Abstract
The surface engineering of biomaterials is crucial for their successful (bio)integration by the body, i.e. the colonization by the tissue-specific cell, and the prevention of fibrosis and/or bacterial colonization. Performed at room temperature in an aqueous medium, the layer-by-layer (LbL) coating method is based on the alternating deposition of macromolecules. Versatile and simple, this method allows the functionalization of surfaces with proteins, which play a crucial role in several biological mechanisms. Possessing intrinsic properties (cell adhesion, antibacterial, degradable, etc.), protein-based LbL films represent a powerful tool to control bacterial and mammalian cell fate. In this article, after a general introduction to the LbL technique, we will focus on protein-based LbL films addressing different biomedical issues/domains, such as bacterial infection, blood contacting surfaces, mammalian cell adhesion, drug and gene delivery, and bone and neural tissue engineering. We do not consider biosensing applications or electrochemical aspects using specific proteins such as enzymes.

Abstract
Tendon and ligament injuries, prevalent requiring surgical intervention, significantly impact joint stability and function. Owing to excellent mechanical properties and biochemical stability, Nondegradable synthetic materials, including polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), have demonstrated significant potential in the treatment of tendon and ligament injuries. These above materials offer substantial mechanical support, joint mobility, and tissue healing promotion of the shoulder, knee, and ankle joint. This review conclude the latest development and application of nondegradable materials such as artificial patches and ligaments in tendon and ligament injuries including rotator cuff tears (RCTs), anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, and Achilles tendon ruptures.

Abstract
Graft-host integration after the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction sequentially follows the prognosis from the inflammation period to the regeneration period. However, due to insufficient bioactivity, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) artificial ligaments often require a long period for graft-host integration. To improve graft-host integration, sequential therapy targeting multifactor is widely advocated. In this study, a multilayer regenerated silk fibroin (RSF) coating loaded with heparin and bone morphogenetic protein binding peptide (BBP) for differentiated release was introduced on the surface of the PET artificial ligament by a stepwise deposition method. The drug release profiles of heparin and BBP on the coated PET artificial ligament indicated the features of differential drug release, i.e., with heparin in the outermost layer releasing a significant amount (more than 60%) during the first 5 days while BBP in the inner layer only releasing a small amount (ca. 30%) within 1 week without burst release. Based on the isometric ACL reconstruction model of rabbits, such drug-loaded RSF coating was verified to be able to modulate the early inflammatory response and promote the maturation of the graft in the articular cavity, meanwhile, it provided a continuous and stable signal of osteogenic induction to improve graft-bone integration. Thus, sequential intervention with heparin and BBP proved to be a reliable combination, and multifunctional RSF-coated PET artificial ligaments hold great potential for improving the clinical efficacy of ACL reconstruction.

Abstract
Tendon injuries are common debilitating musculoskeletal diseases with high treatment expenditure in sports medicine. The development of tendon-biomimetic scaffolds may be promising for improving the unsatisfactory clinical outcomes of traditional therapies. In this study, we combined an advanced electrospun nanofiber yarn-generating technique with a traditional textile manufacturing strategy to fabricate innovative nano-micro fibrous woven scaffolds with tendon-like anisotropic structure and high-strength mechanical properties for the treatment of large-size tendon injury. Electrospun nanofiber yarns made from pure poly L-lactic acid (PLLA) or silk fibroin (SF)/PLLA blend were fabricated, and their mechanical properties matched and even exceeded those of commercial PLLA microfiber yarns. The PLLA or SF/PLLA nanofiber yarns were then employed as weft yarns interlaced with commercial PLLA microfiber yarns as warp yarns to generate two new types of nanofibrous scaffolds (nmPLLA and nmSF/PLLA) with a plain-weaving structure. Woven scaffolds made from pure PLLA microfiber yarns (both weft and warp directions) (mmPLLA) were used as controls.In vitroexperiments showed that the nmSF/PLLA woven scaffold with aligned fibrous topography significantly promoted cell adhesion, elongation, proliferation, and phenotypic maintenance of tenocytes compared with mmPLLA and nmPLLA woven scaffolds. Moreover, the nmSF/PLLA woven scaffold exhibited the strongest immunoregulatory functions and effectively modulated macrophages towards the M2 phenotype.In vivoexperiments revealed that the nmSF/PLLA woven scaffold notably facilitated Achilles tendon regeneration with improved structure by macroscopic, histological, and ultrastructural observations six months after surgery, compared with the other two groups. More importantly, the regenerated tissue in the nmSF/PLLA group had excellent biomechanical properties comparable to those of the native tendon. Overall, our study provides an innovative biological-free strategy with ready-to-use features, which presents great potential for clinical translation for damaged tendon repair.

