Abstract Background: Application of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can improve tendon-bone healing (TBH) after rotator cuff surgical repair. Graphene Oxide (GO) is a steady, controlled, and sustained carrier. The purpose of this study is to determine whether GO/PRP Composite Scaffold enhances the TBH after RC surgical repair in a rabbit model.Methods: A full-thickness tear of the supraspinatus tendon was created and repaired in 36 adult male New Zealand rabbits. They were divided into three groups: Control group, PRP group, and GO/PRP Composite Scaffold group (GO group). The effect of GO/PRP Composite Scaffold on TBH was assessed using histological and biomechanical evaluations at 8 and 12 weeks postoperatively.Results: Histological analysis showed that greater continuity, better orientation, and more density of collagen fiber were detected in the GO group than PRP and Control groups at 8 and 12 weeks, respectively. Results of biomechanical evaluations showed that the load to failure and stiffness of the GO group were statistically higher than those of PRP and Control groups at both 8 and 12 weeks (P<0.05). Compared with 8 weeks in the GO group, there was no significant difference in load to failure at 12 weeks (P>0.05), while the stiffness at 12 weeks was higher than that at 8 weeks (P<0.05). Conclusions: These results demonstrated that GO/PRP Composite Scaffold enhanced the TBH following rotator cuff surgical repair in a rabbit model. The GO may be an effective carrier for PRP into repair sites.

Natural polysaccharides, including hyaluronic acid, find a wide range of applications in biomedical sciences. There is a growing interest in nanocomposites containing hyaluronic acid and nanoparticles such as nanometals or graphene. In this study, we prepared foils of pure sodium hyaluronate and sodium hyaluronate containing nanosilver, graphene oxide, nanosilver/graphene oxide and characterized their properties. UV-vis spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed the formation of 10–20 nm silver nanoparticles. The structural changes were investigated using Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectra and size exclusion chromatography. The obtained results suggest changes in molecular weights in the samples containing nanoparticles, which was highest in a sample containing nanosilver/graphene oxide. We also assessed the mechanical properties of the foils (thickness, tensile strength and elongation at break) and their wettability. The foils containing nanosilver and nanosilver/graphene oxide presented bacteriostatic activity against E. coli, Staphylococcus spp. and Bacillus spp., which was not observed in the control and sample containing graphene oxide. The composites containing graphene oxide and nanosilver/graphene oxide exhibited a cytotoxic effect on human melanoma WM266-4 cell lines (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA).
