超临界CO_2发泡法制备PLGA多孔组织工程支架

利用超临界CO2(SC-CO2)发泡法制备了一系列聚(乳酸-乙醇酸)共聚物(PLGA)多孔支架材料,研究了PLGA分子量和组成、发泡过程温度、压力以及泄压速率等对泡孔尺寸及形态的影响.结果表明,随着PLGA组成中乳酸含量的增加,泡孔平均孔径增大且连通性增强;提高过程压力易形成孔径小且泡孔密度大的微孔结构材料;降低泄压速率,泡孔易合并形成大孔.聚合物处于高弹态时,较低的发泡温度易导致特殊的多面体结构大孔的形成;而当温度较高时,泡孔塌缩形成球形微孔结构,且泡孔尺寸随着温度升高而增大.SC-CO2发泡法能有效地去除有机溶剂,避免在高温条件下操作,可以实现5～500μm范围内孔径可控的PLGA多孔支架材料的制备.

Porous scaffolds based on cross-linking of poly(L-glutamic acid)

Porous scaffolds based on water-soluble PLGA and CS were prepared. The pores were verified to be alveolate, uniform and continuous. The effects of freezing temperature, freeze-drying time, solid content and molecular weight of reactants on the pore structure of the scaffolds were studied. The scaffold morphology could be adjusted by changing the freezing temperature and solid content of reacting polymer. Their degradation rate can be adjusted by changing the proportion of PLGA and CS. The porosity of scaffolds was higher than 90% and the high swelling ratio showed that these scaffolds had excellent hydrophilic performance. The in vitro culture of chondrocytes indicates that the obtained PLGA/CS porous scaffolds are very promising biomaterials for tissue engineering applications.     

The comparison of physic-chemical properties of chitosan/collagen/hyaluronic acid composites with nano-hydroxyapatite cross-linked by dialdehyde starch and tannic acid

Scaffolds based on chitosan, collagen and hyaluronic acid, cross-linked by dialdehyde starch with hydroxyapatite were obtained with the use of the freeze-drying method. Scaffolds were cross-linked by tannic acid or dialdehyde starch addition. Composites were characterized by different analyses, e.g. SEM images, porosity, density, liquid uptake, and mechanical tests. In addition, the adhesion and proliferation of human osteosarcoma SaOS-2 cells were examined on the obtained scaffolds.The results showed that the properties of the scaffolds based on chitosan, collagen, and hyaluronic acid can be modified by cross-linkers addition. The compressive modulus for the scaffolds cross-linked by dialdehyde starch was higher than for those cross-linked by tannic acid. The porosity of scaffolds cross-linked by starch was higher than those in which tannic acid was applied. However, the former presented lower density. SEM images showed the homogeneous scaffold structure with interconnected pores. Scaffolds cross-linked by tannic acid exhibited higher biocompatibility than those cross-linked by dialdehyde starch. However, the results showed that both scaffolds, cross-linked by dialdehyde starch and by tannic acid can provide the support required in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The scaffolds presented here may be easily operated to fit such small bone defects without causing adverse reactions.     

Collagen-based scaffolds enriched with glycosaminoglycans isolated from skin of Salmo salar fish

In this study both collagen and glycosaminoglycans were isolated from biodegradable waste. Namely collagen was isolated from rat tail tendons and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) from fish skin. Porous materials were then obtained based on the isolated collagen with 1 or 5% addition of GAGs by freeze-drying process. The scaffolds were studied by infrared spectroscopy, mechanical testing and examined for the porosity and density. The scaffolds structure was observed by scanning electron microscope. The adhesion and proliferation of human osteosarcoma SaOS-2 cells was examined on prepared scaffolds to assess their biocompability.The results showed that the addition of glycosaminoglycans improves the properties of collagen-based scaffolds. Mechanical strength was increased by GAGs addition as well as the porosity of studied materials. Each scaffold with and without GAGs displayed porous structure with interconnected regular shaped pores. The attachment of cells was better for pure collagen scaffold, however, GAGs additive promoted the cells proliferation on the scaffold.     

Controllable synthesis and characterization of porous polyvinyl alcohol/hydroxyapatite nanocomposite scaffolds via an in situ colloidal technique

During the last decades, there have been several attempts to combine bioactive materials with biocompatible and biodegradable polymers to create nanocomposite scaffolds with excellent biocompatibility, bioactivity, biodegradability and mechanical properties. In this research, the nanocomposite scaffolds with compositions based on PVA and HAp nanoparticles were successfully prepared using colloidal HAp nanoparticles combined with freeze-drying technique for tissue engineering applications. In addition, the effect of the pH value of the reactive solution and different percentages of PVA and HAp on the synthesis of PVA/HAp nanocomposites were investigated. The SEM observations revealed that the prepared scaffolds were porous with three dimensional microstructures, and in vitro experiments with osteoblast cells indicated an appropriate penetration of the cells into the scaffold's pores, and also the continuous increase in cell aggregation on the scaffolds with increase in the incubation time demonstrated the ability of the scaffolds to support cell growth. According to the obtained results, the nanocomposite scaffolds could be considered as highly bioactive and potential bone tissue engineering implants.

