Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of applied materials, and particularly relates to an absorbable bioactive bone cement, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Bone cement is a medical material used in orthopedic surgeries and is widely applied to bone injury diseases such as fracture surgery fixation and joint surgery fixation. Bone cement usually includes a solid-phase powder and a liquid-phase component. At room temperature, after mixing them in a certain proportion into a slurry, it is injected into a bone defect site with a complex and irregular shape for in-situ curing. Currently, commonly used bone cements mainly include polymethyl methacrylate, calcium phosphate, and calcium sulfate bone cements, etc. 1. Polymethyl methacrylate bone cement is a room-temperature self-curing binder composed of a powder and a liquid. Although it is widely used, it has the following deficiencies: ① It has no osteogenic activity and cannot form an organic chemical interface bond with the host bone tissue, resulting in the long-term existence of fractures around the defect site. Although a certain stability is obtained in the short term after surgery by means of microscopic interlocking and volume filling, with the subsequent bone resorption and other reactions at the fracture interface in the later stage, there are potential hazards to the long-term stability of the defect site. ② It is not degradable, causing its high elastic modulus and stress concentration to not be relieved for a long time, increasing the risk of fractures in adjacent parts and also bringing difficulties to the treatment of degenerative diseases in adjacent parts. ③ The curing polymerization reaction generates a large amount of heat, and the heat accumulation is likely to cause damage to the surrounding tissues and bone marrow. And due to the temperature difference drop, it will lead to the shrinkage of the bone cement and cause subsequent loosening of the joint prosthesis. 2. Calcium phosphate bone cement undergoes hydration hardening by adding two or more calcium phosphate powders to a liquid-phase conditioner to form a bone cement similar to the human bone tissue structure. The deficiencies of this material are: generally, its injectability is not good; its mechanical properties are low, and it is difficult to be applied to load-bearing parts; its degradation rate is too fast. 3. Calcium sulfate bone cement is similar to calcium phosphate bone cement and has degradability and osteoconductivity. The deficiencies are: the setting time is long, the modulus is large, the mechanical strength is low, and the degradation rate is too fast. The deficiencies of calcium phosphate bone cement and calcium sulfate bone cement are obvious, and their clinical applications are not many.

[0003] Therefore, it is urgent to develop new materials that can replace polymethyl methacrylate bone cement, which have osteogenic activity, can be absorbed, do not generate a large amount of heat during curing, and do not shrink and loosen. Summary of the Invention

[0066] Example 4

[0067] Preparation process of cycloalkenone acetal compound DMMDO:

[0068] Dissolve 2,5 - hexanediol (1.2 g, 10.2 mmol) in dichloromethane (170 ml) and pyridine (7.5 ml, 91.5 mmol). Place the reaction system in an argon - purged environment at - 20 °C, and then slowly add a dichloromethane (90 ml) solution of triphosgene (4.55 g, 15.2 mmol) dropwise. After the addition is complete, restore the temperature to room temperature and react for 20 min. Then quench the reaction with saturated ammonium chloride solution (100 ml). Extract the product mixture with dichloromethane. Wash the obtained organic phase with saturated brine, dry it over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filter, remove the solvent under vacuum, and perform vacuum distillation to collect the fraction around 95 °C.

[0070] Comparative Example 1

[0071] Commercially available bone cement According to the instruction manual, evenly mix the solid phase and the liquid phase, then suck the bone cement with a syringe and inject the bone cement in the toothpaste - like stage into the required site with the assistance of imaging.

[0072] (1) Maximum curing temperature and setting time

[0073] After the solid and liquid phases of the bone cement materials in the examples and comparative examples were contacted and mixed evenly, they were immediately injected into a prefabricated mold and timing was started. The temperature was continuously measured using a thermocouple and observed in real time. The test was terminated after the temperature began to drop. According to the curve of temperature change over time obtained, the peak value was read as the highest curing temperature. At the same time, the setting time of the bone cement was defined as the time corresponding to the average curing temperature (the average of the highest curing temperature and room temperature) on the curve. The highest curing temperatures and setting times of the materials in Comparative Example 1 and Examples 1 to 4 are shown in Table 1.

[0074] Table 1 The highest curing temperatures and setting times of the bone cement materials in the examples and comparative examples.

[0075]

[0076] The results show that compared with the traditional PMMA bone cement, the curing temperature of the absorbable bioactive bone cement of the present invention is significantly reduced; a large amount of heat is not generated during the curing of the shown examples, and the highest curing temperature does not exceed 42 °C. Especially in Example 1, the highest temperature is 37.2 °C, which is very close to the normal human body temperature. At the same time, the shortened setting time window can also meet the clinical operation requirements.

