To improve the biocompatibility, inter-connective pore structure, and drug delivery ability of self-setting apatite/collagen composite cement (ACC), a three-dimensionally perforated porous apatite/collagen composite cement (TPPACC) containing 3% indomethacin (IMC) was obtained in an arranged multi-cross with 20, 40, and 60 stainless steel needlelike male dies, and stored and hardened at 37 degrees C and 100% relative humidity for 24 h. The mean radius of micro-pores of the TPPACC was evaluated to be 0.125 microm by mercury porosimetry. X-ray powder diffraction and FT-IR spectroscopy suggested that TPPACC consisted of carbonated apatite and had a structure similar to that of natural rat bone. The IMC release rates from a TPPACC block containing the drug were measured in simulated body fluid. The rate of release increased with the number of macro-pores that from planar surface matrix systems followed the Higuchi equation. The relationship between the Higuchi constant and surface area of TPPACC showed a straight line with K = 0.2123 and R(2) = 0.9892. These results indicated that the rate of drug release from TPPACC could be controlled by the number of macro-pores for bone cells.

D001843 Bone Cements Adhesives used to fix prosthetic devices to bones and to cement bone to bone in difficult fractures. Synthetic resins are commonly used as cements. A mixture of monocalcium phosphate, monohydrate, alpha-tricalcium phosphate, and calcium carbonate with a sodium phosphate solution is also a useful bone paste.

D006882 Hydroxyapatites A group of compounds with the general formula M10(PO4)6(OH)2, where M is barium, strontium, or calcium. The compounds are the principal mineral in phosphorite deposits, biological tissue, human bones, and teeth. They are also used as an anticaking agent and polymer catalysts. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Hydroxyapatite Derivatives,Derivatives, Hydroxyapatite
D000894 Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.
