Abstract
Cancer has a devastating impact globally regardless of gender, age, and community, which continues its severity to the population due to the lack of efficient strategy for the cancer diagnosis and treatment. According to the World Health Organisation report, one out of six people dies due to this deadly cancer and we need effective strategies to regulate it. In this context, trace element has a very hidden and unexplored role and require more attention from investigators. The variation in concentration of trace elements was observed during comparative studies on a cancer patient and a healthy person making them an effective target for cancer regulation. The percentage of trace elements present in the human body depends on environmental exposure, food habits, and habitats and could be instrumental in the early diagnosis of cancer. In this review, we have conducted inclusive analytics on trace elements associated with the various types of cancers and explored the several methods involved in their analysis. Further, intricacies in the correlation of trace elements with prominent cancers like prostate cancer, breast cancer, and leukaemia are represented in this review. This comprehensive information on trace elements proposes their role during cancer and as biomarkers in cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Bone defect repair and postoperative infections are among the most challenging issues faced by orthopedic surgeons. Thus, the antibacterial agent Cu and the osteogenic promoter Sr have been widely incorporated into biodegradable alloys separately. However, to the best of our knowledge, the synergistic effects of Cu and Sr on zinc alloys have not been investigated. Therefore, we have developed a series of novel Zn-4Cu-xSr (x = 0.05, 0.1, and 0.3 wt %) alloys. Our results showed that the addition of Cu and Sr significantly increased the strength of pure zinc while maintaining a certain level of ductility. Plastic deformation further enhanced the strength and ductility of the alloys. The tensile strength of HR Zn-4Cu-xSr alloys remains between 233.34 ± 1.31 MPa and 235.81 ± 3.0 MPa, with elongation values ranging from 45.7 ± 1.56% to 49.6 ± 6.22%. The HE Zn-4Cu-0.05Sr alloy exhibits a high elongation of 95.05 ± 11.1%. Furthermore, the HE Zn-4Cu-0.1Sr alloy demonstrates the best overall mechanical performance with ultimate tensile strength (σuts), yield strength (σys), and elongation (ε) values of 252.73 ± 0.12 MPa, 181.0 ± 0.79 MPa, and 42.8 ± 1.13%, respectively. The corrosion rate of HE Zn-4Cu-xSr alloys increases with an increase in Sr content. All samples exhibit satisfactory cytocompatibility with the cells displaying a healthy spindle-like morphology. In vitro antibacterial tests show that the HE Zn-4Cu-xSr alloys exhibit significant antibacterial effects against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli), with the antibacterial properties strengthening as the Sr content increases. Therefore, this study demonstrates the tremendous potential application of Zn-4Cu-xSr alloys in biodegradable zinc alloys for bone fracture fixation and repair.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses (BGs) have attracted significant attention in the biomaterials field due to their ability to promote soft and hard tissue regeneration and their potential for various clinical applications. BGs offer enriched features through the integration of different therapeutic inorganic ions within their composition. These ions can trigger specific responses in the body conducive to a battery of applications. For example, zinc, a vital trace element, plays a role in numerous physiological processes within the human body. By incorporating zinc, BGs can inhibit bacterial growth, exert anti-inflammatory effects, and modify bioactivity, promoting better integration with surrounding tissues when used in scaffolds for tissue regeneration. This article reviews recent developments in zinc-containing BGs (ZBGs), focusing on their synthesis, physicochemical, and biological properties. ZBGs represent a significant advancement in applications extending beyond bone regeneration. Overall, their biological roles hold promise for various applications, such as bone tissue engineering, wound healing, and biomedical coatings. Ongoing research continues to explore the potential benefits of ZBGs and to optimize their properties for diverse clinical applications.

Abstract
Bioactive metal-based nanostructures, particularly zinc oxide (ZnO), are promising materials for bone tissue engineering. However, integrating them into 3D-printed polymers using traditional blending methods reduces the cell performance. Alternative surface deposition techniques often require extreme conditions that are unsuitable for polymers. To address these issues, we propose a metal-assisted hydrothermal synthesis method to modify 3D printed polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds with ZnO nanoparticles (NPs), facilitating the growth of ZnO nanoarrays (NAs) at a low-temperature (55 °C). Physicochemical characterizations revealed that the ZnO NPs form both physical and chemical bonds with the PCL surface; chemical bonding occurs between the carboxylate groups of PCL and Zn(OH)2 during seed deposition and hydrothermal synthesis. The ZnO NPs and NAs grown for a longer time (18 h) on the surface of PCL scaffolds exhibit significant proliferation and early differentiation of osteoblast-like cells. The proposed method is suitable for the surface modification of thermally degradable polymers, opening up new possibilities for the deposition of diverse metals.

Abstract
The therapeutic potential of natural medicines in treating bone disorders is well-established. Modifications in formulation or molecular structure can enhance their efficacy. Gingerol, an osteogenic active compound derived from ginger roots (Zingiber officinale), can form metal ion complexes. Zinc (Zn), a trace element that combats bacterial infections and promotes osteoblast proliferation, can be complexed with gingerol to form a G-Zn+2 complex. This study investigates a porous 3D-printed (3DP) calcium phosphate (CaP) scaffold loaded with the G-Zn+2 complex for drug release and cellular interactions. The scaffold is coated with polycaprolactone (PCL) to control the drug release. Diffusion-mediated kinetics results in 50% release of the G-Zn+2 complex over 6 weeks. The G-Zn+2 complex demonstrates cytotoxicity against MG-63 osteosarcoma cells, indicated by the formation of apoptotic bodies and ruptured cell morphology on the scaffolds. G-Zn+2 PCL-coated scaffolds show a 1.2 ± 0.1-fold increase in osteoblast cell viability, and an 11.6 ± 0.5% increase in alkaline phosphatase compared to untreated scaffolds. Treated scaffolds also exhibit reduced bacterial colonization against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, highlighting the antibacterial potential of the G-Zn+2 complex. The functionalized 3DP CaP scaffold with the G-Zn+2 complex shows significant potential for enhancing bone regeneration and preventing infections in low-load-bearing applications.

Abstract
Human Maxillary Sinus Membrane Stem Cells (hMSMSCs) contribute significantly to bone formation following maxillary sinus floor augmentation (MSFA). The biological behavior of mesenchymal stem cells is notably influenced by varying concentrations of magnesium (Mg2+), strontium (Sr2+), and zinc (Zn2+) ions; however, their specific effects on hMSMSCs have not been comprehensively studied. We isolated hMSMSCs and identified their mesenchymal stem cell characteristics by flow cytometry and multilineage differentiation experiments. Subsequently, the hMSMSCs were cultured in media containing different concentrations of these metal ions. The proliferation and viability of hMSMSCs were assessed using CCK-8 and Calcein AM/PI staining. After osteogenic induction, cells were evaluated for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, ALP staining, and Alizarin Red staining. Additionally, qRT-PCR was used to detect differences in osteogenic gene expression, and immunofluorescence staining was used to observe variations in OCN protein levels. The results indicated that 1 mM Mg2+, 0.01 mM Sr2+, and 0.001 mM Zn2+ significantly improved the proliferation and activity of hMSMSCs. These concentrations also notably enhanced ALP secretion, increased bone-related gene expression, and augmented osteocalcin expression and formation of extracellular calcium nodules, thereby improving osteogenic differentiation. However, higher concentrations of Mg2+, Sr2+, and Zn2+ decreased cell viability and osteogenic differentiation. Mg2+, Sr2+, and Zn2+ promote osteogenic differentiation and proliferation of hMSMSCs in a concentration-dependent manner, indicating that the type and concentration of ions in the extracellular environment can significantly alter hMSMSCs behavior, which is a crucial consideration for material design in maxillary sinus elevation applications.

