| Abstract: |
Biodegradable material, such as magnesium alloy or polylactic acid (PLA), is a promising candidate for orthopedic surgery. The alloying of metals and the addition of rare earths to increase mechanical strength are still questionable in terms of biosafety as absorbent materials. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to understand the effect of substances due to the degradation of various biodegradable substances on organs in the body or surrounding tissues. A total of eighty male Sprague−Dawley rats were selected for this study, and the animals were divided into four groups. Each of the three experimental groups was implanted with magnesium alloy, polymer, and titanium implants; the control group only drilled into the cortical bone. Serum assay, micro-CT, hematoxylin and eosin staining, immunoblotting, and real-time PCR were evaluated. There was no significant difference between the two groups of magnesium alloy and polymer in serum assay, but micro-CT analysis confirmed that magnesium alloy degrades faster than polymer, and histological examination showed a strong inflammatory response in the early stages, which was similarly observed in immunoblotting and real-time PCR. Our findings show that there was no toxicity due to the degradation of the biodegradable material, and the difference in each inflammatory response is thought to be determined by the rate of degradation in the body.
