Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys were favored by biomedical practitioners thanks to availability of bioactivity and degradability. However, the mismatch between the degradation properties of Mg alloys and the rate of osteogenesis often led to implant failure and bacterial infections within the desired period. The goal of this study was to improve the corrosion resistance of Mg alloys, providing theoretical guidance for solving the problems of implantable Mg-based materials. In this experiment, we prepared a dense and uniform BTESPT/TiO2 film layer on the surface of Mg substrate by electrochemically assisted deposition. The BTESPT/TiO2 film layer provided a physical barrier to avoid direct contact between AZ31 and the corrosive medium. When the addition amount was 2 g/L TiO2, the coating had the best corrosion resistance behavior, its corrosion current density could be up to 9.973×10-8 A/cm2. The BTESPT/TiO2 revealed good cell viability as well as osteogenic differentiation potential on MC3T3-E1 cells.

Biodegradable AZ91 magnesium alloy/sirolimus/poly D, L-lactic-co-glycolic acid-based substrate for cardiovascular device application. J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2024; 112:e35350.

Abstract
Biodegradable drug-eluting stents (DESs) are gaining importance owing to their attractive features, such as complete drug release to the target site. Magnesium (Mg) alloys are promising materials for future biodegradable DESs. However, there are few explorations using biodegradable Mg for cardiovascular stent application. In this present study, sirolimus-loaded poly D, L-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA)-coated/ sirolimus-fixed/AZ91 Mg alloy-based substrate was developed via a layer-by-layer approach for cardiovascular stent application. The AZ91 Mg alloy was prepared through the squeeze casting technique. The casted AZ91 Mg alloy (Mg) was alkali-treated to provide macroporous networks to hold the sirolimus and PLGA layers. The systematic characterization was investigated via electrochemical, optical, physicochemical, and in-vitro biological characteristics. The presence of the Mg17 Al12 phase in the Mg sample was found in the x-ray diffraction system (XRD) spectrum which influences the corrosion behavior of the developed substrate. The alkali treatment increases the substrate's hydrophilicity which was confirmed through static contact angle measurement. The anti-corrosion characteristic of casted-AZ91 Mg alloy (Mg) was slightly less than the sirolimus-loaded PLGA-coated alkali-treated AZ91 Mg alloy (Mg/Na/S/P) substrate. However, dissolution rates for both substrates were found to be controlled at cell culture conditions. Radiographic densities of AZ91 Mg alloy substrates (Mg, Mg/Na, and Mg/Na/S/P) were measured to be 0.795 ± 0.015, 0.742 ± 0.01, and 0.712 ± 0.017, respectively. The star-shaped structure of 12% sirolimus/PLGA ensures the bioavailability of the drugs. Sirolimus release kinetic was fitted up to 80% with the "Higuchi model" for Mg samples, whereas Mg/Na/S/P showed 45% fitting with a zero-order mechanism. The Mg/Na/S/P substrate showed a 70% antithrombotic effect compared to control. Further, alkali treatment enhances the antibacterial characteristic of AZ91 Mg alloy. Also, the alkali-treated sirolimus-loaded substrates (Mg/Na/S and Mg/Na/S/P) inhibit the valvular interstitial cell's growth significantly in in-vitro. Hence, the results imply that sirolimus-loaded PLGA-coated AZ91 Mg alloy-based substrate can be a potential candidate for cardiovascular stent application.

Abstract
The utilization of guided tissue regeneration membranes is a significant approach for enhancing bone tissue growth in areas with bone defects. Biodegradable magnesium alloys are increasingly being used as guided tissue regeneration membranes due to their outstanding osteogenic properties. However, the degradation rates of magnesium alloy bone implants documented in the literature tend to be rapid. Moreover, many studies focus only on the initial 3-month period post-implantation, limiting their applicability and impeding clinical adoption. Furthermore, scant attention has been given to the interplay between the degradation of magnesium alloy implants and the adjacent tissues. To address these gaps, this study employs a well-studied magnesium-aluminum (Mg-Al) alloy membrane with a slow degradation rate. This membrane is implanted into rat skull bone defects and monitored over an extended period of up to 48 weeks. Observations are conducted at various intervals (2, 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 weeks) following the implantation. Assessment of degradation behavior and tissue regeneration response is carried out using histological sections, micro-CT scans, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The findings reveal that the magnesium alloy membranes demonstrate remarkable biocompatibility and osteogenic capability over the entire observation duration. Specifically, the Mg-Al alloy membranes sustain their structural integrity for 8 weeks. Notably, their osteogenic ability is further enhanced as a corrosion product layer forms during the later stages of implantation. Additionally, our in vitro experiments employing extracts from the magnesium alloy display a significant osteogenic effect, accompanied by a notable increase in the expression of osteogenic-related genes. Collectively, these results strongly indicate the substantial potential of Mg-Al alloy membranes in the context of guided tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Magnesium is renowned for its favorable low-density attributes, rendering it a viable choice for commercial engineering applications in which weight has substantial design implications. Magnesium (Mg) stands as a readily obtainable metallic element, exhibiting robustness, efficient heat dissipation, and excellent damping properties. The utilization of pure magnesium remains infrequent due to its susceptibility to instability under high temperatures and pronounced vulnerability to corrosion within humid environments. Hence, the incorporation of magnesium alloys into the design process of aircraft, automotive, and biomedical applications assumes paramount importance. This Review presents a comprehensive review of research endeavors and their resultant achievements concerning the advancement of magnesium alloys. Specifically focusing on aerospace, automotive, and biomedical applications, the Review underscores the pivotal role played by alloying constituents, namely aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), calcium (Ca), and PEO coatings, in influencing the microstructural attributes, mechanical potency, and resistance to corrosion.

