Abstract
As potential degradable biomaterials, magnesium (Mg) alloys have development prospects in the field of orthopedic load-bearing, whereas the clinical application has encountered a bottleneck due to a series of problems caused by its rapid corrosion. In this study, strontium-substituted calcium phosphate (CaP) coatings with different structures were prepared on the surface of the Mg matrix by a simple one-step electrodeposition method at different temperatures, which enhanced the poor corrosion resistance of the Mg matrix. The coated sample prepared at 65 °C reduced the corrosion current density by 3 orders of magnitude and increased the impedance by nearly 2 orders of magnitude compared with bare Mg alloy, thanks to its dense fibrous structure similar to that of natural bones. Although the coating composition varies with different preparation temperatures, CaP, as an inorganic component similar to natural bone, has good cytocompatibility. Doping the right amount of strontium, which is a trace element in human bones, is beneficial to stimulate osteoblast differentiation, inhibit the activity of osteoclasts, and induce the formation of bone tissues. This provides a new option for modifying the Mg alloy with CaP coatings as a base.

Abstract
The development of bioactive scaffolds by mimicking bone tissue extracellular matrix is promising for bone regeneration. Herein, inspired by the bone tissue composition, a novel pearl powder (PP) hybrid fish gelatin methacrylate (GelMa) hydrogel scaffold loaded with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) for bone regeneration is presented. With the help of microfluidic-assisted 3D printing technology, the composition and structure of the hybrid scaffold can be accurately controlled to meet clinical requirements. The combination of fish skin GelMa and PP also endowed the hybrid scaffold with good biocompatibility, cell adhesion, and osteogenic differentiation ability. Moreover, the controlled release of VEGF enables the scaffold to promote angiogenesis. Thus, the bone regeneration in the proposed scaffolds could be accelerated under the synergic effect of osteogenesis and angiogenesis, which has been proved in the rat skull defect model. These features indicate that the PP hybrid scaffolds will be an ideal candidate for bone regeneration in clinical applications.

Recent Developments in Additive-Manufactured Intermetallic Compounds for Bio-Implant Applications. J Med Biol Eng 2022. [DOI: 10.1007/s40846-022-00753-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
This paper reviews the recent developments of two newly developed intermetallic compounds (IMCs) of metallic glasses (MGs) and high-entropy alloys (HEAs) as potential implantable biomaterials.
Methods
The paper commences by summarizing the fundamental properties of recently developed MGs and high-entropy alloys (HEAs). A systematic review is presented of the recent literature about the use of AM technology in fabricating MG and HEA components for biological implant applications.
Results
The high strength, low Young’s modulus, and excellent corrosion resistance make these IMCs good candidates as bio-implantable materials. Recent studies have shown that additive manufacturing (AM) techniques provide an advantageous route for the preparation of glassy metallic components due to their intrinsically rapid cooling rates and ability to fabricate parts with virtually no size or complexity constraints. A practical example is conducted by AM producing a porous gradient Ti-based MG spinal cage. The produced MG powders and the in vivo test results on an 18 M-old Lanyu pig confirm the feasibility of the AM technique for producing implantable IMC-based prosthesis.
Conclusion
The non-crystalline structure of MGs alloy and the random crystalline composition of HEAs provide unique material properties that will substantially impact the development of future implantable prostheses.

Abstract
This study summarizes the recent progress in thermoplastic drawing of bulk metallic glasses. The integration of drawing with templated embossing enables the fabrication of arrays of high-aspect-ratio nanostructures whereas the earlier drawing methodologies are limited to a single fiber. The two-step drawing can produce metallic glass structures such as, vertically aligned nanowires on substrates, nanoscale tensile specimens, hollow microneedles, helical shafts, and micro-yarns, which are challenging to fabricate with other thermoplastic forming operations. These geometries will open new applications for bulk metallic glasses in the areas of sensors, optical absorption, transdermal drug-delivery, and high-throughput characterization of size-effects. In this article, we review the emergence of template-based thermoplastic drawing in bulk metallic glasses. The review focuses on the development of experimental set-up, the quantitative description of drawing process, and the versatility of drawing methodology.

Abstract
We report a potential biomedical material, NbTaTiVZr, and the impact of surface roughness on the osteoblast culture and later behavior based on in vitro tests of preosteoblasts. Cell activities such as adhesion, viability, and typical protein activity on NbTaTiVZr showed comparable results with that of commercially pure Ti (CP-Ti). In addition, NbTaTiVZr with a smooth surface exhibits better cell adhesion, viability, and typical protein activity which shows that surface modification can improve the biocompatibility of NbTaTiVZr. This supports the biological evidence and shows that NbTaTiVZr can potentially be evaluated as a biomedical material for clinical use.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) alloy with good mechanical properties and biodegradability is considered as one of the ideal bone repair materials. However, the rapid corrosion of Mg-based metals can pose harm to the function of an implant in clinical applications. In this study, micro-arc oxidation coating was prepared on the surface of the Mg-Ca matrix, then the chitosan and mineralized collagen (nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen; nHAC) were immobilized on the surface of the MAO/Mg-Ca matrix to construct the CS-nHAC/Mg-Ca composites of different component proportions (the ratio of CS to nHAC is 2:1, 1:1, and 1:2, respectively). The corrosion resistance, osteogenic activity, and angiogenic ability were extensively investigated. The results indicated that the CS-nHAC reinforcement materials can improve the corrosion resistance of the Mg matrix significantly and promote the proliferation and adhesion of mouse embryo osteoblast precursor cells (MC3T3-E1) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). In addition, the CS-nHAC/Mg-Ca composites can not only promote the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and extracellular matrix mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells but also enhance the migration motility and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression of HUVECs. Meanwhile, the 2CS-1nHAC/Mg-Ca composite exhibited the optimum function characteristics compared with other samples. Therefore, considering the improvement of corrosion resistance and biocompatibility, the CS-nHAC/Mg-Ca composites are expected to be a promising orthopedic implant.

