To prepare a new type of porcine acellular dermis matrix (PADM) with the new laser microporous technique and verify its safety and feasibility. A novel porcine acellular dermis matrix (ADM) was prepared by using sequential combined decellularization of trypsin, neutral protease and SDS solution method and fully rinsed with ultrasonic wave. Specific laser microporous technology was used to prepare the laser micropore porcine acellular dermal matrix (LPADM). SD rats were chose as the animal models and autologous skin was transplanted by one-step method to observe and detect the graft activity, immunogenicity and vascularization degree of the novel PADM. A porcelain white, shiny, soft and elastic dermal matrix was prepared in this study, the results showed low DNA residue and low cytotoxicity. HE staining and SEM observation revealed that the PADM had neither residual cells nor cell fragments, while the collagen bundles were intact and orderly arranged. All the SD rats survived. No infection or skin allergy was found after surgery. None of the animals lost weight. Histological examination showed that the LPADM was fully vascularized with little tissue destruction in the experiment group. Immunohistochemical staining for CD31 showed ideal vascularization in the experiment group, and immunohistochemical staining for TNF-α showed there were no statistical significance of inflammatory reaction in both groups. This study demonstrated that the novel PADM prepared by sequential combined decellularization of trypsin, neutral protease and SDS solution method and new laser microporous technique was effective and safe in animal transplantation.
