Abstract
In this study, an anatomical brushite-coated Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr alloy cage was fabricated for cervical fusion in goats. The purpose of this study was to investigate the cervical fusion effect and degradation characteristics of this cage in goats. The Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr alloy cage was fabricated based on anatomical studies, and brushite coating was prepared. Forty-five goats were divided into three groups, 15 in each group, and subjected to C2/3 anterior cervical decompression and fusion with tricortical bone graft, Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr alloy cage, or brushite-coated Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr alloy cage, respectively. Cervical radiographs and computed tomography (CT) were performed 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. Blood was collected for biocompatibility analysis and Mg2+ concentration tests. The cervical spine specimens were obtained at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively for biomechanical, micro-CT, scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy, laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and histological analysis. The liver and kidney tissues were obtained for hematoxylin and eosin staining 12 months after surgery for biosafety analysis. Imaging and histological analysis showed a gradual improvement in interbody fusion over time; the fusion effect of the brushite-coated Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr alloy cage was comparable to that of the tricortical bone graft, and both were superior to that of the Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr alloy cage. Biomechanical testing showed that the brushite-coated Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr alloy cage achieved better stability than the tricortical bone graft at 12 months postoperatively. Micro-CT showed that the brushite coating significantly decreases the corrosion rate of the Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr alloy cage. In vivo degradation analysis showed higher Ca and P deposition in the degradation products of the brushite-coated Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr alloy cage, and no hyperconcentration of Mg was detected. Biocompatibility analysis showed that both cages were safe for cervical fusion surgery in goats. To conclude, the anatomical brushite-coated Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr alloy cage can promote cervical fusion in goats, and the brushite-coated Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr alloy is a potential material for developing absorbable fusion cages.

Abstract
PURPOSE This research was performed to evaluate the relationship between hypertension (HTN) and abdominal obesity index in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS Totally 1657 participants with T2DM (mean age 54 ± 12 years; 38.02% female) were enrolled. They were divided into the groups of HTN (n = 775) and non-HTN (n = 882). Anthropometric and biochemical indicators were measured and collected. A bioelectrical impedance analyzer was used to measure visceral and subcutaneous fat areas. RESULTS Compared with the HTN group, the non-HTN group had a lower level of Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI) (p < 0.001). Meanwhile, among tertiles of CVAI, as CVAI increased, the proportion of patients with HTN increased, which was 33.51%, 44.30%, and 62.50%, respectively. CVAI was shown to have a significant positive correlation with HTN. (r = 0.258, p < 0.001). CVAI was independently related to an elevated risk of HTN by binary logistic regression analyses, and the OR was (95% CI) 1.013 (1.010-1.016, p < 0.001) after adjustment. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of CVAI predicted HTN in T2DM patients was greater than those of other abdominal obesity indices (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION We found that CVAI was highly positively correlated with HTN in T2DM. Compared with other indices of abdominal obesity, such as WC, BMI, WHR, VAI, and LAP, the CVAI showed superior discriminative ability in T2DM complicated with HTN. Therefore, more attention should be paid to CVAI in T2DM.

Abstract
Insufficient antibacterial effects and over-fast degradation are the main limitations of magnesium (Mg)-based orthopedic implants. In this study, a sandwiched composite coating containing a triclosan (TCS)-loaded poly(lactic acid) (PLA) layer inside and brushite (DCPD) layer outside was prepared on the surface of the Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr (denoted as JDBM) implant. In vitro degradation tests revealed a remarkable improvement in the corrosion resistance and moderate degradation rate. The drug release profile demonstrated a controllable and sustained TCS release for at least two weeks in vitro. The antibacterial rates of the implant were all over 99.8% for S. aureus, S. epidermidis, and E. coli, demonstrating superior antibacterial effects. Additionally, this coated JDBM implant exhibited no cytotoxicity but improved cell adhesion and proliferation, indicating excellent cytocompatibility. In vivo assays were conducted by implant-related femur osteomyelitis and osseointegration models in rats. Few bacteria were attached to the implant surface and the surrounding bone tissue. Furthermore, the coated JDBM implant exhibited more new bone formation than other groups due to the synergistic biological effects of released TCS and Mg2+, revealing excellent osteogenic ability. In summary, the JDBM implant with the sandwiched composite coating could significantly enhance the antibacterial activities and osteogenic properties simultaneously by the controllable release of TCS and Mg2+, presenting great potential for clinical transformation.

Abstract
Nonfouling surfaces are crucial in applications such as biosensors, medical implants, marine coatings, and drug delivery vehicles. However, their long-term coating stability and robust surface binding strength in physiological media remain challenging. Herein, a phosphonate-grafted, PEGylated copolymer on the hydroxyapatite (HA) surface is proposed to significantly improve the adsorption stability and thus enhance the biofunction durability accordingly. The phosphoryl (-PO3) grafted branch is employed in the functional polymer to facilitate attaching to the HA substrate. In addition, the polymer integrates the nonfouling polymer brushes of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) with the cell-adhesive moiety of cyclic Arg-Gly-Asp-d-Phe-Cys peptides (cRGD). A systematic study on the as-synthesized PEGylated graft copolymer indicates a synergistic binding mechanism of the NH2 and PO3 groups to HA, achieving a high surface coverage with desirable adsorption stability. The cRGD/PEGylated copolymers of optimized grafting architecture are proven to effectively adsorb to HA surfaces as a self-assembled copolymer monolayer, showing stability with minimal desorption even in a complex, physiological medium and effectively preventing nonspecific protein adsorption as examined with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D). Direct adhesion assays further confirm that the enhanced coating stability and biofunction durability of the phosphonate-grafted, cRGD-PEGylated copolymer can considerably promote osteoblast attachment on HA surfaces, meanwhile preventing microbial adhesion. This research has resulted in a solution of self-assembly polymer structure optimization that exhibits stable nonfouling characteristics.

Abstract
Soft materials bearing rigid, lightweight, and vibration-dampening properties offer distinct advantages over traditional wooden and metal-based fillings for spent fuel transport casks, due to their low density, tunable structure, excellent mechanical properties, and ease of processing. In this study, a novel type of rigid polyurethane foam is prepared using a conventional polycondensation reaction between isocyanate and hydroxy groups. Moreover, the density and size of the pores in these foams are precisely controlled through simultaneous gas generation. The as-prepared polyurethane exhibits high thermal stability exceeding 185 °C. Lifetime predictions based on thermal testing indicate that these polyurethane foams could last up to over 60 years, which is double the lifetime of conventional materials of about 30 years. Due to their occlusive structure, the mechanical properties of these polymeric materials meet the design standards for spent fuel transport casks, with maximum compression and tensile stresses of 6.89 and 1.37 MPa, respectively, at a testing temperature of -40 °C. In addition, these polymers exhibit effective flame retardancy; combustion ceased within 2 s after removal of the ignition source. All in all, this study provides a simple strategy for preparing rigid polymeric foams, presenting them as promising prospects for application in spent fuel transport casks.

