Abstract

Novel hydrogel polymers were prepared, characterized, coated on implantable glucose sensors, and tested in vitro and in vivo. The effects of 2,3-dihydroxypropyl methacrylate (DHPMA) on the swelling, morphology, glass transition (T(g)), and water structure were studied. The results show that the degree of swelling increases with increasing DHPMA content. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies identified uniform, porous structures in samples containing 60-90 mol % DHPMA. Glass-transition temperatures did not change significantly with DHPMA content, but the ratio of freezing to nonfreezing water tended to increase with DHPMA content. Sensors coated with different hydrogels were prepared and in vitro evaluations were performed. The 80% DHPMA hydrogels exhibited optimum sensitivity, response, and stability when coated directly onto the sensor or top of a polyurethane (PU) layer. The histology results show that 80% DHPMA samples exhibit reduced fibrosis and reduced inflammation, resulting in a longer functional life.

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?

  • Control sensor membranes at 28 days had a fibrous capsule of about 500 μm, while capsules around hydrogel-based sensors were roughly 30-60 μm.

    “Control sensor membranes (epoxy-polyurethane) at 28 days were characterized with a fibrous capsule of ~500 Vm while the capsules around hydrogel-based sensors were roughly 30–60 Vm.15”

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.
