[PMID: 37392919 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.125624] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Revised: 06/14/2023] [Accepted: 06/28/2023] [Indexed: 07/03/2023]
Abstract
Severe bone defects that extend beyond a critical size do not heal on their own, increasing the risk of complications and leading to poor outcomes for patients. Healing is a highly coordinated and complex process in which immune cells have an important function making the design and preparation of biomaterials with immunomodulatory functions an important new therapeutic strategy. 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (VD3) is crucial for bone metabolism and immune regulation. For post-defect bone regeneration, we developed a drug delivery system (DDS) based on chitosan (CS) and nanoparticles (NPs) to sustain the release effect of VD3 and desirable biological characteristics. The hydrogel system was physically characterized and confirmed to have good mechanical strength, degradation rate, and drug release rate. In vitro experiments showed that the cells had good biological activity when the hydrogel was co-cultured with MC3T3-E1 and RAW264.7. The high expression of ARG-1 and low expression of iNOS in macrophages confirmed that VD3-NPs/CS-GP hydrogel transformed lipopolysaccharide-induced M1 macrophages into M2 macrophages. Alkaline phosphatase and alizarin red staining showed that VD3-NPs/CS-GP hydrogel promoted osteogenic differentiation under inflammatory conditions. In conclusion, VD3-NPs/CS-GP hydrogel with synergistic anti-inflammatory and pro-osteogenic differentiation effects may serve as a potential immunomodulatory biomaterial for bone repair and regeneration in cases of bone defects.

Abstract
Although titanium and titanium alloys have become the preferred materials for various medical implants, surface modification technology still needs to be strengthened in order to adapt to the complex physiological environment of the human body. Compared with physical or chemical modification methods, biochemical modification, such as the introduction of functional hydrogel coating on implants, can fix biomolecules such as proteins, peptides, growth factors, polysaccharides, or nucleotides on the surface of the implants, so that they can directly participate in biological processes; regulate cell adhesion, proliferation, migration, and differentiation; and improve the biological activity on the surface of the implants. This review begins with a look at common substrate materials for hydrogel coatings on implant surfaces, including natural polymers such as collagen, gelatin, chitosan, and alginate, and synthetic materials such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylamide, polyethylene glycol, and polyacrylic acid. Then, the common construction methods of hydrogel coating (electrochemical method, sol-gel method and layer-by-layer self-assembly method) are introduced. Finally, five aspects of the enhancement effect of hydrogel coating on the surface bioactivity of titanium and titanium alloy implants are described: osseointegration, angiogenesis, macrophage polarization, antibacterial effects, and drug delivery. In this paper, we also summarize the latest research progress and point out the future research direction. After searching, no previous relevant literature reporting this information was found.

Porous surface with fusion peptides embedded in strontium titanate nanotubes elevates osteogenic and antibacterial activity of additively manufactured titanium alloy. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2023; 224:113188.

Abstract
It is still a big challenge in orthopedics to treat infected bone defects properly using medical metals. The use of three-dimensional (3D) scaffold materials that simultaneously mimic the skeletal hierarchy and induce sustainable osteogenic and antibacterial functions are a promising solution with an increasing appeal. In this study, we first designed a bifunctional fusion peptide (HHC36-RGD, HR) by linking antimicrobial peptide (HHC36) and arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) peptide via 6-aminohexanoic acid. Then the 3D scaffold was fabricated by additive manufacturing, and the strontium titanate nanotube structure (3D-STN) was constructed on its surface. Finally, the HR was anchored to the 3D-STN with the aid of polydopamine (PDA, P), forming the 3D-STN-P-HR scaffold. The results showed that the scaffold exhibited an ordered 3D porous structure, and that the surface was covered by a dense HHC36-RGD layer. Expectedly, the adsorption of PDA effectively slowed down the release of HR. Moreover, the functionalized scaffold had a significant inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, and its antibacterial rate could reach more than 95%. The results of in vitro cell culture experiments demonstrated that the 3D-STN-P-HR scaffold possessed excellent cytocompatibility and could promote the transcription of osteogenic differentiation-related genes and the expression of related proteins. In conclusion, the functionally modified 3D porous titanium alloy scaffold (3D-STN-P-HR) has a balanced antibacterial and osteogenic function, which bodes well for future potential in the customized functional reconstruction of complex-shaped infected bone defects.

