[PMID: 37887949 PMCID: PMC10609396 DOI: 10.3390/nano13202799] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023]
Abstract
Bacterial infections and antibiotic resistance remain significant contributors to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite recent advances in biomedical research, a substantial number of medical devices and implants continue to be plagued by bacterial colonisation, resulting in severe consequences, including fatalities. The development of nanostructured surfaces with mechano-bactericidal properties has emerged as a promising solution to this problem. These surfaces employ a mechanical rupturing mechanism to lyse bacterial cells, effectively halting subsequent biofilm formation on various materials and, ultimately, thwarting bacterial infections. This review delves into the prevailing research progress within the realm of nanostructured mechano-bactericidal polymeric surfaces. It also investigates the diverse fabrication methods for developing nanostructured polymeric surfaces with mechano-bactericidal properties. We then discuss the significant challenges associated with each approach and identify research gaps that warrant exploration in future studies, emphasizing the potential for polymeric implants to leverage their distinct physical, chemical, and mechanical properties over traditional materials like metals.

Abstract
Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is the most common species that causes peri-implantitis. It forms an irreversible dense biofilm and causes inflammation. A novel 3D-printed porous TC4-6Cu alloy was fabricated using selective laser melting (SLM) technology for the dental implant, which is anticipated to inhibit biofilm formation. We attempted to investigate the antibacterial ability and antibacterial mechanism of the 3D-printed porous TC4-6Cu alloy against P. gingivalis. This work used scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and laser confocal microscopy (CLSM) to detect the antimicrobial ability of the alloy against sessile P. gingivalis. The results indicated that the 3D-printed porous TC4-6Cu alloy could cause bacterial fragmentation and deformation. Plate antimicrobial counting experiments showed that the antibacterial rates of the alloy against adherent bacteria and planktonic bacteria after 24 h were 98.05% and 73.92%, respectively. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of Cu2+ were tested to appraise the antibacterial property of the alloy against planktonic P. gingivalis. The relationship between the antibacterial mechanism of the alloy with oxidative stress was evaluated through ROS fluorescence intensity and protein leakage concentration. The results revealed that the alloy significantly eliminated adherent bacteria and inhibited biofilm formation. Moreover, 3D-printed porous TC4-6Cu alloy demonstrated significant bactericidal ability by inducing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which could result in protein leakage from the bacterial cell membrane. This research may open a new perspective on the development and biomedical applications for dental implantation.

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. [PMID: 36773409 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2023.113188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2022] [Revised: 01/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/31/2023] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
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.

Abstract
Delayed implant-associated infection is an important challenge, as the treatment involves a high risk of implant replacement. Mussel-inspired antimicrobial coatings can be applied to coat a variety of implants in a facile way, but the adhesive 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) group is prone to oxidation. Therefore, an antibacterial polypeptide copolymer poly(Phe7-stat-Lys10)-b-polyTyr3 was designed to prepare the implant coating upon tyrosinase-induced enzymatic polymerization for preventing implant-associated infections. Both poly(Phe7-stat-Lys10) and polyTyr3 blocks have specific functions: the former provides intrinsic antibacterial activity with a low risk to induce antimicrobial resistance, and the latter is attachable to the surface of implants to rapidly generate an antibacterial coating by in situ injection of polypeptide copolymer since tyrosine could be oxidized to DOPA under catalyzation of skin tyrosinase. This polypeptide coating with excellent antibacterial effect and desirable biofilm inhibition activity is promising for broad applications in a multitude of biomedical materials to combat delayed infections.

Abstract
Bone tissue exhibits critical factors for metastatic cancer cells and represents an extremely pleasant spot for further growth of tumors. The number of metastatic bone lesions and primary tumors that arise directly from cells comprised in the bone milieu is constantly increasing. Bioceramics have recently received significant attention in bone tissue engineering and local drug delivery applications. Additionally, additive manufacturing of bioceramics offers unprecedented advantages including the possibilities to fill irregular voids after the resection and fabricate patient-specific implants. Herein, we investigated the recent advances in additively manufactured bioceramics and ceramic-based composites that were used in the local bone tumor treatment and reconstruction of bone tumor defects. Furthermore, it has been extensively explained how to bi-functionalize ceramics-based biomaterials and what current limitations impede their clinical application. We have also discussed the importance of further development into ceramic-based biomaterials and molecular biology of bone tumors to: (1) discover new potential therapeutic targets to enhance conventional therapies, (2) local delivering of bio-molecular agents in a customized and "smart" way, and (3) accomplish a complete elimination of tumor cells in order to prevent tumor recurrence formation. We emphasized that by developing the research focus on the introduction of novel 3D-printed bioceramics with unique properties such as stimuli responsiveness, it will be possible to fabricate smart bioceramics that promote bone regeneration while minimizing the side-effects and effectively eradicate bone tumors while promoting bone regeneration. In fact, by combining all these therapeutic strategies and additive manufacturing, it is likely to provide personalized tumor-targeting therapies for cancer patients in the foreseeable future. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: To increase the survival rates of cancer patients, different strategies such as surgery, reconstruction, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, etc have proven to be essential. Nonetheless, these therapeutic protocols have reached a plateau in their effectiveness due to limitations including drug resistance, tumor recurrence after surgery, toxic side-effects, and impaired bone regeneration following tumor resection. Hence, novel approaches to specifically and locally attack cancer cells, while also regenerating the damaged bony tissue, have being developed in the past years. This review sheds light to the novel approaches that enhance local bone tumor therapy and reconstruction procedures by combining additive manufacturing of ceramic biomaterials and other polymers, bioactive molecules, nanoparticles to affect bone tumor functions, metabolism, and microenvironment.

