238 Surface Modication of Magnesium and its Alloys for Biomedical Applications
7.3.1.2 Biomimetic treatment
This method refers to immersing the Mg-based metals in a Ca and P coexisting solu­tion, especially the simulated body uid (SBF) under the near-physiological condition, in which CaP-containing coating will be formed. Lorenz et al. (Lorenz et al., 2009) soaked pure Mg (99.9% purity) in the MeSBF, leading to the formation of mixed Ca/Mg-phosphate layers on the surface, with thickness of tens of micrometers. The roughness was strongly increased, which led to a strongly hydrophilic behavior of the surface. However, the increase of pH for such treated Mg was even larger than the polished one. The density of human HeLa cells cultured on the treated sample was signicantly higher than that on the polished one. However, the cell spreading was poor on the treated sample, and the actin cytoskeleton was not well formed. Furthermore, no lopodia formati on could be detected.
In that study, it was also shown that the treated sample facilitated the cell adhesion initially. However, the poor protection of the layer limited the long-term survival of the cells. Keim et al. (Keim, Brunner, Fabry, & Virtanen, 2011) soaked the above surface-modied pure Mg in 1 M NaOH at room temperature for 24 h or heat-treated it in a steam for 1 h to improve the protective ability of the surface. The treatments led to reductions of the cell densities. They also treated the pure Mg by soaking it in a cell culture medium, and a carbon-rich layer was formed. The surface morphology was similar to the layer formed in SBF, and the corrosion protection ability of the surface layer was 10 times higher than that formed in the SBF. The density of cells growing for 24 h on the Mg samples pretreated in the cell culture medium was greatly increased compared with the SBF-treated samples. Xu et al. (Xu et al., 2009)preparedflake- like CaHPO Mg alloy by immersing the alloy in a solution based on calcium dihydro phosphate. The number of L929 cells on the coated Mg sample was signicantly larger than that on the uncoated Mg sample, indicating that the surface of coated Mg alloy is better for cell attachment, growth, and proliferation. Geng et al. (Geng, Tan, Jin, Yang, &
Yang, 2009) introduced b-TCP coating on the pure Mg by biomimetic method.
MG63 cells grew well on the coating, while the bare Mg showed some cell toxicity.

7.3.1.3 Acid treatment
The acid treatment is to immerse the Mg-based metals in an acidic solution, forming a protective layer through chemical reactions. Ye et al. (Ye, Zheng, Wang, Xi, & Li,
2012) modied WE43 Mg allo y in phytic acid with different pH values. The corrosion
resistance of the alloy was increased. All the modied groups showed better cell viability than the unmodied control. The coating with highest corrosion resistance behaved the best cell compatibility and the lowest hemolytic potential. Another commonly used acid for the treatment is hydrouoric acid (Lozano et al., 2013;
Mao, Yuan, Niu, Zong, & Ding, 2013; Seitz, Eier, Stahl, Kietzmann, & Bach,
2012). Seitz et al. (Seitz et al., 2012) studied the cell compatibility of MgNd2 alloy
with and without hydrouoric acid treatment. The cell viability of murine broblasts or keratinocytes was not signicantly affected by the bare and the treated MgNd2 extracts. However, the cell proliferation of murine broblasts and keratinocytes

seemed to be inhibited by the bare alloy, but not in the case of the treated one. Lozano (Lozano et al., 2013) examined the cell compatibility of a hydrouoric acid-treated AZ31 Mg alloy (AZ31HF) to the MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts and L929 broblasts. The AZ31HF hindered the proliferation of the two cell lines. The cell viability of the two cell lines was not affected by the AZ31HF. The respiratory activity rates of cell lines cultured with the AZ31 and the AZ31HF were similar. However, the AZ31HF induced a harmful effect on the plasma membrane of MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts. The alka­line phosphatase (ALP) expression of MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts was enhanced by the interaction with AZ31HF. Meanwhile, the study of macrophages indicated that the AZ31HF might lead to an undesirable inammatory response in the body. Mao et al. (Mao et al., 2013) studied the cell- and hemo-comp atibility of a hydrouoric acid-treated Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr alloy. The results showed that the treated alloy showed no cytotoxicity to the EA.hy 926 cells. Although the hemolysis ratio of alloy could be reduced by the HF treatment, it still did not meet the requirement for implant materials. The treated alloy showed a good anti-platelets adhesion performance.
