Abstract
Biomaterials having higher strength and increased bioactivity are widely researched topics in the area of scaffold and implant fabrication. Metal-based biomaterials are favorably suitable for load-bearing implants due to their outstanding mechanical and structural properties. The issue with pure metallic material used for bio-implant is the mismatch between the mechanical properties of the human body parts and the implant. The mismatch in modulus and hardness values causes damage to muscles and other body parts due to the phenomena of 'stress-shielding'. As per the rule of mixture, combining a biocompatible ceramic with metals will not only lower the overall mechanical strength, but will also enhance the composite's bioactivity. In the present work, a Metal-Ceramic composite of Ti and μ-HAp is processed through high-energy mechanical alloying. The μ-HAp powders (in a weight fraction of 1%, 2%, and 3%) were alloyed with Pure Ti powder sintered using microwave hybrid heating (MHH). The homogeneously alloyed materials were inspected for chemical and elemental characteristics using XRD, SEM-EDX, and FTIR analyses. Nano-mechanical and micro-hardness properties were inspected for the fabricated Ti- μ-HAp composites and it shows a decreasing trend. Elastic modulus declined from 130.8 GPa to 50.11 GPa for 3 wt% μ-HAp compared to pure-Ti sample. The mechanical behaviour of developed composites confirms that it can minimize the stress-shielding impact due to comparatively lesser strength and hardness than pure metallic samples.

Abstract
Additive manufacturing (AM) is an important technology that led to a high evolution in the manufacture of personalized implants adapted to the anatomical requirements of patients. Due to a worldwide graft shortage, synthetic scaffolds must be developed. Regarding this aspect, biodegradable materials such as magnesium and its alloys are a possible solution because the second surgery for implant removal is eliminated. Magnesium (Mg) exhibits mechanical properties, which are similar to human bone, biodegradability in human fluids, high biocompatibility, and increased ability to stimulate new bone formation. A current research trend consists of Mg-based scaffold design and manufacture using AM technologies. This review presents the importance of biodegradable implants in treating bone defects, the most used AM methods to produce Mg scaffolds based on powder metallurgy, AM-manufactured implants properties, and in vitro and in vivo analysis. Scaffold properties such as biodegradation, densification, mechanical properties, microstructure, and biocompatibility are presented with examples extracted from the recent literature. The challenges for AM-produced Mg implants by taking into account the available literature are also discussed.

Abstract
Abstract
This study developed a biodegradable composite porous polyurethane scaffold based on polycaprolactone and polyethylene glycol by sequential in-situ foaming salt leaching and freeze-drying process with responsive shape changing performance. Biomineral hydroxyapatite (HA) was introduced into the polyurethane matrix as inorganic fillers. Infrared spectroscopy results proved a successful synthesis, scanning electron microscopy showed that the scaffold’s porosity decreased with the addition of HA while the average pore size increased. X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry showed that the addition of HA lowered the melting point of the scaffold, resulting in a transition temperature close to the human body temperature. From the bending experiments, it could be demonstrated that PUHA20 has excellent shape memory performance with shape fixity ratio >98.9% and shape recovery ratio >96.2%. Interestingly, the shape-changing capacity could be influenced by the porous structures with variation of HA content. The shape recovery speed was further accelerated when the material was immersed in phosphate buffered saline at 37 °C. Additionally, in vitro mineralization experiments showed that the scaffold incorporating HA had good osteoconductivity, and implantation assessment proved that scaffolds had good in vivo biocompatibility. This scaffold is a promising candidate for implantation of bone defects.

Abstract
The repair and reconstruction of tracheal defects is a challenging clinical problem. Due to the wide choice of materials and structures, weaving technology has shown unique advantages in simulating the multilayer structure of the trachea and providing reliable performance. Currently, most woven stent-based stents focus only on the effect of materials on stent performance while ignoring the direct effect of woven process parameters on stent performance, and the advantages of weaving technology in tissue regeneration have not been fully exploited. Therefore, this review will introduce the effects of stent materials and fabric construction on the performance of tracheal stents, focusing on the effects of weaving process parameters on stent performance. We will summarize the problems faced by woven stents and possible directions of development in the hope of broadening the technical field of artificial trachea preparation.

