Description of the Invention: [Technology of the Invention] [0001] The present invention relates to a method for preparing a nerve graft, and more particularly to a method for preparing a nerve graft for transplantation of an organism. [Prior Art] [0002] The nervous system is mainly composed of neurons and neuron glial cells, which constitute a complex and specific communication domain for establishing links with other tissues or organs for functional coordination. In the nervous system, neurons are used to compel and stimulate, transmit and transmit neurotransmitters (neuron transmit ter) for tissue or organ communication, while glial ridges perform neuronal physicality. Support, nutrition, and the ability to adjust the speed of communication messages. Each neuron depends on the type including the cel 1 body and the neurite 'neurites' extending from the cell body and growing toward other neurons or other cells (eg, muscle cells), The god's protrusion is divided into two types: axon and dendrite. Generally speaking, the stimulus is received by the dendrite and transmits the impulse to the cell body. The impulse is transmitted through the axon to the end of the axon and released. The substance is used to touch other cells. [0003] Since the nervous system plays a coordinating role between tissues and organs in a living body, its importance is self-evident. Previously, neurological deficits due to impaired nervous system were clinically common disabling diseases. Among them, the implantation of a nerve graft to repair the damaged nervous system is an important means for neurosurgery to repair the damage of the nervous system caused by various conditions. Previous nerve grafts are usually "bridged" in the nervous system: the neural tube at both ends, the tube is made of biodegradable material. 099143856 Form No. A0101 Page 3 of 38 201224148 Structure. The damaged part of the nervous system - the end of the neuron grows out of the neural tube to reach the end of the damaged part of the nervous system [0004] ..., the heart of the hydroxy tube is repaired by the ^ The length of the site is long, and the growth process of the neurite is very slow, and the repair time required for the nerve tube to repair the damaged nervous system is longer. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0006] [0007] [0007] 099143856 In view of the fact that the preparation method of the nerve graft is necessary, the nerve graft prepared by the method can reduce the repair time of the damaged nervous system. - a method for preparing a nerve graft, comprising the steps of: providing a culture layer comprising: a carbon nanotube (four) structure and a protein layer disposed on a surface of the carbon nanotube membrane structure; Planting a plurality of nerve cells on the surface of the layer; and cultivating the plurality of nerve cells until the plurality of nerve cells grow a plurality of neurites and the neurites between the plurality of nerve cells are connected to each other to form a neural network. In contrast to the prior art, the preparation method of the nerve graft is formed by forming a culture layer on the surface of the carbon nanotube membrane structure and forming the neural network on the surface of the growth layer. The carbon nanotube membrane structure has the advantages of good elasticity, good ductility and low density, and the nerve graft can be cut, stretched and implanted according to the shape and size of the damaged part of the damaged nervous system. Damaged part. The neural network has biological activity and nickname transmission ability, so that the nerve graft including the neural network also has biological activity and signal transmission ability. When the form number A0101 page 4/38 page 0992075911-0 201224148 is transplanted to the damaged part of the human body, due to the nerve in the nerve implant and the two ends of the damaged part The distance between the neurons of the edge or the edge is relatively close, so that the signal transmission capability can be established at both ends of the damaged portion by directly suturing the neurons in the nerve implant and the neurons at the edge of the damaged portion. The nerve repair of the damaged part is completed, thereby saving the growth time of the neurite, and reducing the repair time of the damaged god. [0008] [0010] [Embodiment] Referring to FIG. 1, the present invention provides a method for preparing a dizolium implant comprising: a S10 'providing-cultivating layer, the cultivating layer comprising - a carbon nanotube membrane structure and a protein layer disposed on the surface of the carbon nanotube membrane structure.

