Abstract
Bone regeneration is a vital clinical challenge in massive or complicated bone defects. Recently, bone tissue engineering has come to the fore to meet the demand for bone repair with various innovative materials. However, the reported materials usually cannot satisfy the requirements, such as ideal mechanical and osteogenic properties, as well as biocompatibility at the same time. Mg-based biomaterials have considerable potential in bone tissue engineering owing to their excellent mechanical strength and biosafety. Moreover, the biocompatibility and osteogenic activity of Mg-based biomaterials have been the research focuses in recent years. The main limitation faced in the applications of Mg-based biomaterials is rapid degradation, which can produce excessive Mg2+ and hydrogen, affecting the healing of the bone defect. In order to overcome the limitations, researchers have explored several ways to improve the properties of Mg-based biomaterials, including alloying, surface modification with coatings, and synthesizing other composite materials to control the degradation rate upon implantation. This article reviewed the osteogenic mechanism and requirement for appropriate degradation rate and focused on current progress in the biomedical use of Mg-based biomaterials to inspire more clinical applications of Mg in bone regeneration in the future.

Abstract
The human body comprises various tubular structures that have essential functions in different bodily systems. These structures are responsible for transporting food, liquids, waste, and other substances throughout the body. However, factors such as inflammation, tumors, stones, infections, or the accumulation of substances can lead to the narrowing or blockage of these tubular structures, which can impair the normal function of the corresponding organs or tissues. To address luminal obstructions, stenting is a commonly used treatment. However, to minimize complications associated with the long-term implantation of permanent stents, there is an increasing demand for biodegradable stents (BDS). Magnesium (Mg) metal is an exceptional choice for creating BDS due to its degradability, good mechanical properties, and biocompatibility. Currently, the Magmaris® coronary stents and UNITY-BTM biliary stent have obtained Conformité Européene (CE) certification. Moreover, there are several other types of stents undergoing research and development as well as clinical trials. In this review, we discuss the required degradation cycle and the specific properties (anti-inflammatory effect, antibacterial effect, etc.) of BDS in different lumen areas based on the biocompatibility and degradability of currently available magnesium-based scaffolds. We also offer potential insights into the future development of BDS.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printed bioactive scaffolds have been widely used in the field of bone tissue engineering. However, its in vivo visualization and bacterial inflammation are intractable issues during the surgery and treatment. Herein, we first synthesized an aggregation-induced emission-active luminogen (AIEgen) named 4BC with efficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Then, a series of 3D bioactive scaffolds loaded with 4BC were fabricated by a precipitation adsorption method, namely 4BC@scaffolds, which showed good in situ imaging performance for the implanted scaffolds by using simple UV light irradiation. Among them, the 4BC@TMP scaffold composed of trimagnesium phosphate (TMP) had excellent bactericidal ability for Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in vitro and resisted bacterial inflammation in vivo through photodynamic action. H&E and immunofluorescence staining were performed to further evaluate the inhibitory effect of bacterial inflammation in vivo. This work verified that AIEgen-based 3D scaffolds are promising bioactive frameworks for bioimaging and antibacterial applications.

Endowing biodegradable Zinc implants with dual-function of antibacterial ability and osteogenic activity by micro-addition of Mg and Ag (≤ 0.1 wt.%). Acta Biomater 2023; 157:683-700. [PMID: 36521674 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.12.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2022] [Revised: 11/18/2022] [Accepted: 12/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Infection remains the devastating complications associated with surgical fixation of bones fractured during trauma. In this study, we report a low-alloyed Zn-Mg-Ag that simultaneously has optimized strength degeneration profiles during degradation, outstanding antibacterial efficacy and osteogenic activity. Our results showed that Zn-0.05Mg-0.1Ag alloy had favorable mechanical properties (UTS: 247.8 ± 1.6 MPa, Elong.: 35 ± 2.2 %) and presented a better hold of mechanical integrity than pure Zn during 28 days corrosion, 2.6 % vs. 18.7 % reduction. After one-year of natural aging, the alloy still preserved an elongation of 24.07 ± 3.84 %. As verified by microbial cultures, Zn-0.05Mg-0.1Ag alloy demonstrated high antibacterial performance against Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains, as well as antibiotic-resistant strains (MRSA) in vitro and in vivo due to the synergistic antibacterial actions of Zn2+ and Ag+. Meanwhile, Zn-Mg-Ag alloy also exhibited enhanced viability, osteogenic differentiation, and gene expressions of osteoblasts in vitro, as well as promoted osteogenic activity than pure Zn in the femoral condyle defect repair model. The co-releasing of Zn, Mg and Ag ions did not induce toxic side effects. Collectively, low alloyed Zn-0.05Mg-0.1Ag indicated long-lasting mechanical integrity during degradation, and presented the ability to synergistically inhibit bacteria and promote osteogenesis, possessing tremendous potential in treating implant-associated infections. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Infection after fracture fixation (IAFF) remains the most common and serious side effects of orthopedic surgery. Additionally, widespread antibiotic use contributes to the development of multi-drug resistant bacteria such as methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which exacerbates IAFF treatment and prevention. IAFF treatment and prevention remain clinically challenging, so implants with dual antibacterial and osteogenic functions are in high demand. The antibacterial efficacy and osteogenic activity of low-alloyed Zn-Mg-Ag (≤0.1 wt.% Mg, Ag) alloys were investigated in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that micro addition of Mg and Ag could significantly improve osseointegration function, mechanical properties, and antibacterial performance. These quantification findings shed new light on the development and understanding of dual functional Zn-based orthopedic implants.