Abstract
The increasing need for joint replacement surgeries, musculoskeletal repairs, and orthodontics worldwide prompts emerging technologies to evolve with healthcare's changing landscape. Metallic orthopaedic materials have a shared application history with the aerospace industry, making them only partly efficient in the biomedical domain. However, suitability of metallic materials in bone tissue replacements and regenerative therapies remains unchallenged due to their superior mechanical properties, eventhough they are not perfectly biocompatible. Therefore, exploring ways to improve biocompatibility is the most critical step toward designing the next generation of metallic biomaterials. This review discusses methods of improving biocompatibility of metals used in biomedical devices using surface modification, bulk modification, and incorporation of biologics. Our investigation spans multiple length scales, from bulk metals to the effect of microporosities, surface nanoarchitecture, and biomolecules such as DNA incorporation for enhanced biological response in metallic materials. We examine recent technologies such as 3D printing in alloy design and storing surface charge on nanoarchitecture surfaces, metal-on-metal, and ceramic-on-metal coatings to present a coherent and comprehensive understanding of the subject. Finally, we consider the advantages and challenges of metallic biomaterials and identify future directions.

Abstract
Mg and its alloys evince strong candidature for biodegradable bone implants, cardiovascular stents, and wound closing devices. However, their rapid degradation rate causes premature implant failure, constraining clinical applications. Bio-functional surface coatings have emerged as the most competent strategy to fulfill the diverse clinical requirements, besides yielding effective corrosion resistance. This article reviews the progress of biodegradable and advanced surface coatings on Mg alloys investigated in recent years, aiming to build up a comprehensive knowledge framework of coating techniques, processing parameters, performance measures in terms of corrosion resistance, adhesion strength, and biocompatibility. Recently developed conversion and deposition type surface coatings are thoroughly discussed by reporting their essential therapeutic responses like osteogenesis, angiogenesis, cytocompatibility, hemocompatibility, anti-bacterial, and controlled drug release towards in-vitro and in-vivo study models. The challenges associated with metallic, ceramic and polymeric coatings along with merits and demerits of various coatings have been illustrated. The use of multilayered hybrid coating comprising a unique combination of organic and inorganic components has been emphasized with future perspectives to obtain diverse bio-functionalities in a facile single coating system for orthopedic implant applications.

Abstract
This study attempted to investigate the effects of adding hydroxyapatite and silica aerogel nanoparticles on the density, tensile, Izod impact, and morphological properties of epoxy using the Response Surface Methodology (RSM). RSM relied on Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was used to design the mechanical tests. The concurrent effects of two parameters including hydroxyapatite content and silica aerogels content on the mechanical properties have been evaluated. Finally, by using the equations obtained from regression for each of the responses, their optimal states were obtained using both the desirability approach and the Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) method. The results from tensile, and Izod impact tests indicated the combination of hydroxyapatite and silica aerogel nanoparticles led to an improvement in the tensile properties and energy absorption of epoxy matrix. The findings related to density test demonstrated that with addition of silica aerogel to the hydroxyapatite/epoxy nanocomposites, density of these samples was decreased. The maximum tensile strength of 86.9 MPa was obtained with hydroxyapatite content of 2.38 wt% and silica aerogels content of 4 wt%. Also, the maximum impact strength of 18.14 kJ/m2 was obtained with hydroxyapatite content of 1.11 wt% and silica aerogels content of 3.51 wt%. The field emission scanning electron microscope images showed the homogeneous distribution of combined hydroxyapatite and silica aerogel nanoparticles in epoxy matrix, except in 5 wt% of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Magnesium alloys have been receiving much attention for use in biodegradable metal implants because of their excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. However, their rapid breakdown and low bioactivity can cause the implant to lose mechanical integrity before the bone is completely healed. Moreover, hydrogen gas released during degradation can significantly delay the tissue regeneration process. To solve the instability of magnesium alloys, Zn and Ca can be added to improve the mechanical properties and biocompatibility. One other way to improve the mechanical properties of Mg is plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO), which provides a dense, thick ceramic-like coating on the Mg surface. In this study, high-purity Mg was selected as the control, and Mg-1wt%Zn-0.1wt%Ca alloy and PEO-treated Mg-1wt%Zn-0.1wt%Ca alloy were selected as the test materials; the results of radiographic and histological analyses of their biocompatibility are reported herein. MATERIALS AND METHOD Nineteen New Zealand white rabbits were used in the study. Rod-bars (Ø2.7 × 13.6 mm) were placed on both paravertebral muscles, and cannulated screws (Ø2.7x10mm) were placed on both femur condyle notches. Each animal was implanted in all four sites. X-rays were taken at 0, 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks, micro-CT, and live-CT were taken at 4, 8, and 12 weeks. At weeks 4, 8, and 12, individuals representing each group were selected and sacrificed to prepare specimens for histopathological examination. RESULT The results confirm that in vivo, Mg-1wt%Zn-0.1wt%Ca alloy had higher corrosion resistance than high-purity Mg and safely degraded over time without causing possible side effects (foreign body or inflammatory reactions, etc.). In addition, PEO treatment of Mg-1wt%Zn-0.1wt%Ca alloy had a positive effect on fracture recovery by increasing the bonding area with bone. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that PEO treatment of Mg-1wt%Zn-0.1wt%Ca alloy can be a promising biomaterials in the field of various clinical situations such as orthopedic and maxillofacial surgerys.

