Abstract:
The present invention relates to radiation cross-linked collagen gel, and a preparation method and usage method thereof. To this end, the present invention comprises a cross-linked collagen material made by irradiating liquid collagen with radioactive rays, wherein the concentration of said collagen is specifically 0.1-10% (W/V), and the radiation dose (dose rate×time) is 0.1-40 kGy on the basis of 1 kGy/hr. The present invention configured as above can prepare a formulated collagen gel using a physical cross-linking method instead of a chemical cross-linking method, specifically carries out the formulation by mixing biocompatible materials, and provides a method capable of using a cross-linked collagen hydrogel in wound dressings, graft materials, cell cultures and the like. Therefore, the present invention provides an industrially convenient and safe preparation method, thereby instilling a good image to a customer by greatly improving the quality and confidence in the products.
Abstract:
An aseptic/sterile medical kits are comprising a cartilage regeneration kit, a bone regeneration kit or an umbilical cord blood storage kit in a configuration that each process performs according to functionally-specialized kit sets for each step, via division of overall processes into corresponding steps for isolation, culture, collection and storage of cells, and implantation of desired cells into target sites of the body. The cartilage is regenerated by cartilage tissue collection; chondrocyte isolation; chondrocyte medium change and subculture; preparation of chondrocyte therapy product; media for isolation/culture/preparation/cryopreservation of cells; and media for isolation/culture/cryopreservation of cells, using the cartilage regeneration kit. The bone is regenerated by bone marrow collection; osteoblast isolation; osteoblast medium change and subculture; and preparation of osteoblast therapy product, using the bone regeneration kit. Additionally, the umbilical cord blood is stored by umbilical cord blood collection; hematopoietic stem cell isolation; and cryopreservation of hematopoietic stem cells, using the umbilical cord blood storage kit.
Abstract:
Cell manipulation and cultivation equipment for the production of cell therapy products has developed for preventing contamination of cells and improving the utility of a space. The equipment includes a room for the production and testing of cell therapy products, the room having an inner space enclosed in all sides and an outer entrance/exit door provided at any one side thereof, an L-shaped partition installed in a position of the room for the production and testing of cell therapy products, the partition having an inner entrance/exit door provided at any one side thereof, and a clean bench device placed inside the partition, the clean bench device including first, second, and third clean benches for preventing contamination of cells and increasing the utility of a space to the maximum extent. The operating of the clean room and clean bench has advantages to prevent contamination and improving the quality and reliability of cell therapy products.
Abstract:
An apparatus for operating a syringe piston is developed, which is comprised of: a syringe mounting section for fixedly holding a syringe, a thread hole formed at an upper head part of the syringe mounting section, and a piston press unit having a threaded rod, which is inserted into the thread hole so that the syringe piston press unit can move up and down along the thread hole, a locking slot for fixedly inserting and retaining the medicine filled syringe, a semi-cylindrical tube to assemble with the syringe mounting section. The syringe filled with medical cement is attached to the syringe mounting section and the syringe piston is moved downward with no reverse movement when the piston press unit is rotated, so the medical cement contained in the syringe is injected with a constant pressure, so that a predetermined amount of medical cement is precisely injected into a patient's body.
Abstract:
A facility module is provided for producing and storing a cell therapy product comprising: a Cell Therapy (CT) module one including separately prefabricated units having specific functions and separate entrances and exits so as to minimize contamination, and being capable of producing the cell therapy product, and a Banking of Cell and Tissue (BC) module Two including prefabricated units having specific functions and separate entrances and exits so as to minimize contamination, and being capable of appropriately storing hematopoietic stem cells, bone marrow cells and other cells for a prolonged period. It enables easy and low cost production of the cell therapy product, with sufficient quality to be transplanted into patients, within a short period, and permits clinical application to patients expeditiously. The present invention enables convenient installation and use of such a facility module anywhere adequate space is available, by providing the facility in a prefabricated module composed of specialized units according to function.
Abstract:
A method for separation the collagen from the various animal tissues is disclosed for preparing collagen solution and product using the same. The porcine tissues are processed to have proper form and size for acid-treatment. The acid-treatment is repeated with pepsin to separate type I or II collagens. The separated collagen is salt-treated for fractionation and ethanol-treated for obtaining 5˜10% of collagen from the initial tissue weight. The prepared tissues are processed for separating collagen through the collagen separating process. The separated collagen is processed for preparing product. The method for preparing product is comprised: treating a collagen solution having a predetermined concentration under a neutral condition at a low temperature, followed by overnight treatment at a temperature of 30 to 35° C.; concentrating collagen by centrifugation; and dissolving the thus-concentrated collagen in refrigerated weakly-acidic solvent or phosphate buffered saline (PBS), thereby preparing collagen having a concentration of 1 to 5 mg/mL.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition for repairing cartilage tissue, to a method for producing same, and to the use thereof. The present invention provides a composition for repairing cartilage tissue, which is obtained by mixing collagen and hyaluronic acid using a two-way syringe or a mixer, wherein the collagen has a diluted concentration of 5-60 mg/mL excepting water or a physiological phosphate buffer solution, and the hyaluronic acid has a diluted concentration of 5-20 mg/mL excepting water or a physiological phosphate buffer solution.
Abstract:
A cartilage therapeutic composition is developed for clinical transplantation into articulatio genu (knee joints) or ankle joints. It has clinical significance for symptomatic cartilage defects of the femoral condyle (medial, lateral, or trochlear) and bone cartilage defects of the talus (anklebone) in human or animal hosts, The cartilage therapeutic composition comprises a mixture of components of chondrocytes isolated and expanded or differentiated from a host such as a human or animal, and thrombin and a fibrinogen matrix containing fibrinogen. An application of the cartilage therapeutic composition is that a mixture of thrombin, chondrocyte components and a fibrinogen matrix is injected into a cartilage defect region followed by solidification therein. It provides rapid healing and effective regeneration of cartilage without surgical operation. It has the merits of safety and simplicity by allowing the use of an arthroscope for transplantation.