Biodegradable open-porous scaffolds made of sintered magnesium W4 and WZ21 short fibres show biocompatibility in vitro and in long-term in vivo evaluation. Acta Biomater 2022; 148:389-404. [PMID: 35691561 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.06.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2022] [Revised: 05/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Open-porous scaffolds made of W4 and WZ21 fibres were evaluated to analyse their potential as an implant material. WZ21 scaffolds without any surface modification or coating, showed promising mechanical properties which were comparable to the W4 scaffolds tested in previous studies. Eudiometric testing results were dependent on the experimental setup, with corrosion rates differing by a factor of 3. Cytotoxicity testing of WZ21 showed sufficient cytocompatibility. The corrosion behavior of the WZ21 scaffolds in different cell culture media are indicating a selective dealloying of elements from the magnesium scaffold by different solutions. Long term in-vivo studies were using 24 W4 scaffolds and 12 WZ21 scaffolds, both implanted in rabbit femoral condyles. The condyles and important inner organs were explanted after 6, 12 and 24 weeks and analyzed. The in-vivo corrosion rate of the WZ21 scaffolds calculated by microCT-based volume loss was up to 49 times slower than the in-vitro corrosion rate based on weight loss. Intramembranous bone formation within the scaffolds of both alloys was revealed, however a low corrosion rate and formation of gas cavities at initial time points were also detected. No systemic or local toxicity could be observed. Investigations by μ-XRF did not reveal accumulation of yttrium in the neighboring tissue. In summary, the magnesium scaffold´s performance is biocompatible, but would benefit from a surface modification, such as a coating to obtain lower the initial corrosion rates, and hereby establish a promising open-porous implant material for load-bearing applications. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Magnesium is an ideal temporary implant material for non-load bearing applications like bigger bone defects, since it degrades in the body over time. Here we developed and tested in vitro and in a rabbit model in vivo degradable open porous scaffolds made of sintered magnesium W4 and WZ21 short fibres. These scaffolds allow the ingrowth of cells and blood vessels to promote bone healing and regeneration. Both fibre types showed in vitro sufficient cytocompatibility and proliferation rates and in vivo, no systemic toxicity could be detected. At the implantation site, intramembranous bone formation accompanied by ingrowth of supplying blood vessels within the scaffolds of both alloys could be detected.

Abstract
Regeneration of long-bone segmental defects remains a challenge for orthopedic surgery. Current treatment options often require several revision procedures to maintain acceptable alignment and achieve osseous healing. A novel hollow tubular system utilizing magnesium-strontium (Mg-Sr) alloy with autogenous morselized bone filled inside to repair segmental defects was developed. To improve the corrosion and biocompatible properties, two coatings, Ca-P and Sr-P coatings, were prepared on surface of the implants. Feasibility of applying these coated implants was systematically evaluated in vitro and in vivo, and simultaneously to have a better understanding on the relationship of degradation and bone regeneration on the healing process. According to the in vitro corrosion study by electrochemical measurements, greater corrosion resistance was obtained for Ca-P coated sample, and attributed to the double-layer protective structure. The cytotoxicity and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) assays demonstrated enhanced bioactivity for Sr-P coated group because of the long-lasting release of beneficial Sr2+. At 12 weeks post-implantation with Mg-Sr alloy porous device, the segmental defects were effectively repaired with respect to both integrity and continuity. In addition, compared with the Ca-P coated implant, the Sr-P coated implant was more proficient at promoting bone formation and mineralization. In summary, the Sr-P coated implants have bioactive properties and exceptional durability, and promote bone healing that is close to the natural rate, implying their potential application for the regeneration of segmental defects.