Abstract
This study used the dip-coating method to develop a new biocompatible coating composed of polylactide (PLA) and casein for ZnMg1.2 wt% alloy implants. It evaluated its impact on the alloy's degradation in a simulated body fluid. After 168 h of immersion in Ringer's solution, surface morphology analysis showed that the PLA-casein coatings demonstrated uniform degradation, with the corrosion current density measured at 48 µA/cm2. Contact angle measurements indicated that the average contact angles for the PLA-casein-coated samples were below 80°, signifying a hydrophilic nature that promotes cell adhesion. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed no presence of lactic acid on PLA-casein coatings after immersion, in contrast to pure PLA coatings. Pull-off adhesion tests showed tensile strength values of 7.6 MPa for pure PLA coatings and 5 MPa for PLA-casein coatings. Electrochemical tests further supported the favorable corrosion resistance of the PLA-casein coatings, highlighting their potential to reduce tissue inflammation and improve the biocompatibility of ZnMg1.2 wt% alloy implants.

Abstract
Large bone defects resulting from fractures and diseases have become a significant medical concern, usually impeding spontaneous healing through the body's self-repair mechanism. Calcium phosphate (CaP) bioceramics are widely utilized for bone regeneration, owing to their exceptional biocompatibility and osteoconductivity. However, their bioactivities in repairing healing-impaired bone defects characterized by conditions such as ischemia and infection remain limited. Recently, an emerging bioceramics zinc-strontium phosphate (ZSP, Zn2Sr(PO4)2) has received increasing attention due to its remarkable antibacterial and angiogenic abilities, while its plausible biomedical utility on tissue regeneration is nonetheless few. In this study, gallic acid-grafted gelatin (GGA) with antioxidant properties was injected into hydrogels to scavenge reactive oxygen species and regulate bone microenvironment while simultaneously incorporating ZSP to form GGA-ZSP hydrogels. The GGA-ZSP hydrogel exhibits low swelling, and in vitro cell experiments have demonstrated its favorable biocompatibility, osteogenic induction potential, and ability to promote vascular regeneration. In an in vivo bone defect model, the GGA-ZSP hydrogel significantly enhanced the bone regeneration rates. This study demonstrated that the GGA-ZSP hydrogel has pretty environmentally friendly therapeutic effects in osteogenic differentiation and massive bone defect repair.

Abstract
Exposure to heavy metals and lifestyle factors like smoking contribute to the production of free oxygen radicals. This fact, combined with a lowered total antioxidant status, can induce even more damage in the development of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Despite the fact that some researchers are looking for more genetic factors underlying AS, most studies focus on polymorphisms within the genes encoding the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system. The biggest challenge is finding the effective treatment of the disease. Genetic factors and the influence of oxidative stress, mineral metabolism disorders, microbiota, and tobacco smoking seem to be of great importance for the development of AS. The data contained in this review constitute valuable information and encourage the initiation and development of research in this area, showing connections between inflammatory disorders leading to the pathogenesis of AS and selected environmental and genetic factors.

Abstract
Mg-based biodegradable metallic implants are gaining increased attraction for applications in orthopedics and dentistry. However, their current applications are hampered by their high rate of corrosion, degradation, and rapid release of ions and gas bubbles into the physiological medium. The aim of the present study is to investigate the osteogenic and angiogenic potential of coated Mg-based implants in a sheep cranial defect model. Although their osteogenic potential was studied to some extent, their potential to regenerate vascularized bone formation was not studied in detail. We have studied the potential of magnesium-calcium (MgCa)-based alloys modified with zinc (Zn)- or gallium (Ga)-doped calcium phosphate (CaP) coatings as a strategy to control their degradation rate while enhancing bone regeneration capacity. MgCa and its implants with CaP coatings (MgCa/CaP) as undoped or as doped with Zn or Ga (MgCa/CaP + Zn and MgCa/CaP + Ga, respectively) were implanted in bone defects created in the sheep cranium. MgCa implants degraded faster than the others at 4 weeks postop and the weight loss was ca. 50%, while it was ca. 15% for MgCa/CaP and <10% in the presence of Zn and Ga with CaP coating. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of the implant surfaces also revealed that the MgCa implants had the largest degree of structural breakdown of all the groups. Radiological evaluation revealed that surface modification with CaP to the MgCa implants induced better bone regeneration within the defects as well as the enhancement of bone-implant surface integration. Bone volume (%) within the defect was ca. 25% in the case of MgCa/CaP + Ga, while it was around 15% for undoped MgCa group upon micro-CT evaluation. This >1.5-fold increase in bone regeneration for MgCa/CaP + Ga implant was also observed in the histopathological examination of the H&E- and Masson's trichrome-stained sections. Immunohistochemical analysis of the bone regeneration (antiosteopontin) and neovascularization (anti-CD31) at the defect sites revealed >2-fold increase in the expression of the markers in both Ga- and Zn-doped, CaP-coated implants. Zn-doped implants further presented low inflammatory reaction, notable bone regeneration, and neovascularization among all the implant groups. These findings indicated that Ga- and Zn-doped CaP coating is an important strategy to control the degradation rate as well as to achieve enhanced bone regeneration capacity of the implants made of Mg-based alloys.

Mimicking the mechanical properties of cortical bone with an additively manufactured biodegradable Zn-3Mg alloy. Acta Biomater 2024; 182:139-155. [PMID: 38750914 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.05.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2023] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
Additively manufactured (AM) biodegradable zinc (Zn) alloys have recently emerged as promising porous bone-substituting materials, due to their moderate degradation rates, good biocompatibility, geometrically ordered microarchitectures, and bone-mimicking mechanical properties. While AM Zn alloy porous scaffolds mimicking the mechanical properties of trabecular bone have been previously reported, mimicking the mechanical properties of cortical bone remains a formidable challenge. To overcome this challenge, we developed the AM Zn-3Mg alloy. We used laser powder bed fusion to process Zn-3Mg and compared it with pure Zn. The AM Zn-3Mg alloy exhibited significantly refined grains and a unique microstructure with interlaced α-Zn/Mg2Zn11 phases. The compressive properties of the solid Zn-3Mg specimens greatly exceeded their tensile properties, with a compressive yield strength of up to 601 MPa and an ultimate strain of >60 %. We then designed and fabricated functionally graded porous structures with a solid core and achieved cortical bone-mimicking mechanical properties, including a compressive yield strength of >120 MPa and an elastic modulus of ≈20 GPa. The biodegradation rates of the Zn-3Mg specimens were lower than those of pure Zn and could be adjusted by tuning the AM process parameters. The Zn-3Mg specimens also exhibited improved biocompatibility as compared to pure Zn, including higher metabolic activity and enhanced osteogenic behavior of MC3T3 cells cultured with the extracts from the Zn-3Mg alloy specimens. Altogether, these results marked major progress in developing AM porous biodegradable metallic bone substitutes, which paved the way toward clinical adoption of Zn-based scaffolds for the treatment of load-bearing bony defects. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Our study presents a significant advancement in the realm of biodegradable metallic bone substitutes through the development of an additively manufactured Zn-3Mg alloy. This novel alloy showcases refined grains and a distinctive microstructure, enabling the fabrication of functionally graded porous structures with mechanical properties resembling cortical bone. The achieved compressive yield strength and elastic modulus signify a critical leap toward mimicking the mechanical behavior of load-bearing bone. Moreover, our findings reveal tunable biodegradation rates and enhanced biocompatibility compared to pure Zn, emphasizing the potential clinical utility of Zn-based scaffolds for treating load-bearing bony defects. This breakthrough opens doors for the wider adoption of zinc-based materials in regenerative orthopedics.