Zinc-doped ferric oxyhydroxide nano-layer enhances the bactericidal activity and osseointegration of a magnesium alloy through augmenting the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps. Acta Biomater 2022; 152:575-592. [PMID: 36070834 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.08.066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2022] [Revised: 08/24/2022] [Accepted: 08/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Implant-associated infections (IAI) and osseointegration disorders are the most common complications in orthopedics. Studies have shown that neutrophils surrounding implants play a vital role in regulating these complications. Although magnesium (Mg) and its alloys are considered promising biodegradable bone implants, their role in neutrophil-mediated antibacteria has not yet been examined. Considering the rapid corrosion of Mg, it is necessary to develop methods to inhibit its corrosion. To solve these issues, a zinc-doped ferric oxyhydroxide nano-layer modified plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO)-coated Mg alloy (PEO-FeZn) was developed in this study, and its antibacterial, immune anti-infective, and osteogenic ability were systematically evaluated. The results showed that PEO-FeZn nano-layer enhanced the corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, bactericidal activity, and osteoblastic differentiation activity of the Mg alloy. Moreover, PEO-FeZn nano-layer inhibited immune evasion-related gene expression and contributed to the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) by activating the extracellular release of DNA fibers and granule proteins, and thereby suppressing bacterial invasion and promoting osseointegration in vivo in Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus)-infected rat femurs. Overall, the findings of this study could serve as a reference for the fabrication of highly biocompatible and corrosion resistant Mg alloys to address the challenges of IAI and osseointegration disorders. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The widely used metallic biomaterials usually come with the risk of IAI. As the first responder around the biomaterials, neutrophils could form NETs to defense against microorganism and promote tissue remodeling. Therefore, biomaterials addressing antibacterial and neutrophils-modulatory strategies are highly necessary in reducing IAI. To solve these issues, we grew PEO-FeZn nano-layers in situ on Mg alloy using a simple and green technique. The nano-layer not only enhanced the corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of Mg alloy, but also elevated the antibacterial and osteogenesis capability. Moreover, nano-layer contributed to NETs formation, thereby suppressing bacterial invasion and even promoting osseointegration in S.aureus-infected femurs. Accordingly, this functionalized multilayer coating with antibacterial immunity represents a novel therapeutic strategy for IAI and weak osseointegration.

Laubach M, Kobbe P, Hutmacher DW. Biodegradable interbody cages for lumbar spine fusion: Current concepts and future directions. Biomaterials 2022; 288:121699.