Abstract
With the increasing and aging of global population, there is a dramatic rise in the demand for implants or substitutes to rehabilitate bone-related disorders which can considerably decrease quality of life and even endanger lives. Though titanium and its alloys have been applied as the mainstream material to fabricate implants for load-bearing bone defect restoration or temporary internal fixation devices for bone fractures, it is far from rare to encounter failed cases in clinical practice, particularly with pathological factors involved. In recent years, smart stimuli-responsive (SSR) strategies have been conducted to functionalize titanium implants to improve bone regeneration in pathological conditions, such as bacterial infection, chronic inflammation, tumor and diabetes mellitus, etc. SSR implants can exert on-demand therapeutic and/or pro-regenerative effects in response to externally applied stimuli (such as photostimulation, magnetic field, electrical and ultrasound stimulation) or internal pathology-related microenvironment changes (such as decreased pH value, specific enzyme secreted by bacterial and excessive production of reactive oxygen species). This review summarizes recent progress on the material design and fabrication, responsive mechanisms, and in vitro and in vivo evaluations for versatile clinical applications of SSR titanium implants. In addition, currently existing limitations and challenges and further prospective directions of these strategies are also discussed.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the benefits and risks of patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) treated with Absorb everolimus-eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) by analyzing all the published studies on the clinical characteristics of patients with PAD. MATERIALS AND METHODS PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched for relevant studies. Efficacy, safety, and basic characteristics were analyzed. RESULTS Four studies were included in meta-analysis, including a total number of 155 patients with PAD. The pooled overall primary patency, freedom from target lesion revascularization (TLR), symptom resolution, and wound healing were 90%, 96%, 94%, and 86%, respectively. The pooled perioperative complication and all-cause mortality were 4% and 9%, respectively. Preoperative total occlusion was detected in 43 of 192 lesions (22%). The mean lesion length was 27.26 mm. In terms of comorbidities, the pooled percentage of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, chronic kidney disease history, and smoking were 65%, 74%, 49%, 43%, 20%, and 57%, respectively. CONCLUSION Among these studies, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes mellitus were the most common comorbidities in patients with PAD. The Absorb everolimus-eluting BVS was safe and showed the favorable clinical outcomes in both patency and TLR, especially in infrapopliteal disease with heavy calcification. The conclusions of this meta-analysis still needed to be verified by more relevant studies with more careful design, more rigorous execution, and larger sample size.

Abstract
Biodegradable magnesium (Mg) alloys have been extensively investigated in orthopedic implants due to their suitable mechanical strength and high biocompatibility. However, no studies have reported whether Mg alloys can be used to repair lamina defects, and the biological mechanisms regulating osteogenesis are not fully understood. The present study developed a lamina reconstruction device using our patented biodegradable Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr alloy (JDBM), and brushite (CaHPO4·2H2O, Dicalcium phosphate dihydrate, DCPD) coating was developed on the implant. Through in vitro and in vivo experiments, we evaluated the degradation behavior and biocompatibility of DCPD-JDBM. In addition, we explored the potential molecular mechanisms by which it regulates osteogenesis. In vitro, ion release and cytotoxicity tests revealed that DCPD-JDBM had better corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. We found that DCPD-JDBM extracts could promote MC3T3-E1 osteogenic differentiation via the IGF2/PI3K/AKT pathway. The lamina reconstruction device was implanted on a rat lumbar lamina defect model. Radiographic and histological analysis showed that DCPD-JDBM accelerated the repair of rat lamina defects and exhibited lower degradation rate compared to uncoated JDBM. Immunohistochemical and qRT-PCR results showed that DCPD-JDBM promoted osteogenesis in rat laminae via IGF2/PI3K/AKT pathway. This study shows that DCPD-JDBM is a promising biodegradable Mg-based material with great potential for clinical applications.

Abstract
In this study, biomimetic porous magnesium alloy scaffolds were prepared to repair femoral bone defects in ovariectomized osteoporotic rats. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of biomimetic porous magnesium alloy scaffolds on repairing osteoporotic bone defects and possible mechanisms. The animal model of osteoporosis was established in female SD rats. Three months later, a bone defect of 3 mm in diameter and 3 mm in depth was created in the lateral condyle of the right femur. The rats were then randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group and a control group. Four weeks after surgery, gross specimens were observed and micro-CT scans were performed. The repair of osteoporotic femoral defects in rats was studied histologically using HE staining, Masson staining, and Goldner staining. The expression of Wnt5a, β-catenin, and BMP-2 was measured between groups by immunohistochemical staining. The bone defect was repaired better after the application of biomimetic porous magnesium alloy scaffolds. Immunohistochemical results showed significantly higher expression of Wnt5a, β-catenin, and BMP-2. To conclude, the biomimetic porous magnesium alloy scaffolds proposed in this paper might promote the repair of osteoporotic femoral bone defects in rats possibly through activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our study aimed to investigate the prevalence and demographic characteristics of immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated primary adrenal insufficiency (ICI-PAI) and to explore the risk factors of its clinical outcome using data from the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). METHODS This was a retrospective study. All cases of new-onset or newly diagnosed primary adrenal insufficiency associated with FDA-approved ICIs from 1 January 2007 to 31 December 2020 were identified and collected using FAERS. Data on age, sex category, body weight of the participating individuals, the reporting year and the prognosis of cases, and other accompanying endocrinopathies related to ICIs, were analysed. RESULTS The incidence of ICI-PAI was 1.03% (1180/114121). Of the 1180 cases of PAI, 46 were "confirmed PAI", and 1134 were "suspected PAI". Combination therapy with anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 was related to a higher risk of PAI compared with the anti-PD-1-only group (χ2 = 92.88, p < 0.001). Male and elderly individuals showed a higher risk of ICI-PAI (male vs. female, 1.17% vs. 0.94%, χ2 = 12.55, p < 0.001; age < 65 vs. ≥ 65, 1.20 vs. 1.41%, χ2 = 6.89, p = 0.009). The co-occurrence rate of endocrinopathies other than PAI was 24.3%, which showed a higher trend in patients on nivolumab-ipilimumab treatment than in those on PD-1 inhibitors (χ2 = 3.227, p = 0.072). Body weight was negatively associated with the risk of death in the study population [p = 0.033 for the regression model; B = - 0.017, OR 0.984, 95% CI (0.969-0.998), p = 0.029]. CONCLUSION ICI-associated PAI is a rare but important irAE. Male and elderly patients have a higher risk of ICI-PAI. Awareness among clinicians is critical when patients with a lower body weight develop PAI, which indicates a higher risk of a poor clinical outcome.

