Bioactive glass 46S6 and biodegradable therapeutic polymer (Chitosan: CH) have been elaborated to form 46S6-CH composite by freeze-drying process. The kinetics of chemical reactivity and bioactivity at the surface were investigated by using physicochemical techniques, particularly solid-state MAS-NMR. Immortalized cell line used to construct multicellular spheroids was employed as three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures for in vitro studies. Obtained results showed a novel structure of the composite; the chemical treatment (ultrasound, magnetic stirring, freeze drying process and lyophilization) led the bioactive glass particles to be loaded in the chitosan-based materials. 29Si and 31P MAS-NMR results showed the emergence of two new species, QSi 3(OH) and QSi 4, which are characteristic of the vitreous network dissolution in simulated body fluid (SBF). MAS-NMR also confirmed the formation of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) at the surface of the initial 46S6-CH. Three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures highlighted the effect of chitosan, where the cell viability reached up to 78% in 46S6-CH composite and up to 67% in 46S6. The association of (CH) and bioactive glass (BG) matrix promotes a highly significant bioactivity, demonstrating surface bone formation and satisfactory behavior in biological environment.

Bioactive glasses are indicated for use as bone substitutes in orthopedic or dental surgery because of their high reactivity once in contact with the biological medium. Boron is known as a glass network former and an activator of the glasses bioactivity. In this work, bioactive glass was doped by 5, 10 and 20 wt% of B2O3 according to the melting process. Adding boron oxide with high content enhances glass materials’ bioactivity. Likewise, thanks to their solubility, borate-containing bioactive glasses were fluently used as orthopedic implants. The aim of our study was to investigate of boron effect on the thermal characteristics of our bioactive glass to better understand their proprieties in order for use as bone biomaterial. The obtained results proved that the more the boron content in the glass network increases, the more the melting temperature decreases and the more the thermal stability increases.

Strontium (Sr) compounds have become increasingly popular in the field of osteoporosis treatment. However, the quality of new bone after implantation of strontium-containing bioceramics has yet to be investigated. In the present study, the newly formed bone tissue around strontium-doped bioactive glass (BG-Sr) implants was characterized. BG-Sr was implanted in the femoral condyl of ovariectomised rats (OVX). The resected bone was prepared for analysis using several physico-chemical and biological assays such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray, and histomorphometry. BG-Sr biomaterial favored calcium phosphate layer integration on the surface of the glass and offered better bioactivity. Moreover, the histomorphometric analysis demonstrated that BV/TV, N. Ob were significantly higher in BG-Sr treated rats groups than those of BG groups. However, Ob. S/BS, and OV/BV were significantly lower in BG-Sr treated rats groups than those of BG groups. The (Oc.S/BS) was significantly decreased in BG-Sr groups, when compared with that of BG rat groups. On the other hand, the MS/BS had not significantly decreased in the BG-Sr treated rats groups when compared with that of BG groups, however; it was significantly higher when compared with control and OVX groups. These findings suggest that BG-Sr can be used as an inhibitory therapeutic potential of osteoporosis by delivering strontium to stimulate new bone remodeling.

Tissue engineering has opened up a new therapeutic avenue promising a revolution in regenerative medicine. Considerable attention has been given to chitosan composite materials and their applications in the field of the bonegraft substitutes. We evaluated the antioxidative properties of chitosan-doped bioactive glass (BG-CH) with 17 wt%chitosan, and their applications in the guided bone regeneration. BG-CH was produced by a freeze-drying process andimplanted in the femoral condyles of ovariectomized rats. Grafted bone tissues were carefully removed to evaluate theoxidative stress analysis, histomorphometric profile and mineral bone distribution by using inductively coupled plasmaoptical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). A significant decrease of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARs)was observed after BG-CH implantation. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase(GPx) activities significantly increased in ovariectomized group implanted with chitosan-doped bioactive glass (OVX-BG-CH) as compared to ovariectomized group implanted with bioactive glass (OVX-BG). The histomorphometricanalysis showed that bone/tissue volume (BV/TV), osteoblast number (N.Ob) and osteoblast surface/bone surface (Ob.S/BS) were significantly higher in OVX-BG-CH group than in OVX-BG group. On the other hand, a rise in Ca and Pion concentrations in the implanted microenvironment was shown to lead to the formation/deposition of Ca-P phases. Trace elements such as Sr and Fe were detected in the newly formed bone and involved in bone healing. These resultssuggested that BG-CH composites could become clinically useful as a therapeutic and implantable material.