The role of Vitamin D as an adjunct for bone regeneration: A systematic review of literature. Saudi Dent J 2023; 35:220-232. [PMID: 37091280 PMCID: PMC10114593 DOI: 10.1016/j.sdentj.2023.02.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2023] [Accepted: 02/23/2023] [Indexed: 03/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and objectives In spite of bone's healing capacity, critical-size bone defect regeneration and peri-implant osseointegration are challenging. Tissue engineering provides better outcomes, but requires expensive adjuncts like stem cells, growth factors and bone morphogenic proteins. Vitamin D (Vit.D) regulates calcium and phosphorus metabolism, and helps maintain bone health. Vit.D supplements in deficient patients, accentuates bone healing and regeneration. Therefore the aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the role of adjunctive Vit.D on bone defect regeneration. Methods Comprehensive database search of indexed literature, published between January 1990 and June 2022, was carried out. English language articles fulfilling inclusion criteria (clinical/in vivo studies evaluating bone regeneration including osseointegration and in vitro studies assessing osteogenic differentiation, with adjunct Vit.D) were identified and screened. Results Database search identified 384 titles. After sequential title, abstract and full-text screening, 23 studies (in vitro - 9/in vivo - 14) were selected for review. Vit.D as an adjunct with stem cells and osteoblasts resulted in enhanced osteogenic differentiation and upregulation of genes coding for bone matrix proteins and alkaline phosphatase. When used in vivo, Vit.D resulted in early and increased new bone formation and mineralization within osseous defects, and better bone implant contact and osseointegration, around implants. Adjunct Vit.D in animals with induced systemic illnesses resulted in bone defect regeneration and osseointegration comparable to healthy animals. While systemic and local administration of Vit.D resulted in enhanced bone defect healing, outcomes were superior with systemic route. Conclusions Based on this review, adjunct Vit.D enhances bone defect regeneration and osseointegration. In vitro application of Vit.D to stem cells and osteoblasts enhances osteogenic differentiation. Vit.D is a potentially non-invasive and inexpensive adjunct for clinical bone regeneration and osseointegration. Long term clinical trials are recommended to establish protocols relating to type, dosage, frequency, duration and route of administration.

Abstract
As clusters of peptides or steroids capable of high-efficiency information transmission, hormones have been substantiated to coordinate metabolism, growth, development, and other physiological processes, especially in bone physiology and repair metabolism. In recent years, the application of hormones for implant osseointegration has become a research hotspot. Herein, we provide a comprehensive overview of the relevant reports on endogenous hormones and their corresponding supplementary preparations to explore the association between hormones and the prognosis of implants. We also discuss the effects and mechanisms of insulin, parathyroid hormone, melatonin, vitamin D, and growth hormone on osseointegration at the molecular and body levels to provide a foothold and guide future research on the systemic conditions that affect the implantation process and expand the relative contraindications of the implant, and the pre-and post-operative precautions. This review shows that systemic hormones can regulate the osseointegration of oral implants through endogenous or exogenous drug-delivery methods.

Abstract
There is an increasing demand for biomaterials with skull regeneration for clinical application. However, most of the current skull repair materials still have limitations, such as inadequate sources, poor cell adherence, differentiation, tissue infiltration, and foreign body sensation. Therefore, this study developed porous microsphere-based scaffolds containing mouse embryonic osteoblast precursor cells (MC3T3-E1 cells) and calcitriol (Cal) using gelatin and gelatin/hydroxyapatite through green freeze-crosslinking and freeze-drying. Gelatin was employed to prepare porous microspheres with a particle size of 100-300 μm, containing open pores of 2-70 μm and interconnected paths. Furthermore, the addition of Cal to porous gelatin microsphere-based scaffolds containing MC3T3-E1 cells (PGMSs-MC) and porous gelatin/hydroxyapatite composite microspheres containing MC3T3-E1 cells (HPGMSs-MC) improved their osteoinductivity and cell proliferation and promoted the formation of mature and well-organized bone. The developed Cal-HPGMSs-MC and Cal-PGMSs-MC displayed a good porous structure and cytocompatibility, histocompatibility, osteoconductivity, and osteoinduction. Thus, the designed scaffolds provide a promising prospect for tissue-engineered constructs with skull growth and integration, laying a foundation for further research on the reconstruction of skull defects.

Abstract
Breakthroughs in the field of nanotechnology, especially in nanochemistry and nanofabrication technologies, have been attracting much attention, and various nanomaterials have recently been developed for biomedical applications. Among these nanomaterials, nanoscale titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2) has been widely valued in stomatology due to the fact of its excellent biocompatibility, antibacterial activity, and photocatalytic activity as well as its potential use for applications such as dental implant surface modification, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, drug delivery carrier, dental material additives, and oral tumor diagnosis and treatment. However, the biosafety of nano-TiO2 is controversial and has become a key constraint in the development of nano-TiO2 applications in stomatology. Therefore, in this review, we summarize recent research regarding the applications of nano-TiO2 in stomatology, with an emphasis on its performance characteristics in different fields, and evaluations of the biological security of nano-TiO2 applications. In addition, we discuss the challenges, prospects, and future research directions regarding applications of nano-TiO2 in stomatology that are significant and worthy of further exploration.

