Abstract
Using nerve guide conduits (NGCs) to promote the regeneration of PNI is a feasible alternative to autograft. Compared with NGCs made of single material, composite NGCs have a greater development prospect. Our previous research has confirmed that poly(D, L-lactic acid)/β-tricalcium phosphate/hyaluronic acid/chitosan/nerve growth factor (PDLLA/β-TCP/HA/CHS/NGF) NGCs have excellent physical and chemical properties, which can slowly release NGF and support cell adhesion and proliferation. In this study, PDLLA/β-TCP/HA/CHS/NGF NGCs were prepared and used to bridge a 10 mm sciatic nerve defect in 200-250 g Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat to verify the performance of the NGCs in vivo. Substantial improvements in nerve regeneration were observed after using the PDLLA/β-TCP/HA/CHS/NGF NGCs based on gross post-operation observation, triceps wet weight analysis and nerve histological assessment. In vivo studies illustrate that the PDLLA/β-TCP/HA/CHS/NGF sustained-release NGCs can effectively promote peripheral nerve regeneration, and the effect is similar to that of autograft.
利用神经引导导管(NGCs)促进PNI再生是一种可行的替代自体移植物的方法。与单一材料制成的NGCs相比,复合NGCs具有更大的发展前景。我们前期研究证实,聚(D, l -乳酸)/β-磷酸三钙/透明质酸/壳聚糖/神经生长因子(PDLLA/β-TCP/HA/CHS/NGF) NGCs具有优异的理化性能,能缓慢释放NGF,支持细胞粘附和增殖。本研究制备了PDLLA/β-TCP/HA/CHS/NGF NGCs,并将其用于200-250 g SD大鼠10 mm坐骨神经缺损的桥接,验证其在体内的性能。术后大体观察、三头肌湿重分析和神经组织学评估显示,使用PDLLA/β-TCP/HA/CHS/NGF NGCs后,神经再生明显改善。体内研究表明,PDLLA/β-TCP/HA/CHS/NGF缓释NGCs能有效促进周围神经再生,其作用与自体移植物相似。