Biocomposite of bioactive glass (BG) with chitosan polymer (CH) is prepared by freeze-drying technique. Obtained material is investigated by using several physico-chemical methods. The XRD and FTIR show the interface bonding interactions between glass and polymer. The specific surface and porosity of biocomposite were determined. In vitro assays were employed to evaluate the effect of chitosan addition on the glass by studying the chemical reactivity and bioactivity of the BG and BG/CH biocomposite after soaking in a simulated body fluid (SBF). The obtained results show the formation of a bioactive hydroxycarbonate apatite (HCA) layer and highlight the bioactivity and the kinetics of chemical reactivity of bioactive glass, particularly after association with chitosan. The BG/CH biocomposite has excellent ability to form an apatite layer. Inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) highlights the negative effect of chitosan on the silicon release toward the SBF of bioactive glass when in vitro assays.

Bioactive glass particle is used in the repair of bone defects. This material undergoes a series of surface in vivo reactions, which leads to osteointegration. We evaluated the effect of the bioactive glass synthesis, sol-gel (BG(S)) versus melting (BG(M)), associated with polyvinyl-alcohol (PVA) on in vivo bioactivity with biochemical parameters, liver-kidney histological structure and antibacterial in vitro activity. These composites were testified in many bacteria and implanted in ovariectomized rat. The serum and organs (liver and kidney) of all groups, control and treated rats, were collected to investigate the side effects of our composites, BG(S)-PVA and BG(M)-PVA, in comparison with control and ovariectomized rats. Also, the implants, before and after implantation, were prepared for analysis using physicochemical techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Our results have shown the stability of natremia, kaliemia, calcemia and phosphoremia. The histological structures of liver and kidney in implanted rats are intact compared to control and ovariectomized rats. BG(S)-PVA is characterized by a higher antibacterial effect on negative and positive gram bacteria than BG(M)-PVA. The physicochemical results have confirmed a progressive degradation of BG(S)-PVA and BG(M)-PVA, while replacing the implant by an apatite layer. But this bioactivity of BG(S)-PVA is faster than BG(M)-PVA. We can therefore confirm, on the one hand, the biocompatibility of our two implants and, on the other hand, the beneficial effect of sol-gel synthesis technique versus melting, both on the antibacterial effect and on the rapid formation of layer hydroxyapatite, and consequently on osteogenesis.

Biologic Response to Carbonated Hydroxyapatite Associated with Orthopedic Device: Experimental Study in a Rabbit Model

Background: Carbonated hydroxyapatite (CHA) and related calcium phosphates have been studied for many years as implant materials due to their similarity with the mineral phase of bone. The main limitation of CHA ceramics as well as other bioactive materials is that they have poor mechanical proprieties. It is thought that the mechanical device can cause an increase in metabolic activity and bone healing. In this study we investigated the reactivity and tissue behaviour of implanted CHA biomaterial reinforced by mini external fixator. Methods: The evaluation of biomaterial biocompatibility and osteogenesis was performed on a rabbit model over a period of 6 weeks by radiological, histological and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray SEM-energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. Results: While rabbits treated with CHA exhibited more bone formation, and fibrous tissue was observed when empty bone defects were observed. EDX analysis detected little calcium and phosphorus on the surface of the bone that was not implanted, while high content of calcium (62.7%) and phosphorus (38%) was found on the interface bone cement. Conclusions: Bone repairing showed that the mini external fixator stimulated the ossification which was pushed when grafted by CHA. This effect may play an important role in the prevention of implant loosening.
