Abstract
Materials currently used for the treatment of bone defects include ceramics, polymeric scaffolds and composites, which are often impregnated with recombinant growth factors and other bioactive substances. While these materials have seen instances of success, each has inherent shortcomings including prohibitive expense, poor protein stability, poorly defined growth factor release and less than desirable mechanical properties. We have developed a novel class of amino acid-based poly(ester urea)s (PEU) materials which are biodegradable in vivo and possess mechanical properties superior to conventionally used polyesters (<3.5 GPa) available currently to clinicians and medical providers. We report the use of a short peptide derived from osteogenic growth peptide (OGP) as a covalent crosslinker for the PEU materials. In addition to imparting specific bioactive signaling, our crosslinking studies show that the mechanical properties increase proportionally when 0.5% and 1.0% concentrations of the OGP crosslinker are added. Our results in vitro and in an in vivo subcutaneous rat model show the OGP-based crosslinkers, which are small fragments of growth factors that are normally soluble, exhibit enhanced proliferative activity, accelerated degradation properties and concentration dependent bioactivity when immobilized.

Abstract
The degradation of cross-linked and linear poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA), was examined in vitro with J774.2 cells. pHEMA microbeads were prepared with both types of polymers. Only cells in contact with the microbeads increased their production of lysosomal enzymes (TRAcP and ANAE) and released large amounts of reactive oxygen species with both types of pHEMA microbeads. Electron microscopy showed that macrophages were able to erode the surface of linear pHEMA but unable to erode the surface of the cross-linked polymer. Cells appeared wrapped by the linear pHEMA surface, but those cultured on the cross-linked polymer were only laying at the surface. After cell culture, the surface roughness of pHEMA slices was observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). There was a significant increase in roughness (R(a)) of the surface of linear pHEMA slices cultured with J774.2 cells whereas no difference in R(a) between the surface of cross-linked pHEMA slices could be measured. AFM image of the hydrated materials were done: the surface of linear pHEMA swelled considerably in saline whereas the hydrated cross-linked polymer did not differ from the air-dried appearance. In conclusion, linear pHEMA swells in biological fluids, activates macrophages in close contact with the polymer and can be progressively eroded.

Abstract
A polymeric microreservoir device for controlled-release drug delivery relies on the degradation of thin poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) membranes that seal each reservoir to achieve pulsatile drug delivery. In vitro release studies in which the swelling of the reservoir membranes was measured indicate a correlation between the release times of various radiolabeled molecules from the devices and the time at which the maximum membrane swelling was observed. Varying the chemistry (lipophilicity/hydrophilicity) or molecular weight of the molecules loaded into the devices did not appear to affect the degree of membrane swelling that was observed, or the time at which the molecules were released from the devices. The amount of drug that was loaded into the reservoirs also did not appear to affect the observed release time of the drug from the device, a significant departure from the behavior of many matrix-type polymeric drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Biodegradable polymeric devices for drug delivery and tissue engineering are often fabricated with the use of organic solvents and may still contain significant amounts of solvent (> 1 wt%) even after aggressive vacuum drying. This excess solvent can interfere with tissue response and the mechanical properties of the devices. The aim of this article is to demonstrate that liquid CO(2) extraction can be used to reduce residual solvent in dense poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) devices to 50 ppm relatively quickly and with minimal changes in architecture under some conditions. Two liquid CO(2) extraction systems were developed to examine the removal of residual solvents from bar-shaped PLGA devices: (1) a low-pressure (1400 psi) batch system, and (2) a high-pressure (5000 psi) continuous-flow system. Eight hours of extraction in the high-pressure system reduced residual chloroform in 3 mm thick bars below the 50-ppm target. A simple Fickian diffusion model was fit to the extraction results. Diffusion coefficients ranged from 1.10 x 10(-6) cm(2)/s to 2.64 x 10(-6) cm(2)/s. The model predicts that approximately 1 h is needed to dry 1-mm bars to chloroform levels below 50 ppm, and 7 h are needed for 3 mm thick bars. The micro- and macroarchitectures of porous PLGA scaffolds created by particulate leaching were not significantly altered by CO(2) drying if the salt used to make the pores was not removed before drying.

Abstract
The phagocytosis of drug-loaded polymeric microspheres by white blood cells, such as neutrophils or mononuclear cells, represents the major clearance mechanism by which this foreign material is eliminated from the body. The process of phagocytosis requires the activation of the white blood cells by the microsphere surface, followed by binding and engulfment. Phagocytosis may result in the removal of the microspheres from the blood or the disease site and an inflammatory response. Therefore, we have studied the level of neutrophil activation by microspheres ( +/- opsonization) manufactured from various biomaterials or polymers. Polymer microspheres with equivalent size distributions were made from poly (DL-lactic acid) (PLA), poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) or a 50 : 50 blend of PLA: poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (PLA: EVA). Neutrophils were isolated from human blood and activation of these cells by microspheres was measured by chemiluminescence (CL). All four types of microspheres induced only low levels of CL, however these levels were enhanced significantly if the microspheres were pretreated with plasma or IgG suggesting an opsonization effect. The adsorption of IgG or proteins from plasma was confirmed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The poloxamer Pluronic F127 inhibited the opsonization effect of IgG and plasma on all four types of microspheres and inhibited protein adsorption as measured by SDS-PAGE. Since neutrophil activation is part of the inflammation process in vivo, these in vitro data suggest that all four types of microspheres are likely to be inflammatory if injected into body compartments containing plasma-derived fluids. Pretreatment of the microspheres with Pluronic F127 may reduce the inflammatory potential of the microspheres.

