Peroxide, Benzoyl

Peroxide, Benzoyl: A common topical treatment for acne, Benzoyl Peroxide is an oxidizing agent that helps reduce bacterial growth and unclog pores.
It works by generating free radicals that disrupt the cell walls of Propionibacterium acnes, the primary acne-causing bacteria.
Benzoyl Peroxide is available in various concentrations and formulations, such as gels, creams, and washes.
It may cause dryness, peeling, and irritation, especially at higher concentrates, so it's important to start with a low dose and gradually increase as tolerated.
When used properly, Benzoyl Peroxide can be an effectiive component of an acne managment regimen.

Freshly dissected tibiae, lumbar vertebrae and calvarial bones were stripped of soft tissue, and placed in 20 ml of 10% neutral phosphate buffered formalin, After fixation, samples were washed with PBS, transferred to 70% ethanol for 4–24 h. All of the bones were dehydrated in graded ethanol (95%, two baths; 100%, four baths), for at least 4 hours each at 4°C. Following dehydration, they were placed in infiltration medium containing 85% destabilized methyl methacrylate (MMA; Sigma, St. Louis, MO), 15% dibutyl phthalate (Sigma), and 0.15% benzoyl peroxide (Polysciences, Inc., Warrington, PA). After three days under vacuum, the bones were removed from the infiltration MMA and placed on pre-polymerized base layers, covered with freshly catalyzed MMA, and incubated for two days at 37.8ºC in a radiant heat oven (Labline, Melrose Park, IL). Glass vials were removed from the oven, cooled at −20.8°C for 1 h, and the specimen blocks removed by breaking the glass. Specimen blocks were trimmed, sectioned, and sequentially polished. The BSEM was used to image the osteocyte lacunae on the sectioned bone surface in the standardized areas. With the analysis software, the images were thresholded. Then the areas of approximately 250 lacunae from each sample were measured in a blinded fashion.

The hydrogel was synthesized by free radical polymerization of NIPAAm, HEMA, and a macromer acrylate-oligolactide (AOLA). In brief, NIPAAm, HEMA, and AOLA with molar ratio of 86/10/4 were dissolved in 150 mL 1,4-dioxane under the protection of nitrogen. Initiator benzoyl peroxide was then added. The polymerization reaction was conducted at 70 °C for 24 h with continuous stirring. The solution was precipitated in hexane. The obtained polymer was purified twice using THF as dissolving solvent and diethyl ether as precipitation solvent82 (link).
Hydrogel solution (20 wt%) was prepared by dissolving the synthesized polymer in Dulbecco’s modified phosphate buffer saline (DPBS) at 4 °C. The thermal transition temperature of the solution was measured utilizing DSC over a temperature range of 0 °C and 60 °C with a heating rate of 10 °C/min9 (link),89 (link). Injectability of the hydrogel solution was tested by injecting the solution through a 28-gauge needle typically used for tissue injection90 (link). Gelation time of the hydrogel solution was determined using a temperature controllable Olympus 1 × 71 microscope9 (link). The time needed for the 4 °C hydrogel solution to become completely opaque at 37 °C was considered as gelation time. Hydrogel degradation was conducted in DPBS at 37 °C for 4 weeks. Weight loss was determined. At least 5 samples were used for degradation study.

In our previous paper, 31 (link) 0.01% w/w azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) was added to the resin to enable post-print thermal curing to drive further polymerization and obtain improved mechanical properties. However, we find that the 385 nm source of our new 3D printer activates AIBN such that it is consumed during 3D printing, and is therefore unavailable for post-print thermal curing. We tried an alternate thermal initiator, benzoyl peroxide, but found that it was likewise activated during 3D printing. Therefore, we employ an optical curing approach in this paper. The key is to use a photoinitiator with absorbance that extends to longer wavelengths than the long wavelength cut off of the UV absorber such that light in this region penetrates through the device. For example, in Fig. 3(a), the Irgacure 819 absorption spectrum extends to ~460 nm, while NPS and Martius Yellow drop off at ~440 nm. For post-print optical curing we use an inexpensive consumer UV nail curer (54 Watt Professional UV Nail Dryer, Royal Nails) that emits a broad spectrum.

Bone samples were divided for histologic and histomorphometric evaluation. Samples were cut and fixed in 10% (w/v) formalin (Bio-Optica) for 3 days. For histomorphometric analysis, undecalcified samples were processed for plastic embedding, using a previously described protocol. Briefly, samples were dehydrated in a graded series of ethanol [50, 70 and 100% (v/v)], followed by immersion in xylol for 24 h. The undecalcified bone samples were infiltrated with a plastic embedding mixture using a three-step protocol. In each step, the samples were infiltrated for three consecutive days with daily freshly made solutions, containing 75% (v/v) of methylmethacrylate (MMA, Sigma-Aldrich) and 25% (v/v) of dibutyl phthalate (Prolabo) with increase in concentrations (0 g/mL; 0.01 g/mL and 0.025 g/mL) of benzoyl peroxide (Sigma-Aldrich). Polymerization was carried out at 37 °C for a week. The plastic blocks, containing the processed bone samples, were cut into 7 µm sections using a tungsten knife (Leica). After deplasticization, the sections were stained with toluidine blue staining. Trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) was determined using the Osteomeasure bone histomorphometry software (OsteoMetrics, OsteoMetrics, Inc.). The percentage of adipose tissue was calculated using a 15 to 11 points grid [38 (link), 39 (link)].
