RESUMO
Objective: To prepare adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and chitosan chloride (CSCl) gel complex to study the biocompatibility and the feasibility of repairing the wounds of deep partial thickness scald in rats. Methods: ADSCs were prepared by enzymogen digestion and differential adherence method from the subcutaneous adipose tissue of SPF grade 6-week-old male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats. Temperature sensitive CSCl gel was prepared by mixing CSCl, β glycerol phosphate, and hydroxyethyl cellulose in 8∶2∶2.5 ratio. The proliferation of ADSCs was measured by cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) assay and the survival of ADSCs was detected by the Live/Dead flurescent staining in vitro. A deep partial thickness burn animal model was made on the back of 72 SPF grade 6-week-old male SD rats by boiled water contact method and randomly divided into 3 groups ( n=24). Group A was blank control group, group B was CSCl hydrogel group, group C was ADSCs/CSCl gel group. The wound closure rate at 3, 7, 14, 21 days was observed after operation. The number of inflammatory cells at 7 days and epidermal thickness at 21 days were observed by HE staining after operation. The angiogenesis at 7 days was evaluated by immunohistochemistry staining with CD31 expression. Results: CSCl had a temperature sensitivity, at 4℃, the temperature-responsive hydrogel was liquid and became solid at 37℃. The CCK-8 assay and Live/Dead flurescent staining confirmed that ADSCs could grow and proliferate in the ADSCs/CSCl hydrogel complex. General observation showed the wound closure ratio in group C was superior to groups A and B after operation ( P<0.05). HE staining showed that at 7 days after operation, the wound healing of the three groups entered fibrous proliferation stage. Collagen deposition and inflammatory cell infiltration were observed in the dermis of each group. The proportion of inflammatory cells in group C was significantly lower than that in groups A and B, and in group B than in group A ( P<0.01). At 21 days after operation, the fibrous connective tissues of neoepithelium and dermis in groups B and C were arranged neatly, and fibroblasts and neocapillaries could be seen. In group A, neoepidermis could also be seen, but the fibrous connective tissues in dermis were arranged disorderly and sporadic capillaries could be seen. The thickness of neonatal epidermis in group C was significantly larger than that in groups A and B, and in group B than in group A ( P<0.01). CD31 immunohistochemistry staining showed that the neovascularization could be seen in all groups. The number of neovascularization in group C was significantly higher than that in groups A and B, and in group B than in group A ( P<0.05). Conclusion: The ADSCs/CSCl hydrogel complex has a good biocompatibility and possessed positive effects on promoting the deep partial thickness scald wound repairing in rats.
RESUMO
Objective To study the absorption and distribution of low molecular N-trimethyl chitosan chloride in mice.Methods Using tritium marking method to determine the concentrations of low molecular N-trimethyl chitosan chloride in serum after oral administration.Its pharmacokinetics were analysed by DAS ver1.0 program and the distributions in tissues were examined. Results The pharmacokinetics of low molecular N-trimethyl chitosan chloride were consistent with two-compartment model.The radioactive concentrations in liver,kidney,lung and spleen were higher than those in other tissues.And the radioactive concentration in cancer was higher. Conclusion Low molecular N-trimethyl chitosan chloride could be absorbed after oral administration.It was easily conjugate with cancer surface and could be developed as an anticancer drug for oral use in the future.
