Abstract
Zinc is a micronutrient of key importance for human health. An increasing number of studies indicate that zinc plays a significant role in bone tissue's normal development and maintaining homeostasis. Zinc is not only a component of bone tissue but is also involved in the synthesis of the collagen matrix, mineralization, and bone turnover. It has been demonstrated that zinc can stimulate runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) and promote the differentiation of osteoblasts. On the other hand, zinc has been found to inhibit osteoclast-like cell formation and to decrease bone resorption by stimulating osteoclasts' apoptosis. Moreover, zinc regulates the RANKL/RANK/OPG pathway, thereby facilitating bone remodeling. To date, not all mechanisms of Zn activity on bone tissue are well understood and documented. The review aimed to present the current state of research on the role of zinc in bone tissue, its beneficial properties, and its effects on bone regeneration. Since calcium phosphates as bone substitute materials are increasingly enriched in zinc ions, the paper included an overview of research on the potential role of such materials in bone filling and regeneration.

Abstract
This study intends to improve the antibacterial and mineralization performance of photocurable dental resin composites (DRCs) to reduce the possibility of repair failure caused by secondary caries. To the end, functionalized hydroxyapatite (HAp), including Zn-doped (Zn/HAp) and Sr-doped HAp (Sr/HAp), were added into the bisphenol A glycidyl methacrylate and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate mixture, providing the DRCs with antibacterial and mineralization capacity, respectively. By controlling the total amount of inorganic filler at 70 wt%, these HAp powders were introduced into the resin matrix with barium glass powder (BaGP), while the ratios of HAp to aGP varied from 0:70 to 8:62. And the 8 wt% of HAp could be pure HAp, Zn/HAp, Sr/HAp, or Zn/HAp +Sr/HAp in different ratios (i.e. 2:6, 4:4, 6:2). Though the fillers varied, the obtained DRCs displayed similar micro-morphology, flexural strength (∼110 MPa) and modulus (∼7 GPa), and Vickers hardness (∼65). When the doping amounts of Sr2+/Zn2+reached 15 mol% of Ca2+in the Sr/HAp and Zn/HAp, the DRCs displayed a high antibacterial activity by killing ∼95%Staphylococcus aureus, and induced rich mineral deposition on surface in simulated body fluid. The incorporation of the Zn/HAp and Sr/HAp into the DRCs did not cause significant cytotoxicity, with L929 fibroblasts remaining >99% viability as cultured in extracts made from the DRCs. Therein, the DRC preparations containing both Zn/HAp and Sr/HAp have achieved improvements in both the biomineralization and antibacterial performance, as well as, having sufficient mechanical properties and excellent biocompatibility for dental restoration.

Abstract
The current research aim is to biofunctionalize pure titanium (Ti, grade IV) substrate with titania nanotubes and Zn doped hydroxyapatite-based coatings by applying a duplex electrochemical treatment, and to evaluate the influence of Zn content on the physico-chemical properties of hydroxyapatite (HAp). The obtained nanostructured surfaces were covered with HAp-based coatings doped with Zn in different concentrations by electrochemical deposition in pulsed galvanostatic mode. The obtained surfaces were characterized in terms of morphology, elemental and phasic composition, chemical bonds, roughness, and adhesion. The nanostructured surface consisted of titania nanotubes (NT), aligned, vertically oriented, and hollow, with an inner diameter of ~70 nm. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the nanostructured surface consists of an anatase phase and some rutile peaks as a secondary phase. The morphology of all coatings consisted of ribbon like-crystals, and by increasing the Zn content the coating became denser due to the decrement of the crystals’ dimensions. The elemental and phase compositions evidenced that HAp was successfully doped with Zn through the pulsed galvanostatic method on the Ti nanostructured surfaces. Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and XRD analysis confirmed the presence of HAp in all coatings, while the adhesion test showed that the addition of a high quantity leads to some delamination. Based on the obtained results, it can be said that the addition of Zn enhances the properties of HAp, and through proper experimental design, the concentration of Zn can be modulated to achieve coatings with tunable features.

Abstract
This study reports a detailed analysis of the yttrium doping effects into hydroxyapatite (HAp) nano-structures at different amounts (e.g., 0, 1, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, and 15%) on the structural, spectroscopic, dielectric, and antimicrobial properties. For this purpose, seven HAp samples
having the Y-contents mentioned above were prepared using the microwave-assisted sol-gel precipitation technique. The structure of synthesized samples was fully described via X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR). Raman spectroscopy
and dielectric measurements were used to characterize the spectroscopic properties. Furthermore, the samples’ antimicrobial features have been assisted through the agar disk diffusion technique. This study showed that the crystallinity decreased with the adding of Y-ions inside the HAp
matrix. The Y-contents have influenced the crystallite size, lattice parameters, dislocation density, lattice strain, and unit cell volume. The surface morphology is composed of the agglomerated smaller particles. Remarkable changes in the dielectric properties were observed with the adding
of Y-ions. The alternating current conductivity obeys the Jonscher’s relation. Y-doped hydroxyapatite nanoparticles have a considerable inhibitory effect against bacteria and fungi (Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans).
The Y-doped hydroxyapatite nanoparticles are a promising material for bone cement engineering with a potential bio-activity

