Background: The newest generation of cementless titanium-coated, isoelastic monoblock cup with vitamin E-blended highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) was introduced to the market in 2009. The aim of the present study was to obtain mid-term follow-up data including migration and wear analyses.
Methods: This prospective study investigated 101 primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) cases in 96 patients treated at a single institution. Patients were allowed full weight-bearing on the first day postoperatively. Harris hip score (HHS) and pain and satisfication on a visual analogue scale (VAS) were assessed at a mean follow-up of 79.0 months. Migration and wear were assessed using Einzel-Bild-Roentgen-Analyse (EBRA) software. Radiological acetabular bone alterations and complications were documented.
Results: At mid-term follow-up (mean 79.0 months, range: 51.8-101.7), 81 cases with complete clinical and radiological data were analyzed. Utilisable EBRA measurements were obtained for 42 hips. The mean HHS was 91.1 (range 38.0-100.0), VAS satisfaction was 9.6 (range 6.0-10.0), VAS rest pain was 0.2 (range 0.0-4.0), and VAS load pain was 0.6 (range 0.0-9.0). Mean migration was 0.86 mm (range: 0.0-2.56) at 24 months and 1.34 mm (range: 0.09-3.14) at 5 years, and the mean annual migration rate was 0.22 (range: - 0.24-1.34). The mean total wear was 0.4 mm (range: 0.03-1.0), corresponding to a mean annual wear rate of 0.06 mm per year (range: 0.0-0.17). Radiographic analysis did not reveal any cases of osteolysis, and no revision surgeries had to be performed.
Conclusions: After using vitamin-E blended HXLPE in cementless isoelastic monoblock cups, there were no obvious signs of osteolysis or aseptic loosening occurred. No patients required revision surgery after mid-term follow-up. Cup migration and wear values were well below the benchmarks considered predictive for potential future failure.
Trial Registration: The trial registration number on ClinicalTrials.gov : NCT04322916 (retrospectively registered at 26.03.2020).

The development of conductive hydrogels has garnered significant attention in the field of wearable devices and smart sensors. However, the fabrication of hydrogels that possess both multifunctionality and structural stability remains a challenging task. In this study, a novel hydrogel, PHCB, was synthesized using a mild method and exhibited outstanding characteristics such as electrical conductivity, self-healing capability, antimicrobial activity, dimensional stability, and temperature sensitivity.

Context: This study employs molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the nanoscale tribological behavior of a single transverse grain boundary in a nickel-based polycrystalline alloy. A series of simulations were conducted using a repetitive rotational friction method to explore the mechanisms by which different grain boundary positions influence variations in wear depth, friction force, friction coefficient, dislocation, stress, and internal damage during repeated friction processes. The results reveal that the grain boundary structure enhances the strength of the nanoscale nickel-based polycrystalline alloy.

Tire and road wear particles (TRWP) are generated at the frictional interface between tires and the road surface. This mixture of tire tread and road pavement materials can migrate from roads into nearby water bodies during precipitation events. The absence of mass-based measurements in marine environments introduces uncertainty in environmental risk assessments and fate and transport models.

Concerns over food safety arising from conventional plastic and resin-based corrosion barriers cannot be underestimated, particularly in light of the potential for plasticizer migration. We introduce an environmental-friendly and sustainable approach to develop superhydrophobic and anticorrosion coatings. This involved a unique process where glutenin, post-reduction with tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine, underwent a phase transition, naturally adhering to diverse surfaces to form a foundational primer.

Friction at sliding interfaces, even in the atomistically smooth limit, can proceed through many energy dissipation channels, such as phononic and electronic excitation. These processes are often entangled and difficult to distinguish, eliminate, and control, especially in the presence of wear. Structural superlubricity (SSL) is a wear-free state with ultralow friction that closes most of the dissipation channels, except for electronic friction, which raises a critical concern of how to effectively eliminate and control such a channel.
