Morra M, Iviglia G, Cassinelli C, Sartori M, Cavazza L, Martini L, Fini M, Giavaresi G. Preliminary Evaluation of Bioactive Collagen-Polyphenol Surface Nanolayers on Titanium Implants: An X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Bone Implant Study. J Funct Biomater 2024; 15:170. [PMID: 39057292 PMCID: PMC11278435 DOI: 10.3390/jfb15070170] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2024] [Revised: 06/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
To endow an implant surface with enhanced properties to ensure an appropriate seal with the host tissue for inflammation/infection resistance, next-generation bone implant collagen-polyphenol nanolayers were built on conventional titanium surfaces through a multilayer approach. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) analysis was performed to investigate the chemical arrangement of molecules within the surface layer and to provide an estimate of their thickness. A short-term (2 and 4 weeks) in vivo test of bone implants in a healthy rabbit model was performed to check possible side effects of the soft surface layer on early phases of osteointegration, leading to secondary stability. Results show the building up of the different nanolayers on top of titanium, resulting in a final composite collagen-polyphenol surface and a layer thickness of about 10 nm. In vivo tests performed on machined and state-of-the-art microrough titanium implants do not show significant differences between coated and uncoated samples, as the surface microroughness remains the main driver of bone-to-implant contact. These results confirm that the surface nanolayer does not interfere with the onset and progression of implant osteointegration and prompt the green light for specific investigations of the potential merits of this bioactive coating as an enhancer of the device/tissue seal.

J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2024; 154:106498.

Abstract
Chitosan (CS) and phloroglucinol (PhG), two extracts abundantly found in marine life, were investigated for their ability to biomodify demineralized dentin by enhancing collagen crosslinks and improving dentin extracellular matrix (ECM) mechanical and biochemical stability. Dentin obtained from non-carious extracted human molars were demineralized with phosphoric acid. Baseline Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, apparent flexural elastic modulus (AE) and dry mass (DM) of each specimen were independently acquired. Specimens were randomly incubated for 5 min into either ultrapure water (no-treatment), 1% glutaraldehyde (GA), 1% CS or 1% PhG. Water and GA were used, respectively, as a negative and positive control for collagen crosslinks. Specimens' post-treatment FTIR spectra, AE, and DM were obtained and compared with correspondent baseline measurements. Additionally, the host-derived proteolytic activity of dentin ECM was assessed using hydroxyproline assay (HYP) and spectrofluorometric analysis of a fluorescent-quenched substrate specific for matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Finally, the bond strength of an etch-and-rinse adhesive was evaluated after application of marine compounds as non-rinsing dentin primers. Dentin specimens FTIR spectral profile changed remarkably, and their AE increased significantly after treatment with marine compounds. DM variation, HYP assay and fluorogenic substrate analysis concurrently indicated the biodegradation of CS- and PhG-treated specimens was significantly lesser in comparison with untreated specimens. CS and PhG treatments enhanced biomechanical/biochemical stability of demineralized dentin. These novel results show that PhG is a primer with the capacity to biomodify demineralized dentin, hence rendering it less susceptible to biodegradation by host-proteases.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2024; 12:1401032.

Abstract
Objectives To study the ability of theaflavin-3,3'-digallate (TF3)/ethanol solution to crosslink demineralized dentin collagen, resist collagenase digestion, and explore the potential mechanism. Methods Fully demineralized dentin blocks were prepared using human third molars that were caries-free. Then, these blocks were randomly allocated into 14 separate groups (n = 6), namely, control, ethanol, 5% glutaraldehyde (GA), 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 mg/ml TF3/ethanol solution groups. Each group was further divided into two subgroups based on crosslinking time: 30 and 60 s. The efficacy and mechanism of TF3's interaction with dentin type I collagen were predicted through molecular docking. The cross-linking, anti-enzymatic degradation, and biomechanical properties were studied by weight loss, hydroxyproline release, scanning/transmission electron microscopy (SEM/TEM), in situ zymography, surface hardness, thermogravimetric analysis, and swelling ratio. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Raman spectroscopy were utilized to explore its mechanisms. Statistical analysis was performed using one and two-way analysis of variance and Tukey's test. Results TF3/ethanol solution could effectively crosslink demineralized dentin collagen and improve its resistance to collagenase digestion and biomechanical properties (p < 0.05), showing concentration and time dependence. The effect of 25 and 50 mg/ml TF3/ethanol solution was similar to that of 5% GA, whereas the 100 mg/mL TF3/ethanol solution exhibited better performance (p < 0.05). TF3 and dentin type I collagen are mainly cross-linked by hydrogen bonds, and there may be covalent and hydrophobic interactions. Conclusion TF3 has the capability to efficiently cross-link demineralized dentin collagen, enhancing its resistance to collagenase enzymatic hydrolysis and biomechanical properties within clinically acceptable timeframes (30 s/60 s). Additionally, it exhibits promise in enhancing the longevity of dentin adhesion.

Abstract
Infectious oral diseases are longstanding global public health concerns. However, traditional medical approaches to address these diseases are costly, traumatic, and prone to relapse. Here, we propose a foodborne prophylactic strategy using aloin to safeguard dental collagen. The effect of aloin on the stability of dental collagen was evaluated by treating dentin with a solution containing aloin (0.1 mg/mL) for 2 min. This concentration is comparable to the natural aloin content of edible aloe. Furthermore, we investigated the mechanisms underlying the interactions between aloin and dentin collagen. Our findings, obtained through fluorescence spectroscopy, attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Gaussian peak fitting, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction, revealed that aloin interacts with dental collagen through noncovalent bonding, specifically hydrogen bonding in situ. This interaction leads to a reduction in the distance between molecules and an increase in the proportion of stable α-helical chains in the dental collagen. The ultimate tensile strength and thermogravimetric analysis demonstrated that dental collagen treated with aloin exhibited improved mechanical strength and thermostability. Additionally, the release of hydroxyproline, cross-linked carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen, and C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type I collagen, along with weight loss, indicated an enhancement in the enzymatic stability of dental collagen. These findings suggest that aloin administration could be a daily, nondestructive, and cost-effective strategy for managing infectious oral diseases.

