Abstract

We have developed a new dexamethasone (Dex)‐loaded poly(lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) microspheres/porous collagen scaffold composite for implantable glucose sensors. The scaffolds were fabricated around the sensing element of the sensors and crosslinked using nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA). The microspheres containing Dex were incorporated into the NDGA‐crosslinked collagen scaffold by dipping in microsphere suspension in either water or Pluronic. The loading efficiencies of Dex in the microspheres and the scaffold were determined using high performance liquid chromatography. The microspheres/scaffold composite fabricated using microspheres in the hydrogel solution had a better loading efficiency than when microspheres were in water suspension. The composite fabricated using the hydrogel also showed a slower and more sustained drug release than the standard microspheres in vitro during a 4 week study and did not significantly affect the function of the sensors in vitro. The sensors with the composite that were still functional retained above 50% of their original sensitivity at 2 weeks. Histology showed that the inflammatory response to the Dex‐loaded composite was much lower than for the control scaffold at 2 and 4 weeks after implantation. The Dex‐loaded composite system might be useful to reduce inflammation to implanted glucose sensors and therefore extend their function and lifetime. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, 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?

  • Dexamethasone-releasing glucose biosensors retained more than 50% of their original sensitivity 2 weeks after implantation, while control membranes dropped to 15-42% of original levels.

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.
