Characterization of rat vertebrae cortical bone microstructures using confocal Raman microscopy combined to tomography and electron microscopy. Ann Anat 2023; 250:152162. [PMID: 37774934 DOI: 10.1016/j.aanat.2023.152162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 09/16/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The rat vertebrae is a good model to study bone regeneration after implantation of biomaterials used to treat bone loss, a major problem in oral and dental surgery. However, the precise characterization of bone microstructures in the rat vertebrae has not been reported. Therefore, the aim of this study was to achieve the complete analysis of such bone, at different scales, in order to have a clear model of healthy bone for comparison with regenerated bone. METHODS In order to image the cortical bone of rat caudal vertebra, confocal Raman microscopy was combined with high resolution X-ray micro computed tomography (micro-CT), with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) using backscatter electron imaging and with more conventional histology coloration techniques. SEM and Raman microscopy were done in various regions of the cortical bone corresponding to external, middle and internal areas. The spongy bone was imaged in parallel. Micro-CT was performed on the whole vertebra to monitor the network of haversian canals in the cortical bone. Osteonic canals characteristics, and relative chemical composition were analysed in several regions of interest, in cortical and spongy bone. Five rats were included in this study. RESULTS On micro-CT images, differences in intensity were observed in the cortical bone, substantiated by SEM. Chemical analysis with Raman spectra confirmed the difference in composition between the different regions of the cortical and spongy bone. PCA and k-mean cluster analysis separated these groups, except for the external and middle cortical bone. Peak intensity ratio confirmed these results with a CO3 to ν2 PO4 ratio significantly different for the internal cortical bone. Grayscale images stack extracted from micro-CT showed that global architecture of cortical bone was characterized by a dense and complex network of haversian osteonic canals, starting from the surface towards the vertebrae center. The mean diameter of the canals was 18.4 µm (SD 8.6 µm) and the mean length was 450 µm (SD 152 µm). Finally, Raman reconstructed images of the lamellar bone showed an enlargement of the lamellar layer width, both in circumferential lamellar bone and around haversian canals. CONCLUSIONS Micro-CT and confocal Raman microscopy are good tools to complete classical analysis using optical and electron microscopy. The results and measurements presented in a rat model known for its small inter-individual differences provide the main characteristics of a mature bone. This study will allow the community working on this rat vertebrate model to have a set of characteristics, in particular on the structure of the haversian canals.

Nanostructured Porous Silicon for Bone Tissue Engineering: Kinetics of Particle Degradation and Si-Controlled Release. J Funct Biomater 2023; 14:493. [PMID: 37888158 PMCID: PMC10607156 DOI: 10.3390/jfb14100493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2023] [Revised: 09/21/2023] [Accepted: 09/27/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Nanostructured porous silicon (pSi) is a synthetic silicon-based material. Its biocompatibility and bioresorbability in body fluids make pSi an appealing biomaterial for tissue engineering, with surfaces characteristics facilitating human cell adhesion and differentiation. The resorption kinetics of such porous biomaterials is crucial for in vivo bone regeneration, in order to adapt biomaterial resorption to tissue formation, and to control the release of loaded bioactive molecules. We investigated pSi as a bioactive scaffold for bone tissue engineering, with an emphasis on kinetics of pSi resorption and silicon release. PSi particles and chips were fabricated from crystalline silicon, and functionalized by oxidation and chemical grafting of amine groups to mimic biological structures. Materials resorption over time was investigated with Raman spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and Scanning Electron Microscopy. Silicon release was followed by mass spectrometry. Particle degradation and inclusion in newly formed bone were studied in vivo. The in vitro experiments revealed that non-oxidized pSi had an accelerated initial dissolution in ddH2O and an inhibition of initial Si release in SBF. This high reactivity also led to transformation towards amorphous non-resorbable silica when incubated in SBF. PSi resorption started immediately with a maximal dissolution in the first 24 h. Later, the dissolution rate decreased over time. In comparison, the resorption process of oxidized pSi seemed delayed, but more continuous. This delayed dissolution increased the bioactivity and stability, leading to enhanced bone formation in vivo. Delayed pSi degradation provided a constant surge of silicic acid over time and promoted bone regeneration, demonstrating the high potential of pSi for bone tissue engineering: Oxidized pSi were almost completely resorbed after 2 months of healing, with remaining partially dissolved particles surrounded by newly formed bone. On the contrary, non-oxidized particles were still obviously present after 2 months with limited bone regeneration. This delayed resorption is consistent with the in vitro observations in SBF, and particles' transformation towards silica.

