Abstract: A preparation method and an application of a composite scaffold for directionally guiding regeneration of optic nerve axons. A major component of the composite scaffold is prepared from one or more degradable biomedical materials combined according to different ratios by a gradient freezing method. To increase a mechanical property of the scaffold or prolong in-vivo degradation time, the scaffold may be cross-linked by a biological cross-linker. After a gelatin is added, the prepared composite scaffold exhibits excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. A problem of solubility differences of the gelatin A produced during gradient freezing can be regulated by sodium alginate, thereby facilitating regular directional pipeline morphology of the scaffold.

Abstract: A method for creating an animal model of traumatic optic nerve injury, including fully exposing an internal segment of an optic canal as well as adjacent anterior skull base, posterior ethmoid sinus and lateral sphenoid sinus walls through an ethmoid sinus-sphenoid sinus operation pathway under an endoscope, and impacting different sites of the internal segment of the optic canal with controllable impact force to cause optic nerve injury so as to prepare a controllable and quantifiable TONI bionic elastic injury animal model reflecting contusion to an internal segment of an optic canal in a human TONI clinical injury state. With less intracranial combined injury to the animal, the survival rate is high. Different sites of the optic canal are impacted with quantifiable elastic force for the quantitative and qualitative purposes with respect to the injured parts and the injury degree.

Abstract: A method for creating an animal model of indirect traumatic optic neuropathy, including fully exposing an internal segment of an optic canal as well as adjacent anterior skull base, posterior ethmoid sinus and lateral sphenoid sinus walls through an ethmoid sinus-sphenoid sinus operation pathway under an endoscope, and impacting different sites of the internal segment of the optic canal with controllable impact force to cause optic nerve injury so as to prepare a controllable and quantifiable ITON bionic elastic injury animal model reflecting contusion to an internal segment of an optic canal in a human ITON clinical injury state. With less intracranial combined injury to the animal, the survival rate is high.
