The utilization of micronano composite scaffolds has been extensively demonstrated to confer the superior advantages in bone repair compared to single nano- or micron-sized scaffolds. Nevertheless, the enhancement of bioactivities within these composite scaffolds remains challenging. In this study, we propose a novel approach to combine melt electrowriting (MEW) and solution electrospinning (SES) techniques for the fabrication of a composite scaffold incorporating hydroxyapatite (HAP), an osteogenic component, and roxithromycin (ROX), an antibacterial active component. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the hierarchical architecture of the nanofiber-microgrid within the scaffold, as well as the successful loading of HAP and ROX. The incorporation of HAP enhanced the water absorption capacity of the composite scaffold, thus promoting cell adhesion and proliferation, as well as osteogenic differentiation. Furthermore, ROX resulted in effective antibacterial capability without any observable cytotoxicity. Finally, the scaffolds were applied to a rat calvarial defect model, and the results demonstrated that the 20% HAP group exhibited superior new bone formation without causing adverse reactions. Therefore, our findings present a promising strategy for designing and fabricating bioactive scaffolds for bone regeneration.
利用微米-纳米复合支架已经被广泛证明,与单一的纳米或微米级支架相比,其在骨修复方面具有更优越的优势。然而,增强这些复合支架内的生物活性仍然具有挑战性。在本研究中,我们提出了一种新的方法,将熔融静电纺丝(MEW)和溶液静电纺丝(SES)技术结合起来,制造一种包含羟基磷灰石(HAP)和罗红霉素(ROX)的复合支架,HAP 是一种成骨成分,ROX 是一种具有抗菌活性的成分。扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)证实了支架内纳米纤维-微网的分层结构,以及 HAP 和 ROX 的成功加载。HAP 的加入提高了复合支架的吸水能力,从而促进了细胞的黏附和增殖,以及成骨分化。此外,ROX 具有有效的抗菌能力,而没有任何可见的细胞毒性。最后,将支架应用于大鼠颅骨缺损模型,结果表明,20%HAP 组表现出了优异的新骨形成,而没有引起不良反应。因此,我们的研究结果为设计和制造用于骨再生的生物活性支架提供了一种有前途的策略。
