Abstract
We have developed a method to functionalize polystyrene (PS) cell culture plates with hydroxyapatite (HAp) via protein adsorption layers such as human serum albumin (HSA) in simulated body fluids (SBFs). In order to investigate the versatility the method, in this study the effect of protein adsorption layers on HAp deposition on PS plate surfaces in SBF was evaluated. Pretreatments with alternate soaking process (ASP) using solutions containing calcium ions and phosphate ions followed by incubation with SBF for 24 h resulted in HAp deposition on PS plates with adsorption layers of HSA, type I collagen, hen egg white lysozyme, and poly L-glutamic acid, an acidic protein analogue: the deposition behaviors were correlated with adsorption ability and charge state of proteins. We also demonstrated that commercially available tissue culture-treated PS (TCPS) were directly coated with bone-like HAp using the same ASP and SBF processes. Human mesenchymal stem cells adhered and stretched on the HAp-coated TCPS plates in a similar manner to the case of the HAp-coated PS plates prepared via HSA adsorption layers. The results indicate that the present methods are useful for preparing bone-like HAp-coated cell culture plates that can be utilized function of adsorbed proteins and that are obtainable conveniently and at low-cost.

Abstract
The surfaces of polystyrene (PS) cell culture plates were functionalized with hydroxyapatite (HAp) under body fluid conditions utilizing protein adsorption layers and a pretreatment with an alternate soaking process (ASP) using solutions containing calcium and phosphate ions. Adsorption layers of human serum albumin (HSA) formed on the surface of each well of commercial 24-well PS plates by solution processes. CaCl2 and K2HPO4 solutions were alternately added to the wells, the plates were incubated to form the precursors, and this was followed by the addition of simulated body fluid (SBF) and a further incubation for 24h. These treatments resulted in the surfaces of the PS cell culture plates being completely covered with bone-like HAp. The coating of PS plates with HAp promoted the adhesion of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and maintained cell growth that was as fast as that on tissue culture-treated PS (TCPS) plates. Osteogenic differentiation was greater, whereas adipogenic and chondrogenic differentiation was less in the culture on HAp-coated PS plates than in that on TCPS plates. The present method is useful for preparing HAp-coated PS plates at clean benches without the need for any expensive apparatus. HAp coated on PS plates by this method was a bone-like apatite with high bioactivity; therefore, the present HAp-coated PS plates are promising materials for assays of bone-related cells in the bone remodeling process.

Abstract
The success of scaffold-based bone regeneration approaches strongly depends on the performance of the biomaterial utilized. Within the efforts of regenerative medicine towards a restitutio ad integrum (i.e. complete reconstruction of a diseased tissue), scaffolds should be completely degraded within an adequate period of time. The degradation of synthetic bone substitute materials involves both chemical dissolution (physicochemical degradation) and resorption (cellular degradation by osteoclasts). Responsible for bone resorption are osteoclasts, cells of haematopoietic origin. Osteoclasts play also a crucial role in bone remodelling, which is essential for the regeneration of bone defects. There is, however, surprisingly limited knowledge about the detailed effects of osteoclasts on biomaterials degradation behaviour. This review covers the relevant fundamental knowledge and progress made in the field of osteoclast activity related to biomaterials used for bone regeneration. In vitro studies with osteoclastic precursor cells on synthetic bone substitute materials show that there are specific parameters that inhibit or enhance resorption. Moreover, analyses of the bone-material interface reveal that biomaterials composition has a significant influence on their degradation in contact with osteoclasts. Crystallinity, grain size, surface bioactivity and density of the surface seem to have a less significant effect on osteoclastic activity. In addition, the topography of the scaffold surface can be tailored to affect the development and spreading of osteoclast cells. The present review also highlights possible areas on which future research is needed and which are relevant to enhance our understanding of the complex role of osteoclasts in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
PROJECT Aluminum (Al) is an increasing problem in biomedicine since it can interact with phosphates. Bone is one of the preferential target tissues of Al deposition: Al interacts with mineralization and/or bone cell activities. We searched the influence of Al deposition in hydroxyapatite developed on a biomimetic polymer (carboxymethylated poly(2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate)) which mimics bone mineralization in the absence of cells. PROCEDURES Pellets of polymer were incubated for 5 days in a synthetic body fluid (SBF) to induce mineralization, then 21 days in SBF containing 20, 40 and 60 μg/L Al(3+). Other pellets were incubated in SBF containing commercial Al foil (33 mg/vial) either in 1, 2 or 6 pieces. The mineral deposits were dissolved in HCl and Ca(2+), PO(4)(3-) and Al(3+) content was measured. Hydroxyapatite was characterized by SEM and X energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). RESULTS The amount of Al(3+) was dose-dependently increased in Ca/P deposits on the polymer pellets. At high concentration (or with the 6 Al foils) growth of hydroxyapatite calcospherite was inhibited; only calcified plates emerging from the polymer were observed. Pellets incubated with 1 and 2 Al foils exhibited a reduction in calcospherite diameter and an increase in the Al(3+)/Ca(2+) ratio. EDX identified Al in the mineral deposits. CONCLUSIONS In this acellular model, Al(3+) altered the growth of calcospherites at low concentration and inhibited their development at high concentration. In SBF, a release of Al(3+) from aluminum foils also inhibited mineralization. This study emphasizes the importance of Al in bone pathology and stresses the question of its release from biomaterials.

