Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to bone cement and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a calcium sulfate composite bone cement and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Calcium sulfate has become a very important medical bone repair implant material because it has many characteristics of ideal bone replacement materials, including biocompatibility, degradability, injectability, osteoconductivity and certain mechanical strength. It can be used in the surgery and treatment of diseases such as fractures, bone defects and bone tumors.

[0003] Calcium sulfate can be divided into calcium sulfate dihydrate, calcium sulfate hemihydrate, and calcium sulfate anhydrous based on its molecular structure and the amount of crystalline water it contains. Calcium sulfate hemihydrate can be further divided into α-calcium sulfate hemihydrate and β-calcium sulfate hemihydrate based on the dehydration temperature and system environment. The preparation and performance research of α-calcium sulfate hemihydrate (α-CSH) is crucial for the application and development of artificial bone implant materials.

[0004] Currently, commonly used methods for preparing α-CSH include autoclaving, hydrothermal processing, and atmospheric pressure saline solution processing. Autoclaving, hydrothermal processing, and other commonly used methods have high production costs and energy consumption, which limits their industrial application. While the atmospheric pressure saline solution method significantly reduces production costs, it typically has a high saline concentration, making desalination difficult and, therefore, has not yet been widely adopted.

[0005] In addition, studies have shown that calcium sulfate, as a traditional bone repair material, only has osteoconductivity and does not have osteoinduction itself. It mainly provides physical support for the creeping replacement of new bone tissue by constructing a three-dimensional porous scaffold. Its osteoinductivity and antibacterial properties need to be further enhanced. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to solve the shortcomings of the above technology, the present invention provides a calcium sulfate composite bone cement and a preparation method thereof.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a calcium sulfate composite bone cement, including powder and liquid, wherein the powder is composed of 60-98% by mass of α-calcium sulfate hemihydrate and 2-40% by mass of metal powder, and the liquid is water or a sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution with a mass fraction of 0.01-2.5%, and the mass ratio of powder to liquid is 2:1.

[0008] Preferably, the metal powder is any one of zinc powder, iron powder, copper powder, manganese powder, cobalt powder and molybdenum powder, or alloy powder of several of them.

[0009] Preferably, the metal powder is zinc powder or iron powder or alloy powder thereof, wherein the mass ratio of zinc to iron in the alloy powder is 1 to 5:1.

[0010] Preferably, the metal powder is zinc powder, and its content accounts for 2-30% of the total powder amount.

[0011] Preferably, the metal powder is iron powder, and its content accounts for 3.5-22% of the total powder.

[0012] Preferably, the particle size distribution range of α-calcium sulfate hemihydrate is 0.5-50 μm, the particle size distribution range of the metal powder is 0.5-74 μm, and the purity thereof is ≥99.5%.

[0013] Preferably, the particle size distribution range of α-calcium sulfate hemihydrate is 0.5-20 μm, and the particle size distribution range of the metal powder is 0.5-35 μm.

[0014] Preferably, the liquid is a 0.5-1.5% sodium carboxymethylcellulose solution.

[0015] A method for preparing calcium sulfate composite bone cement comprises the following steps: Step S1, adding a certain amount of water into a container, setting the container rotation speed to 180-220 r / min, setting the heating temperature to 100-115°C, and continuing stirring and heating until the reaction is completed and the water occupies 30-60% of the container volume; Step S2: adding weighed succinic acid and calcium chloride to the container in sequence, dissolving, mixing and stirring to obtain a transparent solution; Step S3: Sodium sulfate is added to the transparent solution, and the transparent solution becomes a milky white suspension; Step S4: When the temperature of the milky white suspension reaches 95-105°C, start timing and react for 4-6 hours; Step S5, the reaction product is quickly filtered, and rinsed with water ≥95°C for 3 times, and then rinsed with anhydrous ethanol for 1 time, and then transferred to an oven at 110°C for 12-24 hours to obtain α-calcium sulfate hemihydrate; Step S6, weighing the prepared 60-98% calcium sulfate hemihydrate and 2-40% metal powder according to a ratio, and mixing them for 3-6 hours to obtain bone cement powder; Step S7, dissolving sodium carboxymethyl cellulose in water to obtain a 0.01-2.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution; Step S8: Mix the bone cement powder and liquid in a mass ratio of 2:1, stir and mix, and obtain calcium sulfate composite bone cement containing metal powder after solidification.

