描述(由申请者提供)：请提供参与支持 美国演讲者(2)和研究生(6)以及对 出版2001年双相问题国际专题讨论会论文集 磷酸盐生物材料。4.本次国际研讨会将于6月30日举行 和2001年7月1日在南特大学的Faculte Chirurgie Dentaire， 弗朗西斯。本次研讨会的焦点将是两相磷酸钙。 医用和牙科用生物材料.双相磷酸钙 (BCP)生物材料由羟基磷灰石(HA)和三钙的混合物组成 磷酸盐(b-TCP)。BCP在欧洲、日本和韩国商业化销售 美国作为骨替代材料。黄曲霉毒素的生物降解及其生物活性 可以通过改变生物陶瓷的HA/b-TCP比例来控制BCP，例如 申请者的开创性研究证明了这一点。 研讨会主题包括：BCP生物材料的制备和性能 (以颗粒、大孔块、注射系统形式)；潜力 临床应用牙科和医学(包括牙槽骨 修复、盖髓、隆脊、无眼重建术， 骨科损伤、脊柱融合等)；以及潜在应用的研究 用于药物和激素输送以及组织工程。这次研讨会将带来 汇聚来自学术界和工业界的多学科基础科学家 化学家、物理学家、工程师、材料科学家、细胞生物学家、骨骼 生物学家、分子生物学家)：临床医生(牙医、骨科医生、 外科医生)和生物材料科学与工程专业的研究生。这 研讨会将提供一个互动和交流思想的论坛，并 潜在的研究伙伴关系和国际研究合作 生物材料、仿生学和组织工程领域。参赛者 学生将接触到新的令人兴奋的科学和知识，有助于 未来的博士后培训和/或国际研究伙伴关系以及 在非常重要的牙科和医学生物材料领域进行培训 申请。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Support is requested for the participation of American speakers (2) and graduate students (6) and contribution towards the publication of the proceedings of the 2001 International Symposium on Biphasic Phosphate Biomaterials. This international symposium will be held on June 30 and July 1 2001 at the Faculte Chirurgie Dentaire, Nantes University in Nantes, Frances. The focus of this symposium will be on Biphasic Calcium Phosphate Biomaterials for Medical and Dental Applications." Biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) biomaterials consist of mixtures of hydroxyapatite (HA) and tricalcium phosphate (b-TCP). BCP is commercially available in Europe, Japan and in South America as a bone substitute material. The biodegradation and bioactivity of BCP can be controlled by varying the HA/b-TCP ratios of the bioceramic, as demonstrated by the pioneering studies of the applicants. Symposium topics will include: preparation and properties of BCP biomaterials (in the form of granules, macroporous block, injectible system); potential clinical applications dentistry and medicine (which includes, alveolar bone repair, pulp-capping, ridge augmentation, anophthalmic reconstruction, orthopedic lesions, spine fusion, etc); and studies on potential applications for drug and hormone delivery and tissue engineering. The symposium will bring together multidisciplinary basic scientists from academia and industry (chemists, physicists, engineers, materials scientist, cell biologists, bone biologists, molecular biologists): clinicians (dentists, orthopedists, surgeons); and graduate students in biomaterials science and engineering. This symposium will provide a forum for interaction and exchange of ideas and potential research partnerships and international research collaborations in the area of biomaterials, biomimetics and tissue engineering. The participating students will be exposed to the new exciting sciences and knowledge helpful for future post-doctoral training and/or international research partnership and training in the very important field of biomaterials for dental and medical applications.