Abstract
In recent years, metallic ion-doped magnesium phosphate (MgP)-based degradable bioceramics have emerged as alternative bone substitute materials owing to their excellent biocompatibility, bone-forming ability, bioactivity, and controlled degradability. Conversely, incorporating a biomolecule such as decellularized platelet-rich fibrin (d-PRF) on scaffolds has certain advantages for bone tissue regeneration, particularly in enhanced osteogenesis and angiogenesis. The present study focuses on the impact of d-PRF-loaded multiscale porous zinc-doped magnesium phosphate (Zn-MgP) scaffolds on biodegradability, biocompatibility, and bone regeneration. Scaffolds were fabricated through the powder-metallurgy route utilizing naphthalene as a porogen (porosity = 5-43%). With the inclusion of a higher porogen, a higher fraction of macro-porosity (>20 μm) and pore interconnectivity were observed. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies confirmed the formation of the farringtonite phase. The developed scaffolds exhibited a minimum ultimate compressive strength (UCS) of 8.5 MPa (for 40 Naph), which lies within the range of UCS of the cancellous bone of humans (2-12 MPa). The in vitro assessment via immersion in physiological fluid yielded a higher deposition of the calcium phosphate (CaP) compound in response to increased macro-porosity and interconnectivity (40 Naph). Cytocompatibility assessed using MC3T3-E1 cells showed that the incorporation of d-PRF coupled with increased porosity resulted the highest cell attachment, proliferation, and viability. For further evaluation, the developed scaffolds were implanted in in vivo rabbit femur condylar defects. Radiography, SEM, OTC labelling, and histology analysis after 2 months of implantation revealed the better invasion of mature osteoblastic cells into the scaffolds with enhanced angiogenesis and superior and accelerated healing of bone defects in d-PRF-incorporated higher porosity scaffolds (40 Naph). Finally, it is hypothesized that the combination of d-PRF incorporation with multiscale porosity and increased interconnectivity facilitated better bone-forming ability, good biocompatibility, and controlled degradability within and around the Zn-doped MgP scaffolds.

Abstract
Introduction Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease characterized by loss of bone mass, reduced bone strength and increased bone fragility predisposing to fractures. This study was planned to evaluate the efficacy, safety and relative bioavailability of Microcore NESC® (Natural Egg Shell Calcium) in osteopenia and osteoporotic patients. Methods This was a randomized, open label, parallel group interventional clinical trial which included 60 study participants with osteopenia and osteoporosis who were randomized into three groups (20 each). Group 1-Microcore NESC®, Group 2-Shelcal and Group 3-CCM with 12 weeks treatment period. The participants were evaluated for relative oral bioavailability, bone mineral density (BMD), serum osteocalcin, change in VAS pain scale and quality of life-Questionnaires. Results There was significant improvement in the BMD T scores-post-treatment with MICROCORE NESC® and Shelcal. Higher percentage of improvement in calcium absorption as depicted by an increase in serum calcium levels (10.23%) in the MICROCORE NESC®-treated group when compared to Shelcal (7.7%) and CCM (7.2%). The relative bioavailability of MICROCORE NESC® with respect to Shelcal was 93%. Discussion MICROCORE NESC®, has shown a better oral relative bio availability of calcium (93%), better improvement of BMD T score compared to Shelcal and CCM. The general health status has improved to very good/excellent in 83% of patients in MICROCORE NESC®-treated group. Thus, MICROCORE NESC® can be considered a better and safe calcium supplement, as there are very few side effects observed without any clinically significant abnormalities in lab parameters.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is pivotal for osteogenesis during bone regeneration. A hydrogel that promotes both angiogenesis and osteogenesis is essential in bone tissue engineering. However, creating scaffolds with the ideal balance of biodegradability, osteogenic, and angiogenic properties poses a challenge. Thymosin beta 10 (TMSB10), known for its dual role in angiogenesis and osteogenesis differentiation, faces limitations due to protein activity preservation. To tackle this issue, ZIF-8 was engineered as a carrier for TMSB10 (TMSB10@ZIF-8), and subsequently integrated into the self-assembled sericin hydrogel. The efficacy of the composite hydrogel in bone repair was assessed using a rat cranial defect model. Characterization of the nanocomposites confirmed the successful synthesis of TMSB10@ZIF-8, with a TMSB10 encapsulation efficiency of 88.21 %. The sustained release of TMSB10 from TMSB10@ZIF-8 has significantly enhanced tube formation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro and promoted angiogenesis in the chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model in vivo. It has markedly improved the osteogenic differentiation ability of MC 3 T3-E1 cells in vitro. 8 weeks post-implantation, the TMSB10@ZIF-8/ Sericin hydrogel group exhibited significant bone healing (86.77 ± 8.91 %), outperforming controls. Thus, the TMSB10@ZIF-8/Sericin hydrogel, leveraging ZIF-8 for TMSB10 delivery, emerges as a promising bone regeneration scaffold with substantial clinical application potential.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to synthesize zinc-incorporated nanowires structure modified titanium implant surface (Zn-NW-Ti) and explore its superior osteogenic and antibacterial properties in vitro and in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS Zn-NW-Ti was synthesized via displacement reactions between zinc sulfate solutions and the titanium (Ti) surface, which was pretreated by hydrofluoric acid etching and hyperthermal alkalinization. The physicochemical properties of the Zn-NW-Ti surface were examined. Moreover, the biological effects of Zn-NW-Ti on MC3T3-E1 cells and its antibacterial property against oral pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans) compared with sandblasted and acid-etched Ti (SLA-Ti) and nanowires modified Ti (NW-Ti) surface were assessed. Zn-NW-Ti and SLA-Ti modified implants were inserted into the anterior extraction socket of the rabbit mandible with or without exposure to the mixed bacterial solution (S. aureus, P. gingivalis, and A. actinomycetemcomitans) to investigate the osteointegration and antibacterial performance via radiographic and histomorphometric analysis. RESULTS The Zn-NW-Ti surface was successfully prepared. The resultant titanium surface appeared as a nanowires structure with hydrophilicity, from which zinc ions were released in an effective concentration range. The Zn-NW-Ti surface performed better in facilitating the adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells while inhibiting the colonization of bacteria compared with SLA-Ti and NW-Ti surface. The Zn-NW-Ti implant exhibited enhanced osseointegration in vivo, which was attributed to increased osteogenic activity and reduced bacterial-induced inflammation compared with the SLA-Ti implant. CONCLUSIONS The Zn-incorporated nanowires structure modified titanium implant surface exhibited improvements in osteogenic and antibacterial properties, which optimized osteointegration in comparison with SLA titanium implant surface.

Abstract
Biotransformation of minerals via glycosylation by microorganisms such as yeast and/or probiotics yields nutrients bound to a food matrix, resulting in increased bioavailability. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of glycoprotein matrix-bound zinc (GPM) on absorption compared to inorganic zinc oxide. Sixteen participants ingested 11 mg of zinc as either GPM™ Soy-Free Zinc (GPM, Ashland, Kearny, NJ, USA) or zinc oxide (USP). Blood samples were taken at 0 (i.e., baseline), 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240, 300, 360, 420, and 480 min post-ingestion. GPM zinc concentrations were significantly higher at 120 min (p = 0.02; 12.4 ± 5.1 mcg/dL), 180 min (p = 0.002; 16.8 ± 5.1 mcg/dL), and 240 min (p = 0.007; 14.6 ± 5.1 mcg/dL) in comparison to USP zinc oxide. In addition, GPM zinc significantly increased iAUC by 40% (5840 ± 2684 vs. 4183 ± 1132 mcg/dL * 480 min, p = 0.02), and Cmax values were 10% higher in GPM compared to USP (148 ± 21 mcg/dL vs. 135 ± 17.5 mcg/dL, p = 0.08). Tmax was 12% slower in GPM compared to USP (112.5 ± 38.7 min vs. 127.5 ± 43.1 min); however, differences in Tmax failed to reach statistical significance (p = 0.28). Zinc bound to a glycoprotein matrix significantly increased absorption compared to zinc oxide.

