AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is an antibacterial agent (lithium compound) that does not have any antibiotic-related side effects. It can gradually dissolve from the implant and prevent bacteria from reaching it. Its dissolution rate can be adjusted to avoid negative responses from the surrounding tissues or insufficient antibacterial effect. The antibacterial duration can be designed to be either too long or too short. After dissolution, the implant becomes more biocompatible. The dissolved lithium compound forms pores that enhance bioresorption rate of the implant, allowing bone cells to grow into it.

Problems solved by technology

Despite considerable research and development efforts, the problem of infections related to biomedical devices and implants persists.
Infections linked to implant devices are a serious hospital problem and very often are a major cause of implant failure (Shi et al., Int J Artif Organs.
According to Ratner (UW Today 1999Dec. 14), once the bacteria get on the device, they are extremely difficult to remove and very resistant to treatment and It can take 100 times the concentration of an antibiotic to kill the bacteria when they are attached as it takes to kill them when they're free.

rial Test on Commercially Pure Lithium Salts

[0095]Antibacterial tests were conducted on a series of commercially pure lithium compounds, including Li2SO4, Li3PO4, Li2CO3, Li2O, and LiF.

[0096]Samples were either dry-molded under a pressure of 450 kgf into a 3 mm high, 6 mm dia. cylinder without being mixed with a setting solution, or wet-molded under 1.4 MPa into a 3 mm high, 6 mm dia. cylinder with being mixed with a 0.6 M (NH4)2HPO4 setting solution at L / P ratios 0.2-0.6 (0.20 for Li2SO4, 0.25 for Li3PO4, 0.60 for Li2CO3)

Results

[0097](1) All tested lithium compounds (LiSO4, Li3PO4, Li2CO3, Li2O and LiF) demonstrate a high antibacterial behavior.[0098](2) Except Li2CO3, all dry-molded (without being mixed with a setting solution) lithium compounds are more or less disintegrated / dissolved in TSB agar plate.[0099](3) All wet-molded (mixed with 0.6 M (NH4)2HPO4 at L / P=0.2-0.6 cc / g) Li compounds do not disintegrate in TSB agar plate.[0100](4) Wet-molded Li2SO4 and Li2CO3 samples show tw...

rial Behavior and Other Tests of TTCP / Li Salt and TTCP / Li Salt / PAA Samples

[0101]Immersion, pH measurement, weight loss, cytotoxicity and antibacterial tests were conducted on TTCP / Li and TTCP / Li / PAA block samples.

[0102]The TTCP / Li / PAA blocks were prepared by mixing appropriate amounts of TTCP powder and Li2CO3 powder (TTCP: Li2CO3=1:1 by weight) to obtain a TTCP / Li2CO3 mixed powder. The TTCP / Li2CO3 powder was mixed with 0.6 M (NH4)2HPO4 setting solution containing 3, 5, or 10 vol % PAA solution at L / P ratio of 0.45 cc / g to obtain a TTCP / Li / PAA cement paste. The TTCP / Li / PAA block samples were prepared from pressure-molding the TTCP / Li / PAA cement paste under a pressure of 450 kgf.

rial Behavior and Other Tests of TTCP / DCPA / Li Salt and TTCP / DCPA / Li Salt / PAA Samples

[0113]Immersion, pH measurement, weight loss, cytotoxicity and antibacterial tests were conducted on TTCP / DCPA / Li and TTCP / DCPA / Li / PAA block samples.

[0114]The TTCP / DCPA / Li blocks were prepared by mixing appropriate amounts of TTCP / DCPA powders (1:1 in molar ratio) and Li compound (Li2CO3 or Li2O) powder (Li2CO3 or Li2O=10 wt % or 30 wt % of all powder components) to obtain a TTCP / DCPA / Li compound mixed powder. The TTCP / DCPA / Li compound powder was mixed with 0.6 M (NH4)2HPO4 setting solution with L / P ratio of 0.35 to obtain a TTCP / DCPA / Li cement paste. The 3 mm high, 6 mm dia. block samples were prepared from pressure-molding the cement paste under a pressure of 1.4 MPa.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This patent application is a continuation application of U.S. application Ser. No. 13 / 887,416 filed on May 6, 2013, which claims the priority benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 643,500, filed May 7, 2012, both of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention is related to an anti-bacterial preparation for treating bone. More specifically, the present invention is related to an anti-bacterial preparation for treating bone which is a lithium-containing calcium-based material.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Despite considerable research and development efforts, the problem of infections related to biomedical devices and implants persists. Bacteria evidently can readily colonize surfaces of synthetic materials, such as those used for the fabrication of catheters, hip and knee implants, dental implants, and many other devices. Infections linked to implant device...
