Formulation and Characterization of a New Injectable Bone Substitute Composed PVA/Borax/CaCO3 and Demineralized Bone Matrix.

ABSTRACT: The occurrence of bone-related disorders and diseases has dramatically increased in recent years around the world. Demineralized bone matrix (DBM) has been widely used as a bone implant due to its osteoinduction and bioactivity. However, the use of DBM is limited because it is a particulate material, which makes it difficult to manipulate and implant with precision. In addition, these particles are susceptible to migration to other sites. To address this situation, DBM is commonly incorporated into a variety of carriers. An injectable scaffold has advantages over bone grafts or preformed scaffolds, such as the ability to flow and fill a bone defect. The aim of this research was to develop a DBM carrier with such viscoelastic properties in order to obtain an injectable bone substitute (IBS). The developed DBM carrier consisted of a PVA/glycerol network cross-linked with borax and reinforced with CaCO3 as a pH neutralizer, porosity generator, and source of Ca. The physicochemical properties were determined by an injectability test, FTIR, SEM, and TGA. Porosity, degradation, bioactivity, possible cytotoxic effect, and proliferation in osteoblasts were also determined. The results showed that the developed material has great potential to be used in bone tissue regeneration.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate short-term outcomes for the biologic treatment of bone marrow edema (BME) of the knee using bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) and injectable demineralized bone matrix (iDBM).MethodsWe performed a review of prospectively collected data from patients who underwent treatment for bone marrow lesions (BMLs) of the knee using BMAC and iDBM (IntraOsseous BioPlasty; Arthrex, Naples, FL) between May 2017 and December 2018. Inclusion criteria included patients aged 18 to 65 years with the presence of BME on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in the subchondral weightbearing region of the tibia or femoral condyle, with pain corresponding to the same compartment. The International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), pain visual analog scale (VAS), and 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) scores were used to evaluate clinical outcomes.ResultsWe evaluated 20 patients who were treated at a single academic medical institution over a mean 14.5-month follow-up (median, 14 months; range, 6-25 months). The average patient age was 51.7 years (range 38-62 years). Compared with preoperative values, the visual analog scale decreased from 7.0 to 1.3 (P = .008). The mean International Knee Documentation Committee scores improved from 29.2 to 66.1 (P = .063). Both the Physical and Mental Component Scores of the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey also showed improvement (Physical Component Score, P = .438; Mental Component Score, P = .563). Based on postoperative magnetic resonance imaging, 75% (3 of 4) of the BMLs demonstrated complete healing. The survival rate was 93% at 1-year follow-up.ConclusionBiologic treatment of BME of the knee using BMAC and iDBM is an effective adjunct to arthroscopy that provides short-term pain relief for BMLs associated with degenerative conditions of the knee. This procedure is associated with clinically significant improvements in knee pain and function at a short-term follow-up.Level of evidenceLevel IV, therapeutic case series.

Project description:BackgroundDemineralized bone matrix is commonly used as a bone graft substitute, either alone or to supplement an osteoconductive material, because of its osteoinductive properties. The aging of the population has led to an increase in the number of prospective donors of demineralized bone matrix who have taken bisphosphonates to prevent osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. The aim of this study was to determine whether oral bisphosphonate usage affects the osteoinductivity of demineralized bone matrix from donors.MethodsSex-matched and age-matched pairs of samples were provided by four tissue banks (three or four pairs per bank). Demineralized bone matrix donors without bisphosphonate treatment had a mean age (and standard deviation) of 69.1 ± 2.5 years, and donors with bisphosphonate treatment had a mean age of 68.9 ± 2.0 years. Each pair included one donor known to have taken bisphosphonates and one who had not taken bisphosphonates. Demineralized bone matrix previously confirmed as osteoinductive was the positive control, and heat-inactivated demineralized bone matrix was the negative control. Demineralized bone matrix incubated with 1 mL of phosphate-buffered saline solution containing 0, 0.002, 2.0, or 2000 ng/mL of alendronate was also tested. Gelatin capsules containing 15 mg of demineralized bone matrix were implanted bilaterally in the gastrocnemius muscle of male nude mice (eight implants per group). The mice were killed thirty-five days after implantation, and hind limbs were recovered and processed for histological analysis. Osteoinductivity was measured with use of a qualitative score and by histomorphometry.ResultsNine of fifteen samples from donors who had had bisphosphonate treatment and ten of fifteen samples from patients who had not had bisphosphonate treatment were osteoinductive. Qualitative mean scores were comparable (1.7 ± 0.4 for those without bisphosphonates and 1.9 ± 0.7 for those with bisphosphonates). Osteoinductive demineralized bone matrix samples produced ossicles of comparable size, regardless of bisphosphonate usage. Histomorphometric measurements of the area of new bone formation and residual demineralized bone matrix were also comparable. The addition of alendronate to control demineralized bone matrix did not affect its osteoinductivity.ConclusionsDemineralized bone matrix samples from donors treated with bisphosphonates and donors not treated with bisphosphonates have the same ability to induce bone formation. However, it is not known if the quality of the new bone is affected, with subsequent consequences affecting bone remodeling.

