Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedical materials, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a semi-fluid micro-crosslinked gel. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, crosslinked gels can be roughly divided into two categories. The first category is low-crosslinked gels with a crosslinking degree <1%, which have a relatively soft texture and good plasticity, but are prone to problems such as edema, papules, particles, and the Tyndall effect after injection. The second category is high-crosslinked gels with a crosslinking degree >2%, which can have a retention stability in the body of 12 to 24 months. However, due to the relatively high crosslinking degree of such products, there are problems such as high viscoelasticity, poor plasticity, and tissue stiffness after injection.
[0003] Chinese Patent with application publication number CN 103126975A discloses, in the preparation method of a hydrogel patch matrix with gradient drugs recorded therein, that a centrifugation method is used to achieve a gradient distribution of crosslinking agents, thereby obtaining a gradient-crosslinked hydrogel. This patent utilizes the different sedimentation speeds of calcium salt powders under the action of centrifugal force to achieve crosslinking of different gradients. Although the gradient distribution can be regulated by controlling the centrifugation temperature, speed, and time, this method cannot accurately quantify the ratio and crosslinking degree between different gradients. In addition, due to the problem of uneven contact between calcium salt powders and sodium alginate solution in this patent, the prepared gel products have poor uniformity and mechanical properties, and problems such as papules, particles, and unevenness will occur when used as injection products.
[0004] Chinese Patent CN115252895A, a unidirectional fibrous crosslinked sodium hyaluronate dermal implant and its preparation method, discloses that a mixed solution of sodium hyaluronate and a crosslinking agent is longitudinally arranged by high-speed centrifugation and crosslinked under low-speed centrifugation to obtain a gradient crosslinked gel. This patent provides shear force through centrifugation to make the long-chain molecules of hyaluronic acid, which are intertwined or in a free state and have a disordered structure, tend to be consistent, realizing the longitudinal arrangement of linear molecules of sodium hyaluronate in solution or gel state. However, this system cannot prepare gradient crosslinked gels with different density regions.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need to prepare a new type of gel to solve the problems of high viscoelasticity, poor plasticity, and too fast degradation rate of crosslinked gels in existing problems. Summary of the Invention

[0040] Further, the semi-fluid micro-crosslinked gel provided by the present invention can be used for the preparation of skin wound repair products, soft tissue filling materials or drug sustained release products.
[0041] Beneficial effects:
[0042] By synergistically treating gradient centrifugation and ultrasound, the present invention synergistically controls molecular arrangement and crosslinking kinetics, constructs a semi-fluid micro-crosslinked gel with a three-dimensional gradient network structure, realizes multi-scale mechanical property regulation. The prepared semi-fluid micro-crosslinked gel has excellent cohesiveness and viscoelasticity, the longitudinal crosslinking density gradient adapts to the physiological characteristics of human tissues, has excellent biocompatibility, and can achieve gradient degradation.
[0043] In the centrifugation stage of the present invention, by utilizing the sedimentation coefficient difference of sodium hyaluronate with different molecular weights, a longitudinal gradient distribution of molecular weight is formed through centrifugation parameter regulation, laying a structural foundation for subsequent differential crosslinking; in the ultrasound stage, ultrasound treatment promotes the directional migration of unreacted crosslinking agents, promotes the orderly diffusion of crosslinking agent molecules in the transverse region, and combines with the thermal effect to activate the movement of polymer chain segments, constructing an orderly crosslinked network in the transverse dimension, thereby forming a semi-fluid micro-crosslinked gel with a three-dimensional gradient network structure.
[0044] The semi-fluid micro-crosslinked gel prepared by the present invention has a three-dimensional gradient network structure that can be highly integrated with tissues, promoting tissue repair and integration. Compared with gel products with a single molecular weight, the longitudinal crosslinking density gradient forms a bionic match with the skin tissue structure, which can improve the tissue integration degree and biocompatibility of the semi-fluid gel in vivo. On the other hand, the semi-fluid micro-crosslinked gel prepared by the present invention has a gradient crosslinking density that forms a differential enzyme cleavage site distribution, and realizes gradient degradation through the sequential control of the disentanglement-breakage of molecular chains, effectively prolonging the action time.
