Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] [0001] The present invention relates to a method for preparing a nerve graft, and more particularly to a method for preparing a nerve graft for transplantation of an organism. [Prior Art] [0002] 〇〇[0003] 099143853 The nervous system is mainly composed of neurons (neurons) and neuron glial cells, which form a complex and specific communication domain to establish links with other tissues or organs. For functional coordination. In the nervous system, neurons receive stress, conduct and rotate neurotransmitters (neuron transmit ter) for tissue or organ communication, while glial cells perform neuronal physical support, nutrient supply, and Adjust the functionality of communication messages and other features. The neuron includes two parts, the cell body and the neurite. The neurites extend from the cell body and grow toward other neurons or other cells (eg, muscle cells), in which the neurites Divided into axon (axon) and dendrites (dendrite). In general, the stimulus is received by the dendrites and transmits impulses to the cell body, and the impulse is transmitted through the axons to the end of the axis, and the conductive material is released to touch the cells. Since the nervous system plays a coordinating role between tissues and organs within the biopterin, its importance is self-evident. Previously, neurological deficits due to impaired nervous system were clinically common disabling diseases. Among them, the implantation of a nerve graft to repair a damaged nervous system is an important means for neurosurgery to repair nervous system damage caused by various conditions. The previous nerve graft was bridged, and the neural tube at both ends of the damaged part of the god (four) system was made of biodegradable material.

Neurons at one end of the damaged portion of the nervous system grow neurites along the inner wall of the neural tube to reach the other end of the damaged portion of the nervous system. [0004] Generally, the length of the damaged portion that needs to be repaired by implanting the neural tube is long, and the growth process of the neurite is very slow, so the nerve tube is used to repair the damage. The nervous system requires a longer repair time. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a method for preparing a nerve graft, and the nerve graft prepared by the preparation method can reduce the repair time of the damaged nervous system.

In the step S1Q, the carbon nanotube film structure may extend substantially parallel to the surface of the carbon nanotube film structure by a plurality of carbon nanotubes. Preferably, the plurality of carbon nanotubes are connected by a Van der Waals force to form a self-supporting structure. The so-called "self-supporting" means that the carbon nanotube membrane structure can maintain its own specific shape without being disposed on the surface of a substrate, and a large number of carbon nanotubes pass through the self-supporting carbon nanotube membrane structure. The wattages are attracted to each other, so that the nano-membrane structure has a specific shape and forms a self-selective structure. When the carbon nanotube membrane structure is a self-supporting structure, the carbon nanotube membrane structure may be a membrane-like structure formed by at least one carbon nanotube membrane, and when the carbon nanotube membrane structure comprises a plurality of nanometer membrane structures In the case of the carbon nanotube film, the plurality of carbon nanotube films are stacked, and the adjacent carbon nanotube films are combined by van der Waals force.

In any shape without breaking. Moreover, since the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube rolled film are attracted to each other by the van der Waals force, the carbon nanotube film is a self-supporting structure. The carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube rolled film form an angle with the surface of the growth substrate forming the carbon nanotube array, wherein the cold is greater than or equal to 0 degrees and less than or equal to 15 degrees, and the angle is called and applied. The pressure on the carbon nanotube array is related. The larger the pressure, the smaller the angle. Preferably, the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube rolled film are aligned parallel to the growth substrate. The carbon nanotube rolled film is obtained by rolling a carbon nanotube array, and the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube rolled film have different arrangements depending on the manner of rolling. Specifically, the carbon nanotubes can be arranged in disorder; please 099143853 Form No. A0101 Page 7 / Total 41 Page 0992075908-0 201224146 Referring to Figure 3, when rolling in different directions, the carbon nanotubes are arranged in different directions. When rolled in the same direction, the carbon nanotubes are arranged in a preferred orientation along a fixed direction. The length of the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube rolled film is greater than 50 microns. [0016] The area of the carbon nanotube rolled film is substantially the same as the size of the carbon nanotube array. The