Abstract
The introduction of nickel-titanium (NiTi) mechanical instruments dramatically changed clinical endodontics over the last few decades. Before NiTi, it was necessary to use more instruments to create an ideal root canal shape, and many approaches, sequences and techniques were developed over the years. Recently, NiTi endodontic instruments have undergone a series of changes brought about by modifications in design, surface treatments, and thermal treatments to improve their root canal preparation outcomes and reduce associated canal preparation risks during root canal treatment. Heat treatment is one of the most fundamental approaches to improving the fatigue resistance and flexibility of NiTi endodontic instruments. In addition, new kinematics have been developed to offer greater safety and efficiency. This narrative review describes the general properties and manufacturing of NiTi instruments, and the mechanical system evolution of NiTi instruments.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the NaOCl-mediated biofunctionalization of titanium surfaces. Titanium disks stored for 2 weeks were immersed in 5% NaOCl solution for 24 h. A disk immersed in distilled water for 24 h was used as a control. X-ray photoelectron spectrometer assay of the titanium surface after NaOCl treatment demonstrated that organic contaminants containing carbon and nitrogen were removed and the number of hydroxyl groups increased. The NaOCl treatment substantially converted the titanium surface to superhydrophilic status (θ<5°), which resulted in an increased number of attached cells and enhanced cell spreading on the NaOCl-treated surfaces. These results indicate that biofunctionalization of the biologically degraded titanium surfaces can be achieved by chemical surface treatment with 5% NaOCl. The mechanism for desorption of strongly adsorbed organic molecules with polar groups such as amino and aldehyde groups from titanium surfaces by ClO- was elucidated.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to improve the cytocompatibility and differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells on the surface of titanium implants by immobilizing biofunctional molecules on their surface. Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (GRGDS) peptides, human plasma fibronectin (pFN), or type I collagen from calf skin (Col) was covalently immobilized on the titanium surfaces. Twice as many cells attached to the Col- and pFN-immobilized titanium surfaces than attached to the as-polished surface control. The ALP activity of the cells, as well as the mineralized nodule formation, was significantly higher on the Col- and pFN-immobilized titanium surfaces than on the as-polished surfaces. These results indicate that the immobilization of biofunctional molecules such as Col and pFN on titanium surfaces enhances the attachment, spreading, proliferation, and differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells, which may lead to a more rapid bone-titanium integration.

Abstract
Prosthetic implants are used daily to treat edentulous people and to restore mobility in patients affected by skeletal defects. Titanium (Ti) is the material of choice in prosthetics, because it can form a stable bond with the surrounding bone following implantation-a process known as osseointegration. Yet, full integration of prosthetic implants takes time, and fails in clinical situations characterized by limited bone quantity and/or compromised regenerative capacity, and in at-risk patients. Intense research efforts are thus made to develop new implants that are cost-effective, safe, and suited to every patient in each clinical situation. In this study, we tested the possibility to functionalize Ti implants using stem cells. Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal progenitor (iPSC-MP) cells were cultured on Ti model disks for 2 weeks in osteogenic conditions. Samples were then treated using four different decellularization methods to wash off the cells and expose the matrix. The functionalized disks were finally sterilized and seeded with fresh human iPSC-MP cells to study the effect of stem cell-mediated surface functionalization on cell behavior. The results show that different decellularization methods produce diverse surface modifications, and that these modifications promote proliferation of human iPSC-MP cells, affect the expression of genes involved in development and differentiation, and stimulate the release of alkaline phosphatase. Cell-mediated functionalization represents an attractive strategy to modify the surface of prosthetic implants with cues of biological relevance, and opens unprecedented possibilities for development of new devices with enhanced therapeutic potential.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to improve the adhesion and extension of human gingival epithelial cells (HGECs) to the yttria-stabilized zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) surfaces by immobilization of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). Surface analyses by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that IGF-1 was successfully immobilized on the Y-TZP surfaces. There was no significant difference between the number of cells attached to the IGF-1-immobilized Y-TZP surfaces and on the as-polished Y-TZP surfaces either at 3 or 72 h. However, IGF-1-immobilized Y-TZP surfaces yielded a significantly higher expression of integrin β4 mRNA and laminin-5 mRNA, and enhanced adhesion strength of HGECs after 72 h of incubation. There was no difference between the amount of adhered Streptococcus gordonii (S. gordonii) found on the IGF-1-immobilized Y-TZP surfaces and on the as-polished Y-TZP surfaces. These results suggested that the IGF-1-immobilized Y-TZP surfaces developed using the method reported herein enhanced the adhesion and extension of HGECs to the Y-TZP surfaces without enhancing S. gordonii adhesion.

