Abstract
Nanodrugs, which utilise nanomaterials in disease prevention and therapy, have attracted considerable interest since their initial conceptualisation in the 1990s. Substantial efforts have been made to develop nanodrugs for overcoming the limitations of conventional drugs, such as low targeting efficacy, high dosage and toxicity, and potential drug resistance. Despite the significant progress that has been made in nanodrug discovery, the precise design or screening of nanomaterials with desired biomedical functions prior to experimentation remains a significant challenge. This is particularly the case with regard to personalised precision nanodrugs, which require the simultaneous optimisation of the structures, compositions, and surface functionalities of nanodrugs. The development of powerful computer clusters and algorithms has made it possible to overcome this challenge through in silico methods, which provide a comprehensive understanding of the medical functions of nanodrugs in relation to their physicochemical properties. In addition, machine learning techniques have been widely employed in nanodrug research, significantly accelerating the understanding of bio-nano interactions and the development of nanodrugs. This review will present a summary of the computational advances in nanodrug discovery, focusing on the understanding of how the key interfacial interactions, namely, surface adsorption, supramolecular recognition, surface catalysis, and chemical conversion, affect the therapeutic efficacy of nanodrugs. Furthermore, this review will discuss the challenges and opportunities in computer-aided nanodrug discovery, with particular emphasis on the integrated "computation + machine learning + experimentation" strategy that can potentially accelerate the discovery of precision nanodrugs.

Abstract
Poly (ether-ether-ketone) (PEEK) displays promising potential application in bone tissue repair and orthopedic surgery due to its good biocompatibility and chemical stability. However, the bio-inertness and poor mechanical strength of PEEK greatly limit its application in load-bearing bones. In this study, calcium silicate whiskers (CSws) are synthesized and then compounded with PEEK to fabricate the PEEK/CSw composites with excellent mechanical properties, biological activity. Compared with PEEK, the PEEK/CSw composites exhibited higher hydrophilicity and ability to deposit hydroxyapatite on the surface. CSws are evenly dispersed in the PEEK matrix at 10 wt% content and the mechanical strength of the PEEK/CSw composite is ≈96.9 ± 2.4 MPa, 136.3 ± 2.4 MPa, and 266.0 ± 3.2 MPa, corresponding to tensile strength, compressive strength, and bending strength, respectively, which is 20%, 18%, and 52% higher than that of pure PEEK. The composites improve the adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Furthermore, PEEK/CSw composite remarkably improves bone formation and osteointegration, which has higher bone repair capacity than PEEK. These results demonstrate that the PEEK/CSw scaffolds display superior abilities to integrate with the host bone and promising potential in the field of load bearing bone repair.

Abstract
Implant materials are mainly used to repair and replace defects in human hard tissue (bones and teeth). Titanium (Ti) and Ti alloys are widely used as implant materials because of their good mechanical properties and biocompatibilities, but they do not have the ability to induce new bone formation and have no antibacterial properties. Through surface modification, Ti and its alloys have certain osteogenic and antibacterial properties such that Ti implants can meet clinical needs and ensure integration between Ti implants and bone tissue, and this is currently an active research area. In this study, bioactive Si and Ag were introduced onto a Ti surface by plasma oxidation. The surface morphology, structure, elemental composition and valence, surface roughness, hydrophilicity and other physical and chemical properties of the coating were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), a profiler and a contact angle meter (CA). Adhesion and extensions of osteoblasts on the surface of the material were observed by scanning electron microscopy, and mineralization of osteoblasts on the surface of the material were observed by alizarin red staining. The antibacterial properties of the material were tested by culturing Staphylococcus aureus on the surface of the material. The osteogenic properties of Ti implants with porous Si/Ag TiO2 (TCP-SA) coatings were evaluated with in vivo experiments in rats. The results showed that Si and Ag were successfully introduced onto the Ti surface by plasma oxidation, and doping with Si and Ag did not change the surface morphology of the coating. The osteoblasts showed good adhesion and extension on the surfaces of Si/Ag coated samples, and the porous Si/Ag TiO2 coating promoted cell proliferation and mineralization. The bacterial experiments showed that the porous TiO2 coatings containing Si/Ag had certain antibacterial properties. The animal experiments showed that Si/Ag-coated Ti implants promoted integration between the implants and the surrounding bone. It was concluded that the porous Si/Ag TiO2 coating on the Ti surface had good osteogenic and antibacterial properties and provides an optimal strategy for improving the osteogenic and antibacterial properties of Ti implants.

