Abstract
Implant osseointegration is reduced in patients with systemic conditions that compromise bone quality, such as osteoporosis, disuse syndrome, and type 2 diabetes. Studies using rodent models designed to mimic these compromised conditions demonstrated reduced bone-to-implant contact (BIC) or a decline in bone mineral density. These adverse effects are a consequence of disrupted intercellular communication. A variety of approaches have been developed to compensate for the altered microenvironment inherent in compromised conditions, including the use of biologics and implant surface modification. Chemical and physical modification of surface properties at the microscale, mesoscale, and nanoscale levels to closely resemble the surface topography of osteoclast resorption pits found in bone has proven to be a highly effective strategy for improving implant osseointegration. The addition of hydrophilicity to the surface further enhances osteoblast response at the bone-implant interface. These surface modifications, applied either alone or in combination, improve osseointegration by increasing proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells and enhancing angiogenesis while modulating osteoclast activity to achieve net new bone formation, although the specific effects vary with surface treatment. In addition to direct effects on surface-attached cells, the communication between bone marrow stromal cells and immunomodulatory cells is sensitive to these surface properties. This article reports on the advances in titanium surface modifications, alone and in combination with novel therapeutics in animal models of human disease affecting bone quality. It offers clinically translatable perspectives for clinicians to consider when using different surface modification strategies to improve long-term implant performance in compromised patients. This review supports the use of surface modifications, bioactive coatings, and localized therapeutics as pragmatic approaches to improve BIC and enhance osteogenic activity from both structural and molecular standpoints.

Abstract
Tissue repair and regeneration is a vital biological process in organisms, which is influenced by various internal mechanisms and microenvironments. Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) are becoming a potential medical technology due to its advantages of effectiveness and non-invasiveness. Numerous studies have demonstrated that PEMFs can stimulate stem cell proliferation and differentiation, regulate inflammatory reactions, accelerate wound healing, which is of great significance for tissue regeneration and repair, providing a solid basis for enlarging its clinical application. However, some important issues such as optimal parameter system and potential deep mechanisms remain to be resolved due to PEMFs window effect and biological complexity. Thus, it is of great importance to comprehensively summarizing and analyzing the literature related to the biological effects of PEMFs in tissue regeneration and repair. This review expounded the biological effects of PEMFs on stem cells, inflammation response, wound healing and musculoskeletal disorders in order to improve the application value of PEMFs in medicine. It is believed that with the continuous exploration of biological effects of PEMFs, it will be applied increasingly widely to tissue repair and other diseases.

Advanced surface engineering of titanium materials for biomedical applications: From static modification to dynamic responsive regulation. Bioact Mater 2023; 27:15-57.

Abstract
Titanium (Ti) and its alloys have been widely used as orthopedic implants, because of their favorable mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. Despite their significant success in various clinical applications, the probability of failure, degradation and revision is undesirably high, especially for the patients with low bone density, insufficient quantity of bone or osteoporosis, which renders the studies on surface modification of Ti still active to further improve clinical results. It is discerned that surface physicochemical properties directly influence and even control the dynamic interaction that subsequently determines the success or rejection of orthopedic implants. Therefore, it is crucial to endow bulk materials with specific surface properties of high bioactivity that can be performed by surface modification to realize the osseointegration. This article first reviews surface characteristics of Ti materials and various conventional surface modification techniques involving mechanical, physical and chemical treatments based on the formation mechanism of the modified coatings. Such conventional methods are able to improve bioactivity of Ti implants, but the surfaces with static state cannot respond to the dynamic biological cascades from the living cells and tissues. Hence, beyond traditional static design, dynamic responsive avenues are then emerging. The dynamic stimuli sources for surface functionalization can originate from environmental triggers or physiological triggers. In short, this review surveys recent developments in the surface engineering of Ti materials, with a specific emphasis on advances in static to dynamic functionality, which provides perspectives for improving bioactivity and biocompatibility of Ti implants.