The so-called ''self-discipline'' The carbon nanotube film structure can maintain its own specific shape without being disposed on the surface of a substrate. Due to the self-supporting nano carbon, a large number of carbon nanotubes in the structure are attracted to each other by van der Waals force. Thus, #^ 099143856 Form No. Α0101 Page 5 of 38 〇992〇7591 201224148 The carbon nanotube film structure has a specific shape to form a self-supporting structure. When the carbon nanotube film structure is a self-supporting structure, The carbon nanotube film structure may be a film structure formed by at least one carbon nanotube film, and when the carbon nanotube film structure comprises a plurality of carbon nanotube films, the plurality of carbon nanotube films are stacked , adjacent to the carbon nanotube membrane between the van der Waals In combination, since the carbon nanotube film is basically composed of a carbon nanotube and the carbon nanotubes are connected by van der Waals, the carbon nanotube film structure has good elasticity, good ductility and low density. The advantages are that it is easy to cut and stretch. [0013] Referring to FIG. 2, the carbon nanotube film can be a carbon nanotube film, and the carbon nanotube film is a carbon nanotube. a self-supporting carbon nanotube film obtained by flocculation of the raw material. The carbon nanotube flocculation membrane comprises intertwined and uniformly distributed carbon nanotubes. The length of the carbon nanotubes is greater than 10 micrometers, preferably 200 micrometers. Up to 900 microns, so that the carbon nanotubes are entangled with each other. The carbon nanotubes are attracted and distributed by van der Waals to form a network structure. Due to the self-supporting carbon nanotube flocculation A large number of carbon nanotubes in the membrane are mutually attracted and intertwined by van der Waals force, so that the carbon nanotube flocculation membrane has a specific shape to form a self-supporting structure. Isotropic. The carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube flocculation membrane are evenly divided. The cloth, randomly arranged, forms a large number of gaps or micropores having a size between 1 nm and 500 nm. The gap or micropores can increase the specific surface area of the carbon nanotube film and infiltrate more protein. [0014] The carbon nanotube film may be a carbon nanotube rolled film, and the carbon nanotube film is a self-supporting nano carbon obtained by rolling a carbon nanotube array. The tube film. The carbon nanotube rolled film includes a uniform distribution of Nai 099143856 Form No. A0101 Page 6 / 38 pages 0992075911-0 201224148 Meter carbon tube, the carbon nanotubes are arranged in the same direction or in different directions. The carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube rolled film partially overlap each other and are attracted to each other by the van der Waals force, so that the carbon nanotube film has good flexibility and can be bent and folded. Any shape without breaking. - And because the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube laminate film are attracted to each other by the van der Waals', they are tightly bonded, so that the carbon nanotube film is a self-supporting structure. The carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube rolled film form an angle /3 with the surface of the growth substrate forming the carbon nanotube array, wherein the sum is greater than or equal to 0 degrees and less than or equal to 15 degrees. The pressure applied to the array of carbon nanotubes is related. The larger the pressure, the smaller the angle. Preferably, the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube film are aligned parallel to the growth substrate. The carbon nanotube rolled film is obtained by rolling a carbon nanotube array, and the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube rolled film have different arrangements depending on the manner of rolling. Specifically, the carbon nanotubes can be arranged in disorder; referring to FIG. 3, when rolling in different directions, the carbon nanotubes are arranged in different orientations; when crushed in the same direction, the carbon nanotubes are along a The orientation is preferred and the orientation is preferred. The carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube rolled film have a long twist of more than 50 μm. [0015] The area of the carbon nanotube rolled film is substantially the same as the size of the carbon nanotube array. The thickness of the carbon nanotube film is related to the height of the carbon nanotube array and the pressure of the rolling, and may be between 0.5 nm and 100 μm. It can be understood that the larger the height of the carbon nanotube array and the smaller the applied pressure, the larger the thickness of the prepared carbon nanotube rolled film; on the contrary, the smaller the height of the carbon nanotube array, the more the applied pressure Large, the smaller the thickness of the prepared carbon nanotube rolled film. Adjacent nano 099143856 in the carbon nanotube rolled film Form No. A0101 Page 7 / 38 pages 0992075911-0 201224148 There is a certain gap between