Abstract
Four types of zinc (Zn)-doped hydroxyapatite (Zn-HAp) nanoparticles were prepared using calcium nitrate tetrahydrate as an anti-sintering agent during calcination at 600°C for 1 hr, to prevent calcination-induced aggregation. The Zn content of the nanopowders was determined at 0, 4.3, 9.2, and 14.7% [Zn/(Ca + Zn) × 100] using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopic analysis. Based on X-ray diffraction analysis, the products were shown to possess an apatite structure without other crystalline impurities. The cell parameters of Zn-HAp nanoparticles decreased with increasing of Zn content in the HAp structures. This tendency implies that Zn ions substituted for Ca sites in the HAp crystal lattices. To investigate the biological effects of Zn-HAp nanoparticles, cell proliferation activity of MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts and antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli were evaluated in vitro. According to the results obtained, Zn-HAp nanoparticles containing of 14.7% Zn ions was noticeable shown shareability of the conflicting activities at 0.1 mg/mL.

Abstract
The beneficial effects of Sr- and Mg-doped hydroxyapatite (HAp) on osteoblast proliferation and bone regeneration have been investigated in the past, and the antibacterial ability of Zn ions is well known. However, HAp coatings doped with these three elements via thermal spraying have not yet been investigated. In this study, HAp powder was synthesized at different pH values (4, 6, 8, and 10) and calcined at different temperatures (200, 400, 600, 800, and 1000 °C) to obtain HAp with the highest purity. Subsequently, strontium-, magnesium-, and zinc-doped HAp powders were synthesized at the optimal pH value and calcination temperature. The HAp powder was then coated onto Ti disks using atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) or vapor-induced pore-forming atmospheric plasma spraying (VIPF-APS) techniques at different working currents (350, 400, and 450 A) and spraying distances (10 and 15 cm). X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy equipped with energy-dispersive spectroscopy were used for material characterization to determine the optimal parameters. With these optimal coating parameters, HAp, Zn-HAp, SrMg-HAp, and ZnSrMg-HAp powders were deposited onto the Ti disks using VIPF-APS and named HAp-Ti, Zn-HAp-Ti, SrMg-HAp-Ti, and ZnSrMg-HAp-Ti, respectively. The in vitro bioactivity of these four groups was evaluated using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide and alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) activity assay. Besides, the antibacterial activities against Prevotella nigrescens, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Fusobacterium nucleatum were assessed. The results showed that the purity of HAp synthesized at pH 10 and 800 °C was 98.40%. A porous coating without cracks was obtained at a 10 cm spraying distance and 400 A working current using VIPF-APS. SrMg-HAp-Ti and ZnSrMg-HAp-Ti resulted in higher osteoblast proliferation and ALPase activity than the control. Moreover, both Zn-HAp-Ti and ZnSrMg-HAp-Ti exhibited antibacterial activity against the three bacteria. Therefore, ZnSrMg-HAp has potential as a coating for biomedical materials due to its ability to reduce bacterial infection and enhance osseointegration.

Abstract
The bioactivity assay originally proposed by Kokubo is one of the most commonly used tests to indirectly evaluate the biocompatibility of bioactive glasses. However, extensive evidence has shown that trace elements present in biomaterials may stimulate cellular behavior in different ways even when no apatite formation is observed, i.e., in biomaterials with low or no bioactivity. To further elucidate this topic, we designed three different SiO2-rich bioglass compositions in which CaO was partially replaced by ZnO and MgO, two oxides known to affect bioactivity as well as osteoblastic behavior. The physicochemical changes induced by the presence of oxides and their effects on biological behavior, as well as the adhesion, proliferation and differentiation of human osteoblast-like osteosarcoma cells (MG-63), were followed by a bioactivity assay in simulated body fluid (SBF). The insertion of ZnO or MgO decreased the glass transition (Tg) and crystallization (Tc) temperatures as a function of the increase in nonbonding oxygens, which was directly reflected in the higher solubility. The release of Mg2+ ions from the MgO-containing samples inhibited the bioactivity in SBF, inducing high cell adhesion and proliferation and moderate ALP activity. The release of Zn2+ also inhibited the bioactivity in SBF but, in contrast to the release of Mg2+, induced low cell adhesion and proliferation and high ALP activity compared to the control.

