  • Experimental Study of Influence of CO2 Pneumoperitoneum on Intestinal Mucosa Permeability in Rats with Liver Cirrhosis

    【Abstract】ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of CO2 pneumoperitoneum on intestinal mucosa permeability in rats with liver cirrhosis. MethodsFifty rats were randomly divided into following groups: control group (n=5), cirrhosis group(n=5) and pneumoperitoneum group (n=40); the pneumoperitoneum group was further divided into 8 mm Hg group(n=20) and 13 mm Hg group (n=20). Four time points were chosen, including 0.5, 2, 6, and 12 hours after the end of pneumoperitoneum. After rat models with cirrhosis were established successfully, the abdominal cavity was insufflated with CO2 and maintained under the pressures of 8 mm Hg and 13 mm Hg respectively for two hours. The portal venous blood was collected and the levels of Dlactic acid and endotoxin were measured. ResultsThe levels of endotoxin and Dlactic acid in cirrhosis group were much higher than those of control group(P<0.05). The levels of serum endotoxin and Dlactic acid in pneumoperitoneum group were higher than those of cirrhosis group(Plt;0.05) regardless of pressure and time point. The endotoxin level in 13 mm Hg group was higher than that of 8 mm Hg group on different time points (F=5.466, P<0.05), but there was no difference in Dlactic acid level between both of them(F=0.415,Pgt;0.05).ConclusionThe intestinal mucosa permeability is increased in rats with liver cirrhosis. It can be further increased under CO2 pneumoperitoneum with certain pressure and time and in a pressuredependent manner. The permeability can decrease after removal of pneumoperitoneum.

    Objective To prepare collagen-chitosan /nano-hydroxyapatite-collagen-polylactic acid (Col-CS/ nHAC-PLA) biomimetic scaffold and to examine its biocompatibility so as to lay the foundation for its application on the treatment of osteochondral defect. Methods PLA was dissolved in dioxane for getting final concentration of 8%, and the nHAC power was added at a weight ratio of nHAC to PLA, 1 ∶ 1. The solution was poured into a mold and frozen. CS and Col were dissolved in 2% acetum for getting the final concentrations of 2% and 1% respectively, then compounded at a weight ratio of CS to Col, 20 ∶ 1. The solution was poured into the frozen mold containing nHAC-PLA, and then biomimetic osteochondral scaffold of Col-CS/nHAC-PLA was prepared by freeze-drying. Acute systemic toxicity test, intracutaneous stimulation test, pyrogen test, hemolysis test, cytotoxicity test, and bone implant test were performed to evaluate its biocompatibility. Results Col-CS/nHAC-PLA had no acute systemic toxicity. Primary irritation index was 0, indicating that Col-CS/nHAC-PLA had very slight skin irritation. In pyrogen test, the increasing temperature of each rabbit was less than 0.6℃, and the increasing temperature sum of 3 rabbits was less than 1.3℃, which was consistent with the evaluation criteria. Hemolytic rate of Col-CS/nHAC-PLA was 1.38% (far less than 5%). The toxicity grade of Col-CS/nHAC-PLA was classified as grade I. Bone implant test showed that Col-CS/nHAC-PLA had good biocompatibility with the surrounding tissue. Conclusion Col-CS/ nHAC-PLA scaffold has good biocompatibility, which can be used as an alternative osteochondral scaffold.

    【Abstract】 Objective To investigate the manufacture and biocompatibil ity of a bioabsorbable poly-D,L-lactic acid(PDLLA) plate containing rhBMP-2. Methods rhBMP-2 was composited with PDLLA (0.05 mg/plate) through vacuum to repare PDLLA plate containing rhBMP-2. Thirty-two New Zealand rabbits (male or female) weighted (3.0 ± 0.5) kg were used in he study. A 2.5 mm middle ulna osteotomy was made bilaterally. The bones as well as periosteum were removed. The right side of all the animals was experimental side (n=32), was fixed internally by PDLLA plate containing rhBMP-2.The left side of all the animals was control side (n=32), was fixed by common PDLLA plate. After a follow-up of 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks, the ulnas were examined visually, radiographically, histologically, and by computer graph analysis to compare the biocompatibil ity. Re sults Po rosity of PDLLA plate containing rhBMP-2 was 90%, aperture was 150 μm, tensile strength was higher than 50 MPa, three point flexural strength was higher than 90 MPa and intrinsic viscosity was 1.6 dL/g (chloroform solvent). All animals had a good heal ing 1 or 2 weeks after operation. All the animal’s diet and movement were normal. All the fractures were stable. The plates in the experimental group degraded faster than those in the control group. Relative values of callus density evaluated by X-ray at 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks after operation in the experimental group were 39.22 ± 2.48, 48.79 ± 1.26, 63.78 ± 1.78 and 78.60 ± 1.25 respectively. Those in the control defects were 33.83 ± 1.13, 41.28 ± 1.25, 55.23 ± 0.68 and 66.54 ± 1.33. At each time point, the experimental side produced better and more trabeculae than the control side did (P < 0.01). Histological examination showed that the newbone formation in the experimental side at 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks after operation was 0.106% ± 0.015%, 0.292% ± 0.019%, 0.457% ± 0.048% and 0.601% ± 0.037%, while those in the control side was 0, 0.193% ± 0.019%, 0.339% ± 0.029% and 0.574% ± 0.047%respectively.

