Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomedical materials technology, specifically to a composite gel containing core-shell structured hydroxyapatite calcium microspheres, its preparation method, and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Due to injuries and aging, the human body may experience loosening and loss of local soft tissues, sometimes even leading to loss of soft tissue function. Clinically, treatment can involve reinforcing local soft tissues by injecting tissue-enhancing materials into the areas requiring filling, restoring the tissue to its original shape and function.
[0003] Hydroxyapatite calcium, also known as hydroxyapatite, is a natural component of the human body and has good biocompatibility, making it a highly efficient material for soft tissue filling. However, hydroxyapatite calcium has extremely low solubility under physiological conditions, especially dense hydroxyapatite calcium, which exhibits an even lower biodegradation rate. When existing dense hydroxyapatite calcium injection microspheres are injected into the body, a large number of these microspheres gradually crystallize and harden at the injection site, forming new solid tissue. This results in a stiff injection site and a hard lump that is difficult to remove. Forcibly removing the hardened tissue can damage nerves and blood vessels, causing deformities and depressions at the removal site.
[0004] Therefore, optimizing and improving the structure and preparation method of hydroxyapatite calcium injection microspheres to obtain hydroxyapatite calcium microspheres that do not aggregate and harden after implantation, have good dispersibility and stability, slow degradation, can maintain a long-term filling effect, are resistant to high-temperature sterilization, and are easy to inject is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the primary objective of this invention is to provide a composite gel containing core-shell structured hydroxyapatite calcium microspheres. By coating the biodegradable polymer microspheres with hydroxyapatite calcium, after implantation, the hydroxyapatite calcium, acting as the shell, first contacts human tissue and degrades into calcium ions and phosphate ions, stimulating only collagen production and achieving tissue remodeling. The exposed biodegradable polymer microspheres are also metabolically degraded, preventing them from becoming undegradable and unremovable lumps. Furthermore, the exposure rate of the polymer microspheres can be controlled based on the degradation rate of the hydroxyapatite calcium shell, achieving a long-lasting, full-filling effect without the need for repeated injections. Due to the high molecular weight... The polymer microspheres have poor heat resistance and are prone to deformation during high-temperature sterilization. With the protection of the hydroxyapatite calcium shell, the microspheres will not soften or deform, which helps to reduce friction during injection. It can also be squeezed out with finer needles, reducing injection pain and allowing for better control of injection force and volume. Choosing a suitable gel carrier not only maintains appropriate viscoelasticity before and after sterilization to keep the microspheres in suspension, but also allows the composite gel to be pre-filled before use and injected directly, which is more conducive to clinical use and thus effectively improves the efficiency of clinical use. It also ensures that the composite gel can be stably stored at room temperature without the need for special storage and transportation.
[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing the above-mentioned composite gel containing core-shell structured hydroxyapatite calcium microspheres.
[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide an application of the above-mentioned composite gel containing core-shell structured hydroxyapatite calcium microspheres in soft tissue filling.

[0020] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for preparing a composite gel containing core-shell structured microspheres, comprising the following steps:
[0021] S1. Prepare hydroxyapatite calcium and biodegradable polymer spheres separately.

[0022] S2. Prepare a gel carrier by adding the core-shell structured hydroxyapatite calcium microspheres obtained in step S1 to the gel carrier and mixing them thoroughly.
[0023] In one optional embodiment, the mass percentage of polyethylene glycol in the mixing system of step S1 is 4% to 5%.
[0024] In one optional implementation, the mixing time in step S1 is 2h to 4h.
[0025] In one alternative embodiment, the mass ratio of the biodegradable polymer spheres to the calcium hydroxyapatite is 1:0.1 to 0.3.

[0027] In one optional embodiment, the method for preparing the biodegradable polymer spheres includes: preparing an aqueous stabilizer solution and a polymer solution respectively; adding the polymer solution to the aqueous stabilizer solution while it is being continuously stirred; continuing to stir for a first time; and then heating the mixture to evaporate the solvent to obtain polymer spheres.

Therefore, the PVA aqueous solution is used as a stabilizer in the emulsion polymerization process, synergistically improving the stability of the emulsion polymerization system. The particle size of the microspheres is controlled by adjusting the mass percentage of the PVA aqueous solution, further controlling the uniformity of particle size distribution and the spheroidization effect. Microspheres can be prepared using different organic solvents and polymers during the preparation process; the choice of solvent affects the raw material content of the polymer microspheres and subsequent solvent residue issues; the choice of polymer affects the surface morphology and particle size of the microspheres; in the preparation of polylactic acid microspheres, this invention uses polylactic acid as the polymer and chloroform as the solvent, resulting in microspheres with good structure and high encapsulation efficiency.