Abstract
Titanium (Ti) implants have been widely used for the treatment of tooth loss due to their excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties. However, modifying the biological properties of these implants to increase osteointegration remains a research challenge. Additionally, the continuous release of various metal ions in the oral microenvironment due to fluid corrosion can also lead to implant failure. Therefore, simultaneously improving the bioactivity and corrosion resistance of Ti-based materials is an urgent need. In recent decades, micro-arc oxidation (MAO) has been proposed as a surface modification technology to form a surface protective oxide layer and improve the comprehensive properties of Ti. The present study doped nano silicon nitride (Si3N4) particles into the Ti surface by MAO treatment to improve its corrosion resistance and provide excellent osteoinduction by enhancing alkaline phosphatase activity and osteogenic-related gene expression. In addition, due to the presence of silicon, the Si3N4-doped materials showed excellent angiogenesis properties, including the promotion of cell migration and tubule formation, which play essential roles in early recovery after implantation.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex biological process that involves tissue regeneration. Traditional wound dressings are dry, cannot provide a moist environment for wound healing, and do not have high antibacterial properties. Hydrogels, which are capable of retaining large amounts of water, can create a moist healing environment. Currently, phototherapies have exhibited a high potential for the treatment of bacterial infections. Therefore, combining hydrogels with phototherapy can adequately overcome the shortcomings of traditional wound treatment methods and show great potential for wound healing owing to their high efficiency, low irritation, and good antibacterial performance. In this review, the application of hydrogels combined with phototherapy in wound healing is summarized. First, the basic principles of photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy are briefly introduced. In addition, the progress of the application of hydrogel combined with phototherapy in wound healing is systematically investigated. Finally, the challenges and prospects of combining hydrogel with phototherapy in wound healing are discussed.

Abstract
Treating critical-size segmental bone defects is an arduous challenge in clinical work. Preparation of bone graft substitutes with notable osteoinductive properties is a feasible strategy for critical-size bone defects. Herein, a biocompatible hydrogel was designed by dynamic supramolecular assembly of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), sodium tetraborate (Na2B4O7), and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). The characteristics of the supramolecular hydrogel were evaluated by rheological analysis, swelling ratio, degradation experiments, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In in vitro experiments, this TEOS-hydrogel had self-healing property, low swelling rate, degradability, good biocompatibility, and induced osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) by upregulating the expression of Runx-2, Col-1, OCN, and osteopontin (OPN). In segmental bone defect rabbit models, the TEOS-containing hydrogel accelerated bone regeneration, thus restoring the continuity of bone and recanalization of the medullary cavity. The abovementioned results demonstrated that this TEOS-hydrogel has the potential to realize bone healing in critical-size segmental bone defects.

Abstract
Orthopedic implant coatings with optimal surface features to achieve favorable osteo/angio-genesis and inflammatory response would be of great importance. However, to date, few coatings are capable of fully satisfying these requirements. In this work, to take advantage of the structural complexity of micro/nano-topography and benefits of biological trace elements, two types of boron-containing nanostructures (nanoflakes and nanolamellars) were introduced onto plasma-sprayed calcium silicate (F-BCS and L-BCS) coatings via hydrothermal treatment. The C-CS coating using deionized water as hydrothermal medium served as control. Boron-incorporated CS coating stimulated osteoblastic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Specifically, the combination of β1 integrin-vinculin-mediated cell spreading and activation of bone morphogenetic protein signaling pathway acted synergistically to cause significant upregulation of runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) protein and Runx2 gene expression in BMSCs on the F-BCS coating surface, which induced the transcription of downstream osteogenic differentiation marker genes. F-BCS coating allowed specific boron ion release, which favored angiogenesis as evidenced by the enhanced migration and tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells in the coating extract. Boron-incorporated coatings significantly suppressed the expression of toll-like receptor adaptor genes in RAW264.7 macrophages and subsequently the degradation of nuclear factor-κB inhibitor α, accompanied by the inactivation of the downstream pro-inflammatory genes. In vivo experiments confirmed that F-BCS-coated Ti implant possessed enhanced osseointegration compared with L-BCS- and C-CS-coated implants. These data highlighted the synergistic effect of specific nanotopography and boron release from orthopedic implant coating on improvement of osseointegration.

Abstract
Aseptic loosening of a permanent prosthesis remains one of the most common reasons for bone implant failure. To improve the fixation between implant and bone tissue as well as enhance blood vessel formation, bioactive agents are incorporated into the surface of the biomaterial. This study reviews and compares five bioactive elements (copper, magnesium, silicon, strontium, and zinc) with respect to their effect on the angiogenic behavior of endothelial cells (ECs) when incorporated on the surface of biomaterials. Moreover, it provides an overview of the state-of-the-art methodologies used for the in vitro assessment of the angiogenic properties of these elements. Two databases are searched using keywords containing ECs and copper, magnesium, silicon, strontium, and zinc. After applying the defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 59 articles are retained for the final assessment. An overview of the angiogenic properties of five bioactive elements and the methods used for assessment of their in vitro angiogenic potential is presented. The findings show that silicon and strontium can effectively enhance osseointegration through the simultaneous promotion of both angiogenesis and osteogenesis. Therefore, their integration onto the surface of biomaterials can ultimately decrease the incidence of implant failure due to aseptic loosening.

