Abstract

This study evaluated the manufacturing method and anti-adhesion properties of a new composite mesh in the rat model, which was made from sirolimus (SRL) grafts on a poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA)-modified polypropylene (PP) hernia mesh. PLLA was first grafted onto argon-plasma-treated native PP mesh through catalysis of stannous chloride. SRL was grafted onto the surface of PP-PLLA meshes using catalysis of 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) in a CH2Cl2 solvent. Sprague-Dawley female rats received either SRL-coated meshes, PP-PLLA meshes, or native PP meshes to repair abdominal wall defects. At different intervals, rats were euthanized by a lethal dose of chloral hydrate and adhesion area and tenacity were evaluated. Sections of the mesh with adjacent tissues were assessed histologically. Attenuated total reflection Fourier transformed infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy indicated the existence of a C=O group absorption peak (1724.1 cm-1), and scanning electron microscope morphological analysis indicated that the surface of the PP mesh was covered with SRL. Compared to the native PP meshes and PP-PLLA meshes, SRL-coated meshes demonstrated the greatest ability to decrea...Continue Reading