Abstract
Titanium and its alloys are the most widely applied orthopedic and dental implant materials due to their high biocompatibility, superior corrosion resistance, and outstanding mechanical properties. However, the lack of superior osseointegration remains the main obstacle to successful implantation. Previous traditional surface modification methods of titanium-based implants cannot fully meet the clinical needs of osseointegration. The construction of local drug delivery systems (e.g., antimicrobial drug delivery systems, anti-bone resorption drug delivery systems, etc.) on titanium-based implants has been proved to be an effective strategy to improve osseointegration. Meanwhile, these drug delivery systems can also be combined with traditional surface modification methods, such as anodic oxidation, acid etching, surface coating technology, etc., to achieve desirable and enhanced osseointegration. In this paper, we review the research progress of different local drug delivery systems using titanium-based implants and provide a theoretical basis for further research on drug delivery systems to promote bone–implant integration in the future.

Early, high-throughput, and accurate recognition of osteogenic differentiation of stem cells is urgently required in stem cell therapy, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. In this study, we established an automatic deep learning algorithm, i.e., osteogenic convolutional neural network (OCNN), to quantitatively measure the osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs). rBMSCs stained with F-actin and DAPI during early differentiation (day 0, 1, 4, and 7) were captured using laser confocal scanning microscopy to train OCNN. As a result, OCNN successfully distinguished differentiated cells at a very early stage (24 h) with a high area under the curve (AUC) (0.94 ± 0.04) and correlated with conventional biochemical markers. Meanwhile, OCNN exhibited better prediction performance compared with the single morphological parameters and support vector machine. Furthermore, OCNN successfully predicted the dose-dependent effects of small-molecule osteogenic drugs and a cytokine. OCNN-based online learning models can further recognize the osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs cultured on several material surfaces. Hence, this study initially demonstrated the foreground of OCNN in osteogenic drug and biomaterial screening for next-generation tissue engineering and stem cell research.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 12:47.

Abstract
Titanium implants have always been regarded as one of the gold standard treatments for orthopedic applications, but they still face challenges such as pain, bacterial infections, insufficient osseointegration, immune rejection, and difficulty in personalizing treatment in the clinic. These challenges may lead to the patients having to undergo a painful second operation, along with increased economic burden, but the use of drugs is actively solving these problems. The use of systemic drug delivery systems through oral, intravenous, and intramuscular injection of various drugs with different pharmacological properties has effectively reduced the levels of inflammation, lowered the risk of endophytic bacterial infection, and regulated the progress of bone tumor cells, processing and regulating the balance of bone metabolism around the titanium implants. However, due to the limitations of systemic drug delivery systems-such as pharmacokinetics, and the characteristics of bone tissue in the event of different forms of trauma or disease-sometimes the expected effect cannot be achieved. Meanwhile, titanium implants loaded with drugs for local administration have gradually attracted the attention of many researchers. This article reviews the latest developments in local drug delivery systems in recent years, detailing how various types of drugs cooperate with titanium implants to enhance antibacterial, antitumor, and osseointegration effects. Additionally, we summarize the improved technology of titanium implants for drug loading and the control of drug release, along with molecular mechanisms of bone regeneration and vascularization. Finally, we lay out some future prospects in this field.

Abstract
Bone integration on the surface of titanium prosthesis is critical to the success of implant surgery. Good Bone integration at the contact interface is the basis of long-term stability. TiO2 nanotubes have become one of the most commonly used modification techniques for artificial joint prostheses and bone defect implants due to their good biocompatibility, mechanical properties and chemical stability. TiO2 nanotubes can promote F-actin polymerization in bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and osteogenic differentiation. The possibility of F-actin as an upstream part to regulate GCN5 initiation of osteogenesis was discussed. The results of gene loss and functional acquisition assay, immunoblotting assay and fluorescence staining assay showed that TiO2 nanotubes could promote the differentiation of BMSCs into osteoblasts. The intervention of TiO2 nanotubes can make BMSCs form stronger F-actin fibre bundles, which can drive the differentiation process of osteogenesis. Our results showed that F-actin mediated nanotube-induced cell differentiation through promoting the expression of GCN5 and enhancing the function of GCN5 and GCN5 was a key regulator of the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs induced by TiO2 nanotubes as a downstream mediated osteogenesis of F-actin, providing a novel insight into the study of osteogenic differentiation on surface of TiO2 nanotubes.

