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. This systematic review (PROSPERO number: CRD42024560654) analyzed studies from 01/2000 to 07/2024 sourced from PubMed. 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.

This study aims to share our experience in harvesting and preserving Allograft valves from heart transplant recipients, addressing this shortage and streamlining the process. Allograft valves were harvested from patients who underwent heart transplants at our center from October 2007 to October 2022. 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. The age of donors was 39.0 ± 186.0 years while the median age of recipients was 5.1 years (interquartile range, 1.5-12.1). After a median follow-up of 2.6 years (interquartile range, 1.0-6.9), the freedom from all-cause mortality was 94.0%, 89.5%, and 89.5% at 5, 10, and 15 years, respectively.
