In this paper, in vitro degradation behaviors of the PDO monofilaments and the stents were studied. The mechanical properties,morphology observation and Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) of PDO monofilaments were determined, as well as the compression strength of the stents. The experimental results showed that the PDO monofilaments contained half of its original strength after 6 weeks degradation and lost its strength in the 10thweek. DSC outcomes showed that the crystalline regions of PDO havent been hydrolyzed after 16 weeks of degradation. The stents demonstrated good compression behaviors for 12 weeks and therefore can be utilized in short-term application.

A rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most common knee ligament injury. Current applied reconstruction methods have limitations in terms of graft availability and mechanical properties. A new approach could be the use of a tissue engineering construct that temporarily reflects the mechanical properties of native ligament tissues and acts as a carrier structure for cell seeding. In this study, embroidered scaffolds composed of polylactic acid (PLA) and poly(lactic-co-ε-caprolactone) (P(LA-CL)) threads were tested mechanically for their viscoelastic behavior under in vitro degradation. The relaxation behavior of both scaffold types (moco: mono-component scaffold made of PLA threads, bico: bi-component scaffold made of PLA and P(LA-CL) threads) was comparable to native lapine ACL. Most of the lapine ACL cells survived 32 days of cell culture and grew along the fibers. Cell vitality was comparable for moco and bico scaffolds. Lapine ACL cells were able to adhere to the polymer surfaces and spread along the threads throughout the scaffold. The mechanical behavior of degrading matrices with and without cells showed no significant differences. These results demonstrate the potential of embroidered scaffolds as an ACL tissue engineering approach.
