Carboxymethyl cellulose-based rotigotine nanocrystals-loaded hydrogel for increased transdermal delivery with alleviated skin irritation. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 338:122197. [PMID: 38763711 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2024] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024]
Abstract
Transdermal rotigotine (RTG) therapy is prescribed to manage Parkinson's disease (Neupro® patch). However, its use is suffered from application site reactions. Herein, drug nanocrystalline suspension (NS)-loaded hydrogel (NS-HG) employing polysaccharides simultaneously as suspending agent and hydrogel matrix was constructed for transdermal delivery, with alleviated skin irritation. RTG-loaded NS-HG was prepared using a bead-milling technique, employing sodium carboxylmethyl cellulose (Na.CMC) as nano-suspending agent (molecular weight 90,000 g/mol) and hydrogel matrix (700,000 g/mol), respectively. NS-HG was embodied as follows: drug loading: ≤100 mg/mL; shape: rectangular crystalline; crystal size: <286.7 nm; zeta potential: -61 mV; viscosity: <2.16 Pa·s; and dissolution rate: >90 % within 15 min. Nuclear magnetic resonance analysis revealed that the anionic polymers bind to RTG nanocrystals via charge interaction, affording uniform dispersion in the matrix. Rodent transdermal absorption of RTG from NS-HG was comparable to that from microemulsions, and proportional to drug loading. Moreover, NS-HG was skin-friendly; erythema and epidermal swelling were absent after repeated application. Further, NS-HG was chemically stable; >95 % of the drug was preserved up to 4 weeks under long term (25 °C/RH60%), accelerated (40 °C/RH75%), and stress (50 °C) storage conditions. Therefore, this novel cellulose derivative-based nanoformulation presents a promising approach for effective transdermal RTG delivery with improved tolerability.

Abstract
Copper (Cu) and Cu-based nanomaterials have received tremendous attention in recent years because of their unique physicochemical properties and good biocompatibility in the treatment of various diseases, especially cancer. To date, researchers have designed and fabricated a variety of integrated Cu-based nanocomplexes with distinctive nanostructures and applied them in cancer therapy, mainly including chemotherapy, radiotherapy (RT), photothermal therapy (PTT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), photodynamic therapy (PDT), cuproptosis-mediated therapy, etc. Due to the limited effect of a single treatment method, the development of composite diagnostic nanosystems that integrate chemotherapy, PTT, CDT, PDT, and other treatments is of great significance and offers great potential for the development of the next generation of anticancer nanomedicines. In view of the rapid development of Cu-based nanocomplexes in the field of cancer therapy, this review focuses on the current state of research on Cu-based nanomaterials, followed by a discussion of Cu-based nanocomplexes for combined cancer therapy. Moreover, the current challenges and future prospects of Cu-based nanocomplexes in clinical translation are proposed to provide some insights into the design of integrated Cu-based nanotherapeutic platforms.

Preparation and characterization of a polyurethane-based sponge wound dressing with a superhydrophobic layer and an antimicrobial adherent hydrogel layer. Acta Biomater 2024; 181:235-248. [PMID: 38692469 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.04.042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2024] [Revised: 04/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024]
Abstract
Bacterial infection poses a significant impediment in wound healing, necessitating the development of dressings with intrinsic antimicrobial properties. In this study, a multilayered wound dressing (STPU@MTAI2/AM1) was reported, comprising a surface-superhydrophobic treated polyurethane (STPU) sponge scaffold coupled with an antimicrobial hydrogel. A superhydrophobic protective outer layer was established on the hydrophilic PU sponge through the application of fluorinated zinc oxide nanoparticles (F-ZnO NPs), thereby resistance to environmental contamination and bacterial invasion. The adhesive and antimicrobial inner layer was an attached hydrogel (MTAI2/AM1) synthesized through the copolymerization of N-[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]-N, N, N-trimethylammonium iodide and acrylamide, exhibits potent adherence to dermal surfaces and broad-spectrum antimicrobial actions against resilient bacterial strains and biofilm formation. STPU@MTAI2/AM1 maintained breathability and flexibility, ensuring comfort and conformity to the wound site. Biocompatibility of the multilayered dressing was demonstrated through hemocompatibility and cytocompatibility studies. The multilayered wound dressing has demonstrated the ability to promote wound healing when addressing MRSA-infected wounds. The hydrogel layer demonstrates no secondary damage when peeled off compared to commercial polyurethane sponge dressing. The STPU@MTAI2/AM1-treated wounds were nearly completely healed by day 14, with an average wound area of 12.2 ± 4.3 %, significantly lower than other groups. Furthermore, the expression of CD31 was significantly higher in the STPU@MTAI2/AM1 group compared to other groups, promoting angiogenesis in the wound and thereby contributing to wound healing. Therefore, the prepared multilayered wound dressing presents a promising therapeutic candidate for the management of infected wounds. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Healing of chronic wounds requires avoidance of biofouling and bacterial infection. However developing a wound dressing which is both anti-biofouling and antimicrobial is a challenge. A multilayered wound dressing with multifunction was developed. Its outer layer was designed to be superhydrophobic and thus anti-biofouling, and its inner layer was broad-spectrum antimicrobial and could inhibit biofilm formation. The multilayered wound dressing with adhesive property could easily be removed from the wound surface preventing the cause of secondary damage. The multilayered wound dressing has demonstrated good abilities to promote MRSA-infected wound healing and presents a viable treatment for MRSA-infected wound.

