    Abstract:
    Poor osteogenesis and bacterial infection lead to the failure of implants, thus enhancements of osteogenic activity and antibacterial activity of the implants have significances in orthopedic applications. In this study, macro-microporous bone implants of nano-bioglass (nBG) and polyetheretherketone (PK) composite (mBPC) were fabricated. The results indicated that the mBPC with the porosity of around 70% exhibited interconnected macropores (sizes of about 400 μm) and micropores (sizes of about 10 μm). The apatite mineralization ability of mBPC in simulated body fluid (SBF) was significantly improved compared with macroporous nBG/PK composite (BPC) without micropores and macroporous PK (mPK). Drug of hinokitiol (HK) was loaded into mBPC (dmBPC), which displayed excellent in vitro antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The MC3T3-E1 cells proliferation and ALP activity were significantly promoted by mBPC and dmBPC as compared with BPC and mPK. The micro-CT and histological evaluation showed that both mBPC and dmBPC containing nBG and micropores induced higher new bone formation into porous implants than mPK and BPC. The immunohistochemistry analysis indicated that the expression of BMP-2 in mBPC and dmBPC exhibited obviously higher level than mPK and BPC. The results suggested that the incorporation of nBG and micropores in mBPC obviously improved the osteogenic activity, and mBPC load with HK also promoted osteogenesis, indicating good biocompatibility. The dmBPC with HK significantly enhanced osteogenesis and antibacterial activity, which had great potential as bone implant for hard tissue repair.
