Abstract
Infection is one of the main issues connected to implantation of biomedical devices and represents a very difficult issue to tackle, for clinicians and for patients. This study aimed at tackling infection through antibacterial nanostructured silver coatings manufactured by Ionized Jet Deposition (IJD) for application as new and advanced coating systems for medical devices. Films composition and morphology depending on deposition parameters were investigated and their performances evaluated by correlating these properties with the antibacterial and antibiofilm efficacy of the coatings, against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus strains and with their cytotoxicity towards human cell line fibroblasts. The biocompatibility of the coatings, the nanotoxicity, and the safety of the proposed approach were evaluated, for the first time, in vitro and in vivo by rat subcutaneous implant models. Different deposition times, corresponding to different thicknesses, were selected and compared. All silver coatings exhibited a highly homogeneous surface composed of nanosized spherical aggregates. All coatings having a thickness of 50 nm and above showed high antibacterial efficacy, while none of the tested options caused cytotoxicity when tested in vitro. Indeed, silver films impacted on bacterial strains viability and capability to adhere to the substrate, in a thickness-dependent manner. The nanostructure obtained by IJD permitted to mitigate the toxicity of silver, conferring strong antibacterial and anti-adhesive features, without affecting the coatings biocompatibility. At the explant, the coatings were still present although they showed signs of progressive dissolution, compatible with the release of silver, but no cracking, delamination or in vivo toxicity was observed.

Abstract
Over the past decade, bone tissue engineering has been at the core of attention because of an increasing number of implant surgeries. The purpose of this study was to obtain coatings on titanium (Ti) implants with improved properties in terms of biomedical applications and to investigate the effect of ultrasound (US) on these properties during the micro-arc oxidation (MAO) process. The influence of various process parameters, such as time and current density, as well as US mode, on the properties of such coatings was evaluated. Novel porous calcium-phosphate-based coatings were obtained on commercially pure Ti. Their microstructure, chemical composition, topography, wettability, nanomechanical properties, thickness, adhesion to the substrate, and corrosion resistance were analyzed. In addition, cytocompatibility evaluation was checked with the human osteoblasts. The properties of the coatings varied significantly, depending on applied process parameters. The US application during the MAO process contributes to the increase of coating thickness, porosity, roughness, and skewness, as well as augmented calcium incorporation. The most advantageous coating was obtained at a current of 136 mA, time 450 s, and unipolar rectangular US, as it exhibits high porosity, adequate wettability, and beneficial skewness, which enabled increased adhesion and proliferation of osteoblasts during in vitro studies. Finally, the conducted research demonstrated the influence of various UMAO process parameters, which allowed for the selection of appropriate Ti implant modification for specific biomedical utilization.

Abstract
In the cardiovascular field, coating containing copper used to catalyze NO (nitric oxide) production on non-degradable metal surfaces have shown unparalleled expected performance, but there are few studies on biodegradable metal surfaces. Magnesium-based biodegradable metals have been applied in cardiovascular field in large-scale because of their excellent properties. In this study, the coating of copper loaded in silk fibroin is fabricated on biodegradable ZE21B alloy. Importantly, the different content of copper is set to investigate the effects of on the degradation performance and cell behavior of magnesium alloy. Through electrochemical and immersion experiments, it is found that high content of copper will accelerate the corrosion of magnesium alloy. The reason is the spontaneous micro-batteries between copper and magnesium with the different standard electrode potentials, that is, the galvanic corrosion accelerates the corrosion of magnesium alloy. Moreover, the coating formed through silk fibroin by the right amount copper not only have a protective effect on the ZE21B alloy substrate, but also promotes the adhesion and proliferation of endothelial cells in blood vessel micro-environment. The production of NO catalyzed by copper ions makes this trend more significant, and inhibits the excessive proliferation of smooth muscle cells. These findings can provide guidance for the amount of copper in the coating on the surface of biodegradable magnesium alloy used for cardiovascular stent purpose.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stent encrustation with debris and mucostasis is a significant cause of airway injury and comorbidity, leading to ~25% of stent exchanges (1-3). Previous work from our group has shown that the experimental coating can reduce mucous adhesion in bench testing and demonstrated a signal for reducing airway injury and mucostasis in a feasibility study. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to continue our inquiry in a randomized, single-blinded multi-animal trial to investigate the degree of airway injury and mucostasis using silicone stents with and without this specialized coating. METHODS We modified commercially available silicone stents with a hydrophilic polymer from Toray Industries. We conducted an in vivo survival study in 6 mainstem airways (3 coated and 3 uncoated) of 3 pigs to compare the degree of airway injury and mucostasis between coated versus noncoated stented airways. Both stents were randomized to either left or right mainstem bronchus. The pathologist was blinded to the stent type. RESULTS We implanted a total of six 14×15 mm silicone stents (1 per mainstem bronchi) into 3 pigs. All animals survived to termination at 4 weeks. All stents were intact; however, 1 uncoated stent migrated out. On average, all the coated stents demonstrated reduced pathology and tissue injury scores (75 vs. 68.3, respectively). The average total dried mucous weight was slightly higher in the coated stents (0.07 g vs. 0.05 g; respectively). CONCLUSION Coated stents had lower airway injury compared with uncoated stents in this study. Of all the stents, 1 uncoated stent migrated out and was not included in the dried mucous weight totals. This could explain the slightly higher mucous weight in the coated stents. Nevertheless, this current study demonstrates promising results in lowering airway injury in stents incorporated with the hydrophilic coating, and future studies, including a larger number of subjects, would be needed to corroborate our findings.

Abstract
Self-healing coatings improve the durability of magnesium (Mg) implants, but rapid corrosion still poses a challenge in the healing stage. Moreover, Mg-based materials with acceptable bacteria killing, osteogenic and angiogenic properties are challenging in biomedical applications. Herein, the self-healing polymeric coatings are fabricated on Mg alloys using the spin-assisted layer-by-layer (SLbL) assembly of hyaluronic acid (HA) and branched polyethyleneimine (bPEI) followed by chemical crosslinking treatment. The self-healing coatings show excellent adhesion strength and structure stability. The corrosion resistance is improved due to the physical barrier of polymer coatings, which also promotes the formation of hydroxyapatite (HAp) during degradation for further protection of Mg substrate. Owing to the dynamic reversible hydrogen bonds existing between HA and bPEI, the crosslinked multilayered coatings possess fast, substantial, and cyclic self-healing capabilities leading to restoration of the original structure and functions. In vitro investigations reveal that the self-healing coatings have multiple functionalities pertaining to bacteria killing, cytocompatibility, osteogenesis, as well as angiogenesis. In addition, the self-healing coatings stimulate alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP), extracellular matrix (ECM) mineralization, and the expression of osteogenesis-related genes of mBMSCs and HUVECs. This study reveals a feasible strategy to design and prepare versatile self-healing coatings on Mg implants for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Silk fibroin coatings on biomedical magnesium alloys have garnered significant attention due to their enhanced corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. However, the utilization of wild A. pernyi silk fibroin, known for its RGD sequence that facilitates tissue regeneration, presents a challenge for corrosion-resistant coatings on magnesium alloys due to its weak adhesion and high dissolution rate. In this study, we employed hexafluoroisopropanol as a solvent to blend A. pernyi silk fibroin with B. mori silk fibroin. The resulting blended fibroin coating at a 3:7 mass ratio exhibited a heterogeneous nucleation effect, enhancing β-sheet content (32.3 %) and crystallinity (28.6 %). This improved β-sheet promoted the "labyrinth effect" with an Icorr of 2.15 × 10-6 A cm-2, resulting in significantly improved corrosion resistance, which is two orders of magnitude lower than that of pure magnesium alloy. Meanwhile, the increased content of exposed serine in zigzag β-sheet contributes to a higher adhesion strength. Cell cytotoxicity evaluation confirmed the enhanced cell adhesion and bioactivity. This work provides a facile approach for wild A. pernyi silk fibroin coatings on magnesium alloys with enhanced corrosion resistance, adhesion and biocompatibility.

