Abstract:
Infected bone defect healing is hindered by infection and compromised bone regenerative capacity. In this study, we designed a dual functional bone-defect-filling material with a sequential release system, that is, a burst release of a potent antibacterial agent, hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan (HACC), followed by a controlled release of osteoinductive bone morphogenic protein (BMP2) to repair the infected bone defect. Minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of HACC against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was 40 μg/mL. HACC at 40 μg/mL did not affect preosteoblast proliferation and did not influence the BMP2-induced alkaline phosphatase activity, osteocalcin expression, and matrix mineralization. in vitro release profile revealed burst release of HACC followed by a slow release of BMP2. in vivo bone formation was observed only in the BMP2-containing groups. HACC did not influence of biomimetic calcium phosphate (BioCaP) resorption and BMP2-induced bone formation. In conclusion, the optimized HACC/BMP2-incorporated BioCaP complex showed strong antibacterial effect and robustly enhanced osteoinduction both in vitro and in vivo.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Spongy bone is more porous, and less dense compared to compact bone. It is composed of concentric lamellae that are arranged irregularly to form the trabecular network. In some bones, the spaces between trabeculae contain red marrow, where...
01:27Compact Bone
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...
01:29Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
