Surface modification of poly(dimethylsiloxane) with a covalent antithrombin–heparin complex for the prevention of thrombosis: use of polydopamine as bonding agent
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A modified poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) material is under development for use in an extracorporeal microfluidic blood oxygenator designed as an artificial placenta to treat newborn infants suffering from severe respiratory insufficiency. To prevent thrombosis triggered by blood-material contact, an antithrombin-heparin (ATH) covalent complex was coated on PDMS surface using polydopamine (PDA) as a "bioglue". Experiments using radiolabelled ATH showed that the ATH coating on PDA-modified PDMS remained substantially intact after incubation in plasma, 2% SDS solution, or whole blood over a three day period. The anticoagulant activity of the ATH-modified surfaces was also demonstrated: in contact with plasma the ATH-coated PDMS was shown to bind antithrombin (AT) selectively from plasma and to inhibit clotting factor Xa. It is concluded that modification of PDMS with polydopamine and ATH shows promise as a means of improving the blood compatibility of PDMS and hence of the oxygenator device.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