Abstract
Biomimetic calcium phosphate coatings have been developed for bone regeneration and repair because of their biocompatibility, osteoconductivity, and easy preparation. They can be rendered osteoinductive by incorporating an osteogenic agent, such as bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), into the crystalline lattice work in physiological situations. The biomimetic calcium phosphate coating enables a controlled, slow and local release of BMP-2 when it undergoes cell mediated coating degradation induced by multinuclear cells, such as osteoclasts and foreign body giant cells, which mimics a physiologically similar release mode, to achieve sustained ectopic or orthotopic bone formation. Therefore, biomimetic calcium phosphate coatings are considered to be a promising delivery vehicle for osteogenic agents. In this review, we present an overview of biomimetic calcium phosphate coatings including their preparation techniques, physico-chemical properties, potential as drug carrier, and their pre-clinical application both in ectopic and orthotopic animal models. We briefly review some features of hydroxyapatite coatings and their clinical applications to gain insight into the clinical applications of biomimetic calcium phosphate coatings in the near future.

Abstract
In this paper, the corrosion resistance of laser-welded composite arch wire (CoAW) with Cu interlayer between NiTi shape memory alloy and stainless steel wire in artificial saliva with different concentrations of protein was studied. It was found that protein addition had a significant influence on the corrosion behavior of CoAW. Low concentration of protein caused the corrosion resistance of CoAW decrease in electrochemical corrosion and immersion corrosion tests. High concentration of protein could reduce this effect.

Abstract
The osseointegration rate of implants is related to their composition and surface roughness. Implant roughness favors both bone anchoring and biomechanical stability. Osteoconductive calcium phosphate (Ca-P) coatings promote bone healing and apposition, leading to the rapid biological fixation of implants. It has been clearly shown in many publications that Ca-P coating accelerates bone formation around the implant. This review discusses two main routes for the manufacturing of polymer-based osteoconductive scaffolds for tissue engineering, namely the incorporation of bioceramic particles in the scaffold and the coating of a scaffold with a thin layer of apatite through a biomimetic process.

Abstract
The present study was aimed to evaluate the viability and total protein contents of osteoblast-like cells on the titanium surface with different surface mechanical treatment, namely, nanometer smoothing (Ra: approximately 2.0 nm) and sandblasting (Ra: approximately 1.0 μm), and biochemical treatment, namely, with or without fibronectin immobilization. Fibronectin could be easily immobilized by tresyl chloride-activation technique. MC3T3-E1 cells were seeded on the different titanium surfaces. Cell viability was determined by MTT assay. At 1 day of cell culture, there were no significant differences in cell viability among four different titanium surfaces. At 11 days, sandblasted titanium surface with fibronectin immobilization showed the significantly highest cell viability than other titanium surface. No significant differences existed for total protein contents among four different titanium surfaces at 11 days of cell culture. Scanning electron microscopy observation revealed that smoothness of titanium surface produced more spread cell morphologies, but that fibronectin immobilization did not cause any changes of the morphologies of attached cells. Fibronectin immobilization provided greater amount of the number of attached cells and better arrangement of attached cells. In conclusion, the combination of sandblasting and fibronectin immobilization enhanced the cell viability and fibronectin immobilization providing better arrangements of attached cells.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of mechanical treatment, namely, nanometer smoothing (Ra: approximately 2.0 nm) and sandblasting (Ra: approximately 1.0 μm), as well as biochemical treatment, namely, fibronectin immobilization, of a titanium surface on osteoblast-like cell behavior. Cell proliferation was monitored by measurements of DNA content and ALP activity; osteocalcin production and mineralization behavior were also evaluated, in addition to morphological observation of attached cells. Fibronectin could be immobilized by the tresyl chloride-activation method. A sandblasted surface resulted in significantly more DNA than a nanometer-smooth surface, but fibronectin immobilization did not result in a significant increase of DNA at 52 days of cell culture. The nanometer-smooth surface showed highest ALP activity and osteocalcin production. FN immobilization decreased ALP activity for the nanometer-smooth surface, but increased it for the sandblasted surface. The nanometer-smooth surface also showed the highest osteocalcin production. Scanning electron microscopy showed interesting phenomena of the attached cells. Attached cell area was more rapidly increased on the nanometer-smooth surface than on the sandblasted surface. It was suggested that cultured cells on the nanometer-smooth surface began to spread earlier and that the proportion of spreading cells among total attached cells increased sooner on the nanometer-smooth surface than on the sandblasted rough surface. It appeared that FN immobilization influenced the arrangement of attached cells. In conclusion, the nanometer-smooth surface employed in the present study was beneficial for the differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. FN immobilization influenced the morphologies of attached cells.

