Abstract
Periprosthetic tissue inflammation is a challenging complication arising in joint replacement surgeries, which is often caused by wear debris from polyethylene (PE) components. In this study, we examined the potential biological effects of grafting a [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium hydroxide (MEDSAH) polymer onto the surface of PE through a solvent-evaporation technique. J774A.1 macrophage-like cells and primary cultured mouse osteoblasts were treated with PE powder with or without the MEDSAH coating. MEDSAH grafting on PE substantially reduced the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and other mediators in primary cultured mouse osteoblasts, but did not significantly impact macrophage-mediated inflammation. Our findings suggest that a MEDSAH coating on PE-based materials has potential utility in mitigating periprosthetic tissue inflammation and osteolysis and preventing aseptic loosening in total joint replacements. Further research, including large-scale clinical trials and biomechanical analyses, is needed to assess the long-term performance and clinical implications of MEDSAH-coated PE-based materials in total joint arthroplasty.

Osteolysis: A Literature Review of Basic Science and Potential Computer-Based Image Processing Detection Methods. COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND NEUROSCIENCE 2021; 2021:4196241.

Abstract
Osteolysis is one of the most prominent reasons of revision surgeries in total joint arthroplasty. This biological phenomenon is induced by wear particles and corrosion products that stimulate inflammatory biological response of surrounding tissues. The eventual responses of osteolysis are the activation of macrophages leading to bone resorption and prosthesis failure. Various factors are involved in the initiation of osteolysis from biological issues, design, material specifications, and model of the prosthesis to the health condition of the patient. Nevertheless, the factors leading to osteolysis are sometimes preventable. Changes in implant design and polyethylene manufacturing are striving to improve overall wear. Osteolysis is clinically asymptomatic and can be diagnosed and analyzed during follow-up sessions through various imaging modalities and methods, such as serial radiographic, CT scan, MRI, and image processing-based methods, especially with the use of artificial neural network algorithms. Deep learning algorithms with a variety of neural network structures such as CNN, U-Net, and Seg-UNet have proved to be efficient algorithms for medical image processing specifically in the field of orthopedics for the detection and segmentation of tumors. These deep learning algorithms can effectively detect and analyze osteolytic lesions well in advance during follow-up sessions in order to administer proper treatments before reaching a critical point. Osteolysis can be treated surgically or nonsurgically with medications. However, revision surgeries are the only solution for the progressive osteolysis. In this literature review, the underlying causes, mechanisms, and treatments of osteolysis are discussed with the main focus on the possible computer-based methods and algorithms that can be effectively employed for the detection of osteolysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemiarthroplasty using a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel synthetic implant has been suggested as a good alternative to arthrodesis for the treatment of hallux rigidus. However, failure rates as high as 20% have been recorded. PURPOSE To characterize the pathological processes in bone, cartilage, and the synovial membrane after PVA hemiarthroplasty in an ovine model with 6 months of follow-up. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS A unilateral osteochondral defect (8-mm diameter × 10-mm depth) was made in the medial femoral condyle in 6 sheep. Animals were randomized to receive a PVA implant (n = 4) or to have an empty defect (n = 2) and were monitored for 6 months. Patellofemoral radiographs were obtained at monthly intervals, and quantitative computed tomography was performed at the end of the study. After death, the joints were macroscopically evaluated and scored. Osteochondral and synovial membrane histological findings were assessed using modified Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) and aseptic lymphocyte-dominated vasculitis-associated lesion (ALVAL) scoring systems. Immunohistochemistry using Iba1 was performed to evaluate activated macrophage infiltration. RESULTS Overall, 2 sheep with PVA implants were euthanized at 1 and 5 months because of uncontrollable pain and lameness (failed implants). Quantitative computed tomography showed that sheep with failed implants had 2.1-fold more osteolysis than those with successful implants. The sheep with failed implants had osteoarthritis with extensive glycosaminoglycan loss and cartilage fibrillation of the condyle and opposing tibial surface on histological examination. A foreign body reaction with severe chronic lymphoplasmacytic and granulomatous inflammation with giant cells was detected surrounding the implant. The synovial membrane ALVAL score was 9 of 19 and 14 of 19 in failed implants with synovial hyperplasia and lymphoplasmacytic and macrophage infiltration. In contrast, the synovial membrane in successful implants and empty defects was normal (ALVAL score = 0/19). Immunolabeling for Iba1 in failed implants confirmed extensive and dense macrophage infiltration within the condyle and synovial membrane, with the highest immunoreactive score (9/9). CONCLUSION PVA hydrogel implants had a 50% failure rate with uncontrollable pain, severe osteolysis, inflammation, and foreign body reactions. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The failure rate and pathological characteristics of the PVA implants suggest that their use should not be continued in human patients without further in vivo safety studies.

