Hydrogels dressings based on guar gum and chitosan: Inherent action against resistant bacteria and fast wound closure. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:127281. [PMID: 37806422 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127281] [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: 06/09/2023] [Revised: 10/03/2023] [Accepted: 10/05/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023]
Abstract
Hydrogels made with depolymerized guar gum, oxidized with theoretical oxidation degrees of 20, 35 and 50 %, were obtained via Schiff's base reaction with N-succinyl chitosan. The materials obtained were subjected to characterization by FT-IR, rheology, swelling, degradation, and morphology. Additionally, their gelation time categorized all three hydrogels as injectable. The materials' swelling degrees in Phosphate-Buffered Saline (PBS) were in the range of 26-35 g of fluid/g gel and their pore size distribution was heterogeneous, with pores varying from 67 to 93 μm. All hydrogels degraded in PBS solution, but maintained around 40 % of their initial mass after 28 days, which was more than enough time for wound healing. The biomaterials were also flexible, self-repairing, adhesive and cytocompatible and presented intrinsic actions, regardless of the presence of additives or antibiotics, against gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis) and gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli). However, the most pronounced bactericidal effect was against resistant Staphylococcus aureus - MRSA. In vivo assays, performed with 50 % oxidized gum gel, demonstrated that this material exerted anti-inflammatory effects, accelerating the healing process and restoring tissues by approximately 99 % within 14 days. In conclusion, these hydrogels have unique characteristics, making them excellent candidates for wound-healing dressings.

Monotropein Protects Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Impairments and Promotes Fracture Healing in an Ovariectomized Mouse Model. Calcif Tissue Int 2023; 113:558-570. [PMID: 37747519 DOI: 10.1007/s00223-023-01130-y] [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: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023]
Abstract
Monotropein is one of the active ingredients in Morinda Officinalis, which has been used for the treatment in multiple bone and joint diseases. This study aimed to observe the in vitro effects of Monotropein on osteogenic differentiation of lipopolysaccharide treated bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (bMSCs), and the in vivo effects of local application of Monotropein on bone fracture healing in ovariectomized mice. Lipopolysaccharide was used to set up the inflammatory model in bMSCs, which were treated by Monotropein. Molecular docking analysis was performed to evaluate the potential interaction between Monotropein and p65. Transverse fractures of middle tibias were established in ovariectomized mice, and Monotropein was locally applied to the fracture site using injectable hydrogel. Monotropein enhanced the ability of primary bMSCs in chondro-osteogenic differentiation. Furthermore, Monotropein rescued lipopolysaccharide-induced osteogenic differentiation impairment and inhibited lipopolysaccharide-induced p65 phosphorylation in primary bMSCs. Docking analysis showed that the binding activity of Monotropein and p65/14-3-3 complex is stronger than the selective inhibitor of NF-κB (p65), DP-005. Local application of Monotropein partially rescued the decreased bone mass and biomechanical properties of callus or healed tibias in ovariectomized mice. The expressions of Runx2, Osterix and Collagen I in the 2-week callus were partially restored in Monotropein-treated ovariectomized mice. Taking together, local application of Monotropein promoted fracture healing in ovariectomized mice. Inhibition of p65 phosphorylation and enhancement in osteogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells could be partial of the effective mechanisms.

Abstract
Normal wound healing occurs through a careful orchestration of cytokine and chemokine signaling in response to injury. Chemokines are a small family of chemotactic cytokines that are secreted by immune cells in response to injury and are primarily responsible for recruiting appropriate immune cell types to injured tissue at the appropriate time. Dysregulation of chemokine signaling is suspected to contribute to delayed wound healing and chronic wounds in diseased states. Various biomaterials are being used in the development of new therapeutics for wound healing and our understanding of their effects on chemokine signaling is limited. It has been shown that modifications to the physiochemical properties of biomaterials can affect the body's immune reaction. Studying these effects on chemokine expression by various tissues and cell type can help us develop novel biomaterial therapies. In this review, we summarize the current research available on both natural and synthetic biomaterials and their effects on chemokine signaling in wound healing. In our investigation, we conclude that our knowledge of chemokines is still limited and that many in fact share both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory properties. The predominance of either a pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory profile is mostly likely dependent on timing after injury and exposure to the biomaterial. More research is needed to better understand the interaction and contribution of biomaterials to chemokine activity in wound healing and their immunomodulatory effects.