the carbon tubes, so that it is in the carbon nanotube film A gap or micropore having a plurality of sizes ranging from 1 nm to 500 nm is formed. The gap or micropores can increase the specific surface area of the carbon nanotube membrane and infiltrate more protein. [0016] The carbon nanotube film may be a carbon nanotube film, and the carbon nanotube film is a self-supporting structure composed of a plurality of carbon nanotubes. Referring to Figure 4, the plurality of carbon nanotubes are preferably aligned along the length of the carbon nanotube film. The preferred orientation means that the majority of the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube film are oriented in substantially the same direction. Moreover, the overall direction of extension of the majority of the carbon nanotubes is substantially parallel to the surface of the carbon nanotube film. [0017] Further, most of the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube film are connected end to end by van der Waals force. Specifically, each of the carbon nanotubes of the majority of the carbon nanotubes extending in the same direction in the carbon nanotube film is connected end to end with the carbon nanotubes adjacent in the extending direction by van der Waals force . Of course, there are a few carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube film that deviate from the extending direction. These carbon nanotubes do not constitute an obvious alignment of the majority of the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube film. influences. The self-supporting carbon nanotube film does not require a large-area carrier support, but only provides support force on both sides, and can be suspended as a whole to maintain its own film state, that is, the carbon nanotube film is placed (or When fixed on two supports arranged at a certain distance, the carbon nanotube film located between the two supports can be suspended to maintain its own film state. The self-supporting is mainly achieved by the presence of continuous carbon nanotubes extending through the end-to-end extension of the van der Waals force in the carbon nanotube film. Specifically, the carbon nanotube film is substantially oriented in the same direction as 099143856 Form No. A0101, page 8 / 38 pages 0992075911-0 201224148, and is not an absolute straight line, and can be appropriately bent. The age of the H is completely in the direction of the material extension, and can be appropriately deviated from the extending direction. Therefore, there may be some partial contact between the carbon nanotubes juxtaposed in the majority of the carbon nanotubes extending substantially in the two-direction of the carbon nanotube film. Specifically, the tube 24 includes a plurality of consecutive carbon nanotubes. The plurality of nai tree segments are reduced by the first end of the van der Waals force. The carbon nanotubes of each carbon tube segment are composed of carbon nanotubes that are flat with each other. The carbon nanotube segments have an arbitrary length, thickness, uniformity, and shape. The carbon nanotubes have better light transmittance, and the visible light transmittance can reach 75% or more. When the nano-personal structure includes a complex, the plurality of carbon nanotubes are laminated to form a layered structure. The thickness of the layered structure is not limited to 'adjacent carbon nanotubes' combined by van der Waals force. Preferably, the layered structure comprises a carbon nanotube film having a number of ten or less layers, so that the number of carbon nanotubes per unit area is small, and the Raman light intensity of the S-meter is maintained. In the smaller fan garden, the nano-like Raman bee strength in the Rain spectrum is reduced. The carbon nanotubes in the adjacent carbon nanotubes in the layered structure have an intersection angle α, and the α is greater than the twist and less than or equal to 9 degrees. When there is an intersection angle α between the Neil & tubes in the adjacent carbon nanotube film, the carbon nanotubes in the plurality of carbon nanotube films are interwoven to form a nerve graft. The nanocarbon is increased in structural mechanical properties. In this embodiment, the carbon nanotubes are arranged in a stack of several layers of nai/cut tubes (four), and the angle between the carbon nanotubes in the adjacent carbon nanotube film is "substantially equal to 90". Degree, ie, the extension of the carbon nanotubes in the adjacent carbon nanotube film, 099143856, Α0101, 9th tribute/total 38 pages 0992075911-0 201224148, the stretching direction is substantially parallel. [0019] The protein layer is disposed in the One surface or two opposite surfaces of the carbon nanotube membrane structure for imparting hydrophilicity and biocompatibility to the carbon nanotube layer, thereby enabling the cultivation layer to be capable of planting the nerve cells and Growth