Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of implantable medical device technology, and in particular to a tissue reinforcement material for thoracic and abdominal surgery and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Postoperative tissue repair following thoracic and abdominal surgery faces multiple challenges, including insufficient mechanical support of the wound, high risk of postoperative infection, imbalance in inflammatory response regulation, and difficulty in constructing a tissue regeneration microenvironment. Currently widely used biodegradable materials such as polylactic acid (PLA), polyglycolic acid (PGA), and their copolymers (PLGA) provide short-term mechanical support, but their linear molecular structure leads to significant defects in their mechanical properties: tensile strength and elongation at break are negatively correlated, making it difficult to balance high strength with tissue adhesion. Studies have shown that the degradation rate of PLGA materials in body fluids does not match the tissue regeneration cycle; excessively rapid early degradation can lead to support failure, while excessive cross-linking prolongs degradation time and increases the risk of foreign body reactions. Furthermore, traditional polyester materials have strong surface hydrophobicity and generally low cell adhesion rates, severely limiting the targeted regeneration of the extracellular matrix.

[0003] Regarding functional improvements, existing technologies mostly employ physical blending methods to integrate drug components, but these suffer from burst release effects and uncontrollable release, failing to meet the need for sustained postoperative anti-infection. While pH-responsive carriers developed in recent years can achieve environment-triggered release, their single-response mechanism is insufficient to adapt to the dynamic changes in the postoperative microenvironment. Studies have indicated that local pH values ​​can drop to 5.5-6.5 during the inflammatory phase, while rising back to 7.2-7.4 during the repair phase. Existing carrier systems lack the ability to provide graded responses to different pH thresholds, leading to disordered release sequences of anti-inflammatory drugs and growth factors.

[0004] These technical bottlenecks severely restrict the effectiveness of tissue repair materials in complex and dynamic physiological environments. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and to propose a tissue reinforcement material for thoracic and abdominal surgery and its preparation method.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for preparing a tissue reinforcement material for thoracic and abdominal surgery, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1. Under nitrogen protection, glycerol, lactic acid, glycolic acid, and p-toluenesulfonic acid are added to a reaction vessel, heated to 100-110℃, stirred for 30-60 min, then heated to 130-140℃ and reduced to 5-10 kPa, reacting for 4-6 h. After cooling to room temperature, the resulting solid is washed, dried, and added to dichloromethane, stirred for 20-30 min, then poured onto a glass plate. After heating to 35-40℃ to evaporate the solvent, the film is peeled off. The film is then washed and dried to obtain the strength support layer material. The chemical reaction diagram is as follows:

[0008] In formula (1), glycerol, as the branching core, copolymerizes with lactic acid and glycolic acid under the catalysis of p-toluenesulfonic acid to form a copolymer with a hyperbranched structure. Compared with traditional linear polymers, this hyperbranched copolymer can improve the elongation at break while meeting the tensile strength of the tissue reinforcement material, so that it will not detach due to tissue movement in complex wounds. At the same time, the hyperbranched structure brings more surface hydroxyl groups, which enhances the hydrophilicity of the material and improves the adhesion rate of tissue cells, allowing tissue cells to grow along the skeleton of the reinforcement material, providing a good environment for postoperative recovery.

[0009] S2. Oxalic acid dihydrazide and deionized water were added to a reaction vessel and heated to 70-90℃ with stirring. Glyceraldehyde was then added to ethanol to prepare a glyceraldehyde ethanol solution. The glyceraldehyde ethanol solution was added to the reaction vessel and stirred for 3-5 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was filtered. The resulting white solid was washed with an ethanol / water mixture and dried to obtain an acylhydrazone compound. The chemical reaction equation is as follows:

[0010] Formula (2), the product was characterized by H NMR. The acylhydrazone bond in the product is easily hydrolyzed and broken under acidic conditions. It then participates in the preparation of microcapsule wall material. Under the condition that the local tissue pH is acidic due to inflammation in the body, it is rapidly hydrolyzed and broken to release the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent in the core material, which can sterilize and reduce inflammation at the inflamed site and accelerate the healing of the wound.

[0011] S3. Add the acylhydrazone compound obtained in S2 to deionized water, adjust the pH to 9-11, add sodium periodate, stir the reaction at room temperature for 1-3 hours, filter to collect the solid, wash, and dry to obtain the carboxylated acylhydrazone compound. The chemical reaction equation is as follows:

[0012] Formula (3), under alkaline conditions, sodium periodate breaks the C-C bond in the vicinal diol structure of the acylhydrazone compound, oxidizes the hydroxyl group to an aldehyde group and further oxidizes it to a carboxyl group. The product was characterized by H NMR.