Abstract
Among various dental materials and their successful applications, a dental implant is a good example of the integrated system of science and technology involved in multiple disciplines including surface chemistry and physics, biomechanics, from macro-scale to nano-scale manufacturing technologies and surface engineering. As many other dental materials and devices, there are crucial requirements taken upon on dental implants systems, since surface of dental implants is directly in contact with vital hard/soft tissue and is subjected to chemical as well as mechanical bio-environments. Such requirements should, at least, include biological compatibility, mechanical compatibility, and morphological compatibility to surrounding vital tissues. In this review, based on carefully selected about 500 published articles, these requirements plus MRI compatibility are firstly reviewed, followed by surface texturing methods in details. Normally dental implants are placed to lost tooth/teeth location(s) in adult patients whose skeleton and bony growth have already completed. However, there are some controversial issues for placing dental implants in growing patients. This point has been, in most of dental articles, overlooked. This review, therefore, throws a deliberate sight on this point. Concluding this review, we are proposing a novel implant system that integrates materials science and up-dated surface technology to improve dental implant systems exhibiting bio- and mechano-functionalities.

Abstract
Biofouling of all structures immersed in seawater constitutes an important problem, and many strategies are currently being developed to tackle it. In this context, our previous work shows that poly(ethylene glycol) monoacrylate (PEGA) macromonomer grafted on preoxidized poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMAox) films exhibits an excellent repellency against the bovine serum albumin used as a model protein. This study aims to evaluate the following: (1) the prevention of a marine extract material adsorption by the modified surfaces and (2) the antifouling property of the PEGA-g-PMMAox substrates when immersed in natural seawater during two seasons (season 1: end of April-beginning of May 2007, and season 2: end of October-beginning of November 2007). The antifouling performances of the PEGA-g-PMMAox films are investigated for different PEG chain lengths and macromonomer concentrations into the PEGA-based coatings. These two parameters are followed as a function of the immersion time, which evolves up to 14 days. The influence of the PEGA layer on marine compounds (proteins and phospholipids) adsorption is evidenced by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was found that the antifouling efficiency of the PEGA-grafted surfaces increases with both PEGA concentration and PEG chain length.

Abstract
NiTi foams are unique among biocompatible porous metals because of their high recovery strain (due to the shape-memory or superelastic effects) and their low stiffness facilitating integration with bone structures. To optimize NiTi foams for bone implant applications, two key areas are under active study: synthesis of foams with optimal architectures, microstructure and mechanical properties; and tailoring of biological interactions through modifications of pore surfaces. This article reviews recent research on NiTi foams for bone replacement, focusing on three specific topics: (i) surface modifications designed to create bio-inert porous NiTi surfaces with low Ni release and corrosion, as well as bioactive surfaces to enhance and accelerate biological activity; (ii) in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility studies to confirm the long-term safety of porous NiTi implants; and (iii) biological evaluations for specific applications, such as in intervertebral fusion devices and bone tissue scaffolds. Possible future directions for bio-performance and processing studies are discussed that could lead to optimized porous NiTi implants.

Abstract
Fibronectin (FN) can be immobilized directly on titanium surfaces using tresyl chloride activation technique. The key advantage of tresyl chloride activation technique lies in its simplicity. In this study, we examined the cell attachment and gene expression of MC3T3-E1 cells on FN-immobilized titanium using GeneChip. Cells attached on FN-immobilized titanium at a higher rate than untreated titanium. FN altered the gene expression profile, whereby 62 genes were found to be up-regulated, while 56 genes were found to down-regulate to over twice the level on day 14. FN not only enhanced the expression levels of IBSP and OMD, but also decreased SULF1 mRNA level. Taken together, the immobilization of FN on tresylated titanium promoted early matrix mineralization and bone formation.

