JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 335:118688. [PMID: 39142622 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.118688] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2024] [Revised: 08/08/2024] [Accepted: 08/09/2024] [Indexed: 08/16/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) has been designated a "medicine food homology" fruit by the National Health Commission of China due to its nutritional value. In traditional Chinese ethnomedicine, Hippophae rhamnoides L. is commonly used to treat nonhealing wounds such as burns, sores, and gastric ulcers. The aim of this study was to explore the healing effects of the ethyl acetate extract of sea buckthorn seeds (SBS-EF) on burn wounds. AIM OF THE STUDY The primary objectives of this research were to determine the most effective medicinal site of action for treating burns with sea buckthorn seeds (SBS) and to investigate the underlying material basis and mechanisms of their therapeutic effects. MATERIALS AND METHODS The effects of different components of SBS-EF on the proliferation and migration of human skin fibroblasts (HSFs) were evaluated via MTT assays, scratch assays, transwell assays, and hydroxyproline secretion analysis. SBS-EF displayed the greatest activity amongst the extracts. Subsequent analyses included network pharmacology methodology, molecular docking studies, ultraperformance liquid chromatography UPLC-Orbitrap-Exploris-120-MS and a severe second-degree burn rat model to investigate the chemical constituents and potential therapeutic mechanisms of the SBS-EF. RESULTS In vitro studies demonstrated the efficacy of SBS-EF in promoting HSF growth and migration. UPLC-Orbitrap-Exploris-120-MS analysis revealed that SBS-EF had ten major constituents, with flavonoids being the predominant compounds, especially catechin, quercetin, and kaempferol derivatives. Network pharmacology and molecular docking analyses indicated that SBS-EF may exert its healing effects by modulating the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway. Subsequent in vivo experiments demonstrated that SBS-EF accelerated burn wound healing in rats, increased hydroxyproline expression in skin tissue, facilitated skin structure repair, and enhanced collagen production and organisation over a 21 d period. Additionally, exposure to SBS-EF upregulated WNT3a and β-catenin while downregulating GSK-3β levels in rat skin tissue. CONCLUSIONS The wound healing properties of SBS-EF were attributed to its ability to enhance HSF growth and migration, increase hydroxyproline levels in the skin, promote collagen accumulation, reduce scarring, and decrease the skin water content. SBS-EF may also provide therapeutic benefits for burns by modulating the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway, as evidenced by its effective site and likely mechanism of action in the treatment of burned rats.

Skin repair and infection control in diabetic, obese mice using bioactive laser-activated sealants. Biomaterials 2024; 311:122668. [PMID: 38908232 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2024.122668] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/24/2024]
Abstract
Conventional wound approximation devices, including sutures, staples, and glues, are widely used but risk of wound dehiscence, local infection, and scarring can be exacerbated in these approaches, including in diabetic and obese individuals. This study reports the efficacy and quality of tissue repair upon photothermal sealing of full-thickness incisional skin wounds using silk fibroin-based laser-activated sealants (LASEs) containing copper chloride salt (Cu-LASE) or silver nanoprisms (AgNPr-LASE), which absorb and convert near-infrared (NIR) laser energy to heat. LASE application results in rapid and effective skin sealing in healthy, immunodeficient, as well as diabetic and obese mice. Although lower recovery of epidermal structure and function was seen with AgNPr-LASE sealing, likely because of the hyperthermia induced by laser and presence of this material in the wound space, this approach resulted in higher enhancement in recovery of skin biomechanical strength compared to sutures and Cu-LASEs in diabetic, obese mice. Histological and immunohistochemical analyses revealed that AgNPr-LASEs resulted in significantly lower neutrophil migration to the wound compared to Cu-LASEs and sutures, indicating a more muted inflammatory response. Cu-LASEs resulted in local tissue toxicity likely because of effects of copper ions as manifested in the form of a significant epidermal gap and a 'depletion zone', which was a region devoid of viable cells proximal to the wound. Compared to sutures, LASE-mediated sealing, in later stages of healing, resulted in increased angiogenesis and diminished myofibroblast activation, which can be indicative of lower scarring. AgNPr-LASE loaded with vancomycin, an antibiotic drug, significantly lowered methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) load in a pathogen challenge model in diabetic and obese mice and also reduced post-infection inflammation of tissue compared to antibacterial sutures. Taken together, these attributes indicate that AgNPr-LASE demonstrated a more balanced quality of tissue sealing and repair in diabetic and obese mice and can be used for combating local infections, that can result in poor healing in these individuals.

Abstract
Impaired wound healing due to insufficient cell proliferation and angiogenesis is a significant physical and psychological burden to patients worldwide. Therapeutic delivery of exogenous growth factors (GFs) at high doses for wound repair is non-ideal as GFs have poor stability in proteolytic wound environments. Here, we present a two-stage strategy using bioactive sucralfate-based microneedle (SUC-MN) for delivering interleukin-4 (IL-4) to accelerate wound healing. In the first stage, SUC-MN synergistically enhanced the effect of IL-4 through more potent reprogramming of pro-regenerative M2-like macrophages via the JAK-STAT pathway to increase endogenous GF production. In the second stage, sucralfate binds to GFs and sterically disfavors protease degradation to increase bioavailability of GFs. The IL-4/SUC-MN technology accelerated wound healing by 56.6 % and 46.5 % in diabetic mice wounds and porcine wounds compared to their respective untreated controls. Overall, our findings highlight the innovative use of molecular simulations to identify bioactive ingredients and their incorporation into microneedles for promoting wound healing through multiple synergistic mechanisms.

[PMID: 39179288 PMCID: PMC11342954 DOI: 10.26508/lsa.202302249] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2023] [Revised: 08/04/2024] [Accepted: 08/05/2024] [Indexed: 08/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Skin wound healing due to full thickness wounds typically results in fibrosis and scarring, where parenchyma tissue is replaced with connective tissue. A major advance in wound healing research would be to instead promote tissue regeneration. Helminth parasites express excretory/secretory (ES) molecules, which can modulate mammalian host responses. One recently discovered ES protein, TGF-β mimic (TGM), binds the TGF-β receptor, though likely has other activities. Here, we demonstrate that topical administration of TGM under a Tegaderm bandage enhanced wound healing and tissue regeneration in an in vivo wound biopsy model. Increased restoration of normal tissue structure in the wound beds of TGM-treated mice was observed during mid- to late-stage wound healing. Both accelerated re-epithelialization and hair follicle regeneration were observed. Further analysis showed differential expansion of myeloid populations at different wound healing stages, suggesting recruitment and reprogramming of specific macrophage subsets. This study indicates a role for TGM as a potential therapeutic option for enhanced wound healing.