Abstract
For decades, titanium implants have shown impressive advantages in bone repair. However, the preparation of implants with excellent antimicrobial properties as well as better osseointegration ability remains difficult for clinical application. In this study, black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNSs) were doped into hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings using electrophoretic deposition. The coatings' surface morphology, roughness, water contact angle, photothermal properties, and antibacterial properties were investigated. The BP/HA coating exhibited a surface roughness of 59.1 nm, providing an ideal substrate for cell attachment and growth. The water contact angle on the BP/HA coating was measured to be approximately 8.55°, indicating its hydrophilic nature. The BPNSs demonstrated efficient photothermal conversion, with a temperature increase of 42.2°C under laser irradiation. The BP/HA composite coating exhibited a significant reduction in bacterial growth, with inhibition rates of 95.6% and 96.1% against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. In addition, the cytocompatibility of the composite coating was evaluated by cell adhesion, CCK8 and AM/PI staining; the effect of the composite coating in promoting angiogenesis was assessed by scratch assay, transwell assay, and protein blotting; and the osteoinductivity of the composite coating was evaluated by alkaline phosphatase assay, alizarin red staining, and Western blot. The results showed that the BP/HA composite coating exhibited superior performance in promoting biological functions such as cell proliferation and adhesion, antibacterial activity, osteogenic differentiation, and angiogenesis, and had potential applications in vascularized bone regeneration.

Abstract
It is known that titanium (Ti) implant surfaces exhibit poor antibacterial properties and osteogenesis. In this study, chitosan particles loaded with aspirin, amoxicillin or aspirin + amoxicillin were synthesized and coated onto implant surfaces. In addition to analysing the surface characteristics of the modified Ti surfaces, the effects of the modified Ti surfaces on the adhesion and viability of rat bone marrow-derived stem cells (rBMSCs) were evaluated. The metabolic activities of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) biofilms on the modified Ti surfaces were also measured in vitro. Moreover, S. aureus was tested for its antibacterial effect by coating it in vivo. Using water as the droplet medium, the contact angles of the modified Ti surfaces increased from 44.12 ± 1.75° to 58.37 ± 4.15°. In comparison to those of the other groups tested, significant increases in rBMSC adhesion and proliferation were observed in the presence of aspirin + amoxicillin-loaded microspheres, whereas a significant reduction in the metabolic level of biofilms was observed in the presence of aspirin + amoxicillin-loaded microspheres both in vitro and in vivo. Aspirin and amoxicillin could be used in combination to coat implant surfaces to mitigate bacterial activities and promote osteogenesis.

Abstract
Efficient, simple antibacterial materials to combat implant-associated infections are much in demand. Herein, the development of polyurethanes, both cross-linked thermoset and flexible and versatile thermoplastic, suitable for "click on demand" attachment of antibacterial compounds enabled via incorporation of an alkyne-containing diol monomer in the polymer backbone, is described. By employing different polyolic polytetrahydrofurans, isocyanates, and chain extenders, a robust and flexible material comparable to commercial thermoplastic polyurethane is prepared. A series of short synthetic antimicrobial peptides are designed, synthesized, and covalently attached in a single coupling step to generate a homogenous coating. The lead material is shown to be biocompatible and does not display any toxicity against either mouse fibroblasts or reconstructed human epidermis according to ISO and OECD guidelines. The repelling performance of the peptide-coated materials is illustrated against colonization and biofilm formation by Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis on coated plastic films and finally, on coated commercial central venous catheters employing LIVE/DEAD staining, confocal laser scanning microscopy, and bacterial counts. This study presents the successful development of a versatile and scalable polyurethane with the potential for use in the medical field to reduce the impact of bacterial biofilms.

Abstract
Orthopedic implants such as knee and hip implants are one of the most important types of medical devices. Currently, the surface of the most advanced implants consists of titanium or titanium-alloys with high porosity at the bone-contacting surface leading to superior mechanical properties, excellent biocompatibility, and the capability of inducing osseointegration. However, the increased surface area of porous titanium provides a nidus for bacteria colonization leading to implant-related infections, one of the main reasons for implant failure. Here, two readily applicable titanium-coatings based on hydrophilic carboxybetaine polymers that turn the surface stealth thereby preventing bacterial adhesion and colonization are developed. These coatings are biocompatible, do not affect cell functionality, exhibit great antifouling properties, and do not cause additional inflammation during the healing process. In this way, the coatings can prevent implant-related infections, while at the same time being completely innocuous to its biological environment. Thus, these coating strategies are a promising route to enhance the biocompatibility of orthopedic implants and have a high potential for clinical use, while being easy to implement in the implant manufacturing process.

Abstract
We aimed to improve the biocompatibility and osteoinductive potential of Ti implants using a simulated intraoral hydroxyapatite (HAp) coating. We devised a novel surface treatment for aggressive induction of osteoblast adhesion and bone regeneration on the implant surface. A thin α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) film was deposited on the implant surface using a pulsed Er:YAG laser. The coating was converted to HAp through artificial saliva immersion, which was confirmed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). SEM showed needle-like HAp crystals on the Ti disks and sandblasted implant surfaces after immersion in artificial saliva for 96 h. Microcomputed tomography and histological evaluation 4 and 8 weeks after implantation into beagle dog mandibles showed that the HAp-coated implant was biocompatible and exhibited superior osteoinduction compared to that of sandblasted implants. Coating the implant surface with HAp using an Er:YAG laser has potential as a new method of the implant-surface debridement.

Abstract
Self-healing coatings have shown promise in controlling the degradation of scaffolds and addressing coating detachment issues. However, developing a self-healing coating for magnesium (Mg) possessing multiple biological functions in infectious environments remains a significant challenge. In this study, a self-healing coating was developed for magnesium scaffolds using oxidized dextran (OD), 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES), and nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) doped micro-arc oxidation (MHA), named OD-MHA/Mg. The results demonstrated that the OD-MHA coating effectively addresses coating detachment issues and controls the degradation of Mg in an infectious environment through self-healing mechanisms. Furthermore, the OD-MHA/Mg scaffold exhibits antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-apoptotic properties, it also promotes bone repair by upregulating the expression of osteogenesis genes and proteins. The findings of this study indicate that the OD-MHA coated Mg scaffold possessing multiple biological functions presents a promising approach for addressing infectious bone defects. Additionally, the study showcases the potential of polysaccharides with multiple biological functions in facilitating tissue healing even in challenging environments.

Abstract
Iodine-containing coatings were prepared on pure Ti surfaces via electrochemical deposition to enhance their antibacterial properties. The factors influencing iodine content were analyzed using an orthogonal experiment. The electrochemically deposited samples were characterized using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and their antibacterial properties and cytotoxicity were evaluated. The results showed that changing the deposition time is an effective way to control the iodine content. The iodine content, coating thickness, and adhesion of the samples increased with deposition time. Iodine in the coatings mainly exists in three forms, which are I2, I3-, and pentavalent iodine. For samples with iodine-containing coatings, the antibacterial ratios against E. coli and S. aureus were greater than 90% and increased with increasing iodine content. Although the samples with iodine-containing coatings showed some inhibition of the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells, the cell viabilities were all higher than 80%, suggesting that iodine-containing coatings are biosafe.

Abstract
Periprosthetic infection is a devastating postimplantation complication in which a biofilm layer harboring invasive microorganisms forms around orthopedic implants, leading to severe implant failure and patient morbidity. Despite the development of several infection-triggered antibiotic release approaches, most current antibacterial coatings are susceptible to undesired antibiotic leakage or mechanical disintegration during prosthesis installation. Herein, we propose a self-controllable proteinic antibacterial coating capable of both long-lasting adherence onto titanium implant substrates over the implant fixation period and instantaneous bacterial eradication. Importantly, the pH-dependent reversible metal coordination of mussel adhesive protein (MAP) enabled bacterial concentration-dependent antibiotic delivery in response to infection-induced acidification. In addition, the MAP coating exhibited superior self-healable adhesive properties and scratch resistance, which enabled to avert issues associated with mechanical damages, including peeling and cracking, often occurring in conventional implant coating systems. The gentamicin-loaded MAP coating exhibited complete inhibition of bacterial growth in vivo against Staphylococcus aureus penetrations during implantation surgery (immediate infection) and even 4 weeks after implantation (delayed infection). Thus, our antibiotic-loaded MAP hydrogel coating can open new avenues for self-defensive antibiotic prophylaxis to achieve instant and sustainable bacteriocidal activity in orthopedic prostheses. © 2017 Elsevier Inc.

