Abstract:Introduction: Ureteral stents blocked with encrustation are a common clinical complication and affect bacteria colonization and inflammatory response. In this study, different concentrations of copper (0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 g/L) were immobilized on polyurethane (PU) that showed functionalization of microbe resistance and regulation of the inflammation response to RAW264.7.Methods: X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atomic force microscope (AFM) and static water contact angles were used to analyze the s… Show more