Abstract
Mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) have attracted significant attention as multifunctional nanocarriers for various applications in both hard and soft tissue engineering. In this study, multifunctional strontium (Sr)- and zinc (Zn)-containing MBGNs were successfully synthesized via the microemulsion-assisted sol-gel method combined with a cationic surfactant (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAB). Sr-MBGNs, Zn-MBGNs, and Sr-Zn-MBGNs exhibited spherical shapes in the nanoscale range of 100 ± 20 nm with a mesoporous structure. Sr and Zn were co-substituted in MBGNs (60SiO2-40CaO) to induce osteogenic potential and antibacterial properties without altering their size, morphology, negative surface charge, amorphous nature, mesoporous structure, and pore size. The synthesized MBGNs facilitated bioactivity by promoting the formation of an apatite-like layer on the surface of the particles after immersion in Simulated Body Fluid (SBF). The effect of the particles on the metabolic activity of human mesenchymal stem cells was concentration-dependent. The hMSCs exposed to Sr-MBGNs, Zn-MBGNs, and Sr-Zn-MBGNs at 200 μg/mL enhanced calcium deposition and osteogenic differentiation without osteogenic supplements. Moreover, the cellular uptake and internalization of Sr-MBGNs, Zn-MBGNs, and Sr-Zn-MBGNs in hMSCs were observed. These novel particles, which exhibited multiple functionalities, including promoting bone regeneration, delivering therapeutic ions intracellularly, and inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, are potential nanocarriers for bone regeneration applications.

Abstract
(1) In mammals, the mineral nutrient and trace elemental composition of the body - the ionome - differs among individuals. It has been hypothesized that these differences may be related to age and sex, both for ecotoxic and essential elements. (2) We investigated whether and how intraspecific ionomic variation is related to age and sex in Fallow deer (Dama dama). We tested the predictions that concentrations of ecotoxic elements increase with age, that ionomic variation is lower among young individuals than among older individuals, and that reproductive females (does) have the lowest concentrations of essential elements. (3) Culled animals of different sex and age were obtained from a single protected area. The animals were dissected to collect 13 tissues, and concentrations of 22 different elements were measured in a sample of each tissue. (4) We described substantial ionomic variation between individuals. Some of this variation was related to age and sex, as predicted. Based on the limited existing knowledge on chemical element allocation and metabolism in the body, sex-related differences were more difficult to interpret than age-related differences. Since reference values are absent, we could not judge about the consequences of the elemental values that we found. (5) More extensive ionomic surveys, based on a wide range of elements and tissues, are needed to enlarge the understanding of within-species ionomic variation and potential biological, ecological, and metabolic consequences.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the release kinetics of Zn2+ from nZCP-loaded polylactic acid/hydroxyapatite (PLA/HA) composite scaffold (PHZ) and determine the optimal nZCP content in the scaffold. METHODS The particle size of nZCP was measured by DLS measurement, and PXRD, FTIR, and SEM were used to characterize the scaffolds and nZCP distribution; EDS was used to analyze element composition of the scaffold. Compression strength of the scaffold was determined, and ion release profile was investigated using ICP-MS. The biocompatibility of the materials was evaluated by CCK-8 assay and dead/alive staining of rat bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) incubated with their aqueous extracts. ALP staining, alizarin red staining, RT-qPCR, and Western blotting were used to assess the osteogenic potential of the treated cells. In a rat model of bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) with femoral condylar bone defect, PHZ-1, PHZ-2, PHZ-3 or PLA/HA scaffold was implanted into the bone defect, and bone repair was observed using a microCT scanner and histological staining at 6 and 12 weeks. RESULTS DLS, PXRD, SEM, FTIR, and EDS confirmed successful synthesis of 10-nm ZCP and efficient nZCP loading in the scaffold. PHZ-2 and PHZ-3 had significantly greater compression strength than PLA/HA. ICP-MS showed that Zn2+ release from PHZ-1, PHZ-2 and PHZ-3 were all optimal for promoting osteogenesis. In rat BMSCs, all the 4 scaffolds showed good biocompatibility, and their extracts enhanced ALP activity and extracellular matrix mineralization and promoted expressions of ALP, RUNX2, and OCN in the cells. In the rat models, nZCP in the implants improved bone graft integration at 6 weeks, and PHZ-2 and PHZ-3 more effectively induced new bone formation at 12 weeks (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION PHZ scaffold is capable of stable Zn2+ release to promote osteoporotic bone defect healing, and PHZ-2 and PHZ-3 scaffolds with nZCP mass fraction of 4.5%-7.5% have better osteogenic activity.

Bone Formation and Maintenance in Oral Surgery: The Decisive Role of the Immune System-A Narrative Review of Mechanisms and Solutions. Bioengineering (Basel) 2024; 11:191. [PMID: 38391677 PMCID: PMC10886049 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering11020191] [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: 01/03/2024] [Revised: 02/03/2024] [Accepted: 02/09/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Based on the evidence of a significant communication and connection pathway between the bone and immune systems, a new science has emerged: osteoimmunology. Indeed, the immune system has a considerable impact on bone health and diseases, as well as on bone formation during grafts and its stability over time. Chronic inflammation induces the excessive production of oxidants. An imbalance between the levels of oxidants and antioxidants is called oxidative stress. This physio-pathological state causes both molecular and cellular damage, which leads to DNA alterations, genetic mutations and cell apoptosis, and thus, impaired immunity followed by delayed or compromised wound healing. Oxidative stress levels experienced by the body affect bone regeneration and maintenance around teeth and dental implants. As the immune system and bone remodeling are interconnected, bone loss is a consequence of immune dysregulation. Therefore, oral tissue deficiencies such as periodontitis and peri-implantitis should be regarded as immune diseases. Bone management strategies should include both biological and surgical solutions. These protocols tend to improve immunity through antioxidant production to enhance bone formation and prevent bone loss. This narrative review aims to highlight the relationship between inflammation, oxidation, immunity and bone health in the oral cavity. It intends to help clinicians to detect high-risk situations in oral surgery and to propose biological and clinical solutions that will enhance patients' immune responses and surgical treatment outcomes.

Abstract
Zinc (Zn) plays a crucial role in bone metabolism and imbues biodegradable Zn-based materials with the ability to promote bone regeneration in bone trauma. However, the impact of Zn biodegradation on bone repair, particularly its influence on angiogenesis, remains unexplored. This study reveals that Zn biodegradation induces a consistent dose-dependent spatiotemporal response in angiogenesis,both in vivo and in vitro. In a critical bone defect model, an increase in Zn release intensity from day 3 to 10 post-surgery is observed. By day 10, the CD31-positive area around the Zn implant significantly surpasses that of the Ti implant, indicating enhanced angiogenesis. Furthermore,angiogenesis exhibits a distance-dependent pattern closely mirroring the distribution of Zn signals from the implant. In vitro experiments demonstrate that Zn extraction fosters the proliferation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and upregulates the key genes associated with tube formation, such as HIF-1α and VEGF-A, peaking at a concentration of 22.5 µM. Additionally, Zn concentrations within the range of 11.25-45 µM promote the polarization of M0-type macrophages toward the M2-type, while inhibiting polarization toward the M1-type. These findings provide essential insights into the biological effects of Zn on bone repair, shedding light on its potential applications.