thickness of the carbon nanotube film is in relation to the height of the carbon nanotube array and the pressure of the rolling, and may be between 0.5 nm and 100 μm. It can be understood that the larger the height of the carbon nanotube array and the smaller the applied pressure, the larger the thickness of the prepared carbon nanotube rolled film; on the contrary, the smaller the height of the carbon nanotube array, the more the applied pressure Large, the smaller the thickness of the prepared carbon nanotube rolled film. There is a gap between adjacent carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube film, thereby forming a gap between 1 nm and 500 nm in the carbon nanotube film. Or micropores. The gap or micropores can increase the specific surface area of the carbon nanotube membrane and infiltrate more protein. [0017] The carbon nanotube film may be a carbon nanotube film, and the carbon nanotube film is a self-supporting structure composed of a plurality of carbon nanotubes. Referring to Figure 4, the plurality of carbon nanotubes are preferably aligned along the length of the carbon nanotube film. The preferred orientation means that the majority of the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube film are oriented in substantially the same direction. Moreover, the overall direction of extension of the majority of the carbon nanotubes is substantially parallel to the surface of the carbon nanotube film. [0018] Further, most of the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube film are connected end to end by van der Waals force. Specifically, in the carbon nanotube film, most of the carbon nanotubes in the same direction extend substantially in the same direction as each of the carbon nanotubes in the extension 099143853 Form No. A0101 Page 8 / Total 41 Page 0992075908-0 201224146 The adjacent carbon nanotubes in the direction are connected end to end by van der Waals force. Of course, there are a few nano-carbon nanotubes in the film that are deviated from the direction of extension. These carbon nanotubes do not significantly affect the overall orientation of most of the nano slaves in the carbon nanotube film. . The self-supporting building does not need a large-area carrier support for the nano-broken S-film, but can maintain its own membranous state as long as it provides a supporting force on both sides, that is, the non-nano slave film is placed. When (or fixed to) two spacers arranged at a certain distance apart, the carbon nanotube film located between the two branches (four) can hold its own impurity. There is a continuous (four) continuous realization of the van der Waals and the arrangement of the carbon nanotubes. Specifically, the majority of the carbon nanotubes extending in the same direction in the carbon nanotube film are not absolutely linear, and may be arranged in the direction of the extension direction, and may be appropriately deviated. Extend the direction. Therefore, it is not possible to exclude partial contact between the carbon nanotubes juxtaposed in the majority of the carbon nanotubes extending substantially in the same direction. Specifically, the carbon nanotube film comprises a plurality of 〇 continuous and 疋-aligned nano ❹> 5 segments of the plurality of carbon tube segments connected end to end by a wattage force. Each of the carbon nanotube segments consists of a plurality of carbon nanotubes that are parallel to each other. The carbon nanotube segments have an arbitrary length uniformity and shape. The carbon nanotube film has good light transmittance and the visible light transmittance can reach above.闺* The carbon nanotubes include a plurality of carbon recordings, and the plurality of carbon nanotube films are laminated to form a layered structure. The thickness of the layered structure is not limited, and the adjacent carbon nanotube film is bonded by van der Waals force. Preferably, the layered structure comprises a number of layers of the carbon nanotube film that is less than or 099143853. Form number Α0101 page 9/total 41 page 0992075908-0 201224146 equals 1 〇 layer, thereby making the carbon nanotubes per unit area The small amount keeps the Raman light intensity of the carbon nanotube itself in a small range, thereby reducing the Raman peak intensity of the carbon nanotubes in the Raman spectrum. The carbon nanotubes in the adjacent carbon nanotube film in the layered structure have an intersection angle α between the α and the α is greater than 0 degrees and less than or equal to 90 degrees. When the carbon nanotubes in the adjacent carbon nanotube film have an intersection angle α, the carbon nanotubes in the composite carbon nanotube film are intertwined to form a nerve graft. The mechanical properties of the carbon nanotube membrane structure are increased. In this embodiment, the carbon nanotube film structure comprises a plurality of layers of carbon nanotube film laminated, and the intersection angle α between the carbon nanotubes in the adjacent carbon nanotube film is substantially equal to 90 degrees. That is, the extending directions of the carbon nanotubes in the adjacent carbon nanotube film are substantially parallel. [0020] The hydrophobic substrate is used