Methods: Cell morphology observation, MTT and DNA assay were used to evaluate the influence of the composite on the morphology, growth and proliferation of cultured L-929 cells. Results: The composite did not impair the morphology of cultured cells in vitro. MTT and DNA assay demonstrated that the growth and proliferation of the cultured cells were not significantly inhibited by the composite. Conclusion : The composites have fine cytocompatibility and are safe for clinical use of reconstruction of chest wall defects.展开更多