J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2024; 112:e35333. [PMID: 37792302 PMCID: PMC10842555 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.b.35333] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2022] [Revised: 07/27/2023] [Accepted: 09/07/2023] [Indexed: 10/05/2023]
Abstract
Flavan-3-ol monomers are the building blocks of proanthocyanidins (PACs), natural compounds from plants shown to mediate specific biologic activities on dentin. While the stereochemistry of the terminal flavan-3-ols, catechin (C) versus epicatechin (EC), impacts the biomechanical properties of the dentin matrix treated with oligomeric PACs, structure-activity relationships driving this bioactivity remain elusive. To gain insights into the modulatory role of the terminal monomers, two highly congruent trimeric PACs from Pinus massoniana only differing in the stereochemistry of the terminal unit (Trimer-C vs. Trimer-EC) were prepared to evaluate their chemical characteristics as well as their effects on the viscoelasticity and biostability of biomodified dentin matrices via infrared spectroscopy and multi-scale dynamic mechanical analyses. The subtle alteration of C versus EC as terminal monomers lead to distinct immediate PAC-trimer biomodulation of the dentin matrix. Nano- and micro-dynamic mechanical analyses revealed that Trimer-EC increased the complex moduli (0.51 GPa) of dentin matrix more strongly than Trimer-C (0.26 GPa) at the nanoscale length (p < 0.001), whereas the reverse was found at the microscale length (p < .001). The damping capacity (tan δ) of dentin matrix decreased by 70% after PAC treatment at the nano-length scale, while increased values were found at the micro-length scale (~0.24) compared to the control (0.18 ; p < .001). An increase in amide band intensities and a decrease of complex moduli was observed after storage in simulated body fluid for both Trimer-C and Trimer-EC modified dentin. The stereochemical configuration of the terminal monomeric units, C and EC, did not impact the chemo-mechanical stability of dentin matrix.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Collagen fibrils from carious dentin matrix are prone to enzymatic degradation. This study investigates the feasibility and mechanism of nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), as a collagen crosslinker, to bio-modify the demineralized dentin matrix. METHODS The physicochemical properties of the crosslinked dentin matrix were characterized by swelling ratio, ninhydrin assay, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. The collagenase degradation resistance was evaluated by measuring loss of dry mass, hydroproline release, loss of elasticity, and micro-nano structure integrity. The cytotoxicity of NDGA-crosslinked dentin collagen was evaluated by flow cytometry. RESULTS NDGA crosslinked dentin matrix without destroying the integrity of collagen. Mechanistically, NDGA formed bisquinone bond between two adjacent o-quinone groups, resulting in NDGA polymeric matrix in which collagen fibrils were embedded. NDGA modification could significantly enhance the stiffness of dentin matrix at macro-nano scale. The NDGA-crosslinked dentin matrix exhibited remarkably low collagen degradation and sustained bulk elasticity after collagenase challenge, which were attributed to decreased water content, physical masking of collagenase bind sites on collagen, and improved stiffness of collagen fibrils. Notably, NDGA-crosslinked dentin matrix exhibited excellent biocompatibility. CONCLUSION NDGA, as a biocompatible collagen crosslinker, improves the mechanical properties and biodegradation resistance of demineralized dentin matrix.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease, affecting 32.5 million US adults or 242 million people worldwide. There is no cure for OA. Many animal and clinical trials showed that oral administration of undenatured type II collagen could significantly reduce the incidence of OA or alleviate the symptoms of articular cartilage. Type II collagen is an important component of cartilage matrix. This article reviewed research progress of undenatured type II collagen including its methods of extraction and preparation, structure and characterization, solubility, thermal stability, gastrointestinal digestive stability, its role in improving OA, and the mechanism of its action in improving OA. Type II collagen has been extensively explored for its potential in improving arthritis. Methods of extraction of type II collagen are inefficient and tedious. The method of limited enzymatic hydrolysis is mainly used to prepare soluble undenatured type II collagen (SC II). The solubility, thermal and gastrointestinal digestive stability of SC II are affected by the sources of raw material, pH, salt ions, and temperature. Oral administration of undenatured type II collagen improves OA, whereas its activity is affected by the sources, degree of denaturalization, intervention methods and doses. However, the influence of the structure of undenatured type II collagen on its activity and the mechanism are unclear. The findings in this review support that undenatured type II collagen can be used in the intervention or auxiliary intervention of patients with OA.

Abstract
AIMS Chitosan-based biomaterials exhibit several properties of biological interest for endodontic treatment. Herein, a low molecular weight chitosan (CH) solution was tested for its antimicrobial activity against Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) and effects on dentine structure. METHODOLOGY The root canal of 27 extracted uniradicular teeth were biomechanically prepared, inoculated with a suspension of E. faecalis and randomly assigned to be irrigated with either 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), 0.2% CH or sterile ultrapure water (W). Bacteriologic samples were collected from root canals and quantified for of E. faecalis colony-forming units (CFUs). The effectiveness of CH over E. faecalis biofilms was further measured using the MBEC Assay®. Additionally, dentine beams and dentine powder were obtained, respectively, from crowns and roots of 20 extracted third molars. Dentine samples were treated or not with 17% EDTA and immersed in either CH or W for 1 min. The effects of CH on dentine structure were evaluated by assessment of the modulus of elasticity, endogenous proteolytic activity and biochemical modifications. RESULTS The number of E. faecalis CFUs was significantly lower for samples irrigated with CH and NaClO. No significant differences were found between CH and NaClO treatments. Higher modulus of elasticity and lower proteolytic activity were reported for dentine CH-treated specimens. Chemical interaction between CH and dentine was observed for samples treated or not with EDTA. CONCLUSIONS Present findings suggest that CH could be used as an irrigant during root canal treatment with the triple benefit of reducing bacterial activity, mechanically reinforcing dentine and inhibiting dentine proteolytic activity.

Purpose To evaluate the effects of dentin pretreatment with chitosan-loaded oleuropein nanoparticles (CONPs) on the durability of resin-dentin bonding interfaces. Methods Eighty freshly extracted non-carious human third molars were randomly divided into four groups (n = 20 each): a de-ionized water (DW) group, a chitosan (CS) group, a chlorhexidine (CHX) group and a CONP group. The dentin in the DW, CS, CHX, and CONP groups were pretreated with de-ionized water, 1.0 mg/L CS solution, 2% chlorhexidine solution, and CONP suspension (prepared with 100 mg/L oleuropein), respectively, followed by the universal adhesive and resin composites. The bonded teeth of each group were randomly divided into two subgroups: an immediate subgroup and an aged subgroup. The bonded teeth of each group were then cut into the bonded beams. We measured their microtensile bond strength (μTBS), observed the characteristics of bonding interface by atomic force microscope, calculated the percentage of silver particles in a selected area for interfacial nanoleakage analysis, and evaluated the endogenous gelatinase activity within the bonding interface for in-situ zymogram analysis. Data were analyzed with two-way ANOVA and LSD multiple comparison test (P < 0.05). Results Regardless of after 24 h or after thermocycling, CONP exhibited better μTBS (P < 0.05) than the other three groups except that there was not a statistical significance (P > 0.05) in the CONP and CHX groups after 24 h. Besides, the CONP group presented significantly higher modulus of elasticity in the hybrid layers (P < 0.05), lower expression of nanoleakage (P < 0.05), and better inhibitory effect of matrix metalloproteinases than the other three groups before and after thermocycling. Conclusion Altogether, the CONPs had the potential to act as a dentin primer, which could effectively improve the dentin-resin binding durability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The integrity and stability of collagen are crucial for the dentin structure and bonding strength at dentin-resin interface. Natural plant-derived polypehenols have been used as collagen crosslinkers. OBJECTIVE The aims of the study were to develop novel chitosan oleuropein nanoparticles (CS-OL-NPs), and to investigate the CS-OL-NPs treated dentin's the resistance to enzymatic degradation and mechanic property. METHODS CS-OL-NPs were developed using the ionotropic gelation method. Release and biocompatibility of the CS-OL-NPs were tested. Twenty demineralized dentin collage specimens were randomized into four interventions groups: A, Deionized Water (DW); B, 5% glutaraldehyde solution (GA); C, 1 mg/ml chitosan (CS); and D, 100 mg/L CS-OL-NPs. After 1-min interventions, dentin matrix were evaluated by the micro-Raman spectroscopy for the modulus of elasticity test. Collagen degradation was assessed using hydroxyproline (HYP) assay. RESULTS CS-OL-NPs were spherical core-shape with a size of 161.29 ± 8.19 nm and Zeta potential of 19.53 ± 0.26 mV. After a burst release of oleuropein in the initial 6 h, there was a long-lasting steady slow release. CS-OL-NPs showed a good biocompatibility for the hPDLSCs. The modulus of elasticity in the crosslinked groups were significantly higher than that in the control group (P< 0.05 for all). The specimens treated with CS-OL-NP showed a greater modulus of elasticity than those treated with GA and CS (P< 0.05 for both). The release of HYP in the crosslinked group was significantly lower than that in the non-crosslinked groups (P< 0.05 for all). CONCLUSION CS-OL-NPs enhanced the dentin mechanical property and resistance to biodegradation, with biocompatibility and potential for clinical application.

