In vitro biocompatibility analysis of protein-resistant amphiphilic polysulfobetaines as coatings for surgical implants in contact with complex body fluids. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2024; 12:1403654.

Abstract
The fouling resistance of zwitterionic coatings is conventionally explained by the strong hydrophilicity of such polymers. Here, the in vitro biocompatibility of a set of systematically varied amphiphilic, zwitterionic copolymers is investigated. Photocrosslinkable, amphiphilic copolymers containing hydrophilic sulfobetaine methacrylate (SPe) and butyl methacrylate (BMA) were systematically synthesized in different ratios (50:50, 70:30, and 90:10) with a fixed content of photo-crosslinker by free radical copolymerization. The copolymers were spin-coated onto substrates and subsequently photocured by UV irradiation. Pure pBMA and pSPe as well as the prepared amphiphilic copolymers showed BMA content-dependent wettability in the dry state, but overall hydrophilic properties a fortiori in aqueous conditions. All polysulfobetaine-containing copolymers showed high resistance against non-specific adsorption (NSA) of proteins, platelet adhesion, thrombocyte activation, and bacterial accumulation. In some cases, the amphiphilic coatings even outperformed the purely hydrophilic pSPe coatings.

Biomimicking covalent organic frameworks nanocomposite coating for integrated enhanced anticorrosion and antifouling properties of a biodegradable magnesium stent. Acta Biomater 2024; 180:183-196. [PMID: 38604465 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.04.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024]
Abstract
The utilization of biodegradable magnesium (Mg) alloys in the fabrication of temporary non-vascular stents is an innovative trend in biomedical engineering. However, the heterogeneous degradation profiles of these biomaterials, together with potential bacterial colonization that could precipitate infectious or stenotic complications, are critical obstacles precluding their widespread clinical application. In pursuit of overcoming these limitations, this study applies the principles of biomimicry, particularly the hydrophobic and anti-fouling characteristics of lotus leaves, to pioneer the creation of nanocomposite coatings. These coatings integrate poly-trimethylene carbonate (PTMC) with covalent organic frameworks (COFs), to modify the stent's surface property. The strategic design of the coating's topography, porosity, and self-polishing capabilities collectively aims to decelerate degradation processes and minimize biological adhesion. The protective qualities of the coatings were substantiated through rigorous testing in both in vitro dynamic bile tests and in vivo New Zealand rabbit choledochal models. Empirical findings from these trials confirmed that the implementation of COF-based nanocomposite coatings robustly fortifies Mg implantations, conferring heightened resistance to both biocorrosion and biofouling as well as improved biocompatibility within bodily environments. The outcomes of this research elucidate a comprehensive framework for the multifaceted strategies against stent corrosion and fouling, thereby charting a visionary pathway toward the systematic conception of a new class of reliable COF-derived surface modifications poised to amplify the efficacy of Mg-based stents. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Biodegradable magnesium (Mg) alloys are widely utilized in temporary stents, though their rapid degradation and susceptibility to bacterial infection pose significant challenges. Our research has developed a nanocomposite coating inspired by the lotus, integrating poly-trimethylene carbonate with covalent organic frameworks (COF). The coating achieved self-polishing property and optimal surface energy on the Mg substrate, which decelerates stent degradation and reduces biofilm formation. Comprehensive evaluations utilizing dynamic bile simulations and implantation in New Zealand rabbit choledochal models reveal that the coating improves the durability and longevity of the stent. The implications of these findings suggest the potential COF-based Mg alloy stent surface treatments and a leap forward in advancing stent performance and endurance in clinical applications.

Abstract
Magnesium alloy stents have been extensively studied in the field of biodegradable metal stents due to their exceptional biocompatibility, biodegradability and excellent biomechanical properties. Nevertheless, the specific in vivo service environment causes magnesium alloy stents to degrade rapidly and fail to provide sufficient support for a certain time. Compared to previous reviews, this paper focuses on presenting an overview of the development history, the key issues, mechanistic analysis, traditional protection strategies and new directions and protection strategies for magnesium alloy stents. Alloying, optimizing stent design and preparing coatings have improved the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy stents. Based on the corrosion mechanism of magnesium alloy stents, as well as their deformation during use and environmental characteristics, we present some novel strategies aimed at reducing the degradation rate of magnesium alloys and enhancing the comprehensive performance of magnesium alloy stents. These strategies include adapting coatings for the deformation of the stents, preparing rapid endothelialization coatings to enhance the service environment of the stents, and constructing coatings with self-healing functions. It is hoped that this review can help readers understand the development of magnesium alloy cardiovascular stents and solve the problems related to magnesium alloy stents in clinical applications at the early implantation stage.

Abstract
Esophageal stricture (ES) results from benign and malignant conditions, such as uncontrolled gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and esophageal neoplasms. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is the preferred diagnostic approach for ES and its underlying causes. Stent insertion using an endoscope is a prevalent method for alleviating or treating ES. Nevertheless, the widely used self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) and self-expandable plastic stents (SEPS) can result in complications such as migration and restenosis. Furthermore, they necessitate secondary extraction in cases of benign esophageal stricture (BES), rendering them unsatisfactory for clinical requirements. Over the past 3 decades, significant attention has been devoted to biodegradable materials, including synthetic polyester polymers and magnesium-based alloys, owing to their exceptional biocompatibility and biodegradability while addressing the challenges associated with recurring procedures after BES resolves. Novel esophageal stents have been developed and are undergoing experimental and clinical trials. Drug-eluting stents (DES) with drug-loading and drug-releasing capabilities are currently a research focal point, offering more efficient and precise ES treatments. Functional innovations have been investigated to optimize stent performance, including unidirectional drug-release and anti-migration features. Emerging manufacturing technologies such as three-dimensional (3D) printing and new biodegradable materials such as hydrogels have also contributed to the innovation of esophageal stents. The ultimate objective of the research and development of these materials is their clinical application in the treatment of ES and other benign conditions and the palliative treatment of malignant esophageal stricture (MES). This review aimed to offer a comprehensive overview of current biodegradable esophageal stent materials and their applications, highlight current research limitations and innovations, and offer insights into future development priorities and directions.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) alloys are a very attractive material of construction for biodegradable temporary implants. However, Mg alloys suffer unacceptably rapid corrosion rates in aqueous environments, including physiological fluid, that may cause premature mechanical failure of the implant. This necessitates a biodegradable surface barrier coating that should delay the corrosion of the implant until the fractured/damaged bone has healed. This review takes a brief account of the merits and demerits of various existing coating methodologies for the mitigation of Mg alloy corrosion. Since among the different coating approaches investigated, no single coating recipe seems to address the degradation control and functionality entirely, this review argues the need for polymer-based and biodegradable composite coatings.