Abstract
In this study, a ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) braided structure was surface modified with low temperature plasma and was coated with cationized gelatin and hyaluronic acid to improve its biocompatibility for the reconstruction of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The ligament was studied for its various mechanical properties. Surface modifications were studied through FESEM. Biological compatibility of the ligament was assessed in accordance to ISO 10993 standard. Tensile strength of the UHMWPE reconstructed ligament ranges between 2628 and 5937 N; maximum tensile strength was attained in 1600 denier 2/2 pattern of triple braided structure along with higher strain at failure of 36.1%. In 1600 denier 2/2 pattern of triple braid structure, the linear stiffness was found to be high at 375 N/mm. Among the developed materials, four braided structures namely as 800 denier 2/2 pattern of double braids and triple braids, 1600 denier 1/1 pattern of double braid and 2/2 pattern of triple braid were found to be mechanically suitable. Specifically, the 1600 denier 2/2 pattern of triple braid having higher mechanical properties was selected for coating. The results of in-vitro cytotoxicity and genotoxicity confirmed the extract of ACL to non-toxic and non-mutant. Furthermore, in-vivo analysis of the extract and the coated ACL graft proved the ligament to be non-irritant, non-sensitizer and also found to promote new tissue formation around the graft. Based on the results, the CG and HA coated ACL graft were concluded to be biocompatible and having considerable potential as an alternate for autograft/allograft.

Abstract
Natural polymers are of great interest in the biomedical field due to their intrinsic properties such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity. Layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of natural polymers is a versatile, simple, efficient, reproducible, and flexible bottom-up technique for the development of nanostructured materials in a controlled manner. The multiple morphological and structural advantages of LbL compared to traditional coating methods (i.e., precise control over the thickness and compositions at the nanoscale, simplicity, versatility, suitability, and flexibility to coat surfaces with irregular shapes and sizes), make LbL one of the most useful techniques for building up advanced multilayer polymer structures for application in several fields, e.g., biomedicine, energy, and optics. This review article collects the main advances concerning multilayer assembly of natural polymers employing the most used LbL techniques (i.e., dipping, spray, and spin coating) leading to multilayer polymer structures and the influence of several variables (i.e., pH, molar mass, and method of preparation) in this LbL assembly process. Finally, the employment of these multilayer biopolymer films as platforms for tissue engineering, drug delivery, and thermal therapies will be discussed.

A triple-coated ligament graft to facilitate ligament-bone healing by inhibiting fibrogenesis and promoting osteogenesis. Acta Biomater 2020; 115:160-175. [PMID: 32791348 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2020.07.054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2020] [Revised: 07/26/2020] [Accepted: 07/30/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Absence of ligament-bone healing due to poor bioactivity and hyperplasia of fibrous tissue caused by immune response severely impairs ligament grafts' functional duration in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. While osteogenic modification is a popular technique for promoting ligament-bone integration, inadequate osseointegration remains a common experience, due to occupying fibrous hyperplasia and impaired osteogenesis potential. In the present study, a triple-nano-coating polyethylene terephthalate (PET) graft was developed by polydopamine self-assembly, chondroitin sulfate (CS) chemical-grafting and BMP-2 physical-immobilization to facilitate robust ligament-bone healing, The CS/polydopamine-modified PET (C-pPET) graft was demonstrated to inhibit fibrogenesis by regulating polarization of macrophages and promoting the secretion of anti-inflammatory factors. Moreover, the immunoregulatory function of CS cooperated with BMP-2 to facilitate osteogenic differentiation of stem cells, promoting the expression of ALP, Runx2, OCN and COL I. Bone regeneration was significantly enhanced at early-middle stage in the BMP-loaded pPET (B/pPET) group, while occurring at middle-late stage in the C-pPET group. Continuous new bone formation and optimal ligament-bone healing were observed in the B/C-pPET group via sequential and synergistic immune osteogenesis by CS and cytokine osteogenesis by BMP-2. Thus, the present study revealed a practical avenue for the promotion of ligament-bone healing through the development of a triple-nano-coating engineered ligament combining immunoregulatory anti-fibrogenesis and sequential-synergistic osteogenesis, which holds a great potential for improving the clinical efficacy of ligament graft in ACL reconstruction. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: A triple-nano-coating polyethylene terephthalate (PET) graft was developed by polydopamine self-assembly, chondroitin sulfate (CS) chemical-grafting and BMP-2 physical-immobilization to facilitate robust ligament-bone healing. This study demonstrated that the multifunctional ligament grafts could reshape the local immune microenvironment by regulating macrophage phenotype and immune cytokine secretion to inhibit the fibrous hyperplasia and regulate stem cell towards osteogenic differentiation to promote bone regeneration. The present study demonstrates that efficient ligament-bone healing is achieved via the combination of immunoregulatory anti-fibrogenesis and dual osteogenesis of immunoregulation and cytokine induction.

