Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomimetic medical materials technology, and in particular to a biomimetic scaffold material for promoting the repair and reconstruction of infected bone defects, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the incidence of bone defect-related diseases caused by factors such as trauma, tumors, and congenital malformations has been increasing year by year. Furthermore, factors such as open wounds, tissue spread, and surgical exposure often lead to bacterial invasion of the defect area, causing more complex infectious bone defects. The presence of infection severely impairs the regenerative capacity of local tissues and bone, making the defect difficult to heal, which greatly hinders the treatment and repair of bone defects. Therefore, the treatment of infectious bone defects has become a bottleneck problem that urgently needs to be solved in clinical practice.

[0003] Treatment of infected bone defects involves two main tasks: infection control and bone defect repair and reconstruction. For infection control, the most reliable approach currently is surgical debridement combined with antibiotic therapy. However, antibiotics have drawbacks such as a narrow antibacterial spectrum, disruption of the body's microbiome and immune environment, and long-term, high-dose use easily leads to drug resistance. Bacteria can evade antibiotic attacks through mechanisms such as secreting inactivating enzymes, drug efflux pumps, targeted modification, and penetration barriers. In contrast, physical antibacterial methods rarely induce drug resistance. Sonodynamic therapy, in particular, utilizes the interaction between ultrasound waves and sonosensitive agents to generate large amounts of reactive oxygen species, directly disrupting the integrity of pathogen cell membranes and inducing bacterial death. Compared to traditional antibiotic therapy, sonodynamic therapy not only possesses good broad-spectrum antibacterial activity but also causes less tissue damage and has strong tissue penetration capabilities, showing promising clinical application prospects in the treatment of infectious diseases.

[0004] For bone defect reconstruction, bone grafting is commonly used. Autologous bone grafting is the gold standard in clinical treatment, but it suffers from problems such as insufficient donor bone volume and complications in the donor area; while allogeneic transplantation is limited by potential immune rejection and infection risks. Therefore, the clinical application of natural bone grafts has significant limitations. In recent years, many bone substitute materials have emerged, which can promote bone repair by mimicking the composition and physicochemical properties of natural bone. However, existing bone repair materials generally lack self-antibacterial properties and have poor ability to regulate the immune microenvironment at the injury site, limiting their ability to treat more complex infectious bone defects. Macrophage burial can clear apoptotic cells and cell debris, prevent the continuous release of harmful substances, and maintain immune homeostasis. Studies have shown that restoring impaired macrophage burial can promote the regeneration and repair process of defective tissue. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Given the limitations of traditional clinical treatments and the current state of research in the field of bone defect repair, the purpose of this invention is to provide a biomimetic scaffold material that can achieve highly efficient antibacterial activity under ultrasound irradiation and promote the repair and reconstruction of infected bone defects by regulating macrophage burial. This invention also includes its preparation method and application.

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A method for preparing a biomimetic scaffold material that promotes the repair and reconstruction of infected bone defects involves: encapsulating oxygen-vacancy titanium dioxide nanorods within collagen under temperature control, and then directionally depositing mineralized crystals within the interstitial regions of the collagen to obtain a porous biomimetic scaffold with a bone-like structure. This method improves the mechanical and osteoconductive properties of the scaffold material while endowing it with multi-dimensional and multifunctional characteristics to better meet clinical treatment needs.

[0008] Among them, the oxygen-vacancy titanium dioxide nanorods (TiO2) 2-x The preparation method of the titanium precursor solution is as follows: titanium tetrachloride and oleic acid are used as raw materials to prepare a titanium precursor solution, which is then subjected to vacuum heating, cooling, rapid heating, washing and centrifugation to finally obtain oxygen vacancy titanium dioxide nanorods.

[0009] The titanium precursor solution is prepared by dissolving titanium tetrachloride and oleic acid in 1-octadecene to obtain a titanium precursor solution containing 0.2 M titanium tetrachloride and 1.0 M titanium tetrachloride.

[0010] In the preparation method of the oxygen vacancy titanium dioxide nanorods, 1-octadecene, oleylamine and oleic acid are added to a reactor and heated under vacuum at 90°C, then cooled to 60°C under N2; then a titanium precursor solution is injected into the system, and then rapidly heated to 290°C and held at this temperature for a period of time. The remaining titanium precursor solution is added at a certain rate. After cooling to room temperature, the titanium dioxide nanorods are collected, washed with isopropanol, and centrifuged at 8000 rpm to obtain oxygen vacancy titanium dioxide nanorods.