Abstract
Stainless steel (316L SS) has been widely used in orthopedic, cardiovascular stents, and other biomedical implant applications due to its strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. To address the weak interaction between steel implants and tissues, it is a widely adopted strategy to enhance implant performance through the application of bioactive coatings. In this study, Cu-doped brushite coatings were deposited successfully through pulse electrodeposition on steel substrates facilitated with a biosurfactant (BS) (i.e., surfactin). Further, the combined effect of various concentrations of Cu ions and BS on the structural, electrochemical, and biological properties was studied. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirms brushite composition with Cu substitution causing lattice contraction and a reduced crystallite size. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) studies reveal the morphological changes of the coatings with the incorporation of Cu, which is confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and elemental mapping. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy confirm the brushite and Cu doping in the coatings, respectively. Increased surface roughness and mechanical properties of Cu-doped coatings were analyzed by using atomic force microscopic (AFM) and nanohardness tests, respectively. Electrochemical assessments demonstrate corrosion resistance enhancement in Cu-doped coatings, which is further improved with the addition of biosurfactants. In vitro biomineralization studies show the Cu-doped coating's potential for osseointegration, with added stability. The cytocompatibility of the coatings was analyzed using live/dead and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assays; cell adhesion, proliferation, and migration studies were evaluated using SEM. Antibacterial assays highlight significant improvement in the antibacterial properties of Cu-doped coatings with BS. Thus, the developed Cu-doped brushite coatings with BS demonstrate their potential in the realm of biomedical implant technologies, paving the way for further exploration.

Abstract
Calcium phosphates are widely studied in orthopedics and dentistry, to obtain biomimetic and antibacterial implants. However, the multi-substituted composition of mineralized tissues is not fully reproducible from synthetic procedures. Here, for the first time, we investigate the possible use of a natural, fluorapatite-based material, i.e., Lingula anatina seashell, resembling the composition of bone and enamel, as a biomaterial source for orthopedics and dentistry. Indeed, thanks to its unique mineralization process and conditions, L. anatina seashell is among the few natural apatite-based shells, and naturally contains ions having possible antibacterial efficacy, i.e., fluorine and zinc. After characterization, we explore its deposition by ionized jet deposition (IJD), to obtain nanostructured coatings for implantable devices. For the first time, we demonstrate that L. anatina seashells have strong antibacterial properties. Indeed, they significantly inhibit planktonic growth and cell adhesion of both Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli. The two strains show different susceptibility to the mineral and organic parts of the seashells, the first being more susceptible to zinc and fluorine in the mineral part, and the second to the organic (chitin-based) component. Upon deposition by IJD, all films exhibit a nanostructured morphology and sub-micrometric thickness. The multi-doped, complex composition of the target is maintained in the coating, demonstrating the feasibility of deposition of coatings starting from biogenic precursors (seashells). In conclusion, Lingula seashell-based coatings are non-cytotoxic with strong antimicrobial capability, especially against Gram-positive strains, consistently with their higher susceptibility to fluorine and zinc. Importantly, these properties are improved compared to synthetic fluorapatite, showing that the films are promising for antimicrobial applications.

Abstract
To modulate the bioactivity and boost the therapeutic outcome of implantable metallic devices, biodegradable coatings based on polylactide (PLA) and graphene oxide nanosheets (nGOs) loaded with Zinforo™ (Zin) have been proposed in this study as innovative alternatives for the local management of biofilm-associated periprosthetic infections. Using a modified Hummers protocol, high-purity and ultra-thin nGOs have been obtained, as evidenced by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigations. The matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) technique has been successfully employed to obtain the PLA-nGO-Zin coatings. The stoichiometric and uniform transfer was revealed by infrared microscopy (IRM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies. In vitro evaluation, performed on fresh blood samples, has shown the excellent hemocompatibility of PLA-nGO-Zin-coated samples (with a hemolytic index of 1.15%), together with their anti-inflammatory ability. Moreover, the PLA-nGO-Zin coatings significantly inhibited the development of mature bacterial biofilms, inducing important anti-biofilm efficiency in the as-coated samples. The herein-reported results evidence the promising potential of PLA-nGO-Zin coatings to be used for the biocompatible and antimicrobial surface modification of metallic implants.

Abstract
In recent years, the utilization of medical devices has gradually increased and implantation procedures have become common treatments. However, patients are susceptible to the risk of implant infections. This study utilized chemical grafting to immobilize polyethylenimine (QPEI) and hyaluronic acid (HA) on the surface of the mesh to improve biocompatibility while being able to achieve antifouling antimicrobial effects. From the in vitro testing, PP-PDA-Q-HA exhibited a high antibacterial ratio of 93% against S. aureus, 93% against E. coli, and 85% against C. albicans. In addition, after five rounds of antimicrobial testing, the coating continued to exhibit excellent antimicrobial properties; PP-PDA-Q-HA also inhibits the formation of bacterial biofilms. In addition, PP-PDA-Q-HA has good hemocompatibility and cytocompatibility. In vivo studies in animal implantation infection models also demonstrated the excellent antimicrobial properties of PP-PDA-Q-HA. Our study provides a promising strategy for the development of antimicrobial surface medical materials with excellent biocompatibility.

Abstract
Magnesium is a revolutionary biomaterial for orthopedic implants, owing to its eminent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. However, its uncontrolled degradation rate remains a severe challenge for its potential applications. In this study, we developed a self-healing micro arc oxidation (MAO) and dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) double-passivated coating on a magnesium membrane (Mg-MAO/DCPD) and investigated its potential for bone-defect healing. The Mg-MAO/DCPD membrane possessed a feasible self-repairing ability and good cytocompatibility. In vitro degradation experiments showed that the Mg contents on the coating surface were 0.3, 3.8, 4.1, 6.1, and 7.9% when the degradation times were 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks, respectively, exhibiting available corrosion resistance. The slow and sustained release of Mg2+ during the degradation process activated extracellular matrix proteins for bone regeneration, accelerating osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs). The extract solutions of Mg-MAO/DCPD considerably promoted the activation of the Wnt and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways. Furthermore, the evaluation of the rat skull defect model manifested the outstanding bone-healing efficiency of the Mg-MAO/DCPD membrane. Taken together, the Mg-MAO/DCPD membrane demonstrates an optimized degradation rate and excellent bioactivity and is believed to have great application prospects in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Zinc alloys have demonstrated considerable potentials as implant materials for biodegradable vascular and orthopedic applications. However, the high initial release of Zn2+ can trigger intense immune responses that impede tissue healing. To address this challenge and enhance the osteogenic capacity of zinc alloys, the surface of Zn1Mg was subjected to CO2 plasma modification (Zn1Mg-PP) followed by grafting with choline phosphate chitosan (Zn1Mg-PP-PCCs). This study aims to investigate the in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility of the surface-modified Zn1Mg. The effect of the surface modification on the inflammatory response and osteogenic repair process was investigated. Compared with unmodified Zn1Mg, the degradation rate of Zn1Mg-PP-PCCs was significantly decreased, avoiding the cytotoxicity triggered by the release of large amounts of Zn2+. Moreover, PCCs significantly enhanced the cell-material adhesion, promoted the proliferation of osteoblasts (MC3T3-E1) and upregulated the expression of key osteogenic factors in vitro. Notably, the in vivo experiments revealed that the surface modification of Zn1Mg suppressed inhibited the expression of inflammatory cytokines, promoting the secretion of anti-inflammatory factors, thereby reducing inflammation and promoting bone tissue repair. Furthermore, histological analysis of tissue sections exhibited strong integration between the material and the bone, along with well-defined new bone formation and reduced osteoclast aggregation on the surface. This was attributed to the improved immune microenvironment by PCCs, which promoted osteogenic differentiation of osteoblasts. These findings highlight that the preparation of PCCs coatings on zinc alloy surfaces effectively inhibited ion release and modulated the immune environment to promote bone tissue repair. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Surface modification of biodegradable Zn alloys facilitates the suppression of intense immune responses caused by excessive ion release concentrations from implants. We modified the surface of Zn1Mg with choline phosphate chitosan (PCCs) and investigated the effects of surface modification on the inflammatory response and osteogenic repair process. In vitro results showed that the PCCs coating effectively reduced the degradation rate of Zn1Mg to avoid cytotoxicity caused by high Zn2+ concentration, favoring the proliferation of osteoblasts. In addition, in vivo results indicated that Zn1Mg-PP-PCCs attenuated inflammation to promote bone repair by modulating the release of inflammation-related factors. The surface-modified Zn1Mg implants demonstrated strong osseointegration, indicating that the PCCs coating effectively modulated the immune microenvironment and promoted bone healing.