to carry the carbon nanotube membrane structure and the protein layer. The hydrophobic substrate has hydrophobicity and good flexibility. The hydrophobic substrate may be made of silicone or coated with silicone. The shape and thickness of the hydrophobic substrate can be designed according to the shape and thickness of the carbon nanotube film structure. For example, the area and shape of the surface of the hydrophobic substrate may be substantially equivalent to the area and shape of the carbon nanotube film structure. It can be understood that when the thickness of the carbon nanotube film structure is thin, the carbon nanotube film structure has small mechanical strength and a large specific surface area, so the carbon nanotube membrane structure solution is subjected to an external force. It is damaged or easily adheres to other hydrophilic objects. When the carbon nanotube film structure is disposed on the surface of the hydrophobic substrate to form a biological substrate, the mechanical strength of the biological substrate is larger than that of the carbon nanotube film structure, thereby making the structure of the carbon nanotube film more uncomfortable. Damage caused by external action, and easy to move and 099143853 Form No. 1010101 Page 10 / Total 41 Page 0992075908-0 201224146 Prevent the carbon nanotube membrane structure from adhering to hydrophilic objects. [0021] Ο the protein layer is disposed on a surface of the carbon nanotube film structure for imparting hydrophilicity and biocompatibility to the carbon nanotube layer, thereby enabling the seed layer to be The cultivation and growth of nerve cells provides a suitable environment. Specifically, the protein layer is disposed on a surface of the carbon nanotube film structure away from the hydrophobic substrate. Preferably, the protein in the protein layer is a soluble protein. The protein may be selected from the group consisting of fibrous proteins, plasma proteins, and enzyme proteins. In this embodiment, the protein is a serum of a whey animal, such as porcine serum, bovine serum or human serum, which can not only provide a suitable environment for the growth and growth of the nerve cells. When the nerve cells grow, they provide a growth factor for the nerve cells. [0022] The preparation method of the cultivating layer is not limited as long as it can be mixed with the quinolin layer and the carbon nanotube film structure. For example, the protein solution can be infiltrated into the carbon nanotube membrane structure by immersing the carbon nanotube membrane structure in a protein solution: thereby allowing proteins in the protein solution to adhere to the na[beta] The carbon nanotube film structure forms a protein layer away from the surface of the hydrophobic substrate. The protein solution may also be sprayed onto the surface of the carbon nanotube membrane structure remote from the hydrophobic substrate such that the protein layer is disposed on the surface. A protein solution may also be dropped on the surface of the carbon nanotube membrane structure away from the hydrophobic substrate, and the protein layer may be disposed on the surface by means of a ruthenium membrane. The protein solution is in addition to the protein. A biological media that dissolves the protein may also be included. 'The type of the biological medium is not limited and may be modulated depending on the type of protein. Generally, the 099143853 Form No. A0101 Page 11 of 41 0992075908-0 201224146 The concentration of the protein in the protein solution is 50% or more and 100% or less. In this embodiment, the protein concentration in the protein solution is 100%, that is, the protein solution is pure protein, and no solvent is dissolved. [0023] Since the carbon nanotube membrane structure includes a plurality of carbon nanotube membranes And a gap exists between the plurality of carbon nanotubes to form a plurality of micropores, and when the protein solution infiltrates the carbon nanotube membrane structure, the protein solution can penetrate into the inner surface of the carbon nanotube membrane structure to infiltrate The surface of a plurality of carbon nanotubes. Of course, in the cultivating layer, not all the surface of the carbon nanotubes can be infiltrated with a protein layer, but only a part of the carbon nanotubes located on the surface of the carbon nanotube membrane structure in which the nerve cells need to be cultured are required. Infiltrating with a protein solution, a protein layer can be formed on the surface of the carbon nanotube membrane structure, so that the carbon nanotube membrane structure has hydrophilicity and biocompatibility, so that the growth layer has a carrier for nerve cell growth. The function. This is because, because of the hydrophobicity of the carbon nanotubes, the structure of the carbon nanotube membrane composed of carbon nanotubes does not provide a suitable hydrophilic environment for nerve cell growth. When the surface of the carbon nanotube is covered with a hydrophilic and non-toxic protein layer, the structure consisting of a carbon nanotube covered with protein can provide a suitable hydrophilic environment for cell growth. In this embodiment, the method for preparing the cultivating layer may further include the following steps: [0024] In the embodiment, the method for preparing the cultivating layer may further include the following steps: [0025] S11, providing the hydrophobic layer a substrate; [0026] S12, the carbon nanotube film structure is disposed on the surface of the hydrophobic substrate 099143853 Form No. A0101 Page 12 / Total 41 Page 0992075908-0 201224146 [0028] [0029] Ο [0030] 99[991] 099143853

