Summary: This study investigated the osteoinductive, osteoconductive, and anti-infective efficacy of HACaS+G for the treatment of infected non-unions. The results showed that HACaS+G had osteoinductive properties, but did not provide additional benefits in terms of osteoconduction and mechanical bone stability for infected non-unions, especially those with segmental bone defects.

Summary: This meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of bone substitute materials (BSM) in opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) for knee osteoarthritis. The findings suggest that BSM combined with locking plate techniques is a safe and efficient alternative option for osteotomy gaps larger than 10 mm. However, due to the heterogeneity and low quality of the included studies, the results should be interpreted with caution.

Summary: Non-unions present a challenge to trauma surgeons due to limited treatment options, long duration, and unsatisfactory outcomes. Alternative therapeutic strategies are desirable to improve outcomes. This study shows that bone graft substitutes have osteoinductive and osteoconductive effects, while systemic PTH administration can induce vascularization, potentially serving as a synergistic co-treatment with bone graft substitutes.

Summary: This study investigates the biodegradation properties of pure magnesium with different iron contents and surprisingly finds that the iron impurity does not have a negative effect on the degradation of pure magnesium, even when the iron content exceeds the previous tolerance limit. Detailed microstructural analyses reveal that the severe local micro-galvanic corrosion caused by the iron impurity promotes the formation of a compact calcium-rich corrosion product layer, protecting the adjacent magnesium matrix from further corrosion.

Summary: Pure metals and their alloys are used to restore bone fractures. Biodegradable metals have emerged as promising candidates for fracture fixation devices. However, the main limitation for the application of magnesium alloys in biomedical devices is the hydrogen evolution resulting from their corrosion. This study assessed the effects of a low potential anodizing process on surface topography, electrochemical response, hydrogen evolution, and cell attachment of AZ91 alloys, and found that it could potentially be used in temporary implants.

Summary: Treating tibial plateau fractures with significant joint depression and metaphyseal comminution is challenging. Some authors suggest using bone graft/substitute to prevent collapse of the articular surface during reduction, but this can lead to complications. This study presents two cases of tibial plateau fractures with severe joint depression, one treated with additional bone substitute and the other without, showing good final outcomes. Using periarticular rafting constructs without bone graft may be a valid option for treating joint depression in tibial plateau fractures, avoiding the morbidity associated with bone graft/substitutes.

Summary: Piezoelectric silicon carbide (SiC) has been considered for various applications due to its superior properties. However, its brittleness and unsatisfactory piezoelectric response have limited its use. In this study, PVDF/6H-SiC composite fiber films were fabricated and used for assembling high-performance energy harvesters and sensors. The results showed significant improvements in piezoelectric response and sensitivity compared to pure PVDF films. First-principles calculation and finite element analysis confirmed the effect of SiC nanoparticles on the composite film.

Summary: Photocatalytic technology utilizing sunlight as a driving force can convert solar energy into other energy sources for storage and use. CdS, as a typical reducing semiconductor, has attracted attention in photocatalysis due to its suitable bandgap and strong reducing ability. However, the photocatalytic performance of CdS is limited by carrier recombination and photocorrosion. Therefore, CdS has been widely developed as a reducing photocatalyst in constructing S-scheme heterojunctions to overcome these limitations.

Summary: A novel compliant spinal fixation based on compliant mechanisms is designed to effectively reduce stress-shielding effect and adjacent segment degeneration (ASD), but it requires high properties of the used materials. Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs), as young biomaterials, demonstrate excellent comprehensive properties, making them attractive for compliant spinal fixation. In this study, the large deflection deformation behaviors of Zr61Ti2Cu25Al12 (at.%, ZT1) BMG beam were systematically investigated, including elastic, yielding, and plastic deformations. The theoretical nonlinear analytical solution curve predicts the load-deflection relation within the elastic deformation regime and assists in capturing the yielding event, serving as a powerful design tool for engineers. To accurately capture the beginning of the yielding event in biomedical implant applications, the concept of bending proof strength (sigma p,0.05%) with tiny permanent strain of 0.05% was proposed and determined, which is significant for setting the allowable operating limits of the basic flexible elements. The plastic deformation driven by the bending moment can be classified into two stages: the initial stage characterized by nucleation and intense interaction of shear bands, and the second stage dominated by the progressive propagation of shear bands and emergence of shear offsets. The plasticity of BMG beam structures depends on the BMG's inherent plastic zone size (rp), and when the half beam thickness is less than that of rp, the plastic deformation of BMGs behaves in a stable manner, effectively serving as the margin of safety.

Summary: The bainite transformation in medium Mn steels has been experimentally and theoretically studied, and it has been found that the transformation kinetics is slow. However, the introduction of dislocations can significantly accelerate the transformation rate. A new "carbon depletion mechanism" is proposed to explain the role of dislocations in the acceleration of bainite transformation, and a physical model is developed to quantitatively understand the kinetics of bainite transformation.

Summary: Fe-based metallic glasses are promising materials in the fields of advanced magnetism and sensors. This study proposes a novel approach to tailor the amorphous structure through liquid-liquid phase transition, and provides insights into the correlation between structural disorder and magnetic order. The results show that the liquid-liquid phase transition can induce more locally ordered nanodomains, leading to stronger exchange interactions and increased saturation magnetization. The increased local heterogeneity also enhances magnetic anisotropy, resulting in a better stress-impedance effect.

Summary: Metal-organic frameworks derived composites are promising EMW absorbers. Cation substitution can improve their absorption performance by regulating morphology and atomic space occupation. However, the mechanisms of how cation substitution affects EMW absorption performance are still not well understood. In this study, imidazolic MOFs were fabricated and tailored by cation substitution strategy to prepare porous composites. The samples showed optimal reflection loss and effective absorption bandwidth values under low filling rate and thin thickness conditions. The intercoupling between multiple atoms and the porous structure introduced by cation substitution contribute to the improved absorption performance.
