    摘要: Provided are a chitin whisker-enhanced hyaluronic acid cell scaffold and a preparation method thereof. Components of the cell scaffold include chitin whiskers and cross-linked hyaluronic acid. The chitin whisker-enhanced hyaluronic acid cell scaffold is obtained by dispersing chitin whiskers into deionized water using ultrasound, followed by addition of hyaluronic acid and uniform mixing to obtain an aqueous solution, adjusting a pH value of the aqueous solution to be in a range of 4.0 to 6.0, subjecting the aqueous solution to a cross-linking reaction, dialyzing a reaction product in a phosphate buffer solution, and freeze drying a resulting product. The chitin whisker-enhanced hyaluronic acid cell scaffold and the preparation method thereof can increase a mechanical property and a resistance to degradation of a scaffold material and expand an application scope of hyaluronic acid cell scaffolds.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a collagen and sodium hyaluronate cross-linked composite filler for injection and a preparation method thereof. The collagen and sodium hyaluronate cross-linked composite filler is obtained by a cross-linking reaction of collagen and sodium hyaluronate with a 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride/N-hydroxysuccinimide (EDC/NHS) cross-linking system. As the EDC/NHS is used as a cross-linking agent in the present disclosure, the resulting product has no biological toxicity, so that the injury caused by a final product to an injection site and the human body is reduced. Meanwhile, due to intramolecular and intermolecular cross-linking, the degradation rate of the collagen and the sodium hyaluronate is reduced, and the retention time of the two in the body is prolonged. Therefore, the collagen and sodium hyaluronate cross-linked composite filler for injection in the present disclosure can be used in plastic surgery in the medical industry.

    摘要: Provided is a gradient injection containing a mixture of polymer microspheres. The injection is a freeze-dried powder composed of a filler, cross-linked sodium hyaluronate microspheres, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) microspheres, and an excipient. The powder can be mixed with sterile water and then used for injection cosmetology. A triple gradient effectiveness is provided by mixing the filler, the cross-linked sodium hyaluronate microspheres, and the PLLA microspheres to improve the subcutaneous capacity of human skin and repair skin wrinkles, folds, scars, and aging. The gradient injection is also suitable for repairing large-volume facial fat loss without adverse reactions such as nodules and granulomas.

    摘要: The present disclosure discloses a cross-linked hydrogel microneedle for transdermal drug delivery and a method for preparing the same. The preparation method includes the following steps: mixing a polyvinyl alcohol solution and a hyaluronic acid solution; freeze-thawing the mixed solution in a mold to obtain a gel with no fluidity; and demolding the gel and further performing irradiation cross-linking to obtain the cross-linked hydrogel microneedle. The preparation method described in the present disclosure overcomes the problem of poor stability that exists in the preparation by a freeze-thaw method and the problem of easy introduction of air bubbles that exists in the preparation by an irradiation method, and can increase the yield of the microneedles, which is conducive to mass production. The prepared microneedles can be transported and stored for a long time and have wide application prospects.

    摘要: The invention discloses a thiolated chitosan and a preparation method thereof, which is chitosan co-modified by hydroxybutyl and sulfhydryl. The preparation method includes the following steps: firstly, hydroxybutyl is introduced into a chitosan molecular chain, and then sulfhydryl is introduced as a sulfhydryl moiety by a condensation reaction between free amino of hydroxybutyl chitosan and carboxyl of L-cysteine. An aqueous solution of the thiolated chitosan of the invention is in a solution state at low temperature, and can be flow-injected. When the temperature rises to around 37° C., a hydrogel can be formed. Due to the introduction of sulfhydryl, the antioxidant ability and tissue adhesion ability of the material are increased. The thiolated chitosan prepared according to the method may have wide application prospects in an aspect such as tissue engineering, drug delivery systems, cell culture, cosmetics, etc.
