The results indicate that as‐deposited coatings can efficiently decrease the degradation rate of ZA6‐1 from 0.52 to 0.16 mm/year, and the addition of LYS weakens the coating resistance, while the addition of PTH enhances the coating resistance. In spite that no obvious inhibition of Escherichia coli is observed, the coated zinc alloys show good in vitro antibacterial performance against Staphylococcus aureus. Compared with ZA6‐1 zinc alloys, the increase of antibacterial efficacy reaches 86.9%–90.1%. Furthermore, the lower hydrophilicity (26.4°), higher osteoblast cell viability (>100%), good osteoblast cell morphology and better osteoblast cell differentiation (ALP = 107.7%) for PDA‐LYS/PTH coated samples support that as‐prepared coating is promising for modifying biodegradable zinc implants.","PeriodicalId":52235,"journal":{"name":"Biosurface and Biotribology","volume":"20 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138601967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the influence of surface roughness on cell attachment and proliferation remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the impact of surface roughness of CCM on the attachment and proliferation of osteoblasts. CCM samples with different values of surface rouges were prepared by polishing. MC3T3‐E1 mouse osteoblasts were used for cell culture experiments. Cell attachment, morphology, and the expression of actin stress fibres, vinculin, and distribution of yes‐associated protein were analysed. Our results suggest that surface roughness does not significantly affect cell attachment and proliferation on CCM, unlike on titanium. Thus implies that other properties of CCM, such as physicochemical properties, may play a more substantial role in modulating cell behaviour. This study provides important insights into the design of CCM implants, suggesting that approaches beyond tuning surface roughness may be necessary to improve biocompatibility and osseointegration.","PeriodicalId":52235,"journal":{"name":"Biosurface and Biotribology","volume":" 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135141765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) exhibit low biological toxicity and high bioavailability; however, they are prone to aggregation and are extremely unstable, thereby diminishing their bioactivity and bioavailability. To overcome these limitations, ultra‐small, highly stable, and bioactive SeNPs were synthesised based on an in‐situ hybridisation strategy by using polyphenol‐grafted‐chitosan (GA‐CS) to control and restrict crystal growth of Se nanoparticles. The resultant GA‐CS@nSe exhibited an average particle size of ∼30 nm and was highly stable in aqueous solutions. In addition, GA‐CS@nSe displayed improved biocompatibility and enhanced antioxidative activity.

The physical and chemical properties and corrosion resistance of the coating were analysed in depth, and its biocompatibility was preliminarily explored in vitro. The results showed that the polyphenol (EGCG) conversion coating constructed on the AZ31 could successfully induce the formation of HA by complexing the phenolic hydroxyl group with calcium ions. The electrochemical and long‐term immersion experiments showed that the corrosion resistance of EGCG/HA composite coating was significantly improved. The self‐corrosion current density, hydrogen evolution and the increase of pH value of AZ31‐EGCG/HA were significantly lower than those of AZ31. On the basis of inhibiting the excessive corrosion of the substrate, the composite coating significantly improves the compatibility of pre‐osteoblasts, supports the adhesion and spreading and effectively reduces the haemolysis rate to less than 5%. The preparation method of the coating is simple, low cost and suitable for complex shape surfaces, which can significantly improve the corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of the AZ31 substrate.