Abstract
Electric/magnetic material or field is a promising strategy for bone regeneration. The aim of this systematic review and network meta-analysis was to analyze the evidence regarding the efficacy of electric and magnetic intervention for bone regeneration and provide directions for further research. A comprehensive search was performed to identify the rats/rabbits/mice research that involved the electric/magnetic treatment with quantitative radiographic assessment of bone formation. Network meta-analyses were also conducted to assess different interventions and outcomes for osteogenesis. In total, there were 51 articles included in the systematic review and 19 articles in the network meta-analyses. The majority used microcomputerized tomography bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV) to evaluate outcomes in rats. Results showed that placing electric/magnetic materials in situ had more prominent effects than the electric/magnetic field on bone regeneration. For all species, electrical materials with zeta potential of -53 mV proved to be the most effective in increasing BV (mean difference [MD]: 4.20 mm3, 95% confidence interval [CI]: [1.72-6.68]) and bone mineral density (MD: 312 mg/cm3, 95% CI: [172.43-451.57]). Magnetic materials with external magnetic fields topped in BV/TV (MD: 43%, 95% CI: [36.04-49.96]). It also led in trabecular number (MD: 2.00 mm-1, 95% CI: [1.45-2.55]), trabecular thickness (MD: 61.00 μm, 95% CI: [44.31- 77.69]), and trabecular separation (MD: -0.40 mm, 95% CI: [-0.56 to -0.24]) on the condition of lacking electric materials. Biomaterials implantation is the most effective method for stimulating osteogenesis in rats, especially in electrical materials with negative charge. The combination of diverse interventions shows promising effects but needs further research, so does the underlying mechanism. Impact Statement Bone defect, especially for the large defect from aging, trauma, or pathology, which cannot be completely healed, remains a clinical challenge. Mimicking physical microenvironment has emerged as a new strategy for tissue regeneration. Electric and magnetic material and field used as the physical stimulation for bone regeneration have attracted interest due to their potential and facile application in clinic. This article reviewed related animal studies and carried out a network meta-analysis to thoroughly understand how electric and magnetic interventions impacted on tissues and created an osteogenic microenvironment.

Bone Deterioration in Response to Chronic High-Altitude Hypoxia Is Attenuated by a Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Via the Primary Cilium/HIF-1α Axis. J Bone Miner Res 2023; 38:597-614.

Abstract
Chronic high-altitude hypoxia induces irreversible abnormalities in various organisms. Emerging evidence indicates that hypobaric hypoxia markedly suppresses bone mass and bone strength. However, few effective means have been identified to prevent such bone deficits. Here, we assessed the potential of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) to noninvasively resist bone deterioration induced by hypobaric hypoxia. We observed that exogenous PEMF treatment at 15 Hz and 20 Gauss (Gs) improved the cancellous and cortical bone mass, bone microstructure, and skeletal mechano-properties in rats subjected to chronic exposure of hypobaric hypoxia simulating an altitude of 4500 m for 6 weeks by primarily modulating osteoblasts and osteoblast-mediated bone-forming activity. Moreover, our results showed that whereas PEMF stimulated the functional activity of primary osteoblasts in hypoxic culture in vitro, it had negligible effects on osteoclasts and osteocytes exposed to hypoxia. Mechanistically, the primary cilium was found to function as the major electromagnetic sensor in osteoblasts exposed to hypoxia. The polycystins PC-1/PC-2 complex was identified as the primary calcium channel in the primary cilium of hypoxia-exposed osteoblastic cells responsible for the detection of external PEMF signals, and thereby translated these biophysical signals into intracellular biochemical events involving significant increase in the intracellular soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) expression and subsequent elevation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) concentration. The second messenger cAMP inhibited the transcription of oxygen homeostasis-related hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α), and thus enhanced osteoblast differentiation and improved bone phenotype. Overall, the present study not only advances our understanding of bone physiology at high altitudes, but more importantly, proposes effective means to ameliorate high altitude-induced bone loss in a noninvasive and cost-effective manner. © 2023 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) emerged as one of the exceptional means for bone defects owing to it providing mechanical supports to guide bone tissue regeneration. Great advances have been made to facilitate the success of BTE in regenerating bone within defects. The use of externally applied fields has been regarded as an alternative strategy for BTE. Electromagnetic fields (EMFs), known as a simple and non-invasive therapy, can remotely provide electric and magnetic stimulation to cells and biomaterials, thus applying EMFs to assist BTE would be a promising strategy for bone regeneration. When combined with BTE, EMFs improve cell adhesion to the material surface by promoting protein adsorption. Additionally, EMFs have positive effects on mesenchymal stem cells and show capabilities of pro-angiogenesis and macrophage polarization manipulation. These advantages of EMFs indicate that it is perfectly suitable for representing the adjuvant treatment of BTE. We also summarize studies concerning combinations of EMFs and diverse biomaterial types. The strategy of combining EMFs and BTE receives encouraging outcomes and holds a promising future for effectively treating bone defects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) seem effective in increasing bone mineral density and promoting osteogenesis and bone healing. OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of two different modalities of PEMFs therapy in comparison with the recommended pharmacological treatment on experimental osteoporosis in rats. METHODS The experimental model of estrogen-deficient osteoporosis induced by ovariectomy was used in this study. The animals were exposed to PEMFs of various frequencies (40 Hz and 25 Hzk), intensities (10 mT and 36.4 μT), lengths of exposure, and the effects were compared with the standard treatment with pamidronate, vitamin D, and calcium supplementation. RESULTS The application of PEMF40Hz, significantly reduced the osteoporotic bone loss in female rats that were confirmed with biochemical, biomechanical, and histological analyses. These effects were more pronounced than in osteoporotic animals treated with pamidronate, vitamin D, and calcium supplementation. On the contrary, the exposure to PEMF25Hz did not show restorative effects but led to further progression of osteoporosis. CONCLUSION The exposure to PEMF40Hz, significantly restored osteoporosis and attenuated bone fragility in comparison to the rats exposed to PEMF25Hz or those treated with pamidronate, vitamin D, and calcium supplementation.

