Daily walking or exercise of the bone implant recipients may generate particles due to wear and tear. Reports have mentioned that particles could circulate in the human body and trigger aseptic loosening, inflammation, and other potential complications. The mechanism of these phenomena remains mostly unclear. This study is to investigate the cytotoxicity of titanium (Ti), stainless steel 316 (SS316), and magnesium (Mg) particles due to these materials are the most commonly used biomaterials based on their adequate mechanical properties and excellent biocompatibility. Human osteoblasts (SAOS2 cells) were exposed directly to different concentrations of Ti/SS316/Mg particle during the direct cytotoxicity test. Together with the previous study, we found out that Ti particles showed cytotoxicity to osteoblasts at different dosages and times, while SS316 particles and Mg particles (low dosage) can reduce the cytotoxicity induced by Ti particles and boost cell viability. Mg particles can be toxic to osteoblast at a higher dosage, while SS316 particles are “safer” than Mg particles at higher dosages. Cell viability and cell morphology of SAOS2 cells under different treatments were observed at 2/3/5 days. This study found out that cell viability could be enhanced with certain combinations of Ti/SS316/Mg particles. This can give us certain guideline on how to design and fabricate a hybrid bone implant. However, how to quantify the particles inside the human body in real-time, and the exact interaction among particles, cells, tissues, and even organs require further research.

Background/Purpose: Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and calcium phosphate (Ca-P) cements are widely used for arthroplasty surgery and augmentation of bone defects. However, aseptic implant loosening in absence of wear-induced osteolysis indicates an unfavourable interaction between the cement surface and human osteoblasts. Our underlying hypothesis is that cement surfaces directly modify cell viability, proliferation rate, and cell differentiation. Methods: To test this hypothesis, we examined primary human osteoblasts harvested from six individuals. These cells were pooled and subsequently seeded directly on cement pellets prepared from Palacos® R, Palacos® R+G, and Norian® Drillable cements. After incubation for 24 and 72 h, cell viability, proliferation rate, apoptosis rate, and cell differentiation were analysed. Results: Upon cultivation of human osteoblasts on cement surfaces, we observed a significantly reduced cell viability and DNA content compared to the control. Analysis of the apoptosis rate revealed an increase for cells on Palacos R and Norian Drillable, but a significant decrease on Palacos R+G compared to the control. Regarding osteogenic differentiation, significantly lower values of alkaline phosphatase enzyme activity were identified for all cement surfaces after 24 and 72 h compared to cultivation on tissue culture plastic, serving as control. Conclusions: In summary, these data suggest a limited biocompatibility of both PMMA and Ca-P cements, necessitating further research to reduce unfavourable cell-cement interactions and consequently extend implant survival.

The unique physical properties and strength of carbon nanotube (CNT) lend to its wide application in many fields as diverse engineering, physics and biomedicine. Biomedicine, the toxicity of CNTs was cause for concern on the application as a delivery tool for therapeutic proteins, peptides and genes in the treatment of cancer and neurodegeneration. CNTs were reported to exert adverse effects on normal neuronal function, probably due accumulation in the brain, leading to brain damage. Thus, toxicity tests of CNTs on cells would be relevant in determining potential side effects and dosage. This study was set out to evaluate the toxicity of SWCNTs derived from fermented tapioca on SH-SY5Y cells. Fermented tapioca, was a well known Malaysian local food, and was an excellent precursor for SWCNT synthesis. The raw synthesized SWCNTs were directly used to study the effect on SH-SY5Y cells. Cytotoxicity and neurotoxicity test were performed. The neurotoxicity test results showed higher cell viability compared to the cytotoxicity test. Cell viability for neurotoxicity test was above 50 % for CNT concentration ranges of 250 μg/ml and below. However cell viability decreased markedly at 500 μg/ml. The percentage of cell viability was high at 50 μg/ml and below for the first 24 h of treatment but longer treatment duration resulted in significant decrease in cell viability for all concentrations above 10 μg/ml. These findings demonstrated that CNTs were safe when used at concentration less than 10 μg/ml.

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) made of capiz shell has been successfully coated onto stainless steel 316L substrate using electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method. In this study, three variations were applied, they were the voltages of 25 V and 50 V, the withdrawal speeds of 0.1 mm/s, 0.5 mm/s, and 1 mm/s, and the sintering temperatures of 750, 850, and 950 °C. These variations were applied to determine the differences in morphology and crystal structure of the layers so that the most suitable result was obtained as a candidate for the bone implant. Characterization was done by Scanning Electron Microscope and X-Ray Diffractometer. The EPD process and the application of sintering temperature eliminated the phase of B type apatite carbonate which made the purity of the HAp layer higher. The SEM results show that the layer was more homogeneous and free of cracking at a voltage of 50 V and the withdrawal speed of 0.1 mm/s. The layer density was higher as the voltage and sintering temperature increased. Higher sintering temperature also made the layer more homogeneous, but at 950 °C, stainless steel 316L substrate underwent a phase transformation which caused the decreasing of the purity of the HAp layer. The best results were obtained by applying a50 V voltage, a withdrawal speed of 0.1 mm/s, and a sintering temperature of 850 °C.

