A hierarchical support vector regression (SVR) model (HSVRM) was employed to correlate the compositions and mechanical properties of bicomponent stents composed of poly(lactic--glycolic acid) (PGLA) film and poly(glycolic acid) (PGA) fibers for urethral repair for the first time. PGLA film and PGA fibers could provide ureteral stents with good compressive and tensile properties, respectively. In bicomponent stents, high film content led to high stiffness, while high fiber content resulted in poor compressional properties. To simplify the procedures to optimize the ratio of PGLA film and PGA fiber in the stents, a hierarchical support vector regression model (HSVRM) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm were used to construct relationships between the film-to-fiber weight ratio and the measured compressional/tensile properties of the stents. The experimental data and simulated data fit well, proving that the HSVRM could closely reflect the relationship between the component ratio and performance properties of the ureteral stents.

This experimental study on the biodegradable properties of poly(glycolide-co-lactide)[PGLA] film in vivo and in vitro was aimed to investigate the relationship between in vivo degradation process and in vitro degradation process. First, PGLA film was cut to 1 cm x 1 cm in size. It was put into artificial saliva and PBS solution respectively in vitro, and was implanted into subcutaneous tissue in Wistar rat in vivo.

This study was aimed to evaluate the cyto-compatibility of PGLA film for periodontal guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and their degradable products. Different extraction temperature, time and ratio were used to assess the cell relative growth rate (RGR) for PGLA. The degradable solution were brought into contact with cultured cells in vitro to observe the effects of cytotoxicity at 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 weeks.

We present a first study using synchrotron grazing incidence diffraction and X-ray reflectivity measurements on mixed phospholipid/peptide monolayers at the air/water interface. The thermodynamic properties of the pure and mixed monolayers were characterized using the classical film balance technique. Surface pressure/potential-area isotherms showed that the antimicrobial frog skin peptide PGLa formed a very stable monolayer with two PGLa molecules per kinetic unit and a collapse pressure of ~22 mN/m.
