Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing a sliding member for an artificial joint, a sliding member for an artificial joint, and an artificial joint.
- a treatment method has been established in which a joint that has lost its original function due to a disease such as trauma or osteoarthritis is replaced with an artificial joint.
- an artificial joint member whose sliding surface is made of a polymer having a phosphorylcholine group is known.
- One aspect of the present disclosure provides a sliding member for an artificial joint having a wear resistance equal to or higher than that of the conventional one after reducing the concentration of a compound having a phosphorylcholine group.
- a base material is brought into contact with a treated aqueous solution containing a compound having a phosphorylcholine group of 0.20 mol / L or more and less than 0.50 mol / L and a water-soluble inorganic salt. It includes a step of irradiating ultraviolet rays in the state of being allowed to do so.
- the sliding member for an artificial joint is a polymer chain obtained by polymerizing a base material containing a compound having a methylene group and a compound having a phosphorylcholine group formed on the surface of at least a part of the base material.
- the polymer film containing the above is provided, and the following formula (1) is satisfied. (Peak intensity of phosphate group / Peak intensity of methylene group in infrared spectroscopic analysis spectrum) / Thickness of polymer film ⁇ 0.007 nm -1 ...
- the sliding member for an artificial joint according to the present disclosure is obtained by polymerizing a base material containing a compound having a benzene ring and a compound having an ester group and a phosphorylcholine group formed on the surface of at least a part of the base material.
- a polymer film containing a polymer chain is provided, and the following formula (2) is satisfied. (Peak intensity of ester group in infrared spectroscopic analysis spectrum / Peak intensity of benzene ring) / Thickness of polymer film ⁇ 0.0005 nm -1 ... (2)
- a sliding member for an artificial joint having wear resistance that can be used as a member for an artificial joint while reducing the concentration of a compound having a phosphorylcholine group.
- FIG. It is a schematic diagram of the artificial hip joint 1 which concerns on one Embodiment. It is a schematic diagram of the acetabular cup 10 which concerns on one Embodiment. It is a figure which shows the result of the simulation in Reference Example 1.
- FIG. It is a figure showing the relationship between the concentration of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine in the treated aqueous solution in the example and comparative example using UHMWPE as a base material, and the density (phosphoric acid index / film thickness) of the formed polymer film. ..
- the method for producing a sliding member for an artificial joint is to prepare a base material in a treated aqueous solution containing a compound having a phosphorylcholine group of 0.20 mol / L or more and less than 0.50 mol / L and a water-soluble inorganic salt. It includes a step of irradiating ultraviolet rays in contact with each other. As a result, a polymer film containing a polymer chain in which a compound having a phosphorylcholine group is polymerized can be formed on the surface of at least a part of the base material.
- a sliding member for an artificial joint in which the surface of the base material is covered with a polymer film.
- the compound having a phosphorylcholine group is also referred to as "PC compound".
- the artificial joint is embedded in the living body, it is required to maintain a safe and constant function in the living body for a long period of time.
- a total replacement prosthesis primarily comprises two members, each of which is attached to the distal portion of the bone. When moving a joint, these two members move relatively and slide. As this sliding is repeated, abrasion powder may be generated from these members.
- the generated wear debris is recognized as a foreign substance in the living body, and the bioimmune system functions to eliminate it.
- multinucleated cells called osteoclasts are activated, and osteolysis occurs in which the bone around the artificial joint is absorbed.
- osteolysis occurs, a gap may be formed between the bone and the artificial joint, resulting in loosening of the artificial joint. Since sliding is unavoidable as long as it is an artificial joint, a sliding material having excellent wear resistance, in which the generation of such wear powder is suppressed, is required.
- PC compounds are expensive, it is desired to reduce the amount of PC compounds used from the viewpoint of production cost.
- the above-mentioned conventional technique has room for improvement from the viewpoint of realizing a sliding member for an artificial joint having a wear resistance equal to or higher than that of the conventional technique while reducing the concentration of the PC compound.
- the wear resistance is equal to or higher than that of the conventional one, even though the concentration of the PC compound is lower than that of the conventional one. It has been found that a sliding member for an artificial joint having a property can be realized.
- the present inventor improves the radical polymerization efficiency by adding a water-soluble inorganic salt to the treated aqueous solution containing the PC compound, whereby a polymer film is formed on the surface of the substrate by using the treated aqueous solution having a lower concentration than before. We found that it could be formed. Further, the present inventor has found from the results of simulation and actual test by molecular orbital calculation that the lower the concentration of the treated aqueous solution is, the better it is, and that there is a suitable concentration range.