Abstract
The coating formation technique for artificial knee ligaments was proposed, which provided tight fixation of ligaments of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers as a result of the healing of the bone channel in the short-term period after implantation. The coating is a frame structure of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) in a collagen matrix, which is formed by layer-by-layer solidification of an aqueous dispersion of SWCNT with collagen during spin coating and controlled irradiation with IR radiation. Quantum mechanical method SCC DFTB, with a self-consistent charge, was used. It is based on the density functional theory and the tight-binding approximation. The method established the optimal temperature and time for the formation of the equilibrium configurations of the SWCNT/collagen type II complexes to ensure maximum binding energies between the nanotube and the collagen. The highest binding energies were observed in complexes with SWCNT nanometer diameter in comparison with subnanometer SWCNT. The coating had a porous structure-pore size was 0.5-6 μm. The process of reducing the mass and volume of the coating with the initial biodegradation of collagen after contact with blood plasma was demonstrated. This is proved by exceeding the intensity of the SWCNT peaks G and D after contact with the blood serum in the Raman spectrum and by decreasing the intensity of the main collagen bands in the SWCNT/collagen complex frame coating. The number of pores and their size increased to 20 μm. The modification of the PET tape with the SWCNT/collagen coating allowed to increase its hydrophilicity by 1.7 times compared to the original PET fibers and by 1.3 times compared to the collagen coating. A reduced hemolysis level of the PET tape coated with SWCNT/collagen was achieved. The SWCNT/collagen coating provided 2.2 times less hemolysis than an uncoated PET implant. MicroCT showed the effective formation of new bone and dense connective tissue around the implant. A decrease in channel diameter from 2.5 to 1.7 mm was detected at three and, especially, six months after implantation of a PET tape with SWCNT/collagen coating. MicroCT allowed us to identify areas for histological sections, which demonstrated the favorable interaction of the PET tape with the surrounding tissues. In the case of using the PET tape coated with SWCNT/collagen, more active growth of connective tissue with mature collagen fibers in the area of implantation was observed than in the case of only collagen coating. The stimulating effect of SWCNT/collagen on the formation of bone trabeculae around and inside the PET tape was evident in three and six months after implantation. Thus, a PET tape with SWCNT/collagen coating has osteoconductivity as well as a high level of hydrophilicity and hemocompatibility.

Abstract
Blood-contacting surfaces of cardiovascular devices are not biocompatible for creating an endothelial layer on them. Numerous research studies have mainly sought to modify these surfaces through physical, chemical and biological means to ease early endothelial cell (EC) adhesion, migration and proliferation, and eventually to build an endothelial layer on the surfaces. The first priority for surface modification is inhibition of protein adsorption that leads to inhibition of platelet adhesion to the device surfaces, which may favor EC adhesion. Surface modification through surface texturing, if applicable, can bring some hopeful outcomes in this regard. Surface modifications through chemical and/or biological means may play a significant role in easy endothelialization of cardiovascular devices and inhibit smooth muscle cell proliferation. Cellular engineering of cells relevant to endothelialization can boost the positive outcomes obtained through surface engineering. This review briefly summarizes recent developments and research in early endothelialization of cardiovascular devices. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Endothelialization of cardiovascular implants, including heart valves, vascular stents and vascular grafts is crucial to solve many problems in our health care system. Numerous research efforts have been made to improve endothelialization on the surfaces of cardiovascular implants, mainly through surface modifications in three ways - physically, chemically and biologically. This review is intended to highlight comprehensive research studies to date on surface modifications aiming for early endothelialization on the blood-contacting surfaces of cardiovascular implants. It also discusses future perspectives to help guide endothelialization strategies and inspire further innovations.