Abstract
Magnesium alloys have great application prospects as ideal bone implant materials. However, their poor corrosion resistance limits their clinical orthopedic application. Surface modification promotes the corrosion resistance of magnesium. Conversion coatings, such as calcium phosphate (Ca-P) coating, microarc oxidation (MAO) treatment, and fluoride (FLU) treatment, have been extensively investigated in in vivo studies. This systematic review and network meta-analysis compared the influence of different conversion coatings on bone repair, material properties, and systemic host response in orthopedic applications. Using the PICOS model, the inclusion criteria for biodegradable magnesium and its alloys were determined for in vivo studies. Four databases were used. The standard and weight mean differences with 95% confidence intervals were used to analyze new bone formation and degradation rate. Network structure and forest plots were created, and ranking probabilities were estimated. The risk of bias and quality of evidence were assessed using SYRCLE, CERQual, and GRADE tools. In the qualitative analysis, 43 studies were selected, and the evaluation of each outcome indicator was not entirely consistent from article to article. In the quantitative analysis, 21 articles were subjected to network meta-analysis, with 16 articles on implant degradation and 8 articles for new bone formation. Additionally, SUCRA indicated that Ca-P coating exhibited the highest corrosion resistance, followed by FLU treatment. MAO demonstrated the best capability for new bone formation, followed by Ca-P coating. Ca-P coating exhibited the highest overall performance. To conclude, coated Mg can promote better new bone formation than bare Mg and has considerable biocompatibility. Ca-P-coated Mg and MAO-coated Mg have the greatest potential to significantly promote corrosion resistance and bone regeneration, respectively. The findings of this study will provide a theoretical basis for the investigation of composite coatings and guidance for the orthopedic application of Mg bone implants.

Jana A, Das M, Balla VK. In vitro and in vivo degradation assessment and preventive measures of biodegradable Mg alloys for biomedical applications. J Biomed Mater Res A 2021; 110:462-487.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys have been widely explored as a potential biodegradable implant material. However, the fast degradation of Mg-based alloys under physiological environment has hindered their widespread use for implant applications till date. The present review focuses on in vitro and in vivo degradation of biodegradable Mg alloys, and preventive measures for biomedical applications. Initially, the corrosion assessment approaches to predict the degradation behavior of Mg alloys are discussed along with the measures to control rapid corrosion. Furthermore, this review attempts to explore the correlation between in vitro and in vivo corrosion behavior of different Mg alloys. It was found that the corrosion depends on experimental conditions, materials and the results of different assessment procedures hardly matches with each other. It has been demonstrated the corrosion rate of magnesium can be tailored by alloying elements, surface treatments and heat treatments. Various researches also studied different biocompatible coatings such as dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD), β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), hydroxyapatite (HA), polycaprolactone (PCL), polylactic acid (PLA), and so on, on Mg alloys to suppress rapid degradation and examine their influence on new bone regeneration as well. This review shows the need for a standard method of corrosion assessment to predict the in vivo corrosion rate based on in vitro data, and thus reducing the in vivo experimentation.

In vivo degradation and bone formation behaviors of hydroxyapatite-coated Mg alloys in rat femur. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2021; 122:111942.

