Model bile solution, proteins, and bacteria were used to unravel the inhibitory ability of the polymer coatings. Adsorbance of proteins and adherence of bacteria were both strongly inhibited by the polymer coatings. Circulation tests were performed under clinical conditions using human bile from patients. Adsorption/deformation of proteins and early-stage sludge formation were inhibited on stent surfaces coated with PMEA derivatives. The present study revealed that early-stage biliary sludge formation on PMEA- and PMC3A-coated stents was suppressed due to the strong resistance of the polymers to protein adsorption/deformation, brought about by intermediate water in hydrated polymer coatings, which is not present in conventional coating materials, such as silicone and polyurethane.. |

Someya, A Nonthrombogenic, Stretchable, Active Multielectrode Array using Organic Electrochemical Transistors., Science Advances, 10.1126/sciadv.aau2426, 4, 10, eaau2426, 2018.10, [URL], High-precision monitoring of electrophysiological signals with high spatial and temporal resolutions is one of the most important subjects for elucidating physiology functions. Recently, ultraflexible multielectrode arrays (MEAs) have been fabricated to establish conformal contacts with the surface of organs and to measure propagation of electrophysiological signals with high spatial-temporal resolution; however, plastic substrates have high Young’s modulus, causing difficulties in creating appropriate stretchability and blood compatibility for applying them on the dynamically moving and surgical bleeding surface of the heart. Here, we have successfully fabricated an active MEA that simultaneously achieves nonthrombogenicity, stretchability, and stability, which allows long-term electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring of the dynamically moving hearts of rats even with capillary bleeding. Because of the active data readout, the measured ECG signals exhibit a high signal-to-noise ratio of 52 dB. The novel stretchable MEA is carefully designed using state-of-the-art engineering techniques by combining extraordinarily high gain organic electrochemical transistors processed on microgrid substrates and a coating of poly(3-methoxypropyl acrylate), which exhibits significant antithrombotic properties while maintaining excellent ionic conductivity.. |