Abstract
Zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is a biomaterial that has been increasingly studied in recent years. It has several applications such as bone regeneration, promotion of angiogenesis, drug loading, and antibacterial activity, and exerts multiple effects to deal with various problems in the process of bone regeneration. This systematic review aims to provide an overview of the applications and effectiveness of ZIF-8 in bone regeneration. A search of papers published in the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases revealed 532 relevant studies. Title, abstract, and full-text screening resulted in 39 papers being included in the review, including 39 in vitro and 22 animal studies. Appropriate concentrations of nano ZIF-8 can promote cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation by releasing Zn2+ and entering the cell, whereas high doses of ZIF-8 are cytotoxic and inhibit osteogenic differentiation. In addition, five studies confirmed that ZIF-8 exhibits good vasogenic activity. In all in vivo experiments, nano ZIF-8 promoted bone formation. These results indicate that, at appropriate concentrations, materials containing ZIF-8 promote bone regeneration more than materials without ZIF-8, and with characteristics such as promoting angiogenesis, drug loading, and antibacterial activity, it is expected to show promising applications in the field of bone regeneration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This manuscript reviewed the use of ZIF-8 in bone regeneration, clarified the biocompatibility and effectiveness in promoting bone regeneration of ZIF-8 materials, and discussed the possible mechanisms and factors affecting its promotion of bone regeneration. Overall, this study provides a better understanding of the latest advances in the field of bone regeneration of ZIF-8, serves as a design guide, and contributes to the design of future experimental studies.

Abstract
While bone tissue is known for its inherent regenerative abilities, various pathological conditions and trauma can disrupt its meticulously regulated processes of bone formation and resorption. Bone tissue engineering aims to replicate the extracellular matrix of bone tissue as well as the sophisticated biochemical mechanisms crucial for effective regeneration. Traditionally, the field has relied on external agents like growth factors and pharmaceuticals to modulate these processes. Although efficacious in certain scenarios, this strategy is compromised by limitations such as safety issues and the transient nature of the compound release and half-life. Conversely, bioactive elements such as zinc (Zn), magnesium (Mg) and silicon (Si), have garnered increasing interest for their therapeutic benefits, superior stability, and reduced biotic risks. Moreover, these elements are often incorporated into biomaterials that function as multifaceted bioactive components, facilitating bone regeneration via release on-demand. By elucidating the mechanistic roles and therapeutic efficacy of the bioactive elements, this review aims to establish bioactive elements as a robust and clinically viable strategy for advanced bone regeneration.

Abstract
Improvements in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (TERM)-type technologies have allowed the development of specific materials that, together with a better understanding of bone tissue structure, have provided new pathways to obtain biomaterials for bone tissue regeneration. In this manuscript, bioabsorbable materials are presented as emerging materials in tissue engineering therapies related to bone lesions because of their ability to degrade in physiological environments while the regeneration process is completed. This comprehensive review aims to explore the studies, published since its inception (2010s) to the present, on bioabsorbable composite materials based on PLA and PCL polymeric matrix reinforced with Mg, which is also bioabsorbable and has recognized osteoinductive capacity. The research collected in the literature reveals studies based on different manufacturing and dispersion processes of the reinforcement as well as the physicochemical analysis and corresponding biological evaluation to know the osteoinductive capacity of the proposed PLA/Mg and PCL/Mg composites. In short, this review shows the potential of these composite materials and serves as a guide for those interested in bioabsorbable materials applied in bone tissue engineering.

Metal Organic Framework-Incorporated Three-Dimensional (3D) Bio-Printable Hydrogels to Facilitate Bone Repair: Preparation and In Vitro Bioactivity Analysis. Gels 2023; 9:923.

Abstract
Hydrogels are three-dimensional (3D) water-swellable polymeric matrices that are used extensively in tissue engineering and drug delivery. Hydrogels can be conformed into any desirable shape using 3D bio-printing, making them suitable for personalized treatment. Among the different 3D bio-printing techniques, digital light processing (DLP)-based printing offers the advantage of quickly fabricating high resolution structures, reducing the chances of cell damage during the printing process. Here, we have used DLP to 3D bio-print biocompatible gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) scaffolds intended for bone repair. GelMA is biocompatible, biodegradable, has integrin binding motifs that promote cell adhesion, and can be crosslinked easily to form hydrogels. However, GelMA on its own is incapable of promoting bone repair and must be supplemented with pharmaceutical molecules or growth factors, which can be toxic or expensive. To overcome this limitation, we introduced zinc-based metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles into GelMA that can promote osteogenic differentiation, providing safer and more affordable alternatives to traditional methods. Incorporation of this nanoparticle into GelMA hydrogel has demonstrated significant improvement across multiple aspects, including bio-printability, and favorable mechanical properties (showing a significant increase in the compressive modulus from 52.14 ± 19.42 kPa to 128.13 ± 19.46 kPa with the addition of ZIF-8 nanoparticles). The designed nanocomposite hydrogels can also sustain drug (vancomycin) release (maximum 87.52 ± 1.6% cumulative amount) and exhibit a remarkable ability to differentiate human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells toward the osteogenic lineage. Furthermore, the formulated MOF-integrated nanocomposite hydrogel offers the unique capability to coat metallic implants intended for bone healing. Overall, the remarkable printability and coating ability displayed by the nanocomposite hydrogel presents itself as a promising candidate for drug delivery, cell delivery and bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Dysregulated metal homeostasis is associated with many pathological conditions, including arthritic diseases. Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are the two most prevalent disorders that damage the joints and lead to cartilage and bone destruction. Recent studies show that the levels of zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) are generally altered in the serum of arthritis patients. Therefore, metal dyshomeostasis may reflect the contribution of these trace elements to the disease's pathogenesis and manifestations, suggesting their potential for prognosis and treatment. Carnosine (Car) also emerged as a biomarker in arthritis and exerts protective and osteogenic effects in arthritic joints. Notably, its zinc(II) complex, polaprezinc, has been recently proposed as a drug-repurposing candidate for bone fracture healing. On these bases, this review article aims to provide an overview of the beneficial roles of Cu and Zn in bone and cartilage health and their potential application in tissue engineering. The effects of Car and polaprezinc in promoting cartilage and bone regeneration are also discussed. We hypothesize that polaprezinc could exchange Zn for Cu, present in the culture media, due to its higher sequestering ability towards Cu. However, future studies should unveil the potential contribution of Cu in the beneficial effects of polaprezinc.

Abstract
Zinc is a very important and ubiquitous element, which is present in oral environment, daily diet, oral health products, dental restorative materials, and so on. However, there is a lack of attention to the role of both extracellular or intracellular zinc in the progression of periodontitis and periodontal regeneration. This review summarizes the characteristics of immunological microenvironment and host cells function in several key stages of periodontitis progression, and explores the regulatory effect of zinc during this process. We find multiple evidence indicate that zinc may be involved and play a key role in the stages of immune defense, inflammatory response and bone remodeling. Zinc supplementation in an appropriate dose range or regulation of zinc transport proteins can promote periodontal regeneration by either enhancing immune defense or up-regulating local cells proliferation and differentiation functions. Therefore, zinc homeostasis is essential in periodontal remodeling and regeneration. More attention is suggested to be focused on zinc homeostasis regulation and consider it as a potential strategy in the studies on periodontitis treatment, periodontal-guided tissue regeneration, implant material transformation, and so on.

