AI Article Synopsis

  • * The research assesses how human osteoblasts and adipose stem cells interact with these HA-treated implants compared to unmodified ones, using advanced imaging techniques to observe cellular behavior.
  • * Results show that the HA surface treatment enhances protein adhesion and promotes the production of key extracellular matrix components, suggesting it significantly improves the implant's bone integration potential.

Article Abstract

The high rate of rejection and failure of orthopedic implants is primarily attributed to incomplete osseointegration and stress at the implant-to-bone interface due to significant differences in the mechanical properties of the implant and the surrounding bone. Various surface treatments have been developed to enhance the osteoconductive properties of implants. The aim of this work was the in vitro characterization of titanium alloy modified with a nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite surface layer in relative comparison to unmodified controls. This investigation focused on the behavior of the surface treatment in relation to the physiological environment. Moreover, the osteogenic response of human osteoblasts and adipose stem cells was assessed. Qualitative characterization of cellular interaction was performed via confocal laser scanning microscopy focusing on the cell nuclei and cytoskeletons. Filipodia were assessed using scanning electron microscopy. The results highlight that the HA treatment promotes protein adhesion as well as gene expression of osteoblasts and stem cells, which is relevant for the inorganic and organic components of the extracellular matrix and bone. In particular, cells grown onto HA-modified titanium alloy are able to promote ECM production, leading to a high expression of collagen I and non-collagenous proteins, which are crucial for regulating mineral matrix formation. Moreover, they present an impressive amount of filipodia having long extensions all over the test surface. These findings suggest that the HA surface treatment under investigation effectively enhances the osteoconductive properties of Ti6Al4V ELI.

Simple Scaling as a Tool to Help Assess the Closure-Free / Versus Δ Curve in a Range of Materials.

Recent studies have proposed a simple formula, which is based on Elber's original approach to account for -ratio effects, for determining the crack closure-free Δ versus / curve from the measured -ratio-dependent Δ versus / curves. This approach, which is termed "Simple Scaling," has been shown to collapse the various -ratio-dependent curves onto a single curve. Indeed, this approach has been verified for a number of tests on metals, polymers, and a medium-entropy alloy.

Gristina et al. (1987) suggested that the fate of a biomaterial is decided in a "race for the surface" between pathogens and the host. To gain deeper insight into the mechanisms behind this concept, we investigated the "race for the surface" across three co-culture scenarios with THP-1 macrophages and Staphylococcus aureus (1:1 ratio), varying the order of addition: (i) simultaneous, (ii) macrophages first, and (iii) S.

Evaluation of the immune response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells cultured on Ti6Al4V-ELI polished or etched surfaces.

Introduction: While titanium and its alloys exhibit excellent biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, their polished surfaces can hinder fast and effective osseointegration and other biological processes, such as angiogenesis, due to their inert and hydrophobic properties. Despite being commonly used for orthopedic implants, research focuses on developing surface treatments to improve osseointegration, promoting cell adhesion and proliferation, as well as increasing protein adsorption capacity. This study explores a chemical treatment intended for titanium-based implants that enhances tissue integration without compromising the mechanical properties of the Ti6Al4V substrate.

Among Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies, Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) has made a great contribution to optimizing the production of customized implant materials. However, the design of the ideal surface topography, capable of exerting the best biological effect without drawbacks, is still a subject of study. The aim of the present study is to topographically and biologically characterize AM-produced Ti6Al4V ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) samples by comparing different surface finishing.

Effect of Temperature on Thermal Oxidation Behavior of Ti-6Al-4V ELI Alloy.

Faculty of Science and Technology, Institute of Materials Engineering, University of Silesia, 75 Pułku Piechoty 1A, 41-500 Chorzów, Poland.

In this paper, the morphological, micromechanical and tribological characteristics of the Ti-6Al-4V ELI alloy after thermal oxidation (TO) were identified. TO was carried out at temperatures of 848 K, 898 K and 948 K over a period of 50 h. Microscopic examination revealed that an increase in temperature resulted in an improved uniformity of coverage and an increased oxide grain size.
