骨组织工程用聚磷酸钙的结构和性能的研究

Structure and Performance of Calcium Polyphosphate for Bone Tissue Engineering

多孔聚磷酸钙(Calciumpolyphosphate,CPP)生物陶瓷是一种新型的骨组织工程支架材料,国外有研究表明聚磷酸钙作为骨组织工程支架材料具有良好的生物相容性及可降解性。通过对原料煅烧过程的研究,探索了聚合度的计算方法,制备出不同聚合度的材料。通过对材料烧结温度的试验,制得了不同晶型的聚磷酸钙多孔材料。在Tris-HCl缓冲液中进行的体外降解实验表明,CPP多孔支架材料是可控降解的,不同聚合度和晶型的支架材料力学强度和降解性能不同。随着聚合度的增加,材料的力学强度增大,降解速率变小;非晶态的CPP17d就可以完全降解,γ晶型的CPP25d可完全降解,β和α晶型的CPP降解缓慢,30d分别降解了大约12%和5%。因此聚磷酸钙是一种很有前途的骨组织工程支架材料,凭借其独特的无机聚合物结构及降解性能,有望实现可控速率的降解。

Porous calcium polyphosphate （CPP） has shown promise of tissue engineered implant application because of the biocompatibility and biodegradation. CPP with different polymerization degree were prepared by controlling the calcining time, and its polymerization degree could be calculated by developed method in this paper. Different crystal types CPP were prepared by quenching from the melt and crystallization of amorphous CPP. From the in vitro degradation, carried out in Tris-HCl buffer, the degradation velocity of CPP was controllable. The weight loss of CPP with different polymerization degrees and crystal types were different. With the increasing of polymerization degree, the weight loss during the degradation was decreasing, contrarily the strength of CPP was increasing. The amorphous CPP could degrade completely in 17 days while γ-CPP do completely in 25 days. The degradation velocity β-CPP and α-CPP was slower than γ-CPP and the weight loss was about 12% and 5% respectively. The results of this study indicate that CPP have potential applications for bone tissue engineering as inorganic polymeric biomaterials.
