Silica-doped poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composite hollow spheres containing calcium carbonates (Si-CCPC spheres) were prepared using aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) for injectable bone fillers combined with a cell-delivery system. Si-CCPC spheres have a hollow spherical shape of ~1 mm in the external diameter and an open channel in the shell, which is selfformed. The channel size is about 500 *m in diameter. X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis showed incorporation of silicon in Si-CCPC spheres. After soaking Si-CCPC spheres in simulated body fluid (SBF), hydroxycarbonate apatite formed on the Si-CCPC spheres. Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) showed that the Si4+ ion is released from Si-CCPC spheres in SBF.

Novel hollow spheres for bone fillers incorporating cells were prepared using composites consisting of poly(lactic acid) and calcium carbonates. An open channel of ~800 µm in diameter was easily formed using a chemical etching method to provide a pathway to the interior of the sphere. Cells could migrate through the open channel into the interior of the sphere. Bonelike apatite coating on the surface of the sphere was prepared by soaking in calcium chloride solution to supply excess Ca2+ ions on the surface and subsequently by soaking in simulated body fluid. The hollow spheres with an open channel may be one of the great potential candidates as novel bone fillers combined with a cell-delivery system.

Poly(lactic acid) composites containing a mixture of calcium carbonates (vaterite, aragonite, and calcite) were prepared by a carbonation process in methanol. Soaking of the composites for 3 h in simulated body fluid (SBF) at 37 °C resulted in the deposition of bonelike apatite particles on the composite surface. After soaking the composites, vaterite phase in the composites was forward to dissolve rapidly, resulting in increase the supersaturation of the apatite in SBF. 13C cross-polarization magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (13C CP/MAS-NMR) spectra of the composites suggested the formation of a bond between Ca2+ ion and the COO- group, which induces the apatite nucleation. These results may elucidate the mechanism of means to reduce the induction period for apatite formation.

A novel poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/calcium carbonates hybrid membrane containing siloxane was prepared using aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) for biodegradable bone guided regeneration. The PLLA in the membrane was an amorphous phase. By heating the membrane at 100 °C for 1 h, the PLLA in the membrane crystallized. Numerous pores of 0.5-1 ,m in diameter were newly formed at the surface. After soaking the membranes before and after heat-treatment in simulated body fluid, the amount of silicon species in SBF released from the membrane after heat-treatment was higher than that before heat-treatment. A test of osteoblast-like cellular proliferation on the membrane showed the membrane after heat-treatment has much higher cell-proliferation ability than that before heat-treatment.

A new type of poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/calcium carbonates hybrid membrane incorporated with silicon, which is suggested to stimulate the formation of bones, was prepared using aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) for bone repair materials. Carboxyl groups in PLA made a chemical bond with amino groups in APTES, resulting in the formation of the hybrid membrane. The membrane formed hydroxycarbonate apatite (HCA) on its surface after 3 days of soaking in simulated body fluid (SBF). X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy showed the HCA layer includes Si with Ca and P. A result of osteoblast-like cellular proliferation on the substrates that the membrane coated with silicon-containing HCA had much higher cell-proliferation ability than the membrane.
