The thrce-dimensional （3D） scaffold can provide not only physical properties such as high strength and porosity hut also an optimal environment to enhance tissue regeneration. Sphingosine 1-phosphate （SIP）, an angiogenlc factor, was loaded into mesoporous silica nanoparticles （MSNs） and then incorporated into poly （ L-lactic add ） （ PLLA ） nanofibrons scaffold, which was fabricated by thermally induced phase separation （TIPS） method. The prepared scaffolds were examined by attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （ATR-FTIR）, scanning electron microscopy （ SEM）, and transmission electron microscopy （TEM） and compressive mechanical test. The ATR-FTIR result demonstrated the existence of MSNs in the PLLA nanofibrous scaffold. The SEM images showed that PLLA scaffold had regular pore channel, interconnected pores and nanofibrous structure. The addition of MSNs at appropriate content had no visible effect on the structure of scaffold. The compressive modulus of scaffold containing MSNs was higher than that of the scaffold without MSNs. Furthermore, fluorescein isothiocyanate （FTTC） was used as model molecule to investigate the release behavior of SIP from MSNs- incorporated PLLA （MSNs/PLLA） nanofibrons scaffold. The result showed that the composite scaffold largely reduced the initial burst release and exhibited prolonged release of FITC than MSNs. Thus, these results indicated that SIP-loaded composite uanofibrons scaffold has potential applications for bone tissue engneering.展开更多

In this study, the functional drug sphingosine 1-phosphate （SIP） was loaded in the hydrogel which was derived from aldehyde hyaluroulc acid （AHA） and carboxymethyl chitosun （CC） through Schiff＇s base reaction for promoting ungiogenesis. The scanning electron microscopy （SEM） images demonstrated the suitable threedimension network structure of hydrogel. The rheological properties and compressive stress-strain behavior of hydrngel were also examined, and the results indicated that the hydrogei possessed good mechanical properties. In vitro drug release behaviors showed that drug released from the hydrogei in a sustained manner and could achieve prolonged release time compared to the pure drug. The 3- （ 4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl ） -2, 5-diphenyl （MTT） assay showed the good cytocompatibility of the resulting hydrogel. More importantly, the chicken chorioallantoic membrane （CAM） assay confirmed that the SIP loaded hydrogel could significantly promote angingenesis in the CAM model. As a result, our results strongly suggested that the as-prepared hydrogel would be a good candidate for delivery of functional drugs.展开更多
