Abstract
Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), a hydrophilic substance, was selected as a cross-linker to create the three-dimensional structure of the chitosan hydrogel. The main objective of this research is to incorporate aspirin as a crosslinker in hydrogels to enhance bone regeneration. O-carboxymethyl chitosan (O-CMC) was synthesized. The 0.09 O-CMC hydrogel was prepared and mixed with an aspirin solution at a concentration of 0.05 g/ml. The resulting gel composite O-CMC/ASA with and without human adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC) was then used to fill 8-mm skull defects in the Wistar model for 4 and 8 weeks, enabling an evaluation of its potential to stimulate bone formation in vivo. Histological examination and CT revealed that the hydrogel O-CMC/ASA/ADSCs promoted the migration and proliferation of ADSCs, leading to a significant increase in new bone formation compared with hydrogel O-CMC.

期刊介绍:
The Journal of Polymers and the Environment fills the need for an international forum in this diverse and rapidly expanding field. The journal serves a crucial role for the publication of information from a wide range of disciplines and is a central outlet for the publication of high-quality peer-reviewed original papers, review articles and short communications. The journal is intentionally interdisciplinary in regard to contributions and covers the following subjects - polymers, environmentally degradable polymers, and degradation pathways: biological, photochemical, oxidative and hydrolytic; new environmental materials: derived by chemical and biosynthetic routes; environmental blends and composites; developments in processing and reactive processing of environmental polymers; characterization of environmental materials: mechanical, physical, thermal, rheological, morphological, and others; recyclable polymers and plastics recycling environmental testing: in-laboratory simulations, outdoor exposures, and standardization of methodologies; environmental fate: end products and intermediates of biodegradation; microbiology and enzymology of polymer biodegradation; solid-waste management and public legislation specific to environmental polymers; and other related topics.
