Abstract
Sensitive monitoring of luteinizing hormone (LH), a glycoprotein that regulates the synthesis of regulatory steroid hormones, can facilitate the diagnosis of various reproductive diseases. In this work, a new and highly catalytic Sulfur-doped and bimetal-coordinated CoFe(CN)5NO (denoted as S-CoFe(CN)5NO) nanoparticles are synthesized. Such material is further used to construct high performance sensing interface and coupled with primer exchange reaction (PER) and hybridization chain reaction (HCR) amplification cascades for sensitive electrochemical aptamer-based LH assay. Target LH molecules bind aptamer sequences in DNA duplex probes to liberate ssDNA strands, which initiate subsequent PER/HCR amplification cascades for the capture of many ferrocene (Fc)-tagged DNAs on sensing interface. S-CoFe(CN)5NO subsequently leads to catalytic oxidation of these Fc tags for yielding substantially magnified currents for realizing ultrasensitive assay of LH with the detection limit of 0.69 pM in range from 5 pM to 10 nM. Owing to the high specificity of aptamer, such sensor has high selectivity and can achieve low levels of LH assay in diluted serum samples. With the successful demonstration for detecting trace LH, such sensor can be easily extended as a universal aptamer-based electrochemical sensing method for monitoring various target analytes in the biomedical and biological fields.

Abstract
In this study, we evaluated the drug release behavior of diameter customized TiO2 nanotube layers fabricated by anodization with various applied voltage sequences: conventional constant applied potentials of 20 V (45 nm) and 60 V (80 nm), a 20/60 V stepped potential (50 nm [two-diameter]), and a 20-60 V swept potential (49 nm [full-tapered]) (values in parentheses indicate the inner tube diameter at the top part of nanotube layers). The structures of the 50 nm (two-diameter) and 49 nm (full-tapered) samples had smaller inner diameters at the top part of nanotube layers than that of the 80 nm sample, while the outer diameters at the bottom part of nanotube layers were almost the same size as the 80 nm sample. The 80 nm sample, which had the largest nanotube diameter and length, exhibited the greatest burst release, followed by the 50 nm (two-diameter), 49 nm (full-tapered), and 45 nm samples. The initial burst released drug amounts and release rates from the 50 nm (two-diameter) and 49 nm (full-tapered) samples were significantly suppressed by the smaller tube top. On the other hand, the largest proportion of the slow released drug amount to the total released drug amount was observed for the 50 nm (two-diameter) sample. Thus, 50 nm (two-diameter) achieved suppressed initial burst release and large storage capacity. Therefore, this study has, for the first time, applied TiO2 nanotube layers with modulated diameters (two-diameter and full-tapered) to the realization of a localized drug delivery system (LDDS) with customized drug release properties.

Abstract
Nanotechnology profoundly affects the advancement of medicine. Limitations in diagnosing and treating cancer and chronic diseases promote the growth of nanomedicine. However, there are very few analytical and descriptive studies regarding the trajectory of nanomedicine, key research powers, present research landscape, focal investigative points, and future outlooks. Herein, articles and reviews published in the Science Citation Index Expanded of Web of Science Core Collection from first January 2000 to 18th July 2023 are analyzed. Herein, a bibliometric visualization of publication trends, countries/regions, institutions, journals, research categories, themes, references, and keywords is produced and elaborated. Nanomedicine-related academic output is increasing since the COVID-19 pandemic, solidifying the uneven global distribution of research performance. While China leads in terms of publication quantity and has numerous highly productive institutions, the USA has advantages in academic impact, commercialization, and industrial value. Nanomedicine integrates with other disciplines, establishing interdisciplinary platforms, in which drug delivery and nanoparticles remain focal points. Current research focuses on integrating nanomedicine and cell ferroptosis induction in cancer immunotherapy. The keyword "burst testing" identifies promising research directions, including immunogenic cell death, chemodynamic therapy, tumor microenvironment, immunotherapy, and extracellular vesicles. The prospects, major challenges, and barriers to addressing these directions are discussed.

Comparative Analysis of Bone Regeneration According to Particle Type and Barrier Membrane for Octacalcium Phosphate Grafted into Rabbit Calvarial Defects. Bioengineering (Basel) 2024; 11:215. [PMID: 38534489 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering11030215] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 02/13/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024] Open
Abstract
This animal study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of new bone formation and volume maintenance according to the particle type and the collagen membrane function for grafted octacalcium phosphate (OCP) in rabbit calvarial defects. The synthetic bone substitutes were prepared in powder form with 90% OCP and granular form with 76% OCP, respectively. The calvarial defects were divided into four groups according to the particle type and the membrane application. All specimens were acquired 2 weeks (n = 5) and 8 weeks (n = 5) after surgery. According to the micro-CT results, the new bone volume increased at 2 weeks in the 76% OCP groups compared to the 90% OCP groups, and the bone volume ratio was significantly lower in the 90% OCP group after 2 weeks. The histomorphometric analysis results indicated that the new bone area and its ratio in all experimental groups were increased at 8 weeks except for the group with 90% OCP without a membrane. Furthermore, the residual bone graft area and its ratio in the 90% OCP groups were decreased at 8 weeks. In conclusion, all types of OCP could be applied as biocompatible bone graft materials regardless of its density and membrane application. Neither the OCP concentration nor the membrane application had a significant effect on new bone formation in the defect area, but the higher the OCP concentration, the less graft volume maintenance was needed.

Abstract
Addressing the critical requirement for real-time monitoring of tumor progression in cancer care, this study introduces an innovative wearable platform. This platform employs a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film embedded with hafnium oxide nanoparticles (HfO2 NPs) to facilitate dynamic tracking of tumor growth and regression in real time. Significantly, the synthesized HfO2 NPs exhibit promising characteristics as effective sonosensitizers, holding the potential to efficiently eliminate cancer cells through ultrasound irradiation. The TPU-HfO2 film, acting as a dielectric elastomer (DE) strain sensor, undergoes proportional deformation in response to changes in the tumor volume, thereby influencing its electrical impedance. This distinctive behavior empowers the DE strain sensor to continuously and accurately monitor alterations in tumor volume, determining the optimal timing for initiating HfO2 NP treatment, optimizing dosages, and assessing treatment effectiveness. Seamless integration with a wireless system allows instant transmission of detected electrical impedances to a smartphone for real-time data processing and visualization, enabling immediate patient monitoring and timely intervention by remote medical staff. By combining the dynamic tumor monitoring capabilities of the TPU-HfO2 film with the sonosensitizer potential of HfO2 NPs, this approach propels cancer care into the realm of telemedicine, representing a significant advancement in patient treatment.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a severe neurodegenerative disease caused by mechanical and biological factors, manifesting as a loss of motor and sensory functions. Inhibition of injury expansion and even reversal of injury in the acute damage stage of SCI are important strategies for treating this disease. Hydrogels and nanoparticle (NP)-based drugs are the most effective, widely studied, and clinically valuable therapeutic strategies in the field of repair and regeneration. Hydrogels are 3D flow structures that fill the pathological gaps in SCI and provide a microenvironment similar to that of the spinal cord extracellular matrix for nerve cell regeneration. NP-based drugs can easily penetrate the blood-spinal cord barrier, target SCI lesions, and are noninvasive. Hydrogels and NPs as drug carriers can be loaded with various drugs and biological therapeutic factors for slow release in SCI lesions. They help drugs function more efficiently by exerting anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and nerve regeneration effects to promote the recovery of neurological function. In this review, the use of hydrogels and NPs as drug carriers and the role of both in the repair of SCI are discussed to provide a multimodal strategic reference for nerve repair and regeneration after SCI.

