Abstract
Introduction Macrophages are crucial immune cells that play a role in tissue repair and can exhibit pro- or anti-inflammatory behaviour based on environmental stimulation. Their functional phenotype can be affected by platelet-derived products as determined by those products' composition. When the inflammatory response caused by implantation is excessive, it can lead to rejection of the implant. Therefore, a thorough evaluation of implant haemocompatibility is necessary to minimise undesirable consequences. Material and Methods In an in vitro study, monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) were obtained from the whole blood of sheep after a silicon-doped diamond-like carbon-coated implant insertion. These MDMs were then exposed to autologous platelet-derived products for functional marker analysis. Results Platelet-poor plasma (PPP) and pure platelet-rich plasma (P-PRP) stimulation increased arginase-1 activity, while leukocyte-rich PRP stimulation produced a mixed response involving higher O2- (6.49 ± 2.43 nM vs non-stimulated 3.51 ± 1.23 nM, P-value < 0.05) and NO (3.28 ± 1.38 μM vs non-stimulated 2.55 ± 0.32μM, P-value < 0.05) generation. Conclusion Using PPP and P-PRP stimulation in post-implantation procedures may contribute to the polarisation of macrophages towards the M2-like pro-resolving phenotype, thereby accelerating wound healing. This would also prevent implant degradation due to an excessive inflammatory process.

Abstract
Diamond-like carbon (DLC) layers are known for their high corrosion and wear resistance, low friction, and high biocompatibility. However, it is often necessary to dope DLC layers with additional chemical elements to strengthen their adhesion to the substrate. Ti-DLC layers (doped with 0.4, 2.1, 3.7, 6.6, and 12.8 at.% of Ti) were prepared by dual pulsed laser deposition, and pure DLC, glass, and polystyrene (PS) were used as controls. In vitro cell-material interactions were investigated with an emphasis on cell adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation. We observed slightly increasing roughness and contact angle and decreasing surface free energy on Ti-DLC layers with increasing Ti content. Three-week biological experiments were performed using adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (bmMSCs) in vitro. The cell proliferation activity was similar or slightly higher on the Ti-doped materials than on glass and PS. Osteogenic cell differentiation on all materials was proved by collagen and osteocalcin production, ALP activity, and Ca deposition. The bmMSCs exhibited greater initial proliferation potential and an earlier onset of osteogenic differentiation than the ADSCs. The ADSCs showed a slightly higher formation of focal adhesions, higher metabolic activity, and Ca deposition with increasing Ti content.

Abstract
The stability of implant-abutment joint is fundamental for the long-term success of implant rehabilitation. The screw loosening, fracture, and head deformation are among the most common mechanical complications. Several surface treatments of titanium screws have been proposed to improve their resistance and stability. Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating of the materials is widely used to increase their wear resistance and durability. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of carbon fiber coating on the screw head on screw removal torque and screw head stripping. One hundred titanium implant screws were used, 50 without coating (Group 1) and 50 with DLC coating of the screw head (Group 2). Each screw was tightened with a torque of 25 Ncm and unscrewed 10 times. The removal torque was measured with a digital cap torque tester for each loosening. Optical 3d measurement of the screw head surface was performed by a fully automatic machine before and after multiple tightening to investigate surface modifications. The reverse torque values decreased with repeated tightening and loosening cycles in both groups without significant differences (P > .05). Optical measurements of surface dimensions revealed average changes of 0.0357 mm in Group 1 and 0.02312 mm in Group 2, which resulted to be statistically significant (P < .001). The DLC coating of the retention screw head can prevent its distortion and wear, especially after multiple tightening.

Abstract
Introduction Disorganisation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is strongly connected to tumor progression. Even small-scale changes can significantly influence the adhesion and proliferation of cancer cells. Therefore, the use of biocompatible nanomaterials capable of supporting and partially replenishing degraded ECM might be essential to recover the niche after tumor resection. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of graphene, graphene oxide, fullerene, and diamond nanofilms on breast cancer and glioblastoma grade IV cell lines. Methods Nanomaterials were characterized using SEM and TEM techniques; zeta potential analysis was also performed. Nanofilms of graphene, fullerene, and diamond nanoparticles were also characterized using AFM. The toxicity was tested on breast cancer MDA.MB.231 and glioblastoma grade IV U-87 MG cell lines, using LDH assay and by counting stained dead cells in bioprinted 3D models. The following parameters were analyzed: proliferation, adhesion to the nanofilm, and adhesion to particular ECM components covered with diamond nanoparticles. Results and Discussion Our studies demonstrated that nanofilms of graphene and diamond nanoparticles are characterized by cell-specific toxicity. Those nanomaterials were non-toxic to MDA.MB.231 cells. After applying bioprinted 3D models, diamond nanoparticles were not toxic for both cell lines. Nanofilms made of diamond nanoparticles and graphene inhibit the proliferation of MDA.MB.231 cells after 48 and 72 hours. Increased adhesion on nanofilm made of diamond nanoparticles was only observed for MDA.MB.231 cells after 30 and 60 minutes from seeding the cells. However, analysis of adhesion to certain ECM components coated with diamond nanoparticles revealed enhanced adhesion to tenascin and vitronectin for both tested cell lines. Conclusion Our studies show that nanofilm made of diamond nanoparticles is a non-toxic and pro-adhesive nanomaterial that might stabilize and partially replenish the niche after breast tumor resection as it enhances the adhesion of breast cancer cells and inhibits their proliferation.

