Dickon pharmaceutical industry hand in West China hospital to develop 3D bio-printing

A few days ago, a bulletin of Dickon pharmaceutical industry has aroused widespread concern in the market. The company intends to lead the West China hospital involved in 3D bio-printing technology field.

3D Printing Consulting Agency WOHLERS2013 published a report that 2012, the 3D printing market average annual growth rate of 8.6%, the total output value of 2.204 billion U.S. dollars, and three years after the average annual growth rate of 27.4%. By 2019, the 3D print market will reach $6 billion trillion, and the market for medical applications will be 15.1%, which is expected to reach $1.9 billion trillion by 2025.

Breakthrough in domestic applications

At present, the application of 3D bio-printing technology in China also has a breakthrough.

Recently, Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University announced that the Department of Cardiac surgery to apply the three-dimensional printing technology to the use of aortic valve replacement surgery (TAVI), successfully for a 77-year-old aortic valve Severe stenosis combined closure of patients with TAVI surgery planning and navigation for the first time in the country.

It is reported that the hospital heart surgery deputy chief physician Lai only time-consuming 1 hours that the successful completion of Tavi surgery, the patient X-ray exposure time than previously shortened by half, contrast agent dosage reduced by 1/3, intraoperative and postoperative vital signs are very smooth, the review showed that the prosthetic valve positioning accurate, normal work. According to the above topic Group's head, Professor Mitral, 3D printing is a revolutionary new technology in recent years, in the field of medical applications, has been in orthopedics, dentistry and other major clinical use, but in the application of cardiac surgery has just started, only a very few cases abroad.

According to the Daily economic news reporter, Zhongshan Hospital heart surgery Minimally invasive team since 2014 to explore the feasibility of Tavi surgery fusion 3D printing technology. The difference between Tavi surgery and conventional thoracotomy is that doctors are unable to look at the full picture of the heart during surgery, and at present they can only view the two-dimensional effect through CT, MRI, and heart examination, and it is even more impossible to open the heart to observe its interior nuances. The difficulty is that the surgeon should carefully study and calculate the patient's heart and aorta image data before surgery, two times to build three-dimensional effect, and accordingly in the operation of the selection of the appropriate prosthetic valve model, to determine the DSA ball tube projection angle, planning the catheter into the line, to determine valve release position, there is a certain risk.

and 3D printing technology can solve the above problems, the doctor only need to collect high-resolution CT and heart super two-dimensional image, you can print a lifelike heart model, and to develop a more detailed and meticulous surgery plan, can be simulated before operation, to a certain extent to circumvent the risk of surgery.

Professor Dai Karki, orthopedic director of Huaxi Hospital, said at present, the application of 3D printing technology in the medical profession is mainly embodied in three aspects: first, the medical devices that need not be left in the body, including medical model, diagnosis and treatment equipment, rehabilitation accessory, prosthesis, hearing aid, dental Department, surgical guide plate and so on , cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy, bioceramic and polymer materials, through 3D printing of bones, cartilage, joints, teeth and other products, through surgery implanted human body; The third is the 3D biological printing, that is, the use of cells and growth factors of "biological ink", combined with other materials to print out products, in vitro and in vivo cultivation, form an organizational structure with physiological functions. Once successful, the 13 D bio-printing technology is expected to solve the global problem of inadequate transplant organs.

3D bio-printing still faces technical challenges

It is understood that 3D bio-printing is to use from the body's own collection of physiological and pathological information to construct a digital template, the application of the human system to adapt to the material directly printed out configuration flexible personalized products. At present, the technology and materials and other factors have not been limited to promote, the world are actively planning 3D bio-printing research and development and industrialization. At present, 3D Bio-printing technology is still in the initial stage, mainly used in the skull, teeth, artificial ear, organ model production. At home and abroad, there have been some successful cases of ear, bone, heart and other organ printing, and the success of clinical trials has been achieved.

Recently, the A-share listed companies di Kang pharmaceutical industry to sniff the business opportunities, take the lead in it.

Dickon Pharmaceutical Industry recently issued a bulletin showed that the company's subsidiary division of Sichuan Connaught Biotech Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the British Connaught Biological) to invest in the establishment of 3D bio-printing industrial base, the initial investment of the project does not exceed 50 million yuan. January 15, the Anglo-Biotech and the Huaxi Hospital of Sichuan University signed the Strategic cooperation Framework Agreement on Project development cooperation. The two sides work together for the development of 3D bio-printing industry to implement strategic cooperation, by the Dickon pharmaceutical investment to start 3D Bio-print product research and development projects; Huaxi Hospital to the necessary academic and technical team, Space equipment resources support, in the enterprise project funds to implement the application research and development. The two sides will be "regeneration and reconstruction of 3D printing" as the theme, batch by step selection, contract specific research and development projects, to carry out the clinical application of products-oriented engineering and technical strategic cooperation.

Daily economic news reporter learned that Sichuan Huaxi Hospital in the medical field of application of 3D printing technology has been successful experience. Liu, a professional professor of orthopaedic spine surgery in the hospital, uses 3D printing technology for a patient with multiple segmental cervical intervertebral disc herniation with vertebral canal stenosis, a single open cervical vertebral canal enlargement was performed. November 2014, the Institute of Vascular Surgery and the University of Sichuan Regenerative Medicine Research Center, the use of 3D printing technology to complete peri-operative evaluation and successfully performed the endovascular repair of the abdominal aortic aneurysm (EVAR) in elderly patients with a complex tumor of the abdominal aortic aneurysm.

It is noteworthy that the Sichuan Regenerative Medicine Research Center Professor Kangyukian, is the country's first "thousand People plan" national distinguished experts, in the international is to introduce the printing technology into the regenerative medicine field to engage in 3D bio-printing technology research leader. Kangyukian's research team carries out biological printing of heart and blood vessels that, if successful, can mimic certain functions of the heart and can be applied to medical care.

Although the 3D bio-printing technology has achieved good results, but there are still some technical problems to be solved. "Daily economic news" reporter learned that 3D bio-printing in the field of regenerative medicine, there are two unsolved problems: first, the personalized printer, the accuracy of the full compliance with human organ requirements of the printer has not yet appeared; second, the biological material, that is, the traditional sense of the printer "ink" has not been out of technical restrictions.

Professor Kangyukian has also said that even if printers and "ink" problems have been broken, given the complexity of human structure, how to make the printed live cells to maintain long-term vitality, how to create micro-environment to make its long-term growth is also a difficult problem. The current research is mostly in the "mechanical organ" printing, because the lack of biological materials, the printed organ is only a model, does not have the function of human organs.
