Abstract
Over the last few years, among controlled-release delivery systems, multivesicular liposomes (MVLs) have attracted attention due to their unique benefits as a loco-regional drug delivery system. Considering the clinical limitations of the current treatment strategies for osteomyelitis, MVLs can be a suitable carrier for the local delivery of effective antibiotics. This study aimed to prepare vancomycin hydrochloride (VAN HL) loaded MVLs using the active loading method which to the best of our knowledge has not been previously reported. Empty MVLS were prepared by the double emulsion (w/o/w) method and VAN HL was loaded into the prepared liposomes by the ammonium gradient method. After full characterization, the release profile of VAN HL from MVLs was assessed at two different pH values (5.5 and 7.4), and compared with the release profile of the free drug and also passively loaded MVLs. In vitro antimicrobial activities were evaluated using the disc diffusion method. Our results demonstrated that the encapsulation efficiency was higher than 90% in the optimum actively loaded MVL. The free VAN HL was released within 6-8 h, while the passively loaded MVLs and the optimum actively loaded MVL formulation released the drug in 6 days and up to 19 days, respectively. The released drug showed effective antibacterial activity against osteomyelitis-causing pathogens. In conclusion, the prepared formulation offered the advantages of sustained-release properties, appropriate particle size as well as being composed of biocompatible materials, and thus could be a promising candidate for the loco-regional delivery of VAN HL and the management of osteomyelitis.

Abstract
This clinical practice guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of acute bacterial arthritis (ABA) in children was developed by a multidisciplinary panel representing the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society (PIDS) and the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA). This guideline is intended for use by healthcare professionals who care for children with ABA, including specialists in pediatric infectious diseases and orthopedics. The panel's recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of ABA are based upon evidence derived from topic-specific systematic literature reviews. Summarized below are the recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of ABA in children. The panel followed a systematic process used in the development of other IDSA and PIDS clinical practice guidelines, which included a standardized methodology for rating the certainty of the evidence and strength of recommendation using the GRADE approach (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) (see Figure 1). A detailed description of background, methods, evidence summary and rationale that support each recommendation, and knowledge gaps can be found online in the full text.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Because biofilm formation is such a problematic feature of Staphylococcus aureus infections, much effort has been put into identifying biofilm inhibitors. However, the results observed with these compounds are often reported in isolation, and the methods used to assess biofilm formation vary between labs, making it impossible to assess relative efficacy and prioritize among these putative inhibitors for further study. The studies we report address this issue by directly comparing putative biofilm inhibitors using a consistent in vitro assay. This assay was previously shown to maximize biofilm formation, and the results observed with this assay have been proven to be relevant in vivo. Of the 19 compounds compared using this method, many had no impact on biofilm formation under these conditions. Indeed, only one proved effective at limiting biofilm formation without also inhibiting growth.

Abstract
The objective of the current study was to create an efficient, minimally invasive combined system comprising in situ forming hydrogel loaded with both spray-dried polymeric nanoparticles encapsulating linezolid and nanohydroxyapatite for local injection to bones or their close vicinity. The developed system was designed for a dual function namely releasing the drug in a sustained manner for long-term treatment of bone infections and supporting bone proliferation and new tissues generation. To achieve these objectives, two release sustainment systems for linezolid were optimized namely a composite in situ forming chitosan hydrogel and spray-dried PLGA/PLA solid nanoparticles. The composite, in situ forming hydrogel of chitosan was prepared using two different gelling agents namely glycerophosphate (GP) and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) at 3 different concentrations each. The spray-dried linezolid-loaded PLGA/PLA nanoparticles were developed using a water-soluble carrier (PVP K30) and a lipid soluble one (cetyl alcohol) along with 3 types of DL-lactide and/or DL-lactide-co-glycolide copolymer using nano-spray-drying technique. Finally, the optimized spray-dried linezolid nanoparticles were incorporated into the optimized composite hydrogel containing nanohydroxy apatite (nHA). The combined hydrogel/nanoparticle systems displayed reasonable injectability with excellent gelation time at 37 °C. The optimum formulae sustained the release of linezolid for 7-10 days, which reveals its ability to reduce the frequency of injection during the course of treatment of bones infections and increase the patients' compliance. They succeeded to alleviate the bone infections and the associated clinical, biochemical, radiological, and histopathological changes within 2-4 weeks of injection. As to the state of art in this study and to the best of our knowledge, no such complete and systematic study on this type of combined in situ forming hydrogel loaded with spray-dried nanoparticles of linezolid is available yet in literatures.