Abstract
Objectives Implant failure leading to revision total joint arthroplasty can occur through a variety of different mechanisms which are typically associated with a soft tissue response adjacent to the implant that provide insight into the underlying etiology of implant failure. The objective of this study was to elucidate mechanisms of implant failure as they relate to histological classification and findings of adjacent periprosthetic tissue. Methods Histological analysis of soft tissue adjacent to the implant was performed in 99 patients with an average age of 64 years old and grouped into four categories based on the study conducted by Morawietz et al.:Type I (N = 47)Wear particle induced typeType II (N = 7)Infectious typeType III (N = 19)Combined type I and IIType IV (N = 26)Indeterminant typeModes of failure were categorized into five groupings based on the study conducted by Callies et al.: Instability (N = 35), Aseptic Loosening (N = 24), Hardware and/or Mechanical Failure (N = 15), Septic (N = 13), and Other failures (N = 12). We calculated odds ratios and conducted regression analysis to assess the relationship between modes of failure and histological findings as well as modes of failure and comorbidities. Results Hardware/mechanical failure was independently correlated with histological findings of anucleate protein debris, histiocytes, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and synovitis. Furthermore, hardware/mechanical failure was independently correlated with osteosarcoma as a co-morbidity. Septic failure was associated with histological findings of Enterococcus, granulation tissue, and tissue necrosis as well as comorbidities of Crohn's disease, deep venous thrombosis, lung disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. Infection was 5.8 times more likely to be associated with Type II histology. Aseptic loosening was associated with histologic findings of synovitis. Conclusion Our findings support the existing literature on periprosthetic tissue analysis in revision total joint arthroplasty which may improve surgeon understanding of the patholophysiological mechanisms that contribute to implant failure and revision surgery.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a painful, disabling condition which is increasing in
prevalence as a result of an ageing population. With no recognized
disease-limiting therapeutics, arthroplasty of the hip and knee is the most
common and effective treatment for lower limb osteoarthritis, however lower limb
arthroplasty has a finite life-span and a proportion of patients will require
revision arthroplasty. With increasing life expectancy and an increasing
proportion of younger (<65 years) patients undergoing arthroplasty, the
demand for revision arthroplasty after implant failure is also set to
increase. Statins are cholesterol-modulating drugs widely used for cardiovascular risk
reduction which have been noted to have pleiotropic effects including
potentially influencing arthroplasty survival. In vitro studies
have demonstrated pleiotropic effects in human bone cells, including enhancement
of osteoblastogenesis following simvastatin exposure, and in
vivo studies have demonstrated that intraperitoneal simvastatin can
increase peri-implant bone growth in rats following titanium tibial implant
insertion. There is evidence that statins may also influence osseointegration,
enhancing bone growth at the bone–implant interface, subsequently improving the
functional survival of implants. Data from the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Registry
and the Clinical Practice Research Datalink in the UK suggest a reduction in the
risk of lower limb revision arthroplasty in statin ever-users
versus never-users, and a time-dependent effect of statins
in reducing the risk of revision. In this article we review the clinical and
experimental evidence linking statins and risk of revision arthroplasty.

Abstract
Total joint replacement is one of the most effective treatments for osteoarthritis, while the aseptic loosening of artificial joint is a major complication leading to the joint replacement failure. There are very limited studies about the effects of titanium-alloy particles on the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. In this study, human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-hMSCs) were treated with different concentrations of TiAl6V4 particles. The cell viability was detected by MTT assay, and the cell proliferation was assessed by CKK-8 assay. The early and late stages of osteogenic differentiation were determined by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Alizarin Red S (ARS) staining assays. The expression of osteogenic genes and proteins was analyzed by RT-PCR and Western blot. TiAl6V4 particles at high concentration 100 μg/ml inhibited the cell viability of BM-hMSCs. However, TiAl6V4 in the range of 5-50 μg/ml did not show effects neither on the cell viability nor on the cell proliferation of BM-hMSCs. TiAl6V4 particles showed concentration-dependent bidirectional regulations on BM-hMSC osteogenesis. Specifically, TiAl6V4 at 5 μg/ml promoted the osteogenesis of BM-hMSCs, which was suppressed by TiAl6V4 at 50 μg/ml. Further, mechanism study revealed that the regulation of TiAl6V4 on BM-hMSCs was related to Wnt signaling pathway. Given the potential of mesenchymal cells, our study suggested that the minimization of metal use would be an attractive strategy to reduce the joint replacement failure.

Abstract
Osteolysis adjacent to total hip replacement (THR) prostheses is a major cause of their eventual failure. Periprosthetic osteolysis is associated with the production of bioactive particles, produced by the wear of articulating prosthesis surfaces. Wear particles invade the periprosthetic tissue, inducing inflammation and bone resorption. Previous studies have shown that osteocytes, the most numerous cell type in mineralised bone, can respond to wear particles of multiple orthopaedic material types. Osteocytes play important roles in bone resorption, regulating bone resorption by osteoclasts and directly through osteocytic osteolysis, also known as perilacunar remodelling. In this study, we perform a histological analysis of bone biopsies obtained from cohorts of male and female patients undergoing either primary THR surgery or revision THR surgery for aseptic loosening. The osteocyte lacunae area (Ot.Lac.Ar) and percentage lacunar area/bone area (%Ot.Lac.Ar/B.Ar) were significantly larger overall in revision THR bone than bone from similar sites in primary THR. Analysis by patient gender showed that increased Ot.Lac.Ar, indicative of increased perilacunar remodelling, was restricted to female revision samples. No significant differences in osteoclast parameters were detectable between the cohorts. These findings suggest previously unrecognised gender-specific mechanisms of bone loss in orthopaedic wear particle-induced osteolysis in humans.

