The bilayer structure of chitosan him and sponge was designed as a scaffold of skin tissue engineering and a dermis substitute. It was processed successively via the formation of a dense chitosan him by casting method and a porous chitosan sponge by lyophilization. The dry thickness of the him layer was 19.6 mum and that of the sponge layer was controlled at 60-80 mum. Porogens such as sodium chloride, glucose, and sucrose were used to create large pores of the chitosan sponge layer. Human neofetal dermal fibroblasts were seeded in the chitosan sponge layer and cultured for 4 weeks. It was found that the cells could grow and proliferate well in an extended shape on the flat bottom of large pores with 15-100 mum width and in spherical form on the rough pore walls or at the edges of micropores less than 5 mum. Fibroblasts after the culture could bind tightly with the sponge layer via newly formed extracellular matrices to give a living cell-matrix-chitosan composite. The bilayer chitosan material remained stable in shape and size during the cell culture. The results suggested that the bilayer chitosan material would be an alternative of collagen materials which was obviously contracted during cell culture. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