Abstract
Successfully treating bone infections is a major orthopedic challenge. Clinically, oral, intravenous, or intramuscular injections of drugs are usually used for direct or complementary treatment. However, once the drug enters the system, it circulates throughout the body, leading to an insufficient local dose and limiting the therapeutic effect because of the lack of targeting in the drug system. In this study, β-cyclodextrin, modified with poly (ethylene glycol) [PEG] and aspartic acid hexapeptide (Asp6-β-CD), was used to specifically target the hydroxyapatite (HA) component of the bone. It was then loaded with norfloxacin (NFX) to treat bone infections. The antibacterial ability of NFX was enhanced by loading it into Asp6-β-CD, because the solubility of Asp6-β-CD@NFX increased significantly. Moreover, Asp6-β-CD could target bone tissue in nude mice and showed significantly enhanced accumulation (10 times) than the unmodified β-CD. In addition, in a rat model of osteomyelitis, Asp6-β-CD@NFX targeted HA well and exerted its antibacterial activity, which reduced inflammation and promoted bone tissue repair. This study indicates that the Asp6-β-CD based drug delivery system can efficiently target bone tissue to enable potential applications for treating bone-related diseases.

Abstract
Osteomyelitis is an inflammatory bone disease typically caused by infectious microorganisms, often bacteria, which causes progressive bone destruction and loss. The most common bacteria associated with chronic osteomyelitis is Staphylococcus aureus. The incidence of osteomyelitis in the United States is estimated to be upwards of 50,000 cases annually and places a significant burden upon the healthcare system. There are three general categories of osteomyelitis: hematogenous; secondary to spread from a contiguous focus of infection, often from trauma or implanted medical devices and materials; and secondary to vascular disease, often a result of diabetic foot ulcers. Independent of the route of infection, osteomyelitis is often challenging to diagnose and treat, and the effect on the patient's quality of life is significant. Therapy for osteomyelitis varies based on category and clinical variables in each case. Therapeutic strategies are typically reliant upon protracted antimicrobial therapy and surgical interventions. Therapy is most successful when intensive and initiated early, although infection may recur months to years later. Also, treatment is accompanied by risks such as systemic toxicity, selection for antimicrobial drug resistance from prolonged antimicrobial use, and loss of form or function of the affected area due to radical surgical debridement or implant removal. The challenges of diagnosis and successful treatment, as well as the negative impacts on patient's quality of life, exemplify the need for improved strategies to combat bacterial osteomyelitis. There are many in vitro and in vivo investigations aimed toward better understanding of the pathophysiology of bacterial osteomyelitis, as well as improved diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Here, we review the role of animal models utilized for the study of bacterial osteomyelitis and their critically important role in understanding and improving the management of bacterial osteomyelitis.

Abstract
As medicine advances and physicians are able to provide patients with innovative solutions, including placement of temporary or permanent medical devices that drastically improve quality of life of the patient, there is the persistent, recurring problem of chronic bacterial infection, including osteomyelitis. Osteomyelitis can manifest as a result of traumatic or contaminated wounds or implant-associated infections. This bacterial infection can persist as a result of inadequate treatment regimens or the presence of biofilm on implanted medical devices. One strategy to mitigate these concerns is the use of implantable medical devices that simultaneously act as local drug delivery devices (DDDs). This classification of device has the potential to prevent or aid in clearing chronic bacterial infection by delivering effective doses of antibiotics to the area of interest and can be engineered to simultaneously aid in tissue regeneration. This review will provide a background on bacterial infection and current therapies as well as current and prospective implantable DDDs, with a particular emphasis on local DDDs to combat bacterial osteomyelitis.

