Abstract
The major problem in bone tissue engineering is the development of scaffolds which can simultaneously meet the requirements of porous structure, as well as have the ability to guide the regeneration of damaged tissue by biological fixation. Composites containing biodegradable matrix and bioactive filler are the new hope in this research field. Herein we employed a simple and facile solvent casting particulate-leaching method for producing polylactide acid/hydroxyapatite (PLA/HA) composites at room temperature. FT-IR analysis confirmed the existence of necessary functional groups associated with the PLA/HA composite, whereas energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectra indicated the uniform distribution of hydroxyapatite particles in the polymer matrix. The beehive-like surface morphology of the composites revealed the presence of macropores, ranged from 300 to 400 μm, whereas the thickness of the pores was noticed to be 1-2 μm. The total porosity of the scaffolds, calculated by hydrostatic weighing, was found to be 79%. The water contact angle of pure PLA was decreased from 83.6 ± 1.91° to 62.4 ± 4.17° due to the addition of hydroxyapatite in the polymer matrix. Thus, the wettability of the polymeric biomaterial could be increased by preparing their composites with hydroxyapatite. The adhesion of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells over the surface of PLA/HA scaffolds was 3.2 times (p = 0.03) higher than the pure PLA sample. Subcutaneous implantation in mice demonstrated a good tolerance of all tested porous scaffolds and widespread ingrowth of tissue into the implant pores. HA-containing scaffolds showed a less pronounced inflammatory response after two weeks of implantation compared to pure PLA. These observations suggest that PLA/HA composites have enormous potential for hard tissue engineering and restoring maxillofacial defects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Great interest has recently been focused on tooth and tooth derivatives as suitable substrates for the treatment of alveolar bone defects. Here, we propose the use of demineralized baby teeth (BT) as potential grafting materials for bone augmentation procedures. METHODS Particles of human BT (Ø < 1 mm) were demineralized by means of a chemical/thermal treatment. Demineralized BT particles were thoroughly characterized by scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray analyses to evaluate the effects of the demineralization on BT topography and mineral phase composition, and by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) to quantify collagen and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) protein contents. The response of SAOS-2 cells to exogenous BMP-2 stimulation was evaluated to identify the minimum BMP-2 concentration able to induce osteodifferentiation in vitro (alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity). RESULTS The demineralization treatment led to a dramatic decrease in relative Ca and P content (%) of ≈75% with respect to the native BT particles, while preserving native protein conformation and activity. Interestingly, the demineralization process led to a rise in the bioavailability of BMP-2 in BT particles, as compared to the untreated counterparts. The BMP-2 content found in demineralized BT was also proved to be very effective in enhancing ALP activity, thus in the osteodifferentiation of SAOS-2 cells in vitro, as confirmed by cell experiments performed upon exogenously added BMP-2. CONCLUSIONS In this study we demonstrate that the BMP-2 content found in demineralized BT is very effective in inducing cell osteodifferentiation, and strengthens the idea that BTs are very attractive bioactive materials for bone-grafting procedures.

Risk factors for failure in early prosthetic joint infection treated with debridement. Influence of etiology and antibiotic treatment. J Appl Biomater Funct Mater 2014; 12:129-34. [PMID: 25199072 DOI: 10.5301/jabfm.5000209] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 12/05/2013] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSES The aim of the present study was to evaluate the importance of isolated microorganisms according to the Gram stain and the type of antibiotic received on the outcome of early prosthetic joint infection (PJI) treated with debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR). METHODS From January 1999 to December 2009, all patients with an early PJI were prospectively registered in a database and they were retrospectively reviewed for this study. RESULTS During the study period, 160 patients met the inclusion criteria of the study. After a mean (SD) post-debridement follow-up of 5.2 (2.5) years, 117 patients (73.1%) were considered to be in remission and 43 (26.9%) were classified as failure. Variables associated with failure were liver cirrhosis (66.7% vs. 22.8%, p=0.001), diagnosis within the first 30 days from arthroplasty (30.4% vs. 8.0%, p=0.020), C-reactive protein (CRP) >12 mg/dl (46.7% vs. 21.2%, p=0.005), microorganism isolated in all deep samples (31.1% vs. 16.0%, p=0.047) and Gram-negative (GN) infection not treated with a fluoroquinolone (57.1% vs. 20.0%, P=0.004). Gram-positive (GP) infection not treated with rifampin was close to be statistically significantly associated with failure (34.4% vs. 19.2%, p=0.067). A multivariate analysis identified liver cirrhosis (OR: 12.4 CI95%: 3.1-49.7, p<0.001), CRP-value (OR: 1.06 CI95%: 1.0-1.11, p=0.049), and when a GN-infection was not treated with a fluoroquinolone (OR: 6.5, CI95%: 1.8-23.8, p=0.005) as independent predictors of failure. CONCLUSION The remission rate of PJI treated with DAIR after 3 years of follow-up was 73%. The main predictors of failure were liver cirrhosis, the selected antibiotic most specially fluoroquinolones for GN and rifampin for GP infections, the C-reactive protein and the number of samples culture positive as a potential surrogate markers of bacterial density.

Adherence of S. epidermidis on different metals. A comparative in vitro study. J Appl Biomater Funct Mater 2014; 12:141-4.

Abstract
AIM Staphylococcus epidermidis is the most common cause of orthopedic infections. Adhesion and biofilm formation on orthopedic implant surfaces play an important role in the physiopathology of these infections. The aim of our study was to evaluate the adhesion of S. epidermidis on the surface of metals usually used in orthopedics. METHODS Previously sterilized circular metal plates of titanium (Ti), porous titanium (p-Ti), cobalt chromium (CoCr) and stainless steel (SS) were hung completely submerged in a liquid medium with a known concentration of S. epidermidis (RP62A). They were incubated for 1 h or 24 h at 36°C. After incubation, each plate was washed with PBS and sonicated during 5 minutes in 10 mL of saline. Different dilutions were performed and 100 µL from each sample was cultured on agar plates. RESULTS 26 metal plates were incubated for 1 h and other 55 metal plates for 24 h. The lowest bacterial count (cfu/mm2) at 1 h was observed in CoCr plates while in p-Ti it was 6 times higher. At 24 h the highest bacterial count was observed in SS plates while the lowest in Ti. However, these differences were not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS After 1 h and 24 h of exposure, the lowest adherence was observed in CoCr and Ti plates, respectively. However, bacterial attachment occurred with all materials. It is necessary to further investigate new materials able to avoid bacterial attachment.
