ABSTRACT

Bone substitutes are widely used in maxillofacial and oral surgeries. However, in clinical practice, bone substitutes with various forms, including separated particulates, powders, and blocks, have exhibited poor handling properties and space maintenance characteristics, resulting in long surgery procedures and unstable volume of the newly formed bone. Movable separated particulates with high stiffness have induced local inflammatory responses that hinder bone regeneration. The present study aimed to develop a new method to enhance the stability and operability of bone substitutes commonly used in dentistry by premixing with photocurable hydrogel GelMA. The GelMA-encapsulated particulate had a strong capacity to aggregate separated particulates and firmly attach to the host bone defect after photocuring compared to particulates alone. Additionally, macrophages at the surface of the GelMA-stabilized particulates tended to present a more M2-like phenotype than those at the surface of Bio-Oss®, leading to more MMR+ multinucleated giant cell formation and the induction of blood vessel invasion and new bone formation. In conclusion, this hydrogel-coated bone substitute strategy facilitates bone regeneration with increased operability, a stable volume of osteogenic space, and a favorable osteogenic microenvironment, indicating its potential value in the field of maxillofacial and oral surgeries when bone substitutes are needed.

ABSTRACT

Oral diseases represent one of the most prevalent diseases globally and are associated with serious health and economic burdens, greatly altering the quality of life of affected individuals. Various biomaterials play important roles in the treatment of oral diseases. To some extent, the development of biomaterials has promoted progress in clinically available oral medicines. Hydrogels have unique tunable advantages that make them useful in the next generation of regenerative strategies and have been widely applied in both oral soft and hard tissues repair. However, most hydrogels lack self-adhesive properties, which may result in low repair efficacy. Polydopamine (PDA), the primary adhesive component, has attracted increasing attention in recent years. PDA-modified hydrogels exhibit reliable and suitable adherence to tissues and easily integrate into tissues to promote repair efficiency. This paper reviews the latest research progress on PDA hydrogels and elaborates on the mechanism of the reaction between PDA functional groups and hydrogels, and summarizes the biological properties and the applications of PDA hydrogels in the prevention and treatment of the field of oral diseases. It is also proposed that in future research we should simulate the complex microenvironment of the oral cavity as much as possible, coordinate and plan various biological events rationally, and realize the translation from scientific research to clinical practice.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the correlation between serum and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of inflammatory cytokines and the association with periodontal parameters in patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) and healthy control. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients who were undergoing MHD were enrolled as the MHD group. Healthy individuals who underwent oral examination were selected as the control group after matching for the MHD group. All participants underwent a full-mouth periodontal evaluation, and the levels of eight inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1ß, IL-17, IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8), and C-reactive protein (CRP), in the GCF and serum were measured. RESULTS: A total of 63 MHD patients and 75 healthy persons were included. The prevalence of moderate/severe periodontitis was significantly higher in the MHD group than in the control group (88.9 vs. 66.7%, P < 0.05). The GCF levels of CRP, TNF-α, MCP-1, and MMP-8 were higher in patients in the MHD group with moderate/severe periodontitis than in the control group (P < 0.05). Serum CRP, MCP-1, TNF-α, and MMP-8 levels were positively correlated with the GCF CRP levels (P < 0.05). The GCF and serum CRP levels were positively correlated with the periodontal clinical parameters (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Serum CRP, MCP-1, TNF-α, and MMP-8 may relate with the GCF CRP levels. The GCF and serum CRP levels correlated positively with the periodontal clinical parameters, including the VPI, PPD, and CAL, indicating that CRP may play an important role between periodontitis and ESRD. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The present study indicated that GCF and serum CRP levels correlated positively with the periodontal clinical parameters, and the CRP levels may be selected as an indicator to evaluate the severity of inflammation and the effectiveness, prognosis of periodontal treatment in ESRD patients.