Abstract
The poor healing characteristics of diabetic foot ulcers are partially attributed to diabetes-induced pro-inflammatory wounds. Our previous study reported that both miR-146a-5p and miR-200b-3p decrease endothelial inflammation in human aortic endothelial cells and db/db diabetic mice. Although miR-146a-5p has been reported to improve diabetic wound healing, the role of miR-200b-3p is not clear. This study compared the roles of these miRNAs in diabetic wound healing. Two 8-mm full-thickness wounds were created in 12-week-old male db/db mice on the left and right back. After surgery, 100 ng miR-146a-5p, miR-200b-3p, or miR-negative control (NC) was injected in each wound. Full-thickness skin samples were harvested from mice at the 14th day for real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry analyses. At the 14th day, the miR-200b-3p group showed better wound healing and greater granulation tissue thickness than the miR-146a-5p group. The miR-200b-3p group showed a significant decrease of IL-6 and IL-1β gene expression and a significant increase of Col3α1 gene expression compared to those in the miR-NC group. The miR-200b-3p group had the lowest gene expression of TGF-β1, followed by the miR-146a-5p and miR-NC groups. Our findings suggest that the miR-200b-3p group had better healing characteristics than the other two groups. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that CD68 immunoreactivity was significantly decreased in both the miR-146a-5p and miR-200b-3p groups compared with that in the miR-NC group. In addition, CD31 immunoreactivity was significantly higher in the miR-200b-3p group than in the miR-146a-5p group. In conclusion, these results suggest that miR-200b-3p is more effective than miR-146a-5p in promoting diabetic wound healing through its anti-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic effects.

Abstract
The capacity to regenerate lost tissues varies significantly among animals. Some phyla, such as the annelids, display substantial regenerating abilities, although little is known about the cellular mechanisms underlying the process. To precisely determine the origin, plasticity and fate of the cells participating in blastema formation and posterior end regeneration after amputation in the annelid Platynereis dumerilii, we developed specific tools to track different cell populations. Using these tools, we find that regeneration is partly promoted by a population of proliferative gut cells whose regenerative potential varies as a function of their position along the antero-posterior axis of the worm. Gut progenitors from anterior differentiated tissues are lineage restricted, whereas gut progenitors from the less differentiated and more proliferative posterior tissues are much more plastic. However, they are unable to regenerate the stem cells responsible for the growth of the worms. Those stem cells are of local origin, deriving from the cells present in the segment abutting the amputation plane, as are most of the blastema cells. Our results favour a hybrid and flexible cellular model for posterior regeneration in Platynereis relying on different degrees of cell plasticity.

Preventing bisphosphonate induced osteonecrosis of the jaw with a polyguanidine conjugate (GuaDex): A promising new approach. Bone 2024; 187:117211. [PMID: 39053792 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2024.117211] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2024] [Revised: 07/22/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a relatively rare side effect after prolonged use of bisphosphonates, which are drugs used to treat bone resorption in osteoporosis and certain cancers. This study introduces a novel ONJ model in rats by combining exposure to bisphosphonates, oral surgery, and bacterial inoculation. Potential ONJ preventive effects of polyguanidine (GuaDex) or antibiotics were evaluated. The study consisted of twenty-four male Wistar rats were divided into four groups. Groups 1 to 3 were given weekly doses of i.v. Zoledronic acid (ZA), four weeks before and two weeks after an osteotomy procedure on their left mandibular first molar. Group 4 was a negative control. Streptococcus gordonii bacteria were introduced into the osteotomy pulp chamber and via the food for seven days. On day eight, the rats were given different treatments. Group 1 was given a GuaDex injection into the osteotomy socket, Group 2 was given an intramuscular (i.m.) injection of clindamycin, Group 3 (positive control) was given an i.m. injection of saline, and Group 4 was given an i.m. injection of saline. Blood samples were taken two weeks after the osteotomy procedure, after which the rats were euthanized. Bone healing, bone mineral density, histology, and blood status were analyzed. The results showed that Group 1 (GuaDex) had no ONJ, extensive ongoing bone regeneration, active healing activity, vascularization, and no presence of bacteria. Group 2 (clindamycin) showed early stages of ONJ, avascular areas, and bacteria. Group 3 showed stages of ONJ, inflammatory infiltrates, defective healing, and bacterial presence, and Group 4 had normal healing activity and no bacterial presence. Conclusion: ZA treatment and bacterial inoculation after tooth extraction inhibited bone remodeling/healing and induced ONJ characteristic lesions in the rats. Only GuaDex apparently prevented ONJ development, stimulated bone remodeling, and provided an antimicrobial effect.

Abstract
Skin has strong self-regenerative capacity, while severe skin defects do not heal without appropriate treatment. Therefore, in order to cover the wound sites and hasten the healing process, wound dressings are required. Hydrogels have emerged as one of the most promising candidates for wound dressings because of their hydrated and porous molecular structure. Chitosan (CS) with biocompatibility, oxygen permeability, hemostatic and antimicrobial properties is beneficial for wound treatment and it can generate self-healing hydrogels through reversible crosslinks, from dynamic covalent bonding, such as Schiff base bonds, boronate esters, and acylhydrazone bonds, to physical interactions like hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interaction, ionic bonding, metal-coordination, host-guest interactions, and hydrophobic interaction. Therefore, various chitosan-based self-healing hydrogel dressings have been prepared in recent years to cope with increasingly complex wound conditions. This review's objective is to provide comprehensive information on the self-healing mechanism of chitosan-based hydrogel wound dressings, discuss their advanced functions including antibacterial, conductive, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, stimulus-responsive, hemostatic/adhesive and controlled release properties, further introduce their applications in the promotion of wound healing in two categories: acute and chronic (infected, burn and diabetic) wounds, and finally discuss the future perspective of chitosan-based self-healing hydrogel dressings for wound healing.

Biochimie 2024; 225:106-113. [PMID: 38768802 DOI: 10.1016/j.biochi.2024.05.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 04/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
Follistatin like-1 (FSTL-1) is a secreted glycoprotein of mesenchymal in origin. In human skin, FSTL1 is upregulated in the epidermal keratinocytes upon acute injury and is required for the migration of keratinocytes. Failure to upregulate FSTL1 leads to the lack of keratinocyte migration and the non-healing nature of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). FSTL1 undergoes extensive post-translational modification (PTM) at specific residues. Glycosylation at N144, N175 and N180, are the only experimentally demonstrated PTM in FSTL1, wherein, N180 and N144 glycosylations have been found to be critical for its function in cardiac tissue regeneration and pre-adipocyte differentiation, respectively. However, it is not known if PTMs other than glycosylation occurs in FSTL1 and how it impacts its pro-migratory function. Using in-silico analysis of mass spectrometric datasets, we found a novel PTM, namely, Serine 165 (S165) phosphorylation in FSTL1. To address the role of S165 phosphorylation in its pro-migratory function, a phosphorylation defective mutant of FSTL1 (S165A) was constructed by converting serine 165 to alanine and over expressed in 293T cells. S165A mutation did not affect the secretion of FSTL1 in vitro. However, S165A abolished the pro-migratory effect of FSTL1 in cultured keratinocytes likely via its inability to facilitate ERK signaling pathway. Interestingly, bacterially expressed recombinant FSTL1, trans-dominantly inhibited wound closure in keratinocytes highlighting the prime role of FSTL1 phosphorylation for its pro-migratory function. Further, under high glucose conditions, which inhibited scratchwound migration of keratinocytes, we noticed a significant decrease in S165 phosphorylation. Taken together, our results reveal a hitherto unreported role of FSTL1 phosphorylation PTM with profound implications in wound healing.

