Abstract
With dental implant treatment becoming the gold standard, the need for effective bone augmentation prior to implantation has grown. This study aims to evaluate a bone augmentation strategy integrating three key growth factors: bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Collagen scaffolds incorporating BMP-2, IGF-1, or VEGF were fabricated and categorized into five groups based on their content: scaffold alone; BMP-2 alone (BMP-2); BMP-2 and IGF-1 (BI); BMP-2, IGF-1, and VEGF (BIV); and BMP-2 and IGF-1 with an earlier release of VEGF (BI + V). The prepared scaffolds were surgically implanted into the calvarias of C57BL/6JJcl mice, and hard tissue formation was assessed after 10 and 28 days through histological, tomographic, and biochemical analyses. The combination of BMP-2 and IGF-1 induced a greater volume of hard tissue augmentation compared with that of BMP-2 alone, regardless of VEGF supplementation, and these groups had increased levels of cartilage compared with others. The volume of hard tissue formation was greatest in the BIV group. In contrast, the BI + V group exhibited a hard tissue volume similar to that of the BI group. While VEGF and CD31 levels were highest in the BIV group at 10 days, there was no correlation at the same time point between hard tissue formation and the quantity of M2 macrophages. In conclusion, the simultaneous release of BMP-2, IGF-1, and VEGF proved to be effective in promoting bone augmentation.

RSC Adv 2024; 14:3698-3711. [PMID: 38268551 PMCID: PMC10805130 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra08769g] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 01/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Modifying the drug-release capacity of titanium implants is essential for maintaining their long-term functioning. Titanium dioxide nanotube (TNT) arrays, owing to their drug release capacity, are commonly used in the biomaterial sphere. Their unique half open structure and arrangement in rows increase the drug release capacity. However, their rapid drug release ability not only reduces drug efficiency but also produces excessive local and systemic deposition of antibiotics. In this study, we designed a tantalum-coated TNT system for drug-release optimization. A decreased nanotube size caused by the tantalum nanocoating was observed through SEM and analyzed (TNT: 110 nm, TNT-Ta1: 80 nm, TNT-Ta3: 40 nm, TNT-Ta5: 20 nm, TNT-Ta7: <5 nm). XPS analysis revealed the distribution of the chemical components, especially that of the tantalum element. In vitro experiments showed that the tantalum nanocoating enhanced cell proliferation; in particular, TNT-Ta5 possessed the best cell viability (about 1.18 of TNT groups at 7d). It also showed that the tantalum nanocoating had a positive effect on osteogenesis (especially TNT-Ta5 and TNT-Ta7). Additionally, hydrophilic/hydrophobic drug (vancomycin/raloxifene) release results indicated that the TNT-Ta5 group possessed the most desirable sustained release capacity. Moreover, in this drug release system, the hydrophobic drug showed more sustained release capacity than the hydrophilic drug (vancomycin: sustained release for more than 48 h, raloxifene: sustained release for more than 168 h). More importantly, TNT-Ta5 is proved to be an appropriate drug release system, which possesses cytocompatibility, osteogenic capacity, and sustained drug release capacity.

Abstract
Hydrogel microspheres stand out in drug delivery due to their small particle size, biocompatibility and good internal stability. In this paper, pH-sensitive hydrogels are prepared by microfluidic technology for targeted drug delivery in the small intestine. A coaxial dual-channel microfluidic chip is constructed. By analyzing the effects of flow rates and three fracture stages (Rayleigh-Plateau instability crushing stage, pressure difference crushing stage and shear force crushing stage) on the size of hydrogel microspheres, the optimal control stage of the microsphere size is determined (shear force crushing stage). Based on this, the accurate control model of the hydrogel microsphere size is proposed. In addition, based on the coaxial dual channel microfluidic chip, a monolayer hydrogel microcapsule loaded with Indometacin is prepared. The core-shell hydrogel microcapsules loaded with Indometacin are prepared by an improved coaxial three channel microfluidic chip. The swelling rates of both microcapsules in simulated intestinal fluid are significantly higher than those in simulated gastric fluid. The results of in vitro simulated release experiments show that the two hydrogel microcapsules basically do not release in simulated gastric juice. In simulated intestinal fluid, single-layer hydrogel microcapsules show rapid release, while core-shell hydrogel microcapsules showed slow release. In conclusion, the alginate-based hydrogel microcapsules have good stability and pH sensitivity, and are suitable for targeted drug delivery in the small intestine.

Abstract
Drug synergy has made significant strides in clinical applications in recent decades. However, achieving a platform that enables "single administration, multi-stage release" by emulating the natural physiological processes of the human body poses a formidable challenge in the field of molecular pharmaceutics. Hydrogels, as the novel generation of drug delivery systems, have gained widespread utilization in drug platforms owing to their exceptional biocompatibility and modifiability. Sequential drug delivery hydrogels (SDDHs), which amalgamate the advantages of hydrogel and sequential release platforms, offer a promising solution for effectively navigating the intricate human environment and accomplishing drug sequential release. Inspired by architectural design, this review establishes connections between three pivotal factors in SDDHs construction, namely mechanisms, carrier spatial structure, and stimuli-responsiveness, and three aspects of architectural design, specifically building materials, house structures, and intelligent interactive furniture, aiming at providing insights into recent developments in SDDHs. Furthermore, the dual-drug collocation and cutting-edge hydrogel preparation technologies as well as the prevailing challenges in the field were elucidated.