Abstract
There are no anti-virulence and anti-biofilm treatments for Staphylococcus aureus infection. We found that 25 μM loratadine inhibits S. aureus biofilm formation under static or flow-based conditions. Testing of loratadine effects on 255 clinical S. aureus strains with varying biofilm robustness showed inhibition of biofilm formation in medium and strong, but not weak, biofilm-producing strains. At 25 μM, loratadine reduced pigmentation and hemolysis of the bacteria without affecting growth. Loratadine (5 mg/kg) reduced mortality in S. aureus pulmonary infection model mice and acted synergistically with vancomycin to reduce pulmonary bacterial load and levels of inflammatory cytokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Loratadine analogues (side-chain carbamate moiety changed) inhibited biofilm formation, pigmentation, and hemolysis of S. aureus. Regarding mechanism, loratadine exposure reduced RNA levels of virulence-related S. aureus genes, and loratadine-induced mutations in MgrA reduced loratadine-MgrA binding. Overexpression of mutated mgrA in wild-type S. aureus decreased the biofilm formation inhibition effect of loratadine. Loratadine inhibits S. aureus biofilm formation under static or flow conditions Loratadine reduced mortality in S. aureus pulmonary infection model mice Loratadine synergistically with vancomycin reduced pulmonary bacterial load Loratadine-induced mutations in MgrA reduced loratadine-MgrA binding

Abstract
Osteomyelitis, or bone infection, is a major complication of accidental trauma or surgical procedures involving the musculoskeletal system. Staphylococcus aureus is the most frequently isolated pathogen in osteomyelitis and triggers significant bone loss. Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) signaling has been implicated in antibacterial immune responses as well as bone development and repair. In this study, the impact of bone cell HIF signaling on antibacterial responses and pathologic changes in bone architecture was explored using genetic models with knockout of either Hif1a or a negative regulator of HIF-1α, Vhl. Deletion of Hif1a in osteoblast-lineage cells via Osx-Cre (Hif1aΔOB ) had no impact on bacterial clearance or pathologic changes in bone architecture in a model of post-traumatic osteomyelitis. Knockout of Vhl in osteoblast-lineage cells via Osx-Cre (VhlΔOB ) caused expected increases in trabecular bone volume per total volume (BV/TV) at baseline and, intriguingly, did not exhibit an infection-mediated decline in trabecular BV/TV, unlike control mice. Despite this phenotype, bacterial burdens were not affected by loss of Vhl. In vitro studies demonstrated that transcriptional regulation of the osteoclastogenic cytokine receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) and its inhibitor osteoprotegerin (OPG) is altered in osteoblast-lineage cells with knockout of Vhl. After observing no impact on bacterial clearance with osteoblast-lineage conditional knockouts, a LysM-Cre model was used to generate Hif1aΔMyeloid and VhlΔMyeloid mouse models to explore the impact of myeloid cell HIF signaling. In both Hif1aΔMyeloid and VhlΔMyeloid models, bacterial clearance was not impacted. Moreover, minimal impacts on bone architecture were observed. Thus, skeletal HIF signaling was not found to impact bacterial clearance in our mouse model of post-traumatic osteomyelitis, but Vhl deletion in the osteoblast lineage was found to limit infection-mediated trabecular bone loss, possibly via altered regulation of RANKL-OPG gene transcription.

Abstract
Using the USA300, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain LAC, we previously examined the impact of regulatory mutations implicated in biofilm formation on protease production and virulence in a murine sepsis model. Here we examined the impact of these mutations in the USA200, methicillin-sensitive strain UAMS-1. Mutation of agr, mgrA, rot, sarA and sigB attenuated the virulence of UAMS-1. A common characteristic of codY, rot, sigB, and sarA mutants was increased protease production, with mutation of rot having the least impact followed by mutation of codY, sigB and sarA, respectively. Protein A was undetectable in conditioned medium from all four mutants, while extracellular nuclease was only present in the proteolytically cleaved NucA form. The abundance of high molecular weight proteins was reduced in all four mutants. Biofilm formation was reduced in codY, sarA and sigB mutants, but not in the rot mutant. Eliminating protease production partially reversed these phenotypes and enhanced biofilm formation. This was also true in LAC codY, rot, sarA and sigB mutants. Eliminating protease production enhanced the virulence of LAC and UAMS-1 sarA, sigB and rot mutants in a murine sepsis model but did not significantly impact the virulence of the codY mutant in either strain. Nevertheless, these results demonstrate that repressing protease production plays an important role in defining critical phenotypes in diverse clinical isolates of S. aureus and that Rot, SigB and SarA play critical roles in this regard.