s犋 structure is determined by the specific structure of the structure of the carbon nanotube membrane and the specific composition of the I-form solution, Form No. A0101, page 13 of 4192075908-0 201224146, as long as the nanometer can be made. Most of the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube membrane structure are infiltrated with a protein solution. Typically, the carbon nanotube membrane structure has a soaking time of more than 2 hours. The environment in which the carbon nanotube membrane structure is immersed is not limited as long as the protein is not deteriorated. Usually, the soaking process can be carried out under normal temperature and normal pressure conditions. [0032] when the carbon nanotube membrane structure is immersed in the protein solution, the protein solution may infiltrate a portion of the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube membrane structure, and may also infiltrate the nanometer tube All carbon nanotubes in the carbon tube membrane structure. Generally, when the thickness of the carbon nanotube film structure is thin, such as when the thickness of the carbon nanotube film structure is less than or equal to 10 μm, the protein solution may be infiltrated into the carbon nanotube film structure. All carbon nanotubes. When the thickness of the carbon nanotube film structure is thick, such as when the thickness of the carbon nanotube film structure is greater than or equal to 10 micrometers, the protein solution may infiltrate the carbon nanotube film structure away from the A carbon nanotube of a hydrophobic base portion. It should be noted that the protein solution is infiltrated by all the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube membrane structure, in addition to the thickness of the carbon nanotube membrane structure, and the infiltration time and the protein solution. Concentration related. For example, when the infiltration time is short, even if the structure of the carbon nanotube film is thin, the protein solution may only infiltrate a part of the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube film structure. [0033] In step S14, the manner in which the carbon nanotube membrane structure infiltrated with the protein solution is sterilized is not limited as long as most of the bacteria in the protein solution can be killed. For example, the protein solution can be sterilized by means of high temperature sterilization or ultraviolet light sterilization. In this embodiment, the protein solution is sterilized by high temperature sterilization. Of course, in order to make the protein in the protein solution not to be destroyed as described in Form 099143853 Form No. A0101 Page 14 of 41 0992075908-0 201224146, the temperature during sterilization should not exceed 220 degrees. In the present embodiment, the temperature at the time of high temperature sterilization is approximately 120 degrees. It will be understood that this step S14 may be omitted when there are fewer bacteria in the protein solution. When the protein solution infiltrated in the carbon nanotube membrane structure is sterilized, the solvent or moisture in the protein solution will be reduced. Generally, the protein solution infiltrated in the structure of the carbon nanotube film is solidified as the solvent or moisture is reduced to form the protein layer on the surface of the carbon nanotube film structure. [0034] In step S10, in order to increase the adhesion of the culture layer to the nerve cells and provide a growth environment more suitable for the nerve cells, after forming the protein layer, the step S10 may further include the following steps: S15, The protein layer forms a poly-D-lysine (PDL) layer away from the surface of the hydrophobic substrate. Specifically, the incubation layer may be immersed in a polylysine solution having a polylysine concentration of approximately 20 micrograms per milliliter. [0035] In step S20, the nerve cells include nerve cells of a mammal, and preferably, the nerve cells are hippocampal neurons. A method of implanting a plurality of nerve cells on the surface of the cultivating layer is not limited, and a solution containing the nerve cells may be sprayed or coated on a surface of the cultivating layer away from the hydrophobic substrate, or the cultivating layer may be immersed in the In the nerve cell fluid containing nerve cells, the nerve cell solution may be covered with the growth layer. In order for the nerve cell fluid to cover the germ layer, the nerve cell fluid may be contained in a petri dish. The incubation layer can be suspended in the culture dish. It can also be disposed on a bottom surface of the culture dish as long as it can 099143853 Form No. A0101 Page 15 / Total 41 page 0992075908-0 