Experimental research on in vitro antibacterial property and biocompatibility of bone filling materials of TiO_2-Ag-nHA/PA66 / 中国矫形外科杂志

ABSTRACT

[Objective]To investigate the in vitro antibacterial effect and biocompatibility of the bone filling materials of TiO_2-Ag-nHA/PA66.[Method]The inhibition ring test and plate-counting method were used to evaluate anti-bacterial performance against staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923 and escherichia coli ATCC25922.The effects of antiadhesion of staphylococcus aureus and escherichia coli were observed by scanning electron microscope(SEM).The cytotoxicity was detected via MTT and the biocompatibility of biofilm was evaluated by acute haemolysis test.[Result]The inhibition zone diameter of staphylococcus aureus and escherichia coli reaches the maximum at the first day[(23.6?1.14) mm and(18.8?0.84 mm)].The diameter of inhibition zone was lessening with the time going.It could effectively inhibite the survival and growth of staphylococcus aureus and escherichia coli within 33 and 24 days.The bacteria killing rate was 94.18% and 85.96%.Scanning electron microscope showed that the adhered bacteria in the experimental group were obviously fewer than in the control group.The MTT graded the cytotoxicity of the bone filling materials of TiO_2-Ag-nHA/PA66 as 1.The acute haemolysis assay showed that the hemolytic rate of bone filling materials of TiO_2-Ag-nHA/PA66 was 0.28%.[Conclusion]The bone filling materials of TiO_2-Ag-nHA/PA66 has good biocompatibility,significant antibacterial property against staphylococcus aureus and escherichia coli.No obvious cytotoxicity or erythrocyte destruction was found.
