Mesoporous silica hemostatic Effect evaluation
1. In vitro hemolysis experiment
In vitro hemolysis experiments were performed using different concentrations of diatom shell powder. Diatom shells were dissolved in physiological saline (10 mg/ml, 5mg/ml, 2.5mg/ml, 1mg/ml, 0.5 mg/ml) and water-bath was performed at 37℃in advance. 60mL of 10% hematocrit red blood cell dispersion was added to 1mL of the diatom shell dispersion solution followed by 20mL of CaCl2 in a 37℃water bath for 1h. The solution was then centrifuged at 2000rpm/min for 5 minutes. The absorbance of the supernatant at 545nm was measured. Distilled water and physiological saline without diatom shells were used as positive and negative controls, respectively.
Calculation formula of hemolysis rate:
HR (%) = (Ds diatom shell-Dn physiological saline)/(Dp distilled water-Dn). Times.100
2. In vitro procoagulant activity of diatom shells
Taking clean test tubes, adding 10mg of diatom shell powder respectively, taking blank test tubes as negative control, taking chitosan as positive control, and setting three test tubes per concentration of each sample. The tubes were gently shaken or the powder was spread as far as possible at the bottom of the tube and preheated to 37 ℃. 0.25mL, 0.5mL, 0.75mL, 1mL, 1.25mL fresh blood and anticoagulated blood (blood: 3.8% sodium citrate = 9:1) are sequentially added to the above tubes, smoothly transferred to a 37 ℃ water bath, placed in the water bath while starting timing, the first tube is tilted once every 30s (angle is less than 30 °), the remaining two tubes are temporarily immobilized until the first tube is slowly inverted and the blood does not flow, the second and third tubes are observed in the same way until the blood in the third tube is fully coagulated, and the set of clotting times is recorded according to a stop watch. The coagulation time is up to 60min, and the coagulation is judged to be non-coagulation after exceeding. The test was repeated 6 times per sample.
The samples in each tube were washed three times with phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4) to remove blood cells that did not adhere to the powder. Adding 2.5% glutaraldehyde solution into the washed diatom shell powder and RBC complex, and standing at room temperature for 2h to crosslink the blood cells and the diatom shell powder. Dispersing the fixed powder with alcohol, dripping on a silicon wafer, spraying gold, and taking an electron scanning microscope picture.
3. Activated partial thrombin time (aPTT) assay
100L PPP was water-bathed at 37℃for 3min, then mixed with aPTT reagent and sample (in grams) also water-bathed at 37℃for 3min, and then transferred to a fully automatic coagulation analyzer for measurement, each sample was tested 6 times, and the average was taken.
4. Prothrombin Time (PT) determination
100L of Platelet Poor Plasma (PPP) and PT reagent were mixed together and preheated at 37℃for 5min. The prepared samples were added and then transferred to a fully automatic coagulation analyzer for measurement, each sample was tested 6 times, and the average value was taken.
5. Experimental results:
(1) Rate of in vitro hemolysis
The hemolysis test was used to confirm the compatibility of the diatom shell with blood. This test measures haemolysis mainly caused by electrostatic interactions between silanol groups distributed on the surface of the diatom shell and positively charged groups of the membrane proteins. The strong affinity between silica and cell membrane weakens the integrity of erythrocytes. As the concentration of diatom shell increases, the rate of hemolysis of Red Blood Cells (RBCs) becomes substantially higher, as shown in fig. 7. To quantify the hemolysis of the diatom shells in SD rat erythrocytes, the rate of hemolysis was calculated (according to equation 1.).
D F ,D N And D P Absorbance at 545nm, for diatom shell, distilled water (negative control) and normal saline (positive control), respectively.
From FIG. 7, at 1, 2.5 and 5 mg. Mu.mL -1 Low hemolysis was found in the diatom shell, not exceeding 1.55.+ -. 0.06%. At 1 mg. Mu.mL -1 In the diatom shell, the lowest hemolysis rate is 1.18±0.22%, which can be considered as almost transparent resolution (fig. 8). Although 7.5mg mL -1 The hemolysis rate of (a) reaches 4.73+/-0.45 percent, but is still lower than 5 percent. When 10mg mL is used -1 When the diatom shell is added into the erythrocyte solution, the hemolysis rate is 5.64+/-0.39%, which is significantly higher than 1, 2.5 and 5mg/mL -1 Concentration (p)<0.001)。However, the data is still advantageous compared to that of coscinodicut sp. Diatom shell (17.76+ -1.16%, 10mg mL) -1 ) And diatomaceous earth (13.83.+ -. 0.11%,5mg mL) -1 ). The obtained results indicate that Navicula australoshetlandica sp.
(2) Results of in vitro coagulation
The hemostatic effect of the diatom shell is measured by the clotting time of whole blood in vitro. The anticoagulated blood used in this evaluation was added at 1/50V 0.025mol/L CaCl 2 Recalcification. The calcium chloride here provides the appropriate calcium ion (factor iv) into the anticoagulant, which causes the coagulation process to be activated and reacted. To compare hemostatic efficiency, the clotting time was assessed for diatom shells and chitosan suspended in different volumes of blood. Chitosan is a natural polysaccharide that is widely used as a commercial hemostatic material due to its effective hemostatic properties, biodegradability and biocompatibility. In this study we used chitosan as a positive control. According to FIG. 9, the setting time of the diatom shell and chitosan was significantly shorter than that of the blank (429.37.+ -. 12.14 s). The clotting time of the diatom shell group at a hemostatic material/blood (mg/. Mu.L) ratio of 1:100 was the shortest (134.99.+ -. 7.00 s), 1.83 times (112.32 s) and 3.18 times (294.38 s) shorter than that of chitosan, and shorter than that of the control group. When the blood volume was increased from 25. Mu.L to 125. Mu.L, the clotting time of chitosan was significantly prolonged from 181.06.+ -. 7.25 to 282.52.+ -. 3.48s, while the clotting time of diatom shells remained almost unchanged, changing from 167.37.+ -. 13.33s to 181.73.+ -. 7.60s. This indicates that the blood volume has a slight effect on the hemostatic properties of the diatom shell, showing great potential as a hemostatic material for medical use.
(3) Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and Prothrombin Time (PT)
Characterization of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and Prothrombin Time (PT) revealed a role for diatoms in the hemostatic pathway. The aPTT of the diatom shells was 44.53+ -7.78 s shorter than the control, while there was no significant change in PT (P <0.5, using SPSS analysis) (blood was 8.73+ -0.12 s; diatom shells were 8.85+ -0.37 s), as shown in FIG. 7. Shortening of aPTT means an intrinsic pathway by which diatom shells can induce blood clotting. Previous studies have shown that the highly porous, negatively charged surface of silica can activate the intrinsic pathways of blood coagulation by stimulating coagulation factors XI and XII [28,29]. The large number of negatively charged groups can be attributed to the shortened aPTT, while the nearly constant PT indicates that the diatom shell does not activate the extrinsic coagulation pathway.
