ABSTRACT
This study evaluated the biological stability and cytotoxicity of rabbit thoracic aorta cross-linked by dye-mediated photooxidation in vivo environment of blood flow. Rabbits, whose allogenic thoracic aorta was cross-linked by dye-mediated photooxidation (DMP, n=6) and glutaraldehyde (GA, n=6), were in the DMP group and GA group, respectively; rabbits, whose homogenic abdominal aorta was orthotopic transplanted (OT, n=6), were in the OT group. Then the donor arteries were transplanted into the position of the abdominal arteries of rabbits. After operation, the animals were fed for 1 month, then each of graft arteries was removed for observation. Biological stability was evaluated through histological analysis under optical microscope. Cytotoxicity was evaluated through ratio of coverage of endothelial cell (ES) under scanning-electron microscope. The results showed that no statistically significant difference was noted between DMP group and OT group (P>0.05); however, there was a significant difference between DMP group and GA group (P<0.01). The stability index in DMP group was much higher than that in GA group. There was a statistically significant difference between DMP group and GA group (P<0.01). Ratio was much higher in DMP group than in GA group. In conclusion, the arteries cross-linked by dye-mediated photooxidation treatment appeared to have higher biological stability and lower cytotoxicity in rabbit allogenic transplation model.