Abstract
A local drug delivery system that attempts to find a suitable balance between antimicrobial and regenerative actions was developed for osteomyelitis treatment (OM). This system combines the angiogenic and immunomodulatory peptide LLKKK18 (LL18) and vancomycin hydrochloride (VH), loaded into an injectable oxidized dextrin (ODEX)-based hydrogel (HG). In vitro cytotoxicity was analyzed in MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts and erythrocytes. The kinetics of LL18 release was studied. Antimicrobial activity was assessed in vitro against a clinical Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain. A rat model of acute OM was developed by direct inoculation into a tibia defect, concomitantly with the implantation of the drug-loaded HG. The local bioburden was quantified and damage in surrounding tissues was examined histologically. In vitro, ODEX-based HG displayed a safe hemolytic profile. Half of LL18 (53%) is released during the swelling phase at physiological pH, then being gradually released until complete HG degradation. LL18-loaded HG at 300 μM was the most effective peptide formulation in decreasing in vivo infection among concentrations ranging from 86 to 429 μM. The histopathological scores observed in vivo varied with the LL18 concentration in a dose-dependent manner. VH at 28 mM completely eradicated bacteria, although with substantial tissue injury. We have found that sub-millimolar doses of VH combined with LL18 at 300 μM may suffice to eradicate the infection, with reduced tissue damage. We propose an easy-to-handle, shape-fitting HG formulation with the potential to treat MRSA-infected bone with low VH doses associated with LL18.

Abstract
Hydrogels based on poly-(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) have been widely used as biomaterials in tissue engineering due to their biocompatibility, hydrophilicity, and low friction coefficient. The terminal sterilization of hydrogels is a critical step in clinical applications. However, regulations and standardization for the sterilization of hydrogels based on pHEMA are still lacking. In this study, we explored six sterilization methods on pHEMA-based materials (A1: pHEMA, A2: pHEMA copolymerizes with acrylic acid, and A3: pHEMA copolymerizes with acrylic acid and further coordinated with iron ions), such as gamma irradiation, 75% ethanol, ultraviolet (UV), ethylene oxide (EtO), and autoclaving with or without deionized water (autoclaving-H2O or autoclaving-dry). Combining results from the multifaceted approaches with assessment, pHEMA-based hydrogels can be completely sterilized via the autoclaving-H2O method analyzed by sterilized testing. The physicochemical properties and cell behavior of sterilized hydrogels were not influenced by this sterilization approach, validated by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and tensile tests. The pHEMA-based hydrogel sterilized by the autoclaving-H2O method also had no effect on the cell behavior evaluated by in vitro cytotoxicity experiments and caused no evident inflammatory reaction in tissue in vivo implantation experiments. However, it was also found that there were still some defects in the A2 and A3 groups as biomaterials possibly because of an inappropriate proportion of formulations or raw material used in exploring sterilization methods. These findings have implications for the improvement and clinical application of pHEMA-based hydrogels.

Abstract
Interactions between stromal and lymphoma cells in the bone marrow are closely related to drug resistance and therapy failure. Physiologically relevant pre-clinical three-dimensional (3D) models recapitulating lymphoma microenvironmental complexity do not currently exist. In this study, we proposed a scheme for optically controlled hybrid lymphoma spheroid formation with the use of optical tweezers (OT). Following the preparation of stromal spheroids using agarose hydrogel, two aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma B-cell lines, Ri-1 (DLBCL) and Raji (Burkitt lymphoma), were used to conduct multi-cellular spheroid formation driven by in-house-developed fluorescence optical tweezers. Importantly, the newly formed hybrid spheroid preserved the 3D architecture for the next 24 h. Our model was successfully used for the evaluation of the influence of the anticancer agents doxorubicin (DOX), ibrutinib (IBR), and AMD3100 (plerixafor) on the adhesive properties of lymphoma cells. Importantly, our study revealed that a co-treatment of DOX and IBR with AMD3100 affects the adhesion of B-NHL lymphoma cells.