provides a suitable environment. Preferably, the protein in the protein layer is a soluble protein. The protein is selected from the group consisting of a fibrous protein, a plasma protein, an enzyme protein, etc. In this embodiment, the protein a mammalian serum, such as serum, bovine serum or human serum, etc. The serum not only provides a suitable environment for the growth and growth of the nerve cells, but also enables the nerve cells to grow. The nerve cells provide a growth factor. [0020] The preparation method of the incubation layer is not limited, and only the protein layer can be mixed with the carbon nanotube membrane structure. For example, the nanocarbon can be The membrane structure is immersed in a protein solution, and the protein solution is infiltrated into the carbon nanotube membrane structure such that proteins in the protein solution adhere to one surface or two of the carbon nanotube membrane structure The oppositely disposed surface forms a protein layer. The protein solution may also be sprayed on one surface or two oppositely disposed surfaces of the carbon nanotube membrane structure, such that the protein layer is disposed in the carbon nanotube membrane structure. a surface or two oppositely disposed surfaces. The protein solution may also be dropped on one surface or two oppositely disposed surfaces of the carbon nanotube membrane structure, and the protein layer is placed on the nanocarbon by means of a ruthenium film. The tubular membrane structure has one surface or two oppositely disposed surfaces. Generally, when the thickness of the carbon nanotube membrane structure is large, the protein can be controlled to be set only. On the surface of the carbon nanotube membrane structure. And when the Nai 099143856 Form No. A0101 Page 10 / 38 pages 0992075911-0 201224148 Ο [0021] Ο [0022] The thickness of the carbon nanotube membrane structure is small The eggs are typically disposed on opposite surfaces of the carbon nanotube membrane structure. The protein solution may include, in addition to the protein, a biological medium that dissolves the protein, and the type of the biological medium is not limited to be modulating depending on the kind of the protein. Usually, the concentration of the protein in the protein solution is 大于% or more and less than or equal to the surface. In the present embodiment, the protein concentration in the protein solution is negotiable, i.e., the protein, the money is pure egg self-contained, and does not require solvent dissolution. The carbon nanotube membrane structure gas includes a plurality of carbon nanotubes and a plurality of pores are formed between the plurality of nanotubes, and a plurality of micropores are formed when the protein solution is immersed:::na: carbon tube membrane structure The protein solution can be infiltrated into the column, and the inside of the tube structure is infiltrated. The plurality of sheets are for the surface of the carbon tube. : In the P layer of the financial P, there is no surface of the tube. The surface of the tube is two: the layer of the cavity is self-quality. It only needs to be located in the table of the nephron that needs to be cultivated. Some of the carbon nanotubes (4) have a protein solution P. A protein layer may be formed on the surface of the $m carbon gamma structure to make the carbon nanotube membrane structure hydrophilic and biologically complex, and to realize the function of a carrier for growing:== cell growth. This is because, because the carbon tube is not hydrophobic, the rice-carbonized tube composed of nano-rays cannot provide a suitable hydrophilic environment for nerve cell growth. On the other hand, after the surface of the carbon nanotube is covered with a hydrophilic and non-toxic protein layer, the structure consisting of a carbon nanotube covered with protein has been able to raise (4) and m (4) the cell growth. The preparation method of the cultivating layer may further comprise the following steps: sl1, providing the nanocarbon film structure; 099143856 Form No. A0101, page 11 / 38 pages 0992075911-0 201224148 [0023] S12, making the nai The rice carbon nanotube membrane structure is infiltrated with a protein solution; and [0024] S1 3, the carbon nanotube membrane structure infiltrated with the protein solution is sterilized to form the cultivation layer. [0025] In step S12, the nai is made The manner in which the carbon nanotube membrane structure is infiltrated with the protein solution is not limited, and only the protein in the protein solution is attached to the surface of the carbon nanotube membrane structure to form a protein layer. For example, the carbon nanotube membrane structure can be Soaking in the protein solution to achieve infiltration of the protein solution. The protein solution can also be infiltrated by spraying the protein solution on the carbon nanotube membrane structure. In this embodiment In order to