    Objective To investigate the effect of tissue engineering bone compounded in vitro by nanohydroxyapatite/collagen/ polylactic acid (nHAC/PLA) and recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) in repairing rabbit critical calvarial defects. Methods Forty eight New Zealand rabbits, weighting 2.0-2.5 kg, were made the models of critical cranial defects(15 mm in diameter) and divided into 4 groups randomly. Defects were repaired with autoflank bone in the positive control group; with no implant in the blank control group; with nHAC/PLA in the negative control; and with active nHAC/PLA(AnHAC/PLA) in the experimental group(the average quality of each AnHAC/PLA absorbed rhBMP-2 was 1.431 mg). The reapir results were observed through X-ray,HE dyeing and Masson’s trichrism dyeing after 8 and 16 weeks. Results The difference of bone formation was observed by X-ray block degree of skull defect area at 8 and 16 weeks. In the 8 th week and 16 th week, the radiopacities on cranial defect were 67.21%±2.06% and 86.48%±1.73% in the positive control group; 5.84%±1.92% and 9.48%±2.72% in the blank control group; 19.13%±2.51% and 35.67%±3.28% in the negative control group; and 58.84%±2.55% and 8561%±3.36% in the experimental group. There were significant differences between the negative control and the positive control group, and between the experimental group and the positive control group at 8 weeks(Plt;0.05) . There were significant differences between the negative control and blank group, and between the experiment and the blank group at 8 and 16 weeks(P<0.05). The histology observation showed that the width of bone trabecula at 16 weeks was more than that at 8 weeks and bone defectwas full of bone tissue in positive control group. The bone defect was full of fibrous tissue at 8 and 16 weeks, and there was no new bone in the blank group. The bone defect was full of remnant material and fibrous tissue in the negative control group. The implanted area was replaced by the new bone at 8 weeks and the new bone was lamellar at 16 weeks in the experimental group; the residual material was less in defect area and there were more osteoblasts surrounding. Conclusion The nHAC/PLA is a good scaffoldmaterial of rhBMP-2 and AnHAC/PLA has agood ability in repairing bone defect. So it is hopeful to be applied in the clnical repair of large bone defect.

    Objective To fabricate a novel porous bioactivecomposite biomaterial consisting of poly lactic acid (PLA)bone matrix gelatin(BMG) by using the supercritical carbon dioxide fluid technique (SC-CO2) and to evaluate its osteoinductive activity. Methods The cortical bones selected from healthy adult donors were processed into BMG by the defatting, demineralizing, and deproteinizing processes. PLA and BMG were mixed at a volume radio of 3∶1; then, the PLA-BMG mixed material and the pure PLA material were respectively placed in the supercritical carbon dioxide reaction kettles, and were respectively added by the NaCl particles 100200 μm in diameter for theporosity of the materials so that the porous PLA-BMG composite material and the porous PLA composite material could be formed. The mouse osteoblastlike MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured in the dulbecco’s modified eagle medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. Then, 20 μl of the MC3T3E1 cell suspensions containing 2 ×106 cells /ml were delivered into the culturing plate (24 wells/plate) made of the different materials, which were co-cultured for 2 weeks. In the PLA-BMG group, 100 μg of the crushed PLA-BMG material was contained in each well; in the PLA group, 100 μg of the crushed PLA material was containedin each well; and in the DMEM group, only DMEM was contained, which served as the control group. There were 6 wells in each group. The quantitative analysis onthe calcification area was performed by the staining of the alizarin red S. Theco-cultured cells were harvested and lysated in 1 ml of 0.2% Nonidet P-40 by the ultrasonic lysating technique. Then, the ALP activity and the Ca content were measured according to the illuminations of the reagent kits. Results The porous PLABMG composite material showed a good homological porosity with a pore diameter of 50-150 μm and a good connectivity between the pores. The ALP activity, the Ca content, and the calcification area were significantly greater in the PLABMG group than in the PLA group and the control group (325.59±70.40 U/gprot, 3.51±1.64 mmol/gprot, 42.98±4.44% vs. 63.62±30.01 U/gprot, 1.04±0.21 mmol/gprot, 9.55±1.94%, and 2.40±1.47 U/gprot, 0.70±0.24 mmol/gprot, 0.86±0.41%; Plt;0.05). Meanwhile, there was a statistically significant difference between the PLA group and the control group in the ALP activity and the calcification area (Plt;0.05). Conclusion The porous PLABMG composite material prepared by the use of SC-CO2 has a good steoinductive activity and can be used as a promising bone biomaterial and a bone tissue engineered scaffold.