Mater Today Bio 2024; 26:101075. [PMID: 38736614 PMCID: PMC11087995 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2024.101075] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/27/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Regenerating skin nerves in deep burn wounds poses a significant clinical challenge. In this study, we designed an electrospun wound dressing called CuCS/Cur, which incorporates copper-doped calcium silicate (CuCS) and curcumin (Cur). The unique wound dressing releases a bioactive Cu2+-Cur chelate that plays a crucial role in addressing this challenge. By rebuilding the "factory" (hair follicle) responsible for producing nerve cells, CuCS/Cur induces a high expression of nerve-related factors within the hair follicle cells and promotes an abundant source of nerves for burn wounds. Moreover, the Cu2+-Cur chelate activates the differentiation of nerve cells into a mature nerve cell network, thereby efficiently promoting the reconstruction of the neural network in burn wounds. Additionally, the Cu2+-Cur chelate significantly stimulates angiogenesis in the burn area, ensuring ample nutrients for burn wound repair, hair follicle regeneration, and nerve regeneration. This study confirms the crucial role of chelation synergy between bioactive ions and flavonoids in promoting the regeneration of neuralized skin through wound dressings, providing valuable insights for the development of new biomaterials aimed at enhancing neural repair.

Abstract
Development of wound dressing with robust antibacterial and repair-promoting activity has always been an urgent biomedical task during the past years. The therapeutic effect of current hydrogel dressings containing single bioactive agent like nanoparticle or gas is still unsatisfactory for the treatment of infected wound. Herein, a CuS/NO co-loaded hydrogel (CuS/NO Gel) is proposed, which is constructed by sequential polymerization, reduction, and S-nitrosylation of CuS hybrid hydrogel with disulfide bonds. These CuS/NO Gel patches show good mechanical stability, high photothermal activity and excellent biocompatibility. When being applied to treat infected wound, CuS/NO Gel can not only eliminate infection effectively by the synergistic effect of mild photothermal heating and boosted NO release in infection phase, but also promote vascularization and collagen deposition due to the synchronous supply of Cu ion nutrients and low concentration NO signaling molecules in wound repair phase. Compared to hydrogel dressings with individual active agent (CuS Gel or NO Gel), CuS/NO Gel exhibits better antibacterial and repair-promoting activity both in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, this CuS/NO Gel holds great promise in the future clinical treatment against infected wound.

Abstract
Wound management is a major challenge worldwide, placing a huge financial burden on the government of every nation. Wound dressings that can protect wounds, accelerate healing, prevent infection, and avoid secondary damage continue to be a major focus of research in the health care and clinical communities. Herein, a novel zwitterionic polymer (LST) hydrogel incorporated with [2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl] dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl) ammonium hydroxide (SBMA), mussel-inspired N-[tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl] acrylamide (THMA), and lithium magnesium salt was prepared for functional wound dressings. The incorporation of the THMA monomer containing three hydroxyl groups gives the hydrogel suitable adhesion properties (∼6.0 KPa). This allows the LST zwitterionic hydrogels to bind well to the skin, which not only protects the wound and ensures its therapeutic efficacy but also allows for painless removal and reduced patient pain. Zwitterionic sulfobetaine units of SBMA provide antimicrobial and mechanical properties. The chemical structure and microscopic morphology of LST zwitterionic hydrogels were systematically studied, along with their swelling ratio, adhesion, and mechanical properties. The results showed that the LST zwitterionic hydrogels had a uniform and compact porous structure with the highest swelling and mechanical strain of 1607% and 1068.74%, respectively. The antibacterial rate of LST zwitterionic hydrogels was as high as 99.49%, and the hemostatic effect was about 1.5 times that of the commercial gelatin hemostatic sponges group. In further studies, a full-thickness mouse skin model was selected to evaluate the wound healing performance. Wounds covered by LST zwitterionic hydrogels had a complete epithelial reformation and new connective tissue, and its vascular regenerative capacity was increased to about 2.4 times that of the commercial group, and the wound could completely heal within 12-13 days. This study provides significant advances in the design and construction of multifunctional zwitterionic hydrogel adhesives and wound dressings.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2024; 12:1375784. [PMID: 38699431 PMCID: PMC11063293 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2024.1375784] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Precise healing of wounds in the oral and maxillofacial regions is usually achieved by targeting the entire healing process. The rich blood circulation in the oral and maxillofacial regions promotes the rapid healing of wounds through the action of various growth factors. Correspondingly, their tissue engineering can aid in preventing wound infections, accelerate angiogenesis, and enhance the proliferation and migration of tissue cells during wound healing. Recent years, have witnessed an increase in the number of researchers focusing on tissue engineering, particularly for precise wound healing. In this context, hydrogels, which possess a soft viscoelastic nature and demonstrate exceptional biocompatibility and biodegradability, have emerged as the current research hotspot. Additionally, nanofibers, films, and foam sponges have been explored as some of the most viable materials for wound healing, with noted advantages and drawbacks. Accordingly, future research is highly likely to explore the application of these materials harboring enhanced mechanical properties, reduced susceptibility to external mechanical disturbances, and commendable water absorption and non-expansion attributes, for superior wound healing.

