The bone defects arising as a result of trauma should be filled to provide a framework to support and encourage the growth of new and living bone tissues. Among the many synthetic bone graft substitutes, self-hardening calcium phosphate (CP) cements have been widely used to repair hard tissue defects. In this study, pure dical-cium phosphate (DCP) and lanthanum (La) modified dicalcium phosphate (La-DCP) bone cements were prepared based on acid/base reaction between beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta TCP) (or La-beta TCP) and monocalcium phosphate monohydrate (MCPM) in the presence of water. The prepared bone cements were characterized using XRD, FTIR and SEM techniques to verify both La doping and to explore the alterations in the structural and molecular properties upon doping. With minimum addition of La3+ ions (0.090 mol), the pure phase of brushite trans-formed into monetite and the plate-like crystals of brushite turned into spheroid particles. The setting times of DCP bone cement declined gradually upon boosting amount of La3+ ions in DCP lattice. As the La amount in DCP cements rose from 0 to 0.225 mol, the compressive strength also increased from 7.90 +/- 0.8 to 9.64 +/- 1.47 MPa. The dissolution rate of DCP cements improved with addition of La3+ ions. Adsorption/desorption of Fetal bovine serum (FBS) on/from the prepared DCP bone cements showed higher protein loading of La-DCP cements than pure DCP. In vitro experiments on proliferation, adhesion, and osteogenic differentiation of Sarcoma osteogenic (Saos-2) cells indicated that addition 0.225 mol of La3+ ions promoted these properties compared to pure DCP. Results suggested that La3+ (0.225 mol) incorporated DCP bone cement (2La-DCP) has a potential to be used as a bone filler material.

The fracture of bone due to trauma or due to natural aging is one of the most frequent types of tissue failures. Treatment frequently requires the implantation of ct temporary or permanent prosthesis. The implanted materials may include the components of artificial joints, plates, and screws for fracture fixation. Typically, such implants are intended only to provide structural support or to serve as templates for bone re-growth. In general they are intended to remain in place for the life of the patient or...
Numerical aspects of anisotropic failure in soft biological tissues favor energy-based criteria: A rate-dependent anisotropic crack phase-field model
Gueltekin, Osman; Dal, Hüsnü; Holzapfel, Gerhard A. (2018-04-01)
A deeper understanding to predict fracture in soft biological tissues is of crucial importance to better guide and improve medical monitoring, planning of surgical interventions and risk assessment of diseases such as aortic dissection, aneurysms, atherosclerosis and tears in tendons and ligaments. In our previous contribution (Gultekin et al., 2016) we have addressed the rupture of aortic tissue by applying a holistic geometrical approach to fracture, namely the crack phase-field approach emanating from va...

Osteoporosis is a major health problem characterized by compromised bone strength predisposing patients to an increased risk of fracture. It may cause morbidity and mortality in elderly men and women. The etiologic factors that lead to senile osteoporosis still are unclear.
Decellularized Bone Extracellular Matrix-Coated Electrospun PBAT Microfibrous Membranes with Cell Instructive Ability and Improved Bone Tissue Forming Capacity

Current approaches to develop bone tissue engineering scaffolds have some limitations and shortcomings. They mainly suffer from combining mechanical stability and bioactivity on the same platform. Synthetic polymers are able to produce mechanically stable sturctures with fibrous morphology when they are electrospun, however, they cannot exhibit bioactivity, which is crucial for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. One current strategy to bring bioactivity in synthetic materials is to combine extrac...
Improvement of bioactivity with dual bioceramic incorporation to nanofibrous PCL scaffolds
Altunordu, Gercem; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Evis, Zafer; Keskin, Dilek (2023-03-01)
Bone tissue injuries, diseases or related clinical interventions require bone tissue engineering (BTE) approaches for regeneration of large bone defects, especially for compromised situations. Most BTE applications in literature focused on composites of polymers with a single type of bioceramic. However, native bone matrix has various inorganic components. Accordingly, this study aimed to investigate the use of dual bioceramics in BTE scaffolds prepared by wet-electrospinning of Poly-caprolactone (PCL) and ...
