Modeling of the Crystallization of Calcium Phosphates from a Prototype of Human Blood Plasma
摘要
Crystallization in solutions modeling the composition of human blood plasma has been studied as a function of the synthesis time and the solution supersaturation. XRD and IR spectroscopy demonstrate that the crystallized solid phases consist of carbonate hydroxyapatite. Nonstoichiometric water-containing carbonate hydroxyapatite with a small amount of chlorine, the composition of which coincides with human calcificate, forms during syntheses from a model human blood plasma solution. The generalized crystal formula of the synthesized samples is as follows: [Ca7.66–8.61Na0.59–1.24K0.11–0.34Mg0.08–0.31Vac0.01–0.99]10[(PO4, HPO4)5.27–5.68(CO3)0.32–0.73]6[(H2O,OH, Vac)1.11–1.61Cl0.39–0.89]2. The carbonate ion content is shown to increase from 2.03–1.72 to 5.54–3.56 wt % at a supersaturation of 50 or 100 and an increase in the experiment time from 2 weeks to 10. An increase in the experiment time to 12 weeks leads to a decrease in the carbonate ion content, and the maximum carbonate ion content (5.54 wt %) corresponds to the hydroxyapatite synthesized at a supersaturation of 50 and an experiment time of 10 weeks. The effect of the Verapamil drug on the resorption rate of the synthesized samples is found to be 2 times higher in a 0.9% NaCl solution and Tris buffer. Optical microscopy results obtained for the vascular Vitaflon implant detect intense calcium phosphates deposits covering an area of about 32.5%.