Polyester scaffolds with bimodal pore size distribution for tissue engineering

This paper presents a method for the preparation of porous poly(L-lactide)/poly[(L-lactide)-co-glycolide] scaffolds for tissue engineering. Scaffolds were prepared by a mold pressing-salt leaching technique from structured microparticles. The total porosity was in the range 70-85%. The pore size distribution was bimodal. Large pores, susceptible for osteoblasts growth and proliferation had the dimensions 50-400 microm. Small pores, dedicated to the diffusion of nutrients or/and metabolites of bone forming cells, as well as the products of hydrolysis of polyesters from the walls of the scaffold, had sizes in the range 2 nm-5 microm. The scaffolds had good mechanical strength (compressive modulus equal to 41 MPa and a strength of 1.64 MPa for 74% porosity). Scaffolds were tested in vitro with human osteoblast-like cells (MG-63). It was found that the viability of cells seeded within the scaffolds obtained using the mold pressing-salt leaching technique from structured microparticles was better when compared to cells cultured in scaffolds obtained by traditional methods. After 34 d of culture, cells within the tested scaffolds were organized in a tissue-like structure. Photos of section of macro- and mesoporous PLLA/PLGA scaffold containing 50 wt.-% of PLGA microspheres after 34 d of culture. Dark spots mark MG-63 cells, white areas belong to the scaffold. The specimen was stained with haematoxylin/eosin. Bar = 100 microm.     

Original method of imprinting pores in scaffolds for tissue engineering

Results of the preparation of biodegradable porous scaffolds using an original modification of a wet phase inversion method were presented. Influence of gelatin non‐woven as a non‐classic pore precursor and polyvinylpyrrolidone, Pluronic as classic pore precursors on the structure of obtained scaffolds was analyzed. It was shown that the addition of gelatin non‐wovens enables the preparation of scaffolds, which allow for the growth of cells (size, distribution, and shape of pores). Mechanical properties of the obtained cell scaffolds were determined. The influence of pore precursors on mass absorption of scaffolds against isopropanol and plasma was investigated. Interaction of scaffolds with a T‐lymphocyte line (Jurkat) and with fibroblasts (L929) was investigated. Obtained scaffolds are not cytotoxic and can be used as implants, for example, the regeneration of cartilage tissue.     

Morphological,mechanical, and in vitro cytocompatibility analysis of poly(vinyl alcohol)–silica glass hybrid scaffolds reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals

Cellulose nanocrystal-reinforced poly(vinyl alcohol)/silica glass hybrid scaffolds were fabricated using the freeze-drying method. In this study, we develop molecular-level-based hybrid scaffolds with possible bioactivity behavior by adding silica sol–gel. The results showed a highly porous structure and a significant improvement in mechanical performance (stiffness) of hybrid scaffolds with an increased content of cellulose nanocrystals followed by the addition of silica-based bioactive glass. In vitro cell study with MC3T3-E1 cells on hybrid scaffolds for 1 and 3 days revealed good cell adhesion and growth. Thus, the obtained hybrid scaffold may be a competitive candidate for bone tissue engineering applications.     

Porous-conductive chitosan scaffolds for tissue engineering, 1. Preparation and characterization

Novel porous-conductive chitosan scaffolds were fabricated by incorporating conductive polypyrrole (PPy) particles into a chitosan matrix and employing a phase separation technique to build pores inside the scaffolds. Conductive polypyrrole particles were prepared with a microemulsion method using FeCl3 as a dopant. The preparation conditions were optimized to obtain scaffolds with controlled pore size and porosity. The conductivity of the scaffolds was investigated using a standard four-point probe technique. It was found that several kinds of scaffolds showed a conductivity close to 10(-3) S.cm(-1) with a low polypyrrole loading of around 2 wt.-%. The main mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, breaking elongation and Young's modulus of the scaffolds, were examined both in the dry and in the hydrated states. The results indicated that a few different kinds of scaffolds exhibited the desired mechanical strength for some tissue engineering applications. The miscibility of polypyrrole and chitosan was also evaluated using a dynamic mechanical method. The presence of significant phase separation was detected in non-porous PPy/chitosan scaffolds but enhanced miscibility in porous PPy/chitosan scaffolds was observed.
