MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:682. [PMID: 36676415 PMCID: PMC9864383 DOI: 10.3390/ma16020682] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Revised: 12/28/2022] [Accepted: 01/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Problems of rapid degradation and poor biocompatibility (endothelialization and hemocompatibility) limit magnesium (Mg) alloy's further applications in vascular stents. To solve these problems, a novel composite coating was designed on Mg alloy via a two-step method. First, a Mg alloy sample was immersed in hydrofluoric acid. Then, a poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) coating was made by ultrasonic atomization spraying with 5 and 10 layers (referred to as PLLA(5)-HF-Mg and PLLA(10)-HF-Mg). Characterizations were analyzed from the microstructure, element distribution, and wettability. The degradation behavior was tested with an electrochemical test and immersion test. Endothelialization was investigated using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Hemocompatibility was examined with a platelet adhesion test. The results showed that the PLLA coating could not only cover the surface, but also could permeate through and cover the holes on the MgF2 layer, mechanically locked with the substrate. Thus, the composite coating had higher corrosion resistance. The PLLA/MgF2 coating, especially on PLLA(10)-HF-Mg, enhanced HUVECs' viability and growth. While incubated with platelets, the PLLA/MgF2 coating, especially on PLLA(10)-HF-Mg, had the lowest platelet adhesion number and activity. Taken together, the novel PLLA/MgF2 coating controls Mg alloy's degradation by spraying different layers of PLLA, resulting in better endothelialization and hemocompatibility, providing a promising candidate for cardiovascular stents.

Abstract
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) therapy demonstrates a prominent curative effect on the management of craniomaxillofacial (CMF) bone defects. In this study, a GBR membrane consisting of a microporous layer and a struvite-nanowire-doped fibrous layer is constructed via non-solvent induced phase separation, followed by an electrospinning procedure to treat critical-sized calvarial defects. The microporous layer shows selective permeability for excluding the rapid-growing non-osteogenic tissues and potential wound stabilization. The nanowire-like struvite is synthesized as the deliverable therapeutic agent within the fibrous layer to facilitate bone regeneration. Such a membrane displays a well-developed heterogeneous architecture, satisfactory mechanical performance, and long-lasting characteristics. The in vitro biological evaluation reveals that apart from being a strong barrier, the bilayer struvite-laden membrane can actively promote cellular adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation. Consequently, the multifunctional struvite-doped membranes are applied to treat 5 mm-sized bilateral calvarial defects in rats, resulting in overall improved healing outcomes compared with the untreated or the struvite-free membrane-treated group, which is characterized by enhanced osteogenesis and significantly increased new bone formation. The encouraging preclinical results reveal the great potential of the bilayer struvite-doped membrane as a clinical GBR device for augmenting large-area CMF bone reconstruction.

Abstract
Porous surfaces have attracted tremendous interest for customized incorporation of functional agents on biomedical devices. However, the versatile preparation of porous structures on complicated devices remains challenging. Herein, we proposed a simple and robust method to fabricate "spongy skin" on diversified polymeric substrates based on non-solvent-induced phase separation (NIPS). Through the swelling and the subsequent phase separation process, interconnected porous structures were directly formed onto the polymeric substrates. The thickness and pore size could be regulated in the ranges of 5-200 and 0.3-0.75 μm, respectively. The fast capillary action of the porous structure enabled controllable loading and sustained release of ofloxacin and bovine albumin at a high loading dosage of 79.9 and 24.1 μg/cm2, respectively. We verified that this method was applicable to diversified materials including polymethyl methacrylate, polystyrene, thermoplastic polyurethane, polylactide acid, and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) and can be realized onto TCPS cell culture plates. This NIPS-based method is promising to generate porous surfaces on medical devices for incorporating therapeutic agents.

Abstract
The search for coatings that extend the useful life of biomedical devices has been of great interest, and titanium has been of great relevance due to its innocuousness and low reactivity. This study contributes to the investigation of Ti/Ag films in different configurations (monolayer and multilayer) deposited by magnetron sputtering. The sessile droplet technique was applied to study wettability; greater film penetrability was obtained when Ag is the external layer, conferring high efficiency in cell adhesion. The morphological properties were characterized by SEM, which showed porous nuclei on the surface in the Ag coating and crystals embedded in the Ti film. The structural properties were studied by XRD, revealing the presence of TiO2 in the anatase crystalline phase in a proportion of 49.9% and the formation of a silver cubic network centered on the faces. Tafel polarization curves demonstrated improvements in the corrosion current densities of Ag/Ti/Ag/Ti/Ag/Ti/Ag/Ti and Ti/Ag compared to the Ag coating, with values of 0.1749, 0.4802, and 2.044 nA.m-2, respectively. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated against the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis and the yeasts Candida krusei and Candida albicans, revealing that the Ti/Ag and Ag/Ti/Ag/Ti/Ag/Ti/Ag/Ti coatings exhibit promise in biomedical material applications.

Abstract
Magnesium is currently increasing interest in the field of biomaterials. An extensive bibliography on this material in the last two decades arises from its potential for the development of biodegradable implants. In addition, many researches, motivated by this progress, have analyzed the performance of magnesium in both in vitro and in vivo assays with gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria in a very broad range of conditions. This review explores the extensive literature in recent years on magnesium in biomaterials-related infections, and discusses the mechanisms of the Mg action on bacteria, as well as the competition of Mg2+ and/or synergy with other divalent cations in this subject.
