  • RESEARCH ON BIOCOMPATIBILITY AND IN VIVO DEGRADATION OF BIODEGRADABLE CHEST WALLPROSTHESIS MATERIALS IN EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS

    Objective To evaluate the biocompatibility and in vivo degradation of novel chest wall prosthesis materials and provide some data for their clinical application. MethodsAccording to the standard for the biological evaluation of the medical devices, several tests were performed to evaluate the tissue toxic effects induced by polydioxanone (Group A), chitosan (Group B), and hydroxyapitite/collagen (Group C),which were tested as component materials of the chest wall prosthesis. In the hemolysis test, 0.2 ml of the anticoagulant rabbit blood was added to the component materials and the normal saline (negative control) and to the distilled water(positive control). Five samples were made in each group. Absorbency was measured and the hemolysis rate was determined. In the acute systemic toxicity test, 20 mice were randomly divided into 4 groups (Groups A, B and C, and the normal saline group, n=5). The leaching liquid (50 ml/kg) was injected through the caudal vein, which was observed at 24, 48 and 72 hours. In the pyrogen test, 12 rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups (Groups A, B, C and the normal saline group, n=3) the leaching liquid(10 ml/kg) was injected through the ear vein,and the body temperature was recorded within 3 hours. In the in vivo degradable test, the component materials (10 mm×10 mm) were implanted in 12 rabbits at 2, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 24 weeks, respectively, after operation. Two rabbitswere sacrificed for the macroscopic and the microscopic examinations. Results The chest wall component materials had no hemolytic reaction, no acute systemic toxicity, and no pyrogen reaction. The results demonstrated that the implanted materials had only a mild inflammatory reaction during the early days of the grafting, which subsided gradually. There was no tissue denaturation, necrosis or pathological hyperplasia when the prosthesis materials were degraded. Conclusion The degradable materials of the chest wall prosthesis have a good biocompatibility and agreat biological safety though their surgical application still requires a further clinical research.

  • BIOCOMPATIBILITY OF ACELLULAR URINARY BLADDER SUBMUCOSA

    Objective To investigate the biocompatibility of acellular urinary bladder submucosa (AUBS). Methods The acellular collagen matrix of human urinary bladder submucosa was developed using freeze-thawed enzymatic treatment and freeze-drying technique. Human oral keratinocytes were cultured and seeded on AUBS at a density of 2×106/ml in vitro.The proliferation of the cells were observed. Pockets were created in the abdominal muscle wall of 18 SD rats. AUBS in size 1 cm×1 cm was implanted into the pocket. The grafts were observed by light microscope 3, 6, 10, 14, 21 and 28 days after operation. Results AUBSmainly consisted of collagen fibers with a three-dimensional network structure. After the oral keratinocytes were seeded, continous oral epithelium layer was formed on the surface of AUBS after 10 days in vitro. Histological observation of the grafted AUBS showed progressive cell infiltration at 6 days. New capillaries formed at 14 days. The collagen fibers arranged regularly at 28 days after implantation. Conclusion Freeze-dried AUBS may be used as a suitable scaffold for tissue regeneration, which can induce cell proliferation both in vivo and in vitro and has good biocompatibilty.

  • INFLUENCE OF DOSAGE ON CELL BIOCOMPATIBILITY OF HYDROXYAPATITE/TRICALCIUM PHOSPHATE

    Objective To investigate the influence of different dose levels of hydroxyapatite/tricalcium phosphate (HA/TCP) on the proliferation and alkalinephosphatase (ALP) activity of rabbit osteoblasts. Methods Three different doselevels of HA/TCP (10%, 40%, 70%) were co-cultivated with rabbit osteoblasts respectively. The proliferation and ALP expression capacity of osteoblasts were examined with MTT method and enzyme histochemistry once every 24 hours until 5 days. Three control groups of other materials were treated and examined in the sameway: rabbit osteoblasts as normal control; polyvinylchloride as positive control; titanium alloy as negative control. Results There was remarkable timeeffect relationship in the proliferation of osteoblasts. Ten percent HA/TCP did not affect osteoblasts growth while 40% HA/TCP could slow the cell growth rate down though time-effect relationship still existed. The proliferation of osteoblasts stagnated when co-cultivated with 70% HA/TCP. On the other hand, 10% HA/TCP could cause reversible damage on ALP activity of osteoblasts, whereas when the dose was40%, and the cultivation lasted 6 days the damage was irreversible. Three different dose levels of titanium alloy (10%, 40%, 70%) had no effect on the proliferation or ALP activity of osteoblasts. Conclusion Dosage is an important factor affecting the biocompatibility evaluation of biomaterial. It suggests that dose choosing should be more specified upon each individual biomaterial. It also indicates that ALP may be a good supplementary index of the cell compatibility of material.
