Hollow hydroxyapatite nanospheres were prepared by a two-phase approach by controlling nucleation and crystal growth processes. The cavities of hollow HA provide potential applications as new kinds of containers for carrying, filling in, or encapsulating other materials, thus constructing a multifunctional system with good biocompatibility.

Production of heterogenous bone radiopacity phantom using 3D printing.
Phys Eng Sci Med
December 2024
Faculty of Dentistry, Dentomaxillofacial Radiology Department, Ankara University, Ankara, Türkiye.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on creating a customizable 3D-printed bone phantom that mimics real bone radiopacity for various medical applications, including education and surgical planning.
- Researchers combined direct and indirect methods, using SLA 3D printing with a modified photoreactive resin that includes hydroxyapatite to achieve realistic bone-equivalent radiodensity.
- The resulting phantoms demonstrated comparable attenuation coefficients to real bone, indicating their effectiveness in simulating bone characteristics without significant statistical difference.
Uncemented Customized Hollow Stems in Tumor Endoprosthetic Replacement-A Good Opportunity to Protect the Adjacent Joint in Children?
J Pers Med
August 2024
Department of Orthopedic Oncology, University Hospital Essen, 45147 Essen, Germany.
This study aimed to retrospectively analyze the follow-up results of cases in which the adjacent joint was preserved using a custom-made uncemented short-stem design (hollow stem) with optional external flanches in tumor endoprosthetic replacement due to bone sarcomas in 13 patients (with an average age of 9.6 years) between 2017 and 2023. Reconstructions were proximal femur ( = 6), intercalary femur ( = 4), intercalary tibia ( = 2), and proximal humerus ( = 1) tumor prostheses.

Int J Cardiovasc Imaging
October 2024
Department of Radiology, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, No.197 Ruijin Er Road, Shanghai, 200025, China.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to validate coronary artery calcium scores (CACS) using photon-counting detector (PCD) CT, examining different scanning settings to optimize both accuracy and radiation dose.
- - A phantom with various calcification sizes and densities, along with 12 patients, was tested using multiple scanning modes and voltages, with PCD-CT results closely matching the reference EID-CT method.
- - Results indicated PCD-CT provides precise and consistent CACS, with significant radiation dose reductions; Sn100kV, 90kV, and 120kV in flash mode at IQ20 are recommended for clinical use.
A Superparamagnetic Composite Hydrogel Scaffold as In Vivo Dynamic Monitorable Theranostic Platform for Osteoarthritis Regeneration.
Adv Mater

Institute of Sports Medicine, Beijing Key Laboratory of Sports Injuries, Peking University Third Hospital, Beijing, 100191, China.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent disease, characterized by subchondral fractures in its initial stages, which has no precise and specific treatment now. Here, a novel multifunctional scaffold is synthesized by photopolymerizing glycidyl methacrylate-modified hyaluronic acid (GMHA) as the matrix in the presence of hollow porous magnetic microspheres based on hydroxyapatite. In vivo subchondral bone repairing results demonstrate that the scaffold's meticulous design has most suitable properties for subchondral bone repair.

Aesthetic Plast Surg
September 2024
Hospital do Servidor Público Municipal de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.
Background: The facial aging process entails alterations in the volume, shape, and texture of all skin layers over time. Calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) is a well-established safe skin filler with unique properties to resolve some skin alterations by stimulating neocollagenesis. The vectoral-lift (V-lift) technique targets the global repositioning of facial structures by addressing distinct anatomical injection planes.