Abstract
A series of germanium (Ge)-containing glasses were synthesized based on a starting glass composition of SiO2-ZnO-CaO-SrO-P2O5. Additions of GeO2 (6 and 12 mol%) were incorporated at the expense of SiO2, which retained the amorphous character, and each glass was processed to present similar particle size and surface area. Glass characterization using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS-NMR) determined that the addition of GeO2 increased the fraction of lower Q-speciation and subsequently the concentration of non-bridging oxygens (NBO). Glass Polyalkenoate Cements (GPC) were formulated from each glass with 40, 50 and 60 wt% PAA, and presented time dependent solubility profiles (1, 10, 100, 1000 h) for the release of Si4+ (4-140 mg/l), Ca2+ (1-8 mg/l), Zn2+ (<6 mg/l), Sr2+ (2-37 mg/l), PO43- (2-43 mg/l) and Ge4+ (20-911 mg/l) and attained pH values close to 7.5 after 1000 h. Ge-GPCs containing 40 wt% polyacrylic acid (PAA) presented appropriate working time (Tw) and setting times (Ts), and the corresponding compressive strengths ranged from (14-30 MPa). The Ge-GPCs (40, 50 wt%) presented a linear increase (R2-0.99) with respect to time. Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) testing resulted in the Ge-GPCs encouraging the precipitation of crystalline hydroxyapatite on the GPC surface, more evidently after 100 and 1000 h incubation.

Abstract
In order to investigate the influence of Zn on the hydration reaction of calcium phosphate cement (CPC), the incompletely hydrated CPC tablets were kept soaking in varying zinc-containing tris-(hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane/hydrochloric acid (Zn-Tris-HCl) buffers. It was found that Zn could retard the CPC hydration, the inhibitory effect was in direct proportional to the Zn content in the Zn-Tris-HCl buffer, and overhigh concentration of Zn (≧800 μM) caused the CPC hydration products having different phase composition and surface morphology. Cell culture experimental results revealed the CPC tablets which were soaked in the Zn-Tris-HCl buffer containing relative low Zn content (≦320 μM) favored the mouse bone mesenchymal stem cells (mBMSCs) spreading. When Zn-doped CPC tablets released 10.91 to 27.15 μM of zinc ions into the cell culture medium, it greatly contributed to the improvement of the proliferation ability and the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of the mBMSCs. In the same case, the expression of osteogenesis related genes such as collagen I and runt-related transcription factor 2 was remarkably up-regulated as well. However, the release of high concentration of Zn (128.58 μM) would significantly reduce the ALP activity of the mBMSCs. Therefore, Zn not only facilitates osteogenesis but also affects the CPC hydration behavior, and the CPC with suitable Zn dosage concentration has great potentials to be used for clinical bone repairing.

Stabilisation of amorphous calcium phosphate in polyethylene glycol hydrogels. Acta Biomater 2019; 90:132-145. [PMID: 30905863 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2019.03.044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2018] [Revised: 03/15/2019] [Accepted: 03/20/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Acellular polymer-calcium phosphate composites are promising bone graft materials. Hydrogels are suitable for providing a temporary matrix, while calcium phosphate minerals serve as ion depots for calcium and phosphate required for de novo bone formation. Crystalline calcium phosphates are stable under biological conditions and are commonly used in such scaffolds. However, the low solubility of these phases reduces the availability of free ions and potentially obstructs the remodelling necessary for the formation of mineralised tissue. Here, we investigate two different strategies to stabilise amorphous calcium phosphates in a synthetic polyethylene glycol-based hydrogel matrix. In vitro experiments mimicking an injectable application showed that amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) of variable stability was formed in the hydrogel matrices. In additive-free composites, ACP transformed into brushite within minutes. Citrate or zinc additives were found to stabilise the formed ACP phase to different degrees. In the presence of citrate, ACP was stable for at least 2 h before it transformed into hydroxyapatite within 3-20 days. Partial calcium substitution with zinc (Zn/Ca = 10%) produced zinc-doped ACP of high stability that did not show signs of crystallisation for at least 20 days. The presented methods and findings open new possibilities for the design of novel injectable synthetic bone graft materials. The possibility to produce ACP with tailorable stability promises great potential for creating temporary scaffolds with good osteogenic properties. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Synthetic hydrogel-calcium phosphate (CaP) composites are promising biomaterials to replace human- and animal-derived bone scaffolds. Most reported hydrogel-CaP composite materials employ crystalline CaP phases that lack the osteoinductive properties of autograft. Stabilising amorphous calcium phosphates (ACP) could overcome this limitation, readily delivering calcium and phosphate ions and facilitating remodelling into new bone tissue. The design of synthetic hydrogel-ACP scaffolds, however, requires more understanding of the mineralisation processes in such matrices. This study presents a model system to characterise the complex mineral formation and transformation processes within a hydrogel matrix. We demonstrate a facile route to produce self-mineralising injectable synthetic hydrogels and prove two different strategies to stabilise ACP for different periods within the formed composites.