Abstract
Various coatings have been developed for biodegradable Mg alloys to control the degradation speed and to improve the bone conductivity. In this study, hydroxyapatite (HAp) coatings were formed on pure Mg, Mg-0.8mass% Ca (MgCa), Mg-4mass% Y-3mass% rare earth (RE) (WE43), Mg-3mass% RE-1mass% Y (EW31) and Mg-4mass% RE (RE4) alloy rods with a chemical solution deposition method. The HAp-coated and uncoated Mg/Mg alloy rods were implanted in the femurs of rats for 3-6 months, and the corrosion suppression and bone formation abilities of the HAp coating were examined using a scanning electron microscope. The corrosion rate of WE43 was suppressed by 1/3 with the HAp coating for 6 months, and the corrosion product showed very slow dissolution. The effect of the HAp coating for pure Mg and MgCa disappeared in 1-2 months with the thinning of the rods accompanying with the obvious dissolution of the corrosion products. The effect of the HAp coating for EW31 and RE4 was not stable due to the expansion and collapse of the corrosion products. The bone formation was enhanced on the HAp layers. Eventually, the HAp coating basically suppressed the corrosion initiation and corrosion progress of Mg substrates. The magnitude of the suppression effect depended mainly on the chemical and physical stability of the corrosion products.

Abstract
Bone is a regenerative organ characterized by self-renewal ability. Indeed, it is a very dynamic tissue subjected to continuous remodeling in order to preserve its structure and function. However, in clinical practice, impaired bone healing can be observed in patients and medical intervention is needed to regenerate the tissue via the use of natural bone grafts or synthetic bone grafts. The main elements required for tissue engineering include cells, growth factors and a scaffold material to support them. Three different materials (metals, ceramics, and polymers) can be used to create a scaffold suitable for bone regeneration. Several cell types have been investigated in combination with biomaterials. In this review, we describe the options available for bone regeneration, focusing on tissue engineering strategies based on the use of different biomaterials combined with cells and growth factors.

Abstract
Magnesium alloys with coatings have the potential to be used for bone substitute alternatives since their mechanical properties are close to those of human bone. However, the surface modification of magnesium alloys to increase the surface biocompatibility and reduce the degradation rate remains a challenge. Here, FHA-Mg scaffolds were made of magnesium alloys and coated with fluorohydroxyapatite (FHA). Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were cultured on FHA-Mg scaffolds and cell viability, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation were investigated. The results showed that FHA-Mg scaffolds display a nano-scaled needle-like structure of aggregated crystallites on their surface. The average Mg2+ concentration in the conditioned media collected from FHA-Mg scaffolds (5.8–7.6 mM) is much lower than those collected from uncoated, Mg(OH)2-coated, and hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated samples (32.1, 17.7, and 21.1 mM, respectively). In addition, compared with hMSCs cultured on a culture dish, cells cultured on FHA-Mg scaffolds demonstrated better proliferation and comparable osteogenic differentiation. To eliminate the effect of osteogenic induction medium, hMSCs were cultured on FHA-Mg scaffolds in culture medium and an approximate 66% increase in osteogenic differentiation was observed three weeks later, indicating a significant effect of the nanostructured surface of FHA-Mg scaffolds on hMSC behaviors. With controllable Mg2+ release and favorable mechanical properties, porous FHA-Mg scaffolds have a great potential in cell-based bone regeneration.

Abstract
The fast corrosion rate of magnesium alloys has restricted their use as biodegradable implants. Hence developing a practical approach to retard the corrosion rate of the AZ31 magnesium alloy, as well as promoting cell adhesion and proliferation is of great importance. Silane coatings were applied through dip coating, on samples pretreated in hydrofluoric acid. Samples were immersed in simulated body fluid at 37 °C, and the coating performance was assessed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The coating morphologies of samples were investigated through field emission scanning electron microscopy and a cell viability/proliferation (MTT) test was performed to evaluate cellular response. A 2.2 μm-thick coating was accomplished, which increased the corrosion resistance to three orders of magnitude higher than that of the bare sample. Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were added to the silane coating to improve biocompatibility and facilitate bone formation. Changing the concentration of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles not only helped to optimize the barrier properties of the silane coating but also ameliorated MG-63 osteoblastic cell growth. The findings showed great promise to enhance and maintain the corrosion barrier property and induce high osteoblastic differentiation by employing 1000 mg L−1 of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles. Incorporation of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles in silane coatings improves both corrosion resistance and cell viability on magnesium AZ31 implants.![]()

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) has been considered as the next-generation orthopedic implant material due to its biodegradability, but high degradation rate and severe cytotoxicity hinder its clinical application. Preparing micro-arc oxidation (MAO)/octacalcium phosphate (OCP) composite coating is considered as an ideal approach to solve the problems. In this work, nanostructured OCP coatings with variable structures were prepared facilely on MAO coated Mg by chemical deposition (CD) in a simple trace PO43- ion contained Ca(NO3)2 solution. The results show that nanostructured OCP grows and covers the MAO coating completely after CD. The morphology and thickness of OCP coating can be regulated by varying deposition time. The thinnest OCP coating with a fine structure is observed after 0.5 h of deposition, which shows the best cytocompatibility. Extending deposition time roughens the surface structure and thickens the coatings. The thickest OCP coating with a coarse structure can be obtained after 2 h of deposition, which shows the best corrosion resistance and mineralization. These results clearly indicate the functionality of the OCP coating can be easily tailored only by varying deposition time to meet different clinical requirements.