- a high-density polymer film can be formed by using a treated aqueous solution containing a PC compound at the above-mentioned specific concentration together with a water-soluble inorganic salt. As a result, it is possible to realize a sliding member for an artificial joint having wear resistance equal to or higher than that of the conventional one.
- the step of irradiating the above-mentioned treated aqueous solution with ultraviolet rays in a state where the base material is in contact with the above-mentioned treated aqueous solution is also referred to as a “polymer film forming step”.
- the cartilage surface of the joints of living organisms is covered with phospholipids.
- This phospholipid contributes to cartilage protection and high lubrication.
- a good lubrication state is maintained for a long period of time by forming the sliding surface with a polymer film containing a polymer chain in which a PC compound having a chemical structure similar to that of the phospholipid is polymerized.
- the treated aqueous solution contains a PC compound and a water-soluble inorganic salt in addition to water.
- the concentration of the PC compound in the treated aqueous solution is 0.20 mol / L or more and less than 0.50 mol / L, may be 0.20 mol / L or more and 0.40 mol / L or less, and 0.20 mol / L or more and 0. It may be .33 mol / L or less, 0.20 mol / L or more and 0.30 mol / L or less, or 0.225 mol / L or more and 0.30 mol / L or less.
- a polymer film can be formed on the sliding surface of the base material. Can be graft-bonded.
- PC compound examples include 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine, 2-acryloyloxyethylphosphorylcholine, 4-methacryloyloxybutylphosphorylcholine, 6-methacryloyloxyhexylphosphorylcholine, and ⁇ -methacryloyloxyethylenephosphorylcholine.
- 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine may be used.
- 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine is also referred to as "MPC”.
- the polymer obtained by polymerizing MPC is also referred to as poly (MPC) or PMPC.
- MPC has a chemical structure shown in the following structural formula, and is a polymerizable monomer having a phosphorylcholine group and a polymerizable methacrylic acid unit.
- MPC is easily polymerized by radical polymerization, a high molecular weight homopolymer can be formed (Ishihara et al., Polymer Journal 22, p355 (1990)). Therefore, when a polymer film is formed as an aggregate of polymer chains obtained by polymerizing MPC, the graft bond between the MPC polymer chain and the sliding surface of the base material can be performed under relatively loose conditions. Further, a high-density polymer film can be formed to form a large amount of phosphorylcholine groups on the sliding surface of the base material.
- the polymer film can be formed not only as a homopolymer composed of a single polymerizable monomer having a phosphorylcholine group, but also as a copolymer composed of a polymerizable monomer having a phosphorylcholine group and, for example, another vinyl compound monomer. .. Thereby, depending on the type of other vinyl compound monomer used, functions such as improvement of mechanical strength can be added to the polymer film.
- Examples of the water-soluble inorganic salt include alkali metal salts and alkaline earth metal salts.
- Examples of the alkali metal salt include sodium salt, potassium salt, lithium salt, cesium salt and the like.
- Examples of the alkaline earth metal salt include magnesium salt, calcium salt, strontium salt, barium salt and radium salt.
- halides for example, chlorides, fluorides, bromides, iodides, etc.
- phosphates, carbonates, nitrates, hydroxides and the like can be mentioned.
- the water-soluble inorganic salt is, for example, one or more selected from the group consisting of sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride and magnesium chloride.
- the concentration of the water-soluble inorganic salt in the treated aqueous solution can be set to, for example, 0.01 to 5.0 mol / L. Further, the concentration of the water-soluble inorganic salt in the treated aqueous solution can be set to, for example, 1.0 to 5.0 mol / L or 1.0 to 3.0 mol / L. At the above concentration, a polymer film having a sufficient graft density can be efficiently formed.
- a polymer film having a film thickness of 100 nm or more can be formed on the surface of the base material in a short time of 1 to 90 minutes. More specifically, it is also possible to obtain a polymer film having a film thickness of 600 nm or more. Even with such a large film thickness, no voids or the like are observed at the interface between the film and the base material, and it can be expected that the film has sufficient film strength.
- the material constituting the base material examples include polymer materials such as polyolefin-based materials such as polyethylene and aromatic polyetherketone-based materials such as polyetheretherketone (PEEK). These polymeric materials may include, for example, functional compounds such as antioxidants, cross-linking agents and / or reinforcing materials such as carbon fibers.

