羟基丁酸-羟基辛酸共聚体/胶原骨软骨一体化支架修复膝关节软骨损伤

BACKGROUND: Due to the complex physiological characteristics of the osteochondral tissue, the clinical repair of knee cartilage injury often has dissatisfied outcomes. Tissue engineering methods and tools provide a new idea for osteochondral repair. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyoctanoate/collagen) osteochondral tissue-engineered scaffold on the repair of articular cartilage injury in a rabbit. METHODS: The poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyoctanoate/collagen) osteochondral tissue-engineered scaffold was prepared by solvent casting/particle leaching method. Then, seed cells were isolated and cultured on the scaffold. Twenty-four healthy New Zealand white rabbits, 4 weeks of age, were used for the study. Under balanced anesthesia, an articular cartilage defect (4.5 mm in diameter, 5 mm in depth) was created on the rabbit’s femoral condyle using a bone drill. After modeling, rabbits were randomized into three groups and given direct suture in blank group, pure scaffold implantation in control group and implantation of the scaffold-cell complex in experimental group. Femoral condyle of each rabbit was taken out for gross and histological observations at 8, 20 weeks after surgery. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At 8 weeks after surgery, transparent film-covered defects and small/irregular cells were found in the experimental group; the defects were filled with fibrous tissues in the control group; while there was no repair in the blank group. Until the 20th week, the defects were covered with hyaline cartilage-like tissues, accompanied by regular cell arrangement in the experimental group; in the control group, the defects were covered with white membranous tissues, and many chondrocytes were found at the basement and edge; in the blank group, some newborn tissues were visible at the defect region. These findings suggest that the poly (hydroxybutyrate-co- hydroxyoctanoate/collagen) osteochondral tissue-engineered scaffold carrying seed cells contributes to articular cartilage repair.

Preparation and characterization of poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid)

A series of samples of the acrylamide/acrylic acid system with various compositions was prepared by copolymerization as well as saponification, and some new results on the kinetics of both processes are given. The products were characterized by osmometry, viscometry, GPC, DTA, and elemental analysis. The results led to the conclusion that copolymerisation and saponification lead to copolymers of identical sequential distribution of the monomeric units. It was found that the intrinsic viscosity as well as the slope factor k_H · [η]² —measured in 0,5 m NaBr solution—show a maximum at intermediate comonomer composition. This finding can be interpreted by chain stiffening due to intramolecular segmental interaction.     

Preparation and properties of an injectable scaffold of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) microparticles/chitosan hydrogel

Hydrogels are more and more attractive in biomedical fields, since they can be used as injectable scaffolds, drugs and gene carriers and smart sensors. The highly hydrated hydrogels, however, generally have low mechanical strength. In this work, a composite chitosan hydrogel was prepared by blending water soluble and crosslinkable chitosan derivative (CML) with poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) particles whose surfaces were grafted with double carbon bonds containing gelatin (GM), following gelation under UV irradiation. The as-prepared composite hydrogel showed lower swelling ratio than that of the CML hydrogel, and higher elastic stiffness (i.e. storage modulus) than that of the CML hydrogel and the hydrogel filled with the same amount of PLGA particles or gelatin modified PLGA particles. Moreover, the storage modulus of the composite hydrogel was increased with the amount of GM modified PLGA particles. In vitro chondrocyte culture revealed that viability of the cells co-cultured with the GM modified PLGA particles was higher than that of the cells co-cultured with the unmodified PLGA particles. The composite hydrogel blended with the GM modified PLGA particles also showed higher cytoviability than that of the original CML hydrogel after 9d culture.     

Preparation and characterization of a porous scaffold based on poly(D,L-lactide) and N-hydroxyapatite by phase separation

In this study, a series of porous scaffolds were prepared from poly(D,L-lactide) (PLA) and nanohydroxyapatite (HA) using the phase separation method. HA/PLA composite membranes and PLA membranes with a microporous structure (pore size around 10-20 μm) were observed by scanning electron microscopy and these micropores were well distributed throughout the PLA membranes. The surface morphology of HA/PLA composite membranes was significantly improved compared to pure PLA membrane. Also, the mechanical property and contact angle of composite membranes were different from that of pure PLA films. The immortalized rat osteoblastic ROS 17/2.8 cell line was used in this research to study the cell adhesion and proliferation behavior, and the results indicated that composite membranes had great cell affinity and good biocompatibility.     