[0013] S4. Chitosan-polylactic acid copolymer and soybean lecithin were added to dichloromethane and stirred at room temperature for 20-40 min to obtain an oil phase. Growth factors were then added to deionized water to obtain an aqueous phase. The aqueous phase was poured into the oil phase, and genipin was added. The mixture was stirred at 1000-1500 rpm for 1.5-2.5 h. After drying and evaporating the solvent, the microcapsules were collected by centrifugation, washed, and freeze-dried to obtain growth factor microcapsules. Genipin was used as a crosslinking agent to improve the mechanical strength of the microcapsule wall material through crosslinking with chitosan. The chemical reaction diagram is shown below:

[0014] Equation (4);

[0015] S5. The carboxylated hydrazone compound obtained in S3 was added to a phosphate buffer solution, along with 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide and N-hydroxysuccinimide. The mixture was stirred for 30-40 min, then chitosan-polylactic acid copolymer was added. The temperature was raised to 35-45℃, and the reaction was carried out for 3-5 h. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was filtered, washed, and dried to obtain the chitosan-polylactic acid-hydrazone copolymer. The schematic diagram of the chemical reaction process is as follows:

[0016] Equation (5);

[0017] S6. Add the chitosan-polylactic acid-hydrazone copolymer and soybean lecithin obtained in S5 to dichloromethane and stir at room temperature for 20-40 min to obtain the oil phase. Then add the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent to deionized water and stir for 20-40 min to obtain the aqueous phase. Pour the aqueous phase into the oil phase and add genipin. Stir at 1000-1500 rpm for 1.5-2.5 h. After drying and evaporating the solvent, collect the microcapsules by centrifugation, wash them, and freeze-dry them to obtain the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial microcapsules. When facing the inflammation that may occur on the postoperative wound surface, the local tissue pH decreases due to inflammation, and the tissue becomes weakly acidic. This matches the hydrolysis and breakage of hydrazone bonds under acidic conditions, making the wall material of the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial microcapsules break faster than that of the growth factor microcapsules. The anti-inflammatory and antibacterial microcapsules release the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent in the core material first to kill bacteria and reduce inflammation. Then, they combine with the growth factor microcapsules to release growth factors, achieving the purpose of inflammation regulation and tissue regeneration.

[0018] S7. Immerse the strength support layer material obtained in S1 in a borax buffer solution containing 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether, heat to 40-45℃, and shake for 1-2 hours. Then wash with deionized water, add to the borax buffer solution, and then add the growth factor microcapsules obtained in S4 and the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial microcapsules obtained in S6. Heat to 35-45℃ and shake for 1-2 hours. After washing and drying, the product is used to obtain a tissue reinforcement material for thoracic and abdominal surgery.

[0019] Preferably, in S1, glycerol, lactic acid, glycolic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid and dichloromethane are in a weight ratio of 0.1-0.2:2-3:2-3:0.005-0.01:20-30.

[0020] Preferably, in S2, the weight ratio of oxalic acid dihydrazide, glyceraldehyde, deionized water and ethanol is 1:1:8-12:3-7, and the ethanol / water mixed solution refers to the mixture of ethanol and water in a weight ratio of 3:7.

[0023] Preferably, the growth factor in S4 is fibroblast growth factor (bFGF).

[0024] Preferably, in S5, the carboxylated hydrazone compound, chitosan-polylactic acid copolymer, 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide, N-hydroxysuccinimide and phosphate buffer solution are in a weight ratio of 1:5-10:0.05-0.07:0.05-0.07:80-120.

[0025] Preferably, the pH of the phosphate buffer solution in S5 is 7.4.

[0026] Preferably, in S6, the chitosan-polylactic acid-hydrazone copolymer, soybean lecithin, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent, genipin, dichloromethane and deionized water are in a weight ratio of 2-5:0.5-2:0.1-0.15:0.02-0.2:100:20-50.

[0027] Preferably, the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent in S6 refers to vancomycin and dexamethasone mixed in a weight ratio of 1:1.

[0028] Preferably, the two types of microcapsules mentioned above in this invention are prepared by solvent evaporation method, using chitosan-polylactic acid copolymer or modified copolymer containing acylhydrazone bonds as wall material, soybean lecithin as emulsifier, dichloromethane as oil phase solvent, and deionized water as aqueous phase to dissolve growth factors or antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agents. The wall material and soybean lecithin are dissolved in dichloromethane to form an oil phase, and the core material is dissolved in water to form an aqueous phase. The aqueous phase is poured into the oil phase under high-speed stirring, and genipin crosslinking agent is added to form a stable W / O primary emulsion. Subsequently, dichloromethane is removed by evaporation, allowing the wall material to deposit and encapsulate the aqueous phase droplets. After centrifugation, collection, washing, and freeze-drying, microcapsules with uniform particle size are obtained.

