[0053] Comparative Experiment 1

[0054] The difference from Example 1 is that β-cyclodextrin is not added to the modification solution.

[0055] SEM characterization

[0056] Figure 1 is the surface scanning electron microscope image of the commercial 3M hollow fiber membrane.

[0057] Figure 2 is the surface scanning electron microscope image of the hollow fiber membrane prepared in Example 1. A layer of obvious coating is observed on the surface, indicating that heparin is successfully coated after 12 h.

[0058] Figure 3 is the surface scanning electron microscope image of the hollow fiber membrane prepared in Example 2. The surface coating is observed to be thicker, indicating that the surface defects are reduced and the surface is more uniform as the coating time is extended to 24 h.

[0059] Figure 4is the surface scanning electron microscope graph of the hollow fiber membrane prepared in Comparative Experiment 1. It is observed that the surface is uneven. When the surface is not added with cyclodextrin, the heparin coating effect on the membrane surface is poor, and the surface defects are many.

[0060] Experimental Example 1

[0061] The coagulation time experiment takes anticoagulant pig blood, and the modified membrane filaments prepared in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Experiment 1, and the 3M original membrane without modification are respectively put into the anticoagulant pig blood, and the membrane filaments are taken out after being placed in a 37℃ shaking bed for 10 min. The APTT and PT are detected by using an automatic coagulation instrument. The results are shown in Table 1 below. It can be seen that compared with the control sample, the APTT value of the modified coating is significantly increased, indicating that the modified coating has good anticoagulation performance, and the coating modified by cyclodextrin has better anticoagulation effect than the unmodified coating.

[0063]

[0064] Experimental Example 2

[0065] The protein adhesion experiment is carried out by putting the modified membrane filaments prepared in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Experiment 1, and the 3M original membrane without modification into a 0.1 mg / ml bovine serum protein solution, and taking out the membrane filaments after being placed in a 37℃ shaking bed for 2h. The remaining solution after soaking the membrane filaments is dyed by using a BCA kit, and the absorbance is detected by using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer to calculate the bovine serum protein adsorption amount. The results are shown in Table 2 below. It can be seen that compared with the control sample, the protein adsorption amount of the heparin coating is significantly reduced, and the protein adsorption amount of the membrane filaments modified by cyclodextrin is lower than that of the unmodified membrane filaments. It is indicated that the modified membrane filaments have good anti-protein adsorption capacity, and the anti-protein adsorption capacity of the membrane filaments modified by cyclodextrin is better than that of the unmodified membrane filaments.

[0068] Experimental Example 3: Toluene blue heparin release detection

[0069] The content of heparin is calculated by using the toluidine blue method. The modified membrane filaments prepared in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Experiment 1, and the 3M original membrane without modification are placed in a phosphate buffer solution for a certain time, and the upper solution is taken out to detect the absorbance, and the content and release rate of heparin are calculated. The results are as follows Figure 7As shown, it can be seen that the heparin release rate of the cyclodextrin-modified membrane filament is slower than that of the unmodified membrane filament. The sustained-release ability of the experimental example 2 is the best, indicating that the cyclodextrin-modified membrane filament has better sustained-release ability than the unmodified membrane filament.
