Synthesis of silver @hydroxyapatite nanoparticles based biocomposite and their assessment for viability of Osseointegration for rabbit knee joint anterior cruciate ligament rehabilitation

摘要

In this examination, chitosan-silk fibroin/polyethylene terephthalate (CTS-SF/PET), chitosan-silk fibroin/polyethylene terephthalate/hydroxyapatite (CTS-SF/PET/HAP) and chitosan-silk fibroin/polyethylene terephthalate/Silver @hydroxyapatite (CTS-SF/PET/Ag@HAP) scaffolds were prepared by utilizing the plasma splashing procedure. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) results demonstrated that the outside of the PET covered with HAP nanoparticles. The cell viability results demonstrated that the number of Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) primarily spread out on CTS-SF/PET/Ag@HAP. RT-PCR results demonstrated that there was an upregulated mRNA articulation of osseous development-related properties in the CTS-SF/PET/Ag@HAP composite. The in vivo rabbit animal assessment scores of the CTS-SF/PET/Ag@HAP composite were significantly better than those of the CTS-SF/PET at 1 to 3 months. Both in-vivo and in-vitro results exhibited in this investigation recommend that the cytocompatibility and osseointegration of CTS-SF/PET/Ag@HAP tendon were fundamentally improved by expanding the multiplication of cells and up-regulating the outflow of tendon development-related properties. In conclusion, the CTS-SF/PET/Ag@HAP tendon is a promising candidate for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) replacement in the future.
