In this work, several composite scaffolds based on chitosan (CH), with low and high molecular weights, and different concentrations of ceramics like mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG), mesoporous hydroxyapatite (MHAp) and both MBG and MHAp (MC) were produced by lyophilization. The purpose is to identify the best combination regarding optimal morphology and properties. The tests of the scaffolds present a highly porous structure with interconnected pores. The compression modulus increases with ceramic concentration in the scaffolds. Furthermore, the 75%MBG (835 ± 160 kPa) and 50%MC (1070 ± 205 kPa) samples are the ones that mostly enhance increases in mechanical properties. The swelling capacity increases with MBG and MC, respectively, to 700% and 900% and decreases to 400% when MHAp concentration increases. All scaffolds are non-cytotoxic at 12.5 mg/mL. The CHL scaffolds improve cell adhesion and proliferation compared to CHH, and the MC scaffold samples, show better results than those produced with just MBG or MHAp.

Scaffolds, appropriate cells, and signaling induction are the main three determinant parameters in any tissue engineering applications. Designing a suitable scaffold which can mimic the cellular inherent and natural habitation is of great importance for cellular growth and proliferation. Just like a natural extracellular matrix (ECM), scaffolds provide the cells with an environment for performing biological functions. Accordingly, vast surface area and three-dimensional nanofibrous structures are among the pivotal characteristics of functional scaffolds in tissue engineering, and enhancement of their properties is the main purpose of the present research. In our previous study, a patterned structure composed of continuous nanofibers and microparticles was introduced. In this work, a new modification is applied for adjustment of the surface area of an electrospun/electrosprayed scaffold. For this purpose, at predetermined stages during electrospinning/electrospraying, the nitrogen gas is flushed through the mesh holes of the collector in the opposite direction of the jet movement. This method has led to the formation of very thin nanofibrous layers at nitrogen flush intervals by providing a cooling effect of the sweeping nitrogen. As a consequence, a straticulated structure has been fabricated which possesses extremely high surface/volume ratio. The porosity, water absorption, and morphological analysis were conducted on the obtained scaffold. In vitro cytocompatibility assessments as well as histological analysis demonstrated that the fabricated scaffold provides a proper substrate for cellular attachment, proliferation and infiltration. These findings can be advantageous in three-dimensional tissue engineering such as bone tissue engineering applications. Furthermore, according to the advanced microstructure and vast surface area of the fabricated samples, they can be applied in many other applications, such as membrane, filtration, etc.</p>","PeriodicalId":20691,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Biomaterials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10154450/pdf/40204_2022_Article_215.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9760193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The physicochemical characteristics of the NCs were investigated. In addition, biomedical properties, such as antibacterial activity under in vitro and in vivo conditions, and cell viability were assessed. Wound healing activity on infected wounds and histological parameters were assessed. The gene expressions of TNF-α, Capase 3, Bcl-2, Cyclin-D1 and FGF-2 were investigated. The TEM and FESEM images showed the sheet-like structure for bohemite in Au/γ-AlOOH-NC with Au nanoparticles in a range of 14-15 nm. The elemental analysis revealed the presence of carbon, oxygen, aluminum, and Au elements in the as-synthesized Au/γ-AlOOH. The results for toxicity showed that the produced nanocomposites did not show any cytotoxicity. Biomedical studies confirmed that Au/γ-AlOOH-NC and Au/γ-AlOOH/Ctn-NC have anti-bacterial properties and could expedite the wound healing process in infected wounds by an increase in collagen biosynthesis. The administration of ointment containing Au/γ-AlOOH-NC and Au/γ-AlOOH/Ctn-NC decreased the expressions of TNF-α, and increased the expressions of Capase 3, Bcl-2, Cyclin-D1 and FGF-2. The novelty of this study was that bohemite and Au nanoparticles can be used as a dressing to accelerate the wound healing process. In green synthesis of Au/γ-AlOOH-NC, phytochemical compounds of the plant extract are appropriate reagents for stabilization and the production of Au/γ-AlOOH-NC. Therefore, the new bohemite-based NCs can be considered as candidate for treatment of infected wounds after future clinical studies.</p>","PeriodicalId":20691,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Biomaterials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10154451/pdf/40204_2022_Article_216.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9413642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To evaluate the stability of the synthesized hydrogels zeta potential necessary measurements were made. Physicochemically, the developed hydrogels were evaluated using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The physical properties including degradation rate, swelling ability, and tunability of the synthesized hydrogels were studied. To evaluate the nerve regeneration ability of the synthesized hydrogels, 35 Sprague-Dawley rats were undergone SCI. The spinal cords were exposed using laminectomy in T9-T10 area and the hemi-section SCI model was made. The rats were then randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 7) including, Alg-Cs/Npch, Alg-Cs/Npch/hEnSCs, Alg-Cs/Npch/Val, and Alg-Cs/Npch/hEnScs/Val, and the control groups without any intervention. The FTIR spectra showed band frequencies and assignments of Val, Alg-Cs, and alginate. Nanoparticles were formulated with a mean diameter of 187 and 210 nm, for Val/Alg-Cs and Alg-Cs, respectively. The loading of Val into Alg-Cs led to its reduced size by about 40 nm. The Cs-Npch/Val hydrogels degraded faster than the Alg-Cs-/Npch/Val hydrogel specifically in extended time of incubation. A higher swelling capacity of Alg-Cs/Npch hydrogel, compared to Cs/Npch/Val and Alg-Cs/Npch/Val hydrogels, was found. The Cs-Npch/Val hydrogels degraded faster than Alg-Cs-/Npch/Val hydrogel. The Alg-Cs/Npch/hEnSCs/Val could regenerate the damaged nerve fibers and histologically prevent the SCI-induced vacuolization spaces.

In this study, monofilament suture was extruded using different weight fractions of LDPE, PLA and CHS. In vitro degradation studies were carried out using phosphate buffer solution (PBS).

A standard Fourier transform infrared spectral of 3433, 2909-2840, 1738, 1452, 1174, 1062, 706 cm^-1 were assigned to OH group, C-H stretch, C=O vibration of ester, CH₃ bending, alkyl ester and CH₂ stretch, respectively. Tensile strength of knotted neat LDPE (4.84 MPa) exhibited 48.7% improvement in LDPE/PLA/CHS (60/39.5/0.5). This suggests that a good knot can be achieved to 40% weight fraction of PLA.
