title: [Preparation and biological evaluation of PLA/chitosan composite materials].
abstract: Hypersusceptibility test, pyrogen test, cell cultivation, and toxicity examination were applied in the biological evaluation of the poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/chitosan composite materials. The results indicated that all the materials were negative, conforming to the ISO10993-1. The cell could grow well on the surface of the materials. So the PLA/chitosan composite materials have good biocompatibility and can be planted in the body as scaffolds.