201224146 The culture solution can be covered with the nerve cells. When the incubation layer is disposed on the bottom surface of the culture, the hydrophobic substrate is in contact with the bottom surface such that the nerve cells are only distributed on the surface of the protein layer. [0036] In step S30, the incubation environment of the nerve cells is not limited as long as the neurites can be grown. Generally, the nerve cells can grow in a normal temperature and a normal pressure environment. That is, the nerve cells are placed in an indoor environment, and the nerve cells can be grown, and proteins such as bovine serum in the culture layer can provide a growth factor to promote the growth of the nerve cells. Of course, the incubation environment may also be close to the growth environment of the organism providing the nerve cells. For example, when the nerve cell is a hippocampal nerve cell taken from a mouse, the growth environment in the mouse can be simulated. [0037] The nerve cells are capable of growing a plurality of neurites when incubated. The neurites include dendrites and axons (Axon). When there is only one nerve cell on the surface of the growth layer, the nerve cells of the nerve cell grow randomly along the surface of the growth layer in various directions. However, since the nerve cells themselves release a factor that induces directional growth of the neurites, when the plurality of nerve cells are placed on the surface of the layer, the nerve cells of the nerve cells have a tendency to grow along adjacent nerve cells. So that adjacent nerve cells can connect and communicate. Therefore, by controlling the distribution of nerve cells in the growth layer, the growth direction of the nerve protrusions can be controlled. For example, if the neural cell line is randomly and evenly distributed on the surface of the incubation layer, the nerve cells will each grow a neurite out to connect with adjacent cells, when all or most of the nerve cells of the plurality of nerve cells are When the neurites connected between adjacent nerve cells are grown, the plurality of neural cells form the neural network by the neurites 099143853 Form No. A0101 Page 16 of 41 0992075908-0 201224146 , the plurality of nerve cells can communicate with each other. If the neurites of adjacent nerve cells meet, they will merge into the gods and dogs. For example, when the nerve cells are arranged in a line or array manner in the cultivating layer, and the gods t (four) in the longitudinal direction are closer to each other, and the nerve cells in the lateral direction are far apart, when: The nerve cells grown by the nuclear cells may be substantially along the longitudinal direction (for the purpose of enabling the nerve cells to be linear or (4) in the layer, the carbon nanotubes may be selected. ^ The carbon nanotubes extend substantially in the same direction. Through cultivation, most of the nerve cells of each other establish a connection through the thief, thereby describing the neural network and the formation of the neural network. a nerve graft. [0038] Ο The method for making a transplant is to provide a carbon nanotube membrane structure on a simple base surface, and then set the carbon nanotube membrane structure away from the surface of the hydrophobic substrate. The protein layer forms a cultivating layer, so that the plurality of phase cells can be planted in the protein layer φ in the cultivating layer, and the plurality of neurites are grown in the plurality of neurites. Can make Said # via the cell, that is, can not provide an environment for the growth of the cells, so that the nerve cells will only grow on the surface of the protein layer provided. [0039] The carbon nanotube membrane structure is A macroscopic membrane-like structure generally has an area of 15 mm x 15 mm or more. Specifically, the carbon nanotube membrane structure has a length of more than 3 GG meters and a width of more than 55 m. The substrate is also a 1 view structure, and its shape and surface area are adjusted according to the shape and area of the carbon nanotube film structure. 4 The carbon nanotube film 099143853 Form No. 1010101 Page 17 / Total 41 Page 0992075908-0 201224146 Structure The hydrophobic substrate has the advantages of good elasticity, good ductility and no metal, and can be directly implanted into the living body. Therefore, the nerve graft body mainly composed of the carbon nanotube film structure and the hydrophobic substrate is used. The damaged portion can be cut, stretched, and implanted according to the shape and size of the damaged portion of the damaged nervous system. The neural network has biological activity and signal transmission capability, thereby including the neural network. The transplant body also has biological activity and signal transmission ability. When the nerve graft is implanted into the damaged part of the organism, due to the neurons in the nerve implant and the ends or edges of the damaged part The distance between the neurons is short, so that the signal transmission ability can be established at both ends of the damaged portion by directly suturing the neurons in the nerve implant and the neurons at the edge of the damaged portion. The