Biological and mechanical evaluation of the small-diameter tissue-engineered blood vessels matrix / 局解手术学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To develop a small-diameter tissue-engineered blood vessels which possesses normal blood vessels physiological structure, good biocompatibility, and mechanical properties. And it was evaluated by mechanical and biological of national standard of medi-cal transfusion material. Methods The bio-derived material were regarded as the ground substance, and it was evaluated by mechanical and biological of national standard after composite modification. Results The axial and radial tensile stress of the blood vessel was 23. 14 N and 36. 79 N respectively, and it was greater than the standard 7. 5N. The tensile rate of the axial and radial was 95. 19% and 80. 24% respec-tively, which were higher than the standard value 20%. The suture strength of the blood vessel was 13. 71 N, which was conform to the me-chanical requirement. Mainly used blood vessels or its extracts to detect the pH of the blood vessels is in the scope of control deionized water pH (7. 5 ± 1. 5);the hemolysis rate was 1. 3972% which was less than 5%;the whole blood coagulation time was 50% longer than the con-trol level, and there was no stimulation after intradermal injection. Conclusion With bio-derived material as the ground substance and com-positely modified, this kind od blood vessels is conform to the mechanical and biological of national standard, and it has the potential of clini-cal application which could play an important role in the replacement therapy of small-diameter vascular xenografts.