[0046] In one optional embodiment, the mixing in step S2 is performed by maintaining a stirring temperature of 20°C to 65°C and a stirring time of 5 min to 40 min.

[0052] Thirdly, the present invention provides the application of the above-mentioned composite gel containing core-shell structured microspheres in soft tissue filling.
[0053] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has the following advantages:
[0054] 1. The present invention provides a composite gel containing core-shell structured hydroxyapatite calcium microspheres. The composite gel includes a gel carrier and microspheres dispersed in the gel carrier. Each microsphere includes a core and a shell covering the core. The core is a biodegradable polymer, and the shell is hydroxyapatite calcium. The present invention encapsulates hydroxyapatite calcium on the outside of biodegradable polymer microspheres. After implantation, the hydroxyapatite calcium, acting as the shell, first contacts human tissue and degrades into calcium ions and phosphate ions, stimulating only collagen production and achieving tissue remodeling. Meanwhile, the gradually exposed polymer microspheres are also metabolically degraded, preventing them from becoming undegradable and unremovable lumps. Furthermore, the exposure rate of the polymer microspheres can be controlled based on the degradation rate of the hydroxyapatite calcium shell, achieving a long-term, full-filling effect without the need for repeated injections. However, due to the poor heat resistance of the biodegradable polymer, it is prone to deformation during high-temperature sterilization. With the protection of the hydroxyapatite calcium shell, the microspheres will not soften or deform, which helps reduce friction during injection. It also allows for extrusion with finer needles, reducing injection pain and better controlling injection force and volume. Choosing a suitable gel carrier ensures that the microspheres remain suspended before and after sterilization, allowing the composite gel to be pre-filled before use and injected directly, which is more conducive to clinical use and improves the efficiency of clinical use. It also ensures that the composite gel can be stably stored at room temperature without special storage and transportation.
[0055] The gel of the present invention has suitable viscoelasticity, which can make the microspheres uniformly suspended. After being injected into the human body, the microspheres are still uniformly dispersed in the gel, making it difficult for the microspheres to aggregate and clump. After the gel carrier is degraded and absorbed, the hydroxyapatite calcium as the shell is also degraded to expose the core polylactic acid microspheres, thereby reducing the formation of solid tissues.
[0056] The present invention forms a dense shell on the outside of the polymer, which can reduce the aggregation of biodegradable polymers and obtain microspheres with smooth surfaces that are easy to inject and do not easily clump together.
[0057] The control of microsphere size mainly considers the migration and injectability of microspheres in vivo. The core-shell structured hydroxyapatite calcium microspheres of this invention have a particle size of 15μm to 150μm. The microspheres are suspended in a gel carrier and pre-filled into a syringe. The finer the needle used for injection, the less painful the injection. When the microspheres are smaller than 15μm, they are prone to agglomeration and are easily phagocytosed by cells and eliminated through the lymphatic system after implantation, making it difficult to play a role. When the microspheres are larger than 150μm, the microspheres are too large to pass through the injection needle, which can easily cause needle blockage.
[0058] 2. The composite gel containing core-shell structured hydroxyapatite calcium microspheres provided by this invention utilizes sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, which has strong adhesion, ensuring good tissue integration after injection. The addition of a humectant provides lubrication, reducing friction during injection and allowing for better control of injection force and volume with finer needles, thus alleviating injection pain. The addition of a thickener overcomes the poor adhesion of tissue filler materials, ensuring strong positional stability after injection and preventing migration. The gel is prepared at room temperature, allowing for stable storage without special storage or transportation. Furthermore, the gel is pre-filled before use, facilitating direct injection and improving clinical efficiency.
[0059] 3. The method for preparing a composite gel containing core-shell structured hydroxyapatite calcium microspheres provided by the present invention involves adding hydroxyapatite calcium, biodegradable polymer spheres, and polyethylene glycol to a mixed solvent of water and alcohol, mixing them, so that the hydroxyapatite calcium coats the surface of the biodegradable polymer spheres, thereby obtaining core-shell structured hydroxyapatite calcium microspheres; adding the above-prepared core-shell structured hydroxyapatite calcium microspheres to a gel carrier, and mixing thoroughly. The present invention uses a sol-gel polymerization method to uniformly coat hydroxyapatite calcium onto a biodegradable polymer, resulting in a relatively uniform and smooth surface, and uniform dispersion in the carrier gel for soft tissue filling.
[0060] Hydroxyapatite calcium is uniformly deposited layer by layer under the action of polyethylene glycol to form completely encapsulated and dense microspheres; polyethylene glycol can solve the agglomeration problem in the preparation process of hydroxyapatite calcium, modify the surface of hydroxyapatite calcium, and maintain its shape.

