Abstract
Due to its resemblance to the bone, hydroxyapatite (HA) has been widely used for bioactive surface modification of orthopedic implants. However, it undergoes significant thermal decomposition and phase transformations at a high operating temperature, leading to premature implant failure. This investigation uses high-velocity air-fuel (HVAF) spray, an emerging low-temperature thermal spray technique, to deposit HA over the Ti-6Al-4V substrate. Coating characteristics, such as the crystallinity index and phase analysis, were measured using X-ray diffraction, Raman analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, residual stress using the sin2ψ method, and tribological performance by a fretting wear test. The coating retained an over 90% crystallinity index, a crystallite size of 41.04 nm, a compressive residual stress of -229 ± 34.5 MPa, and a wear rate of 1.532 × 10-3 mm3 N-1 m-1. Computational in-flight particle traits of HA particles (5 to 60 μm) were analyzed using computational fluid dynamics; it showed that 90% of particles were deposited at a 700 to 1000 m/s velocity and a 900 to 1450 K temperature with a 2.1 ms mean residence time. In-flight particle oxidation was minimized, and particle impact deformation was maximized, which caused severe plastic deformation, forming crystalline, compressive residual stressed coatings. The thermal decomposition model of low-temperature HVAF-sprayed HA particles helped to understand the implants' crystallinity index, residual stress, and tribological characteristics. Hence, this experimental and computational analysis shows that the HVAF process can be a promising candidate for biomedical applications for having strong and durable implants.

Dorozhkin SV. There Are over 60 Ways to Produce Biocompatible Calcium Orthophosphate (CaPO4) Deposits on Various Substrates. JOURNAL OF COMPOSITES SCIENCE 2023; 7:273.

Abstract
A The present overview describes various production techniques for biocompatible calcium orthophosphate (abbreviated as CaPO4) deposits (coatings, films and layers) on the surfaces of various types of substrates to impart the biocompatible properties for artificial bone grafts. Since, after being implanted, the grafts always interact with the surrounding biological tissues at the interfaces, their surface properties are considered critical to clinical success. Due to the limited number of materials that can be tolerated in vivo, a new specialty of surface engineering has been developed to desirably modify any unacceptable material surface characteristics while maintaining the useful bulk performance. In 1975, the development of this approach led to the emergence of a special class of artificial bone grafts, in which various mechanically stable (and thus suitable for load-bearing applications) implantable biomaterials and artificial devices were coated with CaPO4. Since then, more than 7500 papers have been published on this subject and more than 500 new publications are added annually. In this review, a comprehensive analysis of the available literature has been performed with the main goal of finding as many deposition techniques as possible and more than 60 methods (double that if all known modifications are counted) for producing CaPO4 deposits on various substrates have been systematically described. Thus, besides the introduction, general knowledge and terminology, this review consists of two unequal parts. The first (bigger) part is a comprehensive summary of the known CaPO4 deposition techniques both currently used and discontinued/underdeveloped ones with brief descriptions of their major physical and chemical principles coupled with the key process parameters (when possible) to inform readers of their existence and remind them of the unused ones. The second (smaller) part includes fleeting essays on the most important properties and current biomedical applications of the CaPO4 deposits with an indication of possible future developments.

Nature-Inspired Effects of Naturally Occurring Trace Element-Doped Hydroxyapatite Combined with Surface Interactions of Mineral-Apatite Single Crystals on Human Fibroblast Behavior. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23020802.