7.3.1.4 Cathodic electrodeposition
This method could fabricate a CaP coating on Mg-based metals. The solution is similar to that used in the biomimetic method. Differently, this method worked under the assistance of electric eld. Guan et al. (Guan et al., 2012) fabricated an HA coating on a Mg-4.0Zn-1.0Ca-0.6Zr alloy. The hemolysis ratio of both HA-coated and uncoated alloy samples was lower than 5%, which meets the requirement for implant materials. The L929 broblasts cultured with extracts of the HA-coated samples had slightly greater relative growth rate (RGR%) than those cultured with the uncoated sample extract. Li et al. (Li, Song et al., 2010) studied the in vitro response of human bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) to a uoridated hydroxyapatite coated biodegrad­able Mg-Zn alloy. The human BMSCs grew well on the sample, and the cell viability (MTT results) in the coated sample group was signicantly higher than that in the uncoated group after 2 and 3 days of cultivation. The ALP activity of the coated group was lower than that of the uncoated group at 7 days. After longer time of incubation, higher ALP activity for the coated group was shown. The real time polymerase chain reaction test showed that expression levels of main differentiation markers were signif­icantly increased for the coated group.
7.3.1.5 Microarc oxidation
In the MAO treatment, the samples are immersed in an electrolyte bath, and a high bipolar pulse voltage is applied on the sampleeelectrolyte interface. MAO coatings can be formed on Mg-based metals through the chemical reaction under high pressure and in a high-temperature environment. MAO became the most likely commercially applicable protection method for Mg-based metals in the postchromate coating era (Hornberger, Virtanen, & Boccaccini, 2012). Yang et al. (Yang et al., 2013) evaluated the biocompatibility/bioactivity of a forsterite-containing MAO coating on ZK60 Mg alloy. It was found that the cell adhesion, spreading, and viability on the MAO coating
240 Surface Modication of Magnesium and its Alloys for Biomedical Applications
were obviously better than those on the bare ZK60 alloy. The intracellular ALP activ­ity of murine BMSCs cultured with the MAO-coated Mg alloy extract was signi­cantly higher than that with the bare alloy extract. Gu et al. (Gu et al., 2011 ) prepared MAO coatings on a MgeCa alloy under three voltages (300, 360, and 400 V). The corrosion resistance of the alloy was increased by increasing the voltage. Both the indirect and direct cytotoxicity assays showed that the MAO coating greatly improved the cell compatibility of the MgeCa alloy. The number of MG63 cells on the 300-V treated sample was larger than those on the other two samples at day one and day three. However, the cell number on the 300-V treated sample decreased sharply at day ve, lower than those on the other two samples. The MG63 cells attached and extended well on the 360- and 400-V treated samples; however, cells on the 300-V treated sample showed unhealthy morphology, with round shapes. The ALP activity of MG63 cells was signicantly improved by the MAO coating, and an increased ALP activity was found by increasing the applied voltage. Lin et al. (Lin et al., 2014) prepared a strontium (Sr)-containing MAO coating on ZK60 Mg alloy. The viability of MC3T3-E1 cells and ALP activity of murine BMSCs were signicantly improved for the Sr-incorporated coating.