Abstract
Skin injuries lead to a large burden of morbidity. Although numerous clinical and scientific strategies have been investigated to repair injured skin, optimal regeneration therapy still poses a considerable obstacle. To address this challenge, decellularized extracellular matrix-based scaffolds recellularized with stem cells offer significant advancements in skin regeneration and wound healing. Herein, a decellularized human placental sponge (DPS) was fabricated using the decellularization and freeze-drying technique and then recellularized with human adipose-derived mesenchymal cells (MSCs). The biological and biomechanical properties and skin full-thickness wound healing capacity of the stem cells-DPS constructs were investigated in vitro and in vivo. The DPS exhibited a uniform 3D microstructure with an interconnected pore network, 89.21% porosity, a low degradation rate, and good mechanical properties. The DPS and MSCs-DPS constructs were implanted in skin full-thickness wound models in mice. An accelerated wound healing was observed in the wounds implanted with the MSCs-DPS construct when compared to DPS and control (wounds with no treatment) during 7 and 21 days postimplantation follow-up. In the MSCs-DPS group, the wound was completely re-epithelialized, the epidermis layer was properly organized, and the dermis and epidermis' bilayer structures were restored after 7 days. Our findings suggest that DPS is an excellent carrier for MSC culture and delivery to skin wounds and now promises to proceed with clinical evaluations.

Abstract
Tissue engineering for injured tissue replacement and regeneration has been a subject of investigation over the last 30 years, and there has been considerable interest in using additive manufacturing to achieve these goals. Despite such efforts, many key questions remain unanswered, particularly in the area of biomaterial selection for these applications as well as quantitative understanding of the process science. The strategic utilization of biological macromolecules provides a versatile approach to meet diverse requirements in 3D printing, such as printability, buildability, and biocompatibility. These molecules play a pivotal role in both physical and chemical cross-linking processes throughout the biofabrication, contributing significantly to the overall success of the 3D printing process. Among the several bioprintable materials, gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) has been widely utilized for diverse tissue engineering applications, with some degree of success. In this context, this review will discuss the key bioengineering approaches to identify the gelation and cross-linking strategies that are appropriate to control the rheology, printability, and buildability of biomaterial inks. This review will focus on the GelMA as the structural (scaffold) biomaterial for different tissues and as a potential carrier vehicle for the transport of living cells as well as their maintenance and viability in the physiological system. Recognizing the importance of printability toward shape fidelity and biophysical properties, a major focus in this review has been to discuss the qualitative and quantitative impact of the key factors, including microrheological, viscoelastic, gelation, shear thinning properties of biomaterial inks, and printing parameters, in particular, reference to 3D extrusion printing of GelMA-based biomaterial inks. Specifically, we emphasize the different possibilities to regulate mechanical, swelling, biodegradation, and cellular functionalities of GelMA-based bio(material) inks, by hybridization techniques, including different synthetic and natural biopolymers, inorganic nanofillers, and microcarriers. At the close, the potential possibility of the integration of experimental data sets and artificial intelligence/machine learning approaches is emphasized to predict the printability, shape fidelity, or biophysical properties of GelMA bio(material) inks for clinically relevant tissues.

Abstract
Repeated microbial infection, excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, cell dysfunction, and impaired angiogenesis under hyperglycemia severely inhibit diabetic wound healing. Therefore, developing multifunctional wound dressings accommodating the complex microenvironment of diabetic wounds is of great significance. Here, a multifunctional hydrogel (Regesi-CS) is prepared by loading regeneration silicon (Regesi) in the non-crosslinked chitosan (CS) solution, followed by freeze-drying and hydration. As expected, the blank non-crosslinked CS hydrogel (1%) shows great antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), improves fibroblast migration, and scavenges intracellular ROS. Interestingly, after loading 1% Regesi, the Regesi-CS (1%-1%) hydrogel shows greater antibacterial activity, significantly promotes fibroblasts proliferation and migration, scavenges much more ROS, and substantially protects fibroblasts under oxidative stress, yet Regesi alone has no or even negative effects. In the MRSA-infected diabetic wound model, Regesi-CS (1%-1%) hydrogel effectively promotes wound healing by eliminating bacterial infection, enhancing granulation tissue formation, promoting collagen deposition, and improving angiogenesis. In conclusion, Regesi-CS hydrogel may be a potential wound dressing for the effective treatment and management of chronic diabetic wounds.

Abstract
The skin, the primary barrier of the body, is inevitably broken. However, the development of materials that facilitate wound healing with sustained antimicrobial, hemostatic, and biocompatible properties remains a formidable challenge. In this article, we prepared a photopolymerizable composite hydrogel consisting of a hydrogel matrix, a hemostatic/antibacterial agent, and a photothermal therapy agent. The photopolymerizable hydrogel matrix was prepared by grafting the photoinitiator and polymerizable active monomer onto the chitosan chain segment, which exhibits excellent biocompatibility. Furthermore, linalool is adsorbed on the surface of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) to form a hemostatic and antibacterial. Meanwhile, dopamine is employed as a coating material for hollow glass microsphere (HGM), which enables them to function as photothermal therapy agents. Upon exposure to near-infrared radiation, the PHA hydrogel releases linalool molecules from the surface of the HNTs, which diffuse into the hydrogel matrix, resulting in a sustained antimicrobial effect. At the same time, rapid curing of the photopolymerizable hydrogel under UV light forms a physical barrier that synergistically enhances the hemostatic properties of the HNTs. From the above, the results pave the way to develop a potential hemostatic antimicrobial dressing for clinical use in wound healing.

