Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Shape memory polyurethane has good physical and chemical properties and compatibility, but there are relatively few reports on the compatibility of osteoblasts before and after the deformation-complex of the shape memory polyurethane.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the compatibility of osteoblasts with shape memory polyurethane before and after the deformation-complex.
METHODS: Shape memory polyurethane membranes were prepared, and its stretching-solid-complex was conducted under the experimental environment, to obtain the membrane materials after the deformation-complex. The Sprague-Dawley neonatal rat osteoblasts were inoculated on the shape memory polyurethane membranes before and after the deformation-complex. After 2 hours of culture, the number of adherent cells was counted, and cell spreading was observed; cell proliferation was determined after 1-11 days of culture.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The adhesion amount and proliferation activity of osteoblasts on shape memory polyurethane membranes after the deformation-complex were significantly higher than those before the deformation-complex (P < 0.05). The osteoblasts presented fusiform appearance on the shape memory polyurethane membranes after deformation-complex, and cell arrangement showed a clear orientation, but a small spreading area; while the osteoblasts presented polygonal shape on the shape memory polyurethane membranes before deformation-complex, arranged in no particular direction, and spread largely. These findings show the shape memory polyurethane has better osteoblast compatibility after the deformation-complex.