Abstract
Animal physical rehabilitation is one of the fast-growing fields in veterinary medicine in recent years. It has become increasingly common in small animal practice and will continue to emerge as an essential aspect of veterinary medicine that plays a vital role in the care of animals with physical impairments or disabilities from surgery, injuries, or diseases.1 This is true now more than ever because of the increasing advances in lifesaving treatments, the increased lifespan of companion animals, and the growth of chronic conditions, of which many are associated with movement disorders. The American Association of Rehabilitation Veterinarians (AARV) defines APR as "the diagnosis and management of patients with painful or functionally limiting conditions, particularly those with injury or illness related to the neurologic and musculoskeletal systems." Rehabilitation not only focuses on recovery after surgical procedures but also on improving the function and quality of life in animals suffering from debilitating diseases such as arthritis or neurologic disorders. The overall goal of APR is to decrease pain, reduce edema, promote tissue healing, restore gait and mobility to its prior activity level, regain strength, prevent further injury, and promote optimal quality of life. Typically, a multimodal approach with pharmaceutical and nonpharmaceutical interventions is used by APR therapists to manage patients during their recovery. The purpose of this article aims to provide knowledge and guidance on physical rehabilitation to help veterinarians in the proper return of their patients with ZCA safely after injury and/or surgery.

Abstract
Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) is considered the third type of osteoporosis and is accompanied by high morbidity and mortality. Long-term usage of glucocorticoids (GCs) causes worsened bone quality and low bone mass via their effects on bone cells. Currently, there are various clinical pharmacological treatments to regulate bone mass and skeletal health. Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) are applied to treat patients suffering from delayed fracture healing and non-unions. PEMFs may be considered a potential and side-effect-free therapy for GIOP. PEMFs inhibit osteoclastogenesis, stimulate osteoblastogenesis, and affect the activity of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), osteocytes and blood vessels, ultimately leading to the retention of bone mass and strength. However, the underlying signaling pathways via which PEMFs influence GIOP remain unclear. This review attempts to summarize the underlying cellular mechanisms of GIOP. Furthermore, recent advances showing that PEMFs affect bone cells are discussed. Finally, we discuss the possibility of using PEMFs as therapy for GIOP.

