ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Comparar in vivo la capacidad de formación ósea de dos tipos de biomateriales diseñados como sustitutivos óseos respecto a autoinjerto de cresta iliaca, uno basado en carbonatohidroxiapatita y otro en vidrio mesoporoso bioactivo. Material y método: Estudio experimental compuesto por 14 conejos de Nueva Zelanda hembras adultas donde se realizó un defecto crítico en hueso radio. La muestra fue dividida en cuatro grupos: defecto sin material, con autoinjerto de cresta iliaca, con soporte de carbonatohidroxiapatita y con soporte de vidrio mesoporoso bioactivo. Se realizaron estudios seriados de radiología simple a las 2, 4, 6 y 12 semanas y estudio de micro-TC a eutanasia a las 6 y 12 semanas. Resultados: En el estudio de radiología simple, el grupo de autoinjerto mostró las mayores puntuaciones de formación ósea (7,5 puntos). Ambos grupos de biomateriales presentaron formación ósea similar (5,3 y 6 puntos, respectivamente) y mayor al defecto sin material (4 puntos), pero siempre menor que el grupo de autoinjerto. Los resultados del estudio de micro-TC mostraron el mayor volumen de hueso en el área de estudio en el grupo de autoinjerto. Los grupos con sustitutivos óseos presentaron mayor volumen de hueso que el grupo sin material, pero siempre menor que en el grupo de autoinjerto. Conclusiones: Ambos soportes parecen favorecer la formación ósea pero no son capaces de reproducir las características del autoinjerto. Por sus diferentes características macroscópicas cada uno podría ser adecuado para un tipo diferente de defecto.(AU)


Aim: Compare bone formation capacity in vivo of two types of biomaterials designed as bone substitutes with respect to iliac crest autograft, one based on carbonate hydroxyapatites and the other one on bioactive mesoporous glass. Materials and methods: Experimental study consisting on 14 adult female New Zeland rabbits where a critical defect was made in the rabbit radius bone. The sample was divided into four groups: defect without material, with iliac crest autograft, with carbonatehydroxyapatite support, and with bioactive mesoporous glass support. Serial X-ray studies were carried out at 2, 4, 6 and 12 weeks and a microCT study at euthanasia at 6 and 12 weeks. Results: In the X-ray study, autograft group showed the highest bone formation scores. Both groups of biomaterials presented bone formation similar and greater than the defect without material, but always less than in the autograft group. The results of the microCT study showed the largest bone volume in the study area in the autograft group. The groups with bone substitutes presented greater bone volume than the group without material but always less than in the autograft group. Conclusion: Both supports seem to promote bone formation but are not capable of reproducing the characteristics of autograft. Due to their different macroscopic characteristics, each one could be suitable for a different type of defect.(AU)

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Experimental study consisting on 14 adult female New Zeland rabbits where a critical defect was made in the rabbit radius bone. The sample was divided into four groups: defect without material, with iliac crest autograft, with carbonatehydroxyapatite scaffold, and with bioactive mesoporous glass scaffold. Serial X-ray studies were carried out at 2, 4, 6 and 12 weeks and a microCT study at euthanasia at 6 and 12 weeks. RESULTS: In the X-ray study, autograft group showed the highest bone formation scores. Both groups of biomaterials presented bone formation similar and greater than the defect without material, but always less than in the autograft group. The results of the microCT study showed the largest bone volume in the study area in the autograft group. The groups with bone substitutes presented greater bone volume than the group without material but always less than the autograft group. CONCLUSION: Both scaffolds seem to promote bone formation but are not capable of reproducing the characteristics of autograft. Due to their different macroscopic characteristics, each one could be suitable for a different type of defect.

ABSTRACT

This work presents the tuning of drug-loaded scaffolds for bone regeneration as dual-drug delivery systems. Two therapeutic substances, zoledronic acid (anti-osteoporotic drug) and ibuprofen (anti-inflammatory drug) were successfully incorporated in a controlled manner into three dimensional designed porous scaffolds of apatite/agarose composite. A high-performance liquid chromatography method was optimized to separate and simultaneously quantify the two drugs released from the dual-drug codelivery system. The multifunctional porous scaffolds fabricated show a very rapid delivery of anti-inflammatory (interesting to reduce inflammation after implantation), whereas the anti-osteoporotic drug showed sustained release behaviour (important to promote bone regeneration). Since ibuprofen release was faster than desired, this drug was encapsulated in chitosan spheres which were then incorporated into the scaffolds, obtaining a release profile suitable for clinical application. The results obtained open the possibility to simultaneously incorporate two or more drugs to an osseous implant in a controlled way improving it for bone healing application.