Abstract
Nanocomposite coatings based on polydimethylsiloxane were developed by adding silver phosphate and titania nanoparticles with a PDMS pre-layer for 316L stainless steel. FTIR spectra and XRD patterns confirmed the synthesis of TiO2 and Ag3PO4 nanoparticles and nanocomposite coating. FESM and AFM images show that with the increase of Ag3PO4 nanoparticles, the roughness of coatings increased (Ra and Rq for adding 7 wt% of Ag3PO4 coating was 29 and 293 nm). The wettability results demonstrated that the presence of 7 wt% Ag3PO4 nanoparticles in the coating has the highest water contact angle (152 °). Nano-scratch results proved that creating a pre-layer of PDMS can increase the scratch resistance of PDMS + TiO2+Ag3PO4 nanocomposite coating (displacement and scratch coefficient were 408 nm and 0.07μΝ-1/2 with the pre-layer). Corrosion current density of 316lSS with PDMS + TiO2+Ag3PO4 coating was 0.00045 μA/cm2, while for 316LSS with pure PDMS coating was 0.00114 μA/cm2 at 37 °C in PBS solution. The Nyquist curves showed the diameter of the semicircle for the nanocomposite coating was larger than pure PDMS coating, which indicates the higher corrosion resistance of the nanocomposite coating (5.98 × 107 Ω). By increasing Ag3PO4 nanoparticles from 1 to 7 wt%, the number of E. coli bacteria in contact with the nanocomposite decreased significantly from 580000 to 31000 CFU/cm2. In the disk diffusion test, the largest inhibition zone was related to the nanocomposite coating with the addition of 7 wt% Ag3PO4 (23 mm). Therefore, the PDMS + TiO2+Ag3PO4 nanocomposite coating has improved properties such as superhydrophobicity, advanced mechanical behavior, bio-corrosion resistance, and antibacterial activity.

Abstract
Zirconia implants are gaining attention as a viable alternative to titanium implants due to their comparable osseointegration development, improved soft tissue adaptation, and enhanced aesthetics. An encouraging avenue for improving zirconia implant properties involves the potential application of bioactive coatings to their surfaces. These coatings have shown potential for inducing hydroxyapatite formation, crucial for bone proliferation, and improving implant mechanical properties. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of coating zirconia implants with two bioactive glasses, 45S5 and BioK, on osteogenesis in vitro and osseointegration in vivo. Zirconia samples and implants were prepared using Zpex zirconia powder and blocks, respectively. The samples were divided into three groups: polished zirconia (ZRC), zirconia coated with 45S5 bioglass (Z + 45S5), and zirconia coated with BioK glass (Z + BK). Coatings were applied using a brush and sintered at 1200°C. Chemical analysis of the coatings was carried out using x-ray diffraction and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. Surface topography and roughness were characterized using scanning electron microscopy and a roughness meter. In vitro experiments used mesenchymal cells from Wistar rat femurs, and the coated zirconia implants were found to promote cell viability, protein synthesis, alkaline phosphatase activity, and mineralization, indicating enhanced osteogenesis. In vivo experiments with 18 rats showed positive results for bone formation and osseointegration through histological and histomorphometric analysis and a push-out test. The findings indicate that bioactive glass coatings have the potential to improve cell differentiation, bone formation, and osseointegration in zirconia implants.

Abstract
Treatment implant-associated infections remains a severe challenge in the clinical practice. This work focuses on the fabrication of Cu-containing porous TiO2 coatings on titanium (Ti) by a combination of magnetron sputtering and dealloying techniques. Additionally, photothermal therapy is employed to enhance the effect of Cu ions in preventing bacterial infection. After the dealloying, most of Cu element was removed from the magnetron sputtered Cu-containing films, and porous TiO2 coatings were prepared on Ti. The formation of porous nanostructures significantly enhanced the photothermal conversion performance under NIR-II light irradiation. The combined effect of hyperthermia and Cu ions demonstrated enhanced antibacterial activity in both in vitro and in vivo experiments, and the antibacterial efficiency can reach 99% against Streptococcus mutans. Moreover, the porous TiO2 coatings also exhibited excellent biocompatibility. This modification of the titanium surface structure through dealloying changes may offer a novel approach to enhance the antimicrobial properties of titanium implants.

The coating is fabricated by multi-point anchoring of a phosphorylcholine copolymer (poly-MPC-co-MSA, PMPCC) with carboxylic side chains and end-group grafting of unfractionated heparin (Hep) onto polydopamine precoated blood-contacting material surfaces. The PMPCC coating forms an ultrathin cell outer membrane mimetic layer to resist protein adsorption and platelet adhesion. The tiny defects/pores of the PMPCC layer provide entrances for heparin end-group to be inserted and grafted onto the sub-layer amino groups. The combination of the PMPCC cell membrane mimetic anti-fouling nature with the grafted heparin bioactivity further enhances the anticoagulation performance of the formed endothelium membrane mimetic PMPCC/Hep coating. Compared to conventional Hep coating, the PMPCC/Hep coating further decreases protein adsorption and platelet adhesion by 50 % and 90 %, respectively. More significantly, the PMPCC/Hep coating shows a superior anticoagulation activity, even significantly higher than that of an end-point-attached heparin coating. Furthermore, the blood coagulation function is well preserved in the PMPCC/Hep coating anticoagulation strategy. All the results support that the PMPCC/Hep coating strategy has great potential in developing more efficient and safer blood-contacting medical devices.

