Abstract
Chitosan, a versatile amino polysaccharide biopolymer derived from chitin, exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against various pathogenic microorganisms, including gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, as well as fungi. Due to its ubiquitous use in medications, food, cosmetics, chemicals, and crops, it is an effective antibacterial agent. However, the antimicrobial performance of chitosan is influenced by multiple factors, which have been extensively investigated and reported in the literature. The goal of this review paper is to present a thorough grasp of the mechanisms of action and determining variables of chitosan and its derivatives' antibacterial activity. The article begins by providing a brief background on chitosan and its antimicrobial properties, followed by the importance of understanding the mechanism of action and factors influencing its activity".

Abstract
Nasal reconstruction is a challenging practice with the potential for complications. Surgeons can prevent complications through preoperative optimization of patient factors, refinement of intraoperative surgical techniques, and postoperative surgical and nonsurgical wound care. Preoperatively, optimization of modifiable and recognition of nonmodifiable risk factors is paramount. Intraoperatively, meticulous flap design and surgical technique promote healing. In the postoperative setting, attentive wound care, adjuvant therapies, and close follow-up for consideration of additional procedures enhance outcomes. By anticipating potential complications across perioperative settings, surgeons can prevent common complications in nasal reconstruction and more effectively manage those complications that arise.

Abstract
This article reviewed our experience of Chinese nasal reconstruction over 12 years and evaluated the effect of expanded forehead flap both aesthetically and functionally. The special skin type and other anatomic features of Chinese patients was understood thoroughly during the treatment. This article thus catered for the need of multiracial nasal reconstruction. We analyzed existing clinical data and demonstrated a typical case in detail. The postoperative result supported our strategy which advocated the extensive application of expanded forehead flap, together with flip scar flap as the internal lining. The features of Chinese patients also prompted the use of costal and auricular cartilage. Emerging technology like 3D-printing would benefit nasal reconstruction from more aspects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The surgical management of nasal septal defects due to perforations, malformations, congenital cartilage absence, traumatic defects, or tumors would benefit from availability of optimally matured septal cartilage substitutes. Here, we aimed to improve in vitro maturation of 3-dimensional (3D)-printed, cell-laden polycaprolactone (PCL)-based scaffolds and test their in vivo performance in a rabbit auricular cartilage model. DESIGN Rabbit auricular chondrocytes were isolated, cultured, and seeded on 3D-printed PCL scaffolds. The scaffolds were cultured for 21 days in vitro under standard culture media and normoxia or in prochondrogenic and hypoxia conditions, respectively. Cell-laden scaffolds (as well as acellular controls) were implanted into perichondrium pockets of New Zealand white rabbit ears (N = 5 per group) and followed up for 12 weeks. At study end point, the tissue-engineered scaffolds were extracted and tested by histological, immunohistochemical, mechanical, and biochemical assays. RESULTS Scaffolds previously matured in vitro under prochondrogenic hypoxic conditions showed superior mechanical properties as well as improved patterns of cartilage matrix deposition, chondrogenic gene expression (COL1A1, COL2A1, ACAN, SOX9, COL10A1), and proteoglycan production in vivo, compared with scaffolds cultured in standard conditions. CONCLUSIONS In vitro maturation of engineered cartilage scaffolds under prochondrogenic conditions that better mimic the in vivo environment may be beneficial to improve functional properties of the engineered grafts. The proposed maturation strategy may also be of use for other tissue-engineered constructs and may ultimately impact survival and integration of the grafts in the damaged tissue microenvironment.

Abstract
Once cartilage is damaged, its self-repair capacity is very limited. The strategy of tissue engineering has brought a new idea for repairing cartilage defect and cartilage regeneration. In particular, nasal cartilage regeneration is a challenge because of the steady increase in nasal reconstruction after oncologic resection, trauma, or rhinoplasty. From this perspective, three-dimensional (3D) printing has emerged as a promising technology to address the complexity of nasal cartilage regeneration, using patient's image data and computer-aided deposition of cells and biomaterials to precisely fabricate complex, personalized tissue-engineered constructs. In this review, we summarized the major progress of three prevalent 3D printing approaches, including inkjet-based printing, extrusion-based printing and laser-assisted printing. Examples are highlighted to illustrate 3D printing for nasal cartilage regeneration, with special focus on the selection of seeded cell, scaffolds and growth factors. The purpose of this paper is to systematically review recent research about the challenges and progress and look forward to the future of 3D printing techniques for nasal cartilage regeneration.Level of Evidence III This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each submission to which Evidence-Based Medicine rankings are applicable.