Abstract
With the growing number of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures and the increased interest for regenerative medicine procedures, many studies are now concentrated on developing bioactive and biodegradable synthetic ligaments. For this application, the choice of raw materials with appropriate physicochemical characteristics and long-term degradation features is essential. Polycaprolactone (PCL) has the advantage of slow degradation that depends on its molecular weight. This study evaluates two PCL materials: a technical grade (PC60: 60 kDa) versus a medical grade (PC12: 80 kDa), both before and after functionalization with poly(sodium styrene sulfonate) (pNaSS). After determining the grafting process had little to no effect on the PCL physicochemical properties, sheep ACL fibroblast responses were investigated. The PC12 films induced a significantly lower expression of the tumor necrosis factor alpha inflammatory gene compared to the PC60 films. Both film types induced an overproduction of fibroblast growth factor-2 and transforming growth factor beta compared to the controls on day 5 and demonstrated collagen gene expression profiles similar to the controls on day 7. Upon protein adsorption, pNaSS grafting caused a rapid cell adhesion in the first 30 min and an increased adhesion strength (1.5-fold higher). Moreover, after 7 days, an increase in cell density and actin network development were noted on the grafted films.

PLoS One 2018; 13:e0205722. [PMID: 30308052 PMCID: PMC6181421 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0205722] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2018] [Accepted: 10/01/2018] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The anterior cruciate ligament rupture is one of the most common sport injuries. Due to ligaments’ poor healing capacity, surgical intervention is often required. Nowadays, these injuries are managed using replacement autografts or to a lesser extent using artificial ligaments. With the expansion of tissue engineering, more recent researches focus on the development of biodegradable structures that could allow graft functioning while enhancing host integration. The main challenge is to develop a structure that gradually loses its mechanical properties when at the same time the neo-ligament gains in solidity. Mechanical behavior and reconstruction of natural tissue are the two key points for such a successful device. This article evaluates the mechanical consistency of poly(ε-caprolactone) fibers bundles grafted with sodium polystyrene sulfonate, as a candidate for ligament prosthesis. In order to be medically used, PCL fibers need to cope with multiple steps before implantation including extensive washings, knitting, grafting and sterilization processes. The evolution of mechanical properties at each step of the elaboration process has been investigated. The results show that PCL bundles have the same visco-elastic behavior than the native ACL. Nevertheless, when undergoing physical treatments such as ionizing radiations, like UV or β-rays, the material endures a hardening, increasing its stiffness but also its fragility. At this opposite, the thermal radical grafting acts like an annealing step, increasing significantly the elasticity of the PCL fibers. With this chemical treatment, the stiffness is decreasing, leading to higher energy dissipation. Added to the observation of the structure of the material, this demonstrates the possibility of the PCL to modulate it microstructure. In case of orthopedic prosthesis, the need of such a construct is strongly required to avoid distension of the future prosthesis and to restore good knee stabilization, showing the promising future of PCL ligament prosthesis.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was designed to evaluate the biocompatibility and osseointegration of polyethylene terephthalate ligament after coating with hydroxyapatite (PET/HA) by using the plasma spraying technique in vitro and in vivo. METHODS In this study, PET/HA sheets were prepared by using the plasma spraying technique. The characterization, the viability of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs), and the mRNA expression of bone formation-related genes were evaluated in vitro. The osseointegration in vivo was investigated in the rabbit anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction model by micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) analysis, histological evaluation, and biomechanical tests. RESULTS Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results showed that the surface of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) becomes rough after spraying with hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles, and the water contact angle was 75.4°±10.4° in the PET/HA-plasma group compared to 105.3°±10.9° in the control group (p<0.05). The cell counting kit-8 counting results showed that the number of BMSCs significantly increased in the PET/HA-plasma group (p<0.05). Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results showed that there was an upregulated mRNA expression of bone formation-related genes in the PET/HA-plasma group (p<0.05). Micro-CT results showed that the transactional area of tibial tunnels and femoral tunnels was smaller in the PET/HA-plasma group (p<0.05). The histological evaluation scores of the PET/HA-plasma group were significantly superior to those of the PET control group at 8 and 12 weeks (p<0.05). The biomechanical tests showed an increased maximum load to failure and stiffness in the PET/HA-plasma group compared to those in the control group at 8 and 12 weeks. CONCLUSION Both in vitro and in vivo results demonstrated in this study suggest that the biocompatibility and osseointegration of PET/HA ligament were significantly improved by increasing the proliferation of cells and upregulating the expression of bone formation-related genes. In a word, the PET/HA-plasma ligament is a promising candidate for ACL reconstruction in future.