Abstract
Bone is composed of two phases. The organic phase is made of collagen fibrils assembled in broad fibers acting as a template for mineralization. The mineral phase comprises hydroxyapatite (HAP) crystals grown between and inside the collagen fibers. We have developed a biomimetic material using functionalized carbon nanotubes as scaffold to initiate in vitro mineralization. Biomimetic formation of HAP was performed on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) which have been grafted with carboxylic groups. Two types of nanotubes, HiPco(R) and Carbon Solutions(R), were oxidized via various acidic processes, leading to five different groups of carboxylated nanotubes, fully characterized by physical methods (thermogravimetric analysis, attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy). All samples were dispersed in ultra-pure water and incubated for 2weeks in a synthetic body fluid, in order to induce the calcification of the SWCNTs. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis studies showed that Ca(2+) and PO(4)(3-) ions were deposited as round-shaped nodules (calcospherites) on the carboxylated SWCNTs. Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectroscopic studies confirmed the HAP formation, and image analysis made on SEM pictures showed that calcospherites and carboxylated SWCNTs were packed together. The size of calcospherites thus obtained in vitro from the HiPco(R) series was close to that issued from calcospherites observed in vivo. Functionalization of SWCNTs with carboxylic groups confers the capacity to induce calcification similar to woven bone.

Abstract
A biomimetic hyaluronic acid (HA)-based polymer scaffold was analysed in vitro for its characteristics and potential to support mineralization as carrier-vehicle. Biomimetic apatite crystal nucleation on the scaffold surface was obtained by a fine control of the pH level that increased ionic solubility thus controlling apatite formation kinetic. Different concentrations of human mesenchymal stromal cells (h-MSCs) were seeded on the scaffold, osteogenesis was induced in the presence or absence of fibroblast growth factor -2 and mineralization was analysed at different time points. We found that only at the highest h-MSCs concentration tested, the cells were uniformly distributed inside and outside the scaffold and proliferation started to decrease from day 7. Electron microscopy analysis evidenced that h-MSCs produced extracellular matrix but did not establish a direct contact with the scaffold. We found mineralized calcium-positive areas mainly present along the backbone of the scaffold starting from day 21 and increasing at day 35. FGF-2 treatment did not accelerate or increase mineralization. Non-biomimetic HA-based control scaffold showed immature mineralized areas only at day 35. Our data demonstrate that the biomimetic treatment of an HA-based scaffold promotes a faster mineralization process suggesting its possible use in clinics as a support for improving bone repair.