Abstract
The rapid degradation of magnesium (Mg) alloy implants erodes mechanical performance and interfacial bioactivity, thereby limiting their clinical utility. Surface modification is among the solutions to improve corrosion resistance and bioefficacy of Mg alloys. Novel composite coatings that incorporate nanostructures create new opportunities for their expanded use. Particle size dominance and impermeability may increase corrosion resistance and thereby prolong implant service time. Nanoparticles with specific biological effects may be released into the peri-implant microenvironment during the degradation of coatings to promote healing. Composite nanocoatings provide nanoscale surfaces to promote cell adhesion and proliferation. Nanoparticles may activate cellular signaling pathways, while those with porous or core-shell structures may carry antibacterial or immunomodulatory drugs. Composite nanocoatings may promote vascular reendothelialization and osteogenesis, attenuate inflammation, and inhibit bacterial growth, thus increasing their applicability in complex clinical microenvironments such as those of atherosclerosis and open fractures. This review combines the physicochemical properties and biological efficiency of Mg-based alloy biomedical implants to summarize the advantages of composite nanocoatings, analyzes their mechanisms of action, and proposes design and construction strategies, with the purpose of providing a reference for promoting the clinical application of Mg alloy implants and to further the design of nanocoatings.

Abstract
Control of premature corrosion of magnesium (Mg) alloy bioresorbable stents (BRS) is frequently achieved by the addition of rare earth elements. However, limited long-term experience with these elements causes concerns for clinical application and alternative methods of corrosion control are sought after. Herein, we report a "built-up" composite film consisting of a bottom layer of MgF2 conversion coating, a sandwich layer of a poly (1, 3-trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) and 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES) co-spray coating (PA) and on top a layer of poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) ultrasonic spray coating to decorate the rare earth element-free Mg-2Zn-1Mn (ZM21) BRS for tailoring both corrosion resistance and biological functions. The developed "built-up" composite film shows synergistic functionalities, allowing the compression and expansion of the coated ZM21 BRS on an angioplasty balloon without cracking or peeling. Of special importance is that the synergistic corrosion control effects of the "built-up" composite film allow for maintaining the mechanical integrity of stents for up to 3 months, where complete biodegradation and no foreign matter residue were observed about half a year after implantation in rabbit iliac arteries. Moreover, the functionalized ZM21 BRS accomplished re-endothelialization within one month.

Abstract
Absorbable magnesium (Mg) stents have an attractive biocompatibility and rapid degradation rate, but their degradable behavior and efficacy in the Eustachian tube (ET) have not yet been investigated. In this study, the degradable behavior of the Mg stent in artificial nasal mucus was evaluated. The Mg stents in the porcine ET model were also investigated to evaluate their safety and efficacy. Four Mg stents were placed into the four ETs of two pigs. The mass loss rate of the Mg stents gradually decreased over time. The decrease rates were 30.96% at one week, 49.00% at two weeks, and 71.80% at four weeks. On the basis of histological findings, the thickness of submucosal tissue hyperplasia and the degree of inflammatory cell infiltration significantly decreased at four weeks compared with two weeks. Biodegradation of the Mg stent occurred before tissue proliferative reactions, and the ET patency was successfully maintained without stent-induced tissue hyperplasia at four weeks. The Mg stent that biodegrades rapidly seems to be effective and safe in porcine ET. Further investigation is required to verify the optimal stent shape and indwell period in the ET.

[PMID: 36143793 PMCID: PMC9502503 DOI: 10.3390/ma15186481] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2022] [Revised: 09/12/2022] [Accepted: 09/15/2022] [Indexed: 05/17/2023]
Abstract
As a new type of biodegradable implant material, zinc matrix composites have excellent potential in the application of biodegradable implants because of their better corrosion resistance than magnesium matrix materials. Our previous studies have shown that graphene nanosheet reinforced zinc matrix composites (Zn-GNS) prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) have good mechanical properties and suitable degradation rate. However, the biocompatibility of zinc matrix composites is still a problem of concern. The cytocompatibility and blood compatibility of pure zinc and Zn-GNS composites in vitro were studied. The results showed that Zn-GNS composites had acceptable toxicity to MG-63 human osteosarcoma cells. In addition, the hemolysis rate of pure zinc and its composites were less than 3%, which has no adverse effect on adhered platelets, and has good antithrombotic and antiadhesion platelets properties. In conclusion, the addition of GNS did not adversely affect the biocompatibility of Zn-GNS composites, which indicated that Zn-GNS composites are a promising candidate for bone implantation.