Abstract
Small-diameter artificial blood vessels are increasingly being used in clinical practice. However, these vessels are prone to thrombus, and it is necessary to improve blood compatibility. Surface coating is one of the commonly used methods in this regard. Inspired by the biomimicry of mussels, the use of deposition technology to obtain coating coverage on the surface of fibers has significantly piqued the interest of researchers recently. In this study, tubular scaffolds consisting of a composite of poly(caprolactone), cellulose acetate, and tannic acid (TA) were electrospun, and then the scaffolds were treated with different Fe(III) solutions (iron(III) chloride hexahydrate (FeCl3'6H2O)) to obtain four tubular scaffolds: F0, F5, F15, and F45. According to scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and field emission-SEM results, TA/Fe(III) complex is coated on the fiber of the scaffold after post-treatment; the fiber surface morphology changes with different Fe(III) concentrations. This provides designability to the performance of tubular scaffolds. The tensile strength of the F5 tubular scaffold (3.33 MPa) is higher than that of F45 (3.14 MPa), while the strain (83.9%) of the F45 tubular stent was 2.26 times that of the F5 (37.2%). In addition, cytotoxicity and antithrombotic performance were evaluated. The test results show that surface TA/Fe(III) coating treatment can affect the cytotoxicity and anticoagulation performance of the scaffold surface. The biomimetic TA/Fe(III) coating of mussels used in this study improves the performance of artificial blood vessels.

Abstract
Small-diameter artificial blood vessels have always faced the problem of thrombosis. In this research, three types of poly(-caprolactone)-cellulose acetate (PCL-CA) composite nanofiber membranes were prepared by various collectors to make into a tubular scaffold with a 4.5-mm diameter. The collector consisted of two sizes of stainless steel wire mesh large-mesh (LM) and small-mesh (SM), respectively. There is also a random flat (RF) that acts as the third type collector. The nanofiber membrane's surface structure mimicked the collectors' surface morphology, they named LM, SM and RF scaffolds. The water contact angles of RF and LM scaffolds are 126.5° and 105.5°, and the distinct square-groove construction greatly improves the contact angle of LM. The tubular scaffolds' radial mechanical property test demonstrated that the large-mesh (LM) tubular scaffold enhanced the strain and tensile strength; the tensile strength and strain are 30 % and 148 % higher than that of the random-flat (RF) tubular scaffold, respectively. The suture retention strength value of the LM tubular scaffold was 103 % higher than that of the RF tubular scaffold. The cytotoxicity and antithrombogenicity performance were also evaluated, the LM tubular scaffold has 88 % cell viability, and the 5-min blood coagulation index (BCI) value was 89 %, which is much higher than other tubular scaffolds. The findings indicate that changing the tubular scaffold's surface morphology cannot only enhance the mechanical and hydrophilic properties but also increase cell survival and antithrombogenicity performance. Thus, the development of a small-diameter artificial blood vessel will be a big step toward solving the problem on thrombosis. Furthermore, artificial blood vessel is expected to be a candidate material for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death around the world, a trend that will progressively grow over the next decade. Recently, with the advancement of nanotechnology, innovative nanoparticles (NPs) have been efficiently utilized in disease diagnosis and theranostic applications. In this review, we highlighted the benchmark summary of the recently synthesized NPs that are handy for imaging, diagnosis, and treatment of CVDs. NPs are the carrier of drug-delivery payloads actively reaching more areas of the heart and arteries, allowing them novel therapeutic agents for CVDs. Herein, due to the limited availability of literature, we only focused on NPs mechanism in the cardiovascular system and various treatment-based approaches that opens a new window for future research and versatile approach in the field of medical and clinical applications. Moreover, current challenges and limitations for the detection of CVDs has also discussed.

Abstract
A key driver in current research on lubricant formulation is the need to move away from older technology that is highly reliant on resources derived from industries associated with high carbon dioxide emissions. In this paper, the adoption of water based (or aqueous) lubrication is explored. This is in direct contrast with most lubricated systems that rely on oil or other petroleum products. In nature, most known biological systems employ aqueous lubrication for tribological contacts, such as those found in cartilage and more widely in mammalian joints including hips and knees giving friction coefficients as low as μ < 0.002. This is achieved very effectively without the presence of an oil or grease as a base lubricant. In most engineering applications, however, oils and greases are used to achieve desired low friction levels. While effective, this comes with the associated higher costs and carbon footprint of using petroleum derived products. In recent years, certain engineering applications have shifted to aqueous lubrication, a notable example of which is stern tube bearings in maritime applications. These are typically low pressure contacts though. Depending on speed of travel this can range from 100–400 MPa. The research detailed in this paper explores the viability of high pressure contacts lubricated with novel aqueous packages and what effects this shift may have on friction and wear profiles of the system. The work reported herein demonstrates that with some modifications, effective lubrication can be achieved using aqueous lubricant packages. A key driver in current research on lubricant formulation is the need to move away from older technology that is highly reliant on resources derived from industries associated with high carbon dioxide emissions.![]()

Abstract
Surface characteristics are an important factor for long-term clinical success of dental implants. Alterations of implant surface characteristics accelerate or improve osseointegration by interacting with the physiology of bone healing. Dental implant surfaces have been traditionally modified at the microlevel. Recently, researchers have actively investigated nano-modifications in dental implants. This review explores implant surface modifications that enhance biological response at the interface between a bone and the implant.