Abstract
Hemochromatosis is a known cause of osteoporosis in which the pathophysiology of bone loss is largely unknown and the role of iron remains questionable. We have investigated the effects of iron on the growth of hydroxyapatite crystals in vitro on carboxymethylated poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) pellets. This noncellular and enzyme-independent model mimics the calcification of woven bone (composed of calcospherites made of hydroxyapatite crystals). Polymer pellets were incubated with body fluid containing iron at increasing concentrations (20, 40, 60 micromol/L). Hydroxyapatite growth was studied by chemical analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and Raman microscopy. When incubated in body fluid containing iron, significant differences were observed with control pellets. Iron was detected at a concentration of 5.41- to 7.16-fold that of controls. In pellets incubated with iron, there was a approximately 3- to 4-fold decrease of Ca and P and a approximately 1.3- to 1.4-fold increase in the Ca/P ratio. There was no significant difference among the iron groups of pellets, but a trend to a decrease of Ca with the increase of iron concentration was noted. Calcospherite diameters were significantly lower on pellets incubated with iron. Raman microspectroscopy showed a decrease in crystallinity (measured by the full width of the half height of the 960 Deltacm(-1) band) with a significant increase in carbonate substitution (measured by the intensity ratio of 1071 to 960 Deltacm(-1) band). Energy dispersive x-ray analysis identified iron in the calcospherites. In vitro, iron is capable to inhibit bone crystal growth with significant changes in crystallinity and carbonate substitution.

Abstract
We developed a novel technique to improve tendon-bone attachment by hybridizing calcium phosphate (CaP) with tendons using an alternate soaking process. We characterized the deposited CaP on or in tendons and determined the healing process of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) grafts by implanting CaP-hybridized free tendons in bone tunnels intra-articularly. Tendons to be implanted were alternately soaked 10 times in a Ca-containing solution and a PO(4)-containing solution for 30 s each. Treated tendons had ash contents threefold that of untreated tendons. Low-crystallinity apatite was found on or in treated tendons. In animal experiments, the CaP-hybridized tendon exhibited osteoclasts at the tendon-bone interface at 5 days after operation. At 2 weeks after operation, there were more osteoclasts and osteoblasts around the tendon than at 5 days after operation. Directly bonded areas were partially found between the implanted tendon and newly formed bone. The formation of a cartilage layer was partially apparent at 3 weeks after operation. The newly formed bone was observed almost around the tendon. We conclude that CaP-hybridized tendons clearly enhance the healing process of ACL grafts at the tendon-bone interface and regenerate a direct insertion-like formation of tendons similar to a normal healthy ACL insertion within 3 weeks after operation.

Abstract
Phase purity is a well-recognized but not well-understood variable affecting the biological integration of hydroxyapatite (HA)-based biomaterials. Minor amounts of specific, relevant impurities--calcium oxide (CaO) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP)--may often be present either as deliberate additions or as a result of decomposition during sintering. We investigated the influence of these two impurities in terms of their effects on surface morphology, weight loss/gain, and microstructural-level degradation. Phase purity variations were deliberately introduced into an otherwise-standardized HA matrix--the parent HA grain size and bulk density were relatively constant--produced using identical fabrication conditions. Stability varied markedly during exposure to mildly acidic, neutral, and pH 7.4 phosphate-buffered saline. Equivalent molar variations in the Ca/P ratio (1.62 vs 1.72) on either side of the stoichiometric ratio produce relatively small volumetric amounts of CaO (1.6 vol%) versus TCP (27 vol%) in HA. However, the relatively small amounts of CaO render the bulk more susceptible to degradation and more likely to have negative effects on a biological milieu. Interestingly, the presence of CaO is also a potent nucleating agent for the precipitation of new surface phases and detectable weight gain. The TCP-containing ceramic, in contrast, paradoxically exhibited slightly greater resistance to degradation than HA.

