TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of biomedical materials, in particular to a bioceramic microsphere soft tissue injection agent and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Since the latter half of the 20th century, the pursuit of facial rejuvenation has gradually evolved into a popular trend. Injection plastic surgery technology has been widely welcomed due to its simple operation, minimal trauma, high safety, short recovery period, and remarkable effect. This technology not only meets people's pursuit of beauty, but also quickly becomes a popular choice on the market due to its quick-acting characteristics. With the continuous progress of technology and the growing pursuit of beauty, the market demand for injection plastic surgery technology has shown explosive growth, becoming one of the preferred plastic surgery methods for many beauty seekers. In the field of medical cosmetic injection filling, the current mainstream filling materials mainly include non-autologous tissue injections. These materials not only include single-component hyaluronic acid (HA) and collagen, but also composite filling materials that can stimulate collagen and fibroplasia, such as polycaprolactone (PCL), poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), and calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA). These advanced materials have begun to be used in clinical applications and gradually occupy a place in the injection micro-plastic cosmetic market. However, hyaluronic acid is easily degraded by enzymes in the body, so it has a short retention time and only provides a temporary volume filling. In order to maintain the desired cosmetic results, regular injections are required. However, excessive injection of hyaluronic acid or its cross-linked form can cause excessive facial swelling and other problems such as puffy face due to high water swelling. Although PLLA or PCL as an injectable filling material has the advantage of stimulating collagen production, it can cause adverse reactions such as local ecchymosis, pain, hematoma, local inflammatory reaction, and edema that can last for 3 to 5 days. Hydroxyapatite, as a naturally occurring material in human tissue, has good biocompatibility and can effectively fill and repair soft tissue, providing appropriate structural support and maintaining the volume and shape after injection.
[0003] Chinese patent CN 110292655A discloses an injection filling preparation containing hydroxyapatite and a preparation method thereof, and evaluates the wrinkle removal effect of hydroxyapatite for soft tissue filling through clinical trials.
[0004] Chinese patent CN 117982735A discloses an antibacterial injectable cosmetic filler and its preparation method, hydroxyapatite microspheres are prepared by oil phase reaction method, and are mixed with collagen paste to be implanted subcutaneously in rabbits to show good filling effect.
[0005] To reduce the foreign body stimulation of the material to the tissue and reduce the occurrence of inflammatory response, hydroxyapatite is usually made into microspheres. Since hydroxyapatite is insoluble in water or organic solvents, it is difficult to prepare microspheres by emulsion polymerization, membrane emulsification, microfluidic method and other methods. It can be made into microspheres by hydrothermal method, spray drying method, sol-gel method, template method, etc. The spray drying method has the advantages of stable microsphere structure, uniform particle size, good result repeatability and easy industrial large-scale production.
[0006] However, due to the relative inertness of hydroxyapatite, the effect of promoting collagen secretion is not ideal. By doping silicon and magnesium elements on the basis of hydroxyapatite, calcium magnesium based silicate bioceramics can be obtained. Compared with hydroxyapatite, it has excellent bioactivity. During the degradation process, it can release Ca 2+ , Si 4+ , Mg 2+ and other ionic products, which can significantly promote vascularization and tissue regeneration, and further produce good collagen neogenesis and long-acting filling effect. Similarly, Chinese patent CN116672496A discloses an injectable tissue filler containing silicate ceramic microspheres and its preparation method and application. Silicate ceramic microspheres are prepared by sol-spray method, which can play a good filling role. However, silicate bioceramics has a high pH, which may cause a high local pH and cause serious inflammatory response, and is not suitable for direct use as a filler.
[0007] Therefore, how to reduce the inflammatory response caused by silicate materials and improve biocompatibility is of great significance to improve the safety of bioceramic materials. SUMMARY

[0105] A method for preparing bioceramic microspheres, specifically comprising the following processes:
[0106] 150g of beta-tricalcium phosphate and 105g of xonotlite are weighed and uniformly mixed, and then jointly loaded into a ball mill tank, and ball milled at a speed of 400r / min for 2h in an environment of 30°C to obtain ceramic powder;
[0107] Weigh 200g of ceramic powder, 5.0g of polyvinylpyrrolidone, 2g of polysorbate 60 and 500g of water and mix them evenly to prepare a spray slurry;
[0108] The spray slurry is fed into a spray dryer and sprayed at a temperature of 260°C to obtain bioceramic microsphere preforms;
[0109] The bioceramic microsphere preforms were sintered at 1500℃ for 2 hours. After sintering, they were naturally cooled to room temperature and sieved to obtain bioceramic microspheres with a particle size range of 20–50 μm. The bioceramic microspheres were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, and the results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the microspheres melted and adhered severely.