[0029] Preferably, in S7, the strength support layer material, borax buffer containing 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether, borax buffer, growth factor microcapsules, and anti-inflammatory and antibacterial microcapsules are in a weight ratio of 1:10-20:10-20:0.01-0.03:0.02-0.05.

[0030] Preferably, the content of 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether in the borax buffer solution containing 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether in S7 is 8-15 wt%.

[0031] Preferably, the pH of the borax buffer solution in S7 is 9.0.

[0032] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a tissue strengthening material for thoracic and abdominal surgery, prepared by the above-mentioned method, for postoperative tissue repair and strengthening in the thoracic and abdominal cavities. It provides mechanical support through a strength support layer material, and combines the sequential release of growth factor microcapsules and anti-inflammatory and antibacterial microcapsules to achieve integrated treatment of postoperative infection prevention, inflammation regulation and tissue regeneration. It is especially suitable for digestive tract reconstruction, wound repair and adhesion prevention after tumor resection.

[0033] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0034] 1. This invention constructs a three-dimensional hyperbranched polyester network using glycerol as the branching core. Its unique molecular entanglement and branch slippage characteristics endow the material with both high strength and high toughness, enabling it to withstand the dynamic mechanical loads of complex thoracic and abdominal surgical wounds and preventing material tearing or detachment due to tissue movement. Simultaneously, the hydroxyl groups enriched on the hyperbranched structure significantly enhance the material's hydrophilicity, adsorbing extracellular matrix proteins through hydrogen bonding, providing a highly efficient adhesion interface for fibroblasts, promoting orderly cell growth along the material's framework, and creating a microenvironment conducive to tissue regeneration. This solves the problems of insufficient hydrophilicity and low cell adhesion rates of traditional linear polymers.

[0035] 2. Based on the acid-sensitive properties of acylhydrazone bonds, this invention utilizes anti-inflammatory and antibacterial microcapsule wall materials that rapidly hydrolyze and break down in the acidic environment of the inflammatory site, preferentially releasing vancomycin and dexamethasone to achieve early postoperative infection prevention and inflammation regulation. Meanwhile, the growth factor microcapsules employ a non-responsive chitosan-polylactic acid wall material, which continuously releases fibroblast growth factors through slow polymer degradation in a neutral environment, ensuring a stable supply of tissue regeneration signals after inflammation subsides. This two-stage release mechanism of "anti-inflammatory first, then repair" avoids the problem of growth factors becoming ineffective due to the inflammatory environment in traditional simultaneous release modes, improving treatment efficiency and reducing side effects.

[0036] 3. This invention utilizes the covalent cross-linking reaction between the epoxy groups of 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether and the hyperbranched polyester hydroxyl groups to form a stable three-dimensional chemical network. This not only significantly improves the mechanical strength and swelling resistance of the material but also firmly anchors the microcapsules within the support layer. Compared to physical loading methods, chemical cross-linking greatly enhances the microcapsule retention rate, preventing drug loss due to fluid erosion or material degradation in the physiological environment. Simultaneously, the adjustable cross-linking density and degradation characteristics allow the material degradation cycle to match the tissue regeneration process. While providing continuous mechanical support, it gradually releases the porous structure to guide the ingrowth of new tissue, achieving a seamless transition between material degradation and functional replacement.

[0037] 4. This invention integrates three major functions—mechanical support, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, and sustained release of growth factors—into a single material system: a hyperbranched polyester skeleton provides dynamic mechanical support, pH-responsive microcapsules precisely regulate the inflammation-repair sequence, and a chemical cross-linking network ensures structural stability. This multi-dimensional synergistic effect can significantly reduce postoperative infection rates and adhesion formation in thoracic and abdominal surgeries, and accelerate wound healing by promoting fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition. It is particularly suitable for complex surgical scenarios such as digestive tract reconstruction and tumor resection, providing an integrated "support-anti-inflammatory-regeneration" solution for clinical practice, overcoming the limitations of traditional materials with single functions and disconnected treatment processes.

