RESUMO
Implanted materials with both osteogenic and antibacterial functions are promising for facilitating osteointegration and preventing infection for orthopedic applications. In this work, we synthesized flower-like molybdenum disulfide (fMD) submicro-spheres containing nanosheets, which were incorporated onto the microporous surface of polyimide (PI) via concentrated sulfuric acid, suspending fMD contents of 5 wt% (SPM1) and 10 wt% (SPM2). Compared with sulfonated polyimide (SPM0), both SPM1 and SPM2 with microporous surfaces containing fMD exhibited nano-submicro-microporous surfaces, which improved the surface roughness, wettability, and surface energy. Due to there being more fMD submicro-spheres on the microporous surface, SPM2 revealed a better antibacterial effect than SPM1. In addition, compared with SPM1 and SPM0, SPM2 with more fMD significantly promoted rat bone marrow-derived stromal cell response in vitro. Moreover, SPM2 remarkably enhanced new bone formation and osteointegration in vivo. In summary, the combination of fMD with the microporous surface of SPM2 resulted in a nano-submicro-microporous surface with optimized surface performance, which possessed not only osteogenic bioactivity but also an antibacterial effect. As a bone implant, SPM2 with osteogenic and antibacterial functions may have enormous potential as a bone tissue substitute.

PURPOSE: As a dental material, polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is bioinert that does not induce cellular response and bone/gingival tissues regeneration. This study was to develop bioactive coating on PEEK and investigate the effects of coating on cellular response. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Tantalum pentoxide (TP) coating was fabricated on PEEK surface by vacuum evaporation and responses of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem (RBMS) cells/human gingival epithelial (HGE) were studied. RESULTS: A dense coating (around 400 nm in thickness) of TP was closely combined with PEEK (PKTP). Moreover, the coating was non-crystalline TP, which contained many small humps (around 10 nm in size), exhibiting a nanostructured surface. In addition, the roughness, hydrophilicity, surface energy, and protein adsorption of PKTP were remarkably higher than that of PEEK. Furthermore, the responses (adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic gene expression) of RBMS cells, and responses (adhesion and proliferation) of HGE cells to PKTP were remarkably improved in comparison with PEEK. It could be suggested that the nanostructured coating of TP on PEEK played crucial roles in inducing the responses of RBMS/HGE cells. CONCLUSION: PKTP with elevated surface performances and outstanding cytocompatibility might have enormous potential for dental implant application.

PURPOSE: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) exhibits high mechanical strengths and outstanding biocompatibility but biological inertness that does not excite the cell responses and stimulate bone formation. The objective of this study was to construct submicro-nano structures on PEEK by femtosecond laser (FSL) for exciting the responses of MC3T3-E1 cells and gingival epithelial (GE) cells, which induce regeneration of bone/gingival tissues for long-term stability of dental implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, submicro-nano structures were created on PEEK surface by FSL with power of 80 mW (80FPK) and 160 mW (160FPK). RESULTS: Compared with PEEK, both 80FPK and 160FPK with submicro-nano structures exhibited elevated surface performances (hydrophilicity, surface energy, roughness and protein absorption). Furthermore, in comparison with 80FPK, 160FPK further enhanced the surface performances. In addition, compared with PEEK, both 80FPK and 160FPK significantly excited not only the responses (adhesion, proliferation, alkaline phosphatase [ALP] activity and osteogenic gene expression) of MC3T3-E1 cells but also responses (adhesion as well as proliferation) of GE cells of human in vitro. Moreover, in comparison with 80FPK, 160FPK further enhanced the responses of MC3T3-E1 cells/GE cells. CONCLUSION: FSL created submicro-nano structures on PEEK with elevated surface performances, which played crucial roles in exciting the responses of MC3T3-E1 cells/GE cells. Consequently, 160FPK with elevated surface performances and outstanding cytocompatibility would have enormous potential as an implant for dental replacement.

