Abstract
Magnesium alloys have achieved a good balance between biocompatibility and mechanical properties, and have great potential for clinical application, and their performance as implant materials has been continuously improved in recent years. However, a high degradation rate of Mg alloys in a physiological environment remains a major limitation before clinical application. In this review, according to the human body's intake of elements, the current mainstream implanted magnesium alloy system is classified and discussed, and the corrosion mechanism of magnesium alloy in vivo and in vitro is described, including general corrosion, localized corrosion, pitting corrosion, and degradation of body fluid environment impact etc. The introduction of methods to improve the mechanical properties and biocorrosion resistance of magnesium alloys is divided into two parts: the alloying part mainly discusses the strengthening mechanisms of alloying elements, including grain refinement strengthening, solid solution strengthening, dislocation strengthening and precipitation strengthening etc.; the surface modification part introduces the ideas and applications of novel materials with excellent properties such as graphene and biomimetic materials in the development of functional coatings. Finally, the existing problems are summarized, and the future development direction is prospected.

Production of WE43 magnesium alloy by powder metallurgy and the effect of glucose on wear resistance in biocorrosive wear. Biointerphases 2023; 18:2878718. [PMID: 37096903 DOI: 10.1116/6.0002270] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2022] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/19/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, WE43 magnesium alloy was produced by the powder metallurgy method. Microstructural analyses of the produced samples were carried out using the scanning electron microscopy method. X-ray fluorescence, energy dispersive x-ray (EDS) analysis, and hardness tests were also implemented to investigate the physical and chemical properties of the alloys. The volumetric hardness was measured to be approximately 53 HV. The microstructural analysis and EDS results indicated the presence of Mg24Y5 and Mg41Nd5 phases in the alloys. Reciprocating-type experiments were carried out in dry and corrosive environments to evaluate the wear resistance. Hanks’s solution containing 2% g/l glucose was used as the corrosive environment. Gluconic acid resulting from the oxidation of glucose in the Hanks’s solution formed a new thin layer on the alloy surface, which was observed in the worn surface images. The formation of the thin film on the alloy surface resulted in an increase in wear resistance by 37%. The results unraveled the potential of the WE43 alloys as implant materials in areas in contact with glucose.

Abstract
The biodegradation rate of Mg alloy medical devices, such as screws and plates for temporary bone fracture fixation or coronary angioplasty stents, is an increasingly important area of study.In vitromodels of the corrosion behavior of these devices use revised simulated body fluid (m-SBF) based on a healthy individual's blood chemistry. Therefore, model outputs have limited application to patients with altered blood plasma glucose or protein concentrations. This work studies the biodegradation behavior of Mg alloy WE43 in m-SBF modified with varying concentrations of glucose and bovine serum albumin (BSA) to (1) mimic a range of disease states and (2) determine the contributions of each biomolecule to corrosion. Measurements include the Mg ion release rate, electrolyte pH, the extent of hydrogen evolution (as a proxy for corrosion rate), surface morphology, and corrosion product composition and effects. BSA (0.1 g l-1) suppresses the rate of hydrogen evolution (about 30%) after 24 h and-to a lesser degree-Mg2+release in both the presence and absence of glucose. This effect gets more pronounced with time, possibly due to BSA adsorption on the Mg surface. Electrochemical studies confirm that adding glucose (2 g l-1) to the solution containing BSA (0.1 g l-1) caused a decrease in corrosion resistance (by around 40%), and concomitant increase in the hydrogen evolution rate (from 10.32 to 11.04 mg cm-2d-1) to levels far beyond the tolerance limits of live tissues.

