Abstract
This study fabricates a functionalized scaffold by cryogenic three-dimensional (3D) printing using an aminated poly-L-lactic acid (EPLA) solution containing nanosilver/zinc-coated black phosphorus (BP@(Zn+Ag)) nanocomposites. The nanocomposites are prepared by a green method of in situ photodeposition of silver and zinc nanoparticles (AgNPs and ZnNPs) on BP nanosheets (BPNs) under visible light irradiation without any chemical reductant. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) confirm the uniform distribution of BP@(Zn+Ag) nanoparticles in the EPLA nanofibrous matrix. The in vitro tests show that the fabricated BP@(Zn+Ag)/EPLA nanofibrous scaffold exhibits excellent antibacterial activity (over 96%) against E. coli and S. aureus, as well as enhanced cell viability and osteogenic activity to facilitate the growth and differentiation of osteoblasts. The in vivo rat calvarial defect model also demonstrates that the BP@(Zn+Ag)/EPLA nanofibrous scaffold promotes new bone tissue formation around the implant site. Therefore, the prepared multifunctional 3D printed BP@(Zn+Ag)/EPLA nanofibrous scaffold has great potential for bone tissue engineering (BTE) applications.

Abstract
Repair and reconstruction of the myopectineal orifice area using meshes is the mainstay of surgical treatment of inguinal hernias. However, the limitations of existing meshes are becoming increasingly evident in clinical applications; thus, the idea of using three-dimensionally (3D)-printed biological meshes was put forward. According to the current level of the 3D printing technology and the inherent characteristics of biological materials, the direct use of the 3D printing technology for making biological materials into finished products suitable for clinical applications is not yet supported, but synthetic materials can be first printed into 3D form carriers, compounded with biological materials, and finally made into finished products. The purpose of this study was to develop a technical protocol for making 3D-printed biomesh carriers using polyurethane as a raw material. In our study: raw material, polyurethane; weight, 20-30 g/m2; weaving method, hexagonal mesh; elastic tension aspect ratio, 2:1; diameters of pores, 0.1-1 mm; surface area, 8 × 12 cm2; the optimal printing layer height, temperature and velocity were 0.1 mm, 210-220 °C and 60 mm/s. Its clinical significance lies in: (1) applied to preoperative planning and design a detailed surgical plan; (2) applied to special types of surgery including patients in puberty, recurrent and compound inguinal hernias; (3) significantly improve the efficiency of doctor-patient communication; (4) it can shorten the operation and recovery period by about 1/3 and can save about 1/4 of the cost for patients; (5) the learning curve is significantly shortened, which is conducive to the cultivation of reserve talents.

Abstract
The analysis of degradation in the presence of cell death and migration is a critical aspect of research in various biological fields, such as tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and disease pathology. In present study, numerical study of degradation of scaffold were performed in present of cells, cell apoptosis and cell migration. A poly electrolyte complex (PEC) silk fibroin scaffold was used for degradation study. Degradation study in the presence of cells and migration were performed at fixed pH concentration 7.2. Similarly, degradation study of scaffold were performed at different pH cell apoptosis. A transient analysis of scaffold was evaluated in COMSOL 5.5 in presence of cryogenic temperature at different temperature gradient. The parameters; temperature, stress, strain tensor and deformation gradient associated with the degradation of polyelectrolyte complex scaffold were evaluated. Result shows that in both geometries minimum temperature had been achieved as 230.051 K at point P4 in series view and parallel view and at a point P3 for cell migration study for -5 k min-1and -1 k min-1, respectively. The maximum stress had been generated for 5.57 × 107N m-2for the temperature gradient of -2 K min-1at T cycle in the case of cell migration study. In contrast in series view the maximum stress 2.9 × 107 N m-2were observed at P4 which was higher as compare to P3. Similarly, for a parallel view, maximum stress (3.93 × 107 N m-2) was obtained for point P3. It had been observed that the maximum strain tensor 5.21 × 10-3, 5.15 × 10-3and 5.26 × 10-3was generated in series view at 230 k on a point P3 for - 1, -2 and -5 K min-1, respectively. Similarly, the maximum strain tensor 8.16 × 10-3, 8.09 × 10-3and 8.09 × 10-3was generated in parallel view at 230 k on a point P3 for -1, -2 and -5 K min-1, respectively. In the presence of cells, at a point P4 for temperature gradient of -1 and -2 K min-1, it had been closed to the scaffold wall, which had a different temperature profile than the point P3 and scaffold comes to the contact with the cells. The analysis of PEC scaffold degradation in the presence of cells, including cell apoptosis and migration, offers significant insights into the relationship between scaffold properties, cell behaviour, and tissue regeneration.

A personalized biomimetic dual-drug delivery system via controlled release of PTH 1-34 and simvastatin for in situ osteoporotic bone regeneration. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2024; 12:1355019.

Abstract
Patients with osteoporosis often encounter clinical challenges of poor healing after bone transplantation due to their diminished bone formation capacity. The use of bone substitutes containing bioactive factors that increase the number and differentiation of osteoblasts is a strategy to improve poor bone healing. In this study, we developed an in situ dual-drug delivery system containing the bone growth factors PTH1-34 and simvastatin to increase the number and differentiation of osteoblasts for osteoporotic bone regeneration. Our system exhibited ideal physical properties similar to those of natural bone and allowed for customizations in shape through a 3D-printed scaffold and GelMA. The composite system regulated the sustained release of PTH1-34 and simvastatin, and exhibited good biocompatibility. Cell studies revealed that the composite system reduced osteoblast death, and promoted expression of osteoblast differentiation markers. Additionally, by radiographic analysis and histological observation, the dual-drug composite system demonstrated promising bone regeneration outcomes in an osteoporotic skull defect model. In summary, this composite delivery system, comprising dual-drug administration, holds considerable potential for bone repair and may serve as a safe and efficacious therapeutic approach for addressing bone defects in patients with osteoporosis.

Facile Fabrication of Transparent and Opaque Albumin Methacryloyl Gels with Highly Improved Mechanical Properties and Controlled Pore Structures. Gels 2022; 8:gels8060367. [PMID: 35735711 PMCID: PMC9222780 DOI: 10.3390/gels8060367] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2022] [Revised: 05/24/2022] [Accepted: 05/31/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
For porous protein scaffolds to be employed in tissue-engineered structures, the development of cost-effective, macroporous, and mechanically improved protein-based hydrogels, without compromising the original properties of native protein, is crucial. Here, we introduced a facile method of albumin methacryloyl transparent hydrogels and opaque cryogels with adjustable porosity and improved mechanical characteristics via controlling polymerization temperatures (room temperature and −80 °C). The structural, morphological, mechanical, and physical characteristics of both porous albumin methacryloyl biomaterials were investigated using FTIR, CD, SEM, XRD, compression tests, TGA, and swelling behavior. The biodegradation and biocompatibility of the various gels were also carefully examined. Albumin methacryloyl opaque cryogels outperformed their counterpart transparent hydrogels in terms of mechanical characteristics and interconnecting macropores. Both materials demonstrated high mineralization potential as well as good cell compatibility. The solvation and phase separation owing to ice crystal formation during polymerization are attributed to the transparency of hydrogels and opacity of cryogels, respectively, suggesting that two fully protein-based hydrogels could be used as visible detectors/sensors in medical devices or bone regeneration scaffolds in the future.