Abstract
To date, bone regeneration techniques use many biomaterials for bone grafting with limited efficiencies. For this purpose, tissue engineering combining biomaterials and stem cells is an important avenue of development to improve bone regeneration. Among potentially usable non-toxic and bioresorbable scaffolds, porous silicon (pSi) is an interesting biomaterial for bone engineering. The possibility of modifying its surface can allow a better cellular adhesion as well as a control of its rate of resorption. Moreover, release of silicic acid upon resorption of its nanostructure has been previously proved to enhance stem cell osteodifferentiation by inducing calcium phosphate formation. In the present study, we used a rat tail model to experiment bone tissue engineering with a critical size defect. Two groups with five rats per group of male Wistar rats were used. In each rat, four vertebrae were used for biomaterial implantation. Randomized bone defects were filled with pSi particles alone or pSi particles carrying dental pulp stem cells (DPSC). Regeneration was evaluated in comparison to empty defect and defects filled with xenogenic bone substitute (Bio-Oss®). Fluorescence microscopy and SEM evaluations showed adhesion of DPSCs on pSi particles with cells exhibiting distribution throughout the biomaterial. Histological analyzes revealed the formation of a collagen network when the defects were filled with pSi, unlike the positive control using Bio-Oss®. Overall bone formation was objectivated with µCT analysis and showed a higher bone mineral density with pSi particles combining DPSC. Immunohistochemical assays confirmed the increased expression of bone markers (osteocalcin) when pSi particles carried DPSC. Surprisingly, no grafted cells remained in the regenerated area after one month of healing, even though the grafting of DPSC clearly increased bone regeneration for both bone marker expression and overall bone formation objectivated with µCT. In conclusion, our results show that the association of pSi with DPSCs in vivo leads to greater bone formation, compared to a pSi graft without DPSCs. Our results highlight the paracrine role of grafted stem cells by recruitment and stimulation of endogenous cells.

Abstract
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and its derivative polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) have been used as implant materials for spinal fusing and enjoyed their success for many years because of their mechanical properties similar to bone and their chemical inertness. The osseointegration of PEEKs is datable. Our strategy was to use custom-designed and 3D printed bone analogs with an optimized structure design and a modified PEKK surface to augment bone regeneration for mandibular reconstruction. Those bone analogs had internal porosities and a bioactive titanium oxide surface coating to promote osseointegration between native bone and PEKK analogs. Our workflow was 3D modeling, bone analog designing, structural optimization, mechanical analysis via finite element modeling, 3D printing of bone analogs and subsequently, an in vivo rabbit model study on mandibular reconstruction and histology evaluation. Our results showed the finite element analysis validated that the porous PEKK analogs provided a mechanical-sound structure for functional loadings. The bone analogs offered a perfect replacement for segmented bones in the terms of shape, form and volume for surgical reconstruction. The in vivo results showed that bioactive titanium oxide coating enhanced new bone in-growth into the porous PEKK analogs. We have validated our new approach in surgical mandibular reconstruction and we believe our strategy has a significant potential to improve mechanical and biological outcomes for patients who require mandibular reconstruction procedures.

