Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medical filler materials technology, specifically relating to a composite bone wax material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional bone wax, as a type of hemostatic material for bone cutting, is mainly composed of inert wax materials, such as paraffin softened sterile beeswax. It has a certain physical pressure hemostatic effect, but it does not have the ability to self-curing and cannot be absorbed by the human body. It interferes with the bone healing process, is not conducive to the formation of new bone, and is easily separated by blood when in contact with a moist bone wound surface, resulting in poor adhesion.
[0003] To address the problems of traditional bone wax, existing technologies have introduced inorganic salt materials, such as calcium sulfate, which can undergo a dissolution-recrystallization reaction with body fluids, transforming from a malleable state into a hard solid and achieving self-curing. However, calcium sulfate tends to create a localized acidic environment during curing, which is detrimental to new bone formation, and it has poor adhesion in continuous bleeding environments, making it prone to detachment.
[0004] Another approach involves incorporating high-molecular-weight polymers, such as polyethylene glycol, chitosan, and gelatin, to enhance adhesion. While this can improve the contact stability between the material and tissue to some extent, the adhesion effect remains unsatisfactory in continuous bleeding environments. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a composite bone wax material, its preparation method, and its application. The composite bone wax material provided by this invention has good adhesion and is beneficial to the formation of new bone.

[0015] The present invention also provides the application of the composite bone wax material described in the above technical solution or the composite bone wax material prepared according to the preparation method described in the above technical solution in the preparation of medical filler materials.
[0016] This invention provides a composite bone wax material, comprising the following components by mass: 1-10 parts magnesium oxide, 1-10 parts potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 1-5 parts pregelatinized starch, and 1-10 parts polyethylene glycol; wherein the mass ratio of magnesium oxide to potassium dihydrogen phosphate is (1-5):1. In the composite bone wax material provided by this invention, magnesium oxide and potassium dihydrogen phosphate react in a body fluid environment to generate stable magnesium phosphate and potassium magnesium phosphate hydrate crystals, achieving rapid self-curing and improving adhesion. By limiting the mass ratio of magnesium oxide to potassium dihydrogen phosphate, an alkaline environment can be formed while achieving rapid self-curing and ensuring mechanical strength, which is beneficial for inducing new bone formation. Pregelatinized starch provides thickening and gelling effects, improving the material's handling properties and adhesion. Polyethylene glycol, as a reaction medium, imparts flexibility, can adjust the self-curing rate, and further improves adhesion. Experimental results show that when the composite bone wax material prepared in this invention is applied to the surface of cortical bone and subjected to in vitro adhesion experiments under simulated body fluid flow conditions, the adhesion state of the material remains unchanged after 5 minutes. When the composite bone wax material prepared in this invention is immersed in simulated body fluid and subjected to shaking treatment on a shaker for 12 hours, it still maintains its original shape and has good adhesion properties. The composite bone wax material prepared in this invention can immediately stop bleeding in the humeral defect area of rats. After 4 and 8 weeks of treatment for filling skull defects in rats, the area of new bone formation in rats increased, demonstrating good osteogenic capacity. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The present invention provides a composite bone wax material, comprising the following components by mass: 1-10 parts of magnesium oxide, 1-10 parts of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 1-5 parts of pregelatinized starch and 1-10 parts of polyethylene glycol; wherein the mass ratio of magnesium oxide to potassium dihydrogen phosphate is (1-5):1.
[0019] The composite bone wax material provided by this invention comprises 1 to 10 parts, preferably 3 to 7 parts, of polyethylene glycol by weight. In one embodiment of this invention, the polyethylene glycol may specifically be 1 part, 3 parts, 4 parts, 5 parts, 6 parts, 7 parts, or 10 parts. In this invention, polyethylene glycol serves as the reaction medium for magnesium oxide and potassium dihydrogen phosphate, which can adjust the self-curing rate and impart suitable flexibility to the composite bone wax material, improving its handling performance. In a continuously bleeding body fluid environment, it is beneficial to improve the adhesion of the composite bone wax material.
[0020] In this invention, the polyethylene glycol is preferably one or more polyethylene glycols with a number average molecular weight of 300 to 5000. In embodiments of this invention, the polyethylene glycol may specifically be polyethylene glycol with a molecular weight of 400 and 1500 in a mass ratio of 1:4, polyethylene glycol with a molecular weight of 400 and polyethylene glycol with a molecular weight of 1500, or polyethylene glycol with a molecular weight of 400 and 5000 in a mass ratio of 1:4. In this invention, selecting polyethylene glycol with a number average molecular weight within the above-mentioned range allows for the formation of a flexible yet stable matrix structure, enabling the bone wax to maintain good adhesion and sealing effects underwater, while simultaneously achieving suitable biodegradability, creating a favorable microenvironment for subsequent bone healing.
[0021] The composite bone wax material provided by this invention comprises 1 to 10 parts magnesium oxide, preferably 3 to 10 parts, based on a mass fraction of 1 to 10 parts of polyethylene glycol. In one embodiment of this invention, the magnesium oxide may specifically be 1 part, 3 parts, 5 parts, 6 parts, 7 parts, or 10 parts. In this invention, by controlling the amount of magnesium oxide within the above range, the self-curing reaction rate and acidity / alkalinity can be regulated. Insufficient magnesium oxide will result in a slow self-curing rate and acidity, while excessive magnesium oxide will excessively increase the alkalinity of the composite bone wax material. Both insufficient and excessive amounts are detrimental to biocompatibility.
