Ítem Biomechanical characteristics of regenerated cortical bone in the canine mandible(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2011-07-01) Zapata, Uriel; Opperman, Lynne A.; Kontogiorgos, Elias; Elsalanty, Mohammed E.; Dechow, Paul C.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica; Bioingeniería GIB (CES – EAFIT)To test the mechanical properties of regenerate cortical bone created using mandibular bone transport (MBT) distraction, five adult male American foxhound dogs underwent unilateral distraction of the mandible with a novel MBT device placed to linearly repair a 30-35 mm bone defect. The animals were sacrificed 12 weeks after the beginning of the consolidation period. Fourteen cylindrical specimens were taken from the inner (lingual) and outer (buccal) plates of the reconstructed mandible and 21 control specimens were removed from the contralateral aspect of the mandible. The mechanical properties of the 35 cylindrical cortical bone specimens were assessed by using a non-destructive pulse ultrasound technique. Results showed that all of the cortical mechanical properties exhibit higher numerical values on the control side than the MBT regenerate side. In addition, both densities and the elastic moduli in the direction of maximum stiffness of the regenerate cortical bone specimens are higher on the lingual side than the buccal side. Interestingly, there is no statistical difference between elastic modulus (E1 and E2) in orthogonal directions throughout the 35 cortical specimens. The data suggest that not only is the regenerate canine cortical bone heterogeneous, but the elastic mechanical properties tend to approximate transverse isotropy at a tissue level, as opposed to control cortical bone, which is orthotropic. In addition, the elastic mechanical properties are higher not only on the control side but also in the lingual anatomical position, suggesting a stress shielding effect from the presence of the reconstruction plate. © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Ítem La Corporalidad, un asunto para pensar en la organización(Universidad EAFIT, 01/06/2005) Ricardo Castaño Gaviria; Universidad EAFITÍtem Simultaneous Fluorometric Determination of Chlorophylls a and b and Pheophytins a and b in Olive Oil by Partial Least-Squares Calibration(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2003-11-19) Diaz, TG; Meras, ID; Correa, CA; Roldan, B; Caceres, MIR; Diaz, TG; Meras, ID; Correa, CA; Roldan, B; Caceres, MIR; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Producción; Ingeniería, Energía, Exergía y Sostenibilidad (IEXS)The resolution of quaternary mixtures of chlorophylls a and b and pheophytins a and b has been accomplished by partial least-squares (PLS) multivariate calibration, applied to the fluorescence signals of these pigments. The total luminescence information of the compounds has been used to optimize the spectral data set to perform the calibration. After preliminary studies, a method is described in acetone media, to avoid emulsions with the olive oil samples. Different scanning paths have been selected for each method. For the simultaneous determination of the pigments in olive oil samples, a comparative study of the results found by using excitation, emission, and synchronous spectral data, as analytical signal, was performed. The excitation spectra were selected as the better analytical signals for the determination of the pigments in olive oil samples. The optimum wavelength range to record the excitation spectra (?em = 662 nm) was selected to minimize the contribution of pheophytin a and to maximize the contribution of the other pigments, which are the minor constituents in olive oil. Determination of these pigments in olive oil samples was effected from the excitation spectra of dissolutions o suitable aliquots in acetone. Recovery values from olive oil, spiked with chlorophylls a and b and pheophytins a and b, were in the ranges of 70-112, 71-111, 76-105, and 82-109%, respectively.
