In this work, an electropolishing(EP) pretreatment was performed on the NiTi substrate prior to anodization to thoroughly expose the NPs. Our results show that the EP pretreatment for 5 min perfectly removes the top disordered layer on the Ni-Ti-O NPs to expose the underlying NPs and consequently, the corrosion resistance and antibacterial ability are enhanced. The exposed NPs can elongate bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, which may be responsible for the upregulated alkaline phosphatase activity, secretion of Type I collagen, and extracellular matrix mineralization. These results suggest that EP is a desirable pretreatment before anodization of the NiTi alloys because the irregular surface layer on the Ni-Ti-O NPs can be removed to enhance the corrosion resistance and biological functions.展开更多

In the present study, a novel nanocomposite coating composed of inner magnesium hydroxide, middle graphene oxide, and outer hydroxyapatite (Mg(OH)_(2)/GO/HA) is constructed on the surface of Mg-0.8Ca-5Zn-1.5Ag by a combined strategy of hydrothermal treatment, electrophoretic deposition, and electrochemical deposition. The results of material characterization and electrochemical corrosion test showed that all the three coatings have high bonding strength, hydrophilicity and corrosion resistance. In vitro studies show that Mg(OH)2 indeed improves the antibacterial activity of the substrate. The next GO and GO/HA coating procedures both promote the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells and show no harm to the antibacterial activity of Mg(OH)2 coating, but the latter exhibits the best promoting effect. In vivo studies demonstrate that the Mg alloy with the composite coating not only ameliorates osteolysis induced by bacterial invasion but also promotes bone regeneration under both normal and infected conditions. The current study provides a promising surface modification strategy for developing multifunctional Mg-based implants with good corrosion resistance, antibacterial ability and osteogenic activity to enlarge their biomedical applications.展开更多

文摘Calcium phosphate cements(CPC)are widely anticipated to be an optimum bone repair substitute due to its satisfied biocompatibility and degradability,suitable to be used in minimally invasive treatment of bone defects.However the clinical application of CPC is still not satisfied by its poor cohesiveness and mechanical properties,in particular its osteoinductivity.Hyaluronic acid reinforced calcium phosphate cements(HA/CPC)showed extroadinary potential not only enhancing the compressive strength of the cements but also significantly increasing its osteoinductivity.In our study,the compressive strength of HA/CPC increased significantly when the cement was added 1%hyaluronic acid(denoted as 1-HA/CPC).In the meantime,hyaluronic acid obviously promoted ALP activity,osteogenic related protein and mRNA expression of hBMSCs(human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells)in vitro,cement group of HA/CPC with 4%hyaluronic acid adding(denoted as 4-HA/CPC)showed optimal enhancement in hBMSCs differentiation.After being implanted in rat tibial defects,4-HA/CPC group exhibited better bone repair ability and bone growth promoting factors,comparing to pure CPC and 1-HA/CPC groups.The underlying biological mechanism of this stimulation for HA/CPC may be on account of higher osteogenic promoting factors secretion and osteogenic genes expression with hyaluronic acid incorporation.These results indicate that hyaluronic acid is a highly anticipated additive to improve physicochemical properties and osteoinductivity performance of CPCs for minimally invasive healing of bone defects.

文摘Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2(rhBMP-2)is the predominant growth factor that effectively induces osteogenic differentiation in orthopedic procedures.However,the bioactivity and stability of rhBMP-2 are intrinsically associated with its sequence,structure,and storage conditions.In this study,we successfully determined the amino acid sequence and protein secondary structure model of non-glycosylated rhBMP-2 expressed by an E.coli expression system through X-ray crystal structure analysis.Furthermore,we observed that acidic storage conditions enhanced the proliferative and osteoinductive activity of rhBMP-2.Although the osteogenic activity of non-glycosylated rhBMP-2 is relatively weaker compared to glycosylated rhBMP-2;however,this discrepancy can be mitigated by incorporating exogenous chaperone molecules.Overall,such information is crucial for rationalizing the design of stabilization methods and enhancing the bioactivity of rhBMP-2,which may also be applicable to other growth factors.