Abstract
In order to avoid the stress shielding phenomenon in orthopedic bionic bone implantation, it is necessary to consider the design of mechanical compatible implants imitating the host bone. In this study, we developed a novel cancellous bone structure design method aimed at ensuring the mechanical compatibility between the bionic bone and human bone by means of computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis technology (specifically, finite element modeling (FEM)). An orthogonal lattice model with volume porosity between 59% and 96% was developed by means of CAD. The effective equivalent elastic modulus of a honeycomb structure with square holes was studied by FEM simulation. With the purpose of verifying the validity of the cancellous bone structure design method, the honeycomb structure was fabricated by selective laser sintering (SLS) and the actual equivalent elastic modulus of the honeycomb structure was measured with a uniaxial compression test. The experimental results were compared with the FEM values and the predicted values. The results showed that the stiffness values of the designed structures were within the acceptable range of human cancellous bone of 50–500 MPa, which was similar to the stiffness values of human vertebrae L1 and L5. From the point of view of mechanical strength, the established cellular model can effectively match the elastic modulus of human vertebrae cancellous bone. The functional relationship between the volume porosity of the nylon square-pore honeycomb structure ranging from 59% to 96% and the effective elastic modulus was established. The effect of structural changes related to the manufacture of honeycomb structures on the equivalent elastic modulus of honeycomb structures was studied quantitatively by finite element modeling.

Abstract
Purpose A bioactive and degradable scaffold of ternary composite with good biocompatibility and osteogenesis was developed for bone tissue repair. Materials and Methods Polybutylene succinate (PS:50 wt%), magnesium phosphate (MP:40 wt%) and wheat protein (WP:10 wt%) composite (PMWC) scaffold was fabricated, and the biological performances of PMWC were evaluated both in vitro and vivo in this study. Results PMWC scaffold possessed not only interconnected macropores (400 μm to 600 μm) but also micropores (10 μm ~20 μm) on the walls of macropores. Incorporation of MP into composite improved the apatite mineralization (bioactivity) of PMWC scaffold in simulated body fluid (SBF), and addition of WP into composite further enhanced the degradability of PMWC in PBS compared with the scaffold of PS (50 wt%)/MP (50 wt%) composite (PMC) and PS alone. In addition, the PMWC scaffold containing MP and WP significantly promoted the proliferation and differentiation of mouse pre-osteoblastic cell line (MC3T3-E1) cells. Moreover, the images from synchrotron radiation microcomputed tomography (SRmCT) and histological sections of the in vivo implantation suggested that the PMWC scaffold containing MP and WP prominently improved the new bone formation and ingrowth compared with PMC and PS. Furthermore, the immunohistochemical analysis further confirmed that the PMWC scaffold obviously promoted osteogenesis and vascularization in vivo compared with PMC and PS. Conclusion This study demonstrated that the biocompatible PMWC scaffold with improved bioactivity and degradability significantly promoted the osteogenesis and vascularization in vivo, which would have a great potential to be applied for bone tissue repair.

Abstract
Tissue engineering (TE) provides a practicable method for tissue and organ repair or substitution. As the most important component of TE, a scaffold plays a critical role in providing a growing environment for cell proliferation and functional differentiation as well as good mechanical support. And the restorative effects are greatly dependent upon the nature of the scaffold including the composition, morphology, structure, and mechanical performance. Medical textiles have been widely employed in the clinic for a long time and are being extensively investigated as TE scaffolds. However, unfortunately, the advantages of textile technology cannot be fully exploited in tissue regeneration due to the ignoring of the diversity of fabric structures. Therefore, this review focuses on textile-based scaffolds, emphasizing the significance of the fabric design and the resultant characteristics of cell behavior and extracellular matrix reconstruction. The structure and mechanical behavior of the fabrics constructed by various textile techniques for different tissue repairs are summarized. Furthermore, the prospect of structural design in the TE scaffold preparation was anticipated, including profiled fibers and some unique and complex textile structures. Hopefully, the readers of this review would appreciate the importance of structural design of the scaffold and the usefulness of textile-based TE scaffolds in tissue regeneration.