7.3.1.6 Other treatments
Xin et al. (Xin et al., 2009) fabricated a hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) coating on a die-cast AZ91 Mg alloy by direct current magnetron sputtering deposi­tion. The coating improved the corros ion resistance of the substrate by about two orders. The direct culture of hFOB 1.19 cells showed that the cells attached well on the coating and proliferated normally after both 1 and 3 days. No cells survived after seeding on the untreated alloy. Wong et al. (Wong et al., 2013) treated an AZ91 Mg alloy by means of dual aluminum and oxygen plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition (PIII&D). An alumina coating was formed on the surface of the alloy. The GFP osteoblasts grew well on the treated alloy. No cell growth was observed on the untreated sample. Li et al. (Li et al., 2013) prepared an amorphous Si coating on a WE43 Mg alloy by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). Higher cell viability exhibited for the coated sample compared with the uncoated sample. The hemolysis ratio reduced from 6.1% 0.4% for the uncoated sample to
2.9% 0.7% for the Si coated sample.
7.3.2 Organic coating
Recently, organic coated biodegradable Mg implants were extensively studied. The preparation methods include dip-coating, spray-coating, electrospinning, layer-by­layer, etc., which are shown in Figure 7.2. Li et al. (Li, Cao et al., 2010) fabricated PLGA coating on a Mg-6Zn alloy by the dip-coating method. The coated Mg alloy sam­ples showed signicantly enhanced ability of MC3T3-E1 cell attachment compared with the bare Mg alloy. Wong et al. ( Wong et al., 2010) fabricated two kinds of PCL coatings on an AZ91 Mg alloy: low porosity membrane (LPM) and high porosity membrane (HPM). The PCL coatings improved the corrosion resistance of the alloy

and decreased the release rate of Mg ions and the increase of pH caused by the alloy degradation. The cells cultured with the coated alloy extract after long-term immersion grew better than those cultured with the bare alloy extract. The PCL coating facilitated the cell adhesion and spreading. Abdal-hay et al. (Abdal-hay et al., 2012) prepared both porous and compact poly vinyl acetate (PVAc) coatings on an AM50 Mg alloy by the dip-coating method. The osteoblasts grew better on the coated sample than on the uncoated one. It was also shown that the porous coating would better facil­itate the osteoblastsattachment, spreading, and proliferation compared with the compact one. Later, Abdal-hay et al. (Abdal-hay et al., 2013c) prepared PLA coating on an AM50 alloy by the dip-coating and electrospinning techniques, respectively. The MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts grew well on both coatings. Xu et al. (Xu & Yamamoto,
2012) prepared four kinds of organic coatings with PCL and PLLA on pure Mg by
the spin-coating method. The four coatings all signicantly enhanced the SaOS-2 cell compatibility of the alloy. Ostrowski et al. (Ostrowski et al., 2013) fabricated three kinds of organic coatings on an AZ31 alloy through the layer-by-layer method. The coatings were with the sequence of ABCBCBCBCB, where A was PEI, C was poly allylamine hydrochloride (PAH), B was one of the 50:50 PLGA, 75:25 PLGA, or PCL. The coatings improved the adhesion, spreading, and proliferation of the MC3T3 preosteoblasts and human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Compared with the PCL coating, the two PLGA coatings showed better biocompatibility, although with inferior corrosion resistance.

7.3.3 Composite coating
Different types of inorganiceorganic composite coatings were developed most recently (Figure 7.3). The base material of the coating could be inorganic or organic depending on the fabrication method as shown in Figure 7.3. Sometimes, more than one method is needed to fabricate the composite coating. Hahn et al. (Hahn et al.,
2011) prepared an HA-chitosan composite coating on an AZ31 Mg alloy through
the aerosol deposition method. Compared with the HA coating, the spreading of the cells having multiple lopodia on the surface of the HA-chitosan composite coating was enhanced, implying that the biocompatibility was improved by the incorporation of chitosan. Abdal-hay et al. (Abdal-hay, Amna et al., 2013a) designed and fabri cated a porous HA/PCL hybrid nano-composite coating on an AM50 Mg alloy with either high or low porosity by the dipping method. Compared with the single PCL-coated alloy, the osteoblasts cultured in the extract of the alloy with the composite coating showed better cell proliferation, indicating that the incorporation of nano­hydroxyapatite particles (nHAp) into the polymer coating improved the biocompati­bility. Abdal-hay et al. (Abdal-hay et al., 2013b) also prepared HA-doped PLA porous coating on an AZ31B Mg alloy by the spraying method. The composite coating had better compatibility to the MC3T3 cells than the pristine polymer membrane. Zomoro­dian et al. (Zomorodian et al., 2013 ) fabricated PEI coatings with and wi thout nHAp on an AZ31 alloy via the dip-coating method. The results showed that the incorporation of HA improved the cytocompatibility of the PEI coating. With increase of the HA con­tent, the corrosion resistance and cytocompatibility of the coating decreased. Gao et al. (Gao et al., 2011) prepared a composite coating on the Mg-2Zn-0.24Ca alloy by MAO followed by a solegel process. The coating composed of an inner ceramic MAO layer and an outer propolis layer. The corrosion resistance of composite coating was higher than that of the single MAO coating. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) grew better on the composite coating than on the single MAO coating. The cell viability of MSCs was also higher in the composite coating group.