Abstract
The surface chemical characterisation of sub-200 nm poly(DL-lactide co-glycolide) nanospheres has been carried out using the complementary analytical techniques of static secondary ion mass spectrometry (SSIMS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The nanospheres, which are of interest for site-specific drug delivery, were prepared using an emulsification-solvent evaporation technique with poly(vinyl alcohol), Poloxamer 407 and Poloxamine 908 respectively as stabilisers. The presence of surfactant molecules on the surface of cleaned biodegradable colloids was confirmed and identified on a qualitative molecular level (SSIMS) and from a quantitative elemental and functional group analysis (XPS) perspective. SSIMS and XPS data were also used in combination with electron microscopy to monitor the effectiveness of cleaning procedures in removing poorly bound surfactant molecules from the surface of nanospheres. The findings are discussed with respect to the development of nanoparticle delivery systems, particularly the composition of the surface for extending blood circulation times and achieving site-specific deposition.

Abstract
The ability to transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1), to stimulate bone healing was evaluated in a rat critical calvarial defect model. Both a low dose and a high dose of TGF-beta 1 were incorporated into two different types of implants: one made from a composite of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLPG) (50:50) and demineralized bone matrix (DBM), and the other from calcium sulfate (CaSO 4). Scanning electron microscopy showed that the CaSO 4 implants were more porous than the PLPG/DBM samples. Both types of implants released biologically active TGF-beta 1 for over 300 h in vitro. The samples were implanted in a 9-mm diameter rat calvarial defect for 6 weeks along with contralateral control implants containing no TGF-beta 1. Microradiography and histological analysis were used to assess the bone healing in the defects. Microradiography revealed that the greatest amount of calcified bone (67.5%) was present in in the CaSO 4 implants containing a high dose of TGF-beta 1 while minimal new bone formation occurred in the PLPG/DBM implants. Histologically, the PLPG/DBM implants exhibited an inflammatory response with little mineralization or bone formation. The defects containing the PLPG/DBM implants consisted of a connective tissue stroma with large void spaces. Giant cells and numerous polymorphonuclear leukocytes were present throughout the implants. In contrast, the CaSO 4 implants had only a few inflammatory cells and the presence of mineralization and true bone was a more consistent feature. These preliminary studies show that TGF-beta 1 is capable of inducing new bone formation. Furthermore, the materials used to deliver the growth factor can play a significant role in the bone healing process.

Abstract
Eroding poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PDLLG) washers and poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLLG) threads were observed chronically in vivo following loading in a bone chamber tibial implant (BCI). Images were recorded using intravital microscopy of the implanted rabbit. Erosion and bone healing, as represented by angiogenesis and osteogenesis, was determined from changes in projected area of observed polymer, vessels and bone, respectively. Erosion rates of the two polymers were significantly different. Healing adjacent to both polymers differed significantly from controls. Healing response to each polymer was also different, with the faster eroding PDLLG causing more deviation from normal osteogenesis and angiogenesis than did PLLG. It was speculated that the faster eroding polymer released macrophage-stimulating fragments earlier in the healing process, thus altering the normal macrophage-endothelial cell interaction which in turn affected angiogenesis-linked components of osteogenesis.

Abstract
The hydrolytic degradation of aliphatic polyesters derived from lactic and glycolic acids (PLA/GA polymers) has been previously shown to proceed heterogeneously in the case of large size devices, the rate of degradation being greater inside than at the surface. A qualitative model based on diffusion-reaction phenomena was proposed which accounts for the formation of the more stable outer layer. However, this model also suggested that devices with dimensions smaller than the thickness of the outer layer should degrade less rapidly than larger ones. In an attempt to check this hypothesis, 15 x 10 x 2 mm compression moulded plates, millimetric beads and submillimetric microspheres and cast films, derived from the same batch of poly (DL-lactic acid) polymer were allowed to age comparatively in isoosmolar 0.13 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, at 37 degrees C. Ageing of the various devices was monitored by measuring water absorption, weight loss, L-lactic acid formation, pH and molar mass changes. As expected, large size plates and millimetric beads degraded heterogeneously and much faster than homogeneously degraded submillimetric films and particles.

Abstract
The potential of resorbable synthetic polymers derived from the poly(alpha-hydroxy acids), poly(lactide) and poly(glycolide), to fulfill a role as bone graft substitutes is reviewed. The various elements of the relationship between the degradation behaviour of resorbable implants and polymer synthesis and chain structure, implant morphology, processing and dimensions have been defined. The production of resorbable polymeric implants has been extensively documented so as to provide a wide basis for selection of an appropriate manufacturing technique. The key requirement of implant dimensional stability over the early stages of bone healing is emphasised so as to provide a stable surface on which osteoblasts and/or their precursor cells may migrate and secrete bone matrix. Minimisation of the content of slow resorbing polymers such as poly(L-lactide) is recommended, consistent with retention of an adequate implant degradation characteristic. The review concludes with a summary of alternative resorbable polymers such as the polyphosphazines which are interesting candidate materials for bone repair and reconstruction.