Abstract
Chronic osteomyelitis is a challenging disease due to its serious rates of mortality and morbidity while the currently available treatment strategies are suboptimal. In contrast to the adopted systemic treatment approaches after surgical debridement in chronic osteomyelitis, local drug delivery systems are receiving great attention in the recent decades. Local drug delivery systems using special carriers have the pros of enhancing the feasibility of penetration of antimicrobial agents to bone tissues, providing sustained release and localized concentrations of the antimicrobial agents in the infected area while avoiding the systemic side effects and toxicity. Most important, the incorporation of osteoinductive and osteoconductive materials in these systems assists bones proliferation and differentiation, hence the generation of new bone materials is enhanced. Some of these systems can also provide mechanical support for the long bones during the healing process. Most important, if the local systems are designed to be injectable to the affected site and biodegradable, they will reduce the level of invasion required for implantation and can win the patients’ compliance and reduce the healing period. They will also allow multiple injections during the course of therapy to guard against the side effect of the long-term systemic therapy. The current review presents different available approaches for delivering antimicrobial agents for the treatment of osteomyelitis focusing on the recent advances in researches for local delivery of antibiotics.HIGHLIGHTS Chronic osteomyelitis is a challenging disease due to its serious mortality and morbidity rates and limited effective treatment options.

Abstract
A self-setting, injectable polymeric dicalcium phosphate dehydrate bone graft substitute that is mechanically strong and has excellent cohesion was developed. We assessed the performance of erythromycin-loaded polymeric dicalcium phosphate dehydrate cement. Its properties include drug release, growth inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus and biocompatibility with osteoblastic MC3T3 cells. The impact of erythromycin loading on cement injectability, setting time, and mechanical strength were also evaluated. A sustained, low burst release of erythromycin was observed. Eluents collected from erythromycin-loaded cement showed a considerable zone of inhibition for up to 28 days. Direct contact of erythromycin-loaded cement discs with agar plate showed a similarly sizable zone of inhibition for up to 22 days. Degraded ceramic residues had strong zones of inhibition as well. While the erythromycin-loaded cement was injectable, a notable delay of the setting time was observed (49.2 ± 6.8 min) as compared with control (drug-free cement, 12.2 ± 2.6 min). A slight increase in compressive strength (60.83 ± 6.28 MPa) was observed in erythromycin-loaded cement as compared with control (59.41 ± 6.48 MPa). Erythromycin-loaded cement was biocompatible although reduced cell growth was observed in the presence of the cement eluent. We propose that the bactericidal efficacy of erythromycin-loaded cement was caused by the combined effects of erythromycin released and exposed on the contact surface of degrading ceramics. Our data may elucidate the future application of polymeric dicalcium phosphate dehydrate bone graft substitute for the treatment of orthopedic infections and opportunities to use other antibiotics and applications considering its comparable handling and mechanical strength to poly (methyl methacrylate) cements.