Abstract
Bacteria share a longstanding and complex relationship with humans, playing a role in protecting gut health and sustaining the ecosystem to cause infectious diseases and antibiotic resistance. Luminogenic materials that share aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics have emerged as a versatile toolbox for bacterial studies through fluorescence visualization. Numerous research efforts highlight the superiority of AIE materials in this field. Recent advances in AIE materials in bacterial studies are categorized into four areas: understanding bacterial interactions, antibacterial strategies, diverse applications, and synergistic applications with bacteria. Initial research focuses on visualizing the unseen bacteria and progresses into developing strategies involving electrostatic interactions, amphiphilic AIE luminogens (AIEgens), and various AIE materials to enhance bacterial affinity. Recent progress in antibacterial strategies includes using photodynamic and photothermal therapies, bacterial toxicity studies, and combined therapies. Diverse applications from environmental disinfection to disease treatment, utilizing AIE materials in antibacterial coatings, bacterial sensors, wound healing materials, etc., are also provided. Finally, synergistic applications combining AIE materials with bacteria to achieve enhanced outcomes are explored. This review summarizes the developmental trend of AIE materials in bacterial studies and is expected to provide future research directions in advancing bacterial methodologies.

Abstract
Competitive binding of distinct molecules in the hydrogel interior can facilitate dynamic exchange between the hydrogel and the surrounding environment. The ability to control the rates of sequestration and release of these molecules would enhance the hydrogel's functionality and enable targeting of a specific task. Here, we report the design of a colloidal hydrogel with two distinct pore dimensions to achieve staged, diffusion-controlled scavenging and release dynamics of molecules undergoing competitive binding. The staged scavenging and release strategy was shown for CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) and human epidermal growth factor (hEGF), two molecules exhibiting different affinities to the quaternary ammonium groups of the hydrogel. Fast ODN scavenging from the ambient environment occurred via diffusion through submicrometer-size hydrogel pores, while delayed hEGF release from the hydrogel was governed by its diffusion through nanometer-size pores. The results of the experiments were in agreement with simulation results. The significance of staged ODN-hEGF exchange was highlighted by the dual anti-inflammation and tissue proliferation hydrogel performance.

Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a primary, non-traumatic cerebral event associated with substantial mortality and disability. Despite advancements in understanding its etiology and refining diagnostic techniques, a validated treatment to significantly improve ICH prognosis remains elusive. Exosomes, a subtype of extracellular vesicles, encapsulate bioactive components, predominantly microRNAs (miRNAs), facilitating and regulating intercellular communication. Currently, exosomes have garnered considerable interests in clinical transformation for their nanostructure, minimal immunogenicity, low toxicity, inherent stability, and the ability to traverse the blood-brain barrier. A wealth of studies has demonstrated that exosomes can improve the prognosis of ICH through anti-apoptosis, neurogenesis, angiogenesis, anti-inflammation, immunomodulation, and autophagy, primarily via the transportation or overexpression of selected miRNAs. More importantly, exosomes can be easily customized with specific miRNAs or bioactive compounds to establish delivery systems, broadening their potential applications. This review focuses on the therapeutic potential of exosomes in ICH, reviewing the mechanisms of molecular biology mediated by certain miRNAs, discussing the benefits, challenges, and future prospects in ICH treatment. We hope comprehensive understanding of exosomes based on miRNAs will provide new insights into the treatment of ICH and guide the translation of exosome's research from laboratory to clinical practice.

Abstract
Background Calvatia gigantea (CG) is widely used as a traditional Chinese medicine for wound treatment. In this study, we aimed to determine the effects of CG extract (CGE) on diabetic wound healing and the commensal wound microbiome. Method A wound model was established using leptin receptor-deficient db/db mice, with untreated mice as the control group and CGE-treated mice as the treatment group. The wound healing rate, inflammation and histology were analyzed. Additionally, wound microbiome was evaluated via 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing. Results CGE significantly accelerated the healing of diabetic ulcer wounds, facilitated re-epithelialization, and downregulated the transcription levels of the inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α. Furthermore, CGE treatment positively affected the wound microbiome, promoting diversity of the microbial community and enrichment of Escherichia-Shigella bacteria in the CGE-treated group. Conclusions Overall, CGE enhanced diabetic wound healing by modulating the wound microbiome and facilitating macrophage polarization during inflammation. These findings suggest modulation of the commensal wound microbiome using medicinal plants as a potential therapeutic strategy for diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Diabetes has become an increasingly serious global health crisis. Long-term hyperglycemia can lead to vascular and neurological disorders, thus deterring wound healing. Therefore, exploring treatment modalities for wounds in individuals with diabetes is clinically significant. Bletilla striata polysaccharide and bioactive natural polymers carbomer 940 and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) are cross-linked to form the Bletilla striata polysaccharide hydrogel (named CCHG/BSP). Upon characterization, we found that the hydrogel has a porous structure and good mechanical and moisture retention properties. A hemolysis test revealed that the hydrogel had high safety. Furthermore, the hydrogel effectively promoted proliferation and migration in mouse L929 fibroblasts. In back wounds inflicted in a streptozotocin-induced mouse model of diabetes, the CCHG/BSP hydrogel significantly promoted wound healing. Hematoxylin-eosin, Masson's trichrome, and immunohistochemical staining of tissues around the wound suggest that the mechanism underlying wound healing in diabetes may involve the promotion of angiogenesis, regulation of inflammation, and promotion of collagen regeneration. This provides a foundation for studies on and the development of new BSP pharmacotherapeutic products and the clinical application of its hydrogel dressing, and provide novel avenues for treating wounds in individuals with diabetes.

Abstract
The marine environment presents challenges for wound healing in cetaceans, despite their remarkable recovery abilities with minimal infections or complications. However, the molecular mechanism underlying this efficient wound healing remains underexplored. To better understand the molecular mechanisms behind wound healing in cetaceans, we investigated the evolutionary patterns of 37 wound healing-related genes in representative mammals. We found wound healing-related genes experience adaptive evolution in cetaceans: (1) Three extrinsic coagulation pathway-related genes-tissue factor (F3), coagulation factor VII (F7), and coagulation factor X (F10)-are subject to positive selection in cetaceans, which might promote efficient hemostasis after injury; positive selection in transforming growth factor-beta 2 (TGF-β2), transforming growth factor-beta 3 (TGF-β3), and platelet-derived growth factor D (PDGFD), which play immunological roles in wound healing, may help cetaceans enhance inflammatory response and tissue debridement. (2) Coagulation factor XII (F12) is the initiation factor in the intrinsic coagulation pathway. It had a premature stop codon mutation and was subjected to selective stress relaxation in cetaceans, suggesting that the early termination of F12 may help cetaceans avoid the risk of vascular blockage during diving. (3) Fibrinogen alpha chain (FGA) and FIII, which were detected to contain the specific amino acid substitutions in marine mammals, indicating similar evolutionary mechanisms might exist among marine mammals to maintain strong wound-healing ability. Thus, our research provides further impetus to study the evolution of the wound healing system in cetaceans and other marine mammals, extending knowledge of preventing coagulation disorder and atherosclerosis in humans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous studies have focused on skin damage, the most prevalent physical injury, aiming to improve wound healing. The exploration of biomaterials, specifically eggshell membranes (ESMs), is undertaken to accelerate the recovery of skin injuries. The membrane must be separated from the shell to make this biomaterial usable. Hence, this investigation aimed to identify more about the methods for membrane isolation and determine the most efficient one for usage as a biomaterial. METHODS AND MATERIALS For this purpose, ESM was removed from eggs using different protocols (with sodium carbonate, acetic acid, HCl, calcium carbonate, and using forceps for separation). Consequently, we have examined the membranes' mechanical and morphological qualities. RESULTS According to the analysis of microscopic surface morphology, the membranes have appropriate porosity. MTT assay also revealed that the membranes have no cytotoxic effect on 3T3 cells. The results indicated that the ESM had acquired acceptable coagulation and was compatible with blood. Based on the obtained results, Provacol 4 (0.5-mol HCl and neutralized with 0.1-mol NaOH) was better than other methods of extraction and eggshell separation because it was more cell-compatible and more compatible with blood. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that ESMs can be used as a suitable biomaterial in medical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic wounds have been associated with an elevated burden of cellular senescence, a state of essentially irreversible cell cycle arrest, resistance to apoptosis, and a secretory phenotype. However, whether senescent cells contribute to wound chronicity in humans remains unclear. The objective of this article is to assess the role of clinicopathological characteristics and cellular senescence in the time-to-healing of chronic wounds. METHODS A cohort of 79 patients with chronic wounds was evaluated in a single-center academic practice from February 1, 2005, to February 28, 2015, and followed for up to 36 months. Clinical characteristics and wound biopsies were obtained at baseline, and time-to-healing was assessed. Wound biopsies were analyzed histologically for pathological characteristics and molecularly for markers of cellular senescence. In addition, biopsy slides were stained for p16INK4a expression. RESULTS No clinical or pathological characteristics were found to have significant associations with time-to-healing. A Cox proportional hazard ratio model revealed increased CDKN1A (p21CIP1/WAF1) expression to predict longer time-to-healing, and a model adjusted for gender and epidermal hyperplasia revealed increased CDKN1A expression and decreased PAPPA expression to predict longer time-to-healing. Increased p16INK4a staining was observed in diabetic wounds compared to non-diabetic wounds, and the same association was observed in the context of high dermal fibrosis. CONCLUSIONS The findings of this pilot study suggest that senescent cells contribute to wound chronicity in humans, especially in diabetic wounds.

