In this study, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) tubular membranes with added polyethylene glycol to create pores in the skin layer were prepared to improve their diffusion property. In a static incubation study, islets cultured in the PVA tubular membranes still demonstrated their function of secreting insulin after 30 days. When the tubular PVA bioartificial pancreas was perifused in a small chamber with RPMI-1640 medium containing glucose at concentrations of 5.6-16.6 mmol/L, insulin release began to increase without delay. Therefore, such a membrane is an alternative potential material for a bioartificial pancreas. In addition, a mathematical mass transfer model of insulin release was developed and compared with the perifusion data. It was shown that satisfactory kinetics could be achieved with a PVA membrane. However, the model showed that the insulin output of islets cultured in the PVA tubular membrane must be increased to improve the performance significantly. These findings suggest that a bioartificial pancreas using a PVA membrane is a promising material, but the technique for seeding islets in the chamber requires further modification.Islets of Langerhans surrounded by a semipermeable membrane to prevent an immune response by the host immunosystem is a potential way of treating type I diabetes mellitus.