Abstract
Zinc and its alloys are the best candidates for biodegradable cardiovascular stents due to their good corrosion rate and biocompatibility in vasculature. However, the cytotoxicity caused by the rapid release of zinc ions during the initial degradation stage and the lack of an anticoagulant function are huge challenges for their practical clinical applications. In this work, we developed a zinc ion-crosslinked polycarbonate/heparin composite coating via electrophoretic deposition (EPD) to improve the biocompatibility and provide anticoagulant functions for Zn-alloy stents. Both electrochemical tests and in vitro immersion tests demonstrated an enhanced corrosion resistance and lower Zn ion release rate of the coated Zn alloys. Enhanced adhesion and proliferation of endothelial cells on coated Zn alloys were also observed, indicating faster reendothelialization than that on bare Zn alloys. Moreover, the surface erosion of the composite coating led to the uniform and long-term release of heparin, which remarkably inhibited the adhesion and activation of platelets, and may have endowed the coated Zn-alloy stents with long-term anticoagulant functions.

Abstract
Endovascular treatment of aortic disorders has gained wide acceptance due to reduced physiological burden to the patient compared to open surgery, and ongoing stent-graft evolution has made aortic repair an option for patients with more complex anatomies. To date, commercial stent-grafts are typically developed from established production techniques with simple design structures and limited material ranges. Despite the numerous updated versions of stent-grafts by manufacturers, the reoccurrence of device-related complications raises questions about whether the current manfacturing methods are technically able to eliminate these problems. The technology trend to produce efficient medical devices, including stent-grafts and all similar implants, should eventually change direction to advanced manufacturing techniques. It is expected that through recent advancements, especially the emergence of 4D-printing and smart materials, unprecedented features can be defined for cardiovascular medical implants, like shape change and remote battery-free self-monitoring. 4D-printing technology promises adaptive functionality, a highly desirable feature enabling printed cardiovascular implants to physically transform with time to perform a programmed task. This review provides a thorough assessment of the established technologies for existing stent-grafts and provides technical commentaries on known failure modes. They then discuss the future of advanced technologies and the efforts needed to produce next-generation endovascular implants.

Abstract
The zinc-alloy stent is one of the best potential candidates for bioabsorbable metal stents because of its appropriate corrosion rate aligned to the duration of the healing process of the surrounding vessel tissues. However, excessive release of zinc ions, causing cytotoxicity of endothelial cells, and insufficient surface bio-functions of Zn-alloy stents lead to considerable challenge in their application. Herein, one-step electrophoretic deposition was employed to apply a hybrid coating of polycarbonate, tannic acid, and copper ions with tailored functions on Zn-alloy stents to enhance their corrosion resistance and provide an endothelium-mimicking surface. Specifically, the synthesized amino-functionalized aliphatic polycarbonates endowed the hybrid coating with specific surface-erosion properties, resulting in superior corrosion resistance and long-term stability in degradation tests both in vitro and in vivo. The immobilized copper ions enabled the catalytic generation of nitric oxide and promoted the adhesion and proliferation of endothelial cells on zinc alloy. The added tannic acid firmly chelated the copper ions and formed durable phenolic-copper-amine crosslinked networks by electrostatic interaction, resulting in long-term stability of the hybrid coating during the 21 day dynamic immersion test. Tannic acid exerted a synergistic antibacterial effect with copper ions as well as a reduction in the inflammatory response to the zinc substrate. In addition, the hybrid coating improved the in vitro hemocompatibility of zinc alloys. By adjusting the amount of chelated copper in the coating system, the biological function of the corresponding coatings can be controlled, providing a facile surface treatment strategy to promote the progress of zinc-alloy stents in clinical applications.

Abstract
In this study, a sulfur-mediated polycarbonate polyurethane (PCU-SS) is developed by mimicking the catalyzing ability of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) on nitric oxide (NO) in the human body. The PCU-SS is endowed with the capability to produce NO based on disulfide bonds, which could strongly improve the biocompatibility of the materials. The characterization results indicate that PCU-SS could not only decrease the adhesion of platelets but also enhance the capability of anti-thrombus. Moreover, it is shown that PCU-SS has a good compatibility with endothelial cells (ECs), while has a marked inhibition capacity of the proliferation of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and macrophages (MA). Meanwhile, the result of animal implantation experiments further demonstrates the good abilities of PCU-SS on anti-inflammation, anti-thrombus, and anti-hyperplasia. Our results offer a novel strategy for the modification of blood-contacting materials based on disulfide bonds. It is expected that the PCU-SS could shed new light on biocompatibility improvement of cardiovascular stents.

Abstract
Magnesium alloys with integration of degradability and good mechanical performance are desired for vascular stent application. Drug-eluting coatings may optimize the corrosion profiles of magnesium substrate and reduce the incidence of restenosis simultaneously. In this paper, poly (trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) with different molecular weight (50,000 g/mol named as PTMC5 and 350,000 g/mol named as PTMC35) was applied as drug-eluting coatings on magnesium alloys. A conventional antiproliferative drug, paclitaxel (PTX), was incorporated in the PTMC coating. The adhesive strength, corrosion behavior, drug release and biocompatibility were investigated. Compared with the PLGA control group, PTMC coating was uniform and gradually degraded from surface to inside, which could provide long-term protection for the magnesium substrate. PTMC35 coated samples exhibited much slower corrosion rate 0.05 μA/cm2 in comparison with 0.11 μA/cm2 and 0.13 μA/cm2 for PLGA and PTMC5 coated counterparts. In addition, PTMC35 coating showed more stable and sustained drug release ability and effectively inhibited the proliferation of human umbilical vein vascular smooth muscle cells. Hemocompatibility test indicated that few platelets were adhered on PTMC5 and PTMC35 coatings. PTMC35 coating, exhibiting surface erosion behavior, stable drug release and good biocompatibility, could be a good candidate as a drug-eluting coating for magnesium-based stent.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys, as potential biodegradable materials, have drawn wide attention in the cardiovascular stent field because of their appropriate mechanical properties and biocompatibility. Nevertheless, the occurrence of thrombosis, inflammation, and restenosis of implanted Mg alloy stents caused by their poor corrosion resistance and insufficient endothelialization restrains their anticipated clinical applications. Numerous surface treatment tactics have mainly striven to modify the Mg alloy for inhibiting its degradation rate and enduing it with biological functionality. This review focuses on highlighting and summarizing the latest research progress in functionalized coatings on Mg alloys for cardiovascular stents over the last decade, regarding preparation strategies for metal oxide, metal hydroxide, inorganic nonmetallic, polymer, and their composite coatings; and the performance of these strategies in regulating degradation behavior and biofunction. Potential research direction is also concisely discussed to help guide biological functionalized strategies and inspire further innovations. It is hoped that this review can give assistance to the surface modification of cardiovascular Mg-based stents and promote future advancements in this emerging research field.

