[0056] The oral fixation pins prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5 are subjected to performance testing, and the test items and test methods are as follows: Bonding strength test, under the condition of tensile rate 1 mm / min, ambient temperature 25℃, using universal material testing machine, vertical tensile load was applied to the coating and substrate to peel off, the maximum load value was recorded, and the interfacial bonding strength was calculated; Degradation rate test, under the condition of simulated body fluid SBF immersion environment, temperature 37±1℃, continuous immersion for 30 days, using precision 0.1 mg analytical balance to measure the average mass loss per week, and the linear degradation rate was calculated; Biocompatibility test, in the cell culture environment, L-929 fibroblast cells were inoculated on the surface of the sample at a density of 1×10 4 cells / cm 2 After 24 hours of culture, the relative proliferation rate of cells was determined by CCK-8 method, and the cytotoxicity grade was evaluated; Mechanical property test, using universal material testing machine, three-point bending test was carried out at a loading rate of 0.5 mm / min, the load value at the moment of fracture was measured, and the bending strength was calculated.
[0057] The test data of the oral fixation pins prepared in examples 1-3 and comparative examples 1-5 were recorded in the following table: Test item Bond strength (N) Degradation rate (mm / year) Oxygen index (%) Flexural strength (MPa) Example 1 72±3 0.040±0.005 32±1 135 Example 2 68±2 0.045±0.005 31±1 132 Example 3 75±3 0.035±0.005 33±1 140 Comparative Example 1 40±5 0.12±0.02 28±1 100 Comparative Example 2 45±3 0.20±0.03 26±1 95 Comparative Example 3 38±4 0.15±0.02 27±1 90 Comparative Example 4 50±3 0.10±0.01 29±1 105 Comparative Example 5 30±4 0.24±0.04 25±1 85 By comparing and analyzing the data in the table, it can be seen that the oral fixation nail prepared by the process in Examples 1-3 has more excellent performance than Comparative Examples 1-5, which shows that the polyorthoester coating exhibits hydrophobic characteristics in the weak alkaline environment of the oral cavity, forming a dense physical barrier to isolate the direct contact between the body fluid and the magnesium alloy substrate, slowing down the degradation rate of the substrate material, and ensuring that the fixation nail maintains stable mechanical strength and fixation effect during the bone regeneration period; at the same time, through careful design of the molecular chain, a continuous and uniform film layer structure is formed, filling the micro defects on the surface of the magnesium alloy, avoiding premature failure caused by local stress concentration during the degradation process, thereby prolonging the service life of the fixation nail and providing a reliable time window for bone tissue regeneration. The sandblasting process creates a micro-rough structure on the surface of the magnesium alloy substrate, enhancing the interfacial bonding force of the coating and the substrate; by controlling the synergistic effect of the abrasive particle size and air pressure, the surface roughness is optimized, so that the polyorthoester coating can penetrate into the substrate micropores and form mechanical interlocking, preventing the coating from peeling or falling off during implantation or body fluid erosion; in addition, this treatment also enhances the active site density on the surface of the substrate, promoting the chemical bonding of the coating material at the interface, and building a firm and durable composite system to ensure that the fixation nail always maintains integrity and functionality in the dynamic oral environment. The degradation regulation mechanism of the polyorthoester coating cooperates with the magnesium alloy substrate to achieve overall optimization of biocompatibility; the slow degradation process of the coating releases a controllable concentration of magnesium ions, avoiding the cytotoxicity reaction caused by excessive ion levels, and at the same time, regulating the proliferation and differentiation of bone cells through ion gradient, promoting bone tissue regeneration and healing; in addition, the synergistic degradation characteristics of the coating and the substrate also form a time-matched release curve, ensuring stable ion supply and mechanical support during the key stage of bone regeneration, thereby comprehensively improving the clinical safety and treatment effect of the fixation nail.
[0058] By comparing and analyzing the relevant data in the table, it can be seen that the oral fixation nail prepared by the preparation process of the application has not only high bonding strength and bending strength, but also excellent degradation control performance, flame retardancy and biocompatibility. Therefore, the oral fixation nail and its coating preparation process provided by the application have a broader market prospect and are more suitable for promotion.