Abstract
When presented with an adverse stimulus, organisms evoke an immediate, pre-programmed, non-specific innate immune response. The purpose of this reaction is to maintain the organism's biological integrity and function, mitigate or eradicate the injurious source, and re-establish tissue homeostasis. The initial stage of this protective reaction is acute inflammation, which normally reduces or terminates the offending stimulus. As the inflammatory reaction recedes, the stage of tissue repair and regeneration follows. If the above sequence of events is perturbed, reconstitution of normal biological form and function will not be achieved. Dysregulation of these activities may result in incomplete healing, fibrosis, or chronic inflammation. Our laboratory has studied the reaction to wear particles from joint replacements as a paradigm for understanding the biological pathways of acute and chronic inflammation, and potential translational treatments to reconstitute lost bone. As inflammation is the cornerstone for healing in all anatomical locations, the concepts developed have relevance to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine in all organ systems. To accomplish our goal, we developed novel in vitro and in vivo models (including the murine femoral continuous intramedullary particle infusion model), translational strategies including modulation of macrophage chemotaxis and polarization, and methods to interfere with key transcription factors NFκB and MyD88. We purposefully modified MSCs to facilitate bone healing in inflammatory scenarios: by preconditioning the MSCs, and by genetically modifying MSCs to first sense NFκB activation and then overexpress the anti-inflammatory pro-regenerative cytokine IL-4. These advancements provide significant translational opportunities to enhance healing in bone and other organs.

Osteocytes respond to particles of clinically-relevant conventional and cross-linked polyethylene and metal alloys by up-regulation of resorptive and inflammatory pathways. Acta Biomater 2019; 87:296-306. [PMID: 30690207 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2019.01.047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2018] [Revised: 01/18/2019] [Accepted: 01/24/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Periprosthetic osteolysis is a major cause of implant failure in total hip replacements. Aseptic loosening caused by osteolytic lesions is associated with the production of bioactive wear particles from the articulations of implants. Wear particles infiltrate the surrounding tissue of implants, promoting inflammation as well as bone resorption. Osteocytes have been shown to both regulate physiological osteoclastogenesis and directly remodel their perilacunar bone matrix by the process of osteocytic osteolysis. We hypothesise that osteocytes respond to wear debris of orthopaedic implant materials by adopting a pro-catabolic phenotype and thus contribute to periprosthetic osteolysis through the known pathways of bone loss. Osteocyte responses to particles derived from clinically relevant materials, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), highly cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and metal alloys, Ti6Al4V and CoCrMo, were examined in vitro in human primary osteocyte-like cultures. Osteocyte-like cells exposed to both polyethylene and metal wear particle types showed upregulated expression of catabolic markers associated with osteocytic osteolysis, MMP13, carbonic anhydrase 2 (CA2) and cathepsin K (CTSK). In addition, pro-osteoclastogenesis markers RANKL and M-CSF were induced, as well as the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL-6 and TNFα, albeit with different kinetics. These findings suggest a previously unrecognised action of wear particles of multiple orthopaedic materials on osteocytes, and suggest a multifaceted role for osteocytes in periprosthetic osteolysis. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This study addresses periprosthetic osteolysis, a major clinical problem leading to aseptic loosening of orthopaedic implants. It is well accepted that wear particles of polyethylene and of other implant materials stimulate the activity of bone resorbing osteoclasts. Our recent work provided evidence that commercial particles of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) stimulated osteocytes to adopt a bone catabolic state. In this study we demonstrate for the first time that particles derived from materials in clinical use, conventional UHMWPE, highly cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), and Ti6Al4V and CoCrMo metal alloys, all stimulate human osteocyte activities of osteocyte-regulated osteoclastogenesis, osteocytic osteolysis, proinflammatory responses, osteocyte apoptosis, albeit to varying extents. This study provides further mechanistic insight into orthopaedic wear particle mediated bone disease in terms of the osteocyte, the most abundant and key controlling cell type in bone.

Abstract
Inflammatory reactions associated with osteolysis and aseptic loosening are the result of wear particles generated at the articulating surfaces of implant components. The aim of the present study was to analyze the biological response of human osteoblasts and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) after exposure to metallic and alumina ceramic particles regarding cellular differentiation, cytokine release, and monocyte migration. Cells were exposed to particles (0.01 and 0.05 mg/ml) from an alumina matrix composite (AMC) ceramic and a CoCr28Mo6 alloy with an average size of 0.5 µm over 48 and 96 h. The expression rates of osteogenic (Col1A1, ALP) and pro-osteoclastic (RANK, Trap5b) differentiation markers as well as pro-osteolytic mediators (MMP-1, TIMP-1, IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1) were determined and soluble protein concentrations of active MMP-1, IL-6, IL-8, and pro-collagen type 1 in cell culture supernatants were evaluated. Additionally, the capacity of particle-treated osteoblasts to attract potentially pro-inflammatory cells to the site of particle exposure was investigated by migration assays using osteoblast-conditioned media. The cellular morphology and metabolism of human osteoblasts and adherent PBMCs were influenced by particle type and concentration. In human osteoblasts, Col1A1 expression rates and protein production were significantly reduced after exposing cells to the lower concentration of cobalt-chromium (CoCr) and AMC particles. Exposure to AMC particles (0.01 mg/ml) resulted in increased mRNA levels of RANK and Trap5b in adherent PBMCs. For MMP-1 gene expression, elevated levels were more prominent after incubation with CoCr compared to AMC particles in osteoblasts, which was not reflected by the protein data. Interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 mRNA and protein were induced in both cell types after treatment with AMC particles, whereas exposure to CoCr particles resulted in significantly upregulated IL-6 and IL-8 protein contents in PBMCs only. Exposure of osteoblasts to CoCr particles reduced the chemoattractant potential of osteoblast-conditioned medium. Our results demonstrate distinct effects of AMC and CoCr particles in human osteoblasts and PBMCs. Complex cell and animal models are required to further evaluate the impact of cellular interactions between different cell types during particle exposure.