Abstract
Background Inguinal hernia sac, extended tissue from peritoneum, gradually enlarged in size with hernia disease time and prolapsed tissue volume. We hypothesize that mesenchymal stem cells are present in the development of hernia sac. The current study aimed to test the hypothesis that hernia sac, which is often resected and discarded as medical waste, contains mesenchymal stem cells and thus might be a suitable source to harvest mesenchymal stem cells. Methods Between July 2019 and June 2020, 4 hernia sacs were resected during hernia surgery and then obtained for mesenchymal extraction using the Miltenyi gentleMACS Dissociator. The presence of mesenchymal stem cells was determined by the markers CD105, CD73, and CD90, with assessment of the expressions ≥ 95%, whereas markers CD45, CD34, CD11b, CD19, and HLA-DR were used to assess lack expression (≤ 2%). Moreover, von Kossa staining, Alcian blue staining, and Oil Red O staining were used to verify the cells' ability for differentiation. Results Cells retrieved from the hernia sacs displayed a spindle-shaped morphology and exhibited adherence to plastics. The cell surface immunophenotypic profile was confirmed using surface markers APC-A (CD73), FITC-A (CD90), and PerCP-Cy5-5-A (CD105), with results showing 100%, 100%, and 99.2%, respectively, strongly indicating the presence of mesenchymal stem cells. Moreover, staining of in vitro cell cultures showed in vitro differentiation of precursor cells into osteoblasts, adipocytes, and chondroblasts, suggesting positive differentiation ability and identification of mesenchymal stem cells. Conclusion Inguinal hernia sac is a novel source of mesenchymal stem cells that can be easily obtained and stored for future usage.

Abstract
Resorbable synthetic and natural polymer-based membranes have been extensively studied for guided tissue regeneration. Alloplastic biomaterials are often used for tissue regeneration due to their lower immunoreactivity when compared with allogeneic and xenogeneic materials. Plenum® Guide is a synthetic membrane material based on polydioxanone (PDO), whose surface morphology closely mimics the extracellular matrix. In this study, Plenum® Guide was compared with collagen membranes as a barrier material for bone-tissue regeneration in terms of acute and subchronic systemic toxicity. Moreover, characterizations such as morphology, thermal analysis (Tm = 107.35 °C and crystallinity degree = 52.86 ± 2.97 %, final product), swelling (thickness: 0.25 mm ≅ 436% and 0.5 mm ≅ 425% within 24 h), and mechanical tests (E = 30.1 ± 6.25 MPa; σ = 3.92 ± 0.28 MPa; ε = 287.96 ± 34.68%, final product) were performed. The in vivo results revealed that the PDO membranes induced a slightly higher quantity of newly formed bone tissue than the control group (score: treated group = 15, control group = 13) without detectable systemic toxicity (clinical signs and evaluation of the membranes after necropsy did not result in differences between groups, i.e., non-reaction -> tissue-reaction index = 1.3), showing that these synthetic membranes have the essential characteristics for an effective tissue regeneration. Human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) were seeded on PDO membranes; results demonstrated efficient cell migration, adhesion, spread, and proliferation, such that there was a slightly better hASC osteogenic differentiation on PDO than on collagen membranes. Hence, Plenum® Guide membranes are a safe and efficient alternative for resorbable membranes for tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Late-onset Alzheimer's Disease (LOAD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder that causes significant cognitive debilitation in tens of millions of patients worldwide. Throughout disease progression, abnormal secretase activity results in the aberrant cleavage and subsequent aggregation of neurotoxic Aβ plaques in the cerebral extracellular space and hyperphosphorylation and destabilization of structural tau proteins surrounding neuronal microtubules. Both pathologies ultimately incite the propagation of a disease-associated subset of microglia-the principle immune cells of the brain-characterized by preferentially pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion and inhibited AD substrate uptake capacity, which further contribute to neuronal degeneration. For decades, chronic neuroinflammation has been identified as one of the cardinal pathophysiological driving features of AD; however, despite a number of works postulating the underlying mechanisms of inflammation-mediated neurodegeneration, its pathogenesis and relation to the inception of cognitive impairment remain obscure. Moreover, the limited clinical success of treatments targeting specific pathological features in the central nervous system (CNS) illustrates the need to investigate alternative, more holistic approaches for ameliorating AD outcomes. Accumulating evidence suggests significant interplay between peripheral immune activity and blood-brain barrier permeability, microglial activation and proliferation, and AD-related cognitive decline. In this work, we review a narrow but significant subset of chronic peripheral inflammatory conditions, describe how these pathologies are associated with the preponderance of neuroinflammation, and posit that we may exploit peripheral immune processes to design interventional, preventative therapies for LOAD. We then provide a comprehensive overview of notable treatment paradigms that have demonstrated considerable merit toward treating these disorders.

