Article Abstract
The failure of dental implants is usually caused by bacteria infection, poor bioactivity and biocompatibility. It is a common phenomenon clinically. Statherin, a salivary protein, plays a crucial role of mediator between materials and cells/bacteria. However, the conformation of statherin might be changed by the implants in vivo. In this study, we investigated the effects of statherin on the bioactivities, antibacterial abilities and biocompatibilities of the titanium metals and the reaction mechanism. We found that the conformation of statherin was mainly influenced by surface composition, surface structure, surface roughness, surface hydrophilia and Ti-OH groups of materials. Statherin could decrease the cell biocompatibility of the titanium metals including pure titanium (PT), anodic oxidation (AO), sandblasting and etching (SLA) and plasma spraying hydroxyapatite (HA) coating in HGF cell experiments, regulate the bio-mineralization ability of HA coating in SBF, and enhance the antibacterial properties of PT and HA coating. This study revealed that surface properties of materials could change the conformation of statherin, which influenced the bioactivities, antibacterial properties and biocompatibilities of the materials in return.

Photocatalysis has emerged as a promising strategy to address water pollution caused by heavy metals and antibiotics. Zeolites exhibit significant potential in petrochemical catalysis; however, the development of zeolite-based photocatalysts remains a critical challenge for researchers. Herein, a novel Z-scheme heterojunction was designed and fabricated on the titanium-silicon zeolite TS-1 by modifying g-CN via a simple calcination process.

Sectionally nonlinearly functionally graded (SNFG) structures with triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) are considered ideal for bone implants because they closely replicate the hierarchical, anisotropic, and porous architecture of natural bone. The smooth gradient in material distribution allows for optimal load transfer, reduced stress shielding, and enhanced bone ingrowth, while TPMS provides high mechanical strength-to-weight ratio and interconnected porosity for vascularization and tissue integration. Wherein, The SNFG structure contains sections with thickness that varies nonlinearly along their length in different patterns.

We systematically evaluated the DNA adsorption and desorption efficiencies of several nanoparticles. Among them, titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles (NPs), aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) NPs, and zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs exhibited strong DNA-binding capacities under mild conditions. However, phosphate-mediated DNA displacement efficiencies varied considerably, with only TiO₂ NPs showing consistently superior performance.

A retrospective analysis of 47 consecutive patients treated between January 2022 and June 2024 documented operative time, intraoperative blood loss, fluoroscopy times, healing time, complications, postoperative fracture gap distance (mm), and articular surface step-off (mm) at the ankle joint. Ankle function was assessed using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score, the Manchester-Oxford Foot Questionnaire (MOXFQ), and range of motion measurements at 3, 6, 12, and 14 months.

The development of high-performance neural interfaces is critical for advancing brain-machine communication and treating neurological disorders. A major challenge in neural electrode design is achieving a seamless biological-electronic interface with optimized electrochemical properties, mechanical stability, and biocompatibility. In this study, we introduce a hierarchical micronanostructured poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-polydopamine (PEDOT-PDA) coating on titanium nitride (TiN) microelectrodes engineered to enhance electrophysiological signal recording and neural integration.
