Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that the complex of polyethylene glycol diacrylate and chitosan is biodegradable, has the anti-inflammation effect and can promote wound healing, with good biocompatibility. However, the composite material is brittle, and thus, it is necessary to develop a mechanical support material due to the anatomy of the nasal cavity.
OBJECTIVE: To study the cytocompatibility of a novel degradable absorbable nasal packing material made of polyethylene glycol diacrylate composite hydrogel.
METHODS: In our experiment, the composite hydrogel was formed by the combination of different ratios of polyethyleneglycol diacrylate, chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol using photo-crosslinking method. According to the international standard of medical devices, we used direct and indirect international standard experimental methods to evaluate the cytotoxicity of the materials. (1) Direct contact method: the polyethylene glycol acrylate composite hydrogel and mouse fibroblasts L929 were co-cultured for 24 hours to observe the morphological changes of cells. (2) Indirect extraction: mouse fibroblasts L929 were cultured in polyethylene glycol diacrylate composite hydrogel extracts (100, 50 μL) and RPMI1640 medium (100 μL), respectively, for 3 days to observe the proliferation and cytotoxicity by cell counting kit-8 assay.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Direct contact method: the cells around the material formed a flat structure with fusiform or stellated protrudes. The material was confirmed to have good biocompatibility depending upon the presence of adherent cell growth, full and strong refraction, and the overall growth trend. (2) Indirect extraction method: with the increase of time, the number of cells in the hydrogel extract group increased, the relative proliferation rate of cells increased gradually, and the cytotoxicity was 0 to 1. To conclude, these experimental findings indicate that the polyethylene glycol acrylate composite hydrogel material has good cytocompatibility.