Abstract
Preventing deep bacterial infection and simultaneously enhancing osteogenic differentiation are in great demand for osteomyelitis. Microwave (MW) dynamic therapy is attracting attention due to its excellent penetration ability, but the mechanism of MW-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) is still unknown. Herein, MW-responsive engineered pseudo-macrophages (M-Fe3 O4 /Au nanoparticles (NPs)) are fabricated to clear Staphylococcus aureus infections and induce M2 polarization of macrophages to improve osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) under MW irradiation. Fe3 O4 /Au NPs can generate ·O2 - and heat under MW irradiation in a saline solution, and the mechanism is put forward via finite element modeling and density functional theory calculations. Due to the gap plasmon, electromagnetic hotspots are produced at Fe3 O4 -Au interface at 2.45 GHz. Because of these induced electromagnetic hotspots, the sodium species is field-ionized and subsequently reacts with oxygen to produce ·O2 - . Meanwhile, the Fe3 O4 /Au NPs have a stronger ability than Fe3 O4 NPs to fix oxygen, favoring the production of ROS. Additionally, MW-treated macrophages diminish to secrete inflammatory cytokines, resulting in the decrease of ROS production in MSCs and thus enhancing their osteogenic differentiation. These engineered pseudo-macrophages will be promising for effectively treating bacterial infections and promoting osteoblast differentiation simultaneously in deep tissues under MW irradiation.

Abstract
This clinical practice guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis (AHO) in children was developed by a multidisciplinary panel representing Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society (PIDS) and the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA). This guideline is intended for use by healthcare professionals who care for children with AHO, including specialists in pediatric infectious diseases, orthopedics, emergency care physicians, hospitalists, and any clinicians and healthcare providers caring for these patients. The panel's recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of AHO are based upon evidence derived from topic-specific systematic literature reviews. Summarized below are the recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of AHO in children. The panel followed a systematic process used in the development of other IDSA and PIDS clinical practice guidelines, which included a standardized methodology for rating the certainty of the evidence and strength of recommendation using the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) approach. A detailed description of background, methods, evidence summary and rationale that support each recommendation, and knowledge gaps can be found online in the full text.

Abstract
We previously reported the development of an osteogenic bone filler scaffold consisting of degradable polyurethane, hydroxyapatite, and decellularized bovine bone particles. The current study was aimed at evaluating the use of this scaffold as a means of local antibiotic delivery to prevent infection in a bone defect contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus. We evaluated two scaffold formulations with the same component ratios but differing overall porosity and surface area. Studies with vancomycin, daptomycin, and gentamicin confirmed that antibiotic uptake was concentration dependent and that increased porosity correlated with increased uptake and prolonged antibiotic release. We also demonstrate that vancomycin can be passively loaded into either formulation in sufficient concentration to prevent infection in a rabbit model of a contaminated segmental bone defect. Moreover, even in those few cases in which complete eradication was not achieved, the number of viable bacteria in the bone was significantly reduced by treatment and there was no radiographic evidence of osteomyelitis. Radiographs and microcomputed tomography (µCT) analysis from the in vivo studies also suggested that the addition of vancomycin did not have any significant effect on the scaffold itself. These results demonstrate the potential utility of our bone regeneration scaffold for local antibiotic delivery to prevent infection in contaminated bone defects.

Abstract
A number of clinical studies have highlighted the success of antibiotics formulated at concentrations between 0 and 6% w/w into bone cements to address localized infections. Separately, some commercial manufacturers have produced gentamycin-infused bone cement mixtures as a countermeasure to infection. The anecdotal evidence suggests that antibiotic infused cements can help eradicate or delay the onset of infections. Quantifying the functionality of that response is more challenging. We have surveyed the literature to identify studies in which controlled drug release or mechanical behavioral assessments have been conducted on drug-infused cements. The focus here is on vancomycin (VAN) in part due to its higher potency relative to gentamycin and its more common usage for staph infections. Takeaways from the limited pool of research studies indicate that large fractions (>99%) of the infused vancomycin remain sequestered in the cement and aren't bioavailable after solidification. Antibiotic fluence ranged from 1 to 283 μg/cm2hr. The initial strength of the various antibiotic loaded samples as produced were 52-96 MPa. Simulated exposures in a fluid environment by submersion reduced the antibiotic loaded strengths between 3 and 29%. Some strength measurements were noted below the ASTM F451 standard for acrylic bone cement although drug releasing spacers likely have different requirements. The glassy behavior of the cured cement led to both vancomycin and gentamicin having low permeability and a burst response. Smaller drug molecules and more gel-like immobilization matrices with lower glass transition temperatures offer higher potential for larger and more comprehensive drug bioavailability.

