Fabrication of Vascularized Tissue Scaffold

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Three syringe pumps (11 Elite C300918, Harvard Apparatus, U.S.A.) were connected to the fabricated device through Tygon tubes (Saint-Gobain, Courbevoie, France). For one core inlet, a mixture of 3 mg/mL collagen, 2 × 106 cells/mL HUVECs, and 0.1 M CaCl2 (Daejung Chemicals, Republic of Korea) was supplied to culture into a blood vessel. For another core inlet, 0.1 M CaCl2 was injected to formulate a hollow channel inside the scaffold. For the outer layer inlet, a 2% w/v mixture of gelatin (Sigma-Aldrich, U.S.A.) and alginate (Daejung Chemicals, Republic of Korea) (70 vs. 30 ratio) was supplied as the body of the scaffold. The extruded scaffold was submerged into a 0.1 M CaCl2 bath through the outlet and then cross-linked. Calcium ions of the CaCl2 cross-linked with sodium alginate into calcium alginate so that no hydrogel in the hollow channel remained. The gelatin scaffold was washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, Sigma-Aldrich, U.S.A.). The washed scaffold was cultured in an incubator at 37°C with 5% CO2 and replaced with a fresh medium every 2 days.

The WsKG used in this study was 6-year-old root grown in Sansam Village (Wanju, Korea). Chitosan (75–85% deacetylated), acetic acid solution, and ZnONP (average particle size of 20 ± 5 nm) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Seoul, Korea). K2SO4 and CaCl2 were purchased from Daejung chemicals & Metals Co. (Siheung, Korea). Escherichia coli ATCC 25,922 and Bacillus cereus ATCC 11,778 were brought from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Seoul, Korea). E. coli and B. cereus were cultivated at 37 °C for 16 h by picking one inoculation loop and spreading on Luria–Bertani (LB) medium (BD DIFCO, New Jersey, USA). Microbial stock was prepared by inoculating LB broth and 50% glycerol (6:4 v/v) with the bacteria, which was stored at −80 °C.

Preparation of Korean Red Pine Wood Powder

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Korean red pine (Pinus densiflora S. et Z.) was obtained from the Experimental Forest of Kangwon National University (Chuncheon, Korea). The degreased wood powder was prepared using an ethanol/benzene (1/2, v/v) solution in a Soxhlet extractor operating at 90 °C for 6 h. AL, CaCl2, ChCl, LA, sodium chlorite, acetic acid, 50% NaOH solution, tert-butanol, and sulfuric acid were purchased from Daejung Chemical & Metals Co., Ltd. (Siheung, Korea) and used without further purification. Commercial PCNFs were supplied by Cellulose Lab, Co., Ltd. (Fredericton, NB, Canada).

BaCl2, glucose, magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), potassium phosphate monobasic (KH2PO4), KCl, sodium chloride (NaCl), sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3), CaCl2, and urethane were sourced from Daejung Chemicals & Metals Co., Ltd. (Siheung, Republic of Korea). Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was purchased from Junsei (Tokyo, Japan). Phenylephrine, acetylcholine (Ach), and ethylene glycol-bis(2-aminoethylether)-N,N‚N′,N′-tetraacetic acid (EGTA), Ang II, SK&F96365, nifedipine, imperatorin (>98.0% purity verified by HPLC, CAS: 482-44-0), and osthole (≥95.0% purity verified by HPLC, CAS: 484-12-8) were purchased from Sigma Aldrich, Inc. (St. Louis, MO, USA). 4-AP, Glib, and TEA were obtained from Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd. (Osaka, Japan).

Synthesis of Hemostatic Carboxymethyl Starch

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Carboxymethyl starch (50 wt%; JRS PHARMA GmbH, Germany) was dissolved and stirred in a solution of calcium chloride (0.08 wt%; CaCl2, Daejung, Siheung, Korea) in ethanol (99%, Daejung, Siheung, Korea) for 2 h. The obtained solution containing precipitate was filtered using a filter paper to eliminate unreacted calcium chloride, which was then rinsed with ethanol three times. Subsequently, the filtered solution was dried in an oven (40 °C for 24 h) and pulverized by cryogenic grinding. The ground hemostatic particles were then sieved using a sieve tray (nominal aperture 125 μm, Daihan Scientific, Seoul, Korea) to obtain a homogeneous powder. The powdered sample was sterilized under UV light (254 nm) and kept in a sealed pack for further use.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