Abstract
Bone fracture is prevalent among athletes and senior citizens and may require surgical insertion of bone implants. Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are widely used in orthopedics due to its high corrosion resistance, good biocompatibility, and modulus compatible with natural bone tissues. However, bone repair and regrowth are impeded by the insufficient intrinsic osteogenetic capability of Ti and Ti alloys and potential bacterial infection. The physicochemical properties of the materials and nano/microstructures on the implant surface are crucial for clinical success and loading with biofunctional elements such as Sr, Zn, Cu, Si, and Ag into nano/microstructured TiO2 coating has been demonstrated to enhance bone repair/regeneration and bacterial resistance of Ti implants. In this review, recent advances in biofunctional element-incorporated nano/microstructured coatings on Ti and Ti alloy implants are described and the prospects and limitations are discussed.

Construction of tantalum/poly(ether imide) coatings on magnesium implants with both corrosion protection and osseointegration properties. Bioact Mater 2020; 6:1189-1200. [PMID: 33163700 PMCID: PMC7595939 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2020.10.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2020] [Revised: 10/12/2020] [Accepted: 10/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Poly(ether imide) (PEI) has shown satisfactory corrosion protection capability with good adhesion strength as a coating for magnesium (Mg), a potential candidate of biodegradable orthopedic implant material. However, its innate hydrophobic property causes insufficient osteoblast affinity and a lack of osseointegration. Herein, we modify the physical and chemical properties of a PEI-coated Mg implant. A plasma immersion ion implantation technique is combined with direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering to introduce biologically compatible tantalum (Ta) onto the surface of the PEI coating. The PEI-coating layer is not damaged during this process owing to the extremely short processing time (30 s), retaining its high corrosion protection property and adhesion stability. The Ta-implanted layer (roughly 10-nm-thick) on the topmost PEI surface generates long-term surface hydrophilicity and favorable surface conditions for pre-osteoblasts to adhere, proliferate, and differentiate. Furthermore, in a rabbit femur study, the Ta/PEI-coated Mg implant demonstrates significantly enhanced bone tissue affinity and osseointegration capability. These results indicate that Ta/PEI-coated Mg is promising for achieving early mechanical fixation and long-term success in biodegradable orthopedic implant applications. PEI coating with subsequent Ta ion implantation was prepared on WE43 Mg alloy implant. The corrosion resistance of Mg alloy implant was improved by Ta embedded PEI coating. The wettability of PEI coating layer was enhanced by embedded Ta on its top-surface. Ta embedded PEI coating significantly improved in vitro and in vivo responses. Ta embedded PEI-coated Mg is highly suitable as a biodegradable orthopedic implant material.

Abstract
Alveolar bone defects, which are characterized by a relatively narrow space and location adjacent to the cementum, require promising substitute biomaterials for their regeneration. In this study, we introduced novel yolk-shell biphasic bio-ceramic granules with/without a customized porous shell and evaluated their biological effect together with structural transformation. Firstly, a self-made coaxial bilayer capillary system was applied for the fabrication of granules. Secondly, thorough morphological and physicochemical characterizations were performed in vitro. Subsequently, the granules were implanted into critical-size alveolar bone defects (10 × 4 × 3 mm) in New Zealand white rabbits, with Bio-Oss® as the positive control. Finally, at 2, 4, 8, and 16 weeks postoperatively, the alveolar bone specimens were harvested and assessed via radiological and histological examination. Our results showed that the yolk-shell biphasic bio-ceramic granules, especially those with porous shells, exhibited a tunable ion release performance, improved biodegradation behavior and satisfactory osteogenesis compared with the homogeneously hybrid and Bio-Oss® granules both in vitro and in vivo. This study provides the first evidence that novel yolk-shell bio-ceramic granules, on account of their adjustable porous microstructure, have great potential in alveolar bone repair.

Abstract
Biomaterial with the dual-functions of bone regeneration and antibacterial is a novel therapy for infective bone defects. Three-dimensional (3D)-printed porous titanium (pTi) benefits bone ingrowth, but its microporous structure conducive to bacteria reproduction. Herein, a multifunctional hydrogel was prepared from dynamic supramolecular assembly of sodium tetraborate (Na2B4O7), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), and composited with pTi as an implant system. The pTi scaffolds have ideal pore size and porosity matching with bone, while the supramolecular hydrogel endows pTi scaffolds with antibacterial and biological activity. In vitro assessments indicated the 3D composite implant was biocompatible, promoted bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) proliferation and osteogenic differentiation, and inhibited bacteria, simultaneously. In vivo experiments further demonstrated that the implant showed effective antibacterial ability while promoting bone regeneration. Besides distal femur defect, the innovative scaffolds may also serve as an ideal biomaterial (e.g. dental implants) for other contaminated defects.