[0022] In this invention, the magnesium oxide is preferably lightly calcined magnesium oxide and / or activated magnesium oxide, more preferably activated magnesium oxide. Activated magnesium oxide has a high specific surface area and high reactivity, which facilitates a thorough self-curing reaction after contact with potassium dihydrogen phosphate, achieving rapid self-curing.
[0023] Based on 1 to 10 parts by mass of polyethylene glycol, the raw materials of the composite bone wax material provided by the present invention include 1 to 10 parts of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, more preferably 1 to 5 parts. As one embodiment of the present invention, the potassium dihydrogen phosphate can specifically be 1 part, 3 parts, 4 parts, 5 parts, or 7 parts. In the present invention, controlling the amount of potassium dihydrogen phosphate within the above range can regulate the self-curing reaction rate and acidity / alkalinity. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate can increase the crystal network density, increase the hardness of the composite bone wax material, and ensure mechanical strength. However, excessive use will lead to acidity, which is detrimental to biocompatibility and reduces plasticity; insufficient use will result in a slow self-curing rate and insufficient mechanical strength after curing.
[0024] In this invention, the mass ratio of magnesium oxide to potassium dihydrogen phosphate is (1~5):1, preferably (1~3):1. In this invention, magnesium oxide and potassium dihydrogen phosphate undergo a self-curing reaction to generate MgKPO4·6H2O and / or Mg3(PO4)2 crystal structures. By controlling the mass ratio of magnesium oxide to potassium dihydrogen phosphate within the above range, it is beneficial to increase the rate of the self-curing reaction. The alkalinity of the composite bone wax material is mainly contributed by magnesium oxide. By controlling the mass ratio of magnesium oxide to potassium dihydrogen phosphate within the above range, an alkaline environment can be formed while achieving rapid self-curing, thereby improving the biocompatibility of the material and promoting the formation of new bone.
[0025] The composite bone wax material provided by this invention comprises 1 to 5 parts, preferably 2 to 5 parts, of pregelatinized starch, based on 1 to 10 parts by weight of polyethylene glycol. In one embodiment of this invention, the pregelatinized starch may specifically be 2, 3, 4, or 5 parts. In this invention, the pregelatinized starch provides thickening and gelling effects, improving the handling properties of the composite bone wax material, enhancing its plasticity, and increasing its adhesion.
[0026] In this invention, the pregelatinized starch is preferably obtained by heating and gelatinizing starch followed by drying. Before heating, the starch is preferably mixed with water at a mass ratio of 1:5. The gelatinization condition is preferably boiling, and after gelatinization, it is preferably cooled to room temperature. The starch is preferably one or more of corn starch, tapioca starch, and sorghum starch. Pregelatinized starch has good hydrophilicity and gelatinization properties, and can quickly form a viscous system upon contact with water or body fluids, which can improve the plasticity, molding stability, and adhesion of composite bone wax materials. The porous structure and water-absorbing swelling properties of pregelatinized starch can absorb water from the blood, concentrate platelets and clotting factors, and accelerate the coagulation process. Pregelatinized starch has excellent biocompatibility, which can reduce the irritation of bone wax to surrounding tissues and reduce inflammatory responses.
[0027] Based on 1-10 parts by weight of polyethylene glycol, the raw materials of the composite bone wax material provided by the present invention preferably further include 0.004-0.175 parts of surfactant and / or pH buffer, more preferably 0.004-0.175 parts of surfactant and pH buffer. The surfactant is preferably Tween-80, Pluronic F68, or lecithin; the pH buffer is preferably Na2HPO4 (0.5-2 wt%), Tris (0.05-0.5 M), or sodium citrate (0.1-1 wt%). The surfactant can effectively reduce surface tension and improve powder dispersion and paste uniformity; the pH buffer can regulate the pH of the system (maintaining it within the range of 7.0-7.4) and slow down the acid-base reaction rate, thereby improving the controllability of the self-curing process and the biocompatibility of the material, further improving the operational performance and biocompatibility of the composite bone wax material.
[0028] The composite bone wax material provided by this invention can quickly achieve self-curing, has good handling performance and plasticity, good molding stability, and good adhesion in a continuously bleeding body fluid environment; it forms an alkaline environment, which improves the biocompatibility of the material and is conducive to the formation of new bone.
[0029] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the composite bone wax material described in the above technical solution, comprising the following steps: after mixing all raw materials evenly, pressing them into a mold and sealing them for storage.
[0030] The present invention does not have any particular limitation on the source of the raw materials used; they can be commercially available or prepared according to methods known in the art.
[0031] This invention involves uniformly mixing all raw materials. There are no particular limitations on the mixing method for all raw materials; uniform mixing is sufficient. In one embodiment, the mixing can be performed using a shaker or a ball mill. In another embodiment, the mixing is carried out in a mortar and pestle until no noticeable particles remain. In yet another embodiment, the mixing can be performed at room temperature or at a temperature below 60°C. In a third embodiment, the mixing is first performed at room temperature and then heated to 60°C.
[0032] In this invention, all raw materials are mixed evenly, then pressed into a mold and sealed for storage. The mold is preferably an aluminum foil tube or a plastic tube.

