Diffusion of Vanadium Ions in Artificial Saliva and Its Elimination from the Oral Cavity by Pharmacological Compounds Present in Mouthwashes. Biomolecules 2022; 12:biom12070947. [PMID: 35883503 PMCID: PMC9312900 DOI: 10.3390/biom12070947] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2022] [Revised: 06/28/2022] [Accepted: 06/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study, diffusion coefficients of ammonium vanadate at tracer concentrations in artificial saliva with and without sodium fluoride, at different pH values, were measured using an experimental model based on the Taylor dispersion technique. Ternary mutual diffusion coefficients (D11, D22, D12, and D21) for four aqueous systems {NH4VO3 (component 1) + β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) (component 2),} {NH4VO3 (component 1) + β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) (component 2)}, {NH4VO3 (component 1) + sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) (component 2)} and {NH4VO3 (component 1) + sodium hyaluronate (NaHy) (component 2)} at 25.00 °C were also measured by using the same technique. These data showed that diffusion of ammonium vanadate was strongly affected in all aqueous media studied. Furthermore, a significant coupled diffusion of this salt and β-CD was observed through the non-zero values of the cross-diffusion coefficients, D12, allowing us to conclude that there is a strong interaction between these two components. This finding is very promising considering the removal, from the oral cavity, of vanadium resulting from tribocorrosion of Ti-6Al-4V prosthetic devices.

Abstract
Abstract
This research investigates the optical and biocompatible properties of alkali-treated cpTi immersed in aspirin and different molecular weights of polyethylene (PEG). Instrumental characterizations were performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy. Additionally, drug release, antithrombotic, and cell adhesion studies were conducted in in-vitro conditions. The SEM micrographs showed that heat treatment of NaOH modified cpTi substrates increased the average surface pore size by 217%. Raman spectra’s active modes confirmed the presence of titanate groups which intensified the semiconductive nature of alkali-treated cpTi substrates. Further, the semiconductive nature was confirmed through the shift of the energy bandgap from 2.69 to 2.9 eV. The continuous redshift of the absorbance edge with an increase in the molecular weight of PEG indicates improved optical property. Following the Rigter–Peppas dynamic model, the drug release kinetics showed a non-Fickian dispersion (n < 1) and super case II transport (n = 2.21) for PEG-coated cpTi substrates. The alkali-treated cpTi-aspirin-PEG surface exhibits suitable antithrombotic property and interstitial cell adhesion with PEG coating. The modified surface on cpTi demonstrated a promising technique to improve the optical, antithrombotic, and biocompatibility performances, which are the prime requirement for the blood-interacted cardiovascular devices such as stents.

Abstract
Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology is an emerging technology in biomedical field due to its unique ability to manufacture customized implants [Patients-specific Implants (PSIs)] replicating the complex bone structure from the relevant metal powders. PSIs could be developed through any AM technology, but the ultimate challenge lies in integrating the metallic implant with the living bone. Considering this aspect, in the present study, Ti alloy (Ti–6Al–4V) powder has been used to fabricate scaffolds of channel type macropores with 0–60% porosity using selective laser melting (SLM) and subsequent post-treatments paving way for surface microporosities. Surface chemical and subsequent heat treatments were carried out on thus developed Ti alloy scaffolds to improve its bioactivity, antibacterial activity and osteoblastic cell compatibility. NaOH and subsequent Ca(NO3)2/AgNO3 treatment induced the formation of a nanoporous network structure decorated with Ca–Ag ions. Ag nanoparticles covering the entire scaffold provided antibacterial activity and the presence of Ca2+ ions with anatase TiO2 layer further improved the bioactivity and osteoblastic cell compatibility of the scaffold. Therefore, SLM technology combined with heat treatment and surface modification could be effectively utilized to create macro-micro-nano structure scaffolds of Ti alloy that are bioactive, antibacterial, and cytocompatible.

