Adhesion prevention agent comprising injectable thermosensitive wood based-oxidized cellulose nanofiber

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for preparing an injectable thermosensitive hydrogel for preventing adhesion including mixing methyl cellulose, polyethylene glycol, oxidized cellulose nanofibers and carboxymethyl cellulose. The injectable thermosensitive hydrogel for preventing adhesion is a sol at a low temperature and induces rapid gelation upon in vivo implantation due to thermosensitivity. In addition, the hydrogel can be rapidly changed into physical hydrogel without separate additives or chemical reaction during in vivo condition. In addition, the injectable thermosensitive hydrogel for preventing adhesion exhibits excellent biodegradability and biocompatibility, has no cytotoxicity, inhibits in vitro migration of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs), and exhibits anti-adhesion efficacy in a rat model of sidewall defect-cecum abrasion in vivo, thus being useful as an effective anti-adhesive agent.