Abstract
A critical problem with the use of biomaterial implants is associated with bacterial adhesion on the surface of implants and in turn the biofilm formation. Among different strategies that have been reported to resolve this dilemma, surface design combined with both antiadhesive and antimicrobial properties has proven to be highly effective. Physiochemical properties of polymer brush coatings possess non-adhesive capability against bacterial adhesion and create a niche for further functionalization. The current study aims to evaluate the effect of antibiotics incorporated into the polymer brush on bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation. Brushes made of zwitterionic polymers were synthesized, functionalized with vancomycin via both physical and chemical conjugation, and grafted onto the silicon rubber surfaces. Antibacterial and antiadhesive measurements of designed coated biomaterials were mediated through the use of a parallel plate flow chamber against biofilm growth developed by Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli over a period of 24 h. The analysis of biofilm growth on designed coated biomaterials showed that the pristine coated zwitterionic brushes are significantly resistant to bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation but not in the polymer brush coating incorporated with antibiotics.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bioactive magnesium ions were successfully incorporated into the nanoporous titanium base coating by micro-arc oxidation(MAO), and its physical properties and osteogenic effects were explored. METHODS Non-magnesium-containing and magnesium-containing titanium porous titanium coatings(MAO, MAO-mg) were prepared by changing the composition of MAO electrolyte and controlling the doping of magnesium in porous titanium coatings. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), roughness, contact angle and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). Mg2+ release ability of magnesium-doped nanoporous titanium coatings was determined by inductively coupled plasma/optical emission spectrometer(ICP-OES). The structure of the cytoskeleton was determined by live/dead double staining, CCK-8 detection of material proliferation-toxicity, and staining of β-actin using FITC-phalloidin. The effects of the coating on osteogenic differentiation in vitro were determined by alizarin red (ARS), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). SPSS 25.0 software package was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS The MAO electrolyte with magnesium ions did not change the surface characteristics of the porous titanium coating. Each group prepared by MAO had similar microporous structure(P>0.05). There was no significant difference in surface roughness and contact angle between MAO treatment group (MAO, MAO-mg)(P>0.05), but significantly higher than that of Ti group (P<0.05). With the passage of cell culture time, MAO-mg group promoted cell proliferation (P<0.05). MAO-mg group was significantly higher than other groups in ALP and ARS staining. The expression of Runx2 mRNA (P<0.05), ALP(P<0.05) and osteocalcin OCN(P<0.05) in MAO-mg group was significantly higher than that in Ti and MAO groups. CONCLUSIONS MAO successfully prepared magnesium-containing nanoporous titanium coating, and showed a significant role in promoting osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract
Bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation on surfaces pose a significant risk of microbial contamination and chronic diseases, leading to potential health complications. To mitigate this concern, the implementation of antibacterial coatings becomes paramount in reducing pathogen propagation on contaminated surfaces. To address this requirement, our study focuses on developing cost-effective and sustainable methods using polymer composite coatings. Copper and titanium dioxide nanoparticles were used to assess their active antimicrobial functions. After coating the surface with nanoparticles, four different combinations of two postprocessing treatments were performed. Intense pulsed light was utilized to sinter the coatings further, and plasma etching was applied to manipulate the physical properties of the nanocomposite-coated sheet surface. Bacterial viability was comparatively analyzed at four different time points (0, 30, 60, and 120 min) upon contact with the nanocomposite coatings. The samples with nanoparticle coatings and postprocessing treatments showed an above-average 84.82% mortality rate at 30 min and an average of 89.77% mortality rate at 120 min of contact. In contrast, the control sample, without nanoparticle coatings and postprocessing treatments, showed a 95% microbe viability after 120 min of contact. Through this study, we gained critical insights into effective strategies for preventing the spread of microorganisms on high-touch surfaces, thereby contributing to the advancement of sustainable antimicrobial coatings.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO)-releasing coating is promising to enhance the biocompatibility of medical devices. In this study, polyurethane (PU) and S-nitrosated keratin (KSNO) were dissolved with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and tetrahydrofuran (THF) to prepare a coating solution. This solution is facile to form a porous coating on various substrates based on solvent-evaporation-induced phase separation (SEIPS). The coating could continuously release NO up to 200 h in the presence of ascorbic acid (Asc). In addition, the coating could accelerate endothelialization by promoting the viability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) while inhibiting the proliferation of human umbilical artery smooth muscle cells (HUASMCs). Furthermore, the coating had good antibacterial activity and blood compatibility. Taken together, this universal coating provides wider potential applications in the field of cardiovascular implants.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg)-based orthopedic implant materials can potentially be protected from deterioration using a protective polymer coating. However, this coating is susceptible to excessive corrosion and accidental scratches. Moreover, the inadequate bone integration and infections associated with bone implants present additional challenges that hinder their effective use. In this work, a spin-spray layer-by-layer (SSLbL) assembly technique was employed to develop a smart self-healing coating for Mg alloy WE43. This coating was based on paeonol-encapsulated nanocontainers (PMP) that were modified with a stimuli-responsive polydopamine (PDA). The leached paeonol could form a compact chelating layer when complexed with Mg2+ ions. Dynamic reversible hydrogen bonds were formed between assembly units, which ensured that the hybrid coating possessed rapid and cyclic self-healing properties. Under 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation, the self-healing coating exhibited antibacterial properties due to the synergistic effects of hyperthermia, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and paeonol. In addition, the incorporation of nanoparticles into the hybrid coating led to improvements in the cytocompatibility and osteogenic properties of the implant material. The smart coating enhanced alkaline phosphatase activity, extracellular matrix (ECM) mineralization, and the expression of osteogenic genes. This study presents a promising opportunity to explore the application of a smart self-healing coating for a Mg alloy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Herein, we report a self-healing coating comprised of polyethyleneimine and nanocontainer-crosslinked hyaluronic acid to achieve drug-controlled release, antimicrobial activity, and osteogenesis performance. The formation of hydrogen bonds between HA and PEI facilitated the self-assembly process, thereby improving the coating's corrosion resistance and adhesion strength. The hybrid coating exhibited a rapid and cyclic self-healing activity due to paeonol and dynamic reversible bonds. The release of paeonol was controlled by pH and NIR stimuli owing to polydopamine modification. In vitro testing revealed that the hybrid coating achieved effective bacteria eradication through synergistic effects of hyperthermia, reactive oxygen species, and paeonol. Moreover, the smart coating was found to enhance alkaline phosphatase activity, extracellular matrix mineralization, and the expression of osteogenic genes.

Abstract
As potential degradable biomaterials, magnesium (Mg) alloys have development prospects in the field of orthopedic load-bearing, whereas the clinical application has encountered a bottleneck due to a series of problems caused by its rapid corrosion. In this study, strontium-substituted calcium phosphate (CaP) coatings with different structures were prepared on the surface of the Mg matrix by a simple one-step electrodeposition method at different temperatures, which enhanced the poor corrosion resistance of the Mg matrix. The coated sample prepared at 65 °C reduced the corrosion current density by 3 orders of magnitude and increased the impedance by nearly 2 orders of magnitude compared with bare Mg alloy, thanks to its dense fibrous structure similar to that of natural bones. Although the coating composition varies with different preparation temperatures, CaP, as an inorganic component similar to natural bone, has good cytocompatibility. Doping the right amount of strontium, which is a trace element in human bones, is beneficial to stimulate osteoblast differentiation, inhibit the activity of osteoclasts, and induce the formation of bone tissues. This provides a new option for modifying the Mg alloy with CaP coatings as a base.

Abstract
In this study, gallium- and gelatin-modified strontium-doped hydroxyapatite (SrHA-Gel-Ga) bilayer coatings were prepared on titanium substrates by electrodeposition and spin-coating techniques. The results showed that gallium and gelatin were uniformly doped into the SrHA coatings, which exhibited good hydrophilicity and bioactivity. Furthermore, SrHA-Gel-Ga demonstrated good antimicrobial properties against E. coli and S. aureus, especially S. aureus. The co-doping of Sr and gelatin in the coatings was effective in mitigating the cytotoxicity of Ga. SrHA-Gel-Ga was better able to promote the adhesion, proliferation and early differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. This study provides a new strategy for the development of anti-infective bone repair coatings.

Abstract
Absorbable metals exhibit potential for next-generation temporary medical implants, dissolving safely in the body during tissue healing and regeneration. Their commercial incorporation could substantially diminish the need for additional surgeries and complications that are tied to permanent devices. Despite extensive research on magnesium (Mg) and iron (Fe), achieving the optimal combination of mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and controlled degradation rate for absorbable implants remains a challenge. Zinc (Zn) and Zn-based alloys emerged as an attractive alternative for absorbable implants, due to favorable combination of in vivo biocompatibility and degradation behavior. Moreover, the development of suitable coatings can enhance their biological characteristics and tailor their degradation process. In this work, four different biodegradable coatings (based on zinc phosphate (ZnP), collagen (Col), and Ag-doped bioactive glass nanoparticles (AgBGNs)) were synthesized by chemical conversion, spin-coating, or a combination of both on Zn-3Mg substrates. This study assessed the impact of the coatings on in vitro degradation behavior, cytocompatibility, and antibacterial activity. The ZnP-coated samples demonstrated controlled weight loss and a decreased corrosion rate over time, maintaining a physiological pH. Extracts from the uncoated, ZnP-coated, and Col-AgBGN-coated samples showed higher cell viability with increasing concentration. Bacterial viability was significantly impaired in all coated samples, particularly in the Col-AgBGN coating. This study showcases the potential of a strategic material-coating combination to effectively tackle multiple challenges encountered in current medical implant technologies by modifying the properties of absorbable metals to tailor patient treatments.