7.4 Biocompatibility of surface-modied magnesium­based metals e in vivo ndings
The in vitro cell tests could give a rst insight of the biocompatibility of surface­modied Mg-based metals. However, the in vitro results would not be totally consis­tent with the in vivo ones. In addition, the in vivo study could supply information about the tissue response, important organ alternation, and the long-term in vivo degradation prole of the implant. Thus the in vivo study is highly important for research on biode­gradable Mg-based metals. Many in vivo studies have been conducted, and some important works are introduced here.
7.4.1 Inorganic coatings
Witte et al. (Witte et al., 2010) implanted an LAE442 Mg alloy with magnesium uo­ride (MgF average corrosion rate of the implants during 12 weeks was 0.1 0.03 mm/year. No appearance of subcutaneous gas cavities was found. Neither infections nor other adverse host reactions were clinically observed during the postoperative follow-up. The blood examinations were all in the physiological range for rabbits. The histopa­thology of the synovial tissue in the 2-week group showed granular cell inltration in all cases, but in one case, a brotic tissue formation with local area of cartilage met a­plasia was observed. In the 4-week group, only one case of inammatory cell inltra­tion was observ ed. All other sections of synovial tissue showed a regular histology without sign of pathological lesion. In two cases (one at 2 weeks and one at 4 weeks), minor focal mineralization was found in the kidneys, while the surrounding paren­chyma showed no sign of degenerative or inammatory change.
Thomann et al. (Thomann et al., 2010) implanted MgCa 0.8 pins with MgF ings into the tibia marrow cavities of adult female New Zealand white rabbits. The mean losses in volume after 3 and 6 months were 8.54% and 25.33%, respec­tively. A total of 20% and 31% of the slices showed new bone formation on the surfaces after 3 and 6 months, respectively, which was mostly in the form of trabecula (44%); however, clasps of bone (7%) also occurred, which affected only a part of the surface. Endosteal new bone formation was shown after 3 and 6 months, which reached a maximum after 3 mont hs of implantation. Periosteal new bone formation could be found in 20% and 9% of the evaluated slices after 3 and 6 months, respectively.
Sun et al. (Sun et al., 2013) studied the bioactivity of Mg-3Zn-0.8Zr alloys sepa­rately with MgF The mean losses in volumes of the bare, CaP-coated, and MgF 3 months were 37.02%, 22.67%, and 23.85%, respectively. No gas shadow was observed around any of the rods at 1, 2, or 3 months. No visible evidence of inam­mation was seen in the local bone tissue of any of the samples after 3 months. New bone trabeculas gradually formed around the implants. The arrangement of the newly formed bone trabecula around the MgF around the bare and CaP samples.

(BVF), and tissue mineral density (TMD) around the MgF2implant were the highest, followed by CaP and bare implants, at 3 months. The degradation of all the implants had no inuence on raising the serum Mg
2þ
or Ca2þlevels and the normal function of
the kidney and liver.