Abstract
This study proves that the new developed zinc-doped hydroxyapatite (ZnHAp) colloids by an adapted sol-gel method can be widely used in the pharmaceutical, medical, and environmental industries. ZnHAp nanoparticles were stabilized in an aqueous solution, and their colloidal dispersions have been characterized by different techniques. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to get information on the morphology and composition of the investigated samples. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis confirmed the elemental compositions of ZnHAp colloidal dispersions. The homogeneous and uniform distribution of constituent elements (zinc, calcium, phosphorus, oxygen) was highlighted by the obtained elemental mapping results. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) results of the obtained samples showed a single phase corresponding to the hexagonal hydroxyapatite. The characteristic bands of the hydroxyapatite structure were also evidenced by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. For a stability assessment of the colloidal system, ζ-potential for the ZnHAp dispersions was estimated. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) was used to determine particles dispersion and hydrodynamic diameter (DHYD). The goal of this study was to provide for the first time information on the stability of ZnHAp particles in solutions evaluated by non-destructive ultrasound-based technique. In this work, the influence of the ZnHAp colloidal solutions stability on the development of bacteria, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), was also established for the first time. The antimicrobial activity of ZnHAp solutions was strongly influenced by both the stability of the solutions and the amount of Zn.

Abstract
The use of synthetic hydroxyapatites (HAps) in biomedical and environmental applications is well warranted given that they have been shown to behave as an excellent bio-compatible material in human teeth and bones. In this paper, a series of HAps doped and co-doped with two metal cations (zinc and magnesium) has been successfully synthesized by means of the precipitation method using CaCl2, Na2HPO4, ZnCl2 and MgCl2 aqueous solutions as reagents. The synthesized samples have been characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF). All samples prepared using over 10 mol% of Zn and Mg ions were identified as HAp. However, the presence of metal cations caused a significant increase in their crystallite sizes (30-50 nm) along with the appearance of a second phase (scholzite, whitlockite). The XRF spectra indicated the presence of Ca, P, Zn and Mg in the powders prepared with a high Metal/P ratio (1.7-2). The antimicrobial activity of these nanopowders has been tested in vitro against five bacteria (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa as Gram-negative; Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis as Gram-positive) and two fungal strains (Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger). The outcomes revealed that these nanopowders exhibited strong antimicrobial activity, starting at 15 mol% of Zn and/or Mg.

Abstract
Spongy Ni/Fe carbonate - fluorapatite was synthesized from natural phosphorite enriched with iron impurities. The morphological, chemical and structural features of the product were estimated using several techniques as XRD, SEM, EDX, and FT-IR. It exhibits spongy structure of nano and micro-pores. The average crystallite size is about 8.27 nm. The suitability of the product for considerable decontamination of Zn2+, Co2+, and Cu2+, ions from water was studied based on several reacting parameters. The equilibrium was attained after 240 min for Zn2+ and Co2+ ions while the adsorption equilibrium of Cu2+ reached after 120 min. The adsorption data for the selected metals was represented well by a pseudo-second-order model which revealed chemisorption uptake. The equilibrium studies were appraised based on traditional models and two advanced models were designed according to the statistical physical theories. The adsorption results highly fitted with Langmuir model followed rather than the other models. This indicated a monolayer adsorption for the metal ions by spongy Ni/Fe carbonate - fluorapatite. The estimated qmax values are 149.25 mg/g, 106.4 mg/g and 147.5 mg/g for the uptake of Zn2+, Co2+, and Cu2+, respectively. Based on monolayer models of one energy and two energies, the number of receptor adsorption sites, number of adsorbed metal ions per active site, the average number of sites which occupied by ions, mono layer adsorption quantity and the adsorption quantity after total saturation were calculated for the first time for such materials.

Abstract
This study presents, for the first-time, the results of a study on the hydrodynamic diameter of essential oils (EOs) of basil and lavender in water, and solutions of EOs of basil (B) and lavender (L) and hydroxyapatite (HAp). The possible influence of basil and lavender EOs on the size of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles was analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). We also investigated the in vitro antimicrobial activity of plant EOs and plant EOs hydroxyapatite respectively, against Gram-positive bacteria (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus1144 (MRSA 1144) and S. aureus 1426) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Escherichia coli ESBL 4493). From the autocorrelation function, obtained by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) measurements it was observed that basil yielded one peak at an average hydrodynamic diameter of 354.16 nm, while lavender yielded one peak at an average hydrodynamic diameter of 259.76 nm. In the case of HAp nanoparticles coated with basil (HApB) and lavender (HApL) essential oil, the aggregation was minimal. We found that the lavender EO exhibited a very good inhibitory growth activity (MIC values ranging from <0.1% for E. coli reference strain to 0.78% for S. aureus strains). The biological studies indicated that HapL material displayed an enhanced antimicrobial activity, indicating the potential use of HAp as vehicle for low concentrations of lavender EO with antibacterial properties. Flow cytometry analysis (FCM) allowed us to determine some of the potential mechanisms of the antimicrobial activities of EOs, suggesting that lavender EO was active against E. coli by interfering with membrane potential, the membrane depolarization effect being increased by incorporation of the EOs into the microporous structure of HAp. These findings could contribute to the development of new antimicrobial agents that are urgently needed for combating the antibiotic resistance phenomena.

