Abstract
The objective of the current study was to create an efficient, minimally invasive combined system comprising in situ forming hydrogel loaded with both spray-dried polymeric nanoparticles encapsulating linezolid and nanohydroxyapatite for local injection to bones or their close vicinity. The developed system was designed for a dual function namely releasing the drug in a sustained manner for long-term treatment of bone infections and supporting bone proliferation and new tissues generation. To achieve these objectives, two release sustainment systems for linezolid were optimized namely a composite in situ forming chitosan hydrogel and spray-dried PLGA/PLA solid nanoparticles. The composite, in situ forming hydrogel of chitosan was prepared using two different gelling agents namely glycerophosphate (GP) and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) at 3 different concentrations each. The spray-dried linezolid-loaded PLGA/PLA nanoparticles were developed using a water-soluble carrier (PVP K30) and a lipid soluble one (cetyl alcohol) along with 3 types of DL-lactide and/or DL-lactide-co-glycolide copolymer using nano-spray-drying technique. Finally, the optimized spray-dried linezolid nanoparticles were incorporated into the optimized composite hydrogel containing nanohydroxy apatite (nHA). The combined hydrogel/nanoparticle systems displayed reasonable injectability with excellent gelation time at 37 °C. The optimum formulae sustained the release of linezolid for 7-10 days, which reveals its ability to reduce the frequency of injection during the course of treatment of bones infections and increase the patients' compliance. They succeeded to alleviate the bone infections and the associated clinical, biochemical, radiological, and histopathological changes within 2-4 weeks of injection. As to the state of art in this study and to the best of our knowledge, no such complete and systematic study on this type of combined in situ forming hydrogel loaded with spray-dried nanoparticles of linezolid is available yet in literatures.

Abstract
Background: To study the feasibility and efficacy of antibiotic cement in preserving endoplants after infection in patients with early tibial plateau fracture on plate exposure. Patients and Methods: A retrospective analysis of 23 patients treated for post-operative infection with plate exposure after tibial plateau fracture between 2017 and 2021. They were divided into the observation group (10 patients) and the control group (13 patients). Total operation time, length of hospitalization, hospitalization cost, the number of surgeries, white blood cell (WBC) count, neutrophil (NEUT) count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), the post-operative evaluation index, and complications were observed during the follow-up period. Results: All patients were followed up for 6 to 12 months; wound healing was observed in both groups. The total operation time for patients in the control group was longer compared with the observation group. However, the length of hospitalization, hospitalization cost, and number of surgeries in the observation group were less compared with the control group. No difference in WBC, NEUT, ESR, and CRP levels was observed one day after surgery. Furthermore, WBC, NEUT, ESR, and CRP levels were higher in patients in the control group compared with the observation group 72 hours after surgery. There were no differences in the post-operative evaluation index and complications in both groups. Conclusions: The antibiotic cement coating used for treating early post-operative infection in patients with tibial plateau fracture could effectively control infection while retaining endoplant, thereby promoting wound healing. It could also reduce pain and the medical burden on patients.

A simple method to improve the antibiotic elution profiles from polymethylmethacrylate bone cement spacers by using rapid absorbable sutures. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2022; 23:916. [PMID: 36242041 PMCID: PMC9563514 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-022-05870-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2022] [Accepted: 10/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Antibiotic-loaded bone cement beads and spacers have been widely used for orthopaedic infection. Poor antibiotic elution is not capable of eradicating microbial pathogens and could lead to treatment failure. The elution profiles differ among different cement formulations. Although Simplex P cement has the least release amount, it is widely used due to its ready availability. Previous methods aiming to improve the elution profiles were not translated well to clinical practice. We sought to address this by using easily available materials to improve the elution profile of antibiotics from PMMA, which allows clinicians to implement the method intraoperatively. METHODS Vancomycin was mixed with Simplex P cement. We used Vicryl Rapide sutures to fabricate sustained-release cement beads by repetitively passing the sutures through the beads and/or mixing suture segments into the cement formulation. Vancomycin elution was measured for 49 days. The mechanism of antibiotic release was observed with gross appearance and scanning electron microscopic images. The antimicrobial activities against MRSA were tested using an agar disk diffusion bioassay. RESULTS Passing Vicryl Rapide sutures through cement beads significantly improved the elution profiles in the 7-week period. The increased ratios were 9.0% on the first day and 118.0% from the 2nd day to the 49th day. Addition of suture segments did not increase release amount. The Vicryl Rapide sutures completely degraded at the periphery and partially degraded at the center. The antibiotic particles were released around the suture, while antibiotic particles kept densely entrapped in the control group. The antimicrobial activities were stronger in passing suture groups. CONCLUSION Passing fast absorbable sutures through PMMA cement is a feasible method to fabricate sustained-release antibiotic bone cement. Intra-cement tunnels can be formed, and the effect can last for at least 7 weeks. It is suitable for a temporary spacer between two stages of a revision surgery.