Abstract
Macrophage polarization is a key factor in determining the success of implanted tissue engineering scaffolds. Polysaccharides (derived from plants, animals, and microorganisms) are known to modulate macrophage phenotypes by recognizing cell membrane receptors. Numerous studies have developed polysaccharide-based materials into functional biomaterial substrates for tissue regeneration and pharmaceutical application due to their immunostimulatory activities and anti-inflammatory response. They are used as hydrogel substrates, surface coatings, and drug delivery carriers. In addition to their innate immunological functions, the newly endowed physical and chemical properties, including substrate modulus, pore size/porosity, surface binding chemistry, and the mole ratio of polysaccharides in hybrid materials may regulate macrophage phenotypes more precisely. Growing evidence indicates that the sulfation pattern of glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans expressed on polarized macrophages leads to the changes in protein binding, which may alter macrophage phenotype and influence the immune response. A comprehensive understanding of how different types of polysaccharide-based materials alter macrophage phenotypic changes can be beneficial to predict transplantation/implantation outcomes. This review focuses on recent advances in promoting wound healing and balancing macrophage phenotypes using polysaccharide-based substrates/coatings and new directions to address the limitations in the current understanding of macrophage responses to polysaccharides.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are the most abundant naturally available carbohydrate polymers; composed of monosaccharide units covalently connected together. Chitosan is the most widely used polysaccharides because of its exceptional biocompatibility, mucoadhesion, and chemical versatility. However, it suffers from a few drawbacks, e.g. poor mechanical properties and antibacterial activity for biomedical applications. Blending chitosan with natural or synthetic polymers may not merely improve its physicochemical and mechanical properties, but may also improve its bioactivity-induced properties. This review paper summarizes progress in chitosan blends with biodegradable polymers and polysaccharides and their biomedical applications. Blends of chitosan with alginate, starch, cellulose, pectin and dextran and their applications were particularly addressed. The critical and challenging aspects as well as the future ahead of the use of chitosan-based blends were eventually enlightened.

Abstract
Chitosan (CS) nanosystems have potential applications for the control of microorganisms in the medical, environmental, and agrifood fields. In vivo and in vitro assays of CS nanosystems have experienced increased activity due to improved physicochemical properties, biological activity, and reactivity. Hence, it is important to determine whether their application involves toxicological risks. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mutagenic, cytotoxic, phytotoxic, and in vivo antifungal activity of chitosan-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid nanobiocomposites (CS-PCA). The CS-PCA nanoparticles were synthesized by means of the nanoprecipitation technique with a size and ζ-potential of 502 ± 72 nm and + 54.7 ± 15.0 mV, respectively. According to the Ames test, no evidence of mutagenic activity was observed in Salmonella typhimurium strains. The cytotoxic assay showed that the incorporation of PCA into the CS matrix increased the toxic effect on ARPE-19 cells. However, fluorescence microscopy of ARPE-19 cells did not reveal morphostructural changes allusive to cell injury. CS-PCA exhibited strong phytotoxicity on lettuce seeds and the complete inhibition of seed development. The antifungal assay demonstrated that the CS-PCA delayed Aspergillus niger infection in tomato fruit until day 3; however, its use for the pre-treatment of seeds might exert adverse effects on plant development.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has emerged to create novel cell-based therapies for regenerative medicine applications. Vascularized networks within engineered constructs are required, and toward this end, we report a promising strategy using core-shell (c/s) extrusion 3D-bioprinting technology that employs biomimetic biomaterials to construct regenerative, prevascularized scaffolds for wound care. A custom-designed cell-responsive bioink consisting of a 13% (w/v) cell-laden gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) shell surrounding a peptide-functionalized, succinylated chitosan (C)/dextran aldehyde (D) cell-laden core was successfully bioprinted resulting in organized microdesigns exhibiting excellent cell viability and subsequent vessel formation. Our templating strategy takes advantage of GelMA's intrinsic thermoreversible properties of low degree of acryloyl functionalization used in combination with a lightly, chemically cross-linked peptide-CD core to serve as temporal structural supports that stabilize during extrusion onto a cooled platform. Mechanical integrity was further strengthened layer-by-layer via GelMA UV photo-cross-linking. We report the first example of GelMA used in combination with a peptide-CD bioink to c/s 3D-bioprint regenerative, prevascularized constructs for wound care. Particular cell adhesion and proteolytic peptide-CD functionalized pair combinations, P15/MMP-2 and P15/cRGD, were found to significantly increase growth of human bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stems cells (hBMSCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The constructs delivered two cell types: hBMSCs in the shell bioink and HUVECs within the core bioink. Cord-like, natural microvascularization was shown with endothelial cell marker expression as confirmed by immunofluorescence (IF) staining exhibiting tubelike structures. In addition, in vitro skin wound healing activity of the construct showed a ∼twofold rate of wound closure. Overall, c/s 3D-bioprinted, peptide-CD/GelMA constructs provided the appropriate microenvironment for in vitro stem and endothelial cell viability, delivery, and differentiation. We foresee these custom constructs as representing a fundamental step toward engineering larger scale regenerative, prevascularized tissues.

