Current treatments for diabetic wounds are inadequate. The dysregulation of endothelial cell genes, particularly thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), impairs neovascularization and delays wound repair. In recent years, hydrogel-based wound dressings have gained widespread application in biomedicine. The study introduced a new therapeutic approach, embedding miR-221-3p-loaded small extracellular vesicles (miR-221OE-sEVs) within gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogels to reduce TSP-1 level and improve healing in diabetic wounds. Methods First, we observed upregulated TSP-1 expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) when cultured in a high glucose (HG) environment. We employed siRNA and miR-221-3p to suppress TSP-1 expression then evaluate the functional effects on HUVECs. Subsequently, miR-221-3p was encapsulated in sEVs via lentiviral transfection. The effects of miR-221OE-sEVs on HUVECs under HG conditions were evaluated. Finally, miR-221OE-sEVs were incorporated into a GelMA hydrogel (G-miR-221OE-sEVs) and applied to a diabetic murine wound model to evaluate their effects on wound closure and angiogenesis. Results Under HG conditions, the use of siTSP-1 to silence TSP-1 enhanced the proliferation, migration, and tube formation capabilities of HUVECs. Similarly, miR-221-3p treatment exerted proregenerative effects via the targeting of TSP-1. We successfully generated miR-221OE-sEVs that exhibited a 28-fold increase in miR-221-3p expression, which significantly enhanced HUVEC functionality under HG conditions. Encapsulation within the GelMA hydrogel enabled G-miR-221OE-sEVs to significantly accelerate diabetic wound healing via increased angiogenesis. Conclusion This study demonstrated the successful fabrication of a novel bioactive wound dressing (G-miR-221OE-sEVs), which promotes diabetic wound healing by promoting angiogenesis through the regulation of TSP-1. This approach offers a potential therapeutic option for enhancing the management of diabetic wounds.","PeriodicalId":9553,"journal":{"name":"Burns & Trauma","volume":"102 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144278355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Electroactive biomaterials induce an active state of electrical stimulation (ES) at the site of peripheral nerve injury when incorporated into nerve guidance channels (NGCs). Numerous studies have demonstrated that combining ES with electroactive biomaterials can enhance peripheral nerve repair. This review summarizes the regulation of signal pathways by ES and the functions of various electroactive biomaterials, including metals, carbon-based materials, conductive polymers and piezoelectric materials.

Hydrogels have emerged as promising materials for the treatment of such infections, as they have the potential to deliver therapeutic agents while supporting tissue repair. Methods In this study, we developed ε-PLL@SA/Gel (PSG) hydrogels by embedding different concentrations of ε-poly-L-lysine (ε-PLL) into sodium alginate (SA)/gelatin (Gel) hydrogels using calcium chloride as a crosslinking agent. The mechanical properties, biocompatibility, antibacterial activity, and wound healing efficacy of the hydrogels were evaluated in vitro and in vivo in mouse models of infected wounds. Results PSG hydrogels exhibited excellent mechanical strength, injectability, and self-adhesive properties. In vitro, hydrogel treatment resulted in high cell viability and promoted human skin fibroblast proliferation. PSG15 exhibited the highest antibacterial activity and inhibited E. coli and S. aureus by 89.53% and 92.21%, respectively. In vivo, PSG15 significantly accelerated wound healing, enhanced angiogenesis, and regulated macrophage polarization by increasing CD206 expression and decreasing CD80 expression. Additionally, PSG15 modulated the skin microbiota, reduced pathogenic bacterial abundance and maintained microbiota diversity. Conclusion The PSG15 hydrogel is a promising candidate for the treatment of infected wounds because it inhibits bacterial growth, promotes tissue repair, and modulates the wound microbiota.","PeriodicalId":9553,"journal":{"name":"Burns & Trauma","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144188837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therapeutics physiologically promoting revascularization remain lacking. This study aims to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying fibroblast-derived exosome-mediated angiogenesis during wound repair. Methods To assess the effects of fibroblasts derived exosomes on wound healing and angiogenesis, a full-thickness mouse skin injury model was established, followed by pharmacological inhibition of exosome secretion. The number and state of blood vessels in wounds were assessed by immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, hematoxylin–eosin staining, and laser Doppler imaging system. The high-throughput miRNA sequencing was carried out to detect the miRNA profiles of fibroblast-derived exosomes. The roles of candidate miRNAs, their target genes, and relevant pathways were predicted by bioinformatic online software. The knockdown and overexpression of candidate miRNAs, co-culture system, matrigel assay, pharmacological