Abstract:
Objective To explore the application of chitosan and its derivative in mesh used in the operations of female pelvic floor dysfunction and urinary incontinence.Methods Certain kind of chitosan solution was applied to a polypropylene mesh and its bacteriostasis study were conducted in vitro in order to evaluate the inhibitive effects of the mesh with chitosan solution on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus,and Candida albicans The minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) of each grounp was measured and its mean inhibition zone diameters were compared by analysis of variance (ANOVA) in two-factor cross group experiment.Results The MIC of three groups were 0.03%, 0.02%and 0.02%respectively.ANOVA results showed that different concentrations of chitosan solution and different strains affected the antibacterial activity significantly(P0.01).The interaction between concentration and strain was a significant factor(P = 0.000 2).Conclusion Polypropylene mesh applied with chitosan solution has an obvious inhibition effects on Escherichia coli,Staphylococcus aureus,and Candida albicans.The difference of concentrations and strains have statistically significant impact on antibacterial activity of mesh coated with chitosan solution.The interaction between them in particular is a significant factor.Antibacterial activity depends mainly on strains itself.