Abstract
In current modern medicine, biodegradable metal implants are still considered a work-in-progress between the collaborations of both scientists and engineers. As of now, one of the obstacles to this development is monitoring the corrosion rate of the implant. When a biodegradable metal implant (made of Mg, Zn, etc.) is introduced into the harsh environment of the human body, corrosion naturally occurs, causing metal ions to be released which may result in undesired health effects. The released products of the corroding implant can be used to monitor the implant condition. This paper discusses the current real-time corrosion monitoring systems (i.e., electrochemical-, microsensor-, and microdialysis-based) in-vivo and in-vitro. It is acknowledged that the progress in this sector still requires extensive research in order to obtain a desirable monitoring system and it is hoped that this review paper contributes to the research.

Abstract
A hydrothermal (HT) coating was applied to the biomedical Mg-Zn-Ca alloy surface by microarc oxidation (MAO) and heat treatment. Then, the corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of the coated alloy was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The corrosion rate (CR) of HT-coated implants was significantly lower in experiment. In addition, this CR increased over time in vivo but was stable, albeit higher, in vitro. The proliferation, adhesion, and live activity of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) were significantly greater on the surface of the HT-coated Mg alloy in vitro. Serum Mg2+ was always within the normal range in rabbits with implants, although Ca2+ was higher than normal for both uncoated and coated scaffolds. There were no significant pathological effects on the main organs of alloy-implanted rabbits compared with healthy animals. Thus, the HT coating significantly improved the corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of the Mg-Zn-Ca alloy.

Abstract
Magnesium-based biomaterials are attracting increasingly more attention for orthopedic applications based on their appropriate mechanical properties, biodegradability, and favorable biocompatibility. However, the high corrosion rate of these materials remains to be addressed. In this study, porous β-Ca3(PO4)2/Mg-Zn (β-TCP/Mg-Zn) composites were fabricated via a powder metallurgy method. The β-TCP/Mg-Zn composites with 6% porosity exhibited optimal mechanical properties, and thus, they were selected for surface modification. A novel dopamine/gelatin/recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) coating with demonstrated stability was prepared to further improve the corrosion resistance of the composite and enhance early osteoinductivity. The homogeneously coated β-TCP/Mg-Zn composite showed significantly improved corrosion resistance according to electrochemical and immersion tests. In addition, extracts from the dopamine/gelatin/rhBMP-2-coated β-TCP/Mg-Zn composite not only facilitated cell proliferation but also significantly enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of Sprague-Dawley rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells in vitro. Furthermore, in vivo experiments were performed to evaluate the biodegradation, histocompatibility, and osteoinductive potential of the coated composite. No obvious pathological changes in the vital visceral organs were observed after implantation, and radiography and hematoxylin-eosin staining showed strong promotion of new bone formation, matched composite degradation and bone regeneration rates, and complete absorption of the released hydrogen gas. Collectively, these results indicate that the dopamine/gelatin/rhBMP-2-coated β-TCP/Mg-Zn composite offers improved corrosion resistance, favorable biocompatibility, and enhanced osteoinductive potential for use in the fabrication of orthopedic implants.

Abstract
In this work, Zn is doped into a hydroxyapatite coating on the surface of ZK60 magnesium alloys using a one-pot hydrothermal method to obtain a corrosion-resistant implant with abilities of osteogenic differentiation and bacterial inhibition. With the addition of Zn, the morphology changes with a nanowhisker structure appearing on the coating. Electrochemical measurements show that the nanowhisker hydroxyapatite coating provides a high corrosion resistance. Compared with hydroxyapatite coating, the nanowhisker coating not only effectively inhibits bacteria, but also promotes the adhesion and differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells at appropriate Zn concentrations. In conclusion, a novel nanowhisker structure prepared by a single variable Zn doping can significantly improve the corrosion resistance and biological activity of hydroxyapatite coatings.

Abstract
Metallic materials have been extensively applied in clinical practice due to their unique mechanical properties and durability. Recent years have witnessed broad interests and advances on surface functionalization of metallic implants for high-performance biofunctions. Calcium phosphates (CaPs) are the major inorganic component of bone tissues, and thus owning inherent biocompatibility and osseointegration properties. As such, they have been widely used in clinical orthopedics and dentistry. The new emergence of surface functionalization on metallic implants with CaP coatings shows promise for a combination of mechanical properties from metals and various biofunctions from CaPs. This review provides a brief summary of state-of-art of surface biofunctionalization on implantable metals by CaP coatings. We first glance over different types of CaPs with their coating methods and in vitro and in vivo performances, and then give insight into the representative biofunctions, i.e. osteointegration, corrosion resistance and biodegradation control, and antibacterial property, provided by CaP coatings for metallic implant materials.