On-Growth and In-Growth Osseointegration Enhancement in PM Porous Ti-Scaffolds by Two Different Bioactivation Strategies: Alkali Thermochemical Treatment and RGD Peptide Coating. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23031750. [PMID: 35163682 PMCID: PMC8835960 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23031750] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2022] [Revised: 01/25/2022] [Accepted: 01/30/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
A lack of primary stability and osteointegration in metallic implants may result in implant loosening and failure. Adding porosity to metallic implants reduces the stress shielding effect and improves implant performance, allowing the surrounding bone tissue to grow into the scaffold. However, a bioactive surface is needed to stimulate implant osteointegration and improve mechanical stability. In this study, porous titanium implants were produced via powder sintering to create different porous diameters and open interconnectivity. Two strategies were used to generate a bioactive surface on the metallic foams: (1) an inorganic alkali thermochemical treatment, (2) grafting a cell adhesive tripeptide (RGD). RGD peptides exhibit an affinity for integrins expressed by osteoblasts, and have been reported to improve osteoblast adhesion, whereas the thermochemical treatment is known to improve titanium implant osseointegration upon implantation. Bioactivated scaffolds and control samples were implanted into the tibiae of rabbits to analyze the effect of these two strategies in vivo regarding bone tissue regeneration through interconnected porosity. Histomorphometric evaluation was performed at 4 and 12 weeks after implantation. Bone-to-implant contact (BIC) and bone in-growth and on-growth were evaluated in different regions of interest (ROIs) inside and outside the implant. The results of this study show that after a long-term postoperative period, the RGD-coated samples presented higher quantification values of quantified newly formed bone tissue in the implant's outer area. However, the total analyzed bone in-growth was observed to be slightly greater in the scaffolds treated with alkali thermochemical treatment. These results suggest that both strategies contribute to enhancing porous metallic implant stability and osteointegration, and a combination of both strategies might be worth pursuing.

Abstract
Modification of the titanium (Ti) surface is widely known to influence biological reactions such as protein adsorption and bacterial adhesion in vivo, ultimately controlling osseointegration. In this study, we sought to investigate the correlation of protein adsorption and bacterial adhesion with the nanoporous structure of acid-alkali-treated Ti implants, shedding light on the modification of Ti implants to promote osseointegration. We fabricated nontreated porous Ti (NTPT) by powder metallurgy and immersed it in mixed acids and NaOH to obtain acid-alkali-treated porous Ti (AAPT). Nontreated dense sample (NTDT) served as control. Our results showed that nanopores were formed after acid-alkali treatment. AAPT showed a higher specific surface area and became much more hydrophilic than NTPT and NTDT (p < 0.001). Compared to dense samples, porous samples exhibited a lower zeta potential and higher adsorbed protein level at each time point within 120 min (p < 0.001). AAPT formed a thicker protein layer by serum precoating than NTPT and NTDT (p < 0.001). The main adsorbed proteins on AAPT and NTPT were albumin, α1 antitrypsin, transferrin, apolipoprotein A1, complement C3 and haptoglobin α1 chain. The amounts of bacteria adhering to the serum-precoated samples were lower than those adhering to the nonprecoated samples (p < 0.05). Lower-molecular-weight proteins showed higher affinity to porous Ti. In conclusion, acid-alkali treatment facilitated protein adsorption by porous Ti, and the protein coating tended to prevent bacteria from adhering. These findings may be utilized for Ti implant modification aimed at reducing bacterial adhesion and enhancing osseointegration. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
The surface modification of titanium substrates and its alloys in order to improve their osseointegration properties is one of widely studied issues related to the design and production of modern orthopedic and dental implants. In this paper, we discuss the results concerning Ti6Al4V substrate surface modification by (a) alkaline treatment with a 7 M NaOH solution, and (b) production of a porous coating (anodic oxidation with the use of potential U = 5 V) and then treating its surface in the abovementioned alkaline solution. We compared the apatite-forming ability of unmodified and surface-modified titanium alloy in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 1–4 weeks. Analysis of the X-ray diffraction patterns of synthesized coatings allowed their structure characterization before and after immersing in SBF. The obtained nanolayers were studied using Raman spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFT), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. Elemental analysis was carried out using X-ray energy dispersion spectroscopy (SEM EDX). Wettability and biointegration activity (on the basis of the degree of integration of MG-63 osteoblast-like cells, L929 fibroblasts, and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells cultured in vitro on the sample surface) were also evaluated. The obtained results proved that the surfaces of Ti6Al4V and Ti6Al4V covered by TiO2 nanoporous coatings, which were modified by titanate layers, promote apatite formation in the environment of body fluids and possess optimal biointegration properties for fibroblasts and osteoblasts.