Abstract
Innovative engineering design for biologically active hydroxyapatites requires enhancing both mechanical and physical properties, along with biocompatibility, by doping with appropriate chemical elements. Herein, the purpose of this investigation was to evaluate and elucidate the model of naturally occurring hydroxyapatite and the effects of doped trace elements on the function of normal human fibroblasts, representing the main cells of connective tissues. The substrates applied (geological apatites with hexagonal prismatic crystal habit originated from Slyudyanka, Lake Baikal, Russia (GAp) and from Imilchil, The Atlas Mountains, Morocco (YAp)) were prepared from mineral natural apatite with a chemical composition consistent with the building blocks of enamel and enriched with a significant F− content. Materials in the form of powders, extracts and single-crystal plates have been investigated. Moreover, the effects on the function of fibroblasts cultured on the analyzed surfaces in the form of changes in metabolic activity, proliferation and cell morphology were evaluated. Apatite plates were also evaluated for cytotoxicity and immune cell activation capacity. The results suggest that a moderate amount of F− has a positive effect on cell proliferation, whereas an inhibitory effect was attributed to the Cl− concentration. It was found that for (100) GAp plate, fibroblast proliferation was significantly increased, whereas for (001) YAp plate, it was significantly reduced, with no cytotoxic effect and no immune response from macrophages exposed to these materials. The study of the interaction of fibroblasts with apatite crystal surfaces provides a characterization relevant to medical applications and may contribute to the design of biomaterials suitable for medical applications and the evaluation of their bioavailability.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing concept has been successfully employed in regenerative medicine to achieve individualized therapy due to its benefit of a rapid, accurate, and predictable production process. Traditional biocomposites scaffolds (SCF) are primarily utilised for bone tissue engineering; nevertheless, over the last few years, there has already been a dramatic shift in the applications of bioceramic (BCR) SCF. As a direct consequence, this study focused on the structural, degeneration, permeation, and physiological activity of 3D-printed BCR (3DP-B) SCF with various conformations and work systems (macros, micros, and nanos ranges), as well as their impacts on the mechanical, degeneration, porosity, and physiological activities. In addition, 3DP-B SCF are highlighted in this study for potential uses applied from bone tissue engineering (BTE) to bone tumor treatment. The study focused on significant advances in practical 3DP-B SCF that can be utilized for tumor treatment as well as bone tissue regeneration (BTR). Given the difficulties in treating bone tumors, these operational BCR SCF offer a lot of promise in mending bone defects caused by surgery and killing any remaining tumor cells to accomplish bone tumor treatment. Furthermore, a quick assessment of future developments in this subject was presented. The study not only summarizes recent advances in BCR engineering, but it also proposes a new therapeutic strategy focused on the extension of conventional ceramics' multifunction to a particular diagnosis.

Abstract
Toward the aim of personalized treatment, three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has been widely used in bone tissue engineering owing to its advantage of a fast, precise, and controllable fabrication process. Conventional bioceramic scaffolds are mainly used for bone tissue engineering; however, there has been a significant change in the application of bioceramic scaffolds during the past several years. Therefore, this review focuses on 3D-printed bioceramic scaffolds with different compositions and hierarchical structures (macro, micro, and nano scales), and their effects on the mechanical, degradation, permeability, and biological properties. Further, this review highlights 3D-printed bioceramic scaffolds for applications extending from bone tissue regeneration to bone tumor therapy. This review emphasizes recent developments in functional 3D-printed bioceramic scaffolds with the ability to be used for both tumor therapy and bone tissue regeneration. Considering the challenges in bone tumor therapy, these functional bioceramic scaffolds have a great potential in repairing bone defects induced by surgery and kill the possibly residual tumor cells to achieve bone tumor therapy. Finally, a brief perspective regarding future directions in this field was also provided. The review not only gives a summary of the research developments in bioceramic science but also offers a new therapy strategy by extending multifunctions of traditional biomaterials toward a specific disease. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE This review outlines the development tendency of 3D-printed bioceramic scaffolds for applications ranging from bone tissue regeneration to bone tumor therapy.

