Objectives: This study aimed to prepare functional composite electrospinning fibrous membranes with the functions of antifibrosis and bacteriostasis, as well as to explore its repair effect on rat jaw defect., Methods: Poly-(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) fibrous membrane loaded with cyclic-arginine-glycine-aspartic acid sequence, ornidazole, and nanohydroxyapatite (n-HA) was prepared by electrospinning as the functional layer (GBRL) for adhering onto defective bone. A barrier layer with the function of supporting and isolating different functional layers was prepared by tape-casting method. Poly(p-dioxanone-co-l-phenylalanine) fiber membrane with the function of inhibiting fibrosis was prepared by electrospinning technology as the antifibrosis layer (AFL). The morphology of the composite membrane was characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The effects of different functional layers on the proliferation of mouse osteoblast precursor cells (MC3T3-E1) and mouse fibroblasts (L929) were studied by cell-proliferation test (CCK-8 method). The inhibitory effect of composite membrane on the proliferation of Porphyromonas gingivalis was studied by bacteriostatic circle test. A rat mandibular-bone defect model was established to study the repair effect of composite fiber membrane on bone-defect tissue. This repair effect was compared with that of collagen oral-repair membrane commonly used in clinics., Results: The GBRL layer could support the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells, and the AFL layer could inhibit the proliferation of L929 cells. Composite membranes loaded with ornidazole could inhibit the proliferation of Porphyromonas gingivalis . Various composite membranes can induce the reconstruction of rat jaw defects, among which the composite membranes loaded with ornidazole and n-HA had the best repair effect, which was better than that of collagen oral-repair membrane., Conclusions: The electrospun membrane loaded with ornidazole and n-HA as the composite fiber membrane of GBRL layer had excellent antibacterial and bone-tissue-regeneration activity. The effect was better than that of the commonly used collagen oral-repair membrane. Therefore, this material has great potential to induce bone regeneration for defects caused by periodontal diseases.

Objective: To investigate the changes in blood lipids and fatty acids profile of mice after different oil loading, and explore the effects of different dietary fatty acids on postprandial blood lipids and fatty acid profile., Methods: Ninety-six C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 2 groups by weight ,maize germ oil group and lard oil group. The mice were given maize germ oil or lard oil by gavage at a dose of 1 ml/100 mg BW, respectively, after over-night fasting. At 0, 30, 60, 120, 180 and 240 min after oil loading, 8 mice were selected randomly from both groups, respectively, and blood was collected via orbital bleeding for postprandial blood lipids and fatty acid profile analysis., Results: The serum triglycerides and total free fatty acids levels in mice loaded with lard oil were significantly higher than those in mice loaded with maize germ oil, respectively, at 120, 180, 240 min. The serum saturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids in mice loaded with lard oil were significantly higher, whereas serum polyunsaturated fatty acids were significantly lower than those in mice loaded with maize germ oil at 60, 120, 180 and 240 min (P < 0.05). Serum palmitic oil and oleic oil in mice loaded with lard oil were higher, whereas linoleic oil and arachidonic acid were lower than those in mice loaded with maize germ oil at 60, 120, 180 and 240 min (P < 0.05)., Conclusion: Compared with maize germ oil, lard oil leads to higher postprandial serum triglycerides and saturated fatty acids levels, that may increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