Abstract
The limitations of commercially available tissue sealants have resulted in the need for a new tissue adhesives with adequate adhesion, improved mechanical properties, and innocuous degradation products. To address current limitations, a visible light cross-linking method for the preparation of hydrogel tissue sealants, based on natural polymers (chitosan or alginate), is presented. Water-soluble chitosan was generated via modification with vinyl groups. To form hydrogels, alginate and chitosan were cross-linked by green light illumination, with or without the use of a bifunctional cross-linker. Evaluation of the mechanical properties through rheological characterization demonstrated an increased viscosity of polymer blends, and differences in shear moduli despite similar gelation points upon photo-cross-linking. A comparative study on the burst pressure properties of liquid versus solid material applications was performed to determine if the tissue sealants can perform under physiological lung pressures and beyond using different application methods. Higher burst pressure values were obtained for the sealants applied as a liquid compared to the solid application. The hydrogel tissue sealants revealed no cytotoxic effects toward primary human mesenchymal stem cells. This is the first report of a direct comparison between hydrogel tissue sealants of the same formulation applied in liquid versus solid form.

Abstract
Hydrogels are three-dimensional, crosslinked networks of hydrophilic polymers swollen with a large amount of water or biological fluids, without dissolving. Dextrin, a low-molecular-weight carbohydrate composed by glucose residues, has been used to develop an injectable hydrogel for biomedical applications. Dextrin was first oxidized to introduce aldehyde groups, which then reticulate with adipic acid dihydrazide, forming the dextrin-based hydrogel (HG). The HG and its components were tested for cyto- and genotoxicity according to the International Standard ISO 10993-3 on the biological evaluation of medical devices. To assess genotoxicity, a battery of in vitro genotoxicity tests employing both eukaryotic and prokaryotic models was performed: comet assay, cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay and Ames test. Our data revealed that the HG (IC50 = 2.8 mg/mL) and oxidized dextrin by itself (IC50 = 1.2 mg/mL) caused a concentration-dependent decrease in cellular viability of human lymphoblastoid TK6 cells after 24 hours of exposure to the test agents. However, these concentrations are unlikely to be reached in vivo. In addition, no significant increase in the DNA and chromosomal damage of TK6 cells exposed to non-cytotoxic concentrations of the HG and its isolated components was detected. Furthermore, neither the HG nor its metabolites exerted a mutagenic effect in different of Salmonella typhimurium strains and in an Escherichia coli mix. Our data demonstrated the genocompatibility of the HG (up to 3.5 mg/mL) for biomedical applications. To our best acknowledge, this is the first report with a detailed genotoxicity assessment of an aldehyde-modified polysaccharide/adipic acid dihydrazide hydrogel.