achieve the infiltration of the protein solution, the nanocarbon tube membrane structure is selected to be immersed in the pure protein. The soaking time of the carbon nanotube membrane structure is specific to the structure of the nanotube membrane structure and the specificity of the protein solution. Depending on the composition, only most of the carbon nanotubes in the structure of the carbon nanotube membrane can be infiltrated with a protein solution. Generally, the soaking time of the carbon nanotube membrane structure is more than 2 hours. The environment in which the carbon nanotube membrane structure is immersed is not limited, and the protein is not deteriorated. Generally, the soaking process can be carried out under normal temperature and normal pressure environment. [0026] In step S12, The carbon nanotube membrane structure is a self-supporting structure, so that the carbon nanotube membrane structure is directly immersed in the protein solution. Of course, in order to reduce the structure of the carbon nanotube membrane when immersed in a protein solution The surface tension may affect the probability of damage, and the step S12 may further include the following steps: S1 21, presetting the carbon nanotube film structure on a surface of the hydrophobic substrate. The membrane structure is tightly bound to the hydrophobic substrate, and the carbon nanotube membrane structure disposed on the surface of the hydrophobic substrate can be subjected to an organic solvent treatment. 099143856 Form No. A0101 Page 12 of 38 0992075911-0 201224148. The hydrophobic substrate must also be non-toxic to the organism so as not to disrupt the activity of the protein. Preferably, the hydrophobic substrate may also have good ductility, such as a silicone substrate. [0027] In step S13 The method of ordering and sterilizing the carbon nanotube membrane structure infiltrated with the protein solution is not limited, and only the large-sized bacteria in the protein solution can be killed. For example, the protein can be sterilized by high temperature sterilization or ultraviolet light sterilization. The solution is sterilized. In the present embodiment, the protein solution was sterilized by high temperature sterilization. Of course, in order to prevent the protein in the protein solution from being destroyed, the temperature at the time of high temperature sterilization should not exceed 220 degrees. In the present embodiment, the temperature at the time of high temperature sterilization is approximately 120 degrees. It can be understood that when the protein solution itself has less bacteria, the step S13 can omit the sterilization process when the carbon nanotube membrane structure infiltrated with the protein solution in the step S13 is sterilized::... The solvent or moisture in the protein solution will decrease. Generally, the protein solution infiltrated in the carbon nanotube membrane structure is solidified as the solvent or moisture enthalpy [0028] is reduced to form the protein layer on the surface of the carbon nanotube membrane structure. In step S10, in order to increase the adhesion of the culturing layer to the nerve cells and provide a growth environment more suitable for the nerve cells, after forming the protein layer, the step S1 〇 may further include the following steps: sl4, in the cultivating layer A polylysine (pjy-D-iysine, PDL) layer is formed on the surface of the protein layer. Specifically, the incubation layer may be immersed in a polylysine solution to cause the concentration of polylysine in the polylysine solution to be approximately 2 μg per ml. In step S20, the nerve cells include mammalian nerve cells, 099143856, Form Sfe A0101, 13th True/Total 38 f 0992075911-0 [0029] 201224148 Preferably, the neural cells are hippocampal neurons. The method of implanting a plurality of nerve cells on the surface of the layer is not limited, and a solution containing the nerve cells may be sprayed or coated on the surface of the layer, or the layer may be immersed in the nerve cell containing nerve cells. In the above, only the nerve cell fluid may be covered by the culture layer. In order to cover the culture layer with the nerve cell fluid, the nerve cell fluid may be contained in a culture dish. The incubation layer may be suspended in the culture orphan. It may also be disposed on a bottom surface of the culture dish to allow only the culture solution to cover the nerve cells. When the cultivating layer is disposed on the bottom surface of the culture bowl, a hydrophobic substrate must be disposed between the cultivating layer and the bottom surface of the culture dish to prevent the nerve cells from growing on the bottom surface of the culture dish. [0030] In step S30, the culture environment of the nerve cells is not limited, and only neurites can be grown. Generally, the nerve cells can grow in a normal temperature and a normal pressure environment. That