Abstract (original English)
Addressing periprosthetic infections, which present significant healing challenges that often require revision surgeries, necessitates the development of novel antibacterial materials and implants. Current research focuses on creating materials that hinder bacterial adhesion, colonization, and proliferation in surrounding tissues. Boron (B)-containing compounds are known for their antibacterial properties and potential in bone metabolism for regenerative medicine. In this study, we synthesized B-containing tricalcium phosphate (0.3B-TCP) with 1.1 wt.% B content via precipitation from aqueous solutions and sintering at 1100 °C. X-ray diffraction confirmed the ceramic's primary crystalline phase as β-TCP, with B evenly distributed according to energy-dispersive spectroscopy data. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) data verified stable paramagnetic borate anions, indicating successful BO 3 3- substitution for phosphate groups. The microstructural properties of 0.3B-TCP ceramic were assessed before and after soaking in a saline solution. Its bending strength was approximately 30 MPa, and its porosity was about 33%. 0.3B-TCP ceramic demonstrated significant antimicrobial efficacy against various bacterial strains and a fungus. Cytotoxicity evaluation using equine adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells and osteogenic differentiation assessment were conducted. The combinatio
