Abstract(in English) The effect of hydrostatic pressure on the growth of the cell layer of a hybrid vascular graft was studied by seeding vascular smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells on an expanded PTFE graft and co-cultivating them under various hydrostatic pressures. It was found that 7 days' exposure of the hybrid graft to hydrostatic pressures of 80, 100, and 120mmHg resulted in remarkable increase in the thickness of the cell layer (an indicative of the proliferation of SMCs) as compared with non-pressurized control. The difference in the thickness of the cell layer was not statistically significant at 80mmHg, but it was significant at 100 and 120 mmHg where the thickness of the cell layer was respectively 116.2% and 74.5% greater than that of control. It was also found that collagen synthesis increased by 24.3, 90.1, and 15.8% at 80, 100, and 120mmHg, respectively, indicating that the cell layer became thicker under elevated hydrostatic pressures not only by the proliferation of SMCs, but also by the increase in the amount of extracellular matrices.
