Abstract:
Osteosarcoma is a rare cancer affecting disease for children and young adults; complete healing from this condition is quite difficult. Recently, new regeneration materials have been preferred, including natural compound companied implants for affected bone repair, and it is effectively used to treat osteosarcoma disease. Hence, octa calcium phosphate (OCP) reinforced with poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and oleic acid (OA) with naringenin (NRG) composite was prepared and studied to cure the sarcoma affected bone. The physicochemical nature of the prepared OCP, PVA/OA/OCP, and PVA/OA/OCP/NRG composite were characterized by Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and x-ray diffraction techniques. Thein vitrorelease of the NRG from the PVA/OA/OCP/NRG composite was evaluated by UV-visible spectroscopy and the NRG release rate was observed at 98.0% over 24 h. Biocompatibility and cell viability of the prepared OCP, PVA/OA/OCP, and PVA/OA/OCP/NRG composite are investigated in adipose-derived stem cells on different days. Interestingly, the PVA/OCP/OA/NRG composite shows an increase of 74.0%-92.0% in cell survival, indicating that the composite is biocompatible. Similarly, the ability of NRG in the composite is to suppress cancer cells and it was determined in lung cancer (A549) cells. NRG-loaded PVA/OCP/OA/NRG shows good inhibition ability, nearly 43% at 72 h. From the results, the prepared composite materials can inhibit cancer cells and be viable in stem cell growth. Since the materials will serve as potential regenerative materials for sarcoma-affected bone recovery.

Fractures: 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 procedure...
