BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

An incidence of bladder cancer is the first named among urological malignancies and increases year by year. Researchers perform a sampling survey of patients who died due to malignant tumors. The result shows that the number of the dead due to bladder cancer is first ten. Bladder cancer poses a serious threat to life quality and health of patients and can be classified into muscle-invasive bladder cancer and non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer depending on whether the tumor invades a muscle layer, wherein the muscle-invasive bladder cancer is a fatal disease. Radical total cystectomy, lymph node dissection, and permanent urinary diversion are a main surgery mode for treating recurrent and multiple invasive bladder cancer at present, are also a first choice method for treating muscle-invasive bladder cancer, and can effectively reduce recurrent metastasis and improve a survival rate. However, the surgery is difficult and time-consuming, and has many complications after the surgery. The method destroys a normal structure and function of a digestive tract of a patient, also has many complications such as intestinal obstruction, metabolism disorder or nutrition disorder, mucus secretion in an artificial bladder, inflammation, calculus formation, etc. after the surgery, and seriously affects life quality of the patient after the surgery.


A non-crosslinked extracellular matrix-based biomaterial uses an animal small intestine submucosa (SIS) tissue as a raw material, such that risks such as immunogenicity and the like are removed, and a structure and active ingredients of a natural extracellular matrix are retained. After the material is implanted into a body, the material endogenously induces regeneration and repair, realizes tissue function regeneration, can be completely degraded in a body, has advantages of inflammation tolerance, adhesion prevention and the like, and is almost suitable for the regeneration and repair of all soft tissues of human body.

Absorbable Degradation Experiment

Test samples: composite decellularized matrix membrane prepared in example 5.1.


Test Method:

(2) Skin preparation: hairs on an abdomen of the experimental rabbit were removed in a sterile environment and the skin was cleaned and disinfected with 2% iodophor.


(3) A wound with a length of 7-8 cm was cut on the abdominal skin of the experimental rabbit, a bladder was found out, a wound with a length of 1 cm was cut on the bladder, and a sample was cut to a proper size and attached to the wound to be sutured.


(4) Activities and feeding of the experimental rabbit were observed periodically and the experimental rabbit was dissected 1 month after the surgery for a degradation study.


Porcine bladder surgery: (1) 30 min before a surgery, a pig was intramuscularly injected with 0.05 mg/kg of atropine, 0.1 mg/kg of midazolam and 5 mg of a morphine hydrochloride injection, the pig was in a supine position with four limbs fixed, an ear vein was punctured, and 5% of a glucose injection was dripped into an abdomen at a lower abdominal center incision.


(2) An incision was 15-20 cm long. Skin at two sides of the incision was fixed by using a thumb and a forefinger of a surgeon, a tip of a scalpel was vertically punctured into the skin, then the scalpel was rotated to a 45° oblique angle of a skin surface, the skin and a tissue 5 cm below the skin were uniformly incised by using the scalpel, and the scalpel was rotated to be 90° to a vertical direction to a skin surface and taken out; if a cut length of a subcutaneous tissue was shorter than that of the skin, the subcutaneous tissue can be cut by scissors; and a cutting force should be suitable to cut out the skin at one time, such that an incision edge was neat and linear, and uneven edges caused by multiple times of incision to influence healing were avoided.


(3) Subcutaneous fat, muscle, and fascia were isolated. The sample was clamped by two hemostatic forceps and lifted upwards by a surgeon and cut between the two forceps. A proper force was exerted. A tip of the scalpel was always upward to avoid injuring deep organs and tissues. Abdominal wall muscles at 0.5 cm away from left and right sides of a center line of an abdominal wall were respectively clamped by using toothed forceps respectively, the scalpel was used vertically to cut a small opening, and the abdominal wall muscles were cut along the center line.


(4) Sterile gauze was soaked by normal saline and then spread near the incision, such that a subsequent operation was convenient, a bladder was reached, and a wound of 2-3 cm of the bladder was longitudinally cut.


(5) Prepared bladder support materials were respectively sewn on the experimental animal, whether the materials were firm or not was checked, a 0-4 micro suture was used, continuous suture and discontinuous overlock were performed, retention catheterization was performed after a repair, and a water injection test was performed.


(6) Continuous suture was performed layer by layer with 2-0 silk thread and abdominal wall muscles and skin were closed. Finally, skin incision was adjusted by using toothed forceps for folding and the skin was sterilized by iodophor for 2 times.


(7) An inhalation of an anesthetic was stopped after the surgery was finished, the experimental animal was given a full oxygen breathing, and after the experimental animal was awake, a tracheal catheter was removed after the experimental animal recovered a spontaneous breathing.


(8) Activities and feeding of the experimental pig were observed periodically and the experimental pig was dissected 2 month after the surgery for a degradation study.


Testing results: a condition of the experimental rabbit 1 month after the surgery was shown in FIG. 6. The experimental rabbit had a good food intake and survival, and normal urination. A suture condition of the experimental rabbit 1 month after the surgery was shown in FIG. 5, which showed that the wound recovered well without infiltration and red swollen, and the surgery was good.


Pathological figures of the bladder of the experimental rabbit were shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. No bladder cell gaps can be seen at radians of pathological sections in figures, which indicated that a repaired part of the bladder was well healed, the bladder support material was degraded, and bladder cells crawled well.


A suture condition of the experimental pig was shown in FIG. 9, which showed a completion of an open bladder repair in the pig.


Pathological sections of specimens taken 2 months after the surgery were shown in FIGS. 10 and 11. Bladder cells in the pathological sections crawled well, which indicated that healing of a bladder tissue was good, a bladder support was dissolved, and the bladder tissue basically met morphological requirements of an original tissue.


In conclusion, the rabbit bladder surgery and the porcine bladder surgery both showed that the decellularized matrix membrane prepared by the present disclosure can prevent water infiltration and was absorbably degradable when used for a bladder repair and a total bladder repair. Predictably, in a clinical practice, when the composite decellularized matrix membrane provided by the present disclosure can be degraded, absorbed, and free of residue, a healed bladder was mainly an autologous tissue.

Result analysis: when the composite decellularized matrix membranes prepared from SIS with PCL, PACA, PLGA, and PLLA polymer materials used in a clinical experiment of the ureter, inflammation and stenosis did not occur, rejection reaction brought by an allogeneic tissue and ureteral hydrops and hydronephrosis caused by postoperative stenosis were avoided, and a problem of histocompatibility easily caused by an artificial material replacement was solved. Occurrences of complications of a patient were avoided, and surgical risks and pains of the patient were greatly relieved. Meanwhile, rigidity and strength of the membrane enable the membrane to have a certain supporting force in a body of the patient. In a normal floating range of the ureter, no contracture occurred and perforation or displacement deformation was avoided.