Abstract
Various types of materials have been traditionally used to restore damaged bones. In the late 1960s, a strong interest was raised in studying ceramics as potential bone grafts due to their biomechanical properties. A short time later, such synthetic biomaterials were called bioceramics. Bioceramics can be prepared from diverse inorganic substances, but this review is limited to calcium orthophosphate (CaPO4)-based formulations only, due to its chemical similarity to mammalian bones and teeth. During the past 50 years, there have been a number of important achievements in this field. Namely, after the initial development of bioceramics that was just tolerated in the physiological environment, an emphasis was shifted towards the formulations able to form direct chemical bonds with the adjacent bones. Afterwards, by the structural and compositional controls, it became possible to choose whether the CaPO4-based implants would remain biologically stable once incorporated into the skeletal structure or whether they would be resorbed over time. At the turn of the millennium, a new concept of regenerative bioceramics was developed, and such formulations became an integrated part of the tissue engineering approach. Now, CaPO4-based scaffolds are designed to induce bone formation and vascularization. These scaffolds are usually porous and harbor various biomolecules and/or cells. Therefore, current biomedical applications of CaPO4-based bioceramics include artificial bone grafts, bone augmentations, maxillofacial reconstruction, spinal fusion, and periodontal disease repairs, as well as bone fillers after tumor surgery. Prospective future applications comprise drug delivery and tissue engineering purposes because CaPO4 appear to be promising carriers of growth factors, bioactive peptides, and various types of cells.

Abstract
Abstract:
Aim: to evaluate the bone healing in failed endodontically treated teeth after surgical removal of periapical lesions and placement of hydroxyapatite (HA), nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) and a combination of nanohydroxyapatite with platelet rich fibrin (PRF) periapically. Subjects and methods: the study was conducted on twenty-four patients having periapical radiolucency in single rooted teeth. The selected teeth were divided into three groups: Group A, Group B, and Group C; of 8 teeth each. All the teeth were retreated in two visits. In the first visit the old filling was removed using Protaper retreatment files (Dentsply Sirona®) then irrigation with sodium hypochlorite 2.5% was done. All canals were dried and filled with Di-antibiotic paste (metronidazole and ciprofloxacin). In the second visit the canals were obturated with Pro Taper gutta-percha points and root canal sealer (Adseal resin sealer) followed by surgical intervention in the same day. A periapical curettage along with apicoectomy were established. In all the groups, root end cavity was prepared and filled with MTA (ProRoot MTA; DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental Specialties). In Group A, hydroxyapatite powder was packed in the curetted periapical defect. In Group B, nanohydroxyapatite powder was packed in the curetted periapical defect. In Group C, nanohydroxyapatite with PRF were mixed and packed in the curetted periapical defect. In all groups, patients recall visits were scheduled at 1, 3, and 6 months’ time intervals for clinical and radiological evaluation. Results: after one month; there was a statistically significant difference between the median percentage changes in lesions size in the three groups. Pair-wise comparisons between groups revealed that there was no statistically significant difference between group B (nHA) and group C (PRF and nHA) groups. Both showed statistically significantly higher median percentage reduction in lesions size than group A (HA group). After three as well as six months; there was no statistically significant difference between the median percentage decreases in lesions size in the three groups. Conclusion: It was concluded that nHA combination with PRF produced faster periapical healing (bone regeneration) in the first three months than nHA alone. However, HA produce periapical healing (bone regeneration) after six months.

Abstract
Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is widely used in aviation, architecture, medical treatment, optical instruments and other fields because of its good transparency, chemical stability and electrical insulation. However, the application of PMMA largely depends on its physical properties. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength, fracture surface energy, shear modulus and Young’s modulus are increased with the increase in molecular weight. Consequently, it is of great significance to synthesize high molecular weight PMMA. In this article, we review the application of conventional free radical polymerization, atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and coordination polymerization for preparing high molecular weight PMMA. The mechanisms of these polymerizations are discussed. In addition, applications of PMMA are also summarized.

Abstract
There is heavy demand for suitable implant materials with improved mechanical and biological properties. Classically, the demand was catered by conventional materials like metals, alloys, and polymer-based materials. Recently, nanomaterial reinforced composites have played a significant role in replacing conventional materials due to their excellent properties such as biocompatibility, bioactivity, high strength to weight ratio, long life, corrosion & wear resistance, and tailor-ability. Herein, we composed a systematic focus review on the role of nanoparticles in the form of composite materials for the advancements in orthopedic implants. Several nano materials-based reinforcements have been reviewed with various matrix materials, including metals, alloys, ceramics, composites, and polymers for biomedical implant applications. Moreover, the improved biological properties, mechanical properties, and other functionalities like infection resistance, drug delivery at the target, sensing, and detection of bone diseases, and corrosion & wear resistance are elaborated. At last, a particular focus has been given to the un-resolved challenges in orthopedic implant development.

Abstract
For this first time, this study utilized Accelerated Neutral Atom Beam (ANAB) technology to modify polypropylene to inhibit bacteria colonization in vitro after 24 hours without the use of drugs or antibiotics. Specifically, ANAB was designed and used to increase the surface energy of polypropylene to be closer to that of two critical proteins (mucin and casein) contained in bodily fluids that if adsorbed to a material surface can decreased bacteria colonization. Materials were characterized using atomic force microscopy demonstrating an expected greater surface roughness and surface area for the ANAB-treated samples compared to controls. A wide range of gram-positive, gram-negative, and antibiotic resistant bacteria were tested here (including Staph. epidermidis, Staph. aureus, MRSA, multi-drug resistant E. coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and demonstrated on average an over a 3-log reduction in bacteria after 24 hours. Further, this study confirmed a greater adsorption of mucin and casein on ANAB-treated polypropylene as the mechanism to decrease bacteria colonization. Lastly, this study utilized an aggressive cleaning procedure and showed strong durability of the ABAN-treated surfaces. This study is important as it demonstrates a way to potentially decrease polypropylene based implant infections using ANAB modification without using antibiotics.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a primary cause of death globally. A few classic and hybrid treatments exist to treat CVDs. However, they lack in both safety and effectiveness. Thus, innovative nanomaterials for disease diagnosis and treatment are urgently required. The tiny size of nanomaterials allows them to reach more areas of the heart and arteries, making them ideal for CVDs. Atherosclerosis causes arterial stenosis and reduced blood flow. The most common treatment is medication and surgery to stabilize the disease. Nanotechnologies are crucial in treating vascular disease. Nanomaterials may be able to deliver medications to lesion sites after being infused into the circulation. Newer point-of-care devices have also been considered together with nanomaterials. For example, this study will look at the use of nanomaterials in imaging, diagnosing, and treating CVDs.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have a massive impact on human health. Due to the limited regeneration capacity of adult heart tissue, CVDs are the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Even though there are surgical and pharmacological treatments for CVDs, regenerative strategies are the most promising approaches and have the potential to benefit millions of people. As in any other tissue engineering approach, the repair and regeneration of damaged cardiac tissues generally involve scaffolds made up of biodegradable and biocompatible materials, cellular components such as stem cells, and growth factors. This review provides an overview of biomaterial-based tissue engineering approaches for CVDs with a specific focus on the potential of 2D materials. It is essential to consider both physicochemical and immunomodulatory properties for evaluating the applicability of 2D materials in cardiac tissue repair and regeneration. As new members of the 2D materials will be explored, they will quickly become part of cardiac tissue engineering technologies.

