[PMID: 36840842 DOI: 10.1007/s10561-023-10077-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2023] [Accepted: 02/01/2023] [Indexed: 02/26/2023]
Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to process and assess the effect of hydrated amnion chorion membrane and dehydrated amnion chorion membrane on proliferation of periodontal ligament (PDL) fibroblast cells. The amnion chorion membrane (ACM) from placenta of 18 systemically healthy patients was obtained from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. They were processed as hydrated and dehydrated based on different processing methods. The Periodontal ligament cells were obtained from periodontal ligament of freshly extracted premolars of systemically healthy patients, due to orthodontic reasons. The PDL cells were further cultured in laboratory and were exposed to hydrated and dehydrated amnion chorion membrane. The MTT assay was performed to assess the proliferation of PDL fibroblast cells after 24 and 48 h. The hydrated and dehydrated amnion chorion membrane showed proliferation of PDL fibroblasts after 24 and 48 h. The proliferation of PDL fibroblasts in hydrated (p = 0.043) and dehydrated (p = 0.050) amnion chorion membrane was statistically significant at the end of 24 and 48 h respectively. On inter-group comparison dehydrated ACM showed significant proliferation of PDL fibroblasts after 24 (p=0.014) and 48 h (p=0.019). Within the limits of the present study, it can be concluded: both hydrated and dehydrated amnion chorion membrane showed proliferationof PDL fibroblast cells. However, dehydrated ACM showed significant proliferation of PDL fibroblasts.

Effect of gamma irradiation and supercritical carbon dioxide sterilization with Novakill™ or ethanol on the fracture toughness of cortical bone. J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2024; 112:e35356. [PMID: 38247241 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.b.35356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2023] [Revised: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
Sterilization of structural bone allografts is a critical process prior to their clinical use in large cortical bone defects. Gamma irradiation protocols are known to affect tissue integrity in a dose dependent manner. Alternative sterilization treatments, such as supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2 ), are gaining popularity due to advantages such as minimal exposure to denaturants, the lack of toxic residues, superior tissue penetration, and minor impacts on mechanical properties including strength and stiffness. The impact of SCCO2 on the fracture toughness of bone tissue, however, remains unknown. Here, we evaluate crack initiation and growth toughness after 2, 6, and 24 h SCCO2 -treatment using Novakill™ and ethanol as additives on ~11 samples per group obtained from a pair of femur diaphyses of a canine. All mechanical testing was performed at ambient air after 24 h soaking in Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS). Results show no statistically significant difference in the failure characteristics of the Novakill™-treated groups whereas crack growth toughness after 6 and 24 h of treatment with ethanol significantly increases by 37% (p = .010) and 34% (p = .038), respectively, compared to an untreated control group. In contrast, standard 25 kGy gamma irradiation causes significantly reduced crack growth resistance by 40% (p = .007) compared to untreated bone. FTIR vibrational spectroscopy, conducted after testing, reveals a consistent trend of statistically significant differences (p < .001) with fracture toughness. These trends align with variations in the ratios of enzymatic mature to immature crosslinks in the collagen structure, suggesting a potential association with fracture toughness. Additional Raman spectroscopy after testing shows a similar trend with statistically significant differences (p < .005), which further supports that collagen structural changes occur in the SCF-treated groups with ethanol after 6 and 24 h. Our work reveals the benefits of SCCO2 sterilization compared to gamma irradiation.

Diabetes-related Screw Loosening: The Distinction of Surgical Sites and the Relationship among Diabetes, Implant Stabilization and Clinical Outcomes. Orthop Surg 2023; 15:3136-3145. [PMID: 37853938 PMCID: PMC10694010 DOI: 10.1111/os.13915] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2023] [Revised: 09/05/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/20/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Diabetes mellitus (DM) is correlated with poor clinical outcomes in spinal surgery. However, the effect of it on screw stabilization has not been investigated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the screw loosening rate and postoperative outcomes in diabetic patients and to identify potential risk factors associated with loosening. METHODS This was a retrospective study. Two hundred and forty-three patients who received cervical or lumbar internal fixation between 2015 and 2019 were enrolled. Screw loosening was assessed on radiography, and clinical outcomes were evaluated by the improvement of visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI) or Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores. The relationship of DM, screw loosening and clinical outcomes were analyzed with chi-square tests and regression analyses. RESULTS One hundred and twenty-two patients (50.2%) with diabetes were included in this study. Diabetes led to the increase of the rate of screw loosening in the lumbar spine, while the loosening rate did not vary significantly in the cervical spine. The occurrence of screw loosening in the lumbar spine was more likely to be associated with clinical outcomes for motor performance including walking and sitting. However, no significant effect on JOA and VAS scores in the cervical spine of screw loosening was found. Moreover, the history of DM affected the outcomes of the patients who underwent spinal surgery. CONCLUSION DM had an adverse effect on screw stabilization. The impaired improvement of clinical outcomes in diabetics after spinal surgery was related to screw loosening. In addition to the direct effects on operative wounds and neural function, the impact on the screws due to DM was also worth noting.