Abstract
Magnesium is attractive for the application as a temporary bone implant due to its inherent biodegradability, non-toxicity and suitable mechanical properties. The degradation process of magnesium in physiological environments is complex and is thought to be a diffusion-limited transport problem. We use a multi-scale imaging approach using micro computed tomography and transmission X-ray microscopy (TXM) at resolutions below 40 nm. Thus, we are able to evaluate the nanoporosity of the degradation layer and infer its impact on the degradation process of pure magnesium in two physiological solutions. Magnesium samples were degraded in simulated body fluid (SBF) or Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) for one to four weeks. TXM reveals the three-dimensional interconnected pore network within the degradation layer for both solutions. The pore network morphology and degradation layer composition are similar for all samples. By contrast, the degradation layer thickness in samples degraded in SBF was significantly higher and more inhomogeneous than in DMEM+10%FBS. Distinct features could be observed within the degradation layer of samples degraded in SBF, suggesting the formation of microgalvanic cells, which are not present in samples degraded in DMEM+10%FBS. The results suggest that the nanoporosity of the degradation layer and the resulting ion diffusion processes therein have a limited influence on the overall degradation process. This indicates that the influence of organic components on the dampening of the degradation rate by the suppression of microgalvanic degradation is much greater in the present study.

Abstract
Zinc (Zn) and its alloys have received increasing attention as new alternative biodegradable metals. However, consensus has not been reached on the corrosion behaviour of Zn. As cardiovascular artery stent material, Zn is supposed to contact with plasma that contains inorganic salts and organic components. Protein is one of the most important constitute in the plasma and could adsorb on the material surface. In this paper, bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used as a typical protein. Influences of BSA on pure Zn corrosion in phosphate buffered saline is investigated as a function of BSA concentrations and immersion durations by electrochemical techniques and surface analysis. Results showed that pure Zn corrosion was progressively accelerated with BSA concentrations (ranging from 0.05 to 5 g L-1) at 0.5 h. With time evolves, formation of phosphates as corrosion product was delayed by BSA adsorption, especially at concentration of 2 g L-1. Within 48 h, the corrosion of pure Zn was alleviated by BSA at concentration of 0.1 g L-1, whereas the corrosion was enhanced after 168 h. Addition of 2 g L-1 BSA has opposite influence on the pure Zn corrosion. Furthermore, schematic corrosion behaviour at protein/Zn interfaces was proposed. This work encourages us to think more about the influence of protein on the material corrosion and helps us to better understand the corrosion behaviour of pure Zn.

Abstract
Although certified magnesium-based implants are launched some years ago, the not well-defined Mg degradation mechanism under physiological conditions makes it difficult to standardize its use as a degradable biomaterial for a wide range of implant applications. Among other variables influencing the Mg degradation mechanism, monitoring the pH in the corrosive solution and, especially, at the corroding interface is important due to its direct relation with the formation and stability of the degradation products layer. The interface pH (pH at the Mg/solution interface) developed on Mg-2Ag and E11 alloys are studied in situ during immersion under dynamic conditions (1.5 mL min-1 ) in HBSS with and without the physiological amount of Ca2+ cations (2.5 × 10-3 m). The results show that the precipitation/dissolution of amorphous phosphate-containing phases, that can be associated with apatitic calcium-phosphates Ca10- x (PO4 )6- x (HPO4 or CO3 )x (OH or ½ CO3 )2- x with 0 ≤ x ≤ 2 (Ap-CaP), promoted in the presence of Ca2+ generates an effective local pH buffering system at the surface. Thus, high alkalinization is prevented, and the interface pH is stabilized in the range of 7.6 to 8.5.

Abstract
Magnesium and its alloys are widely considered as temporary bio-implants owing to their mechanical properties and biocompatibility. However, the high corrosion rates and degradation in the physiological environment restrict the practical application of Mg as a biomedical device. Therefore, in this study, Zein/45S5 bioactive glass (BG) coatings were deposited via electrophoretic deposition (EPD) on pretreated pure magnesium (Mg) substrates, which controls the rapid degradation of magnesium. The set of EPD parameters was first optimized on stainless steel (SS) and then the optimum EPD parameters were applied to obtain zein/BG composite coatings on Mg substrates. The morphology of the obtained coatings was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). SEM results showed that both zein and BG were successfully deposited on the surface of the Mg substrate. Electrochemical measurements consisting of open circuit potential (OCP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and potentiodynamic polarization confirmed that the corrosion resistance of Mg improved after the deposition of zein/BG coatings. The in-vitro bioactivity study was carried out by immersing the zein/BG coatings in simulated body fluid for 3, 7, and 21 days. SEM, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results elucidated that the hydroxyapatite layer developed after 21 days of immersion in SBF, which confirmed the bone binding ability of the coatings.