Abstract
The contact between the blood and the surface of medical materials causes a series of rejection reactions. In this process, the plasma protein is adsorbed to the surface of materials within seconds and binds to glycoprotein receptors on platelets, causing platelet activation, coagulation cascade, and complement activation to form thrombus, which greatly limits the application of medical materials. In our work, the surface of poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) hollow fiber membranes (PMP HFMs) was coated with a diamond-like carbon (DLC) film by the ion plating method. The blood compatibility of the DLC coating was evaluated by protein adsorption, platelet adhesion, clotting time, red blood cell (RBCs) hemolysis, dynamic coagulation, and extracorporeal blood circulation tests. Compared with the unmodified PMP membrane, the DLC film could effectively reduce protein adsorption and platelet adhesion and prolong the coagulation time. The DLC coating showed BSA adsorption of as low as 0.53 μg/cm2 as well as a long activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) value of 71.84 s. Furthermore, the PMP membrane modified with the DLC coating was used for extracorporeal blood circulation without thrombosis forming within 28 days. The DLC coating is one of the most promising medical coatings as an artificial lung membrane in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) equipment.

Abstract
Seventy percent of global electricity is generated by steam-cycle power plants. A hydrophobic condenser surface within these plants could boost overall cycle efficiency by 2%. In 2022, this enhancement equates to an additional electrical power generation of 1000 TWh annually, or 83% of the global solar electricity production. Furthermore, this efficiency increase reduces CO2 emissions by 460 million tons /year with a decreased use of 2 trillion gallons of cooling water per year. However, the main challenge with hydrophobic surfaces is their poor durability. Here, we show that solid microscale-thick fluorinated diamond-like carbon (F-DLC) possesses mechanical and thermal properties that ensure durability in moist, abrasive, and thermally harsh conditions. The F-DLC coating achieves this without relying on atmospheric interactions, infused lubricants, self-healing strategies, or sacrificial surface designs. Through tailored substrate adhesion and multilayer deposition, we develop a pinhole-free F-DLC coating with low surface energy and comparable Young's modulus to metals. In a three-year steam condensation experiment, the F-DLC coating maintains hydrophobicity, resulting in sustained and improved dropwise condensation on multiple metallic substrates. Our findings provide a promising solution to hydrophobic material fragility and can enhance the sustainability of renewable and non-renewable energy sources.

Abstract
This research aims to fabricate plane-type substrates for evaluating the axon behaviors of neuronal cells in vitro toward the development of brain-on-chip models by applying the functions of diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin film deposition, which helped to eliminate the costly and time-consuming lithography process by utilizing a shadow mask. The DLC thin films were partially deposited on stretched polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrates covered with a metal mask by the plasma chemical vaper deposition method, and using the substrates culture teats with human neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y) were performed. Three patterns of interconnection structures of axons were created on the substrates with disordered and regular linear wrinkle structures with several μm size formed by the depositions. The patterns were characterized by the structure that the aggregations of axons formed on the linear DLC thin film deposited areas were separately placed in regular intervals and connected each other by plenty of axons, which were individually taut in a straight line at about 100 to over 200 μm in length. The substrates expected of uses for evaluation of axon behaviors are available without fabricating guiding grooves by conventional soft lithographic methods requiring multiple stages and their treating times.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to obtain comprehensive data regarding the hemocompatibility of diamond-like carbon (DLC)-coated expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). DLC increased the hydrophilicity and smoothened the surface and fibrillar structure, respectively, of the ePTFE. DLC-coated ePTFE had more albumin and fibrinogen adsorption and less platelet adhesion than uncoated ePTFE. There were scarce red cell attachments in in vitro human and in vivo animal (rat and swine) whole blood contact tests in both DLC-coated and uncoated ePTFE. DLC-coated ePTFE had a similar but marginally thicker band movement than uncoated-ePTFE with SDS-PAGE after human whole blood contact test. In addition, survival studies of aortic graft replacement in rats (1.5 mm graft) and arteriovenous shunt in goats (4 mm graft) were performed to compare the patency and clot formation between DLC-coated and uncoated ePTFE grafts. Comparable patency was observed in both animal models. However, clots were observed in the luminal surface of the patent 1.5 mm DLC-coated ePTFE grafts, but not in that of uncoated ePTFE grafts. In conclusions, hemocompatibility of DLC-coated ePTFE was high and comparable to that of uncoated ePTFE. However, it failed to improve the hemocompatibility of 1.5 mm ePTFE graft probably because increased fibrinogen adsorption canceled the other beneficial effects of DLC.