[0038] 5. The material system used in this invention has a clear degradable pathway and safe metabolites, ensuring no toxic residues during the gradual degradation process in vivo: the hyperbranched copolymer with glycerol, lactic acid, and glycolic acid as monomers is degraded through ester bond hydrolysis, with the main products being lactic acid, glycolic acid, and glycerol. Lactic acid is a natural intermediate in human carbohydrate metabolism and can be completely metabolized into CO2 and H2O through the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Glycolic acid can be excreted in urine or participate in gluconeogenesis. Glycerol, as an endogenous substance, directly participates in lipid metabolism. None of the three are biotoxic. Chitosan can be degraded into glucosamine and glucose, and is a component of the extracellular matrix, possessing natural... Biocompatibility: Polylactic acid segments break down into lactic acid via ester bond cleavage, following the body's inherent metabolic pathway; the acylhydrazone bonds in the antibacterial microcapsule wall material hydrolyze into oxaloacetate dihydrazide and glyceraldehyde in an acidic inflammatory environment. Oxaloacetate dihydrazide can be further metabolized into carbon dioxide and ammonia, which are excreted through the liver detoxification pathway. Glyceraldehyde, as an intermediate product of glycolysis, can be directly utilized by cells or converted into pyruvate to enter the metabolic cycle; soybean lecithin degrades into glycerol, fatty acids, and choline, all of which are components of cell membranes; genipin, as a natural cross-linking agent, forms stable covalent bonds after cross-linking with chitosan, and its degradation products are low-molecular-weight phenolic compounds, which are excreted after being metabolized by the liver; 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether cross-linking agent hydrolyzes into butanediol and glycerol via ether bond hydrolysis, both of which are non-toxic substances, and butanediol is a commonly used solvent in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical fields, and its safety has been widely verified.

[0113] Performance Analysis:

[0114] As can be seen from the experimental data in Tables 2-5, the tissue reinforcement material prepared by this invention has good mechanical properties. The high tensile strength meets the support requirements of the reinforcement material, and the improved elongation at break adapts to the bonding requirements under complex veneer conditions. At the same time, the hyperbranched structure brings more surface hydroxyl groups, which enhances hydrophilicity and increases cell adhesion rate, enabling tissue cells to grow along the material skeleton and providing a mechanical framework for tissue repair. Compared with traditional polylactic acid-glycolic acid copolymers, the hyperbranched cross-linked material improves the degradation time, meets the mechanical support required during the tissue growth stage, and avoids the problem of strength support failure caused by excessively rapid degradation. With the addition of microcapsules with different release rates, inflammation is regulated first and then growth is promoted, avoiding the loss of growth-promoting function of growth factors due to the presence of inflammation. Finally, in the in vivo model experiment, the results showed "low inflammation - no infection - rapid healing". Among them, Example 2 has the best overall performance.

[0115] As can be seen from the data in Table 2, the tissue-strengthening material prepared in Example 2 exhibits good mechanical properties and cell adhesion rate. This may be because: during the preparation process of Example 2, glycerol served as the branching core to construct a three-dimensional hyperbranched network. The hyperbranched structure forms a "rigid-flexible" structure through the entanglement between molecular chains and the hydrogen bonding of hydroxyl groups. Compared with the linear polymer used in Comparative Example 3, the hyperbranched structure can more uniformly disperse stress, improving toughness while maintaining strength. In Comparative Example 4, the lack of 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether led to a decrease in tensile strength, confirming that 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether can act as a crosslinking agent to strengthen the material. Structural role; meanwhile, the cell adhesion rate of Example 2 was significantly higher than that of the conventional material used in Comparative Example 3. This may be because the hyperbranched polymer prepared in Example 2 has abundant hydroxyl groups on its surface. The hydroxyl groups adsorb serum proteins through hydrogen bonding, forming a biomimetic interface that facilitates cell adhesion. The hydroxyl groups can also enhance the hydrophilicity of the material, thereby promoting cell spread. In Comparative Example 4, due to the physical loading of the microcapsules, the uneven loading process caused the hydroxyl sites to be covered by the microcapsules. Although there was no cross-linking and the number of surface hydroxyl groups was greater than that in Example 2, the uneven loading shielded more hydroxyl sites, resulting in a decrease in the cell adhesion rate of Comparative Example 4.

