Abstract
The tendon-bone interface heals through scar tissue, while the lack of a natural interface gradient structure and collagen fibre alignment leads to the occurrence of retearing. Therefore, the promotion of tendon healing has become the focus of regenerative medicine. The purpose of this study was to develop a gradient COL1/ hydroxyapatite (HAp) biomaterial loaded with human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs). The performance of common cross-linking agents, Genipin, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide/N-hydroxysuccinimide (EDC/NHS), and dual cross-linked materials were compared to select the best cross-linking mechanism to optimize the biological and mechanical properties of the scaffold. The optimal COL1/HAp-loaded with hAMSCs were implanted into the tendon-bone rotator cuff interfaces in rats and the effect on the tendon-bone healing was assessed by micro-CT, histological analysis, and biomechanical properties. The results showed that Genipin and EDC/NHS dual cross-linked COL1/HAp had good biological activity and mechanical properties and promoted the proliferation and differentiation of hAMSCs. Animal experiments showed that the group using a scaffold loaded with hAMSCs had excellent continuity and orientation of collagen fibers, increased fibrocartilage and bone formation, and significantly higher biomechanical functions than the control group at the interface at 12 weeks post operation. This study demonstrated that dual cross-linked gradient COL1/HAp-loaded hAMSCs could promote interface healing, thereby providing a feasible strategy for tendon-bone interface regeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Frontal sinus obliteration is often performed using fat, autologous bone or a range of synthetic materials. This paper reports the long-term clinical and radiological outcomes of frontal sinus obliteration using beta-tricalcium phosphate putty. METHODS A retrospective audit was performed of patients who underwent frontal sinus obliteration with beta-tricalcium phosphate putty. Patient-, disease- and procedure-related data were collected. Pre- and post-operative computed tomography scans were reviewed to assess bone integration. RESULTS Four patients underwent frontal sinus obliteration using beta-tricalcium phosphate putty for treatment of a cerebrospinal leak, mucocele and recalcitrant frontal sinusitis. All patients had disease resolution, with no intra- or post-operative complications reported in the 16.5-month follow up. Post-operative computed tomography scans confirmed native bone obliteration of the frontonasal ducts in all patients. CONCLUSION Beta-tricalcium phosphate putty is a safe and effective option for bone obliteration of the frontal sinus in a range of pathologies, including cerebrospinal fluid leak.

Abstract
The combination of electrical stimulation (ES) and bone tissue engineering (BTE) has been successful in treatments of bone regeneration. This study evaluated the effects of ES combined with PCL + β-TCP 5% scaffolds obtained by rotary jet spinning (RJS) in the regeneration of bone defects in the calvaria of Wistar rats. We used 120 animals with induced bone defects divided into 4 groups (n = 30): (C) without treatment; (S) with PCL+ β-TCP 5% scaffold; (ES) treated with ES (10 μA/5 min); (ES + S) with PCL + β-TCP 5% scaffold. The ES occurred twice a week during the entire experimental period. Cell viability (in vitro: Days 3 and 7) and histomorphometric, histochemical, and immunohistochemical (in vivo; Days 30, 60, and 90) analysis were performed. In vitro, ES + S increased cell viability after Day 7 of incubation. In vivo, it was observed modulation of inflammatory cells in ES therapy, which also promoted blood vessels proliferation, and increase of collagen. Moreover, ES therapy played a role in osteogenesis by decreasing ligand kappa B nuclear factor-TNFSF11 (RANKL), increasing alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and decreasing the tartarate-resistant acid phosphatase. The combination of ES with RJS scaffolds may be a promising strategy for bone defects regeneration, since the therapy controlled inflammation, favored blood vessels proliferation, and osteogenesis, which are important processes in bone remodeling.

Fish Bone Derived Bi-Phasic Calcium Phosphate Coatings Fabricated by Pulsed Laser Deposition for Biomedical Applications. Mar Drugs 2020; 18:md18120623.

