Abstract:

The inherent design freedom of protein engineering and recombinant protein production enables specific tailoring of protein structure, function, and properties. Two areas of research where protein engineering has allowed for many advances in biomedical materials include the design of novel protein scaffolds for molecular recognition, as well as the use of recombinant proteins for production of next generation biomaterials. The main focus of my dissertation was to develop new biomedical materials using protein engineering. Chapters three and four discuss the engineering of repeat proteins as

Abstract:

Analysis of infant body temperature, environmental temperature and respiratory behaviour has become an important aspect of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome research. The application of engineering techniques as a means of providing research tools has been found to be beneficial for medical research. Signal processing techniques have been developed and applied to the analysis of physiological signals that have been collected from infants in the home environment. These techniques allow physiological signals to be analysed and correlated with the use of both time and frequency domain algorithms. Sign

Abstract:

A recently developed electrohydrodynamic direct-write printing method which can be applied to all types of materials and used to create ordered structures and complex patterns using coarse processing needles is described. Utilising co-axial flow of materials has been successful in enabling encapsulated structures to be generated by this technique. Topography is a crucial physical cue in influencing cellular responses and should be considered when designing biomedical architectures. Electrohydrodynamic printing is used in this work to generate ordered topographies with proven biomaterials. By c

Abstract:

Surfactant coated microbubbles are widely used as contrast agents (UCA) in medical ultrasound imaging, due to their high echogenicity and non-linear response to acoustic excitation. Controlling the stability of microbubbles in vivo represents a considerable challenge. Understanding the characteristics of the bubble surface and how they change with production method, composition and environment is key to addressing this problem. The aim of this thesis is to investigate viscosity, bubble dissolution, and acoustic response as functions of their composition, manufacturing method and environment. B

Abstract:

Falls are common and burdensome accidents among the elderly. About one third of the population aged 65 years or more experience at least one fall each year. Fall risk assessment is believed to be beneficial for fall prevention. This thesis is about prognostic tools for falls for community-dwelling older adults. We provide an overview of the state of the art. We then take different approaches: we propose a theoretical probabilistic model to investigate some properties of prognostic tools for falls; we present a tool whose parameters were derived from data of the literature; we train and test a

Abstract:

Hydroxyapatite (HA) coated titanium (Ti) based dental and orthopaedic implants are widely utilised owing to their bone-bonding capability. However, the longevity of such implants is restricted by poor HA-Ti interfacial adhesion. In contrast, alternative coating materials such as titania (TiO2) and zirconia (ZrO2) have superior mechanical properties but are generally bioinert. Therefore, the performance of coated implants has been optimised by combining highly bioactive HA with mechanically superior TiO2 or ZrO2.

Abstract:

<p> Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is a rapidly growing field that is particularly well suited for “bottom up” tissue engineering, largely due to its ability to control the 3D shape of the engineered construct, as well as its constituents (<i>e.g.</i>, cells and/or material) and their spatial distribution. A variety of nozzle-based techniques have emerged for tissue engineering, and while these excel at building large 3D architectures, they suffer from moderate print resolution and limited printable materials, making them less attractive for smaller, high-resolution constructs.

A new optical method, for the assessment of the optic nerve-head topography, was studied theoretically and experimentally. The motivation of this work is in relation with glaucoma, an eye disease that can lead to blindness. Glaucoma manifests itself by a destruction (atrophy) of the retinal axons, which in turn affects the shape (topography) of the optic nerve head (disc). Topographic measurement of the optic nerve head is used for diagnosis and tracking (progression) of glaucoma. The new technique consists of a dual-fringe projection system and a single-view imaging system. The dual-fringe pr

Collecting microlymphatics play a vital role in promoting lymph flow from the initial lymphatics in the interstitial spaces to the large transport lymph ducts. In most tissues, the primary mechanism for producing this flow is the spontaneous contractions of the lymphatic wall.

Lymphatic contractile activity is inhibited by flow in isolated lymphatics, however there are virtually no in situ measurements of lymph flow in these ve

碩士<br>長庚大學<br>機械工程研究所<br>89<br>Abstract Clinical surgeons have always needed to perform anaplasties for patients, due to inborn or acquired factors, who are injured in the skull, face or limbs. At present, anaplasties are invariably executed solely based on the surgeon''s experiences - planning the steps of the surgery and designing the shape of the implant all on an x-ray film. The entire process not only consumes time but also affects the quality of the implant. In modern times, the technology of "Reverse Engineering" has been broadly applied to industries of moulds, aerospace

博士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>醫學工程學研究所<br>105<br>Pleural diseases, including benign or malignant conditions, are clinical challenges. Benign one, like primary spontaneous pneumothorax, usually occurs in young, lean young men. In most cases, the cause of pneumothorax is rupture of blebs at apex of the lung. A novel method using coverage of the endoscopic suture line by a large absorbable vicryl mesh during thoracoscopic surgery was proved to be safe and feasible. Theoretically, the mesh can strengthen the suture line and induce local fibrosis surrounding the suture line, and reduce the rate of recurrent pneu

Abstract:

Metals and their alloys are the materials most commonly used in medical applications for bone support due to their biocompatibility and mechanical properties. Nevertheless, these materials do not stimulate bone regeneration and, over time, release metallic ions into the human body, which in large numbers is toxic. One way to overcome this problem is to use coatings with biocompatible and biodegradable materials capable of stimulating bone regeneration. In this work, 316 stainless steel alloy was used as the component capable of withstanding the loads applied to bone and poly(L-lactic acid) (PL