is, by placing the nerve cells in an indoor environment, the nerve cells can grow, and proteins such as bovine serum in the culture layer can provide a growth factor to promote the growth of the nerve cells. Of course, the incubation environment can also be brought close to the growth environment of the organism providing the nerve cells. For example, when the nerve cell is a hippocampal nerve cell taken from a mouse, the growth environment in the mouse can be simulated. [0031] The nerve cells are capable of growing a plurality of neurites when incubated. The neurites include dendrites and axons (Axon). When there is only one nerve cell on the surface of the growth layer, the nerve cells of the nerve cell grow randomly along the surface of the growth layer in various directions. However, since the nerve cells themselves will release the induced neurite outgrowth, 099143856, Form No. A0101, Page 14 of 38, 0992075911-0 201224148, a long factor, so when the surface of the layer is provided with a plurality of nerve cells, the nerve cell The neurites have a tendency to grow along adjacent nerve cells, allowing adjacent nerve cells to communicate. Therefore, by controlling the distribution of nerve cells in the growth layer, the growth direction of the nerve protrusions can be controlled. For example, if the neural cell lines are randomly and evenly distributed on the surface of the incubation layer, the nerve cells will each grow a neurite out of contact with an adjacent cell' when all or most of the nerve cells of the plurality of nerve cells are When growing a neurite protruding between adjacent nerve cells, the plurality of nerve cells form the neural network by the neurites, so that the plural god The neurites of the adjacent nerve cells can communicate with each other through the cells; if they meet, they will merge into the same neurite. For example, when the nerve cells are in the shape of a line or array on the surface of the layer When the modes are arranged, the nerve cells in the longitudinal direction are relatively close, and the nerve cells in the lateral direction are far apart. At this time, the nerve cells grown by the nerve cells may extend substantially in the longitudinal direction. In order to enable the nerve cells to be arranged in a line or array on the surface of the incubation layer, the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube membrane may be selected to extend substantially in the same direction i (> The neural cells adjacent to each other are mostly connected by neurites to form the neural network. The neural network forms the nerve graft together with the cultivating layer. [0032] The tubular membrane structure is a macroscopic membrane-like structure, and its area is generally <15 mm χΐ 5 mm or more. Specifically, the nano carbon membrane membrane structure has a length of more than 300 m and a width of more than 5 m. And the nano membrane structure has good compatibility, good occupation, no metal and dense 099143856, No. A0101, page 15 / 38 pages 0992075911-0 201224148 low degree, can be directly implanted into the organism. The nerve graft having the carbon nanotube membrane structure as a main carrier can be cut, stretched and implanted into the damaged portion according to the shape and size of the damaged portion of the damaged nervous system. Activity and Transfer ability, such that the nerve graft including the neural network also has biological activity and signal transmission capability. When the nerve graft is implanted in a damaged part of the organism, due to the nerve implant The distance between the neurons and the neurons at the ends or edges of the damaged portion is short, so that the neurons can be directly sutured by the neurons in the nerve implant and the neurons at the edge of the damaged portion. The two ends of the damaged part establish a signal transmission capability to complete the nerve repair of the damaged part, thereby saving the growth time of the neurite and reducing the repair time of the damaged nervous system. It can be understood that even if the nerve is implanted When the body is implanted into the damaged part, no direct suturing is performed, because the distance of the neurons at the edge of the damaged part of the neuron in the nerve implant is smaller than the distance of the neurons at both ends of the damaged part, By implanting the nerve implant, the growth time of the neurites can also be reduced, thereby reducing the repair time of the damaged nervous system. [0033] The system to be pointed out, usually In the case, the carbon nanotube in the carbon nanotube membrane structure refers to a carbon nanotube that has not been subjected to chemical or physical treatment, such as a carbon nanotube that has not been subjected to surface hydrophilic treatment, that is, the nanometer The carbon tube is a pure carbon nanotube. Of course, if the carbon nanotube in the carbon nanotube