[0110] (1) Verification of the cell activity of the bioceramic microspheres obtained in Examples 5-13:
[0111] The cell viability of the bioceramic microspheres prepared in Examples 5-13 was evaluated using the CCK-8 assay. Human fibroblasts (MRC5) were seeded onto the surface of the bioceramic microspheres prepared in Examples 5-13, and cell proliferation rate was measured by absorbance on days 1, 3, 5, and 7. The results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown.
[0112] pass Figure 5 It can be observed that, compared with preparations 8-13, the bioceramic microspheres prepared in preparations 5-7 exhibit significantly higher cell proliferation rates, indicating that the bioceramic microspheres obtained in preparations 5-7 have better biocompatibility. Compared with bioceramic microspheres prepared using only hydroxyapatite, magnesium feldspar, or calcium silicate, the bioceramic microspheres obtained in preparations 5-7 through the combined action of calcium phosphate and silicate may have a richer and more balanced ion release capacity containing calcium, phosphorus, silicon, and magnesium, which is conducive to cell adhesion, migration, and ingrowth of new tissue for local repair, thus resulting in a much higher cell proliferation rate than the bioceramic microspheres obtained in preparations 8-10. Through preparation examples 11 and 7, it was found that when the amount of β-tricalcium phosphate was reduced and the amount of leucosite was increased, the cell proliferation rate of the bioceramic microspheres prepared in preparation example 11 was significantly worse. A comparison of preparation examples 12 and 13 with preparation example 7 revealed that the cell proliferation rates of the bioceramic microspheres prepared in preparation examples 12 and 13 were relatively poor. This may be because the raw materials used in this system have certain requirements for calcination temperature; exceeding a certain range may result in insufficient or excessive calcination, affecting the activity of the bioceramic microspheres. This indicates that the raw materials, proportions, and calcination conditions have a significant impact on the bioceramic microspheres prepared according to this invention, and not all proportions can produce bioceramic microspheres with good cell activity according to the system of this invention.
[0113] (2) Test the maximum loading capacity, pH and push force of the bioceramic microspheres prepared in Preparation Examples 5-13:
[0114] Prepare six homogenizer mixing tanks numbered ①-⑨ respectively, and add 113.52 g of the gel carrier prepared in Preparation Example 3 to each of the nine mixing tanks;
[0115] Then, first add 1 g of the bioceramic microspheres prepared in Preparation Example 5 to the ① tank, and then put it into the homogenizer, control the homogenization pressure to be 20 MPa and the homogenization speed to be 1800 r / min, and perform high-pressure homogenization treatment, then add 1 g of the bioceramic microspheres prepared in Preparation Example 5 in small amounts and multiple times during the homogenization process until the gel in the ① tank appears a hard particle block, and record the cumulative addition amount of the bioceramic microspheres prepared in Preparation Example 5;
[0116] Similarly, Preparation Examples 6-13 are respectively dispersed into the ②-⑨ mixing tanks according to the above method, and the cumulative addition amount of the bioceramic microspheres prepared in Preparation Examples 6-13 is recorded respectively;
[0117] Finally, calculate the maximum loading capacity of the bioceramic microspheres prepared in Preparation Examples 5-13, and respectively test the pH using a pH meter, and test the push force using a universal testing machine at a speed of 30 mm / min, and the test results are shown in Table 1.
[0118] Table 1 Comparison of maximum loading capacity, pH and push force
[0119]
[0120]
[0121] *Note: In Table 1, " / " represents that it cannot be extruded or the needle is broken during the test, so the data cannot be measured.