Abstract
Primary cilia have emerged as the cellular “antenna” that can receive and transduce extracellular chemical/physical signals, thus playing an important role in regulating cellular activities. Although the electromagnetic field (EMF) is an effective treatment for bone fractures since 1978, however, the detailed mechanisms leading to such positive effects are still unclear. Primary cilia may play a central role in receiving EMF signals, translating physical signals into biochemical information, and initiating various signalingsignaling pathways to transduce signals into the nucleus. In this review, we elucidated the process of bone healing, the structure, and function of primary cilia, as well as the application and mechanism of EMF in treating fracture healing. To comprehensively understand the process of bone healing, we used bioinformatics to analyze the molecular change and associated the results with other studies. Moreover, this review summarizedsummarized some limitations in EMFs-related research and provides an outlook for ongoing studies. In conclusion, this review illustrated the primary cilia and related molecular mechanisms in the EMF-induced bone healing process, and it may shed light on future research.

Abstract
Background: The occurrence of bone fractures is increasing worldwide, mainly due to the health problems that follow the aging population. The use of additive manufacturing and electrical stimulators can be applied for bioactive achievements in bone healing. However, such technologies are difficult to be transferred to medical practice. This work aims to develop an orthosis with a combined magnetic field (CFM) electrostimulator that demonstrates concepts and design aspects that facilitate its use in a real scenario. Methods: A 3D-printed orthosis made of two meshes was manufactured using PLA for outer mechanical stabilization mesh and TPU for inner fixation mesh to avoid mobilization. A CFM stimulator of reduced dimension controlled by a mobile application was coupled onto the orthosis. The design concepts were evaluated by health professionals and their resistance to chemical agents commonly used in daily activities were tested. Their thermal, chemical and electrical properties were also characterized. Results: No degradation was observed after exposure to chemical agents. The CMF achieved proper intensity (20-40 µT). The thermal analysis indicated its appropriate use for being modelled during clinical assessment. Conclusion: An orthosis with a coupled electrostimulator that works with a combined magnetic field and is controlled by mobile application was developed, and it has advantageous characteristics when compared to traditional techniques for application in real medical environments.

Effects of Drugs and Chemotherapeutic Agents on Dental Implant Osseointegration: Narrative Review. Curr Rev Clin Exp Pharmacol 2022; 19:CRCEP-EPUB-124232. [PMID: 35674294 DOI: 10.2174/2772432817666220607114559] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2022] [Revised: 01/27/2022] [Accepted: 03/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dental implants have been one of the most popular treatments for rehabilitating individuals with single missing teeth or fully edentulous jaws since their introduction. As more implant patients are well-aged and take several medications due to various systemic conditions, clinicians should be mindful of possible drug implications on bone remodeling and osseointegration. OBJECTIVE The present study aims to study and review some desirable and some unwelcomed implications of medicine on osseointegration. METHODS A broad search for proper relevant studies were conducted in four databases, including Web of Science, Pubmed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. RESULTS Some commonly prescribed medicines such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), glucocorticoids, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), anticoagulants, metformin, and chemotherapeutic agents may jeopardize osseointegration. On the contrary, some therapeutic agents such as anabolic, anti-catabolic, or dual anabolic and anti-catabolic agents may enhance osseointegration and increase the treatment's success rate. CONCLUSION Systemic medications that enhance osseointegration include mineralization promoters and bone resorption inhibitors. On the other hand, medications often given to the elderly with systemic problems might interfere with osseointegration, leading to implant failure. However, to validate the provided research, more human studies with a higher level of evidence are required.