Abstract
Biofilms are part of the natural lifecycle of bacteria and are known to cause chronic infections that are difficult to treat. Most antibiotics are developed and tested against bacteria in the planktonic state and are ineffective against bacterial biofilms. The oxazolidinones, including the last resort drug linezolid, are one of the main classes of synthetic antibiotics progressed to clinical use in the last 50 years. They have a unique mechanism of action and only develop low levels of resistance in the clinical setting. With the aim of providing insight into strategies to design more potent antibiotic compounds with activity against bacterial biofilms, we review the biofilm activity of clinically approved oxazolidinones and report on structural modifications to oxazolidinones and their delivery systems which lead to enhanced anti-biofilm activity.

Abstract
Chronic infections are one of the most serious adverse outcomes of prosthetic surgery. Prosthetic revision surgery using a bone cement loaded with antibiotics between the two stages of the surgery is commonly performed. However, this method often fails to reach the minimum inhibitory concentration and promotes antibiotic resistance, thus emphasizing the need for improving the current available therapies. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we performed a study of the in vivo response of a polymer-based construct of poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) in the solid phase of Palacos R® in combination with vancomycin, daptomycin, and/or linezolid. To test its effectiveness, we applied an in vivo model, using both histological and immunohistochemical analyses to study the bone tissue. RESULTS The presence of PLGA in the combination of vancomycin with daptomycin showed the most promising results regarding the preservation of bone cytoarchitecture and S. aureus elimination. Conversely, the combination of vancomycin plus linezolid was associated with a loss of bone cytoarchitecture, probably related to an increased macrophage response and inefficient antimicrobial activity. CONCLUSIONS The modification of Palacos R® bone cement with PLGA microspheres and its doping with the antibiotic daptomycin in combination with vancomycin improve the tissue response to bone infection.

Abstract
PMMA bone cements are mainly used to fix implanted prostheses and are introduced as a fluid mixture, which hardens over time. The problem of infected prosthesis could be solved due to the development of some new antibacterial bone cements. In this paper, we show the results obtained to develop four different modified PMMA bone cements by using antimicrobial additives, such as gentamicin, peppermint oil incorporated in hydroxyapatite, and silver nanoparticles incorporated in a ceramic glass matrix (2 and 4%). The structure and morphology of the modified bone cements were investigated by SEM and EDS. We perform experimental measurements on wettability, hydration degree, and degradation degree after immersion in simulated body fluid. The cytotoxicity was evaluated by MTT assay using the human MG-63 cell line. Antimicrobial properties were checked against standard strains Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans. The addition of antimicrobial agents did not significantly affect the hydration and degradation degree. In terms of biocompatibility assessed by the MTT test, all experimental PMMA bone cements are biocompatible. The performance of bone cements with peppermint essential oil and silver nanoparticles against these two pathogens suggests that these antibacterial additives look promising to be used in clinical practice against bacterial infection.

