[The effect of the nasal packing material on nasal epithelial cells]

Objective:The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of polyethylene glycol acrylate hybrid hydrogel degradation substance on nasal mucociliary transport system. Method:In our experiment, the complex hydrogel were formed by the combination of different ratios of polyethyleneglycol diacrylate, chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol. The experiment was divided into four groups according to the international standard of medical devices. DMEM/F12∶BEGM culture medium was used for each packing material extraction, DMEM/F12∶BEGM culture medium was used as control. Human nasal uncinate tissue, gas liquid interface culture of human nasal mucociliary epithelium cells. The high frequency digital microscope video imaging system was used to detect the ciliary wiggle frequency. The baseline state (0 min) and 1 h,1 d, 2 d, 3 d of CBF were measured after dosing. Result:①In the experimental group and the control group, with the increase of the number of days, the ciliary beat frequency increased first and then slowed down. ②Compared with the other groups, Polyethylene glycol acrylate hybrid hydrogel group increase on CBF (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the maximum increase and the maximum decrease in B, C and D groups (P>0.05). Therefore, it can be concluded that absorbable gelatin sponge material and absorbable chitosan material had no effect on nasal mucociliary activity. Conclusion:Polyethylene glycol diacrylate composite hydrogel material can increase the frequency of ciliary wounded nasal mucosa epithelial cells cultured in air-liquid interface in vitro, and enhanced the activity of nasal mucosa cilia. Therefore, it can meet the safety requirements of clinical application of the new material.