Abstract
Due to the poor tribological properties of titanium (Ti) and its alloy Ti6Al4V (commonly used for ventricular assist devices manufacturing), diamond-like carbon (DLC) films with excellent anti-wear properties are pursued to improve the wear resistance of Ti and its alloys. Considering the effect of temperature on magnets inside pump impellers and workpiece deformation, DLC films are preferred to be prepared under low temperature. In this study, DLC films were prepared on Ti6Al4V alloys by periodic and continuous processes, and the corresponding maximum deposition temperature was 85 and 154°C, respectively. The periodic DLC films exhibited the feature of columnar structure, and the surface hillocks were less uniform than that of continuous DLC films. The periodic DLC films possessed more sp3 -bonded structures, and the accessorial sp3 -bonding mainly existed in the form of CH. Compared to continuous DLC films, the periodic DLC films had lower residual stress and better adhesion with Ti6Al4V substrates. Both DLC films could effectively reduce the friction coefficient and wear rate of Ti6Al4V alloys both in air and fetal bovine serum (FBS), and the periodic DLC films exhibited superior anti-wear properties to that of continuous DLC films in FBS. Haemocompatibility evaluation revealed that both DLC films presented similar levels of more human platelet adhesion and activation as compared with that of bare Ti6Al4V. However, both DLC films significantly prolonged plasma clotting time in comparison to bare Ti6Al4V. This study demonstrates the potential of low-temperature DLC films as wear-resistant surface modification for VADs.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the surface modification of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy substrate via a-C:H:SiOx coating deposition. Research results concern the a-C:H:SiOx coating structure, investigated using transmission electron microscopy and in vitro endothelization to study the coating. Based on the analysis of the atomic radial distribution function, a model is proposed for the atomic short-range order structure of the a-C:H:SiOx coating, and chemical bonds (C–O, C–C, Si–C, Si–O, and Si–Si) are identified. It is shown that the a-C:H:SiOx coating does not possess prolonged cytotoxicity in relation to EA.hy926 endothelial cells. In vitro investigations showed that the adhesion, cell number, and nitric oxide production by EA.hy926 endothelial cells on the a-C:H:SiOx-coated Ti-6Al-4V substrate are significantly lower than those on the uncoated surface. The findings suggest that the a-C:H:SiOx coating can reduce the risk of endothelial cell hyperproliferation on implants and medical devices, including mechanical prosthetic heart valves, endovascular stents, and mechanical circulatory support devices.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CQDs) have been widely investigated as prime candidates for developing a tumor theranostic platform due to their tunable fluorescence emission and excitation, high water solubility, good photostability, and biocompatibility. Among the CQDs, natural CQDs are an emerging class of nanomaterials in the carbon family. Herein, highly fluorescent carbon quantum dots (CQDs) were synthesized from orange juice using a one-step hydrothermal method and characterized by different techniques. After that, CQD/Ag heterostructures were synthesized by the reduction of silver salt, in particular silver nitrate (AgNO3) solution using sodium borohydride (NaBH4) in different ratios. The photostability and characterization of CQD/Ag heterostructures were investigated. At last, a comparative cellular toxicity measurement was done to select the superior CQD/Ag heterostructure in the human colorectal carcinoma (HCT 116) cell line along with the imaging property. The detailed cell death signaling was also observed in the HCT 116 cell line via the ROS-dependent mitochondrial-mediated pathway, where Akt (RAC-α serine/threonine-protein kinase) played a important role.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys have attracted attention as biodegradable materials for biomedical applications owing to their mechanical properties being comparable to that of bone. Mg is a vital trace element in many enzymes and thus forms one of the essential factors for human metabolism. However, before being used in biomedical applications, the early stage or fast degradation of Mg and its alloys in the physiological environment should be controlled. The degradation of Mg alloys is a critical criterion that can be controlled by a surface modification which is an effective process for conserving their desired properties. Different coating methods have been employed to modify Mg surfaces to provide good corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. This review aims to provide information on different coatings and discuss their physical and biological properties. Finally, the current withstanding challenges have been highlighted and discussed, followed by shedding some light on future perspectives.

Abstract
In recent decades, microelectrodes have been widely used in neuroscience to understand the mechanisms behind brain functions, as well as the relationship between neural activity and behavior, perception and cognition. However, the recording of neuronal activity over a long period of time is limited for various reasons. In this review, we briefly consider the types of penetrating chronic microelectrodes, as well as the conductive and insulating materials for microelectrode manufacturing. Additionally, we consider the effects of penetrating microelectrode implantation on brain tissue. In conclusion, we review recent advances in the field of in vivo microelectrodes.

Abstract
Repairment and replacement of organs and tissues are part of the history of struggle against human diseases, in addition to the research and development (R&D) of drugs. Acquisition and processing of specific substances and physiological signals are very important to understand the effects of pathology and treatment. These depend on the available biomedical materials. The family of diamond-like carbon coatings (DLCs) has been extensively applied in many industrial fields. DLCs have also been demonstrated to be biocompatible, both in vivo and in vitro. In many cases, the performance of biomedical devices can be effectively enhanced by coating them with DLCs, such as vascular stents, prosthetic heart valves and surgical instruments. However, the feasibility of the application of DLC in biomedicine remains under discussion. This review introduces the current state of research and application of DLCs in biomedical devices, their potential application in biosensors and urgent problems to be solved. It will be useful to build a bridge between DLC R&D workers and biomedical workers in order to develop high-performance DLC films/coatings, promote their practical use and develop their potential applications in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Metallic materials such as stainless steel (SS), titanium (Ti), magnesium (Mg) alloys, and cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloys are widely used as biomaterials for implant applications. Metallic implants sometimes fail in surgeries due to inadequate biocompatibility, faster degradation rate (Mg-based alloys), inflammatory response, infections, inertness (SS, Ti, and Co-Cr alloys), lower corrosion resistance, elastic modulus mismatch, excessive wear, and shielding stress. Therefore, to address this problem, it is necessary to develop a method to improve the biofunctionalization of metallic implant surfaces by changing the materials’ surface and morphology without altering the mechanical properties of metallic implants. Among various methods, surface modification on metallic surfaces by applying coatings is an effective way to improve implant material performance. In this review, we discuss the recent developments in ceramics, polymers, and metallic materials used for implant applications. Their biocompatibility is also discussed. The recent trends in coatings for biomedical implants, applications, and their future directions were also discussed in detail.

Abstract
The superhydrophobic surfaces inspired by the lotus have excellent performances and are known for their low contact angle hysteresis and smooth surfaces. However, there are still some problems, such as the unstable structure, poor durability, high product cost and so on that need to be improved. Those issues can be avoided via liquid-infused surfaces(LIS), which are inspired by Nepenthes and consist of a mico-nano structured substrate and a smooth continuous atomic-grade lubricant. Compared with superhydrophobic surfaces, LIS not only achieves the same hydrophobic properties but also has smaller contact angle hysteresis, smoother surface, more stable structure and lower preparation cost. Although the existence of a lubricant layer improves the performance of the material, it also leaves a hidden danger, which is easy to lose and leads to the deterioration of the durability of the material. Therefore, the lubricant-free slipper materials have attracted more and more attention in recent years due to their low volatility, good durability and excellent lubrication performance. In this review, the types of LIS lubricants and their physicochemical properties were summarized at the beginning and then the applications of LIS in various fields were introduced. At the end of this paper, some solid lubricants and their applications were described, and the future development prospects of LIS lubricants also were expected.

