Abstract

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The collagen and chitosan composite membrane made at a certain percentage can reduce the positive charge of chitosan, improve the adsorption force of chitosan, promote the cell adhesion and growth, migration and proliferation, and enhance the biological properties of chitosan, which has become a very excellent biological material.
OBJECTIVE: To prepare chitosan-collagen composite membrane and observe its histocompatibility with corneal stroma layer.
METHODS: Chitosan-collagen composite membrane was prepared. Totally 16 New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The chitosan-collagen composite membrane was implanted into right eye cornea stroma bag in the experimental group, and the chitosan membrane was implanted into right eye cornea stroma bag in the control group. The slit lamp microscope, anterior segment optical coherence tomography and histological observation were conducted after transplantation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Slit lamp microscope observation results showed that after 8 weeks of transplantation, degradation infiltration was visible in the center of the diaphragm, crease buckling was not obvious in the experimental group; the diaphragm was infiltrated completely and crease buckling was notable in the control group. The anterior segment optical coherence tomography results showed that at the 6th week after
transplantation, the composite membrane boundary was fuzzy, its density was very close to the normal corneal tissue, and the corneal shape recovered to normal in the experimental group. The histological findings showed that after 8 weeks of transplantation, in the experimental group, the membrane surface was degraded a little; biodegradable materials were fused with the corneal stroma; there were a small amount of inflammatory cells infiltrated on the corneal stroma around the iris. In the control group, the membrane degradation was greater than that of the experimental group; degradable substances intertwined and fused with corneal stroma; there were more inflammatory cells infiltrated on the corneal stroma around the iris. These results demonstrate that chitosan-collagen composite membrane has degradability and good histocompatibility.