membrane structure is a modified carbon nanotube, it is only non-toxic to nerve cells, and should also be protected in the present invention. Within the scope, only the modification of the carbon nanotubes does not have any substantial contribution to the realization of the present invention, because when the protein layer covers the carbon nanotubes, the nerve cells and 099143856 Form No. A0101 Page 16 / Total 38 Page 0992075911-0 201224148 Nano carbon tube shirt straight Lang 1 nm carbon tube system can be ignored. The surface structure of the present invention is actually provided in the method of preparing a nerve graft in a __ structure and a body of a cultivating layer of a plurality of nerve cells and a neurite layer. The product obtained by the method [0035] Referring to Fig. 5, the nerve graft body @1η. 〇 includes a seed layer ίο and a neural network 20 distributed on the surface of the 1G layer. The cultivating (four) includes - a sputum knot (four) and a table of the carbon nanotube film structure 12 &# L 不哲品" or the opposite two surface protein layers 14. In this embodiment, ^ The protein layer 14 is disposed only on one surface of the carbon nanotube film structure 12.: V. The tube (four) comprises a double-coat (four) tube substantially parallel to the surface of the carbon nanotube film structure And the adjacent nano-tubes are connected to each other by a van der Waals force to form a self-cut structure. The carbon nanotube membrane structure 12 includes at least a tube material, and the tube is as shown in FIG. The carbon nanotube flocculation membrane, the carbon nanotube membrane of FIG. 3, and the carbon nanotube of FIG. 4 are reduced. The carbon nanotube film structure 12 includes a plurality of laminated films arranged in a plurality of layers, and the adjacent (four) through the 彳 彳 以 相互 相互 相互 相互 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The thickness of the carbon film structure 12 can be set according to (4). Generally, the thickness of the carbon nanotube film structure 12 is greater than 〇. 3 microns and less than 6 〇 microns. In this embodiment, the thickness of the carbon nanotube film structure 12 is approximately 099143856. Form No. A0101 Page 17 / Total 38 Page 0992075911-0 201224148 0. 6 microns. [0038] The protein layer 14 is soluble 3微米。 The thickness of the protein layer 14 is 0.3 micron. The thickness of the protein layer 14 is 0. 3 microns 5微米。 In this embodiment, the thickness of the protein layer 14 is substantially 0.5 microns. In macroscopic view, the protein layer 14 can be selected only on one surface of the carbon nanotube film structure 12 Or the opposite two surfaces. At the microscopic Above, the protein in the protein layer 14 easily penetrates into the interior of the carbon nanotube membrane structure 12 and coats part or all of the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube membrane structure 12, at this time, There is no distinct interface between the protein layer 14 and the carbon nanotube film structure 12. Typically, when the thickness of the carbon nanotube film structure 12 is thin, for example, the carbon nanotube film When the thickness of the structure 12 is less than or equal to 3 μm, the protein in the protein layer 14 easily penetrates into the interior of the carbon nanotube film structure 12 and substantially covers all of the carbon nanotube film structures 12 Carbon nanotubes. When the thickness of the carbon nanotube film structure 12 is relatively thick, for example, when the thickness of the carbon nanotube film structure 12 is greater than or equal to 3 micrometers, the protein in the protein layer 14 can penetrate into the tissue. The inside of the carbon nanotube membrane structure 12 is generally only coated with the carbon nanotube membrane structure 12 near the carbon nanotubes of the neural network 20. In this embodiment, the protein in the protein layer 14 substantially coats all of the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube membrane structure 12. [0039] The neural network 20 is disposed on a surface of the protein layer 14 that is remote from the carbon nanotube film structure 12. When the nerve graft 100 includes only one protein 14 disposed on one surface of the carbon nanotube membrane structure 12, 099143856 Form No. 1010101 Page 18/38 Page 0992075911-0 201224148 [0040] ❹ [0041] [0042] The nerve graft 100 includes only one neural network 20. When the protein layer 14 includes two protein layers 14 respectively disposed on opposite surfaces of the carbon nanotube membrane structure 12, the nerve graft 1 may include two neural networks 20 respectively. The surface of the two protein layers 14 away from the surface of the carbon nanotube membrane structure 12 may also include only one neural network 20 disposed on the surface of one of the protein layers 14. In the present embodiment, the neural implant 1 includes only one neural network 20. It can be