Barium Oxide Doped Magnesium Silicate Nanopowders for Bone Fracture Healing: Preparation, Characterization, Antibacterial and In Vivo Animal Studies

Magnesium silicate (MgS) nanopowders doped with barium oxide (BaO) were prepared by sol-gel technique, which were then implanted into a fracture of a tibia bone in rats for studying enhanced in vivo bone regeneration. The produced nanopowders were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier...

description Magnesium silicate (MgS) nanopowders doped with barium oxide (BaO) were prepared by sol-gel technique, which were then implanted into a fracture of a tibia bone in rats for studying enhanced in vivo bone regeneration. The produced nanopowders were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), scanning electron microscope with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM-EDX) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Mechanical and bactericidal properties of the nanopowders were also determined. Increased crystallinity, particle diameter and surface area were found to decrease after the BaO doping without any notable alterations on their chemical integrities. Moreover, elevated mechanical and antibacterial characteristics were recognized for higher BaO doping concentrations. Our animal studies demonstrated that impressive new bone tissues were formed in the fractures while the prepared samples degraded, indicating that the osteogenesis and degradability of the BaO containing MgS samples were better than the control MgS. The results of the animal study indicated that the simultaneous bone formation on magnesium biomaterial silicate and barium MgS with completed bone healing after five weeks of implantations. The findings also demonstrated that the prepared samples with good biocompatibility and degradability could enhance vascularization and osteogenesis, and they have therapeutic potential to heal bone fractures.