Abstract
Phenol-amine coatings have attracted significant attention in recent years owing to their adjustable composition and multifaceted biological functionalities. The current preparation of phenol-amine coatings, however, involves a chemical reaction within the solution or interface, resulting in lengthy preparation times and necessitating specific reaction conditions, such as alkaline environments and oxygen presence. The facile, rapid, and eco-friendly preparation of phenol-amine coatings under mild conditions continues to pose a challenge. In this study, we use a macromolecular phenol-amine, Tanfloc, to form a stable colloid under neutral conditions, which was then rapidly adsorbed on the titanium surface by electrostatic action and then spread and fused to form a continuous coating within several minutes. This nonchemical preparation process was rapid, mild, and free of chemical additives. The in vitro and in vivo results showed that the Tanfloc colloid fusion coating inhibited destructive inflammation, promoted osteogenesis, and enhanced osteointegration. These remarkable advantages of the colloidal phenol-amine fusion coating highlight the suitability of its future application in clinical practice.

Abstract
The development of novel implants subjected to surface modification to achieve high osteointegration properties at simultaneous antimicrobial activity is a highly current problem. This study involved different surface treatments of titanium surface, mainly by electrochemical oxidation to produce a nanotubular oxide layer (TNTs), a subsequent electrochemical reduction of silver nitrate and decoration of a nanotubular surface with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), and finally electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of a composite of chitosan (CS) and either polymethacrylate-based copolymer Eudragit E 100 (EE100) or poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) coating. The effects of each stage of this multi-step modification were examined in terms of morphology, roughness, wettability, corrosion resistance, coating-substrate adhesion, antibacterial properties, and osteoblast cell adhesion and proliferation. The results showed that the titanium surface formed nanotubes (inner diameter of 97 ± 12 nm, length of 342 ± 36 nm) subsequently covered with silver nanoparticles (with a diameter of 88 ± 8 nm). Further, the silver-decorated nanotubes were tightly coated with biopolymer films. Most of the applied modifications increased both the roughness and the surface contact angle of the samples. The deposition of biopolymer coatings resulted in reduced burst release of silver. The coated samples revealed potent antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Total elimination (99.9%) of E. coli was recorded for a sample with CS/P4VP coating. Cytotoxicity results using hFOB 1.19, a human osteoblast cell line, showed that after 3 days the tested modifications did not affect the cellular growth according to the titanium control. The proposed innovative multilayer antibacterial coatings can be successful for titanium implants as effective postoperative anti-inflammation protection.

Abstract
Background The surface properties of dental and orthopedic implants are directly related to their osseointegration rate. Coating and/or modifying the implant surface might reduce the time of healing. In this study, we aimed to examine the effects of a hybrid surface consisting of a brushite surface coating and cross-linked water-soluble eggshell membrane protein on the osseointegration of titanium (Ti) screws under in vivo conditions. Methods Twenty Ti alloy screws were implanted monocortically in anteromedial regions of New Zealand rabbit tibiae. Ten screws were untreated and used as controls. The remaining 10 screws were coated with calcium phosphate and following cross-linked with ostrich eggshell membrane protein. All rabbits were sacrificed six weeks after the surgery. Peri-screw tissues were evaluated by micro-computed tomography (µ-CT), histological and histomorphometrical methods. Results The μ-CT assessments indicated that the experimental group had significantly higher mean bone surface area (BSA) and trabeculae number (TbN) than those of the control group (p ˂ 0.05). Bone surface area (BV), trabecular separation (TbSp), trabecular thickness (TbTh), and bone mineral density (BMD) scores of the control and experimental groups were quite similar (p > 0.05). The vascularization score of the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group (4.29 vs. 0.92%). No sign of the graft-versus-host reaction was observed. Conclusion Our findings reveal that coating Ti alloy implants with calcium phosphate cross-linked with ostrich eggshell membrane protein increases the osseointegration of Ti alloy screws by increasing the bone surface area, number of trabeculae and vascularization in the implant site.

Abstract
Magnesium alloy stents (MAS) have broad application prospects in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. However, poor corrosion resistance and biocompatibility greatly limit the clinical application of MAS. In this work, the coating consisting of MgF2 layer, polydopamine layer, fucoidan and collagen IV was constructed on Mg-Zn-Y-Nd (ZE21B) alloy to improve its corrosion resistance and pro-endothelialization potential. The fucoidan and collagen IV in the coating could obviously enhance the hemocompatibility and pro-endothelialization potential respectively. Compared with bare ZE21B alloy, the fucoidan/collagen composite coating modified ZE21B alloy possessed lower corrosion current density and better corrosion resistance. Moreover, the modified ZE21B alloy exhibited relatively low hemolysis rate, fibrinogen adsorption and platelet adhesion in the blood experiments, suggesting the improved hemocompatibility. Furthermore, the modified ZE21B alloy favorably supported the adhesion and proliferation of vascular endothelial cells (ECs) and effectively regulated the phenotype of smooth muscle cells (SMCs), thus improving the pro-endothelialization potential of vascular stent materials. The fucoidan/collagen composite coating can significantly improve the corrosion resistance and pro-endothelialization potential of ZE21B alloy, showing great potential in the development of degradable MAS.

Abstract
Micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coatings containing 2.86 wt%, 5.83 wt% and 8.81 wt% Zn (Zn-2.86 wt%, Zn-5.83 wt% and Zn-8.81 wt%) were separately fabricated on Ti6Al4V alloys using EDTA-ZnNa2 electrolytes. In vitro antibacterial examination exhibits that the antibacterial rates of Zn-2.86 wt%, Zn-5.83 wt% and Zn-8.81 wt% against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) are 76.0 %, 100.0 % and 99.2 %, respectively. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) level of MAO samples is significantly higher than that of the untreated Ti6Al4V. Zn-containing coatings especially Zn-5.83 wt% induces the strongest oxidative stress on S. aureus due to relatively high released Zn2+ concentration. Moreover, qPCR analysis shows that MAO samples inhibit the icaADBC transcription and result in the down-regulation of PIA production, thereby mitigating biofilm formation. After immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 3, 8 and 14 d, the antibacterial rate of Zn-5.83 wt% is 84.7 %, 63.2 % and 12.5 % respectively, and ROS level of MAO samples is also significantly higher than that of the untreated Ti6Al4V even after 14 d of immersion, suggesting that the antibacterial performance of MAO samples can last a relatively long immersion period and exhibit large application potential in orthopedic clinic.

Abstract
Biodegradable drug-eluting stents (DESs) are gaining importance owing to their attractive features, such as complete drug release to the target site. Magnesium (Mg) alloys are promising materials for future biodegradable DESs. However, there are few explorations using biodegradable Mg for cardiovascular stent application. In this present study, sirolimus-loaded poly D, L-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA)-coated/ sirolimus-fixed/AZ91 Mg alloy-based substrate was developed via a layer-by-layer approach for cardiovascular stent application. The AZ91 Mg alloy was prepared through the squeeze casting technique. The casted AZ91 Mg alloy (Mg) was alkali-treated to provide macroporous networks to hold the sirolimus and PLGA layers. The systematic characterization was investigated via electrochemical, optical, physicochemical, and in-vitro biological characteristics. The presence of the Mg17 Al12 phase in the Mg sample was found in the x-ray diffraction system (XRD) spectrum which influences the corrosion behavior of the developed substrate. The alkali treatment increases the substrate's hydrophilicity which was confirmed through static contact angle measurement. The anti-corrosion characteristic of casted-AZ91 Mg alloy (Mg) was slightly less than the sirolimus-loaded PLGA-coated alkali-treated AZ91 Mg alloy (Mg/Na/S/P) substrate. However, dissolution rates for both substrates were found to be controlled at cell culture conditions. Radiographic densities of AZ91 Mg alloy substrates (Mg, Mg/Na, and Mg/Na/S/P) were measured to be 0.795 ± 0.015, 0.742 ± 0.01, and 0.712 ± 0.017, respectively. The star-shaped structure of 12% sirolimus/PLGA ensures the bioavailability of the drugs. Sirolimus release kinetic was fitted up to 80% with the "Higuchi model" for Mg samples, whereas Mg/Na/S/P showed 45% fitting with a zero-order mechanism. The Mg/Na/S/P substrate showed a 70% antithrombotic effect compared to control. Further, alkali treatment enhances the antibacterial characteristic of AZ91 Mg alloy. Also, the alkali-treated sirolimus-loaded substrates (Mg/Na/S and Mg/Na/S/P) inhibit the valvular interstitial cell's growth significantly in in-vitro. Hence, the results imply that sirolimus-loaded PLGA-coated AZ91 Mg alloy-based substrate can be a potential candidate for cardiovascular stent application.

