The present disclosure relates to novel bone putty compositions comprising a silicate-containing preparation and bone and/or a bone surrogate material, and methods for making and using the same in healing damaged bone in a subject in need thereof. The present compositions may also promote healing of soft tissue contiguous with the treated damaged bone which is in contact with the present compositions. In some embodiments, the present compositions are stabilized, and contain silicate-containing particles having a mean diameter of from about 1 to about 20 nm. Such particles may impart unique healing characteristics to the composition, both with respect to the damaged bone and the surrounding soft tissue. The present compositions and methods may find particular utility in the oral cavity of the subject.

The present disclosure provides a method for preparing an artificial ligament with high tensile durability, anti-fatigue, low creep and stress relaxation rate, the artificial ligament prepared therefrom, and a fiber collection platform by interfacial polyelectrolyte complexation spinning. The present disclosure uses interfacial polyelectrolyte complexation spinning process, and equips with the self-designed fiber collection machine to produce micron and millimeter-scale fibers. Combing through the weaving method, it is made into a tailor-made artificial substitute, which is applied to artificial ligaments with high tensile strength and durability, anti-fatigue, and low creep and stress relaxation rate.

Injectable composition in hydrogel form, comprising water, hyaluronic acid, and nicotinamide for inhibiting the action of the hyaluronidase in the injected condition of the composition.