Abstract
We report on new biomaterials with promising bone and cartilage regeneration potential, from sustainable, cheap resources of fish origin. Thin films were fabricated from fish bone-derived bi-phasic calcium phosphate targets via pulsed laser deposition with a KrF * excimer laser source (λ = 248 nm, τFWHM ≤ 25 ns). Targets and deposited nanostructures were characterized by SEM and XRD, as well as by Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) and FTIR spectroscopy. Films were next assessed in vitro by dedicated cytocompatibility and antimicrobial assays. Films were Ca-deficient and contained a significant fraction of β-tricalcium phosphate apart from hydroxyapatite, which could contribute to an increased solubility and an improved biocompatibility for bone regeneration applications. The deposited structures were biocompatible as confirmed by the lack of cytotoxicity on human gingival fibroblast cells, making them promising for fast osseointegration implants. Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) coatings inhibited the microbial adhesion and/or the subsequent biofilm development. A persistent protection against bacterial colonization (Escherichia coli) was demonstrated for at least 72 h, probably due to the release of the native trace elements (i.e., Na, Mg, Si, and/or S) from fish bones. Progress is therefore expected in the realm of multifunctional thin film biomaterials, combining antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative properties for advanced implant coatings and nosocomial infections prevention applications.

Outcome of bone-patellar tendon-bone vs hamstring tendon autograft for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials with a 5-year minimum follow-up. Medicine (Baltimore) 2020; 99:e23476. [PMID: 33235137 PMCID: PMC7710199 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000023476] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2020] [Revised: 09/19/2020] [Accepted: 10/31/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Many systematic reviews have compared the short-term outcomes of anterior cruciate ligment (ACL)reconstruction with hamstring and patellar tendon autograft,but few differences have been observed. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to compare the medium-term outcome of bone-patellar tendon-bone and hamstring tendon autograft for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in terms of clinical function, knee stability, postoperativecomplications, and osteoarthritis changes. METHODS This meta-analysis followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched from inception to November 2, 2019. This meta-analysis included only randomized controlled trials that compared BPTB and HT autografts for ACL reconstruction with a 5-year minimum follow-up. The Cochrane Collaboration's risk-of-bias tool was used to estimate the risk-of-bias for all included studies. RevMan 5.3 software was used to performed statistical analysis of the outcomes. RESULTS Fifteen RCTs, involving 1298 patients (610 patients in the BPTB group and 688 patients in the HT group) were included. In terms of clinical function, no significant difference was found in the objective International Knee Documentation Committee score (OR = 0.94, 95%CI: 0.64-1.37, P = .75), Lysholm knee score (MD = -2.26, 95%CI: -4.56 to 0.05, P = .06), return to preinjury activity level (OR = 1.01, 95%CI: 0.67-1.52, P = .96), and Tegner activity level (OR = 0.03, 95%CI: -0.36 to 0.41, P = .89). There was no statistically significant difference in the Lachman test (OR = 0.86, 95%CI: 0.5-1.32, P = .50), pivot-shift test (OR = 0.68, 95%CI: 0.44-1.06, P = .09), and side-to-side difference (MD = -0.32, 95%CI: -0.81 to 0.16, P = .19). As for postoperative complications and OA changes, there were no statistically significant difference in flexion loss (OR = 1.09, 95%CI: 0.47-2.54, P = .85) and OA changes (OR = 0.76, 95%CI: 0.52-1.10, P = .15), but we found significant differences in favor of the HT group in the domains of kneeling pain (OR = 1.67, 95%CI: 1.04-2.69, P = .03), anterior knee pain (OR = 2.90, 95%CI: 1.46-5.77, P = .002), and extension loss (OR = 1.75, 95%CI: 1.12-2.75, P = .01). There was a significant difference in favor of the BPTB group in the domain of graft failure (OR = 0.59, 95%CI: 0.38-0.91, P = .02). CONCLUSIONS Based on the results above, HT autograft is comparable with the BPTB autograft in terms of clinical function, postoperative knee stability, and OA changes, with a medium-term follow-up. The HT autograft for ACL reconstruction carries a lower risk of complications, such as anterior knee pain, kneeling pain, and extension loss, but an increased incidence of graft failure. Patients should be informed of the differences when deciding on graft choice with their physician.