[0116] As can be seen from the experimental data in Table 3, the degradation cycle of the reinforcing material prepared in Example 2 is more compatible with the tissue regeneration process, and can sustainably provide mechanical support for tissue regeneration. This may be because: the compatibility between the degradation cycle and the tissue regeneration process in Example 2 stems from the synergistic regulation mechanism of its multi-level molecular structure. The hyperbranched polymer skeleton in the material system generates molecular chain entanglement effect through a three-dimensional network, combined with a stable covalent network constructed by a crosslinking agent, forming a gradient degradation characteristic: in the initial stage, the tight intermolecular forces maintain the integrity of the material, providing a rigid support framework for cell migration and tissue remodeling; as time goes on, the directional hydrolysis of the main chain ester bonds in a neutral environment and the gradual dissociation of the branched nodes form a dynamic equilibrium, gradually releasing appropriate pores. The gap structure guides the orderly growth of new tissue and establishes mechanical transmission channels. This controllable degradation mode, from the surface to the inside and from the local to the whole, avoids the early support failure caused by the rapid disintegration of traditional materials and prevents the long-term foreign matter retention caused by excessive cross-linking, achieving a precise match between the degradation cycle and the repair process. In contrast, Comparative Example 3 uses a traditional linear polylactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer, whose regular molecular chain arrangement forms a highly crystalline region. Water molecules preferentially penetrate along the grain boundaries to induce rapid bulk degradation. Although Comparative Example 4 retains the hyperbranched framework, it lacks a cross-linking network. After the material swells, it forms a loose porous structure, and the specific surface area increases sharply, accelerating the hydrolysis of ester bonds. Moreover, the physically adsorbed microcapsules form stress concentration points on the material surface, inducing crack propagation and leading to non-uniform degradation.

[0117] As can be seen from the data in Table 4, the tissue-strengthening material prepared in Example 2 can first regulate inflammation and then promote growth. This may be because: the wall material of the antibacterial microcapsules in Example 2 constructs a pH-responsive unit by introducing acylhydrazone bonds: under the weakly acidic conditions of the inflammatory microenvironment, the imine nitrogen atom of the acylhydrazone bond is preferentially protonated, triggering the reconstruction of the intramolecular charge distribution, causing the π electron cloud of the C=N double bond to shift towards the nitrogen end, weakening the binding energy with the neighboring carbon atom, and thus triggering the rapid breakage of the molecular chain, achieving the rapid release of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory components. On the other hand, the wall material of the growth factor microcapsules is based on the ester bond design, and its degradation depends on the nucleophilic attack of water molecules in a neutral environment: the carbonyl oxygen of the ester bond combines with H2O through hydrogen bonds. A tetrahedral transition state is formed, followed by slow, stepwise hydrolysis, with the release rate controlled by the kinetics of the material's bulk degradation. In contrast, the failure of Comparative Example 1 stemmed from confusion of chemical bond functions. After the growth factor microcapsules mistakenly introduced acylhydrazone bonds, the rapid dissociation of their wall material under acidic conditions led to premature exposure of the growth factors to a protease-rich inflammatory environment, resulting in the enzymatic deactivation of the active ingredients. Comparative Example 2, due to its simplistic chemical bond design, lacked selective environmental response and could not distinguish the differences in the microenvironment between the inflammatory and repair phases, leading to delayed antibacterial agent release and disordered growth factor release. This hierarchical response system, constructed through the intrinsic reactivity of chemical bonds, achieves a precise correspondence between drug release behavior and the biological needs of the tissue repair stage.

[0118] As can be seen from the data in Table 5, mice using the reinforcing material prepared in Example 2 exhibited postoperative conditions of "low inflammation, no infection, and rapid healing." This may be due to the synergistic effect of its multi-level responsive material system: the gradient degradation network constructed through a hyperbranched polymer skeleton provides continuous mechanical support, while the dual-pathway microcapsule system achieves precise timing release based on the intrinsic properties of chemical bonds. The acylhydrazone bonds of the antibacterial microcapsules trigger rapid hydrolysis in the inflammatory microenvironment, releasing the drug first to inhibit infection, while the ester bonds of the growth factor microcapsules rely on a neutral environment to slowly release the active ingredient, avoiding premature inactivation. In contrast, Comparative Example 1 suffered from simultaneous release of both components due to functional mismatch of chemical bonds, with anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects interfering with each other; Comparative Example 2 lost its environmental responsiveness due to the simplification of chemical bonds, resulting in disordered release timing; the linear polymer structure of Comparative Example 3 caused an imbalance in degradation rates, leading to premature failure of mechanical support; and Comparative Example 4 suffered from microcapsule detachment and material structure collapse due to the lack of cross-linking. The blank control completely lacked anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and growth factor components, failing to meet the repair needs. This hierarchical regulation of chemical bond reactivity and multi-dimensional synergistic design of material structure is the fundamental reason why Example 2 achieves precise regulation of the entire process of "infection control-inflammation resolution-tissue regeneration".