Abstract
The present work was focused on the synthesis and characterization of hydroxyapatite doped with low concentrations of zinc (Zn:HAp) (0.01 < xZn < 0.05). The incorporation of low concentrations of Zn2+ ions in the hydroxyapatite (HAp) structure was achieved by co-precipitation method. The physico-chemical properties of the samples were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), zeta-potential, and DLS and N2-BET measurements. The results obtained by XRD and FTIR studies demonstrated that doping hydroxyapatite with low concentrations of zinc leads to the formation of a hexagonal structure with lattice parameters characteristic to hydroxyapatite. The XRD studies have also shown that the crystallite size and lattice parameters of the unit cell depend on the substitutions of Ca2+ with Zn2+ in the apatitic structure. Moreover, the FTIR analysis revealed that the water content increases with the increase of zinc concentration. Furthermore, the Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDAX) and XPS analyses showed that the elements Ca, P, O, and Zn were found in all the Zn:HAp samples suggesting that the synthesized materials were zinc doped hydroxyapatite, Ca10−xZnx(PO4)6(OH), with 0.01 ≤ xZn ≤ 0.05. Antimicrobial assays on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacterial strains and HepG2 cell viability assay were carried out.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to construct bone tissue engineering scaffold with high porosity, good mechanical properties, and biological activities. Bioactive glass/gelatin composite scaffolds with different amounts of tetrapod zinc oxide whiskers were produced. The morphology, mechanical properties and in vitro bioactivity of the composite scaffolds were investigated. Results showed that, the composite scaffolds had open pores with a high degree of interconnectivity, and the porosity was higher than 80%. With the amount of ZnO whiskers increased, the mechanical properties of scaffolds increased. However, the reinforcing effect began to decrease when the addition is higher than 2wt%, which was resulted by the aggregation of the ZnO whiskers. In vitro test showed that, the composite scaffolds processed good biodegradability, and in vitro apatite-forming ability. The release of zinc ions retarded the growth of the HCA, so the HCA deposited on the scaffolds with ZnO was amorphous and worm-like. Furthermore, the composite scaffolds had good biocompatibility assessed by in vitro cell tests using rMSCs. All results are promising for the application of the composite scaffolds in bone repair.

Mg(2+), Zn(2+) and Sr(2+) substitution for Ca(2+) in plasma sprayed calcium silicate (Ca-Si) coatings have been reported to impede their degradation in physiological environment and, more importantly, to improve their biological performance. The reason for the improved biological performance is still elusive and, especially, the contribution of the dopant ions is lack of obvious and direct evidence. In this study, we aim to identify the effect of Mg(2+), Zn(2+) and Sr(2+) incorporation on the osteogenic ability of Ca-Si based coatings (Ca2MgSi2O7, Ca2ZnSi2O7 and Sr-CaSiO3) by minimizing the influence of Ca and Si ions release and surface physical properties. Similar surface morphology, crystallinity and roughness were achieved for all samples by optimizing the spray parameters. As expected, Ca and Si ions release from all the coatings showed the comparable concentration with immersing time. The response of MC3T3-E1 cells onto Mg(2+), Zn(2+) and Sr(2+) doped Ca-Si coatings were studied in terms of osteoblastic adhesion, proliferation, differentiation and mineralization. The results showed that the level of cell adhesion and proliferation increased the most on the surface of Mg-modified coating. Gene expressions of early markers of osteoblast differentiation (COL-I and ALP mRNA) were obviously improved on Zn-modified coating. Gene expressions of later markers for osteoblast differentiation (OPN and OC mRNA) and mineralized nodules formation were obviously accelerated on the surface of Sr-modified coating. Since Mg(2+), Zn(2+) and Sr(2+) play a regulatory role in different stages of osteogenesis, it may be possible to utilize this in the development of new coating materials for orthopedic application.

Abstract
Metal doping of bioactive glasses based on ternary 60SiO2-36CaO-4P2O5 (58S) and quaternary 60SiO2-25CaO-11Na2O-4P2O5 (NaBG) mol% compositions synthesized using a sol-gel process was analyzed. In particular, the effect of incorporating 1, 5 and 10 mol% of CuO and ZnO (replacing equivalent quantities of CaO) on the texture, in vitro bioactivity, and cytocompatibility of these materials was evaluated. Our results showed that the addition of metal ions can modulate the textural property of the matrix and its crystal structure. Regarding the bioactivity, after soaking in simulated body fluid (SBF) undoped 58S and NaBG glasses developed an apatite surface layer that was reduced in the doped glasses depending on the type of metal and its concentration with Zn displaying the largest inhibitions. Both the ion release from samples and the ion adsorption from the medium depended on the type of matrix with 58S glasses showing the highest values. Pure NaBG glass was more cytocompatible to osteoblast-like cells (SaOS-2) than pure 58S glass as tested by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The incorporation of metal ions decreased the cytocompatibility of the glasses depending on their concentration and on the glass matrix doped. Our results show that by changing the glass composition and by adding Cu or Zn, bioactive materials with different textures, bioactivity and cytocompatibility can be synthesized.

