Abstract:
An expandable orthopedic implant includes a casing pipe, a shaft, a first expandable element and a first link lever. The casing pipe has a first opening, a second opening and an axis passing through the first and second opening. The casing pipe sheathes one end of the shaft, and the other end of the shaft has a top portion disposed out of the first opening. The first expandable element has a first terminal pivoted on the casing pipe and a second terminal. The first link lever has a proximal end pivoted to the top portion and a distal end pivoted to the second terminal. When the top portion is driven moving away from the first opening along an extending direction of the axis, the first link-lever can be pushed by the shaft to enact the second terminal moving away from the axis along a direction perpendicular to the axis.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a biochemistry reactive material, including a substrate and an enzyme composition immobilized on the substrate. The enzyme composition is selected from a group consisting of a first enzyme, a second enzyme, and a combination thereof. The first enzyme is used for eliminating a glycan residue of an electronegative low-density lipoprotein (electronegative LDL). The second enzyme is used for eliminating ceramide carried by an electronegative low-density lipoprotein. The biochemistry reactive material is capable of eliminating electronegative low-density lipoprotein.
Abstract:
In an embodiment of the disclosure, a biomedical material is provided. The biomedical material includes a biocompatible material having a surface and a carrier distributed over the surface of the biocompatible material, wherein both of the biocompatible material and the carrier have no charges, one of them has charges or both of them have charges with different electricity. The biomedical material is utilized for dentistry, orthopedics, wound healing or medical beauty and applied in the repair and regeneration of various soft and hard tissues.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to a biological tissue forming method includes the following steps: providing a biological tissue forming package with a base, a membrane, a sliding assembly and a sealing film that seals a chamber of the base used for receiving the membrane and the sliding assembly with one of the base and the sealing film being light-transmitting; passing a biological tissue fluid through the sealing film and the sliding assembly so as to be dispensed on the membrane; moving the sliding assembly away from a covering position used for covering the membrane via at least one passive magnetic element so as to expose the biological tissue fluid on the membrane; and emitting the biological tissue fluid exposed on the membrane by a curing light transmitting through the one of the base and the sealing film so as to cure the biological tissue fluid into a biological tissue.
Abstract:
A temperature-sensitive cell culture composition is provided. The temperature-sensitive cell culture composition includes a hydrogel, a cellulose, a gelatin and a collagen. Based on 1 part by weight of the collagen, a content of the hydrogel is between 0.03 parts by weight and 60 parts by weight, a content of the cellulose is between 150 parts by weight and 360 parts by weight, and a content of the gelatin is between 21 parts by weight and 12 parts by weight. In addition, a method for using the temperature-sensitive cell culture composition, a method for forming the temperature-sensitive cell culture composition, and a use of the temperature-sensitive cell culture composition are also provided.
Abstract:
An ophthalmic drug delivery device and a method for fabricating the same are provided. The ophthalmic drug delivery device includes a shield element and a drug release element. The shield element has a light transmittance more than or equal to 80%. The drug release element is an annular body so that the drug release element surrounds the shield element. The drug release element is neutral and includes a cross-linked neutral collagen, a first hydrophilic biodegradable polymer and a drug. The shield element is acidic and includes a cross-linked acidic collagen and a second hydrophilic biodegradable polymer.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides a use of hydrogel composition for alleviating degenerative joint and tendon tear. The hydrogel composition includes 100 parts by weight of therapeutic agent and 120-380 parts by weight of biodegradable copolymer, wherein the therapeutic agent comprises platelet-rich plasma (PRP), doxorubicin, transforming growth factor, bovine serum albumin, or a combination thereof. The biodegradable copolymer has a structure of Formula (I) or Formula (II): wherein A is a hydrophilic polyethylene glycol polymer; B is a hydrophobic polyester polymer; BOX is a bifunctional group monomer of 2, 2′-bis(2-oxazoline) used for coupling the blocks A-B or B-A-B; and n is 0 or an integer greater than 0.
Abstract:
An implanting device is used for implanting a membrane in a biological tissue. The implanting device includes a sleeve, a membrane storage element, an injection element and a bubble generating element. The membrane storage element is fixed at the sleeve. The injection element is inserted in the sleeve and the membrane storage element, and includes a capturing end and connecting end. The capturing end is for capturing the membrane and has a hole. The bubble generating element is connected to the connecting end, and is for providing a gas that is then outputted via the hole. By the rotation of the injection element, the capturing end extends straight out of the membrane storage element or retracts straight into the membrane storage element.