Abstract
Total joint replacements (TJR) are costly procedures required to relieve pain and restore function in patients suffering from end-stage arthritis. Despite great progress in the development and durability of TJRs, the generation of prosthesis-associated wear particles over time leads to an inflammatory cascade which culminates in periprosthetic osteolysis. Studies suggest that wear particles drive the polarization/differentiation of immature macrophages towards a pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype rather than an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype associated with normal bone and wound healing. This, in turn, contributes to the initiation of peri-implant inflammation. As a result, modulating M1 macrophage cytokine production has been recognised as a viable therapeutic option. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of hydroxyapatite (HA) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) particles on human macrophage polarization by comparing their effect on M1/M2-associated gene expression using real-time PCR. Furthermore, using immunoblotting to assess kinase activation, we sought to identify the intracellular signalling molecules activated by PMMA/HA particles and to determine whether pharmacological blockade of these molecules impacts on macrophage phenotype and cytokine production as measured by ELISA. We report that wear particles preferentially polarize macrophages towards an M1 phenotype, an effect that is dependent on activation of the membrane proximal kinase, Syk and members of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family of signalling molecules. Pre-treatment of macrophages with Syk inhibitors (R788/piceatannol) or MAPK inhibitors (SB203580 and PD98059), not only prevents M1 polarization, but also attenuates production of key pro-inflammatory mediators that have been specifically implicated in periprosthetic osteolysis and osteoclast differentiation. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE It is now well established that wear-debris particles from implanted materials drive deleterious inflammatory responses which can eventually lead to implant loosening. In this study, we provide further insight into the specific cellular pathways activated by wear particles in primary human immune cells. We demonstrate that PMMA bone cement and hydroxyapatite, a commonly used biomaterial, drive the polarization of macrophages towards an inflammatory phenotype and identify the specific signalling molecules that are activated in this process. Pre-treatment of macrophages with pharmacological inhibitors of these molecules in turn prevents macrophage polarization and dampens inflammatory cytokine production. Hence these signalling molecules represent potential therapeutic targets to treat or possibly prevent particulate induced osteolysis.

Abstract
Objectives Recently, high failure rates of metal-on-metal (MOM) hip implants have raised concerns of cobalt toxicity. Adverse reactions occur to cobalt nanoparticles (CoNPs) and cobalt ions (Co2+) during wear of MOM hip implants, but the toxic mechanism is not clear. Methods To evaluate the protective effect of zinc ions (Zn2+), Balb/3T3 mouse fibroblast cells were pretreated with 50 μM Zn2+ for four hours. The cells were then exposed to different concentrations of CoNPs and Co2+ for four hours, 24 hours and 48 hours. The cell viabilities, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and inflammatory cytokines were measured. Results CoNPs and Co2+ can induce the increase of ROS and inflammatory cytokines, such as tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). However, Zn pretreatment can significantly prevent cytotoxicity induced by CoNPs and Co2+, decrease ROS production, and decrease levels of inflammatory cytokines in Balb/3T3 mouse fibroblast cells. Conclusion These results suggest that Zn pretreatment can provide protection against inflammation and cytotoxicity induced by CoNPs and Co2+ in Balb/3T3 cells. Cite this article: Y. Liu, H. Zhu, H.

Abstract
We hypothesized that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in macrophages induced by wear particles was one of the reasons for particle-induced osteolysis (PIO) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) failure. In the present study, the expression of ER stress markers was examined by Western blot in macrophages treated with particles from materials used in prosthetics, specimens from PIO animal models and patients suffering from aseptic loosening. To address whether ER stress triggers these inflammatory responses, the effect of an ER stress blocker on the expression of inflammatory cytokines in particle-treated macrophages and PIO animal models was tested. The results demonstrated that ER stress markers were significantly upregulated in particle-treated macrophages, periosteum tissues from PIO animal models and clinical specimens of prosthesis loosening. Blocking ER stress with a specific inhibitor dramatically reduced the particle-induced expression of inflammatory cytokines in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, in PIO animal models, this ER stress blocker dramatically suppressed the differentiation of osteoclasts and reduced the severity of osteolysis. Thus, the results of the present study suggest that ER stress plays a key role in particle-induced osteolysis and that targeting the ER stress pathway may lead to novel therapeutic approaches for the treatment of aseptic prosthesis loosening.

Effect of a CCR1 receptor antagonist on systemic trafficking of MSCs and polyethylene particle-associated bone loss. Biomaterials 2012; 33:3632-8.