Abstract
Dentin biomodification is a promising approach to enhance dental tissue biomechanics and biostability for restorative and reparative therapies. One of the most active dentin tissue biomodifiers is proanthocyanidin (PAC)-rich natural extracts, which are used in the dental bonding procedure in combination with resin-based adhesives (RBAs). This study aimed to investigate the use of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) for the sustained delivery of PACs for dentin biomodification as a novel drug-delivery system for dental applications. The effects of the incorporation of MSN functionalized with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and loaded with PAC into an experimental RBA were assessed by characterizing the material mechanical properties. In addition, the immediate and long-term bonding performance of an experimental resin-based primer (RBP) containing MSN-APTES loaded with PAC was also evaluated. For that, different formulations of RBA and RBP were prepared containing 20% w/v MSN-APTES loaded with PAC before or after functionalization (MSN-PAC-APTES and MSN-APTES-PAC, respectively). The incorporation of MSN-APTES-PAC did not negatively impact the degree of conversion or the overall mechanical properties of the RBA. However, adding MSN-PAC-APTES resulted in inferior mechanical properties of the experimental RBA. In the adhesion studies, APTES-functionalized MSN was successfully added to an experimental RBP for drug-delivery purposes without compromising the bond strength to the dentin or the failure mode. Interestingly, the sequence of surface functionalization with APTES resulted in differences in the bonding performance, with better long-term results for RBP containing MSN loaded with PAC after functionalization.

Chitosan-Based Gastric Dressing Materials Loaded with Pomegranate Peel as Bioactive Agents: Pharmacokinetics and Effects on Experimentally Induced Gastric Ulcers in Rabbits. Metabolites 2022; 12:metabo12121158. [PMID: 36557196 PMCID: PMC9784949 DOI: 10.3390/metabo12121158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2022] [Revised: 11/07/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
This study reported the fabrication and characterization of gastric dressing, composed of gelatine (GEL), chitosan (CH), and pomegranate peel (PP) extract. The structural changes occurring after γ-irradiation of GEL−CH−PP dressing were reported. The results showed that the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy of un-irradiated GEL−CH−PP showed two paramagnetic centers, which corresponded to g = 2.19 and g = 2.002. After irradiation, a new active centre appeared at g = 2.0035 at 10 kGy. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses revealed an increase in peak intensity at C−H chains, as well as the C=O carboxyl groups at 10 kGy, due to the cross-linking phenomenon. The X-ray diffraction analysis showed a low change of crystallinity between the range of 2θ (15−30°). Moreover, γ-rays enhanced scavenging DPPH radical activity (51±%) and chelating power activities 79.12%. A significant inhibition of antibacterial and anti-biofilm activities (p < 0.01) was noticed. The hemolysis rates showed 0.42%, suggesting a high hemocompatibility, and exhibited significant anti-inflammatory activity in vitro (48%). In vivo, the healing effects of GEL−CH−PP dressing showed that the incidence and severity of gastric histopathological lesions decreased, compared with the ulcerated group, which could explain the bioavailability and the pharmacokinetic findings. The results highlight the loading of bioactive agents into polymer-based gastric dressings, with promising pharmacokinetics properties and effects on the induced ulcera in rabbits.

Abstract
Decellularization is a promising technique to produce natural scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. However, non-crosslinked natural scaffolds disfavor application in cardiovascular surgery due to poor biomechanics and rapid degradation. Herein, we proposed a green strategy to crosslink and functionalize acellular scaffolds via the self-assembly of copper@tea polyphenol nanoparticles (Cu@TP NPs), and the resultant nanocomposite acellular scaffolds were named as Cu@TP-dBPs. The crosslinking degree, biomechanics, denaturation temperature and resistance to enzymatic degradation of Cu@TP-dBPs were comparable to those of glutaraldehyde crosslinked decellularized bovine pericardias (Glut-dBPs). Furthermore, Cu@TP-dBPs were biocompatible and had abilities to inhibit bacterial growth and promote the formation of capillary-like networks. Subcutaneous implantation models demonstrated that Cu@TP-dBPs were free of calcification and allowed for host cell infiltration at Day 21. Cardiac patch graft models confirmed that Cu@TP-dBP patches showed improved ingrowth of functional blood vessels and remodeling of extracellular matrix at Day 60. These results suggested that Cu@TP-dBPs not only had comparable biomechanics and biostability to Glut-dBPs, but also had several advantages over Glut-dBPs in terms of anticalcification, remodeling and integration capabilities. Particularly, they were functional patches possessing antibacterial and proangiogenic activities. These material properties and biological functions made Cu@TP-dBPs a promising functional acellular patch for cardiovascular applications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess dentin collagen denaturation from phosphoric acid and enzyme treatments using collagen hybridizing peptide (CHP) and to investigate the effect of collagen denaturation on bio-stabilization promoted by proanthocyanidins (PA). METHODS Human molars were sectioned into 7-µm-thick dentin films, demineralized, and assigned to six groups: control with/without PA modification, H3PO4-treated collagen with/without PA modification, enzyme-treated collagen with/without PA modification. PA modification involved immersing collagen films in 0.65% PA for 30 s. H3PO4 and enzyme treatments were used to experimentally induce collagen denaturation, which was quantitated by fluorescence intensity (FI) from the fluorescently-conjugated-CHP (F-CHP) staining (n = 4). FTIR was used to characterize collagen structures. All groups were subject to collagenase digestion to test the bio-stabilization effect of PA on denatured collagen using weight loss analysis and hydroxyproline assay (n = 6). Data were analyzed using two-factor ANOVA and Games-Howell post hoc tests (α = 0.05). RESULTS FTIR showed collagen secondary structural changes after denaturation treatments and confirmed the incorporation and cross-linking of PA in control and treated collagen. F-CHP staining indicated high-degree, medium-degree, and low-degree collagen denaturation from H3PO4-treatment (FI = 83.22), enzyme-treatment (FI = 36.54), and control (FI = 6.01) respectively. PA modification significantly reduced the weight loss and hydroxyproline release of all groups after digestion (p < 0.0001), with the results correlated with FI values at r = 0.96-0.98. SIGNIFICANCE A molecular method CHP is introduced as a sensitive technique to quantitate dentin collagen denaturation for the first time. PA modification is shown to effectively stabilize denatured collagen against collagenase digestion, with the stabilization effect negatively associated with the collagen denaturation degree.