Abstract
Biodegradable magnesium alloys are challenging to be implanted in patients with hyperglycemia and diabetes. A hypothesis is suggested that glucose accelerates microbial ingress and in vitro degradation of Mg-Li-Ca implants. Corrosion resistance and mechanical properties was demonstrated using electrochemical, hydrogen evolution and tensile tests. The bacteria from Hank's solution were isolated via 16S rRNA gene analysis. The results revealed that Mg-1Li-1Ca alloy exhibited different responses to Hank's solution with and without glucose. The solution acidity was ascribed to Microbacterium hominis and Enterobacter xiangfangensis, indicating that glucose promoted microbial activity and degradation and deterioration in mechanical property of Mg-1Li-1Ca alloy.

Abstract
Degradable biomaterials have emerged as a promising type of medical materials because of their unique advantages of biocompatibility, biodegradability and biosafety. Owing to their bioabsorbable and biocompatible properties, magnesium-based biomaterials are considered as ideal degradable medical implants. However, the rapid corrosion of magnesium-based materials not only limits their clinical application but also necessitates a more specific biological evaluation system and biosafety standard. In this study, extracts of pure Mg and its calcium alloy were prepared using different media based on ISO 10993:12; the Mg2+ concentration and osmolality of each extract were measured. The biocompatibility was investigated using the MTT assay and xCELLigence real-time cell analysis (RTCA). Cytotoxicity tests were conducted with L929, MG-63 and human umbilical vein endothelial cell lines. The results of the RTCA highly matched with those of the MTT assay and revealed the different dynamic modes of the cytotoxic process, which are related to the differences in the tested cell lines, Mg-based materials and dilution rates of extracts. This study provides an insight on the biocompatibility of biodegradable materials from the perspective of cytotoxic dynamics and suggests the applicability of RTCA for the cytotoxic evaluation of degradable biomaterials.

Abstract
Protein exerts a critical influence on the degradation behavior of absorbable magnesium (Mg)-based implants. However, the interaction mechanism between protein and a micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coating on Mg alloys remains unclear. Hereby, a MAO coating was fabricated on AZ31 Mg alloy. And its degradation behavior in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) containing bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated and compared with that of the uncoated alloy. Surface morphologies and chemical compositions were studied using Field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The degradation behavior of the bare Mg alloy and its MAO coating was studied through electrochemical and hydrogen evolution tests. Cytotoxicity assay was applied to evaluate the biocompatibility of Mg alloy substrate and MAO coating. Results indicated that the presence of BSA decreased the degradation rate of Mg alloy substrate because BSA (RCH(NH2)COO‾) molecules combined with Mg2+ ions to form (RCH(NH2)COO)2Mg and thus inhibited the dissolution of Mg(OH)2 by impeding the attack of Cl‾ ions. In the case of MAO coated Mg alloy, the adsorption of BSA on MAO coating and the formation of (RCH(NH2)COO)2Mg exhibited a synergistic effect and enhanced the corrosion resistance of the coated alloy significantly. Furthermore, cell bioactive assay suggested that the MAO coating had good viability for MG63 cells due to its high surface area. BSA reduces degradation of Mg substrate due to the formation of (RCH(NH2)COO)2Mg. BSA inhibits degradation of MAO coating by acting as a protective layer. MAO coating promotes cell proliferation due to higher surface area. Cells were rounded shaped on MAO coating owing to the rough surface.