Abstract
Upconversion (UC)/downconversion (DC)-luminescent lanthanide-doped nanocrystals (LDNCs) with near-infrared (NIR, 650-1700 nm) excitation have been gaining increasing popularity in bioimaging. However, conventional NIR-excited LDNCs cannot be degraded and eliminated eventually in vivo owing to intrinsic "rigid" lattices, thus constraining clinical applications. A biodegradability-tunable heterogeneous core-shell-shell luminescent LDNC of Na3HfF7:Yb,Er@Na3ZrF7:Yb,Er@CaF2:Yb,Zr (abbreviated as HZC) was developed and modified with oxidized sodium alginate (OSA) for multimode bioimaging. The dynamic "soft" lattice-Na3Hf(Zr)F7 host and the varying Zr4+ doping content in the outmoster CaF2 shell endowed HZC with tunable degradability. Through elaborated core-shell-shell coating, Yb3+/Er3+-coupled UC red and green and DC second near-infrared (NIR-II) emissions were, respectively, enhanced by 31.23-, 150.60-, and 19.42-fold when compared with core nanocrystals. HZC generated computed tomography (CT) imaging contrast effects, thus enabling NIR-II/CT/UC trimodal imaging. OSA modification not only ensured the exemplary biocompatibility of HZC but also enabled tumor-specific diagnosis. The findings would benefit the clinical imaging translation of LDNCs.

Abstract
Nanozymes, emerging nanomaterials for wound healing, exhibit enzyme-like activity to modulate the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) at wound sites. Yet, the solo regulation of endogenous ROS by nanozymes often falls short, particularly in chronic refractory wounds with complex and variable pathological microenvironments. In this study, we report the development of a multifunctional wound dressing integrating a conventional alginate (Alg) hydrogel with a newly developed biodegradable copper hydrogen phosphate (CuP) nanozyme, which possesses good near-infrared (NIR) photothermal conversion capabilities, sustained Cu ion release ability, and pH-responsive peroxidase/catalase-mimetic catalytic activity. When examining acute infected wounds characterized by a low pH environment, the engineered Alg/CuP composite hydrogels demonstrated high bacterial eradication efficacy against both planktonic bacteria and biofilms, attributed to the combined action of catalytically generated hydroxyl radicals and the sustained release of Cu ions. In contrast, when applied to chronic diabetic wounds, which typically have a high pH environment, these composite hydrogels exhibit significant angiogenic performance. This is driven by the provision of catalytically generated dissolved oxygen and a beneficial supplement of Cu ions released from the degradable CuP nanozyme. Further, a mild thermal effect induced by NIR irradiation amplifies the catalytic activities and bioactivity of Cu ions, thereby enhancing the healing process of both infected and diabetic wounds. Our study validates that the synergistic integration of photothermal effects, catalytic activity, and released Cu ions can concurrently yield high antibacterial efficiency and tissue regenerative activity, rendering it highly promising for various clinical applications in wound healing.

Abstract
Wound care is a major clinical and social concern. However, effective wound repair remains challenging where conventional dressings yield detrimental healing outcomes. An emerging technique, named mechanically active dressing (MAD), uses self-contractile hydrogels to mechanically contract the wound bed. MAD has shown improved healing rates with limited side effects. These promising developments in wound care call for a timely review on the development of such technology. Herein, we shed light on the mechanism underlying mechanically modulated wound healing, carry out a systematic discussion on the status quo of designing hydrogels for MAD fabrication, and conclude with perspectives on design, use and clinical translation for realizing the future goal of personalized wound care.

Abstract
As an important organ of the human body, effective protection of the skin during trauma is crucial. An ideal wound dressing should have adhesion, adsorption of wound secretions, and good antibacterial properties. Two kinds of natural polysaccharide-based hydrogels, carboxyethyl chitosan/oxidized pectin hydrogel (CEC/OP) and carboxyethyl chitosan/oxidized pectin/polyethyleneimine hydrogel (CEC/OP/PEI), were reported by using carboxyethyl chitosan as the matrix, and oxidized pectin and branched polyethyleneimine as the crosslinking agents. Both hydrogels could be formed in a short time and exhibited the pH responsively due to the presence of imine bond. Compared with carboxyethyl chitosan/oxidized pectin hydrogel, polyethyleneimine containing hydrogel can form gel quickly, a more compact and stable three-dimensional space network structure was formed, which exhibited better swelling performance, the swelling ration, rheology property, self-repair ability, and antibacterial performance. When the mass fractions of carboxyethyl chitosan and oxidized pectin solutions are 4 wt% and 9 wt%, respectively, the hydrogel exhibited an antibacterial efficiency of >96 % against both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. After adding 0.75 wt% polyethyleneimine, the antibacterial efficiency of hydrogel could reach up to >98 %. More importantly, the polyethyleneimine containing hydrogel has a significant effect in the treatment of bacterially infected wounds.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses (BGs) are widely used in orthopedic and dental applications for their ability to stimulate endogenous bone formation and regeneration. BG applications more recently broadened to include soft tissue conditions, based on their ability to stimulate angiogenesis, soft tissue regeneration, and wound healing. Sol-gel synthesis has helped facilitate this expansion, allowing formulators to tailor the morphological characteristics of the BG matrix. The effectiveness of BGs in skin wound healing is viewed as a gateway for their use as both a therapeutic and drug delivery platform in other soft tissue applications, notably gastrointestinal (GI) applications, which form the focus of this review. Recent changes in international guidelines for GI conditions shifted clinical objectives from symptom management to mucosal wound healing. The additional scrutiny of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) safety, increasing burden of disease, and financial costs associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease (PUD), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) open new clinical possibilities for BG. This narrative literature review intersects materials engineering, formulation science, and clinical practice, setting it apart from prior literature. Broadly, current evidence for BG applications in GI conditions is sparse and under-developed, which this review directly addresses. It explores and synthesizes evidence that supports the potential use of sol-gel-derived BG for the efficacious treatment of soft tissue applications, with specific reference to GI conditions. An overview with comparative analysis of current BG synthesis techniques and associated challenges is presented, and influences of composition, biologically active ions, and morphological characteristics in soft tissue applications are explored. To contextualize this, sol-gel-derived BGs are proposed as a dual, tailorable therapeutic and drug delivery platform for upper and lower GI conditions. Future directions for this largely untapped area of translational research are also proposed, based on extant literature.