[0034] The present invention also provides the application of the composite bone wax material described in the above technical solution or the composite bone wax material prepared according to the preparation method described in the above technical solution in the preparation of medical filler materials.

Figure 2 It can be seen that the composite bone wax material of this application has good workability and strong plasticity.
[0054] Take 2g of the composite bone wax material prepared in Example 1, knead it by hand for 30s at room temperature (22~25℃) until it becomes spherical, and observe its morphology after soaking in deionized water for 12h.

[0056] Take 2g of the composite bone wax material prepared in Example 1 and 2g of the traditional bone wax material (Johnson & Johnson W810T bone wax: composed of 86% beeswax, 4% medical petrolatum and 10% soybean oil), and knead them by hand for 30s until they become spherical at room temperature (22~25℃). Apply them to the surface of cortical bone and conduct an in vitro adhesion experiment under simulated body fluid (SBF, pH=7.4±0.1) flow conditions. Record the changes in the adhesion state of the bone wax material within 5 minutes using an electronic timer to analyze its adhesion stability in the simulated body fluid environment.

The left image shows the in vitro adhesion test process, and the right image shows the adhesion state of the material after 5 minutes. Figure 4 As can be seen, the composite bone wax material prepared in Example 1 of this application was not dispersed by the simulated body fluid. Compared with traditional bone wax materials, the composite bone wax material of this application exhibits good adhesion and structural stability.
[0058] The composite bone wax material prepared in Example 1 was placed in a centrifuge tube at a solid-liquid ratio of 0.05 g / mL, and pre-prepared simulated body fluid (SBF, pH=7.4±0.1) was added. The centrifuge tube was sealed and stored in a 37°C constant temperature oven. After soaking for 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 14 days, the centrifuge tube was removed, and the pH value of the soaking solution was measured using a calibrated pH meter. The measurement data were recorded.

