项目摘要

Project Summary The significance of this project is the development of a laser assisted tissue welding technique to close corneal wounds, provide a foundation for innovative treatment of eye disease and demonstrate the unique properties of a laser cured collagen adhesive to repair ophthalmic tissue with superior strength and stability. Millions of ophthalmic procedures are performed annually, most incorporating sutures to close and seal wounds. Yet this method can cause severe complications, can weaken the integrity of the eye and may pose a risk for ocular rupture in the case of blunt trauma. Other techniques to close wounds, including the use of tissue glues or grafting, can be even more problematic. Phase I studies were conducted to measure the biostability of solder formulations, evaluate tissue bonding strategies and compare wound stability as a function of intrachamber pressure in four in vitro models of clinical corneal surgery: radial keratotomy, LASIK flaps, penetrating keratoplasty and cataract excision. The results confirmed that the laser solder approach is superior to standard sutures with no evidence of tissue shrinkage. The strength of the soldered repair was dependent upon reaching a precise temperature set by choice of laser, solder composition and film thickness. Solder biostability is increased by reaction with a standard crosslinking reagent. The specific aim for Phase II is to optimize solder processing, laser techniques and surgical outcome in survivor animal surgical models. Task descriptions include preparation of sterile solder under stringent process controls, design and assembly of a compact preclinical laser systems, optimization of a laser handpiece and perform ex vivo and in vivo experiments on a lapine model. Surgical endpoints will include the quality of the wound seal, the extent, if any, of collateral thermal tissue damage, solder stability and biocompatibility.

项目摘要该项目的意义是开发激光辅助组织焊接技术以关闭角膜伤口，为眼病的创新治疗提供了基础，并证明了激光固化的胶原蛋白粘合剂可修复具有优势强度和稳定性的眼科组织。数百万每年进行眼科手术，大多数缝合缝合线以关闭和密封伤口。但是这个方法会导致严重的并发症，可以削弱眼睛的完整性，并可能构成眼部的风险在钝创伤的情况下破裂。闭合伤口的其他技术，包括使用组织胶或嫁接，可能会更加问题。进行了I期研究以测量焊料的生物稳定性配方，评估组织键合策略并比较伤口稳定性与内室的函数四种体外临床角膜手术模型的压力：径向角膜切开术，Lasik皮瓣，穿透角膜生成形术和白内障切除。结果证实了激光焊料方法优于标准缝合线没有组织收缩的证据。焊接维修的强度取决于通过选择激光，焊料组成和膜厚度，达到精确的温度。焊接与标准的交联试剂反应增加了生物稳定性。第二阶段的具体目的是在幸存者动物外科手术模型中优化焊料加工，激光技术和手术结果。任务描述包括在严格的过程控制下准备无菌焊料，设计和组装紧凑的临床前激光系统，优化激光手机并进行外体内和体内在打衣模型上进行实验。手术终点将包括伤口密封的质量，如果有的话，侧支热组织损伤，焊料稳定性和生物相容性。
