Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bioengineering materials, and in particular to a method for preparing a composite tissue nerve regeneration and repair conduit. Background Art

[0002] The tissues that make up various organs in the human body are composed of cells. The organizations of countless cells are highly ordered. There are nearly 100 trillion cells in the human body, divided into more than 100 types. They perform their respective missions step by step and combine into four types of tissues: epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue and nervous tissue. Complex tissue is a special form of anatomical combination of the above four tissues. It is a tissue that is composed of several simple tissues with different forms and functions to perform a specific function.

[0003] In my country, approximately 2 million cases of peripheral nerve injury occur each year. The repair and reconstruction of peripheral nerve defects is a major problem in the current field of peripheral nerve injury. Long segmental nerve defects cannot be repaired clinically at present. With the development of tissue engineering technology, the use of nerve conduits and seed cells to construct tissue-engineered peripheral nerves in vitro to replace autologous nerve transplantation has become a development direction. The nerve conduit is a carrier for repairing nerve defects. It has the advantages of adjustable tube diameter and length, tension-free suture of the anastomosis, prevention of invasion of surrounding fibrous scar tissue, avoidance of the risks brought by autologous transplantation, and simplified surgical operation.

[0004] Most of the existing nerve repair catheters have single functions, insufficient mechanical properties, lack of good structural stability and biocompatibility, and have a certain impact on the structure of the nerve itself, and there is a potential immune response. In addition, the preparation process is complicated, difficult to operate, and the preparation cost is relatively expensive, which is not convenient for widespread promotion and application. Therefore, the present invention proposes a preparation method of a composite tissue nerve regeneration repair catheter to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the invention

[0011] Step 5: First, fill the interior of the semi-finished nerve repair catheter obtained in step 4 with PGA filaments, and then coat the surface of the semi-finished nerve repair catheter with chitosan polymer. After the chitosan polymer is solidified, a finished composite tissue nerve regeneration repair catheter is obtained.

[0012] A further improvement is that in step one, the solution preparation raw materials are prepared according to the following weight parts: 30 parts of nerve tissue, 13 parts of polyglycolide crystals and 57 parts of protease solution, and the sol preparation raw materials are then prepared according to the following weight parts: 25 parts of chitosan powder, 12 parts of anhydrous acetic acid and 63 parts of sterile distilled water.

[0013] A further improvement is that in the step 2, the nerve tissue is first immersed in a cell membrane lysis solution after being crushed, and then the crushed nerve tissue is rinsed in pure water after the soaking, and then mixed with the crushed polyglycolide crystals after the rinsing.

[0014] A further improvement is that in the step 2, the specific preparation process of the chitosan sol is: first, chitosan powder is added to a stirring container filled with sterile distilled water and mixed and stirred, then sewage acetic acid is added to the stirring container and continued to mix and stir, and then stirring is repeated at a frequency of stirring for 30 minutes and then standing for 30 minutes until the mixture in the stirring container is completely dissolved, and finally the chitosan sol is obtained after being sealed and stored for 12 hours.

[0017] A further improvement is that in step 4, the medical adhesive is an α-cyanoacrylate medical adhesive, and the semi-finished nerve repair catheter is sterilized after preparation. The specific steps are: first, the semi-finished nerve repair catheter is placed in a container filled with ethanol and soaked for 20 to 30 minutes, and then the semi-finished nerve repair catheter is washed with PBS buffer after soaking, and finally dried to complete the sterilization.

[0018] A further improvement is that in step five, the finished composite tissue nerve regeneration repair catheter is first inspected for appearance and quality, and then sealed and stored and put into use after passing the inspection.

In addition, the entire preparation process is simple, easy to operate, and has low cost, and is worthy of wide promotion and application. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