Xu et al. (Xu et al., 2009) evaluated the surface bioactivity of Mg-Mn-Zn alloy with CaP coating by implanting rods into the femoral shaft of Japanese big-ear rabbits. Compared with the bare Mg alloy implant, the newly formed osteoid tissue around the CaP-coated Mg alloy implant was compact and uniform after 4 weeks of implanta­tion. Unlike the bare Mg alloy, lymphocytic inltration and plasmablastic inltration were not seen around the coated alloy within the rst 2 weeks after implantation. At all time intervals (1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks), the CaP-coated alloy group showed higher BMP-2, TGF-b1, and PDGF expression levels than the bare alloy group. Xiao et al. (Xiao et al., 2013) implanted AZ60 Mg alloys with and without CaP coating into the femoral shafts of adult New Zealand rabbits. All rabbits healed well, and no difference was observed between the two groups. The mean weight of rabbits increased for the CaP­coated sample group, whereas it decreased for the uncoated sample group. Wang et al. (Wang et al., 2011) studied the in vivo performance of the Ca-decient HA-coated Mg­Zn-Ca alloy by implanting rods into rabbit femur bones. The in vivo degradation rate of the alloy was dramatically decreased by the coating. The broblastic band formation was suppressed, while new bone formation was promoted by the coating.
Fischerauer et al. (Fischerauer et al., 2013) implanted a spinel containing MAO-coated Mg-Zn-Ca-Mn alloy in the femoral mid-diaphyseal region of rats. No wound infection was observed after implantation. The MAO coating led to a delayed degradation process within the rst 4 weeks. The decreased gas formation of the coated implant within the rst 2 weeks minimized the callus formation in the cortical bone and allowed apposition of new bone along the MAO surface. No foreign-body reaction was visible at week four. At week 12, when the implants just fully corroded, a progressive bone restoration at the original drill-hole site was shown. Adjacent to the former implant interface, bone formation was exhibited, producing comparatively unstruc­tured woven bone with large osteocyte lacunae. After 24 weeks, histological ground sections showed notable tissue regeneration. The bone marrow was also completely restored. Adipocytes predominated in the cell line of the bone marrow. A few scattered bone tissue formations remained in the medullary cavity at that point.
Lin et al. (Lin, Tan, Wang et al., 2013 ) implanted a forsterite-containing MAO-coated ZK60 alloy into the rabbit femoral bones. Within the rst 2 weeks, the MAO coating could protect the alloy well. However, the protective ability was grad­ually lost. The bone tissue grew better around the coated alloy than around the bare one within 2 weeks. The morphology of the surrounding bone was altered by the hydrogen generation. The biological functionality of the surrounding tissues was not signi­cantly affected during the entire serving period of the implant. Qi et al. (Qi et al.,
2013) compared the bone response to the MAO-coated ZK60 alloy and PLLA with
a distal femur model of 3-month-old male SpragueeDawley mice. At 26 weeks post­operatively, direct bone contact between the Mg alloy implant and the new bone could be found. A new bone sheath in place of cancellous bone was observed in the bone marrow cavity, which did not differ from the cortical bone in microstructure. Fibrous

tissue was also observed partly around the alloy implant. A cavity was detected around the Mg alloy. The blood biochemical examination results showed that some values of GPT and GOT and all tested values of serum K were out of the recommended values. However, no signicant difference was observed.
Chen et al. (Chen et al., 2012) implanted a Mg-Zn-Ca alloy with MAO/ED composite coating into the femur shaft of an adult New Zealand white rabbit. The degradation rate of the coated samples was much smaller than that of the substrates. More newly formed bone was found around the coated samples at 8 and 18 weeks postoperatively.No lymphocytic and plasmablastic inammations were observed around the coated sample at 8 weeks. The coated sample was surrounded by enormous bone trabeculars and osteoclasts at 12 weeks. The bone trabeculars aligned compactly and osteoid tissues were connected around the coated samples at 18 weeks. At 50 weeks, when the coated implant was completely degraded, the newly formed bone was the same as the original bone tissue.