Abstract
Poor tendon repair remains a clinical problem due to the difficulties in replicating the complex multiscale hierarchical structure of native tendons. In this work, a bioinspired fibrous scaffold with bimodal micro-nanofibers and a teno-inductive aligned topography was developed to replicate microscale collagen fibers and nanoscale collagen fibrils that compose native tendons. The results showed indicated that the combination of micro- and nanofibers enhanced the mechanical properties. Furthermore, their biological performance was assessed using tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs). Micro-nanofibers induced a higher cell aspect ratio and enhanced the tenogenic differentiation of TSPCs compared to micro- and nanocontrols. Interestingly, it was observed that scaffold nanotopography and microstructures promoted tenogenesis via activating the TGF-β/Smad2/3-mediated signaling pathway. The in situ implantation study confirmed that micro-nanofibrous scaffolds promoted the structural and mechanical properties of the regenerated Achilles tendon. Overall, our study shows that the bimodal micro-nanofibrous scaffold developed here presents a promising potential to improve the outcomes of tendon tissue engineering.

Abstract
The advent of bioresorbable materials to overcome limitations and replace traditional bone-reconstruction titanium-plate systems for bone fixation, thus achieving greater efficiency and safety in medical and dental applications, has ushered in a new era in biomaterial development. Because of its bioactive osteoconductive ability and biocompatibility, the forged composite of uncalcined/unsintered hydroxyapatite and poly L-lactic acid (u-HA/PLLA) has attracted considerable interest from researchers in bone tissue engineering, as well as from clinicians, particularly for applications in maxillofacial reconstructive surgery. Thus, various in vitro studies, in vivo studies, and clinical trials have been conducted to investigate the feasibility and weaknesses of this biomaterial in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Various technical improvements have been proposed to optimize its advantages and limit its disadvantages. This narrative review presents an up-to-date, comprehensive review of u-HA/PLLA, a bioactive osteoconductive and bioresorbable bone-reconstruction and -fixation material, in the context of oral and maxillofacial surgery, notably maxillofacial trauma, orthognathic surgery, and maxillofacial reconstruction. It simultaneously introduces new trends in the development of bioresorbable materials that could used in this field. Various studies have shown the superiority of u-HA/PLLA, a third-generation bioresorbable biomaterial with high mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and bioactive osteoconductivity, compared to other bioresorbable materials. Future developments may focus on controlling its bioactivity and biodegradation rate and enhancing its mechanical strength.

Abstract
Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) is a precursor of biological apatite crystals that has attracted attention as a possible bone substitute. On the other hand, few studies have examined this material at the experimental level due to the limitations on OCP mass production. Recently, mass production technology of OCP was developed, and the launch of OCP bone substitutes is occurring. In this study, the bone regeneration capacity of OCP products was compared with two of the most clinically used materials: heat-treated bovine bone (BHA) and sintered biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP). Twelve rabbits were used, and defects in each tibia were filled with OCP, BHA, BCP, and left unfilled as control (CON). The tibias were harvested at 4 and 12 weeks, and 15 μm slides were prepared using the diamond grinding method after being embedded in resin. Histological and histomorphometric analyses were performed to evaluate the bone regeneration ability and mechanism. The OCP showed significantly higher resorption and new bone formation in both periods analysed (p < 0.05). Overall, OCP bone substitutes can enhance bone regeneration significantly by activating osteoblasts and a rapid phase transition of OCP crystals to biological apatite crystals (mineralization), as well as providing additional space for new bone formation by rapid resorption.

Abstract
TiO2 nanostructures and more specifically nanotubes have gained significant attention in biomedical applications, due to their controlled nanoscale topography in the sub-100 nm range, high surface area, chemical resistance, and biocompatibility. Here we review the crucial aspects related to morphology and properties of TiO2 nanotubes obtained by electrochemical anodization of titanium for the biomedical field. Following the discussion of TiO2 nanotopographical characterization, the advantages of anodic TiO2 nanotubes will be introduced, such as their high surface area controlled by the morphological parameters (diameter and length), which provides better adsorption/linkage of bioactive molecules. We further discuss the key interactions with bone-related cells including osteoblast and stem cells in in vitro cell culture conditions, thus evaluating the cell response on various nanotubular structures. In addition, the synergistic effects of electrical stimulation on cells for enhancing bone formation combining with the nanoscale environmental cues from nanotopography will be further discussed. The present review also overviews the current state of drug delivery applications using TiO2 nanotubes for increased osseointegration and discusses the advantages, drawbacks, and prospects of drug delivery applications via these anodic TiO2 nanotubes.

Abstract
An opaque, white chitosan/ Hydroxyapatite nanocomposite was prepared by a simple blend method. Morphology, pore size and dispersion of nano-hydroxyapatite in chitosan matrix were visualized using SEM images. The FTIR and SEM with EDX analysis confirmed the bony apatite layer was formed on the outside of the composite. Porosity measurements and water uptake studies of the nanocomposite were evaluated which revealed the maximum porosity of 80% to 92% in the chitosan: hydroxyapatite nanocomposite at the ratio of 20:80. The results also showed that water absorption ability was inversely proportional to the hydroxyapatite present in the nanocomposite. The porosity of prepared nanocomposite was corresponding to the cancellous bone porosity of 50% to 90% suggesting possible applications in bone transplantation. The nanocomposite exhibited antibacterial activity towards the tested Gram-negative and Gram-positive species of bacteria and reduced the bacterial adhesion in biofilm formation.

