Biodegradable hydrogel-based biomaterials with high absorbent properties for non-adherent wound dressing.

ABSTRACT: Dressing materials involve conventional gauzes and modern materials such as hydrogels and foam-based biomaterials. Although the choice of dressing material depends on the type of wound, a dressing material is expected to be non-cytotoxic. Additionally, moist dressing is considered appropriate to accelerate epithelialisation, while dry dressing may cause tissue damage during removal. An ideal dressing material is expected to provide a moist environment and degrade and release the drug for faster wound healing. Thus, we have designed a hydrogel-based biodegradable dressing material to provide the moist environment with no cytotoxic effect in vitro. The design of the hydrogel involved alginate-collagen reinforced with whisker cellulose derived from cotton. The hydrogel was prepared via amide linkage in the presence of 1-ethyl-(dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) and N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide (NHS), followed by divalent cationic cross-linking of alginate and hydrogen bonding with cellulose. The high water retention capability of the hydrogel enables a moist environment to be maintained in the wounded area. The constituents of the hydrogel provided a microenvironment that was suitable for cell proliferation in the vicinity of the hydrogel but inhibited cell attachment on it. The MTT assay results indicated a higher fibroblast proliferation and viability in the presence of the hydrogel.

Evaluation of Absorbent Versus Conventional Wound Dressing.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Lower-limb endoprosthetic operations and spinal operations are among the more common types of orthopedic procedures. Postoperative woundhealing disturbances and infections can lead to longer periods of hospital stay and recovery as well as to higher morbidity and mortality. METHODS:209 patients who had been judged to have an indication for a primary knee or hip endoprosthesis or for a primary spinal operation were included in this randomized trial (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01988818) over the period June 2014- February 2015. After randomization, patients in the intervention group were given a trial dressing (Mepilex-Border Post-Op) and those in the control group were given a conventional adhesive dressing (Cosmopor). The primary endpoint was blister formation. RESULTS:In the overall study population, only a single case of blister formation was seen. The affected patient belonged to the intervention group but was mistakenly given a control dressing and developed blisters on the 6th day after surgery. Dressings were changed less frequently in the intervention group, and this difference was statistically significant (p<0.001). The patients, nurses, and physicians all expressed greater satisfaction with the trial dressings than with the control dressings (p<0.001). CONCLUSION:The intervention group did not differ from the control group with respect to the primary endpoint, postoperative blister formation. The patients, nurses, and physicians all judged the dressing used in the intervention group more favorably than the conventional dressing.

Sprayable and biodegradable, intrinsically adhesive wound dressing with antimicrobial properties.

Project description:Conventional wound dressings are difficult to apply to large total body surface area (TBSA) wounds, as they typically are prefabricated, require a layer of adhesive coating for fixation, and need frequent replacement for entrapped exudate. Large TBSA wounds as well as orthopedic trauma and low-resource surgery also have a high risk of infection. In this report, a sprayable and intrinsically adhesive wound dressing loaded with antimicrobial silver is investigated that provides personalized fabrication with minimal patient contact. The dressing is composed of adhesive and biodegradable poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PLGA/PEG) blend fibers with or without silver salt (AgNO3). in vitro studies demonstrate that the PLGA/PEG/Ag dressing has antimicrobial properties and low cytotoxicity, with antimicrobial silver controllably released over 7-14 days. In a porcine partial-thickness wound model, the wounds treated with both antimicrobial and nonantimicrobial PLGA/PEG dressings heal at rates similar to those of the clinical, thin film polyurethane wound dressing, with similar scarring. However, PLGA/PEG adds a number of features beneficial for wound healing: greater exudate absorption, integration into the wound, a 25% reduction in dressing changes, and tissue regeneration with greater vascularization. There is also modest improvement in epidermis thickness compared to the control wound dressing.

Coassembly Generates Peptide Hydrogel with Wound Dressing Material Properties.

