Abstract
Recently, polymer-based tissue adhesives (TAs) have gained the attention of scientists and industries as alternatives to sutures for sealing and closing wounds or incisions because of their ease of use, low cost, minimal tissue damage, and short application time. However, poor mechanical properties and weak adhesion strength limit the application of TAs, although numerous studies have attempted to develop new TAs with enhanced performance. Therefore, next-generation TAs with improved multifunctional properties are required. In this review, we address the requirements of polymeric TAs, adhesive characteristics, adhesion strength assessment methods, adhesion mechanisms, applications, advantages and disadvantages, and commercial products of polysaccharide (PS)-based TAs, including chitosan (CS), alginate (AL), dextran (DE), and hyaluronic acid (HA). Additionally, future perspectives are discussed.

Abstract
Long-acting injectables have been used to benefit patients with chronic diseases. So far, several biodegradable long-acting platform technologies including drug-loaded polymeric microparticles, implants (preformed and in situ forming), oil-based solutions, and aqueous suspension have been established. In this chapter, we summarize all the marketed technology platforms and discuss their challenges regarding development including but not limited to controlling drug release, particle size, stability, sterilization, scale-up manufacturing, etc. Finally, we discuss important criteria to consider for the successful development of long-acting injectables.

Abstract
This study employed superficial ultrasound exposure of good ocular safety and a drug-loaded hydrogel of long residence time to enable transscleral delivery. First, we designed an acoustic adaptor to limit the ultrasound exposure depth to 1.59 mm to protect the posterior eye segments. Then, we optimized the alginate/polyacrylamide ratio (3:7) of a dual-crosslinked hydrogel to enable ultrasound-triggered release of model drug (70-kDa fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated dextran). Using fluorescence imaging to quantify the drug release, we showed that the developed method resulted in enhanced transscleral delivery in both ex vivo porcine scleras (2.6-fold) and in vivo rabbit scleras (2.2-fold). We also demonstrated that the method increased the drug penetration depth to the whole thickness of the sclera. In particular, the drug release efficiency increased with increasing ultrasound exposure time (1 and 3 min) and intensity (8, 19, 36, and 61 mW/cm2). Using scanning electron microscopy, we revealed that ultrasound exposure resulted in rougher surfaces and microscale rupture of the hydrogel. Moreover, Masson staining of scleral slices showed that the integrity of the top scleral fibers was disturbed by ultrasound exposure, and this disturbance recovered 3 days later. Our work demonstrates that the developed method holds great potential for mediating ocular drug delivery.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1252574. [PMID: 37840668 PMCID: PMC10569426 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2023.1252574] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Oral mucosal wounds exhibit an increased susceptibility to inflammation as a consequence of their direct exposure to a diverse range of microorganisms. This causes pain, slow healing, and other complications that interfere with patients' daily activities like eating and speaking. Consequently, patients experience a significant decline in their overall quality of life. Therefore, the pursuit of novel treatment approaches is of great importance. In this study, ginsenoside Rg1, a natural active substance extracted from ginseng root, was chosen as a therapeutic agent. It was encapsulated in a screened photo-crosslinked hydrogel scaffold for the treatment of mucosal defects in the rat palate. The results demonstrated that Rg1-hydrogel possessed excellent physical and chemical properties, and that oral mucosa wounds treated with Rg1-hydrogel exhibited the greatest healing performance, as evidenced by more pronounced wound re-epithelialization, increased collagen deposition, and decreased inflammatory infiltration. Subsequent investigations in molecular biology confirmed that Rg1-hydrogel stimulated the secretion of repair-related factors and inhibited the secretion of inflammatory factors. This study demonstrated that the hydrogel containing ginsenoside Rg1 significantly promotes oral mucosal tissue healing in vivo. Based on the findings, it can be inferred that the Rg1-hydrogel has promising prospects for the therapeutic management of oral mucosal wounds.

Abstract
Oral lichen planus (OLP) and recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) are common chronic inflammatory conditions, manifesting as painful oral lesions that negatively affect patients' quality of life. Current treatment approaches are mainly palliative and often ineffective due to inadequate contact time of the therapeutic agent with the lesions. Here, we developed the Dental Tough Adhesive (DenTAl), a bioinspired adhesive patch with robust mechanical properties, capable of strong adhesion against diverse wet and dynamically moving intraoral tissues, and extended drug delivery of clobetasol-17-propionate, a first-line drug for treating OLP and RAS. DenTAl was found to have superior physical and adhesive properties compared to existing oral technologies, with ~2 to 100× adhesion to porcine keratinized gingiva and ~3 to 15× stretchability. Clobetasol-17-propionate incorporated into the DenTAl was released in a tunable sustained manner for at least 3 wk and demonstrated immunomodulatory capabilities in vitro, evidenced by reductions in several cytokines, including TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10, MCP-5, MIP-2, and TIMP-1. Our findings suggest that DenTAl may be a promising device for intraoral delivery of small-molecule drugs applicable to the management of painful oral lesions associated with chronic inflammatory conditions.
