Abstract
The development of bioactive membranes with bone repair properties is great interest in the field of tissue engineering. In this study, we aimed to fabricate and characterize a composite membrane composed of sol-gel synthesized bioceramics and electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) fibers for bone tissue regeneration applications. The bioceramics were prepared using the sol-gel method with nitrate (N) and chloride (CL) as precursors. PCL and bioceramic solutions were electrospun to obtain ultrafine fiber mats. Raman spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the materials. The results showed that both chlorinated and non-chlorinated bioceramics contained NBOs (non-bridge bonds) and crystallized the α-wollastonite phase, with the chlorinated version doing so at lower temperatures. In vitro tests were performed to evaluate cytotoxicity, cell adhesion, and mineralized matrix formation on the membranes. The composite membranes showed improved cell viability and promoted mineralization nodules formation. This study presents a promising approach for the development of bioactive membranes for bone tissue engineering, with potential applications in bone regeneration therapies.

Abstract
Sol-gel borate bioactive glasses (BGs) are promising ion-releasing biomaterials for wound healing applications. Here, we report the synthesis of a series of binary B2O3-CaO borate BGs (CaO ranging from 50 to 90 mol%) using a sol-gel-based method. The influence of CaO content in B2O3-CaO borate BG on morphology, structure and ion release behavior was investigated in detail. Reduced dissolution (ion release) and crystallization could be observed in borate BGs when CaO content increased, while the morphology was not significantly altered by increasing CaO content. Our results evidenced that the ion release behavior of borate BGs could be tailored by tuning the B2O3/CaO molar ratio. We also evaluated the in vitro cytotoxicity, hemostatic, antibacterial and angiogenic activities of borate BGs. Cytocompatibility was validated for all borate BGs. However, borate BGs exhibited composition-dependent hemostatic, antibacterial and angiogenic activities. Generally, higher contents of Ca in borate BGs facilitated hemostatic activity, while higher contents of B2O3 were beneficial for pro-angiogenic activity. The synthesized sol-gel-derived borate BGs are promising materials for developing advanced wound healing dressings, given their fast ion release behavior and favorable hemostatic, antibacterial and angiogenic activities.

Abstract
The development of nanoscale biomaterials associated with polymers has been growing over the years, due to their important structural characteristics for applications in biological systems. The present study aimed to produce and test polymeric scaffolds composed of polylactic acid (PLA) fibers associated with a 58S bioglass doped with therapeutic ions for use in tissue engineering. Three 58S Bioglass was obtained by the sol-gel route, pure and doped with 5% strontium and cobalt ions. Solutions of 7% PLA was used as control and added the three different bioglass, 4% of 58S bioglass (PLA-BG), 4% bioglass-doped strontium (PLA-BGSr) and 4% bioglass-doped cobalt (PLA-BGCo). Scaffolds were produced through electrospinning process, and was characterized chemical and morphologically. The in vitro tests were performed using mesenchymal cells cultures from femurs of nine rats, grown in osteogenic supplemented total culture medium. After osteoblastic differentiation induction cell viability, alkaline phosphatase activity, total protein content quantification, and visualization of mineralization nodule tests were performed. Analysis of normal distribution used the Shapiro-Wilk test (nanofibers diameter and biological assay). Data were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric test (p = 0.05). The bioglasses produced proved to be free of nitrate, chlorinated and nano-sized, with effective incorporation of therapeutic ions in their structure. All materials showed cell viability (>70%), total protein production, and alkaline phosphatase activity. It was possible to develop polylactic acid scaffolds associated with 58S bioglass doped with therapeutic ions without cytotoxicity. Scaffolds characteristics appear to sustain its application in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The application of bone substitutes to reconstruct bone defects is a strategy for repairing alveolar bone loss caused by periodontal disease. Bioactive glasses (BGs) are attractive synthetic bone substitutes owing to their abilities to degrade, form bone-like mineral and stimulate bone regeneration. Our previous studies showed that the incorporation of fluoride into alkali-free bioactive silicate glass promoted osteogenesis to some extent in vitro, while the incorporation of chloride facilitated glass degradation and accelerated the formation of hydroxyapatite. However, whether there is a synergistic effect of incorporating fluoride and chloride on further enhancement of osteogenesis and angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo was not known. Therefore, we synthesized three halide-containing BGs with fluoride only, or chloride only, or mixed fluoride and chloride, investigated their physicochemical properties and osteogenic and angiogenic effects both in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that the addition of both fluoride and chloride in a bioactive silicate glass could combine the structural roles of both, leading to a faster apatite formation than the glass with the presence of fluoride only and a more stable fluorapatite formation than the glass with the presence of chloride only, which formed hydroxyapatite upon immersion. The studied BGs were cytocompatible, as suggested by the cytotoxicity evaluation of hPDLSCs cultivated in the extracted BGs-conditioned culture media. More importantly, these BGs stimulated osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs without adding growth factors as indicated by the fact that BGs-conditioned media up-regulated the expression of BMP-2, OPN and VEGF of hPDLSCs and promoted the formation of bone nodules and collagen in vitro. By comparison, the incorporation of fluoride facilitated the expression of osteogenic-related biomarkers and bone nodule formation preferentially, while the incorporation of chloride induced the expression of angiogenic-related biomarkers and collagen formation. The in vivo investigation results demonstrated that the developed halide-containing BGs accelerated the process of bone regeneration, while the glass with mixed fluoride and chloride showed the most significant promotion effect among the three BGs. Therefore, our findings revealed a synergistic effect of incorporating fluoride and chloride into a BG on osteogenesis and angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo and highlighted the potential of fluoride and chloride containing bioactive glasses being bone substitutes for clinical use.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the degradation, fluorapatite formation, biological safety and cutting efficiency on dentine of the mixed fluoride- and chloride-containing bioactive glasses (BGs). METHODS Two series of mixed fluoride- and chloride-containing glasses (GPFCl and GPF2.3Cl series) were synthesized using a melt-quench method. Glass transition temperature (Tg) and the bioactivity in term of glass degradation and fluorapatite formation were evaluated in Tris buffer solution. The cutting efficiency of the powdered BGs (GPF2.3Cl series) on dentine via air abrasion was investigated using white light profilometry and scanning electron microscope. The cytotoxicity of GPF2.3Cl series on human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPLSCs) and oral fibroblasts (OFB) were examined by MTT. RESULTS These BGs are highly degradable and able to form fluorapatite within 3h of immersion. The formation of CaF2 was also found in the high fluoride-containing BGs. The faster glass degradation was evidenced in the BGs with higher chloride. A significant reduction of Tg from 790°C to 463°C was seen with increasing in calcium halide content. Air abrasion on dentine using the low and intermediate chloride-containing glasses demonstrates clear depressions, while no depression was found using the high chloride-containing glass. Moreover, the studied BGs showed no cytotoxicity to hPLSCs and OFB. CONCLUSIONS The glasses with mixed fluoride and chloride integrate the benefits from the presence of both, showing rapid glass degradation, fast fluorapatite formation, excellent biocompatibility and controllable hardness to provide a selective cutting efficiency on dentine. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The developed BGs air abrasive with tunable hardness by varying chloride content can selectively cut different dental tissues. In clinic, a relatively hard BG is of great interest for caries preparation, while a soft glass is attractive for tooth cleaning.