Abstract
Integrative production of new nanocomposites has been used to enhance favorable features of biomaterials for unlocking ultimate potential of different molecules. In the present study, advantageous properties of diamond like carbons (DLC) and germanium (Ge) like greater biocompatibility and antibacterial attributes were aimed to combined into a thin film. For this purpose, 400 nm DLC-Ge nanocomposite was coated on the borosilicate glasses via the magnetron sputtering and surface characteristics was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and The Raman spectrum. Biocompatibility analysis were performed by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl) (MTT) cell viability assay and Hoechst 33258 fluorescent staining genotoxicity assessments on the human fibroblast cell line (HDFa). Finally, antibacterial properties of DLC-Ge nanocomposite coatings were investigated by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853) and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) bacterial attachment analysis. As a result of magnetron sputtering coating, nearly 400 nm thick DLC-Ge nanocomposite film showed a smooth, a non-porous, and a dense characteristic. Cell viability analysis showed that Ge-DLC coatings permits %95 cell surface growth of fibroblast cells. Also, there were no significant difference in aspect of nuclear abnormalities compared to the (-) control which showed nonmutagenic features of the thin film. Finally, antibacterial attachment analysis put forth that Ge-DLC coatings inhibits bacterial adhesion as %40 and %25 rates for P. aeruginosa and S. aureus bacterial strains, respectively. From these results, DLC-Ge nanocomposites could be proposed as a potential new biomaterial for various biomedical applications.

Abstract
The wear of a novel temporomandibular joint (TMJ) prosthesis was evaluated in an animal model. The prosthesis consisted of an additively manufactured titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) mandibular condyle and glenoid fossa created through selective laser melting, with a machined vitamin E‐enriched ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) surface attached to the fossa. Thirteen TMJ prosthesis were implanted in sheep, six of which had condylar heads coated with HadSat® diamond‐like carbon (H‐DLC). Euthanasia took place after 288 days, equaling 22 years of human mastication. Linear and volumetric wear analysis of the fossa was performed by optical scanning. The condylar head surfaces were assessed by scanning electron and confocal laser microscopy. The average linear UHMWPE wear, when combined with the coated condyle, was 0.67 ± 0.28 mm (range: 0.34–1.15 mm), not significantly differing (p = .3765, t‐test) from the non‐coated combination average (0.88 ± 0.41 mm; range: 0.28–1.48 mm). The respective mean volumetric wear volumes were 25.29 ± 11.43 mm3 and 45.85 ± 22.01 mm3, not significantly differing (p = .1448, t‐test). Analysis of the coated condylar surface produced a mean Ra of 0.12 ± 0.04 μm and Sa of 0.69 ± 0.07 μm. The non‐coated condylar surface measured a mean Ra of 0.28 ± 0.17 μm and Sa of 2.40 ± 2.08 μm. Both Sa (p = .0083, Mann–Whitney U test) and Ra (p = .0182, Mann–Whitney U test), differed significantly. The prosthesis exhibits acceptable wear resistance and addition of the H‐DLC‐coating significantly improved long‐term condylar surface smoothness.

Abstract
Bio-inspired Topographically Mediated Surfaces (TMSs) based on high aspect ratio nanostructures have recently been attracting significant attention due to their pronounced antimicrobial properties by mechanically disrupting cellular processes. However, scalability of such surfaces is often greatly limited, as most of them rely on micro/nanoscale fabrication techniques. In this report, a cost-effective, scalable, and versatile approach of utilizing diamond nanotechnology for producing TMSs, and using them for limiting the spread of emerging infectious diseases, is introduced. Specifically, diamond-based nanostructured coatings are synthesized in a single-step fabrication process with a densely packed, needle- or spike-like morphology. The antimicrobial proprieties of the diamond nanospike surface are qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed and compared to other surfaces including copper, silicon, and even other diamond surfaces without the nanostructuring. This surface is found to have superior biocidal activity, which is confirmed via scanning electron microscopy images showing definite and widespread destruction of E. coli cells on the diamond nanospike surface. Consistent antimicrobial behavior is also observed on a sample prepared seven years prior to testing date. ![]()

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to systematically review studies investigating antibacterial implant abutment surfaces or coatings, which may suppress bacterial growth to prevent plaque-induced peri-implant inflammatory disease. Data were collected after identification of case, assay/laboratory procedure, predicate/reference standard and outcome (CAPO). Seven hundred and twenty (720) records were identified through data base searching. After screening nine publications fulfilled inclusion criteria and were included. The following surfaces/coatings showed antibacterial properties: Electrochemical surface modification of titanium by the anodic spark deposition technique; doxycycline coating by cathodic polarization; silver coating by DC plasma sputter; titanium nitride; zirconium nitride and microwave assistant nano silver coating. Since the current state of the literature is rather descriptive, a meta-analysis was not performed. While several abutment coatings showed to have antibacterial capacity, some of them also influenced the behavior of investigated human cells. None of the studies investigated the long-term effect of surface modifications. Since surface changes are the main contributing factor in the development of antibacterial effects, the biodegradation behavior must be characterized to understand its durability. To date there is no effective structure, material or strategy to avoid peri-implant inflammation used as clinical routine. Furthermore, clinical studies are scarce.