[0122] As can be seen from Table 1, Preparation Examples 5-7 achieve higher microsphere loading capacity while maintaining lower push force. As can be seen from the table, with the change of the composition of the microspheres, the pH also changes significantly, the pH of Preparation Examples 5-7 is below 8, which is neutral or weakly alkaline; the pH of Preparation Examples 8-12 is above 8, which is alkaline. Sodium hyaluronate will completely ionize in an alkaline environment with high pH, resulting in an increase in the ionic strength of the solution, thereby reducing the flexibility of the molecular chain and the viscosity of the solution. This change makes the microspheres more likely to settle and difficult to form a stable suspended state in the gel carrier; although Preparation Example 13 has a pH close to neutral, the sintering temperature is too high, resulting in microsphere melting and serious adhesion, which can be seen from the fact that the needle is broken during the test. Preparation Example 13 has a pH close to neutral, but the sintering temperature is too high, resulting in microsphere melting and serious adhesion, which can be seen from the fact that the needle is broken during the test. Figure 4SEM images show that, therefore, it is extremely difficult to extrude. This can be due to the fact that in the present system, there are certain selective requirements for the raw materials, raw material ratio and sintering temperature for the preparation of bioceramic microspheres. Low pushing force and high microsphere load improve the convenience of the injection in clinical operation, and help to prolong the durability of collagen regeneration and repair effect.

[0138] Comparative Example 3
[0139] A preparation method of a bioceramic microsphere soft tissue injection, specifically comprising the following processes:
[0140] Take 120 g of the bioceramic microspheres obtained in Preparation Example 7 and slowly add them to 80 g of the gel carrier obtained in Preparation Example 3 for mixing, and then put them into a homogenizer, control the homogenization pressure at 20 MPa and the homogenization speed at 1800 r / min, and high-pressure homogenize for 10 min, so that the bioceramic microspheres are fully dispersed in the gel carrier; after the homogenization is completed, the obtained composite material is loaded into a 1.5 mL syringe, and then placed in a high-pressure sterilizer at 121 ℃ for sterilization for 30 min, to obtain a bioceramic microsphere soft tissue injection, and test the pushing force thereof.
[0141] Comparative Example 4
[0142] A preparation method of a bioceramic microsphere soft tissue injection, specifically comprising the following processes:
[0143] 63.23 g of the bioceramic microspheres obtained in Preparation Example 8 were slowly added into 154.81 g of the gel carrier obtained in Preparation Example 3, mixed, and then placed into a homogenizer, and the homogenization pressure was controlled at 20 MPa, the homogenization speed was controlled at 1800 r / min, and the bioceramic microspheres were fully dispersed in the gel carrier by high-pressure homogenization for 10 min; after the homogenization, the obtained composite material was loaded into a 1.5 mL syringe, and then placed into a high-pressure sterilizer at 121 ℃ for sterilization for 30 min, to obtain a bioceramic microsphere soft tissue injection, and the push force thereof was tested.
[0144] The push forces of the soft tissue injections obtained in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 are shown in Table 2 below.
[0145] Table 2: Comparison of push forces
[0146] Material source Pushing force (N) Example 1 20.34 Example 2 37.20 Example 3 30.41 Comparative Example 1 129.12 Comparative Example 2 9.03 Comparative Example 3 109.59 Comparative Example 4 103.26
[0147] As can be seen from the comparison of the push forces in Table 2, in the present system, as the content of the bioceramic microspheres increases, the push force of the injection increases, that is, the higher the loading amount, the more difficult the injection is to be extruded. The push forces of Examples 1 to 3 are small, and the extrusion is smooth; the material of Comparative Example 1 is hydroxyapatite, and the bioceramic microspheres prepared by the method are difficult to disperse in the gel, which may be due to the fact that the amount of the biological macromolecule in the gel carrier is too high, so that the filler prepared is not uniform, and it is difficult to extrude; Comparative Example 2 contains less bioceramic microspheres, so the extrusion is smooth, but reducing the amount of the bioceramic microspheres is not conducive to the function of the injection; Comparative Example 3 contains more bioceramic microspheres than the ratio provided in the present application, and the push force is high, which is difficult to extrude. Comparative Example 4 uses hydroxyapatite nano-powder as the ceramic powder, and the bioceramic microspheres prepared therefrom have a large push force, which is not suitable for injection, which may be due to the fact that in the present system, the raw materials and the ratio for preparing the bioceramic microspheres have certain selectivity requirements. It is indicated that the ratio of the bioceramic microspheres and the gel carrier and the selection of the formula raw materials are changed at will, which can result in poor loading amount of the bioceramic microspheres of the injection, and can easily increase the viscosity of the injection, which is not conducive to use.
