中文摘要 | Multimicrotubule chitosan conduits (M-conduits) were fabricated using novel molds and a thermal-induced phase-separation technique. Hollow chitosan conduits (H-conduits) with an inner diameter of 1-5 mm and a wall thickness of 0.2-1.0 mm were made, and then a novel mold composed of a styrofoam insulating pedestal with several holes and a stainless steel cover plate was used to make M-conduits. In brief, corresponding H-conduits were inserted upright into the holes of the styrofoam pedestal, and filled with chitosan solution, then rapidly covered with the precooled stainless steel cover plate, and then placed in a freezer. The styrofoam insulating pedestal enclosing the conduits could reduce the heat transfer through the side wall of the conduits. Gradual phase separation then occurred uniaxially in the presence of a unidirectional temperature gradient from the top end to the bottom end of the chitosan conduits. The phase-separated polymer/solvent systems were then dried in a freeze-dryer. The microtubule diameters were controlled by adjusting the polymer concentration and cooling temperature. In vitro characterization demonstrated that the mold-based multimicrotubule chitosan conduits possessed suitable mechanical strength, microtubule\ diameter distribution, porosity, swelling, biodegradability, and nerve cell affinity, and so they showed potential for application as nerve tissue engineering scaffolds.
