Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical materials, and in particular to a prosthesis material, a nasal prosthesis containing the same, and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The main application areas of medical prostheses include: in the field of degenerative arthritis treatment (total knee replacement, total hip replacement), vertebroplasty, cosmetic surgery and oral field. Different treatment application fields also have some special requirements for the performance of prostheses. The types of rhinoplasty prostheses in the existing technology mainly include: (1) Silicone prostheses: They are widely used for their non-toxicity, good biocompatibility, easy shaping and moderate price. However, silicone prostheses may have potential risks such as light transmission, displacement, infection and rejection, and their shape is fixed, making it difficult to achieve completely personalized matching. (2) Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) prostheses: They have a microporous structure that allows the surrounding tissue to grow in, enhancing the combination of the prosthesis and tissue. However, they are expensive, require strict surgical operation techniques, and are difficult to remove once complications occur. (3) Autologous cartilage transplantation: The patient's own ear cartilage or rib cartilage is used for transplantation, which has excellent biocompatibility and natural effect. However, the surgery is traumatic, complications may occur in the donor area, and the cartilage carving technology is high, making it difficult to mass produce. (4) Injectable fillers: such as hyaluronic acid, artificial bone powder, collagen, etc., are used for non-surgical rhinoplasty or fine-tuning. The advantages are simple operation and quick recovery, but the effect is not permanent and needs to be re-injected regularly. Improper injection may cause nodules, inflammation and other problems.

[0003] The preparation methods of medical prostheses usually include traditional processes such as mold casting, mechanical carving or injection molding. Although these methods are mature, they are often difficult to achieve highly personalized customization, especially for the accurate replication of complex anatomical structures. In recent years, the application of 3D printing technology in the preparation of personalized rhinoplasty prostheses has attracted increasing attention. By collecting facial CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data of patients, three-dimensional reconstruction and design are performed, and then a 3D printer is used to deposit materials layer by layer to build a prosthesis that accurately matches the patient's nasal anatomical structure. The advantages of this technology are: (1) precise personalization, which can be customized according to the specific nasal morphology of each patient to achieve the best aesthetic effect and functional restoration; (2) reducing surgical operations, eliminating the intraoperative prosthesis "carving" link, simplifying the traditional processing process, shortening the preparation cycle, and improving production efficiency; (3) material diversity, supporting the use of a variety of biomedical materials, including biodegradable materials or bioactive ceramic materials.

[0004] Although 3D printing technology has shown great potential in the manufacture of personalized rhinoplasty prostheses, the following problems still exist: (1) Insufficient material properties. It is difficult for a single material to simultaneously meet the multiple requirements of the prosthesis, such as mechanical properties, bioactivity, and degradation characteristics; (2) Difficulty in personalized customization. Although 3D printing can theoretically achieve high personalization, in actual operation, the complex nasal anatomical structure, individual differences, and the challenges of different material properties required for specific parts still limit the precision of personalized design and manufacturing; (3) Timeliness. For example, with SLA and SLS 3D printing methods, the prosthesis often needs to undergo a series of post-processing processes, including cleaning, polishing, disinfection, and possible heat treatment or coating to ensure its biocompatibility and durability.

[0005] Therefore, how to achieve efficient, rapid, high-precision, and personalized prosthesis customization while improving the application performance of the prosthesis has become a problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a prosthetic material, a nasal prosthesis containing the same and a preparation method. By designing and preparing composite wires in specific proportions and combining a personalized design process, precise customization and efficient manufacturing of nasal prostheses are achieved. This prosthesis not only has a personalized appearance that is highly matched with the patient's nose, but also due to its specific structural design and the use of bioactive materials, it is expected to improve the integration of the prosthesis with surrounding tissues, reduce complications, and increase the success rate of surgery and patient satisfaction.

[0103] (1) Pathological sections

[0104] ① Specimen preparation

[0105] 1.5% sodium pentobarbital was used to extract the material at 30 mg / kg -1 The rabbits were anesthetized by ear vein and fixed in supine position. The left hind limb knee joint of the rabbits was uniformly operated on, the surgical area was shaved, routinely disinfected, and covered with a towel. A longitudinal incision of about 3 cm was made on the inner side of the knee joint, the prosthesis implant was placed, and the incision was sutured.