Project description:Multicomponent self-assembly of peptides is a powerful strategy to fabricate novel functional materials with synergetic properties that can be used for several nanobiotechnological applications. In the present study, we used a coassembly strategy to generate an injectable ultrashort bioactive peptide hydrogel formed by mixing a dipeptide hydrogelator with a macrophage attracting short chemotactic peptide ligand. Coassembly does not impede hydrogelation as shown by cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM), scanning electron microscopy, and rheology. Biocompatibility was shown by cytotoxicity assays and confocal microscopy. The hydrogels release the entrapped skin antibiotic ciprofloxacin, among others, in a slow and continuous manner. Such bioinspired advanced functional materials can find applications as wound dressing materials to treat chronic wound conditions like diabetic foot ulcer.

Antibacterial biomaterials for skin wound dressing.

Project description:Bacterial infection and the ever-increasing bacterial resistance have imposed severe threat to human health. And bacterial contamination could significantly menace the wound healing process. Considering the sophisticated wound healing process, novel strategies for skin tissue engineering are focused on the integration of bioactive ingredients, antibacterial agents included, into biomaterials with different morphologies to improve cell behaviors and promote wound healing. However, a comprehensive review on anti-bacterial wound dressing to enhance wound healing has not been reported. In this review, various antibacterial biomaterials as wound dressings will be discussed. Different kinds of antibacterial agents, including antibiotics, nanoparticles (metal and metallic oxides, light-induced antibacterial agents), cationic organic agents, and others, and their recent advances are summarized. Biomaterial selection and fabrication of biomaterials with different structures and forms, including films, hydrogel, electrospun nanofibers, sponge, foam and three-dimension (3D) printed scaffold for skin regeneration, are elaborated discussed. Current challenges and the future perspectives are presented in this multidisciplinary field. We envision that this review will provide a general insight to the elegant design and further refinement of wound dressing.

Biodegradable and pH Sensitive Peptide Based Hydrogel as Controlled Release System for Antibacterial Wound Dressing Application.

Project description:The stimuli-sensitive and biodegradable hydrogels are promising biomaterials as controlled drug delivery systems for diverse biomedical applications. In this study, we construct hybrid hydrogels combined with peptide-based bis-acrylate and acrylic acid (AAc). The peptide-based bis-acrylate/AAc hybrid hydrogel displays an interconnected and porous structure by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation and exhibits pH-dependent swelling property. The biodegradation of hybrid hydrogels was characterized by SEM and weight loss, and the results showed the hydrogels have a good enzymatic biodegradation property. The mechanical and cytotoxicity properties of the hydrogels were also tested. Besides, triclosan was preloaded during the hydrogel formation for drug release and antibacterial studies. In summary, the peptide-based bis-acrylate/AAc hydrogel with stimuli sensitivity and biodegradable property may be excellent candidates as drug delivery systems for antibacterial wound dressing application.

Self-Adherent Biodegradable Gelatin-Based Hydrogel Electrodes for Electrocardiography Monitoring.

Project description:Patch-type hydrogel electrodes have received increasing attention in biomedical applications due to their high biocompatibility and conformal adherence. However, their poor mechanical properties and non-uniform electrical performance in a large area of the hydrogel electrode should be improved for use in wearable devices for biosignal monitoring. Here, we developed self-adherent, biocompatible hydrogel electrodes composed of biodegradable gelatin and conductive polymers for electrocardiography (ECG) measurement. After incorporating conductive poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) into gelatin hydrogels crosslinked by natural crosslinkers (genipin), the mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of the hydrogel electrodes were improved and additionally optimized by adjusting the amounts of crosslinker and PEDOT:PSS, respectively. Furthermore, the effect of dimethyl sulfoxide, as a dopant, on the conductivity of hydrogels was investigated. The gelatin-based, conductive hydrogel patch displayed self-adherence to human skin with an adhesive strength of 0.85 N and achieved conformal contact with less skin irritation compared to conventional electrodes with a chemical adhesive layer. Eyelet-type hydrogel electrodes, which were compatible with conventional ECG measurement instruments, exhibited a comparable performance in 12-lead human ECG measurement with commercial ECG clinical electrodes (3M Red Dot). These self-adherent, biocompatible, gelatin-based hydrogel electrodes could be used for monitoring various biosignals, such as in electromyography and electroencephalography.

