【 摘 要 】

Periodontal disease is a complex problem which often interrelates with several serious systemic diseases. However, the satisfactory clinical therapy has yet to be achieved. Herein, serum albumin microspheres containing minocycline and zinc oxide nanoparticals (ZnO NPs) were prepared and incorporated in a Carbopol 940® hydrogel. Compared with 2% minocycline ointment (Perio®), the hydrogel has shown obvious therapy effects and the ability of gingival tissue self-repairing. The serum albumin microspheres containing 0.06% of minocycline and 0.025% of ZnO NPs presented an average size of 139 ± 0.42 nm using electrophoretic light scattering (n = 3). Photomicrographs obtained by TEM showed homogeneous and spherical-shaped particles. The encapsulation efficiency was 99.99% for minocycline and the slow-release time was more than 72 h with pH-sensitive property. The in vitro skin adhesion experiment showed that the largest bioadhesive force is 0.35 N. Moreover, the hydrogel showed broad-spectrum antimicrobial and effective antibacterial ability when concentration of the ZnO NPs was over 0.2 µg/mL. The cell survival rates were more than 85% below 0.8 mg/L of ZnO NPs, which proved its low toxicity and high security.
