Oligomeric Silsesquioxane

Background: Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) is a monomer with silicon structure and an internal nanometric cage. Objective: The purpose of this study was to provide an injectable hydrogel that could be easily located in open or closed bone fractures and injuries, and also to reduce the possible risks of infections caused by bone graft either as an allograft or an autograft. Methods: Various formulations of temperature sensitive hydrogels containing hydroxyapatite, Gelrite, POSS and platelets rich plasma (PRP), such as the co-gelling agent and cell growth enhancer, were prepared. The hydrogels were characterized for their injectability, gelation time, phase transition temperature and viscosity. Other physical properties of the optimized formulation including compressive stress, compressive strain and Young’s modulus as mechanical properties, as well as storage and loss modulus, swelling ratio, biodegradation behavior and cell toxicity as rheometrical parameters were studied on human osteoblast MG-63 cells. Alizarin red tests were conducted to study the qualitative and quantitative osteogenic capability of the designed scaffold, and the cell adhesion to the scaffold was visualized by scanning electron microscopy. Results: The results demonstrated that the hydrogel scaffold mechanical force and injectability were 3.34±0.44 Mpa and 12.57 N, respectively. Moreover, the scaffold showed higher calcium granules production in alizarin red staining compared to the control group. The proliferation of the cells in G4.5H1P0.03PRP10 formulation was significantly higher than in other formulations (p<0.05). Conclusion: The optimized Gelrite/Hydroxyapatite/POSS/PRP hydrogel scaffold has useful impacts on osteoblasts activity, and may be beneficial for local drug delivery in complications including a break or bone loss.

Abstract Background The goal of the present study was to create a new biodegradable hybrid PCL-P (HEMA-NIPAAm) thermosensitive hydrogel scaffold by grafting PNIPAAm-based copolymers with biodegradable polyesters to promote the chondrogenic differentiation of human progenitor cells (adipose-derived stem cells-hASCs) in the presence of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB). Different mixture ratios including 50 mmol ε-caprolactone and 10 mmol HEMA (S-1), 30 mmol ε-caprolactone and 10 mmol HEMA (S-2), 10 mmol ε-caprolactone and 30 mmol HEMA (S-3) were copolymerized followed by the addition of NIPAAm. Results A mild to moderate swelling and wettability rates were found in S-2 group copmpared to the S-1 ans S-3 samples. After 7 weeks, S-2 degradation rate reached ~ 43.78%. According to the LCST values, S-2, reaching 37 °C, was selected for different in vitro assays. SEM imaging showed nanoparticulate structure of the scaffold with particle size dimensions of about 62–85 nm. Compressive strength, Young’s modulus, and compressive strain (%) of S-2 were 44.8 MPa, 0.7 MPa, and 75.5%. An evaluation of total proteins showed that the scaffold had the potential to gradually release PDGF-BB. When hASCs were cultured on PCL-P (HEMA-NIPAAm) in the presence of PDGF-BB, the cells effectively attached and flattened on the scaffold surface for a period of at least 14 days, the longest time point evaluated, with increased cell viability rates as measured by performing an MTT assay (p < 0.05). Finally, a real-time RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that the combination of PCL-P (HEMA-NIPAAm) and PDGF-BB promoted the chondrogenesis of hASCs over a period of 14 days by up-regulating the expression of aggrecan, type-II collagen, SOX9, and integrin β1 compared with the non-treated control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion These results demonstrate that the PCL-P(HEMA-NIPAAm) hydrogel scaffold carrying PDGF-BB as a matrix for hASC cell seeding is a valuable system that may be used in the future as a three-dimensional construct for implantation in cartilage injuries.

Abstract In this work, octamercapto polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS-8SH) and octaphenol polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS-8Phenol) were successfully synthetized. POSS-8Phenol was added into the synthesis process of liquid thermoset phenolic resin (PR) to obtain POSS-modified phenolic resin (POSS-PR). Chemical structures of POSS-8SH, POSS-8Phenol, and POSS-PR were confirmed by FTIR and 1H-NMR. TG and DTG analysis under different atmosphere showed that char yield of POSS-PR at 1,000°C increased from 58.6% to 65.2% in N2, which in air increased from 2.3% to 26.9% at 700°C. The maximum pyrolysis temperature in air increased from 543°C to 680°C, which meant better anti-oxidation properties. XRD results confirmed both POSS-8Phenol and POSS-PR-generated crystalline SiO2 in air, which could explain the improvement of anti-oxidation properties. SEM showed that the POSS-PR had phase separation during curing process. Finally, carbon fiber fabric-reinforced POSS-PR (C-POSS-PR) was prepared to verify the anti-oxidation properties of POSS-PR.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and microbiological effects of subgingival instrumentation (SI) alone or combined with either local drug delivery (LDD) or photodynamic therapy (PDT) in persistent/recurrent pockets in patients enrolled in supportive periodontal therapy (SPT). A total of 105 patients enrolled in SPT were randomly treated as follows: group A (n = 35): SI +PDT and 7 days later 2nd PDT; group B (n = 35): SI+LDD; group C (n = 35): SI (control). Prior intervention, at 3 and 6 months after therapy, probing pocket depths, clinical attachment level, number of treated sites with bleeding on probing (n BOP), full mouth plaque and bleeding scores (gingival bleeding index, %BOP) were recorded. At the same time points, 8 periodontopathogens were quantitatively determined. All three treatments resulted in statistically significant improvements (p < 0.05) of all clinical parameters without statistically significant intergroup differences (p > 0.05). Several bacterial species were reduced in both test groups, with statistically significantly higher reductions for LDD compared to PDT and the control group. In conclusion, the present data indicate that: (a) In periodontal patients enrolled in SPT, treatment of persistent/recurrent pockets with SI alone or combined with either PDT or LDD may lead to comparable clinical improvements and (b) the adjunctive use of LDD appears to provide better microbiological improvements for some periodontal pathogens than SI alone or combined with PDT.