Abstract
The proliferation and differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in vitro are the key properties of bone tissue engineering for biomaterials. In this study, hydroxyapatite (HA) coated porous carbon nanofibres (PCNFs) were prepared to load dexamethasone (DEX) and further improve the differentiation ability of the BMSCs. Various characterisations were applied to reveal the DEX loading efficacy and biocompatibility, especially the differentiation strength. The results showed that HA could be successfully coated on the PCNFs by pretreating the surface using PEG conjugation. With an increase of HA, the particle diameter increased and the DEX loading decreased. In vitro experiments proved higher cell viability, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, calcium nodule secretion ability and the RUNX2 protein expression, indicating that the as-prepared was of great biocompatibility and optimised osteoconductivity, which was attributed to the componential imitation to natural bone and the accelerated BMSCs differentiation. Consequently, the novel DEX loaded and HA coated PCNFs can provide potential applications in bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Objectives: To determine whether SNPs of osteoarthritis (OA)-related genes predict the effect of Chrysanthemum zawadskii var. latilobum (CZ) extract in OA patients with OA. Subjects/methods: To analyze correlations between CZ extract effects in humans and their genotypes, 121 Korean patients with OA were recruited. Patients ingested 600 mg/day of the CZ extract GCWB106 (one tablet daily), including 250-mg CZ, or placebo (one tablet daily) for 12 weeks. Twenty SNPs were genotyped in 11 genes associated with OA pathogenesis, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and 9 genes involved in OA-related dietary intervention. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Korean Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (K-WOMAC) were measured as indicators of GCWB106 effect. Statistical comparisons were performed using Kruskal-Wallis tests to identify associations between these scales and genotyped loci in patients with OA. Results: Three SNPs (PPARG rs3856806, MMP13 rs2252070, and ZIP2 rs2234632) were significantly associated with the degree of change in VAS pain score. Homozygous CC genotype carriers of rs3856806, G allele carriers (GA or GG) of rs2252070, and T allele carriers (GT or TT) of rs2234632 showed lower VAS score (i.e., less severe symptoms) in the GCWB106 group (n=53) than the placebo group (n=57) (p=0.026, p=0.009, and p=0.025, respectively). Gene-gene interaction effects on GCWB106-mediated pain relief were then examined, and it was found that the addition of each genotype resulted in a greater decrease in VAS pain score in the GCWB106 group (p=0.0024) but not the placebo group (p=0.7734). Conclusions: These novel predictive markers for the pain-relieving effects of GCWB106 may be used in the personalized treatment of patients with OA.

Abstract
In this work, a titanium-doped hydroxyapatite (HAp) scaffold was produced from two different sources (natural eggshell and laboratory-grade reagents) to compare the efficacy of natural and synthetic resources of HAp materials on new bone regeneration. This comparative study also reports the effect of Ti doping on the physical, mechanical, and in vitro as well as in vivo biological properties of the HAp scaffold. Pellets were prepared in the conventional powder metallurgy route, compacted, and sintered at 900 °C, showing sufficient porosity for bony ingrowth. The physical-mechanical characterizations were performed by density, porosity evaluation, XRD, FTIR, SEM analysis, and hardness measurement. In vitro interactions were evaluated by bactericidal assay, hemolysis, MTT assay, and interaction with simulated body fluid. All categories of pellets showed absolute nonhemolytic and nontoxic character. Furthermore, significant apatite formation was observed on the Ti-doped HAp samples in the simulated body fluid immersion study. The developed porous pellets were implanted to assess the bone defect healing in the femoral condyle of healthy rabbits. A 2 month study after implantation showed no marked inflammatory reaction for any samples. Radiological analysis, histological analysis, SEM analysis, and oxytetracycline labeling studies depicted better invasion of mature osseous tissue in the pores of doped eggshell-derived HAp scaffolds as compared to the undoped HAp, and laboratory-made samples. Quantification using oxytetracycline labeling depicted 59.31 ± 1.89% new bone formation for Ti-doped eggshell HAp as compared to Ti-doped pure HAp (54.41 ± 1.93) and other undoped samples. Histological studies showed the presence of abundant osteoblastic and osteoclastic cells in Ti-doped eggshell HAp in contrast to other samples. Radiological and SEM data also showed similar results. The results indicated that Ti-doped biosourced HAp samples have good biocompatibility, new bone-forming ability, and could be used as a bone grafting material in orthopedic surgery.

Abstract
Treatment of infected bone defects is a major clinical challenge; bioactive materials combining sufficient antimicrobial activity and favorable osteogenic ability are urgently needed. In this study, through a facile one-pot hydrothermal reaction of zinc acetate in the presence of tannic acid (TA), with or without silver nitrate (AgNO3 ), is used to synthesize a TA or TA and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) bulk-modified zinc oxide (ZnO) (ZnO-TA or ZnO-TA-Ag), which is further composited with zein to fabricate porous microparticulate scaffolds for infected bone defect repair. Bulk TA modification significantly improves the release rate of antibacterial metal ions (Zn2+ release rate is >100 times that of ZnO). Fast and long-lasting (>35 d) Zn2+ and Ag+ release guaranteed sufficient antibacterial capability and excellent osteogenic properties in promoting the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and endogenous citric acid production and mineralization and providing considerable immunomodulatory activity in promoting M2 polarization of macrophages. At the same time, synchronously-released TA could scavenge endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ROS produced by antibacterial metal ions, effectively balancing antibacterial activity and osteogenesis to sufficiently control infection while protecting the surrounding tissue from damage, thus effectively promoting infected bone defect repair.

Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a critical issue for female health worldwide. This current study was designed to evaluate the role of nanopowder eggshell (NPES) in healthy and ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis rats. Fifty-six female rats were divided into healthy rats (35) and ovariectomized rats (21). The healthy rats were subdivided into five groups (G1-G5) and received one of the following treatments: saline, 20 or 40 mg/kg of calcium carbonate, and 20 or 40 mg/kg of NPES. The 21 ovariectomized rats were divided into three groups (G6-G8) and received either saline, 40 mg/kg of calcium carbonate, or 40 mg/kg of NPES. Biochemical and histopathological assessments of bone formation and resorption were performed. Biomarkers of bone formation (calcium and osteocalcin (OCN)) and calcium content in left femur ashes were significantly higher in healthy rats given 40-mg/kg NPES than in healthy control rats and healthy rats given 40-mg/kg calcium carbonate. The ovariectomized groups had significantly lower levels of vitamin D3, OCN, and osteoprotegerin (OPG) than the healthy control. Alanine transaminase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) were significantly increased in the ovariectomized group than in the healthy control group. Treatment with NPES and calcium carbonate reduced liver enzymes in ovariectomized rats. NPES treatment significantly increased Vit D3, OCN, OPG, and bone ash mineral content (calcium, magnesium, zinc, and phosphorus) in ovariectomized rats. NPES also increased femur cortical thickness, osteoblast number, and collagen fiber. The current study suggests that NPES can modulate bone turnover biomarkers and increase bone trace elements. Moreover, NPES alleviates bone resorption in ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis.

Abstract
In this work, to improve antibacterial, biocompatible and bioactive properties of commercial pure titanium (cp-Ti) for implant applications, the Zn-deposited nanotube surfaces were fabricated on cp-Ti by using combined anodic oxidation (AO) and physical vapor deposition (PVD-TE) methods. Homogenous elemental distributions were observed through all surfaces. Moreover, Zn-deposited surfaces exhibited hydrophobic character while bare Ti surfaces were hydrophilic. Due to the biodegradable behavior of Zn on the nanotube surface, Zn-deposited nanotube surfaces showed higher corrosion current density than bare cp-Ti surface in SBF conditions as expected. In vitro biological properties such as cell viability, ALP activity, protein adsorption, hemolytic activity and antibacterial activity for Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria of all surfaces were investigated in detail. Cell viability, ALP activity and antibacterial properties of Zn-deposited nanotube surfaces were significantly improved with respect to bare cp-Ti. Moreover, hemolytic activity and protein adsorption of Zn-deposited nanotube surfaces were decreased. According to these results; a bioactive, biocompatible and antibacterial Zn-deposited nanotube surfaces produced on cp-Ti by using combined AO and PVD techniques can have potential for orthopedic and dental implant applications.