Biomechanical performance of Ti-PEEK dental implants in bone: An in-silico analysis. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2022; 134:105422.

Abstract
Stress-shielding is caused by a significant mismatch in stiffness between bone tissue and Ti alloy dental implants. Therefore, in this study, a Ti-PEEK composite implant was examined and compared with conventional titanium, to determine the behavior of the host bone. Twelve 3D finite element models were modeled with two conditions of marginal cortical bone (with and without marginal bone loss). Six implant designs were constructed. Implant (A) was made with a conventional design (dense titanium), implants (B), (C) and (D) are designed with Ti-PEEK composite (outer layer made of PEEK and inner structures made of Ti with hexagonal, cylindrical, and cross shapes for implants (B), (C) and (D), respectively), the implant (E) is designed with Ti at the upper half section and PEEK at the bottom half section, and the implant (F) is designed with PEEK at the upper half section and Ti at the bottom half section. An axial load of 200 N was applied to the buccal cusp and central fossa of the occlusal surface. The displacements, stress, and equivalent strain were analyzed at the level of bone tissue. The mechanostat of Frost was used to determine the behavior of the cancellous bone under these biomechanical conditions. Results showed that strains were greater in cancellous bone with marginal bone loss than in healthy bone (w/o MBL). When compared to implants (B)-(F), conventional implant (A) did not produce as much strain. Thus, results and analyses suggest that the Ti-PEEK implants outperform compared with the implant (A) in the case of no marginal bone loss. However, the implants (A) and (E) perform equally in terms of bone loss.

Abstract
Drug depot systems have traditionally relied on the spontaneous dissolution and diffusion of drugs or prodrugs from a reservoir with constant exposure to the surrounding physiological fluids. While this is appropriate for clinical scenarios that require constant plasma concentration of the drug over time, there are also situations where multiple bursts of the drug at well-defined time intervals are preferred. This work presents a drug depot system that enables repeated on-demand release of antibiotics in precise doses, controlled by an external radiofrequency magnetic field. The remotely controlled depot system consists of composite microcapsules with a core-shell structure. The core contains micronized drug particles embedded in a low-melting hydrophobic matrix. The shell is formed by a hydrogel with immobilised magnetic nanoparticles that facilitate local heat dissipation after exposure to a radiofrequency magnetic field. When the melting point of the core material is locally exceeded, the embedded drug particles are mobilised and their surface is exposed to the external aqueous phase. It is shown that drug release can be controlled in an on/off manner by a chosen sequence and duration of radiofrequency pulses. The capacity of the depot system is shown to be significantly higher than that of purely diffusion-controlled systems containing a pre-dissolved drug. The functionality of the depot system is demonstrated in vitro for the specific case of norfloxacin acting on E. coli.

Abstract
The demand for joint replacement and other orthopedic surgeries involving titanium implants is continuously increasing; however, 1%-2% of surgeries result in costly and devastating implant associated infections (IAIs). Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus are two common pathogens known to colonise implants, leading to serious complications. Bioinspired surfaces with spike-like nanotopography have previously been shown to kill bacteria upon contact; however, the longer-term potential of such surfaces to prevent or delay biofilm formation is unclear. Hence, we monitored biofilm formation on control and nanostructured titanium disc surfaces over 21 days following inoculation with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. We found a consistent 2-log or higher reduction in live bacteria throughout the time course for both bacteria. The biovolume on nanostructured discs was also significantly lower than control discs at all time points for both bacteria. Analysis of the biovolume revealed that for the nanostructured surface, bacteria was killed not just on the surface, but at locations above the surface. Interestingly, pockets of bacterial regrowth on top of the biomass occurred in both bacterial species, however this was more pronounced for S. aureus cultures after 21 days. We found that the nanostructured surface showed antibacterial properties throughout this longitudinal study. To our knowledge this is the first in vitro study to show reduction in the viability of bacterial colonisation on a nanostructured surface over a clinically relevant time frame, providing potential to reduce the likelihood of implant associated infections.

