example 1

[0047] Example 1: Surface Functionalization Procedure

[0048] ZTA samples ( CeramTec, GmbH, Plochingen, Germany) was machined from a femoral head with a diameter of 36 mm (production year: 2014). Samples (10 x 10 mm with a thickness of 3 mm) were cut using a low speed diamond-coated blade and finely polished to a roughness of about ten to twenty nanometers.

[0049] Laser patterning procedure

[0050] The device used for laser patterning of the ZTA surface was a VisionLWI V ERGO-workstation equipped with a Nd:YAG laser (wavelength 1064 nm). The focus distance, nominal maximum power and burst energy were set to 250mm, 17kW and 70J, respectively, while the applied potential and discharge time were adjusted in the range of 160-500V and 1-20 milliseconds, respectively. The laser patterning workstation was equipped with a gas nozzle connected to an argon source at 1.2 atm to locally limit the presence of oxygen at the location of the laser impingement. A motorized x-y stage...

[0054] Example 2: Surface Characterization Method

[0055] Characterization was performed with a confocal scanning laser microscope capable of obtaining high-resolution optical images with depth selectivity (Laser Microscopy 3D and Profilometry, Keyence, VKx200 series, Osaka, Japan). Surface morphology of the textured ZTA surface before and after powder mixture filling. All images were collected using 20x magnification. Si was obtained using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) (JSM-700 1F, Japan Electron Optics Laboratory, Tokyo, Japan (JEOL, Tokyo, Japan)). 3 N 4 High-resolution images and chemical composition maps of the coated substrates.

[0056] FTIR spectra were obtained using a high sensitivity spectrometer (Spectrum 100FT-IR Spotlight400, Perkin-Elmer Inc., Waltham, MA, USA). The spectral resolution of this device is 0.4cm -1 . The average FTIR spectrum for each substrate was calculated from eight independent measure...

[0057] Example 3: Cell Culture and Bioassays

[0058] SaOS-2 human osteosarcoma cells were incubated in 4.5g / L glucose DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (D-glucose, L-glutamine, phenol red and sodium pyruvate; Half Well Co., Ltd. (Nacalai Tesque, Kyoto, Japan). Kyoto, Japan)) for cultivation and incubation. Cells were then propagated in petri dishes at 37°C for 24 hours. After adjusting the final cell concentration to 5 × 10 5 After cells / ml, the cultured cells were deposited on Si that had been previously sterilized by exposure to UV light 3 N 4 On the surface of coated and uncoated ZTA substrates (n=3 for each type). By seeding the cells in osteogenic medium (DMEM supplemented with 50 μg / mL ascorbic acid, 10 mM β-glycerophosphate, 100 mM hydrocortisone, and about 10% fetal bovine calf serum), and then warming the samples at 37° C. After 7 days of incubation, bone conduction tests were performed. During one week of incubation, the medium was changed twice. ...

Abstract

Disclosed herein are methods for functionalizing a surface of a biomedical implant. The biomedical implant may be a zirconia toughened alumina implant surface functionalized with silicon nitride powder to promote osteogenesis.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to methods of surface functionalizing biomedical implants with silicon nitride. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to promoting osteogenesis using zirconia-toughened alumina implants surface-functionalized with silicon nitride. Background technique [0002] During bone formation, an organic matrix (ie, primarily type I collagen) is synthesized by cells that secrete various glycoproteins, genetic markers, and bone sialoproteins. A favorable environment for cellular apatite mineralization depends on local supersaturation of extracellular fluid due to osteoblast alkaline phosphatase (ALP), pyrophosphatase activity, and osteocalcin production. ALP increases phosphate concentration by cleaving phosphate groups; pyrophosphatase degrades pyrophosphate that inhibits phosphate cleavage; and osteocalcin binds calcium. Therefore, the surface chemistry of orthopedic implants designed to promote bone formation at the ...