Abstract
Surface modification enables the creation of bioactive implants using traditional material substrates without altering the mechanical properties of the bulk material. For applications such as bone plates and stents, it is desirable to modify the surface of metal alloy substrates to facilitate cellular attachment, proliferation, and possibly differentiation. In this work we present a general strategy for altering the surface chemistry of nickel-titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloy in order to covalently attach self-assembled peptide amphiphile (PA) nanofibers with bioactive functions. Bioactivity in the systems studied here includes biological adhesion and proliferation of osteoblast and endothelial cell types. The optimized surface treatment creates a uniform TiO(2) layer with low levels of Ni on the NiTi surface, which is subsequently covered with an aminopropylsilane coating using a novel, lower temperature vapor deposition method. This method produces an aminated surface suitable for covalent attachment of PA molecules containing terminal carboxylic acid groups. The functionalized NiTi surfaces have been characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy (ToF-SIMS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). These techniques offer evidence that the treated metal surfaces consist primarily of TiO(2) with very little Ni, and also confirm the presence of the aminopropylsilane overlayer. Self-assembled PA nanofibers presenting the biological peptide adhesion sequence Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser are capable of covalently anchoring to the treated substrate, as demonstrated by spectrofluorimetry and AFM techniques. Cell culture and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) demonstrate cellular adhesion, spreading, and proliferation on these functionalized metal surfaces. Furthermore, these experiments demonstrate that covalent attachment is crucial for creating robust PA nanofiber coatings, leading to confluent cell monolayers.

Abstract
One major weakness that all cardiovascular replacements have in common is the lack of endothelial cell (EC) growth and post-implant remodeling of the device. The emerging field of tissue engineering focuses on the in vitro generation of functional organ replacements using living endothelial cells and other vascular cells for which nondegradable or biodegradable scaffold base materials are used. In this paper, it is demonstrated that some of the cardiovascular device materials in clinical use lack the ability to promote endothelial cell growth in vitro. We previously established a biomimetic matrix composition which supports the growth of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) while maintaining normal physiology in vitro. Here the effectiveness of the same coating to preserve the normal antithrombotic phenotype of endothelial cells grown on biomaterials was evaluated. The up/down-regulation of two prothrombotic and two antithrombotic molecules by HUVECs grown on bare material surfaces were compared with that on composite-coated materials. The suitability of this approach for blood-contacting applications was investigated by in vitro blood compatibility studies as recommended in ISO10993 part 4, by putting an EC-seeded surface in contact with human whole blood. It is demonstrated that EC-seeded bare material surfaces are prothrombotic, whereas surfaces pre-coated with biomimetic molecules facilitated maintenance of the normal EC phenotype and reduced the risk of platelet adhesion and activation of blood coagulation. The results presented here suggest that matrix composed of biomimetic adhesive proteins and growth factors is suitable for cardiovascular tissue engineering to improve biological function, irrespective of the material chosen to meet the mechanical properties of the device.

Abstract
Titan (TiO2) was modified with photoreactive gelatin in order to regulate the attachment of cells. Photoreactive gelatin, which was synthesized by the coupling reaction of gelatin with N-(4-azidobenzoyloxy) succinimide, was immobilized onto the n-octadecyltrimethoxysilane (ODS)-TiO2 or TiO2 surface by ultraviolet irradiation both in the absence and presence of a photo mask. In the absence of a photo mask, the modified titan surface was analyzed by measuring water contact angles and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The result showed that ODS hydrophobilized the titan surface, and that the immobilization of gelatin affected the surface's hydrophilicity. XPS shows that titan was covered with organic material, including ODS and gelatin. With the photo mask in place, micropatterning of the gelatin was performed. This pattern was confirmed by optical microscopy and time-of-flight secondary ion-mass spectroscopy (TOF-SIMS). Monkey COS-7 epithelial cells were cultured on the unpattern- and pattern-immobilized plate. A significantly higher degree of cell attachment was found on the photoreactive gelatin-immobilized regions than on those that were not immobilized. It was concluded that the cellular pattern on titan was regulated by immobilized photoreactive gelatin.