Abstract
Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) has potentially wide biomedical applications: it is biocompatible, allows immobilization of cells or bioactive molecules and has a hardness comparable to bone. We previously reported that immobilization of alkaline phosphatase (AlkP) in pHEMA can initiate mineralization in a manner that mimics the calcification of cartilage and woven bone. Because numerous proteins known to initiate mineralization possess acidic species, we have modified the neutral electrical surface of pHEMA by carboxymethylation (CM). We have studied the effects of these negative groups on the calcification process in vitro. Calibrated pellets of pHEMA were prepared and carboxymethylated by soaking with 0.5 M bromoacetic acid in 2 M NaOH. Pellets of pHEMA, pHEMA-AlkP and pHEMA-CM were incubated during 5, 10 and 15 days in two types of body fluid: normal (1X) and 1.5X concentration of ions. Nodules of hydroxyapatite developed on pHEMA-AlkP and pHEMA-CM but not on pHEMA. Hydroxyapatite crystals were dissolved in HCl allowing calcium to be dosed. CM significantly increased the amount of deposited Ca by 1.8 folds in the 1X fluid and 15.8 folds in the 1.5X fluid. The presence of AlkP considerably increased the amount of deposited Ca: 25.9 folds in 1X and 23.3 in 1.5X. ROS 17/2.8 osteoblast-like cells were seeded on the materials and examined by confocal microscopy after phalloidin staining. Cells grown on pHEMA alone appeared round, while cells grown on the crystals deposited on the pHEMA-CM or pHEMA-AlkP were flattened. The presence of AlkP favours the mineralization process more than the existence of surface negative groups on the polymer. Cells preferentially adhere to the polymer when hydroxyapatite crystals were developed.

Abstract
When bone is lost due to injury and/or illness, the defects are generally filled with natural bone because artificial bone materials have problems of bioaffinity. However, natural bone also has supply and infection problems. If an artificial material has the same biological properties as bone, it can replace natural bone for grafting. We synthesized a hydroxyapaite (HAp) and collagen (Col) composite by a simultaneous titration coprecipitation method using Ca(OH)2, H3PO4 and porcine atelocollagen as starting materials. The composite obtained showed a self-organized nanostructure similar to bone assembled by the chemical interaction between HAp and Col. The consolidated composite by a cold isostatic pressure of 200 MPa indicated a quarter of the mechanical strength of bone. It also indicated the same biological properties as grafted bone: The material was resorbed by phagocytosis of osteoclast-like cells and conducted osteoblasts to form new bone in the surrounding area. This HAp/Col composite having similar nanostructure and composition can replace autologous bone grafts.

Abstract
We have immobilized the mineralizing agent alkaline phosphatase (AlkP) in a hydrophilic polymer: poly(2-hydroxy ethyl methacrylate) - (pHEMA) - in a copolymerization technique. Histochemical study on polymer sections revealed that AlkP has retained its enzymic activity. The image analysis of sections using a tessellation method showed a lognormal distribution of the area of the tiles surrounding AlkP particles, thus confirming a homogeneous distribution of the enzyme in the polymer. Pellets of pHEMA-AlkP were incubated with a synthetic body fluid containing organic phosphates (beta-glycerophosphate). Mineral deposits with a rounded shape (calcospherites) were obtained in about 17 days. We have investigated the effects of three bisphosphonic pharmacological compounds (etidronate, alendronate and tiludronate) on this system which mimics the mineralization process of cartilage and woven bone. Bisphosphonates at a concentration of 10(-2) M totally inhibited AlkP in solution at a concentration of 10(-4) mg/ml. Inhibition has been reported being due to the chelation of a metal cofactor (Zn2+). Etidronate and alendronate appeared to similarly inhibit the calcospherite deposition onto the pHEMA-AlkP material. Both bisphosphonates possess three sites for the mineral complexion by Ca chemisorbtion. On the other hand, tiludronate having only two sites, was associated with a reduced inhibitory effect on mineralization but larger crystals were obtained. The pHEMA-AlkP material contains an immobilized enzyme in a hydrogel and mimics the physiological conditions of matrix vesicles entrapped within the cartilage (or bone) matrix. It provides an interesting method to study the effects of pharmacological compounds on the mineralization process in bone and cartilage in a non cellular and protein-free model.

