Fabrication of Multi-layered Composite Scaffolds by Bi-directional Electrospinning Method

A multi-layered composite scaffolds consisting of poly （ L- ne） （ P （LLA-CL） ）, collagen （COL） and chitosan （CS） were fabricated by a bi-directional electrospinnlng method. Synthetic P （LLA-CL） was used as the middle layer to enhance the strength, while natural COL/CS blending （9： 1, v/v） was used as the bioactive surfaces （inner and outer layers ） to improve the biocompatibility. Each three transitional layers were set between inner/outer layer and middle layer for delamination resistance. Scanning electron microscopy （SEM） was used to observe the fiber morphology. The Fourier transform infrared attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy （FTIR-ATR） spectra, X- ray diffraction （XRD） and thermogravimetry （TG） tests were used to analyze the physical properties of the scaffolds. The results showed that the modified clectrospinning method bad no negative effect on the components, crystal structure and thermostability of the scaffolds, but could effectively combine the mechanical property of synthetic material and biocompatibility of natural materials. Such method could be applied to the fabrication of composite scaffolds for vascular, skin. and nerve tissue engineering.

胶原纤维负载金属离子材料的制备及其吸附水中氟离子的作用机制

利用胶原纤维和几种金属盐制备了胶原纤维负载金属离子(MICF)的新型除氟材料,同时对其吸附水溶液中氟离子进行比较实验.结果表明胶原纤维负载锆(Ⅲ)(ZrCF)对氟的吸附性能较好,在4.0～9.0的pH范围内其吸附效应与离子强度基本无关,常见阴离子(Cl-,NO3-,SO42-)的存在对氟的吸附也未显示出干扰效应.通过扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、表面电荷、红外光谱(IR)对ZrCF的形态、性质和吸附机制进行了表征和探讨.SEM观察到金属离子均匀分散在胶原纤维上;用固相分布法测得ZrCF的等电点升高至9.0;结合吸附前后溶液pH变化和IR表征揭示了氟离子在ZrCF上的吸附以配位交换过程为主,吸附中Zr(Ⅳ)金属氧化物表面羟基与氟离子形成配位络合物,释放出H+.     

CD133功能化肝素/胶原蛋白多层膜改性小口径膨胀体聚四氟乙烯人造血管

小口径膨胀体聚四氟乙烯(ePTFE)人造血管是血管移植手术中最常见的替代品之一,然而术后血栓的形成和血管内腔的再狭窄是导致手术失败的重要因素。采用静电层层自组装的方法构建CD133功能化肝素/胶原蛋白(HEP/COL)多层膜可以抑制血栓的形成,并且为血管的内皮化提供可能;通过扫描电镜、红外谱图跟踪HEP/COL多层膜的组装过程,利用激光共聚焦显微镜来证明抗体的接枝。结果发现,CD133功能化的HEP/COL多层膜成功地覆盖到了ePTFE人造血管表面;接触角从127°减小到106°,表明血管的浸润性得到提高;血小板吸附的实验结果表明,改性后的人造血管表面血小板吸附数量明显减少,具有良好的抗凝血性。     

Effects of gamma irradiation on dermal equivalents in vitro

Summary Dermal equivalents (DE), collagen lattices, were produced in vitro and used as a model for studying the possible role of a pure population of fibroblasts in post-radiotherapeutic dermal fibrosis. Single doses of gamma irradiation induced a partial inhibition of the collagen lattice retraction and of protein synthesis. The collagen production was less inhibited than was synthesis of non-collagen protein, which resulted in an increase of the relative amount of collagen synthesized by irradiated fibroblasts. These data suggest that gamma irradiation might be able to select some fibroblast clones able to produce increasing amounts of collagen. This selection process could be involved in the development of tissue fibrosis after therapeutic radiation.     

Calcium carbonate nanoparticles promote osteogenesis compared to adipogenesis in human bone-marrow mesenchymal stem cells

Rhombohedron-like and fusiform calcium carbonate nanoparticles were fabricated using a new method. Their geometry was controlled by varying the mixing speed and ratio of ethanol versus water in reaction system. The calcium carbonate nanoparticles(CCNPs) have slight effect on viability of human bone-marrow mesenchymal stem cells(hBMSCs) with dose-dependent and shape-dependent, but they can significantly promote osteogenic differentiation of hBMSCs in vitro by 10–37% increase of alkaline phosphatase(ALP) activity, 9–36% growth of collagen secretion and 1.13–1.83 folds upregulation of osteogenesis-related genes, even at lower dose ranges(5–20 μg/ml). The efficacity of promoting osteogenesis depends on the shape and dose of CCNPs. Furthermore,adipogenesis was inhibited by less accumulation of lipid droplets, lower triglyceride(TG) secretion and downregulation of adipogenesis-related genes. These findings improve the understanding of effects CCNPs on hBMSCs fate towards osteoblasts or adipocytes and have meaningful impact for combining use of CCNPs and hBMSCs in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine fields.

Expulsion of the placenta from the uterus is the principal initiator for collagen degradation in mouse uterus

In unilaterally pregnant mice, collagen degradation in the non-pregnant uterine horn was not initiated by removal of the fetus only but by removal of both the fetus and placenta. The results indicate that expulsion of the placenta from the uterus is a principal factor in the initiation of the process of collagen degradation simultaneously in the whole uterus.