Abstract
Thanks to their outstanding mechanical properties and corrosion resistance in physiological environments, titanium and its alloys are broadly explored in the field of intravascular devices. However, the biocompatibility is insufficient, causing thrombus formation and even implantation failure. In this study, inspired by the functions of endothelial glycocalyx and the NO-releasing of endothelial cells (ECs), a biomimetic coating (TNTA-Se) with three-dimensional gel-like structures and NO-catalytically generating ability was constructed on the titanium surface. To this end, the titanium alloy was firstly anodized and then annealed to form nanotube structures imitating the three-dimensional villous of glycocalyx, followed by the preparation of the Cu2+-loaded polydopamine intermediate layer for the immobilization of carboxymethyl chitosan and sodium alginate to form the hydrogel structure. Finally, an organoselenium compound (selenocystamine) as an active catalyst was covalently immobilized on the surface to develop a bioactive coating mimicking endothelial function with NO-generating activity. The surface morphologies and chemical structures of the biomimetic coating were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersion X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), and the results indicated that the NO-catalytically generating hydrogel coating was successfully constructed. The results of water contact angle and protein adsorption suggested that the TNTA-Se coating exhibited excellent hydrophilicity, the promotion of bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorption while the inhibition of fibrinogen (FIB) adsorption. Upon the addition of NO donor S-nitroso glutathione (GSNO) and reducing agent glutathione (GSH), the surface (TNTA-NO) displayed excellent blood compatibility and cytocompatibility to ECs. Compared with other surfaces, the TNTA-NO coating can not only further promote BSA adsorption and inhibit the adhesion and activation of platelets as well as hemolysis, but also significantly enhance ECs adhesion and proliferation and up-regulate VEGF and NO expression of ECs. The current study demonstrated that the NO-catalytically generating hydrogel coating on the titanium alloy can mimic the glycocalyx structure and endothelium function to catalyze a large number of NO donors in human blood to produce NO, and thus simultaneously enhance the surface hemocompatibility and endothelialization, representing a promising strategy for long-term cardiovascular implants of titanium-based devices.

Abstract
Implant-associated infection (IAI) is an unsolved problem in orthopaedics. Current therapies, including antibiotics and surgical debridement, can lead severe clinical and financial burdens on patients. Therefore, there is an urgent need to reinforce the inherent antibacterial properties of implants. Recently, two-dimensional (2D) silicene nanosheets (SNs) have gained increasing attention in biomedical fields owing to their considerable biocompatibility, biodegradability and strong photothermal-conversion performance. Herein, a dual-functional photosensitive coating on a Ti substrate (denoted as TPSNs) was rationally fabricated for bacterial inhibition and osteogenesis promotion. For the first time, SNs were loaded onto the surface of implants. Hyperthermia generated by the SNs and polydopamine (PDA) coating under 808 nm laser irradiation achieved the in vitro anti-bacterial efficiency of 90.7 ± 2.4 % for S. aureus and 88.0 ± 5.8 % for E. coli, respectively. In addition, TPSNs exhibited promising biocompatibility for the promotion of BMSC (bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells) proliferation and spreading. The presence of silicon (Si) in TPSNs contributed to the improved osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, elevating the expressions of RUNX2 and OCN. In animal experiments, the combination of TPSNs with photothermal therapy (PTT) achieved an anti-bacterial efficiency of 89.2 % ± 1.6 % against S. aureus. Furthermore, TPSNs significantly improved bone-implant osseointegration in vivo. Overall, the development of a dual-functional TPSNs coating provides a new strategy for combating IAI.

Abstract
Osseointegration is vital to success in orthopedic and dental reconstructions with implanted materials. The bone matrix or cells-particularly osteoblasts-are required to achieve functional contact on the implant surface. Osteoblast induction is therefore essential for osteogenesis to occur. Enhancement of osteoblast adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation, particularly by implant surface modifications, have been found challenging to develop. Secretory Leukocyte Protease Inhibitor (SLPI), a cation ionic protein with anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial activities, showed activation in osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. However, the effects of coating recombinant human (rh) SLPI on a titanium alloy surface on human osteoblast adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation has never been investigated. In this study, titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V) were coated with rhSLPI, while human osteoblast adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, actin cytoskeletal organization, and gene expressions involved in cell adhesion and differentiation were investigated. The results indicate that coating titanium with 10-100 µg/ml rhSLPI enhanced the physical properties of the Ti surface and enhanced human osteoblast (hFOB 1.19) cell adhesion, activated actin dynamic, enhanced adhesive forces, upregulated integrins α1, α2, and α5, enhanced cell proliferation, mineralization, alkaline phosphatase activity, and upregulated ALP, OCN, and Runx2. This is the first study to demonstrate that coating SLPI on titanium surfaces enhances osseointegration and could be a candidate molecule for surface modification in medical implants.

Abstract
Implant-associated severe infections can result in catastrophic implant failures; thus, advanced antibacterial coatings are needed to combat infections. This study focuses on harnessing nature-inspired self-assembly of extracellular matrix (ECM)-like coatings on Ti alloy with a combination of jellyfish-derived collagen (J-COLL) and hyaluronic acid (HA) using our customized automated hybrid layer-by-layer apparatus. To improve the anti-infection efficacy of coatings, we have incorporated a natural antibacterial agent methylglyoxal (MGO, a Manuka honey compound) in optimized multilayer coatings. The obtainment of MGO-loaded multilayer coatings was successfully assessed by profilometry, contact angle, attenuated total reflectance (ATR)-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In vitro degradation confirmed the controlled release activity of MGO with a range of concentrations from 0.90 to 2.38 mM up to 21 days. A bacterial cell culture study using Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) confirmed that the MGO incorporated within layers 7 and 9 had a favorable effect on preventing bacterial growth and colonization on their surfaces. An in vitro cytocompatibility study confirmed that MGO agents included in the layers did not affect or reduce the cellular functionalities of L929 fibroblasts. In addition, MGO-loaded layers with Immortalized Mesenchymal Stem Cells (Y201 TERT-hMSCs) were found to favor the growth and differentiation of Y201 cells and promote calcium nodule formation. Overall, these surface coatings are promising candidates for delivering antimicrobial activity with bone-inducing functions for future bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Rapid endothelialization of cardiovascular materials can enhance the vascular remodeling performance. In this work, we developed a strategy for amyloid-like protein-assembly-mediated interfacial engineering to functionalize a biomimetic nanoparticle coating (BMC). Various groups (e.g., hydroxyl and carboxyl) on the BMC are responsible for chelating Zn2+ ions at the stent interface, similar to the glutathione peroxidase-like enzymes found in vivo. This design could reproduce the release of therapeutic nitric oxide gas (NO) and an aligned microenvironment nearly identical with that of natural vessels. In a rabbit abdominal aorta model, BMC-coated stents promoted vascular healing through rapid endothelialization and the inhibition of intimal hyperplasia in the placement sites at 4, 12, and 24 weeks. Additionally, better anticoagulant activity and immunomodulation in the BMC stents were also confirmed, and vascular healing was mainly dependent on cell signaling through the cyclic guanosine monophosphate-protein kinase G (cGMP-PKG) cascade. Overall, a metal-polypeptide-coated stent was developed on the basis of its detailed molecular mechanism of action in vascular remodeling.

