Experimental study of the biologic compatibility of the membrane of biologic conduit made of chitin and Schwann cells / 中华显微外科杂志

Objective Study the biologic compatibility of the membrane of biologic conduit made of chitin and Schwann cells in vitro Methods Cultured Schwann cells with the membrane,then observed their attachment,spread and growth Results Around the membrane,the shape,amounts and growth of Schwann cells in the experimental groups were same with the control group.Schwann cells can lived on the membrane,and their amounts were larger on the membrane precoated with collagen (rat tail) than on the simple membrane Conclusion The membrane of biologic conduit made of chitin have good biologic compatibility with Schwann cells and have better nerve cell affinity after being precoated with collagen.
