Benefits of technology

The invention aims to improve the strength of a scaffold made from silk fibroin, which is commonly used in biological applications. The method improves the scaffold's ability to withstand damage and has practical uses such as in tissue engineering.

Problems solved by technology

Compared with other diseases, anal fistula is characterized in extreme pain in patients, low surgical success rate, and probable recurrence, bringing about tremendous physical and psychological problems to the patients.
These treatments suffer from the defects of extreme pain during treatment, low cure rate (lower than 40%), long recovery period, and frequent recurrence.
Nevertheless, its degradation rate still cannot fully meet the requirements of the treatment of anal fistula, and resulted in an anal fistula recurrence rate of 10% or greater.
Moreover, it suffers from complex extraction and preparation process, high cost, and high price of around $2,000 each, which is unbearable to patients in China.
However, the above methods each have deficiencies difficult to overcome.
As such, there are restrictions for their use as a tissue repair or tissue engineering scaffold.
However, during the freezing process, the silk fibroin is liable to be self-assembled into a sheet structure, and it is difficult to obtain a good porous structure.
However, the scaffold thus obtained faces a major problem in practical applications.
It has relatively poor mechanical strength and weak tearing resistance, and therefore is difficult to be sutured and fixed by a surgical thread or to be operated by minimally invasive surgical operation, which results in that the scaffold cannot be practically used in clinical application, especially in anal fistula repair plugs.

example 1

[0045]In this example, the silk fibroin porous scaffold is prepared according to the following steps:

[0046]1) 5 g of cocoons are added to 2 liters of a sodium carbonate solution having a mass concentration of 0.5%, treated at 98 to 100° C. for 40 min to remove the external sericin, and sufficiently washed to obtain pure silk fibroin.

[0047]2) The degummed silk fibroin (also referred to as “boiled-off silk”) is woven into a tubular material having a diameter of 4 mm by a textile machine to form a framework, the weave density of the material is such that the distance between adjacent warp boiled-off silks is about 1 mm, and the distance between adjacent weft boiled-off silks is about 1 mm. The tubular material is placed into a repair plug mold having a diameter of 5 mm.

[0048]3) The dried silk fibroin is dissolved into a 9.3 mol / L lithium bromide solution at about 60° C., to obtain a fibroin mixed solution. The fibroin mixed solution is added to a cellulose dialysis membrane, and dialys...

[0058]5 g of cocoons are added to 2 liters of a sodium carbonate solution having a mass concentration of 0.5%, treated at 98 to 100° C. for 40 min to remove the external sericin, and sufficiently washed to obtain pure silk fibroin.

[0059]The degummed silk fibroin (also referred to as “boiled-off silk”) is woven into a tubular material having a diameter of 3 mm by a textile machine The tubular material is placed into a conical repair plug mold having an upper diameter of 3 mm and a lower diameter of 5 mm.

[0060]The dried silk fibroin is dissolved into a 9.3 mol / L lithium bromide solution at about 60° C., to obtain a fibroin mixed solution. The fibroin mixed solution is added to a cellulose dialysis membrane, and dialysized with deionized water to remove lithium bromide. Thus, a pure aqueous silk fibroin solution is obtained.

[0061]The mass concentration of the silk fibroin is adjusted to 4%, and the aqueous solution is placed at 4° C. for 1 hour, such that the solution temperature is st...
