Ideal wound dressing materials should meet the requirements including maintaining a local moist environment, good surface absorbance for wound exudate, decreasing wound surface necrosis, and avoiding the lack of moisture in the wound. Common treatments for infections caused by skin diseases, resulting in extensive damage and often cause the death of people. In this project, the electrolytic solution of carboxymethylcellulose / calcium alginate / propolis was used to fabricate suitable fiber diameter and uniform distribution. Cellulose is suitable for the grafting of a myriad of chemical groups because of the ample availability of hydroxyl groups, and Propolis was selected in this research due to its excellent properties, such as accelerating wound healing and cell growth and antibacterial growth. The optimum electrospinning conditions were achieved at a voltage of 20 kV, with a spacing of 20 cm from the syringe to the collecting plate and a rate of 15 ml / h. Then, to evaluate the properties of the scaffold. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), infrared Fourier transform (FTIR), mean of weight loss were performed. Finally, for testing the cellular survival of the samples MTT test was performed and a mechanical test was performed on the specimens. The scaffold degradation rate was linear and resulted in its complete destruction in 21 days. Cytotoxicity testing of scaffolds yielded acceptable results. A suitable structure for porosity and permeability was obtained in calcium carboxymethylcellulose/calcium alginate/propolis scaffold and this scaffold is a good candidate for application in skin tissue engineering.
理想的创面敷料应满足保持局部湿润环境,对创面渗出液有良好的表面吸水性,减少创面坏死,避免创面缺乏水分等要求。常见的治疗方法是皮肤病引起的感染,造成大面积损害,并经常造成人死亡。本课题采用羧甲基纤维素/海藻酸钙/蜂胶的电解溶液制备合适直径和均匀分布的纤维。纤维素具有丰富的羟基可用性,适合接枝无数化学基团,蜂胶具有加速伤口愈合、细胞生长和抗菌生长等优良性能,因此本研究选择蜂胶。获得最佳静电纺丝条件:电压为20 kV,注射器至收集板间距为20 cm,速率为15 ml / h。然后,对支架的性能进行评价。扫描电镜(SEM)、红外傅立叶变换(FTIR)、平均失重率测定。最后,对样品进行MTT试验和力学试验,以检测样品的细胞存活率。支架降解速率呈线性,并在21天内完全破坏。支架的细胞毒性测试得到了可接受的结果。研究了羧甲基纤维素钙/海藻酸钙/蜂胶支架的孔隙度和渗透性,该支架在皮肤组织工程中具有良好的应用前景。