Abstract
Metallic glasses are known for their mechanical properties but lack plasticity. This could be prevented by combining them with other materials or by inducing a second phase to form a composite. These composites have enhanced thermo-physical properties. The review paper aims to outline a summary of the current research done on metallic glass and its composites. A background in the history, properties, and their applications is discussed. Recent developments in biocompatible metallic glass composites, fiber-reinforced metallic glass, ex situ and in situ, are discussed.

Abstract
Ternary magnesium alloys with low combined addition of elements gadolinium and zinc were developed in the present work, with their microstructures, mechanical properties, in vitro degradation behaviors, and cytotoxicity being systematically studied. Furthermore, the Mg-1.8Zn-0.2Gd alloy, with the best in vitro performance, was implanted into Sprague Dawley rats to examine its in vivo degradation performance for up to 6 months. It was found that Mg-1.8Zn-0.2Gd, composed of a single α-Mg phase, owned excellent strength and toughness that were comparable to the CE marked MAGNEZIX, the mischmetal added Mg alloy. Owing to the uniform single-phased microstructure, the degradation rate of this alloy was around 0.12 mm/y measured by electrochemical testing, which was comparable to high purity magnesium. Moreover, the Mg-1.8Zn-0.2Gd alloy exhibited no cytotoxicity to L929, MG63, and VSMC cells. In vivo degradation characterized by micro-computed tomography revealed that the Mg-1.8Zn-0.2Gd implant could maintain structural integrity in the first 2 months, and serious degradation could be observed after 6 months. A remarkable 100% survival rate of experimental animals was observed with no negative effects on bone tissues. The implant and the surrounding bone were well integrated within 2 months, implying good biocompatibility and osteoconductivity of the experimental alloy. On the basis of the above findings, the feasibility of Mg-Zn-Gd alloys for use as orthopedic implants was systematically discussed. This study provides a new strategy for development of high-performance Mg-rare earth (RE)-based alloys with superior mechanical properties and corrosion resistance while effectively avoiding the possible standing toxic effect of RE elements.

Abstract
Introduction of metals as biomaterials has been known for a long time. In the early development, sufficient strength and suitable mechanical properties were the main considerations for metal implants. With the development of new generations of biomaterials, the concepts of bioactive and biodegradable materials were proposed. Biological function design is very import for metal implants in biomedical applications. Three crucial design criteria are summarized for developing metal implants: (1) mechanical properties that mimic the host tissues; (2) sufficient bioactivities to form bio-bonding between implants and surrounding tissues; and (3) a degradation rate that matches tissue regeneration and biodegradability. This article reviews the development of metal implants and their applications in biomedical engineering. Development trends and future perspectives of metallic biomaterials are also discussed.

Abstract
Corrosion prevention in biomaterials has become crucial particularly to overcome inflammation and allergic reactions caused by the biomaterials' implants towards the human body. When these metal implants contacted with fluidic environments such as bloodstream and tissue of the body, most of them became mutually highly antagonistic and subsequently promotes corrosion. Biocompatible implants are typically made up of metallic, ceramic, composite and polymers. The present paper specifically focuses on biocompatible metals which favorably used as implants such as 316L stainless steel, cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, pure titanium and titanium-based alloys. This article also takes a close look at the effect of corrosion towards the implant and human body and the mechanism to improve it. Due to this corrosion delinquent, several surface modification techniques have been used to improve the corrosion behavior of biocompatible metals such as deposition of the coating, development of passivation oxide layer and ion beam surface modification. Apart from that, surface texturing methods such as plasma spraying, chemical etching, blasting, electropolishing, and laser treatment which used to improve corrosion behavior are also discussed in detail. Introduction of surface modifications to biocompatible metals is considered as a "best solution" so far to enhanced corrosion resistance performance; besides achieving superior biocompatibility and promoting osseointegration of biocompatible metals and alloys.

Abstract
There is a need to find better strategies to promote wound healing, especially of chronic wounds, which remain a challenge. We found that synovium mesenchymal stem cells (SMSCs) have the ability to strongly promote cell proliferation of fibroblasts; however, they are ineffective at promoting angiogenesis. Using gene overexpression technology, we overexpressed microRNA‐126‐3p (miR‐126‐3p) and transferred the angiogenic ability of endothelial progenitor cells to SMSCs, promoting angiogenesis. We tested a therapeutic strategy involving controlled‐release exosomes derived from miR‐126‐3p‐overexpressing SMSCs combined with chitosan. Our in vitro results showed that exosomes derived from miR‐126‐3p‐overexpressing SMSCs (SMSC‐126‐Exos) stimulated the proliferation of human dermal fibroblasts and human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC‐1) in a dose‐dependent manner. Furthermore, SMSC‐126‐Exos also promoted migration and tube formation of HMEC‐1. Testing this system in a diabetic rat model, we found that this approach resulted in accelerated re‐epithelialization, activated angiogenesis, and promotion of collagen maturity in vivo. These data provide the first evidence of the potential of SMSC‐126‐Exos in treating cutaneous wounds and indicate that modifying the cells—for example, by gene overexpression—and using the exosomes derived from these modified cells provides a potential drug delivery system and could have infinite possibilities for future therapy.
