Abstract
In this study, the regulatory role and mechanisms of tantalum (Ta) particles in the bone tissue microenvironment are explored. Ta particle deposition occurs in both clinical samples and animal tissues following porous Ta implantation. Unlike titanium (Ti) particles promoting M1 macrophage (Mϕ) polarization, Ta particles regulating calcium signaling pathways and promoting M2 Mϕ polarization. Ta-induced M2 Mϕ enhances bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) proliferation, migration, and osteogenic differentiation through exosomes (Exo) by upregulating miR-378a-3p/miR-221-5p and downregulating miR-155-5p/miR-212-5p. Ta particles suppress the pro-inflammatory and bone resorption effects of Ti particles in vivo and in vitro. In a rat femoral condyle bone defect model, artificial bone loaded with Ta particles promotes endogenous Mϕ polarization toward M2 differentiation at the defect site, accelerating bone repair. In conclusion, Ta particles modulate Mϕ polarization toward M2 and influence BMSCs osteogenic capacity through Exo secreted by M2 Mϕ, providing insights for potential bone repair applications.

Abstract
The powder metallurgy method was used to manufacture three Ti-based alloys: Ti-15%Zr-2%Ta-4%Sn (Ti-Zr-Ta-4Sn), Ti-15%Zr-2%Ta-6%Sn (Ti-Zr-Ta-6Sn), and Ti-15%Zr-2%Ta-8%Sn (Ti-Zr-Ta-8Sn). Electrochemical measurements and surface analyses were used to determine the effect of Sn concentration on the corrosion of these alloys after exposure to a simulated body fluid (SBF) solution for 1 h and 72 h. It was found that the passivation of the alloy surface significantly increased when the Sn content increased from 4% to 6% and then to 8%, which led to a significant reduction in corrosion. The impedance spectra derived from the Nyquist graphs also explained how the addition of Sn significantly improved the alloys' polarization resistances. According to the change in the chronoamperometric current at an applied anodic potential over time, the increase in Sn content within the alloy significantly reduced the currents over time, indicating that the uniform and pitting corrosion were greatly decreased. The formation of an oxide layer (TiO2), which was demonstrated by the surface morphology of the alloys after exposure to SBF solution for 72 h and corrosion at 400 mV (Ag/AgCl) for 60 min, was supported by the profile analysis obtained by an X-ray spectroscopy analyzer. It was clear from all of the findings that the tested alloys have a remarkable improvement in resistance to corrosivity when the Sn content was increased to 8%.

Abstract
Implant-associated infection is the main reasons for implant failure. Titanium and titanium alloy are currently the most widely used implant materials. However, they have limited antibacterial performance. Therefore, enhancing the antibacterial ability of implants by surface modification technology has become a trend of research. Tantalum is a potential implant coating material with good biological properties. With the development of surface modification technology, tantalum coating becomes more functional through improvement. In addition to improving osseointegration, its antibacterial performance has also become the focus of attention. In this review, we provide an overview of the latest strategies to improve tantalum antibacterial properties. We demonstrate the potential of the clinical application of tantalum in reducing implant infections by stressing its advantageous properties.

Abstract
Ti-15%Zr alloy and Ti-15%Zr-2%Ta alloy were fabricated to be used in biomedical applications. The corrosion of these two alloys after being immersed in simulated body fluid for 1 h and 72 h was investigated. Different electrochemical methods, including polarization, impedance, and chronoamperometric current with time at 400 mV were employed. Also, the surface morphology and the compositions of its formed film were reported by the use of scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive X-ray. Based on the collected results, the presence of 2%Ta in the Ti-Zr alloy passivated its corrosion by minimizing its corrosion rate. The polarization curves revealed that adding Ta within the alloy increases the corrosion resistance as was confirmed by the impedance spectroscopy and current time data. The change of current versus time proved that the addition of Ta reduces the absolute current even at high anodic potential, 400 mV. The results of both electrochemical and spectroscopic methods indicated that pitting corrosion does not occur for both Ti-Zr and Ti-Zr-Ta alloys, even after their immersion in SBF solutions for 72 h.

Abstract
The bonding strength of the bone-titanium (Ti) implant interface is critical for patients undergoing joint replacement. However, current bone adhesives used in clinic have shortcomings, such as biological inertness, cytotoxicity, and lack of osteogenic ability. In this study, a simple and low-cost hydrogel-based bone adhesive was prepared to improve the osseointegration ability and anti-infection ability of the bone-implant interface. A multifunctional hydrogel was prepared by incorporating nano-hydroxyapatite (HA) on polyethyleneimine (PEI) and polyacrylic acid (PAA) (PEI/PAA-HA). It was shown that PEI/PAA-HA hydrogel exhibited good self-healing and strong adhesive ability. The adhesive strengths of bone-Ti and Ti-Ti were measured as 2.30 ± 0.15 MPa and 1.07 ± 0.07 MPa, respectively. Vancomycin (VAN) was loaded into the PEI/PAA-HA hydrogel (PEI/PAA-HA-VAN) via a simple immersion method. The PEI/PAA-HA-VAN showed excellent antibacterial effect by sustained release of VAN. In addition, the PEI/PAA-HA-VAN hydrogel exhibited excellent cytocompatibility promoting the expression of osteogenic genes and the deposition of mineralized matrix. Collectively, this strong adhesive hydrogel showed great potential in enhancing bone-implant interface fixation.

Abstract
Pure Ti and 85%Ti-15%Zr alloy were sintered in a heat induction high frequency furnace. The corrosion behaviour of Ti and 85%Ti-15%Zr in simulated body fluid (SBF) was studied. The work was achieved using different techniques as the cyclic polarization (PCP), the impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and the change of the potentiostatic current with time (PCT) experiments. The morphology of the surfaces of Ti and Ti-Zr after being corroded in SBF for 72 were investigated by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the analysis for the layer formed on that surface was collected via energy dispersive X-ray (EDX). Results depicted that the 15% Zr present within Ti decreases the corrosion via increasing Ti corrosion resistance and minimizing its measured corrosion rate. PCP data proved that the addition of Zr reduced all anodic, cathodic and corrosion currents. EIS results confirmed that Zr has a positive impact on the reduction of corrosion resistance. PCT, SEM, and EDX examinations displayed that both Ti and Ti-Zr alloy don’t show pitting corrosion even after 72 h exposure to SBF.

Abstract
Tantalum (Ta) is an element with high chemical stability and ductility that is used in orthopedic biomaterials. When utilized, it can produce a bioactive surface and enhance cell-material interactions, but currently, there exist scarce effective methods to introduce the Ta element onto the surface of implants. This work reported a sol-gel-assisted approach combined with micro-arc oxidation (MAO) to introduce Ta onto the surface of the titanium (TC4) substrate. Specifically, this technique produced a substrate with a hierarchically rough structured topography and introduced strontium ions into the film. The films were uniform and continuous with numerous crater-like micropores. Compared with the TC4 sample (196 ± 35 nm), the roughness of Ta (734 ± 51 nm) and Ta-Sr (728 ± 85 nm) films was significantly higher, and both films (Ta and Ta-Sr) showed increased hydrophilicity when compared with TC4, promoting cell attachment. Additionally, the in vitro experiments indicated that Ta and Ta-Sr films have the potential to enhance the recruitment of cells in the initial culture stages, and improve cell proliferation. Overall, this work demonstrated that the application of Ta and Ta-Sr films to orthopedic implants has the potential to increase the lifetime of the implants. Furthermore, this study also describes an innovative strategy to incorporate Ta into implant films.