Abstract
Liver cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide and is also one of the most difficult cancers to treat, resulting in almost one million deaths per year, and the danger of this cancer is compounded when the tumor is nonresectable. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer and has the third highest mortality rate worldwide. Considering the morbid statistics surrounding this cancer it is a popular research topic to target for better therapy practices. This review summarizes the role of nanotechnology in these endeavors. Nanoparticles (NPs) are a very broad class of material and many different kinds have been used to potentially combat liver cancer. Gold, silver, platinum, metal oxide, calcium, and selenium NPs as well as less common materials are all inorganic NPs that have been used as a therapeutic, carrier, or imaging agent in drug delivery systems (DDS) and these efforts are described. Carbon-based NPs, including polymeric, polysaccharide, and lipid NPs as well as carbon dots, have also been widely studied for this purpose and the role they play in DDS for the treatment of liver cancer is illustrated in this review. The multifunctional nature of many NPs described herein, allows these systems to display high anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo and highlights the advantage of and need for combinatorial therapy in treating this difficult cancer. These works are summarized, and future directions are presented for this promising field.

Abstract
Cycloparaphenylene is a particle that comprises a few benzene rings associated with covalent bonds in the para positions to frame a ring-like structure. Similarly, poly (para-phenylenes) are macromolecules that include benzenoid compounds straightforwardly joined to each other by C-C bonds. Because of their remarkable architectural highlights, these structures have fascinated attention from numerous vantage focuses. Descriptors are among the most fundamental segments of prescient quantitative structure-activity and property relationship (QSAR/QSPR) demonstrating examination. They encode chemical data of particles as quantitative numbers, which are utilized to create a mathematical correlation. The nature of a predictive model relies upon great demonstrating insights, yet additionally on the extraction of compound highlights. To a great extent, Molecular topology has exhibited its adequacy in portraying sub-atomic structures and anticipating their properties. It follows a two-dimensional methodology, just thinking about the interior plan, including molecules. Explicit subsets speak the design of every atom of topological descriptors. When all around picked, these descriptors give a unique method of describing an atomic system that can represent the most significant highlights of the molecular structure. Detour index is one such topological descriptor with much application in chemistry, especially in QSAR/QSPR studies. This article presents an exact analytical expression for the detour index of cycloparaphenylene and poly (para-phenylene).

Abstract
Nano-emulsions consist of stable suspensions of nano-scaled droplets that have huge loading capacities and are formulated with safe compounds. For these reasons, a large number of studies have described the potential uses of nano-emulsions, focusing on various aspects such as formulation processes, loading capabilities, and surface modifications. These studies typically concern direct nano-emulsions (i.e., oil-in-water), whereas studies on reverse nano-emulsions (i.e., water-in-oil) remain anecdotal. However, reverse nano-emulsion technology is very promising (e.g., as an alternative to liposome technology) for the development of drug delivery systems that encapsulate hydrophilic compounds within double droplets. The spontaneous emulsification process has the added advantages of optimization of the energetic yield, potential for industrial scale-up, improved loading capabilities, and preservation of fragile compounds targeted for encapsulation. In this study, we propose a detailed investigation of the processes and formulation parameters involved in the spontaneous nano-emulsification that produces water-in-oil nano-emulsions. The following details were addressed: (i) the order of mixing of the different compounds (method A and method B), (ii) mixing rates, (iii) amount of surfactants, (iv) type and mixture of surfactants, (v) amount of dispersed phase, and (vi) influence of the nature of the oil. The results emphasized the effects of the formulation parameters (e.g., the volume fraction of the dispersed phase, nature or concentration of surfactant, or nature of the oil) on the nature and properties of the nano-emulsions formed.

Abstract
A molecule, molecular aggregate, or protein that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image presents chirality. Most living systems are organized by chiral building blocks, such as amino acids, peptides, and carbohydrates, and any change in their molecular structure (i.e., handedness or helicity) alters the biochemical and pharmacological functions of the molecules, many of which take place at surfaces. Therefore, studying surface chirogenesis at the nanoscale is fundamentally important and derives various applications. For example, since proteins contain highly ordered secondary structures, the intrinsic chirality can be served as a signature to measure the dynamics of protein adsorption and protein conformational changes at biological surfaces. Furthermore, a better understanding of chiral recognition and separation at bio-nanointerfaces is helpful to standardize chiral drugs and monitor the synthesis of adsorbents with high precision. Thus, exploring the changes in surface chirality with polarized excitations would provide structural and biochemical information of the adsorbed molecules, which has led to the development of label-free and noninvasive measurement tools based on linear and nonlinear optical effects. In this review, the principles and selected applications of linear and nonlinear optical methods for quantifying surface chirality are introduced and compared, aiming to conceptualize new ideas to address critical issues in surface biochemistry.

Abstract
PURPOSE Implants made of anodized-hydrothermally treated commercially pure titanium with a nanotopographic surface structure (SA-treated c.p.Ti) may advantageously promote contact osteogenesis during the early stages of healing. We hypothesized that utilizing SA-treated c.p.Ti with dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) might improve osteoconduction during the process of osseointegration. This in vitro study investigated the effect of initial adhesion of DPSCs to SA-treated c.p.Ti compared with conventional c.p.Ti and anodic oxide (AO) c.p.Ti. METHODS DPSCs were obtained from the mandibular incisors of Sprague-Dawley rats and cultured without osteogenic induction medium on c.p.Ti, AO c.p.Ti, and SA-treated c.p.Ti disks for up to 14 days. The morphology, proliferation, and differentiation of DPSCs were assessed by scanning electron microscopy, an MTT assay, and Alizarin Red S staining, respectively. A real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to quantify the mRNA expression of osteocalcin, osteopontin, and bone sialoprotein. RESULTS On all disks, the DPSCs appeared flattened with the formation of extensions over time. The filopodium-like extensions were closely bound to the SA-treated c.p.Ti surface. The proliferation of DPSCs was not significantly different among the c.p.Ti treatments. However, DPSCs on SA-treated c.p.Ti showed the greatest mRNA levels of osteopontin, osteocalcin, and bone sialoprotein, as well as increased Alizarin Red S staining. CONCLUSIONS The results of the present in vitro study demonstrate that the surface properties of SA-treated c.p.Ti disks enhance osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs and may facilitate mineralized matrix formation on SA-treated c.p.Ti implant surfaces, which can enhance early bone regeneration.