Abstract
Biodegradable magnesium alloys are suitable osteosynthesis materials. Despite the alloy composition, surface modifications appear to have an influence on the degradation process and biocompatibility. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of hydrogenation and fluoridation of the surface in a mandibular osteotomy model. Standard-sized plates and screws were implanted in an osteotomy at the mandibular angle in nine miniature pigs. The plates and screws were harvested together with the adjacent tissues at 8 weeks after surgery and were investigated by micro-computed tomography and histological analysis. The bone healing of the osteotomy was undisturbed, independent of the surface properties. The adjacent bone tissue showed new bone formation at the implant surface; however, formation of some lacunae could be observed. The corrosion was between 9.8% and 11.6% (fluoridated<hydrogenated<non-modified) in histological specimens, while radiologically neither the volume nor the density of the osteosynthesis material was reduced in any treatment group. The soft tissues exhibited full biocompatibility with every surface property. In summary, surface modification by hydrogenation and fluoridation did not significantly influence bone healing, biocompatibility, or corrosion kinetics of the magnesium osteosynthesis at the mandibular angle.

Abstract
Magnesium and its alloys are biodegradable materials with great potential for biomedical development; however, their high rate of degradation in biological environments limits the widespread application of these materials. In order to improve the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy, a functional calcium phosphate coating was prepared on Mg-3Zn-0.5Zr-0.5Sr alloy by microarc oxidation (MAO) combined with chemical deposition of fluoridated hydroxyapatite (FHA). A dense calcium-phosphorus coating 6 μm thick composed of needle-shaped fluoridated hydroxyapatite formed on the surface of the MAO layer. The MAO-FHA coating exhibited good mineralization ability to induce hydroxyapatite deposition on its surface during degradation testing in simulated bodily fluids.

Abstract
The future of biomaterial design will rely on development of bioresorbable implant materials that completely and safely degrade in vivo after the tissues grow, without generating harmful degradation products at the targeted anatomic site. Permanent biomaterials such as Ti6Al4V alloy, 316L stainless steel, and Co-based alloys currently used in mandibular reconstruction often result in stress shielding effects due to mismatch in the Young’s modulus values between the bone and the implant, resulting in implant loosening. Also, allergic responses due to metal ion releases necessitates revision surgery to prevent long term exposure of the body to toxic implant contents. Bioresorbable metals are perceived as revolutionary biomaterials that have transformed the nature of metallic biomaterials from bioinert to bioactive and multi-bio functional (anti-bacterial, anti-proliferation, and anti-cancer). In this aspect, magnesium (Mg)-based materials have recently been explored by the biomedical community as potential materials for mandibular reconstruction, as they exhibit favorable mechanical properties, adequate biocompatibility, and degradability. This article reviews the recent progress that has led to advances in developing Mg-based materials for mandibular reconstruction; correlating with the biomechanics of mandible and types of mandibular defects. Mg-based materials are discussed regarding their mechanical properties, corrosion characteristics, and in vivo performance. Finally, the paper summarizes findings from this review, together with a proposed scope for advancing the knowledge in Mg-based materials for mandibular reconstruction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most of the currently available Mg-based biomaterials corrode too fast in the physiological environment, causing many problems including hydrogen bubble release and premature mechanical failure. It is commonly recognized that high biodegradation rate is the major factor limiting their clinical applications. OBJECTIVE The present research aims to develop a new magnesium (Mg)-based biomaterial with a controlled biodegradation rate. METHODS A magnesium-hydroxyapatite (Mg-1.61Zn-0.18Mn-0.5Ca/1HA) nanocomposite was developed by a novel technique which combines high shear solidification and hot extrusion, followed by heat treatment. The microstructure and biodegradation rate of the nanocomposite in HBSS Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution were assessed. Biodegradation behaviour was studied using electrochemical corrosion and immersion test. Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) were used to characterize the surface microstructure, biodegradation morphology and to analyse the biodegradation products. Few patents were also cited in the article. RESULTS Under the optimized procedure of high shear solidification, extrusion and heat treatment at 400°C, the Mg-1.61Zn-0.18Mn-0.5Ca/1HA exhibited a satisfactory biodegradation rate of 0.12±0.04 mm/year. CONCLUSION This technology shows a potential of breakthrough innovation in the manufacturing of Mg-based biomaterials with a decreased biodegradation rate.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A systematic characterization of hybrid scaffolds, fabricated based on combinatorial additive manufacturing technique and freeze-drying method, is presented as a new platform for osteoblastic differentiation of dental pulp cells (DPCs). METHODS The scaffolds were consisted of a collagenous matrix embedded in a 3D-printed beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) as the mineral phase. The developed construct design was intended to achieve mechanical robustness owing to 3D-printed β-TCP scaffold, and biologically active 3D cell culture matrix pertaining to the Collagen extracellular matrix. The β-TCP precursor formulations were investigated for their flow-ability at various temperatures, which optimized for fabrication of 3D printed scaffolds with interconnected porosity. The hybrid constructs were characterized by 3D laser scanning microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and compressive strength testing. RESULTS The in vitro characterization of scaffolds revealed that the hybrid β-TCP/Collagen constructs offer superior DPCs proliferation and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity compared to the 3D-printed β-TCP scaffold over three weeks. Moreover, it was found that the incorporation of TCP into the Collagen matrix improves the ALP activity. SIGNIFICANCE The presented results converge to suggest the developed 3D-printed β-TCP/Collagen hybrid constructs as a new platform for osteoblastic differentiation of DPCs for craniomaxillofacial bone regeneration.

