Antibacterial and biodegradable tissue nano-adhesives for rapid wound closure.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although various organic tissue adhesives designed to facilitate would healing are gaining popularity in diverse clinical applications, they present significant inherent limitations, such as rejection, infections, toxicity and/or excessive swelling. It is highly desirable to develop efficient, biocompatible and anti-bacterial tissue adhesives for skin wound healing.

Purpose

Inspired by the fact that inorganic nanoparticles can directly glue tissues through the "nanobridging effect", herein disulfide bond-bridged nanosilver-decorated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Ag-MSNs) was constructed as an effective and safe tissue adhesive with antibacterial and degradable properties for wound closure and healing.

Materials and methods

Ag-MSNs was fabricated by controlled reduce of ultrasmall nanosilvers onto the both surface and large pore of biodegradable MSNs. The obtained MSNs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and measurement of size distribution, zeta potential, and mesopore properties. Furthermore, adhesion strength test, anti-bacterial assessment, mouse skin wound model, and MTT assays were used to investigate the tissue adhesive property, antibacterial effect, biodegradability and biocompatibility of the Ag-MSNs.

Results

Ag-MSNs exhibited not only strong adhesive properties but also excellent antibacterial activities than that of MSNs. Importantly, this antibacterial nano-adhesive achieved rapid and efficient closure and healing of wounds in comparison to sutures or MSNs in a mouse skin wound model. Furthermore, Ag-MSNs with fast degradable behavior caused little cellular toxicity and even less systemic toxicity during wound healing.

Conclusion

Our findings suggest that biodegradable Ag-MSNs can be employed as the next generation of nano-adhesives for rapid wound closure and aesthetic wound healing.

Project description:BackgroundSkin closure techniques during minimally-invasive gynecologic surgery is largely based on surgeon preference. The optimum technique would theoretically be safe, rapid, inexpensive, and result in good cosmetic appearance. Cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive (Dermabond) may be a comparable and safe option for port site closure as compared with subcuticular suture. In this randomized clinical trial, we hypothesized that operative time for skin closure would be less than subcuticular suture during robotic urogynecologic procedures.AimTo compare skin closure during robotic urogynecologic surgeries for tissue adhesives and subcuticular suture.MethodsFifty female subjects > 18 years of age undergoing robotic urogynecologic procedures were randomized to have port site closure with either cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive (n = 25) or subcuticular suture (n = 25). All procedures and postoperative evaluations were performed by the same board certified Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgeon. Incisional closure time was recorded. Each subject was followed for 12-wk postoperatively. Incision cosmesis was evaluated using the Stony Brook Scar Evaluation Scale.ResultsA total of 47 subjects (cyanoacrylate group, n = 23; suture group, n = 24) completed the 12-wk postoperative evaluation. Closure time was significantly less (P < 0.0005) using cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive (5.4 ± 2.0 min) than subcuticular suture (24.9 ± 5.6 min). Cosmesis scores were significantly higher in the cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive group than subcuticular suture (P = 0.025). No differences were found between bleeding, infection, or dehiscence (P = 1.00, P = 0.609, P = 0.234, respectively). No statistical demographical differences existed between the two study arms.ConclusionOur study supported our original hypothesis that cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive for port site closure during robotic urogynecolgic procedures uses less time than with subcuticular suture. Our study also supports that tissue adhesive is comparable to cosmetic outcome while not jeopardizing rates of bleeding, infection, or dehiscence.