ABSTRACT

The present study was conducted to evaluate the anti-hyperlipidemia ability of the dietary fiber extracted from okara in mice fed a high cholesterol diet. The dietary fiber was extracted from okara by combining fermentation with dynamic high-pressure microfluidization. An animal model was established to test the hypothesis that soluble dietary fiber, insoluble dietary fiber and total dietary fiber inhibit the fatty liver could be related to the total lipids and cholesterol including total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the serum. Compared with mice fed with simvastatin, mice fed dietary fiber can significantly reduce their serum total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride, and atherogenic index whereas no significant effect on high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was observed. Dietary fiber lowered a high level of liver total cholesterol and triglyceride. The dietary fiber extracted from okara might play an important role in the prevention of hyperlipidemia in high cholesterol mice and could be used as a natural supplement to a high cholesterol diet of functional food, due to the suppression of liver lipid synthesis.

ABSTRACT

In this study, fish gelatin and chitosan were used as the film-forming substrate, and different concentrations of TiO2-Ag were added to prepare composite films. The physicochemical characteristics and microstructure of the films were studied. The results showed that the addition of TiO2-Ag significantly increased the water solubility of the film. When the TiO2-Ag concentration was increased to 0.5%, the film had the best antibacterial ability and the lowest light transmittance (54.6%), but the tensile strength of the film was the lowest, decreased from 17.39 MPa to 9.014 MPa. The water vapor permeability of film first decreased and then increased, and the minimum value was 2.63 × 10-12 g·cm/cm2·s·Pa when the concentration of TiO2-Ag was 0.4%. XRD, XPS, and ATR-FTIR results showed that the presence of TiO2-Ag crystals in the film could enhance the interaction between the components, and FE-SEM results showed that the film had a very smooth and uniform surface. In general, FG/Ch/TiO2-Ag composite film is expected to be used in the food packaging industry.

ABSTRACT

Biomaterial-associated infection and lack of sufficient osseointegration contribute to a large proportion of implant failures. Therefore, antibacterial and osseointegration-accelerating properties are important in implant surface design. In this study, a micro/nanoporous titanium surface was prepared through alkaline and heat treatments, covalently conjugated with aminosilane. Then, varying amounts of chlorhexidine (CHX) were covalently grafted onto the aminosilane-modified surface via glutaraldehyde to obtain different CHX-grafted surfaces. These as-prepared surfaces were evaluated in terms of their surface chemical composition, surface topography, CHX grafting amount, antibacterial activity, and osteoblast compatibility. The results showed that the CHX grafting amount increased with increasing CHX concentrations, leading to better antibacterial activity. CHX (1 mg/mL) resulted in the best antibacterial surface, which still retained good osteoblast compatibility. Meanwhile, competitive bacterial-cell adhesion analysis demonstrated that this surface has great value for osteoblast adhesion at the implant-bone interface even in the presence of bacteria. This effortless, easily performed, and eco-friendly technique holds huge promise for clinical applications.

ABSTRACT

The starch/polyvinyl alcohol/graphene oxide composite film was prepared by casting method by adding GO to starch/PVA matrix. The effects of GO with different concentrations on the performance of the composite film were studied. With the increase of GO concentration, the thickness increased, the tensile strength increased first and then decreased. When the concentration of GO reached 2 mg/ml, the tensile strength was 25.28 MPa reaching the maximum. The increase of GO concentration caused the enhancement of film's moisture resistance. Through FTIR, SEM and TGA analysis, it was found that the addition of GO did not change the composition of the film, but it could change the phenomenon of matrix agglomeration and improve the thermal stability of the film. The preparation of composite films by adding GO could improve the properties, expand the application of nanomaterials in the food packaging field, and expand the research of biodegradable composite films.

ABSTRACT

In acidic conditions, mesoporous molecular sieves SBA-15 and SBA-15-SH were synthesized. Structural characterization was carried out by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), 13C CP MAS-NMR, 29Si CP MAS-NMR and nitrogen adsorption⁻desorption (BET). The results showed that in SBA-15-SH, the direct synthesis method made the absorption peak intensity weaker than that of SBA-15, while the post-grafted peak intensity did not change. Their spectra were different due to the C-H stretching bands of Si-O-Si and propyl groups. But their structure was still evenly distributed and was still hexangular mesoporous structure. Their pore size increased, and the H-SBA-15-SH had larger pore size. The adsorption of ammonia-nitrogen by molecular sieve was affected by the relative pressure and the concentration of ammonia-nitrogen, in which the adsorption capacity of G-SBA-15-SH was the largest and the adsorption capacity of SBA-15 was the smallest.