Abstract
Since various interactions among cells, surrounding tissues and implanted biomaterials always occur at their interfaces, the surface properties of potential implants appear to be of paramount importance for the clinical success. In view of the fact that a limited amount of materials appear to be tolerated by living organisms, a special discipline called surface engineering was developed to initiate the desirable changes to the exterior properties of various materials but still maintaining their useful bulk performances. In 1975, this approach resulted in the introduction of a special class of artificial bone grafts, composed of various mechanically stable (consequently, suitable for load bearing applications) implantable biomaterials and/or bio-devices covered by calcium orthophosphates (CaPO4) to both improve biocompatibility and provide an adequate bonding to the adjacent bones. Over 5000 publications on this topic were published since then. Therefore, a thorough analysis of the available literature has been performed and about 50 (this number is doubled, if all possible modifications are counted) deposition techniques of CaPO4 have been revealed, systematized and described. These CaPO4 deposits (coatings, films and layers) used to improve the surface properties of various types of artificial implants are the topic of this review.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite [Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2; HAp] is the mineral component of vertebrate hard tissues and an important raw material for biomaterials. The HAp crystal belongs to a hexagonal system and has two types of crystal plane with different atomic arrangements: positively charged calcium ions are mainly present in the a(b)-planes, while negatively charged phosphate ions and hydroxyl groups are mainly present in the c-planes. In vertebrate long bone surfaces, HAp crystals have a c-axis orientation, which leads to the development of the a(b)-plane; while in tooth enamel surfaces, they have an a(b)-axis orientation, which leads to the development of the c-plane. However, it is not clear why the orientations of long bone and tooth enamel are in different crystal planes. In order to clarify this question, we have synthesized single-crystal apatite particles with preferred orientation to the a- and c-axes as models for bone and teeth enamel. This review first describes the syntheses process of single-crystal apatite particles with preferred orientation to a(b)- and c-axes and then discusses specific protein adsorption to the crystal surface of the resulting plate- and fiber-shaped apatite particles with different surface charges. In addition, porous apatite-fiber scaffolds (AFSs) fabricated using the fiber-shaped apatite particles and their application to tissue engineering of bone are described on the basis of the three-dimensional cell culture of mesenchymal stem cells derived from rat bone marrow using the AFS settled into a radial-flow bioreactor.

Abstract
In vertebrate bones and tooth enamel surfaces, the respective a,b-planes and c-planes of hydroxyapatite (HAp) crystals are preferentially exposed. However, the reason why the HAp crystals show different orientations depending on the type of hard tissues is not yet understood. To clarify this question, appropriate ceramic models with highly preferred orientation are necessary. In the present study, dense HAp ceramic models which have the same orientation as living bones were fabricated using composite powders of c-axis-oriented single-crystal apatite fibers (AF) and wet-synthesized apatite gels (AG). The results of crystalline identification and ultrastructural observation showed that the resulting HAp ceramics maintained the c-axis orientation of the AF particles, and their high a,b-plane orientation degrees could be maintained with small additive amounts of AG; however, when the AG content was over 30 mass%, this value decreased. The influence of orientation degree on the surface characteristics was investigated by evaluating the surface zeta-potential and wettability. These results show that increasing the a,b-plane orientation degree shifted the surface charge from negative to positive, and decreased the surface wettability. Initial cell-attachment assays were performed on these resulting ceramics using MC3T3-E1 cells as models of osteoblasts. The results show that the cell-attachment efficiency decreased with increasing a,b-plane orientation degree.