[0077] (2) Mechanical property test of bone cement

[0078] The mechanical properties of the bone cement were tested according to ISO5833-2002. After the solid and liquid phases of the bone cement materials in the examples and comparative examples were contacted and mixed evenly, they were immediately injected into a cylindrical mold with a diameter of 5 mm and a height of 10 mm. After curing, the mold was removed. The prepared specimens were subjected to compression tests on a universal testing machine (LD-5 type of LLOYD company, the sensor was 2.5 kN). The loading speed was 5 mm / min, and the test was stopped when the compression rate reached 30%. The compressive strength value and the elastic modulus of the bone cement were calculated according to the stress-strain curve. There were 5 parallel samples in each group, and the results were averaged. Another rectangular sample strip was prepared and the flexural strength of the bone cement was measured by the three-point bending test method. The loading speed was 5 mm / min, and the loading was continued until the sample strip broke and the test was stopped. There were 5 parallel samples in each group, and the results were averaged. The compressive strength, elastic modulus and flexural strength of the bone cement are shown in Table 2.

[0079] Table 2 The mechanical properties of the bone cement materials in the examples and comparative examples.

[0080]

[0081] The results show that compared with the commercially available bone cement products, the absorbable bioactive bone cement in the present invention has improved compressive strength and flexural strength, and the material has higher toughness.

[0082] (3) In vivo degradation experiment

[0083] Balb / c mice (20 g, female) had their back hair removed in a sterile environment, the skin was cleaned, and then they were placed in a chamber of an isoflurane anesthesia machine for anesthesia and fixed on the operating table, with an anesthesia mask maintaining the anesthesia. The skin around the back was disinfected with iodophor, and an incision (~1 cm) was made on the back with a scalpel. The fascia between the skin and muscle was separated with scissors and forceps to form a small pocket. The solidified samples in Comparative Example 1 and Examples 1-4 were made into discs with a diameter of 5 mm and a height of 2 mm, and implanted subcutaneously in the back. The tissue was sutured and disinfected again with iodophor. Six mice were randomly implanted in each case. After 8 weeks of feeding, the mice were euthanized, and the samples in Comparative Example 1 and Examples 1-4 were taken out. The morphology of the samples was observed, the weight of the samples was measured, and the degradation rate was calculated by comparing with the samples before implantation.

[0084] The in vivo degradation test of the materials in Comparative Example 1 and Examples 1-4 was as Figure 2 shown.

[0085] As Figure 2 shown: The materials in Examples 1-4 all showed good degradation rates after being maintained for 8 weeks in the physiological environment. The degradation of the material in Example 2 was the most obvious, and the degradation rate could reach 26.86%; it was shown that the introduction of the MDO ring-opening polymer provided better degradation performance for the material; in addition, the degradation rate of the material in Comparative Example 1 after 8 weeks was 1.49%, and the degradability of the material was poor, far lower than that of Examples 1-4, indicating that the bone cement constructed in the present invention has excellent in vivo degradation performance.

[0086] (4) Osteogenic activity experiment

[0087] ALP activity detection: Osteoblasts MC3T3 were cultured on the prefabricated Examples 1-4 and Comparative Example 1 for 7 days and 14 days respectively. The old culture medium was removed, and the cells were washed 1-3 times with PBS. Then RIAP cell lysate was added. After the cells were fully lysed, the cell lysate was centrifuged, and the supernatant was taken. The activity of cell ALP was detected according to the instructions of the AKP / ALP kit.

[0088] The ALP activity detection of the materials in Comparative Example 1 and Examples 1-4 was as Figure 3 shown.

[0089] As Figure 3 shown: The cell ALP activity in the test of the materials in Examples 1-4 was significantly higher than that in Comparative Example 1. This was because the absorbable bioactive bone cement in the present invention added inorganic nano materials with osteogenic activity. The inorganic nano materials with bioactivity could be gradually exposed or released with the degradation of the bone cement in vivo, so as to show osteogenic activity when contacting with the surrounding tissue environment.

[0090] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the present invention provides an absorbable bioactive bone cement, and the preparation raw materials include component A and component B; component A includes cycloalkenone acetal compounds and oxidants; component B includes hydrophobic vinyl monomers, hydrophilic crosslinking agents and reducing agents loaded on inorganic nanomaterials. The bone cement provided by the present invention is formed by in-situ curing through a free radical ring-opening polymerization reaction in a human body environment. The reaction process is rapid, slightly exothermic, does not burn the human body, and there will be no loosening phenomenon in subsequent use. The added inorganic nanomaterials have osteogenic activity and can be absorbed by the human body. The free radical ring-opening polymer with cycloalkenone acetal compounds can be degraded and absorbed in a physiological environment, but the absorption time is longer, avoiding the deficiency of too fast degradation time of calcium phosphate bone cement and calcium sulfate bone cement, and is applicable to total joint replacement, vertebroplasty, bone defect reconstruction, treatment of infectious lesions, etc.

[0091] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and modifications can be made, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