Abstract
Bioadhesives such as tissue adhesives, hemostatic agents, and tissue sealants have gained increasing popularity in different areas of clinical operations during the last three decades. Bioadhesives can be categorized into internal and external ones according to their application conditions. External bioadhesives are generally applied in topical medications such as wound closure and epidermal grafting. Internal bioadhesives are mainly used in intracorporal conditions with direct contact to internal environment including tissues, organs and body fluids, such as chronic organ leak repair and bleeding complication reduction. This review focuses on internal bioadhesives that, in contrast with external bioadhesives, emphasize much more on biocompatibility and adhesive ability to wet surfaces rather than on gluing time and intensity. The crosslinking mechanisms of present internal bioadhesives can be generally classified as follows: 1) chemical conjugation between reactive groups; 2) free radical polymerization by light or redox initiation; 3) biological or biochemical coupling with specificity; and 4) biomimetic adhesion inspired from natural phenomena. In this review, bioadhesive products of each class are summarized and discussed by comparing their designs, features, and applications as well as their prospects for future development. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Despite the emergence of numerous novel bioadhesive formulations in recent years, thus far, the classification of internal and external bioadhesives has not been well defined and universally acknowledged. Many of the formulations have been proposed for treatment of several diseases even though they are not applicable for such conditions. This is because of the lack of a systematic standard or evaluation protocol during the development of a new adhesive product. In this review, the definition of internal and external bioadhesives is given for the first time, and with a focus on internal bioadhesives, the criteria of an ideal internal bioadhesive are adequately discussed; this is followed by the review of recently developed internal bioadhesives based on different gluing mechanisms.

Abstract
Functional active wound dressings are expected to provide a moist wound environment, offer protection from secondary infections, remove wound exudate and accelerate tissue regeneration, as well as to improve the efficiency of wound healing. Chitosan-based hydrogels are considered as ideal materials for enhancing wound healing owing to their biodegradable, biocompatible, non-toxic, antimicrobial, biologically adhesive, biological activity and hemostatic effects. Chitosan-based hydrogels have been demonstrated to promote wound healing at different wound healing stages, and also can alleviate the factors against wound healing (such as excessive inflammatory and chronic wound infection). The unique biological properties of a chitosan-based hydrogel enable it to serve as both a wound dressing and as a drug delivery system (DDS) to deliver antibacterial agents, growth factors, stem cells and so on, which could further accelerate wound healing. For various kinds of wounds, chitosan-based hydrogels are able to promote the effectiveness of wound healing by modifying or combining with other polymers, and carrying different types of active substances. In this review, we will take a close look at the application of chitosan-based hydrogels in wound dressings and DDS to enhance wound healing.

Abstract
Hydroxyethyl chitosan (HECTS) is a critical derivative of chitosan that has been widely used as biomedical materials due to great water-solubility and excellent biocompatibility. Here, photosensitive hydroxyethyl chitosan was synthesized by introducing azide group on NH2 of HECTS (HECTS-AZ), afterwards FTIR and 1H NMR spectra were detected to confirm the formation of HECTS-AZ. The solution of HECTS-AZ can achieve a sol-gel transition through UV irradiation for 30 s. The evaluation of biocompability and biodegradability in vivo was conducted in rats, visual and pathological examinations exhibited the HECTS-AZ has excellent biocompability and degradation time of the hydrogel is more than 14 weeks. Furthermore, HECTS-AZ hydrogel as an ocular drug delivery system loading heparin was prepared to implant under sclera of rabbit after glaucoma filtration surgery (GFS). The experimental results demonstrated the heparin loaded hydrogel can effectively maintain filtration bleb and lowing intraocular pressure (IOP) after GFS for prolonged time. Besides, obvious inflammatory reactions and side effects have not been observed in ocular during the experimental period. In conclusion, the HECTS-AZ hydrogel is a potential drug delivery device for the treatment of glaucoma and other ocular diseases.