Abstract
In this study, a two-step surface treatment was developed to restrain the rapid primary degradation of a biodegradable Mg alloy and to improve their biocompatibility. Micro arc oxidation (MAO) coating was performed in alkaline electrolytes such as 1.0 M NaOH with 0.1 M glycerol and 0.1 M Na3PO4. Hydrothermal treatment was performed in 0.1 M Ca-EDTA (C10H12CaN2Na2O8) and 0.5 M NaOH solution at 90 °C for different times (6, 12, 24, and 48 h). The film morphology and chemical properties were evaluated by XRD and FE-SEM. The electrochemical and corrosion behaviors were examined in the simulated body fluid, and cytotoxicity was assessed using MC3T3-E1 cells. After MAO coating, an oxide layer containing [Formula: see text] formed on the surface. During the hydrothermal treatment in Ca-EDTA solution, calcium phosphate and Mg(OH)2 were produced via a reaction between [Formula: see text] on the surface and Ca2+ in solution. The layer with ceramics and oxides was grown on the surface with increasing hydrothermal treatment time, and improved the surface corrosion resistance. The 24 h hydrothermal-treated group showed the lowest immersion corrosion rate and high cell viability. Therefore, this treatment was the most favorable surface modification for improving the initial corrosion resistance and bioactivity of the biodegradable Mg alloy.

Abstract
Calcium stearate based super-hydrophobic coating was deposited on plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) pre-treated magnesium substrate. The pre-treated magnesium and super-hydrophobic coating covered sample were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and electrochemical corrosion measurements. The cytocompatibility and degradation resistance of magnesium, pre-treated magnesium and super-hydrophobic coating were analysed in terms of cell adhesion and osteoblast differentiation. The results indicate that the calcium stearate top coating shows super-hydrophobicity and that the surface is composed of micro/nanostructure. The super-hydrophobic coating covered sample shows higher barrier properties compared with the PEO pre-treated magnesium and bare magnesium. Human osteoblast proliferation, but not differentiation is enhanced by the PEO coating. Contrary, the super-hydrophobic coating reduces proliferation, but enhances differentiation of osteoblast, observable by the formation of hydroxyapatite. The combination of corrosion protection and cell reaction indicates that this system could be interesting for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Abstract
Micro-arc oxidation was applied to AZ91D magnesium alloy by taking K2Cr2O7 as the colouring salt in the silicate system. It was shown that the green coating obtained through performing micro-arc oxidation on magnesium alloy consisted of Mg, Mg2SiO4, MgO, and MgCr2O4 based on analysis of X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Among which, MgCr2O4 was the colouring salt; there were something in the lamellar, pit, and convex forms found on the surface of the coating. The coating consisted of a porous, and a compact, layer from the outside to the inside. As demonstrated, the colour of the coating depended on the K2Cr2O7 concentration: it became gradually deeper with the addition of K2Cr2O7 and the increasing micro-arc oxidation time. The corrosion resistance and hardness of the green coating were greater than that of the matrix.

Abstract
The first degradable implant made of a magnesium alloy, a compression screw, was launched to the clinical market in March 2013. Many different complex considerations are required for the marketing authorization of degradable implant materials. This review gives an overview of existing and proposed standards for implant testing for marketing approval. Furthermore, different common in vitro and in vivo testing methods are discussed. In some cases, animal tests are inevitable to investigate the biological safety of a novel medical material. The choice of an appropriate animal model is as important as subsequent histological examination. Furthermore, this review focuses on the results of various mechanical tests to investigate the stability of implants for temporary use. All the above aspects are examined in the context of development and testing of magnesium-based biomaterials and their progress them from bench to bedside. A brief history of the first market launch of a magnesium-based degradable implant is given. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res Part A: 105A: 329-347, 2017.

