Abstract:
BACKGROUND:The study confirmed that adding tricalcium phosphate or pearl powder in polylactic-co-glycolic acid can complement the performance of both, which provides a good environment for cels and makes a faster and better growth of cels. OBJECTIVE:We used polylactic-co-glycolic acid as matrix, composited with pearl powder or tricalcium phosphate to prepare scaffolds by low-temperature deposition manufacturing. METHODS:Low-temperature deposition manufacturing was utilized to prepare composite scaffold of polylactic-co-glycolic acid/pearl powder or polylactic-co-glycolic acid/tricalcium phosphate at the ratio of 10:0, 5:2, 7:3 and 6:4. Microstructure, contact angle and compression modulus of elasticity of scaffolds were detected. MC3T3-E1 cels basicaly fused at 1×104/cm3 were seeded in the pure nonporous polylactic-co-glycolic acid scaffold, pure polylactic-co-glycolic acid scaffold with holes, polylactic-co-glycolic acid/pearl powder at 5:2 and polylactic-co-glycolic acid/tricalcium phosphate at 5:2 separately for 1 and 3 hours. Cel adhesion rate was detected using flow cytometry. After incubation for 1, 4 and 7 days, cel proliferation was measured using Alamar Blue method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Pure polylactic-co-glycolic acid scaffold had cross-linked microporous structure, with pore size of 3-15 μm. Scaffolds ofpolylactic-co-glycolic acid/pearl powder at 5:2 or polylactic-co-glycolic acid/tricalcium phosphate at 5:2 had good continuous porous structure, with pore size of 10-25 μm. With increased content of pearl powder or tricalcium phosphate, the hydrophilicity of the composite scaffold increased. The addition of pearl powder or tricalcium phosphate could elevate compressive mechanical properties of the composite scaffold. With increased content, the mechanical property of the scaffold enhanced and then reduced. The addition of pearl powder or tricalcium phosphate improved the celular affinity of polylactic-co-glycolic acid and the biocompatibility of the scaffold. The biocompatibility of polylactic-co-glycolic acid/pearl powder scaffold at 5:2 was the best.
