BACKGROUND: Chitosan and sodium alginate are the good natural materials for microcapsule, and also used widely in tissue engineering. Our research teams have made thorough work at anticoagulant materials, but these materials are inert or simulate the liquid crYstal form of blood vessel wall. While in this experiment, on the base of our previous study, we microencapsulated heparin with biotic anticoagulation activity and other specific performances in order to enable microcapsule to have a long time releasing effect of medicine.OBJECTIVE: To microencapsulate the low molecular heparin so as to ensure the stability of heparin in vivo and analyze the effect of content of chitosan on the performance of heparin microcapsules basing on the natural chitosan and sodium alginate as the enwrapped materials of microcapsules.DESIGN: Open experiment.SETTING: Department of Material Science and Engineering, Jinan University.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed at the laboratory of Department of Material Science and Engineering, Jinan University from October 2004 to June 2005. Heparin, with relative molecular mass＜ 5 000, was provided by Shandong Freda Biochem Co., Ltd.,; Chitosan was provided by Shanghai Bio Life Science & Technology Co., Ltd, DD≥90%, η＜ 100 cps;Sodium alginate was provided by Qingdao Bright Moon Seaweed Industrial Co., Ltd. Emulsions were Span80, and CaCl2, which were both made in China.METHODS: ①Preparation of heparin/chitosan microcapsules (HCM):Some heparin aqueous solution was emulsified in liquid paraffin. The reaction system was stirred fully and presented emulsion. Then the whole reaction system was warmed to be at 50 ℃ and maintained for 20 minutes. Afterwards, 20 g/L chitosan solution was added slowly, subsequently with raising the temperature to be at 60 ℃ and then glutaraldehyde was dropwised keeping the reaction system at 80 ℃ for 1hour. Centrifugation, filtration and washing followed by washing with kerosene fully, remain organic was extracted by dehydrated alcohol with extractor were performed.Drying and xeransis in vacuum were done at last. ② Preparation of heparin-sodium alginate-chitosan microcapsules (HSCM) :Heparin aqueous solution and sodium alginate were emulsified in paraffin, and the reaction system was stirred into emulsion at room temperature for 20 minutes, then 3% CaCl2 solution containing different concentrations of chitosan was added slowly. 30 minutes later, Microcapsules were separated, washed and dried as the treatments as before. ③ Drug content and envelope efficiency were measured, heparin standard curve was determined and in vitro releasing effect of heparin microcapsules was also measured.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Effect of chitosan solution concentration on preparation of heparin-chitosan microcapsules; ② Effect of glutaraldehyde dosage on preparation of heparin-chitosan microcapsules; ③Effect of sodium alginate concentration on hepatin-sodium alginate; ④Effect of chitosan concentration on hepatin-sodium alginate-chitosan microcapsules. ⑤ In vitro release of heparin microcapsules enwrapped by different materials. ⑥Measurement of heparin content and envelope efficiency. ⑦ Observation of heparin microcapsule under scanning electron microscope RESULTS: ①With the increasing concentration of chitosan, the color of production changed from yellow to dark, and microcapsules were increscent, but the microcapsules uniformity and property of balling were increased. ②The increasing content of glutaraldehyde led darker production.Increase of glutaraldehyde content made production bond each other severely. The glutaraldehyde, which did not react with chitosan, can solidify itself and presented anomalous microcapsules forming. ③There was not obvious balling property of the production with the change of concentration of sodium alginate. ④The balling property of microsphere was good with increasing concentration of chitosan. However, microcapsules conglutinated with each other. 2% chitosan would be better. ⑤With the increase of chitosan content, the releasing speed ofheparin became slow. ⑥The envelope efficiency was about 58% when microcapsule contained 20%(wt) of chitosan, and used chitosan only the envelope efficiency could approach to 79.9%. ⑦ The surface of microcapsules with chitosan was very compact,and with increasing of content of glutaraldehyde, microcapsules would bond each other.CONCLUSION: Chitosan at certain concentration will affect the uniformity and balling property of microcapsules. Chitosan dosage can alter the envelope efficiency of heparin. Envelope efficiency of heparin is increased and releasing speed of heparin is decreased with the increase of content of chitosan.

BACKGROUND:Polylactic acid(PLA)surface is hydrophobic and there are no nataral recognition sites,so its application is limited.Many different strategies have been studied such as composition and chemical Drafting,to produce hydrophilic groups.However,these traditional methods are always involved in complex process and many organic reagents,resulting in decrease of biocompatibility.OBJECTIVE:To conduct the surfacr modification of PL.A and improve its hydrophilicity with low temperature plasma treatment.DESIGN:Controlled observation.SETTING:Department of Materials Science and Engineering in Jinan University.MATERIAIS:The experiment was processed from October 2004 to October 2005 at Guangzhou Research Center of Artificial Organs and Materials Engineering(Ministry of Education).The mainly used materials were:Poly-D,L-lactic acid(Mr 2.9×104,Shandong Medical Instrument Institute),N-vinyl-pyrrolidone(NVP,Acros Company,purified before use).METHODS:The materials were treated in the plasma reactor under different conditions(power=150 W,t=3,2,1 minutes;power=30 W,t=10,8,5,3,1 minutes)to choose the optimal condition,and then PLA were grafted with NVP by gas phase polymerization and liquid polymerization,respectively.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:THe surface morphology of the films was observed with scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy.The hydrophilicity of native and treated material surfaces was measured using a water contact angle meter.Surface composition was detected with Fourier transform infrared spectrometer.Mass changesmeasurement was applied to characterize the grafting efficiency.RESULTS:Scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy showed that the plasma medified materials possessed coarse surface with pores and notches.Water contact angles decreased obviously from 78°to 50°after grafting,Fourier transform infrared spectrometer showed a new absorption peak at 1 637.19 cm-1,which corresponded to the carbonyl stretch vibration absorption of amide group in poly-N-vinyl-pyrrolidone.After the plasma treatmerlt at low temperature.the mass change ratio of PLA film material was-0.6.CONCLUSION:The plasma treatment and polymerization can improve the hydrophilicity and cause coarsr surface of PLA material,which will be helpful for the cell attachment.

Objective To investigate the relationship between tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in ischemic brain tissue and bran edema after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats.Methods Eighty four male SD rats were randomly assigned to either a cerebral ischemia reperfusion group (n =44) or a sham-operation group (n =40). A model of middle cerebral artery occlusion for 120 minutes followed by reperfusion was induced in rats using the suture method. The infarct size was determined by 2, 3, 5-triphenyi terazoloride (TTC) staining at 6 h,24 h, 3 d, and 7 d respectively after the reperfusion. Dry-wet weight method was used to measure brain water content and evaluate the extent of brain edema. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the concentration of TNF-α in ischemic brain tissue. Results TNF-α level in ischemic brain tissue was increased at 6 h (445.8 ±91.7 pg/ml) after the reperfusion, and reached the peak at day 3 (715.5 ±121.3 pg/ml). There were significant differences compared to the sham-operation group and other time points (all P＜0.001). After that, it was decreased gradually, but it was still higher than that in the shamoperation group at day 7 (478.1 ± 145.5 pg/ml vs. 148.5 ± 101.7 pg/ml, P＜0.005). The initial change of the water content in brain tissue lagged behind the increased TNF-α. It did not increase significantly until 24 h after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (P ＜0.001). It reached the peak at day 3 (P ＜0.001), and it was still higher than that in the control group at day 7 (P ＜0.05). The evolution of cerebral infarct volume was in accordance with the changes of TNF-α level. Conclusions TNF-α is associated with the changes of brain edema and infarct volume,and it is harmful to brain tissue.