ABSTRACT

Porous 3-D scaffolds consisting of gelatine and Si-doped hydroxyapatite were fabricated at room temperature by rapid prototyping. Microscopic characterization revealed a highly homogeneous structure, showing the pre-designed porosity (macroporosity) and a lesser in-rod porosity (microporosity). The mechanical properties of such scaffolds are close to those of trabecular bone of the same density. The biological behavior of these hybrid scaffolds is greater than that of pure ceramic scaffolds without gelatine, increasing pre-osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cell differentiation (matrix mineralization and gene expression). Since the fabrication process of these structures was carried out at mild conditions, an antibiotic (vancomycin) was incorporated in the slurry before the extrusion of the structures. The release profile of this antibiotic was measured in phosphate-buffered saline solution by high-performance liquid chromatography and was adjusted to a first-order release kinetics. Vancomycin released from the material was also shown to inhibit bacterial growth in vitro. The implications of these results for bone tissue engineering applications are discussed.

ABSTRACT

In this work a multifaceted approach to the fabrication of scaffolds is considered, that is, besides the preparation technique, the introduction of substances that may contribute to enhance their final performance, as well as the techniques required to ensure the correct preservation of the so obtained scaffolds are taken into account to tailor the release of vancomycin from beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP)/agarose scaffolds. These materials were prepared by a shaping technique that allows to obtain pieces at a temperature low enough to simultaneously include active substances susceptible of heat degrading such as vancomycin, the model drug considered in this work. In the first approximation poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), a hydrophilic substance employed as a matrix capable of binding compounds such as proteins or peptides and release them in a controlled fashion, was included in the formulation. The second tool to govern the vancomycin liberation is based on the drying procedures employed to process and preserve the obtained scaffolds: freeze-drying and heat desiccation at 37 degrees C. These modifications resulted in the generation of different pore architectures and certain chemical interactions, such as the formation of an agarose-PEG-vancomycin complex that yielded different drug release patterns. The so obtained pieces behave like a hydrogel when immersed in a hydrated medium but show a consistency comparable to that of the cancellous bone.

ABSTRACT

Biodegradable scaffolds composed of beta-tricalcium phosphate, and a natural hydrogel, agarose, were prepared by a shaping method based on the thermal gelation of the polymeric component. This technique was modified to facilitate the inclusion, during the scaffold preparation stage, of therapeutic agents that could improve the graft performance. Vancomycin was included in materials containing different amounts of agarose and ceramic without affecting the scaffold consolidation process. These materials, easily injectable, behave like a reinforced hydrogel whose swelling behavior and drug release rate depend on their composition.

ABSTRACT

An original shaping technique has been applied to prepare porous bodies at room temperature. Agarose, a biodegradable polysaccharide, was added as binder of a sol-gel glass in powder form, yielding an easy to mold paste. Interconnected tailored porous bodies can be straightforwardly prepared by pouring the slurry into a polymeric scaffold, previously designed by stereolitography, which is subsequently eliminated by alkaline dissolution at room temperature. The so obtained pieces behave like a hydrogel with an enhanced consistency that makes them machinable and easy to manipulate. These materials generate an apatite-like layer when immersed in a simulated body fluid, indicating a potential in vivo bioactivity. The proposed method can be applied to different powdered materials to produce pieces, at room temperature, with various shapes and sizes and with tailored interconnected porosity.

ABSTRACT

Cephalexin containing gypsum and apatite/gypsum cements have been synthesised. The presence of cephalexin into the cements does not alter neither the physico-chemical behaviour of the cements nor produce structural changes on them. These cements behave as drug delivery systems when soaked in simulated body fluid. The release of the drug is different depending on the composition. For gypsum cements, the cephalexin is quickly released, helped by a dissolution process of the matrix, whereas the drug release is more controlled by the hydroxyapatite presence in hydroxyapatite/gypsum samples. Apatite containing cements do not only show a different drug release process, also the paste viscosity is lower and a faster formation "in vitro" of an apatite-type layer on their surface is observed.

ABSTRACT

The preparation, characterization, and in vitro release of Ibuprofen from Al2O3, poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA), and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) composites are described. The release process of the anti-inflammatory drug after the immersion of composites in a buffered solution is analyzed. The rate of Ibuprofen release is related to the crystalline or amorphous form of the drug. The presence of a ceramic component, alpha-Al2O3, and a biodegradable polymer, PLLA, facilitates both Ibuprofen crystallization and drug release. In addition, these composite systems modulate the release of the stereoisomers R(-) and S(+) of the drug.

ABSTRACT

Two composite systems composed of alpha-Al2O3/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP)/ibuprofen or alpha-Al2O3/PMMA/co-vinyl pyrrolidone-methyl methacrylate/ibuprofen were prepared by free radical polymerization. These systems were characterized by spectroscopic techniques and thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses. The hydration behaviour of composites with different hydrophilic characters was analysed after the immersion of the composites in buffered solution at pH 7.4 and 37 degrees C. The swelling of the composites depends strongly on the content of the hydrophilic component and is controlled by the presence of the ceramic component. The release of the anti-inflammatory drug, ibuprofen, from the composites in buffered solution was followed by UV spectroscopy and the results obtained indicated that the components of the composites influenced the rate of release of the drug, without the classical 'burst' effect observed frequently with hydrophilic systems.
