However, a clear understanding of the heterogeneity within this class of dressings is lacking. Numerous sources of variability exist between alginate dressings: their composition (% of calcium alginate relative to other components), the ratio of D-Mannuronic and L-Guluronic acids in the alginate fraction, their purity (presence of toxic contaminants), and the shape of their fibers (surface and thickness). These parameters affect the performance and safety of alginate dressings, which may thus not be interchangeable in clinical practice. Therefore, clinicians must be aware of these differences to ensure optimal treatment and avoid complications or suboptimal healing. The objective of this study was to compare six alginate dressings to conclude or not on their equivalence. The results obtained demonstrate considerable variability between alginate dressings in the assessed characteristics: composition, Ca²⁺ release, level of cytotoxicity, fiber shape, draining capacity, and their resistance to traction. Algostéril, the only pure calcium alginate rich in G, releases a specific dose of Ca²⁺ and is the only non-cytotoxic dressing. With its multilobed fibers that are statistically the thickest, it provides the best draining capacity and greatest resistance to traction. These results demonstrate that alginate dressings are not equivalent. Each dressing is distinct, and consequently the clinical performance of one cannot be transposed to the others. Therefore, each alginate dressing should demonstrate its own efficacy, in a given indication, through a clinical trial.</p>","PeriodicalId":15269,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biomedical materials research.

Addressing the shortcomings of existing zirconia materials, this study aims to investigate the mechanical properties of microporous surface zirconia ceramics and their impact on the biological behavior of human gingival cells. Microporous surface zirconia was developed using a novel ceramic plasticity process, sintered at 1460°C for densification. The surface morphology and composition were determined through scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectrometer. Surface roughness was measured using atomic force microscopy, hydrophilicity angle was determined using a contact angle measurement instrument, and X-ray diffractometer assessed the crystalline phase content before and after aging. Material flexural strength was determined using a universal testing machine. The influence of microporous surface zirconia on the adhesion and proliferation of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) was investigated through CCK-8 and immunofluorescence staining for Integrin β1 and F-actin. The pore structure of microporous surface zirconia (MZ) group is uniform, with a flexural strength of 1375.86 ± 76.97 MPa, significantly higher than the control (Cont) group (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05). The percentage of HGFs adhesion to the MZ group was markedly higher than the Cont group (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05). Fluorescence of Integrin β1 and F-actin in the MZ group was significantly higher than in the Cont group.

To test this hypothesis, 15 Yucatan miniature pigs were each implanted with six percutaneous titanium devices, comprising three porous and three smooth devices, both with and without keratin coatings (Kerateine [iKNT] and Keratose [gKOS]). The pigs were sacrificed at 4, 8, and 16 weeks post-implantation. The devices and surrounding tissues were harvested and analyzed using histological and RNA sequencing techniques. Compared to smooth peri-implant tissue, porous peri-implant tissue showed a significant decrease in epithelial downgrowth, fibrous capsule thickness, and infection rates, alongside a significant upregulation of multiple immune marker genes, including IL12B. At the 16-week period, gKOS-coated surfaces demonstrated a more favorable wound healing response than iKTN-coated devices, with a reduction in granulation tissue area and a significant upregulation of several keratin genes related to differentiation.

An influence of the applied manufacturing parameters on the attachment and viability of the investigated cells is observed, showing the effect of the superficial pore topology on the attachment and the spreading of cells. The viability and attachment of fibroblasts and chondrocytes could be improved by reducing the thermal exposure during the processing step of the dense base part, associated with increased superficial porosity and the corresponding increase of the surface area. The applied additive manufacturing process of macroporous structures influences emerging cell morphologies, leading to an extended morphological expression of chondrocytes and the overgrowth of small pores by fibroblasts.

Surprisingly, up till now, there is no single, self-reliant imaging modality that helps to systematically find out the anatomical and functional events taking place inside the body. This resulted in the advent of the multimodal imaging concept, which encompasses the integration of complementary imaging modalities by designing multimodal imaging probes.

Researchers have designed varieties of stable and biocompatible GNR-based probes for targeted and nontargeted multimodal imaging of breast cancer.

SCI can cause physical impairments by affecting neural and motor functions as well as initiating a series of pathophysiological events exacerbating the initial trauma. Leakage from ruptured neurons and vessels disrupt ionic balance and induces excitotoxicity, leading to progressive cellular degeneration. Introducing mitochondria to the SCI lesion has shown potential in attenuating secondary injury. Mitochondria transplantation improves cellular bioenergetics and reduces concentration of reactive oxygen species achieving homeostasis and neuroprotection. Nonetheless, keeping mitochondria viable outside cell environment for a time longer than a few minutes proves to be challenging. Additionally, localized delivery to the injury site has also been limited by other factors including flow rate of cerebrospinal fluid that washes away mobilized organelle from the compromised tissue site. Previously we showed that using hyaluronic acid-methylcellulose semi-gels (HAMC) as a biocompatible, erodible thermogelling delivery vehicle helped to overcome some of these challenges. HAMC allows for controlled release at and around the injury site, utilizing the reverse thermogelling property of MC. Sustained release of mitochondria at slower rate can increase their uptake in spinal tissue. To better optimize the semi-gel delivery of mitochondria requires a more complete understanding of the physicochemical properties of the HAMC semi-gels. We have used ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy to measure optical density of HAMC semi-gels for different HA to MC ratios and examine the temperature dependent gelation properties above their low critical solution temperature (LCST). The viscosity and degree of crystallinity of the resulting HAMC semi-gels were also assessed. Semi-gel erosion and mitochondrial release over time were studied using a fluorescence microplate reader. Lastly, seahorse assay was used to study released mitochondria respiration and viability after incubation in HAMC semi-gel.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":15269,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biomedical materials research.

In this research, biopolymers sodium alginate (SA) and silk fibroin (SF) were electrospun onto a decellularized hAM, resulting in two types of hybrid scaffolds: hAM/SF and hAM/SF/SA. The mechanical characteristics of these nanofibers were then analyzed to guide scaffold optimization for applications using these materials. Two mechanical experiments were conducted; uniaxial tension in both wet and dry configurations, and stress-relaxation tests. According to the results, the mechanical characteristics of the manufactured materials were significantly different from those of the amniotic membrane, indicating the effect of novel materials. Tensile testing in the dry condition revealed a small variation in stiffness between the amniotic membrane and the new nanofibers. Simultaneously, a significant reduction in maximum tension and stretch was observed in the aforementioned materials compared to amniotic matrices. In addition, tensile testing in a wet configuration indicated that the new nanofibers are stronger and stiffer than amniotic membrane but less stretchy, owing to the improved mechanical properties of SF, which can be considered as the membrane's or tissue's load-bearer. The addition of SF increases the stiffness and durability of the fabricated scaffold. In addition, when compared to the amniotic membrane, relaxation tests revealed significant differences in peak tension rather than equilibrium state for the novel nanofibers in wet conditions.
