Abstract

In this research, an experiment was conducted on how the surface wettability and biocompatibility of staplers' titanium nails impact the healing of gastrointestinal tissue. Firstly, the bionic hexagonal structure was prepared on the surface of Ti metal by laser processing technology, and the laser textured titanium samples were observed by scanning electron microscope. Then, the liquid-solid contact angle-measuring instrument was used to characterize the wettability of titanium samples. Finally, cells were cultured on the surface of different titanium samples, CCK8 assay and qRT-PCR were carried out to investigate cell adhesion and collagen secretion on the surface of different samples. The results showed that the bionic hexagonal surface increased the surface roughness, reduced the liquid-solid contact angle, and promoted the adhesion and collagen secretion of fibroblasts. The increased wettability provided a better growth environment for cell growth. Microtexture is an important factor affecting the behavior of cells and its size parameters regulate cell gene expression, which is worthy of further study.
