  • Patent number: 11173229
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing an injectable thermosensitive chitosan/TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers hydrogel. The injectable thermosensitive chitosan/TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers hydrogel exhibits superior biocompatibility through addition of TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers, and excellent cell proliferation and bone regeneration through cellular interaction, and is gelled in vivo, thus being highly useful as a filler for wound healing and bone regeneration. In addition, the injectable thermosensitive chitosan/TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers hydrogel exhibits excellent porosity, has an interconnected structure and is thermogelling, based on thermosensitivity of undergoing a sol-gel transition depending on temperature, thus inducing rapid gelation in vivo and facilitating bone regeneration upon implantation in vivo.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10864302
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing an injectable thermosensitive hydrogel for preventing adhesion including mixing methyl cellulose, polyethylene glycol, oxidized cellulose nanofibers and carboxymethyl cellulose. The injectable thermosensitive hydrogel for preventing adhesion is a sol at a low temperature and induces rapid gelation upon in vivo implantation due to thermosensitivity. In addition, the hydrogel can be rapidly changed into physical hydrogel without separate additives or chemical reaction during in vivo condition. In addition, the injectable thermosensitive hydrogel for preventing adhesion exhibits excellent biodegradability and biocompatibility, has no cytotoxicity, inhibits in vitro migration of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs), and exhibits anti-adhesion efficacy in a rat model of sidewall defect-cecum abrasion in vivo, thus being useful as an effective anti-adhesive agent.