[0045] In addition, for the gel constructed by this solution, its longitudinal crosslinking network provides lasting support, and the transverse crosslinking network endows viscoelasticity and cohesion. The three-dimensional interpenetrating gradient structure of its longitudinal gradient crosslinking and transverse uniform crosslinking breaks through the mechanical equilibrium limit of traditional gels, overcomes the technical problem that it is difficult to have both viscoelasticity, cohesion and support in existing gel products, has both anti-displacement property and injection compliance, is not easy to displace after being injected into the human body, and is highly integrated with human tissues, avoiding the Tyndall effect, providing a new idea for the preparation of gel products.
[0046] The preparation method of the present invention reduces the overall usage amount of the crosslinking agent, but does not weaken the overall crosslinking structure. This is because this solution combines different crosslinking methods of centrifugation and ultrasound, and the two-stage crosslinking strategy improves the utilization rate of the crosslinking agent, enabling it to play a role in both longitudinal crosslinking and transverse crosslinking. Moreover, due to the relatively small total amount of the crosslinking agent used, there is less crosslinking agent residue in the prepared gel product, and the safety is higher.
[0047] Finally, the gel prepared by the present invention is a semi-fluid micro-crosslinked gel, which is easier to inject compared to gels with a higher degree of crosslinking. In addition, the gel product prepared by the present invention has longitudinal and transverse network structures, and the product prepared by the present invention has a gradually tighter crosslinking degree from top to bottom. Compared with traditional micro-crosslinked gel products, the gel product prepared by this method has stronger anti-enzymolysis ability, a slower degradation period, and a longer action time.

[0108] The difference between Comparative Example 9 and Example 1 is that in step S1, only 4 g of 100KDa medium molecular weight sodium hyaluronate is added, and the rest remains unchanged.
[0109] Experimental process and experimental data
[0110] 1. Measurement of swelling degree
[0111] For crosslinked gels, generally, the swelling degree is an important physical parameter reflecting the hydrophilic property of the gel and is used to characterize the crosslinking degree of the gel. Under the same conditions, the higher the crosslinking degree of the gel, the smaller its swelling degree. The swelling degree of the sample was measured according to Appendix D of YY / T 0962-2021 "Sodium Hyaluronate Gel for Plastic Surgery".
[0112] Figure 1 Table 1 shows the swelling degree data of the gels prepared in Example 1, Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Examples 7-8. It can be seen from Table 1 that the swelling degree of Comparative Example 1 is higher than that of Example 1. This is because the gel prepared in Comparative Example 1 has not undergone ultrasonic crosslinking treatment and has not formed a horizontal crosslinking structure, but only a longitudinal gradient crosslinking structure. Therefore, when the longitudinal structures of the gel product prepared in Comparative Example 1 are more easily penetrated by solvent molecules, the distance between molecular chains increases, and the swelling degree increases significantly; in the process of preparing the gel in Comparative Example 7, the horizontal crosslinking reaction was not completely completed due to no standing treatment after ultrasonic crosslinking. Therefore, the swelling degree of the gel product prepared in Comparative Example 7 is higher than that of Example 1. Figure 1 The horizontal crosslinking structures of the gel products prepared in Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 7 are not formed or not completely formed, resulting in excessive swelling. Excessive swelling will reduce the overall strength and toughness of the gel product, which is not conducive to injection use. In addition, due to excessive swelling, the sodium hyaluronate molecular chains are easily entangled under the influence of a large amount of solvent, resulting in changes in gel properties and poor stability.
[0113] The horizontal crosslinking structure of the gel products prepared in Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 7 is not formed or not completely formed, resulting in excessive swelling, and excessive swelling will reduce the overall strength and toughness of the gel product, which is not conducive to injection use. In addition, due to excessive swelling, the sodium hyaluronate molecular chains are easily entangled under the influence of a large amount of solvent, resulting in changes in gel properties and poor stability.
[0114] In Comparative Example 8, during the preparation of the gel, after ultrasonic treatment, the temperature was raised to 60 °C during the standing process. However, too high a standing temperature will accelerate the degradation rate of sodium hyaluronate in the alkaline solution, resulting in a decrease in the crosslinking degree of the gel product and damaging the three-dimensional gradient crosslinking network structure of the gel product. Therefore, the swelling degree of Comparative Example 8 is relatively high compared to Example 1.