[PMID: 32181417 PMCID: PMC7063336 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2020.02.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2020] [Revised: 02/22/2020] [Accepted: 02/23/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The biocorrosion of magnesium in the external physiological environment is still difficult to accurately evaluate the degradation behavior in vivo, particularly, in the microenvironment of the patients with hyperglycemia or diabetes. Thus, we explored the synergistic effects of glucose and protein on the biodegradation of pure magnesium, so as to have a deeper understanding the mechanism of the degradation in vivo. The surface morphology and corrosion product composition of pure magnesium were investigated using SEM, EDS, FTIR, XRD and XPS. The effect of glucose and albumin on the degradation rate of pure magnesium was investigated via electrochemical and immersion tests. The adsorption of glucose and albumin on the sample surface was observed using fluorescence microscopy. The results showed that the presence of 2 g/L glucose changed the micromorphology of corrosion products on the magnesium surface by reacting with metal cations, thus inhibiting the corrosion of pure magnesium. Protein formed a barrier layer to protect the magnesium at early stage of immersion. The chelation reaction between protein and magnesium surface might accelerate the degradation at later stage. There may be a critical glucose (albumin) content. Biodegradation of pure magnesium was inhibited at low concentrations and promoted at high concentrations. The synergistic effect of glucose and protein restrained the adsorption of aggressive chloride ions to a certain extent, and thus inhibited the degradation of pure magnesium considerably. Moreover, XPS results indicated that glucose promoted the adsorption of protein on the sample surface.

Evolution of Recrystallized Grain and Texture of Cold-Drawn Pure Mg Wire and Their Effect on Mechanical Properties. MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13020427. [PMID: 31963270 PMCID: PMC7014322 DOI: 10.3390/ma13020427] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2019] [Revised: 01/13/2020] [Accepted: 01/14/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Static recrystallization plays a key role in the fabrication of thin Mg wires as well as the mechanical properties of the final wires. The effect of annealing parameters on the evolution of the microstructures, textures and mechanical properties of cold-drawn pure Mg wire was studied by means of optical microscopy (OM), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), a tensile test and a hardness test. This study shows that the mechanical properties of as-annealed pure thin Mg wire is affected not only by the average grain size, but also the uniformity of the recrystallization grains, including the uniformity of grain size and crystal orientation distribution (more random texture component). With increasing annealing temperature and time, the uniformity of recrystallization grain size first improved and then declined after obvious grain growth. At the same time, the randomness of the basal texture component declined with the development of recrystallization. Annealing at 300 °C for 30 min caused the most uniform grain size and orientation distribution in the microstructures, thus contributing to the best plasticity among all experimental wires. It is reasonable to conclude that more uniform and regular recrystallized grains and a more randomly distributed crystal orientation would be benefit for the mechanical properties of Mg wires.

Abstract
Deeply exploring the interaction of biomolecules with magnesium in solution is essential to understand the formation of complex bio-magnesium interfaces accompanied with corrosion products. Using the accelerated metadynamics simulations, we have investigated the interactions of amino acid analogues on clean and hydroxylated Mg(0001) surfaces by identifying their free energy barriers and adsorption sites. We find that there are two hydration layers stacked on the clean Mg(0001) surfaces and the hydroxylated Mg(0001) surfaces, which mainly determine the free energy barriers and adsorbed configurations. Further studies reveal that the water molecules in double hydration layers present two opposite orientations, depending on the charge distribution of the substrate. Specifically, oxygen atoms of water concentrate in the center of double hydration layers for a clean Mg surface but transfer to the outside surface once the Mg substrate is degraded. The reversed hydration layers greatly reduce the binding affinities of positively charged and electroneutral analogues. Overall, our simulation findings provide new insights into the interaction mechanism of biomolecules on a bio-magnesium device in the implantation initial stage, which is noteworthy for revealing the magnesium degradation mechanism in vivo.

