Abstract
AIMS This study aims to assess the synergistic effect of utilizing a bioceramic sealer, NeoPutty, with photobiomodulation (PBM) on dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) for odontogenesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Dental pulp stem cells were collected from 10 premolars extracted from healthy individuals. Dental pulp stem cells were characterized using an inverted-phase microscope to detect cell shape and flow cytometry to detect stem cell-specific surface antigens. Three experimental groups were examined: the NP group, the PBM group, and the combined NP and PBM group. A 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) experiment was conducted to assess the viability of DPSCs. The odontogenic differentiation potential was analyzed using Alizarin red staining, RT-qPCR analysis of odontogenic genes DMP-1, DSPP, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and western blot analysis for detecting BMP-2 and RUNX-2 protein expression. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by a post hoc t-test was employed to examine and compare the mean values of the results. RESULTS The study showed a notable rise in cell viability when NP and PBM were used together. Odontogenic gene expression and the protein expression of BMP-2 and RUNX-2 were notably increased in the combined group. The combined effect of NeoPutty and PBM was significant in enhancing the odontogenic differentiation capability of DPSCs. CONCLUSION The synergistic effect of NeoPutty and PBM produced the most positive effect on the cytocompatibility and odontogenic differentiation potential of DPSCs. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Creating innovative regenerative treatments to efficiently and durably repair injured dental tissues. How to cite this article: Alshawkani HA, Mansy M, Al Ankily M, et al.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 265:130827. [PMID: 38484823 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130827] [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: 07/16/2023] [Revised: 03/10/2024] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024]
Abstract
The treatment of large craniofacial bone defects requires more advanced and effective strategies than bone grafts since such defects are challenging and cannot heal without intervention. In this regard, 3D printing offers promising solutions through the fabrication of scaffolds with the required shape, porosity, and various biomaterials suitable for specific tissues. In this study, 3D-printed polycaprolactone (PCL)-based scaffolds containing up to 30 % tricalcium silicate (TCS) were fabricated and then modified by incorporation of decellularized bone matrix- oxidized sodium alginate (DBM-OA). The results showed that the addition of 20 % TCS increased compressive modulus by 4.5-fold, yield strength by 12-fold, and toughness by 15-fold compared to pure PCL. In addition, the samples containing TCS revealed the formation of crystalline phases with a Ca/P ratio near that of hydroxyapatite (1.67). Cellular experiment results demonstrated that TCS have improved the biocompatibility of PCL-based scaffolds. On day 7, the scaffolds modified with DBM and 20 % TCS exhibited 8-fold enhancement of ALP activity of placenta-derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (P-MSCs) compared to pure PCL scaffolds. The present study's results suggest that the incorporation of TCS and DBM-OA into the PCL-based scaffold improves its mechanical behavior, bioactivity, biocompatibility, and promotes mineralization and early osteogenic activity.

Abstract
Biopolymeric nanoparticulate systems hold favorable carrier properties for active delivery. The enhancement in the research interest in alginate formulations in biomedical and pharmaceutical research, owing to its biodegradable, biocompatible, and bioadhesive characteristics, reiterates its future use as an efficient drug delivery matrix. Alginates, obtained from natural sources, are the colloidal polysaccharide group, which are water-soluble, non-toxic, and non-irritant. These are linear copolymeric blocks of α-(1→4)-linked l-guluronic acid (G) and β-(1→4)-linked d-mannuronic acid (M) residues. Owing to the monosaccharide sequencing and the enzymatically governed reactions, alginates are well-known as an essential bio-polymer group for multifarious biomedical implementations. Additionally, alginate’s bio-adhesive property makes it significant in the pharmaceutical industry. Alginate has shown immense potential in wound healing and drug delivery applications to date because its gel-forming ability maintains the structural resemblance to the extracellular matrices in tissues and can be altered to perform numerous crucial functions. The initial section of this review will deliver a perception of the extraction source and alginate’s remarkable properties. Furthermore, we have aspired to discuss the current literature on alginate utilization as a biopolymeric carrier for drug delivery through numerous administration routes. Finally, the latest investigations on alginate composite utilization in wound healing are addressed.

Abstract
The harsh urine microenvironment (UME), as an inherent hurdle, endangers and renders urethral repair unreachable. Innovatively, the unfavorable UME is utilized as the design source to construct a UME-responsive 3D-printed hydrogel patch for realizing scarless memory repair, wherein laser-excited reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and mechanical strength elevation using chemically crosslinked silicon quantum dots are accessible. Intriguingly, the proposed composite scaffolds can respond to Ca2+ in urine, cause structure reconfiguration, and repress swelling to further enhance scaffold stiffness. Systematic experiments validate that ROS birth and unexpected stiffness elevation in such UME-responsive scaffolds can realize scarless memory repair of the urethra in vivo. Comprehensive mechanism explorations uncover that the activations of cell proliferation and collagen-related genes (e.g., MMP-1 and COL3A1) and the dampening of fibrosis-related (e.g., TGF-β/Smad) and mechanosensitive genes (e.g., YAP/TAZ) are responsible for the scarless memory repair of such UME-responsive scaffolds via enhancing collagen deposition, recalling mechanical memory, decreasing fibrosis and inflammation, and accelerating angiogenesis. The design rationales (e.g., UME-initiated structure reconfiguration and antiswelling) can serve as an instructive and general approach for urethra repair.

