常用的有硅酮类和金属类支架,不论是硅酮、还是金属支架,作为一种异物在气管腔内,均可引起气管组织的慢性损伤,造成管壁组织的萎缩、反应性的内膜增生甚至引起周围组织的损伤[1-3]。
生物可降解材料的发展,为解决支架机械性损伤和材料相关性并发症提供了可能。
目前,美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)批准了数个生物可降解材料,如聚二恶烷酮(polydioxanone, PDO),聚L-乳酸(poly-L-lactic acid)和聚己内酯(polycaprolactone),制造医用材料应用于临床。
近年来,也被尝试应用于气管支架的研制[4-6]。
动物实验表明,可降解气管支架,也有适宜的机械性能,同样能够达到维持气道通畅,但有几个问题尚未解决,一是材料相关性并发症未完全避免,如降解产物或其碎片对气道的阻塞;二是气道分泌物较多和黏稠;三是即便是同一种材料,降解的时间有较大的差异。
尽管如此,临床上尝试应用可降解支气管支架也取得了良好的效果,如PDO支架被应用于肺移植后期或生长期儿童的气管狭窄,进一步激发了研究者的兴趣[7-9]。
其最大的优势是能够自行降解,避免再次取出。
PDO材料是生物可降解材料,已经被制作成医用缝线和各类管道(血管支架、胆管支架、胃肠支架等)等应用于临床[10-12]。
先前,利用PDO制作的网状补片,应用于大面积胸壁缺损的动物实验研究,发现术后犬胸壁稳定,呼吸和运动功能良好,伤口愈合良好。
证明其具有足够的机械性能和较长的降解时间,以及良好的生物相容性[13]。
在另一个实验中,应用PDO材料,采用编织技术中的基本纱罗结构成功制造了多种管状支架,具有良好的机械性能、径向支撑力和弹性回缩率[14]。
本研究目的是评估PDO气管支架,与离体兔颈部气管进行力学性能的比较;同时,进行动物实验,将支架植入健康的新西兰大白兔,进行气管镜、电子显微镜扫描等观察,以期望证明具有良好的生物降解性和适用性。