Abstract
Particle-associated periprosthetic osteolysis remains a major issue in joint replacement. Ongoing bone loss resulting from wear particle-induced inflammation is accompanied by continued attempts at bone repair. Previously we showed that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are recruited systemically to bone exposed to continuous infusion of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) particles. The chemokine-receptor axis that mediates this process is unknown. We tested two hypotheses: (1) the CCR1 receptor mediates the systemic recruitment of MSCs to UHMWPE particles and (2) recruited MSCs are able to differentiate into functional mature osteoblasts and decrease particle-associated bone loss. Nude mice were allocated randomly to four groups. UHMWPE particles were continuously infused into the femoral shaft using a micro-pump. Genetically modified murine wild type reporter MSCs were injected systemically via the left ventricle. Non-invasive imaging was used to assay MSC migration and bone mineral density. Bioluminescence and immunohistochemistry confirmed the chemotaxis of reporter cells and their differentiation into mature osteoblasts in the presence of infused particles. Injection of a CCR1 antagonist decreased reporter cell recruitment to the UHMWPE particle infusion site and increased osteolysis. CCR1 appears to be a critical receptor for chemotaxis of MSCs in the presence of UHMWPE particles. Interference with CCR1 exacerbates particle-induced bone loss.

Abstract
In this study of 41 patients, we used proteomic, Western blot and immunohistochemical analyses to show that several reactive oxygen species scavenging enzymes are expressed differentially in patients with primary osteoarthritis and those with non-loosening and aseptic loosening after total hip replacement (THR). The patients were grouped as A (n = 16, primary THR), B (n = 10, fixed THR but requiring revision for polyethylene wear) and C (n = 15, requiring revision due to aseptic loosening) to verify the involvement of the identified targets in aseptic loosening. When compared with Groups A and B, Group C patients exhibited significant up-regulation of transthyretin and superoxide dismutase 3, but down-regulation of glutathione peroxidase 2 in their hip synovial fluids. Also, higher levels of superoxide dismutase 2 and peroxiredoxin 2, but not superoxide dismutase 1, catalase and glutathione perioxidase 1, were consistently detected in the hip capsules of Group C patients. We propose that dysregulated reactive oxygen species-related enzymes may play an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of aseptic loosening after THR.

Abstract
We investigated the interactions of particulate PMMA or titanium alloy, patient blood monocytes, and periprosthetic tissues using a SCID-hu model of aseptic loosening. Periprosthetic tissues and bone chips obtained at revision surgery for loosening were transplanted into muscles of SCID mice. Peripheral blood monocytes (PBMCs) isolated from the same donors were fluorescently labeled and co-cultured with PMMA or Ti-6Al-4V particles before intraperitoneal injection. Control mice with periprosthetic tissue or non-inflammatory ligament xenografts received naive PBMCs transfusion. Mice were euthanized 2 weeks after PBMC transfusion. The human tissues were well accepted in SCID mice. Transfused fluorescent-labeled PBMCs were markedly accumulated in transplanted periprosthetic tissues. Multinucleated osteoclast-like cells were commonly seen within retrieved xenograft tissue, and focal bone erosions were ubiquitous. Total cell densities and CD68+ cells within the xenograft were significantly increased in mice transfused with PMMA and Ti-provoked PBMCs compared to the naïve PBMC animals (p < 0.05). Immunohistochemical staining identified much stronger positive IL-1 and TNF stains in xenografts from either PMMA or Ti-stimulated monocytes transfusion groups (p < 0.05). TRAP+ cells were found around bone chips in both activated-PBMCs groups, although markedly more aggregated TRAP+ cells in the PMMA-challenged group than in the titanium group (p < 0.05). MicroCT assessment confirmed the significant decrease of bone mineral density in chips interacted with activated-monocytes/osteoclasts. In conclusion, PMMA or titanium particles readily activate peripheral monocytes and promote the cell trafficking to the debris-containing prosthetic tissues. Particles-provoked PBMCs participated in and promoted the local inflammatory process, osteoclastogenesis, and bone resorption.

Abstract
Cervical spinal disc replacement is used in the management of degenerative cervical disc disease in an attempt to preserve cervical spinal movement and to prevent adjacent disc overload and subsequent degeneration. A large number of patients have undergone cervical spinal disc replacement, but the effectiveness of these implants is still uncertain. In most instances, degenerative change at adjacent levels represents the physiological progression of the natural history of the arthritic disc, and is unrelated to the surgeon. Complications of cervical disc replacement include loss of movement from periprosthetic ankylosis and ossification, neurological deficit, loosening and failure of the device, and worsening of any cervical kyphosis. Strict selection criteria and adherence to scientific evidence are necessary. Only prospective, randomised clinical trials with long-term follow-up will establish any real advantage of cervical spinal disc replacement over fusion.

Abstract
Most metals in contact with biological systems undergo corrosion by an electrochemical process. This study investigated whether human osteoclasts (OC) are able to grow on stainless steel (SS) and directly corrode the metal alloy leading to the formation of corresponding metal ions, which may cause inflammatory reactions and activate the immune system. Scanning electron microscopy analysis demonstrated long-term viable OC cultures and evident resorption features on the surface of SS discs on which OC were cultured for 21 days. The findings were confirmed by atomic emission spectrometry investigations showing significantly increased levels of chromium, nickel, and manganese in the supernatant of OC cultures. Furthermore, significant levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1beta, IL-6, and TNF-alpha, which are considered to be major mediators of osteolysis, were revealed in the same cultures by cytometric bead array analysis. Within the present study, it was shown that human osteoclast precursors are able to grow and differentiate towards mature OC on SS. The mature cells are able to directly corrode the metal surface and release corresponding metal ions, which induce the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines that are known to enhance osteoclast differentiation, activation, and survival. Enhanced corrosion and the subsequently released metal ions may therefore result in enhanced osteolytic lesions in the peri-prosthetic bone, contributing to the aseptic loosening of the implant.