Abstract
Lumbar fusion often remains the last treatment option for various acute and chronic spinal conditions, including infectious and degenerative diseases. Placement of a cage in the intervertebral space has become a routine clinical treatment for spinal fusion surgery to provide sufficient biomechanical stability, which is required to achieve bony ingrowth of the implant. Routinely used cages for clinical application are made of titanium (Ti) or polyetheretherketone (PEEK). Ti has been used since the 1980s; however, its shortcomings, such as impaired radiographical opacity and higher elastic modulus compared to bone, have led to the development of PEEK cages, which are associated with reduced stress shielding as well as no radiographical artefacts. Since PEEK is bioinert, its osteointegration capacity is limited, which in turn enhances fibrotic tissue formation and peri-implant infections. To address shortcomings of both of these biomaterials, interdisciplinary teams have developed biodegradable cages. Rooted in promising preclinical large animal studies, a hollow cylindrical cage (Hydrosorb™) made of 70:30 poly-l-lactide-co-d, l-lactide acid (PLDLLA) was clinically studied. However, reduced bony integration and unfavourable long-term clinical outcomes prohibited its routine clinical application. More recently, scaffold-guided bone regeneration (SGBR) with application of highly porous biodegradable constructs is emerging. Advancements in additive manufacturing technology now allow the cage designs that match requirements, such as stiffness of surrounding tissues, while providing long-term biomechanical stability. A favourable clinical outcome has been observed in the treatment of various bone defects, particularly for 3D-printed composite scaffolds made of medical-grade polycaprolactone (mPCL) in combination with a ceramic filler material. Therefore, advanced cage design made of mPCL and ceramic may also carry initial high spinal forces up to the time of bony fusion and subsequently resorb without clinical side effects. Furthermore, surface modification of implants is an effective approach to simultaneously reduce microbial infection and improve tissue integration. We present a design concept for a scaffold surface which result in osteoconductive and antimicrobial properties that have the potential to achieve higher rates of fusion and less clinical complications. In this review, we explore the preclinical and clinical studies which used bioresorbable cages. Furthermore, we critically discuss the need for a cutting-edge research program that includes comprehensive preclinical in vitro and in vivo studies to enable successful translation from bench to bedside. We develop such a conceptual framework by examining the state-of-the-art literature and posing the questions that will guide this field in the coming years.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) alloys that have both antibacterial and osteogenic properties are suitable candidates for orthopedic implants. However, the fabrication of ideal Mg implants suitable for bone repair remains challenging because it requires implants with interconnected pore structures and personalized geometric shapes. In this study, we fabricated a porous 3D-printed Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr (denoted as JDBM) implant with suitable mechanical properties using selective laser melting technology. The 3D-printed JDBM implant exhibited cytocompatibility in MC3T3-E1 and RAW267.4 cells and excellent osteoinductivity in vitro. Furthermore, the implant demonstrated excellent antibacterial ratios of 90.0% and 92.1% for methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and Escherichia coli, respectively. The 3D-printed JDBM implant prevented MRSA-induced implant-related infection in a rabbit model and showed good in vivo biocompatibility based on the results of histological evaluation, blood tests, and Mg2+ deposition detection. In addition, enhanced inflammatory response and TNF-α secretion were observed at the bone-implant interface of the 3D-printed JDBM implants during the early implantation stage. The high Mg2+ environment produced by the degradation of 3D-printed JDBM implants could promote M1 phenotype of macrophages (Tnf, iNOS, Ccl3, Ccl4, Ccl5, Cxcl10, and Cxcl2), and enhance the phagocytic ability of macrophages. The enhanced immunoregulatory effect generated by relatively fast Mg2+ release and implant degradation during the early implantation stage is a potential antibacterial mechanism of Mg-based implant. Our findings indicate that 3D-printed porous JDBM implants, having both antibacterial property and osteoinductivity, hold potential for future orthopedic applications. Porous JDBM implants promising mechanical properties was fabricated by selective laser melting. 3D-printed JDBM implant exhibited excellent antibacterial property, osteoinductivity, and biocompatibility. Temporally enhanced immunoregulatory effect in early stage was a potential antibacterial mechanism of Mg-based implant.

Abstract
Metals and alloys, including stainless steel, titanium and its alloys, cobalt alloys, and other metals and alloys have been widely used clinically as implant materials, but implant-related infection or inflammation is still one of the main causes of implantation failure. The bacterial infection or inflammation that seriously threatens human health has already become a worldwide complaint. Antibacterial metals and alloys recently have attracted wide attention for their long-term stable antibacterial ability, good mechanical properties and good biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo. In this review, common antibacterial alloying elements, antibacterial standards and testing methods were introduced. Recent developments in the design and manufacturing of antibacterial metal alloys containing various antibacterial agents were described in detail, including antibacterial stainless steel, antibacterial titanium alloy, antibacterial zinc and alloy, antibacterial magnesium and alloy, antibacterial cobalt alloy, and other antibacterial metals and alloys. Researches on the antibacterial properties, mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of antibacterial metals and alloys have been summarized in detail for the first time. It is hoped that this review could help researchers understand the development of antibacterial alloys in a timely manner, thereby could promote the development of antibacterial metal alloys and the clinical application. This paper focuses the recent development of several antibacterial metals and alloys as biomedical materials. The possible antibacterial mechanisms of antibacterial metals and alloys are summarized in this paper. This review discusses the feasibility of antibacterial metals and alloys as biomedical implants in the future.

