研究目的
To modify the surface of a titanium implant by a straightforward and cost-effective processing technique and to determine its effect on osteoblast differentiation.
研究成果
Hydrothermal treatment successfully created ZnO nanostructures on acid-etched Ti, enhancing osteoblast proliferation and ALP activity in a dose-dependent manner. This suggests a promising surface modification method for improving implant osseointegration, with potential for future in vivo studies and clinical applications.
研究不足
The study is limited to in vitro tests with SaOS-2 cells; in vivo performance and long-term effects are not evaluated. The hydrophilicity and topography were similar across groups, so other factors might influence results. Optimization of Zn concentration and nanostructure size could be further explored.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used hydrothermal treatment to incorporate Zn into acid-etched pure Ti surfaces, with varying Zn precursor concentrations (0.0002 M, 0.002 M, 0.02 M) to create ZnO nanostructures. The rationale was to enhance bioactivity for bone regeneration.
2:0002 M, 002 M, 02 M) to create ZnO nanostructures. The rationale was to enhance bioactivity for bone regeneration. Sample Selection and Data Sources:
2. Sample Selection and Data Sources: Pure titanium discs (grade 2) were used as samples. Human osteosarcoma cell line SaOS-2 cells were cultured for in vitro tests.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes SEM (Merlin Compact, Zeiss), contact angle meter (JC2000C1; Powereach), XRD (Rigaku), XPS (Escalab 250Xi, Thermo Scientific), ICP-AES (IRIS Advantage ER/S; Thermo Fisher Scientific), microplate reader (Enspire, PerkinElmer). Materials include zinc acetate, ammonia solution, sulfuric acid, DMEM medium, McCoy's 5A medium, foetal bovine serum, penicillin-streptomycin, CCK-8 kit, ALP kit, BCA protein assay kit.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Samples were abrasive to 800-grit, cleaned ultrasonically, acid-etched in sulfuric acid, then hydrothermally treated in ammonia solution with Zn precursor at 95°C for 4 hours. Characterizations included SEM, contact angle measurement, XRD, XPS, Zn ion release analysis, cell proliferation (CCK-8), and ALP activity tests.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Statistical analysis was performed (mean ± SD, n=3), with p-values indicating significance. Data were normalized for protein content in ALP tests.