Abstract
The use of hydraulic calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) as bone substitute is impaired by their relatively poor handling due to the need to mix a powder and a liquid during surgery. The aim of the present study was to assess the possibility to design CPCs as inorganic dual-paste cements, where both pastes would be stable for years, but would react as soon as they are mixed together. Results showed that aqueous pastes of α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) powder could be stabilized for up to a year at room temperature by the use of 0.1 M Mg chloride solution. Adding a calcium chloride solution in a 1:4 volume ratio activated α-TCP pastes provided the Ca/Mg ratio was larger than one. Mechanistic investigations suggest that Ca ions can displace Mg cations adsorbed at the surface of α-TCP particles to initiate α-TCP transformation to calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite and concomitant paste hardening. The compressive strength (29 MPa) was similar to that of commercial formulations (5-80 MPa). Other divalent cations (Ba, Ni, Sr) had a similar effect although with a different degree of efficacy.

Abstract
Single-phase nanocrystalline biocompatible Zn-dopedA-type carbonated hydroxyapatite (A-cHAp) powder has been synthesizedviamechanical alloying of a stoichiometric mixture of CaCO3, CaHPO4·2H2O and ZnO powders in open air at room temperature by 10 h of milling. TheA-type carbonation in HAp (A-cHAp) is confirmed by Fourier transform IR analysis. The structural and microstructural parameters of the as-milled powders are revealed by Rietveld powder structure refinement analysis and transmission electron microscopy. Zn substitution along with mechanical alloying causes partial amorphization of crystallineA-cHAp, analogous to native bone mineral. Zn2+cations substitute into the ninefold-coordinated Ca2+sites in theA-cHAp unit cell. An assay test using MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] reveals a high percentage of cell viability and hence confirms the biocompatibility of the sample. The overall results indicate that the processedA-cHAp has a chemical composition very close to that of natural biological apatite.

Abstract
The present study compared the concentrations of different elements (Ca, P, Mg, Sr, Ba, K, S, Zn, Mn) as well as Ca/P, Ca/Mg, Sr/Ca, and Ba/Ca ratios in hard antler and pedicle bone of yearling red deer stags (n = 11). Pedicles showed higher concentrations of calcium and phosphorus and a higher Ca/Mg ratio than antlers, while antlers exhibited higher concentrations of potassium, sulfur, and manganese as well as higher Ca/P, Sr/Ca, and Ba/Ca ratios. The findings indicate that antlers are less mineralized and show less maturation of their bone mineral than pedicles. Antlers also showed a higher intrasample variation of mineralization than pedicles, which can be related to the shorter life span of the (deciduous) antlers compared to the (permanent) pedicles. It is suggested that antler bone formation is stopped before the theoretically possible degree of mineralization and mineral maturation is reached, resulting in antler biomechanical properties (high bending strength and work to fracture) that are well suited for their role in intraspecific fighting. It is further suggested that the differences in Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca ratios of antlers and pedicles are related to the dietary shift from milk to vegetation in combination with an increasing intestinal discrimination against Sr and Ba with age, resulting in a less marked difference in these ratios than would be expected based on the dietary shift alone. The findings of our study underscore the suitability of antlers and pedicles as models of bone mineralization and the influence of different animal-related and/or external factors on this process.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to understand the influence of zinc on bone mineral metabolism in prednisolone-treated rats. Disturbance in bone mineral metabolism was induced in rats by subjecting them to prednisolone treatment for a period of 8 weeks. Female rats aged 6-8 weeks weighing 150 to 200 g were divided into four treatment groups, viz., normal control, prednisolone-treated (40 mg/kg body weight orally, thrice a week), zinc-treated (227 mg/L in drinking water, daily), and combined prednisolone + zinc-treated groups. Parameters such as changes in mineral levels in the bone and serum, bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC), and bone 99m-technetium-labeled methylene diphosphonate ((99m)Tc-MDP) uptake were studied in various treatment groups. Prednisolone treatment caused an appreciable decrease in calcium levels both in the bone and serum and also in bone dry weight, BMC, and BMD in rats. Prednisolone-treated rats when supplemented with zinc showed further reduction in calcium levels, bone dry weight, BMD, and BMC. The study therefore revealed that moderate intake of zinc as a nutritional supplement during steroid therapy could enhance calcium deficiency in the body and accelerate bone loss.

