Abstract
The bone immune microenvironment can influence the occurrence and progression of bone defects. To date, research on promoting macrophage M2 polarization to improve bone injury repair has been insufficient. In this study, we designed an injectable poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) porous microsphere that forms calcium phosphate crystals on its surface by binding to melatonin, followed by bionanomimetic mineralization in vitro. The microsphere is injectable and degradable, and its release of melatonin (MT) and calcium phosphate (CaP) crystals promotes macrophage M2 polarization, reprogramming of macrophages, and enhanced osteogenesis. After LPS stimulation, the proportion of M2-polarized macrophages in the MS@CaP@MT group was 39.2 ± 2.7%, significantly higher than that in other groups (P < 0.05). Further, in the MS@CaP@MT group, rats exhibited bone mineral densities of 129.4 ± 12.8 mg cc-1 at 2 weeks and 171.6 ± 13.6 mg cc-1 at 4 weeks in the defect area, which were significantly higher than those in other groups (P < 0.05). Using an animal model of femoral condylar defects, we demonstrated that MT PLLA porous microspheres loaded with calcium phosphate crystals can improve the immune microenvironment and form a microsphere-centered osteogenesis model. This significantly accelerates bone defect repair and provides a potential strategy for bone defect treatment.

Abstract
The plasma technique has been widely used to modify the surfaces of materials. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the probability of controlling the prednisolone delivery velocity on a polylactic acid (PLA) surface modified by plasma surface treatment. Surface modification of PLA was performed at a low-pressure radio frequency under conditions of 100 W power, 50 mTorr chamber pressure, 100-200 sccm of flow rate, and Ar, O2, and CH4gases. The plasma surface-modified PLA was characterized using scanning emission microscope, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and contact angle measurements.In vitroevaluations were performed to determine cellular response, drug release behavior, and anti-inflammatory effects. The PLA surface morphology was changed to a porous structure (with a depth of approximately 100 μm) and the surface roughness was also significantly increased. The XPS results demonstrated higher oxygenized carbon contents than those in the non-treated PLA group. The prednisolone holding capacity increased and the release was relatively prolonged in the surface-modified PLA group compared to that in the non-treated PLA group. In addition, cell migration and proliferation significantly increased after PLA treatment alone. The activity of cytokines such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-α), interleukin (IL-1β), and IL-6 were considerably reduced in the plasma-treated and prednisolone holding group. Taken together, surface-modified PLA by plasma can provide an alternative approach to conventional physicochemical approaches for sustained anti-inflammatory drug release.

Abstract
As the focus of implantable biomaterials has shifted from bioinert implants to bioactive designs, recent research has highlighted the complex interactions between cell physiologic systems and material properties, particularly physical cues. From the cells known to interact with implanted biomaterials, the response of the immune system has been a critical target of study recently. Here, we review studies characterizing the response of innate immune cells to various material cues, particularly of those at the surface of implanted materials.The innate immune system consists of cell types with various roles in inflammation. Neutrophils and macrophages serve both phagocytic and signaling roles, especially early in the inflammatory phase of biomaterial implantation. These cell types ultimately dictate the outcome of implants as chronic inflammation, fibrosis, or integration. Other cell types like dendritic cells, mast cells, natural killer cells, and innate lymphoid cells may also serve an immunomodulatory role in the biomaterial context. This review highlights recent advances in our understanding of the role of innate immunity in the response to implantable biomaterials as well as key mechanobiological findings in innate immune cells underpinning these advances. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This review highlights recent advances in the understanding of the role of innate immunity in the response to implantable biomaterials, especially in neutrophils and macrophages, as well as key mechanobiological findings in innate immune cells underpinning these advances. Here we discuss how physicochemical properties of biomaterials control innate immune cell behavior.

Abstract
Current surgical reconstruction of facial defects including nose or ear involves harvesting patient's own autologous tissue, causing donor site morbidity and is limited by tissue availability. The use of alternative synthetic materials is also limited due to complications related to poor tissue integration and angiogenesis, which lead to extrusion of implants and infection. We intend to meet this clinical challenge by using a novel nanocomposite called polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane poly(carbonate-urea)urethane (POSS-PCU), which has already been successfully taken to the clinical bench-side as a replacement for trachea, tear duct and vascular by-pass graft. In this study, we aimed to enhance tissue integration and angiogenesis of POSS-PCU using an established surface treatment technique, plasma surface polymerisation (PSP), functionalising the surface using NH2 and COOH chemical groups. Physical characterisation of scaffolds was achieved by using a number of techniques, including water contact angle, SEM, AFM and XPS to study the effects of PSM modification on the POSS-PCU nanocomposite in detail, which has not been previously documented. Wettability evaluation confirmed that scaffolds become hydrophilic and AFM analysis confirmed that nano topographical alterations resulted as a consequence of PSP treatment. Chemical functionalisation was confirmed using XPS, which suggested the presence of NH2 and COOH functional groups on the scaffolds. The modified scaffolds were then tested both in vitro and in vivo to investigate the potential of PSP modified POSS-PCU scaffolds on tissue integration and angiogenesis. In vitro analysis confirmed that PSM modification resulted in higher cellular growth, proliferation and ECM production as assessed by biochemical assays and immunofluorescence. Subcutaneous implantation of modified POSS-PCU scaffolds was then carried out over 12-weeks, resulting in enhanced tissue integration and angiogenesis (p < 0.05). This study demonstrates a simple and cost effective surface modification method to overcome the current challenge of implant extrusion and infection caused by poor integration and angiogenesis.

Abstract
Purpose Drug-eluting stents (DES) based on permanent polymeric coating matrices have been introduced to overcome the in stent restenosis associated with bare metal stents (BMS). A further step was the development of DES with biodegradable polymeric coatings to address the risk of thrombosis associated with first-generation DES. In this study we evaluate the biocompatibility of biodegradable polymer materials for their potential use as coating matrices for DES or as materials for fully bioabsorbable vascular stents. Materials and Methods Five different polymers, poly(L-lactide) PLLA, poly(D,L-lactide) PDLLA, poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) P(LLA-co-GA), poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) P(DLLA-co-GA) and poly(L-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone), P(LLA-co-CL) were examined in vitro without and with surface modification. The surface modification of polymers was performed by means of wet-chemical (NaOH and ethylenediamine (EDA)) and plasma-chemical (O2 and NH3) processes. The biocompatibility studies were performed on three different cell types: immortalized mouse fibroblasts (cell line L929), human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). The biocompatibility was examined quantitatively using in vitro cytotoxicity assay. Cells were investigated immunocytochemically for expression of specific markers, and morphology was visualized using confocal laser scanning (CLSM) and scanning electron (SEM) microscopy. Additionally, polymer surfaces were examined for their thrombogenicity using an established hemocompatibility test. Results Both endothelial cell types exhibited poor viability and adhesion on all five unmodified polymer surfaces. The biocompatibility of the polymers could be influenced positively by surface modifications. In particular, a reproducible effect was observed for NH3-plasma treatment, which enhanced the cell viability, adhesion and morphology on all five polymeric surfaces. Conclusion Surface modification of polymers can provide a useful approach to enhance their biocompatibility. For clinical application, attempts should be made to stabilize the plasma modification and use it for coupling of biomolecules to accelerate the re-endothelialization of stent surfaces in vivo.
