Calcium sulfate/calcium phosphate (CS-CP)-based bone substitutes have been developed in premixed putty for usage in clinical applications. However, it is difficult to completely stop the bleeding during an operation because premixed putty can come into contact with blood or body fluids leading to disintegration. Under certain conditions depending on particle size and morphology, collapsed (washed) particles can cause inflammation and delay bone healing. In this context, anti-washout premixed putty CS-CP was prepared by mixing glycerin with 1, 2, and 4 wt% of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), and the resultant anti-washout properties were evaluated. The results showed that more than 70% of the premixed putty without HPMC was disintegrated after being immersed into simulated body fluid (SBF) for 15 min. The results demonstrated that the more HPMC was contained in the premixed putty, the less disintegration occurred. We conclude that CS-CP pre-mixed putty with glycerin and HPMC is a potential bone substitute that has good anti-washout properties for clinical applications.

This paper discusses the physicochemical properties of powders obtained by spray drying of cloudy beetroot juice, using dehumidified air in variants with or without carriers. The inlet air temperature was 130 °C or 90 °C, and the addition of the carriers was at a ratio of juice to carrier solids of 3:2. In the obtained powders, the following physicochemical properties were determined: water content and water activity, apparent density, loose and tapped density, porosity, flowability, particle size and morphology, and the content and retention of betalains. It was possible to dry cloudy beetroot juice without the use of carriers at low temperatures (90 or 130 °C). The 100% beetroot powders were characterized by satisfactory physicochemical properties, often better than those with carriers (including lower hygroscopicity and higher color saturation and yield). A lower loss of betalains was found for the powders with the addition of carriers. The best process yields were obtained for the powder without carriers at 130 °C and 90 °C.

Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT) is considered to be an excellent candidate for lead-free piezoelectric ceramics. In this study, we propose a hydrothermal method for the preparation of single phase NBT powder at relatively low treatment-temperature. The particle size and morphology of the synthesized powders were examined by SEM. The powders were further pressed into disk and sintered at 1120°C/2h in air, and its properties and microstructure were compared with traditionally prepared samples.

Bone Repairing

Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are well-known orthopedic materials for filling bone. However, CPC pastes tend to disintegrate immediately when contacting with blood or other aqueous (body) fluids, which is a main limitation of its clinical applications in bone repairing, reconstruction and augmentation. To improve the anti-washout performance of CPC, modified starches such as pre-gelatinized starch, etherified starch, and esterified starch were added to the liquid phase of CPC in this work. CPC with good anti-washout performance was prepared and the effects of the modified starches on the properties of CPC were investigated. The results showed that the CPC with the modified starches were more stable in simulated body fluid than that without modified starch, especially the CPC with the etherified starch (II). X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the modified starches did not inhibit CPC components from converting to hydroxyapatite. Furthermore, the anti-washout mechanism of the modified starches in CPC was discussed. It is concluded that the addition of the modified starches such as pre-gelatinized starch, etherified starch, and esterified starch to CPC can improve its anti-washout performance and should be of value in clinical surgery where the cement is exposed to blood.

The compound CaCl2 plays a significant role in the process of direct calciothermic reduction of Ti2O3 to prepare porous titanium. In this paper, the effect of CaCl2 on reduction products by calciothermic reduction of Ti2O3 was investigated. Results show that the distribution of CaCl2 in reduction preform influences particle size and morphology differences in reduction products both on the surface and the inside. The CaCl2 is transferred to the surface of the Ti2O3 preform due to its volatilization before and throughout reduction. The content of CaCl2 in the surface zone of Ti2O3 preform is significantly higher than that in the interior during the reduction process, contributing to the formation of large Ti particles with a smooth shape on the surface, and small Ti particles with inherited morphology of Ti2O3 inside. More CaCl2 causes the aggregation of Ti particles to form large Ti particles which are advantageous as they connect and form a more solid porous titanium structure. The presence of a small amount of CaCl2 in the interior also results in the coexistence of small Ti and CaO particles, forming a loose structure with uniform distribution.