Abstract
PURPOSE Fibrosis is the only histological feature reflecting the severity and prognosis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). We aim to explore novel genes associated with fibrosis progression in NASH. METHODS Two human RNA-seq datasets were downloaded from the public database. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was used to identify their co-expressed modules and further bioinformatics analysis was performed to identify hub genes within the modules. Finally, based on two single-cell RNA-seq datasets from mice and one microarray dataset from human, we further observed the expression of hub genes in different cell clusters and liver tissues. RESULTS 7 hub genes (SPP1, PROM1, SOX9, EPCAM, THY1, CD34 and MCAM) associated with fibrosis progression were identified. Single-cell RNA-seq analysis revealed that those hub genes were expressed by different cell clusters such as cholangiocytes, natural killer (NK) cells, and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). We also found that SPP1 and CD34 serve as markers of different HSCs clusters, which are associated with inflammatory response and fibrogenesis, respectively. Further study suggested that SPP1, SOX9, MCAM and THY1 might be related to NASH-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that the high expression of these genes could well predict the occurrence of HCC. At the same time, there were significant differences in metabolism-related pathway changes between different HCC subtypes, and SOX9 may be involved in these changes. CONCLUSIONS The present study identified novel genes associated with NASH fibrosis and explored their effects on fibrosis from a single-cell perspective that might provide new ideas for the early diagnosis, monitoring, evaluation, and prediction of fibrosis progression in NASH.

Abstract
Dentin is a major mineralized component of teeth. Odontoblasts are responsible for synthesis and secretion of dentin matrix. Previously, it has been demonstrated in a cell culture system that the E3 ubiquitin ligase, murine double minute 2 (Mdm2), promotes odontoblast-like differentiation of mouse dental papilla cells (mDPCs) by ubiquitinating p53 and the odontoblast-specific substrate Dlx3. However, whether Mdm2 plays an essential role in vivo in odontoblast differentiation and dentin formation remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the in vivo functions of Mdm2 using Dmp1-Cre;Mdm2 flox/flox mice combined with multiple histological and molecular biological methods. The results showed that Mdm2 deletion in the odontoblast layer led to defects in odontoblast differentiation and dentin formation. Unexpectedly, specific inhibition of the Mdm2-p53 axis in wild-type mice by injection of a small-molecule inhibitor Nutlin-3a indicated that the role of Mdm2 in dentinogenesis was p53 independent, which was inconsistent with the previous in vitro study. In situ proximity ligation assay (PLA) showed that Mdm2 interacted with and ubiquitinated Dlx3 in the odontoblast nucleus of mouse molars. Dlx3 promoted the translocation of Mdm2 to the nucleus, and in turn, the nuclear Mdm2 mediated ubiquitination of Dlx3 and promoted the odontoblast-like differentiation of mDPCs. Dlx3 interacted with Mdm2 through its C-terminal domain. Deletion of the C-terminal domain of Dlx3 reversed the enhanced odontoblast-like differentiation and the activation of Dspp promoter mediated by overexpression of wild-type or nuclear Mdm2. Our findings suggest that nuclear Mdm2 mediates ubiquitination of the transcription factor Dlx3, which is essential for Dlx3 transcriptional activity on Dspp as well as subsequent odontoblast differentiation and dentin formation.

Abstract
Recently, zinc (Zn) alloy has been considered as a promising biodegradable material due to its excellent physiological degradable behavior and acceptable biocompatibility. However, poor mechanical performance limits its application as vascular stents. In this study, novel biodegradable Zn-2.2Cu-xMn (x = 0.4, 0.7, and 1.0 wt%) alloys with suitable mechanical performance were investigated. The effects of Mn addition on microstructure, mechanical properties, and in vitro degradation of Zn-2.2Cu-xMn alloys were systematically investigated. After adding Mn, dynamic recrystallization (DRX) during hot extrusion was promoted, resulting in slightly finer grain size, higher DRXed regions ratio, and weaker texture. And volume fraction and number density of second phase precipitates (micron, submicron, and nano-sized ε and MnZn13 phase) and the concentration of (Cu, Mn) in the matrix were increased. Therefore, Zn-2.2Cu-xMn alloys exhibited suitable mechanical performances (strength >310 MPa, elongation >30%) mainly due to the combination effects of grain refinement, solid solution strengthening, second phase precipitation hardening, and texture weakening. Moreover, the alloys maintained good stability of mechanical properties within 18 months and good elongation over 15% even at a high strain rate of 0.1 s-1. In addition, the alloys presented appropriate in vitro degradation rates in a basically uniform degradation mode and acceptable in vitro cytocompatibility. The above results indicated that the newly designed biodegradable Zn-2.2Cu-0.4Mn alloy with suitable comprehensive mechanical properties, appropriate degradation behavior, and acceptable cytocompatibility is a promising candidate for vascular stents.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a complex inflammatory disease affecting the supporting structures of teeth and is associated with systemic inflammatory disorders. Regulator of G-protein signaling 12 (RGS12), the largest protein in the RGS protein family, plays a crucial role in the development of inflammation and bone remodeling. However, the role and mechanism(s) by which RGS12 may regulate periodontitis have not been elucidated. Here, we showed that ablation of RGS12 in Mx1+ hematopoietic cells blocked bone loss in the ligature-induced periodontitis model, as evidenced morphometrically and by micro-computed tomography analysis of the alveolar bone. Moreover, hematopoietic cell-specific deletion of RGS12 inhibited osteoclast formation and activity as well as the production of inflammatory cytokines such as IL1β, IL6, and TNFα in the diseased periodontal tissue. In the in vitro experiments, we found that the overexpression of RGS12 promoted the reprogramming of macrophages to the proinflammatory M1 type, but not the anti-inflammatory M2 type, and enhanced the ability of macrophages for migration. Conversely, knockdown of RGS12 in macrophages inhibited the production of inflammatory cytokines and migration of macrophages in response to lipopolysaccharide stimulation. Our results demonstrate for the first time that inhibition of RGS12 in macrophages is a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of periodontitis.

