Article Abstract
Background: The aims of this study were to determine the levels of cobalt (Co) and chromium (Cr) ions generated in simulators from metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) and ceramic-on-polyethylene (CoP) constructs. Furthermore, we aimed to investigate the cytotoxic effect of these ion levels on native tissues and their potential to modify periprosthetic joint infection risk.
Methods: We used in vitro culture of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) and Staphylococcus epidermidis cultures, respectively. Ten hip simulator constructs (5 MoP and 5 CoP) were assembled and run for 1,000,000 cycles in bovine serum and evaluated for CoCr concentration. Cytotoxicity and growth impact on AMSCs and S. epidermidis was compared between CoCr and inert silicon dioxide.
Results: After 1,000,000 cycles, mean MoP and CoP Co concentration was 2264 and 0.6 ng/mL, respectively (P < .001). Mean MoP and CoP Cr concentration was 217 and 4.3 ng/mL, respectively (P < .001). Mean MoP Co:Cr ratio was 10:1. Co ions were significantly more toxic to human AMSCs than control silicon dioxide in a dose-response manner (P < .001). S. epidermidis growth was not significantly impacted by Co concentrations observed in the simulators.
Conclusion: MoP constructs built in ideal conditions generated substantial CoCr debris, highlighting a baseline risk with these implants that may be exacerbated by host factors or imperfect surgical technique. Evaluation of impact on AMSCs suggests that debris levels produced under simulator conditions can be cytotoxic. In addition, these concentrations did not potentiate or inhibit S. epidermidis growth, suggesting that elevated periprosthetic joint infection rates with adverse local tissue reaction are related to other factors potentially associated with tissue necrosis.

Poxviruses co-opt the ubiquitin (Ub)-proteasome system (UPS) to facilitate virus replication, evade the innate immune response, and block programmed cell death of infected cells. Moreover, the UPS is an integral component of innate immune signaling pathways used by the host to respond to infection. To further elucidate how the UPS is engaged early during poxvirus infection, we quantified viral and cellular peptides with a Ub remnant motif (diGly peptides) from lysates of uninfected and vaccinia virus Copenhagen strain (VACV-Cop)-infected HeLa cells.

Hydrazine oxidation reaction (HzOR), owing to its exceptionally low theoretical oxidation potential, positions hydrazine-assisted water electrolysis as an ideal candidate for highly efficient hydrogen production. This reaction holds significant promise for future applications, offering substantial potential in the field of sustainable energy production. Herein, we report a bifunctional electrocatalyst consisting of interfacial heterogeneous CoP/MoP microspheres, coated with heteroatom-doped carbon, prepared by an organophosphonate-derived process.

The rational design of efficient and stable bifunctional electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reactions (HER) and oxygen evolution reactions (OER) poses a significant challenge in realizing environmentally friendly hydrogen production through electrocatalytic water splitting. The construction of heterostructure catalysts, coexisting of multiple components, represents a favorable approach for increasing active sites, modulating electronic structure, accelerating charge transfer, decreasing reaction energy barriers, and synergistically enhancing electrocatalytic performance. In this study, a triphasic metal phosphides' heterostructure among CoP, FeP, and MoP loaded on nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers (labeled as CoP-FeP-MoP@NC) was successfully synthesized through electrospinning and other subsequent steps as a bifunctional electrocatalyst material for water splitting.

Metal phosphide anode materials encounter poor reversibility of the discharge product (metal and NaP) and large volume variation, resulting in low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and severe capacity degradation. Herein, a bimetallic phosphide (CoMoP) with three-dimensional ordered porous (3DOP) nanoconstruction was fabricated, which presents a reduced Gibbs free energy change (Δ) of redox reaction between Co-Mo/NaP and CoMoP and improved conductivity compared to CoP and MoP. Additionally, the 3DOP architecture could disperse stress and reduce strain during cycling, thus improving structural stability of CoMoP.

Soft tissue inflammatory responses to metal debris from prostheses, categorised as adverse reactions to metal debris (ARMD), are frequent complications of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and often result in implant failure. Introducing modular implant designs in modern orthopaedics has brought benefits to total hip replacements but has also increased patients' susceptibility to corrosion-related risks. ARMD can develop from various metal articulating surfaces, including ceramic-on-polyethylene (CoP), ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC), metal-on-metal (MoM), and metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) configurations.
