Biological and physicochemical properties of bioactive ion modified brushite cements / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:As a bone replacement and filling material,calcium phosphate stone bone cement has good biocompatibility,bone conductivity,and other advantages,especially its better biodegradability compared to other calcium phosphate bone cements.It has important application value in bone repair.However,due to its limitations such as insufficient mechanical properties,fast solidification reaction,and poor injection performance,it is currently only suitable for the repair of non weight-bearing bone. OBJECTIVE:To explore the modification of brushite cements with bioactive ions(metal and non metal ions)to expand its application range. METHODS:The author used PubMed,ScienceDirect,CNKI,and WanFang to search the literature published between 2018 and 2023 with the search terms"metal ion,iron,copper,strontium,magnesium,zinc,non-metal ion,modification,bone,brushite cements"in Chinese and"metal ion,iron,Fe,copper,Cu,strontium,Sr,magnesium,Mg,zinc,Zn,non-metal ion,modification,bone,brushite cements"in English.After reading titles and abstracts,the articles were initially screened,and irrelevant and duplicate articles were excluded.Finally,64 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Bioactive ions affect the hydration process of calcium phosphate bone cement.Different ions are substituted by ions and incorporated into the crystal structure of calcium phosphate bone cement,changing the crystal morphology of the cement and causing changes in physical and chemical properties such as setting time,injectability,and compressive strength.(2)Ionic modified calcium phosphate bone cement produces different ion release effects due to different crystal structures.Different types of ions have properties such as promoting angiogenesis/osteogenesis,antibacterial,anti-tumor,etc.In addition,calcium phosphate bone cement has good biodegradability,which has great advantages for the performance of various ions.(3)The physicochemical properties of calcium phosphate bone cement modified with different ions are as followsiron,copper,strontium,magnesium,zinc,silver,and cobalt can prolong the setting time.Strontium,and magnesium can improve injection performance.Copper,strontium,magnesium,silver and silicon can enhance compressive strength.The ions that can simultaneously improve the three physical and chemical properties of calcium phosphate bone cement include strontium and magnesium.Good physical and chemical properties are a prerequisite for clinical application,so improving the setting time,injectability,compressive strength,and other properties of calcium phosphate bone cement with ions is of great significance for the research and application of bone cement.(4)The biological properties of calcium phosphate bone cement modified with different ions are as followscopper,strontium,magnesium,zinc,cobalt,lithium,selenium,and silicon have promoting angiogenesis/osteogenic effects.Iron,copper,magnesium,zinc,and silver have antibacterial properties.Magnesium ions have anti-inflammatory properties.Copper and selenium have anti-tumor properties.(5)In summary,magnesium ions can improve the setting time,injectability,and compressive strength of calcium phosphate bone cement,while also promoting neovascularization/osteogenesis,antibacterial properties,and have good application prospects for the treatment of bone defects with concurrent infections.In addition,copper also has anti-tumor properties,so copper ions have great potential in the treatment of bone defects caused by infections and tumors.However,relevant research is still in the basic research stage,and the effects of different ion doping concentrations and synthesis conditions on the physicochemical properties of calcium phosphate bone cement need to be further explored.At the same time,the impact of biological properties also needs to be studied and observed for a longer period of time.