Abstract
This study investigated whether treatment with plant-based polyphenols (PB-P) affected the biochemical and/or biomechanical properties of dentin extracellular matrix (ECM). Three PB-Ps were evaluated: luteolin (LT), galangin (GL), and proanthocyanidin (PAC). Because dentin ECM requires demineralization before treatment, this study also assessed the effect of these PB-Ps on dentin demineralized by two different chemicals. Dentin samples from extracted third molars were obtained, sectioned, and randomly assigned for demineralization with either phosphoric acid (PA) or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Following demineralization, baseline infrared (IR) spectra and apparent elastic modulus (AE) of each specimen were independently acquired. Based upon these initial tests, samples were randomly assigned to one of the PB-P treatments to ensure that distribution of baseline AE was similar across treatment groups. IR and AE specimens were individually immersed in either 0.2% LT, 0.4% GL or 1% PAC for 2 min. IR spectra of treated samples were compared to baseline IR spectra, looking for any interaction of PB-Ps with the demineralized dentin. The IR spectrum and AE of each PB-P-treated specimen were compared with their own correspondent baseline measurement. The ability of PB-Ps to inhibit proteolytic activity of dentin ECM was assessed by the hydroxyproline assay. Finally, the effect of PB-Ps on immediate bond strength of a dental adhesive to PA- or EDTA-etched dentin was also evaluated. PB-Ps exhibited distinctively binding affinity to dentin ECM and promoted significant increase in AE. PB-P treatment reduced the degradation rate of dentin ECM without causing detrimental effect on immediate bond strength to dentin. Our work represents the first-time that LT and GL have been assessed as dentin ECM biomodifiers.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) bioink plays a vital role in the construction of tissues and organs by 3D bioprinting. Collagen has outstanding biocompatibility and is widely used in the field of tissue engineering. However, due to poor mechanical properties and slow self-assembly, it is challenging to manufacture high-precision 3D bioprinted collagen scaffolds. Herein, a novel digital light processing (DLP) bioink which can satisfy the printing of complex structures has been developed. This photocurable bioink is based on collagen and supplemented with a small amount of procyanidins (PA) as a cross-linking agent. The low concentration of collagen gives the bioink good fluidity and excellent biocompatibility, and a small amount of PA increases the cross-linking density of the system to obtain better mechanical properties. Using commercial digital light processing (DLP) printers, this collagen-based ink can effectively print structures with micrometer resolution, and the fidelity of the 3D structures can reach above 90%. Cells were able to be loaded in the bioink and distributed uniformly in the collagen scaffold in an unscathed way. This photocurable collagen bioink has broad application potential in DLP 3D bioprinting.

To investigate the ability of theaflavins (TF) from black tea to protect dentin collagen against enzymatic degradation via cross-linking effect under clinically relevant conditions. 10-µm-thick dentin films were microtomed from dentin slabs of human molars. Following demineralization, films or slabs were treated with TF at two concentrations (0.4% and 2%) for 30 s. A well-known collagen cross-linker grape seed proanthocyanidins (PA) was used as control. Collagen cross-linking interactions and stabilization against enzymatic degradation were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, weight loss, hydroxyproline release, and scanning/transmission electron microscopy. Data were analyzed by ANOVA, Tukey’s and Student’s T test (α = 0.05%). The results showed collagen cross-linking and stabilization efficacy was dependent on TF/PA concentrations. At 2.0%, TF and PA offered nearly full protection to collagen; at 0.4%, TF exhibited a significantly better collagen stabilization effect than PA (P < 0.05), while untreated collagen was completely digested. It’s concluded that TF cross-links dentin collagen within a clinically relevant time (30 s) and offers excellent collagen protection against enzymatic degradation, with efficacy comparable to or better than PA. The study supports the potential use of TF as a novel, promising collagen cross-linker for degradation resistant, long-lasting dentin bonding in composite restorations.

Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22168852. [PMID: 34445554 PMCID: PMC8396363 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22168852] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2021] [Revised: 08/11/2021] [Accepted: 08/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of chitosan polymer on dentinal enzymatic activity by means of gelatin and in situ zymography. Human dentin was frozen and ground in a miller. Dentin powder aliquots were demineralized with phosphoric acid and treated with three different concentrations of lyophilized chitosan polymer (1, 0.5 and 0.1 wt%) dissolved in distilled water. Dentin proteins were extracted from each experimental group and electrophoresed under non-reducing conditions in 10% SDS-PAGE containing fluorescein-labeled gelatin. After 48 h in the incubation buffer at 37 °C, proteolytic activity was registered under long-wave UV light scanner and quantified by using Image J software. Furthermore, additional teeth (n = 4) were prepared for the in situ zymographic analysis in unrestored as well as restored dentin pretreated with the same chitosan primers. The registered enzymatic activity was directly proportional to the chitosan concentration and higher in the restored dentin groups (p < 0.05), except for the 0.1% chitosan primer. Chitosan 0.1% only showed faint expression of enzymatic activity compared to 1% and 0.5% concentrations. Chitosan 0.1% dissolved in water can produce significant reduction in MMPs activity and could possibly contribute to bond strength preservation over time.

Abstract
The efficacy of implanted polypropylene (PP) hernia meshes is often compromised by an inflammatory response. Thus, engineering an anti-inflammatory mesh has significant implications for hernioplasty. Here, we report a facile strategy to develop a filament-anchored hydrogel layer (FAHL) on PP mesh (FAHL-P). The network of FAHL, made up of chondroitin sulfate and gelatin (CG), provided a biomimetic surface with immunoregulatory properties. The use of tannic acid (TA) as a crosslinker for CG additionally enhanced its anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, the fabrication protocol ensured that the hydrogel maintained the properties of the knitted mesh and the firmly adherent FAHL during general handling (dry state) and in the simulated body environment (wet state). CG/TA-PP killed 99.99% of S. aureus and retained 73% of its original antioxidant properties after 7 d. The FAHL durably performed with a controlled release of TA for 15 d. The strong anti-inflammatory effects of FAHL-P reduced collagen deposition and increased vascularization, which promoted native tissue generation. The fabrication strategy has potential applications in hernioplasty and may provide new insights into the design of other anti-inflammatory implants. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: A hydrogel layer with robust anti-inflammatory effects was anchored firmly on mesh filament for hernia repair. Requiring no drug loading, this chondroitin sulphate -gelatin (CG) based hydrogel itself could inhibit the immunological attack owing to the biomimetic microenvironment created by the CG. Moreover, the hydrogel's crosslinker (tannic acid) content served as an effective scavenger for reducing pro-inflammatory factors, significantly mitigating the inflammation. Interestingly, the antibacterial effect of such hydrogel layer was also observed. In terms of the synergistic outcome of the design, our mesh can remarkably attenuate inflammation and promote constructive tissue regeneration in vivo. Furthermore, considering the relatively simple and easily scaled up formulation process, our strategy may indeed have great potential in alleviating post-implantation outcomes.