Thermosensitive Hydrogel Wound Dressing Loaded with Bacteriophage Lysin LysP53.

Project description:Wound infections are prone to attacks from infectious pathogens, including multidrug resistant bacteria that render conventional antimicrobials ineffective. Recently, lysins have been proposed as alternatives to conventional antimicrobials to tackle the menace of multidrug resistance pathogens. The coupling of lysins with a material that will cover the wound may prove beneficial in both protecting and treating wound infections. Hence, in this study, a Gram-negative lysin, LysP53, was coupled with a thermosensitive hydrogel, poloxamer P407, and its efficacy to treat wound infection was tested. In vitro, the addition of LysP53 to the poloxamer did not affect its thermosensitive characteristics, nor did it affect the hydrogel structure. Moreover, the lysin hydrogel could hydrolyze the peptidoglycan, demonstrating that it may have bactericidal activity. Up to 10.4% of LysP53 was released from the hydrogel gradually within 24 h, which led to a 4-log reduction of stationary phase Acinetobacter baumannii. Lastly, the lysin hydrogel was found safe with no cytotoxic effects observed in cells. Ex vivo, LysP53 hydrogel could inhibit bacterial growth on a pig skin decolonization model, with 3-log differences compared to non-treated groups. Overall, our results suggest that lysin-loaded hydrogels may provide a novel solution to treat wound infections caused by resistant bacteria.

Catechol-chitosan/polyacrylamide hydrogel wound dressing for regulating local inflammation.

Project description:Chronic wounds and the accompanying inflammation are ongoing challenges in clinical treatment. They are usually accompanied by low pH and high oxidative stress environments, limiting cell growth and proliferation. Ordinary medical gauze has limited therapeutic effects on chronic wounds, and there is active research to develop new wound dressings. The chitosan hydrogel could be widely used in biomedical science with great biocompatibility, but the low mechanical properties limit its development. This work uses polyacrylamide to prepare double-network (DN) hydrogels based on bioadhesive catechol-chitosan hydrogels. Cystamine and N, N'-Bis(acryloyl)cystamine, which can be cross-linking agents with disulfide bonds to prepare redox-responsive DN hydrogels and pH-responsive nanoparticles (NPs) prepared by acetalized cyclodextrin (ACD) are used to intelligently release drugs against chronic inflammation microenvironments. The addition of catechol groups and ACD-NPs loaded with the Resolvin E1 (RvE1), promotes cell adhesion and regulates the inflammatory response at the wound site. The preparation of the DN hydrogel in this study can be used to treat and regulate the inflammatory microenvironment of chronic wounds accurately. It provides new ideas for using inflammation resolving factor loaded in DN hydrogel of good biocompatibility with enhanced mechanical properties to intelligent regulate the wound inflammation and promote the wound repaired.

Fibroin and Polyvinyl Alcohol Hydrogel Wound Dressing Containing Silk Sericin Prepared Using High-Pressure Carbon Dioxide.

Project description:Objective: To fabricate and investigate the properties of fibroin and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels containing sericin prepared using high-pressure carbon dioxide (CO2). Approach: In this study, fibroin/PVA hydrogels with and without sericin were prepared using the high-pressure CO2 method. The physical and mechanical properties of the hydrogels were investigated using field-emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry, and the swelling, water retention, and compressive properties were assessed. Results: The hydrogels obtained from the combination of fibroin and PVA presented a compositional gradient along the hydrogel thickness and structure. The upper layer of the hydrogel consisted of a fibroin-based hydrogel blended with PVA, whereas the lower layer contained only fibroin. The mechanical properties regarding compression of the fibroin/PVA hydrogel were significantly better than those of the pure fibroin hydrogel, for hydrogels with and without sericin. Moreover, the mechanical properties of the hydrogels with sericin were significantly better than those without sericin. The water contents of all samples were >90%. Innovation: This study assessed a new combination of a wound healing agent and a biomaterial dressing. Moreover, this hydrogel production technique used a clean method without the need for a chemical crosslinking agent. Conclusion: The combination of the fibroin and PVA hydrogel and sericin prepared using the high-pressure CO2 method led to good physical properties. This material may be a candidate for medical applications.