Abstract
Craniofacial reconstruction of critical bone defects typically requires a bone graft. As graft availability may be restricted by disease or comorbidities, tissue engineering approaches are actively sought. The pericranium could provide new bone graft material. During development and repair, bone transitions through a chondrogenic phase. However, with tissue engineering, pluripotent cells can differentiate directly into bone cells. Does ability to recapitulate bone formation in vitro affect osteogenesis and vascularization of pericranium grafts? To answer this, we obtained tissue from nine patients with preplanned craniotomy surgery and studied three-dimensional osteogenesis and angiogenesis of pericranium-derived spheroids. First, we established growth and differentiation conditions on Matrigel. For each spheroid sample, we investigated (i) continuous osteogenic differentiation (COD) and (ii) osteogenic differentiation preceded by chondrogenesis (CD → OD). The effect of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was compared to VEGF supplemented with fibroblast growth factor, interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, platelet-derived growth factor, and tumor necrosis factor-α, a growth factor mix (GFM) with possible synergistic effects. In this limited sample, we observed no age- or sex-related differences in cell expansion. Similarly, no statistically significant differences in osteogenic or angiogenic scores between COD or CD → OD spheroids were noted with regular media. In COD, however, VEGF statistically significantly increased angiogenesis compared to control media (p = 0.007). Also, in COD, both VEGF and VEGF + GFM increased osteogenesis (p = 0.047 and p = 0.038, respectively). By contrast, in CD → OD, neither VEGF nor VEGF + GFM yielded statistically significant angiogenesis or osteogenesis scores compared to control media. To understand these results, we characterized spheroid protein expression by nanoliquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. Nine angiogenic proteins were either uniquely expressed or upregulated in COD compared to CD → OD: (i) endothelial markers JUP, PTGIS, PTGS2, and TYMP, (ii) tissue remodeling factors CHI3L1 and MMP14, and (iii) metabolic pathways modulators ANGPTL4, ITGA5, and WNT5A. ANGPTL4, ITGA5, PTGIS, PTGS2, and WNT5A define a conserved angiogenic network and were >2-fold increased in VEGF compared to VEGF + GFM. Finally, we examined bone formation on printable poly-(propylene-fumarate) (PPF) scaffolds for individualized grafting. Under COD + VEGF conditions, PPF scaffolds loaded with pericranium-derived cells displayed hallmarks of spongiform-like bone formation. Thus, the human pericranium may be a potential repository for bone-generating cells with applications in craniofacial bone repair using tissue printing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In tissue engineering, biomaterials create a 3D scaffold for cell-to-cell adhesion, proliferation and tissue formation. Because of their similarity to extracellular matrix and architectural adaptability, nanofibers are of particular interest in tissue engineering. Electrospinning is a well-documented technique for nanofiber production for tissue engineering scaffolds. Here we present literature on the applications of electrospinning in the field of otolaryngology. REVIEW METHODS A PubMed database search was performed to isolate articles published about applications of electrospun nanofibers for tissue engineering in otolaryngology. Study design, size, material tested, site of application within the head and neck, and outcomes were obtained for each study. RESULTS Almost all data on electrospinning in otolaryngology was published in the last 6 years (84%), highlighting its novelty. A total of 25 pre-clinical studies were identified: 9 in vitro studies, 5 in vivo animal studies, and 11 combination studies. Sites of application included: tracheal reconstruction (n = 16), tympanic membrane repair (n = 3), cranial nerve regeneration (n = 3), mastoid osteogenesis (n = 1) and ear/nose chondrogenesis (n = 2). IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Tissue engineering is a burgeoning field, with recent innovative applications in the field of otolaryngology. Electrospun nanofibers specifically have relevant applications in the field of otolaryngology, due in part to their similarity to native extracellular matrix, with emerging areas of interest being tympanic membrane repair, cranial nerve regeneration and tracheal reconstruction.

