BACKGROUND:Artificial cornea titanium scaffold has a higher complication rate in clinical usage; therefore, to seek a kind of artificial corneal scaffold with high biocompatibility is a hot spot.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the biocompatibility of the artificial cornea titanium scaffold with hydroxyapatite surface modification.
METHODS: Twenty-seven New Zealand white rabbits were enroled to make alkali burn models of the right cornea and then randomized into three groups: in experimental group, artificial cornea titanium scaffold with hydroxyapatite surface modification was implanted into the right eye; in control group, artificial cornea titanium scaffold was implanted into the right eye; in blank group, no scaffold was implanted into the right eye. At 2, 4, 16 weeks after implantation, the right corneas were taken out for pathological observation and scanning electron microscope observation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 16 weeks after implantation, there was no difference in the number of inflammatory cels and fibroblasts among the three groups. Over time, in the experimental group, the corneal tissues, fibrous tissues and adhered extracelular matrices were increased gradualy. In addition, the experimental group had more adherent corneal tissues, extracelular matrices and better tissue healing than the control and blank groups. These findings indicate that the artificial cornea titanium scaffold with hydroxyapatite surface modification had good biocompatibility that can effectively promote proliferation of corneal cels and corneal vascularization.

BACKGROUND:Different local anesthetic solutions for tumescent liposuction are necessary and have a certain effect on the biological characteristics of human adipose stem cels.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of different tumescent local anesthesia on the proliferation and differentiation of human adipose stem cels culturedin vitro.
METHODS: Passage 3 human adipose stem cels were intervened by different tumescent local anesthesia (bupivacaine, ropivacaine, lidocaine). Cels cultured in low-glucose DMEM served as controls. Proliferation ability, lactate dehydrogenase activity in the supernatant and percentage of cels under adipogenic differentiation were detected.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After intervention for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 days, the supernatant lactate dehydrogenase activity in the bupivacaine, ropivacaine, lidocaine groups was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05), and moreover, the lactate dehydrogenase activity in the bupivacaine group was significantly higher than that in the ropivacaine group and lidocaine group (P < 0.05). The absorbance value of human adipose stem cels was lower in the bupivacaine, ropivacaine, lidocaine groups than the control group (P < 0.05) as wel as lower in the bupivacaine group than the ropivacaine and lidocaine groups (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the percentage of cels under adipogenic differentiation between groups (P > 0.05). Overal, these findings indicate that different tumescent local anesthesia (bupivacaine, ropivacaine, lidocaine) can al inhibit the proliferation of human adipose stem cels, but have no certain effects on the adipogenic differentiation.