Abstract
Designing grafted biodegradable polymers with tailored multi-functional properties is one of the most researched fields with extensive biomedical applications. Among many biodegradable polymers, polycarbonates have gained much attention due to their ease of synthesis, high drug loading, and excellent biocompatibility profiles. Among various monomers, 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl) propionic acid (bis-MPA) derived cyclic carbonate monomers have been extensively explored in terms of their synthesis as well as their polymerization. Since the late 90s, significant advancements have been made in the design of bis-MPA derived cyclic carbonate monomers as well as in their reaction schemes. Currently, bis-MPA derived polycarbonates have taken a form of an entire platform with a multitude of applications, the latest being in the field of nanotechnology, targeted drug, and nucleic acid delivery. The present review outlines an up to date developments that have taken place in the last two decades in the design, synthesis, and biomedical applications of bis-MPA derived cyclic carbonates and their (co)polymers.

Abstract
Mechanical performances for a composited bioresorbable stent were investigated by using the finite element method, which concerns the elastoplastic large deformation of expansion and springback during stent implantation. The introduced stent is composited by the outer layer of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and the core of magnesium alloy (Mg alloy). As comparisons, meanwhile two single-material stents of PLLA and Mg alloy with the same geometric structures as the composited stent were considered. The numeric simulation results indicated that, the wrapping of PLLA can make the maximum Mises stress locate at the interior, it is beneficial to slow down the earlier surface degradation of stents caused by stress concentration. Also, the variation of residual deformation and stress distribution in Mg alloy core after PLLA outer layer degraded entirely are analyzed. The distributions of normal and total shear stresses on the interface of two materials were also calculated for the cases of expansion and springback. In addition, the analysis reveals the radius of implanted stent is in approximate linearly related to the expansion displacement load.

Abstract
The excellent biocompatibility of calcium phosphate (CaP) coatings makes them widely used in magnesium (Mg) alloy orthopedic implant materials. However, the porous morphology of CaP coatings limits their corrosion resistance. A cupric oxide (CuO) doped titania (TiO2) sol-gel coating is prepared on a porous hydroxyapatite (HA) coating. According to electrochemical test results, the HA/CuO-TiO2 coating obtains a current density of 6 × 10-4 mA/cm2, lower than that of the Mg alloy (2.6 × 10-2 mA/cm2). The hydrogen evaluation of the HA/CuO-TiO2 coating is only 1/12 that of the Mg alloy after immersion for 7 days. In addition, the HA/CuO-TiO2 coating has an antibacterial rate of 99.5 ± 0.4% against Staphylococcus aureus, significantly higher than that of the HA coating (19.8 ± 0.3%) and HTC0 coating (38.4 ± 0.5%). The CuO doped composite coating has no adverse effect or cytotoxicity on cell proliferation (cell viability ≥79.6%). Hence, the HA/CuO-TiO2 composite coating is useful for enhancing the corrosion resistance and antibacterial properties of Mg alloys while ensuring cytocompatibility. The HA/CuO-TiO2 coated AZ60 Mg alloy can meet the requirements of clinical application.

Abstract
Although the use of bioresorbable materials in stent production is thought to improve long-term safety compared to their durable counterparts, a recent FDA report on the 2-year follow-up of the first FDA-approved bioresorbable vascular stent showed an increased occurrence of major adverse cardiac events and thrombosis in comparison to the metallic control. In order to overcome the issues of first generation bioresorbable polymers, a series of polyethylene glycol-functionalized poly-L-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone copolymers with varying lactide-to-caprolactone content is developed using a novel one-step PEG-functionalization and copolymerization strategy. This approach represents a new facile way toward surface enhancement for cellular interaction, which is shown by screening these materials regarding their cyto- and hemocompatibility in terms of cytotoxicity, hemolysis, platelet adhesion, leucocyte activation and endothelial cell adhesion. By varying the lactide-to-caprolactone polymer composition, it is possible to gradually affect endothelial and platelet adhesion which allows fine-tuning of the biological response based on polymer chemistry. All polymers developed were non-cytotoxic, had acceptable leucocyte activation levels and presented non-hemolytic (<2% hemolysis rate) behavior except for PLCL-PEG 55:45 which presented hemolysis rate of 2.5% ± 0.5. Water contact angles were reduced in the polymers containing PEG functionalization (PLLA-PEG: 69.8° ± 2.3, PCL-PEG: 61.2° ± 7.5) versus those without (PLLA: 79.5° ± 3.2, PCL: 76.4° ± 10.2) while the materials PCL-PEG550, PLCL-PEG550 90:10 and PLCL-PEG550 70:30 demonstrated best endothelial cell adhesion. PLLA-PEG550 and PLCL-PEG550 70:30 presented as best candidates for cardiovascular implant use from a cytocompatibility perspective across the spectrum of testing completed. Altogether, these polymers are excellent innovative materials suited for an application in stent manufacture due to the ease in translation of this one-step synthesis strategy to device production and their excellent in vitro cyto- and hemocompatibility.

