AbstractThis work reports the fabrication and characterizations of porous scaffold made up of polylactic acid (PLA) with the inclusion of pectin (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 wt%) for potential tissue engineering material. The composite scaffold was prepared using a facile method of freeze extraction. Based on the physical evaluations, the scaffold was suggested to be optimum at 5 wt% of pectin loading. Water contact angle of the scaffold was significantly reduced to 46.5o with the inclusion of 5 wt% of pectin. Morphological and topographic of the PLA scaffold revealed that the pectin induced more porous structure and its surface became rougher which was suitable for cell attachment and proliferation. In vitro studies of the PLA/pectin composite scaffold using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromidelt (MTT) assay revealed good biocompatibility whereas Live-Dead kit assay resulted in 91% cell viability after 7 days of incubation.

In this study, a nano-fibrous PLLA scaffold with hierarchical pore was sucessfully fabricated using combined TIPS and particle leaching method.The scaffold had a nano-fibrous PLLA matrix (fiber size 100-800 nm), an interconnective hierarchical pores (1.0- 425 μm), high porosity (>96%). The compressive modulus of scaffold with different pore size was between 0.16 MPa to 0.2 Mpa and it decreased with the increased salt size embedded in. The new nano composite scaffold is potentially a very promising scaffold for tissue engineering.

Application research on repairing oral and maxillofacial epithelial defects with filin-protein porous composite scaffold. The silk fibroin solution was synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis, and the film was prepared by stirring and pouring. Then silk fibroin film and silk fibroin freeze-dried support were prepared by stirring and smooth casting. It was characterized by FTIR, mechanical properties, dissolution detection, contact Angle and SEM. To evaluate the performance of this material in repairing rabbit oral mucosa and rabbit skin epithelial defects. The characterization shows that the material has good contact Angle, mechanical properties, dissolution and biocompatibility. It has good repair function to rabbit oral epithelial tissue and skin epithelial tissue. Silk fibroin has excellent and unique properties. It has good development prospects and great clinical value in tissue regeneration.

Poly 3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) as a kind of polysaccharides has been proved promising for tissue engineering because of its biocompatibility and biodegradability. But its poor mechanical properties and hydrophilicity limit its application. In order to explore a new useful porch to improve the performance of PHB-based GTR membrane, membrane composed of nano-HA / PHB composite was manufactured through the air/jet electrospinning process which can potentially generate nanometer scale diameter fibers and enlarge surface area of materials while maintaining high porosity. Successively, the biomineralization behavior of the membrane in supersaturated calcification solution (SCS) was studied. The Results of this investigation show that the successfully manufactured porous nano-HA/PHB membrane has high activity in SCS and its ability of inducing the formation of mineral crystal in vitro than that of the unfilled PHB membrane. It can be concluded that the addition of nano-HA and the novel technology could improve the performance of the PHB-based GTR membrane.

Nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) are tubular tissue engineering scaffolds used for nerve regeneration. The poor mechanical properties and porosity have always compromised their performances for guiding and supporting axonal growth. Therefore, in order to improve the properties of NGCs, the computational design approach was adopted to investigate the effects of different NGC structural features on their various properties, and finally, design an ideal NGC with mechanical properties matching human nerves and high porosity and permeability. Three common NGC designs, namely hollow luminal, multichannel, and microgrooved, were chosen in this study. Simulations were conducted to study the mechanical properties and permeability. The results show that pore size is the most influential structural feature for NGC tensile modulus. Multichannel NGCs have higher mechanical strength but lower permeability compared to other designs. Square pores lead to higher permeability but lower mechanical strength than circular pores. The study finally selected an optimized hollow luminal NGC with a porosity of 71% and a tensile modulus of 8 MPa to achieve multiple design requirements. The use of computational design and optimization was shown to be promising in future NGC design and nerve tissue engineering research.