Abstract
A novel strategy to improve the success of soft and hard tissue integration of titanium implants is the use of nanoparticles coatings made from basically any type of biocompatible substance, which can advantageously enhance the properties of the material, as compared to its similar bulk material. So, most of the physical methods approaches involve the compaction of nanoparticles versus micron-level particles to yield surfaces with nanoscale grain boundaries, simultaneously preserving the chemistry of the surface among different topographies. At the same time, nanoparticles have been known as one of the most effective antibacterial agents and can be used as effective growth inhibitors of various microorganisms as an alternative to antibiotics. In this paper, based on literature research, we present a comprehensive review of the mechanical, physical, and chemical methods for creating nano-structured titanium surfaces along with the main nanoparticles used for the surface modification of titanium implants, the fabrication methods, their main features, and the purpose of use. We also present two patented solutions which involve nanoparticles to be used in cranioplasty, i.e., a cranial endoprosthesis with a sliding system to repair the traumatic defects of the skull, and a cranial implant based on titanium mesh with osteointegrating structures and functional nanoparticles. The main outcomes of the patented solutions are: (a) a novel geometry of the implant that allow both flexible adaptation of the implant to the specific anatomy of the patient and the promotion of regeneration of the bone tissue; (b) porous structure and favorable geometry for the absorption of impregnated active substances and cells proliferation; (c) the new implant model fit 100% on the structure of the cranial defect without inducing mechanical stress; (d) allows all kinds of radiological examinations and rapid osteointegration, along with the patient recover in a shorter time.

Abstract
Our purpose was to physically characterize the surface, and the subsurface, of a macro- and micro-textured titanium grade 5 dental implant surface obtained by etching only, without sandblasting. The topography, surface roughness, as well as the surface structure and subsurface distribution of elements, were determined by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), non-contact profilometry, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and a concentration profile performed by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). The hydrogen concentration in the implants was measured; the ability to generate nanostructures when stored in deionized water was also investigated. Under SEM, the surface resembled a sandblasted and etched titanium surface with its typical macro- and micro-texture; roughness was moderate with average roughness (Sa) 1.29 µm. No titanium hydride was found at the implant surface and no enrichment of any alloying element was identified at the surface and subsurface. Hydrogen concentration was 79 ppm, within the normative tolerance (<130 ppm). After storage in water for 6 months, densely packed finger-like nanostructures were observed. The clinical advantage of this textured titanium alloy surface is that it displays the typical macro- and micro-features of a moderately rough sandblasted and etched (SLA) titanium surface without leaving behind any foreign sandblasting material.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of Deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) coating on initial adhesion and biofilm formation of peri-implant bacteria. Titanium (Ti), Ti-polydopamine (Ti-PDOP), Ti-PDOP-DNase I and Ti-PDOP-inactivated DNase I samples were studied. The FE-SEM, EDS and XPS were used to confirm that DNase I was coated onto Ti. The initial adhesion and biofilm formation of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A.a) and Fusobacterium nucleatum (F.n) were observed by CLSM. The osteogenic induction of Ti-PDOP-DNase I on MC3T3-E1 cells was investigated by ALP activity and RT-PCR. The adhesion clearance rate of viable bacteria on the surfaces of Ti-PDOP-DNase I was 91.95% for A.a, and 96.37% for F.n, and the 24 h biofilm formation of the bacteria was significantly inhibited. In addition, on DNase I coating, the mRNA level of osteogenic marker genes (alp, opn, bsp, sp7) and the activity of ALP were both up-regulated. Therefore, DNase I coating could be an alternative approach for preventing implant-related infection.