Abstract
The versatility of the arrangement of C atoms with the formation of different allotropes and phases has led to the discovery of several new structures with unique properties. Carbon nanomaterials are currently very attractive nanomaterials due to their unique physical, chemical, and biological properties. One of these is the development of superconductivity, for example, in graphite intercalated superconductors, single-walled carbon nanotubes, B-doped diamond, etc. Not only various forms of carbon materials but also carbon-related materials have aroused extraordinary theoretical and experimental interest. Hybrid carbon materials are good candidates for high current densities at low applied electric fields due to their negative electron affinity. The right combination of two different nanostructures, CNF or carbon nanotubes and nanoparticles, has led to some very interesting sensors with applications in electrochemical biosensors, biomolecules, and pharmaceutical compounds. Carbon materials have a number of unique properties. In order to increase their potential application and applicability in different industries and under different conditions, they are often combined with other types of material (most often polymers or metals). The resulting composite materials have significantly improved properties.

Abstract
Successful osseointegration, i.e. the fully functional connection of patient's bone and artificial implant depends on the response of the cells to the direct contact with the surface of the implant. The surface properties of the implant which trigger cell responses leading to its integration into the surrounding bone can be tailored by surface modifications or coating with thin layers. One potential material for such applications is ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD). It combines the exceptional mechanical properties of diamond with good biocompatibility and possibility of coating as thin uniform films on different substrates of biological interest. In the current work we firstly deposited UNCD films on titanium-coated substrates and applied oxygen or ammonia plasma to modify their surface properties. The as-grown and modified UNCD exhibited relatively smooth surfaces with topography dominated by rounded features. The modifications induced oxygen- or amino-terminated surfaces with increased hydrophilicity. In addition, the UNCD coatings exhibited very low coefficient of friction when diamond was used as a counterpart. As-grown and modified UNCD samples were applied to study the responses of human osteoblast MG63 cells triggered by surfaces with various terminations assessed by proteomic analysis. The results revealed that the coating of Ti with UNCD as well as the plasma modifications resulting in O- or NH2-terminated UNCD induced upregulation of proteins specific for cytoskeleton, cell membrane, and extracellular matrix (ECM) involved in the cell-ECM-surface interactions. Proteins from each of these groups, namely, vimentin, cadherin and fibronectin were further studied immunocytochemically and the results confirmed their increased abundance leading to improved cell-to-surface adhesion and cell-to-cell interactions. These findings demonstrate the potential of implant coating with UNCD and its surface modifications for better osseointegration and bone formation.

Abstract
With the recent significant advances in micro- and nanoscale fabrication techniques, deposition of diamond-like carbon films on stainless steel substrates has been experimentally achieved. However, the underlying mechanism for the formation of film microstructures has remained elusive. In this study, the growth processes of diamond-like carbon films on AISI 316L substrate are studied via the molecular dynamics method. Effects of substrate bias voltage on the structure properties and sp3 hybridization ratio are investigated. A diamond-like carbon film with a compact structure and smooth surface is obtained at 120 V bias voltage. Looser structures with high surface roughness are observed in films deposited under bias voltages of 0 V or 300 V. In addition, sp3 fraction increases with increasing substrate bias voltage from 0 V to 120 V, while an opposite trend is obtained when the bias voltage is further increased from 120 V to 300 V. The highest magnitude of sp3 fraction was about 48.5% at 120 V bias voltage. The dependence of sp3 fraction in carbon films on the substrate bias voltage achieves a high consistency within the experiment results. The mechanism for the dependence of diamond-like carbon structures on the substrate bias voltage is discussed as well.

Abstract
Hybrid diamond-like carbon (DLC) with incorporated titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticle coatings have low friction coefficient, high wear resistance, high hardness, biocompatibility, and high chemical stability. They could be employed to modify biomedical alloys surfaces for numerous applications in biomedical engineering. Here we investigate for the first time the in vivo inflammatory process of DLC coatings with incorporated TiO2 nanoparticles. TiO2-DLC films were grown on AISI 316 stainless-steel substrates using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The coated substrates were implanted in CF1 mice peritoneum. The in vivo cytotoxicity and biocompatibility of the samples were analyzed from macrophage lavage. Analysis in the first weeks after implantation could be helpful to evaluate the acute cytotoxicity generated after a possible inflammatory process. The in vivo results showed no inflammatory process. A significant increase in nitric oxide production on the uncoated substrates was confirmed through cytometry, and the coated substrates demonstrated biocompatibility. The presence of TiO2 nanoparticles enhanced the wound healing activity, due to their astringent and antimicrobial properties. DLC and TiO2-DLC coatings were considered biocompatible, and the presence of TiO2 nanoparticles reduced the inflammatory reactions, increasing DLC biocompatibility.

Abstract
Due to their outstanding properties, carbon-based structures have received much attention from the scientific community. Their applications are diverse and include use in coatings on self-lubricating systems for anti-wear situations, thin films deposited on prosthetic elements, catalysis structures, or water remediation devices. From these applications, the ones that require the most careful testing and improvement are biomedical applications. The biocompatibility and antibacterial issues of medical devices remain a concern, as several prostheses still fail after several years of implantation and biofilm formation remains a real risk to the success of a device. Sputtered deposition prevents the introduction of hazardous chemical elements during the preparation of coatings, and this technique is environmentally friendly. In addition, the mechanical properties of C-based coatings are remarkable. In this paper, the latest advances in sputtering methods and biocompatibility and antibacterial action for diamond-based carbon (DLC)-based coatings are reviewed and the greater outlook is then discussed.

