Analysis of correlation degree between phase components and adsorptive amounts of serum proteins for DLC film / 生物医学工程学杂志

ABSTRACT

In the present paper, the influence of carbon phase components of three kinds of diamond like carbon (DLC) films, viz. DLC, DLC rich in graphite and DLC rich in diamond films, on adsorption of human serum albumin (HSA), human serum fibrinogen (HFG) and immunoglobin (IgG) was quantitatively analyzed by use of T-type correlation degree in the grey system theory. Through the analysis, the rational explanation for adsorptive amounts variations of the serum proteins with phase components in the experiment is reached and some essential conclusions have been obtained (1) The effect of graphite phase and C-H phase on HSA adsorption are greater than that of other phase components; with the increase of these two phase coumponents, the adsorptive amounts of HSA decrease; (2) The powerful influence on HFG adsorption stems from DLC phase and C-O phase; with the decrease of DLC phase or the increase of C-O phase, the adsorptive amounts of HFG increase; (3) All of the carbon phase components have only limited influence on IgG adsorption in positive or negative fashion with a little difference in degree; (4) DLC phase has both effects of enhancing adsorption for HSA and weakening adsorption for HFG and IgG, thus its influence on the hemocompatibility of DLC films is much more important than that of other phase components.