[0016] Preferably, in step S2, the mass ratio of succinic acid to water is 0.001-0.01, and the mass ratio of calcium chloride to water is 0.15-0.25; in step S3, the mass ratio of sodium sulfate to water is 0.05-0.15.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) Compared with the normal pressure salt solution method, the preparation of calcium sulfate hemihydrate uses soluble calcium chloride instead of water-insoluble calcium sulfate dihydrate as raw material, eliminating the requirements for the morphology, particle size and other parameters of the initial calcium sulfate dihydrate in the preparation process of calcium sulfate hemihydrate. It starts with a transparent solution, improves the reaction efficiency, and the reaction system is stable, which is conducive to the industrial production control of the process. α-calcium sulfate hemihydrate is prepared by the reaction raw material (calcium chloride) itself and high-temperature catalytic crystallization, and calcium chloride and sodium sulfate react and crystallize. (2) The prepared calcium sulfate hemihydrate is compounded with metal powder to prepare inorganic / metal composite bone cement. The addition of metal powder changes the color of calcium sulfate bone cement. For example, when zinc powder is added, it changes from white to gray, and when iron powder is added, it changes from white to brown-black. This makes it have a color difference with bone tissue and is used to distinguish the interface between bone and bone cement, which is beneficial for clinical operation and application. (3) During the hydration and solidification process of calcium sulfate, the metal powder is evenly dispersed in the calcium sulfate, acting as a reinforcing phase to increase the mechanical properties of the bone cement. At the same time, the zinc powder or iron powder reacts with water to generate zinc oxide or ferric hydroxide (or ferric oxide). The continuously released zinc ions or iron ions, after contacting bacteria, damage the bacterial cell membrane and interfere with bacterial metabolism, thus giving the metal powder-containing calcium sulfate bone cement certain antibacterial properties, increasing the porosity of the bone cement, and enhancing the bone inductivity of the bone cement. (4) The bone cement curing process only releases a slight amount of heat, and the unreacted metal iron powder is evenly dispersed in the calcium sulfate solid body. Under the action of the alternating magnetic field, the bone cement is heated by hysteresis, making the temperature of the calcium sulfate bone cement higher than 42°C, which kills or eliminates tumor cells and sterilizes them at high temperature.

[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] The bone cement of the present invention is mainly composed of calcium sulfate and metal powder. The calcium sulfate / metal powder bone cement has the advantages of high mechanical strength and degradable absorption. At the same time, zinc powder and the like undergo an oxidation reaction in an aqueous environment to produce partial zinc oxide, which has certain antibacterial properties. At the same time, a new method is used to prepare α-calcium sulfate hemihydrate, which overcomes the shortcomings of the existing technology. Excess soluble calcium chloride is used instead of water-insoluble calcium sulfate dihydrate as a raw material. Calcium chloride serves as both a reaction raw material and a crystal-transforming agent. The added calcium chloride first reacts with sodium sulfate to produce calcium sulfate dihydrate, reducing the concentration of the calcium chloride salt solution. The excess calcium chloride acts as a crystal-transforming agent, converting the prepared calcium sulfate dihydrate into calcium sulfate hemihydrate. Excess calcium chloride and other salts are removed through high-temperature water rinsing and ethanol rinsing processes to obtain pure calcium sulfate hemihydrate powder (as can be seen from the XRD pattern of Example 1, the powder contains only calcium sulfate hemihydrate). The desalination efficiency is high and the cost is reduced.

[0080] This invention uses a novel method to prepare calcium sulfate hemihydrate. Essential metal elements for the human body are compounded into the prepared calcium sulfate matrix to impart novel osteoinductive properties to the material. For example, the added metallic zinc powder is widely distributed in most tissues of the human body, but exhibits a highly specific distribution in bone tissue. It has been shown to have a direct and specific proliferative effect on osteoblasts. It can stimulate bone formation and mineralization by directly activating methionyl-tRNA synthetase in osteoblasts, while inhibiting osteoclast activity and maintaining bone metabolism homeostasis. Furthermore, the sustained release of zinc ions, upon contact with bacteria, also exhibits a certain degree of antibacterial properties by damaging bacterial cell membranes and interfering with bacterial metabolism.

Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by technicians in this technical field within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention also fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
