Abstract
Although stem cell therapy is a major area of interest in tissue engineering, providing proper oxygen tension, good viability, and cell differentiation remain challenges in tissue-engineered scaffolds. In this study, an osteogenic scaffold was fabricated using the 3D bio-printing technique. The bio-ink contained alginate hydrogel, encapsulated human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs), calcium peroxide nanoparticles (CPO NPs) as an oxygen generating biomaterial, and bone morphogenic protein-2 nanoparticles (BMP2 NPs) as an osteoinductive growth factor. CPO NPs were synthesized with the hydrolysis-precipitation method, and their concentrations in the bio-ink were optimized. Scaffolds containing CPO 3% (w/w) were preferred, because they generated sufficient oxygen gas for 20 days, increased mechanical strength after 20 days, and had sufficient stability. The CPO NPs effect on the viability of embedded hBM-MSCs under hypoxic conditions was analyzed. Live/Dead staining results represented a 22% improvement in CPO 3% scaffold viability on day 7. Therefore, CPO NPs constituted a promising survival factor. BMP2 NPs were prepared with the double emulsification technique. The incorporation of both BMP2 and CPO NPs resulted in the upregulation of Runt-related transcription factor 2, Collagen type I alpha 1, and the osteocalcin genes compared to internal references in osteogenic media. Overall, the proposed 3D bio-printed osteogenic scaffold in this study has moved scientific research one step forward toward successful stem cell therapy and helped improve host tissue healing by biological activity enhancement, especially for low oxygen pressure tissues.

Abstract
Although drug-eluting stents (DESs) are mainly coated with biodegradable polymers such as PLGA and PLLA, their acidic degradation products can alter the local microenvironment and affect the homeostasis of adjacent tissue. Previously, we developed anti-inflammatory PLGA-based materials including magnesium hydroxide (MH) to relieve the side effects caused by PLGA degradation. However, the underlying molecular mechanism of its protective effects has not yet been clarified. Here, we demonstrated the pathological mechanism of vascular endothelial activation caused by PLGA by-products. The PLGA by-products accumulated in HCAECs through MCT1, followed by oxidative stress and the activation of the MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway. Finally, the PLGA by-products increased the expression of VCAM-1 as well as the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines. However, the addition of MH particles significantly diminished the activation of this molecular pathway and the expression of inflammation-related factors induced by acidic PLGA degradation products. Furthermore, Mg2+ released from MH particles restored endothelial function in both intracellular and extracellular spaces. Taken together, MH particles prevent the accumulation of PLGA degradation products in HCAECs, thereby repressing the associated vascular endothelial activation. These findings on the biochemical mechanisms are expected to provide important clues for addressing the safety issues in nearly all biodegradable polymer-based implants.

Abstract
This study compared the topography of different titanium surface structures (TiO2 nanotube and grain) with similar elemental compositions (TiO2 and fluorine [F]) on the Ti surface. High magnification indicated that the surfaces of the control and etching groups were similar to each other in a flat, smooth form. The group anodized for 1 h was observed with TiO2 nanotubes organized very neatly and regularly. In the group anodized for 30 min after etching, uneven wave and nanopore structures were observed. In addition, MTT assay showed that the F of the surface did not adversely affect cell viability, and the initial cell adhesion was increased in the 2.8% F‐incorporated TiO2 nanograin. At the edge of adherent cells, filopodia were observed in spreading form on the surfaces of the anodizing and two‐step processing groups, and they were observed in a branch shape in the control and etching groups. Moreover, cell adhesion molecule and osteogenesis marker expression was increased at the F‐incorporated TiO2 nanostructure. In addition, it was found that the expression of p‐extracellular signal‐regulated kinase (ERK) and p‐cAMP response element‐binding protein (CREB) increased in the TiO2 nanograin with the nanopore surface compared to the micro rough and nanotube surfaces relative to the osteogenic‐related gene expression patterns. As a result, this study confirmed that the topographic structure of the surface is more affected by osteogenic differentiation than the pore size and that differentiation by specific surface composition components is by CREB. Thus, the synergy effect of osteogenic differentiation was confirmed by the simultaneous activation of CREB/ERK.

