Abstract
Aim – to study the morphological structure of lyophilized amniotic membrane preliminarily subjected to physical decellularization.
Material and methods. An experimental study of the preservation of the anatomical structure of lyophilized amniotic membrane was performed on four groups of amniotic membrane fragments. Group 1: AM impregnated with glycerin and dried over silica gel; Group 2: AM impregnated with glycerin, treated ultrasonically and lyophilized; Group 3: AM treated ultrasonically and lyophilized; Group 4: native AM without preservation. The biomaterial was studied using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy.
Results. Physical methods of influencing biological tissue have an expected effect on cell viability and allow obtaining a completely decellularized amniotic membrane. Additional treatment with glycerol before physical action on biological tissue for the purpose of decellularization does not have a significant effect on the preservation of cellular structures. It should only be noted that in the amniotic membrane impregnated with glycerol, more fragments of epithelial cell membranes are preserved and the basement membrane is more preserved.
Conclusion. The decellularization method developed by us using physical methods does not introduce any chemicals into the processed biomaterial that can have an unpredictable effect on regenerating tissues. Preservation of the amniotic membrane by lyophilization allows obtaining a morphologically integral, elastic and durable biomaterial.