Abstract
The colonisation of microorganisms such as bacteria forms a biofilm barrier on the wound's surface, preventing or delaying the penetration of antibacterial drugs. At the same time, continuous bacterial infection can cause oxidative stress and an inflammatory response and hinder angiogenesis, resulting in difficult wound healing. Based on the "one stone, three birds" strategy, a multi-functional nanoparticle composite soluble microneedle was designed and developed to solve this dilemma better. Ginsenoside-liposomes(R-Lipo) were prepared by ginsenoside Rg3, which had the effect of promoting repair, instead of cholesterol, and loaded with berberine (Ber), the antibacterial component of Coptis, together with polydopamine (PDA), which had anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, into microneedles based on hyaluronic acid (PDA/R-Lipo@BerMN). PDA/R-Lipo@BerMN tip can penetrate and destroy the integrity of the biofilm, dissolve under the action of hyaluronidase in the skin, and gradually release the drug to achieve rapid antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and proliferation. As expected, the PDA/R-Lipo@BerMN patch effectively cleared ROS during wound closure, further promoted M2 macrophage polarisation, eradicated bacterial infection, and regulated the immune microenvironment, promoting inflammation suppression, collagen deposition, angiogenesis, and tissue regeneration.

Liu F, Xu X, Sun T. Vascular endothelial growth factor accelerates healing of foot ulcers in diabetic rats via promoting M2 macrophage polarization. Diabet Med 2024; 41:e15388.

Abstract
AIM The objective was to investigate the specific role and the regulatory mechanism of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) during wound healing in diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). METHODS Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were used to establish a DFU animal model. VEGF and Axitinib (a specific inhibitor of VEGFR) were used for treatment in vivo. The wounds at different time points were imaged and histological analysis of the wounds were performed by haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and Masson's trichrome staining. Immunohistochemical staining was conducted to examine CD31 and eNOS expression in the wounds. Immunofluorescence assay and quantitative real-time PCR were performed to examine macrophage markers. In addition, THP-1 was differentiated to macrophages, and then treated with interleukin (IL)-4 to induce M2 macrophages, followed by VEGF treatment. The conditional medium (CM) from VEGF-mediated macrophages were collected to culture human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). Cell viability and migration were measured by Cell Counting Kit (CCK)-8, wound-healing and Transwell assays, respectively. RESULTS VEGF treatment remarkably accelerated wound healing of DFU rats. VEGF promoted collagen deposition and elevated CD31 and eNOS expression, confirming the pro-angiogenesis of VEGF around diabetic wound in rats. Meanwhile, VEGF restricted pro-inflammatory cytokines and increased F4/80 and CD206 expression, highlighting the activated macrophages and enhanced M2 macrophages following VEGF treatment in diabetic wounds of DFU rats. However, Axitinib exerted an opposite function to VEGF in DFU rats. Moreover, VEGF directly promoted macrophage polarization toward M2 phenotype in vitro, and the CM from VEGF-mediated M2 macrophages markedly promoted HDFs proliferation, migration and collagen deposition. CONCLUSION VEGF might accelerate the wound healing of DFU through promoting M2 macrophage polarization and fibroblast migration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to investigate the effect of pre-operative hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and pre-operative blood glucose control on the rate of surgical site infection (SSI) after posterior lumbar instrumentation surgery in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. METHODS A total of 1046 patients who had undergone posterior lumbar instrumentation surgery were reviewed. Based on pre-operative HbA1c, patients were divided into three groups: non-DM group, low HbA1c group (HbA1c < 7.0 % in DM) and high HbA1c group (≥7.0). As well, based on the status of blood glucose control in DM patients immediately before surgery, patients were divided into two groups: good control group (post-prandial blood glucose [PBG] < 200 mg/dl) and poor control group (≥200). The rate of SSI was compared among these groups. RESULTS SSI occurred in 1.9 % in non-DM group, 2.4 % in low HbA1c group, and 9.3 % in high HbA1c group. Compared with non-DM group, high HbA1c group had significantly higher rate of SSI (p = 0.001). There was not statistically different between non-DM and low HbA1c groups (p = 0.550). SSI occurred in 2.2 % in good control group, and 10.2 % in poor control group. The rate of SSI was significantly lower in good control group (p = 0.013). CONCLUSION This study showed that the rate of SSI after posterior lumbar instrumentation surgery tend to be higher in DM patients with high HbA1c. However, the rate might be reduced to the same level as that of non-DM group by lowering PBG to <200 mg/dl immediately before surgery.

