Osteoconductive layer-by-layer films of Poly(4-hydroxy-L-proline ester) (PHPE) and Tannic acid

2018-06-01
Orthopedic implants have shown major success in clinics after successful orthopedic surgeries. However, they are also associated with several drawbacks such as local and systemic immune reaction in the body and improper integration of the bone with the implants. Osteoconductivity is a property of orthopedic implants that promotes bone cell adhesion and bone tissue integration on implant surfaces. This study presents use of a biodegradable cationic polyester, poly(4-hydroxy-L-proline ester) (PHPE) together with Tannic Acid (TA) as building blocks in construction of layer-by-layer (LbL) films to impart osteoconductive properties to multilayer films. Water-soluble complexes of PHPE and TA (PHPE-TA) were prepared at pH 4 and then LbL deposited at the surface without using a polymer counterpart. Multilayers were then cross-linked using NaIO4 to enhance their stability under physiological conditions. Potential of multilayers as an osteoconductive coating were assessed by (i) osteoblast-like cell adhesion; (ii) determination of collagen deposition by cells and (iii) the determination of extracellular matrix (ECM) mineralization and the results were compared to control substrates, i.e. cell culture plate well surface and collagen-coated substrates. PHPE-TA multilayers were found to be adhesive for SaOS-2 osteoblast-like cells and promoted collagen-rich nodule formation and mineralization of the ECM without causing cytotoxicity. PHPE-TA multilayers promoted higher alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and mineralization of the ECM, compared to collagen-coated surfaces. Importantly, PHPE-TA multilayers exhibited osteoconductive behavior without need for incorporation of bioactive natural polymers like collagen and hyaluronic acid or calcium phosphate ceramics into the multilayer films. Such LbL films are promising to modify the surfaces of orthopedic implants to impart osteoconductive properties to a surface.

Achieving the stable osteointegration of prosthetic implants is one of the great challenges of modern orthopedic surgery. The fixation of ceramic acetabular cups of hip joint prostheses is usually achieved using a metal shell provided with screws or pegs that penetrate into the host pelvic bone. The deposition of bioactive coatings on the implant surface to be put in contact with bone could be a valuable strategy to promote a more physiological osteointegration. In this work, bioactive glass porous coatings...
Resorbable PCEC/gelatin-bismuth doped bioglass-graphene oxide bilayer membranes for guided bone regeneration
Pazarçeviren, Ahmet Engin; Evis, Zafer; Keskin, Dilek; Tezcaner, Ayşen (IOP Publishing, 2019-05-01)
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a therapeutic modality applied prior to dental implant placement to increase bone density at the defect site or during placement for directing bone growth around implant. In this study, an asymmetric, bilayer structure was prepared by covalently bonding a dense polycaprolactone-polyethylene glycol-polycaprolactone (PCEC) membrane layer with a hydrogel layer composed of bismuth doped bioactive glass (BG, 45S5) and graphene oxide (GO) particles incorporated in gelatin. Struct...
Biomechanics of the Gazi type pelvis external skeletal fixator
Korkusuz, Feza; Kaymak, O; Citipitioglu, E; Akkas, N (1997-01-01)
External skeletal fixation is an alternative method of treatment to conventional therapy and open surgical procedures in pelvis fractures. The appropriate type of frame and the configuration of the connecting bars of these fixators are under investigation. In the Gazi type pelvis external fixator (GPEF) which has been developed, a 70 degrees angulation is applied to the connecting bars of the anterior quadrangular frame. This configuration, which is expected to improve the stability of the posterior column ...
Decreased Staphylococcus aureus and increased osteoblast density on nanostructured electrophoretic-deposited hydroxyapatite on titanium without the use of pharmaceuticals

Background: Plasma-spray deposition of hydroxyapatite on titanium (Ti) has proven to be a suboptimal solution to improve orthopedic-implant success rates, as demonstrated by the increasing number of orthopedic revision surgeries due to infection, implant loosening, and a myriad of other reasons. This could be in part due to the high heat involved during plasma-spray deposition, which significantly increases hydroxyapatite crystal growth into the nonbiologically inspired micron regime. There has been a push ...
Graphene oxide reinforced doped dicalcium phosphate bone cements for bone tissue regenerations
Motameni, Ali; Alshemary, Ammar Z.; Dalgic, Ali Deniz; Keskin, Dilek; Evis, Zafer (2022-09-01)
Artificial bone cements have widespread applications in orthopedic and dental surgeries. Nevertheless, there is a need to develop novel materials for artificial bone cements due to limitations like short-service life, weak interaction and attachment with living hard tissue, and the inability to facilitate bone regeneration of calcified tissues rather than replacing them. In the present research, a novel combination of lanthanum (La3+) ions doped dicalcium phosphate (DCP) (La-DCP) and 1.5-3.5 wt.% of graphen...