understood that the nerve graft 100 may further include a polylysine layer disposed on the neural network in order to improve the bacteriostasis of the biological graft and improve the life of the nerve graft 100. The road 20 is between the protein layer 14. Referring to Figure 6, the neural network 20 includes a plurality of neural cells 22 and a plurality of neurites 24 extending from the plurality of neural cells 22. The number of neurites 24 extending from each of the nerve cells 22 is not limited, and only the biological connection between the plurality of nerve cells 22 can be established to enable the plurality of nerve cells 22 to communicate with each other. β譬, such as __, One of the nerve cells 22 may extend out of the plurality of neurites 24 or not to extend any of the neurites 24 - the nerve graft 100 of the present invention, having a neural network 20 in the nervous system in the repairing organism set in the cultivating layer 1 surface. The carbon nanotube membrane structure 12 in the incubation layer 10 is a self-supporting structure consisting essentially of carbon nanotubes, and has the advantages of no metal, good elasticity, corrosion resistance, good ductility and low density. Therefore, the carbon nanotube membrane structure 12 can be implanted into the organism along with the plurality of nerve cells 12 connected by a plurality of nerve dogs for repairing the damaged nervous system in the organism, and can be based on 099143856.

[0043] Hereinafter, a method for preparing a nerve graft of the present invention and a nerve graft will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. [0044] The present invention provides a method for preparing a nerve graft, comprising the following steps: [0045] S210, immersing a carbon nanotube membrane structure in a protein solution. [0046] In step S210, the carbon nanotube film structure comprises a plurality of layers of carbon nanotube film, and the extending direction of the carbon nanotubes between the adjacent carbon nanotube films has an angle of intersection. Referring to Figures 7 and 8, preferably, the cross angle is substantially equal to 90 degrees. The protein solution is pure bovine serum solution. Referring to FIG. 9, when the carbon nanotube membrane structure is immersed from the protein solution for about 1.5 hours, most of the surface of the carbon nanotube membrane structure may be infiltrated with a protein solution. . [0047] S220, taking out the carbon nanotube membrane structure from the protein solution, and performing high temperature sterilization treatment at 120 degrees Celsius. [0048] In step S220, after the carbon nanotube membrane structure is taken out from the protein solution, it may be subjected to heat sterilization treatment in a dry box. The sterilization temperature of the drying oven is approximately 120 degrees. After the sterilization treatment, the protein in the protein solution is substantially solidified, and a protein layer is formed on the surface of the carbon nanotube membrane structure to form a seed layer. [0049] S230, immersing in the poly-lysine solution in the incubation layer. [0050] In step S230, the concentration of polylysine in the polylysine solution is 099143856.

Polylysine is attached to the surface of the layer by soaking and providing an aqueous environment. S24 0 is added with a nerve cell solution in the &: bubbled layer until the nerve cell solution covers the layer. In step S240, the incubation layer may be suspended in a petri dish or placed on a silicone substrate. S250, cultivating the plurality of nerve cells attached to the cultivating layer, so that the plurality of neurites of the έhai plural cells grow between the plurality of nerve cells to form a neural network in the cultivating layer. The culture environment of the nerve cells is an ordinary indoor environment. The incubation time can be determined according to actual needs. Therefore, in the environment of step s24〇, please refer to the figure ίο' to keep the various conditions unchanged, and to culture the cells for about 15 days in the room to make the nerve cells differentiate into multiple neurites. When the nerve cells are grown, the protein malformed serum can provide a growth factor for the growth of the neural cells. The plurality of neurites on the plurality of nerve cells are mixed with each other to form a stalk and a transplant body. Referring to FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the SEM image of the nerve graft is not stained and after staining. It can be clearly seen from the photographs of the four electron microscopes that the nerve cells in the nerve shift (four) are connected by neurites. Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. ii, although some nerve cells extend out of a plurality of neurites, they are not connected to other nerve cells through the plurality of neurites, but this does not affect the nerve graft as a whole.