Badar et al. (Badar et al., 2013) inserted a pure Mg wire with a partially protective magnesium hydroxide layer into the lower tail artery of female BALB/c mice. At 4 weeks, the entire surface of the Mg wire was coated by an organic layer. In the tissue containing the Mg implant, no evidence of tissue necrosis, inammatory giant cells, or gas bubbles could be detected at any time. The histological analysis revealed that the pure Mg implant was essentially as tissue-compatible as the two conventional implant materials.
Wong et al. (Wong et al., 2013) implanted Al
-coated AZ91 Mg alloy implants,
2O3
which were fabricated by aluminum and oxygen plasma implantation method, into the lateral femur epicondyle of a 2-month-old female SpragueeDawley rat. The untreated implant showed signicantly less new bone formation than the treated one at 8 weeks postoperative. The serum Mg
2þ
concentrations in the rats implanted with either the untreated or plasma-treated implants were in the normal range of physiological Mg levels. New bone tissues formed around the implants and showed direct bone/implant contact. More new bone was formed around the plasma-treated implant, where osteoblast-like cells could be observed.
7.4.2 Organic coatings
Wong et al. (Wong et al., 2010) studied the in vivo biocompatibility of the PCL-coated AZ91 Mg alloy. The low porosity membrane (LPM) owned a better in vivo corrosion resistance than that of the high porosity membrane (HPM). No inammation or necro­sis around the implants was observ ed. All the samples showed direct contact with the newly form ed bone. The uncoated sample had the least amoun t of new bone formation, and the polymer-coated samples showed the new bone volume in order of LPM > HPM. The detected serum Mg Mg levels. Wang et al. (Wang et al., 2013) implanted uncoated, PCL-coated, and PTMC-coated Mg-Zn-Mn wires subcutaneously in rats. During 16 weeks of implan­tation, the uncoated, PCL-coated, and PTMC-coated samples neither induced any local toxic effect nor caused any obvious local response of the tissue. From macroscopic examination, no signicant signs of inammation, encapsulation, hemorrhage, necrosis, or discoloration were observed. A few differences between the

levels were within the normal range of physiological

PCL-coated group and the other two groups were detected from microscopic examination. For the uncoated and PTMC-coated samp les, only a brocyte monolayer existed at the implantetissue interface. For the PCL-coated sample, there was a thicker brous capsule (w40 mm) and a small number of macrophages and plasmocytes in the surrounding region, with a slight inammation response. No gas bubbles were observed in the surrounding tissue by eye survey or histological analysis in any samples. Overall, the PTMC-coated sample displayed an excellent tissue response.
7.5 Inuencing factors on the biocompatibility of the surface-modied magnesium-based metals
7.5.1 Morphology, composition, and physicochemical
properties of the surface
As presented in the studies on other biomaterials (Costa et al., 2013; Huebsch et al.,
2010; Mei et al., 2010; Minagar, Wang, Berndt, Ivanova, & Wen, 2013; Phillips, Petrie, Creighton, & Garcia, 2010; Tan & Teoh, 2007), the morphology, composition,
and physicochemical properties of the surface coating on biodegradable Mg-based metals will greatly affect their initial surface biocompatibilities. In addition, the degra­dation products, which depend on the compositions of the modied layers, will also have inuences on the biocompatibility, as discussed in Section 7.2.
Lorenz et al. (Lorenz et al., 2009) showed that the surface chemistry (presences of Ca and P on the surfa ce) and/or surface roughness of coatings on pure Mg greatly inu­enced the initial cell adhesion. Seyfoori et al. (Seyfoori, Mirdamadi, Mehrjoo, &
Khavandi, 2013) demonstrated that a phosphate coating with a rougher surface than
the silicate coating on the AZ31 Mg alloy could provide better cell adhesion for oste­oblastic cells. In the study by Abdal-hay et al. (Abdal-hay et al., 2012), it was found that the porous PVAc organic coating on AM50 Mg alloy had a better biocompatibility than the compact one. They also prepared PLA coatings with two different morphol­ogies on AM50 alloy by electrospinning and dip-coating methods, respectively. The results showed that with a prolonging of the incubation time, the large surface area of the coated samples with wide nano-ber membranes presented more cell adhesion and proliferation (Abdal-hay et al., 2013c).