Abstract
Osteoporosis represents a major public health problem through its association with fragility fractures. The public health burden of osteoporotic fractures will rise in future generations, due in part to an increase in life expectancy. Strontium-based drugs have been shown to increase bone mass in postmenopausal osteoporosis patients and to reduce fracture risk but the molecular mechanisms of the action of these Sr-based drugs are not totally elucidated. The local environment of Sr(2+) cations in biological apatites present in pathological and physiological calcifications in patients without such Sr-based drugs has been assessed. In this investigation, X-ray absorption spectra have been collected for 17 pathological and physiological calcifications. These experimental data have been combined with a set of numerical simulations using the ab initio FEFF9 X-ray spectroscopy program which takes into account possible distortion and Ca/Sr substitution in the environment of the Sr(2+) cations. For selected samples, Fourier transforms of the EXAFS modulations have been performed. The complete set of experimental data collected on 17 samples indicates that there is no relationship between the nature of the calcification (physiological and pathological) and the adsorption mode of Sr(2+) cations (simple adsorption or insertion). Such structural considerations have medical implications. Pathological and physiological calcifications correspond to two very different preparation procedures but are associated with the same localization of Sr(2+) versus apatite crystals. Based on this study, it seems that for supplementation of Sr at low concentration, Sr(2+) cations will be localized into the apatite network.

Abstract
We aimed to examine the presence of Zn, a trace element, in osteoarthritis (OA) cartilage and meniscus from patients undergoing total knee joint replacement for primary OA. We mapped Ca(2+) and Zn(2+) at the mesoscopic scale by X-ray fluorescence microanalysis (μX-ray) to determine the spatial distribution of the 2 elements in cartilage, μX-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy to identify the Zn species, and μX-ray diffraction to determine the chemical nature of the calcification. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to determine the chemical composition of cartilage and meniscus. Ca(2+) showed a heterogeneous spatial distribution corresponding to the calcifications within cartilage (or meniscus) or at their surface. At least 2 Zn(2+) species were present: the first may correspond to Zn embedded in protein (different Zn metalloproteins are known to prevent calcification in biological tissues), and the second may be associated with a Zn trap in or at the surface of the calcification. Calcification present in OA cartilage may significantly modify the spatial distribution of Zn; part of the Zn may be trapped in the calcification and may alter the associated biological function of Zn metalloproteins.

Abstract
Ion Release and biocompatibility of a CaO-SrO-ZnO-SiO₂ (BT 101) based glass polyalkenoate cement (GPC) was compared against commercial GPCs, Fuji IX and Ketac Molar. The radiopacity (R) was similar for each material, 2.0-2.8. Ion release was evaluated on each material over 1, 7, 30 and 90 days. BT 101 release included Ca (23 mg/L), Sr (23 mg/L) Zn (13 mg/L), Si (203 mg/L). Fuji IX release includes Ca (0.7 mg/L), Al (3 mg/L) Si (26 mg/L), Na (60 mg/L) and P (0.5 mg/L) while Ketac Molar release includes Ca (1 mg/L), Al (0.6 mg/L) Si (23 mg/L), Na (76 mg/L) and P (0.7 mg/L). Simulated body fluid trials revealed CaP surface precipitation on BT 101. No evidence of precipitation was found on Fuji IX or Ketac Molar. Cytotoxicity testing found similar cell viability values for each material (~60 %, P = 1.000). Antibacterial testing determined a reduced CFU count with BT 101 (2.5 × 10³) when compared to the control bacteria (2.4 × 10⁴), Fuji IX (1.5 × 10⁴) and Ketac Molar (1.2 × 10⁴).

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a synthetic biomaterial and has been found to promote new bone formation when implanted in a bone defect site. However, its use is often limited due to its slow osteointegration rate and low antibacterial activity, particularly where HA has to be used for long term biomedical applications. This work will describe the synthesis and detailed characterization of zinc-substituted HA (ZnHA) as an alternative biomaterial to HA. ZnHA containing 1.6 wt% Zn was synthesized via a co-precipitation reaction between calcium hydroxide, orthophosphoric acid and zinc nitrate hexahydrate. Single-phase ZnHA particles with a rod-like morphology measuring ~50 nm in length and ~15 nm in width, were obtained and characterized using transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The substitution of Zn into HA resulted in a decrease in both the a- and c-axes of the unit cell parameters, thereby causing the HA crystal structure to alter. In vitro cell culture work showed that ZnHA possessed enhanced bioactivity since an increase in the growth of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells along with the bone cell differentiation markers, were observed. In addition, antibacterial work demonstrated that ZnHA exhibited antimicrobial capability since there was a significant decrease in the number of viable Staphylococcus aureus bacteria after in contact with ZnHA.

