Research Abstract |
In this study, the effectiveness of our scaffold with application of basic fibroblast growth factor(b-fgf) was investigated. Three types of scaffold were made: no b-FGF, 10ng b-FGF, and 100ng b-FGF. At 7,14 and 28 days after implantation in rats, the trachea were removed and histologically evaluated. The regeneration of mucosal epithelium and the subepithelial layer was evaluated. Our technique for tracheal reconstruction affords a feasible approach for accelerating the regeneration of the intraluminal surface and subepithelial layer of tracheal tissue.
