Abstract
BACKGROUND Retention after orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is essential to prevent relapse. This study examined the effects of a fixed orthodontic device and Nano Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) nanoparticles with or without recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP) on rat body weight. MATERIALS AND METHODS OTM was administered for 21 days to 80 Wistar Albino rats. First molar mesialization was active then forming two 40-rat groups which were subdivided into four subgroups of 10 rats each. These subgroups received 5 µg/kg rhBMP, 75 µg/kg CaCO3, 80 µg/kg rhBMP-loaded CaCO3 and one control. The relapse rate was examined weekly over the second 21 days when the second group exhibited mechanical retention and the first did not. Group 1 rats were murdered after 21 days (day 42), whereas group 2 rats entered a third 21-day post-retention period and then murdered (day 63). BW and OTM were measured on days 1, 21, 28, 35, 42, and 63. RESULTS Within each group, the animal body weight was reduced significantly after the intervention and continued over time with a higher average reduction in the 9-week group than the 6-week group. However, there were no significant (P-value ˃0.05) differences in the BW between the groups of the two (6-week and 9-week) sets and the subgroups of the 6-week set across each time point. In contrast, there was a significant (P-value ˂0.05) difference between the BW of the conjugate subgroup and the other three subgroups in the 9-week set, particularly on 63rd day. CONCLUSION CaCO3 nanoparticles and/or BMP with orthodontic treatment collectively or individually cause a reduction of body weight in rats.

Abstract
Bone is a dynamic organ that has the ability to repair minor injuries via regeneration. However, large bone defects with limited regeneration are debilitating conditions in patients and cause a substantial clinical burden. Bone tissue engineering (BTE) is an alternative method that mainly involves three factors: scaffolds, biologically active factors, and cells with osteogenic potential. However, active factors such as bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) are costly and show an unstable release. Previous studies have shown that compounds of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) can effectively promote regeneration of bone defects when administered locally and systemically. However, due to the low bioavailability of these compounds, many recent studies have combined TCM compounds with materials to enhance drug bioavailability and bone regeneration. Hence, the article comprehensively reviewed the local application of TCM compounds to the materials in the bone regeneration in vitro and in vivo. The compounds included icariin, naringin, quercetin, curcumin, berberine, resveratrol, ginsenosides, and salvianolic acids. These findings will contribute to the potential use of TCM compound-loaded materials in BTE.

Locally Controlled Diffusive Release of Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 Using Micropatterned Gelatin Methacrylate Hydrogel Carriers. BIOCHIP JOURNAL 2020; 14:405-420. [PMID: 33250969 PMCID: PMC7680086 DOI: 10.1007/s13206-020-4411-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2020] [Accepted: 08/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
In this work, a novel and simple bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 carrier is developed, which enables localized and controlled release of BMP-2 and facilitates bone regeneration. BMP-2 is localized in the gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) micropatterns on hydrophilic semi-permeable membrane (SNM), and its controlled release is regulated by the concentration of GelMA hydrogel and BMP-2. The controlled release of BMP-2 is verified using computational analysis and quantified using fluorescein isothiocyanate-bovine serum albumin (FITC-BSA) diffusion model. The osteogenic differentiation of osteosarcoma MG-63 cells is manipulated by localized and controlled BMP-2 release. The calcium deposits are significantly higher and the actin skeletal networks are denser in MG-63 cells cultured in the BMP-2-immobilized GelMA micropattern than in the absence of BMP-2. The proposed BMP-2 carrier is expected to not only act as a barrier membrane that can prevent invasion of connective tissue during bone regeneration, but also as a carrier capable of localizing and controlling the release of BMP-2 due to GelMA micropatterning on SNM. This approach can be extensively applied to tissue engineering, including the localization and encapsulation of cells or drugs.