[0082] The following embodiments are provided to better understand the present invention and are not limited to the preferred embodiments described. They do not constitute a limitation on the content and scope of protection of the present invention. Any product that is the same as or similar to the present invention, derived by any person under the guidance of the present invention or by combining the features of the present invention with other prior art, falls within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0083] For experiments not specifically described in the examples, the procedures or conditions should be followed according to the conventional experimental procedures described in the literature in this field. Reagents or instruments whose manufacturers are not specified are all commercially available conventional reagent products.
[0084] Existing injectable composite microspheres have a porous structure and rough surface, resulting in weak mechanical strength, rapid degradation, and an inability to maintain a long-term filling effect. Furthermore, after high-temperature sterilization, the microspheres are prone to deformation, making subsequent injections more difficult.
[0085] Therefore, this invention provides a composite gel containing core-shell structured hydroxyapatite calcium microspheres. The composite gel includes a gel carrier and microspheres dispersed within the gel carrier. Each microsphere includes a core and a shell covering the core. The core is a biodegradable polymer, and the shell is hydroxyapatite calcium. This invention encapsulates hydroxyapatite calcium on the outside of biodegradable polymer microspheres. After implantation, the hydroxyapatite calcium, acting as the shell, first contacts human tissue and degrades into calcium and phosphate ions, stimulating collagen production and achieving tissue remodeling. Meanwhile, the gradually exposed polymer microspheres are also metabolically degraded, preventing them from becoming undegradable and removable lumps. Furthermore, the exposure rate of the polymer microspheres can be controlled based on the degradation rate of the hydroxyapatite calcium shell, achieving a long-lasting, full-filling effect without the need for repeated injections. However, due to the poor heat resistance of biodegradable polymers, they are prone to deformation during high-temperature sterilization. With the protection of the hydroxyapatite calcium shell, the microspheres will not soften or deform, which helps reduce friction during injection and allows for extrusion with finer needles, reducing injection pain and allowing for better control of injection force and volume. Choosing a suitable gel carrier ensures that the microspheres remain suspended both before and after sterilization, allowing the composite gel to be pre-filled before use and injected directly, which is more beneficial for clinical use and improves efficiency. It also ensures that the composite gel can be stably stored at room temperature without special storage or transportation. The gel in this application has suitable viscoelasticity, allowing the microspheres to be uniformly suspended. After injection into the human body, the microspheres remain uniformly dispersed in the gel, preventing clumping. After the gel carrier is degraded and absorbed, the hydroxyapatite calcium shell is also degraded, exposing the core polylactic acid microspheres, thus reducing the formation of solid tissue. The core-shell structured hydroxyapatite calcium microspheres prepared in this application are dense spheres, preventing deformation of the composite microspheres after high-temperature sterilization, which would make subsequent injection difficult.
[0086] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, which should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.

