Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polyvinyl alcohol materials technology, and in particular to a polyvinyl alcohol-based composite material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the increasing use of implants, the risk of implant-related infections has become increasingly prominent. Implants are highly susceptible to causing bacterial bone defects and chronic osteomyelitis. Osteomyelitis often occurs alongside bacterial infection and biofilm formation, leading to rupture of blood flow to the periosteum and intraosseous arterial system, ultimately resulting in osteonecrosis. Currently, the gold standard for treating osteomyelitis is a combination of local antibiotic delivery and systemic antibiotic therapy. However, biofilm formation limits the effectiveness of antibiotics, thus easily leading to disease relapse and making treatment difficult. Therefore, prevention has become a key clinical strategy.

[0003] Currently, while pure titanium and its alloys, widely used in clinical practice, possess excellent chemical stability, mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility, they lack antibacterial properties, making them prone to bacterial infections, leading to secondary surgeries and significant resource consumption. Staphylococcus aureus is a major pathogen causing orthopedic implant infections. Despite extensive antibiotic research, resistance, especially multidrug resistance, is easily developed. Furthermore, researchers are dedicated to constructing coatings with immuno-osteogenic regulatory functions on implant surfaces to achieve both antibacterial and osteogenic effects. Although some progress has been made in orthopedic implant surface modification, the bonding strength of current coatings is insufficient, resulting in the inability to maintain biological function long-term. Therefore, there is an urgent clinical need for a novel method to prevent infection and promote tissue repair to address the challenges of implant-related infections. Summary of the Invention

[0010] This invention introduces an appropriate amount of Cu into a polyvinyl alcohol-based polymer with a specific structure. 2+ It can be obtained through Cu 2+ The slow release of Cu provides a localized environment that promotes bone growth and has antibacterial properties. 2+ The introduction of [the substance] can further enhance the osteogenicity of polyvinyl alcohol-based composite materials by regulating the synthesis of extracellular matrix and cell differentiation, and has broad application prospects in the field of bone repair implant materials.

[0094] Characterization

[0095] Figure 1 The image shows the 1H NMR spectrum of the PVA-TP-CA material prepared in Example 1. As can be seen from the image, the chemical shifts of the TP groups are mainly concentrated between 7.0 ppm and 9.0 ppm, while the chemical shifts of the CA groups are mainly concentrated between 6.0 ppm and 7.0 ppm, indicating that TP and CA were successfully grafted onto the polyvinyl alcohol molecular chain.

[0096] XPS plot of PVA-TP-CA / Cu@Ti prepared in Example 2 is shown below. Figure 2 As shown. From Figure 2 As shown in (a), the binding energy of Cu2p in the PVA-TP-CA / Cu coating is 932.6 eV. From... Figure 2 As can be seen in (b), the satellite peaks of copper ions in the 2P orbital are mainly located at 943 eV and 961 eV, proving that copper ions have been grafted into the coating.

[0097] SEM images of the PVA-TP-CA material prepared in Example 1 and the PVA-TP-CA / Cu@Ti material prepared in Example 2 are shown below. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the grafting of copper ions increases the roughness of the copper alloy substrate. Furthermore, it is well known that titanium alloys have poor hydrophilicity, while... Figure 3 (a) and Figure 3 (b) The contact angle test in the upper left corner shows that the introduction of the coating on the titanium alloy substrate significantly improves the hydrophilicity of the substrate, and the hydrophilicity is also improved to a certain extent after grafting copper ions, which is conducive to promoting cell adhesion, improving the bonding force between the implant and the surrounding bone tissue, and accelerating the bone healing process.

[0098] Performance testing

[0099] 1. Bond strength

[0100] The bonding strength of the coating was tested using the tensile test. According to ISO 13779.2, 3M DP460 adhesive with high bonding strength was selected, along with two titanium rods with a diameter of 1 mm and a length of 5 cm. The titanium rods with double-sided coating were bonded between the cross sections of the two titanium rods using 3M DP460 adhesive, and tensile testing was performed using a mechanical testing machine at a tensile rate of 1 mm / min.

