This study evaluated the in vitro leukocyte response to titanium implants in the presence of autologous or heterologous antimicrobial peptides extracts. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) appeared to be a new approach both against microorganisms and for regulation of inflammatory and repair processes. To evaluate their potential usefulness in regenerative medicine, we prepared different extracts of neutrophil-derived AMPs from rabbit, ovine or porcine blood which contained AMPs of different compositions, mainly defensins, cathelicidins and fragments thereof. Then, we assessed in vitro the influence of different AMPs extracts on the neutrophils and monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) activity. For this purpose, these cells were obtained from experimental animals, rabbits, or sheep submitted to insertion of a titanium implant into the tibial defect. The cultured cells stimulation was autologous or heterologous, dependently on the AMPs extract origin and the experimental animal species. The neutrophil activity was assessed on the basis of the enzymes release from azurophilic and secondary granules and the free radicals generation. The MDM functional assessment was based on the NO and superoxide generation and arginase activity. Additionally, morphological changes were evaluated in the cell cultures. Our results indicated that the origin of AMPs extract is crucial for its activity. The autologous extracts stimulated anti-inflammatory responses, whereas the heterologous extracts displayed pro-inflammatory effect on neutrophils and macrophages. These results might be considered during the introduction of new preparations in regenerative medicine.

Surgical treatment of early onset scoliosis (EOS) is connected with the risk of early and late complications. The aim of the study is to assess influence of the rod fracture on the titanium ion release (TIR) in traditional growing rods instrumentation for EOS.56 patients treated surgically due to EOS were divided into three groups: 1) a control-patients newly operated due to scoliosis, patients treated with the traditional growing rod (TGR) and TGR who had rod fracture (FGR) and required a surgical revision. Titanium quantification in blood sample, skin fragment (CT –clean tissue) andmacrosco-pically contaminated tissue located near the implant (DT –dirty tissue) was performed using high-resolution emission spectrometry with excitation in inductively coupled plasma.The mean serum titanium level in control, TGR, and FGR groups were 1.93 ± 0.8, 5.61 ± 0.23, and 4.43 ± 0.1 μg/dm3, respectively. The mean CT titanium level in control, TGR, and FGR groups were 0.0045 ± 0.001, 0.0035 ± 0.001and 0.0065 ± 6.8 mg/g, respectively. The mean DT titanium level in TGR and FGR groups was 0.59 ± 0.02, and 1.022 ± 0.03 mg/g, respectively.Implant leadsto the TIR into tissues and blood. Increasing the number of anchors increases the titanium content inthe CT TGR group. Mechanical damage to the implant has no significant effect on the increase of TIR
