组织工程人工血管支架的预构

目的：探讨具有血管平滑肌细胞（vascular smooth muscle cells,VSMCs）活性的组织工程人工血管支架的构建方法。方法：①将聚羟基乙酸（polyglycolic acid,PGA）纤维无纺网支架材料、血管平滑肌细胞和胶原纤维相混合，构建组织工程血管。②将VSMCs置入胶原凝胶中，观察VSMCs的生长状况。③观察VSMCs胶原悬液滴入该支架材料中的生长。结果：①VSMCs在胶原凝胶中的位置固定，分布于不同层次，约3－4h逐渐形成多个胞质突起。随时间推移，胞质突起继续伸展，部分细胞呈梭形、纺锤形。②VSMCs胶原悬液滴入胶原包埋处理的PGA支架中后，大部分细胞随胶原凝胶状态的形成，滞留于支架材料网孔中，细胞可沿PGA纤维表面生长。结论：胶原包埋处理的PGA纤维无纺网是良好的携带VSMCs的多孔生物降解材料。

Fabrication of a blood vessel scaffold with a combined polymer for tissue engineering

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the possibility to fabricate a blood vessel scaffold with a combined polymer for tissue engineering. METHODS: A blood vessel scaffold was designed with a combined polymer composed of rabbit vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs), collagen and a non-spinning fabric mesh of polyglycolic acid (PGA). VSMCs were implanted into collagen gel and their growth was observed. The mixed solution of VSMCs and collagen was dropped into the tubular scaffold, followed by 7-day culturing. RESULTS: VSMCs formed many prominences after culturing in gelatinous collagen for 3-4 hours. With cells extending, some cells became shuttle- or spindle-shaped. After VSMCs-collagen complex was implanted into the PGA mesh, most of VSMCs remained in the pore of PGA mesh with the formation of gelation. VSMCs could adhere to and grow on the PGA fiber. CONCLUSION: The non-spinning PGA porous biodegradable material coated with collagen is a good carrier for VSMCs to adhere and grow.