Abstract
The occurrence of uncontrolled hemorrhage is a significant threat to human life and health. Although hemostatic materials have made remarkable advances in the biomaterials field, it remains a challenge to develop safe and effective hemostatic materials for global medical use. Natural clay minerals (CMs) have long been used as traditional inorganic hemostatic agents due to their good hemostatic capability, biocompatibility and easy availability. With the advancement of science, technology and ideology, CM-based hemostatic materials have undergone continuous innovations by integrating new inspirations with conventional concepts. This review systematically summarizes the hemostatic mechanisms of different natural CMs based on their nanostructures. Moreover, it also comprehensively reviews the latest research progress for CM-based hemostatic hybrid and nanocomposite materials, and discusses the challenges and developments in this field.

Abstract
Rapid and safe disinfection and exudate management are two major challenges in infected wound care. Therefore, in this work, we developed a novel wound dressing via encapsulating ZIF-8-derived carbon nanoparticles in a hydrophilic nanofiber sponge to address severe wound infection and heavy exudate problems. The dressing can effectively kill bacteria through chemo-photothermal synergistic therapy. Meanwhile, the hydrophilic nanofiber sponge can quickly absorb wound exudate around the wound and accelerate the evaporation rate of liquid through the photothermal effect and its own structure; therefore, it is possible to remove excess liquid and regulate its wetness. In this way, it prevents the problem of wound overhydration often caused by hydrophilic dressings. In our experiment, the dressing showed good antibacterial performance and biocompatibility in vitro and could effectively control wound infection, absorb wound exudate and promote skin wound healing in vivo. Its good therapeutic effect is not only due to effective infection control and wound exudate management, but also because the structure of nanofibers similar to an extracellular matrix provides basic physical support and structural signals conducive to skin tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Radiotherapy is one of the most important means of cancer treatment, however, radiation can also cause adverse reactions and even serious injuries to the skin. Radiation-induced excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and inflammatory infiltration make skin wounds difficult to heal compared to normal skin injuries. Herein, an antioxidant heparin-mimetic peptide hydrogel (K16, KYKYEYEYAGEGDSS-4Sa) is designed for radiation-induced skin injury (RISI) repair. First, the K16 peptide can self-assemble into a hydrogel with a 3D mesh-like porous nanofiber structure, which can provide certain physical support for skin repair like extracellular matrix (ECM). Then, K16 hydrogel not only scavenges ROS and prevents radiation damage to cellular DNA, but also promotes cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis. Meanwhile, 4-sulfobenzoic acid (4Sa) modified at the N-terminal end of the K16 peptide can adsorb inflammatory cytokines, thus acting to eliminate inflammation at the wound site. In vivo experiments showed that K16 hydrogel can inhibit early wound degradation, reduce inflammatory infiltration, and promote angiogenesis and collagen deposition, thus promoting wound healing. Therefore, the K16 hydrogel designed in this study has good potential for application in the field of radiation-induced skin injury repair.

Abstract
In the pursuit of therapeutic strategies for myocardial infarction (MI), a pivotal objective lies in the concurrent restoration of blood perfusion and reduction of cardiomyocyte apoptosis. However, achieving these dual goals simultaneously presents a considerable challenge. In this study, a Zn2 SiO4 bioceramic capable of concurrently sustaining the release of bioactive SiO3 2- and Zn2+ ions, which exhibit a synergistic impact on endothelial cell angiogenesis promotion, cardiomyocyte apoptosis inhibition, and myocardial mitochondrial protection against oxygen-free radical (reactive oxygen species) induced injury is developed. Furthermore, in vivo outcomes from a murine MI model demonstrate that either systemic administration via tail vein injection of Zn2 SiO4 extract or local application through intramyocardial injection of a Zn2 SiO4 composite hydrogel promotes cardiac function and reduces cardiac fibrosis, thus aiding myocardial repair. This research is the first to elucidate the advantageous effects of dual bioactive ions in myocardial protection and may offer a novel therapeutic avenue for ischemic heart disease based on meticulously engineered bioceramics.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate (CaP) bioceramics are broadly employed for bone regeneration due to their excellent biocompatibility and osteoconductivity. However, they are not capable of repairing healing-impaired bone defects such as defects with conditions of ischemia or infection due to restricted bioactivities. In this study, we synthesized single-phased strontium-zinc-phosphate (SZP, SrZn2(PO4)2) bioceramics via a solution combustion method and further fabricated SZP scaffolds using a three-dimensional (3D) printing technique. Compared to 3D printed β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffolds, the 3D printed SZP scaffolds presented comparable porosity, compressive strength, and Young's modulus, but increased ability of osteogenesis, angiogenesis, immunomodulation and anti-bacterial activity. Specifically, 3D printed SZP scaffolds not only led to significantly higher osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells and pro-angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) directly or through macrophage-mediated immunomodulation, but also inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli). The in vivo study of the rat cranial bone defect model further confirmed better vascularized bone regeneration in 3D-printed SZP scaffolds. These findings indicate that the proposed 3D-printed SZP scaffolds might be a versatile candidate for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
To more closely resemble the structure of natural skin, multi-layered wound dressings have been developed. Herein, a tri-layer wound dressing was prepared containing a polyacrylamide (PAAm)-Aloe vera (Alo) sponge that had been incorporated with insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1) to provide a porous absorbent layer, which was able to promote angiogenesis. Alo nanofibers with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were electrospun into the bottom layer to increase cell behavior, and a small film of stearic acid was put as a top layer to avoid germy penetration. In comparison to bilayer dressing, the tensile strength increased by 17.0 % (from 0.200 ± 0.010 MPa to 0.234 ± 0.022 MPa) and the elastic modulus by 45.6 % (from 0.217 ± 0.003 MPa to 0.316 ± 0.012 MPa) in the presence of Alo nanofibers containing 0.5 wt% of MWCNT at the bottom layer of Trilayer0.5 dressing. The release profile of IGF1, the antibacterial activity and the degradability of different wound dressings were investigated. Trilayer0.5 indicated the highest cell viability, cell adhesion and angiogenic potential among the prepared dressing materials. In-vivo rat model revealed that the Trilayer0.5 dressing treated group had the highest rate of wound closure and wound healing within 10 days compared to other groups.

