion ion implantation. Primary, secondary, and tertiary amine groups can be produced selectively thus minimizing the chemical complexity and creation of multiple types of nitrogen functional groups that are often obtained by other fabrication methods. As a result of the excellent control of the nitrogen functionalities rendered by this plasma technique, the effects of individual nitrogen functionalities on the cytocompatibility and upregulation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) osteogenesis can be investigated systematically. The tertiary amine functionalities exhibit the optimal efficiency pertaining to the modulation of the biological response, enhancement of osteogenesis related gene/protein expression, and calcification of the contacted BMSCs. Our results demonstrate that simple plasma technology can be conveniently employed to create the desirable nitrogen functionalities on orthopedic polymers to facilitate osseointegration and mitigate foreign body reactions. |

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.