Abstract
Ti6Al4V alloy is still attracting great interest because of its application as an implant material for hard tissue repair. This research aims to produce and investigate in-situ chitosan/hydroxyapatite (CS/HA) nanocomposite coatings based on different amounts of HA (10, 50 and 60 wt.%) on alkali-treated Ti6Al4V substrate through the sol-gel process to enhance in vitro bioactivity. The influence of different contents of HA on the morphology, contact angle, roughness, adhesion strength, and in vitro bioactivity of the CS/HA coatings was studied. Results confirmed that, with increasing the HA content, the surface morphology of crack-free CS/HA coatings changed for nucleation modification and HA nanocrystals growth, and consequently, the surface roughness of the coatings increased. Furthermore, the bioactivity of the CS/HA nanocomposite coatings enhanced bone-like apatite layer formation on the material surface with increasing HA content. Moreover, CS/HA nanocomposite coatings were biocompatible and, in particular, CS/10 wt.% HA composition significantly promoted human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) proliferation. In particular, these results demonstrate that the treatment strategy used during the bioprocess was able to improve in vitro properties enough to meet the clinical performance. Indeed, it is predicted that the dense and crack-free CS/HA nanocomposite coatings suggest good potential application as dental implants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To elucidate the bioactivity and bone regeneration of porous titanium surfaces treated using acid-alkali combination, and to define the optimal alkali reaction time. METHODS Ten groups of porous Ti with at least 3 per group undergoing different acid-alkali treated time were prepared. The surface was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), bicinchoninic acid method (BCA), optical contact angle measurement and Raman spectrometry. Compression testing was performed with a universal testing machine. The bioactivity and osteoinduction were evaluated by a series of biological tests using a simulated body fluid (SBF) test, cell proliferation test, vinculin, ALP and OCN expression, and cell mineralization. RESULTS The acid-alkali treatment formed micro- and nano-scale structures on the sample surfaces. The alkali treatment for 12 h achieved the sharpest nano-scale surface relief and the most protein absorption. The treated porous surface was coated with a NaHTiO3 layer. The acid-alkali etching did not compromise the elastic modulus and compressive strength of the porous Ti samples. In addition to hydroxyapatite, a perovskite phase was also formed on the treated porous samples in SBF. Non-treated dense Ti showed more cell adhesion and proliferation (P < 0.05), while osteoinduction and mineralization were more pronounced on the treated porous sample (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Acid-alkali treatment is an effective means of generating nano-scale relief on porous Ti surface, and is beneficial for bioactivity and bone regeneration. The 15 min acid and 12 h alkali etching is the optimal combination. The osteoinductive efficacy may be attributable to the surface physical chemistry and the formation of hydroxyapatite and perovskite layers, rather than direct cell adhesion and proliferation.

Effect of surface alkali-based treatment of titanium implants on ability to promote in vitro mineralization and in vivo bone formation. Acta Biomater 2017; 57:511-523.

Abstract
This study investigated whether a novel alkali-based surface modification enhances in vitro mineralization as well as in vivo bone formation around titanium (Ti) implants in a femoral condyle model of 36 male Wister rats. All implant surfaces were grit-blasted and then received either acid-etching treatment, alkali-based treatment, or were left untreated (controls). Histological and histomorphometrical analyses were performed on retrieved specimens after 4 and 8weeks of healing to assess peri-implant bone formation. Results of implants surface characterisation showed notable differences in the topography and composition of alkali-treated surfaces, reflecting the formation of submicron-structured alkali-titanate layer. In the in vitro test, alkali-treated Ti surfaces showed the ability to stimulate mineralization upon soaking in simulated body fluid (SBF). In vivo histomorphometrical analyses showed similar values for bone area (BA%) and bone-to-implant contact (BIC%) for all experimental groups after both 4- and 8-week implantation periods. In conclusion, the surface topography and composition of the grit-blasted Ti implants was significantly modified using alkali-based treatment. With respect to the present in vivo model, the biological performance of alkali-treated Ti implants is comparable to the commercially available, grit-blasted, acid-etched Ti implants. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Since success rate of dental implants might be challenged in bone of low density, an optimum implant surface characteristic is demanding. In this work, alkali treatment of Ti implants showed significant advantage of surface mineralization upon soaking in simulated body fluid. Using an in vivo rat model, Ti surfaces with either acid-etching treatment or alkali-based treatment evoked robust bone formation around Ti implants. Such information may be utilized for the advancement of biomaterials research for bone implants in future.

Abstract
Owing to their unique properties and unlimited structural combinations, the ubiquitous use of ionic liquids (ILs) is steadily increasing. The objective of the present work is to shed light onto the effects of amidinium- and phosphonium-based ILs on phospholipid vesicles using a nanoplasmonic sensing measurement technique. A new and relatively simple method was developed for the immobilization of large unilamellar vesicles on two different hydrophilic surfaces composed of titanium dioxide and silicon nitride nanolayers. Among the pretreatment conditions studied, vesicle attachment on both substrate materials was achieved with HEPES buffer in the presence of sodium hydroxide and calcium chloride. To get an understanding of how ILs interact with intact vesicles or with supported lipid bilayers, the ILs 1,5-diazabicyclo(4.3.0)non-5-enium acetate ([DBNH][OAc]), tributyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium acetate ([P14444][OAc]), and tributylmethylphosphonium acetate ([P4441][OAc]) were introduced into the biomimetic system, and the characteristics of their interactions with the immobilized vesicles were determined. Depending on the IL, in situ real-time IL binding and/or phospholipid removal processes were observed. Although [DBNH][OAc] did not have any significant effect on the phospholipid vesicles, the strongest and the most significant effect was observed with [P14444][OAc]. The latter caused clear changes in the phospholipid bilayer: the ILs interacted with the bilayers, resulting in deformation of the vesicles most probably due to the formation of vesicle-IL aggregates. Only a mild effect was observed when [P4441][OAc], at a very high concentration, was exposed to the intact vesicles. In general, these results led to new insights into the effects of ILs on phospholipid vesicles, which are of great importance to the overall understanding of the harmfulness of ILs on biomembranes and biomimicking systems. In addition, the present work highlights the pivotal role of this highly surface-sensitive indirect biosensing technique in scrutinizing and dissecting the integrity and architecture of phospholipid vesicles in the nanoscale range.

