Resumo
O objetivo desse estudo in vivo foi verificar a resposta óssea de scaffolds porosos revestidos processados pela técnica de Sinterização Direta de Metais a laser (DMLS) associado à terapia de ultrassom de baixa intensidade. Os scaffolds foram processados empregando a técnica DMLS e tratados termicamente a 1000°C por 24 horas. Três tipos de tratamento de superfície foram avaliados: Alcalino, biomimético e imobilização de alendronato de sódio. Para o tratamento alcalino, as amostras foram imersas na solução de NaOH (5M) a 60ºC por 24 horas. O tratamento biomimético consistiu na imersão dos scaffolds em solução SBF (SimulatedBodyFluid) enquanto a imobilização do alendronato foi realizada a partir da imersão dos scaffolds em uma solução formada por SBF e medicamento durante 5 dias. As superfícies dos scaffolds foram avaliadas para cada etapa empregando microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) e análise por difração de raios-X. Os scaffolds foram implantados na tíbia direita de 85 ratos machos da raça wistar com idade média de 12 semanas. A microtomografia computadorizada (µCT) e análise histológica foram realizadas para avaliar o reparo ósseo no defeito. As micrografias das superfícies obtidas mostraram mudanças no aspecto da superfície e composição química de acordo com o tratamento. O tratamento biomimético promoveu o crescimento da apatita sobre a superfície enquanto a imobilização com alendronato suprimiu sua formação. As imagens obtidas na microtomografia mostraram elevado valor de densidade óssea para o último grupo. No entanto, análises histológicas mostraram a formação de cápsula fibrosa em torno dos scaffolds a qual foi minimizada usando ultrassom pulsado de baixa intensidade. No entanto, mais estudos precisam ser realizados para avaliar a influência da geometria dos scaffolds na incorporação de medicamentos.
The objective of this in vivo study was to verify the bone response of coated Ti6Al4V porous scaffolds processed by Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) technique associated to low intensity pulsed ultrasound therapy. Scaffolds were processed by using Direct Metal Laser Sintering technique (DMLS) and heat treated at 1000 °C for 24 hours. Three types of surface treatments were evaluated: alkaline, biomimetic and sodium alendronate immobilization. For alkaline treatment, samples were immersed in a NaOH (5M) solution at 60ºC for 24 hours. Biomimetic treatment consisted in the immersion of the scaffolds into Simulated Body Fluid solution while for sodium alendronato immobilization the scaffolds were immersed in the solution formed by SBF plus drug during 5 days. The scaffolds surfaces were evaluated after each step employing SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy)and X-rays diffraction analysis(XRD). Scaffolds were implanted into right tibia of 85 male Wistar rats with average age of 12 weeks. X-rays micro-computed tomography (µCT) and histological analysis were carried out to evaluate the bone repair on the defect. Micrographs analysis showed that the aspect of the surfaces and chemical composition changed according treatment. Biomimetic treatment promoted the growth of the apatite on the surface; in contrast the immobilization of alendronate suppressed apatite formation. Micro CT images showed higher value of bone density for the last group. However, histological analysis showed the formation of encapsulation fibrous around the scaffolds. This formation was minimized by using low intensity pulsed ultrasound technique, however, more studies can be carried out to evaluate the influence of scaffolds geometry in the drug incorporation.