Abstract
This PRISMA-ScR driven scoping review aims to evaluate the influence of magnetic field stimulation on dental implant osseointegration. Seven databases were screened adopting ad-hoc strings. All clinical and preclinical studies analyzing the effects of magnetic fields on dental implant osseointegration were included. From 3124 initial items, on the basis of the eligibility criteria, 33 articles, regarding both Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Fields (PEMF) and Static magnetic Fields from permanent Magnets (SFM) were finally included and critically analyzed. In vitro studies showed a positive effect of PEMF, but contrasting effects of SFM on bone cell proliferation, whereas cell adhesion and osteogenic differentiation were induced by both types of stimulation. In vivo studies showed an increased bone-to-implant contact rate in different animal models and clinical studies revealed positive effects on implant stability, under magnetic stimulation. In conclusion, although positive effects of magnetic exposure on osteogenesis activity and osseointegration emerged, this scoping review highlighted the need for further preclinical and clinical studies. More standardized designs, accurate choice of stimulation parameters, adequate methods of evaluation of the outcomes, greater sample size and longer follow-ups are needed to clearly assess the effect of magnetic fields on dental implant osseointegration.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis is a common orthopedic disease in clinic, resulting in joint collapse if appropriate treatment is not given in time. The clinical usage of high-dose steroid is one of the common causes of osteonecrosis. In several studies, the intravenous injection of steroid with or without lipopolysaccharide is the most commonly used strategy to construct osteonecrosis animal model. However, the injection dose, frequency, and interval of steroid and validation of successful model construction lack generally accepted protocol, and the survival and model formation rates are unsatisfactory. We have optimized the construction protocol of osteonecrosis animal model based on the previously reported ones and established a mature animal model of osteonecrosis for future studies.A rabbit model of osteonecrosis was constructed by multiple injections of high-dose methylprednisolone. The multidisciplinary biomedical examinations demonstrated the successful construction of osteonecrosis model in the rabbit.

Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field (PEMF) Effect on Bone Healing in Animal Models: A Review of Its Efficacy Related to Different Type of Damage. BIOLOGY 2022; 11:biology11030402. [PMID: 35336776 PMCID: PMC8945722 DOI: 10.3390/biology11030402] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2022] [Revised: 02/18/2022] [Accepted: 03/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Simple Summary Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) are a type of biophysical stimulation that has been shown to be effective in improving bone regeneration and preventing bone loss. Their use dates back to the 1970s, but a gold standard treatment protocol has not yet been defined. PEMF efficacy relies on the generation of biopotentials, which activate several molecular pathways. There is currently no clear understanding of the effects on bone healing and, in addition, there are several animal models relevant to this issue. Therefore, drawing guidelines and conclusions from the analysis of the studies is difficult. In vivo investigations on PEMF stimulation are reviewed in this paper, focusing on molecular and morphological improvements in bone. Currently, there is little knowledge about the biological mechanism of PEMF and its effect on bone healing. This is due to the variability of crucial characteristics of electro-magnetic fields, such as amplitude and exposure frequency, which may influence the type of biological response. Furthermore, a different responsiveness of cells involved in the bone healing process is documented. Heterogeneous setting parameters and different outcome measures are considered in various animal models. Therefore, achieving comparable results is difficult. Abstract Biophysical energies are a versatile tool to stimulate tissues by generating biopotentials. In particular, pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) stimulation has intrigued researchers since the 1970s. To date, many investigations have been carried out in vivo, but a gold standard treatment protocol has not yet been defined. The main obstacles are represented by the complex setting of PEMF characteristics, the variety of animal models (including direct and indirect bone damage) and the lack of a complete understanding of the molecular pathways involved. In the present review the main studies about PEMF stimulation in animal models with bone impairment were reviewed. PEMF signal characteristics were investigated, as well as their effect on molecular pathways and osseous morphological features. We believe that this review might be a useful starting point for a prospective study in a clinical setting. Consistent evidence from the literature suggests a potential beneficial role of PEMF in clinical practice. Nevertheless, the wide variability of selected parameters (frequency, duration, and amplitude) and the heterogeneity of applied protocols make it difficult to draw certain conclusions about PEMF effectiveness in clinical implementation to promote bone healing. Deepening the knowledge regarding the most consistent results reported in literature to date, we believe that this review may be a useful starting point to propose standardized experimental guidelines. This might provide a solid base for further controlled trials, to investigate PEMF efficacy in bone damage conditions during routine clinical practice.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is an age-related metabolic disease that results in limited bone regeneration capacity and excessive osteoclast activity. After arthroplasty in patients with osteoporosis, poor interface osseointegration resulting from insufficient bone regeneration ability often leads to catastrophic complications such as prosthesis displacement and loosening and periprosthetic fractures. In this study, we prepared a thermosensitive hydrogel loaded with bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) to promote osteogenesis and osteoprotegerin (OPG) to inhibit excessive osteoclast activity. To construct three-dimensional (3D)-printed composite scaffolds for implantation, a hydrogel loaded with drugs was injected into porous Ti6Al4V scaffolds. The 3D-printed composite scaffolds showed good biocompatibility and sustained release of BMP-2 and OPG for more than 20 days. In vitro experiments indicated that composite scaffolds promoted osteogenic differentiation and reduced the osteoclastic activation simultaneously. Remarkably, immunofluorescence staining, micro-CT, histological, and biomechanical tests demonstrated that the sustained release of both BMP-2 and OPG from composite scaffolds significantly improved bone ingrowth and osseointegration in osteoporotic defects. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that the BMP-2- and OPG-loaded 3D-printed composite scaffolds can potentially promote osseointegration for osteoporotic patients after joint replacement.