Abstract
Titanium and its alloy are known as important load-bearing biomaterials. The major drawbacks of these metals are fibrous formation and low corrosion rate after implantation. The surface modification of biomedical implants through various methods such as plasma spray improves their osseointegration and clinical lifetime. Different materials have been already used as coatings on biomedical implant, including calcium phosphates and bioglass. However, these materials have been reported to have limited clinical success. The excellent bioactivity of calcium silicate (Ca-Si) has been also regarded as coating material. However, their high degradation rate and low mechanical strength limit their further coating application. Trace element modification of (Ca-Si) bioceramics is a promising method, which improves their mechanical strength and chemical stability. In this review, the potential of trace element-modified silicate coatings on better bone formation of titanium implant is investigated.

Abstract
The effect of alkali and nitric acid surface treatments on the adhesion of Staphylococcus epidermidis to the surface of 60% porous open-cell Ti6Al4V foam was investigated. The resultant surface roughness of foam particles was determined from the ground flat surfaces of thin foam specimens. Alkali treatment formed a porous, rough Na2Ti5O11 surface layer on Ti6Al4V particles, while nitric acid treatment increased the number of undulations on foam flat and particle surfaces, leading to the development of finer surface topographical features. Both surface treatments increased the nanometric-scale surface roughness of particles and the number of bacteria adhering to the surface, while the adhesion was found to be significantly higher in alkali-treated foam sample. The significant increase in the number of bacterial attachment on the alkali-treated sample was attributed to the formation of a highly porous and nanorough Na2Ti5O11 surface layer.

Abstract
In order to optimize the creation of a nanostructured surface on Ti6Al4V titanium alloy, an alkali treatment was performed using a 10-M NaOH solution at various temperatures (30, 40, 50, and 60°C) so as to determine the optimal temperature. This was combined with subsequent heat treatments (200, 400, 600, and 800°C) in air. The effects of different temperatures for the latter treatments on the nanostructure surface and the initial cell adhesion were evaluated, and the optimal temperature of the alkali solution was found to be 30°C. Further, the nanotopography, surface chemistry, and surface roughness of the nanoporous structure were retained after heat treatments performed at 200, 400, and 600°C, and only the phase structure was altered. The amorphous sodium titanate phase, the content of which increased with increased heat-treatment temperature, may have played a role in promoting cell adhesion on the nanoporous surface. However, heat treatment at 800°C did not enhance the cell-surface attachment. Rather, the nanostructure degraded significantly with the reappearance of Al and V.

Abstract
Changes in the physical and chemical properties of Ti surfaces can be attributed to cell performance, which improves surface biocompatibility. The cell proliferation, mineralization ability, and gene expression of progenitor bone cells (D1 cell) were compared on five different Ti surfaces, namely, mechanical grinding (M), electrochemical modification through potentiostatic anodization (ECH), sandblasting and acid etching (SLA), sandblasting, hydrogen peroxide treatment, and heating (SAOH), and sandblasting, alkali heating, and etching (SMART). SAOH treatment produced the most hydrophilic surface, whereas SLA produced the most hydrophobic surface. Cell activity indicated that SLA and SMART produced significantly rougher surfaces and promoted D1 cell attachment within 1 day of culturing, whereas SAOH treatment produced moderate roughness (Ra=1.26μm) and accelerated the D1 cell proliferation up to 7 days after culturing. The ECH surface significantly promoted alkaline phosphatase (ALP) expression and osteocalcin (OCN) secretion in the D1 cells compared with the other surface groups. The ECH and SMART-treated Ti surfaces resulted in maximum ALP and OCN expressions during the D1 cell culture. SLA, SAOH, and SMART substrate surfaces were rougher and exhibited better cell metabolic responses during the early stage of cell attachment, proliferation, and morphologic expressions within 1 day of D1 cell culture. The D1 cells cultured on the ECH and SMART substrates exhibited higher differentiation, and higher ALP and OCN expressions after 10 days of culture. Thus, the ECH and SMART treatments promote better ability of cell mineralization in vitro, which demonstrate their great potential for clinical use.

