Abstract:The aim of this study is to explore the inhibition of nanocalcium oxalate monohydrate (nano-COM) crystal adhesion and aggregation on the HK-2 cell surface after the protection of corn silk polysaccharides (CSPs) and the effect of carboxyl group (−COOH) content and polysaccharide concentration. Method: HK-2 cells were damaged by 100 nm COM crystals to build an injury model. The cells were protected by CSPs with −COOH contents of 3.92% (CSP0) and 16.38% (CCSP3), respectively. The changes in the biochemical index… Show more