Abstract
Improving the longevity of composite restorations has proven to be difficult when they are bonded to dentin. Dentin demineralization leaves collagen fibrils susceptible to enzymatic digestion, which causes breakdown of the resin-dentin interface. Therefore, measures for counteracting the enzymatic environment by enhancing dentin collagen's resistance to degradation have the potential to improve the durability of dental composite restorations. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of polyphenol-rich extracts and a chemical cross-linker on the cross-linking interaction, resistance to digestion, and endogenous matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activities of dentin collagen under clinically relevant conditions. Ten-µm-thick films were cut from dentin slabs of non-carious extracted human third molars. Following demineralization, polyphenol-rich extracts-including grape seed (GSE), green tea (GTE), and cranberry juice (CJE)-or chemical cross-linker carbodiimide with n-hydroxysuccinimide (EDC/NHS) were applied to the demineralized dentin surfaces for 30 s. The collagen cross-linking, bio-stabilization, and gelatinolytic activities of MMPs 2 and 9 were studied by using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, weight loss, hydroxyproline release, scanning/transmission electron microscopy, and in situ zymography. All treatments significantly increased resistance to collagenase degradation and reduced the gelatinolytic MMP activity of dentin collagen compared to the untreated control. The CJE- and GSE-treated groups were more resistant to digestion than the GTE- or EDC/NHS-treated ones (p < 0.05), which was consistent with the cross-linking interaction found with FTIR and the in situ performance on the acid-etched dentin surface found with SEM/TEM. The collagen films treated with CJE showed the lowest MMP activity, followed by GSE, GTE, and, finally, EDC/NHS. The CJE-treated dentin collagen rapidly increased its resistance to digestion and MMP inhibition. An application of CJE as short as 30 s may be a clinically feasible approach to improving the longevity of dentin bonding in composite restorations.

Abstract
Carbodiimide (EDC)-based dentin primers preserve hybrid layer (HL) integrity. However, aging >1 y has not been investigated. The present study examined whether the cross-linking effect of EDC was reflected in dentin bond strength, endogenous enzymatic activity, and the chemical profile of the HL after 5-y aging in artificial saliva. Noncarious human third molars (N = 42) were cut to expose middle/deep coronal dentin and treated as follows: group 1, dentin etched with 35% H3PO4, pretreated with a 0.3M aqueous EDC primer for 1 min and restored with XP Bond (Dentsply Sirona); group 2, as in group 1 but without EDC pretreatment; group 3, Clearfil SE Bond (Kuraray-Noritake) primer applied to dentin surface, followed by EDC pretreatment as in group 1 and application of bond; group 4, as in group 3 without EDC pretreatment. After composite buildup, the specimens were cut into sticks or slabs, depending on the experiment. All tests were performed at baseline (T0) and after 5 y of aging (T5) in artificial saliva at 37 °C. Microtensile bond strength (µTBS) was tested at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min until failure. Endogenous enzymatic activity was investigated with in situ zymography. The chemical profile of HL was determined via Raman spectroscopy. Three-way analysis of variance and post hoc Tukey test were used to analyze µTBS and in situ zymography data (α = 0.05). EDC pretreatment and aging significantly influenced µTBS and in situ zymography results (P < 0.05). Higher bond strength and lower gelatinolytic activity were identified in the EDC-treated groups at T5 (P < 0.05), especially in the etch-and-rinse groups. Raman spectra revealed less defined amide III peaks in control specimens at T5. The EDC cross-linking effect persisted in the HL for 5 y in terms of bond strength, collagen structure preservation, and dentinal enzyme silencing.

Methacrylate-functionalized proanthocyanidins as novel polymerizable collagen cross-linkers - Part 1: Efficacy in dentin collagen bio-stabilization and cross-linking. Dent Mater 2021; 37:1183-1192. [PMID: 33994202 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2021.04.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2020] [Revised: 04/05/2021] [Accepted: 04/24/2021] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of methacrylate-functionalized proanthocyanidins (MAPAs) on dentin collagen's bio-stabilization against enzymatic degradation and crosslinking capability. METHODS Three MAPAs were synthesized via varying methacrylate (MA) to proanthocyanidins (PA) feeding ratios of 1:2, 1:1, and 2:1 to obtain MAPA-1, MAPA-2, and MAPA-3, respectively. The three MAPAs were structurally characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic methods. 5-μm-thick dentin films were microtomed from dentin slabs of third molars. Following demineralization, films or slabs were treated with 1% MAPAs or PA in ethanol for 30 s. Collagen bio-stabilization against enzymatic degradation was analyzed by weight loss (WL) and hydroxyproline release (HYP) of films, as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) on dentin slabs. Crosslinking capacity and interactions of MAPAs with collagen were investigated by FTIR. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey's test (α = 0.05%). RESULTS MA:PA feeding ratios affected MAPAs' chemical structures which in turn led to different collagen stabilization efficacy against degradation and varied collagen crosslinking capabilities. Higher collagen stabilization efficacy was detected using MAPA-1 (WL 10.52%; HYP 13.53 μg/mg) and MAPA-2 (WL 5.99%; HYP 11.02 μg/mg), which was comparable to that using PA (WL 8.79%; HYP 13.17 μg/mg) (p > 0.05), while a lower collagen stability occurred in MAPA-3 (WL 38.48%; HYP 29.49 μg/mg), indicating excessive MA-functionalization would compromise its stabilization efficacy. In comparison, complete digestion was detected for untreated collagen (WL 100%; HYP 102.76 μg/mg). The above results were consistent with collagen crosslinking efficacy of the three MAPAs revealed by SEM and FTIR. SIGNIFICANCE A new class of novel polymerizable collagen cross-linkers MAPAs was synthesized and shown that, when appropriate MA:PA ratios were applied, the resulting MAPAs could render high collagen stability and the ability to copolymerize with resin monomers, overcoming the drawbacks of PA. These new polymerizable crosslinkers, when included in adhesives, could lead to long-lasting dentin bonding.

Abstract
In this study scaffolds of nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) and anionic collagen (C) combined with plant extracts intended for bone tissue repair were developed. Grape seed (P), pomegranate peel (R) and jabuticaba peel (J) extracts were used as collagen crosslinker agents in order to improve the materials properties. All crude extracts were effective against Staphylococcus aureus, but only for CR scaffold inhibition zone was noticed. The extracts acted as crosslinking agents, increasing enzymatic resistance and thermal stability of collagen. The extracts showed cytotoxicity at the concentrations tested, while nHA increased cell viability. The scaffolds presented porosity and pore size appropriate for bone growth. CR, CnHAP, CnHAR and CnHAJ increased the cell viability after 24 h. The combination of collagen, nHA and plant extracts offers a promising strategy to design novel biomaterials for bone tissue regeneration.

