One of the most attractive β-Ti alloys is Ti–35Nb–7Zr–5Ta wt% (TNZT) alloy, which has one of the minimal Young’s moduli among the β-Ti family (about 55 GPa) and contains no cytotoxic elements. On the other hand, β-type Ti alloys are susceptible to bacterial infection because they lack an antibacterial function and can get contaminated quickly after implantation, making surface modification a keyway to improve these alloys' antibacterial properties. A recently created technique called powder mixed-EDM can improve machining, mechanical, and biological properties at the same time. In this research, silver was added to the dielectric fluid during PM-EDM of Ti-35Nb-7Zr-5Ta wt% alloy prepared by powder metallurgy route. The surface composition, Brinell hardness, corrosion resistance, ion release, and antibacterial properties were evaluated for TNZT alloy before and after surface modification. The results show better hardness and corrosion resistance as well as lower ion release for the PM-EDMed specimen due to the presence of Ag, oxides, and carbides such as NbC, TiC, TiO2, ZrO2, and Nb2O5 that’s deposited and embedded as a hard phase in the recast layer of the machined surface. Also, the antibacterial property of the PM-EDMed specimen is effectively improved as silver is an antibiotic with a wide range, so it has favorable antibacterial properties for Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.

In recent years, the number of materials used as drug delivery systems (DDS) has increased dramatically. The widespread use of DDSs has improved both the safety and efficacy of therapy. The systems currently in use pose numerous drawbacks and require proper improvements. Although many modern materials are being developed, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) deserve special attention. Thermal and chemical stability, high specific surface area, low toxicity, high biocompatibility, and great potential for modification are the main features enabling MOFs to be used as DDS. In this review, we describe MOFs, their structure, synthesis, and characterization, as well as drug loading, drug release kinetics, and bioassays. A critical approach is to outline the disadvantages as well as the limitations of MOFs and to identify areas that need to be studied more thoroughly. Nonetheless, the prospective nature of MOFs as DDS and potential adsorbents in overdose or poisoning is presented and highlighted.

Chitosan (CS) is a polysaccharide readily used in tissue engineering due to its properties: similarity to the glycosaminoglycans present in the body, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, antibacterial character and owing to the fact that its degradation that may occur under the influence of human enzymes generates non-toxic products. Applications in tissue engineering include using CS to produce artificial scaffolds for bone regeneration that provide an attachment site for cells during regeneration processes. Chitosan can be used to prepare scaffolds exclusively from this polysaccharide, composites or polyelectrolyte complexes. A popular solution for improving the surface properties and, as a result enhancing cell-biomaterial interactions, is to coat the scaffold with layers of chitosan. The article focuses on a polysaccharide of natural origin – chitosan (CS) and its application in scaffolds in tissue engineering. The last part of the review focuses on bone tissue and interactions between cells and chitosan after implantation of a scaffold and how chitosan’s structure affects bone cell adhesion and life processes.

Content available Biocidal properties of copper nanoparticles
EN
Metal nanoparticles (NPs) with antibacterial properties represent a promising alternative approach to antibiotics, whose overuse has led to the appearance of drug-resistant bacteria. This article addresses particularly copper (Cu) nanoparticles since Cu is a structural constituent of many enzymes in living microorganisms. In addition, Cu has a better antibacterial effect and minimal cost compared to silver. The properties of Cu nanoparticles are described here: antibactericide, toxicity mechanisms, oxidation, and copper oxide biocompatibility for medical applications. Along with the advantages of Cu nanoparticles, the nanotoxicity still remains to take into consideration such as in targetting different bacteria strains, bacteria’s resistance, the effect of size, the effect of NP chemical composition, the effect of oxidation, and the corona phenomenon effect. The methodology of Cu nanoparticles synthesis, related to the biocidal effect, is illustrated by some limitations and some breakthrough such as chitosan stabilizer (CS), laser ablation, plasma induction, and flow-levitation method (FL). Although Cu nanoparticles are beneficial for bacterial elimination, these nanoparticles are graded harmful to the human body and the environment because of their toxic effects. Thus, it requires further improvement and further investigation to create super antibacterial Cu nanoparticles, to develop some interesting research work around this subject, and to reveal some promising medical findings.

Purpose: In recent years, it has become extremely important to search for more and more natural and biocompatible materials that allow for the reconstruction of natural tissues with as few side effects as possible. The aim of the present paper is to define mechanical properties such as compressive stress and Young’s Modulus and to estimate the ability of human bone cell strains to form biofilm on bioresorbable composites manufactured of polylactide and poly-l-lactide (PLA and PLLA) and hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate (HA and β-TCP) with the use of Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) method. Methods: Microbiological tests were conducted on three variants of solid specimen made with additive laser technology. Samples with different chemical compositions were made with appropriate manufacturing parameters ensuring stability of both composite ingredients. Microbiological in vitro tests helped to determine cytotoxicity of specific samples toward bone cells. Results: The results obtained indicate significantly increased ability of osteoblasts to form colonies on the surface of materials with higher content of hydroxyapatite ceramics compared to surfaces of lower hydroxyapatite content. Conclusions: The data provided can be useful for future applications of the SLS technology in production of bioresorbable PLA/PLLA/HA/β-TCP medical implants.

Purpose: The current study examined magnesium alloy AZ31B specimens manufactured with Additive Manufacturing method (selective laser melting – SLM) to investigate the applicability of this technology for the production of medical devices. Methods: Osteoblast cells and bacterial biofilm growth ability on specimen was examined and the effect of surface state on corrosion resistance was evaluated by electrochemical and immersion methods. Results: High survival of hFOB cells, as well as a strong tendency for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus biofilm proliferation on the surface of the tested specimens were shown. SLM-processed AZ31B alloy has a higher corrosion resistance in 0.9% NaCl solution and in a multi-electrolyte saline solution than the material in a conventional form of a rolled sheet. Conclusions: It has been demonstrated that the strong development of the surface of as-built processed specimens results in a significantly increased corrosion rate, which hinders the production of complex structures in tissue engineering products that support cell ingrowth.

The purpose of the conducted study was to analyse new materials intended for contact with the human body in view of their physical, chemical and biological properties. The authors have put to test six commercially available materials, four out of which were composite polyamide 12-based materials, while two were polyurethanes. The examined materials were assessed in terms of the surface. Subsequently, their hardness and biocompatibility were tested. The authors devoted major attention to the tests of absorption and emissivity of water, the pH = 7.4 PBS buffer solution and pH = 4.3 artificial sweat in temperatures of 21°C and 37°C. The results of the tests have confirmed the non-toxicity of all the tested materials and allowed to provide their characteristics in terms of their surface, hardness, as well as absorption and emissivity of various body fluids. Both polyamide 12 and the tested polyurethanes are classified as thermoplastics that may be used in additive technology.
