Abstract Background A compact passive oxide layer can grow on tantalum (Ta). It has been reported that this oxide layer can facilitate bone ingrowth in vivo though the development of bone-like apatite, which promotes hard and soft tissue adhesion. Thus, Ta surface treatment on facial implant materials may improve the tissue response, which could result in less fibrotic encapsulation and make the implant more stable on the bone surface. The purposes of this study were to verify whether surface treatment of facial implant materials using Ta can improve the biohistobiological response and to determine the possibility of potential clinical applications. Methods Two different and commonly used implant materials, silicone and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), were treated via Ta ion implantation using a Ta sputtering gun. Ta-treated samples were compared with untreated samples using in vitro and in vivo evaluations. Osteoblast (MG-63) and fibroblast (NIH3T3) cell viability with the Ta-treated implant material was assessed, and the tissue response was observed by placing the implants over the rat calvarium (n = 48) for two different lengths of time. Foreign body and inflammatory reactions were observed, and soft tissue thickness between the calvarium and the implant as well as the bone response was measured. Results The treatment of facial implant materials using Ta showed a tendency toward increased fibroblast and osteoblast viability, although this result was not statistically significant. During the in vivo study, both Ta-treated and untreated implants showed similar foreign body reactions. However, the Ta-treated implant materials (silicone and ePTFE) showed a tendency toward better histological features: lower soft tissue thickness between the implant and the underlying calvarium as well as an increase in new bone activity. Conclusion Ta surface treatment using ion implantation on silicone and ePTFE facial implant materials showed the possibility of reducing soft tissue intervention between the calvarium and the implant to make the implant more stable on the bone surface. Although no statistically significant improvement was observed, Ta treatment revealed a tendency toward an improved biohistological response of silicone and ePTFE facial implants. Conclusively, tantalum treatment is beneficial and has the potential for clinical applications.

Study Design. Combinations of metal implants (stainless steel (SS), titanium (Ti), and cobalt chrome (CC)) were placed in porcine spines. After 12 months, tissue response and implant corrosion were compared between mixed and single metal junctions. Objective. Model development and an attempt to determine any detriment of combining different metals in posterior spinal instrumentation. Methods. Yucatan mini-pigs underwent instrumentation over five unfused lumbar levels. A SS rod and a Ti rod were secured with Ti and SS pedicle screws, SS and Ti crosslinks, SS and CC sublaminar wires, and Ti sublaminar cable. The resulting 4 SS/SS, 3 Ti/Ti, and 11 connections between dissimilar metals per animal were studied after 12 months using radiographs, gross observation, and histology (foreign body reaction (FBR), metal particle count, and inflammation analyzed). Results. Two animals had constructs in place for 12 months with no complications. Histology of tissue over SS/SS connections demonstrated 11.1 ± 7.6 FBR cells, 2.1 ± 1.7 metal particles, and moderate to extensive inflammation. Ti/Ti tissue showed 6.3 ± 3.8 FBR cells, 5.2 ± 6.7 particles, and no to extensive inflammation (83% extensive). Tissue over mixed components had 14.1 ± 12.6 FBR cells and 13.4 ± 27.8 particles. Samples surrounding wires/cables versus other combinations demonstrated FBR (12.4 ± 13.5 versus 12.0 ± 9.6 cells, P = 0.96), particles (19.8 ± 32.6 versus 4.3 ± 12.7, P = 0.24), and inflammation (50% versus 75% extensive, P = 0.12). Conclusions. A nonfusion model was developed to study corrosion and analyze biological responses. Although no statistical differences were found in overlying tissue response to single versus mixed metal combinations, galvanic corrosion between differing metals is not ruled out. This pilot study supports further investigation to answer concerns when mixing metals in spinal constructs.