(赤外分光分析スペクトルのエステル基のピーク強度/ベンゼン環のピーク強度)/高分子膜の膜厚≧0.0005nm-1 ・・・(2)
一実施形態に係る人工関節用摺動部材の製造方法は、0.20mol/L以上0.50mol/L未満のホスホリルコリン基を有する化合物と水溶性無機塩とを含有する処理水溶液に、基材を接触させた状態で紫外線を照射する工程を含む。これにより、基材の少なくとも一部の表面に、ホスホリルコリン基を有する化合物が重合した高分子鎖を含む高分子膜を形成できる。すなわち、基材表面が高分子膜によって被覆された人工関節用摺動部材を得ることができる。以下では、ホスホリルコリン基を有する化合物を「PC化合物」とも称する。
人工関節は、生体内に埋設されるため、生体において長期にわたって安全で、且つ一定の機能を保持することが求められる。新しい人工関節への入れ換えをできる限り避けることにより、患者の身体的あるいは経済的な負担を減らすことができる。
例えば全置換人工関節は、主に2つの部材を含み、当該2つの部材それぞれが骨の末端部分に取り付けられる。関節を動かすとき、これら2つの部材が相対的に移動して摺動する。この摺動を繰り返すうちに、これらの部材から摩耗粉が発生し得る。発生した摩耗粉は、生体内で異物として認識されるので、これを排除するために生体免疫システムが機能する。このとき破骨細胞と呼ばれる多核細胞が活性化され、人工関節周辺の骨が吸収される骨溶解(osteolysis)が起こる。この骨溶解が起こると、骨と人工関節との間に空隙が形成されて人工関節の弛み(loosening)が生じ得る。人工関節である限り、摺動することは避けられないので、このような摩耗粉の発生が抑制された、耐摩耗性に優れた摺動材料が求められる。
一方で、PC化合物は高価格であることから、生産コストの観点においてその使用量を少なくすることが望まれる。また、PC化合物を用いて人工関節部材を処理する際に、使用した化合物の全てが人工関節部材の表面へ結合されるわけではない。結合されなかったPC化合物は廃棄されるため、環境への影響の観点からもその使用量は少ない方がよい。上述のような従来技術は、PC化合物の濃度を低減したうえで従来と同等またはそれ以上の耐摩耗性を有する人工関節用摺動部材を実現するという観点からは改善の余地があった。
本発明者は鋭意検討した結果、水溶性無機塩とともにPC化合物を特定の濃度にて用いることにより、従来に比べてPC化合物の濃度が低いにもかかわらず、従来と同等またはそれ以上の耐摩耗性を有する人工関節用摺動部材を実現できることを見出した。

一実施形態に係る人工関節用摺動部材の製造方法は、高分子膜形成工程の前に、高分子材料の分子内に架橋構造を生じさせる架橋工程を含んでいてもよい。これにより、耐摩耗性などの機械的特性がさらに向上した基材が得られる。

(a)高分子膜の密度
まず、試験片に対してFT-IR測定を行った。FT-IR測定は、FT-IR装置(日本分光株式会社製FT/IR-6300 type A)を用い、分解能4cm-1、積算回数64回として測定した。
高分子膜の密度=(赤外分光分析スペクトルのリン酸基のピーク強度/メチレン基のピーク強度)/高分子膜の膜厚
高分子膜の密度=(赤外分光分析スペクトルのエステル基のピーク強度/ベンゼン環のピーク強度)/高分子膜の膜厚
Pin-on-disk試験によって、重量摩耗率を測定した。具体的には、pin-on-disk型摩耗試験機(AMTI社製Ortho-POD)を用い、ASTM F732-00規格を参考に多方向摺動試験により重量摩耗率を測定した。多方向摺動試験は、37℃のウシ血清中にて行った。最大荷重は213Nとし、摺動距離30mm、摺動速度1Hzの条件で100万サイクルまで試験を行った。25万サイクル毎に潤滑液の交換を行うと同時に、試験片の回収、洗浄、乾燥、重量測定を行った。併せて、コントロール群の試験片を潤滑液中に浸漬し、その重量変化から吸水量を補正することで摩耗量を算出した。
図4は、UHMWPEを基材とした実施例および比較例における処理水溶液中のMPCの濃度と、形成された高分子膜の密度(リン酸指数/膜厚)との関係を表す図である。図4から、0.20mol/L以上0.50mol/L未満のMPCと水溶性無機塩とを含有する処理水溶液を用いた場合、高密度のPMPC層を得られることがわかる。特に0.20mol/L以上0.30mol/L以下のMPCと水溶性無機塩とを含有する処理水溶液を用いた場合、密度が0.007nm-1以上である高分子膜を得ることができる。これに比べて、例えばMPC濃度0.50mol/Lである場合、得られる高分子膜の密度は0.0045nm-1程度である。すなわち、一実施形態によれば、従来に比べて高密度の高分子膜を得られることがわかる。
