Aims: To prevent peri-implantitis, we investigated the adhesion of periodontopathogenic bacteria to titanium surfaces using a hydrophobic 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) polymer to inhibit adhesion.
Method And Results: We immersed titanium plates (TiPs) coated with a hydrophobic MPC polymer in a bacterial suspension for 30 min or 24 h and measured the number of adherent bacteria. Bacteria adhering to the TiPs were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Furthermore, mimicking an oral cavity, TiPs coated with MPC polymer and saliva, were immersed in bacterial suspensions of Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Streptococcus mutans for 24 h, and adenosine triphosphate in the adherent bacteria was measured.Bacterial adhesion was significantly inhibited on MPC polymer-coated TiPs after 30 min and 24 h. SEM results showed a similar trend. Bacterial adhesion was significantly inhibited on MPC polymer-treated TiPs in the presence of saliva, both before and after MPC treatment. Furthermore, their effectiveness was maintained when the MPC polymer-treated TiPs were stored in saline for 1 week.
Conclusions: Hydrophobic MPC polymer coating on TiP surface inhibited bacterial adhesion, indicating that it may be effective in preventing peri-implantitis.

N-Heterocyclic carbenes are highly effective ligands for anchoring functional organic molecules to metal surfaces and nanoparticles, facilitating the formation of self-assembled monolayers. However, their adsorption on surface is difficult to predict and control, and there is an ongoing debate on the geometry of NHC derivatives on gold surfaces and on the role of gold adatoms. We present two single molecules based on a benzimidazole NHC, one equipped with a thiophene substituent, and the other ending with a Br atom.

Conductive hydrogels are highly attractive in 3D bioprinting of tissue engineered scaffolds for skin injury repair. However, their application is limited by mismatched electrical signal conduction mode and poor printability. Herein, the 3D bioprinting-assisted fabrication of a double-layer ionic conductive skin scaffold using a newly designed ionic conductive biomimetic bioink (GHCM) is reported, which is composed of gelatin methacrylate (GelMA), oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA), carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), and 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) for the treatment of full-thickness skin defects.

Developing functional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with high electrical conductivity is crucial for their applications as advanced electronic materials. In this work, we for the first time construct a new family of functional and highly conductive MOFs using metalloporphyrazine (MPz) ligands based on a trimming-π concept via cutting the benzene ring from molecular metallopthalocynine (MPc). The deprotonation-after-coordination synthetic method affords crystalline MPz-Cu-NH MOFs with square lattices.

Statement Of Problem: Studies focusing on the effect of zwitterionic polymer content on the physical and biological properties of additively manufactured (AM) ceramic-reinforced resin for dental applications are lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) on the surface properties, mechanical properties, microbial adhesion, and cellular responses of ceramic-reinforced resins.
Material And Methods: Four different groups of AM resins filled with 60 wt% silicate-based composites and varying concentrations of MPC were prepared: 0 wt% (CRN), 1.