Abstract
Significance: Chronic diabetic wounds on the lower extremities (diabetic foot ulcers, DFU) are one of the most prevalent and life-threatening complications of diabetes, responsible for significant loss of quality of life and cost to the health care system. Available pharmacologic treatments fail to achieve complete healing in many patients. Recent studies and investigational treatments have highlighted the potential of modulating wound pH in DFU. Recent Advances: Data from in vitro, preclinical, and clinical studies highlight the role of pH in the pathophysiology of DFU, and topical administration of pH-lowering agents have shown promise as a therapeutic strategy for diabetic wounds. In this critical review, we describe the role of pH in DFU pathophysiology and present selected low-molecular-weight and hydrogel-based pH-modulating systems for wound healing and infection control in diabetic wounds. Critical Issues: The molecular mechanisms leading to pH alterations in diabetic wounds are complex and may differ between in vitro models, animal models of diabetes, and the human pathophysiology. Wound pH-lowering bandages for DFU therapy must be tested in established animal models of diabetic wound healing and patients with diabetes to establish a comprehensive benefit-risk profile. Future Directions: As our understanding of the role of pH in the pathophysiology of diabetic wounds is deepening, new treatments for this therapeutic target are being developed and will be tested in preclinical and clinical studies. These therapeutic systems will establish a target product profile for pH-lowering treatments such as an optimal pH profile for each wound healing stage. Thus, controlling wound bed pH could become a powerful tool to accelerate chronic diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
Wound infections, marked by the proliferation of microorganisms at surgical sites, necessitate the development of innovative wound dressings with potent bactericidal properties to curb microbial growth and prevent bacterial infiltration. This study explores the recent strides in utilizing ionic liquid-based polymers as highly promising antimicrobial agents for advanced wound healing applications. Specifically, cationic polymers containing quaternary ammonium, imidazolium, guanidinium, pyridinium, triazolium, or phosphonium groups have emerged as exceptionally effective antimicrobial compounds. Their mechanism of action involves disrupting bacterial membranes, thereby preventing the development of resistance and minimizing toxicity to mammalian cells. This comprehensive review not only elucidates the intricate dynamics of the skin's immune response and the various stages of wound healing but also delves into the synthesis methodologies of ionic liquid-based polymers. By spotlighting the practical applications of antimicrobial wound dressings, particularly those incorporating ionic liquid-based materials, this review aims to lay the groundwork for future research endeavors in this burgeoning field. Through a nuanced examination of these advancements, this article seeks to contribute to the ongoing progress in developing cutting-edge wound healing platforms that can effectively address the challenges posed by microbial infections in surgical wounds.

Abstract
Bioelectronics is a hot research topic, yet an important tool, as it facilitates the creation of advanced medical devices that interact with biological systems to effectively diagnose, monitor and treat a broad spectrum of health conditions. Electrical stimulation (ES) is a pivotal technique in bioelectronics, offering a precise, non-pharmacological means to modulate and control biological processes across molecular, cellular, tissue, and organ levels. This method holds the potential to restore or enhance physiological functions compromised by diseases or injuries by integrating sophisticated electrical signals, device interfaces, and designs tailored to specific biological mechanisms. This review explains the mechanisms by which ES influences cellular behaviors, introduces the essential stimulation principles, discusses the performance requirements for optimal ES systems, and highlights the representative applications. From this review, we can realize the potential of ES based bioelectronics in therapy, regenerative medicine and rehabilitation engineering technologies, ranging from tissue engineering to neurological technologies, and the modulation of cardiovascular and cognitive functions. This review underscores the versatility of ES in various biomedical contexts and emphasizes the need to adapt to complex biological and clinical landscapes it addresses.

Abstract
In this study, we employed a combination of electrospinning and electrospray techniques to fabricate wound dressings with a particle-fiber structure, providing dual characteristics of oxygen-releasing and intrinsic antioxidant properties, simultaneously. The electrospun part of the dressing was prepared from a blend of polycaprolactone/gallic acid-grafted-gelatin (GA-g-GE), enabling intrinsic ROS scavenging. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that PCL/GA-g-GE was fabricated by electrospinning. Furthermore, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) microparticles, containing calcium peroxide nanoparticles (CNPs), were considered as the oxygen production agent through the electrospray part. The CNP content was 1% and 3% w/w of PVP while biopolymer:PCL was 10% w/w. The fabricated structures were characterized in terms of fiber/particle morphology, elemental analysis, oxygen release behavior, ROS inhibition capacity, and water contact angle assessments. The covalent bonding of gallic acid to gelatin was confirmed by 1H-NMR, UV spectroscopy, and FTIR. According to the SEM results, the morphology of the prepared PCL/biopolymer fibers was bead-free and with a uniform average diameter. The analysis of released oxygen showed that by increasing the weight percentage of CNPs from 1 to 3 wt%, the amount of released oxygen increased from 120 mmHg to 195 mmHg in 24 h, which remained almost constant until 72 h. The obtained DPPH assay results revealed that the introduction of GA-g-GE into the fibrous structure could significantly improve the antioxidant properties of wound dressing compared to the control group without CNPs and modified gelatine. In vitro, the fabricated wound dressings were evaluated in terms of biocompatibility and the potential of the dressing to protect human dermal fibroblasts under oxidative stress and hypoxia conditions by an MTT assay. The presence of GA-g-GE led to remarkable protection of the cells against oxidative stress and hypoxia conditions. In vivo studies revealed that the incorporation of intrinsic ROS inhibition and oxygen-releasing properties could significantly accelerate the wound closure rate during the experimental period (7, 14, and 21 days). Additionally, histopathological investigations in terms of H&E and Masson's trichrome staining showed that the incorporation of the two mentioned capabilities remarkably facilitated the wound-healing process.

Abstract
Secondary intention healing has been a well-established method to close wounds for more than 200 years. Indeed, it represents the easiest technique in the ladder of plastic reconstruction. Primary wound closure (side-to-side closure, direct wound closure) is the second easiest method. The combination of these two techniques is already an integral aspect of specific surgical procedures, e.g. the reconstruction of the donor site of a paramedian forehead flap. This minireview will show that the combination is also a suitable alternative to classic flaps in reconstruction of different aesthetic subunits of the face. These are the scalp, the lateral cheek, the upper nasal sidewall/medial canthus and the retroauricular region. The advantages and disadvantages will be discussed and illustrated with clinical examples.

Abstract
Non-healing diabetic wounds and ulcer complications, with persistent cell dysfunction and obstructed cellular processes, are leading causes of disability and death in patients with diabetes. Currently, there is a lack of guideline-recommended hypoglycemic drugs in clinical practice, likely due to limited research and unclear mechanisms. In this study, it is demonstrated that liraglutide significantly accelerates wound closure in diabetic mouse models (db/db mice and streptozotocin-induced mice) by improving re-epithelialization, collagen deposition, and extracellular matrix remodeling, and enhancing the proliferation, migration, and adhesion functions of keratinocytes. However, these effects of improved healing by liraglutide are abrogated in dedicator of cytokinesis 5 (Dock5) keratinocyte-specific knockout mice. Mechanistically, liraglutide induces cellular function through stabilization of unconventional myosin 1c (Myo1c). Liraglutide directly binds to Myo1c at arginine 93, enhancing the Myo1c/Dock5 interaction by targeting Dock5 promoter and thus promoting the proliferation, migration, and adhesion of keratinocytes. Therefore, this study provides insights into liraglutide biology and suggests it may be an effective treatment for diabetic patients with wound-healing pathologies.

