PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a scaffolding material for effectively regenerating the interface of a hard tissue and a soft tissue and to provide an implant capable of sufficiently filling a hard tissue-soft tissue defficient part by utilizing the scaffolding material. SOLUTION: A biodegradable polymeric material is dipped in a calcium ion-containing solution and a phosphate ion-containing solution to add calcium phosphate to the interior of the biodegradable polymeric material in a gradient state. The biodegradable polymeric material is utilized as a scaffold to regenerate the hard tissue-soft tissue interface. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an organic-inorganic composite biological material having excellent organism bone similarity by finding the optimum condition for promoting self-organization in a composite of collagen and hydroxyapatite. SOLUTION: Calcium ion and phosphate ion concentration in a reaction container are optimized by controlling starting material concentration and liquid feed speed to manufacture an organic-inorganic composite biological material formed of composite having the mean fiber length of 60 μm or more and containing hydroxyapatite and collagen. Further, bridging is introduced into the biological material to manufacture the organic-inorganic composite biological material having mechanical strengths and in-vivo decomposition speed suitable for artificial bone material.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a composite for biomaterial which has a high strength and physical properties approximating to those of the bones of living things and exhibits a superior resistance to degradation when the material is implanted in an organism and a method for manufacturing the material. SOLUTION: This composite for biomaterial is obtained by performing the coprecipitation of calcium phosphate and collagen by mixing an aqueous solution of phosphoric acid containing the collagen and an aqueous solution containing a calcium slat with each other, and then, press-molding the obtained precipitated. At this time, the precipitate is crosslinked, when press-molding or after press- molding, for obtaining the composite for biomaterial.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize in vivo absorbability suitable for artificial bone material while maintaining the mechanical strength of a composite biomaterial consisting of a calcium salt (more particularly hydroxy apatite) and collagen. SOLUTION: Crosslinking is introduced into collagen of a composite biomaterial consisting of the calcium salt (more particularly hydroxy apatite) and the collagen, by which the in vivo degradation rate of the composite biomaterial is controlled.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a means for developing an artificial vertebral body having a nanocomposite and cubic structure similar to that of autogenetic bone in addition to such excellent features as an invasion of new blood vessels and osteogenetic cells, or the like. SOLUTION: This artificial vertebral body is composed of moldings of pressed anhydrous cosediments of hydroxyapatite(HAp) and collagen(Col) having a capability of regenerating bone marrows, wherein pores for blood vessels and osteogenetic cells to invade are punctured on a composite of HAp/Col of the nanocomposite whose HAp particles are composited in the surrounding of Col fibers and whose c axis of the HAp particles is orientated toward a direction of Col fibers. An in vivo decomposition absorptive retainer for fixing the artificial vertebral body is composed of a plate of polylactic acid orientated toward an axial direction by extension following ejection molding of melted polylactic acid, while four corners of the plate are provided with screw holes for fixing the vertebra with the plate.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To manufacture hydroxy-apatite nano particles in a certain shape, large crystallization with large surface area. SOLUTION: A hydroxy-atatite nano particle is 50 nm-5 μm in a maximum diameter of a minor axis and 75 nm-10 μm in a maximum diameter of a major axis. The particle is grown in a c-axis direction with a 1-5 aspect ratio (c-axis length/a-axis length) of crystallization, and is truncated column structure having an oblique angle plane at a top-end angle. In manufacturing the hydroxy-apatite fine particles, a calcium solution and a phosphoric acid solution are dissolved in, mixed with, and reacted to a surfactant/water/oil type emulsion phase at a surfactant clouding point or more. By changing ratio of a surfactant functional group and a hydrophile/hydrophobe ratio, a size of hydroxy-apatite nano particles is controlled. The hydroxy-apatite nano particles are used for surface modification of organic high polymer in order to enhance reaction of the particles and the matrix, and are suitable as chromatography packing agents.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To develop a material for anagenesis which is useful as a matrix of various anageneses of cartilage, liver, blood vessel, nerve, or the like, and which exhibits physical properties extremely similar to each tissue and has an excellent biological function in a system capable of putting the material in a mold and molding the material. SOLUTION: This glycosaminoglycan-polycation complex for a matrix of anagenesis is crosslinked by a condensation reaction between glycosaminoglycan and a polycation. The glycosaminoglycan-polycation complex is produced by crosslinking the glycosaminoglycan and the polycation in a salt concentration not to form a polyion complex by a condensation reaction using water-soluble carbodiimide as a condensation agent.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a modularized artificial bone which makes it possible to easily obtain shapes and dimensions desired to be complemented, does not exert burden to the living body and may be easily integrated with the osteostructure of the living body. SOLUTION: The artificial bone to be replaced in the defective part of the hard tissue or soft tissue of the living body is formed by bundling plural rod-like modules 3 and integrally fixing the bundles. The modules 3 are recommended to have >=1 annular grooves on the circumferences and to be formed with tubular spaces (corresponding to Haversian canals) in a direction orthogonal with an axial direction. The sectional shapes of the modules 3 are preferably polygonal shapes having rounded corners and tubular spaces (corresponding to Volkmann's vessels) are preferably formed between the modules 3 and the modules 3. The module defective part for at least one piece exists and this part is preferably the tubular space 2 (corresponding to the spinal fluid vessel) in the axial direction. The modules 3 are preferably made from metals for the living body, bioactive ceramics, bioinert ceramics, high-polymer materials or >=2 kinds of the composites selected from the groups consisting thereof.