    Objective To investigate the effect of homograft of marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) seeded onto poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)/gelatin on repair of articular cartilage defects. Methods The MSCs derived from36 Qingzilan rabbits, aging 4 to 6 months and weighed 2.5-3.5 kg were cultured in vitroand seeded onto PLLA/gelatin. The MSCs/ PLLA/gelatin composite was cultured and transplanted into full thickness defects on intercondylar fossa. Thirty-six healthy Qingzilan rabbits were made models of cartilage defects in the intercondylar fossa. These rabbits were divided into 3 groups according to the repair materials with 12 in each group: group A, MSCs and PLLA/gelatin complex(MSCs/ PLLA/gelatin); group B, only PLLA/gelatin; and group C, nothing. At 4,8 and 12 weeks after operation, the gross, histological and immunohistochemical observations were made, and grading scales were evaluated. Results At 12 weeks after transplantation, defect was repaired and the structures of the cartilage surface and normal cartilage was in integrity. The defects in group A were repaired by the hylinelike tissue and defects in groups B and C were repaired by the fibrous tissues. Immunohistochemical staining showed that cells in the zones of repaired tissues were larger in size, arranged columnedly, riched in collagen Ⅱ matrix and integrated satisfactorily with native adjacent cartilages and subchondral bones in group A at 12 weeks postoperatively. In gross score, group A(2.75±0.89) was significantly better than group B (4.88±1.25) and group C (7.38±1.18) 12 weeks afteroperation, showing significant differences (P<0.05); in histological score, group A (3.88±1.36) was better than group B (8.38±1.06) and group C (13.13±1.96), and group B was better than group C, showing significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells seeded onto PLLA/gelatin is a promising way for the treatment of cartilage defects.

  • MORPHOLOGIC RESEARCH ON PDLLA/NGF-CONTROLLED RELEASE CONDUIT PROMOTING PERIPHERAL NERVE REGENERATION

    Objective To establish an animal model for repairing the sciatic nerve defect with a biodegradable poly D,L-lactic acid/nerve growth factor (PDLLA/NGF) that can control the release conduit in rats and to observe an effect of the conduit on the sciatic nerve regeneration. Methods The PDLLA conduit and the PDLLA/NGF-controlled release conduit (NGF 450 U per conduit) were madewith the solvent-volatilixation method. Forty male SD rats were randomly and equally divided into 4 groups. The middle segments (10 mm) of the sciatic nerves of the rats were excised and were then repaired with the sciatic nerve autograft(Group A), with the PDLLA conduit (Group B), with the PDLLA conduit and an injection of NGF (30 U) into the conduit (Group C), and with the PDLLA/NGF controlled-release conduit (Group D), respectively, with the 10-mm nerve defect left behind. Three months after operation, the morphologic parameters of the nerve regeneration were observed and evaluated under light microscope and electron microscope, and the image analysis was also made. Results Three months after operation, porous adherence between the conduit and the surrounding tissues could be observed. The conduit presented a partial biodegradation but still remainedintact in the outline and the proximal nerve regenerated through the conduit cavity. Based on the histological observation, the quantity, uniformity, and maturity of the nerve fiber regeneration in Groups A and D were better than those in Groups B and C. The image analysis indicated that there were no significant differences in the nerve fiber diameter, axon diameter or myelin thickness between Group A and Group D (P>0.05). However, all the parameters in Groups A and D were better than those in Groups B and C (P<0.05). Conclusion The PDLLA/NGF-controlled release conduit can effectively promote the sciatic nerve regeneration of rats. Its morphological index is similar to that of the nerve autograft. 