Abstract
Additive manufacturing (AM) has enabled the fabrication of biodegradable porous metals to satisfy the desired characteristics for orthopedic applications. The geometrical design on AM biodegradable metallic scaffolds has been found to offer a favorable opportunity to regulate their mechanical and degradation performance in previous studies, however mostly confined to static responses. In this study, we presented the effect of the geometrical design on the dynamic responses of AM Mg scaffolds for the first time. Three different types of porous structures, based on various unit cells (i.e., biomimetic, diamond, and sheet-based gyroid), were established and then subjected to selective laser melting (SLM) process using group-developed Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr alloy (JDBM) powders. The topology after dynamic electropolishing, dynamic compressive properties, and dynamic biodegradation behavior of the AM Mg scaffolds were comprehensively evaluated. It was found that dynamic electropolishing effectively removed the excessive adhered powders on the surfaces and resulted in similar geometrical deviations amongst the AM Mg scaffolds, independent of their porous structures. The geometrical design significantly affected the compressive fatigue properties of the AM Mg scaffolds, of which the sheeted-based gyroid structure demonstrated a superior fatigue endurance limit of 0.85 at 106 cycles. Furthermore, in vitro dynamic immersion behaviors of the AM Mg scaffolds revealed a decent dependence on local architectures, where the sheeted-based gyroid scaffold experienced the lowest structural loss with a relatively uniform degradation mode. The obtained results indicate that the geometrical design could provide a promising strategy to develop desirable bone substitutes for the treatment of critical-size load-bearing defects. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Additive manufacturing (AM) has provided unprecedented opportunities to fabricate geometrically complex biodegradable scaffolds where the topological design becomes a key determinant on comprehensive performance. In this paper, we fabricate 3 AM biodegradable Mg scaffolds (i.e., biomimetic, diamond, and sheet-based gyroid) and report the effect of the geometrical design on the dynamic responses of AM Mg scaffolds for the first time. The results revealed that the sheeted-based gyroid scaffold exhibited the best combination of superior compressive fatigue properties and relatively uniform dynamic biodegradation mode, suggesting that the regulation of the porous structures could be an effective approach for the optimization of AM Mg scaffolds as to satisfy clinical requirements in orthopedic applications.

Abstract
Magnesium alloys are an ideal material for biodegradable vascular stents, which can be completely absorbed in the human body, and have good biosafety and mechanical properties. However, the rapid corrosion rate and excessive localized corrosion, as well as challenges in the preparation and processing of microtubes for stents, are restricting the clinical application of magnesium-based vascular stents. In the present work we will give an overview of the recent progresses on biodegradable magnesium based vascular stents including magnesium alloy design, high-precision microtubes processing, stent shape optimisation and functional coating preparation. In particular, the Triune Principle in biodegradable magnesium alloy design is proposed based on our research experience, which requires three key aspects to be considered when designing new biodegradable magnesium alloys for vascular stents application, i.e. biocompatibility and biosafety, mechanical properties, and biodegradation. This review hopes to inspire the future studies on the design and development of biodegradable magnesium alloy-based vascular stents.

Abstract
Vascular diseases are the most prevalent cause of ischemic necrosis of tissue and organ, which even result in dysfunction and death. Vascular regeneration or artificial vascular graft, as the conventional treatment modality, has received keen attentions. However, small-diameter (diameter < 4 mm) vascular grafts have a high risk of thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia (IH), which makes long-term lumen patency challengeable. Endothelial cells (ECs) form the inner endothelium layer, and are crucial for anti-coagulation and thrombogenesis. Thus, promoting in situ endothelialization in vascular graft remodeling takes top priority, which requires recruitment of endothelia progenitor cells (EPCs), migration, adhesion, proliferation and activation of EPCs and ECs. Chemotaxis aimed at ligands on EPC surface can be utilized for EPC homing, while nanofibrous structure, biocompatible surface and cell-capturing molecules on graft surface can be applied for cell adhesion. Moreover, cell orientation can be regulated by topography of scaffold, and cell bioactivity can be modulated by growth factors and therapeutic genes. Additionally, surface modification can also reduce thrombogenesis, and some drug release can inhibit IH. Considering the influence of macrophages on ECs and smooth muscle cells (SMCs), scaffolds loaded with drugs that can promote M2 polarization are alternative strategies. In conclusion, the advanced strategies for enhanced long-term lumen patency of vascular grafts are summarized in this review. Strategies for recruitment of EPCs, adhesion, proliferation and activation of EPCs and ECs, anti-thrombogenesis, anti-IH, and immunomodulation are discussed. Ideal vascular grafts with appropriate surface modification, loading and fabrication strategies are required in further studies.

Abstract
In our previous study, to find out the optimal alloy suitable for biliary surgery, magnesium alloy Jiao Da Bio-magnesium (denoted as JDBM) alloy, Zn-3Cu alloys, and their respective coating (MgF2-PDLLA) products were produced for our research. We found that JDBM seems to be a potential material for clinical biliary stent application due to its uniform degradation and good compatibility. In order to apply the JDBM alloy to treat benign bile duct stricture, our group prepared the bare JDBM and its coating product into finished stents by mesh weaving carving technology and conducted the mechanical property tests, degradation tests and biocompatibility tests. During the mechanical property tests, we found the bare JDBM stent was more suitable than titanium alloy stent when applies to the bile duct, and the coating of the JDBM coating stent has no effect on its mechanical properties. Our in vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that the degradation rate of the JDBM coating stent is lower than that of the JDBM stent, and both stents were biosafe. Thus, there is promise for JDBM coating stents for the treatment of benign biliary strictures.