Abstract
Chronic osteomyelitis is a challenging disease due to its serious rates of mortality and morbidity while the currently available treatment strategies are suboptimal. In contrast to the adopted systemic treatment approaches after surgical debridement in chronic osteomyelitis, local drug delivery systems are receiving great attention in the recent decades. Local drug delivery systems using special carriers have the pros of enhancing the feasibility of penetration of antimicrobial agents to bone tissues, providing sustained release and localized concentrations of the antimicrobial agents in the infected area while avoiding the systemic side effects and toxicity. Most important, the incorporation of osteoinductive and osteoconductive materials in these systems assists bones proliferation and differentiation, hence the generation of new bone materials is enhanced. Some of these systems can also provide mechanical support for the long bones during the healing process. Most important, if the local systems are designed to be injectable to the affected site and biodegradable, they will reduce the level of invasion required for implantation and can win the patients’ compliance and reduce the healing period. They will also allow multiple injections during the course of therapy to guard against the side effect of the long-term systemic therapy. The current review presents different available approaches for delivering antimicrobial agents for the treatment of osteomyelitis focusing on the recent advances in researches for local delivery of antibiotics.HIGHLIGHTS Chronic osteomyelitis is a challenging disease due to its serious mortality and morbidity rates and limited effective treatment options.

Abstract
Bone cement, consisting of polymethyl methacrylate, is a bioinert material used for prothesis fixation in joint arthroplasty. To treat orthopedic infections, such as periprosthetic joint infection, antibiotic-loaded bone cement (ALBC) was introduced into clinical practice. Recent studies have revealed the limitations of the antibacterial effect of ALBC. Moreover, with the increase in high infection risk patients and highly resistant microbes, more researches and modification of ALBC are required. This paper reviewed latest findings about ALBC for most popular and destructive pathogens, summarized the influence of antibiotic kind, drug dosage, application method, and environment towards characteristic of ALBC. Subsequently, new cement additives and clinical applications of ALBC in joint arthroplasty were also discussed.

Abstract
Acrylic bone cements (ABCs) have played a key role in orthopedic surgery mainly in arthroplasties, but their use is increasingly extending to other applications, such as remodeling of cancerous bones, cranioplasties, and vertebroplasties. However, these materials present some limitations related to their inert behavior and the risk of infection after implantation, which leads to a lack of attachment and makes necessary new surgical interventions. In this research, the physicochemical, thermal, mechanical, and biological properties of ABCs modified with chitosan (CS) and graphene oxide (GO) were studied. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman mapping, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), compression resistance, mechanical dynamic analysis (DMA), hydrolytic degradation, cell viability, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity with human osteoblasts (HOb), and antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli were used to characterize the ABCs. The results revealed good dispersion of GO nanosheets in the ABCs. GO provided an increase in antibacterial activity, roughness, and flexural behavior, while CS generated porosity, increased the rate of degradation, and decreased compression properties. All ABCs were not cytotoxic and support good cell viability of HOb. The novel formulation of ABCs containing GO and CS simultaneously, increased the thermal stability, flexural modulus, antibacterial behavior, and osteogenic activity, which gives it a high potential for its uses in orthopedic applications.

Abstract
Joint prostheses are an essential element to improve quality of life. However, prostheses may fail due to several factors, including the most frequent cause, Staphylococcus aureus infection. The identification of new fixing bone cements with less reactivity on bone tissue and an adequate response to infection remains a primary challenge. The aim of this study is to evaluate the response of bone tissue in rabbits after introduction of a hydroxyapatite‐coated titanium rod with a commercial fixative cement (Palacos®) compared to a modified experimental cement (EC) containing polylactic‐co‐glycolic acid (PLGA) microspheres in the presence or absence of contaminating germs. This study used 20 New Zealand rabbits which were divided into four groups (n = 5) depending on the presence or absence of S. aureus and the use of commercial (Palacos®) or EC. A histological method, based on bone architecture damage, was proposed to evaluate from 1 to 9 the histological results and the response of the infected tissue. The macrophage response was also evaluated using monoclonal antibody RAM‐11. The study showed better bone conservation with the use of EC with PLGA microspheres against the Palacos® commercial cement, including the noncontaminated and contaminated groups. © 2019 The Authors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the in vivo behaviour of a new bone cement loaded with antibiotics, in a rabbit bone infection model. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixteen New Zealand rabbits divided into 4 groups were used, depending on the cement (commercial or experimental) and the antibiotic (vancomycin or linezolid) used to control a bone infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus. The commercial cement is Palacos® R and the experimental cement has been achieved by adding PLGA to the solid phase of Palacos® R cement. A novel histological staging method based on bone histoarchitecture has been used. This staging allows us a global vision of bone repair capacity, in the presence of modified cement, and also allows us to correlate the damage generated with the functionality of the tissue. RESULTS The degree of bone destructuration found depended on the type of cement and antibiotic, and was higher in the groups with commercial cement than in the experimental group (P<.01) and in the groups with linezolid with respect to vancomycin (P=.04) The percentage of macrophages varied exclusively depending on the antibiotic used, and was higher in the vancomycin groups (P=.04). DISCUSSION The development of new formulations of bone cement that release more, and more prolonged, new generation antibiotics such as linezolid, present an in vivo behaviour superior to commercial cement, respecting the bone structure. This behaviour would have a clinical implication in fighting infections by increasingly resistant germs in the treatment of prosthetic infection.