Abstract
The development of multifunctional dressing materials with beneficial properties for wound healing has become a recent focus of research. Many studies are being conducted to incorporate active substances into dressings to positively impact wound healing processes. Researchers have investigated various natural additives, including plant extracts and apiproducts such as royal jelly, to enhance the properties of dressings. In this study, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-based hydrogel dressings modified with royal jelly were developed and analyzed for their sorption ability, wettability, surface morphology, degradation, and mechanical properties. The results showed that the royal jelly and crosslinking agent content had an impact on the physicochemical properties of the hydrogels and their potential for use as innovative dressing materials. This study investigated the swelling behavior, surface morphology, and mechanical properties of hydrogel materials containing royal jelly. The majority of the tested materials showed a gradual increase in swelling ratio with time. The pH of the incubated fluids varied depending on the type of fluid used, with distilled water having the greatest decrease in pH due to the release of organic acids from the royal jelly. The hydrogel samples had a relatively homogeneous surface, and no dependence between composition and surface morphology was observed. Natural additives like royal jelly can modify the mechanical properties of hydrogels, increasing their elongation percentage while decreasing their tensile strength. These findings suggest possible future applications in various fields requiring high flexibility and elasticity.

Regen Biomater 2023; 10:rbad049. [PMID: 37274616 PMCID: PMC10234763 DOI: 10.1093/rb/rbad049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2023] [Revised: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The increased number of mastectomies, combined with rising patient expectations for cosmetic and psychosocial outcomes, has necessitated the use of adipose tissue restoration techniques. However, the therapeutic effect of current clinical strategies is not satisfying due to the high demand of personalized customization and the timely vascularization in the process of adipose regeneration. Here, a composite hydrogel scaffold was prepared by three-dimensional (3D) printing technology, applying gelatin methacrylate anhydride (GelMA) as printing ink and calcium silicate (CS) bioceramic as an active ingredient for breast adipose tissue regeneration. The in vitro experiments showed that the composite hydrogel scaffolds could not only be customized with controllable architectures, but also significantly stimulated both 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and human umbilical vein endothelial cells in multiple cell behaviors, including cell adhesion, proliferation, migration and differentiation. Moreover, the composite scaffold promoted vascularized adipose tissue restoration under the skin of nude mice in vivo. These findings suggest that 3D-printed GelMA/CS composite scaffolds might be a good candidate for adipose tissue engineering.

Abstract
In this research, gelatin (Ge), tannic acid (TA), acrylic acid (AA) as a matrix are used. Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 wt%) and hollow silver nanoparticles along with ascorbic acid (1, 3, and 5 wt%) are considered as reinforcement. In order to prove the functional groups of nanoparticles made from Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and determine the existing phases of the powders in the hydrogel, X-ray diffraction (XRD) is used, also to investigate the morphology, size, and porosity of the holes and in the scaffolds, scanning electron microscope analysis is used (FESEM). Then, mechanical tests such as tension and compression test are performed to determine the most optimal state of the composite. Also, the antibacterial test is performed for the manufactured powders and hydrogel, as well as the toxicity test for the fabricated hydrogel. The results show that the sample (30 wt% of zinc oxide and 5 wt% of hollow nanoparticles) is the most optimal hydrogel based on mechanical tests and biological properties.

Abstract
In the past, wounds were treated with natural materials, but modern wound dressings include functional elements to expedite the process of healing and to improve skin recovery. Due to their exceptional properties, nanofibrous wound dressings are now the most cutting-edge and desirable option. Similar in structure to the skin’s own extracellular matrix (ECM), these dressings can promote tissue regeneration, wound fluid transportation, and air ductility for cellular proliferation and regeneration owing to their nanostructured fibrous meshes or scaffolds. Many academic search engines and databases, such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Sciencedirect, were used to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the literature for the purposes of this investigation. Using the term “nanofibrous meshes” as a keyword, this paper focuses on the importance of phytoconstituents. This review article summarizes the most recent developments and conclusions from studies on bioactive nanofibrous wound dressings infused with medicinal plants. Several wound-healing methods, wound-dressing materials, and wound-healing components derived from medicinal plants were also discussed.