Abstract
Absorbable magnesium (Mg) materials are promising for medical implant applications. However, their corrosion rate and potential toxicity remain a challenge. Herein, a photo-cross-linked coating with suitable durability and unique surface-eroding behavior for enhancement of anticorrosion property and cytocompatibility of AZ31 Mg alloy was developed. The biodegradable allyl-functional polycarbonate, poly[(5-methyl-5-allyloxycarbonyl-1,3-propanediol carbonate)-co-(trimethylene carbonate)] [P(MAC-co-TMC), PMT], was first synthesized by ring-opening copolymerization. The PMT copolymer, pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionate), and a photoinitiator were then applied on AZ31 Mg alloy by dip coating, and these films were cross-linked via the subsequent photoinitiated thiol-ene click reaction. The poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(1,3-trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) coatings without cross-linking were prepared and used as control. Our results show that the cross-linked PMT coatings exhibited superior mechanical properties compared with PLLA and PTMC coatings. Meanwhile, the surface-erosion behavior of the cross-linked PMT coatings remained, as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy analysis. As a result, the cross-linked PMT-coated Mg alloy showed lower corrosion rates, better in vitro corrosion resistance, and much lower cytotoxicity, compared with bare Mg and ones coated with PLLA and PTMC coatings. Results indicate that the cross-linked PMT coatings with unique surface-erosion behavior and good cytocompatibility might be promising to improve the safety and success rate of Mg-based devices and implants.

Abstract
Magnesium alloys are the most widely studied biodegradable metals for biodegradable vascular stent application. Two major issues with current magnesium alloy based stents are their low ductility and fast corrosion rates. Several studies have validated that introduction of Li into the magnesium alloys will significantly improve the ductility while alloying with Al will improve the corrosion resistance and strength. In the present study, we studied the effects of alloying different amounts of Li and Al on the Mg-Li-Al-Zn (LAZ) quaternary alloy system. Rods were made from four different LAZ alloys, namely, LAZ611, LAZ631, LAZ911, and LAZ931 following melting, casting, and then extrusion. Systematic assessment of mechanical properties, in vitro corrosion, cytotoxicity, and in vivo degradation including local and systemic toxicity conducted demonstrated the beneficial effects of Li and Al on the mechanical properties. Our results specifically suggest that alloying with Li significantly improved the ductility while Al enhanced the strength of the LAZ alloys. Four of the LAZ alloys exhibited different corrosion rates in Hank's balanced salt solution depending on the chemical composition. Indirect in vitro cytotoxicity tests also showed lower cytotoxicity for the alloys exhibiting higher corrosion resistance. In vivo corrosion rates in the mouse subcutaneous model showed different corrosion rates compared to the in vitro tests. Nevertheless, all of the four LAZ alloys displayed no local and systemic toxicity based on the histology analysis. This research study, therefore, demonstrated the benefits of using Li and Al as alloying elements in LAZ alloys and the potential use of LAZ alloys for vascular stent application.

Abstract
As a new type of intestinal stent, the MAO/PLLA/paclitaxel/Mg–Zn–Y–Nd alloy stent has shown good degradability, although its biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo has not been investigated in detail. In this study, its in vivo biocompatibility was evaluated by animal study. New Zealand white rabbits were implanted with degradable intestinal Mg–Zn–Y–Nd alloy stents that were exposed to different treatments. Stent degradation behavior was observed both macroscopically and using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Energy dispersion spectrum (EDS) and histological observations were performed to investigate stent biological safety. Macroscopic analysis showed that the MAO/PLLA/paclitaxel/Mg–Zn–Y–Nd stents could not be located 12 days after implantation. SEM observations showed that corrosion degree of the MAO/PLLA/paclitaxel/Mg–Zn–Y–Nd stents implanted in rabbits was significantly lower than that in the PLLA/Mg–Zn–Y–Nd stent group. Both histopathological testing and serological analysis of in vivo biocompatibility demonstrated that the MAO/PLLA/paclitaxel/Mg–Zn–Y–Nd alloy stents could significantly inhibit intestinal tissue proliferation compared to the PLLA/Mg–Zn–Y–Nd alloy stents, thus providing the basis for designing excellent biodegradable drug stents. Mg–Zn–Y–Nd alloy stents coated with MAO/PLLA/paclitaxel coating were implanted into the New Zealand rabbits intestine to investigate the biocompatibility and degradation behavior.![]()

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys as temporary medical implants with biodegradable and properly mechanical properties have been investigated for a long time. There are already three kinds of biodegradable Mg implants which are approved by Conformite Europeene (CE) or Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA), but not China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA, now it is National Medical Products Administration, NMPA). As we know, Chinese researchers, surgeons, and entrepreneurs have tried a lot to research and develop biodegradable Mg implants which might become other new approved implants for clinical applications. So in this review, we present the representative Mg implants of three categories, orthopedic implants, surgical implants, and intervention implants and provide an overview of current achievement in China from academic publications and Chinese patents. We would like to provide a systematic way to translate Mg and its alloy implants from experiment designs to clinical products.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) alloys have been promised for biomedical implants in orthopedic field, however, the fast corrosion rate and mode challenge their clinical application. To push Mg alloys materials into practice, a composite coating with biodegradable and high compatible components to improve anticorrosion property of an Mg alloy (i.e., AZ31) is designed and fabricated. The inner layer is micro-nano structured Mg(OH)2 through hydrothermal treatment. Then stearic acid (SA) is introduced to modify Mg(OH)2 for better reducing the gap below a surface-degradation polymer layer of poly(1,3-trimethylene carbonate). Benefited by the SA modification effect, this sandwiched coating avoids corrosive medium penetration via enhancing the adhesion strength at the interface between outer and inner layers. Both in vitro and in vivo tests indicate that the composite coating modified AZ31 perform a better anticorrosion behavior and biocompatibility compared to bare AZ31. Strikingly, a 1.7-fold improvement in volume of newly formed bone is observed surrounding the composite coating modified implant after 12 week implantation. The sandwiched biocompatible coating strategy paves a hopeful way for future translational application of Mg alloys orthopedic materials in clinics.