Corrosion resistance and antibacterial activity of zinc-loaded montmorillonite coatings on biodegradable magnesium alloy AZ31. Acta Biomater 2019; 98:196-214. [PMID: 31154057 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2019.05.069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 85] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2018] [Revised: 05/21/2019] [Accepted: 05/28/2019] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
A Zinc-loaded montmorillonite (Zn-MMT) coating was hydrothermally prepared using Zn2+ ion intercalated sodium montmorillonite (Na-MMT) upon magnesium (Mg) alloy AZ31 as bone repairing materials. Biodegradation rate of the Mg-based materials was studied via potentiodynamic polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and hydrogen evolution tests. Results revealed that both Na-MMT and Zn-MMT coatings exhibited better corrosion resistance in Dulbecco's modified eagle medium (DMEM) + 10% calf serum (CS) than bare Mg alloy AZ31 counterparts. Hemolysis results demonstrated that hemocompatibility of the Na-MMT and Zn-MMT coatings were 5%, and lower than that of uncoated Mg alloy AZ31 pieces. In vitro MTT tests and live-dead stain of osteoblast cells (MC3T3-E1) indicated a significant improvement in cytocompatibility of both Na-MMT and Zn-MMT coatings. Antibacterial properties of two representative bacterial strains associated with device-related infection, i.e. Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), were employed to explore the antibacterial behavior of the coatings. The measured inhibitory zone and bacterial growth rate confirmed that Zn-MMT coatings exhibited higher suppression toward both E. coli and S. aureus than that of Na-MMT coatings. The investigation on antibacterial mechanism through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay manifested that Zn-MMT coating led to severe breakage of bacterial membrane of E. coli and S. aureus, which resulted in a release of cytoplasmic materials from the bacterial cells. In addition, the good inhibition of Zn-MMT coatings against E. coli and S. aureus might be attributed to the slow but sustainable release of Zn2+ ions (up to 144 h) from the coatings into the culture media. This study provides a novel coating strategy for manufacturing biodegradable Mg alloys with good corrosion resistance, biocompatibility and antibacterial activity for future orthopedic applications. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The significance of the current work is to develop a corrosion-resistant and antibacterial Zn-MMT coating on magnesium alloy AZ31 through a hydrothermal method. The Zn-MMT coating on magnesium alloy AZ31 shows better corrosion resistance, biocompatibility and excellent antibacterial ability than magnesium alloy AZ31. This study provides a novel coating on Mg alloys for future orthopedic applications.

In vitro corrosion of pure Mg in phosphate buffer solution-Influences of isoelectric point and molecular structure of amino acids. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING.

Abstract
Influences of proteins on degradation of magnesium alloys are of great significance but not well understood. In particular the roles of amino acids, the basic unit of proteins in regulating the progress of biodegradation of magnesium based materials remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the impacts of alanine, glutamic acid and lysine on degradation of pure magnesium in phosphate buffer solution through SEM, XPS, FTIR, potentiodynamic polarisation curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and immersion tests. The changed contents of amino acids in solutions were detected by UV-vis spectrophotometer. Results demonstrate that the charges of the selected amino acids imposed significant contribution to suppressing the degradation of pure magnesium in phosphate buffer solution. The presence of amino acids led to the formation of phosphate-based corrosion products, increasing free corrosion potential, and reduction in corrosion current density and solution pH depending on their isoelectric points and molecular structures. A plausible corrosion mechanism organised by amino acids on pure magnesium was proposed.

Abstract
We performed multiple-pass cold drawing for pure Mg wire which showed excellent formability (~138% accumulative true strain) at room temperature. Different from the continuous work hardening occurring during cold drawing of Mg alloy wires, for pure Mg, an initially rapid increase in hardness and strength was followed by significant work softening and finally reached a steady-state level, approximately 40~45 HV. The work softening can be attributed to the dynamic recovery and recrystallization of pure Mg at room temperature. Meanwhile, an abrupt change in texture component also was detected with the transition from work hardening to softening in the strain range of 28~34%. During the whole drawing, the strongest texture component gradually transformed from as-extruded basal to <101¯0> fiber (~28% accumulative true strain), and then rapidly returned to the weak basal texture.

Abstract
This review focusses on the application of physiological conditions for the mechanistic understanding of magnesium degradation. Despite the undisputed relevance of simplified laboratory setups for alloy screening purposes, realistic and predictive in vitro setups are needed. Due to the complexity of these systems, the review gives an overview about technical measures, defines some caveats and can be used as a guideline for the establishment of harmonized laboratory approaches. Physiological conditions are mandatory for mechanistic understanding of magnesium degradation. Guidelines and caveats for experimental setups are reviewed. Media composition is essential for reliable experiments.