Abstract
Magnesium and its alloys have been recently used in biomedical applications such as orthopedic implants, whereas the weak corrosion resistance undermines their clinical efficacy. Herein, to address this critical challenge, the preparation of hierarchically structured hydroxyapatite-based coatings was proposed. Compact coatings were fabricated on a Mg alloy through a facile two-step method of chemical deposition of brushite precursor and subsequent hydrothermal conversion. A series of HA-based coatings were obtained with kinetic conversion process with formation mechanism revealed. The hydroxyapatite coating demonstrated the greatest corrosion resistance for Mg in electrochemical and long-term immersion tests, especially against pitting corrosion, attributable to its compact structure, alkaline degradation environment and self-induced growth capacity. The in vitro cytocompatibility and osteoinductivity were dictated. Additionally, anti-corrosion mechanisms were compared among different coating compositions and structures, along with their correlation with cellular response. Our study brings hints for a tailored surface design for resorbable biomedical device applications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although studies have reported that miR-596 extensively participates in multiple cancer progression, the biological mechanisms and effects of miR-596 in prostatic cancer remain unclear. The literature is aimed to reveal the function and possible molecular mechanisms of miR-596 in prostatic cancer carcinogenesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS qRT-PCR was applied to examine miR-596 expression in prostatic cancer cell lines and samples, also methylation-specific PCR was used to detect the methylation status of the promoter CpG islands in prostatic cancer samples. Meanwhile, the tumor-related effects of miR-596 were detected via cell viability, clone formation assay, migration assay, flow cytometric and AO/EB assay. qRT-PCR and Western blots were applied to investigate the function of miR-596 on malignant behavior in prostatic cancer cells. RESULTS We found that miR-596 mRNA was decreased in prostatic cancer samples and cell lines. miR-596 mRNA level was also correlated to cancer stage, Gleason scores, while miR-596 promoter methylation was related to cancer tumor stage, Gleason score and preoperative PSA levels. miR-596 inhibited the cell growth and activity by causing cell apoptosis, and also suppressed the migration of prostatic cancer cells by revealing the epithelial-mesenchymal transition process. In addition, Western blot indicates that miR-596 overexpression deregulated Wnt/β-catenin signaling, by restraining phosphorylation levels of β-catenin and expression levels of downstream targets. CONCLUSIONS In summary, this research indicates that miR-596 overexpression could be potentially useful in the cell growth and migration of prostatic cancer and serves as a potential molecular marker in prostatic cancer.

Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common head and neck cancer characterized by aggressive local invasion and metastasis. The pathogenesis of OSCC is mainly due to the accumulation of genetic alterations in epithelial cells, but the underlying mechanism for its development remains unclear. Here, we found that the expression level of regulator of G protein signaling 12 (RGS12) was significantly reduced in human OSCC. To understand the role and mechanism of RGS12 in OSCC, we generated a novel RGS12 global knockout (CMVCre/+; RGS12fl/fl) mouse model by crossing RGS12fl/fl mice with CMV-Cre transgenic mice and then further induced the mice to develop OSCC by using 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4NQO). Deletion of RGS12 exhibited aggressive OSCC in the tongue compared with the control RGS12fl/fl mice. Knockdown of RGS12 in OSCC cells significantly increased cell proliferation and migration. Mechanistically, we found that RGS12 associated with phosphatase and tension homolog (PTEN) via the PDZ domain to upregulate the phosphorylation and SUMOylation of PTEN and then correspondingly inactivated the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. To test the potential therapeutic effect of RGS12 on OSCC, we overexpressed RGS12 in OSCC cells and found a significant inhibition of cancer cell proliferation and migration. Moreover, subcutaneous inoculation of RGS12-overexpressed OSCC cells in NOD scid mice showed a significant reduction in tumor formation. Our findings reveal that RGS12 is an essential tumor suppressor and highlights RGS12 as a potential therapeutic target and prognostic biomarker of OSCC.

Abstract
WW domain-containing E3 Ub-protein ligase 2 (WWP2) belongs to the homologous to E6AP C-terminus (HECT) E3 ligase family. It has been explored to regulate osteogenic differentiation, chondrogenesis, and palatogenesis. Odontoblasts are terminally differentiated mesenchymal cells, which contribute to dentin formation in tooth development. However, it remained unknown whether WWP2 participated in odontoblast differentiation. In this study, WWP2 was found to be expressed in mouse dental papilla cells (mDPCs), odontoblasts, and odontoblastic-induced mDPCs by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. Besides, WWP2 expression was decreased in the cytoplasm but increased in the nuclei of differentiation-induced mDPCs. When Wwp2 was knocked down, the elevated expression of odontoblast marker genes (Dmp1 and Dspp) in mDPCs induced by differentiation medium was suppressed. Meanwhile, a decrease of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was observed by ALP staining, and reduced formation of mineralized matrix nodules was demonstrated by Alizarin Red S staining. Overexpression of WWP2 presented opposite results to knockdown experiments, suggesting that WWP2 promoted odontoblastic differentiation of mDPCs. Further investigation found that WWP2 was coexpressed and interacted with KLF5 in the nuclei, leading to ubiquitination of KLF5. The PPPSY (PY2) motif of KLF5 was essential for its physical binding with WWP2. Also, cysteine 838 (Cys838) of WWP2 was the active site for ubiquitination of KLF5, which did not lead to proteolysis of KLF5. Then, KLF5 was confirmed to be monoubiquitinated and transactivated by WWP2, which promoted the expression of KLF5 downstream genes Dmp1 and Dspp. Deletion of the PY2 motif of KLF5 or mutation of Cys838 of WWP2 reduced the upregulation of Dmp1 and Dspp. Besides, lysine (K) residues K31, K52, K83, and K265 of KLF5 were verified to be crucial to WWP2-mediated KLF5 transactivation. Taken together, WWP2 promoted odontoblastic differentiation by monoubiquitinating KLF5.

Abstract
Distinctively directing endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs), potentially by surface topography cue, is of central importance for enhancing bioefficacy of vascular implants. For the first time, surface gradients with a broad range of nano-micrometer roughness are developed on Mg, a promising next-generation biodegradable metal, to carry out a systematic study on the response of ECs and SMCs. Cell adhesion, spreading, and proliferation are quantified along gradients by high-throughput imaging, illustrating drastic divergence between ECs and SMCs, especially in highly rough regions. The profound role of surface topography overcoming the biochemical cue of released Mg2+ is unraveled at different roughness ranges for ECs and SMCs. Further insights into the underlying regulatory mechanism are gained at subcellular and gene levels. Our work enables high-efficient exploration of optimized surface morphology for modulating favored cell selectivity of promoting ECs and suppressing SMCs, providing a potential strategy to achieve rapid endothelialization for Mg. Surface topography stimuli was engineered on Mg with varying roughness gradients. Ridge/valley network feature on Mg overperforms the influence of Mg2+. Optimized roughness facilitates proliferation of ECs while suppressing SMCs.