Abstract
For craniofacial bone regeneration, shear-thinning injectable hydrogels are favored over conventional scaffolds because of their improved defect margin adaptability, easier handling, and ability to be injected manually into deeper tissues. The most accepted method, after autografting, is the use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2); however, complications such as interindividual variations, edema, and poor cost-efficiency in supraphysiological doses have been reported. The endogenous synthesis of BMP-2 is desirable, and a molecule which induces this is fibroblast growth factor-18 (FGF-18) because it can upregulate the BMP-2 expression by supressing noggin. We developed a chitin-poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) composite hydrogel by regeneration chemistry and then incorporated CaSO4 and FGF-18 for this purpose. Rheologically, a 7-fold increase in the elastic modulus was observed in the CaSO4-incorporated chitin-PLGA hydrogels as compared to the chitin-PLGA hydrogel. Shear-thinning Herschel-Bulkley fluid nature was observed for both hydrogels. Chitin-PLGA/CaSO4 gel showed sustained release of FGF-18. In vitro osteogenic differentiation showed an enhanced alkaline phosphatase (ALP) expression in the FGF-18-containing chitin-PLGA/CaSO4 gel when compared to cells alone. Further, it was confirmed by studying the expression of osteogenic genes [RUNX2, ALP, BMP-2, osteocalcin (OCN), and osteopontin (OPN)], immunofluorescence staining of BMP-2, OCN, and OPN, and alizarin red S staining. Incorporation of FGF-18 in the hydrogel increased the endothelial cell migration. Further, the regeneration potential of the prepared hydrogels was tested in vivo, and longitudinal live animal μ-CT was performed. FGF-18-loaded chitin-PLGA/CaSO4 showed early and almost complete bone healing in comparison with chitin-PLGA/CaSO4, chitin-PLGA/FGF-18, chitin-PLGA, and sham control systems, as confirmed by hematoxylin and eosin and osteoid tetrachrome stainings. This shows that the CaSO4 and FGF-18-incorporated hydrogel is a potential candidate for craniofacial bone defect regeneration.

Abstract
Objective To fabricate an injectable composite bone substitute with hyaluronic acid (HA) and calcium sulfate and to evaluate the biocompatibility and effect of the composite on cell proliferation, osteogenic differentiation in vitro and osteogenic capability in vivo. Methods Calcium sulfate powder was mixed with HA solution, cross-linked HA solution, and phosphate buffer solution (PBS) in a ratio of 2∶1 ( W/ V) to get composites of CA+HA, CA+HAC, and CA. The standard extracts from above 3 materials were prepared according to ISO10993-5, and were used to culture mouse MC3T3-E1 cells. The composite biocompatibility and cell proliferation in different concentrations of extract were tested with cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8). The cells were cultured with standard medium as a control. The optimal concentration was selected for osteogenic differentiation test, and ELISA Kit was used to determine the alkaline phosphatase (ALP), collagen type I (COL-I), and osteocalcin (OCN). The femoral condylar bone defect was made on New Zealand white rabbits and repaired with CA+HA, CA+HAC, and CA. Micro-CT was done to evaluate new bone formation with bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV) ratio at 6 and 12 weeks. HE staining was used to observe bone formation. Results CA+HA and CA+HAC were better in injectability and stability in PBS than CA. The biocompatibility test showed that absorbance ( A) value of CA group was significantly lower than that of control group ( P<0.05) at 6, 12, and 24 hours after culture, but no significant difference was found in A values between CA+HA group or CA+HAC group and control group ( P>0.05). The proliferation test showed 25% and 50% extract of all 3 materials had significantly higher A value than control group ( P<0.05). For 75% and 100% extract, only CA+HA group had significantly higher A value than control group ( P<0.05). And 50% extract was selected for osteogenic differentiation test. At 14 and 21 days, ALP, COL-I and OCN concentrations of CA+HA group and CA+HAC group were significantly higher than those of CA group and control group ( P<0.05). Micro-CT results showed higher BV/TV in CA+HA group and CA+HAC group than CA group at 6 and 12 weeks ( P<0.05), but no significant difference was found between CA+HA group and CA+HAC group ( P>0.05). HE staining revealed that a little bone tissue was seen in CA+HA group and CA+HAC group, but there was no bone formation in CA group at 6 weeks; more streak bone tissue in CA+HA group and CA+HAC group than CA group at 12 weeks. Conclusion Composites prepared with calcium sulfate and HA or with cross-linked HA are stable, injectable, and biocompatible. The materials have excellent effect on proliferation and differentiation of mouse MC3T3-E1 cells. They also show good osteogenic capability in vivo. So it is a potential bone substitutes for bone defective diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To extend its application in the field of bone repair by adding oxygen-carboxymethylated chitosan (O-CMC) and gentamicin for modification of the calcium sulfate cement (CSC). METHODS The O-CMC/CSC was prepared by adding O-CMC with different concentrations (0.1wt%, 0.3wt%, 0.5wt%, 0.7wt%, and 1.0wt%) in the CSC liquid phase. The effect of O-CMC on the CSC was evaluated by testing the injectability, compressive strength, degradation rate, pH value, cytotoxicity and osteogenesis. After the optimal concentration of O-CMC was determined, gentamicin with different concentrations (0.5wt%, 1.5wt%, and 2.5wt%) was added in the O-CMC/CSC, and then the compressive strength and antibacterial properties were investigated. RESULTS After adding O-CMC in the CSC liquid phase, the injection time of O-CMC/CSC was increased to more than 5 minutes; it significantly prolonged with increased concentration of O-CMC ( P<0.05). The compressive strength of the modified bone cement was in the range of 11-18 MPa and it was the highest when the concentration of O-CMC was 0.5wt% ( P<0.05). The degradation rate of O-CMC/CSC was not influenced obviously by O-CMC ( P>0.05). The pH value was in the range of 7.2-7.4 and Ca 2+ concentration was in the range of 6-8 mmol/L. In vitro mineralization experiment indicated that the induced mineralization ability of O-CMC/CSC was much higher than that of pure CSC. The 0.5wt% O-CMC/CSC had the best performance; the compressive strength of the composite bone cement was above 5 MPa after gentamicin was added, which had antibacterial effect. CONCLUSION O-CMC is able to effectively improve the injection, compressive strength, and osteogenic activity of CSC; in addition, antibacterial properties is obtained in the CSC after adding gentamicin.

