Evidence-based donor selection criteria may help prevent future tragic events like these. However, the development of such criteria must be informed by estimates of the risk of tuberculosis transmission by tissue transplantation, which are currently lacking. Therefore, we aimed to estimate the risk of tuberculosis transmission through tissue transplantation in Québec, Canada. We developed a deterministic model to assess the risk of tuberculosis transmission through the transplantation of skin, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and ocular tissues. Transmission risk was estimated according to three scenarios (i.e., most-likely, optimistic, and pessimistic). Except for ocular tissues, the estimated risk was consistently < 1 in 1 million transplantations, even after inflating some parameters by 50% or 100%. In the most-likely scenario, the risk of transmission by ocular tissue transplantation was estimated at only 1 in 312,160. The calculated risk of tuberculosis transmission by tissue transplantation is extremely low in our jurisdiction and does not warrant the implementation of additional risk mitigation measures beyond those currently in place. Albeit low, the estimated risk was higher for ocular grafts in part because they contain living cells, which is not the case of gamma-irradiated tissues. Our work showcases how the selection criteria of tissue donors can be informed by risk estimates derived from mathematical models.</p>","PeriodicalId":9723,"journal":{"name":"Cell and Tissue Banking","volume":"26 2","pages":"21"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143779093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we quantified the total protein content and the major growth factors present in different sample preparations of hAM. The membrane is initially processed, dehydrated, and gamma-irradiated and subsequently subjected to histological staining, cytotoxicity assays, and total protein estimation. The ELISA method was used to quantify TGF b1, bFGF, PDGF-BB, VEGF-A, and EGF in three distinct preservation samples: tissue homogenate (AC-H), ball milled powder (AC-P), and lyophilized powder (AC-L). An in-vitro scratch assay was performed to analyse cell migration and wound healing. Higher TGF-b1 and FGF-b concentrations indicate the potential impact of HAM on re-epithelialization and granular tissue formation. For major growth factors, the quantification shows no significant differences between the samples. On treating the wound area with concentrations of 0.4 mg/ml and 0.6 mg/ml, the remaining wound area for AC-H, AC-L, and AC-P are 39.71%, 40.31%, 55.99% and 25.48%, 62.8%, and 29.65%, respectively. This indicates the presence of growth factors in the membrane promotes wound healing and facilitates cell migration and proliferation. This study provides insights into the quantity of key growth factors within the human amniotic membrane, thereby presenting the approach as a viable option for treating chronic wounds. Additionally, as lyophilization preserves more growth factors and offers greater stability and shelf life than other preservation techniques, it may be an appropriate substitute for ball milling.</p>","PeriodicalId":9723,"journal":{"name":"Cell and Tissue Banking","volume":"26 2","pages":"18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143741813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional treatments are often inadequate, driving interest in advanced therapeutic approaches like biological scaffolds. Decellularized scaffolds, which replicate the extracellular matrix (ECM), have shown potential in promoting tissue regeneration and wound healing. This study evaluated the efficacy of decellularized bovine articular cartilage scaffolds in enhancing wound healing in a preclinical murine model of chronic diabetic wounds. Bovine articular cartilage was decellularized using a combination of chemical and physical processes. The scaffolds were characterized through H and E staining (to assess histomorphological characteristics), FTIR, and SEM analyses to confirm ECM preservation and effective decellularization. Twenty female diabetic BALB/c mice were divided into two groups: a control group (treated with Atrauman Ag® dressings) and an experimental group (treated with decellularized bovine articular cartilage scaffolds). This study examined the effects of decellularization on the structural and chemical properties of the cartilage scaffolds, as well as their impact on wound healing and closure rates in diabetic mice compared to the control group. Mice treated with the decellularized cartilage scaffolds demonstrated a significantly faster wound closure rate (100% closure by day 17) compared to the control group (75% closure by day 17, P < 0.01). Histological analysis revealed more organized epidermal regeneration, fibrin deposition, and granulation tissue formation in the scaffold-treated group. SEM and FTIR analyses confirmed the preservation and integrity of the ECM before and after the decellularization process. Decellularized bovine articular cartilage scaffolds significantly enhance wound healing in chronic diabetic wounds by promoting tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation. These findings suggest that such scaffolds represent a promising therapeutic option for the treatment of chronic diabetic wounds.</p>","PeriodicalId":9723,"journal":{"name":"Cell and Tissue Banking","volume":"26 2","pages":"17"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143673292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Allogeneic skin grafts, both cadaveric and freshly donated, have been utilized in pediatric burn care since many years, yet their efficacy and safety remain to be systematically assessed.

Inclusion criteria targeted RCTs and retrospective studies focused on the use of allogeneic skin grafts in pediatric burn patients. Extracted data were presented in a narrative synthesis and a comprehensive table. Established tools were used for risk of bias assessment. 13 studies were deemed suitable for analysis, with only two qualifying as RCTs. Allogeneic skin grafts have shown promise in managing pediatric burns, especially in resource-limited settings where autografts or skin substitutes are not available. Studies varied in their treatment approaches, with allogeneic grafts often used for more severe burns, suggesting that observed adverse effects may be due to injury severity rather than treatment type. The retrospective nature of the majority suggests a limited level of evidence. Moreover, the heterogeneity among study designs and patient populations makes it difficult to draw definitive conclusions. Allogeneic skin grafts represent a valuable treatment option in pediatric burn care. However, further well-designed RCTs are essential to establish a stronger evidence base for their use and to guide clinical decision-making.

After sampling of the allograft for quality control, allograft valves were cryopreserved and thawed before implantation. Allograft valves were used in 60 patients who had pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) in or after repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Patient data were collected and statistically analyzed.
