In case of severe bone damage or fracture, synthetic bone grafts have long been applied for replacing natural bone tissue. Recent advances in this area have led to development of dual-functional synthetic hard tissue analogs exhibiting high biocompability/osteoconductivity together with therapeutic effect. Metallic ions are promising therapeutic agents in treatment of bone tumors due to their high physiological stability and availability compared to other alternative therapeutic agents such as recombinant proteins, therapeutic nucleic acids and anti-cancer drugs. Selenium, in that respect, is effective therapeutic agent with promising anti-oxidant and anti-carcinogenic effect when used in proper doses. In this study, selenium-incorporated hydroxyapatite (HAp:Se) particles have been synthesized by modified aqueous precipitation method using calcium (Ca(NO3)2•4H2O) and phosphate ((NH4)2HPO4) salts with sodium selenite (Na2SeO3). The effect of Se incorporation in different amounts on the physical, chemical properties and crystal structure of resultant HAp powders have been explored. Complete chemical identification was performed with spectroscopical chemical analyses including Fourier transform infrared and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to elucidate the mechanism and chemical nature of Se incorporation in HAp. Meanwhile, transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction studies by Rietveld refinement have conducted to explain changes in the HAp crystallite and crystal structure upon Se incorporation. The results indicate that vi well-incorporated selenite ions in HAp mostly accommodate near very top surface of HAp (1-2 nm). Also, position of Se ions in HAp crystal structure were estimated to be inside phosphate tetrahedral with limited extend of Se ions. B-type carbonation (3-5 wt. %), nanocrystalline structure and low crystalline surface of HAp:Se particles are believed to lead to high biocompatibility and increased solubility of these particles. Also, anti-cancer effect of Se ion incorporates in HAp nanoparticles are associated with two-step release of Se ionic species; first surface release of them in high extents and subsequently release from HAp:Se crystallites in low extends; therefore, initial release kinetics of Se ions are believed to be critical in biological tests.

Synthesis of selenium-incorporated alpha-tricalcium phosphate and evaluation of its cement-type reactivity
Baştuğ Azer, Bersu; Durucan, Caner; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2019)
In the case of bone defects and damages synthetic bone grafts have been widely used for filling the damaged parts. Alpha-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) is an attractive calcium orthophosphate as replacement of hard tissues. It converts from powder form to hardened apatite, by cement-type reaction in aqueous solutions, which is therefore a promising hard bone tissue analog and clinically used in bone defect filling operations. In this concept adding therapeutic function to the hardened cement products is an ad...
Preparation and characterization of acrylic bone cements
Endoğan, Tuğba; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Department of Chemistry (2005)
Acrylic bone cements are used in dentistry and orthopedic surgery to fix prosthetic devices into the bone. Bone cements transfer and distribute the applied load and increase the load-carrying capacity of the prosthesis/cement/bone system with the help of mechanical bonding between the device and the bone. In spite of all their advantages, bone cements have several drawbacks such as insufficient mechanical properties, high exothermic polymerization temperature, release of monomer to the environmental tissue ...
Synthesis of baghdadite using modified sol–gel route and investigation of its properties for bone treatment applications
Jodati, Hossein; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Evis, Zafer; Alshemary, Ammar Z; ÇELİK, ERDAL (2022-01-01)
The requirement for biomaterials with superior properties, used in bone treatment applications, is inevitable due to escalated bone tissue defects. Baghdadite (BAG) is a calcium silicate that benefits from the presence of zirconium (Zr) in its structure and has attracted huge attention in recent years. In this study, a modified sol–gel route was proposed to synthesize BAG by dissolving Zr precursor separately and using optimum amounts of solvent and chelating agent. Due to thermal gravimetric analysis and d...
Development of clinoptilolite/poly ε-caprolactone -polyethylene glycol - poly ε-caprolactone triblock copolymer based scaffolds for bone tissue engineering
Pazarçeviren, Ahmet Engin; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Keskin, Dilek; Department of Engineering Sciences (2016)
Bone tissue engineering mainly depends on the feasible substitutes with ability to regenerate damaged bone tissue. One of the applications in which bone tissue engineering mainly focuses on is the production of bone tissue scaffolds. These scaffolds are expected to be biocompatible, highly interconnective and porous to provide a niche for colonizing bone cells. In addition, bone tissue scaffolds should be mechanically strong enough to accommodate compression. Scaffolds should also be biodegradable to encour...
Local delivery of bioactive agents for bone tissue engineering
Alissa Alam, Hani; Keskin, Dilek; Özen, Can; Department of Biotechnology (2017)
Many cases of bone defects require bone grafts addition into the body. Bone tissue substitutes have more advantages over other bone grafts because of low infection risk and abundance of materials. Local delivery of drugs or bioactive agents can help in these diseases’ treatments and bone growth overall while avoiding side effects or drug interference. To accelerate local bone regrowth, a research about developing a controlled local release system of bioactive agents to bone cells was conducted in this study...
