[Performance effect of rabbit carotid artery treated with decellularization and photo-oxidation].
2013
OBJECTIVE: To analyze and discuss the feasibility of rabbit carotid artery treated with decellularization and photo-oxidation. METHODS: Sixty vascular slices of rabbit carotid artery were divided into a fresh group, a cryopreservation group, a glutaraldehyde group, and a decellularization plus photo-oxidation group 15 in each group. To evaluate the physical properties of all the rabbit carotid arteries by testing heat-shrinking temperature, tensile stress and the max elongation of each group. Then by buliding subcutaneous embedding model in SD rats we evaluated the biological stability and the anti-calcification function property of the above rabbit carotid arteries, and the detection means included HE stain, atomic absorption spectrometry and Von-Kossa calcium salt stain. RESULTS: The heat-shrinking temperature, tensile stress and the max elongation in the cryopreservation group were lower or shorter than those of the other groups and the difference had statistical significance (P<0.05). Although the heat-shrinking temperature and the tensile stress in the decellularization plus photo-oxidation group were lower or shorter than those in the glutaraldehyde group (P<0.05), the max elongation in the decellularization plus photo-oxidation group was much longer than that in the glutaraldehyde group (P<0.05). The rabbit carotid artery treated with decellularization plus photo-oxidation showed lower immunogenicity and better biological stability and better anti-calcification property compared with the other groups. CONCLUSION: Decellularization associated with photo-oxidation is a suitable and novel protocol for small caliber artery allograft with a diameter of less than 6 mm which is unbreakable to mechanical properties and conducive to biological stability, which has a broad prospect.