Abstract
The first two authors contributed equally to this study. Bioactivity and cell adhesion properties are major factors for fabricating medical devices such as coronary stents. The aim of this study was to evaluate the advantages of atmospheric-pressure plasma jet in enhancing the biocompatibility and endothelial cell-favorites. The experimental objects were divided into before and after atmospheric-pressure plasma jet treatment with the ratio of nitrogen:argon = 3:1, which is similar to air. The treated surfaces were basically characterized by means of a contact angle analyzer for the activation property on their surfaces. The effect of atmospheric-pressure plasma jet on cellular response was examined by endothelial cell adhesion and XTT analysis. It was difficult to detect any changeable morphology after atmospheric-pressure plasma jet treatment on the surface. The roughness was increased after atmospheric-pressure plasma jet treatment compared to nonatmospheric-pressure plasma jet treatment (86.781 and 7.964 nm, respectively). The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results showed that the surface concentration of the C–O groups increased slightly from 6% to 8% after plasma activation. The contact angle dramatically decreased in the atmospheric-pressure plasma jet treated group (22.6 ± 15.26°) compared to the nonatmospheric-pressure plasma jet treated group (72.4 ± 15.26°) ( n = 10, p < 0.05). The effect of the increment in hydrophilicity due to the atmospheric-pressure plasma jet on endothelial cell migration and proliferation was 85.2% ± 12.01% and 34.2% ± 2.68%, respectively, at 7 days, compared to the nonatmospheric-pressure plasma jet treated group (58.2% ± 11.44% in migration, n = 10, p < 0.05). Taken together, the stent surface could easily obtain a hydrophilic property by the atmospheric-pressure plasma jet method. Moreover, the atmospheric-pressure plasma jet might affect re-endothelialization after stenting.

Abstract
To solve the poor healing of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) artificial ligament in bone tunnel, copper-containing bioactive glass (Cu-BG) nanocoatings on PET artificial ligaments were successfully prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). It was hypothesized that Cu-BG coated PET (Cu-BG/PET) grafts could enhance the in vitro osteogenic and angiogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) and in vivo graft-bone healing after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in a goat model. Scanning electron microscope and EDS mapping analysis revealed that the prepared nanocoatings had uniform element distribution (Cu, Ca, Si and P) and nanostructure. The surface hydrophilicity of PET grafts was significantly improved after depositing Cu-BG nanocoatings. The in vitro study displayed that the Cu-BG/PET grafts supported the attachment and proliferation of rBMSCs, and significantly promoted the expression of HIF-1α gene, which up-regulated the osteogenesis-related genes (S100A10, BMP2, OCN) and angiogenesis-related genes (VEGF) in comparison with PET or BG coated PET (BG/PET) grafts which do not contain Cu element. Meanwhile, Cu-BG/PET grafts promoted the bone regeneration at the graft-host bone interface and decreased graft-bone interface width, thus enhancing the bonding strength as well as angiogenesis (as indicated by CD31 expression) in the goat model as compared with BG/PET and pure PET grafts. The study demonstrates that the Cu-containing biomaterials significantly promote osteogenesis and angiogenesis in the repair of bone defects of large animals and thus offering a promising method for ACL reconstruction by using Cu-containing nanobioglass modified PET grafts. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE It remains a significant challenge to develop an artificial graft with distinct osteogenetic/angiogenetic activity to enhance graft-bone healing for ligament reconstruction. To solve these problems, copper-containing bioactive glass (Cu-BG) nanocoatings on PET artificial ligaments were successfully prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). It was found that the prepared Cu-BG/PET grafts significantly stimulated the proliferation and osteogenic/angiogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) through activating HIF-1α/S100A10/Ca2+ signal pathway. The most important is that the in vivo bone-forming ability of Cu-containing biomaterials was, for the first time, elucidated in a large animal model, revealing the enhanced capacity of osteogenesis and angiogenesis with incorporation of bioactive Cu element. It is suggested that the copper-containing biomaterials significantly promote osteogenesis and angiogenesis in large animal defects and thus offering a promising method for ACL reconstruction by using Cu-containing nanobioglass modification of PET grafts, paving the way to apply Cu-containing biomaterials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Controlling the adhesion of mammalian and bacterial cells at the interfaces between synthetic materials and biological environments is a real challenge in the biomedical fields such as tissue engineering, antibacterial coating, implantable biomaterials and biosensors. The surface properties of materials are known to profoundly influence the adhesion processes. To mediate the adhesion processes, polymeric coatings have been used to functionalize surfaces to introduce diverse physicochemical properties. The polyelectrolyte multilayer films built via the layer-by-layer (LbL) method, introduced by Moehwald, Decher, and Lvov 20years ago, has led to significant developments ranging from the fundamental understanding of cellular processes to controlling cell adhesion for biomedical applications. In this review, we focus our attention on the modification of surface physicochemical properties, using the LbL approach, to construct films which can either promote or inhibit mammalian/bacterial cell adhesion. We also discuss the emerging field of multifunctional surfaces capable of responding to specific cellular activity but being inert to the others.