Abstract
The Indian spice turmeric, in which the active and dominant biomolecule is curcumin, has been demonstrated to have significant medicinal properties, including anti-inflammatory and anti-neoplastic effects. This promise is potentially very applicable to musculoskeletal disorders, which are common causes of physician visits worldwide. Research at the laboratory, translational and clinical levels that supports the use of curcumin for various musculoskeletal disorders, such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, musculocartilaginous disorders, and sarcoma is here in comprehensively summarized. Though more phase I-III trials are clearly needed, thus far the existing data show that curcumin can indeed potentially be useful in treatment of the hundreds of millions worldwide who are afflicted by these musculoskeletal disorders.

Abstract
Treatment of mandibular osseous defects is a significant clinical challenge. Maintenance of the height and width of the mandibular ridge is essential for placement of dental implants and restoration of normal dentition. While guided bone regeneration using protective membranes is an effective strategy for maintaining the anatomic contour of the ridge and promoting new bone formation, complications have been reported, including wound failure, seroma, and graft exposure leading to infection. In this study, we investigated injectable low-viscosity (LV) polyurethane/ceramic composites augmented with 100 μg/mL (low) or 400 μg/mL (high) recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) as space-maintaining bone grafts in a canine mandibular ridge saddle defect model. LV grafts were injected as a reactive paste that set in 5-10 min to form a solid porous composite with bulk modulus exceeding 1 MPa. We hypothesized that compression-resistant LV grafts would enhance new bone formation and maintain the anatomic contour of the mandibular ridge without the use of protective membranes. At the rhBMP-2 dose recommended for the absorbable collagen sponge carrier in dogs (400 μg/mL), LV grafts maintained the width and height of the host mandibular ridge and supported new bone formation, while at suboptimal (100 μg/mL) doses, the anatomic contour of the ridge was not maintained. These findings indicate that compression-resistant bone grafts with bulk moduli exceeding 1 MPa and rhBMP-2 doses comparable to that recommended for the collagen sponge carrier support new bone formation and maintain ridge height and width in mandibular ridge defects without protective membranes.

