Abstract
Nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA) is the main inorganic component of natural bone, which has been widely used as a reinforcing filler for polymers in bone materials, and it can promote cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. It can also produce interactions between cells and material surfaces through selective protein adsorption and has therefore always been a research hotspot in orthopedic materials. However, n-HA nano-particles are inherently easy to agglomerate and difficult to disperse evenly in the polymer. In addition, there are differences in trace elements between n-HA nano-particles and biological apatite, so the biological activity needs to be improved, and the slow degradation in vivo, which has seriously hindered the application of n-HA in bone fields, is unacceptable. Therefore, the modification of n-HA has been extensively reported in the literature. This article reviewed the physical modification and various chemical modification methods of n-HA in recent years, as well as their modification effects. In particular, various chemical modification methods and their modification effects were reviewed in detail. Finally, a summary and suggestions for the modification of n-HA were proposed, which would provide significant reference for achieving high-performance n-HA in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Graft-host integration after the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction sequentially follows the prognosis from the inflammation period to the regeneration period. However, due to insufficient bioactivity, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) artificial ligaments often require a long period for graft-host integration. To improve graft-host integration, sequential therapy targeting multifactor is widely advocated. In this study, a multilayer regenerated silk fibroin (RSF) coating loaded with heparin and bone morphogenetic protein binding peptide (BBP) for differentiated release was introduced on the surface of the PET artificial ligament by a stepwise deposition method. The drug release profiles of heparin and BBP on the coated PET artificial ligament indicated the features of differential drug release, i.e., with heparin in the outermost layer releasing a significant amount (more than 60%) during the first 5 days while BBP in the inner layer only releasing a small amount (ca. 30%) within 1 week without burst release. Based on the isometric ACL reconstruction model of rabbits, such drug-loaded RSF coating was verified to be able to modulate the early inflammatory response and promote the maturation of the graft in the articular cavity, meanwhile, it provided a continuous and stable signal of osteogenic induction to improve graft-bone integration. Thus, sequential intervention with heparin and BBP proved to be a reliable combination, and multifunctional RSF-coated PET artificial ligaments hold great potential for improving the clinical efficacy of ACL reconstruction.

Abstract
It is a great challenge to obtain an ideal guided bone regeneration (GBR) membrane. In this study, tragacanth gum (GT) was introduced into a chitosan/nano-hydroxyapatite (CS/n-HA) system. The effects of different component ratios and strontium-doped nano-hydroxyapatite (Sr-HA) on the physical-chemical properties and degradation behavior of the CS/Sr-n-HA/GT ternary composite membrane were investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle, electromechanical universal tester and in vitro soaking in simulated body fluid (SBF). The results showed that CS could be ionically crosslinked with GT through electrostatic interaction, and Sr-n-HA was loaded via hydrogen bond, which endowed the GT/CS/n-HA composite membrane with good tensile strength and hydrophilicity. In addition, the results of immersion in SBF in vitro showed that CS/n-HA/GT composite membranes had different degradation rates and good apatite deposition by investigating the changes in pH value, weight loss, water absorption ratio, SEM morphology observation and tensile strength reduction. All results revealed that the CS/Sr-n-HA/GT (6:2:2) ternary composite membrane possessed the strongest ionic crosslinking of GT and CS, which was expected to obtain more satisfactory GBR membranes, and this study will provide new applications of GT in the field of biomedical membranes.

Abstract
The quest for a good and durable substitute to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is driving scientists to explore new promising areas of research. Autologous and allogenic ligament reconstruction bring satisfactory results in managing ACL surgery although their use is associated with significant drawbacks. To overcome the limitations of biologic grafts, many artificial devices have been developed and implanted as a substitute to the native ACL over the past decades. Although many synthetic grafts used in the past have been withdrawn from the market due to early mechanical failures ultimately leading to synovitis and osteoarthritis, there is recently a resurgence of interest in the use of synthetic ligaments for ACL reconstruction. However, this new generation of artificial ligaments, despite promising initial results, have shown to produce serious side effects such as high rupture rates, insufficient tendon-bone healing and loosening. For these reasons, recent advancements in biomedical engineering are focusing on improving technical features of artificial ligaments combining mechanical properties to biocompatibility. Bioactive coatings and surface modification methods have been proposed to enhance synthetic ligament biocompatibility and promote osseointegration. The path to the development of a safe and effective artificial ligament is still full of challenges, however recent advancements are leading the way towards a tissue-engineered substitute to the native ACL.