Surface characteristics of the biomaterials have significant effects on response of osteoblast and formation of new bone tissue. In this study, to improve the bio-performance of polyimide (PI) as an implantable material for bone substitute, concentrated sulfuric acid suspension with tantalum (V) oxide (vTO) submicro-particles of 10w% (PIST10) and 15w% (PIST15) was utilized to modify PI surface. After sulfonation, microporous coatings including vTO particles were created on PI (PIST10 and PIST15) while microporous coating without vTO particles was also created on PI (PIS). Results showed that surface roughness, hydrophilicity and protein adsorption of PIST15 was remarkably higher than PIST10 and PIS. Furthermore, after soaking into simulated body fluid (SBF), no apatite mineralization on PIS was found, while PIST15 with high vTO content exhibited better apatite mineralization compared with PIST10. Moreover, PIS showed low antibacterial property, while PIST15 with high vTO content revealed better antibacterial property compared with PIST10. In addition, cellular response (such as adhesion, proliferation and alkaline phosphatase activity) of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) of rat to PIST15 was higher than PIST10 and PIS. In conclusion, the microporous coating of PIST15 including vTO submicro-particles possessed good antibacterial property and bioactivity, which significantly promoted the responses of BMSC. Therefore, PIST15 has potential application prospects for bone substitute.

Nanoporous tantalum pentoxide (NTP) particles with a pore size of about 10 nm were synthesized and blended with polyetheretherketone (PEEK) to fabricate a PEEK/NTP composite (PN). Subsequently, PN was treated by concentrated sulfuric acid to create a microporous surface (pore size of around 2 µm) on sulfonated PN (SPN), which formed a hierarchical micro & nanoporous surface. Compared with PN, the porous surface of SPN exhibited higher roughness, hydrophilicity, and surface energy. In addition, genistein (GT) was loaded into the porous surface of SPN (SPNG), which showed high GT loading capacity and sustained release of GT into phosphate buffered saline (PBS). Moreover, SPNG revealed excellent antibacterial activity, which inhibited bacterial (E. coli and S. aureus) growth in vitro due to the synergistic effects of both sulfonic acid (SO3H) groups and the sustained release of GT. Compared with PN, SPN significantly improved the adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells in vitro. Moreover, compared with SPN, SPNG further enhances the cell responses. Compared with PN, SPN remarkably improved bone formation and osteointegration in vivo. Furthermore, compared with SPN, SPNG further enhanced the osteointegration. In short, SPNG with a micro & nanoporous surface, SO3H groups, and the sustained release of GT exhibited antibacterial activity and accelerated osteointegration, which would have tremendous potential as drug-loaded implants for bone substitute.

Poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) has aroused extensive attention in the biomaterial field because of its excellent biocompatibility and appropriate degradability, but surface hydrophobicity and bioinertness limit its applications for bone repair and tissue engineering. In this study, a bioactive PPC/laponite (LAP) nanocomposite (PL) was prepared by a melt-blending method, and a microporous surface on PPC and PL (PT and PLT) was created by sodium hydroxide (NaOH) treatment. The results demonstrated that the surface roughness, hydrophilicity, surface energy, and degradability as well as protein adsorption of PLT were obviously improved compared with PPC. Moreover, the degradability of PLT was remarkably enhanced with a slight increase of pH values in Tris-HCl solution. Furthermore, adhesion and proliferation as well as osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) to PLT were significantly promoted compared with PPC. The results suggested that incorporating LAP into PPC obviously improved the surface performance of PL (with nanotopography), and surface treatment with NaOH further enhanced surface properties of PLT (with micronanotopography and hydrophilic groups), which significantly promoted responses of rBMSCs. In short, PLT displayed excellent cytocompatibility, which would have great potential for bone regeneration.

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) biomaterial has become increasingly popular in orthopedic applications due to its favorable biocompatibility, biostability, mechanical strength and elastic modulus similar to natural bones. In this research, in order to improve the biological performances of PEEK, tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) was incorporated into PEEK to fabricate PEEK/Ta2O5 composites (PTC) using a method of cold press-sintering, and surface coarsening of PTC was prepared by sand blasting. The results showed that the Ta2O5 particles were uniformly disperse into PEEK, and thermal and mechanical properties of PTC were enhanced with the increase of Ta2O5 content. In addition, incorporating Ta2O5 into PEEK and surface coarsening could improve surface roughness, hydrophilicity, surface energy and protein absorption of PTC. Furthermore, the adhesion and proliferation as well as osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs on PTC were significantly promoted and regulated by Ta2O5 content and surface coarsening. The results indicated that surface coarsening of PTC (PTCS) with high surface roughness, hydrophilicity and surface energy could induce positive cellular responses, showing good cytocompatibility. PTCS might have a great potential as implants for bone repair.
