Description

Osteochondral scaffold and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a bone cartilage scaffold and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Articular cartilage lesions, as a fundamental pathological process, are involved in almost all clinically common early stages of pathological changes in joint diseases. Because the cartilage tissue lacks blood vessels and lymph distribution, has low content of cartilage cells, lacks progenitor cells necessary for cell differentiation, is embedded in thick extracellular matrix, has high migration difficulty, cannot effectively move to a damaged part to participate in repair, has very poor self-repair capability, and is difficult to naturally repair even tiny cartilage defects. The emergence of tissue engineering technology provides a brand new thought and method for the treatment of articular cartilage injury.
At present, the design of the tissue engineering bone cartilage scaffold is mainly divided into the following categories: 1) the bone adopts a bracket, the cartilage does not adopt the bracket, namely, the cartilage cells with high density are directly planted above the bone bracket; 2) two scaffold materials suitable for bone and cartilage construction are adopted, tissue engineering bone and cartilage are formed by in vitro culture respectively, and then the tissue engineering bone and cartilage are assembled into a tissue engineering bone-cartilage complex by methods such as adhesion, surgical suture or sequential implantation; 3) the bone and the cartilage are all integrated single-layer scaffolds made of the same scaffold material; 4) the osteochondral part is an integrated double-layer bracket constructed by two different bracket materials.
The double-layered osteochondral scaffold has more excellent characteristics because its layered structure is designed according to the growth requirements of bone and cartilage. However, the bone cartilage biphasic scaffold has the following problems: 1) the upper layer cartilage material has poor mechanical property, absorbs water and deforms after being implanted into a body, and the degradation rate is high; 2) the cartilage after repair is fibrocartilage rather than hyaline cartilage; 3) the newly formed cartilage is poorly integrated with the surrounding cartilage tissue. The existing clinical products repair osteochondral defects by perfusion, have no through hole structure, cells cannot enter the inside of the bracket and only stay on the surface, and the repair effect is not good; in addition, scar tissue or ossification may occur; 4) the mechanical strength of the connecting part is not enough, and the connecting part is easy to separate; it is easy to prevent the penetration of the cartilage layer of the bone layer, resulting in cell migration and nutrient transport failure.
Disclosure of Invention