Influence of the Components and Orientation of Hydroxyapatite Fibrous Substrates on Osteoblast Behavior. J Funct Biomater 2022; 13:jfb13040168. [PMID: 36278637 PMCID: PMC9590022 DOI: 10.3390/jfb13040168] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2022] [Revised: 09/19/2022] [Accepted: 09/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Synthetic hydroxyapatite has good biocompatibility, bioactivity and osteoconductive ability because its chemical properties and biological properties are similar to those of bioapatite in bone tissue. Strontium-substituted hydroxyapatite has better degradability than hydroxyapatite and can both promote osteogenesis and inhibit adipogenesis in mesenchymal stem cells. Hence, hydroxyapatite and strontium-substituted hydroxyapatite are widely used as bone graft materials, cell carriers and drug/gene delivery carriers. In addition, osteoblasts cultured on aligned nanofibrous substrates had higher expression of osteogenesis-related genes than did those cultured on random nanofibrous substrates. However, to date, no study has explored the effects of the components and orientation of hydroxyapatite nanofibrous substrates on osteoblastic behavior. In this study, a random hydroxyapatite nanofibrous substrate (R-HANF), a random strontium-substituted hydroxyapatite nanofibrous substrate (R-SrHANF), an aligned hydroxyapatite nanofibrous substrate (A-HANF) and an aligned strontium-substituted hydroxyapatite nanofibrous substrate (A-SrHANF) were successfully fabricated by using the electrospinning technique. The effect of fiber composition on osteoblast-like MG63 cells was assessed by evaluating cell morphology, cell proliferation and osteogenesis-related gene expression. The results showed that MG63 cells cultured on A-SrHANF had higher osteogenesis-related gene expression than those cultured on A-HANF. Additionally, MG63 cells were cultured on R-SrHANF and A-SrHANF to evaluate the effects of fiber orientation on cell behavior. On A-SrHANF, the cells aligned along the direction of the nanofibers, with typical bipolar morphologies, and exhibited higher osteogenesis-related gene expression than cells on R-SrHANF. Hence, the components and orientation of hydroxyapatite nanofibrous substrates are critical parameters affecting the osteogenesis process.

Abstract
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) replacement is still a big challenge in orthopedics due to the need to develop bioinspired implants that can mimic the complexity of bone-ligament interface. In this study, we propose biomimetic composite tubular grafts (CTGs) made of horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-cross-linked silk fibroin (SF) hydrogels containing ZnSr-doped β-tricalcium phosphate (ZnSr-β-TCP) particles, as promising bone tunnel fillers to be used in ACL grafts (ACLGs) implantation. For comparative purposes, plain HRP-cross-linked SF hydrogels (PTGs) were fabricated. Sonication and freeze-drying methodologies capable of inducing crystalline β-sheet conformation were carried out to produce both the CTGs and PTGs. A homogeneous microstructure was achieved from microporous to nanoporous scales. The mechanical properties were dependent on the inorganic powder’s incorporation, with a superior tensile modulus observed on the CTGs (12.05 ± 1.03 MPa) as compared to the PTGs (5.30 ± 0.93 MPa). The CTGs presented adequate swelling properties to fill the space in the bone structure after bone tunnel enlargement and provide a stable degradation profile under low concentration of protease XIV. The in vitro studies revealed that SaOs-2 cells adhered, proliferated and remained viable when cultured into the CTGs. In addition, the bioactive CTGs supported the osteogenic activity of cells in terms of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) production, activity, and relative gene expression of osteogenic-related markers. Therefore, this study is the first evidence that the developed CTGs hold adequate structural, chemical, and biological properties to be used as bone tunnel fillers capable of connecting to the ACL tissue while stimulating bone tissue regeneration for a faster osteointegration.

Abstract
With the aging population worldwide, osteoporosis, as an age-related bone metabolic disease, is becoming a hot issue in public health. However, it is still a great challenge to realize osteoporotic bone healing due to the alteration of the bone microenvironment in osteoporosis patients. In this study, a nano-structured akermanite (nAK) coating was in situ constructed on Ti-6Al-4V implants to improve osteoporotic bone repair. In vitro studies indicated that both the surface nano-topography and bioactive ions released from the nAK coatings promoted the proliferation, osteogenesis, angiogenesis and inhibited osteoclastogenesis of ovariectomy rabbit-derived bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (OVX-rBMSCs). Furthermore, the nAK-coated Ti-6Al-4V implants improved new bone formation and osseointegration in an osteoporosis rabbit model in vivo. These results indicated that the AK coating with a nano-structured surface on the Ti-6Al-4V implant could synergistically promote bone formation and osseointegration for osteoporosis patients. This may be a promising strategy to improve the bone regeneration and osseointegration capability of orthopedic implants under osteoporosis conditions.

Abstract
Autogenous healing of osteoporotic fractures is challenging, as the regenerative capacity of bone tissues is impaired by estrogen reduction and existed pro-inflammatory cytokines. In this study, a biofunctional ginsenoside Rg1 and strontium-containing mineral (SrHPO4, SrP)-incorporated biodegradable silk fibroin-gelatin (SG) scaffold (Rg1/SrP/SG) was developed to stimulate the osteoporotic bone repair. The incorporation of 15 wt% SrP significantly enhanced the mechanical strength, stimulated the osteogenic differentiation of mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, and suppressed the osteoclastogenesis of RAW264.7 in a concentration-related manner. The loading of Rg1 in SG and 15SrP/SG scaffolds obviously promoted the angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells via activating the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor genes and proteins. The bioactive strontium ions (Sr2+) and Rg1 released from the scaffolds together mediated lipopolysaccharide-treated macrophages polarizing into M2 type. They downregulated the expression of inflammatory-related genes (interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor α, and IL-6) and stimulated the expression of genes related to anti-inflammation (Arginase and IL-10) as well as bone repair (BMP-2 and PDGF-BB) in the macrophages. The in vivo results also displayed that SrP and Rg1 significantly promoted the bone repair effect of SG scaffolds in osteoporotic critical-sized calvarial defects. Besides, the degradation rate of the scaffolds was close to the bone regeneration rate. Therefore, the simultaneous addition of SrP and Rg1 is a promising way for facilitating the osteoporotic bone repair activity of SG scaffolds via promoting the osteogenesis and angiogenesis, as well as inhibiting the osteoclastogenesis and inflammation.
