三维打印技术在骨组织工程领域的应用研究进展

综述了三维(3D)打印技术的出现、分类与优势等.介绍了该技术在骨组织工程领域的应用,包括光固化立体印刷、熔融沉积成型、选择性激光烧结和3D喷印的工作原理、存在的优缺点以及国内外学者在该领域的研究进展.目前骨组织工程支架的制备大多应用了3D打印技术,以生物可降解的活性材料为原料制备而成.在我国该领域虽然发展迅速,利用3D打印技术进行人工骨合成、骨科术前模拟等已经越来越普遍,亦取得了令人满意的效果,但要研发出合适的生物材料以及设备精度的改进仍是亟待解决的问题.目前,仿生器官的功能化已成为3D打印技术领域的一大困难,其中多细胞共培养、血管化及支架的制备是实现功能化必须克服的问题,相信通过努力,该项技术将会为器官的再生与修复带来更多令人瞩目的成果.

Application and prospect of three-dimensional printing in bone tissue engineering

In this paper,the classification,application and advantages of three-dimensional (3D) printing in biomedical engineering are summarized.The working principles of 3D printing,stereolithography,fused deposition modeling,selective laser sintering and 3D spray printing,as well as merits,demerits and recent progress are reviewed.The 3D printing has been widely used in the synthetic of bone tissue engineering scaffolds,with biodegradable and bioactive materials in the scaffold.Synthetic bone materials and surgical simulation by 3D printing technology are increasingly common and has achieved satisfactory results in China.Although 3D printing technology has developed rapidly,development of suitable biomaterials and improving relevant techniques are still urgent issues.Up to now,the functionalization of bionic organs is the most difficult issue,in which the cell co-culture,vascularization and preparation of the scaffolds are problem to be solved.The 3D printing technology will make remarkable achievements for the regeneration and repair of human organ through our efforts.