Abstract
Chronic and prolonged wounds are a serious public problem that may severely affect the quality of life and result in psychological pressure. Fibroblasts play a crucial role in the wound process and in skin pathology. Herbal drugs have long been used for wound care worldwide. Ajuga taiwanensis (Lamiaceae) is a folk medicine for antipyretics, anti-inflammation, and reducing swelling in Taiwan. This study aimed to investigate the effect of A. taiwanensis in wound healing and the underlying mechanisms. Under human dermal fibroblast (HDF) wound-healing activity-guided fractionation, we found that a sub-fraction (AT-M) of A. taiwanensis extract (AT) and the major ingredients significantly promoted wound healing and decreased IL-1β and - 6 expressions on HDFs. Furthermore, the fraction of AT-M enhanced wound healing on C57BL/6 mouse skins, increased PDGFR expressions, and activated the PDGFR/MAPK pathway. Taken together, A. taiwanensis extracts promote wound healing by the PDGFR pathway and lead to enhanced cell spreading and motility, thereby having a possible beneficial effect on wound healing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-based treatment strategy has shown promise in bolstering the healing process of chronic wounds in diabetic patients, who are at risk of amputation and mortality. To overcome the drawbacks of suboptimal cell retention and diminished cell viability at the injury site, a novel nanofibrous biomaterial-based scaffold was developed by using a controlled extrusion of a polymeric solution to deliver the cells (human adipose-derived MSCs (ADMSCs) and placenta-derived MSCs (PLMSCs)) locally to the animal model of diabetic ulcers. METHODS The physicochemical and biological properties of the nano-bioscaffold were characterized in terms of microscopic images, FTIR spectroscopy, tensile testing, degradation and swelling tests, contact angle measurements, MTT assay, and cell attachment evaluation. To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy, a study using an excisional wound model was conducted on diabetic rats. RESULTS The SEM and AFM images of scaffolds revealed a network of uniform nanofibers with narrow diameters between 100-130 nm and surface roughness less than 5 nm, respectively. ADMSCs and PLMSCs had a typical spindle-shaped or fibroblast-like morphology when attached to the scaffold. Desired characteristics in terms of swelling, hydrophilicity, biodegradation rate, and biocompatibility were achieved with the CS70 formulation. The wound healing process was accelerated according to wound closure rate assay upon treatment with MSCs loaded scaffold resulting in increased re-epithelialization, neovascularization, and less inflammatory reaction. Our findings unequivocally demonstrated that the cell-loaded nano-bioscaffold exhibited more efficacy compared with its acellular counterpart. In summation, our study underscores the potential of this innovative cellular scaffold as a viable solution for enhancing the healing of diabetic ulcers. CONCLUSION The utilization of MSCs in a nanofibrous biomaterial framework demonstrates significant promise, providing a novel avenue for advancing wound care and diabetic ulcer management.

Abstract
After tissue injury, inflammatory cells are rapidly recruited to the wound where they clear microbes and other debris, and coordinate the behaviour of other cell lineages at the repair site in both positive and negative ways. In this study, we take advantage of the translucency and genetic tractability of zebrafish to evaluate the feasibility of reprogramming innate immune cells in vivo with cargo-loaded protocells and investigate how this alters the inflammatory response in the context of skin and skeletal repair. Using live imaging, we show that protocells loaded with R848 cargo (which targets TLR7 and TLR8 signalling), are engulfed by macrophages resulting in their switching to a pro-inflammatory phenotype and altering their regulation of angiogenesis, collagen deposition and re-epithelialization during skin wound healing, as well as dampening osteoblast and osteoclast recruitment and bone mineralization during fracture repair. For infected skin wounds, R848-reprogrammed macrophages exhibited enhanced bactericidal activities leading to improved healing. We replicated our zebrafish studies in cultured human macrophages, and showed that R848-loaded protocells similarly reprogramme human cells, indicating how this strategy might be used to modulate wound inflammation in the clinic.

Abstract
Human skin is the host to various commensal microbes that constitute a substantial microbial community. The reciprocal communication between these microbial inhabitants and host cells upholds both the morphological and functional attributes of the skin layers, contributing indispensably to microenvironmental and tissue homeostasis. Thus, disruption of the skin barrier or imbalances in the microbial communities can exert profound effects on the behavior of host cells. This influence, mediated by the microbes themselves or their metabolites, manifests in diverse outcomes. In this review, we examine existing knowledge to provide insight into the nuanced behavior exhibited by the microbiota on skin cells in health and disease states. These interactions provide insight into potential cellular targets for future microbiota-based therapies to prevent and treat skin disease.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds that do not heal for a long time challenge global healthcare. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy has positive significance in promoting diabetic wound healing. However, traditional MSC therapy involves exogenous MSCs, which brings many limitations and unsatisfactory treatment. Moreover, the maintenance of MSC viability and function is difficult because of the high level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in diabetic wounds. Therefore, we developed a nanofibrous dressing to recruit and protect endogenous MSCs while avoiding the inherent disadvantages of exogenous MSCs. Ceria nanoparticles capable of ROS scavenging are integrated into the nanofibrous dressings, together with Apt19S, a DNA aptamer with affinity and selectivity for MSCs. In addition, the homogenization and freeze-drying technology give the nanofibrous dressings good elasticity, which protects the wound from external pressure. Further experiments in diabetic mice show that the dressing has excellent endogenous MSC recruitment and anti-inflammatory properties, thereby synergistically promoting diabetic wound healing. This study is expected to explore an efficient method of stem cell therapy, providing a new way to construct high-performance wound dressings.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is an exponentially growing chronic metabolic disease identified by prolonged hyperglycemia that leads to a plethora of health problems. It is well established that the skin of diabetic patients is more prone to injury, and hence, wound healing is an utmost critical restorative process for injured skin and other tissues. Diabetes patients have problems with wound healing at all stages, which ultimately results in delays in the healing process. Therefore, it is vital to find new medications or techniques to hasten the healing of wounds. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), an assorted class of porous hybrid materials comprising metal ions coordinated to organic ligands, can display great potential in accelerating diabetic wound healing due to their good physicochemical properties. The release of metal ions during the degradation of MOFs can promote the differentiation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts and subsequently angiogenesis. Secondly, similar to enzyme-like active substances, they can eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction (secondary to the bio-load of wound bacteria), which is conducive to accelerating diabetic wound healing. Subsequently, MOFs can support the slow release of drugs (molecular or gas therapeutics) in diabetic wounds and promote wound healing by regulating pathological signaling pathways in the wound microenvironment or inhibiting the expression of inflammatory factors. In addition, the combination of photodynamic and photothermal therapies using photo-stimulated porphyrin-based MOF nanosystems has brought up a new idea for treating complicated diabetic wound microenvironments. In this review, recent advances affecting diabetic wound healing, current means of rapid diabetic wound healing, and the limitations of traditional approaches are discussed. Further, the diabetic wound healing applications of MOFs have been discussed followed by the future challenges and directions of MOF materials in diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is a rising concern about developing innovative, efficacious PDE5I molecules that provide better safety, efficacy, and tolerability with less adverse effects. Innovative PDE5I with dual targets have also been defined in the literature. Additionally, some of PDE5I are able to selectively inhibit other enzymes such as histone deacetylase, acetylcholine esterase, and cyclooxygenase or act as nitric oxide donors. This review presents knowledge concerning the advanced trends and perspectives in using PDE5I in treatment of ED and other conditions. AREAS COVERED Pre-clinical and early clinical trials that investigated the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of novel PDE5I such as Udenafil, Mirodenafil, Lodenafil, Youkenafil, Celecoxib, and TPN729 in treatment of ED and other conditions. EXPERT OPINION Preclinical and limited early clinical studies of the new molecules of PDE5I have demonstrated encouraging results; however, safety, efficacy, and tolerability are still issues that necessitate further long-term multicenter clinical studies to ensure justification of their uses in treatment of ED and other conditions. Progress in molecular delivery techniques and tailored patient-specific management and additional therapeutic technology will dramatically improve care for ED and other conditions. The dream of ED and many other conditions becoming more effectively managed may be feasible in the near future.