nerve repair of the damaged part, thereby saving the growth time of the neurite and reducing the repair time of the damaged nervous system. It can be understood that even when the nerve implant is implanted into the damaged part, no direct stitching is performed. Since the distance between the neurons at the edge of the damaged portion of the neuron in the nerve implant is smaller than the distance between the neurons at both ends of the damaged portion, the implant can also be reduced by implanting the nerve implant. The growth time of neurites, thereby reducing the repair time of the damaged nervous system. [0040] It should be noted that, in general, the carbon nanotubes in the structure of the carbon nanotube membrane refer to a carbon nanotube that has not been subjected to chemical or physical treatment, such as a nanometer that has not been subjected to surface hydrophilic treatment. The carbon tube, that is, the carbon nanotube is a pure carbon nanotube. Of course, if the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube membrane structure are modified carbon nanotubes, as long as they are not toxic to nerve cells, it should be within the scope of the present invention. Nano carbon tube 099143853 Form No. A0101 Page 18 of 41 0992075908-0 201224146 Modification will not make any substantial contribution to the realization of this financial, because the protein shell layer covers the carbon nanotube The nerve cells are not in direct contact with the carbon nanotubes, and the surface structure of the carbon nanotubes is practically negligible. [0044] [0045] The nerve graft of the present invention may include a method for preparing the above-described nerve graft, which is cultured on the surface of the layer including the carbon nanotube membrane structure and the protein layer. A product obtained by neural networks formed by nerve cells and neurites. Referring to FIG. 5, the nerve graft 1 includes a layer 1 and a neural network 2分布 distributed on the surface of the layer. The incubation layer 10 includes a hydrophobic substrate, a carbon nanotube membrane structure 12, and a protein layer 14. The carbon nanotube film structure 2 is disposed on one or opposite surfaces of the hydrophobic substrate 1丨. The protein layer 14 is disposed on a surface of the carbon nanotube film structure 12 away from the hydrophobic substrate 11. In the present embodiment, the carbon nanotube structure 12 is disposed only on one of the facing surfaces of the hydrophobic substrate 11. The hydrophobic substrate 11 may be made of tantalum or coated with a gel. Tannin is a commonly used implant material for living organisms, which is non-toxic to organisms and has good flexibility. Therefore, the hydrophobic substrate 11 formed or coated with the gelatin can be directly implanted into the human body. The carbon nanotube membrane structure 12 includes a plurality of carbon nanotubes substantially parallel to the surface of the carbon nanotube membrane structure, and adjacent carbon nanotubes are connected to each other by van der Waals to form a self-supporting structure. The carbon nanotube membrane structure 12 comprises at least one carbon nanotube membrane, which can be a carbon nanotube as shown in FIG. 2 099143853 Form No. 1010101 Page 19/41 Page 0992075908-0 201224146 The flocculated membrane, the carbon nanotube rolled membrane of Figure 3, and the nanocarbon tubular membrane of Figure 4. In the present embodiment, the carbon nanotube film structure 12 includes a plurality of laminated films arranged in a plurality of layers, and adjacent drawn films are bonded to each other by van der Waals force. In the adjacent drawn film, the extending direction of the carbon nanotubes may have an angle of intersection, and preferably, the angle of intersection is 90 degrees. The thickness of the carbon nanotube film structure 12 can be set according to specific needs. 5微米小于小于微米微米。 Typically, the carbon nanotube film structure 12 thickness is greater than 0.3 microns less than 60 microns. 6微米。 The thickness of the carbon nanotube film structure 12 is substantially 0.6 microns. [0046] The protein layer 14 is composed of a soluble protein. The so-called soluble protein means that the protein has good hydrophilicity. The thickness of the protein layer 14 is not limited as long as a hydrophilic environment can be provided. 5微米至2微米。 Generally, the thickness of the protein layer 14 is 0.3 microns to 2 microns. 5微米。 