Abstract
Some of the earliest success in de novo tissue generation was in bone tissue, and advances, facilitated by the use of endogenous and exogenous progenitor cells, continue unabated. The concept of one health promotes shared discoveries among medical disciplines to overcome health challenges that afflict numerous species. Carefully selected animal models are vital to development and translation of targeted therapies that improve the health and well-being of humans and animals alike. While inherent differences among species limit direct translation of scientific knowledge between them, rapid progress in ex vivo and in vivo de novo tissue generation is propelling revolutionary innovation to reality among all musculoskeletal specialties. This review contains a comparison of bone deposition among species and descriptions of animal models of bone restoration designed to replicate a multitude of bone injuries and pathology, including impaired osteogenic capacity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Whereas stationary stability of implants has been postulated for decades, recent studies suggested a phenomenon termed implant migration. This describes a change in position of implants as a reaction to applied forces. The present study aims at employing image registration of in vivo micro-CT scans from different time points and to assess (a) if migration of continuously loaded implants is possible and (b) migration correlates with the force magnitude. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two customized machined implants were placed in the dorsal portion of caudal vertebrae in n = 61 rats and exposed to standardized forces (0.5 N, 1.0 N, and 1.5 N) applied through a flat nickel-titanium contraction spring, or no forces (control). Micro-CT scans were performed at 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks after surgery. The baseline image was registered with the forthcoming scans. Implant migration was measured as the Euclidean distance between implant tips. Bone remodeling was assessed between the baseline and the forthcoming scans. RESULTS The findings confirmed a positional change of the implants at 2 and 8 weeks of healing, and a linear association between applied force and velocity of movement (anterior implant: χ2 = 12.12, df = 3, and p = .007 and posterior implant: χ2 = 20.35, df = 3, and p < .001). Bone apposition was observed around the implants and accompanied by formation of load-bearing trabeculae and a general cortical thickening close and also distant to the implants. CONCLUSION The present analysis confirmed that implants can migrate in bone. The applied forces seemed to stimulate bone thickening, which could explain why implants migrate without affecting stability.

Abstract
Objectives Functional tooth replacement and bone regeneration are parts of the daily practice in modern dentistry, but well-reproducible and relatively inexpensive experimental models are still missing. We aimed to develop a new small animal model to monitor osseointegration utilizing the combination of multiple evaluation protocols. Material and methods After cutting the tail between the C4 and C5 vertebrae in Wistar rats, costume made, parallel walled, non-threaded implants were placed into the center of the tail parallel with its longitudinal axis using a surgical guide. Osseointegration of the titanium implants was followed between 4 and 16 weeks after surgery applying axial extraction force, and resonance frequency analysis as functional tests, and histomorphometry and micro-CT as structural evaluations. Results In functional tests, we observed that both methods are suitable for the detection of the time-dependent increase in osseointegration, but the sensitivity of the pull-out technique (an approximately five times increase with rather low standard error) was much higher than that of the resonance frequency analysis. In structural evaluations, changes in the detected bone implant contact values measured by histomorphometry (yielding 1.5 times increase, with low variations of data) were more reliable than micro-CT based evaluations to screen the developments of contact between bone and implant. Conclusion Our results provide evidence that the caudal vertebrae osseointegration model is useful for the preclinical evaluation of implant integration into the bone. Clinical relevance The combination of the biomechanical and structural tests offers a well-reproducible small animal system that can be suitable for studying the integration of various implant materials and surface treatments.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the suppression of inflammation and enhancement of osteogenesis using chitosan-coated calcium hydroxide-loaded microcapsules (CS-EC@Ca microcapsules) in vivo. Circular defects were created in the mandibular bones of rabbits and filled with Ca(OH)2 , Bio-oss, or CS-EC@Ca microcapsules, and rabbits without drug implantation served as the controls. Lipopolysaccharides were injected in situ daily in all groups for 7 days. Mandibular bones were investigated at 4 and 12 weeks after surgery using micro-CT, histological observations, and real-time PCR analysis. At the postoperation, there was more substantial nascent bone in the microcapsule and Bio-oss groups than in the control group. The recovery of the rabbits in the Ca(OH)2 group was slower than the control group, as determined using micro-CT and histological staining. Osteocalcin and collagen type I production was not significantly different between the microcapsule and Bio-oss groups (p > 0.05), but the expression levels of the two molecules were significantly increased compared to the control and Ca(OH)2 groups at postoperation (p < 0.05). The mRNA transcript levels of inflammatory factors in the microcapsule group had the most reduced expression of IL-6 and TNF-α (p < 0.05). The microcapsules significantly reduced inflammation and promoted osteogenesis in this rabbit model of inflammatory bone destruction. Our findings indicate that CS-EC@Ca microcapsules hold potential for use in apical periodontitis treatment. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res Part A: 106A: 3222-3230, 2018.

