Traditional in vitro oxidative degradation screenings employ hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) solutions. However, the inherent instability of H₂O₂ can compromise the consistency of oxidative conditions, especially over extended periods and at elevated temperatures used for accelerated testing. In this study, an automated reactive accelerated aging (aRAA) system, which integrates an electrochemical detection method and a feedback loop, was utilized to ensure precise control of H₂O₂ concentrations during polymer oxidative degradation testing. The reproducibility of the aRAA system was evaluated by comparing four identical setups. Its efficacy as an oxidation challenge was demonstrated on (i) medical-grade vitamin E (VE) blended ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and (ii) highly crosslinked (HXL) UHMWPE as model materials. The aRAA-aged VE-UHMWPE and HXL-UHMWPE samples were also compared against samples aged via an existing accelerated aging standard, ASTM F2003-02(2022). Samples were analyzed using attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy to calculate their oxidation index per ASTM F2102-17. We observed that the aRAA system was more effective in oxidizing VE-UHMWPE and HXL-UHMWPE than the traditional ASTM F2003-02(2022) method. By providing a standardized and reliable approach to assess polymer oxidative degradation, the aRAA system could enhance the accuracy of long-term stability predictions for nonresorbable polymers in medical devices.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":15269,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biomedical materials research.

Decellularization takes an important position among these strategies. The most common method is chemical decellularization. This approach employs high concentrations of detergents, primarily Triton X-100, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and sodium hypochlorite (SH). In this work, novel techniques for decellularizing spinach were developed using detergents frequently utilized in laboratories. Spinach leaves were decellularized using Tween-20, SDS, and SH at low concentrations to generate an acellular plant matrix for tissue engineering. We measured the quantities of DNA and protein, as well as the decellularization using hematoxylin and eosin (H&amp;E) staining. The biocompatibility and capacity of the biostructures to stimulate fibroblast wound healing were assessed using MTT and the Scratch assay. The antibacterial activity of the scaffolds was also tested against a gram-positive bacterium, <i>Staphilococcus aureus</i>, which is a common pathogen associated with wound healing. The best shape, evident vascularization, and good biocompatibility were seen in the Tween-20 decellularized samples at 1% concentration at 21°C and 37°C through the enhancement of cell proliferation and wound healing. In terms of antibacterial activity, all scaffold samples had a significant effect on <i>Staphilococcus aureus</i>, where the number of bacterial colonies in all six scaffold groups became zero after 4 h of treatment. The scaffolds also showed a 100% kill rate on <i>Staphilococcus aureus</i>, which could avoid wound infection during the repair process, and that can be suggested as a scaffold for tissue engineering applications and an important constituent for pharmacological activities.</p>","PeriodicalId":15269,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biomedical materials research.

Whole blood, drawn from six healthy human volunteers into Anticoagulant Citrate Dextrose Solution A was recalcified and heparinized over a concentration range of 0.5–1.5 U/mL. The blood was incubated with test materials with different thrombogenic potentials for 60 min at 37°C, using a 6 cm²/mL material surface area to blood volume ratio. After incubation, the blood platelet count was measured before centrifuging the blood to prepare platelet-poor plasma (PPP) and platelet-free plasma (PFP) for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay analysis of the biomarkers. The results show that all four markers effectively differentiated the materials with different thrombogenic potentials at heparin concentrations from 1.0 to 1.5 U/mL. When a donor-specific heparin concentration (determined by activated clotting time) was used, the markers were able to differentiate materials consistently for blood from all the donors. Additionally, using PFP instead of PPP further improved the test method's ability to differentiate the thrombogenic materials from the negative control for β-TG and TAT. Moreover, the platelet activation markers were able to detect reversible platelet activation induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP). In summary, all three platelet activation markers (β-TG, PF4, and CD62P) can distinguish thrombogenic potentials of different materials and detect ADP-induced reversible platelet activation. Test consistency and sensitivity can be enhanced by using a donor-specific heparin concentration and PFP.

Therefore, in this study, chitosan and nanochitosan membranes with or without hyaluronic acid were prepared using the electrospinning technique, characterized and evaluated in the healing of skin wounds in rats. Chitosan and nanochitosan solutions, with or without hyaluronic acid, were prepared at concentrations of 1%–4% using PEO (polyethylene oxide) and subjected to the electrospinning process to obtain membranes characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), mechanical tests, and antimicrobial activity. The healing effect of the membranes was evaluated by monitoring the area of the lesions, contraction of the wounds, histologic analysis, and induction of pro-inflammatory cytokine (IL-1 α and TNF-α) production in rats. The nanochitosan and nanochitosan membranes with hyaluronic acid achieved greater fiber diameter and uniformity, resistance, elasticity, and thermal stability, in addition to good adhesion to the wound bed and permeation capacity. Despite not presenting antimicrobial activity in vitro, they contributed to the production of pro-inflammatory interleukins in the animals tested, provided physical protection, reduced the wound area more markedly until the seventh day of the evaluation, with an acceleration of the healing process and especially when functionalized with hyaluronic acid.

Modern implantology seeks fast and reliable osseointegration, which is essential for clinical success. The objective of this research was to assess the osseointegration and biocompatibility of a titanium–titanium diboride composite (Ti-TiB₂) in rabbits in contrast to those of pure titanium (Ti). A total of 64 cylindrical implant specimens were fabricated, consisting of two sets: pure Ti (32 implants) and Ti-TiB₂ composite (32 implants). In this study, two implants were implanted per tibia (left and right tibias) in 16 white male New Zealand rabbits, for a total of four implants per rabbit (4 × 16 = 64 implants). A pushout test was used to assess implant specimen-bone bonding after 2 and 6 weeks of healing. The experiment utilized five rabbits per healing phase, which means that 20 implants per time point were used for the pushout tests. (10 for pure Ti and 10 for the composite). Histology was used to examine the tissue response to biocompatibility, and histomorphometry was used to measure new bone growth at the two time points. With three rabbits per time point, 12 implants were employed for the histological analyses. After implantation, the pushout shear strength results revealed that the mean shear strength of the Ti-TiB₂ implant specimens (5.4 ± 0.029 MPa for 2 weeks, 7.9 ± 0.029 MPa for 6 weeks) was statistically greater (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.0001) than that of the pure Ti implant specimens (5.1 ± 0.015 MPa for 2 weeks, 6.6 ± 0.047 MPa for 6 weeks).

Thermal analysis revealed significant mass loss due to water, collagen, organic compounds, carbonates, and age-related magnesium out-diffusion. Higher fat content in older bones contributed to increased mass loss. Phosphorus content remained constant across age groups, while calcium and sodium showed age-related fluctuations. Magnesium levels decreased with age, emphasizing its importance for early bone development. The Ca/P ratio deviated from the stoichiometric values due to additional ions from biogenic sources. Infrared spectroscopy identified functional groups in carbonated HAp, with changes observed before and after calcination. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the 961 cm⁻¹ band decreased with age, indicating improved crystalline quality. The molar absorption coefficients provided information on the changes in molecular concentration and emphasized the differences between the age groups.

Rietveld analysis showed that the lattice parameters were affected by the presence of organic material, but the lattice constants remained stable, confirming high crystallinity independent of age.
