Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedical materials, and specifically relates to a nanofiber membrane for adsorbing inflammatory factors and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Inflammatory factors are an important group of proteins that play a role in information transmission in the human immune system. There are many types of them, including interleukins, tumor necrosis factors, interferons, and other major categories, each of which contains many groups. When the body is infected or tissues are damaged, inflammatory factors produced by inflammatory cells or other cells regulate immune responses and inflammatory reactions through synergistic and antagonistic effects to maintain the physiological health of the body, but their excessive or unregulated expression may lead to inflammatory diseases and cause damage to the body itself.

[0003] Symptoms such as death due to cerebral ischemia, tissue damage caused by organ separation, infection, etc., lead to excessive secretion of inflammatory factors in the separated organs, causing inflammation, ischemia-reperfusion injury and other symptoms, which affect the quality of donor organs. Among the large number of donor organs provided by the transplant team, only a small number of organs meet the transplantation standards, and most of the donor organs become marginal donor organs because they do not meet the transplantation standards. In order to expand the donor pool, medical personnel mechanically perfuse marginal donor organs, and perform functional repair and quality assessment of damaged organs by adjusting cell metabolism, adding antibiotics and immunomodulatory drugs, and testing physiological indicators.

[0004] However, mechanical perfusion itself may also present a negative pro-inflammatory environment. Donor organs may be subjected to reperfusion injury or mechanical ventilation injury, which may trigger inflammatory responses and oxidative stress, leading to further increases in the concentration of inflammatory factors and causing tissue damage. Therefore, removing over-secreted inflammatory factors is a potential strategy to help repair damaged organs. In view of this situation, the development of adsorbent materials that can effectively remove inflammatory factors in perfusion fluids has significant economic and social benefits.

[0005] The Chinese patent document with publication number CN117942792A discloses a nanofiber filtration adsorption membrane for adsorbing interleukin, and the adsorption performance of the nanofiber membrane is improved by introducing functional groups that can react with interleukin on the surface of the nanofiber filtration membrane. The chemical reaction of introducing functional groups that can react with interleukin includes nucleophilic substitution reaction, electrophilic substitution reaction, nucleophilic addition reaction or electrophilic addition reaction. This process requires the use of a large amount of chemical reagents, which may have potential biosafety issues.

[0006] A Chinese patent document with publication number CN116966756A discloses a method for preparing a blood purification membrane for removing pro-inflammatory cytokines. The invention constructs a pro-inflammatory cytokine adsorption functional layer on the outer surface of a hollow fiber plasma separation membrane, which effectively improves the blood compatibility of the material and the adsorption performance of pro-inflammatory cytokines. A Chinese patent document with publication number CN118718758A discloses a plasma filtration adsorption membrane, which includes a three-layer structure-a cellulose-based adsorption layer, a fiber membrane-based filtration layer, and a nanofiber membrane layer, wherein the nanofiber membrane layer is a nanofiber filtration membrane modified with nitrogen-containing organic functional groups, which can adsorb at least one interleukin. The above invention has cumbersome steps and involves many chemical raw materials. Summary of the invention