Abstract
Although an extensive research is being undertaken, the ideal bone graft and evaluation method of the bone formation draw still a warranted attention. The purpose of this study was to develop a novel multimodal radiomics evaluation method, utilizing X-ray computed tomography (CT) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with Tc-99m-Methyl diphosphonate (Tc-99m-MDP) tracer. These modalities are intended to provide quantitative data concerning the mineral bone density (after evaluation it is referred to as opacity) and the osteoblast activity, at the same time. The properties of bone formation process within poly (methyl methacrylate)-based bone cement graft (PMMA) was compared to that of albumin coated, sterilized, antigen-extracted freeze-dried human bone grafts (HLBC), in caudal vertebrae (C5) of rats. The animals were scanned at 3 and 8 weeks after surgery. In both groups, the mean opacity increased, while the mean Tc-99m-MDP activity decreased. The later parameter was significant (n = 4, p = 0.002) only in HLBC group. The linear regression analysis of PMMA-treated group variables (mean opacity increase; mean Tc-99m-MDP activity decrease), revealed a negative correlation with the medium strength (r = 0.395, p = 0.605). Whereas, it showed strong positive correlation when HLBC group variables were analyzed (r = 0.772, p = 0.012). These results indicate that using HLBC grafts is advantageous in terms of the osteoblast activity and bone vascularization over PMMA cement. Using this regression analysis method, we were able to distinguish characteristics that otherwise could not be distinguished by a regular data analysis. Hence, we propose utilizing this novel method in preclinical tests, and in clinical monitoring of bone healing, in order to improve diagnosis of bone-related diseases.

Abstract
Osteoporosis-related vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) are a common and clinically unmet need with increasing prevalence as the world population ages. Animal OVCF models are essential to the preclinical development of translational tissue engineering strategies. While a number of models currently exist, this protocol describes an optimized method for inducing multiple highly reproducible vertebral defects in a single nude rat. A novel longitudinal semiautomated microcomputed tomography (µCT)-based quantitative structural analysis of the vertebral defects is also detailed. Briefly, rats were imaged at multiple time points post-op. The day 1 scan was reoriented to a standard position, and a standard volume of interest was defined. Subsequent µCT scans of each rat were automatically registered to the day 1 scan so the same volume of interest was then analyzed to assess for new bone formation. This versatile approach can be adapted to a variety of other models where longitudinal imaging-based analysis could benefit from precise 3D semiautomated alignment. Taken together, this protocol describes a readily quantifiable and easily reproducible system for osteoporosis and bone research. The suggested protocol takes 4 months to induce osteoporosis in nude ovariectomized rats and between 2.7 and 4 h to generate, image, and analyze two vertebral defects, depending on tissue size and equipment.

Abstract
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a polyaromatic semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer with mechanical properties favorable for bio-medical applications. Polyetheretherketone forms: PEEK-LT1, PEEK-LT2, and PEEK-LT3 have already been applied in different surgical fields: spine surgery, orthopedic surgery, maxillo-facial surgery etc. Synthesis of PEEK composites broadens the physicochemical and mechanical properties of PEEK materials. To improve their osteoinductive and antimicrobial capabilities, different types of functionalization of PEEK surfaces and changes in PEEK structure were proposed. PEEK based materials are becoming an important group of biomaterials used for bone and cartilage replacement as well as in a large number of diverse medical fields. The current paper describes the structural changes and the surface functionalization of PEEK materials and their most common biomedical applications. The possibility to use these materials in 3D printing process could increase the scientific interest and their future development as well.