Abstract
A ternary composite of poly(amino acid), hydroxyapatite, and calcium sulfate (PAA/HA/CS) was prepared using in situ melting polycondensation method and evaluated in terms of mechanical strengths, in vitro degradability, bioactivity, as well as in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility. The results showed that the ternary composite exhibited a compressive strength of 147 MPa, a bending strength of 121 MPa, a tensile strength of 122 MPa, and a tensile modulus of 4.6 GPa. After immersion in simulated body fluid, the compressive strength of the composite decreased from 147 to 98 MPa for six weeks and the bending strength decreased from 121 to 75 MPa for eight weeks, and both of them kept stable in the following soaking period. The composite could be slowly degraded with 7.27 wt% loss of initial weight after soaking in phosphate buffered solution for three weeks when started to keep stable weight in the following days. The composite was soaked in simulated body fluid solution and the hydroxyapatite layer, as flower-like granules, formed on the surface of the composite samples, showing good bioactivity. Moreover, it was found that the composite could promote proliferation of MG-63 cells, and the cells with normal phenotype extended and spread well on the composite surface. The implantation of the composite into the ulna of sheep confirmed that the composite was biocompatible and osteoconductive in vivo, and offered the PAA/HA/CS composite promising material for load-bearing bone substitutes for clinical application.

Abstract
The current standard for treating infected bony defects, such as those caused by periodontal disease, requires multiple time-consuming steps and often multiple procedures to fight the infection and recover lost tissue. Releasing an antibiotic followed by an osteogenic agent from a synthetic bone graft substitute could allow for a streamlined treatment, reducing the need for multiple surgeries and thereby shortening recovery time. Tailorable bilayered calcium sulfate (CS) bone graft substitutes were developed with the ability to sequentially release multiple therapeutic agents. Bilayered composite samples having a shell and core geometry were fabricated with varying amounts (1 or 10 wt.%) of metronidazole-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) particles embedded in the shell and simvastatin directly loaded into either the shell, core, or both. Microcomputed tomography showed the overall layered geometry as well as the uniform distribution of PLGA within the shells. Dissolution studies demonstrated that the amount of PLGA particles (i.e., 1 vs. 10 wt.%) had a small but significant effect on the erosion rate (3% vs. 3.4%/d). Mechanical testing determined that introducing a layered geometry had a significant effect on the compressive strength, with an average reduction of 35%, but properties were comparable to those of mandibular trabecular bone. Sustained release of simvastatin directly loaded into CS demonstrated that changing the shell to core volume ratio dictates the duration of drug release from each layer. When loaded together in the shell or in separate layers, sequential release of metronidazole and simvastatin was achieved. By introducing a tunable, layered geometry capable of releasing multiple drugs, CS-based bone graft substitutes could be tailored in order to help streamline the multiple steps needed to regenerate tissue in infected defects.

Abstract
To help reduce the need for autografts, calcium sulfate (CS)-based bone graft substitutes are being developed to provide a stable platform to aid augmentation while having the ability to release a broad range of bioactive agents. CS has an excellent reputation as a biocompatible and osteoconductive substance, but addition of bioactive agents may further enhance these properties. Samples were produced with either directly loaded small, hydrophobic molecule (i.e., simvastatin), directly loaded hydrophilic protein (i.e., lysozyme), or 1 and 10 wt % of fast-degrading poly(β-amino ester) (PBAE) particles containing protein. Although sustained release of directly loaded simvastatin was achieved, direct loading of small amounts of lysozyme resulted in highly variable release. Direct loading of a larger amount of protein generated a large burst, 65% of total loading, followed by sustained release of protein. Release of lysozyme from 1 wt % of PBAE particles embedded into CS was more controllable than when directly loaded, and for 10 wt % of protein-loaded PBAE particles, a higher burst was followed by sustained release, comparable to the results for the high direct loading. Compression testing determined that incorporation of directly loaded drug or drug-loaded PBAE particles weakened CS. In particular, PBAE particles had a significant effect on the strength of the composites, with a 25 and 80% decrease in strength for 1 and 10 wt % particle loadings, respectively. CS-based composites demonstrated the ability to sustainably release both macromolecules and small molecules, supporting the potential for these materials to release a range of therapeutic agents.