Abstract
This work investigated the ability of electropolished Ti surface to induce Hydroxyapatite (HA) nucleation and growth in vitro via a biomimetic method in Simulated Body Fluid (SBF). The HA induction ability of Ti surface upon electropolishing was compared to that of Ti substrates modified with common chemical methods including alkali, acidic and hydrogen peroxide treatments. Our results revealed the excellent ability of electropolished Ti surfaces in inducing the formation of bone-like HA at the Ti/SBF interface. The chemical composition, crystallinity and thickness of the HA coating obtained on the electropolished Ti surface was found to be comparable to that achieved on the surface of alkali treated Ti substrate, one of the most effective and popular chemical treatments. The surface characteristics of electropolished Ti contributing to HA growth were discussed thoroughly.

Abstract
Surface immobilization with active functional molecules (AFMs) on a nano-scale is a main field in the current biomaterial research. The functionalization of a vast number of substances and molecules, ranging from inorganic calcium phosphates, peptides and proteins, has been investigated throughout recent decades. However, in vitro and in vivo results are heterogeneous. This may be attributed partially to the limits of the applied immobilization methods. Therefore, this paper highlights the advantages and limitations of the currently applied methods for the biological nano-functionalization of titanium-based biomaterial surfaces. The second part describes a newer immobilization system, using the nanomechanical fixation of at least partially single-stranded nucleic acids (NAs) into an anodic titanium oxide layer as an immobilization principle and their hybridization ability for the functionalization of the surface with active functional molecules conjugated to the respective complementary NA strands.

Abstract
The host response to titanium and its alloys is not always favorable, as a fibrous layer may form at the skeletal tissue-device interface, causing aseptic loosening. Therefore, a great deal of current orthopedic research is focused on developing implants with improved osseointegration properties in order to increase their clinical success. Promising new studies have been reported regarding coating the currently available implants with various coating materials and techniques so as to improve the long-term stability of implants. This article will discuss various coating materials developed, their advantages and disadvantages as coating materials and their biological performance.

Abstract
We demonstrate an approach for the coating of nanostructured hydroxyapatite(HAP)/TiO(2) composite on commercially pure Ti (CP-Ti) by a co-sputtering process. HAP/TiO(2) composite film was obtained by controlling the processing pressure. It was observed that decomposition of HAP into CaO was easily induced during sputtering at 0.53 Pa, a typical sputtering condition for film deposition. However, HAP/TiO(2) composite film was obtained with the sputtering pressure of 2.67 Pa. The Ca/P ratio was nearly maintained at 1.66 by sputter deposition at 2.67 Pa. We further confirmed by analysis of plasma spectral emission that the variation of the hydroxyl (OH) radical present was due to the Ar pressure during sputtering. It has been shown that HAP coatings are dependent on the processing pressure, which the hydroxyl radical requires in order to create HAP.

Abstract
Titanium and some of its alloys are widely used as load-bearing implant materials. In particular, titanium-zirconium (Ti-Zr) alloys have a high potential for biomedical applications due to the excellent biocompatibility of both Ti and Zr. Nevertheless, the surfaces of the Ti-Zr alloys need to be modified to provide the implant material’s bioactivity. In the present study, an alkali-heat (AH) treatment process followed by the soaking in simulated body fluid (SBF) was attempted for the preparation of calcium phosphate (CaP) coatings on the surface of the TiZr alloy. Phase transformation, surface morphology, and interfacial microstructure were investigated using scanning electron microscope (SEM) with an energy-dispersive electron probe X-ray analyser (EDS). The results indicate that the AH treatment produced a nano-porous bioactive sodium titanate / zirconate hydrogel surface layer which induced the deposition of a Ca-P layer during soaking in the SBF. This Ca-P layer on the TiZr alloy surface can be expected to bond to the surrounding bones directly after implantation.

