Objective The purpose of this study was to observe feasibility of nano calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite-multi (amino acid) copolymer (n-CDHA-MAC) membrane tubes in repairing goat femurs’ large defects. Methods Twelve goats were divided into two groups, whose femurs were created 30 mm segmental bone defects and then implants were performed. In experimental group, the bone defect of right femur was reconstructed by n-CDHA-MAC membrane tube, while left side was reconstructed by allogenic bone tube in control group. Every three goats were sacrificed at 4, 8, 16, 24 weeks after operation respectively. General observation, X-ray analysis, histology, Scanning electron microscope (SEM) examination and protein level comparison of BMP-2 were conducted to evaluate the effects of repairing segmental bone defects. Results All goats recovered well from anesthesia and surgical interventions. The radiographic evaluations showed that periosteal reaction outside of the membrane tubes and allogenic bone tubes were observed 4 weeks after surgery. At 16 weeks, callus was continuously increased in experimental group, which was more obvious than control group. At 24 weeks, callus outside of the membrane tubes connected together. Histologic evaluation showed fibro-cartilage callus was evolved into bony callus in experimental group, which was more obvious than control group at 8 and 16 weeks. The protein expression level of BMP-2 increased at 4, 8 weeks and peaked at 16 weeks in experimental groups. There were statistical differences at 8 and 16 weeks ( P < 0.05). At each time point in 8, 16, 24 weeks after surgery, the bending stiffness, torsional stiffness and compressive strength of the two groups were similar, and there was no significant difference ( P > 0.05). Conclusions This novel surface degradation n-CDHA-MAC membrane tube has good ability to maintain enough membrane space, which can provide long-term and stable biomechanical support for large bone defects and integrate well with the surrounding bone.

Barrier membranes are employed in guided bone regeneration (GBR) to facilitate bone in-growth. A bioactive and biomimetic Zn-doped membrane with the ability to participate in bone healing and regeneration is necessary. The aim of the present study is to state the effect of doping the membranes for GBR with zinc compounds in the improvement of bone regeneration. A literature search was conducted using electronic databases, such as PubMed, MEDLINE, DIMDI, Embase, Scopus and Web of Science. A narrative exploratory review was undertaken, focusing on the antibacterial effects, physicochemical and biological properties of Zn-loaded membranes. Bioactivity, bone formation and cytotoxicity were analyzed. Microstructure and mechanical properties of these membranes were also determined. Zn-doped membranes have inhibited in vivo and in vitro bacterial colonization. Zn-alloy and Zn-doped membranes attained good biocompatibility and were found to be non-toxic to cells. The Zn-doped matrices showed feasible mechanical properties, such as flexibility, strength, complex modulus and tan delta. Zn incorporation in polymeric membranes provided the highest regenerative efficiency for bone healing in experimental animals, potentiating osteogenesis, angiogenesis, biological activity and a balanced remodeling. Zn-loaded membranes doped with SiO2 nanoparticles have performed as bioactive modulators provoking an M2 macrophage increase and are a potential biomaterial for promoting bone repair. Zn-doped membranes have promoted pro-healing phenotypes.

Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) membrane is used as a barrier to prevent soft tissue ingrowth and to encourage bone regeneration through cellular exclusion. This study aims to assess antibacterial properties of recently developed three-layered poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) /lauric acid (LA) composite membrane towards Staphylococcus aureus. One of the outmost layers of three-layered membrane was incorporated with 1-3 wt% of LA. The composite membrane was developed using thermally induced phase separation/solvent leaching technique. SEM results shows formation of PLGA matrix with smaller pores by the addition of 1 wt% LA compared with pure PLGA membrane. Samples of 1.7 cm diameter disk containing 1, 2 and 3 wt% of lauric acid were tested and pure membrane without lauric acid was used as a control. Results showed that the zones of inhibition were 2.3 cm and 2.5 cm for the 2 wt% and 3 wt% LA-containing membranes, respectively. However, 1 wt% LA-containing membrane observed to have no inhibition at all, indicating that increasing concentration of LA has significant inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus. The 3 wt% LA composition will be used in the mechanically optimized membranes for degradation studies in future works.

The aim of our study was to evaluate the properties of different commercially available resorbable collagen membranes for guided bone regeneration, upon addition of plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF). The structural and morphological details, mechanical properties, and enzymatic degradation were investigated in a new approach, providing clinicians with new data in order to help them in a successful comparison and better selection of membranes with respect to their placement and working condition. Particular characteristics such as porosity, fiber density, and surface topography may influence the mechanical behavior and performances of the membranes, as revealed by SEM/AFM and nanoindentation measurements. The mechanical properties and enzymatic degradation of the membranes were analyzed in a comparative manner, before and after PRGF-modification. The changes in Young modulus values are correlated with the ultrastructural properties of each membrane type. The enzymatic (trypsin) degradation test also emphasized that PRGF-modified membranes exhibit a slower degradation compared to the native ones.

AbstractThe aim of this work was to develop bioresorbable, asymmetric membranes for guided bone regeneration (GBR). Two resorbable polymers – polylactide (PLA) and polycaprolactone (PCL) were used in fabrication process. Two different manufacturing methods were applied: electrospinning in the case of PLA and freeze-drying of PCL. Mechanical properties, stability in a water environment and biocompatibility of fabricated membranes were evaluated. Microstructure [scanning electron microscopy (SEM)] of the membranes was assessed in terms of level of porosity, as well as size and shape of the pores. Study showed that combination of electrospinning and freeze-drying methods allows biocompatible PLA/PCL bi-phasic materials of appropriate mechanical properties and diverse microstructure to be produced, that should on the one hand prevent soft tissue growth, and on the other hand be a suitable scaffold for the growth of bone cells.
