Description

Hydrogel scleral plug and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medical high polymer materials, in particular to a hydrogel scleral plug, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Vitrectomy is the main surgical mode of the current vitreoretinal disease, and is widely applied to diseases such as macula disease of the posterior pole of retina, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment and the like. Among them, conventional 20G trans-ciliary pars plana vitrectomy, and 25G/23G minimally invasive vitrectomy, have been widely used in ophthalmic clinics. Depending on the size of the incision, the incision is typically treated with a seamless or suture after the procedure is completed. The method can shorten the operation time, shorten the vision recovery speed of cornea astigmatism, reduce anterior segment inflammation, reduce postoperative discomfort and early recovery of patients. The self-sealing of minimally invasive surgical wounds depends on the wound structure and physiological ocular pressure, and when post-operatively at low ocular pressure, tears are drawn into the eye due to the "suction" effect, which can lead to endophthalmitis and hypotonia. Suture suturing can reduce the incidence of infection and hypotonia to some extent, but can extend the surgical time and vision recovery time. The suture reaction of the sclera lasts for half a year, so that the eyes of the patient have foreign body sensation, the life quality of the patient is influenced, and even the recovery of the eyesight of the eyes is influenced.
In addition to the above-described common treatments, the scleral incision may be adhered using materials such as bone scleral plug, cyanoacrylate glue, tissue fibrin glue, and the like. Although the bone scleral plug is simple to manufacture and convenient to implant, the bone scleral plug is not degradable in material, is unfavorable for tissue healing, has weak adhesion with the tissue, and is easy to extrude and fall off under the pressure of the aqueous humor; cyanoacrylate glue generates heat when being solidified and rapidly settles into a material which is not easy to bend and fragile, and the formed rough and hydrophobic surface can cause discomfort to patients; while fibrin glues are limited in practical use because of the theoretical risk of allergic reactions and disease transmission.
In addition, prior art CN114939192a discloses a hydrogel for scleral nails, which comprises polyethylene glycol diacrylate and a photoinitiator in addition to chitosan, and after photocrosslinking curing, the hydrogel for scleral nails is difficult to degrade in vivo, affecting scleral wound healing.

Test example 1
In vitro degradation experiments of hydrogel scleral plug
The initial weights of the hydrogel scleral plugs prepared in examples 1 to 36 and comparative examples 1 to 6 were measured and recorded as M day0 . Placing the hydrogel sclera plugs in 1.5mL of phosphate buffer solution, shaking in a gas bath shaker at 37deg.C and 55r/min, centrifuging at x-th day (x=1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 14 and 21 days) to remove phosphate buffer solution, washing the obtained precipitate with ultrapure water for 3 times, lyophilizing in a lyophilizer for 24 hr to obtain hydrogel sclera plugs (denoted by M respectively) dayx ) Degradation rate of hydrogel scleral plug= (M day0 -M dayx )/M day0 X 100%, each hydrogel scleral plug was subjected to 10 independent replicates and degradation rate results were expressed as mean ± standard deviation as shown in fig. 2.
As is clear from FIG. 2, when the gelatin concentration was 0.33g/mL, the genipin concentration was not more than 0.00025g/mL, and the hydrogel scleral plug was completely degraded within 24 hours. As the genipin concentration increased, the degradation rate decreased, and at day 7, the degradation rate of the hydrogel scleral plug was about 70% with a genipin concentration of 0.0005, 0.00075 g/mL. But at day 21, all genipin concentrations had hydrogel scleral plug degradation rates exceeding 50%.
When the gelatin concentration is 0.25g/mL, the genipin concentration is below 0.0001g/mL, the hydrogel scleral plug is completely degraded within 24 hours, and when the genipin concentration is 0.00025g/mL, the hydrogel scleral plug is completely degraded on the 5 th day. As the genipin concentration increases, the degradation rate decreases. At day 7, the degradation rate of the hydrogel scleral plug was approximately 50% at a genipin concentration of 0.0005g/mL, and at day 21, the degradation rates of the hydrogel scleral plugs were less than 50% at genipin concentrations of 0.001 and 0.002g/mL, respectively, approximately 45% and 35%.
When the gelatin concentration is 0.2g/mL, the genipin concentration is less than 0.0001g/mL, the hydrogel scleral plug is completely degraded in 24 hours, and when the genipin concentration is 0.00025g/mL, the genipin is completely degraded on the 3 rd day. As the genipin concentration increases, the degradation rate decreases. The degradation rate of the hydrogel scleral plug at day 7 was about 55% with a genipin concentration of 0.0005g/mL, and at day 21, the degradation rates of the hydrogel scleral plugs at both 0.001 and 0.002g/mL were less than 50%, about 40% and 20%, respectively.
When the gelatin concentration is 0.17g/mL, the genipin concentration is less than 0.0001g/mL, the hydrogel scleral plug is completely degraded in 24 hours, and when the genipin concentration is 0.00025g/mL, the genipin is completely degraded on the 5 th day. As the genipin concentration increases, the degradation rate decreases. At day 7, the degradation rate of the hydrogel scleral plug at a genipin concentration of 0.0005g/mL is about 40%, and at day 21, the degradation rate of the hydrogel scleral plug at a genipin concentration of 0.002g/mL is less than 50%, about 25%;
when the gelatin concentration is 0.14g/mL and the genipin concentration is below 0.00025g/mL, the hydrogel scleral plug is completely degraded within 24 hours. As the genipin concentration increases, the degradation rate decreases. At day 7, the degradation rate of the hydrogel scleral plug with the genipin concentration of 0.0005g/mL is about 90%, and at day 21, the degradation rate of the hydrogel scleral plug with the genipin concentration of 0.002g/mL is less than 50%, about 40%;
when the gelatin concentration is 0.125g/mL and the genipin concentration is below 0.00025g/mL, the hydrogel scleral plug is completely degraded within 24h. As the genipin concentration increases, the degradation rate decreases. The degradation rate of the hydrogel scleral plug at the genipin concentration of 0.0005g/mL was about 40% at day 7, and the degradation rate of the hydrogel scleral plug at the genipin concentration of 0.0005-0.001 g/mL was about 70% at day 21.
In conclusion, all hydrogel scleral plugs with genipin concentration below 0.00025g/mL completely degraded within 5 days; with the increase of the genipin concentration, the degradation rate is reduced, and the hydrogel scleral plug (example 27) with the gelatin concentration of 0.14g/mL and the genipin concentration of 0.0005g/mL can degrade by about 90% on the 7 th day, thereby conforming to the wound healing period of clinical patients and being suitable for clinical application. In addition, except for the examples 1-6 with the gelatin concentration of 0.33g/mL, the degradation rate of the hydrogel scleral plug with the genipin concentration of 0.002g/mL at all the other gelatin concentrations is less than 50 percent on the 21 st day, and the hydrogel scleral plug has potential to be used as a carrier for the slow release of intraocular drugs.
