The purpose of this study was to evaluate newly fabricated tricalcium phosphate(TCP)/chitosan microgranuls as bone substitutes. TCP/chitosan microgranules were fabricated by dropping TCP-chitosan suspension into the NaOH/ethanol solution. The size of microgranules could be controllable via airflow rate. PDGF-BB was loaded into the fabricated granules via freeze-drying methods(300 ng/20 mg). To evaluate cell proliferation, cultured osteoblasts cell lines(MC3T3-El) was dropped on the BioOss(R), chitosan microgranules, TCP/chitosan microgranules and cultured for 1, 7 , 14, and 28 days. Scanning electron microscopic observation was done after 7 days of culture and light microscopic examination was done after 28 days of culture. PDGF-BB release from the microgranules was tested. Rabbit calvarial defects(8 mm in diameter) were formed and chitosan, TCP/chitosan, PDGF-TCP/chitosan microgranules, and BioGran(R) were grafted to test the ability of new bone formation. At SEM view, the size of prepared microgranules was 250-1000 um and TCP powders were observed at the surface of TCP/chitosan microgranules. TCP powders gave roughness to the granules and this might help the attachment of osteoblasts. The pores formed between microgranules might be able to allow new bone ingrowth and vascularization. There were no significant differences in cell number among BioOss(R) and two microgranules at 28 day. Light and scanning electron microscopic examination showed that seeded osteoblastic cells were well attached to TCP/chitosan microgranules and proliferated in a multi-layer. PDGF-BB released from TCP/chitosan microgranules was at therapeutic concentration for at least 1 week. In rabbit calvarial defect models, PDGF-TCP/chitosan microgranules grafted sites showed thicker bone trabeculae pattern and faster bone maturation than others. These results suggested that the TCP/chitosan microgranules showed the potential as bone substitutes.

For the purpose of obtaining high bone forming efficacy, chitosan microgranules were developed as bone substitutes. Chitosan has been applied to conduct the extracellular matrix (ECM) formation in tissue regenerative therapy. Microgranules designed in this study confer drug releasingcapacity in bone defect over long period to enhance bone regeneration. (omitted)

Twin-screw extruder를 사용하여 인산제분 제조실험을 실시하였다. 옥수수 전분에 sodiumtripolyphosphate(STPP) 수용액을 분무하여 전분건물에 STPP 함량이 2%가 되도록 혼합하고, 원료투입속도 20 kg/hr 및 extrusion 온도 $130^{\circ}C$의 조건하에서 추가가수하여 조절한 process parameters 중 원료수분함량(23,25,30,35%) 및 스크류 회전속도(200,250,300,350 rpm)변화에 따라 압출되면서 측정한 system parameters(기계적 소모에너지, 압출물의 수분함량)와 압출된 인산전분의 특성인 target parameters(치환도, 호화도 및 분산액의 점도 및 겔 특성)와의 관계를 반응표면 분석하여 인산전분 제조공정을 검토하였다. 이 때 치환도는 수분함량이 클 수록 증가 하였고 스크류 회전속도 250rpm에서 최고의 값을 나타내었다. 호화도는 수분함량이 감소하고 스크류 회전속도가 증가할 수록 높았다. 주사전자현미경에 의한 전분입자의 미세구조는 입자의 붕괴가 크게 일어났으며 결과적으로 고유점도가 감소되었으나 용해도는 증가하였다. 또한, 겔의 노화속도는 치환도가 크고 점도가 낮을수록 지연되는 결과를 보였다.
