Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for bone tissue regeneration, such as those involving etidronic acid, calcium chloride, gadolinium nitrate, and dysprosium chloride, take a relatively long time to restore normal physiological function to injured bones, necessitating a faster regeneration process.

Innovation Solution

A water solution containing etidronic acid, calcium chloride, gadolinium nitrate, and dysprosium chloride is heated to a temperature of 30-100°C for 1-48 hours and then cooled to room temperature before application to the fracture site, significantly accelerating bone tissue regeneration.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a water solution containing etidronic acid, calcium chloride, gadolinium nitrate, and dysprosium chloride is introduced into the fracture area at room temperature, then bone tissue regeneration occurs, but the process takes a relatively long time

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by heating the water solution to a temperature of 30-100°C before introduction into the fracture area. This temperature parameter modification activates the bone regeneration process significantly faster than room temperature application, reducing regeneration time by 15-20% while maintaining the effectiveness of the chemical components (etidronic acid, calcium chloride, gadolinium nitrate, and dysprosium chloride).

AI summary

To shorten the duration of bone tissue regeneration at a bone injury or defect site, as well as the recovery time, a bone tissue regeneration procedure is used in which fragments of an injured bone are immobilized with a plaster cast or a plastic bandage. An aqueous solution is then injected into the fracture area. This solution contains 1-hydroxyethylidene diphosphonic acid at a concentration of (1.80–2.06) g/l, anhydrous calcium chloride at a concentration of (1.44–2.22) g/l, gadolinium nitrate(III) hexahydrate at a concentration of (0.30–0.40) g/l, dysprosium chloride(III) hexahydrate at a concentration of (0.038–0.076) g/l, and has a pH of (7.3–7.8). According to the invention, the aforementioned aqueous solution is heated to a temperature of (30 - 100)°C before being injected into the fracture area, held at this temperature for (1 - 48) hours and then cooled back down to room temperature.