Abstract
This study investigated the concentration-dependent effect of vitronectin (VN), a glycoprotein of the bone matrix, on apatite formation and growth. Precipitation trials in metastable solution and in a pH-controlled solution system showed an inhibition of apatite microcrystal formation by VN. In the presence of biphasic calcium-phosphate ceramic, transmission electron microscopy showed a reduction of precipitated microcrystal size: precipitates were significantly smaller than in ionic simulated body fluid without proteins or in the presence of type I collagen as a negative control. Moreover, the size of the precipitated microcrystals was reduced in a dose-dependent manner. Two indirect methods showed that calcium-phosphate precipitation was inhibited by VN. It would appear that VN prevents apatite formation by inhibiting the growth of apatite crystals rather than by secondary nucleation, as in the case of osteopontin, a bone-specific protein.

Abstract
The stability of thermally processed hydroxyapatite coatings for oral and orthopedic bioprostheses has been questioned. Information on the chemical changes, which occur with hydroxyapatite biomaterials post-implantation in humans, is lacking. The purpose of this investigation was to begin to examine post-implantation surface changes of hydroxyapatite-coated implants using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray microanalysis (EDAX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and x-ray diffraction (XRD). Three retrieved dental implant specimens from humans following clinical failure due to peri-implantitis were examined. Unimplanted cylinders served as controls. Clinically, the retrieved specimens were all enveloped by a fibrous tissue capsule with bone present at the apical extent of the implant. SEM analysis showed that the retrieved surfaces were coated with both calcified and proteinaceous deposits. EDAX scans of the retrieved specimens demonstrated evidence of hydroxyapatite coating loss reflected by increasing titanium and aluminum signals. Other foreign ions such as sodium, chloride, sulfur, silica, and magnesium were detected. XRD of the control specimens showed that the samples were predominantly apatite; however, two peaks were detected in the diffraction pattern, which are not characteristic of hydroxyapatite, indicating that small amounts of one or more other crystalline phases were also present. The retrieved specimens showed slightly larger average crystal size relative to the control sample material, and the non-apatite lines were not present. FTIR evaluation of the retrieved specimens revealed the incorporation of carbonate and organic matrix on or into the hydroxyapatite. Narrowing of and increased detail in the phosphate peaks indicated an increase in average crystal size and/or perfection relative to the controls, as did the XRD results. Based on these results, we conclude that chemical changes may occur within the coating, with the incorporation of carbonate and concomitant reduction in hydroxyapatite coating thickness. Thermodynamic dissolution-reprecipitation of the coating itself and subsequent surface insult by bacterial and local inflammatory components may be involved with these changes.