Abstract
Hydrogels are suitable materials to promote cell proliferation and tissue support because of their hydrophilic nature, porous structure and sticky properties. However, hydrogel synthesis involves the addition of additives that can increase the risk of inducing cytotoxicity. Sterilization is a critical process for hydrogel clinical use as a proper scaffold for tissue engineering. In this study, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), poly(ethylene glycol)-chitosan (PEG-CH) and multi-arm PEG hydrogels were synthesized by free radical polymerization and sterilized by gamma irradiation or disinfected using 70 % ethanol. The biocompatibility assessment in human fibroblasts and hemocompatibility studies (hemolysis, platelet aggregation, morphology of mononuclear cells and viability) in peripheral blood from healthy volunteers (ex vivo), were performed. The sterilization or disinfection effect on hydrogel structures was evaluated by FT-IR spectroscopy. Results indicated that hydrogels do not induce any damage to fibroblasts, erythrocytes, platelets or mononuclear cells. Moreover, there was no significant difference in the biocompatibility after the sterilization or disinfection treatment. However, after gamma irradiation, several IR spectroscopic bands were shifted to higher or lower energies with different intensity in all hydrogels. In particular, several bands associated to carboxyl or hydroxyl groups were slightly shifted, possibly associated to scission reactions. The disinfection treatment (70 % ethanol) and γ-irradiation at 13.83 ± 0.7 kGy did not induce morphological damages and yielded sterile and biocompatible PEG hydrogels potentially useful for clinical applications.

Abstract
A highly oxidized form of a chitosan/dextran-based hydrogel (CD-100) containing 80% oxidized dextran aldehyde (DA-100) was developed as a post-operative aid, and found to significantly prevent adhesion formation in endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). However, the CD-100 hydrogel showed moderate in vitro cytotoxicity to mammalian cell lines, with the DA-100 found to be the cytotoxic component. In order to extend the use of the hydrogel to abdominal surgeries, reformulation using a lower oxidized DA (DA-25) was pursued. The aim of the present study was to compare the antimicrobial efficacy, in vitro biocompatibility and wound healing capacity of the highly oxidized CD-100 hydrogel with the CD-25 hydrogel. Antimicrobial studies were performed against a range of clinically relevant abdominal microorganisms using the micro-broth dilution method. Biocompatibility testing using human dermal fibroblasts was assessed via a tetrazolium reduction assay (MTT) and a wound healing model. In contrast to the original DA-100 formulation, DA-25 was found to be non-cytotoxic, and showed no overall impairment of cell migration, with wound closure occurring at 72 h. However, the lower oxidation level negatively affected the antimicrobial efficacy of the hydrogel (CD-25). Although the CD-25 hydrogel's antimicrobial efficacy and anti-fibroblast activity is decreased when compared to the original CD-100 hydrogel formulation, previous in vivo studies show that the CD-25 hydrogel remains an effective, biocompatible barrier agent in the prevention of postoperative adhesions.

Abstract
An amine-functionalized succinyl chitosan and an oxidized dextran were synthesized and mixed in aqueous solution to form an in situ chitosan/dextran injectable, surgical hydrogel for adhesion prevention. Rheological characterization showed that the rate of gelation and moduli were tunable based on amine and aldehyde levels, as well as polymer concentrations. The CD hydrogels have been shown to be effective post-operative aids in prevention of adhesions in ear, nose, and throat surgeries and abdominal surgeries in vivo. In vitro biocompatibility testing was performed on CD hydrogels containing one of two oxidized dextrans, an 80 % oxidized (CD-100) or 25 % (CD-25) oxidized dextran. However, the CD-100 hydrogel showed moderate cytotoxicity in vitro to Vero cells. SC component of the CD hydrogel, however, showed no cytotoxic effect. In order to increase the biocompatibility of the hydrogel, a lower aldehyde level hydrogel was developed. CD-25 was found to be non-cytotoxic to L929 fibroblasts. The in vivo pro-inflammatory response of the CD-25 hydrogel, after intraperitoneal injection in BALB/c mice, was also determined by measuring serum TNF-α levels and by histological analysis of tissues. TNF-α levels were similar in mice injected with CD-25 hydrogel as compared to the negative saline injected control; and were significantly different (P < 0.05) as compared to the positive, lipopolysaccharide, injected control. Histological examination revealed no inflammation seen in CD hydrogel injected mice. The results of these in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate the biocompatibility of the CD hydrogel as a post-operative aid for adhesion prevention.