Abstract
The driving force and nucleation rate of calcium phosphate (Ca-P) precipitation in simulated body fluid (SBF) were analyzed based on the classical crystallization theory. SBF supersaturation with respect to hydroxyapatite (HA), octacalcium phosphate (OCP) and dicalcium phosphate (DCPD) was carefully calculated, considering all the association/dissociation reactions of related ion groups in SBF. The nucleation rates of Ca-P were calculated based on a kinetics model of heterogeneous nucleation. The analysis indicates that the nucleation rate of OCP is substantially higher than that of HA, while HA is most thermodynamically stable in SBF. The difference in nucleation rates between HA and OCP reduces with increasing pH in SBF. The HA nucleation rate is comparable with that of OCP when the pH value approaches 10. DCPD precipitation is thermodynamically impossible in normal SBF, unless calcium and phosphate ion concentrations of SBF increase. In such case, DCPD precipitation is the most likely because of its highest nucleation rates among Ca-P phases. We examined the influences of different SBF recipes, interfacial energies, contact angle and molecular volumes, and found that the parameter variations do not have significant impacts on analysis results. The effects of carbonate incorporation and calcium deficiency in HA were also estimated with available data. Generally, such apatite precipitations are more kinetically favorable than HA.

Abstract
Formation of calcium phosphate on alkali- and heat-treated titanium surfaces was investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The samples were prepared by immersing the alkali- and heat-treated titanium in a revised simulated body fluid (R-SBF) with the same HCO(3)(-) concentration level as in human blood plasma. The deposition and precipitation on treated titanium surfaces were extracted for TEM examination without thinning process. Electron diffraction of the precipitates revealed that octacalcium phosphate (OCP), instead of hydroxyapatite (HA), directly nucleates from amorphous calcium phosphate. The OCP crystals continuously grew on the titanium surfaces rather than transforming into apatite. Calcium titanate was also identified by electron diffraction. Its role in the formation bioactive calcium phosphate, however, is not clear from this experiment.

Abstract
The geometric design and chemical compositions of an implant surface may have an important part in affecting early implant stabilization and influencing tissue healing. In this study, in vivo behavior and mechanical stability in implants of three surface designs, which were smooth surface (SS), rough titanium (Ti) surface by plasma spray coating (PSC), and alkali- and heat-treated (AHT) Ti surface after plasma spray coating, were compared by histological and mechanical analyses. Surface morphologies of the implants were observed by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Chemical compositional surface changes were investigated by energy dispersive spectroscopy. The implants were inserted transversely in a dog thighbone and evaluated at 4 weeks of healing. At 4 weeks of healing after implantation in bone, the healing tissue was more extensively integrated with an AHT implant than with the implants of smooth (SS) and/or rough Ti surfaces (PSC). The bone bonding strength (pull-out force) between living bone and implant was observed by a universal testing machine. At 4 weeks' healing after implant placement in bone, the pull-out forces of the SS, PSC, and AHT implants were 235 (+/-34.25), 710 (+/-142.25), and 823 (+/-152.22) N, respectively. Histological and mechanical data demonstrate that appropriate surface design selection can improve early bone growth and induce an acceleration of the healing response, thereby improving the potential for implant osseointegration.

Abstract
Ti and Ti-based alloys have been widely used for the biomedical applications due to their superiorities of biocompatibility, mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. However, there has been the limiting factor for these metals to show the low affinity to the living bone. Most of commercially used Ti alloys have harmful alloying elements such as Al, V, etc. The purposes of this study are design of new Ti alloy having the good mechanical properties and corrosion resistivity without harmful alloying elements and to improve the bone-bonding ability between Ti-based alloy and living bone through the chemically activated process (alkali treatment) and thermally activated one (heat treatment). Mechanical properties of the Ti-In-Nb-Ta alloy were observed by tensile test (Instron model 8511). Corrosion potential and corrosion rate were investigated using a Potentiostate machine (EG&G, Princeton Applied Model 273, Boston, USA) with saline solution (9% NaCl) without dissolved oxygen at 37 degrees C. After alkali and heat treatments, the effects of the pre-treatments on the bonding property were evaluated by in vitro test. In this study, the surface changing behavior, which is apatite formation, of newly designed Ti-In-Nb-Ta alloy without harmful alloying elements was investigated through analyzing its surface by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy after surface activation treatments (alkali and heat treatments) and after subsequent soaking in the simulated body fluid.
