Synthesis of High-Purity Hydroxyapatite and Phosphoric Acid Derived from Moroccan Natural Phosphate Rocks by Minimizing Cation Content Using Dissolution-Precipitation Technique. Molecules 2024; 29:3854. [PMID: 39202932 PMCID: PMC11357432 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29163854] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2024] [Revised: 08/08/2024] [Accepted: 08/10/2024] [Indexed: 09/03/2024] Open
Abstract
This study investigates, in the first part, the synthesis and purification of a poorly crystalline hydroxyapatite (HAp) using natural Moroccan phosphate (Boucraa region) as a raw material. Despite its successful preparation, the obtained HAp was contaminated by several metallic cations (mostly Cd, Pb, Sn, Ti, Mn, Mg, Fe, and Al) migrated from the natural rocks during the digestion process, inhibiting HAp application in several sectors. To minimize the existence of these elements, the dissolution-precipitation technique (DP) was investigated as a non-selective purification process. Following the initial DP cycle conducted on the precipitated HAp, the removal efficiency was approximately 60% for Al, Fe, Mg, Mn, and Ti and 90% for Cd and Pb. After three consecutive DP cycles, notable improvement in the removal efficiency was observed, reaching 66% for Fe, 69% for Mg, 73% for Mn, and 74% for Al, while Cd, Pb, and Ti were totally removed. In the second part of this study, the purified HAp was digested using sulfuric acid to produce high-quality phosphoric acid (PA) and gypsum (GP). The elemental analysis of the PA indicates a removal efficiency of approximately 89% for Fe and over 94% for all the examined cations. In addition, the generated GP was dominated by SO3 and CaO accompanied with minor impurities. Overall, this simple process proves to be practically useful, to reduce a broad spectrum of cationic impurities, and to be flexible to prepare valuable products such hydroxyapatite, phosphoric acid, and gypsum.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2403641. [PMID: 38861754 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202403641] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024]
Abstract
The repair and functional reconstruction of bone defects resulting from severe trauma, surgical resection, degenerative disease, and congenital malformation pose significant clinical challenges. Bone tissue engineering (BTE) holds immense potential in treating these severe bone defects, without incurring prevalent complications associated with conventional autologous or allogeneic bone grafts. 3D printing technology enables control over architectural structures at multiple length scales and has been extensively employed to process biomimetic scaffolds for BTE. In contrast to inert and functional bone grafts, next-generation smart scaffolds possess a remarkable ability to mimic the dynamic nature of native extracellular matrix (ECM), thereby facilitating bone repair and regeneration. Additionally, they can generate tailored and controllable therapeutic effects, such as antibacterial or antitumor properties, in response to exogenous and/or endogenous stimuli. This review provides a comprehensive assessment of the progress of 3D-printed smart scaffolds for BTE applications. It begins with an introduction to bone physiology, followed by an overview of 3D printing technologies utilized for smart scaffolds. Notable advances in various stimuli-responsive strategies, therapeutic efficacy, and applications of 3D-printed smart scaffolds are discussed. Finally, the review highlights the existing challenges in the development and clinical implementation of smart scaffolds, as well as emerging technologies in this field.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite [HA, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2], with its robust biocompatibility and bioactivity, has found extensive utility in bone grafting, replacement therapies, and supplemental medical materials. HA is highly regarded for its osteoconductive properties because it boasts hydrophilicity, nontoxicity, non-allergenicity, and non-mutagenicity. Nevertheless, HA's intrinsic mechanical weakness has spurred efforts to enhance its properties. This enhancement is achieved through ion incorporation, with elements such as magnesium, zinc, lithium, strontium, boron, and others being integrated into the HA structure. In the domain of orthopedics, HA-based scaffolds have emerged as a solution for addressing prevalent issues like bone deformities and defects stemming from congenital anomalies, injuries, trauma, infections, or tumors. The fabrication of three-dimensional scaffolds (3D scaffolds) has enabled advancements in bone regeneration and replacement, with a focus on practical applications such as repairing calvarial, skull, and femoral defects. In vitro and in vivo assessments have substantiated the effectiveness of 3D scaffolds for bone defect repair, regeneration, and tissue engineering. Beyond bone-related applications, scaffolds demonstrate versatility in enhancing cartilage healing and serving as bioimplants. The wide array of scaffold applications underscores their ongoing potential for further development in the realm of medical science.

Abstract
Bone tumors, particularly osteosarcoma, are prevalent among children and adolescents. This ailment has emerged as the second most frequent cause of cancer-related mortality in adolescents. Conventional treatment methods comprise extensive surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Consequently, the management of bone tumors and bone regeneration poses significant clinical challenges. Photothermal tumor therapy has attracted considerable attention owing to its minimal invasiveness and high selectivity. However, key challenges have limited its widespread clinical use. Enhancing the tumor specificity of photosensitizers through targeting or localized activation holds potential for better outcomes with fewer adverse effects. Combinations with chemotherapies or immunotherapies also present avenues for improvement. In this review, we provide an overview of the most recent strategies aimed at overcoming the limitations of photothermal therapy (PTT), along with current research directions in the context of bone tumors, including (1) target strategies, (2) photothermal therapy combined with multiple therapies (immunotherapies, chemotherapies, and chemodynamic therapies, magnetic, and photodynamic therapies), and (3) bifunctional scaffolds for photothermal therapy and bone regeneration. We delve into the pros and cons of these combination methods and explore current research focal points. Lastly, we address the challenges and prospects of photothermal combination therapy.

Abstract
Non-invasive external energy triggered efficient tumor therapy is a promising specific treatment strategy. Herein, a composite material of bismuth sodium titanate (BNT) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) with piezoelectric effect was designed for the synergistic treatment of breast cancer with near-infrared-II (NIR-II) light and ultrasound (US) activation. The BNT@MoS2 exhibit excellent photothermal and acoustic properties upon excitation by 1060 nm NIR-II laser and US, respectively. The synergistic effect of hyperthermia and reactive oxygen species (ROS) under photoacoustic action endows the BNT@MoS2 with remarkable anti-tumor activities, enabling them to eradicate breast cancer cells within 10 min. The work could provide new insights into the treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy is a promising approach to cancer treatment. The energy generated by the photothermal effect can effectively inhibit the growth of cancer cells without harming normal tissues, while the right amount of heat can also promote cell proliferation and accelerate tissue regeneration. Various nanomaterials have recently been used as photothermal agents (PTAs). The photothermal composite scaffolds can be obtained by introducing PTAs into bone tissue engineering (BTE) scaffolds, which produces a photothermal effect that can be used to ablate bone cancer with subsequent further use of the scaffold as a support to repair the bone defects created by ablation of osteosarcoma. Osteosarcoma is the most common among primary bone malignancies. However, a review of the efficacy of different types of photothermal composite scaffolds in osteosarcoma is lacking. This article first introduces the common PTAs, BTE materials, and preparation methods and then systematically summarizes the development of photothermal composite scaffolds. It would provide a useful reference for the combination of tumor therapy and tissue engineering in bone tumor-related diseases and complex diseases. It will also be valuable for advancing the clinical applications of photothermal composite scaffolds.