Apart from being a promising optoelectronic devices such as photodetector and sensors, ZnO has many dental and biomedical applications. ZnO has been known to possess strong toxicity towards bacteria, cancer and fungi. Cytotoxicity test of pharmaceutical grade of ZnO on L929 mouse fibroblast cell lines was carried out using trypan blue assay. ZnO was characterized for its morphology, structure and optical properties using FESEM, EDS, UV-Vis and XRD. ZnO exhibited various morphologies like rod, platelet, slab and irregular-shaped particles. EDS data showed the ZnO powder possessed relatively higher oxygen atomic percentage if compared to zinc atoms with an oxygen-to-zinc ratio of 1.219. The average crystallite size obtained was about 39 nm. The percentage of cell viability on L929 cell was decreased with increasing ZnO concentrations. The cells viability after 72h were achieved and the concentration of ZnO below 1 mM was summarized as non-toxic after treated with ZnO. The higher surficial oxygen on ZnO particle surface could have promoted higher generation of reactive oxygen species that caused lower L929 cell viability.

Synthesis of porous hydroxyapatite-collagen composites for bone implant applications has been carried out. Hydroxyapatite synthesized from coral by the precipitation method, while Collagen synthesized from chicken claws. Collagen formation was carried out by freeze-dry technique with variations in freezing time of 2, 4 and 6 hours at -80 ° C. The next process was by drying in a lyophilizer. Characterization of samples was carried out using Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), compressive strength test and cytotoxicity test with Microtetrazolium (MTT) assay. FTIR results proved that collagen uptake and hydroxyapatite combine chemically. This is indicated by the absorption of functional groups that did not coincide between collagen and hydroxyapatite functional groups with composites. SEM observations showed that the largest pore size was obtained at freezing for 2 hours which was 774 μm and the smallest in freezing for 6 hours was 640 μm. This pore size was an important parameter of the bone implant because it played a role in the osteoinductive process. The composite compressive strength test results for freezing 2 hours, 4 hours and 6 hours respectively was 737 KPa, 842 KPa and 707.7 KPa. The results of the cytotoxicity test with MTT showed the percentage of cell viability above 100%. This means that the Hydroxyapatite-collagen composite is non-toxic. So, the sample formed has qualified as a bone implant candidate.

Background: Polyalthia longifolia which originates from India is rich with various useful phytochemicals which are valuable for human health. Accordingly, the current study was conducted to evaluate the combinational antimicrobial activity of P. longifolia Ethyl Acetate Fraction (PLEAF) with ampicillin, antioxidant and cytotoxicity activities. Methods: The evaluation of the synergistic activity of PLEAF fraction and ampicillin against MRSA local isolate was conducted with various antimicrobial assays. Results: The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values of PLEAF fraction (62.5 μg/mL) and ampicillin (5000 μg/mL) were found to decrease to 15.63 μg/mL for PLEAF and 2500 μg/mL for ampicillin respectively in the Fractional Inhibitory Concentration (FIC) assay against the MRSA bacteria. The 2,2-diphenyl1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and nitric oxide free radical scavenging activities showed that PLEAF fraction possessed high antioxidant activity and the combinational of PLEAF fraction and ampicillin exhibited moderate antioxidant activity. The total phenolic content (TPC) of PLEAF was 168.22 ± 0.00407 μg GAE/g of PLEAF fraction. Discussion: henolic compounds might be responsible for the observed antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of PLEAF fraction. In addition, in 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) cytotoxicity test against Vero cells the PLEAF fraction was proven to be non-toxic (98.14% of cell viability) and the combination of PLEAF fraction and ampicillin treatment against the Vero cells showed an improved cell viability (52.44%) as compared with ampicillin alone in the treated group. Conclusions: The PLEAF fraction works well in combination with ampicillin to kill the MRSA local resistance strain. PLEAF fraction also showed favourable antioxidant activity and improved Vero cell viability in the presence of ampicillin which is an important attribute of PLEAF fraction to be used in the future combinational therapy.

AbstractImplantomics is the science of the implantome. The implantome is a blend of the two terms implant and proteome. The proteome is defined as the protein complement of the genome. The term proteome also implies the mass screening of proteins for the determination of all proteins - and indirectly of all genes - involved in a certain tissue or organ response. In this sense the term proteome is employed here in a new way to specify the totality of proteins associated with a foreign body inserted into the human body. It will be addressed, why the determination of the implanttome is important and which role the implantome may play in the bone-implant interface.