Abstract
This review article compares and contrasts sample preparation techniques coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and describes applications developed in biomedical, forensics, and environmental/industrial hygiene in the last two decades. The proper sample preparation technique can offer valued data for a targeted application when coupled to HPLC and a suitable detector. Improvements in sample preparation techniques in the last two decades have resulted in efficient extraction, cleanup, and preconcentration in a single step, thus providing a pathway to tackle complex matrix applications. Applications such as biological therapeutics, proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics, environmental/industrial hygiene, forensics, glycan cleanup, etc., have been significantly enhanced due to improved sample preparation techniques. This review looks at the early sample preparation techniques. Further, it describes eight sample preparation technique coupled to HPLC that has gained prominence in the last two decades. They are (1) solid-phase extraction (SPE), (2) liquid-liquid extraction (LLE), (3) gel permeation chromatography (GPC), (4) Quick Easy Cheap Effective Rugged, Safe (QuEChERS), (5) solid-phase microextraction (SPME), (6) ultrasonic-assisted solvent extraction (UASE), and (7) microwave-assisted solvent extraction (MWASE). SPE, LLE, GPC, QuEChERS, and SPME can be used offline and online with HPLC. UASE and MWASE can be used offline with HPLC but have also been combined with the online automated techniques of SPE, LLE, GPC, or QuEChERS for targeted analysis. Three application areas of biomedical, forensics, and environmental/industrial hygiene are reviewed for the eight sample preparation techniques. Three hundred and twenty references on the eight sample preparation techniques published over the last two decades (2001-2021) are provided. Other older references were included to illustrate the historical development of sample preparation techniques.

Abstract
The ability of an orthopedic implant to integrate successfully with the surrounding bone tissue is imperative for optimal patient outcomes. Here, the recent advances and future prospects for diamond-based coatings of conventional osteo-implant materials (primarily titanium) are explored. The ability of these diamond coatings to enhance integration into existing bone, improved implant mechanical properties, facilitate surface chemical functionalization, and provide anti-microbial properties are discussed in context of orthopedic implants. These diamond-based materials may have the additional benefit of providing an osteo-inductive effect, enabling better integration into existing bone via stem cell recruitment and bone regeneration. Current and timely research is highlighted to support the discussion and suggestions in further improving implant integration via an osseoinductive effect from the diamond composite materials.

Abstract
Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings have the potential to reduce implant wear and thus to contribute to avoiding premature failure and increase service life of total knee replacements (TKAs). This two-part study addresses the development of such coatings for ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) tibial inlays as well as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCr) and titanium (Ti64) alloy femoral components. While a detailed characterization of the tribological behavior is the subject of part II, part I focusses on the deposition of pure (a-C:H) and tungsten-doped hydrogen-containing amorphous carbon coatings (a-C:H:W) and the detailed characterization of their chemical, cytological, mechanical and adhesion behavior. The coatings are fabricated by physical vapor deposition (PVD) and display typical DLC morphology and composition, as verified by focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Their roughness is higher than that of the plain substrates. Initial screening with contact angle and surface tension as well as in vitro testing by indirect and direct application indicate favorable cytocompatibility. The DLC coatings feature excellent mechanical properties with a substantial enhancement of indentation hardness and elastic modulus ratios. The adhesion of the coatings as determined in modified scratch tests can be considered as sufficient for the use in TKAs.

Abstract
Diamond-like carbon coatings may decrease implant wear, therefore, they are helping to reduce aseptic loosening and increase service life of total knee arthroplasties (TKAs). This two-part study addresses the development of such coatings for ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) tibial inlays as well as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCr) and titanium (Ti64) alloy femoral components. While the deposition of a pure (a-C:H) and tungsten-doped hydrogen-containing amorphous carbon coating (a-C:H:W) as well as the detailed characterization of mechanical and adhesion properties were the subject of Part I, the tribological behavior is studied in Part II. Pin-on-disk tests are performed under artificial synovial fluid lubrication. Numerical elastohydrodynamic lubrication modeling is used to show the representability of contact conditions for TKAs and to assess the influence of coatings on lubrication conditions. The wear behavior is characterized by means of light and laser scanning microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and particle analyses. Although the coating leads to an increase in friction due to the considerably higher roughness, especially the UHMWPE wear is significantly reduced up to a factor of 49% (CoCr) and 77% (Ti64). Thereby, the coating shows continuous wear and no sudden failure or spallation of larger wear particles. This demonstrated the great potential of amorphous carbon coatings for knee replacements.

Abstract
316L stainless steel (SS) implants suffer from tribological and biocompatibility problems which limit their service lifetime. In order to improve the surface properties of 316L SS for orthopedic implant applications, hard chromium oxide coatings were applied on 316L SS substrates using a reactive magnetron sputtering technique. The morphological, structural, and phase compositional analyses were conducted on the deposited coatings by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The Rockwell-C indentation tests were performed on the coated substrates to qualitatively evaluate the adhesion of coatings on the steel substrates. The surface characteristics of coatings were measured by using an optical profilometer. The mechanical properties of coatings were reported by measuring the Hardness and Young's modulus. The corrosion resistance of coated and uncoated SS substrates was compared using potentiodynamic polarization tests. An inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) was employed to analyze the biocompatibility of the samples by measuring the amount of toxic Cr ions released after the immersion test. The results show that the coatings are adherent and composed of a single Cr2O3 phase with a hardness of 25 to 29 GPa. The corrosion resistance of the SS has been improved by applying a chromium oxide coating. The coated SS samples have also demonstrated better wear resistance and lower friction coefficient compared to bare SS samples under a reciprocating sliding condition in saline solution. The biocompatibility of the SS has been enhanced by the Cr2O3 coating as much less Cr ions were released after immersion tests. These results indicate that the hard Cr2O3 coatings can be considered as a candidate for extending the lifetime of SS implants.