Abstract
Non-gustatory, extraoral bitter taste receptors (T2Rs) are G-protein coupled receptors that are expressed throughout the body and have various functional responses when stimulated by bitter agonists. Presently, T2Rs have been found to be expressed in osteoclasts and osteocytes where osteoclasts were capable of detecting bacterial quorum-sensing molecules through the T2R38 isoform. In the innate immune system, stimulating T2Rs induces anti-inflammatory and anti-pathogenic effects through the phospholipase C/inositol triphosphate pathway, which leads to intracellular calcium release from the endoplasmic reticulum. The immune cells with functional responses to T2R activation also play a role in bone inflammation and orthopaedic disorders. Furthermore, increasing intracellular calcium levels in bone cells through T2R activation can potentially influence bone formation and resorption. With recent studies finding T2R expression in bone cells, we examine the potential of targeting this receptor to treat bone inflammation and to promote bone anabolism.

Abstract
Abstract Polymethylmethacrylate bone cement is a standard material used as antibiotic carrier in the orthopedic surgery. The ultrasonic energy method is capable of triggering biological effects based on both thermal and non-thermal mechanisms. The aim of the current study is to analyze methylene blue dispersion in polymethylmethacrylate beads, in association with the acoustic field generated by non-thermal ultrasound. Forty-nine specimens were used, and each specimen comprised one polymethylmethacrylate bead (0.6-mm diameter) doped with methylene blue and deposited in gelatin sample. Forty test specimens were divided into four groups comprising 10 samples, each, based on different ultrasound intensities (Group 1: 1.0 W/cm2; Group 2: 1.5 W/cm2) and polymethylmethacrylate bead depths (A - 2 cm; B - 3 cm) in gelatin sample. The control group comprised other nine specimens and statistically differed from the other groups. All groups irradiated with ultrasound have shown statistically significant differences in methylene blue dispersion, except for Groups 2A and 2B. Methylene blue dispersion in gelatin among groups was 1A> 1B; 2A> 1A; 2B> 1A; 2A> 1B; and 2B> 1B. Low-intensity ultrasound enabled the highest methylene blue dispersion when polymethylmethacrylate bead was positioned superficial; bead depth associated with high-intensity ultrasound did not influence methylene blue dispersion.

Abstract
The treatment of acute and chronic bone infections remains a major clinical challenge. The various factors released by the bacteria, acidic environment, and bacterial colonies in the bone grooves and implanted synthetic materials collectively promote the formation of biofilms. Dormant bacteria and biofilms cause infections that are difficult to cure and that can develop chronically. Therefore, a new antibacterial material was synthesized in the present study for multifunctional bone infection therapy and consists of specific demineralized extracellular cancellous bone (SDECM) crosslinked with vancomycin (Van) by means of electrostatic interactions and chemical bonds. It was verified in vitro that the new material (Van-SDECM) not only has pH-sensitive release and biofilm inhibition properties, but also maintains sustained bactericidal ability accompanied by the degradation of the scaffold, which does not affect its favorable osteogenic performance. The infectious bone defect in vivo model further confirms the comprehensive anti-infective and osteogenic ability of the Van-SDECM. Further, these favorable properties are due to the pH-sensitive sustained release sterilization and scaffold contact antibacterial properties, accompanied by osteoclast activity inhibition, osteogenesis promotion and immunoregulation effects. This study provides a new drug-scaffold composite preparation method based on a native-derived extracellular matrix scaffold.

Abstract
Osteomyelitis is a complex disease in orthopedics mainly caused by bacterial pathogens invading bone or bone marrow. The treatment of osteomyelitis is highly difficult and it is a major challenge in orthopedic surgery. The long-term systemic use of antibiotics may lead to antibiotic resistance and has limited effects on eradicating local biofilms. Localized antibiotic delivery after surgical debridement can overcome the problem of antibiotic resistance and reduce systemic toxicity. Chitosan, a special cationic polysaccharide, is a product extracted from the deacetylation of chitin. It has numerous advantages, such as nontoxicity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Recently, chitosan has attracted significant attention in bacterial inhibition and drug delivery. Because chitosan contains many functional bioactive groups conducive to chemical reaction and modification, some chitosan-based biomaterials have been applied as the local antibiotic delivery systems in the treatment of osteomyelitis. This review aims to introduce recent advances in the biomedical applications of chitosan-based drug delivery systems in osteomyelitis treatment and to highlight the perspectives for further studies.

