Only 20% to 30% of patients can be treated with potentially curative surgical resection.

The active ingredients of natural plants have aroused wide interest in the treatment of tumors. Triptolide shows toxic effects on a variety of epithelioid carcinoma cells. However, there is currently a lack of suitable delivery system for the treatment of ICC. In this study, organometallic framework material ZIF-8 was chosen to load TP, and then encapsuled in HSA micro-nanoparticles for the perfusion treatment of ICC. The results of SEM, XRD, and FTIR showed that ZIF-8 nanoparticles were encapsuled in HSA micro-nanoparticles. ZIF-8 nanoparticles (57.89 ± 12.24%) and TP@ZIF-8/HSA (36.8 ± 4.71%) micro-nanoparticles could significantly inhibited proliferation of RBE cell. Also, TP@ZIF-8/HSA micro-nanoparticles of all groups exhibited favorable cytocompatibility to L929 cells and hemocompatibility.

Current treatments are limited, with autologous nerve grafts being the gold standard treatment for nerve injuries. However, autografting is not always successful and can lead to increased debilitation through donor site morbidity. Tissue engineering seeks to improve nerve injury treatment though the use of nerve conduits. Conduits made from a functional biomaterial can be implanted into a nerve injury site encouraging and controlling axonal regrowth without causing additional harm to the patient. Both silk fibroin (SF) and hyaluronic acid (HA) have been proven successful in the field of neural tissue engineering. SF has excellent mechanical properties and is biocompatible. HA is part of the extracellular matrix and had been used in nerve regeneration applications. This study developed aligned combination SF-HA nanofibers through electrospinning that could be used within a nerve conduit. Both materials were methacrylated to allow for photocrosslinking and additional control over material properties. Methcrylated SF-HA was tested alongside a material containing only methacrylated HA that has already proven to be effective in literature. When characterizing the materials, it was found that through chemical methacrylation HA was substituted at 60% while SF reported a 30% substitution. Electrospun SF-HA nanofibers were found to have a greater diameter than HA fibers; however, SF-HA was found to be more aligned with greater surface hydrophobicity. Mechanically, it was found that both materials exceeded the elastic modulus of native tissue, but SF-HA far exceeded HA in elasticity and overall fiber extension. Furthermore, human Schwann cells attached, proliferated, and released more pro-regenerative growth factors on SF-HA than HA. Dorsal root ganglia neurons also displayed longer neurite extensions on SF-HA fibers.

In this study, a biphasic composite scaffold was developed by combining vacuum freeze-drying and iterative freeze-thawing with gelatin, chitosan, silk fibroin, and hydroxyapatite as the basic materials to explore the feasibility of using them for the repair of total cartilage defects. <b>Methods and Results:</b> Six groups of SF-CS-Gel-nHap porous scaffolds (Hap-0%, Hap-1%, Hap- 2%, Hap-3%, Hap-4%, Hap-5%) were prepared by vacuum freeze-drying and chemical cross-linking using filipin protein (SF), gelatin (Gel), chitosan (CS) and hydroxyapatite (Hap) as the base materials.
