Development of Biocompatible Coatings with PVA/Gelatin Hydrogel Films on Vancomycin-Loaded Titania Nanotubes for Controllable Drug Release. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:37052-37062. [PMID: 39246498 PMCID: PMC11375713 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c03942] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2024] [Revised: 06/27/2024] [Accepted: 08/15/2024] [Indexed: 09/10/2024]
Abstract
This study investigates the utilization of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/gelatin hydrogel films cross-linked with glutaraldehyde as a novel material to coat the surface of vancomycin-loaded titania nanotubes (TNTs), with a focus on enhancing biocompatibility and achieving controlled vancomycin release. Hydrogel films have emerged as promising candidates in tissue engineering and drug-delivery systems due to their versatile properties. The development of these hydrogel films involved varying the proportions of PVA, gelatin, and glutaraldehyde to achieve the desired properties, including the gel fraction, swelling behavior, biocompatibility, and biodegradation. Among the formulations tested, the hydrogel with a PVA-to-gelatin ratio of 25:75 and 0.2% glutaraldehyde was selected to coat vancomycin-loaded TNTs. The coated TNTs demonstrated slower release of vancomycin compared with the uncoated TNTs. In addition, the coated TNTs demonstrated the ability to promote osteogenesis, as evidenced by increased alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium accumulation. The vancomycin-loaded TNTs coated with hydrogel film demonstrated effectiveness against both E. coli and S. aureus. These findings highlight the potential benefits and therapeutic applications of using hydrogel films to coat implant materials, offering efficient drug delivery and controlled release. This study contributes valuable insights into the development of alternative materials for medical applications, thereby advancing the field of biomaterials and drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Background Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. The reduction of intraocular pressure has proved to be the only factor which can be modified in the treatment, and surgical management is one of the important methods for the treatment of glaucoma patients. Main text In order to increase aqueous humor outflow and further reduce intraocular pressure, various drainage implants have been designed and applied in clinical practice. From initial Molteno, Baerveldt and Ahmed glaucoma implants to the Ahmed ClearPath device, Paul glaucoma implant, EX-PRESS and the eyeWatch implant, to iStent, Hydrus, XEN, PreserFlo, Cypass, SOLX Gold Shunt, etc., glaucoma surgical implants are currently undergoing a massive transformation on their structures and performances. Multitudinous materials have been used to produce these implants, from original silicone and porous polyethylene, to gelatin, stainless steel, SIBS, titanium, nitinol and even 24-carat gold. Moreover, the material geometry, size, rigidity, biocompatibility and mechanism (valved versus nonvalved) among these implants are markedly different. In this review, we discussed the development and material characteristics of both conventional glaucoma drainage devices and more recent implants, such as the eyeWatch and the new minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices. Conclusions Although different in design and materials, these delicate glaucoma surgical implants have widely expanded the glaucoma surgical methods, and improved the success rate and safety of glaucoma surgery significantly. However, all of these glaucoma surgical implants have various limitations and should be used for different glaucoma patients at different conditions.

Abstract
Objective To review the current research and application progress of three-dimentional (3D) printed porous titanium alloy after tumor resection, and provide direction and reference for the follow-up clinical application and basic research of 3D printed porous titanium alloy. Methods The related literature on research and application of 3D printed porous titanium alloy after tumor resection in recent years was reviewed from three aspects: performance of simple 3D printed porous titanium alloy, application analysis of simple 3D printed porous titanium alloy after tumor resection, and research progress of anti-tumor 3D printed porous titanium alloy. Results 3D printing technology can adjust the pore parameters of porous titanium alloy, so that it has the same biomechanical properties as bone. Appropriate pore parameters are conducive to inducing bone growth, promoting the recovery of skeletal system and related functions, and improving the quality of life of patients after operation. Simple 3D printed porous titanium alloy can more accurately match the bone defect after tumor resection through preoperative personalized design, so that it can closely fit the surgical margin after tumor resection, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of the operation. The early and mid-term follow-up results show that its application reduces the postoperative complications such as implant loosening, subsidence, fracture and so on, and enhances the bone stability. The anti-tumor performance of 3D printed porous titanium alloy mainly includes coating and drug-loading treatment of pure 3D printed porous titanium alloy, and some progress has been made in the basic research stage. Conclusion Simple 3D printed porous titanium alloy is suitable for patients with large and complex bone defects after tumor resection, and the anti-tumor effect of 3D printed porous titanium alloy can be achieved through coating and drug delivery.

[PMID: 34842628 PMCID: PMC8628669 DOI: 10.3390/biomimetics6040065] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2021] [Revised: 11/08/2021] [Accepted: 11/15/2021] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Biomimetics is an emerging field of science that adapts the working principles from nature to fine-tune the engineering design aspects to mimic biological structure and functions. The application mainly focuses on the development of medical implants for hard and soft tissue replacements. Additive manufacturing or 3D printing is an established processing norm with a superior resolution and control over process parameters than conventional methods and has allowed the incessant amalgamation of biomimetics into material manufacturing, thereby improving the adaptation of biomaterials and implants into the human body. The conventional manufacturing practices had design restrictions that prevented mimicking the natural architecture of human tissues into material manufacturing. However, with additive manufacturing, the material construction happens layer-by-layer over multiple axes simultaneously, thus enabling finer control over material placement, thereby overcoming the design challenge that prevented developing complex human architectures. This review substantiates the dexterity of additive manufacturing in utilizing biomimetics to 3D print ceramic, polymer, and metal implants with excellent resemblance to natural tissue. It also cites some clinical references of experimental and commercial approaches employing biomimetic 3D printing of implants.