Ostrowski et al. (Ostrowski et al., 2013) showed that even with lower corrosion resistance, the PLLA coating on AZ31 Mg alloy better facilitated the growth of oste­oblastic cells and hMSCs than the PCL coated alloy. Liu et al. (Liu et al., 2013) prepared the anticorrosive silane coatings with and without heparin on an AZ31 alloy. The platelet adhesion test demonstrated a signicantly lower platelet adhesion for the silane-heparin coating compared with the single silane coating. Hahn et al. (Hahn et al.,
2011) demonstrated that the incorporation of chitosan into an HA coating on an AZ31
alloy could improve the biocompatibility of the coating. Abdal-hay et al. (Abdal-hay,
Amna et al., 2013a) showed that the incorporation of nHAp within the polymer matrix
on AM50 alloy could improve the cell viability and survival in comparison with the plain PCL coating. Similar results were obtained in a study on HA/PLA composite

coating on AZ31 alloy (Abdal-hay et al., 2013b). Furthermore, Zomorodian et al. (Zomorodian et al., 2013) found that the HA addition into the PEI coating on AZ31 alloy enhanced the cellular response to the coating. Lin et al. (Lin et al., 2014) altered phosphate MAO coating by incorporating Sr. The Sr-containing coating demonstrated much better biocompatibility/bioactivity.
7.5.2 Degradation resistance of the surface modication layer
Many studies showed that the corrosion resistance of the coatings on Mg-based metals also greatly inuenced the initial surface biocompatibility (Gu et al., 2011; Keim et al.,
2011; Lorenz et al., 2009; Lu, Chen, Huang, & Yan, 2012; Wang et al., 2013; Wong et al., 2010; Xu & Yamamoto, 2012). The inuence of corrosion resistance could be attrib-
uted to the different control of the Mg tion of Mg substrate. Keim et al. (Keim et al., 2011) cultured HeLa cells on a glass and incubated them in the culture medium with increased Mg from 20 to 750 mg/L. The results showed that the Mg did not affect the cell adhesion and growth. Meanwhile, this study showed that the pro­tective ability of a coating was critical for enhancing the cell adhesion and spreading by way of reducing the hydrogen evolution and pH elevation. Seuss et al. (Seuss, Seuss,
Turhan, Fabry, & Virtanen, 2011) cultured HeLa cells on glass in culture mediums with
differentpH values. The results showed that the cell density decreased with increasingpH of the culture medium. However, a dramatic decline in cell density and spreading area was only observed at pH > 10. Wong et al. (Wong et al., 2010) showed the correlation between cell viability and the amount of released Mg ions. When the Mg ion concentra­tion was higher than 750 ppm, the extract showed an obvious cytotoxicity.
It needs to be mentioned that the corrosion protect ability of the modied layer is not necessary to be designed as high as possible to achieve the surface biocompati­bility. After all, the surface-modied Mg-based metals are developed as a kind of biodegradable implant material. The coating itself should be biodegradable with a proper rate. Some materials, such as titania and alumina, are not recommended as the coating materials although they have good biocompatibility as bioinert materials. In addition, if the Mg implant is not used for load-bearing application, a mild Mg release from the substrate, which is bene cial for the surrounding bone tissue, is acceptable. Furthermore, the surface biocompatibility could be better for an Mg implant with surface layer that has proper composition and topography than that with surface layer that has inferior composition and topography, even if the corrosion resistance of the former one is lower than that of the latter. All in all, the composition, topography, and corrosion resistance should be optimized simultaneously to achieve good surface biocompatibility of the surface-modied Mg implant.

The above two factors are related to the surface biocompatibility of the surface-modied Mg alloy. Once the surface layer fails and the substrate starts to be degraded, the average