Abstract
Dental pulp is a connective tissue and has functions that include initiative, formative, protective, nutritive, and reparative activities. However, it has relatively low compliance, because it is enclosed in hard tissue. Its low compliance against damage, such as dental caries, results in the frequent removal of dental pulp during endodontic therapy. Loss of dental pulp frequently leads to fragility of the tooth, and eventually, a deterioration in the patient’s quality of life. With the development of biomaterials such as bioceramics and advances in pulp biology such as the identification of dental pulp stem cells, novel ideas for the preservation of dental pulp, the regenerative therapy of dental pulp, and new biomaterials for direct pulp capping have now been proposed. Therapies for dental pulp are classified into three categories; direct pulp capping, vital pulp amputation, and treatment for non-vital teeth. In this review, we discuss current and future treatment options in these therapies.

Abstract
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with a bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft yields good clinical outcomes. Despite appropriate clinical outcomes, the most common complaint after reconstruction with a bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft is anterior knee pain at the donor graft sites. Synthetic bone grafts, such as beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), have been previously used to fill the bony defect in fractures as well as removal of bony tumors, and have shown positive utility in improving anterior knee pain after ACL reconstruction. In this Technical Note, we describe the technique of placing a β-TCP graft in the donor graft site after bone-patellar tendon-bone ACL reconstruction. After standard arthroscopic ACL reconstruction, the β-TCP is appropriately sized with an osteotome and sagital saw before being placed into the patellar and tibial donor sites. A 0-Vicryl suture is used to suture the periosteum to secure the β-TCP graft at the donor sites. This described technique allows for appropriate sizing and secure placement of the graft to maximize bone regeneration at the donor site.

Abstract
Direct pulp capping is an important procedure for preserving pulp viability. The pulp capping agent must possess several properties, including usability, biocompatibility, and the ability to induce reparative dentin formation. In this study, a novel bioactive glass-based cement was examined to determine whether the cement has the necessary properties to act as a direct pulp capping agent. Physicochemical properties of the bioactive glass-based cement and in vitro effects of the cement on odontoblast-like cells, as well as in vivo effects on the exposed dental pulp, were analyzed. The cement immersed in water stabilized at pH10, and hydroxyapatite-like precipitation was induced on the surface of the cement in simulate body fluid. There were no cytotoxic effects on the viability, alkaline phosphatase activity, or calcium deposition ability of odontoblast-like cells. In the in vivo rat study of an exposed dental pulp model, the cement induced a sufficient level of reparative dentin formation by odontoblast-like cells expressing odontoblastic markers at the exposed area of the dental pulp. These results suggest that the newly developed bioactive glass-based cement provides favorable biocompatibility with the dental pulp and may be useful as a direct pulp capping agent. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Insufficient repair of the bone-to-tendon interface (BTI) with structural/compositional gradients has been a significant challenge in orthopedics. In this study, dual growth factor (platelet-derived growth factor-BB [PDGF-BB] and bone morphogenetic protein-2 [BMP-2])-immobilized polycaprolactone (PCL)/Pluronic F127 asymmetrically porous membrane was fabricated to estimate its feasibility as a potential strategy for effective regeneration of BTI injury. The growth factors immobilized (via heparin-intermediated interactions) on the membrane were continuously released for up to ∼80% of the initial loading amount after 5 weeks without a significant initial burst. From the in vivo animal study using a rat patellar tendon avulsion model, it was observed that the PDGF-BB/BMP-2-immobilized membrane accelerates the regeneration of the BTI injury, probably because of the continuous release of both growth factors (biological stimuli) and their complementary effect to create a multiphasic structure (bone, fibrocartilage, and tendon) like a native structure, as well as the role of the asymmetrically porous membrane as a physical barrier (nanopore side; prevention of fibrous tissue invasion into the defect site) and scaffold (micropore side; guidance for tissue regeneration). © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