Abstract
The aim of this work is to develop dual-functional scaffolds for bone tissue regeneration and local antibiotic delivery applications. In this respect, bioresorbable bredigite (Ca7MgSi4O16) porous scaffolds were fabricated by a foam replica method, loaded with vancomycin hydrochloride and encapsulated in poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) coatings. Field emission scanning electron microscopy, Archimedes porosimetry and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize the structure of the scaffolds. The drug delivery kinetics and cytocompatibility of the prepared scaffolds were also studied in vitro. The bare sample exhibited a burst release of vancomycin and low biocompatibility with respect to dental pulp stem cells based on the MTT assay due to the fast bioresorption of bredigite. While keeping the desirable characteristics of pores for tissue engineering, the biodegradable PLGA coatings modified the drug release kinetics, buffered physiological pH and hence improved the cell viability of the vancomycin-loaded scaffolds considerably.

Abstract
PURPOSE In most cases, traditional techniques to perform an anastomosis following gastrointestinal resections lead to successful healing. However, despite focused research in the field, in certain high-risk situations leakage rates remain almost unchanged. Here, additional techniques may help the surgeon to protect the anastomosis and prevent leakage. We give an overview of some of the latest developments on experimental and clinical techniques for induction of anastomotic healing. METHODS We performed a review of the current literature on approaches to improve anastomotic healing. RESULTS Many promising approaches with a high clinical potential are in the developmental pipeline. Highly experimental approaches like inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases, stem cell therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, induction of the hypoxic adaptive response, and the administration of growth factors are still in the preclinical phase. Other more clinical developments aim to strengthen the anastomotic suture line mechanically while shielding it from the influence of the microbiome. Among them are gluing, seaming the staple line, attachment of laminar biomaterials, and temporary intraluminal tubes. In addition, individualized bowel preparation, selectively reducing certain detrimental microbial populations could become the next stage of bowel preparation. Compression anastomoses are evolving as an equivalent technique additional to established hand-sewn and stapled anastomoses. Fluorescence angiography and flexible endoscopy could complement intraoperative quality control additionally to the air leak tests. Virtual ileostomy is a concept to prepare the bowel for the easy formation of a stoma in case of leakage. CONCLUSION A variety of promising diagnostic and prophylactic measures that may support the surgeon in identifying high-risk anastomoses and support them according to their potential deficits is currently in development.

Abstract
Osteomyelitis, or inflammation of bone, is most commonly caused by invasion of bacterial pathogens into the skeleton. Bacterial osteomyelitis is notoriously difficult to treat, in part because of the widespread antimicrobial resistance in the preeminent etiologic agent, the Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus Bacterial osteomyelitis triggers pathological bone remodeling, which in turn leads to sequestration of infectious foci from innate immune effectors and systemically delivered antimicrobials. Treatment of osteomyelitis therefore typically consists of long courses of antibiotics in conjunction with surgical debridement of necrotic infected tissues. Even with these extreme measures, many patients go on to develop chronic infection or sustain disease comorbidities. A better mechanistic understanding of how bacteria invade, survive within, and trigger pathological remodeling of bone could therefore lead to new therapies aimed at prevention or treatment of osteomyelitis as well as amelioration of disease morbidity. In this minireview, we highlight recent developments in our understanding of how pathogens invade and survive within bone, how bacterial infection or resulting innate immune responses trigger changes in bone remodeling, and how model systems can be leveraged to identify new therapeutic targets. We review the current state of osteomyelitis epidemiology, diagnostics, and therapeutic guidelines to help direct future research in bacterial pathogenesis.

