The present invention relates to the technical field of electrospinning, particularly a polyvinyl alcohol/sodium alginate/hydroxyapatite composite fibrous membrane, and a preparation method and application thereof.
A soft tissue injury is a very common type of lesion at present. Soft tissues people often say refer to skin, subcutaneous tissues, muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules, synovial bursae, nerves, blood vessels and the like of the human body. Skin, for example, can protect various tissues and organs in the body from external mechanical and pathogenic damage, and skin injuries and defects may cause a series of pathophysiologic problems. For a large area of skin defects, in addition to autologous skin graft repair, artificial medical dressings may also protect damaged skin to provide a good physiological repair environment for wound healing, and do not have the problem of limited autologous skin sources, thus having broad application prospects.
An ideal artificial medical dressing not only is to cover the wound, but also must: be non-toxic, have favorable biocompatibility, be convenient to use, do not need frequent replacement, be capable of preventing bacterial invasion, be capable of removing exudate and keeping the wound moist, and have a certain bioactivity to promote wound repair. Generally, according to the materials, the artificial medical dressings are divided into traditional dressings, natural dressings, synthetic dressings and medicinal dressings. Considering all the advantages and disadvantages of these dressings, it is an urgent need for people at present to organically combine favorable properties of natural polymer and synthetic polymer materials by an electrospinning method to prepare a composite fiber membrane with biocompatibility and bioactivity as a soft tissue injury repair dressing.
Electrospinning technology originated in the 1930s and has been flourishing in the last 20 years. This technology is low in manufacturing cost and simple in technique, can rapidly obtain a wide variety of ultrafine fibers with diameters ranging from several nanometers to several micrometers, and thus, is recognized as one of the most important methods having the potential for mass production of nanofiber materials. The electrospun nanofiber material with a three-dimensional spatial structure not only has the characteristics of nanoparticles such as small size, large specific surface area and the like, but also has the advantages of favorable mechanical stability, small fibrous membrane pore diameter, high porosity, good fiber continuity and the like. The electrospun nanofiber material facilitates cell adhesion, migration and proliferation, further replicates the three-dimensional structure of tissue, and promotes cell differentiation to different cell lines.
Sodium alginate is a safe and non-toxic natural polymer material, has high hygroscopicity, hemostatic property and gelating property, has the advantages of promoting wound healing, inhibiting bacteria, and reducing local pain and scar formation, and provides a favorable microenvironment for injured skin repair. As a synthetic polymer with good biocompatibility, polyvinyl alcohol is a commonly used raw material for electrospinning due to outstanding film forming and filament forming properties. Hydroxyapatite, as an inorganic component in human bones, has high biocompatibility and bioactivity, high cell adhesion property and high cell affinity; moreover, calcium ions and phosphate ions produced by degradation of hydroxyapatite can provide nutrients for cell growth. However, sodium alginate is a polyelectrolyte, single-component sodium alginate fibrous membrane can hardly be fabricated by the electrospinning method; moreover, the degradation of alginate will lead to weak acidic microenvironment. Whereas, hydroxyapatite is a weak alkaline inorganic substance. Therefore, the blend spinning of the above three materials is considered to achieve the complementary advantages.
The present invention realizes uniform dispersion of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles in the composite fibrous membrane, and the obtained composite fibrous membrane combines the biocompatibility of the natural and synthetic polymers with the bioactivity of the hydroxyapatite nanoparticles. The obtained composite fibrous membrane can be used as a soft tissue injury repair dressing and can load an antibiotic or growth factor to improve the repair effect of soft tissue injuries.
In order to solve the problems that the comprehensive properties of the existing composite fibrous membrane dressings are not excellent enough and the spinning raw material, hydroxyapatite nanoparticles, are prone to agglomeration and uneven dispersion, the present invention provides a polyvinyl alcohol/sodium alginate/hydroxyapatite composite fibrous membrane and a preparation method. The composite fibrous membrane combines the biocompatibility of the natural and synthetic polymers with the bioactivity of the hydroxyapatite nanoparticles. The obtained composite fibrous membrane is an excellent soft tissue injury repair dressing and can carry an antibiotic or growth factor to enhance the repair effect of soft tissue injuries. In order to achieve the goals, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
A polyvinyl alcohol/sodium alginate/hydroxyapatite composite fibrous membrane is disclosed, wherein the mass ratio of polyvinyl alcohol to sodium alginate to hydroxyapatite is 1:(0.01-0.0563):(0.01-0.0834).

Preferably, the concentration of the diammonium hydrogen phosphate water solution is 0.001-0.1 mol/L, and the concentration of the calcium nitrate water solution is 0.00668-0.167 mol/L.

In the above-mentioned solution, the volume ratio of the hydroxyapatite-containing sodium alginate solution to the hydroxyapatite-containing polyvinyl alcohol solution during the mixing is (0.1-1):(1-2).
In the above-mentioned solution, as for the electrospinning, the voltage is 10-15 kv, the receiving distance is 13-18 cm, and the advancing speed is 0.03-0.05 mm/min.
Preferably, an antibiotic or growth factor accounting for 1-5 wt % of the total mass of polyvinyl alcohol, sodium alginate and hydroxyapatite is also added into the spinning solution.
Application of the polyvinyl alcohol/sodium alginate/hydroxyapatite composite fibrous membrane as a soft tissue injury repair dressing is also disclosed.