Abstract
As a new generation of medical metallic material, magnesium (Mg) and its alloys with or without surface coating have attracted a great deal of attention due to its biodegradability and potential for avoiding a removal operation after the implant has fulfilled its function for surgical fixation of injured musculoskeletal tissues. Although a few clinical cases on Mg-based orthopaedic implants were reported more than a century ago, it was not until recently that clinical trials using these implants with improved physicochemical properties were carried out in Germany, China and Korea for bone fracture fixation. The promising results so far suggest a bright future for biodegradable Mg-based orthopaedic implants and would warrant large scale phase II/III studies. Given the increasing interest on this emerging biomaterials and intense effort to improve its properties for various clinical applications, this review covers the evolution, current strategies, and future perspectives in the development of Mg-based orthopaedic implants. We also highlight a few clinical cases performed in China that may be unfamiliar to the general orthopaedic community.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Titanium implant surfaces have been modified to improve osseointegration; however, the evidence for incorporating zinc into titanium implants to improve new bone formation and osseointegration is not clear. PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the efficacy of treating titanium surfaces with zinc on the osseointegration of implants. MATERIAL AND METHODS The focused question addressed was, "Does incorporating zinc in titanium implant surfaces influence osseointegration?" Indexed databases were searched up to January 2016 using the key words "Bone to implant contact"; "implant"; "zinc"; "osseointegration." Letters to the editor, case reports/case series, historic reviews, and commentaries were excluded. The pattern of the review was customized to summarize the pertinent data. RESULTS Ten experimental studies were included, all of which were performed in animals (5 in rabbits, 4 in rodents, and 1 in goats). The number of titanium implants placed ranged from 10 to 78. The results from all studies showed that incorporating zinc into titanium implants enhanced new bone formation and/or bone-to-implant contact around implants. One study reported that zinc enhanced the removal torque on implants. CONCLUSIONS The current available evidence on adding zinc to titanium implants surfaces to enhance osseointegration remains unclear. Further investigation is necessary to assess its effectiveness and safety in humans and to establish a standard methodology and ideal compound for incorporating zinc ion into titanium implant surfaces in a clinical setting.

Abstract
In the present study, we describe the sonochemical isolation of nano-sized spherical hydroxyapatite (nHA) from egg shell and application towards thrombin aptasensing. In addition to the sonochemical method, two conventional methods present in literature were carried out to perform a comparative study. Various analysis methods including Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Energy-Dispersive Analysis of X-Rays (EDAX), and Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) have been applied for the characterization of nHA and its nanocomposite with marine-derived collagen isolated from Rhizostoma pulmo jellyfish. TEM micrographs revealed the sonochemically synthesized nHA nanoparticles to have a unique porous spherical shape with a diameter of approximately 60-80nm when compared to hydroxyapatite nanoparticles synthesized using the other two methods which had a typical needle shaped morphology. EDAX, XRD and FTIR results demonstrated that the obtained patterns belonged to hydroxyapatite. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is the main analyzing technique of the developed thrombin aptasensor. The proposed aptasensor has a detection limit of 0.25nM thrombin. For clinical application of the developed aptasensor, thrombin levels in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples obtained from patients with Multiple Sclerosis, Myastenia Gravis, Epilepsy, Parkinson, polyneuropathy and healthy donors were analyzed using both the aptasensor and commercial ELISA kit. The results showed that the proposed system is a promising candidate for clinical analysis of thrombin.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys have gained considerable attention as a promising biomaterial for bioresorbable orthopedic implants, but the corrosion behavior of Mg-based implants is still the major issue for clinical use. In order to improve the corrosion stability and implant-tissue interfaces of these implants, methods for coating Mg have been actively investigated. In this study, poly(ether imide) (PEI)-silica hybrid material was coated on Mg, for the tunable degradation and enhanced biological behavior. Homogeneous PEI-silica hybrid materials with various silica contents were coated on Mg substrates without any cracks, where silica nanoparticles were well dispersed in the PEI matrix without significant particle agglomeration up the 30 vol% silica. The hybrid coatings maintained good adhesion strength of PEI to Mg. The corrosion rate of hybrid-coated Mg was increased along with the increment of the silica content, due to improved hydrophilicity of the hybrid coating layers. Moreover, the biocompatibility of the hybrid-coated Mg specimens was significantly improved, mainly due to the higher Mg ion concentrations associated with faster corrosion, compared to PEI-coated Mg. Therefore, PEI-silica hybrid systems have significant potential as a coating material of Mg for load-bearing orthopedic applications by providing tunable corrosion behavior and enhanced biological performance.

Abstract
In order to research the corrosion behavior of bioglass-ceramic coated magnesium alloys under applied forces, mesoporous 45S5 bioactive glass-ceramic (45S5 MBGC) coatings were successfully prepared on AZ31 substrates using a sol-gel dip-coating technique followed by a heat treatment at the temperature of 400°C. In this work, corrosion behavior of the coated samples under applied forces was characterized by electrochemical tests and immersion tests in simulated body fluid. Results showed that the glass-ceramic coatings lost the protective effects to the magnesium substrate in a short time when the applied compressive stress was greater than 25MPa, and no crystallized apatite was formed on the surface due to the high Mg(2+) releasing and the peeling off of the coatings. Whereas, under low applied forces, apatite deposition and crystallization on the coating surface repaired cracks to some extent, thus improving the corrosion resistance of the coated magnesium during the long-term immersion period.