[0106] ②Specimen fixation

[0107] Seven days after the incision was sutured, tissue specimens of the left hind limb knee joint of the rabbit were obtained and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for later hard tissue section analysis.

[0108] ③Specimen dehydration

[0109] The experimental starting gradient was 70% ethanol, and the specimens were immersed for 24 hours; the concentration of ethanol was increased by 5% for 24 hours until the concentration of ethanol reached 100%.

[0110] ④ The specimen is transparent

[0111] Use pure xylene for clearing, and the total time should not exceed 4 hours.

[0112] ⑤Methyl methacrylate monomer preparation

[0113] Configuration of Monomer III: The preparation of pure Monomer III is carried out according to the contents specified in Table 1 below.

[0114] Table 1

[0115]

[0116] Monomer II is the monomer liquid recovered after the specimen is immersed in pure monomer III.

[0117] Monomer I is the monomer liquid recovered after the specimen is soaked in the monomer II liquid.

[0118] ⑥Filtration and embedding

[0119] Filter and embed the specimens in the following order:

[0120] a. Place the transparent specimen into the monomer I solution and soak for 18 hours;

[0121] b. After pouring out monomer I, put into monomer II solution and soak for 24 hours;

[0122] c. After pouring out monomer II, put into monomer III solution and soak for 24 hours;

[0123] d. Replace the new vacuum container and set the suction intensity to 2×10 4 Pa, vacuuming time is about 4 hours to ensure that the gas in the bone tissue is completely discharged; cover the bottle cap and reserve a ventilation hole on the bottle cap, place it in the monomer III solution that has been standing in a refrigerator at 4°C for 5 days, and add a small amount of pure monomer hardening block to the embedding container; place it in a negative pressure environment for 24 hours. Then place it at room temperature to continue polymerization until solidification;

[0124] e. In the later stage of curing, place it in a 40℃ oven until it is completely hardened; when a Kirschner wire is used to poke the surface, if it is completely hardened and there are no bubbles around the specimen in the cured block, it indicates that the embedding is successful.

[0125] ⑦ Slicing and grinding

[0126] After the embedded glass container was smashed, the embedded block was trimmed and fixed firmly on the slicer (EXAKT310, EXAKT, Germany), and the cutting direction of the blade was parallel to the long axis of the bone defect, that is, cutting along the coronal plane. After ultrasonic cleaning of the slices for 10 seconds, they were rinsed with double distilled water for 2 minutes, dried at room temperature, and then glued to the organic glass slides for hard tissues with adhesive (to avoid bubbles). After gluing, the slices were ground and polished, and the slice thickness was 60 μm.

[0127] ⑧H&E dyeing:

[0128] a. Spread and mount: Turn on the water bath, adjust the water temperature to 40°C, and prepare a 30% ethanol solution. First, place the tissue slice in the 30% ethanol solution to spread it out. Then place the tissue slice in the water bath to fully spread it out. Take a clean slide and place the tissue slice on it.

[0129] b. Dewaxing and rehydration: Adjust the temperature of the water bath to 60°C. Then place the slices in a water bath for 30 minutes to melt the paraffin. Then soak them in xylene solution I for 30 minutes, and then soak them in xylene solution II for 30 minutes to fully wash out the paraffin. Then soak the sample slices in 100%, 95%, 85%, and 70% ethanol solutions for 5 minutes to rehydrate. Then soak the tissue slices in distilled water for 5 minutes.

[0130] c. Staining: Use hematoxylin staining solution to stain the tissue sections for 10 minutes, then rinse with running water for 15 minutes, and then dehydrate the stained sections in an ethanol solution for 5 minutes (50%, 70% and 80%); use eosin staining solution to stain for 10 minutes, then rinse with running water for 15 minutes, and then dehydrate the stained sections in a 95% ethanol solution for 5 minutes.

[0131] d. Seal the slide: Soak the slide in xylene solution twice, 5 minutes each time. Then seal the slide with neutral resin. Neutral resin can be diluted to an appropriate concentration with xylene.

[0132] e. Observation: The stained sections can be observed and photographed under an optical microscope.
