Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Hyaluronan with special linear macromolecular structure and rheologic property has good biocompatibility and becomes a signal matter of the cell surface, which possesses a promising application potential in tissue-engineering field.
OBJECTIVE: To review the research progress in medical hyaluronan composites.
METHODS: Related literatures concerning preparation, safety evaluation and clinical trials of hyaluronan composites were extensively reviewed and comprehensively analyzed in the three following aspects: cartilage scaffold, cornea scaffold and submucous bulking agent.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The hyaluronan composite has a potential use in cartilage scaffold and cornea scaffold as its suitable porosity and pore size, biomimetic three-dimensional microstructure, excellent physical and chemical property and biological property. The hyaluronan composite as a bulking agent has been applied clinically, and results from some clinical trials have shown that the composite used as bulking agent has the problems about low efficacy and complications, which need to do further improvement. More researches are needed in product design, evaluation of performance and safety for expending and optimizing the clinical applications of the hyaluronan composite.