Abstract
Implant-associated infections (IAIs) are among the most intractable and costly complications in implant surgery. They can lead to surgery failure, a high economic burden, and a decrease in patient quality of life. This manuscript is devoted to introducing current antimicrobial strategies for additively manufactured (AM) titanium (Ti) implants and fostering a better understanding in order to pave the way for potential modern high-throughput technologies. Most bactericidal strategies rely on implant structure design and surface modification. By means of rational structural design, the performance of AM Ti implants can be improved by maintaining a favorable balance between the mechanical, osteogenic, and antibacterial properties. This subject becomes even more important when working with complex geometries; therefore, it is necessary to select appropriate surface modification techniques, including both topological and chemical modification. Antibacterial active metal and antibiotic coatings are among the most commonly used chemical modifications in AM Ti implants. These surface modifications can successfully inhibit bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation, and bacterial apoptosis, leading to improved antibacterial properties. As a result of certain issues such as drug resistance and cytotoxicity, the development of novel and alternative antimicrobial strategies is urgently required. In this regard, the present review paper provides insights into the enhancement of bactericidal properties in AM Ti implants.

Abstract
Our objectives were to determine whether PLA implants can be used in TTA with successful results; secondly, to observe whether they provide a faster bone healing; finally, to determine whether weight or age influences bone healing scores. PLA cages were created with a 3D printer. TTA by MMT with PLA implants was performed in 24 patients. Follow-ups were carried out pre-surgical, at 1, 2, and 5 months and consisted of a radiographic study and a lameness assessment. A comparison was performed in terms of weight and age. Patients data, time between follow-up examinations, healing score, and lameness score were compared between patients using commercial software for statistically significant differences p < 0.05. Eighteen dogs finished the study. The ossification degrees presented statistically significant differences between each other. PLA implants maintained the advancement in 100% of cases. Comparing weight and age did not present any statistically significant differences between groups. Lameness presented statistically significant differences between follow-up examinations. Complications were observed in 20.8%. PLA implants for TTA provide good functional results, presenting an acceptable rate of complications. They provide a faster bone healing of the osteotomy gap, which was not affected by age or body weight, and have a clinical recovery time similar to metallic implants.

Abstract
This study aimed to fabricate a hierarchical tantalum scaffold mimicking natural bone structure to enhance osseointegration. Porous tantalum scaffolds (p-Ta) with microgradients were fabricated by selective laser melting according to a computer-aided design model. Electrochemical anodization produced nanotubes on the p-Ta surface (p-Ta-nt). SEM verified the construction of a unique nanostructure on p-Ta-nt. Contact angle and protein adsorption measurements demonstrated that p-Ta-nt have enhanced hydrophilicity and protein absorption. MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts showed increased filamentous pseudopods and comparable cell proliferation when cultured on p-Ta-nt. Osteogenic marker gene (Osterix, Runx2, COL-I) transcription was significantly upregulated in MC3T3-E1 cells cultured on p-Ta-nt after 7 days. After implantation into the femurs of New Zealand white rabbits for 2 weeks, histological examination found improved early osseointegration in the p-Ta-nt group. This study showed that a hierarchical tantalum structure could enhance early osteogenic effects in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Advances in biomaterials and the need for patient-specific bone scaffolds require modern manufacturing approaches in addition to a design strategy. Hybrid materials such as those with functionally graded properties are highly needed in tissue replacement and repair. However, their constituents, proportions, sizes, configurations and their connection to each other are a challenge to manufacturing. On the other hand, various bone defect sizes and sites require a cost-effective readily adaptive manufacturing technique to provide components (scaffolds) matching with the anatomical shape of the bone defect. Additive manufacturing or three-dimensional (3D) printing is capable of fabricating functional physical components with or without porosity by depositing the materials layer-by-layer using 3D computer models. Therefore, it facilitates the production of advanced bone scaffolds with the feasibility of making changes to the model. This review paper first discusses the development of a computer-aided-design (CAD) approach for the manufacture of bone scaffolds, from the anatomical data acquisition to the final model. It also provides information on the optimization of scaffold's internal architecture, advanced materials, and process parameters to achieve the best biomimetic performance. Furthermore, the review paper describes the advantages and limitations of 3D printing technologies applied to the production of bone tissue scaffolds.