Abstract
Continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have gained tremendous acceptance for the treatment of end-stage heart failure patients. Among different versions, axial flow and centrifugal flow LVADs have shown remarkable potential for clinical implants. It is also very crucial to know which device serves its purpose better to treat heart failure patients. A thorough comparison of axial and centrifugal LVADs, which may guide doctors in deciding before the implant, still lacks in the literature. In this work, an assessment of axial and centrifugal LVADs has been made to suggest a better device by comparing their engineering, clinical, and technological development of design aspects. Hydrodynamic and hemodynamic aspects for both types of pumps are discussed along with their biocompatibility, bearing types, and sizes. It has been observed numerically that centrifugal LVADs perform better over axial LVADs in every engineering aspect like higher hydraulic efficiency, better characteristics curve, lesser power intake, and also lesser blood damage. However, the clinical outcomes suggest that centrifugal LVADs experience higher events of infections, renal, and respiratory dysfunction. In contrast, axial LVADs encountered higher bleeding and cardiac arrhythmia. Moreover, recent technological developments suggested that magnetic type bearings along with biocompatible coating improve the life of LVADs.

Abstract
The paper focuses on the SiOx-doped amorphous hydrocarbon (a-C:H:SiOx) coating on the titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) alloy substrate obtained by plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition (PACVD) in a mixture of argon gas and polyphenylmethylsiloxane vapor using a bipolar substrate bias. It is shown that the a-C:H:SiOx coating deposition results in the formation of a negative surface potential important for application of this coating for medical implants. The a-C:H:SiOx coatings improve the corrosion resistance of Ti alloy to 0.5 M NaCl solution and phosphate-buffered saline. In particular, the corrosion current density of the a-C:H:SiOx-coated sample in a 0.5 M NaCl solution at 22 °C decreases from 1∙10-8 to 1.7∙10-10 A/cm2, that reduces the corrosion rate from 9∙10-5 to 15∙10-7 mm/year. The a-C:H:SiOx coating facilitates the surface endothelization of an implant located in the thoracic aorta of a mini pig, and reduces the risk of thrombosis and implant failure. This effect can be explained by the ability of the a-C:H:SiOx coating ability to reduce in vitro a 24-hour secretion of pro-inflammatory interleukins (IL-6, IL-12(p70), IL-15, and IL-17) and cytokines (IFN-g and TNF-a) by blood mononuclear cells (MNCs) and elevates the concentration of anti-inflammatory interleukin IL-1Ra. In vitro analysis shows no cytotoxicity of the a-C:H:SiOx coating for the human blood MNCs, suggesting a promising PACVD on Ti alloys for cardiovascular implants, including pumps for mechanical heart support systems.

Abstract
A wide range of biomedical devices are being used to treat cardiovascular diseases, and thus they routinely come into contact with blood. Insufficient hemocompatibility has been found to impair the functionality and safety of these devices through the activation of blood coagulation and the immune system. Numerous attempts have been made to develop surface modification approaches of the cardiovascular devices to improve their hemocompatibility. However, there are still no ideal "blood-friendly" coating materials, which possess the desired hemocompatibility, tissue compatibility, and mechanical properties. As a novel multifunctional material, graphene has been proposed for a wide range of biomedical applications. The chemical inertness, atomic smoothness, and high durability make graphene an ideal candidate as a surface coating material for implantable devices. Here, we evaluated the hemocompatibility of a graphene film prepared on quartz glasses (Gra-glasses) from a direct chemical vapor deposition process. We found that the graphene coating, which is free of transfer-mediating polymer contamination, significantly suppressed platelet adhesion and activation, prolonged coagulation time, and reduced ex vivo thrombosis formation. We attribute the excellent antithrombogenic properties of the Gra-glasses to the low surface roughness, low surface energy (especially the low polar component of the surface energy), and the negative surface charge of the graphene film. Given these excellent hemocompatible properties, along with its chemical inertness, high durability, and molecular impermeability, a graphene film holds great promise as an antithrombogenic coating for next-generation cardiovascular devices.

Abstract
Since the advent of diamond-based adsorbents in the late 1960s, the interest in their use for solid-phase extraction (SPE) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has steadily increased. This is primarily due to their unique properties, such as extreme chemical and thermal stability, high mechanical strength and biocompatibility, and complex mixed-mode retention mechanisms. Currently, the most commonly used synthetic diamonds in SPE and HPLC are detonation nanodiamonds (DND), high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) diamonds, and chemical vapour deposition (CVD) diamonds. These diamonds have been either used as individual particles (in both modified and unmodified forms), or for surface modification, or entrapped within composites and core-shell particles to develop new diamond-based adsorbents. These diamond-based adsorbents have been used for a variety of applications, including streamlined proteome analysis; extraction of anions, cations, actinides, uranium, lanthanides, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, and post-transition metals; and development of reversed-phase, normal phase, hydrophilic interaction, ion chromatography, and mixed-mode liquid chromatography columns, to name but a few. These varied applications of different types of diamonds are typically governed by their specific properties. This review discusses the various surface and bulk properties of DND, HPHT diamonds, and CVD diamonds that facilitate or limit their use in different SPE and HPLC based applications.

Abstract
An electrospark technology has been developed for obtaining a colloidal solution containing nanosized amorphous carbon. The advantages of the technology are its low cost and high performance. The colloidal solution of nanosized carbon is highly stable. The coatings on its basis are nanostructured. They are characterized by high adhesion and hydrophobicity. It was found that the propagation of microorganisms on nanosized carbon coatings is significantly hindered. At the same time, eukaryotic animal cells grow and develop on nanosized carbon coatings, as well as on the nitinol medical alloy. The use of a colloidal solution as available, cheap and non-toxic nanomaterial for the creation of antibacterial coatings to prevent biofilm formation seems to be very promising for modern medicine, pharmaceutical and food industries.