[0115] 2. Rotational rheology test
[0116] The rotational rheology test of the semi-fluid micro-crosslinked gel was measured using a rotational rheometer (NETZSCH Kinexus Lab+). The frequency range was set from 0 to 10 Hz, and the rotational rheology data graph was plotted based on the rotational rheology results at 0.1 Hz. Figure 2 Among them, G′ represents the elastic modulus, and G" represents the viscous modulus.
[0117] It can be seen through Figure 2 that the value of the elastic modulus of Comparative Example 1 is much lower than that of Example 1, and the value of the viscous modulus is slightly lower than that of Example 1. This is because in the preparation of the gel in Comparative Example 1, only centrifugal crosslinking was carried out, resulting in only a longitudinal network structure and no transverse crosslinking structure formed by ultrasound. Therefore, the overall crosslinking strength of the gel product in Comparative Example 1 is lower than that in Example 1, and a low crosslinking degree will result in lower values of the elastic modulus and the viscous modulus.
[0118] Since in the preparation of the gel in Comparative Example 4, the temperature was too high during centrifugation in step S1, the degradation rate of sodium hyaluronate during centrifugation was too fast. On the one hand, this led to the destruction of the longitudinal crosslinking structure; on the other hand, due to the degradation of sodium hyaluronate, the transverse crosslinking structure was not able to be fully formed. Eventually, the gel product obtained had a poor crosslinking degree and it was difficult to form a three-dimensional gradient network structure. Therefore, the viscous modulus and elastic modulus of Comparative Example 4 are lower than those of Example 1.
[0119] In Comparative Example 6, the ultrasonic crosslinking time in step S3 was too long. However, if the ultrasonic treatment time is too long, the structure of molecular transverse rearrangement will be broken instead, and the structure changes from linear rearrangement to overall diffusion or dispersion, affecting the transverse crosslinking structure of the sample. Through Figure 2 the data, it can also be seen that the value of the viscous modulus of Comparative Example 6 is lower, which also proves that too long ultrasonic crosslinking treatment cannot strengthen the formation of the transverse network structure, but will break the intermolecular transverse crosslinking structure, resulting in a decrease in the viscoelasticity and flexibility of the product.
[0120] 3. Pushing force test
[0121] Using a 1.0 mL syringe from Weigao and a 30G RW needle from Terumo, the test was carried out under the body sliding mode of an intelligent electronic tensile testing machine (XLW-PC), and the test speed was selected as 30 mm / min.
[0122] According to the summary of data on similar products and clinical literature, it can be known that the ideal pushing force range for filler products that are convenient for doctors to inject is 5-40 N. From Figure 3 the pushing force data shown, it can be seen that the pushing force of Example 1 < 20 N, which is convenient for doctors to inject and use in actual operation.
[0123] During the preparation of the gel product of Comparative Example 2, the centrifugation speed was too fast and the centrifugal force became larger, resulting in uneven dispersion of sodium hyaluronate (more sodium hyaluronate was concentrated on the outside, while less sodium hyaluronate was in the area near the center). After crosslinking, the prepared gel product had poor uniformity and orderliness, resulting in uneven force application during the pushing process and the need to apply force locally during pushing. Therefore, its pushing force data increased compared with Example 1.
[0124] In the preparation process of Comparative Example 3, the centrifugation time was too long, and long-term centrifugation would increase the risk of its adhesion to the tube wall and also make the distribution of the crosslinking agent uneven, resulting in different particle sizes and hardness in the gel product. Therefore, the pushing force of the gel product of Comparative Example 3 increased compared with Example 1.
[0125] If no centrifugation was carried out after adding the crosslinking agent in Comparative Example 5, the crosslinking agent would be mainly concentrated in the central part, while the content of the crosslinking agent on both sides was less, resulting in uneven distribution of the crosslinking agent and too large a difference in the crosslinking degree in the prepared gel product. Therefore, the pushing force of the gel sample prepared in Comparative Example 5 was too large and not convenient for injection compared with Example 1.
