Abstract
Osteointegration is a key process during dental implant placement and is related to titanium surface topography. Implant coating and surface modification methods ameliorate the bone production and the osteogenic process. The current work aimed at evaluating the biological outcomes of two different surfaces of dental implants, machined and titanium nitride (TiN) coated, at an inflammation level using an in vitro model of human periodontal ligament stem cells. The TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB p65/NLRP3 pathway induced by the Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide was studied by means of gene- and protein-level expression. Moreover, the expression of vimentin, vinculin, and fibronectin was evaluated to investigate their effects on the cell adhesion and extracellular matrix deposition. The results of the present study suggest that TiN-coated titanium disks may modulate inflammation by the suppression of the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB p65/NLRP3 pathway and accelerate extracellular matrix apposition.

Abstract
Recently polymeric materials have gained tremendous attention in a wide variety of applications spanning from electronics to environmental and biomedical fields. In this paper, current in vitro methods for polymers biocompatibility assessment are reviewed in combination with new concepts and techniques that appear promising for the development and improvement of in vitro methods with the purpose of reducing animal experimentation. The utilization of medical devices, for example, has always been subordinate to the assessment of their biocompatibility. This aspect, as well as the methods for evaluating biocompatibility have changed over the years as a result of new developments in cell biology that have revolutionized in vitro techniques for assaying polymeric materials for bioapplications.

Abstract
Magnetic porous silicon flakes (MPSF) were obtained from mesoporous silicon layers formed by multi-step anodization and subsequent composite formation with Fe oxide nanoparticles by thermal annealing. The magnetic nanoparticles adhered to the surface and penetrated inside the pores. Their structure evolved as a result of the annealing treatments derived from X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption analyses. Moreover, by tailoring the magnetic load, the dynamic and hydrodynamic properties of the particles were controlled, as observed by the pressure displayed against a sensor probe. Preliminary functionality experiments were performed using an eye model, seeking potential use of MPSF as reinforcement for restored detached retina. It was observed that optimal flake immobilization is obtained when the MPSF reach values of magnetic saturation >10(-4)Am(2)g(-1). Furthermore, the MPSF were demonstrated to be preliminarily biocompatible in vitro. Moreover, New Zealand rabbit in vivo models demonstrated their short-term histocompatibility and their magnetic functionality as retina pressure actuators.

Abstract
TiN coating has been demonstrated to improve the biocompatibility of bare NiTi alloys; however, essential biocompatibility differences between NiTi alloys before and after TiN coating are not known so far. In this study, to explore the underlying biological mechanisms of biocompatibility differences between them, the changes of bare and TiN-coated NiTi alloys in surface chemical composition, morphology, hydrophilicity, Ni ions release, cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and gene expression profiles were compared using energy-dispersive spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, contact angle, surface energy, Ni ions release analysis, the methylthiazoltetrazolium (MTT) method, flow cytometry and microarray methods, respectively. Pathways binding to networks and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were employed to analyze and validate the microarray data, respectively. It was found that, compared with the bare NiTi alloys, TiN coating significantly decreased Ni ions content on the surfaces of the NiTi alloys and reduced the release of Ni ions from the alloys, attenuated the inhibition of Ni ions to the expression of genes associated with anti-inflammatory, and also suppressed the promotion of Ni ions to the expression of apoptosis-related genes. Moreover, TiN coating distinctly improved the hydrophilicity and uniformity of the surfaces of the NiTi alloys, and contributed to the expression of genes participating in cell adhesion and other physiological activities. These results indicate that the TiN-coated NiTi alloys will help overcome the shortcomings of NiTi alloys used in clinical application currently, and can be expected to be a replacement of biomaterials for a medical device field.

Abstract
This work describes a novel process for the fabrication of hybrid nanostructured particles showing intense tunable photoluminescence and a simultaneous ferromagnetic behavior. The fabrication process involves the synthesis of nanostructured porous silicon (NPSi) by chemical anodization of crystalline silicon and subsequent in pore growth of Co nanoparticles by electrochemically-assisted infiltration. Final particles are obtained by subsequent sonication of the Co-infiltrated NPSi layers and conjugation with poly(ethylene glycol) aiming at enhancing their hydrophilic character. These particles respond to magnetic fields, emit light in the visible when excited in the UV range, and internalize into human mesenchymal stem cells with no apoptosis induction. Furthermore, cytotoxicity in in-vitro systems confirms their biocompatibility and the viability of the cells after incorporation of the particles. The hybrid nanostructured particles might represent powerful research tools as cellular trackers or in cellular therapy since they allow combining two or more properties into a single particle.

Abstract
We demonstrate the use of copolymer micelle lithography using polystyrene-block-poly(2-vinylpyridine) reverse micelle thin films in their as-coated form to create nanopillars with tunable dimensions and spacing, on different substrates such as silicon, silicon oxide, silicon nitride and quartz. The promise of the approach as a versatile application oriented platform is highlighted by demonstrating its utility for creating super-hydrophobic surfaces, fabrication of nanoporous polymeric membranes, and controlling the areal density of physical vapor deposition derived titanium nitride nanostructures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cytotoxicity of nickel-based alloy surfaces after nitride film coatings. METHODS A total of 120 disc-shaped specimens (1.5 x 12.0mm) were prepared from nickel (Ni) alloy ingots and metallurgically ground with silicon carbide (SiC) sandpaper to 1200 grit and used as the ground group. Ninety specimens from the ground group were selected and further polished with 1.0 microm aluminum powder slurry and assigned as the polished group. Titanium nitride (TiN) and titanium-aluminum nitride (TiAlN) film coatings were deposited onto 30 polished specimens each by a reactive radio frequency magnetron sputter deposition system and used as coated groups, respectively. The morphological changes and cytoskeleton of tested human gingival fibroblasts were observed using fluorescence microscopy at 3h and 24h time periods, respectively. An MTT assay was used to assess cell viability at 24h. The results were statistically analyzed (n=5, ANOVA, Scheffe', p<0.05). RESULTS After 3h of incubation, cells began to spread on the test surfaces. Spindle-shaped fibroblasts with well-developed cytoskeleton and distinct actin fibers were observed at the 24h incubation point on the polished and coated specimens. Results of the MTT assay revealed that the TiN and TiAlN film coated groups were significantly higher in cell proliferation and viability than the polished and control groups (p<0.05). SIGNIFICANCE The biocompatibility of Ni-based alloy was increased significantly after nitride film coating.

Abstract
In this study, the effect of the crystallographic phases of titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) on hepatocyte response was investigated by culturing cells in a medium containing a dissolution of rutile TiO(2) powders, and on anatase and rutile ceramic discs. When the concentration of Ti ions exceeded 0.16 microg/mL, TiO(2) exhibited cytotoxicity. However, in a range of concentrations between 10(-6) and 10(-3)microg/mL, the Ti ion leached out from the powder stimulated cell proliferation. Cytocompatibility was also examined by the cell attachment and proliferation on the TiO(2) discs. The results show that the surface characteristic of the TiO(2) discs was the main factor influencing cell attachment, and the cells were better attached on the dense surface of the discs with high crystallinity than on the loose surface with low crystallinity. Both the surface characteristic and the crystallographic phase affected cell proliferation. In addition to the dense surface with high crystallinity, the anatase ceramics was in favor of cell proliferation as compared to the rutile ceramics sintered at the same temperature. In conclusion, the results suggest that the dense rutile ceramic with high crystallinity is a good substrate for hepatocytes.