Abstract
The dissolution-precipitation process for calcium-phosphate ceramics in contact with biological fluid was studied by incubating blocks of biphasic calcium phosphate composed of hydroxyapatite (HA) and beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) in different solutions: ionic simulated body fluid (SBF) without protein or SBF that contained various proteins and macromolecules separately (fibronectin, vitronectin, albumin, and poly-L-glutamic acid). Transmission electron microscopy studies revealed that apatite-precipitated microcrystals appeared around ceramic crystals as a result of secondary nucleation; microcrystals were in continuity with the lattice planes of the HA crystals but in a different direction from that of beta-TCP; the size of the precipitates was smaller when fibronectin, vitronectin, and poly-(L-glutamic acid) were present in SBF as compared to SBF without protein; and fibronectin and vitronectin initiated crystal nucleation in the void spaces between the ceramic crystals.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown different macrophage responses to three compact pellets (with slightly different chemical composition) of gel-derived bioactive glass-ceramics of the CaO-P2O5-SiO2 system. In the present study primary bone marrow cells directed in vitro to form osteoblastic or osteoclastic cells were cultivated on glass slides coated by these three glass-ceramics. Glass slides were used as controls. In osteoblastic cultures alkaline phosphatase activity varied, depending on the type of coatings. Northern analysis showed high mRNA expressions of bone-related proteins on both the glass-ceramics and control glass. Mineralized nodules were not formed on the control glass, but coating glass slides with the glass-ceramics promoted mineralization without any substantial differences between the types of coatings. In osteoclastic cultures, the normal morphology of tartrate resistant acid phosphatase-positive multinucleated cells on standard culture plates was altered on the control glass and the glass-ceramics. The number of these cells differed, depending on the type of coatings, with no particular differences in the arrangement of F-actin by these cells. These analyses demonstrate complete biocompatibility of the glass-ceramic coatings but not the control glass, on which the cells failed to form mineralized nodules. The phenotype expression of the cells appeared to be influenced by microstructure, surface roughness, and the general character of the coatings rather than their surface reactivity.

Abstract
We have investigated the applicability of a simple and inexpensive osteoclastic assay system using bone-like apatite-coated polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) disks. A 1 microm thick apatite layer, uniform and homogeneous bone-mineral-like with no organic components, was made on PET disks using a biomimetic process. As substrates for an osteoclastic assay, these coated disks were compared with dentine as well as with bone-like or heat-treated apatite of various thicknesses on apatite- and wollastonite-containing glass ceramic (A-W GC) disks. The unfractionated bone cells, including osteoclasts, of a neonatal rabbit were seeded onto these substrates. By scanning electron microscopic examination, the resorption lacunae of the thick bone-like apatite clearly showed track-like shapes at various depths, similar to those of dentine although the border between the A-W GC and the apatite was unclear. In contrast, those of heat-treated apatite showed small and shallow shapes with irregular margins, quite different from those of dentine. By reducing the thickness of bone-like apatite to 1 microm as well as using PET as its substrate, the margins of the resorption lacunae became quite clear, and with the use of phase-contrast microscopy during culture, osteoclasts and resorption pits could be precisely observed. The resorbed area, easily measured with the aid of bright-field microscopy and an image analyzer, was found to have increased in a time-dependent manner and at the end of 4 days of culture was not statistically different from that of dentine.

Abstract
A newly produced bioceramic, beta-Ca2P2O7 with addition of Na4P2O7.10H2O (SDCP), has been implanted into the femoral condyle of rabbits. Within 6 weeks after implantation, most of the bioceramic is replaced by new woven bone. On the contrary, block from hydroxyapatite (HA) and beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP), which are osteoconductible, do not resorb within a short period of time. We believe that the biodegradable behaviour of SDCP may occur in two steps. The first and most important step is the digestion of particles and migration of the particles by phagocytosis. The object of this study is to examine the change in morphologies, chemical compositions and crystal structure of SDCP after soaking in distilled water for a certain period of time. The SDCP ceramic was also co-cultured with leucocytes to observe how the SDCP particles were digested by the leucocytes, so that the mechanism of biodegradable behaviour of SDCP ceramic in vivo might be clarified. Four types of sintered calcium phosphate ceramics were tested in the experiment: SDCP, pure beta-Ca2P2O7 (DCP), HA and beta-TCP. They wee soaked in distilled water at 37 degrees C for up to 30 days. The microstructure and morphology of crystals deposited on the surface were observed using scanning electron microscopy. Sodium, calcium and phosphorus ion contents in the supernatant solution were detected by atomic absorption analysis and ion coupled plasma. In summary, HA and DCP showed no significant evidence of dissolution in distilled water. In static distilled water, calcium ions may be released from beta-TCP into solution during the initial 7 days and then converted into HA by reprecipitation. The results showed that the SDCP was firstly dissolved into small grains or fragments by the solution. The small fragments should be so small as to be digested by the phagocytes in a physiological environment.

