Oxidized sodium alginate used in an extracorporeal circulation pipe / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:At present, a heparin-coated extracorporeal circulation pipe is used widely, but the price is expensive and limits its wide application. OBJECTIVE:To screen the optimal coating condition of oxidated sodium alginate as a coating material to coat the medical polyvinyl chloride pipe and to evaluate the anticoagulant properties and the stability of the coated pipe. METHODS:Oxidized sodium alginate was prepared with sodium periodate, and the mole ratio of sodium periodate and sodium alginate was 18, 110 and 112, respectively. Oxidized sodium alginate with different degree of oxidation was coated on the surface of medical polyvinyl chloride pipes by chemical methods, then to select the best degree of oxidation. The optimal coating condition was screened through an orthogonal experiment based on concentrations of sulfuric acid, polyethyleneimine and oxidized sodium alginate, and pH value and temperature of oxidized sodium alginate. Additional y, the anticoagulant properties and expulsion rates of the prepared pipes were evaluated in comparison with the blank control group and heparin-coated group. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The optimal oxidation degree for oxidized sodium alginate was 110 for the mole ratio of sodium periodate and sodium alginate. The best coating conditions were 50%concentrated sulfuric acid, 0.05%polyethyleneimine, 40 ℃ of reaction temperature, 2 g/L oxidized sodium alginate, and pH value=3.5. The oxidized sodium alginate coating group had a similar trend compared with heparin-coated group in the expulsion rate. The anticoagulant properties of oxidized sodium alginate coating group were little weaker than those of heparin-coated group (P<0.05), but significantly better than those of the blank control group. The oxidized sodium alginate-coated extracorporeal circulation pipe has a good anticoagulant property and stability.