Abstract
Biomaterials and coating techniques unlock major benefits for advanced medical therapies. Here, we explored layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition of silk fibroin (SF) by dip coating to deploy homogeneous films on different materials (titanium, magnesium, and polymers) frequently used for orthopedic and other bone-related implants. Titanium and magnesium specimens underwent preceding plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) to increase hydrophilicity. This was determined as surface properties were visualized by scanning electron microscopy and contact angle measurements as well as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. Finally, biological in vitro evaluations of hemocompatibility, THP-1 cell culture, and TNF-α assays were conducted. A more hydrophilic surface could be achieved using the PEO surface, and the contact angle for magnesium and titanium showed a reduction from 73 to 18° and from 58 to 17°, respectively. Coating with SF proved successful on all three surfaces, and coating thicknesses of up to 5.14 μm (±SD 0.22 μm) were achieved. Using FTIR analysis, it was shown that the insolubility of the material was achieved by post-treatment with water vapor annealing, although the random coil peak (1640-1649 cm-1) and the α-helix peak (at 1650 cm-1) were still evident. SF did not change hemocompatibility, regardless of the substrate, whereas the PEO-coated materials showed improved hemocompatibility. THP-1 cell culture showed that cells adhered excellently to all of the tested material surfaces. Interestingly, SF coatings induced a significantly higher amount of TNF-α for all materials, indicating an inflammatory response, which plays an important role in a variety of physiological processes, including osteogenesis. LbL coatings of SF are shown to be promising candidates to modulate the body's immune response to implants manufactured from titanium, magnesium, and polymers. They may therefore facilitate future applications for bioactive implant coatings. However, further in vivo studies are needed to confirm the proposed effects on osteogenesis in a physiological environment.

Abstract
Introduction Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are widely utilized in endosseous implants. However, their clinical efficacy is marred by complications arising from bacterial infections owing to their inadequate antibacterial properties. Consequently, enhancing the antibacterial attributes of implant surfaces stands as a pivotal objective in the realm of implantable materials research. Methods In this study, we employed sequential anodization and plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) technology to fabricate a silver-embedded sparsely titania nanotube array (SNT) on the near-β titanium alloy Ti-5Zr-3Sn-5Mo-15Nb (TLM) implants. The surface characteristics, antimicrobial properties, biocompatibility, and osteogenic activity of the silver-nanomodified SNT implant (SNT Ag) surface, alongside peri-implant inflammatory responses, were meticulously assessed through a combination of in vitro and in vivo analyses. Results Compared with polished TLM and SNT, the silver-embedded SNT (SNT Ag) surface retained the basic shape of nanotubes and stably released Ag+ at the ppm level for a long time, which demonstrated an effective inhibition and bactericidal activity against Staphylococcus aureus (SA) while maintaining ideal cytocompatibility. Additionally, the subtle modifications in nanotubular topography induced by silver implantation endowed SNT Ag with enhanced osteogenic activity and mitigated inflammatory capsulation in soft tissue peri-implants in a rat model. Conclusion Incorporating a silver-embedded SNT array onto the implant surface demonstrated robust antibacterial properties, impeccable cytocompatibility, exceptional osteogenic activity, and the potential to prevent inflammatory encapsulation around the implant site. The Silver-PIII modification strategy emerges as a highly promising approach for surface applications in endosseous implants and trans-gingival implant abutments.

Abstract
Preventing bacterial infection and promoting osseointegration are essential for the long-term success of titanium (Ti) implants. In this study, we developed a multifunctional nanocoating on Ti mini-implants to simultaneously address these challenges. The nanocoating consists of self-assembled antimicrobial peptides GL13K and silver nanoparticles, referred to as Ag-GL. Our results showed that the Ag-GL coating did not alter the surface morphology of the mini-implants. Ag-GL coated mini-implants demonstrated a two orders of magnitude reduction in colony-forming unit (CFU) values compared to the noncoated eTi group, resulting in minimal inflammation and no apparent bone destruction in a bacterial infection in vivo model. When evaluating osseointegration properties, micro-CT analysis, histomorphometric analysis, and pull-out tests revealed that the Ag-GL coating significantly enhanced osseointegration and promoted new bone formation in vivo.

Abstract
AIM To assess the potential for systemic toxicity when silver nanoparticle-coated mini-implants were implanted in Wistar albino rats conducted as a comparative study in the animal model by assessing the blood biochemistry, liver and kidney function, and histology of the implanted site. MATERIALS AND METHODS The surface of the mini-implant was coated with a green-mediated silver nanoparticle. Uncoated mini-implants were placed in two groups of eight Wistar albino rats, and silver nanoparticle-coated mini-implants were placed in another eight rats. The bone's general conditions, blood biochemistry assessing for ALT, AST, GPT, GOT, and histological sections using H and E stain and Masson's Trichrome stain were examined at 7, 14, and 28-day intervals. RESULTS The creatinine, urea, ALP, and ALT showed no signs of systemic toxicity during the 28-day follow-up period in the Wistar rats both in the test and control groups. The histological evaluation, which was conducted using HE and MTS stain, revealed osteogenesis and adequate healing of the insertion site in the group where coated mini-implant was placed. The bone sample revealed no abnormalities in the control group with uncoated mini-implants. CONCLUSION Green synthesized silver nanoparticle-coated mini-implant does not cause systemic toxicity as indicated by no abnormalities in the levels of creatinine, urea, ALT, ALP, GPT, and GOT. The bone histology indicates that the coated mini-implants placed in animal bone healed with adequate osteogenesis. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Silver nanoparticles have potential for antimicrobial activity. Mini-implants placed as temporary anchorage devices in orthodontics often fail due to inflammation and plaque. Silver nanoparticle-coated mini-implants would reduce the risk of mini-implant failure as it would have antimicrobial potential and eliminate this cause for failure of mini-implants.

Abstract
Titanium (Ti) dental implants face risks of early failure due to bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation. It is thus necessary to endow the implant surface with antibacterial ability. In this study, magnesium oxide (MgO) coatings were prepared on Ti by combining micro-arc oxidation (MAO) and electrophoretic deposition (EPD). The MgO nanoparticles homogeneously deposited on the microporous surface of MAO-treated Ti, yielding increasing coverage with the EPD time increased to 15 to 60 s. After co-culture with Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) for 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h, the coatings produced antibacterial rates of 4-53 %, 27-71 %, and 39-79 %, respectively, in a dose-dependent manner. Overall, EPD for 45 s offered satisfactory comprehensive performance, with an antibacterial rate 79 % at 72 h and a relative cell viability 85 % at 5 d. Electron and fluorescence microscopies revealed that, both the density of adherent bacterial adhesion on the surface and the proportion of viable bacteria decreased with the EPD time. The morphology of cells on the surface of each group was intact and there was no significant difference among the groups. These results show that, the MgO coating deposited on MAO-treated Ti by EPD had reasonably good in vitro antibacterial properties and cytocompatibility.

Abstract
The implantation of medical devices is frequently accompanied by the invasion of bacteria, which may lead to implant failure. Therefore, an intelligent and responsive coating seems particularly essential in hindering implant-associated infections. Herein, a self-defensive antimicrobial coating, accompanied by silk fibroin as a valve, was successfully prepared on the titanium (Ti-Cu@SF) for pH-controlled release of Cu2+. The results showed that the layer could set free massive Cu2+ to strive against E. coli and S. aureus for self-defense when exposed to a slightly acidic condition. By contrary, a little Cu2+ was released in the physiological situation, which could avoid damage to the normal cells and showed excellent in vitro pH-dependent antibiosis. Besides, in vivo experiment confirmed that Ti-Cu@SF could work as an antibacterial material to kill S. aureus keenly and display negligible toxicity in vivo. Consequently, the design provided support for endowing the layer with outstanding biocompatibility and addressing the issue of bacterial infection during the implantation of Ti substrates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Implant-related infections are a challenging complication of orthopedic surgery, primarily due to the formation of bacterial biofilms on the implant surface. An antibacterial coating for titanium implants was developed to provide novel insights into the prevention and treatment of implant-related infections. METHODS Titanium plates were coated with TiO2 nanotubes by anodization, and iodine was doped onto the coating via electrophoretic deposition. The obtained plates were characterized using a range of analytical techniques. Subsequently, Staphylococcus aureus was inoculated onto the surfaces of untreated titanium plates (control group), TiO2-nanocoated titanium plates (TiO2 group), and iodine-doped TiO2-nanocoated titanium plates (I-TiO2 group) to compare their antibacterial properties. RESULTS Twenty-four hour in vitro antimicrobial activity test of the I-TiO2 group against Staphylococcus aureus was superior to those of the other groups, and this difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS This coating technology provides a new theoretical basis for the development of anti-infective implants against Staphylococcus aureus in orthopedics.