Abstract
In this study, a group of injectable composite pastes with a novel formulation consisting of two inorganic components: α-calcium sulfate hemihydrate (α-CSH, P/L = 1.8-2.1 g/ml) and calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA, P/L = 0.1 g/ml) nanoparticles; and three biopolymers: gelatin (2, 4 wt. %), alginate (1, 1.5 wt. %), and chondroitin sulfate (0.5 wt. %) were carefully prepared and thoroughly characterized with commensurate characterizations. The composite sample composed of gelatin (2 wt. %), alginate (1.5 wt. %), chondroitin sulfate (0.5 wt. %), and also CDHA nanoparticles and α-CSH with P/L ratios of 0.1 and 2.1 g/ml, respectively, exhibited optimal properties in terms of injectability, anti-washout performance, and rheological characteristics. After 14 days of immersion of the chosen sample in the simulated body fluid medium, a dense layer of apatite was formed on the surface of the composite paste. The cellular in vitro tests, such as 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay (MTT), alkaline phosphatase assay, 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole staining, and cellular attachment, revealed the desirable response of MG-63 cells to the composite paste. The chondroitin sulfate significantly improved the injectability, anti-washout performance, and cellular response of the samples. Considering the promising features of the composite paste prepared in this research work, it could be considered as an alternative injectable bioactive material for bone repair applications.[Formula: see text].

JOURNAL OF THE AIR & WASTE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION (1995) 2021; 71:1013-1024. [PMID: 33900893 DOI: 10.1080/10962247.2021.1918288] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2020] [Revised: 03/10/2021] [Accepted: 04/05/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
In order to solve problems of land occupation and environment damage resulted from massive municipal solid waste incineration bottom ash sludge (MSWI-BAS), sintered lightweight aggregates (LWA) were prepared from MSWI-BAS. Additives are of great significance for the preparation of high-performance LWA and the utilization of MSWI-BAS resources, so their effect on properties of LWA was investigated. The results showed that when the content of water glass was 20%, compressive strength of LWA reached a maximum of 8.4 MPa, and 1-hr water absorption reached a minimum of 5%. The reason was that the addition of water glass brought a lot of Na+ and Si(OH)4, and the internal crystals of water glass were converted into rod-shaped zeolite crystals, thereby forming a high-density structure. The addition of coal powder led to the formation of gas in LWA, thus reducing the density of LWA. At the same time, it was also conducive to earlier generation of liquid phase in LWA, making its internal structure dense. When the content of coal powder was 5%, 15%, and 20%, the modification effect was better, and compressive strength of LWA was larger, about 4 MPa. Additives are of great significance for the preparation of high-performance LWA and the utilization of MSWI-BAS resources.Implications: In this study, we have prepared LWA with MSWI-BAS. At the same time of X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and FT-IR analysis of raw materials, we also investigated effect of water glass and coal powder on characteristics (particle density, 1-hr water absorption, and compressive strength) of lightweight aggregates, and good results were obtained. For explanations, several characterizations were carried out, such as XRD and SEM. The sludge disposal problem is reduced. It opens up a new way for the utilization of solid waste resources. In addition, it meets with the concept of green development of building materials and makes the production of LWA have a broader development prospect.

Abstract
In this work, novel magnesium calcium phosphate/sodium alginate composite cements were successfully fabricated with a proper setting time (5-24 min) and high compressive strength (91.1 MPa). The physicochemical and biological properties of the cement in vitro were fully characterized. The composite cements could gradually degrade in PBS as the soaking time increase, and the weight loss reached 20.74% by the end of 56th day. The cements could induce the deposition of Ca-P layer in SBF. Cell experiments proved that the extracts of the composite cements can effectively promote the proliferation and differentiation of the mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). These preliminary results indicate that the magnesium calcium phosphate/sodium alginate composite cements could be promising as potential bone repair candidate materials.

Abstract
Alginate is an edible heteropolysaccharide that abundantly available in the brown seaweed and the capsule of bacteria such as Azotobacter sp. and Pseudomonas sp. Owing to alginate gel forming capability, it is widely used in food, textile and paper industries; and to a lesser extent in biomedical applications as biomaterial to promote wound healing and tissue regeneration. This is evident from the rising use of alginate-based dressing for heavily exuding wound and their mass availability in the market nowadays. However, alginate also has limitation. When in contact with physiological environment, alginate could gelate into softer structure, consequently limits its potential in the soft tissue regeneration and becomes inappropriate for the usage related to load bearing body parts. To cater this problem, wide range of materials have been added to alginate structure, producing sturdy composite materials. For instance, the incorporation of adhesive peptide and natural polymer or synthetic polymer to alginate moieties creates an improved composite material, which not only possesses better mechanical properties compared to native alginate, but also grants additional healing capability and promote better tissue regeneration. In addition, drug release kinetic and cell viability can be further improved when alginate composite is used as encapsulating agent. In this review, preparation of alginate and alginate composite in various forms (fibre, bead, hydrogel, and 3D-printed matrices) used for biomedical application is described first, followed by the discussion of latest trend related to alginate composite utilization in wound dressing, drug delivery, and tissue engineering applications.