Is it possible for a simultaneous biomodification during acid etching on naturally caries-affected dentin bonding? Clin Oral Investig 2020; 25:3543-3553.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study investigated the ability of modified phosphoric acids containing chlorhexidine (CHX) or grape seed extract (GSE) for promoting simultaneous biomodification during acid etching on bonding properties in caries-affected dentin (CAD). MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-two human molars (8 with sound dentin [SD] and 24 naturally CAD) were selected for the study. The SD and CAD were initially exposed, then randomized and etched according to the following groups: (1) SD (SD-CT) and CAD (CAD-CT) both with 37% phosphoric acid, (2) CAD with 2% CHX containing 37% phosphoric acid (CAD-CHX), and (3) CAD with 2% GSE containing 10% phosphoric acid (CAD-GSE). The bonding procedure and composite build-ups were performed after acid etching. Subsequently, they were sectioned in resin-dentin specimens. The specimens were submitted for chemical profiling by micro-Raman, microtensile bond strength (μTBS), failure mode with chemical characterization by FEG/SEM-EDX, and in situ zymography by CLSM. The data from μTBS and CLSM were statistically analyzed (1-way ANOVA and Tukey's test; α = 0.05). RESULTS The highest μTBS results were shown for SD-CT in comparison with all CAD groups (p < 0.001), and the lowest for CAD-CT and CAD-CHX (p < 0.001). The etching with CHX did not increase the μTBS for CAD when compared with CT (p = 0.52). However, the etching with GSE improved significantly the μTBS for CAD when compared with CT and CHX (p < 0.001). The chemical profile detected chemical and structural changes in collagen peaks for CAD-CT, which were not detected when the CAD was etched by modified acids. Also, the poorest hybridization ability was detected in CAD for CT, which was significantly improved with modified acids, especially the GSE, as evaluated by chemical profile and failure mode. A significant reduction of MMP activity on CAD was promoted by modified acids in comparison with CT (both p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The GSE-containing acid was able to promote biomodification during the acid etching, increasing the bonding properties and reducing the activity of the MMPs within the hybrid layer. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The use of GSE-containing phosphoric acid can be a promising alternative to improve the bonding performance on caries-affected dentin, since it is capable of biomodifying the dentin during the acid etching, without adding any extra step in bonding procedures.

Abstract
Sodium dodecyl sulfonate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), circular dichroism spectroscopy (CD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) were used to analyze the structural properties and gastrointestinal digestive characteristics of natural insoluble undenatured type II collagen (IC II) and pepsin soluble undenatured type II collagen (SC II). Results showed that, after gastric digestion, especially under low pH conditions, some thick and short collagen fibers were dissolved from IC II, which was accompanied by the release of soluble protein with triple helix structure. As to SC II, when gastric digestion was performed under higher pH conditions, collagen fibers were mildly thinned and curved, and the triple helix structure was slightly destroyed. However, those changes hardly occurred during the intestinal digestion. Moreover, the undenatured type II collagen existing in SC II digestive supernatant was 1.2-12.4 times higher than that of IC II depending on the pH conditions. These results suggested that, it is more likely for SC II to exert its activity of relieving arthritis, and it should be taken when the pH of gastric environment is high.

Dent Mater 2020; 36:1536-1543. [PMID: 33129510 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2020.09.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2020] [Revised: 07/07/2020] [Accepted: 09/10/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop a protocol for assessment of the bulk viscoelastic behavior of dentin extracellular matrix (ECM), and to assess relationships between induced collagen cross-linking and viscoelasticity of the dentin ECM. METHODS Dentin ECM was treated with agents to induce exogenous collagen cross-linking: proanthocyanidins (PACs) from Vitis vinifera - VVe, PACs from Pinus massoniana - PMe, glutaraldehyde - (GA), or kept untreated (control). A dynamic mechanical strain sweep method was carried out in a 3-point bending submersion clamp at treatment; after protein destabilization with 4 M urea and after 7-day, 6-month, and 12-month incubation in simulated body fluid. Tan δ, storage (E'), loss (E"), and complex moduli (E*) were calculated and data were statistically analyzed using two-way ANOVA and post-hoc tests (α = 0.05). Chemical analysis of dentin ECM before and after protein destabilization was assessed with ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. RESULTS Significant interactions between study factors (treatment vs. time points, p < 0.001) were found for all viscoelastic parameters. Despite a significant decrease in all moduli after destabilization, PAC-treated dentin remained statistically higher than control (p < 0.001), indicating permanent mechanical enhancement after biomodification. Covalently crosslinked, GA-treated dentin was unaffected by destabilization (p = 0.873) and showed the lowest damping capacity (tan δ) at all time points (p < 0.001). After 12 months, the damping capacity of PMe and VVe groups decreased significantly. Changes in all amide IR resonances revealed a partial chemical reversal of PAC-mediated biomodification. SIGNIFICANCE Viscoelastic measurements and IR spectroscopy aid in elucidating the role of inter-molecular collagen cross-linking in the mechanical behavior of dentin ECM.

Abstract
A composite catalyst, Pd/C-SO3H, has been prepared to depolymerize plant-derived polymeric proanthocyanidins (PPC). Different reaction conditions were explored and the catalyst was shown to have good performance and recyclability, as well as good thermal and acid–base stability. UV, FTIR and 1H NMR analyses showed that the depolymerization products (oligomeric proanthocyanidins, OPC) retained a condensed flavanol polyphenol structure and that the basic structural units of the polymers had not been destroyed. The antioxidant activity of the OPC was better than that of the PPC, and also better than that of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol, which is widely used in industry, including as a food additive. OPC could, therefore, be developed as a commercially useful radical chain-breaking antioxidant. The preparation of Pd/C-SO3H provides an example of the design and development of a new composite catalyst that has high practical value. The study also provides a new technical route for the depolymerization of PPC and thus makes a useful contribution to the high-value utilization of renewable plant resources. A composite catalyst, Pd/C-SO3H, has been prepared to depolymerize plant-derived polymeric proanthocyanidins (PPC).![]()

