Abstract Background Biological composite scaffolds are increasingly being used in abdominal wall reconstruction but still have certain shortcomings. The present study describes here a novel three-dimensional (3D) scaffold fabricated by combining 3D printing (3DP) and electrospinning (ESP). Methods Biological composite scaffolds are composed of integrated 3DP interconnected macrofiber and random ESP microfiber networks. The 3DP scaffold retains intact 3D architecture and mechanical properties, while the ESP network serves as a cell entrapment system at the extracellular matrix (ECM) scale. Biological composite scaffolds are implanted in a defective rat abdominal wall to detect if it could induce early vascularization and reconstruction of the tissue defect. Results SEM analysis reveals a pore diameter of 424.47 ± 58.49 μm and a porosity of 70.46 ± 2.48% for biological composite scaffolds. In the in vitro test of cell proliferation, biological composite scaffolds do not affect rat dermal fibroblast proliferation in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The animal experiments show tissue remodeling and early angiogenesis as compared to 3DP scaffolds. Conclusions Our experiment prepares a biological scaffold with both a macro- and microscale structure by ESP and 3DP technology. Thus, the integration of 3DP and ESP techniques provides a new set of smart scaffolds for abdominal wall defect and hernia repair.

There is growing awareness and concern about reproductive hazards in the workplace. Sound and vibration have long been recognized as occupational hazards, but there are no guidelines or consensus standards for foetal protection. A three-dimensional analysis of sound pressure level (SPL) within the abdomen was used to show how sound and vibration of various frequencies are transmitted throughout the abdominal segment of sheep. Sinusoidal stimulation was provided with a mechanical vibrator placed on the anterior abdominal wall just posterior to the umbilicus. A hydrophone was placed at 45 intraabdominal locations within a space measuring 20×20×25 cm centered over the mechanical oscillator. Pure tones of 10, 100, 1000 and 2000 hertz were used to stimulate the abdominal wall. Intraabdominal SPL was negatively correlated with distance between the hydrophone and the vibrator (p<0.0001) and was negatively correlated with frequency of vibration (p<0.0001). The rate at which the system attenuated high frequencies was greater than for lower frequencies and it attenuated higher frequencies more uniformly throughout the entire abdomen (p<0.0001).
