Article Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) membrane containing fluvastatin on bone regeneration at bone defects in rat calvaria and tibia for possible use as a guided bone regeneration (GBR) membrane. PLGA and fluvastatin-containing PLGA (PLGA-fluvastatin) membranes were prepared and mechanical properties were evaluated. Standardized bony defects were created in rat calvaria and the right tibia, and covered with a PLGA or PLGA-fluvastatin membrane. Bone regeneration was evaluated using image analysis based on histologic examination. At 4 and 8 weeks after membrane implantation, the PLGA-fluvastatin group displayed enhanced new bone formation around the edge of the defect compared with the PLGA membrane group in the calvarial model. Thick bone regeneration was observed in tibia-defect sites in the PLGA-fluvastatin membrane group. These results suggest that the PLGA-containing fluvastatin membrane prepared in this study may potentially be used as a GBR membrane.

"Inner swelling-outer restraint" strategy to fabricate poly (vinyl alcohol)/MoS-poly (vinyl alcohol)/sodium carboxymethyl cellulose Janus hydrogel for pressure-bearing cartilage replacement.

Due to the poor regeneration ability of cartilage tissue, the design and fabrication of permanent hydrogel cartilage scaffolds with mechanical properties matching is still an urgent challenge. In this study, we propose an "inner swelling-outer restraint" strategy to construct Janus hydrogel for pressure-bearing cartilage replacement, which is inspired by the "Lamina-splendens" structure of cartilage. As a proof of concept, the poly(vinyl alcohol)/carboxymethyl cellulose sodium (PVA/CMCNa) layer is designed to capture more fluid by introducing negatively charged aggregates, while the macromolecular conformation of the PVA/MoS layer can be densified through wet annealing, thereby increasing the liquid permeation resistance of the PVA/CMCNa layer.

BACKGROUND The treatment of nonunion with deformity and shortening remains a significant challenge in orthopedic surgery. The chipping and lengthening technique is used for bone reconstruction and new bone formation, without the need for bone grafting. However, inadequate bone regeneration can require additional treatment.

The important role of the EphrinB2-EphB4 signalling pathway in bone remodelling has been demonstrated, while its effect on inflammatory bone defect regeneration remains poorly understood. This study was to assess the effect of EphB4-EphrinB2 signalling on inflammation-mediated bone defect repair in murine models. The modelling method of inflammation-mediated bone defect in mice was established by intraperitoneally injecting different concentrations of TNF-α.

Aim: Periodontitis is a common complication of type 2 diabetes. Imperatorin is a traditional Chinese medicinal compound recognized for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-tumor properties. Nevertheless, the impact of imperatorin on chronic periodontitis and chronic periodontitis associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus remains unexplored.

Prolonged or excessive inflammation may lead to impaired vascularization and bone regeneration, hindering the normal repair process of bone tissue. Although the regulation of inflammation is crucial for promoting a conducive microenvironment for bone regeneration, individual anti-inflammatory interventions frequently are inadequate in facilitating effective bone repair. Here, a multifunctional hydrogel (GelMA-ZC-Yoda1) with multifaceted therapeutic strategy was designed by integrating Zinc/Cerium-layered double oxide nanozyme (ZnCe-LDO, with catalase-like activity) and Yoda1 (an activator of the mechanically sensitive Piezo1 ion channel) into photocurable GelMA hydrogel.
