23 Jul Tissue engineering nerve graft and application thereof
Abstract
The invention discloses a chitosan artificial nerve graft containing a neurotrophic factor and a preparation method thereof. In the chitosan artificial nerve graft, chitosan is processed into a nerve conduit with a porous structure and high tensile strength by performing processes such as weak acid dissolving, injection molding, molding, neutralization fixing, cleaning, freeze drying and the like under the condition of not adding any foaming agent or crosslinking agent. The nerve conduit contains cells or tissues which have treating effects and are included or distributed inside or on the surfaces of tubular body pores, including autologous bone marrow stem cells, autologous bone mesenchymal stem cells, schwann cells or dorsal root ganglion tissues or combinations thereof. A tissue engineering nerve can be used for repairing peripheral nerve defect and can be applied to repairing of spinal cord injury simultaneously.