Abstract
Staphylococcus epidermidis infections are usually nosocomial and involve colonization of biomaterials. The immune defense system cannot efficiently control the bacteria during these infections, which often results in protracted chronic inflammation, in which a key event is disturbed removal of neutrophils by tissue macrophages. While ingesting uninfected apoptotic neutrophils, macrophages release anti-inflammatory cytokines that lead to resolution of inflammation. In clinical studies, we have previously found elevated levels of the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 in synovial fluid from prostheses infected with coagulase negative staphylococci. We show that macrophages phagocytosing apoptotic neutrophils containing S. epidermidis released TNF-alpha and interleukin-6, whereas macrophages phagocytosing spontaneously apoptotic neutrophils did not. This difference was not due to dissimilar phagocytic capacities, because macrophages ingested both types of neutrophils to the same extent. The activation was induced mainly by the apoptotic neutrophils themselves, not by the few remaining extracellular bacteria. Macrophages were not activated by apoptotic neutrophils that contained paraformaldehyde-killed S. epidermidis. Proinflammatory reactions induced by clearance of apoptotic neutrophils containing S. epidermidis might represent an important mechanism to combat the infective agent. This activation of macrophages may contribute to the development of chronic inflammation instead of inflammation resolution.

Abstract
Titanium and its alloys are widely used as implant materials for dental and orthopaedic applications due to their advantageous bulk mechanical properties and biocompatibility, compared to other metallic biomaterials. In order to improve their wear and corrosion resistance, several surface modifications that give rise to an outer ceramic layer of rutile have been developed. The ability of rutile wear debris to stimulate the release of inflammatory cytokines from macrophages has not been addressed to date. We have compared the in vitro biocompatibility of sub-cytotoxic doses of rutile and titanium particles in THP-1 cells driven to the monocyte/macrophage differentiation pathway as well as in primary cultures of human macrophages. Confocal microscopy experiments indicated that differentiated THP-1 cells and primary macrophages efficiently internalised rutile and titanium particles. Treatment of THP-1 cells with rutile particles stimulated the release of TNF-alpha, IL-6 and IL-1beta to a lesser extent than titanium. The influence of osteoblasts on the particle-induced stimulation of TNF-alpha and IL-1beta was analysed by co-culturing differentiated THP-1 cells with human primary osteoblasts. Under these conditions, secretion levels of both cytokines after treatment of THP-1 cells with rutile particles were lower than after exposure to titanium. Finally, we observed that primary macrophages released higher amounts of TNF-alpha, IL-6 and IL-1beta after incubation with titanium particles than with rutile. Taken together, these data indicate that rutile particles are less bioreactive than titanium particles and, therefore, a higher biocompatibility of titanium-based implants modified with an outer surface layer of rutile is expected.

Abstract
Periprosthetic osteolysis remains the leading complication of total hip arthroplasty, often resulting in aseptic loosening of the implant, and a requirement for revision surgery. Wear-generated particular debris is the main cause of initiating this destructive process. The purpose of this article is to review recent advances in our understanding of how wear debris causes osteolysis, and emergent strategies for the avoidance and treatment of this disease. The most important cellular target for wear debris is the macrophage, which responds to particle challenge in two distinct ways, both of which contribute to increased bone resorption. First, it is well known that wear debris activates proinflammatory signaling, which leads to increased osteoclast recruitment and activation. More recently, it has been established that wear also inhibits the protective actions of antiosteoclastogenic cytokines such as interferon gamma, thus promoting differentiation of macrophages to bone-resorbing osteoclasts. Osteoblasts, fibroblasts, and possibly lymphocytes may also be involved in responses to wear. At a molecular level, wear particles activate MAP kinase cascades, NFkappaB and other transcription factors, and induce expression of suppressors of cytokine signaling. Strategies to reduce osteolysis by choosing bearing surface materials with reduced wear properties (such as metal-on-metal) should be balanced by awareness that reducing particle size may increase biological activity. Finally, although therapeutic agents against proinflammatory mediators [such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)] and osteoclasts (bisphosphonates and molecules blocking RANKL signaling) have shown promise in animal models, no approved treatments are yet available to osteolysis patients. Considerable efforts are underway to develop such therapies, and to identify novel targets for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Periprosthetic osteolysis is a major clinical problem that limits the long-term survival of total joint arthroplasties. Osteolysis is induced by implant-derived wear particles, primarily from the polyethylene bearing surfaces. This study examined two hypotheses. First, that similar mechanisms are responsible for osteolysis induced by polyethylene and titanium particles. Second, that lymphocytes do not play a major role in particle-induced osteolysis. To test these hypotheses, we used the murine calvarial model that we have previously used to examine titanium-induced osteolysis. Polyethylene particles rapidly induced osteolysis in the murine calvaria 5-7 days after implantation. The polyethylene-induced osteolysis was associated with large numbers of osteoclasts as well as the formation of a thick periosteal fibrous tissue layer with numerous macrophages containing phagocytosed polyethylene particles. Polyethylene-induced osteolysis was rapidly repaired and was undetectable by day 21 after implantation. Lymphocytes were noted in the fibrous layer of wild-type mice. However, the amount of osteolysis and cytokine production induced by polyethylene particles was not substantially affected by the lack of lymphocytes in Pfp/Rag2 double knock out mice. All of these findings are similar to our observations of osteolysis induced by titanium particles. These results provide strong support for both of our hypotheses: that similar mechanisms are responsible for osteolysis induced by polyethylene and titanium particles and that lymphocytes do not play a major role in particle-induced osteolysis.

