After the drying is finished, the sample is immediately transferred to a box furnace (MF-1200C, Anhui Beideke apparatus and technology Co., Ltd.) and sintered at different sintering temperatures and different sintering times, so as to explore the influence of different sintering conditions on the preparation of the coating.

And after taking out the stent graft from the oven, sleeving the PTFE film on a mandrel, sleeving a heat-shrinkable tube on the PTFE film, adjusting a hot air gun (DH-HG2-2000, Deleisi electric Co., Ltd.) to 150 ℃ to heat the shrinkable tube, so that the PTFE film and the metal stent are shrunk more tightly, and thus the PTFE film-coated stent is obtained.

Testing and characterization
1. Topography analysis
FIG. 2 is a microscopic view of electrospun precursor membranes of varying PTFE to PEO ratios in the dope with PEO as the binding component to allow PTFE particles to bind together under electrostatic spraying to form continuous fibers. As can be seen from fig. 2, when the PEO content in the spinning dope is small, continuous fibers cannot be formed. Fiber breakage was significant when PTFF: PEO was 99:1 (FIG. 2 a); the fiber breaking point decreased when the PEO content was gradually increased, with a PTFF: PEO of 98:2 (FIG. 2 b); when the ratio of PTFF to PEO was increased to 97:3, a continuous, unbroken fiber was formed, keeping the total solid content of the dope constant (fig. 2 c).
2. Thermal analysis
The PTFE/PEO precursor film prepared by electrostatic spinning is fluffy and has poor mechanical property, contains PEO, and can be sintered and removed to obtain a PTFE coated film with certain mechanical strength. It is therefore necessary to find a suitable sintering temperature by performing DSC and TG tests on the sample.
As can be seen from the DSC curve of FIG. 3(a), the melting point of the PTFE particles is 335.5 ℃; it can be seen in the TG curve of FIG. 3(b) that the PTFE particles start to decompose at 480 ℃; the pure PEO powder starts to decompose at 210 ℃ and is completely decomposed at 400 ℃; the TG curve of the PTFE/PEO precursor film showed a two-step mass loss, corresponding to the decomposition of PEO and PTFE, respectively, where the thermal decomposition temperature of the PEO component was consistent with the thermal decomposition temperature of the pure PEO powder. Therefore, the sintering temperature can be selected to be 335.5-480 ℃, in the temperature range, PEO is thermally decomposed, and PTFE can be melted to fill the gap left after PEO is decomposed, so that the PTFE fiber is connected into a complete PTFE fiber.
3. Fourier transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis
The substantial removal of water and PEO from the polytetrafluoroethylene film after sintering was demonstrated by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and the results are shown in figure 4. As can be seen from the figure, the precursor film before sintering has distinct PEO characteristic peaks: at 962cm-1And 1105cm-1A spectral band appears, thisAsymmetric CO stretching vibration due to PEO, 1350cm-1And 1467cm-1The band appearing here corresponds to CH of PEO2Vibration, 2880cm-1The band appearing at (a) corresponds to the CH stretch of PEO. No PEO peak was observed in the sintered film, while both the precursor film and the sintered film were 1201cm-1And 1145cm-1The maximum peak was observed, which corresponds to CF in PTFE2The asymmetric stretching and the symmetric stretching of (a), which indicates that PEO in the precursor film has been removed, at least not detectable by FTIR measurement.
4. Analysis of mechanical Properties
The covered membrane part of the covered membrane stent for the endoluminal isolation operation also has better mechanical property. In the PTFE/PEO precursor membrane, PEO only serves as a connecting component of PTFE particles and has no effect on bearing tension, so that PEO needs to be removed, the PTFE particles are melted and gaps existing in PEO are filled, and finally, the complete, continuous and strong PTFE fiber membrane is obtained. Therefore, after the sintering temperature range is determined according to DSC and TG tests, the influence of the sintering temperature and the sintering time on the mechanical property of the PTFE coating is further researched. Different sintering temperatures are set: 360 ℃, 380 ℃ and 400 ℃; and different sintering times: 5min, 10min and 15 min.
Fig. 5(a) is a stress histogram for materials made at different sintering times and different sintering temperatures, and fig. 5(b) is a strain histogram for materials made at different sintering times and different sintering temperatures. As can be seen from the figure, the stress strain of the PTFE film is smaller when the sintering temperature is 360 ℃ than when the sintering temperature is 380 ℃, the sintering time is shorter (5min) or longer (15min), and the stress strain of the film is smaller than that of the sintering time which is 10min, because the PTFE is incompletely molten due to the lower sintering temperature or the short sintering time, and cannot enter a nano cavity generated after the decomposition of PEO components, so that the fibers are incomplete, and the mechanical property of the fibers is poor; and the long sintering time can cause the fiber to shrink, thereby having poor mechanical properties. When the sintering temperature is 380 ℃, the stress and the strain of the PTFE film are better; when the sintering temperature is increased to 400 ℃, the stress and strain of the PTFE film are obviously reduced, because the mechanical property is reduced due to severe shrinkage fracture of the fiber caused by overhigh sintering temperature. Therefore, in summary, the sintering temperature is 380 ℃, and the sintering time is 10min, so that the composite material has the optimal tensile mechanical property.