Abstract
Current implantable materials are limited in terms of function as native tissue, and there is still no effective clinical treatment to restore articular impairments. Hereby, a functionalized polyacrylamide (PAAm)-alginate (Alg) Double Network (DN) hydrogel acting as an articular-like tissue is developed. These hydrogels sustain their mechanical stability under different temperature (+4 °C, 25 °C, 40 °C) and humidity conditions (60% and 75%) over 3 months. As for the functionalization, transforming growth factor beta-3 (TGF-β3) encapsulated (NPTGF-β3) and empty poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles (PLGA NPs) are synthesized by using microfluidic platform, wherein the mean particle sizes are determined as 81.44 ± 9.2 nm and 126 ± 4.52 nm with very low polydispersity indexes (PDI) of 0.194 and 0.137, respectively. Functionalization process of PAAm-Alg hydrogels with ester-end PLGA NPs is confirmed by FTIR analysis, and higher viscoelasticity is obtained for functionalized hydrogels. Moreover, cartilage regeneration capability of these hydrogels is evaluated with in vitro and in vivo experiments. Compared with the PAAm-Alg hydrogels, functionalized formulations exhibit a better cell viability. Histological staining, and score distribution confirmed that proposed hydrogels significantly enhance regeneration of cartilage in rats due to stable hydrogel matrix and controlled release of TGF-β3. These findings demonstrated that PAAm-Alg hydrogels showed potential for cartilage repair and clinical application.

Abstract
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has been well concerned as a promising material for hard tissue repair because of its outstanding mechanical behavior and superior biocompatibility. However, its clinical application is limited by its biological inertness and the susceptibility to bacterial infection during implantation. To improve the original shortcomings, self-polymerized dopamine (PDA) was used to enrich silver ions on the PEEK surface. Moreover, a layer of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) film was formed on the PEEK surface by the spin-coating method, aiming to control the release of silver ions on the surface. At the same time, bone forming peptide (BFP) was modified onto the PEEK surface by 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbonimide hydrochloride (EDC) / N-hydroxy succinimide (NHS). The characterization results showed that PEEK-Ag-CMC-BFP could be obtained successfully. The inhibition zone and bacterial kinetic curve showed a favorable inhibitory effect of the sliver-modified PEEK on gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. In vitro experiments exhibited that PEEK-Ag-CMC-BFP had a better biological activity than that of PEEK, which could promote cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. It is expected that this dual-function material with antibacterial and bone-promoting properties has a vast potential applied in the field of hard tissue repair.

Abstract
In order to improve the biological activity of hydroxyapatite (HA), a multi-substituted HA (SHA) nanopowder with the chemical composition of Ca9.5Mg0.25Sr0.25(PO4)5.5(SiO4)0.5(OH)1.2F0.8 was synthesized using the microwave-assisted method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that all ions were substituted in the HA crystal lattice. The HA and SHA nanoparticles had a semi-spherical morphology with the average size of 90 and 80 nm, respectively. In-vitro bioactivity assessments showed that after the 28-day immersion of the samples in the simulated body fluid, the morphology of the precipitated apatites on the surface of the HA sample still consisted of spherical particles with a cauliflower-like structure. However, in the SHA sample, the morphology of the precipitated apatites was changed to a nanorod-like one similar to the bone-like apatite, which may be attributed the presence of Sr in the precipitated apatites. The results showed that the release of the substituted ions not only had no adverse effect on the cell viability and cell attachment, but also enhanced the alkaline phosphatase activity of MG63 osteoblast like cells in the SHA group, as compared to the HA and control groups. The results indicated that the simultaneous substitution of Si, Mg, Sr, and F in HA nanoparticles could effectively promote bioactivity, cell proliferation and differentiation. This novel HA composition could be, therefore, well used for implant coating, bone tissue engineering and other orthopedic applications.

Abstract
Layered osteochondral composite scaffolds are considered as a promising strategy for the treatment of osteochondral defects. However, the insufficient osseous support and integration of the subchondral bone layer frequently result in the failure of osteochondral repair. Therefore, it is essentially important to explore new subchondral bone constructs tailored to support bone integration and healing. In this study, a novel three-dimensional porous biomimetic construct (HA/pDA-OTMS) was successfully developed by polydopamine (pDA) regulating hydroxyapatite (HA) microspheres grown in the honeycomb-like mollusk shell-derived organic template (OTMS). The biomimetic OTMS had good mechanical properties, high toughness, biodegradability and excellent biocompatibility. Moreover, the long-range ordered cavity structure of OTMS allowed the smallest material to create the largest and most stable geometric space, endowing it high HA loading capacity. The modification of pDA on OTMS surface effectively promoted the mineral nucleation of HA in the micro-nano cavities of OTMS. The compression mechanical tests showed that the combination of inorganic HA and organic pDA-OTMS greatly improved the mechanical properties of the construct. Additionally, the HA/pDA-OTMS composite provided adequate 3-D support for osteoblast cell attachment, proliferation and differentiation, as well as significantly up-regulated the expression of osteogenesis-related genes. These results demonstrated that as-prepared HA/pDA-OTMS constructs with combined mechanical strength and excellent osteogenic activity show great application prospects in subchondral bone regeneration.

Abstract
Biomimicking the nanostructure of natural bone apatite to enhance the bioactivity of hydroxyapatite (HA) biomaterials is an eternal topic in the bone regeneration field. In the present study, we designed four kinds of HA bioceramics with micro- to nanosized grains and investigated the effects of bioceramic topographies on the structures of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and the effects on the responses of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). Compared to the samples with submicron-scale crystalline particles, HA bioceramics with grain sizes of 104.6 ± 27.8 nm exhibited increased roughness, improved hydrophilicity and enhanced mechanical properties. The synergistic effects of these surface characteristics could well maintain the conformation of BMP-2, facilitate cell adhesion and spreading, and activate the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Furthermore, SBF immersion and in vivo canine intramuscular implantation confirmed that the HA bioceramics with nanotopography also processed excellent bone-like apatite forming ability and outstanding osteoinductivity. In summary, these findings suggest that the nanotopography of HA bioceramics is a critical factor to enhance their bioactivity and osteoinductivity.

[PMID: 32004906 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2020.110780] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2019] [Revised: 12/18/2019] [Accepted: 01/04/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
High-resolution transmission electron microscopy, ζ-potential and in-situ IR spectroscopy of adsorbed CO were combined for elucidating the ratio between {011¯0}_ Ca-rich: {011¯0}_ P-rich terminations of {011¯0} facets, i.e. the surfaces with the highest morphological importance, in two nanohydroxyapatite samples. Bovine serum albumin was found to form at least a monolayer on the surface left accessible to protein molecules by the agglomeration of nanoparticles when suspended in the buffered incubation medium. Noticeably, the conformation of adsorbed proteins appeared sensitive to the ratio between the two types of {011¯0} terminations, also resulting in a difference in the surface exposed toward the exterior by the adsorbed protein layer(s).

Characterization of Nano-Scale Hydroxyapatite Coating Synthesized from Eggshells Through Hydrothermal Reaction on Commercially Pure Titanium. COATINGS 2020.