[0011] Furthermore, the type I rat tail collagen solution was concentrated to 8-10 mg / mL, and the prepared oxygen vacancy titanium dioxide nanorods were thoroughly mixed with the type I rat tail collagen solution and stirred at a constant temperature in the dark. Then, the mixture was slowly injected into a dialysis bag, and the dialysis bag was transferred to a mineralization solution that could provide mineralization-related substances such as calcium and phosphorus. The mixture was assembled in a constant temperature shaker for 7-10 days, and the mineralization solution was replaced with fresh solution every other day. After freeze-drying, cross-linking and washing steps, a three-dimensional porous biomimetic scaffold material was obtained.

[0012] The mineralization solution is prepared by weighing 8g NaCl, 3g Na2HPO4, 0.2g KCl, and 0.35g KH2PO4, dissolving them in 1L of deionized water for later use; before each use, take 100mL of the above solution, add 47.9mg K2HPO4, 66.2mg CaCl2•2H2O, and 10mg polyaspartic acid, and dissolve them thoroughly.

[0013] The freeze-drying process involves pre-freezing at -20°C for 24 hours before freeze-drying, followed by a freeze-drying time of 12-14 hours. The cross-linking agent used is an 80% anhydrous ethanol solution containing 1-ethyl(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC), and the cross-linking time is 4-5 hours.

[0014] The temperature of the light-proof, constant-temperature stirring is 25±0.5℃; the temperature of the constant-temperature shaking table is 37±0.5℃.

[0015] This invention utilizes temperature control to directionally assemble oxygen-vacancy titanium dioxide nanorods and mineralized crystals within collagen fibers. This creates a biomimetic scaffold material with ultrasonic response, macrophage regulation, and a structure and composition similar to natural bone, without altering the original topology and physicochemical properties of the collagen. The biomimetic scaffold material prepared by this invention can generate reactive oxygen species through acoustic dynamics under ultrasonic irradiation, exerting a highly efficient physical antibacterial effect. (Ultrasound: 1MHz, 50% vacancy ratio, 1.5 W / cm²) 2 Irradiation for 15 minutes can achieve an antibacterial rate of over 95%. It can also regulate the cytotoxicity of macrophages and further promote tissue repair.

[0016] The biomimetic scaffold material of this invention exhibits excellent biocompatibility and generates a large amount of reactive oxygen species under ultrasound, achieving highly efficient physical antibacterial effects and reducing the occurrence of infection. Furthermore, this scaffold material can modulate macrophage burial, promoting bone defect repair and reconstruction by reshaping the local immune microenvironment while exerting bone-guiding properties. Its efficacy has been preliminarily verified in an animal model of infectious bone defects. Implantation of this material at the defect site combined with ultrasound therapy yields excellent anti-infection and bone defect repair effects.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the biomimetic scaffold material for promoting the repair and reconstruction of infected bone defects of the present invention, its preparation method and application have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0018] (1) The biomimetic scaffold material prepared by the method of this invention generates a sonodynamic effect under ultrasonic irradiation, exhibiting highly efficient physical antibacterial properties. Through temperature control, oxygen-vacant titanium dioxide nanorods are assembled into the collagen fibers, enhancing the antibacterial and anti-infection effects of the material without altering the original topological structure and physicochemical properties of the collagen. Simultaneously, the material degrades slowly, maintaining the spatial structure of the bone defect area and regulating the burial function of macrophages, which is beneficial for the repair and reconstruction of bone defects. This material has significant clinical implications for the precise treatment of bone defect-related diseases, especially complex bone defects accompanied by infection.

[0019] (2) The therapeutic effect of the bionic scaffold material of the present invention has been preliminarily verified in an animal model of infectious bone defects. Implanting the material at the defect site and combining it with ultrasound treatment can achieve excellent anti-infection and bone defect repair effects.

[0020] (3) The successful preparation of the material of this invention can be used in the clinical treatment of refractory infectious bone defects, achieving precise antibacterial control in time and space, and further promoting the repair and regeneration of bone tissue, providing a new method for the clinical treatment of bone defects, especially bone defect-related diseases accompanied by infection. This material has the dual advantages of infection control and defect reconstruction, providing more options for the clinical treatment of infectious bone defects, reducing the overall treatment cost for patients, alleviating patient suffering and treatment side effects, and promoting the development of biomedicine.