Abstract
Zn and its alloys are considered as a new class of biodegradable metals due to their moderate degradation rates and acceptable biocompatibility. However, inadequate mechanical properties limit their further applications, especially for cardiovascular stents. In this study, a novel biodegradable Zn-1.5Cu-1.5Ag (wt%) alloy with excellent mechanical properties was developed, and then its in vitro degradation and cytotoxicity were characterized. Microstructural characterization showed that hot extrusion produced a bimodal distribution of grain size and much finer secondary phase precipitates. The as-extruded alloy exhibited a satisfactory combination of strength and plasticity (yield strength: 162.0 ± 2.94 MPa, ultimate tensile strength: 220.3 ± 1.70 MPa and elongation: 44.13 ± 1.09%). After being aged at room temperature for 8 months, its mechanical properties increased about 10%, implying its good anti-aging ability. The strain hardening exponent (n) calculated from true stress-strain curve showed that this alloy has evident strain hardening. Immersion tests in c-SBF solution revealed that this alloy has a moderate corrosion rate (48.6 ± 4.14 μm/year) and slightly localized corrosion behavior. Electrochemical tests showed that a weak passive film formed on surface during degradation, which has a limited protective effect. The cytotoxicity tests exhibited that this alloy possesses acceptable in vitro biocompatibility, which is comparable to pure Zn. According to the results of mechanical properties, corrosion behavior and cytotoxicity, the Zn-1.5Cu-1.5Ag alloy can be regarded as a potential candidate for cardiovascular stent applications.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering is considered as a promising pathway for bone regeneration and defect reconstruction, in which scaffolds play an important role. Zn alloy, which is a biodegradable metal material that has advantages of metallic and biodegradable characteristics, has its special features, especially the ideal degradation rate and acceptable biocompatibility, which make it worthy to be further investigated for medical applications. In this study, new biodegradable porous Zn alloy scaffolds with Ca-P coating were attempted to repair cranial bone defect, and in vitro and in vivo assays were conducted to evaluate its biocompatibility, osteo-inductivity, and osteo-conductivity. The results indicated that coated Zn alloy possessed good biocompatibility, with no cytotoxicity. It could also promote osteogenic differentiation and calcium deposition of rabbit BMSCs in vitro, and new bone formation around the scaffold in vivo. The biodegradable porous Zn alloy scaffold with Ca-P coating is considered to be promising in cranial bone defect repair.

Abstract
PURPOSE Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) represents the most common and the most malignant type of brain tumor. Cell division cycle 6 (CDC6), a gene associated with DNA replication initiation, has been proven to be associated with the prognosis of multiple tumors. In this study, we aim to explore the association between CDC6 expression and GBM carcinogenesis and prognosis. METHODS CDC6 expression in normal cells and GBM cells was explored by analyzing TCGA dataset, as well as by RT-PCR and western blot methods. Survival analysis was performed by the Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariate Cox-regression analysis was adopted to estimate the independence of CDC6 as a GBM prognostic factor. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Elevated CDC6 levels in GBM tumor tissues compared with those in normal brain tissues were illustrated by analyzing the gene expression profiles from TCGA dataset, and confirmed by RT-PCR and western blot assays in GBM tumor and normal human astrocyte cell lines. Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated the negative influence of high CDC6 expression on GBM overall survival (OS) probability and days to progression (D2P) after initial treatment, but not on days to recurrence (D2R) after initial treatment. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed CDC6 as an independent signature marker gene for GBM prognosis. In addition, the combination of CDC6 mRNA expression and CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) could sensitively predict 3-year OS and D2P. In conclusion, our study uncovered the role of CDC6 in GBM carcinogenesis and prognosis for the first time, which could shed new light on GBM diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Large-sized orbital bone defects have serious consequences that destroy orbital integrity and result in maxillofacial deformities and vision loss. The treatment of orbital bone defects is currently palliative and not reparative, suggesting an urgent demand for biomaterials that regenerate orbital bones. In this study, via alloying, extrusion and surface modification, we developed mechanobiologically optimized magnesium (Mg) scaffolds (Ca-P-coated Mg-Zn-Gd scaffolds, referred to as Ca-P-Mg) for the orthotopic reconstruction of large-sized orbital bone defects. At 6 months after transplanting the scaffolds to a clinically relevant canine large animal model, large-sized defects were successfully bridged by an abundance of new bone with normal mechanical properties that corresponded to gradual degradation of the implants. The osteogenic and ancillary cells, including vascular endothelial cells and trigeminal neurons, played important roles in this process. The scaffolds robustly enhanced bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) osteogenic differentiation. In addition, the increased angiogenesis including increased ratio of the specific endothelial subtype CD31hi endomucinhi (CD31hiEmcnhi) endothelial cells can facilitate osteogenesis. Furthermore, the scaffolds trigger trigeminal neurons via transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype 1 (Trpv1) to produce the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), which promotes angiogenesis and osteogenesis. Overall, our investigations revealed the efficacy of Ca-P-Mg scaffolds in healing orbital bone defects and warrant further exploration of these scaffolds for clinical applications.

Abstract
This work presents a study on the controlled growth of WO3 nanowires via chemical vapor deposition without catalyst, and their potential applications in visible photodetectors. The influence of growth conditions on the morphology of WO3 nanowires is studied in order to understand the growth mechanism of WO3 nanowires, and ultra-long (60 [Formula: see text], the longest one ever reported) WO3 nanowires with a spindle shape are achieved by optimizing the growth conditions. It was found that the length of WO3 nanowires increases from 15 [Formula: see text] to 60 [Formula: see text] with increasing the argon carrier gas flow rate from 30 sccm to 90 sccm, and then saturates with further increasing the argon carrier gas flow rate. However, the length of WO3 nanowires reduces from 60 [Formula: see text] to 19 [Formula: see text] with increasing the tube inner pressure from 2.5 Torr to 3.5 Torr. The photoconductor detectors based on WO3 single nanowires present excellent device performance with a responsivity as high as 19 A W-1 at a bias of 0.1 V, a detectivity as high as 1.06 × 1011 Jones, and a response (rising and decay) time as short as 8 ms under the illumination of a 404 nm laser. These results indicate the great potential of WO3 nanowires for applications in fabricating high performance visible photodetectors.

