본 연구는 생체적합성 및 생분해성의 특성을 갖는 PLGA (poly lactic-co-glycolic acid)를 이용하여 이중(w/o/w) emlusion과 유화 용매-증발 기법을 통해 PLGA 나노입자(PNP)를 제조하였고, 이에 키토산을 전하 상호작용을 통해 키토산이 코팅된 PLGA 나노입자(CPNP)를 제조하여 입자의 안정성과 생체이용률을 극대화할 수 있는 경구 투여용 약물 전달체로 사용 가능성을 입증하고자 하였다. CPNP의 화학적 구조는 ¹H-NMR 및 FT-IR을 통해 분석하였으며, 모든 특성 피크가 나타남으로써 성공적으로 제조되었음을 확인하였다. 또한, CPNP의 입자 크기, 제타 전위 및 형태학적 이미지는 DLS와 TEM을 이용하여 각각 분석하였으며, TGA를 통해 CPNP의 열적 분해 거동을 관찰하였다. 또한, CPNP의 세포 독성은 HEK293 및 L929 세포에서 MTT assay를 수행하여 확인하였고, 모든 농도에서 70% 이상의 세포 생존율을 확인함으로써 독성이 없음을 입증하였다. 이러한 결과를 통해 본 연구에서 개발된 CPNP가 경구용 약물 전달체로써 사용 가능성이 있음을 제안한다.

용융방사에 의한 선형 폴리락트산(polylactic acid, PLLA) 섬유가공에 있어서 가공 시 PLLA에 가해진 열 이력이 섬유의 기계적 특성과 결정화도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. PLLA의 가공 시 가해진 열 이력에 의하여 PLLA의 분자량이 감소하며 이러한 분자량의 감소는 PLLA 섬유의 배향도 감소와 결정화도의 감소를 유발시킨다. 그 결과, PLLA 섬유의 인장강도와 탄성계수가 감소하며 신율이 증가됨을 확인할 수 있었다. PLLA의 용융방사에서 발현된 결정화는 PLLA의 느린 결정화 속도에 의하여 thermal induced crystallization보다는 stress induced crystallization에 기인함을 알 수 있었다. PLLA 섬유를 열처리하였을 경우, 상대적으로 분자량이 작고 열 이력을 받은 PLLA로 만들어진 섬유가 열 이력을 받지 않은 PLLA로 만들어진 섬유보다 결정화도가 높음을 확인하였다. 이로 보아 열처리에 의한 결정화도의 증가는 stress, Induced crystallization보다는 thermal induced crystallization에 기인함을 알 수 있었다.

Background: Absorbable plates are widely used in open reduction and internal fixation surgeries for facial bone fractures. Absorbable plates are made of polyglycolic acid (PGA), polylactic acid (PLA), polydioxane (PDS), or various combinations of these polymers. The degradation patterns of absorbable plates made from different polymers and clinical courses of patients treated with such plates have not been fully identified. This study aimed to confirm the clinical courses of facial bone fracture patients using absorbable plates and compare the degradation patterns of the plates. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted for 47 cases in 46 patients who underwent open reduction and internal fixation surgery using absorbable plates to repair facial bone fractures. All surgeries used either PLA/PGA composite-based or poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)/hydroxyapatite (HA) composite-based absorbable plates and screws. Clinical courses were confirmed and comparisons were conducted based on direct observation. Results: There were no naturally occurring foreign body reactions. Post-traumatic inflammatory responses occurred in eight patients (nine cases), in which six recovered naturally with conservative treatment. The absorbable plates were removed from two patients. PLA/PGA compositebased absorbable plates degraded into fragments with non-uniform, sharp surfaces whereas PLLA/HA composite-based absorbable plates degraded into a soft powder. Conclusion: PLA/PGA composite-based and PLLA/HA composite-based absorbable plates showed no naturally occurring foreign body reactions and showed different degradation patterns. The absorbable plate used for facial bone fracture surgery needs to be selected in consideration of its degradation patterns.

본 연구에서는 바이오 매스기반의 셀룰로오스 나노크리스탈(cellulose nanocrystals, 이하 CNC)과 PLA (polylactic acid, 이하 PLA)를 tetrahydrofuran (THF)에 용해시킨 서스펜션으로부터 PLA 및 PLA/CNC 나노섬유 복합재 매트를 상온에서 전기방사법으로 제작하였다. PLA 및 PLA/CNC 나노복합재 매트의 형상은 섬유가 긴축을 따라 3차원 구조의 표면으로 정렬된 것으로 관찰되었다. PLA 및 PLA/CNC 나노섬유 복합재 매트의 인장강도는 CNC 함량이 증가할수록 감소하였는데, 이는 전기방사된 섬유 속에 형성된 비드와 PLA와 CNC의 낮은 계면접착력 때문으로 기인된다. PLA/CNC 복합재 매트를 구성하는 섬유의 평균 지름 크기는 CNC의 함량이 증가할수록 작아졌다. 한편 PLA/CNC 나노섬유 복합재 매트의 열안정성은 CNC의 함량이 증가할수록 증가하는 것을 보였다.

