Description

Composite tendon repair material and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a medical implanted medical instrument, in particular to a tendon repair material with a composite structure, which has growth factors with the quantity changing in a gradient manner on a unit length, and effectively realizes the establishment of tendon bone insertion points and the effective repair of tendons. The invention further comprises a preparation method of the composite tendon repair sheet material.
Background
The rotator cuff is an oversleeve-like tendon structure formed by tendons of supraspinatus, infraspinatus, infrascapular muscle and minor muscle in front of, above and behind the humeral head, and realizes the functions of controlling and rotating arms. When the rotator cuff tendon is subjected to overload stress, inflammation and degradation can occur, pain, lipidation and calcification are caused, the mechanical property of the tendon is reduced, and finally partial thickness tearing and full-layer tearing occur. The incidence of rotator cuff tear increases year by year with increasing age. The incidence in the population under 60 years is 6% and after 60 years 28-40% (see Ricchetti ET, Aurora A, Iannotti JP, ET al. Scaffold devices for rotor cup repair [ J ]. J Shoulder Elbow Surg,2012,21(2): 251-265). When the rotator cuff-like muscle group is damaged, shoulder joint pain and physiological function are reduced. Patients with rotator cuff injuries and patients with rotator cuff large area injuries who are not conservative are often treated with surgical procedures. 3-7.5 ten thousand patients with rotator cuff injury in the United states receive rotator cuff repair surgery each year. The population of the old aged 60 years old and older reaches 1.8499 billion in China, the population accounts for 13.7 percent of the total population, and about 500 ten thousand patients with rotator cuff injury need to undergo rotator cuff repair operation.
Rotator cuff tears are one of the most common tendon injuries in orthopedic surgery and are common causes of shoulder joint pain, stiffness, reduced mobility and reduced function. Rotator cuff tears are affected by age, area of injury, muscle atrophy, tendon degeneration, steatosis, post-operative rehabilitation exercises, etc. and the recurrence rate of rotator cuff repair surgery is as high as 20-70% (see Aurora a, McCarron J, Iannotti JP, dewin k. commercial available extracellular matrix materials for rotator cuff papers: state of the art and future drives. J outer cuff anchor surgery 2007; 16(5 supl): S171-8). Large size tears cause fat tissue to accumulate in muscle tissue and if not repaired in time will result in irreversible loss of muscle tissue function, and changes in tendon component and structure resulting from tissue degradation processes will make rotator cuff repair very difficult (see Depres-Tremblay G, Chevrier A, Snow M, et al. rotator cuff repair: a review of scientific technologies, animal models, and new technologies under depth [ J ]. J.J. Shoulder Elbow Surg,2016,25(12): 2078. 2085).
The difficulty of repairing rotator cuff injury lies in the repair of the insertion point, which is composed of highly specialized interface tissues and consists of four parts of tissues of tendon, fibrocartilage, calcified cartilage and bone in sequence, so that traction force generated by muscle is conducted to the bone from the tendon, and skeletal motion is realized. However, pathological studies show that the rotator cuff stop tissue structure cannot be restored to a normal form after surgical reconstruction, and the most important problem is that a fibrocartilage layer in a healed tendon-bone interface cannot be regenerated and is only replaced by scar tissue, so that the mechanical performance of the formed indirect stop is far lower than that of a normal direct stop, and the rotator cuff stop tissue structure is easy to be torn again. At present, a biological material with a promoting effect on the repair of the rotator cuff insertion point is urgently needed to relieve the pain of a patient.
The extracellular matrix bioremediation material is a good tissue repair material. The extracellular matrix is prepared by removing all components capable of causing host immune rejection reaction from allogeneic or xenogeneic tissues by adopting a decellularization technology, so that the extracellular matrix and a three-dimensional bracket structure are completely reserved. When the extracellular matrix is used for repairing defective tissues, host cells grow on the extracellular matrix, secrete new extracellular matrix components and form self tissues, so that the repair and reconstruction of the defective tissues are completed. These properties of extracellular matrix materials enable very broad applications in tissue repair.
Extracellular Matrix (ECM) materials made from animal tissues are the main development direction of regenerative medicine. The ECM is a complex organic three-dimensional entity composed of various macromolecular substances such as collagen, non-collagenous proteins, aminoglycans, elastin, and the like, provides suitable sites and microenvironments for the survival and activities of various cells, and can regulate the growth, shape, metabolism, migration, proliferation and differentiation of various cells, thereby regulating the functions of tissues and organs. One important cause of tissue defects is loss of ECM, which is also the reason why the body itself cannot achieve tissue repair and regeneration. Native ECM can serve as "soil" for tissue regeneration and is an ideal tissue repair material. Removal of cellular components from animal tissue removes most of the immunogenicity and retains ECM components, allowing the development of ideal bioprosthetic materials. Currently, bioactive materials that have been used clinically include ECM materials such as allodermis, porcine small intestine submucosa, porcine dermis, embryonic bovine dermis, and the like. Among them, Small Intestinal Submucosa (SIS) matrix material is the most ideal tissue repair material recognized by the academia at present. However, how to effectively realize rotator cuff repair by using extracellular matrix material is still a focus of attention of the academic world.
