| الوصف: | The use of biodegradable polymers for drug delivery systems excluded the need for a second operation to remove the carrier. However, the development of an avascular fibrous capsule, reducing drug release, has raised concern about these polymers in terms of tissue-implant reaction. Five novel polymers were evaluated in vivo after implantation in the rat dorsal subcutis and compared to the reference polycaprolactone (PCL). Poly(cyclohexyl-sebacate) (PCS), poly(L-lactide-b-1,5-dioxepan-2-one-b-L-lactide) (PLLA-PDXO-PLLA), two 3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate copolymers (D400G and D600G), and a poly(organo)phosphazene (POS-PheOEt:Imidazole) specimens were histologically evaluated in terms of the inflammatory tissue thickness and vascular density at 4 and 12 weeks from surgery. The highest values of inflammatory tissue thickness were observed in D600G (P < 0.01), PCS (P < 0.001) and PLLA-PDXO-PLLA (P < 0.001) at 4 weeks, while POP - PheOEt:Imidazole showed the lowest value of inflammatory tissue thickness (P < 0.05) at 12 weeks. D400G, D600G, PLLA-PDXO-PPLA and POP - PheOEt:Imidazole showed higher (P < 0.001) values of vascular density near the implants in comparison to PCL at 4 weeks. Finally, D400G and D600G increased their vessel densities while POP - PheOEt:Imidazole and the synthetic polyester PLLA-PDXO-PLLA presented similar vessel density values during experimental times. These different behaviours to improve neoangiogenesis without severe inflammatory tissue-responses could be further investigated with drugs in order to obtain time-programmable drug delivery systems for musculoskeletal therapy. |