文摘Our previous study demonstrated that orally administration of collagen hydrolysates from silver carp skin(SCH)could increase bone remodeling in chronologically aged mice.However,the active compounds and molecular mechanism were still unclear.In this study,SCH showed strong activity in promoting osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells and the active components in it were separated by ultrafiltration and YMC ODS-A C18 column.And then,a series of peptides containing potential osteogenic sequences were identified by LC-MS/MS and two novel peptides,GARGDKGETGEAGE(GE-14)and TGPRGPVGPA(TA-10),were synthesized for further investigation.The results indicated that peptides GE-14 and TA-10 could promote the differentiation and mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells by positively regulatingβ1 integrin-FAK-ERK1/2 and Smad1 pathway,which might be due to the RGD or GPR sequences in them.These findings suggest that SCH has the potential to be developed as an effective diet supplement to prevent osteoporosis.

文摘Carbon fiber reinforced polyetheretherketone(CFRPEEK)possesses a similar elastic modulus to that of human cortical bone and is considered as a promising candidate to replace metallic implants.However,the bioinertness and deficiency of antibacterial activities impede its application in orthopedic and dentistry.In this work,titanium plasma immersion ion implantation(Ti-PⅢ)is applied to modify CFRPEEK,achieving unique multi-hierarchical nanostructures and active sites on the surface.Then,hybrid polydopamine(PDA)@ZnO-EDN1 nanoparticles(NPs)are introduced to construct versatile surfaces with improved osteogenic and angiogenic properties and excellent antibacterial properties.Our study established that the modified CFRPEEK presented favorable stability and cytocompatibility.Compared with bare CFRPEEK,improved osteogenic differentiation of rat mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)and vascularization of human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs)are found on the functionalized surface due to the zinc ions and EDN1 releasing.In vitro bacteriostasis assay confirms that hybrid PDA@ZnO NPs on the functionalized surface provided an effective antibacterial effect.Moreover,the rat infected model corroborates the enhanced antibiosis and osteointegration of the functionalized CFRPEEK.Our findings indicate that the multilevel nanostructured PDA@ZnO-EDN1 coated CFRPEEK with enhanced antibacterial,angiogenic,and osteogenic capacity has great potential as an orthopedic/dental implant material for clinical application.

文摘The improved corrosion resistance, osteogenic activity, and antibacterial ability are the key factors for promoting the large-scale clinical application of magnesium (Mg)-based implants. In the present study, a novel nanocomposite coating composed of inner magnesium hydroxide, middle graphene oxide, and outer hydroxyapatite (Mg(OH)_(2)/GO/HA) is constructed on the surface of Mg-0.8Ca-5Zn-1.5Ag by a combined strategy of hydrothermal treatment, electrophoretic deposition, and electrochemical deposition. The results of material characterization and electrochemical corrosion test showed that all the three coatings have high bonding strength, hydrophilicity and corrosion resistance. In vitro studies show that Mg(OH)2 indeed improves the antibacterial activity of the substrate. The next GO and GO/HA coating procedures both promote the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells and show no harm to the antibacterial activity of Mg(OH)2 coating, but the latter exhibits the best promoting effect. In vivo studies demonstrate that the Mg alloy with the composite coating not only ameliorates osteolysis induced by bacterial invasion but also promotes bone regeneration under both normal and infected conditions. The current study provides a promising surface modification strategy for developing multifunctional Mg-based implants with good corrosion resistance, antibacterial ability and osteogenic activity to enlarge their biomedical applications.

文摘Bacterial cellulose(BC)is an exopolysaccharide with unique properties that has been applied in various fields.However,the dense and intertwined nature of BC fibers limits its use in certain applications,including 3D printing scaffolds for bone regeneration.In this work,a controllable BC-based bio-ink for 3D printing was successfully prepared by modifying the neat BC through maleic acid(MA)treatment,aiming to promote bone tissue regeneration.To achieve homogeneous BC dispersions while preserving its crystalline and chemical properties,BC was modified by MA solution(60%,w/V)with solid-liquid ratio from 1꞉5 to 1꞉50(w/V)to obtain MA-BC dispersions.The analysis results from microstructure,chemical group,crystallinity,and wettability indicated that the BC/MA solution with ratio of 1꞉30 demonstrated the best pre-treatment performance to obtain MA-BC.Subsequently,by combining MA-BC with gelatin,we successfully formulated MA-BC-GEL gels with favorable rheological properties and compression modulus,which can be used as promising bio-inks for 3D bioprinting applications.In vitro tests demonstrated 1꞉30 MA-BC possessed excellent biocompatibility,a significant ability to express the alkaline phosphatase gene and osteogenic-related genes,and facilitated the formation of mineralized nodules.The utilization of this novel bio-ink in scaffold preparation for bone regeneration highlights the promising application of modified BC in bone tissue engineering field.
