Evaluation of the time-dependent osteogenic activity of glycerol incorporated magnesium oxide nanoparticles in induced calvarial defects. Heliyon 2023; 9:e18757. [PMID: 37593643 PMCID: PMC10432181 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e18757] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2023] [Revised: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 07/26/2023] [Indexed: 08/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Magnesium-based biomaterials have been explored for their potential as bone healing materials, as a result of their outstanding biodegradability and biocompatibility. These characteristics make magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO NPs) a promising material for treating bone disorders. The purpose of this investigation is to assess the osteogenic activity of newly-developed locally administered glycerol-incorporated MgO NPs (GIMgO NPs) in rabbits' calvarial defects. Materials and methods Characterization of GIMgO was done by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Bilateral calvarial defects were created in eighteen New Zealand Rabbits, of which they were divided into 3 groups with time points corresponding to 2, 4, and 6 weeks postoperatively (n = 6). One defect was implanted with absorbable gel foam impregnated with GIMgO NPs while the other was implanted with gel foam soaked with glycerol (the control). The defects were assessed using histological, Micro-Computed Tomography (Micro-CT), and histometric evaluation. Results The characterization of the GIMgO nanogel revealed the presence of MgO NPs and glycerol as well as the formation of the crystalline phase of the MgO NPs within the nanogel sample. The histological and micro-CT analysis showed time-dependent improvement of healing activity in the calvarial defects implanted with GIMgO NPs when compared to the control. Furthermore, the histometric analysis demonstrated a marked increase in the total area of new bone, connective tissue, new bone area and volume in the GIMgO NPs implanted site. Statistically, the amount of new bone formation was more significant at 6 weeks than at 2 and 4 weeks postoperatively in the calvarial defects implanted with GIMgO NPs as compared to the control. Conclusion The locally applied GIMgO NPs demonstrated efficacy in promoting bone formation, with more significant effects observed over an extended period. These findings suggest its suitability for clinical use as a therapeutic alternative to enhance bone healing.

Acta Biomater 2023; 164:659-670. [PMID: 37003495 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.03.037] [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: 11/13/2022] [Revised: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023]
Abstract
Metal ions released during wear and corrosion of the artificial knee/hip joints are considered to contribute to aseptic implant failure. However, there are few convincing in vivo studies that demonstrate the effects of metal ions on bone and soft tissue. This study examined the in vivo effects of Co(II)/Cr(III) ions on mouse calvaria and the supra-calvaria soft tissue in an original mouse model. With the implantation of a helmet-like structure, we set up a subcutaneous cavity on the calvaria in which Co(II) Chloride or Cr(III) Chloride solutions were administered respectively. A layer of interface membrane formed on the calvaria along with the implantation of the helmet. The administered Cr(III) ions accumulated in the interface membranes while Co(II) disseminated into the circulation. Accumulated Cr(III) and related products induced local massive macrophage infiltration and skewed the bone metabolic balance. At last, we revealed that lymphocyte aggregates, which are the pathologic hallmark of human periprosthetic tissue, could be caused by either Co(II) or Cr(III) stimulation. These in vivo results may shed light on the effects and pathogenic mechanism of the Co(II)/Cr(III) ions released from the joint prosthesis. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Macrophage infiltration and lymphocyte aggregates are hallmarks of human joint periprosthetic tissue. We chronically administered Co(II)/Cr(III) ions on mouse calvaria and reproduced these two histopathologic hallmarks on mouse tissue based on an implanted helmet-like structure. Our results reveal that Cr(III) ions are locally accumulated and are effective in inducing macrophage infiltration and they can be phagocytosed and stored. However, the lymphocytes aggregates could be induced by both Co(II), Cr(III) and other unspecific inflammatory stimuli.

Abstract
Aim In this study, we aimed to evaluate soft tissue generated by periosteal distraction. Background Management of soft tissue defects represents a challenge in dentistry. Previous periosteal distraction studies documented partial fill of the distraction space with newly-generated bone and fibrous connective tissue. Material and methods Titanium meshes were inserted in subperiosteal tunnels in the calvaria of 20 rats through coronal incision. The devices were immediately activated after insertion by elevation of one side at 1 mm/day for 3 days. Rats were then divided into two groups (n = 10). Animals were sacrificed after 2 weeks (Group 1) and after 4 weeks (Group 2). Distraction sites specimens were embedded in paraffin and analyzed histologically and histomorphometrically. Results In both groups, new periosteum was regenerated and covered the original bone surface in the distraction site. Distraction spaces showed a predomination of hyper-vascularized connective tissue and little new bone formation near to the stable end of the device. The 4-week findings showed more organized collagen fibers with less vascularity compared to the 2-week findings. Conclusion The periosteal distraction technique can effectively regenerate connective tissue. It may open a new modality in the guided tissue regeneration for soft tissue augmentation.

Abstract
Vertical bone augmentation is an important challenge in dental implantology. Existing vertical bone augmentation techniques, along with bone grafting materials, have achieved certain clinical progress but continue to have numerous limitations. In order to evaluate the possibility of using biomaterials to develop bone substitutes, medical devices and/or new bone grafting techniques for vertical bone augmentation, it is essential to establish clinically relevant animal models to investigate their biocompatibility, mechanical properties, applicability and safety. The present review discusses recent animal experiments related to vertical bone augmentation. In addition, surgical protocols for establishing relevant preclinical models with various animal species were reviewed. The present study aims to provide guidance for selecting experimental animal models of vertical bone augmentation.

