Abstract:

BACKGROUND: A new type of nano-hydroxyapatite artificial mechanical heart valve has been developed using pulsed laser deposition technology at the Department of Materials, Hefei University and Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China. 
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the compatibility of nano-hydroxyapatite artificial mechanical heart valve with human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
METHODS: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were in vitro isolated, cultured and passaged to the 2-4 generations, and then the cell suspension was inoculated onto the nano-hydroxyapatite artificial mechanical heart valve. After 3, 7, 12 days of culture, the cell growth on the artificial mechanical heart valve was observed under scanning electron microscope. In addition, the human umbilical vein endothelial cells were respectively cultured in room-temperature and high-temperature extract liquids of nano-hydroxyapatite artificial mechanical heart valve, high-density polyethylene and phenol solution extracts for 72 hours, and then, the proliferation of cells was detected by MTT method.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Under the scanning electron microscope, the human umbilical vein endothelial cells were fusiform- or polygon-shaped with protuberances adhered to the artificial mechanical heart value at 3 days of culture; the cells were stretched thoroughly and fused at 7 days of culture; and the cells were confluent to pieces that tightly overlaid the heart valve surface and the extracellular matrix was formed locally at 21 days of culture. Results from MTT test displayed that the nano-hydroxyapatite artificial mechanical heart valve had no cytotoxicity to the human umbilical vein endothelial cells, indicating a good cytocompatibility.