Abstract
Tightly bonding of bioactive coating is the first crucial need for orthopaedic implants. This study describes a novel and convenient technique to prepare bioactive coating with high adhesion on orthopaedic substitutes made of polymeric matrix. Here, a chemical corrosion method has been adopted to fabricate a coating on the surface of injection-moulded polyamide66 (PA66) substrates by corrosive nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide66 (n-HA/PA66) composite slurry. Scanning electron microscopy observation shows that a porous chemical corrosion region presents between the coating and dense PA66 substrate. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis indicates that the chemical corrosion region is mainly composed of PA66 matrix, and the coating layer is an n-HA-rich layer. Both the pore size and n-HA composition increase gradually from the polymeric substrate towards the coating surface. Mechanical testing shows the bonding strength can reach 13.7 ± 0.2 MPa, which is much higher than that fabricated on polymeric matrix by other coating methods. The gradual transition in coating structure and composition benefits for the interface bonding and for the surface bone-bonding bioactivity. Subsequent cell experiments corroborate n-HA-rich coating and a porous structure is benefitting for cell attachment and proliferation. The convenient coating method could be popularized and applied on similar polymer implants to produce a tightly and porous bioactive coating for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Coating characteristics such as composition, crystallite features and topography collectively impact the cell response. The influence from splats has not yet been assessed for hydroxyapatite (HAp) thermal spray coatings. The objective of this work is to (a) survey the topography on commercial implants, (b) ascertain topography formation from single splats, and (c) determine the osteoclast resorption pattern on a topographically refined coating compared to dentine. Coatings on dental implants, an orthopedic screw, a femoral stem and a knee implant were studied for reference. The effects of substrate pre-heat, roughness, spray distance and particle size on the coating roughness and topography were studied. Human-derived osteoclasts were placed on a coating with refined topography and compared to dentine, a polished coating and polished sintered HAp. A pre-heat of at least 200°C on titanium was required to form rounded splats. The greatest influence on coating roughness and topography arose from particle size. A 2-fold increase in the mean particle size from 30 to 72 μm produced a significant difference (P<0.001) in roughness from 4.8 and 9.7 μm. A model is shown to illustrate topography formation, nanostructure evolution on single splats, and the topography as seen in commercial implants. Osteoclasts showed a clear preference for activity on coatings with refined topography. A one-way ANOVA test revealed a significantly greater pit depth (P=0.022) for dentine (14 μm) compared to the as-sprayed and polished coating (5 μm). Coatings with topography display a similar number of resorption pits with dentine, but a 10-fold greater number than polished coatings, emphasizing the importance of flattened droplet topography on implant surfaces.

Abstract
A novel cold spraying system for fabricating hydroxyapatite coatings on titanium and titanium alloy substrates is introduced in this paper. A description of the system components is presented. It is expected that the system could provide an effective method to improve deposition efficiency and compactness of hydroxyapatite coating. The addition of substrate heater helps to create dense and adherent coatings. It is found that the system could make feedstock hydroxyapatite particles be accelerated to high impact velocity. Hydroxyapatite coatings that preserve the chemical composition and microstructure of feedstock hydroxyapatite powders are obtained.

Bioactive ceramic coating of cancellous screws improves the osseointegration in the cancellous bone. J Orthop Sci 2011; 16:291-7.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A number of methods for coating implants with bioactive ceramics have been reported to improve osseointegration in bone, but the effects of bioactive ceramic coatings on the osseointegration of cancellous screws are not known. Accordingly, biomechanical and histomorphometric analyses of the bone-screw interface of uncoated cancellous screws and cancellous screws coated with four different bioactive ceramics were performed. METHODS After coating titanium alloy cancellous screws with calcium pyrophosphate (CPP), CaO-SiO(2)-B(2)O(3) glass-ceramics (CSG), apatite-wollastonite 1:3 glass-ceramics (W3G), and CaO-SiO(2)-P(2)O(5)-B(2)O(3) glass-ceramics (BGS-7) using an enameling method, the coated and the uncoated screws were inserted into the proximal tibia and distal femur metaphysis of seven male mongrel dogs. The torque values of the screws were measured at the time of insertion and at removal after 8 weeks. The bone-screw contact ratio was analyzed by histomorphometry. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the insertion torque between the uncoated and coated screws. The torque values of the CPP and BGS-7 groups measured at removal after 8 weeks were significantly higher than those of the uncoated group. Moreover, the values of the CPP and BGS-7 groups were significantly higher than the insertion torques. The fraction of bone-screw interface measured from the undecalcified histological slide showed that the CPP, W3G, and BGS-7 groups had significantly higher torque values in the cortical bone area than the uncoated group, and the CPP and BGS-7 groups had significantly higher torque values in the cancellous bone area than the uncoated group. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, a cancellous screw coated with CPP and BGS-7 ceramic bonds directly to cancellous bone to improve the bone-implant osseointegration. This may broaden the indications for cancellous screws by clarifying their contribution to improving osseointegration, even in the cancellous bone area.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a calcium phosphate ceramics and HA coating is essential for the medical metallic implants. This paper presents a novel cold spraying method for the formation of HA coatings instead of the commonly used thermal spraying method. The HA particle velocity in the cold spraying process is investigated numerically using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) program, FLUENT. Stress is laid on how the geometric parameters of the nozzle and the process parameters influence the particle velocity. A Taguchi’s orthogonal array is employed to arrange the simulation conditions and the simulation results are analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) method to reveal the main factors influencing HA particle acceleration significantly. The changes of the HA particle velocity under different cold spraying conditions are simulated to clarify the effects of the nozzle geometry, accelerating gas condition and property of particle itself on HA particle acceleration.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of ionic dissolution products released from dicalcium silicate (DS) coatings on human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC), cultured in the presence or absence of the dissolution products, with or without osteogenic supplements (OS). DS+ medium promoted cell proliferation during the first 4 days, but then inhibited proliferation. DS+OS− medium increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity on day 14, and upregulated runt-related transcription factor 2 and osteonectin mRNA on days 7 and 14, respectively. The addition of osteogenic supplements (DS+OS+) led to a significant increase in ALP activity from days 7 to 21, upregulation of osteogenic markers on day 14, and formation of more mineralized nodules on day 28. The results demonstrated that the ionic dissolution products from DS coating alone can partly induce osteogenic differentiation of hMSC, and that the addition of osteogenic supplements further enhances osteoblast-specific gene expression and mineralization in hMSC.

