In this study, a novel titania-supported spherical porous hydroxyapatite (sHAp + TiO2) was prepared by compounding minute, uniquely shaped spherical porous hydroxyapatites (sHAp) with TiO2. Adsorption of the representative protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) was evaluated and simulated body fluid immersion experiments were carried out. Minimal adsorption of BSA to TiO2 was observed, and 33% and 25% adsorption to sHAp + TiO2 and sHAp were observed, respectively. The reduction in BSA concentration observed in the sHAp and sHAp + TiO2 solutions is presumably due to adsorption to HAp. It is highly likely that adsorption of the acidic protein BSA occurred at the sHAp Ca2+ site. In the simulated body fluid immersion experiments, there was greater expression of hydroxyapatite (HAp) on the surface of sHAp than there was on the surface of sHAp + TiO2. In the case of TiO2 alone, no HAp was produced, even after immersion for 3 days. These results suggest a relationship between BSA adsorption and the osteoconductivity of materials.

In this study, the equilibrium and the kinetics of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) adsorption onto metal oxides such as alumina (Al2O3) and zirconia (ZrO2) were investigated in a batch reactor. The effects of pH and temperature to adsorption rate and the equilibrium were studied. The equilibrium process was described by the Langmuir or the Freundlich isotherm models. The maximum adsorption capacity (Q0) was found as 81.6 mg/g at pH 5 and 20°C for Al2O3 and 26 mg/g at pH 4 and 40°C for ZrO2, respectively. The protein adsorption capacity for ZrO2 increased with increasing pH and temperature, while the protein adsorption capacity of Al2O3 increased with increasing pH and decreasing temperature. The pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models were used to describe the kinetic data. The rate kinetics of BSA adsorption onto Al2O3 and ZrO2 at all pH and temperatures were best fitted with the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The electrostatic interactions of BSA with the metal oxide surface were found to be higher at pH 5 for Al2O3 and pH 4 for ZrO2.

We investigated the influence of THz laser radiation of frequencies of 1.15 THz and 3.68 THz and radiation power of about 10 Mw on protein (bovine serum albumin). Using UV spectrophotometry, we revealed increase in the optical density of irradiated samples of bovine serum albumin at the characteristic absorption bands, which is evidence of conformation changes in protein molecules

Titanium-based materials are widely used for implant treatments such as artificial dental roots. Surface treatment has the potential to improve not only the biocompatibility but also the chemical and mechanical durability of the surface without changing the mechanical properties of the metal. A relatively thick titanium oxide film can be formed by the anodic oxidation method. Phosphoric acid or sulfuric acid electrolytic solution has previously been used for anodic oxidation. Such anodized films have excellent film hardness, abrasion resistance, and adhesion. In this study, titanium plate was anodized using an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid in which titanium oxide powder was suspended. A 2800-nm-thick titanium oxide film was formed, which was thicker than that obtained using phosphoric acid electrolyte. The titanium plate was immersed in simulated body fluid for 1 day to evaluate the photocatalytic activity and protein adsorption ability, and a homogeneous crack-free hydroxyapatite layer was formed. This titanium plate showed high methylene blue bleaching capacity. The adsorption ability of the acidic protein of the anodized titanium plate subjected to the above treatment was high. This suggests that this titanium plate has antimicrobial properties and protein adsorption ability. Thus, we report that a titanium plate, anodized with a sulfuric acid aqueous electrolyte solution containing suspended TiO2 powder and immersed in simulated body fluid, might behave as an antibacterial and highly biocompatible implant material.