Abstract
The incidence of thrombogenesis and occlusion of cardiovascular implants is likely to be reduced by endothelial cell (EC) growth promotion on biomaterials used for device fabrication. However, proper signaling between the matrix proteins deposited on the device surface and the cells grown on it is a prime requirement for growth and function. It was demonstrated earlier that a composition of matrix proteins that include fibrin, fibronectin, gelatin, and growth factors maintain a steady proliferation potential and prolong the survival of endothelial cells in vitro. In this study, assessment of the same matrix to prevent EC from dedifferentiation during in vitro culture and to promote endothelialization of biomaterials used for fabrication of cardiovascular implants is carried out. Up/down regulation of m-RNA expression for a prothrombotic molecule-plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI), and two antithrombotic molecules- nitric oxide synthetase (eNOS) and tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) are chosen as the indicators of cell dedifferentiation during cell culture and passaging. Immunostaining for vinculin and actin demonstrated that composite coating on biomaterials improves focal adhesion and cytoskeletal organization that increases the quality of EC grown on it. EC proliferation, measured by (3)H-thymidine uptake, on all bare materials was poor and high incidence of cell apoptosis was noticed within 72 h in culture, whereas once coated with composite all materials showed good proliferation and survival. The results suggest that the designed composition of biomimetic adhesive proteins and growth factors is suitable for EC growth, survival, and functional integrity, thus making it suitable for cardiovascular tissue engineering that requires in vitro EC culture.

Abstract
This study examined the influences of titanium (Ti) discs with similar surface roughnesses (R(a) values), but with different topographies and chemical compositions, on the adhesion, spreading, and the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of osteoblast-like cells and normal human fibroblasts. The presence of adhesion molecules on the Ti surfaces and their effects on cell activity were also investigated. Two types of Ti discs were prepared. One kind was a mechanically polished Ti disc, and the other type was a disc obtained by the heating of hydroxyapatite (HA) dip-coated Ti. Scanning electron microscopy, optical interferometry, and scanning Auger electron spectroscopy were used to examine the surface morphology, roughness, and chemical composition, respectively, of the superficial Ti layer. The two types of Ti discs had different topographies and chemical compositions, but had similar R(a) values. The cells on both surface types had similar behaviors and ALP activities. A biological evaluation of the surface-modified Ti discs showed that the type I collagen coating was functionally active in terms of cell spreading in both types of Ti discs. In the mechanically polished Ti discs, fibronectin was functionally active in the normal human fibroblasts, but not in the osteoblast-like cells. Cell adhesion was slightly better on the heat-treated HA dip-coated Ti discs, but not on the mechanically polished Ti discs. Type I collagen and fibronectin mediated the adhesion and spreading of osteoblast-like cells through alpha2beta1 integrin and alpha5beta1 integrin, respectively. These results suggest that type I collagen might be a good candidate for the biochemical modification of Ti surfaces, particularly those surfaces obtained by heating of HA dip-coated Ti.

