Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of biomaterials, and particularly relates to a multifunctional coating with a dense-porous double-layer structure on the surface of a magnesium alloy and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] The treatment of bone defects has always been an important topic in clinical research. Magnesium alloys have broad application prospects in the field of bone repair due to their good biocompatibility, degradability, and mechanical properties suitable for bone tissues. However, after magnesium alloys are implanted into the body, their degradation rate is too fast and they are extremely prone to corrosion. This situation will gradually erode the implant, causing its overall structure to be severely damaged, and finally making the implant completely lose its mechanical support function. In addition, the antibacterial properties and osteogenesis-promoting properties of magnesium alloys are not yet ideal, which not only increases the risk of postoperative infection but may also have an adverse impact on the repair effect of bone defects. There are many methods for surface modification of magnesium alloys, such as alloying surface modification, chemical coatings, and chemical conversion films. Among them, the coating modification technology forms an anti-corrosion layer on the surface of magnesium implants through physical coating or chemical deposition, significantly reducing the corrosion rate of implants in the body fluid environment, effectively delaying the attenuation of the mechanical properties of magnesium metal, making its corrosion rate match the fracture healing rate, and winning valuable time for the damaged bone tissue to recover mechanical strength. Bone tissue repair is divided into an inflammatory period of 3 - 7 days and a healing period of 3 - 4 months. For different stages of bone tissue repair, the implant needs to have different functions, that is, in the inflammatory period, the implant needs to have antibacterial properties to prevent the aggravation of inflammation; in the healing period, it needs to promote osteogenesis and calcium phosphate deposition, and at the same time have a moderate degradation rate to avoid losing the bearing capacity prematurely.
[0003] The following problems exist in the existing technical solutions for osteogenic coatings on the surface of magnesium alloys:
[0004] 1. Currently constructed coatings mostly start from the composition perspective, such as selecting mineralized bone analogs to deposit on the surface of magnesium alloys, but lack the bionic construction of polymer porous coatings from the perspective of bone tissue structure to guide the growth of osteoblasts.
[0005] 2. Although porous coatings are beneficial to promoting the nutrient diffusion rate and uniform cell distribution, they also make corrosive ions, bacteria, or microorganisms easy to enter, resulting in problems of matrix surface corrosion and infection. In addition, for polymer porous coatings, under the action of environmental external forces, they are easy to deform, causing the original pore structure to deform.
[0006] In summary, in order to provide a relatively pure and stable microenvironment for the formation of bone tissue, from the perspective of the integration of structure and function, how to develop a porous structure coating with excellent mechanical properties, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and osteogenesis-promoting properties while reducing the degradation rate of magnesium alloys is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0019] Furthermore, in step (2), the preparation method of the copper-containing complex is: a complexing reaction is carried out between the complexing ligand and the copper salt in a solvent, and after completion, it is centrifuged and washed with water to obtain; wherein, the mass ratio of the complexing ligand to the copper salt is 1:1 - 5; the complexing ligand is 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid, and the copper salt is copper chloride; the conditions of the complexing reaction are: reacting at 100 - 160 °C for 0.5 - 3 h; the bio-polymer includes one or more of regenerated silk fibroin, chitosan, gelatin, polylactic acid, and polyvinyl alcohol.
[0020] Furthermore, in step (3), the length of the degummed silk fiber is 20 - 300 μm; the silk mineralization treatment solution includes a calcium-containing compound solution and a phosphorus-containing compound solution. The calcium-containing compound solution is a calcium chloride solution with a concentration of 0.5 - 0.8 mol / l, and the phosphorus-containing compound solution is a sodium hydrogen phosphate solution with a concentration of 0.2 - 0.4 mol / l; the bioactive metal ions include one or more of strontium, cerium, magnesium, calcium, or gallium; the molar ratio of the bioactive metal ions, the phosphorus source, and astragalus lipid polysaccharide is 1 - 5:1 - 5:2 - 10; the number of cycles of alternating impregnation is 2 - 8 rounds, the impregnation temperature is 30 - 40 °C, and the impregnation time for each solution is 5 - 30 min.