Abstract
Commercially pure titanium (c.p. Ti) is often used in biomedical implants, but its surface cannot usually combine with the living bone. A coating of hydroxyapatite (HA) on the surface of titanium implants provides excellent mechanical properties and has good biological activity and biocompatibility. For optimal osteocompatibility, the structure, size, and composition of HA crystals should be closer to those of biological apatite. Our results show that the surface of c.p. Ti was entirely covered by rod-like HA nanoparticles after alkali treatment and subsequent hydrothermal treatment at 150 °C for 48 h. Nano-sized apatite aggregates began to nucleate on HA-coated c.p. Ti surfaces after immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 6 h, while no obvious precipitation was found on the uncoated sample. Higher apatite-forming ability (bioactivity) could be acquired by the samples after HA coating. The HA coating featured bone-like nanostructure, high crystallinity, and carbonate substitution. It can be expected that HA coatings synthesized from eggshells on c.p. Ti through a hydrothermal reaction could be used in dental implant applications in the future.

Abstract
A novel, three-dimensional, porous, human-like collagen (HLC)/nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA) scaffold cross-linked by 1,2,7,8-diepoxyoctane (DEO) was successfully fabricated, which showed excellent mechanical and superior biological properties for bone tissue regeneration in this study. The physicochemical characterizations of different n-HA/HLC/DEO (nHD) scaffolds were investigated by determining the morphology, compression stress, elastic modulus, Young's modulus and enzymatic hydrolysis behavior in vitro. The results demonstrated that nHD-2 and nHD-3 scaffolds showed superior mechanical properties and resistance to enzymatic hydrolysis compared to nHD-1 scaffolds. The cell viability, live cell staining and cell adhesion analysis results demonstrated that nHD-2 scaffolds exhibited low cytotoxicity and excellent cytocompatibility compared with nHD-1 and nHD-3 scaffolds. Furthermore, subcutaneous injections of nHD-2 scaffolds in rabbits produced superior anti-biodegradation effects and histocompatibility compared with injections of nHD-1 and nHD-3 scaffolds after 1, 2 and 4 weeks. In addition, the repair of bone defects in rabbits demonstrated that nHD-2 scaffolds presented an improved ability for guided bone regeneration and reconstruction compared to commercially available bone scaffold composite hydroxyapatite/collagen (HC). Collectively, the results show that nHD-2 scaffolds show promise for application in bone tissue engineering due to their excellent mechanical properties, anti-biodegradation, anti-biodegradation, biocompatibility and bone repair effects.

Abstract
This review paper describes several recent modification methods for biocompatible titanium dental implant surfaces. The micro-roughened surfaces reviewed in the literature are sandblasted, large-grit, acid-etched, and anodically oxidized. These globally-used surfaces have been clinically investigated, showing survival rates higher than 95%. In the past, dental clinicians believed that eukaryotic cells for osteogenesis did not recognize the changes of the nanostructures of dental implant surfaces. However, research findings have recently shown that osteogenic cells respond to chemical and morphological changes at a nanoscale on the surfaces, including titanium dioxide nanotube arrangements, functional peptide coatings, fluoride treatments, calcium–phosphorus applications, and ultraviolet photofunctionalization. Some of the nano-level modifications have not yet been clinically evaluated. However, these modified dental implant surfaces at the nanoscale have shown excellent in vitro and in vivo results, and thus promising potential future clinical use.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys are a class of promising materials for biodegradable orthopedic and craniomaxillofacial implants; however, rapid release of hydrogen gas remains a key challenge for clinical translation. This study reported the optimal parameters of electrophoretic deposition (EPD), at which magnesium oxide nanoparticles (nMgO) could be deposited onto Mg substrates with homogeneous surface morphology and elemental distribution. The results showed that the distribution and uniformity of the nMgO coatings on Mg improved when the nMgO concentration in ethanol increased and the time of applied voltage decreased. The nMgO-coated Mg showed a homogeneous surface and distinct degradation mode during the 9-day immersion studies in revised simulated body fluid (r-SBF) and Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM), when compared with the noncoated Mg controls. The nMgO coating initially mitigated hydrogen gas formation. The degradation layer on nMgO-coated Mg was thicker than the noncoated Mg and enriched with Ca and P that are favorable for skeletal implant applications. In the direct culture study with bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in vitro, the cell adhesion density and morphology were not affected by the solubilized degradation products released by the nMgO-coated Mg under indirect contact. However, at the cell-biomaterial interface, the cell spreading decreased under direct contact, possibly because of the continuous dynamic degradation of the samples. The electrophoretically deposited nMgO coatings on Mg-based medical implants should be further studied to improve the coating-substrate and cell-material interfaces for clinical applications.

Abstract
The increasing need for novel bone replacement materials has been driving numerous studies on modifying their surface to stimulate osteogenic cells expansion and to accelerate bone tissue regeneration. The goal of the presented study was to optimize the production of titania-based bioactive materials with high porosity and defined nanostructure, which supports the cell viability and growth. We have chosen to our experiments TiO2 nanofibers, produced by chemical oxidation of Ti6Al4V alloy. Fibrous nanocoatings were characterized structurally (X-ray diffraction (XRD)) and morphologically (scanning electron microscopy (SEM)). The wettability of the coatings and their mechanical properties were also evaluated. We have investigated the direct influence of the modified titanium alloy surfaces on the survival and proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue (ADSCs). In parallel, proliferation of bone tissue cells-human osteoblasts MG-63 and connective tissue cells - mouse fibroblasts L929, as well as cell viability in co-cultures (osteoblasts/ADSCs and fibroblasts/ADSCs has been studied. The results of our experiments proved that among all tested nanofibrous coatings, the amorphous titania-based ones were the most optimal scaffolds for the integration and proliferation of ADSCs, fibroblasts, and osteoblasts. Thus, we postulated these scaffolds to have the osteopromotional potential. However, from the co-culture experiments it can be concluded that ADSCs have the ability to functionalize the initially unfavorable surface, and make it suitable for more specialized and demanding cells.