This study aimed to present a literature review with data obtained in vitro and in vivo on metal free partial fixed protheses (PFP) in the posterior region, considering the following variables: ceramic material to be used; prosthesis extension; survival or longevity; main failures found, and comparison with the longevity of conventional metaloceramic PFP. A bibliographical survey was carried out using the databases: United States National Library of Medicine (PubMed) and Scientific Electronic Library Online (Sciello) for articles in English and Portuguese from 1998 to 2019. Articles should meet the inclusion criteria, which were articles that contained information that enabled the calculation of PFPs survival and success, articles with a minimum observation period of 3 years, articles that identified the reason of failures, and studies reported since 1998. Sixteen studies met the inclusion criteria and were evaluated comparatively. The survival rate of the PFP’s varies depending on the ceramic material used and the prostheses extension, no significant difference was observed in the relation between the ceramic material used and the connectors size; however, the greater the extension of the prosthesis, the higher must be the connector size. It was concluded that ceramic materials based on zirconia are the ones that have the longest survival. In addition, the main reasons that lead to decreased survival of PFP’s are secondary caries and connector fracture, however, more studies are needed to determine safely which materials and the extent of PFP’s are the most indicated.

Abstract Ionizing radiation may cause cardiotoxicity not only at high, but even at low (considered as harmless) doses, yet the molecular mechanisms of the heart’s response to low doses are not clear. In this work, we used high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to detect the early and late effects of radiation on the metabolism of murine hearts. The hearts of C57Bl/6NCrl female mice were irradiated in vivo with single 0.2 Gy or 2 Gy doses using 6 MV photons, then tissues were collected 48 h and 20 weeks after exposure. The most distinct changes in the profile of polar metabolites were detected 48 h after irradiation with 2 Gy, and included increased levels of pantothenate and glutamate as well as decreased levels of alanine, malonate, acetylcarnitine, glycine and adenosine. Significant effects of the 2 Gy dose were also observed 20 weeks after irradiation and included decreased levels of glutamine and acetylcarnitine when compared with age-matched controls. Moreover, several differences were observed between hearts irradiated with 2 Gy and analyzed either 48 h or 20 weeks after the exposure, which included changes in levels of acetylcarnitine, alanine, glycine, glutamate, glutamine, formate, myo-inositol and trimethylamine. No statistically significant effects induced by the 0.2 Gy dose were observed 20 weeks after irradiation. In general, radiation-affected compounds were associated with energy metabolism, fatty acid beta-oxidation, oxidative stress and damage to cell structures. At the same time, radiation-related effects were not detected at the level of tissue histology, which indicated a higher sensitivity of metabolomics-based tests for cardiac tissue response to radiation.

Additional Mechanism

Recent evidence from our laboratory and others suggests that nitric oxide (NO) is a modulator of in vivo and in vitro oxygen consumption in the murine and canine heart. Therefore, the goal of our study was twofold: to determine whether NO modulates myocardial oxygen consumption in the nonhuman primate heart in vitro and to evaluate whether the seemingly cardioprotective actions of amlodipine may involve an NO-mediated mechanism. Using a Clark-type O2 electrode, we measured oxygen consumption in cynomologous monkey heart at baseline and after increasing doses of S-nitroso- N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP; 10−7–10−4M), bradykinin (10−7–10−4M), ramiprilat (10−7–10−4M), and amlodipine (10−7–10−5M). SNAP (−38 ± 5.8%), bradykinin (−19 ± 3.9%), ramiprilat (−28 ± 2.3%), and amlodipine (−23 ± 4.5%) each caused significant ( P < 0.05) reductions in myocardial oxygen consumption at their highest dose. Preincubation of tissue with nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (10−4 M) blunted the effects of bradykinin (−5.4 ± 3.2%), ramiprilat (−4.8 ± 5.0%), and amlodipine (−5.3 ± 5.0%) but had no effect on the tissue response to SNAP (−38 ± 5.8%). Our results indicate that NO can reduce oxygen consumption in the primate myocardium in vitro, and they support a role for the calcium-channel blocker amlodipine as a modulator of myocardial oxygen consumption via a kinin-NO mediated mechanism.