Abstract
In this study the application of porous carbon microparticles for the transport of a sparingly soluble material into cells is demonstrated. Carbon offers an intrinsically sustainable platform material that can meet the multiple and complex requirements imposed by applications in biology and medicine. Porous carbon microparticles are attractive as they are easy to handle and manipulate and combine the chemical versatility and biocompatibility of carbon with a high surface area due to their highly porous structure. The uptake of fluorescently labeled microparticles by cancer (HeLa) and normal human embryonic Kidney (HEK 293) cells was monitored by confocal fluorescence microscopy. In this way the influence of particle size, surface functionalization and the presence of transfection agent on cellular uptake were studied. In the presence of transfection agent both large (690 nm) and small microparticles (250 nm) were readily internalized by both cell lines. However, in absence of the transfection agent the uptake was influenced by particle size and surface PEGylation with the smaller nanoparticle size being delivered. The ability of microparticles to deliver a fluorescein dye model cargo was also demonstrated in normal (HEK 293) cell line. Taken together, these results indicate the potential use of these materials as candidates for biological applications.

Abstract
Reliable packaging for implantable neural prosthetic devices in body fluids is a long-standing challenge for devices’ chronic applications. This work studied the stability of Parylene C (PA), SiO2, and Si3N4 packages and coating strategies on tungsten wires using accelerated, reactive aging tests in three solutions: pH 7.4 phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), PBS + 30 mM H2O2, and PBS + 150 mM H2O2. Different combinations of coating thicknesses and deposition methods were studied at various testing temperatures. Analysis of the preliminary data shows that the pinholes/defects, cracks, and interface delamination are the main attributes of metal erosion and degradation in reactive aging solutions. Failure at the interface of package and metal is the dominating factor in the wire samples with open tips.

Abstract
Clinical application of osteofixation materials is essential in performing maxillofacial surgeries requiring rigid fixation of bone such as trauma surgery, orthognathic surgery, and skeletal reconstruction. In addition to the use of titanium plates and screws, clinical applications and attempts using bioabsorbable materials for osteofixation surgery are increasing with demands to avoid secondary surgery for the removal of plates and screws. Synthetic polymeric plates and screws were developed, reaching satisfactory physical properties comparable to those made with titanium. Although these polymeric materials are actively used in clinical practice, there remain some limitations to be improved. Due to questionable physical strength and cumbersome molding procedures, interests in resorbable metal materials for osteofixation emerged. Magnesium (Mg) gained attention again in the last decade as a new metallic alternative, and numerous animal studies to evaluate the possibility of clinical application of Mg-based materials are being conducted. Thanks to these researches and studies, vascular application of Mg-based biomaterials was successful; however, further studies are required for the clinical application of Mg-based biomaterials for osteofixation, especially in the facial skeleton.

Abstract
Implantable neural interfaces are important tools to accelerate neuroscience research and translate clinical neurotechnologies. The promise of a bidirectional communication link between the nervous system of humans and computers is compelling, yet important materials challenges must be first addressed to improve the reliability of implantable neural interfaces. This perspective highlights recent progress and challenges related to arguably two of the most common failure modes for implantable neural interfaces: (1) compromised barrier layers and packaging leading to failure of electronic components; (2) encapsulation and rejection of the implant due to injurious tissue-biomaterials interactions, which erode the quality and bandwidth of signals across the biology-technology interface. Innovative materials and device design concepts could address these failure modes to improve device performance and broaden the translational prospects of neural interfaces. A brief overview of contemporary neural interfaces is presented and followed by recent progress in chemistry, materials, and fabrication techniques to improve in vivo reliability, including novel barrier materials and harmonizing the various incongruences of the tissue-device interface. Challenges and opportunities related to the clinical translation of neural interfaces are also discussed.

Abstract
In the present research diamond-like carbon (DLC) films containing 4-29 at.% of silicon were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering of carbon target. Study by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed the presence of Si-C bonds in the films. Nevertheless, a significant amount of Si-O-C and Si-Ox bonds was present too. The shape of the Raman scattering spectra of all studied diamond-like carbon containing silicon (DLC:Si) films was typical for diamond-like carbon. However, some peculiarities related to silicon doping were found. Studies on the dependence of DLC:Si of the optical transmittance spectra on the Si atomic concentration have shown that doping by silicon affects linear, as well as nonlinear, optical properties of the films. It is shown that the normalized reflectance of DLC:Si films decreased with the increased exciting light fluence. No clear relation between the normalized reflectance and photoexcited charge carrier relaxation time was found. It was suggested that that the normalized reflectance decrease with fluence can be related to nonlinear optical properties of the hydrogenated diamond-like carbon phase in DLC:Si film.

Abstract
The process of modern cardiovascular device fabrication should always be associated with an investigation of how surface properties modulate its hemocompatibility through plasma protein adsorption as well as blood morphotic element activation and adhesion. In this work, a package of novel assays was used to correlate the physicochemical properties of thin ceramic coatings with hemocompatibility under dynamic conditions. Different variants of carbon-based films were prepared on polymer substrates using the magnetron sputtering method. The microstructural, mechanical, and surface physicochemical tests were performed to characterize the coatings, followed by investigation of whole human blood quality changes under blood flow conditions using the "Impact R" test, tubes' tester, and radial flow chamber assay. The applied methodology allowed us to determine that aggregate formation on hydrophobic and hydrophilic carbon-based coatings may follow one of the two different mechanisms dependent on the type and conformational changes of adsorbed blood plasma proteins.