[0148] (3) Evaluation of the rheological properties of the soft tissue injection
[0149] The rheological properties of the bioceramic microsphere soft tissue injections obtained in Example 3 and Comparative Example 1 were evaluated using a parallel plate rheometer (Haake Mars 40, Germany). Tests involved measuring rheological properties under applied stress, recording the deformation behavior of the material under constant stress and its recovery under zero stress, and determining the composite modulus by applying oscillating stress within the viscoelastic range of the soft tissue injection. Viscosity, storage modulus, and loss modulus were measured at a frequency of 1 Hz and an oscillation force of 100 Pa. Results are shown below. Figure 6 In this context, (A) represents the rheological properties of Example 3, and (B) represents the rheological properties of Comparative Example 1.
[0150] pass Figure 6 It can be observed that the bioceramic microsphere soft tissue injection prepared in Example 3 exhibits good shear-thinning behavior, meaning that the viscosity of the injection significantly decreases with increasing shear rate. This characteristic not only helps improve the flowability of the material during injection but also reduces the applied force, making the operation more convenient. Meanwhile, G' and G" also reflect the good elasticity and deformation resistance of the bioceramic microsphere soft tissue injection prepared in Example 3, indicating that it can partially recover its initial structure after shear stress relief, thus better maintaining the stability of the filling morphology after injection, contributing to improved injection durability and aesthetic effects. In contrast, the bioceramic microsphere soft tissue injection prepared in Comparative Example 1 exhibits weakened shear-thinning ability and high viscosity. Although it has stronger load-bearing capacity, it is not conducive to its extrusion from the syringe. This indicates that, with a fixed loading of bioceramic microspheres, the ratio of the gel carrier has a significant impact on the final prepared bioceramic microsphere soft tissue injection; not all ratios can achieve good rheological properties.
[0151] (4) Evaluation of collagen regeneration performance of bioceramic microsphere soft tissue injection
[0152] To verify the collagen regeneration performance of the bioceramic microsphere soft tissue injection prepared in this invention, subcutaneous implantation experiments were conducted on animals using the bioceramic microsphere soft tissue injections prepared in Example 3 (experimental group) and Comparative Example 2 (control group). The local inflammatory response and collagen regeneration were observed in rabbits after implantation of the injection.
[0153] Experimental methods
[0154] 1) General anesthesia was administered via intravenous injection of 10% chloral hydrate. The rabbit's back was shaved to prepare the injection area. The prepared experimental animal was placed in a prone position on the operating table.
[0155] 2) Bioceramic microsphere soft tissue injection was implanted into the subcutaneous tissue of the rabbit's back using a 27G injection needle;
[0156] 3) After the procedure, each animal was housed in a separate cage.
[0157] Experimental observation
[0158] 1) Observe the condition of the subcutaneous filler and local tissues at specific time points after the filler procedure;
[0159] 2) Specimens were taken from the implantation site, fixed with 10% formaldehyde, and after routine decalcification, dehydration, paraffin embedding, and serial sectioning, hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining and Sirius red staining were performed.
[0160] 3) Observe the inflammatory response and collagen regeneration around the implantation site under an optical microscope, and observe the type of collagen under a polarized light microscope.
[0161] Result evaluation: such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the bioceramic microsphere soft tissue injection in the experimental group (Example 3) exhibited good biocompatibility. No obvious inflammatory reaction was observed around the material, with only a small number of macrophages surrounding it, and fibroblast formation was visible, forming a thin and flat capsule around the microspheres. Furthermore, the fibroblasts participated in collagen regeneration and showed a significant collagen regeneration effect. Polarized light microscopy observation results showed that within 2 weeks after injection, it mainly promoted the production of type III collagen; by 2 months, type I collagen began to be produced; and by 6 months, a large amount of type I collagen was produced, thereby forming a collagen network structure with good support in the skin. In contrast, the bioceramic microsphere soft tissue injection in the control group (Comparative Example 2) also had good biocompatibility, but the collagen regeneration effect was significantly weaker than that in the experimental group. It can be seen that although reducing the number of bioceramic microspheres can improve the pushing effect of the prepared bioceramic microsphere soft tissue injection, the corresponding therapeutic effect is reduced, which is not conducive to use.
[0162] The results above show that the bioceramic microsphere soft tissue injection prepared according to the preparation method provided by the present invention has good biocompatibility and collagen regeneration effect.