Comparison of Elution Characteristics and Compressive Strength of Biantibiotic-Loaded PMMA Bone Cement for Spacers: Copal® Spacem with Gentamicin and Vancomycin versus Palacos® R+G with Vancomycin. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2018; 2018:4323518. [PMID: 30410931 PMCID: PMC6206524 DOI: 10.1155/2018/4323518] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2018] [Revised: 08/24/2018] [Accepted: 09/26/2018] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Purpose Copal® spacem is a new PMMA bone cement for fabricating spacers. This study compares elution of gentamicin, elution of vancomycin, and compressive strength of Copal® spacem and of Palacos® R+G at different vancomycin loadings in the powder of the cements. We hypothesized that antibiotic elution of Copal® spacem is superior at comparable compressive strength. Methods Compression test specimens were fabricated using Copal® spacem manually loaded with 0.5 g gentamicin and additionally 2 g, 4 g, and 6 g of vancomycin per 40 g of cement powder (COP specimens) and using 0.5 g gentamicin premixed Palacos® R+G manually loaded with 2 g, 4 g, and 6 g of vancomycin per 40 g of cement powder (PAL specimens). These specimens were used for determination of gentamicin and vancomycin elution (in fetal calf serum, at 22°C) and for determination of compressive strength both prior and following the elution tests. Results Cumulative gentamicin concentrations (p < 0.005) and gentamicin concentration after 28 days (p ≤ 0.043) were significantly lower for COP specimens compared to PAL specimens. Cumulative vancomycin concentrations were significantly higher (p ≤ 0.043) for COP specimens after the second day. Vancomycin concentrations after 28 days were not significantly higher for the Copal specimens loaded with 2 g and 4 g of vancomycin. Compressive strength was not significantly different between COP specimens and PAL specimens before elution tests. Compressive strength after the elution tests was significantly lower (p = 0.005) for COP specimens loaded with 2 g of vancomycin. Conclusion We could not demonstrate consistent superior antibiotic elution from Copal® spacem compared to Palacos® R+G for fabricating gentamicin and vancomycin loaded spacers. The results do not favor Copal® spacem over Palacos® R+G for the use as a gentamicin and vancomycin biantibiotic-loaded spacer.

Abstract
PURPOSE Antibiotic-loaded acrylic cement (ALAC) spacers are useful for treatment of infected prostheses in the course of a two-stage revision. Spacers are handmade or are made using a commercial template, with reportedly good treatment outcomes. This study aimed to confirm the usefulness of custom-made ALAC spacers shaped like bipolar hip prostheses using a dental silicone template for treatment of infected hip prostheses, and described their manufacture. METHODS This study evaluated 10 patients who underwent two-stage revision for treatment of infected hip prostheses. Custom-made ALAC spacers were used in all patients. Templates were made with dental silicone. We investigated the following in treatment of the infected hip prostheses: bacterial pathogens; antibiotic-cement mixtures; waiting time to revision; dislocation, breakage, and migration of custom-made ALAC spacers; current hip status; progress during follow-up; presence or absence of recurrence; and walking ability. RESULTS Dislocation, breakage, and migration were not observed in custom-made ALAC spacers. All patients recovered after two-stage revision without additional surgery and showed no recurrence during the follow-up period. CONCLUSION Custom-made ALAC spacers shaped like bipolar hip prostheses using a template made of dental silicone may be useful for treatment of infected hip prostheses.