Abstract
Biodegradable magnesium alloys are promising candidates for use in biomedical applications. However, degradable particles (DPs) derived from Mg-based alloys have been observed in tissue in proximity to sites of implantation, which might result in unexpected effects. Although previous in vitro studies have found that macrophages can take up DPs, little is known about the potential phagocytic pathway and the mechanism that processes DPs in cells. Additionally, it is necessary to estimate the potential bioeffects of DPs on macrophages. Thus, in this study, DPs were generated from a Mg-2.1Nd-0.2Zn-0.5Zr alloy (JDBM) by an electrochemical method, and then macrophages were incubated with the DPs to reveal the potential impact. The results showed that the cell viability of macrophages decreased in a concentration-dependent manner in the presence of DPs due to effects of an apoptotic pathway. However, the DPs were phagocytosed into the cytoplasm of macrophages and further degraded in phagolysosomes, which comprised lysosomes and phagosomes, by heterophagy instead of autophagy. Furthermore, several pro-inflammatory cytokines in macrophages were upregulated by DPs through the induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to show that DPs derived from a Mg-based alloy are consistently degraded in phagolysosomes after phagocytosis by macrophages via heterophagy, which results in an inflammatory response owing to ROS overproduction. Thus, our research has increased the knowledge of the metabolism of biodegradable Mg metal, which will contribute to an understanding of the health effects of biodegradable magnesium metal implants used for tissue repair. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Biomedical degradable Mg-based alloys have great promise in applied medicine. Although previous studies have found that macrophages can uptake degradable particles (DPs) in vitro and observed in the sites of implantation in vivoin vivo, few studies have been carried out on the potential bioeffects relationship between DPs and macrophages. In this study, we analyzed the bioeffects of DPs derived from a Mg-based alloy on the macrophages. We illustrated that the DPs were size-dependently engulfed by macrophages via heterophagy and further degraded in the phagolysosome rather than autophagosome. Furthermore, DPs were able to induce a slight inflammatory response in macrophages by inducing ROS production. Thus, our research enhances the knowledge of the interaction between DPs of Mg-based alloy and cells, and offers a new perspective regarding the use of biodegradable alloys.

Abstract
Magnesium and Mg-based alloys are promising biomaterials for orthopedic implants because of their degradability, osteogenic effects, and biocompatibility. However, the drawbacks of these materials include high hydrogen gas production, unexpected corrosion resistance, and insufficient mechanical strength duration. Surface modification can protect these biomaterials and induce osteogenesis. In this work, a SrHPO4 coating was developed for our patented biodegradable Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr alloy (abbr. JDBM) through a chemical deposition method. The coating was characterized by in vitro immersion, ion release, and cytotoxicity tests, which showed a slower corrosion behavior and excellent cell viability. RNA sequencing of MC3T3E1 cells treated with SrHPO4-coated JDBM ion release test extract showed increased Tlr4, followed by the activation of the downstream PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, causing proliferation and growth of pre-osteoblasts. An intramedullary nail (IMN) was implanted in a femoral fracture rat model. Mechanical test, radiological and histological analysis suggested that SrHPO4-coated JDBM has superior mechanical properties, induces more bone formation, and decreases the degradation rate compared with uncoated JDBM and the administration of TLR4 inhibitor attenuated the new bone formation for fracture healing. SrHPO4 is a promising coating for JDBM implants, particularly for long-bone fractures.

Abstract
Dentin is an important structural component of the tooth. Odontoblast differentiation is an essential biological process that guarantees normal dentin formation, which is precisely regulated by various proteins. Murine double minute 2 (Mdm2) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase, and it plays a pivotal role in the differentiation of different cell types, such as osteoblasts and myoblasts. However, whether Mdm2 plays a role in odontoblast differentiation remains unknown. Here, we investigated the spatiotemporal expression of Mdm2 by immunostaining and found that Mdm2 was highly expressed in the odontoblasts and slightly in the dental papilla cells of mouse incisors and molars. Gene knockdown and overexpression experiments verified that Mdm2 promoted the odontoblast-like differentiation of mouse dental papilla cells (mDPCs). Intranuclear colocalization and physical interaction between Mdm2 and distal-less 3 (Dlx3), a transcription factor important for odontoblast differentiation, was found during the odontoblast-like differentiation of mDPCs by double immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation. Mdm2 was proved to monoubiquitinate Dlx3, which enhanced the expression of Dlx3 target gene Dspp. In addition, p53, the canonical substrate of Mdm2, was validated to be also ubiquitinated but degraded by Mdm2 during the odontoblast-like differentiation of mDPCs. Gene knockdown experiments confirmed that p53 inhibited the odontoblast-like differentiation of mDPCs. p53 and Mdm2 double knockdown partially rescued the reduced odontoblast-like differentiation by knockdown of Mdm2 alone. Taken together, our study revealed that Mdm2 promoted the odontoblast-like differentiation of mDPCs by ubiquitinating both Dlx3 and p53. On one hand, the monoubiquitination of Dlx3 by Mdm2 led to upregulation of Dspp, which is a marker of the odontoblast differentiation. On the other hand, ubiquitination of p53 by Mdm2 resulted in its degradation, which eliminated the inhibitory effect of p53 on the odontoblast-like differentiation of mDPCs.

Abstract
This study was designed to investigate the biocompatibility and the degradation behavior of a Zn-3Cu alloy, a Zn-3Cu coating alloy, a Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr (denoted as JDBM) alloy and a JDBM coating alloy to choose the optimal alloy for common bile duct (CBD) surgery. In the in vitro degradation experiments, we observed the surface morphology of the samples and determined the elements of the corrosion products. In the in vitro cytotoxicity experiments, the cell morphology and cytotoxicity were observed and tested. In the in vivo experiments, in addition to analyzing the samples, we also analyzed the variations in serum magnesium, serum creatinine (CREA), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), total bilirubin (TB) and glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT). Moreover, important tissue samples from the CBD, liver, kidney and spleen were taken for histological evaluation. The in vitro degradation experiments revealed that the surface corrosion of the JDBM and JDBM coating alloys were more obvious than that of Zn-3Cu and Zn-3Cu coating alloys, and the degradation rate of the JDBM coating alloy was the slowest. The in vitro cytotoxicity assessment showed that the JDBM alloy and JDBM coating alloy extracts were biologically safe for L-929 cells, while the Zn-3Cu alloy and Zn-3Cu coating alloy extracts were harmful to L-929 cells. In the in vivo experiments, neither the JDBM alloy nor the JDBM coating alloy affected the function or morphology of the bile duct, liver, kidney or spleen. Similar to the in vitro degradation behavior, the surface corrosion of the JDBM alloy was more significant than that of the JDBM coating alloy. Our data suggested that the JDBM coating alloy is a safe, biodegradable material for CBD surgery.