Abstract
Plasma polymerized hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) thin film was deposited onto titanium using a radio-frequency apparatus for the surface modification of titanium. A titanium disk was first polished using colloidal silica at pH=9.8. Plasma-polymerized HMDSO films were firmly attached to the titanium by heating the titanium to a temperature of approximately 250 degrees C. The thickness of the deposited film was 0.07-0.35mum after 10-60min of plasma polymerization. The contact angle with respect to double distilled water significantly increased after HMDSO coating. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that the deposited thin film consisted of Si, C, and O atoms. No Ti peaks were observed on the deposited surface. The deposited HMDSO film was stable during 2-weeks immersion in phosphate buffer saline solution. Fourier transform reflection-absorption spectroscopy showed the formation of Si-H, Si-C, C-H, and Cz.dbnd6;O bonds in addition to Si-O-Si bonds. Quartz crystal microbalance-dissipation measurement demonstrated that the deposition of HMDSO thin films on titanium has a benefit for fibronectin adsorption at the early stage. In conclusion, plasma polymerization is a promising technique for the surface modification of titanium. HMDSO-coated titanium has potential application as a dental implant material.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to bind fibronectin directly to a titanium surface treated with tresyl chloride (2,2,2-trifluoroethanesulfonyl chloride) for the development of a strong connection of a dental implant to subepithelial connective tissues and/or peri-implant epithelia. Basic terminal OH groups of mirror polished titanium were allowed to react with tresyl chloride at 37 degrees C for 2 days. The tresylated titanium disk was then immersed into a fibronectin/phosphate-buffered saline solution for 24 h at 37 degrees C. The activation reaction of the basic OH of titanium with tresyl chloride was confirmed by S2p, F1s, and O1s spectra using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and -O-S-O2- bonds using Fourier transform infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy. After the reaction of fibronectin with titanium, the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed the remarkable effect of the activation of terminal OH groups with the tresyl chloride treatment. The N1s peak derived from the attached fibronectin still remained after 60 s of argon-ion sputtering after tresyl chloride treatment. In contrast, the N1s peak of the specimen not treated with tresyl chloride almost disappeared after only 10 s of argon-ion etching. Fibronectin, a well-known cell-adhesive protein, could easily be attached to the titanium surface by use of the tresyl chloride activation technique.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of several methods of cleaning titanium surfaces as pretreatment for surface modifications by analyzing the chemical interaction of three acids, such as Na(2)S(2)O(8),H(2)SO(4) and HCl, followed by rinsing with acetone or ultrapure water. Chemical evaluation, using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and mechanical evaluation, using nanoindentation, were employed. XPS revealed that an untreated Ti surface consisted of carbon- and nitrogen-containing contaminant and titanium oxide layer on metallic titanium substrate. The method involving the combination of 10 N HCl and acetone was the most effective of all the methods investigated. Such a combination most effectively reduced values of contamination parameters C/Ti and N/Ti, as well as the intensity of the titanium oxide component in Ti 2p spectra. Chlorine was barely detected from the surface treated with HCl in any concentration. Sulfur from the residual S(2)O(8)(2-) or SO(4)(2-), however, was detected from the samples treated with either Na(2)S(2)O(8) or H(2)SO(4). The S/Ti values depended on concentration of the acidic solution. In addition, nanoindentation measurements revealed that Young's modulus of the surface treated with 0.1-10 N HCl was not significantly different from that of an untreated surface (p > 0.05). Consequently, the HCl/acetone treatment is proposed as an excellent decontamination method for the surface preparation process of Ti.

Abstract
Metal implants are in general not compatible with the tissues of the human body, and in particular, blood exhibits a severe hemostatic response. Herein we present results of a technique to mask the surface of metals with a natural biopolymer, hyaluronan (HA). HA has minimal adverse interactions with blood and other tissues, but attachment of bioactive peptides can promote specific biological interactions. In this study, stainless steel was cleaned and then surface-modified by covalent attachment of an epoxy silane. The epoxy was subsequently converted to an aldehyde functional group and reacted with hyaluronan through an adipic dihydrazide linkage, thus covalently immobilizing the HA onto the steel surface. Fluorescent labeling of the HA showed that the surface had a fairly uniform covering of HA. When human platelet rich plasma was placed on the HA-coated surface, there was no observable adhesion of platelets. HA derivatized with a peptide containing the RGD peptide sequence was also bound to the stainless steel. The RGD-containing peptide was bioactive as exemplified by the attachment and spreading of platelets on this surface. Furthermore, when the RGD peptide was replaced with the nonsense RDG sequence, minimal adhesion of platelets was observed. This type of controlled biological activity on a metal surface has potential for modulating cell growth and cellular interactions with metallic implants, such as vascular stents, orthopedic implants, heart valve cages, and more.

Abstract
Immobilization of biomolecules on surfaces enables both localization and retention of molecules at the cell-biomaterial interface. Since metallic biomaterials used for orthopedic and dental implants possess a paucity of reactive functional groups, biomolecular modification of these materials is challenging. In the present work, we investigated the use of a plasma surface modification strategy to enable immobilization of bioactive molecules on a "bioinert" metal. Conditions during plasma polymerization of allyl amine on Ti-6Al-4V were varied to yield 5 ("low")- and 12 ("high")-NH2/nm2. One- and two-step carbodiimide schemes were used to immobilize lysozyme, a model biomolecule, and bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) on the aminated surfaces. Both schemes could be varied to control the amount of protein bound, but the one-step method destroyed the activity of immobilized lysozyme because of crosslinking. BMP-4 was then immobilized using the two-step scheme. Although BMP bound to both low- and high-NH2 surfaces was initially able to induce alkaline phosphatase activity in pluripotent C3H10T1/2 cells, only high amino group surfaces were effective following removal of weakly bound protein by incubation in cell culture medium.

