Purpose: This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to synthesize evidence relating to the effects of TiO nanotubes on osseointegration in animal models.
Materials And Methods: The focused question was "Does the preparation of TiO nanotubes on the surface of implants enhance osseointegration?" Searches were performed for relevant manuscripts up to September 2019 using the PubMed, Embase, Scopus and Google Scholar databases with terms such as "TiO nanotubes" in combination with "osseointegration", "osteogenic", "osteogenesis", and "bone regeneration". The titles, abstracts and full texts of the manuscripts were reviewed in accordance with the eligibility criteria. The meta-analysis were then performed to analyze the effects of TiO nanotubes in bone-implant contact (BIC) and biomechanical tests.
Results: Fourteen manuscripts were included for the systematic review and meta-analysis. Eleven studies showed that the results of a histological analysis, micro-CT evaluation and biomechanical tests were significantly higher near TiO than titanium. The meta-analysis demonstrating similar results in the BIC and biomechanical tests were obtained. The selected studies also showed the preferable nanotube diameter (70, 80, or 100 nm) to enhance osseointegration in BIC and/or bone area (BA).
Conclusion: TiO nanotubes, especially those with large diameters, enhanced osseointegration near titanium implants. Compared to bare nanotubes, TiO nanotube composite coatings resulted in higher osteogenic ability.

Antimicrobial polymeric coatings rely not only on their surface functionalities but also on nanoparticles (NPs). Antimicrobial coatings gain their properties from the addition of NPs into a polymeric matrix. NPs that have been used include metal-based NPs, metal oxide NPs, carbon-based nanomaterials, and organic NPs.

Dye-sensitization is a promising strategy to improve the light absorption and photoactivity abilities of wide-bandgap semiconductors, like TiO. For effective water-splitting photoanodes with no sacrificial agents, the electrochemical potential of the dye must exceed the thermodynamic threshold needed for the oxygen evolution reaction. This study investigates two promising organic cyanoacrylic dyes, designed to meet that criterion by means of theoretical calculations.

The utilisation of implantable medical devices has become safer and more prevalent since the establishment of sterilisation methods and techniques a century ago. Nevertheless, device-associated infections remain a significant and growing concern, particularly in light of the continued rise in the number of medical device implantations. This underscores the imperative for the development of efficacious prevention and treatment strategies for device-associated infections, as well as further investigation into the design of innovative antibacterial surfaces for medical device applications.

Exosomes have emerged as a powerful biomarker for early cancer diagnosis, however, accurately detecting cancer-derived exosomes in biofluids remains a crucial challenge. In this study, we present a novel label-free electrochemical biosensor utilizing titanium dioxide nanotube array films (TiONTAs) for the sensitive detection of exosomes in complex biological samples. This innovative biosensor takes advantage of the excellent electrochemical properties of TiONTAs and their specific interactions with the phosphate groups of exosomes.
