Tantalum (Ta) metal has emerged as a prominent material within the realm of bone tissue engineering, owing to its favorable biocompatibility, commendable mechanical attributes, and notable biological properties such as osteoconductivity, osteoinductivity, and angiogenic potential. However, as clinical applications have expanded, Ta implants have unveiled a spectrum of limitations. Consequently, porous tantalum (PTa) has garnered escalating interest, attributable to its unique microstructural attributes, tunable mechanical characteristics, and inherent biocompatibility. Various methodologies have been proposed to modify the surface of PTa, with the aim of accelerating and enhancing osseous integration while fostering more robust osseointegration. Strategic surface modifications have the potential to augment the inherent advantages of PTa, thereby offering diverse avenues for exploration within the realm of surface effects on PTa. This review elucidates the ongoing research endeavors concerning diverse biomaterial coatings applied to PTa surfaces in the context of bone tissue engineering.

Bone mineral density is the primary basis for the diagnosis of osteoporosis. Bone mineral density measurement methods include dual-energy X-ray (DXA) and quantitative computed tomography (QCT). Based on traditional bone density detection equipment, the newly developed imaging detection technology can further detect the microstructures and geometric features of bones, providing important reference for exploring the pathophysiological changes, sensitive clinical diagnosis, and disease monitoring of osteoporosis.

Recent literature has increasingly demonstrated the significant function of autonomic nerves in regulating physiological and pathological changes associated with the skeletal system. Extensive studies have been conducted to understand the contribution of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) to skeletal metabolic homeostasis and resistance to aseptic inflammation, specifically from the viewpoint of skeletal neurobiology. There have been plenty of studies on how the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), the two main branches of the ANS, regulate bone remodeling, which is the process of bone formation and resorption.
