POSS-modified PEG adhesives for wound closure

PEG-related adhesives are limited in clinical use because they are easy to swell and cannot support the cell growth.In this study,we produced a series of POSS-modified PEG adhesives with high adhesive strength.Introduction of inorganic hydrophobic POSS units decreased the swelling of the adhesives and enhanced cell adhesion and growth.The in vitro cytotoxicity and in vivo inflammatory response experiments clearly demonstrated that the adhesives were nontoxic and possessed excellent biocompatibility.Compared with the sutured wounds,the adhesive-treated wounds showed an accelerated healing process in wounded skin model of the Bama miniature pig,demonstrating that the POSS-modified PEG adhesive is a promising candidate for wound closure.     

钛表面超亲超疏性构筑及其对抗菌性影响

生物材料植入人体后若受到细菌感染就可能导致植入手术失败,因此植入材料的抗菌性研究具有重要的意义.由于内植物感染的第一步是细菌在材料表面的贴附,植入材料的表面性质对其抗菌性有决定性的影响.本文应用电化学法在钛表面构筑一层超亲水或超疏水的表面膜层,并由体外抗菌性试验研究材料表面的润湿性对细菌贴附的影响,以期借助改变材料表面...
