Opis:
The objectives of this study were to confirm the shape memory behavior of two new bioresorbable terpolymers (L-lactide, glycolide, and trimethylene carbonate: L-PLGTMC and B-PLGTMC), to follow the influence of the shape memory process on their surface properties and to test their cytocompatibility using osteoblast-like cells. For this purpose, foils of both terpolymers were prepared. The terpolymers' ability to recover up to 92-93% of the memorized shape within 10 seconds was obtained. The influence of shape memory process on the surface properties was assessed by water contact angle (WCA) measurement and atomic force microscopy (AFM) and the results suggested that both terpolymers preserved the hydrophilicity after recovery and also that B-PLGTMC polymer was rougher than L-PLGTMC (about 9 folds more). The AFM pictures showed the presence of spherical shape hills on the B-PLGTMC foil surface which after the stretching procedure became oriented toward the direction of the applied load. The terpolymers were seeded on both sides (Top and Bottom faces) with human MG63 osteoblast-like cells. Cell viability was assessed after 1, 3 and 7 days, using MTT assay. Results revealed an increasing number of metabolically active cells with the incubation time, suggesting, together with nitric oxide (NO) level determination, the cytocompatibility of both terpolymers. Cell spreading and morphology were investigated by H&E staining and obtained results corresponded well with ones of MTT and NO.

Opis:
The purpose of the study was to analyze the relationships between sprint swimming performance, dry-land power, and kinematics in master swimmers. Twenty-two male master swimmers were separated in two groups based on their chronological age: (i) 30–39 years and; (ii) 40–49 years. Maximum dry-land power was determined through counter movement jump and 3 kg medicine ball throwing (Hmax and Tmax, respectively). Kinematic determinants of performance were measured during a maximal bout of 15, 25 and 50 m front crawl (T15, T25, T50). Stroke frequency (SF), stroke length (SL) and stroke index (SI) were calculated as kinematical aspects of the stroke. In the 30-39 group, SI25 was correlated to T25 (r = –0.76, p < 0.01, η2 = 0.96), the same was observed between SI50 and T50 (r = –0.83, p < 0.01, η2 = 0.96). Only SI50 was significantly correlated to T50 (r = –0.86, p < 0.01, η2 = 0.97) in the 40–49 years age cohort. In dryland power variables, Hmax and Tmax were only correlated in the younger master swimmers group (r = –0.87, p < 0.01, η2 = 0.97). There were no significant differences (p < 0.05) between younger (30–39 years) and older (40–49 years) swimmers groups in dry-land tests (Hmax 28.5 ± 5.9 vs. 26.5 ± 3.9 cm and Tmax 4.2 ± 1.0 vs. 4.2 ± 1.1 m). Our results suggest that swimming performance in younger master swimmers (30–39 years) seem more dependent on kinematic swimming variables than on strength parameters, which were most related to swimming performance in the older master swimmers (40–49 years).