blockade, cell migration, EdU incorporation assay, and cell apoptosis were employed to investigate their contribution to angiogenesis mediated by fibroblast-derived exosomes. The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), von Hippel–Lindau (VHL), and proline hydroxylases 2 was detected by western blot, co-immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, flow cytometry, and immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, a full-thickness mouse skin injury model based on type I diabetes mellitus induced by streptozotocin was established for estimating the effect of fibroblast-derived exosomes on chronic wound healing. Results Pharmacological inhibition of exosome biogenesis markedly reduces neovascularization and delays murine cutaneous wound closure. Topical administration of fibroblast-secreted exosomes rescues these defects. Mechanistically, exosomal microRNA-24-3p suppresses VHL E3 ubiquitin ligase levels in endothelial cells to stabilize hypoxia-inducible factor-1α and heighten vascular endothelial growth factor signaling. MicroRNA-24-3p-deficient exosomes exhibit attenuated pro-angiogenic effects. Strikingly, topical application of exosomes derived from fibroblasts onto chronic wounds in diabetic mice improves neovascularization and healing dynamics. Conclusions Overall, we demonstrate central roles for exosomal miR-24-3p in stimulating endothelial HIF-VEGF signaling by inhibiting VHL-mediated degradation. The findings establish fibroblast-derived exosomes as promising acellular therapeutic candidates to treat vascular insufficiency underlying recalcitrant wounds.","PeriodicalId":9553,"journal":{"name":"Burns & Trauma","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144153363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Remarkable advancements in arthroscopic techniques and biological stimuli have been achieved in the past decades, which may change expectations regarding the potential of ACL healing and clinical outcomes for patients. In this study, a global expert consensus on the primary repair of proximal ACL injuries was established. A panel of 16 experts from the fields of sports medicine and arthroscopic surgery was invited to participate in the compilation of this consensus statement. This project followed the Delphi approach to the consensus process involving steering, rating, and peer review groups. Ultimately, 14 statements were retained: four achieved unanimous support, six achieved strong consensus, and four did not achieve consensus. The expert consensus statement established in this study focused on surgical indications, decision-making, surgical techniques, adjunctive methods, prognostic factors, and rehabilitation following ACL repair. The accepted recommendations in these areas will assist doctors and therapists in standardizing the management of related pathologies. The consensus statement clearly states that the tear site and tissue quality are important for ensuring successful ACL repair, while other factors should also be considered. ACL reconstruction remains the gold standard for ACL repair until long-term follow-up data demonstrates otherwise.","PeriodicalId":9553,"journal":{"name":"Burns & Trauma","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144130672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to investigate the potential role of nuclear fragile X mental retardation-interacting protein 1 (NUFIP1), a selective autophagy receptor, on sequestering ribosomes in autophagosomes to maintain dendritic cell function during early stages of sepsis. Methods Splenic dendritic cells were isolated using CD11c+microbeads and treated with lipopolysaccharide. Sepsis models were generated using cecal ligation and puncture. Expression of dendritic cell surface molecules was detected using flow cytometry. Cytokine level was quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. Laser scanning confocal microscopy was employed to observe ribophagy and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) morphology. Transmission electron microscopy was used to examine autophagosomes containing ribosomes. Western blotting was performed to determine the levels of ribophagy- and ER stress-associated proteins. Results The results showed that NUFIP1-mediated ribophagy was significantly activated under septic challenge and facilitated the functional activation of dendritic cells by mitigating excessive ER stress. Deletion of Nufip1resulted in reduced expression of surface molecules on dendritic cells, inhibited T-cell proliferation, exacerbated peripheral immunosuppression and severe multiple organ damage, and increased mortality. Salubrinal, a specific inhibitor of EIF2A dephosphorylation, rescued dendritic cell dysfunction in septic mice with Nufip1deficiency. Mechanistically, NUFIP1 interacted directly with ATF4 and regulated its nuclear translocation. Conclusion These findings suggest that NUFIP1 regulates ER stress through the EIF2AK3–ATF4–DDIT3 pathway, highlighting its critical regulatory role in sepsis. Thus, NUFIP1 represents a new target for sepsis therapy.","PeriodicalId":9553,"journal":{"name":"Burns & Trauma","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144088269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
