Nonunion is a significant complication in fracture management for surgeons. Salvianolic acid A (SAA), derived from the traditional Chinese plant Salviae miltiorrhizae Bunge (Danshen), exhibits notable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Although studies have demonstrated its ability to promote osteogenic differentiation, the exact mechanism of action remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of various SAA concentrations on the osteogenic differentiation of mouse-derived bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (mBMSCs) and the osteoclastic differentiation of bone marrow-derived macrophages. Our findings indicate that SAA promotes the osteogenic differentiation of mBMSCs in a concentration-dependent manner, primarily by inhibiting the Notch1 signaling pathway. Notably, the administration of two Notch1 agonists (Jagged-1 and VPA) inhibited the effects of SAA on osteogenic differentiation. Additionally, SAA facilitated the autophagic degradation of NICD1, further enhancing osteogenic differentiation. Furthermore, SAA also dose-dependently inhibited the osteoclastic differentiation of bone marrow-derived macrophages, which is linked to its suppression of NF-κB signaling pathways. In a fracture model, SAA demonstrated a capacity to promote healing. In conclusion, SAA enhances bone fracture healing by balancing osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation.

Alcoholic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (AIONFH) is caused by long-term heavy drinking, which leads to abnormal alcohol and lipid metabolism, resulting in femoral head tissue damage, and then pathological necrosis of femoral head tissue. If not treated in time in clinical practice, it will seriously affect the quality of life of patients and even require hip replacement to treat alcoholic femoral head necrosis. This study will confirm whether M2 macrophage exosome (M2-Exo) miR-122 mediates alcohol-induced BMSCs osteogenic differentiation, ultimately leading to the inhibition of femoral head necrosis.

This study examines the biocompatibility, osteogenic potential, and effectiveness of polyether ether ketone (PEEK) composites for treating osteonecrosis, seeking to establish a theoretical basis for clinical application. A range of PEEK composite materials, including sulfonated polyether ether ketone (SPEEK), polydopamine-sulfonated polyether ether ketone (SPEEK-PDA), bone-forming peptide-poly-dopamine-sulfonated polyether ether ketone (SPEEK-PDA-BFP), and vascular endothelial growth factor-poly-dopamine-sulfonated polyether ether ketone (SPEEK-PDA-VEGF), were constructed by concentrated sulfuric acid sulfonation, polydopamine modification and grafting of bioactive factors. The experiments involved adult male New Zealand rabbits aged 24-28 weeks and weighing 2.

Blood clots (BCs) play a crucial biomechanical role in promoting osteogenesis and regulating mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) function and fate. This study shows that BC formation enhances MSC osteogenesis by activating Itgb1/Fak-mediated focal adhesion and subsequent Runx2-mediated bone regeneration. Notably, BC viscoelasticity regulates this effect by modulating Runx2 nuclear translocation.