Abstract
Mg-based alloys might be ideal biomaterials in clinical applications owing to favorable mechanical properties, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and especially their anti-inflammatory properties. However, the precise signaling mechanism underlying the inhibition of inflammation by Mg-based alloys has not been elucidated. Here, we investigated the effects of a Mg-2.1Nd-0.2Zn-0.5Zr alloy (denoted as JDBM) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced macrophages. THP-1 cell-derived macrophages were cultured on JDBM, Ti-6Al-4V alloy (Ti), 15% extract of JDBM, and 7.5 mM of MgCl2 for 1 h before the addition of LPS for an indicated time; the experiments included negative and positive controls. Our results showed JDBM, extract, and MgCl2 could decrease LPS-induced tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin (IL)-6 expression. However, there were no morphologic changes in macrophages on Ti or JDBM. Mechanically, extract and MgCl2 downregulated the expression of toll-like receptor (TLR)-4 and MYD88 compared with the positive control and inhibited LPS-induced nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways by inactivation of the phosphorylation of IKK-α/β, IKβ-α, P65, P38, and JNK. Additionally, the LPS-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) expression was also decreased by extract and MgCl2. Interestingly, the expression of LPS-induced TNF and IL-6 could be recovered by knocking down TRPM7 of macrophages, in the presence of extract or MgCl2. Mechanically, the activities of AKT and AKT1 were increased by extract or MgCl2 with LPS and were blocked by a PI3K inhibitor, whereas siRNA TRPM7 inhibited only AKT1. Together, our results demonstrated the degradation products of Mg-based alloy, especially magnesium, and resolved inflammation by activation of the TRPM7-PI3K-AKT1 signaling pathway, which may be a potential advantage or target to promote biodegradable Mg-based alloy applications.

Abstract
The performance of biodegradable magnesium alloy stents (BMgS) requires special attention to non-uniform residual stress distribution and stress concentration, which can accelerate localized degradation after implantation. We now report on a novel concept in stent shape optimization using a finite element method (FEM) toolkit. A Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr alloy with uniform degradation behavior served as the basis of our BMgS. Comprehensive in vitro evaluations drove stent optimization, based on observed crimping and balloon inflation performance, measurement of radial strength, and stress condition validation via microarea-XRD. Moreover, a Rapamycin-eluting polymer coating was sprayed on the prototypical BMgS to improve the corrosion resistance and release anti-hyperplasia drugs. In vivo evaluation of the optimized coated BMgS was conducted in the iliac artery of New Zealand white rabbit with quantitative coronary angiography (QCA), optical coherence tomography (OCT) and micro-CT observation at 1, 3, 5-month follow-ups. Neither thrombus or early restenosis was observed, and the coated BMgS supported the vessel effectively prior to degradation and allowed for arterial healing thereafter. The proposed shape optimization framework based on FEM provides an novel concept in stent design and in-depth understanding of how deformation history affects the biomechanical performance of BMgS. Computational analysis tools can indeed promote the development of biodegradable magnesium stents.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA) has a promising application as coating of biomaterials due to its favorable degradability and bioadaptability. However, its bioactivity, such as anti-inflammatory capacity, was still little known. Herein, we investigated whether degradable products of PDA could affect inflammatory response in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated human THP-1-derived macrophages. The supernatants containing degradation products of PDA, annotated as PDA extracts, were collected after PDA being immersed in cell culture medium for 3 days. Wherein, the composition of the degradation products was analyzed by HPLC assay. Collected PDA extracts were diluted into 100%, 50%, and 25% of original concentration, respectively, to evaluate their anti-inflammatory ability on LPS-induced macrophages from the expression levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines to associated molecular mechanism. Our results showed that the PDA extracts were mainly composed of dopamine, quinine, and PDA segments. Furthermore, macrophages showed no cytotoxicity after PDA extract treatment with or without LPS, while the release levels of TNF-α and IL-6 by LPS-induced macrophages were decreased in dose-dependent by PDA extract treatment. Additionally, TLR-4 and MYD88 expression in protein and RNA level were downregulated by PDA extracts in LPS-induced macrophages. Similarly, PDA extracts effectively inhibited LPS-induced NF-κB trans-locating into nuclear by inactivation of the phosphorylation of IKK-α/β and IKβ-α. Of note, the production of LPS-induced ROS was reduced by PDA extracts in macrophages, while HO-1 expression, a critical protein of antioxidant signaling pathway, was increased. Based on these results, we proposed a potential mechanism by which degradation products of PDA suppressed inflammation of macrophages via downregulation TLR-4-MYD88-NFκB pathway and simultaneous activation HO-1 pathway, which might be a possible therapeutic target.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To preliminarily investigate the feasibility of bioabsorption tracheal stenting for the therapeutic application of congenital tracheal stenosis (CTS). STUDY DESIGN Experimental research. SETTING Shanghai Children Medical Center, National Children's Medical Center. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Five kinds of magnesium alloys with different compositions were studied in this paper, a patented Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr alloy series namely JDBM (JiaoDa BioMg) and four Mg-Ca-Zn alloys. The cytotoxicity of alloys was evaluated by the MTS ([3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium) assay in rabbit tracheal epithelial cells. Specific magnesium alloys had been immersed in the cell culture medium for 24 h. The tracheal stents that were made of magnesium alloy were implanted into the trachea of New Zealand rabbits and the ablation of the stent was monitored by fiber bronchoscopy. The routine blood examination was conducted prior to and following the stent placement. The rabbits were euthanized following 2-3 months of stenting. H&E staining of the main organs was conducted and the induction of apoptosis of the tracheal tissues was monitored. RESULTS The cytotoxicity of the JDBM magnesium alloy was mild and lower than the remaining 4 alloys. The stents were placed successfully in five animals. The tracheal stents were successfully placed and gradually biodegradated as monitored by fiber bronchoscopy; no significant systemic inflammatory response was noted. No significant differences in the liver and/or kidney function prior to and following stent placement were noted. H&E staining indicated the absence of pathological changes in the trachea, liver, heart and/or kidney tissues. The apoptotic assay indicated that the apoptosis ratio of the tracheal tissues was comparable between rabbits with and without tracheal stenting. CONCLUSION The results suggested the feasibility of bioabsorption stents made of biodegradable magnesium alloys using in patients with tracheal stenosis, especially in infants.
