Background
At present, materials for repairing abdominal walls at home and abroad are mainly divided into two categories. The first category is biological materials such as autologous fascia, diaphragm, dura mater, amniotic membrane, and the like. The second type is non-biological materials, such as carbon fiber mesh, dacron, artificial polymer materials and the like. The non-biological material, namely the artificially synthesized patch material, has sufficient mechanical property and strong flexibility, can be continuously adjusted according to requirements, but lacks biological activity, is not degradable, and is easy to form tissue wrapping and chronic inflammation stimulation. Such as polypropylene, is widely used due to its high tensile strength, but has the defect of easy formation of scar tissue in or around the fibers of the patch material, often resulting in severe adhesion of abdominal contents, and thus causing complications such as pain, intestinal obstruction, intestinal perforation and intestinal fistula.
The most significant source of biological patches is body parts other than skin, such as bovine or equine pericardium or porcine small intestine submucosa. The porcine Small Intestinal Submucosa (SIS) is a very strong extracellular matrix, comprises type I and type III collagen with the content of more than 90 percent, also contains a small amount of type IV, V and VI collagen and various cytokines, and is very similar to the abdominal tissues of a human body. The acellular porcine small intestine submucosa tissue serving as a biological derivative material has good biocompatibility, is a good tissue repair material, is widely used for repairing soft tissue defects, and can promote tissue reconstruction. However, SIS is also poor in biomechanical strength and mechanical properties due to its origin and inherent characteristics. However, the tissue repair material needs a certain strength of mechanical force, for example, a biological patch is implanted after a breast plastic operation, which can play a role of fixing and supporting, so that the displacement of the prosthesis is reduced, and if the mechanical property of the patch is insufficient, the sufficient mechanical property cannot be provided, and the operation fails.
The PLCL (poly-L-lactide-caprolactone) is a hydrophobic aliphatic polyester copolymer, has good mechanical strength, biocompatibility and degradation performance, is a common electrostatic spinning material, and has quite a plurality of results with scientific research values in the application of blood vessel and esophageal tissue engineering. The tissue engineering blood vessel constructed by PLCL has been applied to the treatment of congenital heart diseases as early as 2001, and has a precedent of successful implantation at present.
Currently, studies have been made to combine biological and non-biological materials, and the method adopted is to cover an Extracellular Matrix (ECM) gel uniformly on a polypropylene patch to produce a hybrid patch. The patch synthesized by the method indeed enhances the mechanical property, but simultaneously sacrifices the three-dimensional space structure of extracellular matrix, and the polypropylene material still remains in the body and still induces the chronic inflammatory reaction.
In recent years, after metal silver is processed into nano-scale silver particles by utilizing a nano technology, the nano-scale silver particles show obvious surface effect, small-size effect and macroscopic tunnel effect, and the antibacterial activity is greatly enhanced. Nano-silver (NS) as an antibacterial material is applied to medical catheters, internal fixation instruments, wound dressings and the like, and silver particles are gradually released along with the degradation of biological materials after the nano-silver is implanted into a body, so that the nano-silver can permanently play the roles of antibacterial colonization and infection resistance, and is beneficial to the infiltration growth of host cells and the regeneration of blood vessels. Foreign research finds that: the dressing containing nano silver is used locally, so that the wound healing can be accelerated, the appearance of scar healing can be improved, and the effect is very ideal.
