We studied changes of microarchitectonics of lymph nodes in mature rabbits in response to introduction of bioimplants based on porous titanium with carbon-containing nanocoating or nanocoating with hydroxyapatite embedded into pores. Moderate local reactivity of the lymphoid system was observed in animals with implants coated with carbon-containing films within 30 days after surgery. In animals with nanocoated implants containing hydroxyapatite, the immune response was more pronounced. Introduction of implants led to activation of cellular and humoral mechanisms of immunity in animals of both groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
