Anti-Microbial Drug Metronidazole Promotes Fracture Healing: Enhancement in the Bone Regenerative Efficacy of the Drug by a Biodegradable Sustained-Release In Situ Gel Formulation.

Abstract
Nitroimidazoles comprise a class of broad-spectrum anti-microbial drugs with efficacy against parasites, mycobacteria, and anaerobic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Among these drugs, metronidazole (MTZ) is commonly used with other antibiotics to prevent infection in open fractures. However, the effect of MTZ on bone remains understudied. In this paper, we evaluated six nitroimidazole drugs for their impact on osteoblast differentiation and identified MTZ as having the highest osteogenic effect. MTZ enhanced bone regeneration at the femur osteotomy site in osteopenic ovariectomized (OVX) rats at the human equivalent dose. Moreover, in OVX rats, MTZ significantly improved bone mass and strength and improved microarchitecture compared to the vehicle-treated rats, which was likely achieved by an osteogenic mechanism attributed to the stimulation of the Wnt pathway in osteoblasts. To mitigate the reported neurological and genotoxic effects of MTZ, we designed an injectable sustained-release in situ gel formulation of the drug that improved fracture healing efficacy by 3.5-fold compared to oral administration. This enhanced potency was achieved through a significant increase in the circulating half-life and bioavailability of MTZ. We conclude that MTZ exhibits osteogenic effects, further accentuated by our sustained-release delivery system, which holds promise for enhancing bone regeneration in open fractures.

J Funct Biomater 2023; 14:305. [PMID: 37367268 DOI: 10.3390/jfb14060305] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Revised: 05/26/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Bone defects and infections pose significant challenges for treatment, requiring a comprehensive approach for prevention and treatment. Thus, this study sought to evaluate the efficacy of various bone allografts in the absorption and release of antibiotics. A specially designed high-absorbency, high-surface-area carrier graft composed of human demineralized cortical fibers and granulated cancellous bone (fibrous graft) was compared to different human bone allograft types. The groups tested here were three fibrous grafts with rehydration rates of 2.7, 4, and 8 mL/g (F(2.7), F(4), and F(8)); demineralized bone matrix (DBM); cortical granules; mineralized cancellous bone; and demineralized cancellous bone. The absorption capacity of the bone grafts was assessed after rehydration, the duration of absorption varied from 5 to 30 min, and the elution kinetics of gentamicin were determined over 21 days. Furthermore, antimicrobial activity was assessed using a zone of inhibition (ZOI) test with S. aureus. The fibrous grafts exhibited the greatest tissue matrix absorption capacity, while the mineralized cancellous bone revealed the lowest matrix-bound absorption capacity. For F(2.7) and F(4), a greater elution of gentamicin was observed from 4 h and continuously over the first 3 days when compared to the other grafts. Release kinetics were only marginally affected by the varied incubation times. The enhanced absorption capacity of the fibrous grafts resulted in a prolonged antibiotic release and activity. Therefore, fibrous grafts can serve as suitable carrier grafts, as they are able to retain fluids such as antibiotics at their intended destinations, are easy to handle, and allow for a prolonged antibiotic release. Application of these fibrous grafts can enable surgeons to provide longer courses of antibiotic administration for septic orthopedic indications, thus minimizing infections.

Abstract
Artificial prostheses for joint replacement are indispensable in orthopedic surgery. Unfortunately, the implanted surface is attractive to not only host cells but also bacteria. To enable better osteointegration, a mechanically stable porous structure was created on a titanium surface using laser treatment and metallic silver particles were embedded in a hydrophilic titanium oxide layer on top. The laser structuring resulted in unique amphora-shaped pores. Due to their hydrophilic surface conditions and capillary forces, the pores can be loaded preoperative with the antibiotic of choice/need, such as gentamicin. Cytotoxicity and differentiation assays with primary human osteoblast-like cells revealed no negative effect of the surface modification with or without gentamicin loading. An in vivo biocompatibility study showed significantly enhanced osteointegration as measured by push-out testing and histomorphometry 56 days after the implantation of the K-wires into rat femora. Using a S. aureus infection model, the porous, silver-coated K-wires slightly reduced the signs of bone destruction, while the wires were still colonized after 28 days. Loading the amphora-shaped pores with gentamicin significantly reduced the histopathological signs of bone destruction and no bacteria were detected on the wires. Taken together, this novel surface modification can be applied to new or established orthopedic implants. It enables preoperative loading with the antibiotic of choice/need without further equipment or post-coating, and supports osteointegration without a negative effect of the released dug, such as gentamicin.