Abstract
Bioactive hydroxyapatite (HA) coating on titanium (Ti) implant can be used as a drug delivery device. A controlled release of drug around the implant requires the incorporation of drug into the coating material during the coating process. HA coating was prepared using a two-step procedure in conditions suitable for simultaneous incorporation of the protein-based drug into the coating material. Monetite coating was deposited on Ti substrate in acidic condition followed by the transformation of the monetite coating to HA. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the formation of the monetite phase at the first step of the coating preparation, which was transformed into HA at the second step. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy demonstrated typical bands of a crystallized carbonated HA with A- and B-type substitution, which was confirmed by the XRD refinement of the structural parameters. Scanning electron microscope was used to observe the morphology of monetite and HA coatings. Adhesion of the coatings was measured using a scratch tester. The critical shearing stress was found to be 84.20 ± 1.27 MPa for the monetite coating, and 44.40 ± 2.39 MPa for the HA coating.

Abstract
Monoclinic tetracalcium phosphate (TTCP, Ca(4)(PO(4))(2)O), also known by the mineral name hilgenstockite, is formed in the (CaO-P(2)O(5)) system at temperatures>1300 degrees C. TTCP is the only calcium phosphate with a Ca/P ratio greater than hydroxyapatite (HA). It appears as a by-product in plasma-sprayed HA coatings and shows moderate reactivity and concurrent solubility when combined with acidic calcium phosphates such as dicalcium phosphate anhydrous (DCPA, monetite) or dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD, brushite). Therefore it is widely used in self-setting calcium phosphate bone cements, which form HA under physiological conditions. This paper aims to review the synthesis and properties of TTCP in biomaterials applications such as cements, sintered ceramics and coatings on implant metals.

Abstract
The protein adsorption behavior was investigated for highly (001) oriented
hydroxypatatite coatings (HACs). Highly (001) oriented (HO-) HACs and HAC with low
orientation (LO-HAC) were prepared on titanium (Ti) substrates through a radio-frequency thermal
plasma spraying method. Sintered HA pellets (S-HA) was also prepared as a control. The solution
of 22 'g/100 'l PBS of the fluorescein-isothiocyanate (FITC) labeled bovine serum albumin
(FITC-BSA), immunoglobulin G (FITC-IgG) and cytochrom c (FITC-CCC) was separately
dropped on the surface of HACs and was incubated for 30 min. After the incubation, such HACs
were washed with the PBS additionally supplemented with 125mM NaCl and observed using a
fluorescence microscope. Fluorescence microscopic examination indicates that FITC labeled
proteins somewhat adsorbed on the HACs, while proteins adsorbed little on S-HA surface. In
particular, it can be seen that FITC-CCC adsorbed more prominently on the HO-HAC.
