Abstract
A hemostatic dressing refers to a specific category of medical dressings that have been developed for managing and controlling bleeding. A synthesized hyaluronic acid/collagen (HA/COL) membrane integrated with tranexamic acid (TRAX) and/or vitamin K (Vit K) using the lyophilization technique is fabricated, followed by physical, chemical, and biological assessment. The clotting time and coagulation variables, as prothrombin (PT), partial thromboplastin time (PPT), and international normalized ratio (INR), were also assessed. The antimicrobial properties were tested against Gram-positive & Gram-negative bacteria, yeast, and fungi. The obtained membranes exhibited porous and swellable characteristics, demonstrating their ability to encapsulate vitamin K and/or tranexamic acid effectively. The cell studies demonstrated that the samples containing vitamin K exhibited less toxicity, in contrast to the TRAX compounds. The assessment of cytotoxicity is substantiated by conducting research on wound healing and determining the IC50 values. Additionally, the samples of vitamin K exhibited rapid clotting, which was corroborated by assessing the coagulation blood factors such as PT, PTT, and INR. The antibacterial activity seen in all samples can be attributed to the presence of HA among the membrane constituents. It is advisable to integrate vitamin K into the HA/COL membrane rather than within TRAX or a combination of TRAX.
期刊介绍:
Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces is an international journal devoted to fundamental and applied research on colloid and interfacial phenomena in relation to systems of biological origin, having particular relevance to the medical, pharmaceutical, biotechnological, food and cosmetic fields.
Submissions that: (1) deal solely with biological phenomena and do not describe the physico-chemical or colloid-chemical background and/or mechanism of the phenomena, and (2) deal solely with colloid/interfacial phenomena and do not have appropriate biological content or relevance, are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
The journal publishes regular research papers, reviews, short communications and invited perspective articles, called BioInterface Perspectives. The BioInterface Perspective provide researchers the opportunity to review their own work, as well as provide insight into the work of others that inspired and influenced the author. Regular articles should have a maximum total length of 6,000 words. In addition, a (combined) maximum of 8 normal-sized figures and/or tables is allowed (so for instance 3 tables and 5 figures). For multiple-panel figures each set of two panels equates to one figure. Short communications should not exceed half of the above. It is required to give on the article cover page a short statistical summary of the article listing the total number of words and tables/figures.