Abstract
Total joint replacements of the hip and knee are generally highly successful, with satisfactory longevity and clinical results. Using modern biocompatible materials, optimal component design, and meticulous surgical technique, survivorship of cemented or cementless joint replacements is approximately 15 years with more than a 90% probability. The host's biologic response is critical to implant longevity. Particulate disease refers to the host's adverse biologic response to wear debris and byproducts generated from the prosthesis. Initially, emphasis was placed on particulate polymethylmethacrylate (cement disease), but more recently polyethylene wear debris has been underscored. Debris from several materials in sufficient quantities and physicochemical forms, however, can generate an inflammatory cascade resulting in periprosthetic bone destruction (osteolysis), jeopardizing long-term success of the implant.

Abstract
The metal stem of the totally replaced hip carries load and resists fatigue, but it is electrochemically corroded. Metallic atoms act as haptens, induce type 1 T-helper cells/Th1-type immune responses and enhance periprosthetic osteolysis. Stiff metal implants, which do not have the same elasticity as the surrounding bone, cause stress shielding. Cyclic loading and lack of ligamentous support lead to mechanical and ischemia reperfusion injury and particle formation from bone, polymethylmethacrylate, and porous implant surfaces, which accelerate third-body polyethylene wear. Surgical injury and micromotion induce the formation of a fibrous capsule interface. Type-B lining cells produce lubricin and surface-active phospholipids to promote solid-to-solid lubrication but may loosen the implant from bone. The pumping action of the cyclically loaded joint and synovial fluid pressure waves dissect the implant-host interface and transports polyethylene particles and pro-inflammatory mediators to the interface. Hyaluronan induces formation of a synovial lining like layer. Because of its localization close to bone, foreign body inflammation at the interface stimulates osteoclastogenesis and peri-implant bone loss. Metal-on-metal and ceramic-on-ceramic pairs might minimize third body wear, but can lead to high-impact load of the acetabulum. Diamond coating of a metal-on-polyethylene couple might solve both of these problems. The basic biomaterial solutions allow good mechanical performance and relatively long life in-service, but surface modifications (porous coating, hydroxyapatite, diamond, bioglass, and others) may facilitate performance of the implant and improve the biomaterial and body interfaces.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT The rationale for motion preservation by disc replacement after anterior cervical discectomy is to diminish long-term morbidity secondary to adjacent segment degeneration. However, these disc prostheses will be subject to wear and its possible adverse consequences. PURPOSE Assess the in vitro and in vivo wear properties of the Bryan Cervical Disc and the early clinical results. STUDY DESIGN In vitro mechanical testing, caprine animal model and prospective European human trial. OUTCOME MEASURE In vitro mechanical testing used American Society for Testing and Materials standards to measure wear rates and debris. Caprine results were analyzed by histopathologic analysis by a blinded veterinary pathologist. Clinical outcomes were measured by Odoms's criteria, independent radiologic analysis and Short Form-36. METHODS In vitro wear testing in cervical spine simulator for up to 40 M cycles. Wear rates were determined and particles analyzed microscopically. The in vivo inflammatory response was studied in goats that had discectomy at C4-C5. They were sacrificed between 3 and 12 months and histopathologically were compared with controls who had fusions with titanium plates. A prospective clinical trial of 136 patients with minimum 1-year follow-up was analyzed using validated questionnaires and radiographs. RESULTS In vitro wear averaged approximately 1.76% by weight at 10 M cycles and 18% at 40 M cycles. Wear debris were present in the periprosthetic tissues in 4 of 11 animals without inflammatory response. The early clinical results were satisfactory in over 90% of patients. CONCLUSION The in vivo and in vitro wear properties are satisfactory for the expected duration of life of the prosthesis. The early clinical results are satisfactory and equal to fusion.

Abstract
Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) wear particles have been recognized as the cause of aseptic loosening in total joint replacement. Macrophage phagocytosis of wear particles induces human biological/physiological responses which eventually lead to bone resorption and osteolysis. However, the dependence of these reactions on the size and shape of the particles has not been elucidated and is not understood. This article describes a procedure to generate narrowly distributed UHMWPE particles of controlled size and shape through surface texturing by microfabrication. The textured surface is then used to rub against the polymer pins to produce wear particles in water. The surface texture produces elongated particles or equiaxed particles by design. The distribution of the particles, due to the surface-texture control, is quite narrow as compared with randomly produced surfaces. With this technique, we are able to generate UHMWPE wear particles of different size and shape within phagocytosable and nonphagocytosable populations for biological response studies.