Abstract
In modern days, the usage of trauma fixation devices has significantly increased due to sports injury, age-related issues, accidents, and revision surgery purposes. Numerous materials such as stainless steel, titanium, Co-Cr alloy, polymers, and ceramics have been used to replace the missing or defective parts of the human body. After implantation, body fluids (Na+, K+, and Cl-), protein, and blood cells interact with the surface of metallic implants, which favours the release of ions from the metallic surface to surrounding body tissues, leading to a hypersensitive reaction. Body pH, temperature, and interaction of immune cells also cause metal ion leaching and lose host cell interaction and effective mineralization for better durability. Moreover, microbial invasion is another important crisis, which produces extracellular compounds onto the biomaterial surface through which it escapes from the antimicrobial agents. To enhance the performance of materials by improving mechanical, corrosion resistance, antimicrobial, and biocompatibility properties, surface modification is a prerequisite method in which chemical vapour deposition (CVD), physical vapour deposition (PVD), sol-gel method, and electrochemical deposition are generally involved. The properties of bioceramics such as chemical inertness, bioactivity, biocompatibility, and corrosion protection make them most suitable for the surface functionalization of metallic implants. To the best of our knowledge, very limited literature is available to discuss the interaction of body proteins, pH, and temperature onto bioceramic coatings. Hence, the present review focuses on the corrosion behaviour of different ceramic composite coating materials with different conditions. This review initially briefs the properties and surface chemistry of metal implants and the need for surface modifications by different deposition techniques. Further, mechanical, cytotoxicity, antimicrobial property, and electrochemical behaviour of ceramics and metal nitride coatings are discussed. Finally, future perspectives of coatings are outlined for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Escalating medical expenses due to infectious diseases are causing huge socioeconomic pressure on mankind globally. The emergence of antibiotic resistance has further aggravated this problem. Drug-resistant pathogens are also capable of forming thick biofilms on biotic and abiotic surfaces to thrive in a harsh environment. To address these clinical problems, various strategies including antibacterial agent delivering matrices and bactericidal coatings strategies have been developed. In this review, we have discussed various types of polymeric vehicles such as hydrogels, sponges/cryogels, microgels, nanogels, and meshes, which are commonly used to deliver antibiotics, metal nanoparticles, and biocides. Compositions of these polymeric matrices have been elaborately depicted by elucidating their chemical interactions and potential activity have been discussed. On the other hand, various implant/device-surface coating strategies which exploit the release-active mechanism of bacterial killing are discussed in elaboration. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Cardiovascular Disease Implantable Materials and Surgical Technologies > Nanomaterials and Implants Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Infectious Disease.

Abstract
Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is a powerful technique to assemble metals, polymer, ceramics, and composite materials into 2D, 3D, and intricately shaped implants. Polymers, proteins, and peptides can be deposited via EPD at room temperature without affecting their chemical structures. Furthermore, EPD is being used to deposit multifunctional coatings (i.e., bioactive, antibacterial, and biocompatible coatings). Recently, EPD was used to architect multi-structured coatings to improve mechanical and biological properties along with the controlled release of drugs/metallic ions. The key characteristics of EPD coatings in terms of inorganic bioactivity and their angiogenic potential coupled with antibacterial properties are the key elements enabling advanced applications of EPD in orthopedic applications. In the emerging field of EPD coatings for hard tissue and soft tissue engineering, an overview of such applications will be presented. The progress in the development of EPD-based polymeric or composite coatings, including their application in orthopedic and targeted drug delivery approaches, will be discussed, with a focus on the effect of different biologically active ions/drugs released from EPD deposits. The literature under discussion involves EPD coatings consisting of chitosan (Chi), zein, polyetheretherketone (PEEK), and their composites. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo investigations of EPD coatings will be discussed in relation to the current main challenge of orthopedic implants, namely that the biomaterial must provide good bone-binding ability and mechanical compatibility.

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
Due to increasing bacterial resistance to antibiotics, surface coatings of medical devices with antimicrobial agents have come to the fore. These surface coatings on medical devices were basically thin coatings that delaminated from the medical devices due to the fluid environment and the biomechanical activities associated with in-service implants. The conventional methods of manufacturing have been used to alloy metal-based antimicrobial (MBA) agents such as Cu with Ti6Al4V to enhance its antibacterial properties but failed to produce intricate shapes. Additive manufacturing technology, such as laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), could be used to produce the Ti6Al4V–xCu alloy with intricate shapes to enhance osseointegration, but have not been successful for texturing the surfaces of the Ti6Al4V–xCu samples at the nanoscale.

Abstract
Bacterial infections of medical devices present severe problems connected with long-term antibiotic treatment, implant failure, and high hospital costs. Therefore, there are enormous demands for innovative techniques which would improve the surface properties of implantable materials. Plasma technologies present one of the compelling ways to improve metal's antibacterial activity; plasma treatment can significantly alter metal surfaces' physicochemical properties, such as surface chemistry, roughness, wettability, surface charge, and crystallinity, which all play an important role in the biological response of medical materials. Herein, the most common plasma treatment techniques like plasma spraying, plasma immersion ion implantation, plasma vapor deposition, and plasma electrolytic oxidation as well as novel approaches based on gaseous plasma treatment of surfaces are gathered and presented. The latest results of different surface modification approaches and their influence on metals' antibacterial surface properties are presented and critically discussed. The mechanisms involved in bactericidal effects of plasma-treated surfaces are discussed and novel results of surface modification of metal materials by highly reactive oxygen plasma are presented.
