The test method includes centrifuging (5000 rpm,5 min) the erythrocytes and washing three times with physiological saline, followed by dilution to a 5% (v/v) solution. Physiological saline was added to the sterilized stent sample at a concentration of 0.1g/mL, and the mixture was immersed at 37℃for 24 hours to obtain a hydrogel extract, and then 800. Mu.L of the hydrogel extract and 200. Mu.L of the red blood cell suspension were mixed. Deionized water and physiological saline were added to the control group, respectively. After incubation at 37℃for 1 hour, centrifugation (2000 rpm,5 min) was performed and the absorbance of the supernatant was measured at 540nm using a microplate reader. The hemolysis rate was calculated as follows:
Wherein As, an and Ap represent absorbance values of hydrogel group, physiological saline (negative group), deionized water (positive group), respectively.
The photographing results are shown in fig. 17, the quantification results are shown in fig. 18, and it can be seen from fig. 17 and 18 that the hemolysis rate of the hydrogel group of the present invention is less than 0.2%, which demonstrates the biosafety of the prepared scaffold material.
The foregoing description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention, and any simple modification, variation and equivalent structural changes of the above embodiment according to the technical matter of the present invention still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
