Biointegration electrochemical coverings with bactericidal and thromboresistency properties on implants for

traumatology and orthopedy

 

Introduction

In clause the brief characteristic of treatment crises and corrections of deformations bones the basic impellent device by a method of a controlled osteosynthesis, value bone clamps in devices of external fixing is given. The comparative analysis functioning of clamps without a covering and with a covering is resulted. The perspective technology of creation oxydic electrochemical biocoverings with antiseptic and antithrombotic properties is considered. The experimental way proves a basic opportunity of electrochemical introduction in a covering ions Ñu and La, clamps giving to a surface specified antiseptic and antithrombotic biomedical functions.

Among all kinds of diseases the person on one of the first places there are deformations, crises and other defects of bones a skeleton. The method an osteosynthesis is successfully applied to their treatment – correction and accretions bones with use spokes and rod implants-clamps [1, 2].

          Ìetal implants are entered in bone fragments and incorporate to details of the external device an osteosynthesis (fig.1). It allows to operate position of fragments, providing osteogenes for the directed elimination of deformations and accretions crises. One last medical appendices of the device of external bone fixing is maintenance of periodic mechanical irritations biofabrics of a skull that allows to intensify course in them of the biophysical and biochemical processes favorably influencing accelerated restoration of lost biological functions. So, at installation of the device on the certain site a bone of the skull, the set movings implants create change size mechanical pressure in biostructures that stimulates processes of growth  bone cells. In these conditions there is a formation of new capillaries and vessels, than the broken brain blood circulation is restored and consequences of an ischemic insult are eliminated (fig.2).

However influence of metal clamps on surrounding biofabrics causes their irritation, an inflammation, a suppuration with danger of tearing away clamps [3, 4]. Because it the share of positive results on the average makes about 20 % that constrains expanded use a method of an osteosynthesis.

For substantial increase efficiency of treatment bone pathologies and increase in number of the cured orthopedic patients the technology creation on metal implants-clamps îxydic the electrochemical coverings possessing a complex of properties of bioactivity [5-7] is developed. Such îxydic coverings show ability to effective biointegration at antiseptic and antithrombotic action on surrounding fabrics. It prevents inflammatory complications, is accelerated healing implants and qualitatively new level of their stable functioning is created.

            Antiseptic and antithrombotic action of coverings clamps on a biofabric can be carried out due to inclusion in structure of covering the certain chemical elements possessing natural ability to provide antiseptic and antithrombotic function. To such elements carry Ñu and La which ions introduce in structure of a biocovering by special electrochemical methods.

          Biological action Cu is described in many references, by virtue the natural properties she is good antiseptic and can provide qualitative clarification wound surfaces from the pathogenic microorganisms intensively developing on a surface osteoclamps in the first days after implantation. Due to it danger of a suppuration, tumour formation biofabrics with occurrence in them of inflammatory processes and other harmful changes is reduced.

            Bioproperties La characterize his ability not only to provide high antimicrobic activity, but also to create good antithrombotic action with stimulation of exchange processes in a zone implantation. Here La can influence various stages of curtailing blood in microvessels adjoining to implant. First, ions La slow down synthesis protromben also possess antagonistic properties in the attitude tromben. Second, action La as antimetabolit Ñà2 + promotes his replacement from capillary systems wound zones with one or several albuminous factors of coagulation. La and lanthanoes as a whole also are capable to provide tearing away not biofunctioning fabrics, that favorably influences on fastening implants in biostructures. Intensifying biological processes in associates implant fabrics La can form complexes with carbohydrates, amino acids, nucleotides, and vitamins and also to act on biochemical functions of biological systems due to ability to replace in them ions Ñà2 +.

         On the resulted bases it is possible to count, that the biological properties of elements Ñu described above and La have favorable an effect on phases wound and biointegration processes, stimulate the important biochemical functions of fabrics and can raise essentially efficiency of functioning implants-osteoclamps.

In this connection the purpose work was definition a basic opportunity of introduction in metaloxydic biocoverings of ions Ñu and La, giving to a surface osteoclamps antiseptic and antithrombotic properties.

Technique of experiment

 

         As samples the carving cores-clamps made of technical titan ÂÒ1-00 and titanic alloy ÂÒ-16, most frequently used in manufacture various bone implants served. A surface of samples subjected to abrasive-jet processing oxydaluminium a powder for creation of an initial roughness and chemical activation. A biocovering on clamps formed in two stages: first created the basic adhesive-strong and morphological heterogeneous metaloxydic a layer thickness 40-50 microns, then in him introduced ions of elements Ñu and La for maintenance antiseptic and antithrombotic functions of a covering. Thus a covering received by anodithion the titan in electrolit 200 g/l Í2SO4 + 50 g/l CuSO4·5H2O in which additive of sulfate copper promoted the accelerated growth thickness of a covering and formation titanoxydic a layer with inclusion ions Ñu as element antiseptic. After that in the electrochemical way in electrolit 1 m/l LaCl3 in demethylformamed made cathodic introduction ions La in structure of a covering, than created him thromboresistency.

          Ålement structure of the received biocovering defined a method of the laser microspectral analysis on installation "Spectrum - 2000".

 

Results of research and their analysis

 

The data of the quantitative laser microanalysis oxyde show coverings, that presence of copper at his structure is characterized by the small maintenance making 0,7 % at rather low intensity of spectral lines an element (fig. 3). Such quantity of copper in a covering can provide antiseptic action on a biofabric, not causing thus of long inflammatory reactions. The raised percentage of copper in oxyde a layer of clamps, on the contrary, can create cancerogenic action on surrounding biostructures with danger of occurrence in them reactions tearing away of clamps. Thus, the offered electrochemical way allows to generate a biocovering on the titanic clamps, possessing not only osteointegration, but also antiseptic qualities.

            The laser microanalysis of a covering on presence at him La as element with antithrombotic functions has shown also positive results. Apparently from fig. 4, on all 4 researched sites of covering La is present approximately at identical quantities to what approximately equal intensity of spectral lines with average value 1936 relative units testifies. It is caused, first of all, by electrochemical stability of process the cathodic introduction La, promoting uniform inclusion of his ions on all working area a surface of a covering. Such high uniformity distribution La on a surface of a covering will provide also uniform thromboresistency action on bioenvironment surrounding a clamp, preventing thus danger of formation blood clots in wound to a zone with stimulation course of normal processes healing a wound and biointegration of a clamp.

            On the basis of results the lead researches it is possible to conclude, that the biocoverings of the bone clamps received due to developed technological ways by the offered technique, provide effective osteointegration and biological activity at minimization of postoperative complications. It considerably improves conditions of functioning clamps in biofabrics and normalizes biomechanics of the device an osteosynthesis at treatment bone pathologies of the basic-impellent device.