Abstract
Mineralization and crystal deposition are natural phenomena widely distributed in biological systems from protozoa to mammals. In mammals, normal and pathological calcifications are observed in bones, teeth, and soft tissues or cartilage. We review studies on the adaptive apatite crystal formation in enamel compared with those in other calcified tissues (e.g., dentin, bone, and fish enameloids) and in pathological calcifications, demonstrating the adaptation of these crystals (in terms of crystallinity and orientation) to specific tissues that vary in functions or vary in normal or diseased conditions. The roles of minor elements, such as carbonate, magnesium, fluoride, hydrogen phosphate, pyrophosphate, and strontium ions, on the formation and transformation of biologically relevant calcium phosphates are summarized. Another adaptative process of crystals in biology concerns the recent development of calcium phosphate ceramics and other related biomaterials for bone graft. Bone graft materials are available as alternatives to autogeneous bone for repair, substitution, or augmentation. This paper discusses the adaptive crystal formation in mineralized tissues induced by calcium phosphate and related bone graft biomaterials during bone repair.

Abstract
Three types of calcium phosphate coating were formed on polyethersulphone (PES) rectangular plates using a biomimetic method: a 20 microns thick amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP 20) coating, a 50 microns thick amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP 50) coating, and a 50 microns thick highly crystalline hydroxyapatite (hHA 50) coating. Uncoated PES plates were used as a control group. These materials were implanted in the tibiae of rabbits and subcutaneously in rats, and the samples were harvested 8 and 16 weeks thereafter, and were examined histologically. The tensile failure loads at the bone-implant interfaces were determined using the detaching test. Each ACP coating was more degradable than the hHA 50 coating. However, newly formed bone came into direct contact with underlying materials as the coating degraded. No coating degraded in subcutaneous tissue. Soft tissue intervening was seen in uncoated samples. Failure load of ACP 20-, ACP 50- and hHA 50-coated samples were all relatively higher than that of the uncoated samples at each period. Significant increase of failure load was seen in hHA 50-coated samples by 16 weeks, however, no increase was seen in either the uncoated or ACP-coated samples. If coating longevity is desired, then the hHA coating is preferable. However, if only the osteoconducive property of calcium phosphate coating is desired for initial fixation of porous materials, the ACP coating may be advantageous.

Abstract
A 20-microns thick apatite layer was coated onto polyethersulfone (PES) rectangular plates by soaking them in simulated body fluid containing CaO-SiO2 based glass powder. Coated and uncoated PES plates (10 x 15 x 1.5 mm) were implanted in the tibiae of rabbits, which were sacrificed 8, 16, and 30 weeks thereafter, and the samples were examined histologically using contact microradiography (CMR), Giemsa surface staining, and a scanning electron microscope connected to an electron probe microanalyzer (SEM-EPMA). The tensile failure loads at the bone/implant interfaces were determined using the detaching test. The histological examinations showed excellent bone apposition on coated PES and the sign of degradation of the apatite layer at remodeling lacunae. The apatite layer underwent complete resorption and was replaced by bone in most areas of the bone/implant interface after 30 weeks. Bone did not bond directly to uncoated PES after each follow-up period. The failure loads between bone and coated PES at 8, 16, and 30 weeks after implantation were 1.7 +/- 0.35, 2.36 +/- 0.53, and 1.45 +/- 0.48 kg, respectively. Those between bone and uncoated PES were nearly 0 kg at each postimplantation period. Failure during the detaching test occurred at the bone/apatite interface or near it after 8 weeks. After 16 weeks, it usually occurred at the apatite/ PES interface or near it, and occasionally in the middle of the apatite layer. The apatite layer was hardly detected at the failured interface after 30 weeks. In this study, an apatite-coated PES produced using a biomimetic method was demonstrated to bond directly to bone without any intervening soft tissue, which indicates that this material possesses excellent bioactivity.
