The HA layer was applied at the metal interface to ensure long-term stability, while the calcium silicate (CS) outer layer was applied to achieve fast tissue-implant interactions. Moreover, single-layered HA and CS coating were also formulated for comparative analysis. The phase compositions, coating microstructure, chemical properties, microhardness, porosity, surface roughness, and in-vitro bioactivity were investigated. The CS top layer showed high porosity and surface roughness with respect to the inner HA layer, which constitutes an optimum microstructure to promote bioactivity. The microhardness of the outer CS layer of HA-CS was 520.3 ± 80.8 HV, while the corresponding value for the inner HA layer was 291.7 ± 45.7 HV.

Curcumin interferes favorably with the cellular events that take place in the inflammatory and proliferative stages of wound healing, hence its importance in skin regeneration and wound healing. Curcumin is however lipophilic, and this must be considered in the choice of its drug delivery system. Liposomes are spherical vesicles with bi-lipid layers. Liposomes can encapsulate both lipophilic and hydrophilic drugs, hence their suitability as an ideal drug delivery system for curcumin. There is, nevertheless, a tendency for liposomes to be unstable and have low encapsulation efficiency if it is not formulated properly. Formulation optimization of curcumin-loaded liposomes was studied by the application of artificial neural network (ANN) to improve encapsulation efficiency and flux of the liposomes. The input factors selected for optimization of the formulation were sonication time, hydration volume, and lipid/curcumin ratio. The response variables were encapsulation efficiency and flux. The maximum encapsulation efficiency and flux were obtained using lipid/curcumin ratio of 4.35, sonicator time of 15 min, and hydration volume of 25 mL. The maximum encapsulation efficiency and flux predicted were 100% and 51.23 µg/cm<sup>2</sup>/h, respectively. The experimental values were 99.934% and 51.229 µg/cm<sup>2</sup>/h, respectively.

Therefore, the application of cartilage substitute due to the lack of donors as well as biocompatibility leads to immune system rejection. In order to overcome these drawbacks, researchers have used porous scaffold as an option for bone transplantation. In this study, poly-lactic acid (PLA) scaffolds were prepared for cartilage application by fused deposition modeling (FDM) technique and then coated by electrospinning with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and hyaluronic acid (HLA) fibers. Hybrid electrospinning (ELS) method was used to produce porous scaffolds from HLA-PVA polymers. The printed scaffold was coated using FDM technique and the mechanical and biological investigation was performed on the polymeric composite specimen. The functional group and morphological behavior were investigated using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The obtained porous scaffold has hydrophilic properties as the PVA and HLA were coated on the PLA. The porous 3D-printed scaffold containing PLA/PVA/HLA scaffold does not show any toxicity in MTT evaluation after 1, 3 and 7 days. The SEM image confirmed the cell adhesion of the chondrite to the scaffold. Also, the mechanical performances of the sample, such as elastic modulus and compressive strength, were evaluated by compression test. By electro-spun coating, the elastic module of PVA/PLA and PLA/PVA/HLA scaffolds has increased to 18.31 ± 0.29 MPa and 19.25 ± 0.38 MPa. Also, the tensile strength of these two porous scaffolds has reached 6.11 ± 0.42 MPa and 6.56 ± 0.14 MPa, respectively. The failure strain of 3D printed PLA scaffold was reported to be 53 ± 0.21% and this value was reduced to 47 ± 0.62% and 42 ± 0.22% in PVA/PLA and PLA/PVA/HLA scaffolds.