Abstract
Glass, nitinol, and pyrolytic carbon surfaces were grafted with poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) and PEO-containing Pluronic surfactants by gamma irradiation. These substrates were coated with a primer layer of trichlorovinylsilane (TCVS), which allows grafting of organic polymers. The TCVS-coated substrates were adsorbed with PEO or Pluronics and exposed to 0.3 Mrad of gamma radiation to graft the polymer to the surface. PEO-grafted substrates were characterized by contact angle measurement, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, fibrinogen adsorption, and platelet adhesion and activation. Surface modification with PEO reduced fibrinogen adsorption by as much as 99%. Platelet adhesion was significnatly reduced or prevented on the modified surfaces. Protein- and platelet-resistance effects were independent of hydrophilicity of the PEO-grafted surfaces. Polymer grafting by gamma radiation to TCVS-coated substrates provides a facile process to improve thromboresistance of inorganic biomaterials.

Abstract
Surface-grafted poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) molecules are known to prevent protein adsorption to the surface. The protein-repulsive property of PEG molecules are maximized by covalent grafting. We have synthesized silanated monomethoxy-PEG (m-PEG) for covalent grafting of PEG to surfaces with oxide layers. Two different trialkoxysilylated PEGs were synthesized and characterized. The first trialkoxysilylated PEG was prepared by direct coupling of m-PEG with 3-isocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane through a urethane bond (silanated PEG I). The other silanated PEG (silanated PEG II) containing a long hydrophobic domain between PEG and a silane domain was prepared by reacting m-PEG with 1,6-diisocyanatohexane and 10-undecen-1-ol in sequence before silylation with 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane. Silanated PEGs I and II were grafted onto glass, a model surface used in our study. The PEG-grafted glass surfaces were characterized by contact angle, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Although contact angle did not change much as the bulk concentration of silanated PEG used for grafting increased from 0.1 to 20 mg/ml for both PEGs I and II, the surface atomic concentrations from XPS measurements showed successful PEG grafting. Surface PEG grafting increased concentration of surface carbon but decreased silicone concentration. The high resolution C1s spectra showed higher ether carbon with lower hydrocarbon compositions for the PEG-grafted surfaces compared to the control surface. AFM images showed that more PEG molecules were grafted onto the surface as the bulk concentration used for grafting was increased. AFM images of the dried surfaces showed that the surfaces were not completely covered by PEG molecules. After hydration, however, the surface appears to be covered completely probably due to the hydration of the grafted PEG chains. Glass surfaces modified with silanated PEGs reduced fibrinogen adsorption by more than 95% as compared with the control surface. Silanated PEGs provides a simple method for PEG grafting to the surface containing oxide layers.

Abstract
A goal of current implantology research is to design devices that induce controlled, guided, and rapid healing. In addition to acceleration of normal wound healing phenomena, endosseous implants should result in formation of a characteristic interfacial layer and bone matrix with adequate biomechanical properties. To achieve these goals, however, a better understanding of events at the interface and of the effects biomaterials have on bone and bone cells is needed. Such knowledge is essential for developing strategies to optimally control osseointegration. This paper reviews current knowledge of the bone-biomaterial interface and methods being investigated for controlling it. Morphological studies have revealed the heterogeneity of the bone-implant interface. One feature often reported, regardless of implant material, is an afibrillar interfacial zone, comparable to cement lines and laminae limitantes at natural bone interfaces. These electron-dense interfacial layers are rich in noncollagenous proteins, such as osteopontin and bone sialoprotein. Several approaches, involving alteration of surface physicochemical, morphological, and/or biochemical properties, are being investigated in an effort to obtain a desirable bone-implant interface. Of particular interest are biochemical methods of surface modification, which immobilize molecules on biomaterials for the purpose of inducing specific cell and tissue responses or, in other words, to control the tissue-implant interface with biomolecules delivered directly to the interface. Although still in its infancy, early studies indicate the value of this methodology for controlling cell and matrix events at the bone-implant interface.