Abstract
Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy and melatonin (MEL) supplementation are expected to be important strategies for the treatment of osteoporosis. The aim of the current study was to investigate the efficacy of PEMF therapy, MEL supplementation, a combination of PEMF therapy, and MEL supplementation (PEMF + MEL) in mice with bilateral ovariectomy (OVX)-induced osteoporosis. Forty 12-week-old female C57/BL mice were randomly assigned to five groups (n = 8/group): OVX, PEMF, MEL, PEMF + MEL, and sham-operation (sham) groups. All mice in the first four groups were subjected to OVX. The mice in the PEMF and PEMF + MEL groups were exposed to PEMF (75 Hz, 1.6 mT, 1 h/day for 12 weeks), while those in the MEL and PEMF + MEL groups were administered MEL (50 mg/kg, i.p.). Body mass, micro-computed tomography, histology, immunohistochemistry, and real-time polymerase chain reaction were performed. PEMF + MEL treatment enhanced bone volume fraction (BV/TV) 2.2-fold over OVX control (P < 0.001) and increased expression levels of collagen type I (COL1) 1.9-fold and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) 2.5-fold. PEMF + MEL also reduced the ratio of bone surface/bone volume (BS/BV) by 40% (P < 0.05) and appeared to reduce the number of osteoclasts in the metaphysis area. Preservation of bone value and bone microarchitecture in the combined therapy group were found to be superior to those in the single treatment groups. However, there were no apparent differences between the PEMF and MEL groups. The use of a combination of PEMF therapy and MEL supplementation may be an effective method to treat osteoporosis. © 2021 Bioelectromagnetics Society.

Abstract
Ultrasound has the potential to be broadly applied in the field of agricultural food processing due to advantages such as environmental friendliness, low energy costs, no need for exogenous additives and ease of operation. High-frequency ultrasound is mainly used in medical diagnosis and in the food industry for the identification of ingredients and production line quality testing, while low-frequency ultrasounds is mainly used for extraction and separation, accelerating chemical reactions, auxiliary microbial fermentation and quality enhancement in food industry. Magnetic fields have many advantages of convenient use, such as non-toxic, nonpolluting and safe. High-intensity pulsed magnetic fields are widely used as a physical non-thermal sterilization technology in food processing, while weak magnetic fields are better at activating microorganisms and promoting their growth. Ultrasound and magnetic fields, due to their positive biological effects, have a wide range of applications in the food processing industry. This paper provides an overview of the research progress and applications of ultrasound and magnetic fields in food processing from the perspectives of their biological effects and mechanisms of action. Additionally, with the development and application of physical field technology, physical fields can now be used to provide significant technical advantages for assisting fermentation. Suitable physical fields can promote the growth of microbial cells, improve mycelial production and increase metabolic activity. Furthermore, the current status of research into the use of ultrasound and magnetic field technologies for assisting the fermentation of rare edible fungi, is discussed.

