Titanium offers excellent biocompatibility and extraordinary mechanical properties. As a result, it is used as a material for dental implants. Implants infected by peri-implantitis can be cleaned for successful re-osseointegration. Optimal surface properties, such as roughness and wettability, have a significant impact on cell adhesion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the adhesion and proliferation of osteoblasts on the surface of repeatedly cleaned nanostructured titanium samples. Human osteoblast-like cells MG-63 were seeded on nanostructured titanium specimens manufactured from rods produced by the equal channel angular pressing. For surface characterization, roughness and wettability were measured. Cell adhesion after 2 h as well as cell proliferation after 48 h from plating was assessed. We have found that this repeated cleaning of titanium surface reduced cell adhesion as well as proliferation. These events depend on interplay of surface properties, such as wettability, roughness and topography. It is difficult to distinguish which factors are responsible for these events and further investigations will be required. However, even after the several rounds of repeated cleaning, there was a certain rate of adhesion and proliferation recorded. Therefore the attempts to save failing implants by using in situ cleaning are promising.

This study investigated the effects of various titanium nanoparticles (TiONPs) on the structure, function, and trophic levels of the wheat rhizobiome. In contrast to the typically toxic effects of small nanoparticles (~10 nm), this research focused on molecular TiO and larger nanoparticles, as follows: medium-sized (68 nm, NPs1) and large (>100 nm, NPs2). The results demonstrated significant yet diverse impacts of different TiO forms on the rhizosphere microbiota.

Nanocrystalline TiO is a perspective semiconductor gas-sensing material due to its long-term stability of performance, but it is limited in application because of high electrical resistance. In this paper, a gas-sensing nanocomposite material with p-p heterojunction is introduced based on p-conducting Cr-doped TiO in combination with p-conducting CrO. Materials were synthesized via a single-step flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) technique and comprehensively studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) specific surface area analysis, transition electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and Raman spectroscopy.

With the rapid development of modern science and technology and the diversification of social needs, traditional single-performance materials struggle to meet the complex and changeable application scenarios. To address the multifaceted requirements of biomedical applications, such as disease diagnosis and treatment, scientists are dedicated to developing new multifunctional biomaterials with multiple activities. BiTiO (BTO), despite its versatility and application potential, has insufficient photocatalytic performance.

Article Synopsis
  • Biomagnetic fluid dynamics (BFD) focuses on the behavior of bio-fluids, like blood, impacted by magnetic fields, which is important for medical applications such as targeted medication delivery and tumor treatment.
  • This study examines blood flow dynamics using trihybrid nanoparticles in a catheterized artery, factoring in various electromagnetic influences and propulsion mechanisms.
  • Key findings include that increasing Hall and ion-slip parameters boosts blood velocity, modifies entropy generation, and shows that modified hybrid nano-blood forms smaller, more manageable clumps compared to pure blood, with longer cilia enhancing recovery of these clumps.