聚乙烯醇/丙烯酰胺接枝共聚物水凝胶的制备及表征

背景：交联水凝胶主要是使大分子链形成网状结构,网固交联基质,这样所得的水凝胶力学性能和透明性相对较差。 目的：采用自由基聚合机制制备聚乙烯醇/丙烯酰胺接枝共聚物水凝胶。 方法：以聚乙烯醇分子作为主链,聚乙烯醇分子中羟基为接枝点,共价接入丙烯酰胺单体。考察反应温度、时间、单体用量和引发剂用量对产物接枝率的影响,通过红外光谱表征聚乙烯醇/丙烯酰胺接枝共聚物共聚物的化学结构。 结果与结论：接枝聚合反应最佳反应条件：引发剂浓度0.04 mol/L、丙烯酰胺/聚乙烯醇(侧羟基)摩尔比6∶1、在40 ℃条件下反应4 h。经过FTIR分析,确认丙烯酰胺与聚乙烯醇发生了聚合反应;经过平衡溶胀测试,分析了接枝聚合物与聚乙烯醇的溶胀率随温度的变化关系,进一步证实了接枝聚合反应的发生,验证了接枝聚乙烯醇/丙烯酰胺接枝共聚物具有明显的温敏性能。      

Preparation and characterization of poly(methyl-3,3,3-trifluoropropylsiloxane-co-dimethylsiloxane)

Methyl-3,3,3-trifluoropropylsiloxane (F)-dimethylsiloxane (D) random and block copolymers were prepared. The random copolymers were prepared by equilibrium copolymerization starting from a mixture of cyclic F and D siloxanes with potassium silanolate as the catalyst. The F-D block copolymer was prepared by sequential anionic living polymerization of strained cyclic trisiloxanes using butyllithium as initiator, first polymerizing D₃ then adding F₃ after consumption of D₃. The copolymer microstructure was established by means of ²⁹Si NMR, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and gel-permeation chromatography (GPC). Characteristic glass transition temperature (T_g) shifts were observed depending on the F:D ratio of the random copolymers. It was demonstrated that the tensile strength of the poly(methyl-3,3,3-trifluoropropylsiloxane)-poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PTFPMS-PDMS) blend system was improved when either of the copolymers was added.     

A thermosensitive poly(organophosphazene) hydrogel for injectable tissue-engineering applications

A poly(organophosphazene) hydrogel has been synthesized which exhibits thermoreversible sol-gel transition behavior against temperature. Viscometric measurements indicated that a thermosensitive hydrogel exhibiting excellent strength could be formed at body temperature from the polymer solutions, at concentrations of 10 wt%. In this study, we have conducted an evaluation of this poly(organophosphazene) hydrogel with regard to its efficacy and suitability as an injectable tissue-engineering matrix within an in vivo system. A 10 wt% solution of poly(organophosphazene) containing MC3T3-E1 mouse preosteoblasts and collagen was injected subcutaneously into nude mice, thereby forming an in situ gelation-injected site. In order to determine the optimal conditions for subcutaneous injection, various cell numbers and collagen concentrations were tested in this nude mouse model. Cellular proliferation was found to depend on the collagen concentration employed (0.001-0.1 wt%), as well as the number of cells ((2-10) x 10(5)). Cellular proliferation increased gradually after injection into nude mouse (1, 3, 5 and 7 days) at the given collagen concentration (0.01 wt%). The proliferative characteristics of MC3T3-E1 cells were shown to be enhanced dramatically in the poly(organophosphazene)-based collagen containing construct when injected into the model nude mice, whereas no increases in proliferation were observed in the only poly(organophosphazene) gel lacking collagen.
