-背景技术 -Background technique
大多'数做完细胞或器官移植手术的患者在经历了痛苦的移植手术后,仍需花费一生的时 间进行免疫抑制治疗, 以对抗免疫排斥反应。 目前,一个解决方案是将外源性的细胞或器官 包埋在半透明性的人工膜中, 进行隔离,然后再移植到体内, 从而避兔植入的细胞或器官与 具有兔疫效应的细胞和体液进行直接接触, 从而起到免疫隔离的作用。 该技术起源于 20世 纪 60年代, 通常采用具有凝胶态的天然高分子材料或合成高分子材料作为微包囊的材料, 如藻酸盐, 琼脂, 壳聚糖, 聚丙烯酸脂, 聚乙 醇, 聚丙烯腈一氯乙烯共聚物等。 从材料方 面考虑, 高分子材料的分子质量, 强度,化学组成以及包囊膜的厚度或层数等的变化会使膜 的通透性发生变化, 从微包囊的制备工艺考虑,制作微包囊所用高聚物溶液的浓度,凝胶化 反应的时 |¾, 体系 PH值以及添加剂的种类和用量等都会对膜的通透性和生物相容性产生显 著影响, 使细胞在包埋过程中凋亡或功能丧失。而且, 这类材料的微包囊在移植过程中, 发 现往往存在体积过大的问题。例如以胰岛细胞移植为例, 为维持人体正常的血糖水平, 一般 应该维持 15, 000〜20, 000 islets/kg的人体重量浓度水平, 当采用通常制备的直径为 500 μ πι左右的微包囊时, 则为达到与一个胰岛所具有的相同数目胰岛细胞, 所需的微包囊总体 积约为一个标准胰岛体积^ 37倍。 同时, 在生理环境下, 釆用凝聚态材料制成的微包囊还 会发生吸水膨胀,导致微包囊体积变大和变形,从而会影响细胞功 的正常发挥和在体内的 长期稳定性。 发明内容 Most patients who have undergone cell or organ transplant surgery will spend a lifetime of immunosuppressive therapy to combat immune rejection after a painful transplant. At present, a solution is to embed exogenous cells or organs in a translucent artificial membrane, isolate them, and then transplant them into the body, thereby avoiding cells or organs implanted in rabbits and cells having a rabbit effect. Direct contact with body fluids to provide immune isolation. The technology originated in the 1960s, and usually uses a gelatinous natural polymer material or a synthetic polymer material as a material for microencapsulation, such as alginate, agar, chitosan, polyacrylate, polyethanol, Polyacrylonitrile-vinyl chloride copolymer and the like. From the material point of view, the molecular mass, strength, chemical composition of the polymer material, and the thickness or number of layers of the encapsulating film change the permeability of the film. From the preparation process of the microcapsule, the micro-package is prepared. The concentration of the polymer solution used in the capsule, the time of the gelation reaction, the pH of the system, and the type and amount of the additive all have a significant effect on the permeability and biocompatibility of the membrane, allowing the cells to be embedded. Loss of apoptosis or function. Moreover, microencapsulation of such materials often finds problems of excessive volume during the transplantation process. For example, in islet cell transplantation, in order to maintain the normal blood sugar level of the human body, the body weight concentration level of 15,000 to 20,000 islets/kg should generally be maintained, and a microcapsule having a diameter of about 500 μππ is usually prepared. At the time, to achieve the same number of islet cells as one islet, the total microcapsule volume required is about 37 times the standard islet volume. At the same time, under the physiological environment, the microcapsules made of condensed materials will also swell and cause the microcapsules to become larger and deformed, which will affect the normal function of cell function and long-term stability in vivo.

许多金属和合金由于对人体无害, 较好的生物相容性等优点而被广泛应用于临床治疗 中, 例如钛金属由于重量轻、 生物相容性好、无毒性、耐腐蚀性好、 体内安定性良好、 热膨 胀系数小、熔点高等优点而得到广泛的应用, 尤其在口腔医学中的牙体种植中。通过精密铸 造将钛金属制成半球或半胶囊状的薄壳,然后通过镀膜工艺,在金属表面镀上一层防止氧化 反应的薄膜。采用激光打孔技术在镀膜后的薄壳上打上一排排小进制通孔,这些小通孔允许 维持细胞存活的营养物质和氧的供给以及细胞代谢产生的废物排除,同时保证细胞分泌产生

For example, titanium metal is light in weight, biocompatible, non-toxic, and has good corrosion resistance. It has a wide range of applications due to its good stability, small coefficient of thermal expansion and high melting point, especially in dental implants in stomatology. The titanium metal is formed into a hemispherical or semi-capsule-shaped thin shell by precision casting, and then a metal film is coated with a film for preventing oxidation reaction by a coating process. Laser punching technology is used to apply a row of small-sized through-holes on the coated thin shell. These small through-holes allow the supply of nutrients and oxygen to maintain cell survival and the elimination of waste generated by cell metabolism, while ensuring cell secretion. The specific factor can enter the extracellular space of the whole body through diffusion, and the cells with immune effect can not directly contact the transplanted cells through the small through hole, thereby playing an immune isolation. The cells to be transplanted are placed in a thin shell, and two hemispheres or semi-capsule-shaped shells are welded at the seam by spot welding. Finally, the welded microcapsules are implanted into the human body through minimally invasive surgery.