Abstract
Osteomyelitis is a devastating disease caused by the infection of bone tissue and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It is treated with antibiotic therapy and surgical debridement. A high dose of systemic antibiotics is often required due to poor bone penetration and this is often associated with unacceptable side-effects. To overcome this, local, implantable antibiotic carriers such as polymethyl methacrylate have been developed. However, this is a non-biodegradable material that requires a second surgery to be removed. Attention has therefore shifted to new antibiotic-eluting scaffolds which can be created with a range of unique properties. The purpose of this review is to assess the level of evidence that exists for these novel local treatments. Although this field is still developing, these strategies seem promising and provide hope for the future treatment of chronic osteomyelitis.

Abstract
Background Osteomyelitis is a severe bone infection and typically leads to progressive bone resorption, destruction and dysfunction. Pyroptosis is a form of programmed cell death involved in various infectious diseases. However, the identification of pyroptosis and the role it plays in osteomyelitis remains to be clarified. In this study, we investigated the expression of pyroptosis-associated proteins in osteomyelitis and the effects of inhibiting pyroptosis on S. aureus-induced osteomyelitis both in vitro and in vivo. Methods The expression of pyroptosis-associated protein-NLRP3 (NLR Family Pyrin Domain Containing 3), Caspase1 and GSDMD (GasderminD) were examined in murine and human infectious bone fragments by western blot. Bone destruction was evaluated by microcomputed tomography (µCT). The concentration of inflammatory factors was tested by Enzyme linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The expression of pyroptosis-associated gene was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Results The expression of pyroptosis-associated proteins in infectious bone fragments from patients with osteomyelitis was significantly higher than uninfected bone. Additionally, in S. aureus-induced murine osteomyelitis model, higher expression of pyroptosis-associated proteins was noticed. Furthermore, the inhibitors of pyroptosis-associated proteins alleviated S. aureus-induced pyroptosis both in vivo and in vitro. More importantly, the inhibition of pyroptosis restored the bone formative property, attenuated the aberrant activation of osteoclast in vitro and reversed bone injury in vivo. Conclusions Our study identified pyroptosis as a key pathway in osteomyelitis and elaborated that the inhibition of pyroptosis could attenuate S. aureus-induced bone destruction in osteomyelitis, providing a potential treatment target to osteomyelitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to design and test a novel composite scaffold with antibacterial efficacy for treating bone infections using a three-dimensional (3D) printed poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffold coated with polydopamine (PDA) for the adsorption of polylactic acid-glycolic acid (PLGA) microspheres loaded with vancomycin. MATERIAL AND METHODS Vancomycin-loaded PLGA microspheres were produced by the double-emulsion method, and microsphere morphology, drug-loading dosage, encapsulation efficiency, average diameter, and release characteristics were examined. Composite scaffolds were prepared by adsorption of the microspheres on PDA-coated, 3D-printed PCL scaffolds, and scaffold morphology, biocompatibility, vancomycin release, and antibacterial efficacy were evaluated. RESULTS The vancomycin-loaded microspheres were smooth, round, uniform in size, and had no adhesion phenomenon, and exhibited sustained release of vancomycin from the microspheres for more than 4 weeks. Upon modification with PDA, the PCL scaffold changed from white to black, and after microsphere adsorption, dot-like white particles were seen. On scanning electron microscopy, PDA particles were observed on the PCL/PDA composite scaffolds, and PLGA microspheres were evenly dispersed over the PDA coating on the PCL/PDA/PLGA composite scaffolds. Cell viability assays showed that the adhesion and proliferation of rabbit bone mesenchymal stem cells were greater on the PCL/PDA scaffolds than on unmodified PCL scaffolds. Microsphere adsorption had no significant effect on cell proliferation. In vitro release of vancomycin from the composite scaffolds was observed for more than 4 weeks, and observation of the inhibition zone on agar plates of Staphylococcus aureus showed that the scaffolds maintained their antibacterial effect for more than 4 weeks. CONCLUSIONS The 3D-printed, PDA-coated PCL scaffold carrying vancomycin-loaded PLGA microspheres exhibited good biocompatibility and a sustained antibacterial effect in vitro.