[0024] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following remarkable advantages: The present invention sequentially prepares a dense layer and a porous layer on the surface of a magnesium alloy, solving the problems of poor barrier property, insufficient osteoinductive activity, and no antibacterial property of the existing magnesium alloy respectively. The dense layer, as the bottom layer, improves the bonding force between the porous layer and the magnesium alloy and can further play a role in protecting the magnesium alloy. The dense layer is a "brick and tile" structure composed of a transition metal carbide / nitride / calcium silicate nanowire composite with a two-dimensional layered structure and a positively charged polymer. The transition metal carbide / nitride / calcium silicate nanowire composite is formed by compounding two-dimensional layered MXene with one-dimensional calcium silicate nanowires, having a complex three-dimensional structure, so that the dense layer has better barrier property and mechanical properties. At the same time, calcium silicate nanowires have natural osteoinductive properties, which is beneficial to further improving the osteo-integration ability of the implant. The porous layer, as the surface layer of the composite coating, mimics the natural bone tissue in structure and has a good guiding effect on cell growth, adhesion, and spreading. However, traditional porous polymer coatings have problems of insufficient mechanical properties and easy collapse, resulting in deformation of the pore structure. In the present invention, a copper-containing complex / bio-polymer composite fiber and a mineralized silk fiber surface-loaded with bioactive metal ions and astragalus polysaccharide are added simultaneously. The two are distributed and interpenetrated in the porous coating. On the one hand, under the synergistic action of the two, the compressive strength of the porous layer can be effectively improved to prevent it from collapsing. On the other hand, the two fibers can be intertwined with each other in the coating, which can not only change the pore size on a three-dimensional scale but also increase the penetration path of corrosive ions to the inside, delaying the diffusion of the corrosive medium and increasing the barrier property. In the initial stage of stent implantation, macrophages and bacteria will aggregate and enter the porous layer, causing inflammation and infection. The astragalus polysaccharide on the surface of the mineralized silk fiber and the copper-containing complex in the composite fiber cortex can play a good role in reducing inflammation and antibacterial. In addition, the apatite with bioactive ions (such as strontium, cerium, magnesium, calcium, or gallium) on the surface of the mineralized silk fiber has a significant induction effect on osteoblasts. Furthermore, the coating matrix material used is a natural polymer material and a positively charged polymer. The two can improve the bonding force between the porous layer and the dense layer by virtue of positive and negative electrostatic attraction and non-covalent interaction. In summary, the unique structure and multifunctional coating proposed by the present invention not only provide a relatively pure and stable microenvironment for the formation of bone tissue to promote the repair and regeneration of bone defects but also can play a good role in protecting the magnesium alloy matrix.

The mass ratio of the composite fiber mat, the mineralized silk fibers with astragalus polysaccharide, strontium, and cerium ions loaded on the surface to chitosan is 1:1:4. After mixing, a porous layer precursor solution is prepared by magnetic stirring.

The dense layer precursor solution is coated on the alkali - heat - treated magnesium alloy substrate by spraying, dried to obtain a dense layer. Then, the porous layer precursor solution is sprayed onto the surface of the dense layer by spin - coating, and the sample is quickly immersed in liquid nitrogen, and then quickly immersed in a 0.3 mol / l cold NaOH ethanol solution (about - 20 °C). After rinsing with deionized water multiple times and freeze - drying, a porous layer is obtained.

After mixing, magnetically stir to obtain a porous layer precursor solution.
[0047] (5) Immerse the magnesium alloy in a 5 mol / l sodium hydroxide solution at 70 °C for 12 hours. Coat the alkali-heat-treated magnesium alloy substrate with the dense layer precursor solution by spraying method, and dry to obtain the dense layer. Then, spray the porous layer precursor solution onto the surface of the dense layer by spin coating method, and quickly immerse the sample in liquid nitrogen. Immediately immerse the obtained sample in a cold NaOH ethanol solution with a concentration of 0.5 mol / l (about -18 °C). After rinsing with deionized water multiple times, freeze-dry to obtain the porous layer.
[0048] (6) Immerse the material obtained in step (5) into a mixed solution of 75 mmol / L 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride and 35 mmol / L N-hydroxysuccinimide, and treat at 4 °C for 16 h, then take it out and dry.

The thickness ratio of the dense layer to the porous layer is 20:1.
[0050] The preparation process includes the following steps:

[0057] Comparative Example 1: Only a dense layer was constructed on the magnesium alloy surface, and the remaining steps were the same as those in Example 2.
[0058] Comparative Example 2: Only a dense layer was constructed on the magnesium alloy surface. Among them, transition metal carbides / nitrides / calcium silicate nanowire composites were not added to the dense layer, and the remaining steps were the same as those in Example 2.
[0059] Comparative Example 3: Only a porous layer was constructed on the magnesium alloy surface, and the remaining steps were the same as those in Example 2.
[0060] Comparative Example 4: Only a porous layer was constructed on the magnesium alloy surface, and mineralized silk fibers loaded with astragalus polysaccharide, strontium, and cerium ions on the surface and electrospun fibers with a copper-containing complex in the cortex were not added. The remaining steps were the same as those in Example 2.
[0061] Comparative Example 5: A dense layer and a porous layer were constructed on the magnesium alloy surface. Among them, in the porous layer, only mineralized silk fibers loaded with astragalus polysaccharide, strontium, and cerium ions on the surface were added, and the remaining steps were the same as those in Example 2.
[0062] Comparative Example 6: A dense layer and a porous layer were constructed on the magnesium alloy surface. Among them, in the porous layer, only silk fibers (without load on the surface) were added, and the remaining steps were the same as those in Example 2.
[0063] Comparative Example 7: A dense layer and a porous layer were constructed on the magnesium alloy surface. Among them, in the porous layer, only electrospun fibers were added, and the remaining steps were the same as those in Example 2.
[0064] Comparative Example 8: A dense layer and a porous layer were constructed on the magnesium alloy surface. Among them, in the porous layer, only electrospun fibers were added, and at this time, the fiber cortex had no copper-containing complex. The remaining steps were the same as those in Example 2.
[0065] For the above-mentioned examples, Figure 2 and Figure 3 are the surface morphologies of the dense layer and the porous layer in the multifunctional coating prepared in Example 2, respectively. The results show that the surface of the dense layer presents a granular shape, and in the porous layer, electrospun fibers and degummed silk fibers penetrate the pore structure. Figure 4 is the surface morphology of the porous layer in the multifunctional coating prepared in Example 3. By comparing Figure 3 and Figure 4 , it can be clearly seen that by changing the content of composite fibers and mineralized silk fibers loaded with metal ions such as astragalus polysaccharide, strontium, and cerium on the surface, the pore size can be effectively regulated.
[0066] Figure 5Polarization curves of the samples of pure magnesium alloy, Examples 2 - 3, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 3. It can be seen that covering the magnesium alloy surface with a dense layer alone (Comparative Example 1) and a porous layer alone (Comparative Example 3) can both increase the corrosion potential of the magnesium alloy, but the effect is limited. While covering both the dense layer and the porous layer simultaneously, the corrosion resistance of the magnesium alloy is improved, and with the increase in the total content of composite fibers and mineralized silk fibers surface - loaded with astragalus polysaccharide, strontium, and cerium ions, the corrosion resistance is enhanced.
[0067] Figure 6 CCK - 8 value diagrams of the samples of pure magnesium alloy, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 3, and Examples 1 - 3. It can be found that compared with pure magnesium alloy, a single dense layer, and a single porous layer, the samples with a composite double - layer are more conducive to the growth and proliferation of osteoblasts. In addition, from Examples 1 - 3, it shows that increasing the astragalus polysaccharide, cerium, strontium, and calcium ions loaded on the fiber surface helps to promote the proliferation of osteoblasts.

It can be seen that from Comparative Example 5 and Comparative Example 6, the antioxidant performance of the coating can be improved by loading astragalus polysaccharide on the silk fiber surface. From Examples 1 - 3, it can be known that with the increase in the content of silk fibers surface - loaded with astragalus polysaccharide, strontium, and cerium ions, the antioxidant performance of the composite coating gradually increases.
[0069] Tables 1 and 2 are respectively the test results of the antibacterial rates of the samples of Examples 1 - 3 and Comparative Examples 1 - 8. It can be found from the tables that in the dense layer, adding the MXene / calcium silicate nanowire composite can, to a certain extent, help improve the antibacterial property. In the porous layer, adding both mineralized silk fibers surface - loaded with astragalus polysaccharide, strontium, and cerium ions and electrospun fibers with a copper - containing complex in the cortex can help improve the antibacterial property of the samples, and among them, the antibacterial effect of the latter is more excellent. In the porous layer, with the increase in the content of both, the antibacterial property is continuously improved.

[0078] Table 3 shows the compressive strength and coating bonding strength of the samples of Examples 1 - 3. It can be seen that as the content of mineralized silk fibers loaded with astragalus polysaccharide, strontium and cerium ions on the surface and the composite fibers with a copper complex-containing cortex increases, the compressive strength of the composite coating gradually increases. In addition, as the ratio of the thickness of the dense layer to the porous layer increases, the bonding strength between the coating and the substrate gradually increases.
[0079] Table 4 shows the compressive strength and coating bonding strength of the samples of Comparative Example 1 - Comparative Example 8. It can be seen that compared with the silk fibers without surface loading, the mineralized silk fibers loaded with astragalus polysaccharide, strontium and cerium ions on the surface are more helpful in improving the compressive strength of the scaffold. For the composite fibers, whether the cortex is a copper complex does not affect the compressive strength of the scaffold. In addition, the bonding strength between the single porous layer and the magnesium alloy substrate is small. In the absence of the dense layer, the greater the compressive strength of the porous layer, the smaller the bonding strength between the coating and the substrate.
