Description

Tubular tissue-like structure and method for constructing same
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of biomedical engineering, in particular to a tubular tissue-like structure and a construction method thereof.
Background
The human vascular system is widely distributed, provides transport of nutrient substances, oxygen, hormone and the like of various organs in the human body, and plays an important role in growth, development and function maintenance of tissues and organs of the whole body.
The cardiovascular system exchanges nutrients and oxygen with various organs in the human body. In specific cardiovascular diseases, the replacement transplantation of necrotic blood vessels is sometimes required, but the current artificial blood vessels used as surgical transplantation still cannot perfectly meet the requirements of high biocompatibility, good mechanical property, capability of contraction and relaxation and the like. For example, the current artificial blood vessels with diameter less than 6mm for coronary transplantation still have the problem of low patency rate, and at the same time, the current vascular structures with complex shapes are difficult to customize and manufacture. Thus, vascular architecture has also been a common problem in the biological manufacture of tissues and organs.
The bile duct of human body mainly acts to transport bile secreted by liver cells to duodenum, and helps to digest fatty food. Bile siltation caused by bile duct obstruction, acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis caused by bile duct obstruction, and life threatening may occur. At this time, the use of the bioengineered bile duct may be an alternative to liver transplantation. Therefore, it is also a great demand to construct bioengineering bile ducts with the characteristics of human bile duct structure, structural characteristics, markers and functions (alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyltransferase activity).
The human trachea is used as a pipeline connecting the larynx and the bronchus, is not only a passage of air, but also has the functions of defending, removing foreign matters and adjusting the temperature and the humidity of the air. Laryngotracheal stenosis or defects is a disabling disease that seriously affects the quality of life of people. Resection of the lesion is often required, and post-resection healing is a major clinical problem. The key to solve the problem is to construct a bioengineering trachea with the structural characteristics and functions of the trachea.
The human pancreatic duct drains pancreatic juice to the duodenum, helping to digest food. Pancreatic duct blockage can cause poor drainage of pancreatic juice, which can induce acute pancreatitis. In addition, the human body has other tubular organs such as ureter, lymphatic vessel, intestinal vessel, etc. once these vascular organs are diseased, the health of the human body may be seriously affected. At present, the in vitro transplantation by using the tubular biological structure body is a common method. Therefore, the construction of a tubular tissue with certain mechanical properties and biological properties is a great clinical requirement, and is also a research focus of tissue engineering.
Biological 3D printing, defined as the use of material containing viable cells for 3D printing technology. The biological printing technology can arrange a large amount of active cells and active biological materials at a pre-designed spatial position according to a bionic principle and computer design, and has great advantages in the construction of various tissues and organs of a human body. However, it is still a problem to be solved that the printing of the tubular tissue with personalized structure size (diameter, thickness, length, curvature, etc.) and corresponding mechanical and biological properties, etc. to meet clinical requirements is still needed. Therefore, development of new cell printing processes is urgently needed for more complex in vitro tissues, particularly for longer tubular structures, such as blood vessels, trachea, bile ducts, laryngeal tubes, and the like. Realizing the respective control and controllable delivery of various materials and the stable manufacture of a longer tubular structure.