5. Water permeability analysis
The water permeability is an important characterization index of the covered stent for the endoluminal isolation, reflects the impermeability of the vessel wall to blood after the stent is implanted into a body, and needs to prepare the covered stent with good permeability. Since the water permeability of the coating film is closely related to the thickness thereof, the larger the thickness is, the higher the degree of pore coverage is, and the less the water permeation amount is. PTFE tubular tectorial membrane stents with different thicknesses are prepared, and the water osmotic pressure and the whole water flux are respectively tested by a self-built water permeability device, and the results are shown in Table 1.
As can be seen from Table 1, when the thickness is about 0.1mm, the water osmotic pressure is about 0.012MPa, slightly less than but close to 0.016 MPa; and the total water flux per unit time in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 10min flowing through the effective length of the blood vessel wall is 0.02-0.03mL cm under 0.016MPa-2·min-1In between, all are far less than the standard specified 100mL cm-2·min-1Therefore, the covered stent can not leak a large amount of blood under normal blood pressure after being actually implanted into a human body, and simultaneously can have a small amount of blood infiltration to ensure the growth of an inner membrane and the supply of nutrition of an outer membrane; when the thickness is increased to about 0.14mm, the water osmotic pressure is increased to 0.023MPa which is higher than the blood pressure of a human body, so that the osmosis can not occur, and the whole water flux at each time point under 0.016MPa is 0, which is not beneficial to the growth of the intima. Therefore, when the thickness is about 0.1mm, the water permeability is satisfactory.
TABLE 1 osmotic pressure and Total Water Permeability of PTFE tubular Stent covered with a Membrane of different thickness
7. Experimental analysis of hemolysis
The hemolysis of the material is judged by measuring the degree of damage to red blood cells during the extracorporeal contact of the material with blood. If the material is poor in hemocompatibility, it is highly likely that erythrocytes are ruptured, and hemolysis occurs. The hemolysis experiment is an important index for evaluating the blood compatibility of the biological material. According to the standard ISO 10993-4, the hemolysis rate of the material is less than 5%, and the material is considered to meet the requirements of biomedical materials.
As shown in Table 2, the hemolysis rate of the PTFE tubular stent graft is 2.84%, which is less than 5%, indicating that the material is safe and does not cause hemolysis.
TABLE 2 hemolysis test results for PTFE-coated and tubular-shaped stent grafts
Material | Absorbance of the solution | Rate of hemolysis |
PTFE tubular tectorial membrane stent | 0.048±0.002 | 2.84% |
Negative control | 0.026±0.003 | 0.00% |
Positive control | 0.776±0.007 | 100% |
6. Cytotoxicity assays
The biomaterial should have good cell compatibility, i.e., adaptability between the material and the attachment and growth of cells. The good cell compatibility of the material can promote the adhesion endothelialization of vascular endothelial cells on the surface of the material, and a vascular endothelial layer structure is formed in a short time. HUVECs cells are planted on the surface of the material, and the growth condition of endothelial cells of the material is observed.
FIG. 6 is a graph of MTT proliferation of cells on different materials, and it can be seen that the number of cells on the tubular stent graft and the blank control sample all showed a tendency to increase with the increase of the culture time, and the growth rate of the cells on the tubular stent graft was faster; on day 7, the number of cells on the stent graft was greater than that of the blank control, demonstrating good cell compatibility.
The cell growth on the material was qualitatively characterized by laser confocal and scanning electron microscopy, as shown in fig. 7. It can be seen that on day 1 of cell seeding, the cells were more evenly distributed on the slide (FIG. 7d), while on the tubular stent graft (FIG. 7a), the cells adhered more to the portion near the metal stent than to the stent graft, which also demonstrates that the TPU adhesive used in the present invention is cell compatible. By day 3, similar to the MTT test results, cell proliferation was more clearly seen, and more cells were also adhered to the tubular stent graft at the graft portion. By day 7 (fig. 7c, f), a large number of cells adhered to the surface of each material, exhibiting a sheet-like adhesion phenomenon, indicating the onset of endothelialization.
FIG. 8 is an SEM image of HUVECs cells grown on a tubular stent graft and a glass slide. As can be seen, on day 1 (FIGS. 7a and d), the number of cell adhesions on the surface of each material was small, and it can be seen from the SEM image at 2000 magnification that the cells were not spread. As the culture time increased, by day 3 (fig. 7b, e), the number of cells on the surface of each material increased and many cells began to form cell clumps, fused together, and gradually formed a monolayer of cells adhering to the fiber mesh and the slide. After 7 days of culture (fig. 7c, f), HUVECs cells had spread over the entire fiber mesh and cell slide, and very significantly a monolayer of cells was visible covering the surface of the material. These results demonstrate that the tubular stent-graft is not toxic to HUVECs cells and can support the adhesion and proliferation of endothelial cells.
In conclusion, the PTFE-PEO electrostatic spinning solution is prepared by stirring the PTFE dispersion emulsion and the PEO aqueous solution, and then the PTFE coating film obtained by electrostatic spinning, vacuum drying and sintering can ensure that PEO components in the PTFE coating film are basically removed and has good mechanical properties. And then the tubular PTFE coated membrane directly prepared is bonded and thermally shrunk and reinforced to obtain the tubular coated stent, and tests prove that the tubular coated stent has good water permeability, the hemolysis rate is lower than 5 percent, and the blood compatibility is good. In vitro cell experiments show that the PTFE tubular tectorial membrane stent supports HUVECs cell adhesion and proliferation, and has no cytotoxicity. The PTFE tubular tectorial membrane stent has potential application value in the field of vascular tectorial membrane stents.