Abstract
Infection and insufficient osteointegration are the main causes of orthopedic implant failure. Furthermore, activating favorable inflammation response is vital to the fast osteointegration of implants. Therefore, endowing the implants with multifunctions (antibacterial, anti-inflammation, and pro-osteointegration) is a promising strategy to improve the performance of orthopedic implants. In this study, a Zn-contained polydopamine (PDA) film was fabricated on AZ31 alloy. The film possessed a stable Zn ion release in 14 days. The results of electrochemical analysis implied the favorable corrosion protection of the film, and thus, leading to a suitable hemolysis ratio (below 1%). The in vitro antibacterial assessment revealed that the film exhibited excellent resistance against Staphylococcus aureus (nearly 100%), which can be ascribed to the release of Zn ions. The cell-culture evaluation revealed that the extract of Zn-contained PDA-coated sample can activate RAW264.7 polarization to an anti-inflammatory phenotype, as well as enhance the osteogenic differentiation ability of MC3T3-E1. Additionally, the femoral osteomyelitis model indicated that the as-prepared film had a high antibacterial capability at early stage of the implantation, and showed better osteogenesis and osteointegration after 8 weeks of implantation. With favorable antibacterial, anti-inflammation, and pro-osteogenesis abilities, the novel designed Zn-contained PDA film is promising to be used in Mg-based orthopedic implants.

Abstract
As a revolutionary implant material, magnesium and its alloys have many exciting performances, such as biodegradability, mechanical compatibility, and excellent biosecurity. However, the rapid and uncontrollable degradation rate of magnesium greatly hampers its clinical use. Many efforts have been taken to enhance the corrosion resistance of magnesium. However, it must be noted that improving the corrosion resistance of magnesium will lead to the compromise of its antibacterial abilities, which are attribute and proportional to the alkaline pH during its degradation. Providing antibacterial functionalized coating is one of the best methods for balancing the degradation rate and the antibacterial ability of magnesium. Antibacterial functionalized magnesium is especially well-suited for patients with diabetes and infected wounds. Considering the extremely complex biological environment in the human body and the demands of enhancing corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, osteogenesis, and antibacterial ability, composite coatings with combined properties of different materials may be promising. The aim of this review isto collect and compare recent studies on antibacterial functionalized coatings on magnesium and its alloys. The clinical applications of antibacterial functionalized coatings and their material characteristics, antibacterial abilities, in vitro cytocompatibility, and corrosion resistance are also discussed in detail.

Abstract
Objective The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare the clinical and radiological results of magnesium versus titanium screw fixation for modified distal chevron osteotomy in hallux valgus (HV). Materials and Methods A total of 31 patients who underwent modified distal chevron osteotomy for HV deformity between 2014 and 2017 were reviewed retrospectively. Headless magnesium (Mg) compression screw fixation was applied in 16 patients (17 feet) and headless titanium (Ti) compression screw in 15 patients (17 feet). Patients were followed up for at least 12 months with a mean of 19.0 ± 6.8 months in the Mg screw group and 16.2 ± 6.19 in the Ti screw group, respectively (p: 0.234). Clinical results were evaluated using the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Hallux metatarsophalangeal-interphalangeal (AOFAS-MTP-IP) scale and a visual analogue scale (VAS). The hallux valgus angle (HVA) and intermetatarsal angle (IMA) were measured before and after surgery. Time to osteotomy union and any complications were recorded and compared between the groups. Results An improvement in the AOFAS-MTP-IP scale and VAS points were recorded in both groups with no statistically significant difference between the groups (p: 0.764 and 0.535, resp.). At the final follow-up examination, HVA and IMA were similar (p: 0.226 and 0.712, resp.). There was no significant loss of correction between the early and final radiographs in respect of HVA and IMA in both groups (p: 0.321 and p: 0.067). Full union of the osteotomy was obtained in all patients. Prolonged (1.5 months) swelling and mild hyperemia around the surgical incision were observed in 1 patient in the Mg group but there was a good response to physical and medical therapy, and the complaints were completely resolved. There were no other significant complications in either group. Conclusion The results of this study showed that bioabsorbable Mg compression screw fixation has similar therapeutic efficacy to Ti screw fixation in respect of functional and radiological outcomes. Bioabsorbable Mg screw is an alternative fixation material that can be safely used for modified distal chevron osteotomy in HV surgery.

Abstract
Bone implants are expected to possess antibacterial ability and favorable biodegradability. Ag possesses broad-spectrum antibacterial effects through destroying the respiration and substance transport of bacteria. In this study, Ag was introduced into Mg-3Zn-0.5Zr (ZK30) via selective laser melting technology. Results showed that ZK30-Ag exhibited a strong and stable antibacterial activity against the bacterium Escherichia coli. Moreover, the degradation resistance was enhanced due to the comprehensive effect of positive shifted corrosion potential (from -1.64 to -1.53 V) and grains refinement. The positive shifted corrosion potential reduced the severe galvanic corrosion by lowering the corrosion potential difference between the matrix and the second phase. Meanwhile, the introduction of Ag caused the grain refinement strengthening and precipitated-phase strengthening, resulting in improved compressive yield strength and hardness. Furthermore, ZK30-0.5Ag exhibited good biocompatibility. It was suggested that Ag-modified ZK30 was potential candidate for bone implants.
