Polycaprolactone (PCL) is drawing increasing attention in the field of medical 3D printing and tissue engineering because of its biodegradability. This study developed polycaprolactone prepolymers that can be cured using visible light. Three PCL acrylates were synthesized: polycaprolactone-530 diacrylate (PCL530DA), glycerol-3 caprolactone triacrylate (Glycerol-3CL-TA), and glycerol-6 caprolactone triacrylate (Glycerol-6CL-TA). PCL530DA has two acrylates, whereas Glycerol-3CL-TA and Glycerol-6CL-TA have three acrylates. The Fourier transform infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra suggested successful synthesis of all PCL acrylates. All are liquid at room temperature and can be photopolymerized into a transparent solid after exposure to 470 nm blue LED light using 1% camphorquinone as photoinitiator and 2% dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate as coinitiator. The degree of conversion for all PCL acrylates can reach more than 80% after 1 min of curing. The compressive modulus of PCL530DA, Glycerol-3CL-TA, and Glycerol-6CL-TA is 65.7±12.7, 80.9±6.1, and 32.1±4.1 MPa, respectively, and their compressive strength is 5.3±0.29, 8.3±0.18, and 3.0±0.53 MPa, respectively. Thus, all PCL acrylates synthesized in this study can be photopolymerized and because of their solid structure and low viscosity, they are applicable to soft tissue engineering and medical 3D printing.

Recently, many research groups have investigated three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting techniques for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The bio-ink used in 3D bioprinting is typically a combination of synthetic and natural materials. In this study, we prepared bio-ink containing porcine skin powder (PSP) to determine rheological properties, biocompatibility, and extracellular matrix (ECM) formation in cells in PSP-ink after 3D printing. PSP was extracted without cells by mechanical, enzymatic, and chemical treatments of porcine dermis tissue. Our developed PSP-containing bio-ink showed enhanced printability and biocompatibility. To identify whether the bio-ink was printable, the viscosity of bio-ink and alginate hydrogel was analyzed with different concentration of PSP. As the PSP concentration increased, viscosity also increased. To assess the biocompatibility of the PSP-containing bio-ink, cells mixed with bio-ink printed structures were measured using a live/dead assay and WST-1 assay. Nearly no dead cells were observed in the structure containing 10 mg/mL PSP-ink, indicating that the amounts of PSP-ink used were nontoxic. In conclusion, the proposed skin dermis decellularized bio-ink is a candidate for 3D bioprinting.

✓ The technology of visible light-curing resin has recently been developed for use in removable prosthodontics. A quartz halogen lamp producing a 400- to 500-nanometer wave-length spectrum of visible light is used to polymerize high-molecular-weight acrylic resin monomers. While several in vitro and in vivo studies of visible light-curing resin are found in the dental literature, no studies have yet been performed to evaluate it as an intracorporeal implant in surgery. The authors have designed a rat model of microcervical corpectomy to assess vertebral body replacement with visible light-curing resin in comparison to conventional autopolymerizing methyl methacrylate. Spinal cord function tests, spinal-implant stability assessments, and histological evaluations were made in a total of 41 rats at 2, 4, or 6 months postimplant. No animal developed a neurological deficit or radiographic instability, and at sacrifice there was no evidence of implant fracture-extrusion. In addition, there were no signs of adverse reaction in the surrounding tissues. Morphological investigation of the resin/bone interface at 6 months revealed very good implant anchorage. Visible light-curing resin was found to be far superior to methyl methacrylate for construction of spinal implants. Its waxy consistency makes it easy to handle. It remains pliable until light is applied, allowing adjustments in shape for a well-fitted implant without time constraints. Applied in layers, adjustments can be made even after polymerization of a previous layer. This new implantable resin will allow safer, immediate stabilization in patients with neoplastic destruction of the spine, and may also be advantageous for other neurosurgical applications, such as cranioplasty.
