Porous Polylactide Film Plus Atorvastatin-Loaded Thermogel as an Efficient Device for Peritoneal Adhesion Prevention.


ABSTRACT: Peritoneal adhesion is a common postoperative complication that causes many kinds of organ dysfunctions. It can be minimized by the integration of physical isolation and pharmaceutical treatment. However, the gas permeability of traditional medical devices for adhesion prevention is not satisfactory, which increases the risk of infection and inflammation, thus facilitating the formation of peritoneal adhesion. In this study, a device of porous polylactide (PLA) film plus atorvastatin (ATV)-loaded thermogel was developed for peritoneal adhesion prevention. PLA film acted as a physical barrier to prevent the connection of fibrin bridges between the injured tissues and nearby normal organs. Simultaneously, ATV was released to achieve the antifibrin deposition and anti-inflammatory effect. The porous properties of PLA film and thermogel increased the gas permeability and further inhibited the inflammatory responses. The in vivo study demonstrated that the porous PLA film with ATV-loaded thermogel possessed excellent anti-inflammation ability and satisfactory antiadhesion capacity, indicating its great potential for clinical application.