Abstract
Zinc (Zn)-based biodegradable materials show moderate degradation rates in comparison with other biodegradable materials (Fe and Mg). Biocompatibility and non-toxicity also make them a viable option for implant applications. Furthermore, Pure Zn has poor mechanical behavior, with a tensile strength of around 100-150 MPa and an elongation of 0.3-2%, which is far from reaching the strength required as an orthopedic implant material (tensile strength is more than 300 MPa, elongation more than 15%). Alloy and composite fabrication have proven to be excellent ways to improve the mechanical performance of Zn. Therefore, their alloys and composites have emerged as an innovative category of biodegradable materials. This paper summarizes the most important recent research results on the mechanical and biological characteristics of biodegradable Zn-based implants for orthopedic applications and the most commonly added components in Zn alloys and composites.

Zinc-Doped Bioactive Glass/Polycaprolactone Hybrid Scaffolds Manufactured by Direct and Indirect 3D Printing Methods for Bone Regeneration. Cells 2023; 12:1759.

Abstract
A novel organic-inorganic hybrid, based on SiO2-CaO-ZnO bioactive glass (BG) and polycaprolactone (PCL), associating the highly bioactive and versatile bioactive glass with clinically established PCL was examined. The BG-PCL hybrid is obtained by acid-catalyzed silica sol-gel process inside PCL solution either by direct or indirect printing. Apatite-formation tests in simulated body fluid (SBF) confirm the ion release along with the hybrid's bone-like apatite forming. Kinetics differ significantly between directly and indirectly printed scaffolds, the former requiring longer periods to degrade, while the latter demonstrates faster calcium phosphate (CaP) formation. Remarkably, Zn diffusion and accumulation are observed at the surface within the newly formed active CaP layer. Zn release is found to be dependent on printing method and immersion medium. Investigation of BG at the atomic scale reveals the ambivalent role of Zn, capable of acting both as a network modifier and as a network former linking the BG silicate network. In addition, hMSCs viability assay proves no cytotoxicity of the Zn hybrid. LIVE/DEAD staining demonstrated excellent cell viability and proliferation for over seven weeks. Overall, this hybrid material either non-doped or doped with a metal trace element is a promising candidate to be translated to clinical applications for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate (CaP) bioceramics are broadly employed for bone regeneration due to their excellent biocompatibility and osteoconductivity. However, they are not capable of repairing healing-impaired bone defects such as defects with conditions of ischemia or infection due to restricted bioactivities. In this study, we synthesized single-phased strontium-zinc-phosphate (SZP, SrZn2(PO4)2) bioceramics via a solution combustion method and further fabricated SZP scaffolds using a three-dimensional (3D) printing technique. Compared to 3D printed β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffolds, the 3D printed SZP scaffolds presented comparable porosity, compressive strength, and Young's modulus, but increased ability of osteogenesis, angiogenesis, immunomodulation and anti-bacterial activity. Specifically, 3D printed SZP scaffolds not only led to significantly higher osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells and pro-angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) directly or through macrophage-mediated immunomodulation, but also inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli). The in vivo study of the rat cranial bone defect model further confirmed better vascularized bone regeneration in 3D-printed SZP scaffolds. These findings indicate that the proposed 3D-printed SZP scaffolds might be a versatile candidate for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The prevalence and cost of wounds pose a challenge to patients as well as the healthcare system. Wounds can involve multiple tissue types and, in some cases, become chronic and difficult to treat. Comorbidities may also decrease the rate of tissue regeneration and complicate healing. Currently, treatment relies on optimizing healing factors rather than administering effective targeted therapies. Owing to their enormous diversity in structure and function, peptides are among the most prevalent and biologically important class of compounds and have been investigated for their wound healing bioactivities. A class of these peptides, called cyclic peptides, confer stability and improved pharmacokinetics, and are an ideal source of wound healing therapeutics. This review provides an overview of cyclic peptides that have been shown to promote wound healing in various tissues and in model organisms. In addition, we describe cytoprotective cyclic peptides that mitigate ischemic reperfusion injuries. Advantages and challenges in harnessing the healing potential for cyclic peptides from a clinical perspective are also discussed. Cyclic peptides are a potentially attractive category of wound healing compounds and more research in this field could not only rely on design as mimetics but also encompass de novo approaches as well.

Abstract
New bone cement type that combines Sr2 + /Mg2 + or Sr2 + /Zn2 + co-substituted nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HAs) with calcium phosphate dibasic and chitosan/gelatin polymers was developed to increase adhesion and cellular response. The cements were physicochemically described and tested in vitro using cell cultures. All cements exhibited quite hydrophilic and had high washout resistance. Cement releases Ca2 + , Mg2 + , Sr2 + , and Zn2 + in concentrations that are suitable for osteoblast proliferation and development. All of the cements stimulated cell proliferation in fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and osteoblasts, were non-cytotoxic, and produced apatite. Cements containing co-substituted n-HAs had excellent cytocompatibility, which improved osteoblast adhesion and cell proliferation. These cements had osteoinductive potential, stimulating extracellular matrix (ECM) mineralization and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells by increasing ALP and NO production. The ions Ca2 + , Mg2 + , Zn2 + , and Sr2 + appear to cooperate in promoting osteoblast function. The C3 cement (HA-SrMg5%), which was made up of n-HA co-substituted with 5 mol% Sr and 5 mol% Mg, showed exceptional osteoinductive capacity in terms of bone regeneration, indicating that this new bone cement could be a promising material for bone replacement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine changes in the mineral composition of the bones of rats with chemically induced mammary gland cancer and to attempt to establish whether a specific diet modification involving the inclusion of zinc ions in two forms-nano and micro-will affect the mineral composition of the bones. METHODS Female Sprague-Dawley rats were used for the research. The animals were randomly assigned to three experimental groups. All animals were fed a standard diet (Labofeed H), and selected groups additionally received zinc nanoparticles or microparticles in the amount of 4.6 mg/mL. To induce mammary cancer, the animals were given 7,12-dimethyl-1,2-benz[a]anthracene. The content of Ag, As, B, Ba, Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Rb, Se, Sr, Tl, U, and V was determined using ICP-MS, while that of Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Na, and Zn was determined using FAAS. RESULTS The use of a diet enriched with zinc nano- or microparticles significantly influenced the content of the elements tested. In the bones of rats fed a diet with zinc nanoparticles, changes were found in the content of Ca, Mg, Zn, Cd, U, V, and Tl, while in the case of the diet supplemented with zinc microparticles, there were differences in six elements-Ca, Mg, B, Cd, Ag, and Pb-compared to animals receiving an unsupplemented diet. CONCLUSIONS The content of elements in the bone tissue of rats in the experimental model indicates disturbances of mineral metabolism in the tissue at an early stage of mammary cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Titanium implants are regarded as a promising treatment modality for replacing missing teeth. Osteointegration and antibacterial properties are both desirable characteristics for titanium dental implants. The aim of this study was to create zinc (Zn)-, strontium (Sr)-, and magnesium (Mg)-multidoped hydroxyapatite (HAp) porous coatings, including HAp, Zn-doped HAp, and Zn-Sr-Mg-doped HAp, on titanium discs and implants using the vapor-induced pore-forming atmospheric plasma spraying (VIPF-APS) technique. METHODS The mRNA and protein levels of osteogenesis-associated genes such as collagen type I alpha 1 chain (COL1A1), decorin (DCN), osteoprotegerin (TNFRSF11B), and osteopontin (SPP1) were examined in human embryonic palatal mesenchymal cells. The antibacterial effects against periodontal bacteria, including Porphyromonas gingivalis and Prevotella nigrescens, were investigated. In addition, a rat animal model was used to evaluate new bone formation via histologic examination and micro-computed tomography (CT). RESULTS The ZnSrMg-HAp group was the most effective at inducing mRNA and protein expression of TNFRSF11B and SPP1 after 7 days of incubation, and TNFRSF11B and DCN after 11 days of incubation. In addition, both the ZnSrMg-HAp and Zn-HAp groups were effective against P. gingivalis and P. nigrescens. Furthermore, according to both in vitro studies and histologic findings, the ZnSrMg-HAp group exhibited the most prominent osteogenesis and concentrated bone growth along implant threads. SIGNIFICANCE A porous ZnSrMg-HAp coating using VIPF-APS could serve as a novel technique for coating titanium implant surfaces and preventing further bacterial infection.