Abstract
Bone infections following open bone fracture or implant surgery remain a challenge in the orthopedics field. In order to avoid high doses of systemic drug administration, optimized local antibiotic release from scaffolds is required. 3D additive manufactured (AM) scaffolds made with biodegradable polymers are ideal to support bone healing in non-union scenarios and can be given antimicrobial properties by the incorporation of antibiotics. In this study, ciprofloxacin and gentamicin intercalated in the interlamellar spaces of magnesium aluminum layered double hydroxides (MgAl) and α-zirconium phosphates (ZrP), respectively, are dispersed within a thermoplastic polymer by melt compounding and subsequently processed via high temperature melt extrusion AM (~190 °C) into 3D scaffolds. The inorganic fillers enable a sustained antibiotics release through the polymer matrix, controlled by antibiotics counterions exchange or pH conditions. Importantly, both antibiotics retain their functionality after the manufacturing process at high temperatures, as verified by their activity against both Gram + and Gram - bacterial strains. Moreover, scaffolds loaded with filler-antibiotic do not impair human mesenchymal stromal cells osteogenic differentiation, allowing matrix mineralization and the expression of relevant osteogenic markers. Overall, these results suggest the possibility of fabricating dual functionality 3D scaffolds via high temperature melt extrusion for bone regeneration and infection prevention.

Abstract
The need for bone grafts is tremendous, and that leads to the use of autograft, allograft, and bone graft substitutes. The biology of the bone is quite complex regarding cellular composition and architecture, hence developing a mineralized connective tissue graft is challenging. Traditionally used bone graft substitutes including metals, biomaterial coated metals and biodegradable scaffolds, suffer from persistent limitations. With the advent and rise of additive manufacturing technologies, the future of repairing bone trauma and defects seems to be optimistic. 3D printing has significant advantages, the foremost of all being faster manipulation of various biocompatible materials and live cells or tissues into the complex natural geometries necessary to mimic and stimulate cellular bone growth. The advent of new-generation bioprinters working with high-precision, micro-dispensing and direct digital manufacturing is aiding in ground-breaking organ and tissue printing, including the bone. The future bone replacement for patients holds excellent promise as scientists are moving closer to the generation of better 3D printed bio-bone grafts that will be safer and more effective. This review aims to summarize the advances in scaffold fabrication techniques, emphasizing 3D printing of biomimetic bone grafts.

Burst Release of Antibiotics Combined with Long-Term Release of Silver Targeting Implant-Associated Infections: Design, Characterization and in vitro Evaluation of Novel Implant Hybrid Surface.

Abstract
Implant-associated infections represent a serious risk in human medicine and can lead to complications, revisions and in worst cases, amputations. To target these risks, the objective was to design a hybrid implant surface that allows a local burst release of antibiotics combined with long-term antimicrobial activity based on silver. The efficacy should be generated with simultaneous in vitro cytocompatibility. The investigations were performed on titanium K-wires and plates and gentamicin was selected as an illustrative antibiotic. A gentamicin depot (max 553 µg/cm2) was created on the surface using laser structuring. The antibiotic was released within 15 min in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) or agar medium. Metallic silver particles (4 µg/cm2) in a titanium dioxide layer were deposited using plasma vapor deposition (PVD). About 16% of the silver was released within 28 days in the agar medium. The local efficacy of the incorporated silver was demonstrated in a direct contact assay with a reduction of more than 99.99% (Escherichia coli). The local efficacy of the hybrid surface was confirmed in a zone of inhibition (ZOI) assay using Staphylococcus cohnii. The biocompatibility of the hybrid surface was proven using fibroblasts and osteoblasts as cell systems. The hybrid surface design seems to be promising as treatment of implant-associated infections, considering the achieved amount and release behavior of the active ingredients (gentamicin, silver). The generated in vitro results (efficacy, biocompatibility) proofed the concept. Further in vivo studies will be necessary translate the hybrid surface towards clinical applied research.

Abstract
PURPOSE The effects of resveratrol administration on calvarial bone defects with alloplastic graft material was investigated for osteoinductive reaction and bone development in rats. METHODS Healthy male rats were randomly divided into 3 groups consisting of 10 rats. Groups were as follows: control (defect) group, defect + graft group, and defect + graft + resveratrol group. A calvarial bone defect was created in all groups, alloplastic bone grafts were applied to the defect in the 2nd and 3rd group, resveratrol (5 mg/kg/day) was added to the drinking water of the animals following graft application for 28 days in the 3rd group. RESULTS Increase in osteoclasts and necrotic changes were observed histopathologically in the control group. In the 2nd group, reduction of inflammation, congestion of blood vessels, increased osteblastic activity, osteoinductive effect, progression of osteocyte development and increased collagen fibers in connective tissue were observed. In the 3rd group, osteoblasts seemed to secrete bone matrix and accelerate osteoinductive effect with increased osteopregenitor activity and positive osteopontin and osteonectin expressions. CONCLUSION Resveratrol treatment was thought to be an alternative and supportive drug for implant application by inducing new bone formation in the calvaral defect region as a result of short-term treatment.
