Article Abstract
This study investigated the effect of shape, size, and surface modification of hydroxyapatite (HAP) fillers on the degree of conversion (DC) and mechanical properties of a model BisGMA/TEGDMA composite initially and after 4 weeks of storage. Ten percent of conventional glass fillers were replaced by HAP spheres (Sph), silicon-doped spheres (SphSi), whiskers (Wh), silicon-doped whiskers (WhSi), and nanosized HAP particles (Nano). Spheres were specifically structured agglomerates consisting of a central void and radially orientated primary particles, whereas whiskers were compact monocrystals. DC, Vickers hardness (HV), flexural strength (Fs), flexural modulus (Ef), compressive strength (Cs), and compressive modulus (Ec) were tested. There were no significant differences in the DC between all tested groups. HV decreased by 5.4-17% with the addition of HAP, while Fs increased by 13.9-29% except in Nano group (decrease by 13%). After storage, Sph and SphSi groups showed similar HV, Ef, Cs and Ec and higher Fs than the control. The fracture mode of HAP spheres was through the central void whereas whiskers showed longitudinal delamination, transverse, and mixed fractures. HAP spheres with or without silicon- doping have a potential to be part of the filler content of dental composites.

Background: Interferon gamma‑1b has been proposed to treat critical illness-induced immunosuppression. We aimed to determine the effects on 90-day outcomes and the cost-effectiveness of interferon gamma‑1b compared to placebo in mechanically ventilated critically ill patients.
Methods: A cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) was embedded in the "PREV-HAP trial", a multicenter, placebo‑controlled, randomized trial, which randomly assigned critically ill adults under mechanical ventilation to receive interferon gamma or placebo.

Article Synopsis
- This study examined how two types of hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanoparticles—rod-shaped and sphere-shaped—affect blood components like plasma, platelets, and red blood cells.
- It found that sphere-shaped HAP is more likely to adhere to platelets, while rod-shaped HAP tends to cause more hemolysis (destruction of red blood cells).
- Both types of HAP show good blood compatibility at 20 mM, but sphere-shaped HAP may increase white blood cell counts more, indicating potential greater toxicity, although both shapes remain within safe limits.

In response to the pressing need for more efficient and targeted cancer therapies, this study presents the development of biodegradable hydroxyapatite/polyaniline (HAp/PANI) nanocomposite drug carriers for near-infrared (NIR)-induced drug delivery. The synthesis involved loading polyaniline onto mesoporous hydroxyapatite spheres, resulting in high drug loading capacity and tunable NIR responsiveness. The HAp/PANI spheres exhibited superior photothermal properties compared to pristine HAp under NIR irradiation, along with excellent biocompatibility.

Since hydroxyapatite (HAp) is an important constituent of bone and teeth, it has excellent biocompatibility and bioactivity, good osteoconductive effects and the ability to induce bone formation as a material for bone or tooth repair and replacement. At present, widely used HAp microspheres have some characteristics, such as large specific surface area, light mass, good injection properties, good fluidity, and low aggregation ability, but they are difficult to really meet the biological and clinical needs due to their own mechanical property defects, such as low strength, brittleness, and poor plasticity. Based on the current research status of HAp microspheres, we summarize the research progress of various types of composite microspheres, including inorganic materials, natural polymer materials and synthetic polymer materials, and further analyze the advantages of HAp composite microspheres loaded with drug molecules, proteins and bioactive factors, so as to explore the development prospect of HAp composite microspheres as scaffolds for constructing sustained release systems.

With the development of agricultural intensification, phosphorus (P) accumulation in croplands and sediments has resulted in the increasingly widespread interaction between inorganic and organic P species, which has been, previously, underestimated or even ignored. We quantified the nanoscale dissolution kinetics of sparingly soluble brushite (CaHPO·2HO, DCPD) over a broad range of phosphate and/or phytate concentrations by using in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM). Compared to water, we found that low concentrations of phosphate (1-1000 µM) or phytate (1-100 µM) inhibited brushite dissolution by slowing single step retraction.
