Gel injects 1h, puts to death animal after 4,7,10,14,21 days, obtains otic capsule.Open otic capsule and expose cochlea, remained in the fibroin-PEG-mDEX gel on REN by microscopic examination.
Result:
After separation otic capsule, we monitor the biodegradability of fibroin-PEG-mDEX gel by timing microscopic examination.As shown in Figure 7, to represent respectively after injected gel 1 hour, 4 days, 7 days, 10 days, 14 days and the situation of 21 days fibroin-PEG-mDEX gel degradations, red arrow instruction be REN position and residual gel.Can find, after injected gel, 1h can observe the stable gel state of white at REN, within the 10th day, sees that the volume of gel changes, and gel starts degraded, until the 14th day gel volume reduces always, in REN, substantially can't see gel when the 21st day remained.
The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention; be not limited to the present invention; should be understood that; for those skilled in the art; under the prerequisite not departing from the technology of the present invention principle; can also make some improvement and modification, these improve and modification also should be considered as protection scope of the present invention.
