1.	Suppuration 03/01/2006 - "Polyurethanes (PUs) with soft blocks containing semifluorinated (-CH2OCH2CF3) and 5,5-dimethylhydantoin pendant groups were prepared and employed (2 wt%) as biocidal polymeric surface modifiers (PSMs) for a conventional PU coating comprised of an isophorone diisocyanate/1,4-butanediol-derived hard block (50%) and poly(tetramethylene oxide) soft block. " 04/01/2016 - "PurSil®AL20 (PUS), a copolymer of 4,4'-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate (HMDI), 1,4-butane diol (BD), poly-tetramethylene oxide (PTMO) and poly-dimethyl siloxane (PDMS) was investigated for stability as a vehicle for Docetaxel (DTX) delivery through oesophageal drug eluting stent (DES). " 12/01/2016 - "In this study, in order to prepare biomedical polyurethane elastomers with good mechanical behavior and biodegradability, a series of novel polyester-polyether- based polyurethanes (PUs) were synthesized using a two-step bulk reaction by melting pre-polymer method, taking 1,4-Butanediol (BDO) as chain extender, hexamethylene diisocyanate as the hard segment, and poly (tetramethylene ether) glycol (PTMEG) and poly (ε-caprolactone diol) (PCL-Diol) as the soft segment without a catalyst. "
2.	Carcinogenesis 01/01/1995 - "A possible mechanism of tumorigenesis induced by the polyetherurethanes (PEUs) is clarified as follows: the tumor-promoting activities of the PEUs were stronger than the initiating activities; the promotion was facilitated by the polyether soft segment moiety such as poly (tetramethylene oxide) (PTMO), resulting in the inhibition of the gap-junctional intercellular communication; this inhibition was caused by leachable oligomers, degradation, and direct cell/material interaction.