Various polylactic acid (PLA) blends were reinforced with untreated or silane-treated micro-sized cellulose fiber (MCF), successfully prepared as 3D printing filaments and then printed using a fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printer. In this study, we focused on developing 3D-printed MCF/PLA composites through silane treatment of MCF and investigating the effect of silane treatment on the various properties of FFF 3D-printed composites. Fourier transform infrared spectra confirmed the increase in hydrophobic properties of silane-treated MCF by showing the new absorption peaks at 1,100 cm^-1, 1,030 cm^-1, and 815 cm^-1 representing C-NH₂, Si-O-Si, and Si-CH₂ bonds, respectively. In scanning electron microscope images of silane-treated MCF filled PLA composites, the improved interfacial adhesion between MCF and PLA matrix was observed. The mechanical properties of the 3D-printed MCF/PLA composites with silane-treated MCF were improved compared to those of the 3D-printed MCF/PLA composites with untreated MCF. In particular, the highest tensile and flexural modulus values were observed for S-MCF10 (5,784.77 MPa) and S-MCF5 (2,441.67 MPa), respectively. The thermal stability of silane-treated MCF was enhanced by delaying the initial thermal decomposition temperature compared to untreated MCF. The thermal decomposition temperature difference at T₉₅ was around 26℃. This study suggests that the effect of silane treatment on the 3D-printed MCF/PLA composites is effective and promising.

In recent tissue engineering field, it is being reported that the fabrication of 3D scaffolds having high porous and controlled internal/external architectures can give potential contributions in cell adhesion, proliferation and differentiation. To fabricate these scaffolds, various solid free-form fabrication technologies are being applied. The solid free-form fabrication technology has made it possible to fabricate solid free-form 3D microstructures in layer-by-layer manner. In this research, we developed a multi-head deposition system (MHDS) and used design of experiment (DOE) to fabricate 3D scaffold having an optimized internal/external shape, Through the organization of experimental approach using DOE, the fabrication process of scaffold, which is composed of blended poly-caprolactone (PCL), poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP), is established to get uniform line width, line height and porosity efficiently Moreover, the feasibility of application to the tissue engineering of MHDS is demonstrated by human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs) proliferation test.

Background: Polymeric nanoparticles are attractive materials that have been widely used in medicine for drug delivery, with therapeutic applications. In our study, polymeric nanoparticles and the anticancer drug, chrysin, were encapsulated into poly (D, L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) poly (ethylene glycol) (PLGA-PEG) nanoparticles for local treatment. Materials and Methods: PLGA: PEG triblock copolymers were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of D, L-lactide and glycolide as an initiator. The bulk properties of these copolymers were characterized using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. In addition, the resulting particles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. Results: The chrysin encapsulation efficiency achieved for polymeric nanoparticles was 70% control of release kinetics. The cytotoxicity of different concentration of pure chrysin and chrysin loaded in PLGA-PEG ($5-640{\mu}M$) on T47-D breast cancer cell line was analyzed by MTT-assay. Conclusions: There is potential for use of these nanoparticles for biomedical applications. Future work should include in vivo investigation of the targeting capability and effectiveness of these nanoparticles in the treatment of breast cancer.

We studied the antibacterial effect and mechanical properties of PLA composites with in organic porous zeolite-type bacteriocides. The specimens were prepared by an intermeshing co-rotating twin screw extruder using different contents of inorganic bacteriocide. The degree of dispersion of the in organic bacteriocide in the PLA composite was confirmed by FE-SEM. The contents of Ag and Zn in the composite were also investigated by energy dispersive spectroscopy at different concentrations of the inorganic bacteriocide. The antibacterial effects were analyzed by turbidity analysis, shaking culture, and drop-test. The mechanical properties, such as the tensile and flexural properties, impact strength, and physical properties, were also investigated. As the content of inorganic bacteriocide increased, the antibacterial activity was increased, especially against Staphylococcus aureus. Mechanical properties, namely, tensile strength, elongation, flexural strength, and impact strength, tended to decrease with an increase in inorganic bacteriocide content, but the tensile and flexural modulus increased.

Objective: To explore effects of paclitaxel-loaded poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) particles on the viability of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) HepG2 cells. Materials and Methods: The viability of HepG2 cells was assessed using MTT under different concentrations of prepared paclitaxel-loaded particles and paclitaxel (6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 mg/L), and apoptosis was analyzed using Hochest33342/Annexin V-FITC/PI combined with an IN Cell Analyzer 2000. Results: Paxlitaxel-loaded nanoparticles were characterized by narrow particle size distribution (158.6 nm average particle size). The survival rate of HepG2 cells exposed to paclitaxel-loaded PLGA particles decreased with the increase of concentration and time period (P<0.01 or P<0.05), the dose- and time-dependence indicating sustained release (P<0.05). Moreover, apoptosis of HepG2 cells was induced, again with an obvious dose- and time-effect relationship (P<0.05). Conclusions: Paclitaxel-loaded PLGA particles can inhibit the proliferation and induce the apoptosis of HCC HepG2 cells. This new-type of paclitaxel carrier body is easily made and has low cost, good nanoparticle characterization and sustained release. Hence, paclitaxel-loaded PLGA particles deserve to be widely popularized in the clinic.