Three-Dimensional Printing of Poly-L-Lactic Acid Composite Scaffolds with Enhanced Bioactivity and Controllable Zn Ion Release Capability by Coupling with Carbon-ZnO. Bioengineering (Basel) 2023; 10:bioengineering10030307.

Abstract
Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) has gained great popularity with researchers in regenerative medicine owing to its superior biocompatibility and biodegradability, although its inadequate bioactivity inhibits the further use of PLLA in the field of bone regeneration. Zinc oxide (ZnO) has been utilized to improve the biological performance of biopolymers because of its renowned osteogenic activity. However, ZnO nanoparticles tend to agglomerate in the polymer matrix due to high surface energy, which would lead to the burst release of the Zn ion and, thus, cytotoxicity. In this study, to address this problem, carbon–ZnO (C–ZnO) was first synthesized through the carbonization of ZIF-8. Then, C–ZnO was introduced to PLLA powder before it was manufactured as scaffolds (PLLA/C–ZnO) by a selective laser sintering 3D printing technique. The results showed that the PLLA/C–ZnO scaffold was able to continuously release Zn ions in a reasonable range, which can be attributed to the interaction of Zn–N bonding and the shielding action of the PLLA scaffold. The controlled release of Zn ions from the scaffold further facilitated cell adhesion and proliferation and improved the osteogenic differentiation ability at the same time. In addition, C–ZnO endowed the scaffold with favorable photodynamic antibacterial ability, which was manifested by an efficient antibacterial rate of over 95%.

Abstract
Most people who suffer acute injuries in accidents have fractured bones. Many of the basic processes that take place during embryonic skeletal development are replicated throughout the regeneration process that occurs during this time. Bruises and bone fractures, for example, serve as excellent examples. It almost always results in a successful recovery and restoration of the structural integrity and strength of the broken bone. After a fracture, the body begins to regenerate bone. Bone formation is a complex physiological process that requires meticulous planning and execution. A normal healing procedure for a fracture might reveal how the bone is constantly rebuilding as an adult. Bone regeneration is becoming more dependent on polymer nanocomposites, which are composites made up of a polymer matrix and a nanomaterial. This study will review polymer nanocomposites that are employed in bone regeneration to stimulate bone regeneration. As a result, we will introduce the role of bone regeneration nanocomposite scaffolds, and the nanocomposite ceramics and biomaterials that play a role in bone regeneration.

Allolobophora caliginosa coelomic fluid and extract alleviate glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis in mice by suppressing oxidative stress and regulating osteoblastic/osteoclastic-related markers. Sci Rep 2023; 13:2090. [PMID: 36746995 PMCID: PMC9902447 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-29070-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Allolobophora calignosa (Ac) is a folk medicine for millennia, as it possesses many biological activities. This study aimed to investigate the chemo-preventive activity of A.calignosa coelomic fluid (AcCF) and A.calignosa extract (AcE) on glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) in mice. Characterization and in vitro biological activity of AcE and AcCF has been assessed. Male CD-1 mice were subcutaneously received dexamethasone (DEX) (1 mg/kg, 5 times/week) and concurrently intraperitoneally treated with either AcCF (20 mg/kg) or AcE (45 mg/kg) every other day for 28 days. Serum and bone homogenates were subjected for qPCR and biochemical analysis. AcE and AcCF treatment significantly increased bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), and calcitonin levels, whereas activity of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP), serum acidic phosphatase (ACP), bone acidic phosphatase (BACP) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels were significantly reduced compare with untreated GIOP mice. Treatment with AcE and AcCF modulates oxidative stress and downregulated Rank and Mmp9 expression, as well as increased glycosaminoglycan content in the organic bone matrix, resulting in osteoclastogenesis inhibition. Overall, AcCF and AcE show a chemo-preventive activity against GIOP by inhibiting oxidative stress and regulating expression and/or activity of osteoblast/osteoclast-related markers.

Abstract
The paper presents the current understanding on the effects of five metals on bone tissue, namely iron, zinc, copper, cadmium, and mercury. Iron, zinc, and copper contribute significantly to human and animal metabolism when present in sufficient amounts, but their excess or shortage increases the risk of developing bone disorders. In contrast, cadmium and mercury serve no physiological purpose and their long-term accumulation damages the osteoarticular system. We discuss the methods of action and interactions between the discussed elements as well as the concentrations of each element in distinct bone structures.

Biological Evaluation of Zinc Phosphate Cement for Potential Bone Contact Applications. Biomedicines 2023; 11:biomedicines11020250.

Abstract
Zinc phosphate cement is used in dentistry to lute crowns and bridges. So far, its biocompatibility for other applications has not been studied. This paper reports the biocompatibility of zinc phosphate towards MG63 cells, testing both the material (discs; 3 mm diameter × 1 mm thick) and leachate from the cement. Cell viability was determined using an MTT assay, and cytotoxicity from the effects of leachate, studied in triplicate. Microscopy (optical and scanning electron) determined the morphology and proliferation of cells attached to zinc phosphate. ICP-OES measured element release into leachate, and anti-microbial behaviour was determined against Streptococcus pyrogenes cultured on a Brain Heart Infusion agar using cement discs (3 mm diameter × 1 mm thick). Zones of inhibition were measured after 72 h. MG63 cells proliferated on zinc phosphate surfaces and retained their morphology. The cells were healthy and viable as shown by an MTT assay, both on cement and in leachate. High levels of phosphorus but low levels of zinc were released into leachate. The cement showed minimal antimicrobial activity against S. pyogenes, probably due to the long maturation times used. Zinc phosphate cement was found to be biocompatible towards MG63 cells, which indicates that it may be capable of use in bone contact applications.

Abstract
In the absence of adequate treatment, effective bone regeneration remains a great challenge. Exploring hydrogels with properties of excellent bioactivity, stability, non-immunogenicity, and commercialization is an important step to develop hydrogel-based bone regeneration materials. In this study, we engineered a self-assembled chelating peptide hydrogel loaded with an osteogenic metal ion cluster extracted from the processed pyritum decoction, including Fe2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Mn2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ ions, named processed pyritum hydrogel (PPH). We demonstrated that as a reservoir of beneficial metal ion clusters in bone regeneration, PPH has been shown to regulate a variety of genes in the process of bone regeneration. These genes are mainly involved in extracellular matrix synthesis, cell adhesion and migration, cytokine expression, antimicrobial and inflammation. Therefore, PPH accelerated the progress of various bone healing stages, and shortened the bone healing cycle by 4 weeks. Our investigation outcomes showed that the engineered metal ion cluster hydrogel is a novel, simple, and commercializable bone-regenerating hydrogel with potential clinical use.
