Abstract
Aim The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of GM142, a newly developed gelatin film with a concave and convex structure to a commercially available conventional film, hyaluronate‐carboxymethylcellulose. Methods Patients with primary rectal cancer who were scheduled for diverting ileostomy during laparoscopic surgery were eligible for this study. Patients were randomized before surgery and an antiadhesion film was applied under the umbilical incision. The primary outcome was the incidence of adhesion under the midline incision confirmed by second‐look surgery for diverting ileostomy closure. The secondary outcomes were the adhesion severity score, the extent of adhesion score, the presence of intestinal obstruction, and the success of all patching. Results A total of 146 patients were enrolled. A total of 123 patients were included in the full analysis set. The primary outcome of “no adhesion” was observed in 66.1% in the GM142 group and 55.7% in the conventional film group. The noninferiority of GM142 to conventional film was confirmed (P = .0005). The secondary outcomes were similar between the groups. For the safety evaluation, there were no safety concerns regarding allergic reactions to gelatin or increased gelatin‐specific IgE antibody titers. Conclusions The noninferiority of GM142 to conventional film was shown. GM142 showed no major safety issues. The clinical safety profiles of GM142 suggested certain physiological benefits of the gelatin film as an adhesion barrier.

Abstract
There are currently no effective methods to prevent or durably treat ocular symblephara, the adhesions between the palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva. How symblephara form at the molecular level is largely unknown. We present here an overview of current clinical symblephara treatments and describe potential molecular mechanisms behind conjunctival adhesion formation that may inform future symblephara treatment and prevention options. Understanding how symblephara form at the molecular level will facilitate treatment development. Preventative therapies may be possible by targeting symblephara progenitor cells immediately after injuries, while novel therapeutics should be aimed at modulating TGF-β pathways and effector cells in conjunctival scarring to treat symblephara formation more effectively.

Abstract
Post-operative adhesions affect patients undergoing all types of surgeries. They are associated with serious complications, including higher risk of morbidity and mortality. Given increased hospitalization, longer operative times, and longer length of hospital stay, post-surgical adhesions also pose a great financial burden. Although our knowledge of some of the underlying mechanisms driving adhesion formation has significantly improved over the past two decades, literature has yet to fully explain the pathogenesis and etiology of post-surgical adhesions. As a result, finding an ideal preventative strategy and leveraging appropriate tissue engineering strategies has proven to be difficult. Different products have been developed and enjoyed various levels of success along the translational tissue engineering research spectrum, but their clinical translation has been limited. Herein, we comprehensively review the agents and products that have been developed to mitigate post-operative adhesion formation. We also assess emerging strategies that aid in facilitating precision and personalized medicine to improve outcomes for patients and our healthcare system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To overcome the unfavorable issues associated with conventional anti-adhesive HA/CMC film, we developed an anti-adhesive thermally cross-linked gelatin film. OBJECTIVE We tried to clarify the re-attachability of the film and the required properties concerning the film thickness, stiffness and anti-adhesion effect. METHODS To determine the optimal thickness, 5 kinds of the thickness of gelatin film and the conventional film were analyzed by the tensile test, shearing test, buckling test and tissue injury test. Finally, using the optimal film thickness, we tried to clarify the anti-adhesion effect of the reattached film. RESULTS The tensile and shearing test showed gelatin films ≥30 μm thick had greater tensile strength and a smaller number of film fractures, than the conventional film. The buckling and tissue injury test showed gelatin films ≥60 μm thick had higher buckling strength and worse injury scores than the conventional film. The anti-adhesive effect of re-attached gelatin film using optimal thickness (30-40 μm) found the anti-adhesion score was significantly better than that of the control. CONCLUSIONS Provided it has an optimal thickness, gelatin film can be reattached with enough physical strength not to tear, safety stiffness not to induce tissue injury, and a sufficient anti-adhesion effect.