Abstract
Rietveld analysis of X-ray powder diffraction patterns recorded from 28 hydroxyapatite (HAp) samples containing various amounts of zinc (0, 1.6, 3.2 and 6.1wt.% Zn) and heat treated at various temperatures (between 500°C and 1100°C) has enabled the Zn insertion mechanism into the HAp crystal structure to be finely characterized. The formation of Zn-doped HAp was achieved above 900°C only. Zn-doped HAp has the Ca(10)Zn(x)(PO(4))(6)(OH)(2-2)(x)O(2)(x) (0<x⩽0.25) chemical composition with a constant Ca/P ratio of 1.67 due to the insertion mechanism into the hexagonal channel (partial occupancy of the 2b Wyckoff site with the formation of linear O-Zn-O entities). Samples heat treated at 500°C were almost single phase, HAp did not incorporate Zn and about half of the Zn atoms incorporated during the synthesis are not observable by X-ray powder diffraction (contained in an amorphous compound or physisorbed at the HAp surface). The reversible formation of Zn-doped β-TCP phase was observed at 600°C, reached its maximum content at 900°C and had almost vanished at 1100°C. The results presented here strengthen the recently described mechanism of Zn insertion in the interstitial 2b Wyckoff position of the HAp structure, and explain the origin of the contradictory reports in the corresponding literature.

Abstract
Powders of magnesium-modified as well as zinc-modified calcium phosphates (Me-β-TCP and HA) with a (Ca(2+)+Mg(2+)+Zn(2+)+Na(+)+K(+))/P ratio of 1.3-1.4 and various Me(2+)/(Me(2+)+Ca(2+)) ratios (from 0.005 to 0.16) were prepared in biomimetic electrolyte systems at pH 8, mother liquid maturation and further syntering at 600-1000°C. Some differences in zinc and magnesium modifications have been prognosed on the basis of thermodynamic modeling of the studied systems and explained by the Mg(2+) and Zn(2+) ion chemical behaviour. The temperature as well as the degree of Zn(2+) and Mg(2+) ions substitutions were found to stabilize the β-TCP structure and this effect was more prononced for zinc. Thus, zinc-modified β-TCP powders consisting of idiomorphic crystals were obtained through sintering of Zn(2+) ion substituted calcium phosphates precursors at 800-1000°C. The Mg(2+) ion substitution leads to obtaining magnesium-modified β-TCP with spherical grains.

Abstract
The field of bioinorganics is well established in the development of a variety of therapies. However, their application to bone regeneration, specifically by way of localized delivery from functional implants, is in its infancy and is the topic of this review. The toxicity of inorganics is species, dose and duration specific. Little is known about how inorganic ions are effective therapeutically since their use is often the result of serendipity, observations from nutritional deficiency or excess and genetic disorders. Many researchers point to early work demonstrating a role for their element of interest as a micronutrient critical to or able to alter bone growth, often during skeletal development, as a basis for localized delivery. While one can appreciate how a deficiency can cause disruption of healing, it is difficult to explain how a locally delivered excess in a preclinical model or patient, which is presumably of normal nutritional status, can evoke more bone or faster healing. The review illustrates that inorganics can positively affect bone healing but various factors make literature comparisons difficult. Bioinorganics have the potential to have just as big an impact on bone regeneration as recombinant proteins without some of the safety concerns and high costs.

Abstract
In order to improve the osteoblast growth and bacteria resistance, Zn-containing hydroxyapatite (Zn-HA) and titanium oxide (TiO2) composite coatings were prepared to improve binding between coating and Ti substrate. TiO2 film was prepared on the surface of Ti by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) and Zn-HA coating was deposited on TiO2 using sol–gel technique. Phase structure, composition and microstructure of the surface coatings were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS), respectively. The adhesion strength between the coatings with different Zn content was measured by tensile testing. The results showed that there was no significant influence of Zn content on adhesion strength between coating and Ti substrate.

Abstract
A factorial design was employed to evaluate the quantitative removal of zinc from aqueous solutions on synthesized hydroxyapatite. The experimental factors and their respective levels studied were the initial zinc concentration in solution (35≤C(Zn)≤85 mg/L), adsorbent dosage (4.5≤C(susp)≤9.5 g/L), Ca/P molar ratio (1.667≤Ca/P≤2) and calcination temperature of hydroxyapatite (600≤T(Cal)≤800 °C). The adsorption parameters were analysed statistically by means of variance analysis by using the STATISTICA software. The experimental results and statistical analysis show that increasing in the calcination temperature from 600 to 800 °C decrease the zinc adsorption whereas the increase of adsorbent dosage increases it. Based on the analysis of variance and the factorial design of experiments, adsorbent dosage has a positive effect on the removal of zinc, whereas zinc concentration, Ca/P molar ratio and calcination temperature have a negative effect on this process. The factorial results also demonstrate the existence of statistically significant binary interactions of the experimental factors. The experimental results were fitted to the Langmuir and Freundlich equations to find out adsorption capacities. In most cases, the results indicate that the sorption data fits well in the Freundlich isotherm model. The results of XRD analysis, pH(PZC) and pH(Final) values indicated that ion exchange and dissolution/precipitation mechanisms predominate for the sorption of zinc on our hydroxyapatite.
