Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a multilayer tissue engineering biological scaffold for tendon repair, belonging to the technical field of biomedicine. Background Art

[0002] The treatment of tendon injury is one of the most difficult in the human body. The difficulty mainly comes from the tendon tissue itself, such as few tendon cells, low blood supply, and very low metabolic rate, which leads to very limited self-repair ability.

[0003] At present, the main method for treating tendon injuries is tendon transplantation, which is divided into three categories: biological tendon transplantation, artificial tendon transplantation and tissue engineering scaffold materials. Among them, biological tendons are divided into autologous, allogeneic and xenogeneic, and their disadvantages are narrow sources, low compatibility, ethical issues, immune rejection, etc.; artificial tendon materials include alloys, plastics, silicone, chitin, collagen, etc., but the use of these materials has problems such as being unable to be absorbed by the human body, slow healing of sutures, significant rejection reactions, adhesions, easy infection, and insufficient mechanical properties; tissue engineering scaffold materials include fibrin, chitin, PLA, PGA, etc., but different materials also have problems such as insufficient mechanical strength, poor hydrophilicity, poor adhesion, and poor tissue compatibility. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model designs and develops a multilayer tissue engineering biological scaffold for tendon repair, which can overcome the problems of insufficient mechanical strength, poor hydrophilicity, poor adhesion and poor tissue compatibility of common materials and improve their mechanical properties and biological activity.

[0005] The technical solution provided by the utility model is:

[0006] A multilayer tissue engineering bioscaffold for tendon repair, the bioscaffold is a cylindrical structure and comprises:

[0007] A biofilm layer, which is the outermost layer of the bioscaffold;

[0008] A first support layer, which is fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the biofilm layer;

[0009] a plurality of active particles disposed on top of the first support layer;

[0010] A main structure layer, which is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the first support layer;

[0011] A second support layer, which is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the main structure layer;

[0012] A plurality of lysozymes are disposed on top of the second support layer.

[0013] Preferably, the material of the biofilm layer is human dermal tissue extract.

[0014] Preferably, the first support layer and the second support layer are made of the same material, both of which are sodium alginate hydrogel.

[0015] Preferably, the material of the main structure layer is nanocellulose.

[0016] Preferably, the material of the active particles is PLGA nanomaterial.

[0017] Preferably, the active particles are connected to the first scaffold layer by physical cross-linking.

[0018] Preferably, the biofilm layer, the first support layer, the main structure layer and the second support layer are fixedly connected by lamination.

[0019] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0020] The multilayer tissue engineering biological scaffold for tendon repair provided by the utility model is a four-layer structure tissue engineering scaffold based on hydrogel, which is compounded with nanocellulose and polymer microspheres to improve mechanical strength, and then immobilized enzymes are added to improve biological activity. It has similar softness and flexibility to biological tissues, good biodegradability and compatibility, and improves mechanical properties and biological activity.

[0021] The mechanical strength and stress of the material are enhanced by using a multilayer structure of composite nanocellulose and physically cross-linked PLGA particles. The immunogenicity is reduced by adding a biofilm to prevent adhesion during the recovery process and increase biological activity. The risk of infection is reduced by adding immobilized phage lytic enzymes. The sodium alginate scaffold as the main frame has strong hydrophilicity and tissue compatibility. The shortcomings of currently commonly used materials, such as insufficient mechanical strength, poor hydrophilicity, poor adhesion, and poor tissue compatibility, are solved.
