Article Abstract
Objective: This study aims to compare and determine a kind of nano-hydroxyapatite composite material with good antibacterial efficacy on Enterococcusfaecalis (E. faecalis) in vitro.
Methods: We investigated the antimicrobial activity of four kinds of nano-hydroxyapatite composites, namely, silver/hydroxyapatite composite nanoparticles (Ag/nHA), yttrium/hydroxyapatite composite nanoparticles (Yi/nHA), cerium/hydroxyapatite composite nanoparticles (Ce/nHA), and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHA), against E. faecalis in vitro using the agar diffusion and broth dilution method by measuring the growth inhibition zone and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), respectively.
Results: The agar diffusion test results showed that Ag/nHA displayed an obvious growth inhibition zone, whereas Yi/nHA, Ce/nHA, and nHA showed no influence on E. faecalis. The MIC value of Ag/nHA was 1.0 g.L-1, and the three other materials had no effect on E.faecalis even at the high concentration of 32.0 g.L-1.
Conclusion: Ag/nHA display a potential antimicrobial efficacy to planktonic E.faecalis. Whereas, the three other kinds of nano-hydroxyapatite composites (Yi/nHA, Ce/nHA, nHA) show no influence.

Nano hydroxyapatite (nHA) has been acknowledged for its inhibition efficiency on tumor cells and its excellent biocompatibility for normal tissue and cells. However, the low inhibitory efficiency of tumor cells and the ambiguous inhibitory mechanism limited its further application. In this work, four kinds of nHA with different sizes was prepared, and the one with the highest inhibition efficiency on 4T1 cells was screened as a substrate for developing the nanoparticles coated with polydopamine (PDA) coating, which was named nHA-PDA.

Nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-HA) coating has been proved to be effective to modify the titanium surface for better bone formation. A simple and economical nano-HA coating method that filling the nano-HA particles into the porous titanium substrate by using vacuum suction was introduced in this study. Two kinds of nano-HA modified titanium surfaces, nano-HA filled type (nHA-f) and nano-HA coated type (nHA-c), were prepared by a 2-step and 3-step protocol, respectively.

The application of nano-level passivating agents in the remediation of soil heavy metal pollution has received widespread attention, but its harm to soil animals should also be addressed. This study explored the effect of three nanomaterials-nanohydroxyapatite apatite (n-HAP), nano zeolite (n-zeolite), and nanometer iron oxide (n-FeO), on catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content through filter paper contact test. The effects of nanomaterials spiked at 1.

The use of various types of calcium phosphate has been reported in the preparation of repairing materials for bone defects. However, the physicochemical and biological properties among them might be vastly different. In this study, we prepared two types of calcium phosphates, nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) and natural bone ceramic (NBC), into 3D scaffolds by mixing with type I collagen (CoL), resulting in the nHA/CoL and NBC/CoL scaffolds.

Nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HAP) and two types of plants (rape plant and cabbage) were used in this study to investigate their combined remediation effect on the removal of heavy metal contaminated soil. Different n-HAP concentrations (5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 g kg) with two kinds of plants were used in the experiments and compared with two control groups without adding n-HAP. Compared with the control group, the total Cd concentration increased and the amount of available Cd decreased significantly in soil (p < 0.
