Design and Manufacture of Bone Cements Based on Calcium Sulfate Hemihydrate and Mg, Sr-Doped Bioactive Glass

In the present study, a novel composite bone cement based on calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CSH) and Mg, Sr-containing bioactive glass (BG) as solid phase, and solution of chitosan as liquid phase were developed. The phase composition, morphology, setting time, injectability, viscosity, and cellular r...

description In the present study, a novel composite bone cement based on calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CSH) and Mg, Sr-containing bioactive glass (BG) as solid phase, and solution of chitosan as liquid phase were developed. The phase composition, morphology, setting time, injectability, viscosity, and cellular responses of the composites with various contents of BG (0, 10, 20, and 30 wt.%) were investigated. The pure calcium sulfate cement was set at approximately 180 min, whereas the setting time was drastically decreased to 6 min by replacing 30 wt.% glass powder for CSH in the cement solid phase. BG changed the microscopic morphology of the set cement and decreased the size and compaction of the precipitated gypsum phase. Replacing the CSH phase with BG increased injection force of the produced cement; however, all the cements were injected at a nearly constant force, lower than 20 N. The viscosity measurements in oscillatory mode determined the shear-thinning behavior of the pastes. Although the viscosity of the pastes increased with increasing BG content, it was influenced by the frequency extent. Pure calcium sulfate cement exhibited some transient cytotoxicity on human-derived bone mesenchymal stem cells and it was compensated by introducing BG phase. Moreover, BG improved the cell proliferation and mineralization of extracellular matrix as shown by calcein measurements. The results indicate the injectable composite cement comprising 70 wt.% CSH and 30 wt.% Mg, Sr-doped BG has better setting, mechanical and cellular behaviors and hence, is a potential candidate for bone repair, however more animal and human clinical evaluations are essential.
