In vitro surface characterization of a biological patch fixed with a naturally occurring crosslinking agent
BIOMATERIALS(2000)
摘要
The study was designed to characterize the surface properties (including water contact angle, surface tension, protein adsorption, platelet adhesion, and cellular compatibility) of a biological patch fixed with genipin, a naturally occurring crosslinking agent. Fresh and glutaraldehyde-fixed counterparts were used as controls. It was found that both glutaraldehyde and genipin are effective crosslinking agents for biological tissue fixation. Fixation of biological tissue with glutaraldehyde or genipin significantly increased its hydrophilicity and surface tension and reduced its mol ratio of adsorbed fibrinogen to adsorbed albumin as well as the amount of adhered platelet. There were no significant differences in hydrophilicity, surface tension, the mole ratio of adsorbed fibrinogen to adsorbed albumin, and the amount of platelet adhesion between the glutaraldehyde- and genipin-fixed tissues. However, the cellular compatibilities of fresh and the genipin-fixed tissues were significantly superior to the glutaraldehyde-fixed tissue. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
