RESUMO
Electrospinning promisingly fabricate mats for Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR). Due to a chronic inflammatory pathology in periodontal, it is highly desirable to develop a novel GTR mats to realize tissue regeneration under control of infection. In the study, coaxial electrospinning was firstly conducted to fabricate dual drug loaded fiber mats with core/shell structure. Naringin-loaded polyvinylpyrrolidone was designed as core fiber to enrich tissue regeneration and metronidazole-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) as shell fiber to inhibit bacterial. TEM revealed that the fibers with distinct core/shell structure were in an outer diameter of 1.5-1.7⯵m with an inner diameter of <1.0⯵m. The loading of dual drug decreased the tensile strength and elongation of the coaxial fiber mats. On in vitro assessment, metronidazole had a short-term release while naringin had a long-term release behavior in all the coaxial mats. The colonization of anaerobic bacteria on the mats effectively were inhibited over 21â¯days. Furthermore, the dual drug loaded coaxial fiber mats were observed to positively supported the adhesion and proliferation of MC3T3-E1 and was conductive to high alkaline phosphatase express. Thus, a simple and effective coaxial electrospinning approach was demonstrated for the fabrication of anti-infective GTR mats with promoting tissue regeneration.