Abstract
Vascular stent interventional therapy, as a regular and effective therapy, has been widely used to treat coronary artery diseases. However, adverse events occur frequently after stent intervention, especially restenosis and late stent thrombosis. The targeted implanting site will suffer from severe atherosclerosis, which is considered as a chronic inflammatory disease. Meanwhile, with the over-expanding use of endovascular mechanical intervention, vascular injury has become an increasingly common issue. Lesions and newly induced vascular injury result in inflammatory and oxidative stress; meanwhile, activated macrophages and granulocytes generate high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), contributing to endothelial dysfunction and neointima hyperplasia. Therefore, attenuating oxidative stress and reducing ROS generation in the inflammatory response represent reasonable strategies to inhibit intimal hyperplasia and restenosis. Herein, we have developed a multifunctional surface for the MgZnYNd alloy with tannic acid (TA) coating, and the pH dependence of the coating deposition is also demonstrated. The phenolic hydroxyl groups on the coatings endow the modified surface with excellent antioxidant functions. We found that the coating can be recycled, and the scavenging activity hardly weakened within five cycles. Also, the TA coating has a promising strong antioxidant activity as it shows a radical scavenging activity over 80% in long term. Moreover, the TA coating possesses platelet-repellent capability. No significant inflammatory response was observed for the TA modified sample in the rat subcutaneous implantation test. Combining these performances, we envision that the vascular stent modified with TA coating can have great potential in various applications by virtue of its simplicity and effectiveness.

Abstract
Background The use of surgical metal clips is crucial for ligating vessels in various operations. The currently available metal clips have several drawbacks; they are permanent and interfere with imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and carry the potential risk of endo-clip migration. We recently developed a novel magnesium (Mg) alloy for biodegradable clips that reduces artifacts on CT imaging. This study aimed to examine the tolerance, biodegradability, and biocompatibility of the Mg alloy clips compared with those of standard titanium (Ti) clips in hepatectomy. Methods Thirty Wistar rats were divided into two groups based on the clip used (groups A and B). The vascular pedicle, including hepatic artery, portal vein, bile duct, and hepatic vein of the left lateral lobe, was ligated with the Ti clip in group A or the Mg alloy clip in group B, and then the left lateral lobe was removed. The rats were sacrificed at 1, 4, 12, 24, and 36 weeks after surgery. Clinical and histological evaluations were performed. Absorption rate was calculated by measuring the clip volume. Results Although the Mg alloy clips showed biodegradability over time, there were no significant differences in the serum concentration of Mg between the two groups. The remaining volume ratio of Mg alloy clips was 95.5, 94.3, 80.0, 36.2, and 16.7% at 1, 4, 12, 24, and 36 weeks, respectively. No side effects occurred. Most of the microscopic changes were similar in both groups. Conclusions The new biodegradable Mg alloy clips are safe and feasible in vessel ligation for hepatectomy in a rat model and reduce artifacts in CT imaging compared with the standard Ti clips.

Abstract
Bare metal stents are commonly used in interventional cardiology; they provide successful treatment because of their excellent mechanical properties, expandability ratios, and flexibility. However, their insufficient vascular affinity can induce the development of neointimal hyperplasia following arterial injury and subsequent smooth muscle cell overgrowth in the lumen of a stented vessel. Nanoengineering of the bare metal stent surface is a valuable strategy for eliciting favorable vascular responses. In this study, we introduce a target-ion-induced plasma sputtering (TIPS) technique to fabricate a platform with a favorable endothelial environment. This technique enables the simple single-step production of a Ta-implanted nanoridged surface on a stent with a complex 3D geometry that shows a clear tendency to become oriented parallel to the direction of blood flow. Moreover, the nanoridges developed show good structural integrity and mechanical stability, resulting in apparently stable morphologies under high strain rates. In vitro cellular responses to the Co-Cr, such as endothelialization, platelet activation, and blood coagulation, are considerably altered after TIPS treatment; endothelium formation is rapid and surface thrombogenicity is low. An in vivo rabbit iliac artery model is used to confirm that the nanoridged surface facilitates rapid re-endothelialization and limits the formation of neointima compared to the bare stent. These results indicate that the Ta ion implanted nanoridge platform fabricated using the TIPS technique has immense potential as a solution for in-stent restenosis and ensuring the long-term patency of bare metal stents.

Abstract
Hydrophobic coating is of great interest to enhance the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy implants, which always suffer from rapid corrosion that leads to the failing application under physiological conditions. Plasma-polymerized fluorocarbon (C-F) coating has been widely studied as a substrate protection layer; however, the precise control of the deposition rate of C-F coating with fluorinated alkanes has been a challenge. In this study, a thin, uniform, pinhole-free, polymerlike, and hydrophobic C-F coating was successfully prepared using acetylene (C2H2) as a cross-linking agent, which endows the coating with tunable properties of deposition rate by incorporation of unsaturated bonds. Electrochemical corrosion and in vitro immersion test demonstrated that the C-F coating significantly slows down the corrosion rate of MgZnMn in phosphate-buffered saline solution at 37 °C. Furthermore, an additional layer of PPAam was deposited on the C-F coating to eliminate the adverse effect of C-F surface on cytocompatibility. Thus, such a stacked coating imparts MgZnMn with a significantly improved corrosion resistance and promotes cell adhesion and viability. Therefore, the strategy of acetylene-mediated C-F-based coating shows a great potential for tailoring ideal surface functionalities of magnesium-based medical devices.

