  • Patent number: 8648178
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for purifying a protein belonging to the TGF-?, superfamily, preferably BMP, and more preferably BMP-2. According to the invention, the number of purification steps is reduced and the purification process is simplified, compared to the conventional BMP-2 purification method. Thus, the time required for purification can be shortened and the cost can be reduced. In addition, the invention solves the problem that as the time for purification increases and the number of purification steps increases, BMP-2 is degraded by protease or lost during purification steps, resulting in a decrease in the final yield of BMP-2. Thus, the invention increases the final yield of BMP-2.

  • Patent number: 8431623
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for forming a porous poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) scaffold using a pore-forming agent, comprising: mixing PVA with the pore-forming agent to form micropores in the PVA scaffold and using an easily decomposable pore-forming agent after the formation of the pores to improve convenience and reduce the processing time in manufacturing the porous PVA scaffold as well as to enable a pore size and porosity to be selected. A process for forming a porous PVA scaffold using a pore-forming agent according to the present invention includes heating to melt the PVA, cooling the melted PVA and mixing the PVA with a heat-decomposable pore-forming agent, repeating the freezing/thawing of the mixed PVA to cure the PVA mixture, and stirring the cured PVA mixture with a hydrochloric acid solution at a high temperature of 65° C. or more to produce foam.

  • Patent number: 8409623
    Abstract: A cancellous bone graft substitute and a method of manufacturing the cancellous bone graft substitute are provided, and more particularly, a cancellous bone graft substitute and a method of manufacturing the cancellous bone graft substitute by which defatting, demineralizing, cleaning, and sterilizing processes are performed within a short time using a supersonic cabitation without damaging a surface and an inside of a bone tissue so as to further rapidly, effectively supply an allogeneic or xenogeneic bone graft substitute. Internal and external concentrations of Ca++ of the allogeneic or xenogeneic bone graft substitute are effectively removed so as to maintain physical properties of the allogenetic or xenogeneic bone graft substitute.

  • Patent number: 8080036
    Abstract: A pedicle screw is provided to be inserted into and fixed to a pedicle of a spinal disease patient, and more particularly, a pedicle screw in which a screw thread of a clamp screw is formed to have dents and protrusions with trapezoid cross-sections so as to form a predetermined gap with a screw thread of a fixing unit having dents and protrusions with rectangular cross-sections when the clamp screw is combined with the fixing unit, and the screw thread of the clamp screw has different pitches to disperse an external impact so as to further firmly combine the clamp screw with the fixing unit.