Abstract
Epithelial and immune cells have long been appreciated for their contribution to the early immune response after injury; however, much less is known about the role of mesenchymal cells. Using single nuclei RNA-sequencing, we defined changes in gene expression associated with inflammation at 1-day post-wounding (dpw) in mouse skin. Compared to keratinocytes and myeloid cells, we detected enriched expression of pro-inflammatory genes in fibroblasts associated with deeper layers of the skin. In particular, SCA1+ fibroblasts were enriched for numerous chemokines, including CCL2, CCL7, and IL33 compared to SCA1- fibroblasts. Genetic deletion of Ccl2 in fibroblasts resulted in fewer wound bed macrophages and monocytes during injury-induced inflammation with reduced revascularization and re-epithelialization during the proliferation phase of healing. These findings highlight the important contribution of deep skin fibroblast-derived factors to injury-induced inflammation and the impact of immune cell dysregulation on subsequent tissue repair.

Abstract
Leveraging human cells as materials precursors is a promising approach for fabricating living materials with tissue-like functionalities and cellular programmability. Here we describe a set of cellular units with metabolically engineered glycoproteins that allow cells to tether together to function as macrotissue building blocks and bioeffectors. The generated human living materials, termed as Cellgels, can be rapidly assembled in a wide variety of programmable three-dimensional configurations with physiologically relevant cell densities (up to 108 cells per cm3), tunable mechanical properties and handleability. Cellgels inherit the ability of living cells to sense and respond to their environment, showing autonomous tissue-integrative behaviour, mechanical maturation, biological self-healing, biospecific adhesion and capacity to promote wound healing. These living features also enable the modular bottom-up assembly of multiscale constructs, which are reminiscent of human tissue interfaces with heterogeneous composition. This technology can potentially be extended to any human cell type, unlocking the possibility for fabricating living materials that harness the intrinsic biofunctionalities of biological systems.

Abstract
Skin wound dressings are commonly utilized for the treatment of skin injuries, as they effectively facilitate wound healing and possess anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. However, conventional dressings fail to inhibit ROS production and promote vascularization, leading to delayed wound healing. Here, we developed injectable self-crosslinking hydrogels through thiolated hyaluronic acid (HASH/rhCOLIII) with enhancing the ROS inhibitory capacity while preserving the cell adhesion ability of hyaluronic acid. Additionally, recombinant humanized collagen type III (rhCOLIII) is incorporated via electrostatic adsorption to further enhance mechanical strength and angiogenesis properties of the hydrogel. The HASH/rhCOLIII demonstrated excellent biocompatibility, remarkable ROS scavenging ability, as well as hemostatic and angiogenic properties. Cell experiment results show that HASH/rhCOLIII has excellent biocompatibility and can significantly promote angiogenesis. Animal experiments results showed that HASH/rhCOLIII exhibits anti-inflammatory effects, significantly accelerating wound healing in a full-thickness skin defect model. These findings highlight that HASH/rhCOLIII hydrogel holds great promise as an advanced dressing for effective wound healing.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complicated obstacle, especially for chronic wounds. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes may be a promising cell-free approach for treating skin wound healing. Exosomes can accelerate wound healing by attenuating inflammation, promoting angiogenesis, cell proliferation, extracellular matrix production and remodeling. However, many issues, such as off-target effects and high degradation of exosomes in wound sites need to be addressed before applying into clinical therapy. Therefore, the bioengineering technology has been introduced to modify exosomes with greater stability and specific therapeutic property. To prolong the function time and the local concentration of exosomes in the wound bed, the use of biomaterials to load exosomes emerges as a promising strategy. In this review, we summarize the biogenesis and characteristics of exosomes, the role of exosomes in wound healing, and the therapeutic applications of modified-exosomes in wound healing. The challenges and prospects of exosomes in wound healing are also discussed.

Abstract
This research focuses on the synthesis of hydrogels exhibiting enhanced antioxidant properties derived from hyaluronic acid (HA) and poly(ethylene brassylate-co-squaric acid) (PEBSA), a copolymacrolactone that have the ability to be used in drug delivery applications. Quercetin (Q), a bioflavonoid with strong antioxidant properties, is employed as a bioactive compound. The biomolecule is encapsulated in the polymeric network using different entrapment techniques, including the initial formation of a complex between PEBSA and Q, which is demonstrated through the dynamic light scattering technique. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and rheological studies confirm the formation of the hydrogels, revealing the occurrence of physical interactions between the synthetic polymer and the polysaccharide. Moreover, the hydrogels demonstrate biocompatible properties after direct contact with the HDFa cell line and antioxidant properties, as revealed by DPPH tests.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Strong evidence is lacking as no confirmatory randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have compared the efficacy of totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG) with laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG). The authors performed an RCT to confirm if TLDG is different from LADG. METHODS The KLASS-07 trial is a multi-centre, open-label, parallel-group, phase III, RCT of 442 patients with clinical stage I gastric cancer. Patients were enroled from 21 cancer care centres in South Korea between January 2018 and September 2020 and randomized to undergo TLDG or LADG using blocked randomization with a 1:1 allocation ratio, stratified by the participating investigators. Patients were treated through R0 resections by TLDG or LADG as the full analysis set of the KLASS-07 trial. The primary endpoint was morbidity within postoperative day 30, and the secondary endpoint was quality of life (QoL) for 1 year. This trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03393182). RESULTS Four hundred forty-two patients were randomized (222 to TLDG, 220 to LADG), and 422 patients were included in the pure analysis (213 and 209, respectively). The overall complication rate did not differ between the two groups (TLDG vs. LADG: 12.2% vs. 17.2%). However, TLDG provided less postoperative ileus and pulmonary complications than LADG (0.9% vs. 5.7%, P= 0.006; and 0.5% vs. 4.3%, P= 0.035, respectively). The QoL was better after TLDG than after LADG regarding emotional functioning at 6 months, pain at 3 months, anxiety at 3 and 6 months, and body image at 3 and 6 months (all P< 0.05). However, these QoL differences were resolved at 1 year. CONCLUSIONS The KLASS-07 trial confirmed that TLDG is not different from LADG in terms of postoperative complications but has the advantages to reduce ileus and pulmonary complications. TLDG can be a good option to offer better QoL in terms of pain, body image, emotion, and anxiety at 3-6 months.

