Abstract
It is still a major challenge to remove tumor cells and fill bone defects after tumor resection. Combined with the 3D printing technology, the composite bioceramics scaffolds were fabricated with interconnected porous magnesium-doped wollastonite (CSi-Mg) scaffolds as the architecture and nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA) as the surface. The influence of manufacturing process on the n-HA layer thickness and degradation performance, biological performance and anti-tumor performance of the composite scaffolds were investigated. The n-HA surface layer could effectively retard the degradation rate of CSi-Mg scaffolds and maintain high mechanical strength (over 90 MPa) after immersion in simulated body fluid for 3 weeks. Meanwhile, CSi-Mg/n-HA3 scaffold induced about 50 % of cell death for human osteosarcoma cells (MG-63) in vitro. CSi-Mg/n-HAx (x = 1, 3) scaffolds could improve the osteogenic performance of Rat BMSC. These findings demonstrate that the bioceramic composite scaffold with high strength, good osteogenic performance and anti-tumor performance is promising for the treatment of tissue injury after resection of osteosarcoma.