[0126] It was found by comparing Example 1 with Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 3, and Comparative Example 5 that when the uniformity of the gel was poor, its pushing force would increase.
[0127] 4. Microscope photos
[0128] The microscope photos of the semi-fluid micro-crosslinked gel were taken by dispersing a small amount of the sample in methylene blue solution, placing it on a glass slide, covering it with a coverslip, and observing and photographing it under an Olympus (Olmpus CX 33).
[0129] Observing Examples 1-3, Comparative Example 1, and the commercially available similar product Restylane Defyne (product name: Restylane Defyne, model specification 1 mL; production batch number: 21545; production manufacturer: Q-med AB, Seminariegatan 21 SE-75228) under the microscope, it can be seen thatFigure 4 The network structures of the gel products prepared in Examples 1-3 are compact and complex. However, the commercially available product Restylane Defyne is a granular gel under a microscope. The gel sample prepared in Comparative Example 1 lacks a transverse cross-linked vein structure under a microscope, and the longitudinal cross-linked structure formed is looser and has fewer cross-linking points compared with that in Example 1. This further shows that the microstructure of the semi-fluid micro-cross-linked gel prepared in Examples 1-3 has a flexible cross-linked structure with linear, reticular, and different density regions, and the interlacing of multiple structures can enhance the cohesiveness of the gel and result in a slower degradation rate.
[0130] 5. Cohesiveness evaluation
[0131] At room temperature, 1 mL of the semi-fluid micro-cross-linked gel was mixed with 0.1 mg of toluidine blue until the dye was evenly distributed in the semi-fluid micro-cross-linked gel matrix for about 3 min. Subsequently, the colored semi-fluid micro-cross-linked gel was drawn into a 1 mL glass syringe and then injected into water at a constant rate of 50 mm / min using an automatic extrusion device, and a magnetic stirrer was started. Photos were taken and recorded at extrusion times of 15 s, 75 s, and 90 s, respectively. The experimental results are as Figure 5 shown. It can also be seen from the Figure 5 cohesiveness results that the gel product prepared in Example 1 did not show dispersion in water at extrusion times of 15 s, 75 s, and 90 s.
[0132] However, dispersion occurred in Comparative Example 1 at an extrusion time of 15 s, and by an extrusion time of 75 s, the gel product prepared in Comparative Example 1 had completely disintegrated, indicating that without the step of ultrasonic cross-linking, the gel prepared lacked cross-linking in the transverse structure and did not form a three-dimensional gradient cross-linked network. Therefore, when an external stress occurred, the gel prepared in Comparative Example 1 was prone to spreading and losing its shape.
[0133] The gel product prepared in Comparative Example 2 started to show dispersion at an extrusion time of 75 s. This is because during the centrifugal cross-linking process in Comparative Example 2, the centrifugal rate was too fast, resulting in uneven distribution of sodium hyaluronate, and the internal cross-linking degree of the gel product prepared after cross-linking was uneven, thus affecting the cohesiveness of the product.
[0134] Through Figure 5It can be seen that the gel prepared in Comparative Example 3 started to disperse at an extrusion time of 15 s, and the phenomenon of wall sticking occurred. By the extrusion time of 90 s, most of the structure of Comparative Example 3 had dispersed. This shows that too long a centrifugation time does not make the crosslinked structure tighter, but instead the prepared gel product has poor cohesiveness. This may be because excessive centrifugation causes excessive sedimentation of sodium hyaluronate, affecting the penetration of the subsequent crosslinking agent, resulting in poor uniformity of the crosslinking density. On the other hand, too long a centrifugation time causes a thick deposition layer of sodium hyaluronate macromolecules to form on the tube wall, affecting the effect of subsequent ultrasonic treatment, resulting in defects in both the longitudinal crosslinking network and the transverse crosslinking network existing in the system, thus leading to poor support and cohesiveness.