The thickness of the protein layer is substantially 0.5 microns. Macroscopically, the protein layer 14 can optionally be disposed only on the surface of the carbon nanotube membrane structure 12 remote from the hydrophobic substrate 11. Microscopically, the protein in the protein layer 14 easily penetrates into the interior of the carbon nanotube membrane structure 12 and coats some or all of the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube membrane structure 12, There is no distinct interface between the protein layer 14 and the carbon nanotube membrane structure 12. Generally, when the thickness of the carbon nanotube film structure 12 is thin, for example, when the thickness of the carbon nanotube film structure 12 is less than or equal to 3 μm, the protein in the protein layer 14 easily penetrates into the The interior of the carbon nanotube membrane structure 12 substantially covers all of the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube membrane structure 12. When the thickness of the carbon nanotube film structure 12 is thick, for example, the carbon nanotube film structure 12 099143853 Form No. A0101 Page 20 / Total 41 Page 0992075908-0 201224146 [0047] Ο ο [0048 When the thickness is greater than or equal to 3 microns, the protein in the protein layer 14 may also penetrate into the inner surface of the carbon nanotube membrane structure 12, but usually only the carbon nanotube membrane structure 12 is coated close to the Neural network 2 〇 carbon nanotubes. In this embodiment, the protein in the protein layer 14 substantially covers all of the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube membrane structure 12. The neural network 20 is disposed on a surface of the protein layer 14 that is remote from the nanocarbon film structure 12. When the nerve graft 1 includes only one nanocarbon film structure 12 and the carbon nanotube film structure 12 is provided with a protein layer 14 away from the surface of the hydrophobic substrate 11, the nerve graft 10 0 includes only one surface of the neuron 20 disposed on the surface of the protein layer 丨4. When the nerve graft 100 includes two carbon nanotube membrane structures 丨2 respectively disposed on two surfaces of the hydrophobic substrate ,, and each of the carbon nanotube membrane structures 12 is disposed away from the surface of the hydrophobic substrate 11 When there is a protein, the nerve graft 100 may include two neural networks 2, respectively disposed on the surface s of the two protein layers 14, or may include only one neural network 20 disposed in one of the proteins. The surface of layer 14. In this embodiment, the nerve graft 100 includes only one carbon nanotube membrane structure 12, a protein layer 14 disposed on the surface of the carbon nanotube membrane structure 12, and a protein layer disposed on the protein layer. 14 surface neural network 20. It can be understood that, in order to improve the bacteriostasis of the biological graft 100 and increase the life span of the nerve graft, the nerve graft may further include a poly-lysine layer disposed on the neural network. 20 is between the protein layer 14.

After the sterilization treatment, the protein in the protein solution is substantially solidified, and a protein layer is formed on the surface of the carbon nanotube membrane structure to form the incubation layer. [0063] [0066] [0066] 099143853 S250 'The incubation layer was immersed in a polylysine solution. The concentration of polylysine in the polylysine solution is approximately 2 μg per ml. By soaking, the surface of the layer is attached with polylysine and provides an aqueous environment. S26〇, a nerve cell fluid is added dropwise to the soaked multi-culture layer until the nerve cell fluid covers the culture layer. Since the cultivating layer has a silicone substrate, the cultivating layer can be directly disposed in a container such as a petri dish through which the carbon nanotube film structure is not in contact with the inner surface of the container. S270, cultivating the plurality of nerve cells attached to the cultivating layer to grow the plurality of nerve cells to grow a plurality of neurites connected between the plurality of nerve cells, thereby forming a neural network in the cultivating layer. The cultivation environment of the nerve cells is an ordinary indoor environment, and the cultivation time can be determined according to actual needs. Therefore, in the environment of step 326, please refer to Fig. 10, and keep the various conditions unchanged. After culturing for about 15 days in an indoor environment, the nerve cells can be differentiated into a plurality of neurites. When the nerve cells are grown, the protein, such as bovine serum, is capable of providing a growth factor for the growth of the neural cells. After the plurality of nerve cells on the plurality of nerve cells are connected to each other, the neural network and the implant are formed. Referring to FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the nerve graft is not stained by SEM form No. A0101. 24 pages/total 41 pages 201224146 Photos and TEM images after staining. It can be clearly seen from the above-described projection electron microscope photograph that a plurality of nerve cells in the nerve graft are connected together by neurites. At the same time, as shown in Fig. 11, part of the nerve fineness extends out of multiple neurites but does not connect with other nerve cells through the multiple neurites. But this does not affect the nerve graft as a whole. Biologically active. [0067] [0069] It is noted that the tantalum substrate itself has water repellency since the silicone substrate in the incubation layer separates the container of the nanotube membrane structure. Therefore, the nerve cells will only adsorb on the surface of the protein layer disposed on the nano-carbon structure and grow on the surface without growing on the surface of the gelatin substrate or the inner surface of the container.