Abstract
Magnesium, as a biodegradable metal, is a promising candidate for biomedical applications. To modify the degradation behavior of magnesium and improve its osteocompatibility, chemical conversion and spin coating methods were combined to develop a diammonium hydrogen phosphate-pretreated/poly(ether imide) (DAHP/PEI) co-coating system. The diammonium hydrogen phosphate pretreatment was employed to enhance the attachment between PEI coatings and the magnesium substrate; meanwhile, it could serve as another bioactive and anticorrosion layer when PEI coatings break down. Surface characterization, electrochemical tests, and short-term immersion tests in DMEM were performed to evaluate DAHP/PEI coatings. Electrochemical measurements showed that DAHP/PEI coatings significantly improved the corrosion resistance of pure magnesium. No obvious changes of the chemical compositions of DAHP/PEI coatings occurred after 72 h of immersion in DMEM. An in vitro cytocompatibility study confirmed that viability and LDH activity of human osteoblast-like cells on DAHP/PEI coatings showed higher values than those on the DAHP-pretreated layer and pure magnesium. The DAHP-pretreated layer could still enhance the ALP activity of MG-63 cells after the degradation of PEI in DAHP/PEI coatings. Besides that, the in vitro cellular response to the treated magnesium was investigated to gain knowledge on the differentiation and proliferation of human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs). Cell distribution and morphology were observed by fluorescence and SEM images, which demonstrated that DAHP/PEI coatings facilitated cell differentiation and proliferation. The high level of C-terminals of collagen type I production of hADSCs on DAHP/PEI coatings indicated the potential of the coating for promoting osteogenic differentiation. Positive results from long-term cytocompatibility and proliferation tests indicate that DAHP/PEI coatings can offer an excellent surface for hADSCs.

Abstract
Various coatings have been used to slow down the corrosion rate of biomedical magnesium alloys. However, these coatings usually act only as passive barriers. It is much more desirable to endow such coatings with active, biocorrosion-responsive self-repairing capacity. In the present work, a self-healing coating system (denoted as "silk-PA") was constructed in the form of a sandwich architecture of fluoride precoating (bottom), silk-phytic acid (PA) coating (middle), and silk fibroin coating (top). Here, PA was loaded in the middle coating as a corrosion inhibitor by harnessing its strong chelating ability toward dissolving Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions. The self-healing property was evaluated by scratch and SVET tests, and the corrosion resistance was evaluated by in vitro immersion and electrochemical measurements. The results showed that the silk-PA manifested intriguing self-healing capacity with pH responsiveness, hence profiting the corrosion resistance of the Mg-1Ca alloy. The biocompatibility and osteogenic activity of the coating system were further evaluated using MC3T3-E1 cells, and it demonstrated favorable responses in multiple cellular behaviors, i.e., adherence, spreading, proliferation, and differentiation. These findings open new opportunities in the study of self-healing coatings for protection against corrosion in biomedical Mg alloys. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In the present study, a self-healing coating system with pH stimuli-responsiveness and osteogenic activity was fabricated on Mg-1Ca alloy by integrating a silk fibroin barrier coating, a silk fibrin/phytic acid composite coating, and a fluoride precoating. This coating system demonstrated interesting self-healing ability as compared to traditional surface modification layers. Furthermore, the self-healing ability enhanced the corrosion resistance of biomedical magnesium alloys, while effective compositions of the coating system endowed the substrate with osteogenic activity. This work provides some new insights into smart surface modification for biomedical Mg alloys.

Abstract
Magnesium and its alloys are biodegradable materials with great potential for biomedical development; however, their high rate of degradation in biological environments limits the widespread application of these materials. In order to improve the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy, a functional calcium phosphate coating was prepared on Mg-3Zn-0.5Zr-0.5Sr alloy by microarc oxidation (MAO) combined with chemical deposition of fluoridated hydroxyapatite (FHA). A dense calcium-phosphorus coating 6 μm thick composed of needle-shaped fluoridated hydroxyapatite formed on the surface of the MAO layer. The MAO-FHA coating exhibited good mineralization ability to induce hydroxyapatite deposition on its surface during degradation testing in simulated bodily fluids.

Abstract
Cerebrovascular disease involves various medical disorders that obstruct brain blood vessels or deteriorate cerebral circulation, resulting in ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. Nowadays, platinum coils with or without biological modification have become routine embolization devices to reduce the risk of cerebral aneurysm bleeding. Additionally, many intracranial stents, flow diverters, and stent retrievers have been invented with uniquely designed structures. To accelerate the translation of these devices into clinical usage, an in-depth understanding of the mechanical and material performance of these metal-based devices is critical. However, considering the more distal location and tortuous anatomic characteristics of cerebral arteries, present devices still risk failing to arrive at target lesions. Consequently, more flexible endovascular devices and novel designs are under urgent demand to overcome the deficiencies of existing devices. Herein, the pros and cons of the current structural designs are discussed when these devices are applied to the treatment of diseases ranging broadly from hemorrhages to ischemic strokes, in order to encourage further development of such kind of devices and investigation of their use in the clinic. Moreover, novel biodegradable materials and drug elution techniques, and the design, safety, and efficacy of personalized devices for further clinical applications in cerebral vasculature are discussed.