[0135] It can be seen that Figure 5 when the gel prepared in Comparative Example 5 reached an extrusion time of 90 s, although it was different from the state of almost completely dispersing shown in Comparative Examples 1-3, partial dispersion of the gel in Comparative Example 5 also occurred. This shows that although a longitudinal and transverse cross-linked network structure can still be formed without continuing the centrifugation operation after adding the crosslinking agent, this is only by relying on the diffusion of crosslinking agent molecules to crosslink with sodium hyaluronate. However, within a certain period of time, the crosslinking agent molecules cannot diffuse evenly, so the crosslinking agent is unevenly distributed, and the crosslinking uniformity of the prepared gel is poor, especially there are defects in the longitudinal crosslinking structure, resulting in limited formation of the three-dimensional gradient crosslinking network and poor support and cohesiveness.
[0136] 6. Enzymatic resistance
[0137] Take 1 g of the semi-fluid micro-crosslinked gel, add 1 mL of 20 U / mL HA enzyme solution, and shake on a shaker at 37 °C and 150 r / min for 0 min, 30 min, 90 min, 150 min, 5 h, 8 h, and 24 h (sampling is carried out separately for each node). Heat the sample to 100 °C and react for 10 min to stop the enzymatic reaction. Take 1 g of the sample at the 0 min node, add 10 mL of 0.5 mol / L sulfuric acid solution, place it in a constant temperature oven at (95 ± 5) °C, heat for 2 h to completely dissolve it, add 10 mL of 1 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution to neutralize the sulfuric acid, transfer the solution to a 100 mL volumetric flask, add water to make up the volume and shake well for standby. Take 0.2 g of the sample at the remaining nodes and dilute it to 15 mL, 20 mL, and 25 mL with purified water respectively. Filter the diluted solution with quantitative slow filter paper as the test solution, and test and calculate the sodium hyaluronate content according to the method for determining the sodium hyaluronate content in Appendix C of "Crosslinked Sodium Hyaluronate Gel for Plastic Surgery" (YY / T 0962-2021). Taking the 0 min node as a control, investigate the degradation of the samples at each time point. The specific results are shown in Table 1. Table 1 is a record table of the in vitro degradation rate values of Example 1, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 5, and Comparative Examples 7-8 at different time periods.
[0138] Table 1 Record of in vitro degradation rate values of Example 1, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 5, and Comparative Examples 7 - 8 at different time periods
[0139] Degradation rate / % Example 1 Comparative Example 1 Comparative Example 5 Comparative Example 7 Comparative Example 8 30 min 22.46 60.04 42.19 62.12 38.78 90 min 30.05 103.05 73.24 85.08 77.88 160 min 48.48 103.05 96.47 101.45 92.95 300 min 73.92 103.05 102.38 101.45 102.21 480 min 103.41 103.05 103.11 101.45 100.04
[0140] It can be seen from the data in Table 1 that the gel product prepared in Example 1 degraded by less than 50% after being placed for 160 min, while in Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 5, Comparative Example 7, and Comparative Example 8, the degradation rate was > 90% when placed for 160 min. Among them, Comparative Example 1 had completely degraded at 160 min, indicating that the anti - degradation property of the gel product prepared in Comparative Example 1 was much lower than that of Example 1. This shows that the anti - degradation property of the longitudinally cross - linked network structure in the gel product of Comparative Example 1 is much lower than that of the three - dimensional gradient cross - linked network structure in Example 1.
[0141] In Comparative Example 5, it had degraded by 96.47% at 160 min, indicating that without centrifugation after adding the cross - linker, the distribution of the cross - linker would be uneven, resulting in an uneven overall cross - linked structure of the gel, and even unreacted cross - linkers being wrapped and unable to participate in subsequent cross - linking reactions, thus making it difficult to form a three - dimensional gradient cross - linked network structure and leading to a faster degradation rate. In Comparative Example 7, it had completely degraded at 160 min, indicating that without standing after ultrasonic treatment and directly proceeding to the next step of operation, the horizontal cross - linked structure of the product was not fully formed, the overall cross - linking degree was weak, resulting in defects or even difficulty in forming a three - dimensional gradient cross - linked network structure, and the degradation rate of the gel was also fast.
