Some biomaterials can be used to promote tissue repair process. The biological substitutes (biomaterials such as hydroxyapatite beads) can be used with some advantages and purpose of mimicking responses to on-site repair of the injured bone. The objective of this study was to evaluate the osteogenic potential of the biomaterial composed of hydroxyapatite and alginate in place of the critical defect. bioceramic samples stoichiometric hydroxyapatite was produced by the precipitation method, wet method with ion molar ratio of Ca 10 (PO 4) 6 (OH) 2, in which the Ca / P ratio was equal to 1.67. The reaction conditions were favorable to the composition of a biomaterial with crystalline phase. The synthesis of the biomaterial composed of hydroxyapatite and alginate microspheres (HAAlg5%; 200 ø 425mm) was obtained from two primary solutions with the aim of, in optimal reactive conditions, to form the precipitate. After synthesis the microspheres were implanted into the defect site. The potential effects of using HAAlg5% and the application of vibratory waves in the critical defect repair were unknown and the results described in this study are promising, considering the systemic therapy and at the site of injury. The biomaterial used promoted repair the injured tissue.

Hydroxyapatite (HAp, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) is the most stable form of calcium phosphate and widely used in various medical applications, mainly in orthopedics and dentistry due to its close similarities with the inorganic mineral component of bone and teeth. This study aims to synthesize hydroxyapatite from duck eggshell using the precipitation method. The duck eggshell was calcined, hydrated (slaking) and underwent carbonation to form Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC).  Afterwards, (NH4)2HPO4 was added to produce HAp by varying the molar ratio of Ca/P by 1.67, 1.77 and 1.87 and stirring speed by 200, 250, 300rpm under basic condition (pH 10 – 11). The best results were obtained at a molar ratio of 1.77 with 200rpm stirring speed. Furthermore, the X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that its crystals were hexagonal with sizes of 23.062nm, in the absence of other crystalline phases. Therefore, the hydroxyapatite was obtained in the agglomerates form with a specific surface area of ??55.929m2/g.


Critical sized bone defect is a major challenge for orthopedic surgeons. These defects result following any pathologic condition leading to massive bone loss. Synthetic and biological based tissue engineered biomaterials and their combinations provide a promising substitute to fill the defect site. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the osteogenic potential of 3-D printed multilayered medical grade PLLA scaffold with collagen and nano hydroxyapatite for the healing of induced critical-sized bone defect in dogs. An experimental study was conducted on 12 skeletally mature male dogs. Critical defect (25mm) was induced into the right femur of all dogs. Dogs were randomly allocated into one of the following groups (4 dogs/group). PLLA scaffold seeded with nano hydroxyapatite and collagen molded on the defect (PLLA/Collagen/nHA group), the second group; the defect seeded with collagen and nano hydroxyapatite (Collagen/nHA group), the third one was left without scaffold or additives (Sham operated group), and the operated animals were left for 12 weeks. Animals were evaluated clinically, radiographically and histopathologicaly. In (PLLA/Collagen/nHA group), all dogs showed an improvement in lameness degree from sever to apparently free from lameness. Radiography showed newly formed bone filling the defect with no inter zone. Histopathology showed more maturation of the newly formed bone in the defect site had occurred as well as defined bone trabeculae in comparing to other groups. In conclusion, 3D printed multilayered medical grade PLLA with collagen and nano hydroxyapatite provide biodegradable osteoconductive scaffold for enhancing the healing of critical sized bone defect.

Essential oils (EOs) are used in several pest management applications. Due to their volatility, EOs may experience bioactivity reduction, thus requiring protection to extend their properties. In the present study, we investigated the inclusion complex formation (IC) of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) with selected EOs with known tick repellent activity using two co-precipitation methods. ICs were characterized by evaluating EO mass concentration and inclusion efficiency (% IE) and other instrumental methods. Co-precipitation method 2 yielded the highest EO mass concentration (88 ± 6 μg/mg β-CD) for the 1:1 molar ratio geranium Egyptian EO IC. The EO volatile release over time from the ICs was investigated by headspace SPME/GC-MS analysis. ICs were also tested in tick repellency bioassays. ICs reported significant tick repellent activity, with lemongrass IC performing best overall. Method 1 showed the best combination of high mass concentration EO, controlled volatile release, and tick repellency with lemongrass EO. The results demonstrated that β-CD had selectively encapsulated different EOs. Moreover, the formation of ICs may improve EO tick repellent properties protecting the active ingredients and providing a better, long-lasting repellent action. These findings will allow the development of more effective naturally derived repellent products to protect individuals from tick bites and prevent tick-borne illnesses.

Cerium oxide is an important material having been applied to a variety of commercial fields. Many methods such as precipitation, hydrothermal route and sol-gel techniques have been used to produce the nanocrystalline ceria. This study, based on the precipitation method, used ceric nitrate as cerium source, anionic surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulphate) as template, and urea as the precipitating agent to synthesize ceria. The effects of several factors, such as the molar ratio of reactants and reaction temperature on the morphology and crystal structure of ceria were investigated, which were determined by XRD and SEM methods. According to the results, 70°C is best experimental conditions and preferable molar ratio of chemicals mentioned above is 1:2:30 for single factor experiment.

In recent years, tissue engineering has evolved considerably, due to the problems in the biomedical area concerning tissue regeneration therapies. Currently, work has been focused on the synthesis and physicochemical characterization of poly lactic acid scaffolds, a synthetic polyester that has been extensively study for its excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. Moreover, sterilization strategies of scaffold are a crucial step for its application in tissue regeneration, however, the sterilization process have to maintain the structural and biochemical properties of the scaffold. Therefore, it is very important to carry out studies on the sterilization methods of the sample’s material, since translational medicine is intended for in vivo applications. The aim of the present study was designed to analyze the effects of different sterilization techniques, i.e. ethylene oxide (ETO), gamma radiation (GR) and hydrogen peroxide-based plasma (H2O2) in biodegradable PLA scaffolds, and to determine the best sterilization technique to render a sterile product with minimal degradation and deformation, and good tissue response. Analysis of surface morphology showed that ETO and GR modified the PLA scaffolds without any change in its chemical composition. Moreover, the histological response showed that the scaffolds are biocompatible and those sterilized by GR showed a more severe inflammatory response, accompanied with the presence of giant foreign body cells. In conclusion, the results show that among sterilization techniques used in the preset study, the best results were observed with H2O2 sterilization, since it did not significantly modify the surface structure of the PLA fibers and their in vivo response did not cause an unfavorable tissue reaction.

A series of arsenate substituted chlorapatite was directly prepared through aqueous precipitation method. Characterization studies from elemental analysis, XRD, FT-IR spectra and SEM confirmed the forming of the arsenate/phosphate chlorapatite solid solutions. The XRD analysis indicated the typical solid solution phase of the apatite-type structure. In FT-IR spectra, the area of the phosphate peak was gradually suppressed and the arsenate peak increased as the proportion of the arsenate increased. The solids with As/(As+P) molar ratio of 0.49~1.0 were needle-like crystals; those with As/(As+P) molar ratio <0.19 were large tabular.