Abstract
Background Creating a secluded large space using guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a novel osteogenesis technique used in the prevention of premature membrane exposure complications. However, this technique is not considered clinically feasible. Objectives This study aimed to compare the outcome of the insertion of two novel GBR devices in a rabbit calvarial model in terms of mode of action, simplicity, and amount of new space and bone gained. Materials and Methods The expansible GBR (EGBR) device, composed mainly of a titanium plate, silicone membrane, and activation screw, was inserted beneath the periosteum in the calvarial area of eight rabbits. The smart GBR (SGBR) device, composed of silicone sheets and Nitinol strips, were inserted beneath the periosteum in the calvarial area of another 10 rabbits. Half of each group was sacrificed 2 months after surgery, and the other half was sacrificed after 4 months. Results Histological and microradiographical analysis showed that, at 2 months, the EGBR device achieved a mean space gain of 207.2 mm3, a mean bone volume of 68.2 mm3, and a mean maximum bone height of 1.9 mm. Values for the same parameters at 4 months were 202.1 mm3, 70.3 mm3, and 1.6 mm, respectively. The SGBR device had significantly higher (P < 0.05) mean space gain (238.2 mm3; 239.5 mm3), bone volume (112.9 mm3, 107.7 mm3), and bone height (2.7 mm; 2.6 mm) than the EGBR device at 2 and 4 months, respectively. Conclusion Both devices proved to be effective in augmenting bone vertically through the application of GBR and soft tissue expansion processes. However, the SGBR device was more efficient in terms of mode of action, simplicity, and amount of bone created in the new space.

Abstract
The present work defines a modified critical size rabbit ulna defect model for bone regeneration in which a non-resorbable barrier membrane was used to separate the radius from the ulna to create a valid model for evaluation of tissue-engineered periosteal substitutes. Eight rabbits divided into two groups were used. Critical defects (15 mm) were made in the ulna completely eliminating periosteum. For group I, defects were filled with a nanohydroxyapatite poly(ester urethane) scaffold soaked in PBS and left as such (group Ia) or wrapped with a tissue-engineered periosteal substitute (group Ib). For group II, an expanded-polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) (GORE-TEX®) membrane was inserted around the radius then the defects received either scaffold alone (group IIa) or scaffold wrapped with periosteal substitute (group IIb). Animals were euthanized after 12–16 weeks, and bone regeneration was evaluated by radiography, computed microtomography (μCT), and histology. In the first group, we observed formation of radio-ulnar synostosis irrespective of the treatment. This was completely eliminated upon placement of the e-PTFE (GORE-TEX®) membrane in the second group of animals. In conclusion, modification of the model using a non-resorbable e-PTFE membrane to isolate the ulna from the radius was a valuable addition allowing for objective evaluation of the tissue-engineered periosteal substitute.

Abstract
This study evaluated the quantity and quality of newly formed vertical bone induced by sputtered hydroxyapatite-coated titanium implants compared with sandblasted acid-etched implants after dura mater elevation. Hydroxyapatite-coated and non-coated implants (n = 20/group) were used and divided equally into two groups. All implants were randomly placed into rabbit calvarial bone (four implants for each animal) emerging from the inferior cortical layer, displacing the dura mater 3 mm below the original bone. Animals were sacrificed at 4 (n = 5) and 8 (n = 5) weeks post-surgery. Vertical bone height and area were analyzed histologically and radiographically below the original bone. Vertical bone formation was observed in both groups. At 4 and 8 weeks, vertical bone height reached a significantly higher level in the hydroxyapatite compared with the non-coated group (p < 0.05). Vertical bone area was significantly larger in the hydroxyapatite compared with the non-coated group at 4 and 8 weeks (p < 0.05). This study indicates that vertical bone formation can be induced by dura mater elevation and sputtered hydroxyapatite coating can enhance vertical bone formation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To investigate the feasibility of acellular bovine pericardium (BP) for guided bone regeneration (GBR) in vitro and in vivo. The success of GBR relies on the fact that various cellular components possess different migration rates into the defect site and that a barrier membrane plays a significant role in these processes. MATERIAL AND METHODS BP membrane was isolated and decellularized using an enzymatic method. The microarchitecture, mechanical properties, cytotoxicity and cell chemotaxis properties of the acellular BP were evaluated in vitro, and the in-vivo efficacy of the acellular BP was also investigated in a rabbit mandibular model. RESULTS The acellular BP membrane possessed an interconnected fibrous structure. Glutaraldehyde (GA) treatment was efficient for enhancement of the mechanical properties of the acellular BP bur and resulted in negligible cytotoxicity. After 16 wk, standardized osseous defects created in the rabbit mandible, and covered with acellular BP, were associated with an enhanced deposition of mineralized tissue when compared with defects left to spontaneous healing. CONCLUSION GA-treated acellular BP is promising as a barrier membrane for GBR for further in-vivo and clinical studies.
