About

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the systemic impact of salting out of trace elements (TE) by metallic and nonmetallic implantable medical devices (IMD) and in particular the immune response of the organism to these trace elements and of their target organs, and to identify circulating protein biomarkers which might indicate an evolution of inflammation caused by an IMD.

Full description

As secondary objectives, the study aims:

  • to establish the norms of concentrations of free TE and nanoparticles for some forty of elements (in particular Chrome, Cobalt, Nickel, Titanium, Tantalum, Zirconium, Tungsten, Gold, Silver, Mercury, Molybdenum, Strontium ...) in different materials (blood, urine, hair and the viscera), with non-IMD holder subjects, before and after mineralization of these materials (dead patients and autopsied non-IMD holder subjects and subjects before placement of IMD.
  • to evaluate the distribution of concentrations of metals in the same materials and in peri-prothetic environment with IMD holder subjects (dead autopsied patients), more often with no inflammatory sign, with possibility of some probably inflammatory IMD.
  • to evaluate the parameters of distributions of concentrations of metals in same materials (with the exception of the viscera) with living IMD holder patients, with inflammatory reaction (during revision surgery).
  • to define the most suitable material (accessibility, concentrations, absence of contamination) for follow-up and evolution of inflammation in order to determinate norms of studied metals concentration.
  • to determinate proportion between different forms of circulation: particulate form (analysis after full mineralization) or free form (analysis without mineralization, permitting measurement of free forms), trace elements in organism.