[0151] Comparative Example 1
[0152] This comparative example provides a composite gel containing polylactic acid microspheres, and its preparation method is as follows:
[0153] The polylactic acid microspheres prepared in Example 1 were added to the carrier gel prepared in Example 1 and stirred at 25°C for 20 min to obtain a composite gel containing polylactic acid microspheres, which was designated as control gel 1; wherein the volume ratio of polylactic acid microspheres to gel carrier was 5:6.
[0154] Comparative Example 2
[0155] This comparative example provides a composite gel containing hydroxyapatite calcium microspheres, and its preparation method is as follows:
[0156] The purchased hydroxyapatite calcium was mixed in the gel carrier prepared in step (3) of Example 1 at a volume ratio of 5:6 between microspheres and gel carrier, and was designated as control gel 2.
[0157] Experimental Example 1
[0158] The core-shell structured hydroxyapatite calcium microspheres prepared in Examples 1 to 5 were immersed in freshly prepared TRIS-HCl buffer solution with pH = 7.4 at a mass ratio of 1:20 for degradation at a degradation temperature of 37°C. The aggregation of microspheres was observed after 6 months.
[0159] Figures 3-7 The images show the agglomeration of the core-shell structured hydroxyapatite calcium microspheres prepared in Examples 1 to 5. It can be seen that the microspheres are all in a dispersed state and are in powder form, with no obvious agglomeration. Figure 3 A few needle-like crystals were observed.
[0160] Figures 8-12 The images show the agglomeration of hydroxyapatite calcium microspheres with core-shell structure prepared in Examples 1 to 5. It can be seen that the microspheres are relatively uniformly dispersed and there are no obvious agglomerations.
[0161] Experimental Example 2
[0162] Sample images of gels 1-3 prepared in this invention and control gel 1 are shown below. Figure 13 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that compared to gels 1, gel 1 is more difficult to maintain its shape and appears more cloudy than gels 1-3.
[0163] Gels 1-3 and control gel 1 were separately placed into high-temperature and high-pressure resistant glass bottles, then sterilized in a 121℃ autoclave for 30 minutes. Their morphology was then observed under a microscope. Figures 14-17 As shown. Figures 14-16 These are microscopic images of gels 1-3 after sterilization. As can be seen from the images, the microspheres are evenly distributed and all maintain a basically spherical shape. Figure 17 Comparing the microscopic images of Gel No. 1 after sterilization, it can be seen that about 80% of the microspheres cannot maintain their spherical shape, and the distribution of microspheres is extremely uneven, making subsequent injections more difficult.
[0164] The sterilized gel was filled into 1mL syringes. Each syringe was equipped with 18G and 22G needles. The extrusion force generated by the gel was expelled through the injection needles of the 18G and 22G needles at a speed of 30mm / min. The results are shown in the table below.
[0165] Table 1. Measurement results of the extrusion force of gels 1-5 and control gel 1.
[0166]
[0167] As can be seen from the table above, the finer the needle size, the greater the extrusion force. For 18G injection needles, the extrusion force of gels 1-5 after sterilization is 6.1-11 G / N, and the gels in the syringe can be smoothly extruded. Compared with sterilized gels 1-5, the extrusion force of control gel 1 after sterilization is greater, and it will cause needle tip blockage when using a 22G needle. This may be due to the deformation of microspheres after sterilization, resulting in irregular shapes that increase particle size and uneven distribution in the gel, leading to needle blockage. Compared with gels 1-2, the extrusion force of gels 3-5 is smaller, which may be due to the larger volume of the core-shell structured hydroxyapatite calcium microspheres prepared in Examples 3-5 compared to the gel (gel 1). In addition, the content of thickener in the gel substrate is also an important factor affecting the extrusion force of the gel. Too little thickener will affect the uniform suspension of microspheres in the gel, while too much will increase the extrusion force of the gel (gel 2). When using an 18G injection needle, there is not much difference in the pushing force between gels 1-2 and gels 3-5. When using a finer 22G injection needle, the pushing force is greater for gel 1 than gel 2, and greater for gel 3 than gel 4 than gel 5. This is because finer injection needles are more sensitive to the viscoelasticity of the gel during the pushing process. The difference in gel viscoelasticity is due to the use of different gel carrier ratios to suspend microspheres of different volumes. The more microspheres added, the greater the viscoelasticity of the gel carrier needs to be, and the greater the viscoelasticity, the greater the pushing force required.
[0168] Experimental Example 3
[0169] The control gel No. 2 was sterilized according to the sterilization requirements in Experiment Example 2, placed into a high-temperature and high-pressure resistant glass bottle, and sterilized in a high-pressure steam sterilizer at 121°C for 30 minutes. At the same time, the sterilized gels No. 1-3 from Experiment Example 2 and the control gel No. 1 were injected subcutaneously into the tissues on both sides of the spine on the back of rabbits under aseptic conditions. Figure 18 The diagram shows the injection points. An 18G injection needle was used, and the injection volume was 0.3 mL. The filling effect of the injection site was observed 24 hours, 1 week, and 1 month after injection.
[0170] Observation 24 hours after injection: No redness, swelling, ecchymosis or allergic reaction were observed at injection sites 1-3; slight erythema was observed at injection sites of contrast gel 1 and contrast gel 2, which was relieved after applying ice.
[0171] Observation after 1 week of injection Figure 19 As shown, the filling effect of injection point 1 of the contrast gel was not obvious because it was difficult to maintain a fixed shape after injection; the injection point of contrast gel 2 showed redness and swelling, and a hardened clump of microspheres could be found by light touch; injection points 1-3 showed no redness, swelling, bruising, or allergic reactions and had obvious filling effects.
[0172] Observation one month after injection Figure 20 As shown, no filler was observed at injection point 1 of the gel, with slight redness and swelling, and the microspheres degraded or shifted, failing to achieve the filling effect at the injection point; at injection point 2 of the gel, the hardened lumps shifted, causing redness and ecchymosis, failing to achieve the filling effect at the injection point; injection points 1-3 showed no displacement, the microspheres degraded slowly, and there was a significant filling effect.

Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