J Dent 2020; 99:103354. [PMID: 32360320 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2020.103354] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2019] [Revised: 04/22/2020] [Accepted: 04/23/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Proanthocyanidins (PACs) are biocompounds mimicking native collagen cross-links. The effective and practical delivery of any biocompound is pivotal for clinical usage. The aim was to investigate the dentin biomodification and effective formation of dentin-resin biointerfaces of two highly bioactive PAC-rich extracts, Vitis vinifera (Vv) and Camellia sinensis (Cs), delivered using neutral (NP) or acidic (AP) rinse-out primer approaches. METHODS The depth of dentin demineralization (optical profilometry), dentin biomodification (apparent modulus of elasticity, collagen auto-fluorescence) and properties of dentin-resin interfaces (microtensile bond strength - μTBS, and micro-permeability) were investigated. NP consisted of either 15% Vv or Cs applied for 60 s after surface etching; while AP contained 15% Vv or Cs in either 35% glycolic acid or tartaric acid applied for 30 s or 60 s. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and post-hoc tests (α = 0.05). RESULTS The depth of demineralization was statistically higher when applied for 60 s, regardless of rinse-out primer approach (p < 0.001). Compared to the AP strategy, NP exhibited statistically higher apparent modulus of elasticity, regardless of PAC extract (p < 0.001). Highest μTBS were obtained for NPVv, which were statistically similar to APGAVv, when applied for 60 s (p < 0.001); both resulted in a dramatic decrease of the interfacial permeability. NPCs group showed the lowest μTBS (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS A combination of high bond strength and low micro-permeability can be accomplished using glycolic acid with the mid- and high-PAC oligomer enriched extract (Vv). Cs extract containing mostly catechins and dimeric PACs, was found unsuitable for resin-dentin adhesion despite exhibiting high initial dentin biomodification. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE This study provides a new conceptual delivery of PAC-mediated dentin biomodification and conservative dentin surface etching using rinse-out primers. The strategy requires a specific combination of PAC source, α-hydroxy acid, and application time.

Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this research was to compare relative effectiveness of sodium hypochlorite 5.25% (NaOCl), 2% chlorhexidine gel (CHX) and 6.5 % grape seed extract (GSE) against Enterococcus faecalis using instrument Reciproc R25 in root canal preparation. Methods: Forty-five mesiobuccal root canals from extracted human maxillary molars were collected and infected with Enterococcus faecalis. The samples were divided into five groups according to the different types of irrigants: saline (positive control) (n=5); in the other groups were used 10 root canals for each group: NaOCl+EDTA; CHX gel+EDTA; GSE solution+EDTA; GSE gel+EDTA. All the groups were prepared with reciprocating instruments Reciproc R25. Bacterial reduction was measured by two-way ANOVA (P<0.001) followed by Tukey HSD post-hoc tests, from the counting of colony forming units (CFUs) from samples collected before instrumentation and after. The significance level established at 5% (P<0.05). Results: The group prepared with the NaOCl resulted in highest antimicrobial capacity among of all (P>0.05), followed by CHX and GSE gel (P<0.05). Control and GSE solution showed similar results (P<0.05) and resulted in the lowest percentage of the reduction of the microorganism into the root canals. Conclusion: NaOCl had the higher elimination capacity of Enterococcus faecalis than GSE and CHX.

Abstract
This study evaluated the antimicrobial effectiveness of 6.5% Vitis vinifera grape seed extract (GSE) against Enterococcus faecalis biofilm using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Saline solution (SS), 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and 2% chlorhexidine (CHX) were used for comparison. Dentin discs were inoculated with E. faecalis strain establishing a 3-week-old biofilm. Discs (n = 10) were exposed to 5.25% NaOCl, 2% CHX, 6.5% GSE and SS (negative control) for 10 min. Discs were stained with the fluorescent LIVE/DEAD-BacLight™ dye and analysed using CLSM. The proportion of dead cells in biofilm was analysed using one-way anova and Tukey tests (P < 0.05). A higher proportion of dead cells was found in GSE group compared with CHX and SS (P < 0.05). NaOCl group was associated with the highest proportion of dead cells (P < 0.05). GSE presented antimicrobial activity against E. faecalis; however, NaOCl was the most effective irrigant solution. GSE was more effective than CHX and SS.

Abstract
The aim was to evaluate the effect of 2% grape seed extract (GSE) containing phosphoric acid (PhA) on the bond strength to enamel and dentin. The control group was 37% PhA. The following three PhA formulations with 2% GSE and 20% ethanol were obtained: GSE5 = 5% PhA; GSE10 = 10% PhA; and GSE20 = 20% PhA. The enamel and dentin surfaces of molars were etched with the acid solutions, followed by Scotchbond Multi-Purpose adhesive and composite resin application. The tensile bond strength (TBS) test evaluated the bond to enamel after 24 h, and the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) test evaluated the bond to dentin after 24 h and 12-month water storage. Etched enamel and dentin were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively. The TBS data were submitted to one-way ANOVA, while µTBS data were submitted to two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α = 0.05). The TBS (MPa) to enamel did not significantly differ among the control (48.1 ± 15.7), GSE5 (46.1 ± 9.6), GSE10 (49.8 ± 13.6) and GSE20 (44.1 ± 11.9) groups (p = 0.537). The µTBS (MPa) to dentin of the control (28.4 ± 14.4) and GSE20 (24.1 ± 8.1) groups were significantly higher than those of the GSE5 (16.8 ± 7.4) and GSE10 (17.5 ± 6.6) groups at 24 h (p < 0.006). After 12-month storage, only GSE5 (21.0 ± 7.8) and GSE10 (17.6 ± 8.0) did not show significantly decreased μTBS (p > 0.145). SEM micrographs showed a shallower enamel etching pattern for GSE5. AFM images showed the formation of collagenous globular structures for GSE5 and GSE10. The different acid solutions did not influence the TBS to enamel, and the µTBS to dentin was stable over time when dentin was etched with GSE5 and GSE10.

Abstract
Skin wound dressings are commonly used to stimulate and enhance skin tissue repair. Even if wounds seem easy to repair for clinicians and to replicate in an in vitro set-up for scientists, chronic wounds remain currently an open challenge in skin tissue engineering for patients with complementary diseases. The seemingly simple process of skin healing hides a heterogenous sequence of events, specific timing, and high level of organization and coordination among the involved cell types. Taken together, all these aspects make wound healing a unique process, but we are not yet able to completely repair the chronic wounds or to reproduce them in vitro with high fidelity. This review highlights the main characteristics and properties of a natural polymer, which is widely used as biomaterial, namely collagen and of its denatured form, gelatin. Available wound dressings based on collagen/gelatin and proposed variants loaded with bioactive compounds derived from plants are presented. Applications of these composite biomaterials are discussed with emphasis on skin wound healing. A perspective on current issues is given in the light of future research. The emerging technologies support the development of innovative dressings based exclusively on natural constituents, either polymeric or bioactive compounds.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The interactivity of proanthocyanidins (PACs) with collagen modulates dentin matrix biomechanics and biostability. Herein, PAC extracts selected based on structural diversity were investigated to determine key PAC features driving sustained effects on dentin matrices over a period of 18months. METHODS The chemical profiles of PAC-rich plant sources, Pinus massoniana (PM), Cinnamomum verum (CV) and Hamamelis virginiana (HV) barks, as well as Vitis vinifera (VV) seeds, were obtained by diol HPLC analysis after partitioning of the extracts between methyl acetate and water. Dentin matrices (n=15) were prepared from human molars to determine the apparent modulus of elasticity over 18months of aging. Susceptibility of the dentin matrix to degradation by endogenous and exogenous proteases was determined by presence of solubilized collagen in supernatant, and resistance to degradation by bacterial collagenase, respectively. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Games-Howell post hoc tests (α=0.05). RESULTS After 18months, dentin matrices modified by PM and CV extracts, containing only non-galloylated PACs, were highly stable mechanically (p<0.05). Dentin matrices treated with CV exhibited the lowest degradation by bacterial collagenase after 1h and 18months of aging (p<0.05), while dentin matrices treated with PM showed the least mass loss and collagen solubilization by endogenous enzymes over time (p<0.05). SIGNIFICANCE Resistance against long-term degradation was observed for all experimental groups; however, the most potent and long-lasting dentin biomodification resulted from non-galloylated PACs.

