Immobilization of poly(ethylene glycol) onto a poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel: 2. Evaluation of thrombogenicity

Llanos, Gerard R., Sefton, Michael V.·1993·Journal of Biomedical Materials Research

Abstract

Immobilized polyethylene glycol (PEG) reduced the amount of bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorbed on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel, but did not reduce the platelet reactivity of the hydrogel surface. PEG, molecular weight (MW) 2000 or 5000, with or without a monomethoxy end group, was covalently bound to glutaraldehyde‐crosslinked PVA either through a cyclic acetal or an urethane functional group with a surface coverage of 70% (as measured by x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy [XPS]). Immobilization of monomethoxy‐PEG via a cyclic acetal reduced BSA adsorption to PVA from 11 ± 2 nmol/m 2 to 3.9 ± 0.3 nmol/m 2 and 3.3 ± 0.3 nmol/m 2 for MW 2000 and 5000, respectively. Similarly, urethane bound PEG reduced adsorption to 3.5 ± 1.6 nmol/m 2 for MW 2000 and 5.4 ± 1.0 nmol/m 2 for MW 5000. Whole blood clotting times of PVA (using a Chandler loop) were not affected by covalently linked PEG, although the initial rate of thrombin generation at the surface, measured using a fluorogenic substrate, was marginally reduced; a rate constant of 4.2 ± 0.1 cm/sec and 3.5 ± 0.1 cm/sec were obtained for MW 2000 and 5000, respectively, compared to 5.6 ± 1.0 cm/sec for PVA. Ex vivo evaluation using a canine arteriovenous shunt revealed that the hydrogel, with or without bound PEG, reduced circulating platelet levels by 35‐70% after 4 days. The initial fractional rate of platelet destruction determined from measurement of platelet cyclooxygenase activity, indicated that cyclic acetal or urethane bound PEG of either molecular weight had no effect on platelet consumption produced by PVA. The PEG hypothesis at least as it relates to platelet interactions may need to be evaluated further in the light of these results. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Sefton and coworkers reported that neither PEG-grafted nor control PVA hydrogel-coated PE tubing maintained circulating platelet levels after 4 days in an ex vivo canine arteriovenous shunt.

    “However, studies conducted by Sefton and coworkers who used PEG immobilized PVA hydrogel coated PE tubing in an ex vivo canine arteriovenous (AV) shunt reported that neither the PEG grafted or control PVA tubing could maintain circulating platelet levels after 4 d.49”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