[0142] In Comparative Example 8, it had degraded by 92.95% at 160 min, indicating that during the cross - linking and standing process after ultrasonic treatment, the temperature was too high, which would accelerate the degradation rate of sodium hyaluronate in the alkaline solution, resulting in a weakened overall cross - linking strength of the gel, an unstable structure, and thus a faster enzymatic hydrolysis rate compared to Example 1.
[0143] 7. Cytotoxicity
[0144] Mouse fibroblasts (NCTC Clone 929, L cell, L - 929, derivative of Strain L) were cultured in MEM medium containing antibiotics and 10% serum in an incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2. When the cell density reached 80%, they were digested with trypsin and collected for counting. The cell concentration was adjusted to 1×10 5 cells / mL; the above cell suspension was added to a 96 - well plate, 100 μL per well, for a total of 1×10 4 cells / well, and cultured at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 24 h. The test samples were prepared at a concentration of 0.2 g / mL in serum - containing medium and extracted in a shaker for 24 h at a temperature of 37°C and a rotation speed of 100 r / min.
[0145] After the culture was completed, the culture medium in the culture plate was discarded, and the leaching solution, negative control, positive control, and blank control were added to each group, with 5 wells in each group. The plate was placed in an incubator at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 24 h. Subsequently, the cell culture plate was taken out, the culture medium in it was discarded, 50 μL of MTT staining agent (1 mg / mL) was added to each well, and the plate was placed in an incubator at 37°C with 5% CO2 and saturated humidity for 2 h;
[0146] Finally, the liquid in the culture plate was discarded, 100 μL of isopropanol was added to each well, shaken and mixed evenly, and then placed in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader for reading at 570 nm (reference wavelength 620 nm). For each concentration group and the positive control group, the relative cell survival rate was calculated based on the OD value of the blank control group;
[0147] Relative cell survival rate (%) = (average OD value of the test group / average OD value of the blank control group), and the blank control group was recorded as 100%; the results were as Figure 6 shown. The relative cell survival rates of Example 1, the negative control group, and the positive control group were 100%, 98%, and 0%, respectively.
[0148] The cell morphology of each group was observed under an inverted microscope (XL Core), and the results were as Figure 6 shown. The cell morphology of the negative control was similar to that of Example 1, without cell lysis or decreased cell proliferation. Considering the cell proliferation rate and cell morphology, it can be determined that the semi-fluid micro-crosslinked gel has no cytotoxicity. This indicates its high biosafety.
[0149] 8. Tissue compatibility experiment
[0150] SD rats (250 - 300 g) were divided into two groups, A and B, and anesthetized with 2% isoflurane. In group A, 0.2 mL of the gel product prepared in Example 1 was subcutaneously injected into each SD rat; in group B, 0.2 mL of the gel product prepared in Comparative Example 9 was subcutaneously injected into each SD rat. Two weeks after the injection, the rats in groups A and B were sacrificed, and the tissues at the injection sites were taken. Then the obtained tissue samples were fixed in formalin solution, and after dehydration, treatment with a clearing agent, wax infiltration, embedding, etc., tissue sections were made. The sections were then dewaxed in xylene, hydrated, stained with hematoxylin for 5 minutes, rinsed with water, differentiated with hydrochloric acid ethanol for several seconds, then rinsed with running water to turn blue for 10 - 15 minutes, and finally stained with eosin (HE) for 1 minute. Finally, after dehydration, treatment with xylene for transparency, and mounting, they were observed under a microscope.
[0151] Through Figure 7Under the microscope, the section results can intuitively show that the gel prepared in Example 1 has good compatibility with various parts of the tissue (epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous tissue), forming fibrous interweaving, and new blood vessels can be seen growing in; while the gel product prepared in Comparative Example 9 only remains at the injection site and forms an obvious boundary with the tissue. It can be seen from this that the gel product with a three-dimensional gradient cross-linked network structure prepared in Example 1 can better mimic the natural tissue hierarchy, be highly compatible with the tissue, reduce the body's immune rejection reaction, and have good biocompatibility; while the gel prepared in Comparative Example 9, due to only using sodium hyaluronate with a single molecular weight and not forming a three-dimensional cross-linked network structure with a gradient distribution of cross-linking density, has poor structural matching with the surrounding tissue, resulting in obvious foreign body reactions and immune rejection reactions.