Figure 6 It can be seen that the composite bone wax material prepared in the embodiment of the present invention still maintains its original shape after being shaken on a shaker for 12 hours, and has good adhesion properties; the composite bone wax material prepared in the comparative example cannot maintain its original shape after being shaken on a shaker for 12 hours, and has poor adhesion properties.
[0062] Rats were randomly divided into three groups: Control group (blank control), Bone wax group (traditional bone wax material), and MPP group (composite bone wax material prepared in Example 1), with 3 rats in each group. Before the experiment, several sterile dry cotton balls were weighed using an electronic balance and their initial mass was recorded as M0. All rats were anesthetized using a portable multi-channel small animal anesthesia machine. After the rats entered a deep anesthesia state, the hair in the femur area was removed, and an incision of about 3 cm was made on the skin of the outer thighs of both sides of the rat. The muscles were bluntly dissected until the femur was completely exposed. Then, a non-penetrating hole with a diameter of 2 mm was made in both femurs using a ball-shaped bone burr to establish a femoral hemorrhage model. The Control group received no treatment. The Bone wax group and MPP group had their respective materials filled into the defects for hemostasis. During the bleeding process, the oozing blood was wiped away with pre-weighed dry cotton balls. When no more blood oozed from the femoral defect, wiping was stopped, and the mass of the cotton balls was weighed again and recorded as M1. The bleeding volume M in each group was calculated according to the formula M=M1-M0. By comparing the bleeding volume M values of each group, the hemostatic effect of the composite bone wax material (MPP) prepared in Example 1 and the traditional bone wax material (Bone wax) in the femoral defect model can be evaluated.

Figure 8 The graph shows the blood loss of the blank control group, traditional bone wax material, and the composite bone wax material prepared in Example 1 of this invention when used for hemostasis in the femoral defect area of rats. Figure 8 The blood loss in the blank control group, the traditional bone wax material, and the rat defect area hemostasis method of Example 1 of this invention were 0.63±0.07g, 0.05±0.01g, and 0.02±0.01g, respectively. Figure 8 It can be seen that the hemostatic effect of the composite bone wax prepared in Example 1 of the present invention is significantly better than that of traditional bone wax materials.
[0064] Rats were randomly divided into three groups: Control group (blank control), Bone wax group (traditional bone wax material), and MPP group (composite bone wax material prepared in Example 1), with 4 rats in each group. All rats were anesthetized using a portable multi-channel animal anesthesia machine. After hair removal and local disinfection, a longitudinal incision of about 2 cm was made at the midline of the skull, and the skin, flesh, and periosteum were bluntly separated to the surface of the skull. Then, two holes with a diameter of 5 mm were drilled in the skull to establish a rat skull defect model. The defect area in the Control group was not filled, while the defect areas in the Bone wax group and MPP group were filled with the corresponding materials, respectively. After the incision was sutured, penicillin was injected intramuscularly into each rat on the 3rd day after surgery at a concentration of 40,000 to 60,000 units / mL. Four and eight weeks post-surgery, rats were euthanized under anesthesia, and their skulls were removed and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde. The skull tissue was then scanned on a Micro-CT animal imaging system (Quantum FX; PerkinElmer, United States) with the following imaging parameters: voltage 90 kV, current 180 μA, FOV 40 mm, 360° scan for 4.5 min. After scanning, three-dimensional reconstruction was performed using Caliper Analyze software, and residual tissue other than bone was removed. After three-dimensional reconstruction, the data was imported into the Measure module of Caliper Analyze to measure and record bone mass percentage (BV / TV), trabecular bone thickness (Tb.Th), and trabecular bone number (Tb.N). Subsequently, the specimens were decalcified with EDTA at room temperature for 4 weeks, dehydrated, and embedded in paraffin. Histological sections were cut into 6 μm thick sections and stained with HE and Masson staining to assess bone regeneration.
