Синтезированы гибридные нанокомпозиты на основе гидроксиапатита и аутофибрина в форме фибринового сгустка либо цитратной плазмы путем осаждения при pH 9. «Мягкие» условия осаждения и быстрое выделение нанокомпозитов способствовали сохранению биополимерной матрицы аутофибрина. Дестабилизация дополнительной фазы аморфного фосфата кальция с образованием стехиометрического гидроксиапатита обусловлена влиянием макромолекул фибрина. Формирование кальцийдефицитного гидроксиапатита с x« 0,1 и Ca / P 1,65 происходило в среде цитратной плазмы, который после 800 °С превращался в смесь гидроксиапатит / 3 -трикальцийфосфат. Синтез композитов на основе биомиметического апатита осуществляли при добавлении 30 об.% модельного раствора Simulated Body Fluid (SBF). Влияние ионов Mg, CO~, входящих в состав SBF, способствовало стабилизации аморфного фосфата кальция и образованию карбонатзамещенного гидроксиапатита, устойчивого к термическим превращениям до 800°С. Совокупное влияние аутофибрина и ионов введенного SBF позволило управлять составом минеральной составляющей гибридных нанокомпозитов без разрушения биополимерной матрицы. Hybrid composites based on hydroxyapatite and autofibrin were synthesized by precipitation in a medium with pH = 9. Soft precipitation conditions and rapid isolation of the composite precipitates favored preservation of a biopolymer matrix of autofibrin. An effect of fibrin macromolecules contributed to destabilization of the amorphous calcium phosphate phase and formation of stoichiometric hydroxyapatite. The medium of the citrated plasma stimulated precipitation of calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite with x « 0,1 and the Ca / P ration of 1,65 which transformed into the mixture of hydroxyapatite / 3 -tricalcium phosphate at 800 °С. Biomimetic apatite composites were synthesized with an addition of 30 vol. % of a Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) model solution. The effect of Mg, CO~ ions of SBF promoted the stabilization of amorphous calcium phosphate and formation of carbonated hydroxyapatite that exhibited thermal stability up to 800 °С. The cummulative effect of autofibrin and ions of induced SBF provided controlling composition of the mineral part of hybrid nanocomposites without disruption of an autofibrin matrix.

AbstractBiosynthetic calcite samples were investigated using combined synchrotron X-ray microspectroscopy mapping. These samples were prepared with bacteria isolated from the Large cave of Arcy-sur-Cure in which prehistoric figures are masked by an opaque calcite layer. The biotic or abiotic origin of this layer is the issue of the present work. As previously known, a large community of bacteria may be involved in the CaCO3 formation in caves. A mixture of calcite/vaterite was obtained from bacteria isolated from the cave. Therefore, we can offer conclusions on their calcifying capability. The rare presence of vaterite in cave environments may be treated as a marker of biotic carbonate formations. Moreover, an amorphous calcium phosphate phase was present in the form of a calcite/vaterite mixture in the biotic model samples. This mixture of phases could be used as a tracer of the biotic process of CaCO3 formation. These biotic tracer phases were not identified using the applied analytical methods in the natural samples taken from the opaque calcite layers that covered the prehistoric figures of the Large cave. In this case, based on the obtained results, the biotic calcite formation process is likely to be considered as an undetectable effect at minimum.

We have used published rat micropuncture data to construct a matrix of ion concentrations along the rat nephron. With an iterative computer model of known ion interactions, we calculated relative supersaturation ratios in all nephron segments. The collecting ducts and urine showed expected supersaturation with stone-forming salts. Fluid in the thin segment of the loop of Henle may be supersaturated with calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate under certain conditions. Because calculations cannot predict the actual course of crystallization, we made solutions to mimic, in vitro, presumed conditions in the loop of Henle. The solid phases that formed were analyzed by X-ray powder diffraction, electron microprobe, and infrared spectroscopy. All samples were identified as poorly crystallized or immature apatite. The descending limb of Henle's loop creates a unique condition as it extracts water but not sodium, bicarbonate, calcium, or phosphate, giving a calcium concentration at the bend of 3 mM, pH 7.4, and a phosphate concentration that varies from 0.8 to 48 mM, depending on parathyroid hormone and dietary phosphate. We conclude that conditions in the thin segment potentially could create a solid calcium phosphate phase, which may initiate nucleation of calcium oxalate salts in the collecting ducts, potentiating nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis.