[PMID: 32864434 PMCID: PMC7444782 DOI: 10.1002/lio2.416] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2020] [Revised: 04/06/2020] [Accepted: 05/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
While tissue engineering holds significant potential to address current limitations in reconstructive surgery of the head and neck, few constructs have made their way into routine clinical use. In this review, we aim to appraise the state of head and neck tissue engineering over the past five years, with a specific focus on otologic, nasal, craniofacial bone, and laryngotracheal applications. A comprehensive scoping search of the PubMed database was performed and over 2000 article hits were returned with 290 articles included in the final review. These publications have addressed the hallmark characteristics of tissue engineering (cellular source, scaffold, and growth signaling) for head and neck anatomical sites. While there have been promising reports of effective tissue engineered interventions in small groups of human patients, the majority of research remains constrained to in vitro and in vivo studies aimed at furthering the understanding of the biological processes involved in tissue engineering. Further, differences in functional and cosmetic properties of the ear, nose, airway, and craniofacial bone affect the emphasis of investigation at each site. While otolaryngologists currently play a role in tissue engineering translational research, continued multidisciplinary efforts will likely be required to push the state of translation towards tissue-engineered constructs available for routine clinical use. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE NA.

Abstract
Cartilage created by tissue engineering is a promising new development in facial reconstructive surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the histological results of implantation of synthetic polymer scaffold with chondrocytes differentiated from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Adipose tissue obtained from Wistar albino rats was dissociated, incubated and placed in culture medium. After a sufficient level of stem cell proliferation, the differentiation phase was started. Cells were collected on the 7th and 21st day of culture for chondrogenic characterization. After the 21st day of the differentiation phase of chondrocytes, they were transferred onto poly(dl-lactide-epsilon-caprolactone) synthetic polymer and culture continued for 24 hours. The scaffold with chondrocytes was then implanted into a subcutaneous area of skin on the back of the neck of the rat. Six weeks after implantation, all rats were sacrificed and the implantation areas were analyzed. Chondrocytes derived from adipogenic mesenchymal stem cells were stained positively with collagen II, aggrecan and Sox-9 after the differentiation stages. Histological examination of the excised material showed that chondrocytes were present, and the scaffold had been completely absorbed. The results of this study indicate that the differentiation method from mesenchymal stem cells to chondrogenic lineage was straightforward and scaffold with cells was easily accessible. This technique may be a good option for cartilage tissue engineering.

Tissue-Engineered Grafts from Human Decellularized Extracellular Matrices: A Systematic Review and Future Perspectives. Int J Mol Sci 2018; 19:ijms19124117. [PMID: 30567407 PMCID: PMC6321114 DOI: 10.3390/ijms19124117] [Citation(s) in RCA: 191] [Impact Index Per Article: 31.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2018] [Revised: 12/11/2018] [Accepted: 12/12/2018] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine involve many different artificial and biologic materials, frequently integrated in composite scaffolds, which can be repopulated with various cell types. One of the most promising scaffolds is decellularized allogeneic extracellular matrix (ECM) then recellularized by autologous or stem cells, in order to develop fully personalized clinical approaches. Decellularization protocols have to efficiently remove immunogenic cellular materials, maintaining the nonimmunogenic ECM, which is endowed with specific inductive/differentiating actions due to its architecture and bioactive factors. In the present paper, we review the available literature about the development of grafts from decellularized human tissues/organs. Human tissues may be obtained not only from surgery but also from cadavers, suggesting possible development of Human Tissue BioBanks from body donation programs. Many human tissues/organs have been decellularized for tissue engineering purposes, such as cartilage, bone, skeletal muscle, tendons, adipose tissue, heart, vessels, lung, dental pulp, intestine, liver, pancreas, kidney, gonads, uterus, childbirth products, cornea, and peripheral nerves. In vitro recellularizations have been reported with various cell types and procedures (seeding, injection, and perfusion). Conversely, studies about in vivo behaviour are poorly represented. Actually, the future challenge will be the development of human grafts to be implanted fully restored in all their structural/functional aspects.