Abstract
In this article, we provide an extensive review of the recent literature of the signaling pathways modulated by Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMFs) and PEMFs clinical application. A review of the literature was performed on two medical electronic databases (PubMed and Embase) from 3 to 5 March 2021. Three authors performed the evaluation of the studies and the data extraction. All studies for this review were selected following these inclusion criteria: studies written in English, studies available in full text and studies published in peer-reviewed journal. Molecular biology, identifying cell membrane receptors and pathways involved in bone healing, and studying PEMFs target of action are giving a solid basis for clinical applications of PEMFs. However, further biology studies and clinical trials with clear and standardized parameters (intensity, frequency, dose, duration, type of coil) are required to clarify the precise dose-response relationship and to understand the real applications in clinical practice of PEMFs.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) results in compromised bone microstructure and quality, and subsequently increased risks of fractures. However, it still lacks safe and effective approaches resisting T2DM bone fragility. Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) exposure has proven to be effective in accelerating fracture healing and attenuating osteopenia/osteoporosis induced by estrogen deficiency. Nevertheless, whether and how PEMFs resist T2DM-associated bone deterioration remain not fully identified. The KK-Ay mouse was used as the T2DM model. We found that PEMF stimulation with 2 h/day for 8 wk remarkably improved trabecular bone microarchitecture, decreased cortical bone porosity, and promoted trabecular and cortical bone material properties in KK-Ay mice. PEMF stimulated bone formation in KK-Ay mice, as evidenced by increased serum levels of bone formation (osteocalcin and P1NP), enhanced bone formation rate, and increased osteoblast number. PEMF significantly suppressed osteocytic apoptosis and sclerostin expression in KK-Ay mice. PEMF exerted beneficial effects on osteoblast- and osteocyte-related gene expression in the skeleton of KK-Ay mice. Nevertheless, PEMF exerted no effect on serum biomarkers of bone resorption (TRAcP5b and CTX-1), osteoclast number, or osteoclast-specific gene expression (TRAP and cathepsin K). PEMF upregulated gene expression of canonical Wnt ligands (including Wnt1, Wnt3a, and Wnt10b), but not noncanonical Wnt5a. PEMF also upregulated skeletal protein expression of downstream p-GSK-3β and β-catenin in KK-Ay mice. Moreover, PEMF-induced improvement in bone microstructure, mechanical strength, and bone formation in KK-Ay mice was abolished after intragastric administration with the Wnt antagonist ETC-159. Together, our results suggest that PEMF can improve bone microarchitecture and quality by enhancing the biological activities of osteoblasts and osteocytes, which are associated with the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. PEMF might become an effective countermeasure against T2DM-induced bone deterioration.NEW & NOTEWORTHY PEMF improved trabecular bone microarchitecture and suppressed cortical bone porosity in T2DM KK-Ay mice. It attenuated T2DM-induced detrimental consequence on trabecular and cortical bone material properties. PEMF resisted bone deterioration in KK-Ay mice by enhancing osteoblast-mediated bone formation. PEMF also significantly suppressed osteocytic apoptosis and sclerostin expression in KK-Ay mice. The therapeutic potential of PEMF on T2DM-induced bone deterioration was associated with the activation of Wnt/ß-catenin signaling.

Abstract
The US FDA has approved pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) as a safe and effective treatment for nonunions of bone. Despite its clinical use, the mechanisms of action of electromagnetic stimulation of the skeleton have been elusive. Recently, cell membrane receptors have been identified as the site of action of PEMF and provide a mechanistic rationale for clinical use. This review highlights key processes in cell responses to PEMF as follows: (1) signal transduction through A2A and A3 adenosine cell membrane receptors and (2) dose-response effects on the synthesis of structural and signaling extracellular matrix (ECM) components. Through these actions, PEMF can increase the structural integrity of bone and cartilage ECM, enhancing repair, and alter the homeostatic balance of signaling cytokines, producing anti-inflammatory effects. PEMFs exert a proanabolic effect on the bone and cartilage matrix and a chondroprotective effect counteracting the catabolic effects of inflammation in the joint environment. Understanding of PEMF membrane targets, and of the specific intracellular pathways involved, culminating in the synthesis of ECM proteins and reduction in inflammatory cytokines, should enhance confidence in the clinical use of PEMF and the identification of clinical conditions likely to be affected by PEMF exposure.