Abstract
Biomaterials of different nature have been and are widely studied for various biomedical applications. In many cases, biomaterial assemblies are designed to mimic biological systems. Although biomaterials have been thoroughly characterized in many aspects, not much quantitative information on the molecular level interactions between different biomaterials is available. That information is very important, on the one hand, to understand the properties of biological systems and, on the other hand, to develop new composite biomaterials for special applications. This work presents a systematic, quantitative analysis of self- and cross-interactions between films of collagen I (Col I), collagen IV (Col IV), laminin (LN-521), and cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), that is, biomaterials of different nature and structure that either exist in biological systems (e.g., extracellular matrices) or have shown potential for 3D cell culture and tissue engineering. Direct surface forces and adhesion between biomaterials-coated spherical microparticles and flat substrates were measured in phosphate-buffered saline using an atomic force microscope and the colloidal probe technique. Different methods (Langmuir-Schaefer deposition, spin-coating, or adsorption) were applied to completely coat the flat substrates and the spherical microparticles with homogeneous biomaterial films. The adhesion between biomaterials films increased with the time that the films were kept in contact. The strongest adhesion was observed between Col IV films, and between Col IV and LN-521 films after 30 s contact time. In contrast, low adhesion was measured between CNF films, as well as between CNF and LN-521 films. Nevertheless, a good adhesion between CNF and collagen films (especially Col I) was observed. These results increase our understanding of the structure of biological systems and can support the design of new matrices or scaffolds where different biomaterials are combined for diverse biological or medical applications.

Abstract
This study investigated the remineralization effect of experimental mint formulations containing bioactive agents (xylitol; green tea extract, GT; and amorphous calcium phosphate, ACP) in the progression of artificially induced root caries. Root caries lesions were induced by demineralization solution (pH 4.6; 96 h; 37°C). The lesions were treated with mint A, mint B, mint C, xylitol, GT, ACP, or remineralization solution (RS; negative control). Specimens were pH-cycled through treatments (5×/day; 3 min) and 6 cycles of acidic (pH 5.0; 30 min) and neutral (pH 7.0; 10 min) buffers for 8 days. Bacterial collagenase (Clostridium histolyticum) was used overnight to simulate proteolytic challenge. Caries depth and porosity as well as mineral density were estimated using fluorescence microscopy (n = 15) and microcomputed tomography (n = 6). Analysis of variance (ANOVA, α = 0.05) showed no statistically significant difference in caries depth among all groups (p = 0.172). The highest fluorescence intensity decrease was observed for GT followed by mint C, with no significant difference between them (p = 0.868). There were significant differences among GT and mints A, B, and C when compared to RS (p < 0.001). No statistically significant differences in fluorescence intensity were observed among ACP, xylitol, and RS (p > 0.05). The mineral density of the lesions in GT, mints A, B, and C, and ACP was statistically similar (p > 0.05) and significantly higher than that in RS (p < 0.05). No significant difference was observed between xylitol and RS (p = 0.728). The experimental mints showed remineralization action on artificial root caries, and GT was found to be the main active ingredient in the investigated formulations.

Abstract
Single-molecule biophysics has transformed our understanding of biology, but also of the physics of life. More exotic than simple soft matter, biomatter lives far from thermal equilibrium, covering multiple lengths from the nanoscale of single molecules to up to several orders of magnitude higher in cells, tissues and organisms. Biomolecules are often characterized by underlying instability: multiple metastable free energy states exist, separated by levels of just a few multiples of the thermal energy scale k B T, where k B is the Boltzmann constant and T absolute temperature, implying complex inter-conversion kinetics in the relatively hot, wet environment of active biological matter. A key benefit of single-molecule biophysics techniques is their ability to probe heterogeneity of free energy states across a molecular population, too challenging in general for conventional ensemble average approaches. Parallel developments in experimental and computational techniques have catalysed the birth of multiplexed, correlative techniques to tackle previously intractable biological questions. Experimentally, progress has been driven by improvements in sensitivity and speed of detectors, and the stability and efficiency of light sources, probes and microfluidics. We discuss the motivation and requirements for these recent experiments, including the underpinning mathematics. These methods are broadly divided into tools which detect molecules and those which manipulate them. For the former we discuss the progress of super-resolution microscopy, transformative for addressing many longstanding questions in the life sciences, and for the latter we include progress in 'force spectroscopy' techniques that mechanically perturb molecules. We also consider in silico progress of single-molecule computational physics, and how simulation and experimentation may be drawn together to give a more complete understanding. Increasingly, combinatorial techniques are now used, including correlative atomic force microscopy and fluorescence imaging, to probe questions closer to native physiological behaviour. We identify the trade-offs, limitations and applications of these techniques, and discuss exciting new directions.

Effect of synthetic and natural-derived novel endodontic irrigant solutions on mechanical properties of human dentin. JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE. MATERIALS IN MEDICINE 2017; 28:141.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different synthetic and natural-derived root canal irrigants (6% sodium hypochlorite [NaOCl], 6% calcium hypochlorite [Ca(OCl)2] and 6.5% grape seed extract [GSE]) on dentin mechanical properties (flexural strength, ultimate tensile strength [UTS] and fracture resistance). Rectangular-shaped beams and hourglass-shaped sections obtained from mid-coronal and root dentin were treated with 6% NaOCl, 6% Ca(OCl)2 or 6.5% GSE for 30 min. The irrigant solutions were replaced every 5 min. Then, the dentin specimens were rinsed with distilled water (DW) followed by incubation with 17% EDTA for 1 min, and thoroughly rinsed with DW again. Specimens from the control group were tested without prior irrigation. After treatment with the irrigants, dentin beams were used to assess the flexural strength (n = 10) while UTS was evaluated using the root dentin hourglass-shaped sections (n = 10). Similarly, roots with 1 mm of dentinal wall thickness were obtained from human teeth and treated with the same irrigant solutions (n = 10). A compressive loading was applied to the coronal surfaces of roots until fracture. The values of each mechanical test were statistically analyzed individually by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey HSD test (P < 0.05). NaOCl significantly reduced the mechanical properties of dentin in all mechanical tests (P < 0.05) and no statistical difference was found among Ca(OCl)2, GSE and control group (P > 0.05). It can be concluded that Ca(OCl)2 and GSE may be alternative irrigant solutions, since they do not negatively affect the dentin mechanical properties.