Abstract
In the past two decades, the design and manufacture of nanostructured materials has been of tremendous interest to the scientific community for their application in the biomedical field. Among the available techniques, layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly has attracted considerable attention as a convenient method to fabricate functional coatings. Nowadays, more than 1000 scientific papers are published every year, tens of patents have been deposited and some commercial products based on LBL technology have become commercially available. LBL presents several advantages, such as (1): a precise control of the coating properties; (2) environmentally friendly, mild conditions and low-cost manufacturing; (3) versatility for coating all available surfaces; (4) obtainment of homogeneous film with controlled thickness; and (5) incorporation and controlled release of biomolecules/drugs. This paper critically reviews the scientific challenge of the last 10 years--functionalizing biomaterials by LBL to obtain appropriate properties for biomedical applications, in particular in tissue engineering (TE). The analysis of the state-of-the-art highlights the current techniques and the innovative materials for scaffold and medical device preparation that are opening the way for the preparation of LBL-functionalized substrates capable of modifying their surface properties for modulating cell interaction to improve substitution, repair or enhancement of tissue function.

Abstract
PURPOSE The use of musculoskeletal bioengineering and regenerative medicine applications in orthopaedic surgery has continued to evolve. The aim of this systematic review was to address tissue-engineering strategies for knee ligament reconstruction. METHODS A systematic review of PubMed/Medline using the terms "knee AND ligament" AND "tissue engineering" OR "regenerative medicine" was performed. Two authors performed the search, independently assessed the studies for inclusion, and extracted the data for inclusion in the review. Both preclinical and clinical studies were reviewed, and the articles deemed most relevant were included in this article to provide relevant basic science and recent clinical translational knowledge concerning "tissue-engineering" strategies currently used in knee ligament reconstruction. RESULTS A total of 224 articles were reviewed in our initial PubMed search. Non-English-language studies were excluded. Clinical and preclinical studies were identified, and those with a focus on knee ligament tissue-engineering strategies including stem cell-based therapies, growth factor administration, hybrid biomaterial, and scaffold development, as well as mechanical stimulation modalities, were reviewed. CONCLUSIONS The body of knowledge surrounding tissue-engineering strategies for ligament reconstruction continues to expand. Presently, various tissue-engineering techniques have some potential advantages, including faster recovery, better ligamentization, and possibly, a reduction of recurrence. Preclinical research of these novel therapies continues to provide promising results. There remains a need for well-designed, high-powered comparative clinical studies to serve as a foundation for successful translation into the clinical setting going forward.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hyaluronic acid (HA), a non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan, is an essential component of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Since HA is involved in many phases of wound healing and may play a key role in tissue repair and regeneration, this study was intended to understand temporal and spatial expression of HA and HA receptors (HARs) during the course of bladder regeneration in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to partial cystectomy followed by augmentation with porcine small intestinal submucosal (SIS) prepared from distal sections of the small intestine. SIS-augmented bladders were harvested between postoperative days 2 and 56. RESULTS Bladder regeneration proceeded without complications. All augmented bladders had complete urothelial lining and smooth muscle bundles by day 56 post-augmentation. Temporal and spatial distributions of HA and HARs were studied by immunohistochemistry in regenerating bladders. The strongest HA immunoreactivity was observed in the ECM on postoperative days 28 and 56. Cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44) immunoreactivity was detected in the cytoplasm of urothelial cells on day 56; and LYVE-1 immunoreactivity was exclusively limited to lymphatic vessels on days 28 and 56. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that HA was synthesized throughout the course of bladder wound healing and regeneration; and HA deposition coincided with urothelial differentiation. Expression of CD44 and LYVE-1 followed the same temporal pattern as HA deposition. Therapeutic modalities through local delivery of exogenous HA to improve the outcome of SIS-mediated bladder regeneration might need to be coordinated with HAR expression in order to achieve maximal regenerative responses as opposed to fibrosis.

