Intraoperative loading of calcium phosphate-coated implants with gentamicin prevents experimental Staphylococcus aureus infection in vivo. by Keith Thompson, Stoyan Petkov, Stephan Zeiter, Christoph M Sprecher, R Geoff Richards, T Fintan Moriarty, Henk Eijer

“…The aim of this study was to determine if intraoperative loading of a clinically approved calcium phosphate (CaP) coating with gentamicin can protect from ODRI in vivo. First, CaP-coated titanium aluminium niobium (TAN) discs were used to investigate the adsorption and release kinetics of gentamicin in vitro. …”

Capsaicin-Cyclodextrin Complex Enhances Mepivacaine Targeting and Improves Local Anesthesia in Inflamed Tissues by Verônica Muniz Couto, Laura de Oliveira-Nascimento, Luiz Fernando Cabeça, Danilo Costa Geraldes, Juliana Souza Ribeiro Costa, Karin A. Riske, Michelle Franz-Montan, Fabiano Yokaychiya, Margareth K. K. Dias Franco, Eneida de Paula

“…We tested the above hypothesis and report here for the first time the analgesia effect of a two-drug combination (LA and CAP) on an inflamed tissue. First, CAP solubility increased up to 20 times with hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD), as shown by the phase solubility study. …”