Calcif Tissue Int 2023; 113:597-608. [PMID: 37880520 PMCID: PMC10673987 DOI: 10.1007/s00223-023-01143-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/27/2023]
Abstract
In-vivo bone microstructure measured by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) is gaining importance in research and clinical practice. Second-generation HR-pQCT (XCT2) shows improved image quality and shorter measurement duration compared to the first generation (XCT1). Predicting and understanding the occurrence of motion artifacts is crucial for clinical practice. We retrospectively analyzed data from HR-pQCT measurements at the distal radius and tibia of 1,000 patients (aged 20 to 89) evenly distributed between both generations of HR-pQCT. Motion artifacts were graded between 1 (no motion) and 5 (severe motion), with grades greater 3 considered unusable. Additionally, baseline characteristics and patients' muscle performance and balance were measured. Various group comparisons between the two generations of HR-pQCT and regression analyses between patient characteristics and motion grading were performed. The study groups of XCT1 and XCT2 did not differ by age (XCT1: 64.9 vs. XCT2: 63.8 years, p = 0.136), sex (both 74.5% females, p > 0.999), or BMI (both 24.2 kg/m2, p = 0.911) after propensity score matching. XCT2 scans exhibited significantly lower motion grading in both extremities compared to XCT1 (Radius: p < 0.001; Tibia: p = 0.002). In XCT2 motion-corrupted scans were more than halved at the radius (XCT1: 35.3% vs. XCT2: 15.5%, p < 0.001), and at the tibia the frequency of best image quality scans was increased (XCT1: 50.2% vs. XCT2: 63.7%, p < 0.001). The strongest independent predictor for motion-corrupted images is the occurrence of high motion grading at the other scanning site during the same consultation. The association between high motion grading in one scan and a corresponding high motion grading in another scan within the same session suggests a non-resting patient. Additionally, aged, female, and patients with smaller stature tend towards higher motion grading, requiring special attention to a correct extremity fixation.

J Bone Miner Res 2023; 38:1032-1042. [PMID: 37191221 PMCID: PMC10524463 DOI: 10.1002/jbmr.4828] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2022] [Revised: 04/06/2023] [Accepted: 05/07/2023] [Indexed: 05/17/2023]
Abstract
The observed increased risk of fracture after cancer radiation therapy is presumably due to a radiation-induced reduction in whole-bone strength. However, the mechanisms for impaired strength remain unclear, as the increased fracture risk is not fully explained by changes in bone mass. To provide insight, a small animal model was used to determine how much of this whole-bone weakening effect for the spine is attributable to changes in bone mass, structure, and material properties of the bone tissue and their relative effects. Further, because women have a greater risk of fracture after radiation therapy than men, we investigated if sex had a significant influence on bone's response to irradiation. Fractionated in vivo irradiation (10 × 3 Gy) or sham irradiation (0 Gy) was administered daily to the lumbar spine in twenty-seven 17-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 6-7/sex/group). Twelve weeks after final treatment, animals were euthanized, and lumbar vertebrae (L4 and L5 ) were isolated. Using a combination of biomechanical testing, micro-CT-based finite element analysis, and statistical regression analysis, we separated out the effect of mass, structural, and tissue material changes on vertebral strength. Compared with the sham group (mean ± SD strength = 420 ± 88 N), the mean strength of the irradiated group was lower by 28% (117 N/420 N, p < 0.0001). Overall, the response of treatment did not differ with sex. By combining results from both general linear regression and finite element analyses, we calculated that mean changes in bone mass, structure, and material properties of the bone tissue accounted for 56% (66 N/117 N), 20% (23 N/117 N), and 24% (28 N/117 N), respectively, of the overall change in strength. As such, these results provide insight into why an elevated clinical fracture risk for patients undergoing radiation therapy is not well explained by changes in bone mass alone. © 2023 The Authors.
