骨科钛内置物存在感染的风险, 需要开发具有抗菌性、生物相容性且不易产生耐药性的表面涂层。通过电泳沉积15、30、45、60 s在微弧氧化(MAO)的钛表面制备了4组纳米氧化镁(MgO)涂层。MgO颗粒在MAO表面形成均匀涂层, 覆盖率随电泳时间延长。与金黄色葡萄球菌共培养6 h后, 4组样品抗菌率分别为1%、69%、83%、84%; 共培养24 h后抗菌率分别为81%、86%、89%、98%。显微观察发现MgO沉积样品表面黏附细菌密度、活细菌比例均随沉积时间延长而减少。与小鼠成骨细胞共培养1 d后, 4组样品存活率(相对空白孔板中所接种细胞)分别为108%、89%、53%、27%, 5 d后分别为139%、117%、112%、66%。荧光显微观察发现MAO样品表面未见死细胞, 而MgO沉积样品表面死细胞比例随沉积时间延长而增加, 但在实验周期(5 d)内均<5%。本研究表明电泳沉积30 s制备的MgO涂层具有良好的体外抗菌性和生物相容性。

Titanium orthopaedic implants present a risk of infection and require the development of antibacterial, but still biocompatible and non-resistant coatings. Magnesium oxide (MgO) coatings were prepared on micro-arc oxidized titanium by electrophoretic deposition for 15, 30, 45, or 60 s. Nano-sized MgO particles agglomerated to form homogeneous coatings with surface coverage increasing with the duration of deposition. The four groups produced antibacterial rates of 1%, 69%, 83%, and 84% after co-cultured with S. aureus for 6 h, and 81%, 86%, 89%, and 98% after co-cultured for 24 h. Electron and fluorescence microscopies showed decreasing density of bacterial cells and proportion of living cells with increasing time of deposition. Mouse osteoblasts seeded on the four groups had survival rates of 108%, 89%, 53%, and 27% on day 1, and 139%, 117%, 112%, and 66% on day 5. Proportion of dead cells on the coated samples increased with increasing time of deposition but less than 5% on day 5. These results indicate that MgO coatings prepared by electrophoretic deposition for 30 s is reasonable in vitro antibacterial activities and cytocompatibility.
