[0024] Comparative Example 1 differs from Example 1 in that: this comparative example does not use stepped temperature control during the hydrolysis process, but instead uses a single temperature condition of constant 80°C for the hydrolysis reaction.

[0025] Comparative Example 2 differs from Example 2 in that: no surfactant was added during the purification process of this comparative example, and only conventional acid-base treatment was used.

[0026] Comparative Example 3 differs from Example 3 in that: this comparative example did not undergo a grading and screening process, and directly used the dried bone needle product.

[0027] Comparative Example 4 differs from Example 3 in that it does not use a special solvent but instead uses ordinary deionized water as the dispersion medium.

[0028] The performance of the hydrolyzed sponge bone needles prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 was tested. The test items and test methods are as follows: The integrity rate of bone spurs was tested by observing the surface morphology of bone spurs using a scanning electron microscope, and the proportion of structurally intact bone spurs out of 100 bone spurs was counted to calculate the integrity rate percentage. Particle size distribution test: The particle size distribution of bone needle samples was measured using a laser particle size analyzer, and the D10, D50, and D90 values ​​were recorded. pH stability test: bone needle samples were soaked in deionized water for 24 hours and the range of pH change of the soaking solution was measured. Transdermal absorption rate was tested using the Franz diffusion cell method, with FITC-OVA as the model drug. The cumulative permeation was calculated over 6 hours at a test temperature of 32±1℃. To assess the rate of skin improvement, a 4-week clinical trial was conducted with 30 volunteers to measure the rate of change in skin hydration and transepidermal water loss.

[0029] The test data of the hydrolyzed sponge spicules prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 are recorded in the table below:

[0030] Comparison and analysis of the data in the table show that the hydrolyzed sponge spicules prepared using the processes in Examples 1-3 exhibit significantly superior performance compared to the products prepared using the processes in Comparative Examples 1-4. This indicates that during the refining of hydrolyzed sponge spicules, the use of segmented temperature-controlled hydrolysis processes and surfactant-assisted treatment can effectively preserve the microstructural integrity and bioactivity of the sponge spicules. Furthermore, setting appropriate hydrolysis parameters for sponge raw materials from different sources ensures the controllability of the sponge spicule refining process, solving the problems of spicule structural damage and impurity residue caused by improper hydrolysis in traditional processes. This improves the purity and quality stability of the product, laying a material foundation for subsequent applications. In the refining and purification process of sponge spicules, a graded filtration and screening system is established. Precise grading based on the particle size and morphological characteristics of the bone needles enables effective control of product uniformity. Simultaneously, precise dosage control during application avoids variations in application effects caused by poor product uniformity, further enhancing the applicability and reliability of sponge bone needles in various application scenarios. In practical applications, by developing specialized solvent formulations and specific transdermal massage techniques, and establishing a complete in vivo efficacy evaluation system, customized application solutions can be implemented for different scenarios. This effectively solves the problem of fluctuating application effects caused by the lack of dedicated delivery systems and efficacy evaluation systems in traditional applications, improving the efficiency of sponge bone needles in functional ingredient loading and transdermal delivery, and further expanding their application effects and market value in high-value-added fields.

[0031] By comparing and analyzing the relevant data in the table, it can be seen that the hydrolyzed sponge bone needles prepared by the process of the present invention not only have high structural integrity, controllability and reliability, but also indicate that the hydrolyzed sponge bone needle refining process and application provided by the present invention have a broader market prospect and are more suitable for promotion.