Abstract
There is a high prevalence of intra-abdominal adhesions following bowel resection, which can result in chronic pain, bowel obstruction, and morbidity. Although commercial adhesion barriers have been widely utilized for colonic resections, these barriers do not prevent anastomotic leakage resulting from reduced healing of the anastomosis, which can result in long-term health problems. To address this limitation, we have developed an adhesive bilayer wrap with selective bioactivity to simultaneously prevent intra-abdominal adhesion formation and promote anastomotic healing. Reactive electrospinning was used to generate a crosslinked gelatin mesh to serve as a cell-instructive substrate to improve anastomotic healing. A coating of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) foam was applied to the bioactive mesh to generate an antifouling layer and prevent intra-abdominal adhesions. After in vitro confirmation of selective bioactivity, the composite wrap was compared after 2 weeks to a commercial product (InterceedⓇ) in an in vivo rat colonic abrasion model for prevention of intra-abdominal adhesions. The composite bilayer wrap was able to prevent intra-abdominal adhesions when clinical placement was maintained. The composite bilayer wrap was further modified to include tissue adhesive properties for improved efficacy. Preliminary studies indicated that the adhesive composite bilayer wrap maintained a maximum shear strength comparable to InterceedⓇ and greater than fibrin glue. Overall, this work resulted in an initial proof-of-concept device that was shown to effectively prevent intra-abdominal adhesion formation in vivo. The composite bilayer wrap studied here could lead to an improved technology for improved healing of intestinal anastomoses.

Abstract
Surgery is performed to treat various diseases. During the process, the surgical site is healed through self-healing after surgery. Post-operative or tissue adhesion caused by unnecessary contact with the surgical site occurs during the normal healing process. In addition, it has been frequently found in patients who have undergone surgery, and severe adhesion can cause chronic pain and various complications. Therefore, anti-adhesion barriers have been developed using multiple biomaterials to prevent post-operative adhesion. Typically, anti-adhesion barriers are manufactured and sold in numerous forms, such as gels, solutions, and films, but there are no products that can completely prevent post-operative adhesion. These products are generally applied over the surgical site to physically block adhesion to other sites (organs). Many studies have recently been conducted to increase the anti-adhesion effects through various strategies. This article reviews recent research trends in anti-adhesion barriers.

Abstract
Symblepharon due to chemical burns affects ocular surface health, and there are currently no satisfactory treatments. To improve our understanding of symblepharon, an appropriate animal model is urgently needed. We established a rabbit model of superior conjunctival sac alkaline burn to evaluate symblepharon severity. Alkali burns were induced in rabbits by contacting the superior conjunctival sac with 2 N NaOH-soaked semicircle filter paper (10 mm diameter) for 60 s, 90 s or 120 s. Clinical and histological features were examined, symblepharon severity was evaluated via conjunctival sac depth (grade I - IV) and volume measurements (grade a-d) post-injury at 4 weeks. With increasing alkali burn duration, corneal perforation and symblepharon severity increased. The 60 s group manifested a sub-conjunctiva scar. The 90 s group featured localized adhesion. The 120 s group was characterized by extensive scar hyperplasia and adhesion. The rabbit model exhibited stable and reliable symblepharon following an alkali burn of the superior conjunctival sac. For further research, 90 s is a suitable duration for conjunctival sac burn. The volume measured using conjunctival sac casting was considered when developing a successful evaluation system for symblepharon severity.

Abstract
Peritoneal adhesion is a general complication following pelvic and abdominal surgery, which may lead to chronic abdominal pain, bowel obstruction, organ injury, and female infertility. Biodegradable polymer membranes have been suggested as physical barriers to prevent peritoneum adhesion. In this work, a transglutaminase (TGase)-catalyzed crosslinked carboxymethyl chitosan/carboxymethyl cellulose/collagen (CMCS/CMCL/COL) composite anti-adhesion membrane with various proportions of CMCS, CMCL, and COL (40/40/20, 35/35/30, 25/25/50) was developed. After crosslinking by TGase, the composite anti-adhesion membranes shown enhanced mechanical properties and improved biodegradability. Meanwhile, the high cytocompatibility of anti-adhesion membranes was proved by in vitro cell culture study. Moreover, the anti-adhesion membrane with the proportion of 25/25/50 was implanted between the artificially defected cecum and peritoneal wall in rats and following by general observation, histological examination, and inflammatory factors assay. The results indicated that the anti-adhesion membrane can significantly prevent peritoneal adhesion with negligible immunogenicity. Therefore, the composite membrane crosslinked by TGase had satisfactory anti-adhesive effects with high biocompatibility and low antigenicity, which could be used as a preventive barrier for peritoneal adhesion.
