Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN), an FDA-approved inorganic nanomaterial, possess robust physical and chemical properties, such as adjustable pore size and pore capacity, easy surface modification, and high biosafety. Numerous studies have exploited MSN to regulate drug release and facilitate targeted delivery. This study aimed to synthesize an MSN-tetracycline (MSN-TC) complex and investigate its inhibitory potential on <i>Porphyromonas gingivalis</i> (<i>P. gingivalis</i>)-induced bone resorption. The antibacterial efficacy of MSN-TC was evaluated through bacterial culture experiments. A <i>P. gingivalis</i>-induced bone resorption model was constructed by subcutaneously injecting <i>P. gingivalis</i> around the cranial bone of rats. Micro-computed tomography was employed to assess the inhibitory impact of MSN and MSN-TC on bone resorption. Furthermore, the influence of MSN and MSN-TC on osteoclast differentiation was examined in vitro. The MSN exhibited optimal pore size and particle dimensions for effective loading and gradual release of TC. MSN-TC demonstrated significant bacteriostatic activity against <i>P. gingivalis</i>. MSN-TC-treated rats showed significantly reduced cranial bone tissue destruction compared to MSN or TC-treated rats. Additionally, both MSN and MSN-TC exhibited inhibitory effects on the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand-mediated osteoclast differentiation. The MSN-TC complex synthesized in this study demonstrated dual efficacy by exerting antibacterial effects on <i>P. gingivalis</i> and by resisting osteoclast differentiation, thereby mitigating bone resorption induced by <i>P. gingivalis</i>.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":647,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11442573/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142338927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to introduce and evaluate sustained co-release of encapsulated ciprofloxacin (CIP) and dexamethasone (DEX) in polyvinyl alcohol-based carriers within the maxillary sinus of rabbit animals. DEX and CIP were loaded in a tyramine-substituted polyvinyl alcohol microparticle (PVATyr MP). The mechanical stability, degradability, and sustained-release patterns of both drugs as well as cellular cytocompatibility were assessed in vitro. The PVATyr MPs were then injected into the maxillary sinus of rabbits and they were monitored weekly for 21 days. Nasal endoscopy, MRI imaging, and tissue microscopy were used to follow the changes and compared them with the control condition. Also, the concentrations of drugs were evaluated in the maxillary sinus and blood samples over the study period. Produced PVA-based MPs possessed a relatively narrow particle size distribution (CV 7.7%) with proper physical stability until 30 days of incubation. The uniform-sized PVATyr MPs and their surrounding hydrogel showed sustained-release profiles for DEX and CIP for up to 32 days in vitro. The injected drugs-loaded hydrogel showed complete clearance from the maxillary sinus of rabbits within 28 days. The concentrations of DEX and CIP in mucosal remained within the therapeutic window when measured on days 7, 14, and 21, which were well above the plasma concentrations without any pathological changes in endoscopy, MRI imaging, and histological examinations. DEX/CIP loaded PVATyr MPs provided an effective, controlled, and safe sustained-drug delivery in both in vitro and in vivo analyses at therapeutic concentrations with minimal systemic absorption, suggesting a promising treatment approach for CRS.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":647,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11442669/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142338930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thereinto, the mechanism by which dual ions promote osteogenic differentiation remains to be elucidated. Herein, the effects of Si and Zn ions on the cytological behaviors of mBMSCs were firstly studied. Then, the molecular mechanism of Si-Zn dual ions regulating the osteogenic differentiation of mBMSCs was investigated via transcriptome sequencing technology. In the single-ion system, Si ion at the concentration of 1.5 mM (Si-1.5) had better comprehensive effects of cell proliferation, ALP activity and osteogenesis-related gene expression levels (ALP, Runx2, OCN, Col-I and BSP); Zn ion at the concentration of 50 μM (Zn-50) demonstrated better combining effects of cell proliferation, ALP activity and same osteogenic genes expression levels. In the dual-ion system, the Si (1.5 mM)-Zn (50 μM) group (Si1.5-Zn50) synthetically enhanced ALP activity and osteogenesis genes compared with single-ion groups. Analysis of the transcriptome sequencing results showed that Si ion had a certain effect on promoting the osteogenic differentiation of mBMSCs; Zn ion had a stronger effect of contributing to a better osteogenic differentiation of mBMSCs than that of Si ion; the Si-Zn dual ions had a synergistic enhancement on conducting to the osteogenic differentiation of mBMSCs compared to single ion (Si or Zn).

This study included 24-week-old male New Zealand white rabbits. A cylindrical bone defect with a diameter of 4.5 mm and a depth of 8 mm was created in the lateral aspect of the distal femur. A 3D-printed scaffold was implanted in the right femur (experimental side), whereas the left femur was kept free of implantation (control side). Micro-CT analysis and histological observations of the bone defect site were conducted at 4, 8, and 12 weeks postoperatively to track the bone repair progress. No evidence of new bone tissue formation was found in the medullary cavity of the bone defect on the control side. In contrast, on the experimental side, the 3D scaffold demonstrated sufficient bioactivity, leading to the growth of new bone tissue. Over time, new bone tissue gradually extended from the periphery toward the center, a phenomenon evident in both micro-CT images and biopsy staining. In the current study, we observed that the cells involved in bone metabolism adhered, spread, and proliferated on our newly designed 3D-printed scaffold with a bone microstructure.

They likely offer good bone integration, a low loosening rate, individual customization, and ease of insertion. Due to the poor processability of NITI, traditional methods cannot manufacture NiTi products with complex shapes. Orthopedic NiTi implants need to show an adequate fracture elongation of at least 8%. Additive manufacturing can be used to prepare NiTi implants with complex structures and tunable porosity. However, as previously reported, additively manufactured NiTi alloys could only exhibit a maximum tensile fracture strain of 7%. In new reports, a selective laser melting (SLM)–NiTi alloy has shown greater tensile strain (15.6%). Nevertheless, due to the unique microstructure of additive manufacturing NiTi that differs from traditional NITI, the biocompatibility of SLM-NITI manufactured by this new process requires further evaluation In this study, the effects of the improved NiTi alloy on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) proliferation, adhesion, and cell viability were investigated via in vitro studies. A commercial Ti-6Al-4V alloy was studied side-by-side for comparison. Like the Ti-6Al-4V alloy, the SLM-NiTi alloy exhibited low cytotoxicity toward BMSCs and similar effect on cell adhesion or cell viability. This study demonstrates that the new SLM-NiTi alloy, which has exhibited improved mechanical properties, also displays excellent biocompatibility.