Abstract
This review comprehensively covers research conducted to enhance polyethylene terephthalate (PET) artificial ligament osseointegration in the bone tunnel. These strategies, using biocompatible or bioactive coatings, had a positive effect in promoting PET ligament osseointegration by increasing bone formation and decreasing fibrous scar tissue at the ligament-to-bone interface. The improved osseointegration can be translated into a significant increase in the biomechanical pull-out loads. However, the load-to-failure of coated ligament is far lower than that of native ACL. Coatings to promote intra-articular ligamentization are also discussed in this study. Collectively, our investigations may arouse further study of the biological coating of PET artificial ligaments in order to effectively enhance ligament osseointegration and promote artificial ligament ligamentization.

Abstract
Polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel (PVA) is a synthetic polymer with an increasing application in the biomedical field that can potentially be used for vascular grafting. However, the tissue and blood-material interactions of such gels and membranes are unknown in detail. The objectives of this study were to: (a) assess the biocompatibility and (b) hemocompatibility of PVA-based membranes in order to get some insight into its potential use as a vascular graft. PVA was evaluated isolated or in copolymerization with dextran (DX), a biopolymer with known effects in blood coagulation homeostasis. The effects of the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from the umbilical cord Wharton's jelly in the improvement of PVA biocompatibility and in the vascular regeneration were also assessed. The biocompatibility of PVA was evaluated by the implantation of membranes in subcutaneous tissue using an animal model (sheep). Histological samples were assessed and the biological response parameters such as polymorphonuclear neutrophilic leucocytes and macrophage scoring evaluated in the implant/tissue interface by International Standards Office (ISO) Standard 10993-6 (annex E). According to the scoring system based on those parameters, a total value was obtained for each animal and for each experimental group. The in vitro hemocompatibility studies included the classic hemolysis assay and both human and sheep bloods were used. Relatively to biocompatibility results, PVA was slightly irritant to the surrounding tissues; PVA-DX or PVA plus MSCs groups presented the lowest score according to ISO Standard 10993-6. Also, PVA was considered a nonhemolytic biomaterial, presenting the lowest values for hemolysis when associated to DX.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate whether cationised gelatin and hyaluronic acid (CH) coating could induce polyethylene terephthalate (PET) artificial ligament graft osseointegration in the bone tunnel. METHODS Surface modification of PET artificial ligament graft was performed by layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly CH coating. Six pigs underwent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction on the right knees, with three pigs receiving the CH-coated PET grafts and the other three pigs non-CH-coated PET grafts as controls. They were sacrificed at three months after surgery and the graft-bone complexes were acquired for computed tomography (CT) scan and histological examination. RESULTS CT scans showed a significant difference at the distal femoral site (p = 0.031) or at the distal tibial site (p = 0.0078), but no significant difference in the bone tunnel areas' enlargement at other sites (p > 0.05) between the CH group and the control group. Histologically, application of CH coating induced new bone formation between graft and bone at three months compared with the controls at the distal site. The interface width of the CH group was significantly lower than that of the control group at the distal femoral site (p = 0.0327) and at the distal tibial site (p = 0.0047). CONCLUSIONS The study has shown that CH coating on the PET artificial ligament surface has a positive biological effect in the induction of artificial ligament osseointegration within the bone tunnel at the distal site of the bone tunnel.