Abstract
Secondary aluminum dross (SAD) is solid waste of primary aluminum dross extracted aluminum, which contains approximately 40-60 wt% alumina, 10-30 wt% aluminum nitride (AlN), 5-15 wt% salts and other components. The salts include sodium chloride, potassium chloride and fluorine salts. SAD has dual attributes as resource and pollutant. SAD landfill disposal has the disadvantages of occupying land, wasting resources, a high cost and great environmental impact. SAD utilization methods are currently pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy. In pyrometallurgy, AlN is oxidized and the salts are evaporated at high temperature. After mixing, molding and calcination, firebricks and ceramics can be manufactured from SAD. In hydrometallurgy, AlN is hydrolyzed and salts are dissolved in water. After dissolving, filtrating, precipitating, washing and calcination, γ-Al2O3 can be prepared from SAD. Resource consumption and emission from both utilization methods were assessed. A ton of magnesium aluminum titanate based ceramics by pyrometallurgy consumes 1043 kg raw materials and releases 69 kg of waste gas, 4.17 t of waste water and no solid waste. A ton of γ-Al2O3 by hydrometallurgy consumes 3389 kg raw materials and releases 111 kg of waste gas, 12.98 t of waste water and 267 kg of solid waste. Therefore, the resource consumption and emission of SAD utilization by pyrometallurgy is lower than that by hydrometallurgy. We should focus on reducing the emission of the three wastes from pyrometallurgy. We are sure that SAD can be utilized for glass ceramics by pyrometallurgy. AlN and salts can be transformed into alumina and glass phases at high temperature with no emission. We should clarify mechanisms for SAD composition adjustment to lower the glass ceramics' melting point, AlN and salts transformed into alumina and glass phases respectively, and nucleation and crystal growth of glass ceramics at high temperature.

Abstract
Adding fluoride into bioactive glasses leads to fluorapatite formation and a decrease in glass transition temperature. Recently, chloride has been introduced into glasses as an alternative to fluoride. The presence of the large chloride ion lowers glass crystallisation tendency and increases glass molar volume, which effectively facilitates glass degradation and bone-bonding apatite-like layer formation. However, there is no information regarding the effect of mixing fluoride and chloride on the glass structure and properties. This study aims to synthesize mixed fluoride and chloride containing bioactive glasses; investigate the structural role of fluoride and chloride and their effects on glass properties. The chloride content measurements reveal that 77–90% of chloride was retained in these Q2 type glasses. Glass transition temperature reduced markedly with an increase in CaX2 (X = F + Cl) content, while the glass molar volume increased. 29Si MAS-NMR results show that the incorporation of mixed fluoride and chloride did not cause significant change in the polymerization of the silicate network and no detectable concentration of Si-F/Cl bands were present. This agrees with 19F NMR spectra showing that F existed as F-Ca(n) species.

Abstract
The addition of chlorine into a bioactive glass composition is expected to reduce its abrasiveness and increase its bioactivity, which is important for dental applications such as toothpastes. There is a lack of information and understanding regarding the structural role of chlorine in chlorine-containing bioactive silicate glasses. This has prompted classical core-shell model molecular dynamics simulations of (50 - x/2)CaO-(50 - x/2)SiO2-xCaCl2 glasses to be performed, where x ranges from x = 0.0 to 43.1 mol % CaCl2. These ternary glasses are advantageous for a fundamental study because they do not have additional network formers (e.g., phosphorus pentoxide) or modifiers (e.g., sodium) typically found in bioactive glass compositions. The (50 - x/2)CaO-(50 - x/2)SiO2-xCaCl2 glasses were seen to become phase-separated around the x = 16.1 mol % CaCl2 composition, and chlorine predominantly coordinated with calcium. These findings provide a solid foundation for further computational modeling work on more complex chlorine-containing bioactive glass compositions.
