    不同量β-TCP对PLGA微球支架的抗压强度、孔隙率和细胞相容性的影响

    Effects of β-TCP Amounts on Compressive Strength, Porosity and Cytocompatibility of PLGA Scaffolds

    • 摘要: 通过乳液溶剂挥发法制备复合微球,然后对微球进行烧结处理得到微球支架。通过调节β-tricalcium phosphate(β-TCP,β型磷酸三钙)的添加量来调节微球支架的抗压强度、孔隙率和孔隙连通率,进而得到一种在抗压强度上满足人体骨组织修复的需求且孔隙率和孔隙连通率均利于细胞进入支架内部的微球支架。经过测试观察,在poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)(PLGA,聚乳酸-羟基乙酸共聚物)微球中分别加入0.1、0.2、0.3和0.4 g β-TCP后,与纯PLGA微球相比发现添加有β-TCP的微球表面粗糙,且粗糙度随着β-TCP量的增加而增大。在70℃下经过1 h烧结后,发现随着β-TCP量的增多,支架中微球之间的粘结程度逐渐下降,孔隙率和平均孔径逐渐增加。当β-TCP为0.3 g时,平均孔径达到84.34 μm,超过细胞进入支架的最小孔径80 μm,利于细胞在支架内部生长。随着β-TCP增多,支架的抗压强度先增大后减小,当β-TCP为0.2 g时,抗压强度最大,为(6.05±0.74)MPa。这是因为β-TCP的抗压强度较高,复合到PLGA微球当中可以提升支架的抗压强度。当β-TCP含量过高时,微球之间粘结程度过小,连接不牢固,进而降低了支架的抗压强度。通过检测得出支架的细胞相容性会随着β-TCP的增多而增强。从抗压强度、支架平均孔径、孔隙率和细胞相容性等方面综合分析,PLGA/β-TCP 0.3微球支架在骨组织修复方面具备较好的应用价值,可望成为一种理想的骨修复材料。

       

      Abstract: Composite microspheres were prepared by an oil-water emulsion and evaporation method, which were then sintered to prepare microsphere scaffolds. The compressive strength, porosity and pore connection rate of the scaffold can be modified by adjusting β-TCP amount, which results a scaffold with compressive strength in the range of cancellous bone, with porosity and pore connection rate large enough to allow cell grow. The surface smoothness decreases with the addition of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 g β-TCP in PLGA. The adhesion degree decreases and the porosity and average diameter increase with the increase of β-TCP after sintering at 70℃ for 1 h. The average pore diameter is 84.34 μm when adding 0.3 g β-TCP, which is larger than the least diameter (80 μm) for cell grow in scaffolds. Compressive strength increases first and then decreases, which shows the highest value of (6.05±0.74) MPa when adds 0.2 g β-TCP. However, the connection between microspheres decreases with high β-TCP, which results in the decrease of compressive strengths of the scaffolds. Cytocompatibility can be enhanced with the increase of β-TCP. Therefore, an optimum β-TCP amount was found (0.3 g) to prepare microsphere scaffolds with best comprehensive properties.