[0101] The test results of the titanium alloy substrates with PVA-TP-CA coatings prepared in Example 2 and Comparative Example 1 are as follows: Figure 4 As shown.

[0102] As shown in the figure, the adhesion strength between the PVA-TP-CA coating and the titanium alloy substrate in the sample prepared in Example 2 is 29.04 MPa, while the adhesion strength between the PVA-TP-CA coating and the titanium alloy substrate in the sample prepared in Comparative Example 1 is 38.8 MPa. This demonstrates that the adhesion strength between the titanium alloy substrate and the PVA-TP-CA coating is significantly enhanced after femtosecond laser treatment.

[0103] 2. Release of copper ions

[0104] The PVA-TP-CA / Cu@Ti (10mm×10mm×1mm) samples prepared in Example 2 were immersed in 5 mL of phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). Three parallel groups were established for each sample. Copper ion concentration was measured at 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 12 days, and the buffer was replaced with fresh PBS. Copper ion concentration was detected using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-MS), and the results are shown in Table 1. Figure 5 As stated above.

[0105] Table 1 Copper ion release

[0106] Release amount (ppb) RSD / % of three sample groups 1d 13.534 3.11 2d 27.143 2.114 3d 36.133 4.543 6d 36.244 2.311 7d 39.381 3.243 8d 48.948 8.261 9d 50.108 8.978 12d 62.293 5.768

[0107] This demonstrates that the PVA-TP-CA / Cu@Ti sample prepared in the embodiments of the present invention can achieve the slow release of copper ions, thereby achieving the effects of long-lasting antibacterial activity and promoting tissue repair.

[0108] 3. Promotes cell proliferation

[0109] The PVA-TP-CA prepared in Example 1 was immersed in copper chloride solutions of different concentrations, namely 0.1 mg / mL, 0.2 mg / mL, 0.5 mg / mL and 1 mg / mL, and PVA-TP-CA / Cu@Ti samples were prepared in the same manner as in Example 2.

[0110] Each prepared sample was placed in a 24-well plate, and rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were seeded onto the coating surface of each sample, with 1.5 × 10⁻⁶ cells seeded per well. 4 Samples were cultured at 37℃ for 1 day and 3 days, respectively. After culture, the samples were transferred to new 24-well plates and gently washed three times with PBS buffer for 5 minutes each time. CCK-8 and complete culture medium were mixed at a volume ratio of 1:9, and 1 mL of the mixture was added to each well. The plates were then incubated at 37℃ in the dark for 2.5 hours. 100 μL of the resulting solution was then transferred to a 96-well plate, and the absorbance of each sample solution was measured using a microplate reader at a wavelength of 450 nm. The results are shown in Table 2 and 3. Figure 6 As shown.

[0112]

[0113] 4. Antibacterial properties

[0114] The PVA-TP-CA / Cu@Ti test samples prepared in copper chloride solutions of different concentrations were placed in a 24-well plate with the coated side facing up. In a clean bench, 1 mL of a 1×10⁻⁶ solution was pipetted onto the plate. 8 Staphylococcus aureus at a concentration of CFU / mL and 1×10 6 CFU / mL of *E. coli* was added to the surface of each group of samples. After incubating the plates at 37℃ for 24 hours, the bacterial suspension in each well was collected. The antibacterial rate of each group of samples was detected and calculated using serial dilution and plate count methods. 100 μL of serially diluted bacterial suspension was evenly spread onto agar plates and incubated at 37℃ for 24 hours. After removing the plates, plates with colony counts between 30 and 300 were selected, and the number of colonies grown on the plates was counted. The number of viable bacteria in the surrounding culture medium was then calculated based on the dilution factor. The results are as follows: Figure 7 As shown in Table 3.

[0115] Table 3. Performance of PVA-TP-CA / Cu@Ti samples against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.

[0116]

[0117] As can be seen from the results, the PVA-TP-CA / Cu@Ti sample prepared in the embodiments of the present invention has excellent anti-Staphylococcus aureus and antibacterial effects.
