چکیده

Development of strontium releasing implants capable of stimulating bone formation and inhibiting bone resorption is a desirable solution for curing osteoporosis. In this work, well-ordered SrTiO(3) nanotube arrays capable of Sr release at a slow rate and for a long time are successfully fabricated on titanium by simple hydrothermal treatment of anodized titania nanotubes. This surface architecture combines the functions of nanoscaled topography and Sr release to enhance osseointegration while at the same time leaving space for loading of other functional substances. In vitro experiments reveal that the SrTiO(3) nanotube arrays possess good biocompatibility and can induce precipitation of hydroxyapatite from simulated body fluids (SBF). This Ti-based implant with SrTiO(3) nanotube arrays is an ideal candidate for osteoporotic bone implants. The proposed method can also be extended to load other biologically useful elements such as Mg and Zn.

In vivo osseointegration of Ti implants with a strontium-containing nanotubular coating

Novel biomedical titanium (Ti) implants with high osteogenic ability for fast and good osseointegration under normal as well as osteoporotic conditions are urgently needed. Expanding on our previous in vitro results, we hypothesized that nanotubular, strontium-loaded (NT-Sr) structures on Ti implants would have favorable osteogenic effects and evaluated the in vivo osseointegration of these imp...

Study of a new bone-targeting titanium implant–bone interface

New strategies involving bone-targeting titanium (Ti) implant-bone interface are required to enhance bone regeneration and osseointegration for orthopedic and dental implants, especially in osteoporotic subjects. In this study, a new dual-controlled, local, bone-targeting delivery system was successfully constructed by loading tetracycline-grafted simvastatin (SV)-loaded polymeric micelles in t...

Nanoengineered drug-releasing Ti wires as an alternative for local delivery of chemotherapeutics in the brain

UNLABELLED The blood-brain barrier (BBB) blocks the passage of active molecules from the blood which makes drug delivery to the brain a challenging problem. Oral drug delivery using chemically modified drugs to enhance their transport properties or remove the blocking of drug transport across the BBB is explored as a common approach to address these problems, but with limited success. Local del...