Abstract
This article reports a new process for creating polymer-based nanocomposites with enhanced dispersion of ceramic nanoparticles without using any surfactants, and the resulted changes in their optical and biological properties. Specifically, dispersion of two different ceramic nanoparticles, that is, hydroxyapatite (nHA) and magnesium oxide (nMgO) nanoparticles, in a model biodegradable polymer, namely poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), was studied. High-power sonication was integrated with dual asymmetric centrifugal (DAC) mixing to improve dispersion of nanoparticles during solvent casting. The polymer/solvent ratio was optimized to improve nanoparticle dispersion in the multistep processing, including enhancing the efficacy of sonication and DAC mixing and reducing nanoparticle sedimentation during solvent-casting. Microstructural characterization confirmed that this new process improved nanoparticle dispersion in nMgO/PLGA and nHA/PLGA nanocomposites. Improved nanoparticle dispersion increased the optical transparency visually and optical transmission quantitatively for both nHA/PLGA and nMgO/PLGA nanocomposites. Improved dispersion of nanoparticles improved the adhesion of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on nHA/PLGA but decreased BMSC viability on nMgO/PLGA. This difference is likely because the chemistry of nHA and nMgO had different effects on BMSCs. This study provided a new process for enhancing dispersion of ceramic nanoparticles in a polymer matrix and revealed the effects of dispersion on optical properties and cell responses, which are valuable for engineering optimal ceramic/polymer nanocomposites for different biomedical applications. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Engineering surface wettability is of great importance in academic research and practical applications. The exploration of hydrogel-based natural surfaces with superior properties has revealed new design principles of surface superwettability. Gels are composed of a cross-linked polymer network that traps numerous solvents through weak interactions. The natural fluidity of the trapped solvents confers the liquid-like property to gel surfaces, making them significantly different from solid surfaces. Bioinspired gel surfaces have shown promising applications in diverse fields. This work aims to summarize the fundamental understanding and emerging applications of bioinspired gel surfaces with superwettability and special adhesion. First, several typical hydrogel-based natural surfaces with superwettability and special adhesion are briefly introduced, followed by highlighting the unique properties and design principles of gel-based surfaces. Then, the superwettability and emerging applications of bioinspired gel surfaces, including liquid/liquid separation, antiadhesion of organisms and solids, and fabrication of thin polymer films, are presented in detail. Finally, an outlook on the future development of these novel gel surfaces is also provided.

Abstract
Commercially available strontium isopropoxide represents a suitable catalyst/initiator for the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of lactide (LA), ε-caprolactone, δ-valerolactone, δ-caprolactone, and δ-decalactone. Well-defined polyesters are accessible via the solution polymerization of lactide in toluene with a [LA]:[Sr] ratio of 100:1 at room temperature with or without the addition of dodecanol as coinitiator. Kinetic studies and detailed analysis by means of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry reveal pseudo-first-order kinetics of the ROP as well as excellent endgroup fidelity of the polylactide (PLA) with isopropyl and dodecyl α-endgroups. Both isopropanolate moieties as well as the coinitiator each initiate PLA chains, enabling the synthesis of PLA with tailored molar mass. The polymerization of ε-caprolactone and δ-valerolactone confirms the high catalyst activity, which causes quantitative monomer conversion after 1 min polymerization time but broad molar mass distributions. In contrast, the catalyst is well suited for the ROP of the less reactive δ-caprolactone and δ-decalactone. Although kinetic studies reveal initially bimodal molar mass distributions, polyesters with dispersity values Ð < 1.2 and unimodal molar mass distributions can be obtained at moderate to high monomer conversions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known regarding the interaction of dental implant surface nanotubes and oral soft and hard tissues. The purpose of this study was to evaluate both histologically and radiographically the qualitative and quantitative effects of dental implant surface nanotubes on hard and soft tissue in a canine model. METHODS Three subgroups consisting of a combination of test and control implants and abutments (Group A: control implant/control abutment, Group B: control implant/test abutment: Group C: test implant/test abutment) were placed in edentulous mandibles of six large-breed canines. Implants and abutments were placed on one side at baseline, and on the opposite side of the mandible at week 10; sacrifice occurred at week 12. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were used to measure newly formed hard and soft tissues histologically and radiographically. RESULTS The mean radiographic change in marginal bone level from weeks 0 to 12 between implant groups was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Mean soft tissue contact (junctional epithelium + connective tissue) for Groups A, B, and C were 2.29, 2.33, and 2.31 mm, respectively, with no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05) between the groups. All connective tissue fibers were oriented parallel to the abutment regardless of surface treatment. CONCLUSIONS The findings of this study suggest that healing of hard and soft tissues around implants and abutments is similar when comparing grit-blasted surfaces to machined, turned surfaces with nanotubes. Both resulted in similar soft tissue contact values, as well as connective tissue fiber orientation.

Abstract
Nanoscience becomes one of the most cutting-edge research directions in recent years since it is gradually matured from basic to applied science. Nanoparticles (NPs) and nanomaterials (NMs) play important roles in various aspects of biomedicine science, and their influences on the environment have caused a whole range of uncertainties which require extensive attention. Due to the quantitative and dynamic information provided for human proteome, mass spectrometry (MS)-based quantitative proteomic technique has been a powerful tool for nanomedicine study. In this article, recent trends of progress and development in the nanomedicine of proteomics were discussed from quantification techniques and publicly available resources or tools. First, a variety of popular protein quantification techniques including labeling and label-free strategies applied to nanomedicine studies are overviewed and systematically discussed. Then, numerous protein profiling tools for data processing and postbiological statistical analysis and publicly available data repositories for providing enrichment MS raw data information sources are also discussed.

Abstract
This animal study evaluated the osseointegration level of a new nanotextured titanium surface produced by anodization. Ti-cp micro-implants (1.5 mm diameter by 2.5 mm in length) divided into two groups: titanium nanotextured surface treatment (Test Group) and acid etched surface treatment (Control Group). Surface characterization included morphology analysis using scanning electron microscopy and wettability by measuring contact angle. Sixteen Wistar rats were submitted to two micro implants surgical placement procedures. In each rat, one type of micro implant placed in each tibia. The animals sacrificed after two (T1) and six weeks (T2) post-implantation. After the euthanasia, tibias processed for histomorphometric analysis, which allowed the evaluation of bone to implant contact (BIC) and the bone area fraction occupancy between the threads (BAFO). Our surface analysis data showed that the Control Group exhibited an irregular and non-homogenous topography while the Test Group showed a nanotextured surface. The Test Group showed higher wettability (contact angle = 5.1 ± 0.7°) than the Control Group (contact angle = 75.5 ± 4.6°). Concerning the histomorphometric analysis results for T1, Control and Test groups showed BIC percentages of 41.3 ± 15.2% and 63.1 ± 8.7% (p < 0.05), respectively, and for BAFO, 28.7 ± 13.7% and 54.8 ± 7.5%, respectively (p < 0.05). For T2, the histomorphometric analysis for Control and Test groups showed BIC percentages of 51.2 ± 11.4% and 64.8 ± 7.4% (p < 0.05), respectively and for BAFO, 36.4 ± 10.3% and 57.9 ± 9.3% (p < 0.05), respectively. The findings of the current study confirmed that the novel nanotextured surface exhibited superior wettability, improved peri-implant bone formation, and expedited osseointegration.