Abstract
Today, research in the field of bioresorbable vascular stents (BVS) not only focusses on a new material being nontoxic but also tries to enhance its biocompatibility in terms of endothelialization potential and hemocompatibility. To this end, we used picosecond laser ablation technology as a single‐step and contactless method for surface microstructuring of a bioresorbable polymer which can be utilized in stent manufacture. The method works on all materials via fast material removal, can be easily adapted for micropatterning of tubular or more complex sample shapes and scaled up by means of micropatterning of metal molds for manufacturing. Here, picosecond laser ablation was applied to a bioresorbable, biologically inactive and polyethylene glycol‐modified poly‐l‐lactide polymer (PEGylated PLLA) to generate parallel microgrooves with varying geometries. The different patterns were thoroughly evaluated by a series of cyto‐ and hemocompatibility tests revealing that all surfaces were non‐toxic and non‐hemolytic. More importantly, patterns with 20 to 25 µm wide and 6 to 7 µm deep grooves significantly enhanced endothelial cell adhesion in comparison to samples with smaller grooves. Here, human cardiac microvascular endothelial cells were found to align along the groove direction, which is thought to encourage endothelialization of intraluminal surfaces of BVS. © 2018 The Authors Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B: Applied Biomaterials Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Recent studies indicate that there is a great demand to optimize pure Zn with tunable degradation rates and more desirable biocompatibility as orthopedic implants. Metal matrix composite (MMC) can be a promising approach for this purpose. In this study, MMC with pure Zn as a matrix and hydroxyapatite (HA) as reinforcements were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS). Feasibility of novel Zn-HA composites to be used as orthopedic implant applications was systematically evaluated. After sintering, HA distributed in the Zn particle boundaries uniformly. Corrosion tests indicated that the degradation rates of Zn-HA composites were adjustable due to the biphasic effects of HA. Zn-HA composites showed significantly improved cell viability of osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells compared with pure Zn. Both pure Zn and composites exhibited a low thrombosis risk and hemolysis rates while a Zn ion concentration-dependent effect was found on coagulation time. An effective antibacterial property was observed as well. The volume loss of pure Zn and Zn-5HA composite was 1.7% and 3.2% after 8 weeks' implantation. Histological analysis found newly formed bone surrounding pure Zn and Zn-5HA composite at week 4 and increased bone mass over time. With prolonged implantation time, Zn-5HA composite was more effective on stimulating new bone formation than pure Zn. In summary, MMC is a feasible way to design Zn based materials with adjustable degradation rates and improved biocompatibility. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Biodegradable zinc materials are promising candidates for the new generation of orthopedic implants. However, the slow degradation rates and unsatisfactory cytocompatibility of pure Zn in bone environments limit its future clinical applications. Generally, alloying is a common way to improve the performance of pure Zn. In this study, metal matrix composite was chosen as a novel strategy to solve the problems. Hydroxyapatite, as a bioactive component, was added into Zn matrix via spark plasma sintering. We find that Zn-HA composites exhibited adjustable degradation rates and improved biocompatibility both in vitro and in vivo. This study provides exhaustive and significant information including microstructure, mechanical performance, degradation behavior, biocompatibility, hemocompatibility and antibacterial property for the future Zn based implants design.

Study on the Mg-Li-Zn ternary alloy system with improved mechanical properties, good degradation performance and different responses to cells. Acta Biomater 2017; 62:418-433.

Abstract
Novel Mg-(3.5, 6.5wt%)Li-(0.5, 2, 4wt%)Zn ternary alloys were developed as new kinds of biodegradable metallic materials with potential for stent application. Their mechanical properties, degradation behavior, cytocompatibility and hemocompatibility were studied. These potential biomaterials showed higher ultimate tensile strength than previously reported binary Mg-Li alloys and ternary Mg-Li-X (X=Al, Y, Ce, Sc, Mn and Ag) alloys. Among the alloys studied, the Mg-3.5Li-2Zn and Mg-6.5Li-2Zn alloys exhibited comparable corrosion resistance in Hank's solution to pure magnesium and better corrosion resistance in a cell culture medium than pure magnesium. Corrosion products observed on the corroded surface were composed of Mg(OH)2, MgCO3 and Ca-free Mg/P inorganics and Ca/P inorganics. In vitro cytotoxicity assay revealed different behaviors of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) and Human Aorta Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells (VSMCs) to material extracts. HUVECs showed increasing nitric oxide (NO) release and tolerable toxicity, whereas VSMCs exhibited limited decreasing viability with time. Platelet adhesion, hemolysis and coagulation tests of these Mg-Li-Zn alloys showed different degrees of activation behavior, in which the hemolysis of the Mg-3.5Li-2Zn alloy was lower than 5%. These results indicated the potential of the Mg-Li-Zn alloys as good candidate materials for cardiovascular stent applications. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Mg-Li alloys are promising as absorbable metallic biomaterials, which however have not received significant attention since the low strength, controversial corrosion performance and the doubts in Li toxicity. The Mg-Li-Zn alloy in the present study revealed much improved mechanical properties higher than most reported binary Mg-Li and ternary Mg-Li-X alloys, with superior corrosion resistance in cell culture media. Surprisingly, the addition of Li and Zn showed increased nitric oxide release. The present study indicates good potential of Mg-Li-Zn alloy as absorbable cardiovascular stent material.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg)-based stents are extensively explored to alleviate atherosclerosis due to their biodegradability and relative hemocompatibility. To ensure the quality, safety and cost-efficacy of bioresorbable scaffolds and full utilization of the material tunability afforded by alloying, it is critical to access degradability and thrombosis potential of Mg-based alloys using improved in vitro models that mimic as closely as possible the in vivo microenvironment. In this study, we investigated biodegradation and initial thrombogenic behavior of Mg-based alloys at the interface between Mg alloys' surface and simulated physiological environment using a microfluidic system. The degradation properties of Mg-based alloys WE43, AZ31, ZWEK-L, and ZWEK-C were evaluated in complete culture medium and their thrombosis potentials in platelet rich plasma, respectively. The results show that 1) physiological shear stress increased the corrosion rate and decreased platelets adhesion rate as compared to static immersion; 2) secondary phases and impurities in material composition induced galvanic corrosion, resulting in higher corrosion resistance and platelet adhesion rate; 3) Mg-based alloys with higher corrosion rate showed higher platelets adhesion rate. We conclude that a microfluidic-based in vitro system allows evaluation of biodegradation behaviors and platelets responses of Mg-based alloys under specific shear stress, and degradability is related to platelets adhesion.