Project description:Demineralized bone matrix (DBM) has been widely used clinically for dental, craniofacial and skeletal bone repair, as an osteoinductive and osteoconductive material. 3D printing (3DP) enables the creation of bone tissue engineering scaffolds with complex geometries and porosity. Photoreactive methacryloylated gelatin nanoparticles (GNP-MAs) 3DP inks have been developed, which display gel-like behavior for high print fidelity and are capable of post-printing photocrosslinking for control of scaffold swelling and degradation. Here, novel DBM nanoparticles (DBM-NPs, ∼400 nm) were fabricated and characterized prior to incorporation in 3DP inks. The objectives of this study were to determine how these DBM-NPs would influence the printability of composite colloidal 3DP inks, assess the impact of ultraviolet (UV) crosslinking on 3DP scaffold swelling and degradation and evaluate the osteogenic potential of DBM-NP-containing composite colloidal scaffolds. The addition of methacryloylated DBM-NPs (DBM-NP-MAs) to composite colloidal inks (100:0, 95:5 and 75:25 GNP-MA:DBM-NP-MA) did not significantly impact the rheological properties associated with printability, such as viscosity and shear recovery or photocrosslinking. UV crosslinking with a UV dosage of 3 J/cm2 directly impacted the rate of 3DP scaffold swelling for all GNP-MA:DBM-NP-MA ratios with an ∼40% greater increase in scaffold area and pore area in uncrosslinked versus photocrosslinked scaffolds over 21 days in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Likewise, degradation (hydrolytic and enzymatic) over 21 days for all DBM-NP-MA content groups was significantly decreased, ∼45% less in PBS and collagenase-containing PBS, in UV-crosslinked versus uncrosslinked groups. The incorporation of DBM-NP-MAs into scaffolds decreased mass loss compared to GNP-MA-only scaffolds during collagenase degradation. An in vitro osteogenic study with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells demonstrated osteoconductive properties of 3DP scaffolds for the DBM-NP-MA contents examined. The creation of photoreactive DBM-NP-MAs and their application in 3DP provide a platform for the development of ECM-derived colloidal materials and tailored control of biochemical cue presentation with broad tissue engineering applications.

Project description:ObjectivesDentin, the bulk material of the tooth, resemble the bone's chemical composition and is considered a valuable bone substitute. In the current study, we assessed the cytotoxicity and osteogenic potential of demineralized dentin matrix (DDM) in comparison to HA nanoparticles (n-HA) on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) using a hydrogel formulation.Materials and methodsHuman extracted teeth were minced into particles and treated via chemical demineralization using ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid solution (EDTA) to produce DDM particles. DDM and n-HA particles were added to the sodium alginate then, the combination was dripped into a 5% (w/v) calcium chloride solution to obtain DDM hydrogel (DDMH) or nano-hydroxyapatite hydrogel (NHH). The particles were evaluated by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and the hydrogels were evaluated via scanning electron microscope (SEM). BMMSCs were treated with different hydrogel concentrations (25%, 50%, 75% and neat/100%) and cell viability was evaluated using MTT assay after 72 h of culture. Collagen-I (COL-I) gene expression was studied with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) after 3 weeks of culture and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was assessed using enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA) over 7th, 10th, 14th and 21st days of culture. BMMSCs seeded in a complete culture medium were used as controls. One-way ANOVA was utilized to measure the significant differences in the tested groups.ResultsDLS measurements revealed that DDM and n-HA particles had negative values of zeta potential. SEM micrographs showed a porous microstructure of the tested hydrogels. The viability results revealed that 100% concentrations of either DDMH or NHH were cytotoxic to BMMSCs after 72 h of culture. However, the cytotoxicity of 25% and 50% concentrations of DDMH were not statistically significant compared to the control group. RT-qPCR showed that COL-I gene expression was significantly upregulated in BMMSCs cultured with 50% DDMH compared to all other treated or control groups (P < 0.01). ELISA analysis revealed that ALP level was significantly increased in the groups treated with 50% DDMH compared to 50% NHH after 21 days in culture (P < 0.001).ConclusionThe injectable hydrogel containing demineralized dentin matrix was successfully formulated. DDMH has a porous structure and has been shown to provide a supporting matrix for the viability and differentiation of BMMSCs. A 50% concentration of DDMH was revealed to be not cytotoxic to BMMSCs and may have a great potential to promote bone formation ability.

Project description:BACKGROUND/AIM:The present study investigates the in vivo tissue reaction and the integration behavior of an injectable bone substitute material (IBS) composed of a water-based gel combined with nano hydroxyapatite particles and biphasic calcium phosphate granules. The results of the IBS were compared to biphasic bone substitute granules (BBSM) of the same chemical composition. MATERIALS AND METHODS:The subcutaneous implantation model in 40 female 5-week-old CD-1 mice up to 60 days after implantation was used for conduction of the in vivo experiments. Moreover, established histological, histopathological and histomorphometrical methods were applied. RESULTS:The results showed that the IBS was gradually invaded by cells and complex tissue elements. Thus, the implant bed could be distinguished in two areas, i.e. an outer and inner region. While the outer region started to interact with the peri-implant tissue by evoking multinucleated giant cells and at earlier time points by undergoing a continuous high vascularization, the inner part was free of peri-implant cells for at least 30 days, starting to undergo a similar tissue reaction at a later time point. The bone substitute granules allowed for a fast tissue influx between the interspaces of the granules starting at day 10. While the vessel density did not differ in both groups up to the end of the study, the amount of vascularization was significantly higher over the entire observation period in the BBSM group. Moreover, the amount of biomaterial-associated multinucleated giant cells (BMGCs) was significantly higher in the IBS group in the period of between 15 to 30 days after implantation, while comparable BMGC numbers were found in both groups towards the end of the study. CONCLUSION:IBS can build a barrier-like structure that is able to control the soft tissue influx into the central regions of the implantation bed, which could not be observed in other bone substitute granules of the same chemical composition. This directed integration behavior is assumed to be in accordance with the concept of Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR). Furthermore, BMGCs can significantly influence the process of angiogenesis within an implant bed of a biomaterial but not the maturity of blood vessels.