[PMID: 38908416 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.06.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 06/12/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/24/2024]
Abstract
The use of decellularized extracellular matrix products in tissue regeneration is quite alluring yet practically challenging due to the limitations of its availability, harsh processing techniques, and host rejection. Scaffolds obtained by either incorporating extracellular matrix (ECM) material or coating the surface can resolve these challenges to some extent. However, these scaffolds lack the complex 3D network formed by proteins and growth factors observed in natural ECM. This study introduces an approach utilizing 3D nanofiber scaffolds decorated with dECM to enhance cellular responses and promote tissue regeneration. Notably, the dECM can be customized according to specific cellular requirements, offering a tailored environment for enhanced therapeutic outcomes. Two types of 3D expanded scaffolds, namely radially aligned scaffolds (RAS) and laterally expanded scaffolds (LES) fabricated by the gas-foaming expansion were utilized. To demonstrate the proof-of-concept, human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) seeded on these scaffolds for up to 8 weeks, resulted in uniform and highly aligned cells which deposited ECM on the scaffolds. These cellular components were then removed from the scaffolds through decellularization (e.g., SDS treatment and freeze-thaw cycles). The dECM-decorated 3D expanded nanofiber scaffolds can direct and support cell alignment and proliferation along the underlying fibers upon recellularization. An in vitro inflammation assay indicates that dECM-decorated LES induces a lower immune response than dECM-decorated RAS. Further, subcutaneous implantation of dECM-decorated RAS and LES shows higher cell infiltration and angiogenesis within 7 and 14 days than RAS and LES without dECM decoration. Taken together, dECM-decorated 3D expanded nanofiber scaffolds hold great potential in tissue regeneration and tissue modeling. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Decellularized ECM scaffolds have attained widespread attention in biomedical applications due to their intricate 3D framework of proteins and growth factors. Mimicking such a complicated architecture is a clinical challenge. In this study, we developed natural ECM-decorated 3D electrospun nanofiber scaffolds with controlled alignments to mimic human tissue. Fibroblasts were cultured on these scaffolds for 8 weeks to deposit natural ECM and decellularized by either freeze-thawing or detergent to obtain decellularized ECM scaffolds. These scaffolds were tested in both in-vitro and in-vivo conditions. They displayed higher cellular attributes with lower immune response making them a good grafting tool in tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Lymphatics are involved in the resolution of inflammation and wound healing, but their role in the oral wound healing process after tooth extraction has never been investigated. We therefore sought to evaluate the healing process following the extraction of maxillary molars in two transgenic mouse models: K14-VEGFR3-Ig mice, which lack initial mucosal lymphatic vessels, and K14-VEGFC mice, which have hyperplastic mucosal lymphatics. Maxillary molars were extracted from both transgenic mouse types and their corresponding wild-type (WT) controls. Mucosal and alveolar bone healing were evaluated. A delayed epithelialization and bone regeneration were observed in K14-VEGFR3-Ig mice compared with their WT littermates. The hampered wound closure was accompanied by decreased levels of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and persistent inflammation, characterized by infiltrates of immune cells and elevated levels of pro-inflammatory markers in the wounds. Hyperplastic mucosal lymphatics did not enhance the healing process after tooth extraction in K14-VEGFC mice. The findings indicate that initial mucosal lymphatics play a major role in the initial phase of the oral wound healing process.

Abstract
Chronic wound healing is a pressing global public health concern. Abuse and drug resistance of antibiotics are the key problems in the treatment of chronic wounds at present. Postbiotics are a novel promising strategy. Previous studies have reported that postbiotics have a wide range of biological activities including antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory abilities. However, several aspects related to these postbiotic activities remain unexplored or poorly known. Therefore, this work aims to outline general aspects and emerging trends in the use of postbiotics for wound healing, such as the production, characterization, biological activities and delivery strategies of postbiotics. In this review, a comprehensive overview of the physiological activities and structures of postbiotic biomolecules that contribute to wound healing is provided, such as peptidoglycan, lipoteichoic acid, bacteriocins, exopolysaccharides, surface layer proteins, pili proteins, and secretory proteins (p40 and p75 proteins). Considering the presence of readily degradable components in postbiotics, potential natural polymer delivery materials and delivery systems are emphasized, followed by the potential applications and commercialization prospects of postbiotics. These findings suggest that the treatment of chronic wounds with postbiotic ingredients will help provide new insights into wound healing and better guidance for the development of postbiotic products.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcers often become infected, leading to treatment complications and increased risk of loss of limb. Therapeutics to manage infection and simultaneously promote healing are needed. Here we report on the development of a Janus liposozyme that treats infections and promotes wound closure and re-epithelialization. The Janus liposozyme consists of liposome-like selenoenzymes for reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging to restore tissue redox and immune homeostasis. The liposozymes are used to encapsulate photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy of infections. We demonstrate application in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-infected diabetic wounds showing high ROS levels for antibacterial function from the photosensitizer and nanozyme ROS scavenging from the liposozyme to restore redox and immune homeostasis. We demonstrate that the liposozyme can directly regulate macrophage polarization and induce a pro-regenerative response. By employing single-cell RNA sequencing, T cell-deficient Rag1-/- mice and skin-infiltrated immune cell analysis, we further reveal that IL-17-producing γδ T cells are critical for mediating M1/M2 macrophage transition. Manipulating the local immune homeostasis using the liposozyme is shown to be effective for skin wound repair and tissue regeneration in mice and mini pigs.

Abstract
Chronic diabetic wounds are the most common complication for diabetic patients. Due to high oxidative stress levels affecting the entire healing process, treating diabetic wounds remains a challenge. Here, we present a strategy for continuously regulating oxidative stress microenvironment by the catalyst-like magnesium-gallate metal-organic framework (Mg-GA MOF) and developing sprayable hydrogel dressing with sodium alginate/chitosan quaternary ammonium salts to treat diabetic wounds. Chitosan quaternary ammonium salts with antibacterial properties can prevent bacterial infection. The continuous release of gallic acid (GA) effectively eliminates reactive oxygen species (ROS), reduces oxidative stress, and accelerates the polarization of M1-type macrophages to M2-type, shortening the transition between inflammation and proliferative phase and maintaining redox balance. Besides, magnesium ions adjuvant therapy promotes vascular regeneration and neuronal formation by activating the expression of vascular-associated genes. Sprayable hydrogel dressings with antibacterial, antioxidant, and inflammatory regulation rapidly repair diabetic wounds by promoting neurovascular network reconstruction and accelerating re-epithelialization and collagen deposition. This study confirms the feasibility of catalyst-like MOF-contained sprayable hydrogel to regulate the microenvironment continuously and provides guidance for developing the next generation of non-drug diabetes dressings.

Abstract
The diabetic wound healing is challenging due to the sabotaged delicate balance of immune regulation via an undetermined pathophysiological mechanism, so it is crucial to decipher multicellular signatures underlying diabetic wound healing and seek therapeutic strategies. Here, this work develops a strategy using novel trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO)-derived zwitterionic hydrogel to promote diabetic wound healing, and explore the multi-cellular ecosystem around zwitterionic hydrogel, mapping out an overview of different cells in the zwitterionic microenvironment by single-cell RNA sequencing. The diverse cellular heterogeneity is revealed, highlighting the critical role of macrophage and neutrophils in managing diabetic wound healing. It is found that polyzwitterionic hydrogel can upregulate Ccl3+ macrophages and downregulate S100a9+ neutrophils and facilitate their interactions compared with polyanionic and polycationic hydrogels, validating the underlying effect of zwitterionic microenvironment on the activation of adaptive immune system. Moreover, zwitterionic hydrogel inhibits the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and promotes angiogenesis, thus improving diabetic wound healing. These findings expand the horizons of the sophisticated orchestration of immune systems in zwitterion-directed diabetic wound repair and uncover new strategies of novel immunoregulatory biomaterials.

Abstract
Mast cells (MCs), traditionally viewed as key players in IgE-mediated allergic responses, are increasingly recognized for their versatile roles. Situated at critical barrier sites such as the ocular surface, these sentinel cells participate in a broad array of physiological and pathological processes. This review presents a comprehensive update on the immune pathophysiology of MCs, with a particular focus on the mechanisms underlying innate immunity. It highlights their roles at the ocular surface, emphasizing their participation in allergic reactions, maintenance of corneal homeostasis, neovascularization, wound healing, and immune responses in corneal grafts. The review also explores the potential of MCs as therapeutic targets, given their significant contributions to disease pathogenesis and their capacity to modulate immunity. Through a thorough examination of current literature, we aim to elucidate the immune pathophysiology and multifaceted roles of MCs in ocular surface health and disease, suggesting directions for future research and therapeutic innovation.
