Resorbable (Vicryl® Plus) sutures were coated with zinc-doped glass (Zn-BG) and silver-doped ordered mesoporous bioactive glass (Ag-MBG) particles by a dip coating technique. A multilayer approach was used to achieve robust coatings. The first coating was a polymeric layer (e.g., PCL or chitosan) and the second one was a composite made of BG particles in a polymer matrix. The coatings were characterized in terms of morphology by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), in vitro bioactivity, and antibacterial properties. Chitosan/Ag-MBG coatings showed the ability to form hydroxyl-carbonate-apatite on their surfaces after immersion in SBF. An antibacterial effect against Gram (+) and Gram (-) bacteria was confirmed, highlighting the potential application of the coated sutures for antibiotic-free approaches.

Mesoporous Bioactive Glass

Biomedical implants are the need of this era due to the increase in number of accidents and follow-up surgeries. Different types of bone diseases such as osteoarthritis, osteomalacia, bone cancer, etc., are increasing globally. Mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) are used in biomedical devices due to their osteointegration and bioactive properties. In this study, silver (Ag)- and strontium (Sr)-doped mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (Ag-Sr MBGNs) were prepared by a modified Stöber process. In this method, Ag+ and Sr2+ were co-substituted in pure MBGNs to harvest the antibacterial properties of Ag ions, as well as pro-osteogenic potential of Sr2 ions. The effect of the two-ion concentration on morphology, surface charge, composition, antibacterial ability, and in-vitro bioactivity was studied. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-Ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the doping of Sr and Ag in MBGNs. SEM and EDX analysis confirmed the spherical morphology and typical composition of MBGNs, respectively. The Ag-Sr MBGNs showed a strong antibacterial effect against Staphylococcus carnosus and Escherichia coli bacteria determined via turbidity and disc diffusion method. Moreover, the synthesized Ag-Sr MBGNs develop apatite-like crystals upon immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF), which suggested that the addition of Sr improved in vitro bioactivity. The Ag-Sr MBGNs synthesized in this study can be used for the preparation of scaffolds or as a filler material in the composite coatings for bone tissue engineering.

ABSTRACT Bioactive glass has found extensive application as an orthopedic and dental graft material and most recently also as a tissue engineering scaffold. Here we report an initial investigation of the in vitro antibacterial properties of AgBG, a novel bioactive glass composition doped with Ag2O. The bacteriostatic and bactericidal properties of this new material and of two other bioactive glass compositions, 45S5 Bioglass and BG, have been studied by using Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus as test microorganisms. Concentrations of AgBG in the range of 0.05 to 0.20 mg of AgBG per ml of culture medium were found to inhibit the growth of these bacteria. Not only was AgBG bacteriostatic, but it also elicited a rapid bactericidal action. A complete bactericidal effect was elicited within the first hours of incubation at AgBG concentrations of 10 mg ml−1. 45S5 Bioglass and BG had no effect on bacterial growth or viability. The antibacterial action of AgBG is attributed exclusively to the leaching of Ag+ ions from the glass matrix. Analytical measurements rule out any contribution to AgBG-mediated bacterial killing by changes in pH or ionic strength or the dissolution of other ionic species from the biomaterials. Our observations of the dissolution profiles of Ag+ from AgBG in the presence and absence of bacteria are consistent with silver accumulation by the bacteria.

Magnesium and its alloys are widely considered as temporary bio-implants owing to their mechanical properties and biocompatibility. However, the high corrosion rates and degradation in the physiological environment restrict the practical application of Mg as a biomedical device. Therefore, in this study, Zein/45S5 bioactive glass (BG) coatings were deposited via electrophoretic deposition (EPD) on pretreated pure magnesium (Mg) substrates, which controls the rapid degradation of magnesium. The set of EPD parameters was first optimized on stainless steel (SS) and then the optimum EPD parameters were applied to obtain zein/BG composite coatings on Mg substrates. The morphology of the obtained coatings was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). SEM results showed that both zein and BG were successfully deposited on the surface of the Mg substrate. Electrochemical measurements consisting of open circuit potential (OCP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and potentiodynamic polarization confirmed that the corrosion resistance of Mg improved after the deposition of zein/BG coatings. The in-vitro bioactivity study was carried out by immersing the zein/BG coatings in simulated body fluid for 3, 7, and 21 days. SEM, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results elucidated that the hydroxyapatite layer developed after 21 days of immersion in SBF, which confirmed the bone binding ability of the coatings.

Silica and phosphate based bioactive glass nanoparticles (58SiO2-33CaO-9P2O5) with doping of neem (Azadirachta indica) leaf powder and silver nanoparticles were prepared and characterised. Bioactive glass nanoparticles were produced using sol-gel technique.In vitrobioactivity of the prepared samples was investigated using simulated body fluid. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of prepared glass particles reveals amorphous phase and spherical morphology with a particle size of less than 50 nm. When compared to neem doped glass, better bioactivity was attained in silver doped glass through formation of hydroxyapatite layer on the surface, which was confirmed through XRD, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. However, neem leaf powder doped bioactive glass nanoparticles show good antimicrobial activity againstStaphylococcus aureusandEscherichia coliand less bioactivity compared with silver doped glass particles. In addition, the biocompatibility of the prepared nanocomposites reveals better results for neem doped and silver doped glasses at lower concentration. Therefore, neem doped bioactive glass may act as a potent antimicrobial agent for preventing microbial infection in tissue engineering applications.

Background and Aims: Bioactive glass S53P4 is an antibacterial bone substitute with bone-bonding and osteostimulative properties. The bone substitute has been successfully used clinically in spine; trauma; orthopedic; ear, nose, and throat; and cranio-maxillofacial surgeries. Bioactive glass S53P4 significantly reduces the amount of bacteria in vitro and possesses the capacity to kill both planktonic bacteria and bacteria in biofilm. Three patients with severe spondylodiscitis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Candida tropicalis, or Staphylococcus aureus were operatively treated due to failed conservative treatment. The vertebral defects were reconstructed using bioactive glass S53P4 and an expandable replacement device. Material and Methods: Decompression and a posterolateral spondylodesis, using transpedicular fixation, were performed posteriorly in combination with an anterior decompression and reconstruction using an expandable vertebral body replacement device. For patients 1 and 2, the expander was covered with bioactive glass S53P4 only, and for patient 3, the glass was mixed with autograft bone. Results: The patients healed well with complete neurological recovery. Fusion was observed for all patients. The total follow-up was 4 years for patient 1, 1 year and 8 months for patient 2, and 2 years and 2 months for patient 3. No relapses or complications were observed. Conclusion: The antibacterial properties of bioactive glass S53P4 also make it a suitable bone substitute in the treatment of severe spondylodiscitis.