Abstract
Patients with long-term orthopedic implants may develop inflammatory reactions due to the accumulation of biomaterial particles both around the implant and in distant organs. The exact impact of these particles on the normal immune cell function still remain relatively unclear. Activation of T-cells following exposure to biomaterial particles is driven by macrophages and requires synergistic signals primed by both antigen presentation and costimulation. The pattern of costimulatory molecule expression (CD80,CD86) was primarily examined using immunohistochemistry on tissue specimens of bone/implant interface membranes taken from sites of bone erosion. Additionally, costimulatory molecule expression was also assessed in the monocytic leukemia cell line U937 following exposure to clinically relevant titanium aluminum vanadium (TiAlV) and stainless steel particles (FeCrNi) cultured in vitro. This study demonstrates the induction and prominent expression of CD86 on almost all macrophage subsets at the bone/implant interface, including fused forms and large multinucleated giant cells (MNGC). In vitro analysis also indicated phagocytosis of metal particles by differentiated U937 caused significant induction of both CD80 and CD86 (p < 0.01), although the expression of CD86 dominated following prolonged exposure. The data presented highlights that CD86 is the predominant costimulatory molecule ligating to the complementary CD28 molecule at the inflammatory lesion of the interface. We propose that the intracellular presence of indigestible implant material, in addition to elevated costimulatory molecule expression, may promote T-cell inflammatory reactions at sites close to and distant from the orthopedic implant.

Abstract
Alumina on alumina total hip arthroplasty has been in use for more than 25 years with encouraging results. However, an improvement of the alumina/bone interface still is required. The objective of this study was to investigate the in vitro and in vivo osteoconductive properties of sol-gel bioactive glass coated alumina implants. Two sol-gel glass compositions (58S Bioglass(R) and 77S Bioglass(R)) were used as coatings on alumina substrates and implanted in a rabbit model. The 58S sol-gel coating was employed in two configurations, single (A58S1) and double layer (A58S2). SEM analysis after one week in simulated body fluid revealed small crystals assumed to represent the initial phase of hydroxyapatite formation, whereas no clear conclusion could be drawn from Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy data. The percentage of bone in direct contact was greater for coated implants when compared to bulk alumina implants (p <0.001). In the case of A58S1 implants, bone percentage significantly increased from 45.1% after 3 weeks up to 87. 8% after 24 weeks of implantation (p = 0.0004). The presence of osteoid tissue, related to an aluminum release from the alumina substrates, was greatly diminished when compared to melt-derived glass-coated alumina implants.

Abstract
Aseptic loosening of acetabular components is a primary factor compromising the long-term outcome of cemented and cementless total hip replacement. It is unknown whether the pathogenesis of the loosening process is identical for both types of fixation. The specific aim of this study was to determine whether there is a difference in the cellular and cytokine profiles of interface membranes removed from between the implant and the host bone from failed cemented (n = 5) and failed cementless acetabulae (n = 5). Routine histology and immunohistochemical evaluations were completed on each tissue specimen. The monoclonal antibodies used included those specific for cell types (macrophages, fibroblasts, T lymphocytes) and for cytokines (IL-1beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha). The patients were all revised for loosening. The time to revision was significantly longer for the cemented group (16.6 yr; 13-21 range) than for the cementless group (8.9 yr; 4-13 range). In all cases, slides from each group stained positively for each of the cell types and cytokines evaluated. Immunohistochemical analyses indicated a predominance of macrophages and ubiquitous staining for the cytokines IL-1beta and TNF-alpha within the membranes of both patient groups. The intensities of cytokine staining were similar for both patient groups. More regions of fibroblastic connective tissue were observed surrounding failed cementless components as compared to those of the cemented group. The clinical ramification of our findings is that, despite differences in the cellular composition of the periprosthetic membranes, the membranes from failed cemented and cementless implants contain cytokines, which have been shown to be capable of modulating the inflammatory response. These inflammatory mediators are likely to play a significant role in the development of osteolysis and prosthetic loosening.

Abstract
Osteoclast progenitors differentiate into mature osteoclasts in the presence of receptor activator of NF-kappaB (RANK) ligand on stromal or osteoblastic cells and monocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). The soluble RANK ligand induces the same differentiation in vitro without stromal cells. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), a potent cytokine involved in the regulation of osteoclast activity, promotes bone resorption via a primary effect on osteoblasts; however, it remains unclear whether TNF-alpha can also directly induce the differentiation of osteoclast progenitors into mature osteoclasts. This study revealed that TNF-alpha directly induced the formation of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinucleated cells (MNCs), which produced resorption pits on bone in vitro in the presence of M-CSF. The bone resorption activity of TNF-alpha-induced MNCs was lower than that of soluble RANK ligand-induced MNCs; however, interleukin-1beta stimulated this activity of TNF-alpha-induced MNCs without an increase in the number of MNCs. In this case, interleukin-1beta did not induce TRAP-positive MNC formation. The osteoclast progenitors expressed TNF receptors, p55 and p75; and the induction of TRAP-positive MNCs by TNF-alpha was inhibited completely by an anti-p55 antibody and partially by an anti-p75 antibody. Our findings presented here are the first to indicate that TNF-alpha is a crucial differentiation factor for osteoclasts. Our results suggest that TNF-alpha and M-CSF play an important role in local osteolysis in chronic inflammatory diseases.