Bioengineering (Basel) 2023; 10:bioengineering10030375. [PMID: 36978766 PMCID: PMC10045562 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering10030375] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2023] [Revised: 03/12/2023] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
In the present work, simonkolleite powder consisting of Zn5(OH)8Cl2·H2O composition was proposed as a new candidate material for the healing of deep wounds in a moist environment. The powder was synthesized using a solution process and evaluated for wound-healing effects in rats. The pH value of physiological saline at 37 °C using the simonkolleite powder was 7.27, which was the optimal pH value for keratinocyte and fibroblast proliferation (range: 7.2-8.3). The amount of Zn2+ ions sustainably released from simonkolleite powder into physiological saline was 404 mmol/L below cytotoxic ion concentrations (<500 mmol/L), and the rhombohedral simonkolleite was accordingly converted to monoclinic Zn5(OH)10·2H2O. To evaluate the wound-healing effect of simonkolleite powder, the powder was applied to a full-thickness surgical wound reaching the subcutaneous tissue in the rat's abdomen. The histological analysis of the skin tissues collected after 1, 2, and 4 weeks found that angiogenesis, collagen deposition, and maturation were notedly accelerated due to the Zn2+ ions released from simonkolleite powder. The simonkolleite regenerated collagen close to autologous skin tissue after 4 weeks. The hair follicles, one of the skin appendages, were observed on the regenerative skin in the simonkolleite group at 4 weeks but not in the control group. Therefore, simonkolleite was hypothesized to stimulate the early regeneration of skin tissue in a moist environment, compared with commercial wound dressing material. These results suggested that simonkolleite could offer great potential as new wound dressing material.

Abstract
An ideal wound dressing should have excellent antimicrobial properties and provide a suitable microenvironment for regenerating damaged skin tissue. In this study, we utilized sericin to biosynthesize silver nanoparticles in situ and introduced curcumin to obtain Sericin-AgNPs/Curcumin (Se-Ag/Cur) antimicrobial agent. The hybrid antimicrobial agent was then encapsulated in a physically double cross-linking 3D structure network (Sodium alginate-Chitosan, SC) to obtain the SC/Se-Ag/Cur composite sponge. The 3D structural networks were constructed through electrostatic interactions between sodium alginate and chitosan and ionic interactions between sodium alginate and calcium ions. The prepared composite sponges have excellent hygroscopicity (contact angle 51.3° ± 5.6°), moisture retention ability, porosity (67.32 % ± 3.37 %), and mechanical properties (>0.7 MPa) and exhibit good antibacterial ability against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). In addition, in vivo experiments have shown that the composite sponge promotes epithelial regeneration and collagen deposition in wounds infected with S. aureus or P. aeruginosa. Tissue immunofluorescence staining analysis confirmed that the SC/Se-Ag/Cur complex sponge stimulated upregulated expression of CD31 to promote angiogenesis while downregulating TNF-α expression to reduce inflammation. These advantages make it an ideal candidate for infectious wound repair materials, providing an effective repair strategy for clinical skin trauma infections.

Abstract
Mesoporous bioactive glass is a promising biomaterial for bone tissue engineering due to its good biocompatibility and bioactivity. In this work, we synthesized a hierarchically porous bioactive glass (HPBG) using polyelectrolyte-surfactant mesomorphous complex as template. Through the interaction with silicate oligomers, calcium and phosphorus sources were successfully introduced into the synthesis of hierarchically porous silica, and HPBG with ordered mesoporous and nanoporous structures was obtained. The morphology, pore structure and particle size of HPBG can be controlled by adding block copolymer as co-template or adjusting the synthesis parameters. The ability to induce hydroxyapatite deposition in simulated body fluids (SBF) demonstrated the good in vitro bioactivity of HPBG. Overall, this work provides a general method for the synthesis of hierarchically porous bioactive glasses.

Abstract
In clinical practice, it has become urgent to develop multifunctional wound dressings that can combat infection and prompt wound healing simultaneously. In this study, we proposed a polydopamine/alginate/nanoselenium composite hydrogel (Alg-PDA-Se) for the treatment of infected wounds. In particular, polydopamine endows the composite hydrogel with controllable near-infrared photothermal properties, while low-dosage selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) offer excellent anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, pro-proliferative, pro-migration, and pro-angiogenic performances, which are verified by multiple cells, including macrophages, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. More interestingly, the combination of mild temperature with low-dosage Se NPs produces a synergistic effect on combating both Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) and promoting the healing of bacteria-infected wounds in vivo. We anticipate that the designed composite hydrogel might be a potential candidate for anti-infection bioactive dressing.

Abstract
It remains challenging to cure chronic diabetic wounds due to its' harsh microenvironment and poor tissue regeneration ability. At present, bacteria elimination, inflammatory response suppression and angiogenesis orderly render an important paradigm for chronic diabetic wound treatment. Herein, smart-responsive multifunctional hydrogels were developed to improve chronic diabetic wound healing, which could quickly respond to the acidic environment of the diabetic wound site and mediate multistage sequential delivery of silver and curcumin-loaded polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA@Ag&Cur NPs) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). PDA@Ag&Cur NPs and VEGF endowed the hydrogels with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and angiogenesis performances, respectively. The in vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed that our multistage drug delivery hydrogels could effectively eliminate bacteria, relieve inflammatory response, and induce angiogenesis, hence accelerating the closure of chronic diabetic wounds. In conclusion, we highlighted the importance of multistage manipulation in wound healing and offered a combinatorial therapeutic strategy to sequentially deliver drugs exactly aiming at the dynamic wound healing stages.

