Description

High-strength polyvinyl alcohol gel and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of materials and biological materials, in particular to high-strength polyvinyl alcohol gel and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The injury and lesion of the articular cartilage are common diseases in clinical orthopedics department, and the articular cartilage has extremely limited self-repairing capability, so that once the injury or lesion occurs, the articular cartilage is difficult to self-heal, and cartilage replacement is necessary. Clinically, the artificial total joint replacement is widely applied, and the clinical achievement of the artificial total joint replacement enables osteoarthropathy patients to benefit seriously, but various surgical complications also exist. At present, commonly used metal and ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene counter-grinding joint prosthesis, silicon rubber and polyurethane joint cushion materials have the defects of easy abrasion and loosening, poor interface lubricity, easy aging and the like.
In recent years, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel with good biocompatibility and mechanical properties is considered as a more ideal artificial cartilage implant material, and the greatest defect of common PVA hydrogel in cartilage replacement is insufficient mechanical properties, and the mechanical strength of the gel is generally enhanced by crosslinking.
The conventional crosslinking methods are mainly classified into physical crosslinking and chemical crosslinking. Physical cross-linking is mainly a gel formed by the action of secondary bonds such as intermolecular entanglement, hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and biospecific recognition. Chinese patent CN106552286A discloses a method for preparing HA (nano-hydroxyapatite) -PVA artificial cartilage, which comprises the steps of firstly preparing a three-dimensional network-shaped pore scaffold by using an organic polymer material, then mechanically mixing HA powder and PVA, performing reverse molding on a composite solution in the pore scaffold, then performing freeze-thaw cycle, and selectively dissolving the pore scaffold by using a solvent to obtain the artificial cartilage; chinese patent CN106039418A discloses a preparation method of a gradient HA-PVA artificial cartilage material, which comprises the steps of injecting HA-PVA solution into an artificial cartilage mould I, carrying out freeze-thaw cycle to form primarily crosslinked HA-PVA hydrogel, then placing the HA-PVA hydrogel into a mould II (the size of the mould II is larger than that of the artificial cartilage mould I), injecting hot PLGA (poly (glycolide-lactide) -HA-PVA solution, and carrying out freeze-thaw again to obtain the artificial cartilage. The methods are all physical crosslinking methods, which can effectively improve the mechanical strength of the gel to a certain extent, but the physical crosslinking has the following disadvantages: firstly, physical crosslinking is greatly influenced by concentration, and cannot be formed under the condition of low concentration; secondly, during physical crosslinking, the shrinkage rate before and after molding is large, and the size control of the product during later large-scale production is influenced to a certain extent; thirdly, the mechanical properties of physical cross-linking can reach the cartilage level, but the mechanical properties still need to be enhanced in practical application. Therefore, the polyvinyl alcohol cartilage substitute formed purely by physical crosslinking has failed to meet the current requirements in cartilage implantation, and there is still room for improvement in mechanical properties.
The chemical crosslinking method is mainly to form a three-dimensional network structure through covalent bond crosslinking, and commonly used crosslinking agents include boric acid (or borax), aldehydes, heavy metal salts capable of forming gel through coordination and complexation, and the like. Chinese patent CN105885064A discloses a method for preparing hydrogel by using boride chemical cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol, and chinese patent CN106750396A discloses a method for preparing hydrogel by using glutaraldehyde chemical cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol. The addition of the cross-linking agent greatly improves the mechanical property of the gel, but the disadvantages of chemical cross-linking are not few: firstly, the toughness of gel formed by chemical crosslinking is insufficient, and the gel is easy to break after repeated compression; secondly, when a boron-containing crosslinking agent or a heavy metal crosslinking agent is used, release of boron or heavy metal in a long-term implantation process cannot be avoided, and certain biological toxicity can be caused. Therefore, the polyvinyl alcohol cartilage substitute formed by pure chemical crosslinking cannot meet the requirements of the current cartilage or soft tissue implantation, and has room for improvement in the aspect of mechanical properties.
In order to further improve the mechanical properties, the requirements can only be met by combining chemical crosslinking with physical crosslinking. For the double-crosslinking method, chinese patent CN105327382A discloses a method for preparing medical transparent polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel by using a double-crosslinking method of freezing crosslinking and borax chemical crosslinking, but borax introduced in the patent has certain biotoxicity, so that there is a risk of excessive release of boron in the long-time implantation process, and since borax and polyvinyl alcohol are crosslinked to form a ring structure, the rigidity of the crosslinking site is too large, and the toughness is insufficient, so that the gel cannot meet the requirement of cartilage implantation. Therefore, the polyvinyl alcohol gel prepared by the prior art still has obvious defects in the aspects of effectiveness, safety and quality controllability when being used as an artificial cartilage or soft tissue implant material.
In view of the above, the present invention is particularly proposed.