Magnesium hydroxide-incorporated PLGA composite attenuates inflammation and promotes BMP2-induced bone formation in spinal fusion. J Tissue Eng 2020; 11:2041731420967591. [PMID: 33178410 PMCID: PMC7592173 DOI: 10.1177/2041731420967591] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2020] [Accepted: 09/30/2020] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Spinal fusion has become a common surgical technique to join two or more vertebrae to stabilize a damaged spine; however, the rate of pseudarthrosis (failure of fusion) is still high. To minimize pseudarthrosis, bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP2) has been approved for use in humans. In this study, we developed a poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) composite incorporated with magnesium hydroxide (MH) nanoparticles for the delivery of BMP2. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of released BMP2 from BMP2-immobilized PLGA/MH composite scaffold in an in vitro test and an in vivo mice spinal fusion model. The PLGA/MH composite films were fabricated via solvent casting technique. The surface of the PLGA/MH composite scaffold was modified with polydopamine (PDA) to effectively immobilize BMP2 on the PLGA/MH composite scaffold. Analyzes of the scaffold revealed that using PLGA/MH-PDA improved hydrophilicity, degradation performance, neutralization effects, and increased BMP2 loading efficiency. In addition, releasing BMP2 from the PLGA/MH scaffold significantly promoted the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. Furthermore, the pH neutralization effect significantly increased in MC3T3-E1 cells cultured on the BMP2-immobilized PLGA/MH scaffold. In our animal study, the PLGA/MH scaffold as a BMP2 carrier attenuates inflammatory responses and promotes BMP2-induced bone formation in posterolateral spinal fusion model. These results collectively demonstrate that the BMP2-immobilized PLGA/MH scaffold offers great potential in effectively inducing bone formation in spinal fusion surgery.

Abstract
Background Despite the development of progressive surgical techniques and antibiotics, osteomyelitis is a big challenge for orthopedic surgeons. The main aim of this study is to fabricate an in situ gelling hydrogel that permits sustained release of antibiotic (for control of infection) and growth factor (for induction of new bone formation) for effective treatment of osteomyelitis. Methods An in situ gelling alginate (ALG)/hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel containing vancomycin (antibiotic) and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2; growth factor) was prepared by simple mixing of ALG/HA/Na2HPO4 solution and CaSO4/vancomycin/BMP-2 solution. The release behaviors of vancomycin and BMP-2, anti-bacterial effect (in vitro); and therapeutic efficiency for osteomyelitis and bone regeneration (in vivo, osteomyelitis rat model) of the vancomycin and BMP-2-incorporated ALG/HA hydrogel were investigated. Results The gelation time of the ALG/HA hydrogel was controlled into approximately 4 min, which is sufficient time for handling and injection into osteomyelitis lesion. Both vancomycin and BMP-2 were continuously released from the hydrogel for 6 weeks. From the in vitro studies, the ALG/HA hydrogel showed an effective anti-bacterial activity without significant cytotoxicity for 6 weeks. From an in vivo animal study using Sprague-Dawley rats with osteomyelitis in femur as a model animal, it was demonstrated that the ALG/HA hydrogel was effective for suppressing bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) proliferation at the osteomyelitis lesion and enhancing bone regeneration without additional bone grafts. Conclusions From the results, we suggest that the in situ gelling ALG/HA hydrogel containing vancomycin and BMP-2 can be a feasible therapeutic tool to treat osteomyelitis.

Abstract
Background Silica particles (SPs) induce cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. We reported that SPs in the scaffold induced early stage osteogenic differentiation. Methods A polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffold was fabricated with a 10 wt% SPs. The surface of PCL scaffold was coated with a 10 µg/mL collagen solution. Next, the scaffold was conjugated with 2 μM SPs, 2 μg/mL bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), or 2 μM BMP2-conjugated SPs (BCSPs). Green fluorescent protein-coupled BMP2 was applied to fabricate the scaffold. The fluorescence intensity was analyzed by confocal microscopy. The mRNA levels of the early osteogenic differentiation marker, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), were analyzed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Levels of BMP2, RUNX2, ERK1/2, and AKT were assessed by western blotting. Results ALP mRNA levels were significantly higher in the BCSP-conjugated scaffold than in the other scaffolds. In the early stage of osteogenic differentiation, the protein levels of BMP2, RUNX2, ERK1/2, and AKT in cells were significantly higher in the BCSP-conjugated scaffold than in other scaffolds. Thus, the BCSP composite scaffold induced rapid osteogenic differentiation. Conclusion These results suggest that BCSP composite can be used to promote early stage osteogenic differentiation and show promise as a material for use in scaffolds for bone regeneration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As the lip contains ample blood supply, hemangiomas often occur in this area. When surgical excision is performed, wound closure is important. To prevent infection from saliva and food, watertight wound closure is needed. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the usefulness of Dermabond for wound closure after hemangioma excision on the lip. METHODS Between December 2015 and August 2017, 11 patients with lip hemangioma underwent surgical excision. When closing the wound, Dermabond was used for skin closure after subcutaneous sutures. Demographic data and complications were recorded. Scars were evaluated with the Vancouver scar scale (VSS), and the postoperative shape of the lip was assessed on a 10-point satisfaction scale at 1 month and 6 months postoperatively. RESULTS All cases completely healed without any complications, such as wound dehiscence or infection. There were no recurrences at postoperative 1 month during the follow-up period. The aesthetic results of the scars were also excellent. The average VSS score on postoperative 1 month was 4.2, and it decreased to 2.2 at postoperative 6 months. The average patient satisfaction score at postoperative 1 month was 7.4, and it increased to 9.5 at postoperative 6 months. CONCLUSION Dermabond is useful for wound closure after hemangioma excision on the lip. It prevents wound contamination, and yields acceptable aesthetic results.