Abstract
Developing proper wound management via wound dressings represents a global challenge. Ideal wound dressings shall encompass multiple integrated functionalities for variable, complex scenarios; however, this is challenging due to the complex molecular design and synthesis process. Here, polymer composites, cross-linked poly(styrene oxide-co-hexaphenylcyclotrisiloxane)/crosslinked poly(hexaphenylcyclotrisiloxane) (cP(SO-co-HPCTS)/cPHPCTS) with multiple functionalities are prepared by a one-step, open-air method using catalytic ring-opening polymerization. The introduction of a mobile polymer cP(SO-co-HPCTS) endows the composite with good flexibility and self-healing properties at human body temperature. The hydrophobic groups in the main chain provide hydrophobicity and good water resistance, while the hydroxyl groups contained in the end groups enable good adhesion properties. Drugs can be efficiently loaded by blending and then sustainably release from the polymer composite. The material can rapidly degrade in a tetrahydrofuran solution of tetrabutylammonium fluoride due to its SiOSi bonds. The facile, one-step, open-air synthesis procedure and multiple functional properties integrated into the composites provide good prospects for their extensive application and batch production as wound dressing materials.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1158007. [PMID: 36937744 PMCID: PMC10020183 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2023.1158007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2023] [Accepted: 02/23/2023] [Indexed: 03/06/2023] Open
Abstract
In clinical practice, the utilization of antibiotics is still the main approach for the treatment of wound contamination, which lacks the ability to accelerate wound healing and arises the global concern of antimicrobial resistance. Plenty of alternative methods have been explored in recent years due to the fast development of material science. Here, CuO/SiO2 nanowires (CuSi NWs) with good near-infrared (NIR) photothermal conversion ability are synthesized by a one-step hydrothermal method. The as-prepared CuSi NWs possess excellent antibacterial ability against both Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), which could be enhanced by the assistance of mild photothermal therapy (PTT). Moreover, CuSi NWs at suitable concentrations can promote proliferation, migration, and angiogenic gene expression of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), exhibiting a remarkable pro-vascularization ability. The in vivo mouse infect model further proves that the CuSi NWs might be a good candidate for the treatment of infected wounds as the high antibacterial efficiency and accelerated wound healing is obtained.

Abstract
Damaged skin cannot prevent harmful bacteria from invading tissues, causing infected wounds or even severe tissue damage. In this study, we developed a controlled-release antibacterial composite hydrogel system that can promote wound angiogenesis and inhibit inflammation by sustained releasing Cu-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (Cu-EGCG) nano-capsules. The prepared SilMA/HAMA/Cu-EGCG hydrogel showed an obvious inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). It could also promote the proliferation and migration of L929 fibroblasts. In vivo full-thickness infected wound healing experiments confirmed the angiogenesis and inflammation regulating effect. Accelerate collagen deposition and wound healing speed were also observed in the SilMA/HAMA/Cu-EGCG hydrogel treated group. The findings of this study show the great potential of this controlled-release antibacterial composite hydrogel in the application of chronic wound healing.

Abstract
Wound dressings for skin lesions, such as bedsores or pressure ulcers, are widely used for many patients, both during hospitalization and in subsequent treatment at home. To improve the treatment and shorten the healing time and, therefore, the cost, numerous types of wound dressings have been developed by manufacturers. Considering certain inconveniences related to the intolerance of some patients to antibiotics and the antimicrobial, antioxidant, and curative properties of certain essential oils, we conducted research by incorporating these oils, based on polyvinyl alcohol/ polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVA/PVP) biopolymers, into dressings. The objective of this study was to study the potential of a polymeric matrix for wound healing, with polyvinyl alcohol as the main material and polyvinyl pyrrolidone and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) as secondary materials, together with additives (plasticizers poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and glycerol), stabilizers (Zn stearate), antioxidants (vitamin A and vitamin E), and four types of essential oils (fennel, peppermint, pine, and thyme essential oils). For all the studied samples, the combining compatibility, antimicrobial, and cytotoxicity properties were investigated. The obtained results demonstrated a uniform morphology for almost all the samples and adequate barrier properties for contact with suppurating wounds. The results show that the obtained samples containing essential oils have a good inhibitory effect on, or antimicrobial properties against, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, and Candida albicans ATCC 10231. The MTT assay showed that the tested samples were not toxic and did not lead to cell death. The results showed that the essential oils used provide an effective solution as active substances in wound dressings.

Abstract
Biomaterial-based bone grafts are emerged as an effective strategy for the treatment of large bone defects, especially for the scaffolds with enhanced osteogenic and angiogenic bioactivities. However, most studies focused on the direct interactions between scaffolds and bone-related cells such as osteoblasts and endothelial cells, and ignored the effects of material-triggered immunomodulation and the subsequent immune-regulated bone regeneration process. In this study, we developed a silicate bioceramic (Sr2ZnSi2O7, SZS) scaffold with well-defined pore structures using a three-dimensional (3D) printing technique. The prepared scaffolds were biodegradable, and the released bioactive ions were beneficial for immunomodulation, which stimulated macrophages to release more pro-healing cytokines and less pro-inflammatory cytokines. The obtained scaffold/macrophage conditioned medium further promoted the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of a murine preosteoblast cell line (MC3T3-E1), as well as the angiogenic activity of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Moreover, the in vivo experiments of critical-sized calvarial defects in rats revealed that the 3D printed SZS scaffolds could facilitate more vascularized bone regeneration than the 3D printed β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP, a typical clinically used bioceramic) scaffolds, suggesting that the 3D-printed SZS scaffolds hold the potential as implantable biomaterials with favorable osteoimmunomodulation for bone repair.
