Abstract
The standard surgical procedure for abdominal hernia repair with conventional prosthetic mesh still results in a high recurrence rate. In the present study, we propose a fibroblast matrix implant (FMI), which is a three-dimensional (3D) poly-L-lactic acid scaffold coated with collagen (matrix) and seeded with fibroblasts, as an alternative mesh for hernia repair. The matrix was seeded with fibroblasts (cellularized) and treated with a conditioned medium (CM) of human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hUC-MSC). Fibroblast proliferation and function were assessed and compared between treated with CM hUC-MSC and untreated group, 24 h after seeding onto the matrix (n= 3). To study the matricesin vivo,the hernia was surgically created on male Sprague Dawley rats and repaired with four different grafts (n= 3), including a commercial mesh (mesh group), a matrix without cells (cell-free group), a matrix seeded with fibroblasts (FMI group), and a matrix seeded with fibroblasts and cultured in medium treated with 1% CM hUC-MSC (FMI-CM group).In vitroexamination showed that the fibroblasts' proliferation on the matrices (treated group) did not differ significantly compared to the untreated group. CM hUC-MSC was able to promote the collagen synthesis of the fibroblasts, resulting in a higher collagen concentration compared to the untreated group. Furthermore, thein vivostudy showed that the matrices allowed fibroblast growth and supported cell functionality for at least 1 month after implantation. The highest number of fibroblasts was observed in the FMI group at the 14 d endpoint, but at the 28 d endpoint, the FMI-CM group had the highest. Collagen deposition area and neovascularization at the implantation site were observed in all groups without any significant difference between the groups. FMI combined with CM hUC-MSC may serve as a better option for hernia repair, providing additional reinforcement which in turn should reduce hernia recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patch repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) using Gore-Tex® is associated with infection, adhesions, hernia recurrence, long-term musculoskeletal sequels and poor tissue regeneration. To overcome these limitations, the performance of two novel biodegradable membranes was tested to repair CDH in a growing pig model. METHODS Twelve male pigs were randomly assigned to 3 different groups of 4 animals each, determined by the type of patch used during thoracoscopic diaphragmatic hernia repair (Gore-Tex®, polycaprolactone electrospun membrane-PCLem, and decellularized human chorion membrane-dHCM). After 7 weeks, all animals were euthanized, followed by necropsy for diaphragmatic evaluation and histological analysis. RESULTS Thoracoscopic defect creation and diaphragmatic repair were performed without any technical difficulty in all groups. However, hernia recurrence rate was 0% in Gore-Tex®, 50% in PCLem and 100% in dHCM groups. At euthanasia, Gore-Tex® patches appeared virtually unchanged and covered with a fibrotic capsule, while PCLem and dHCM patches were replaced by either floppy connective tissue or vascularized and floppy regenerated membranous tissue, respectively. CONCLUSION Gore-Tex® was associated with a higher survival rate and lower recurrence. Nevertheless, the proposed biodegradable membranes were associated with better tissue integration when compared with Gore-Tex®.

Abstract
Diaphragmatic wall defects caused by congenital disorders or disease remain a major challenge for physicians worldwide. Polymeric patches have been extensively explored within research laboratories and the clinic for soft tissue and diaphragm reconstruction. However, patch usage may be associated with allergic reaction, infection, granulation, and recurrence of the hernia. In this study, we designed and fabricated a porous scaffold using a combination of 3D printing and freeze-drying techniques. A 3D printed polycaprolactone (PCL) mesh was used to reinforcegelatin scaffolds, representing an advantage over previously reported examples since it provides mechanical strength and flexibility. In vitro studies showed that adherent cells were anchorage-dependent and grew as a monolayer attached to the scaffolds. Microscopic observations indicated better cell attachments for the scaffolds with higher gelatin content as compared with the PCL control samples. Tensile testing demonstrated the mechanical strength of samples was significantly greater than adult diaphragm tissue. The biocompatibility of the specimens was investigated in vivo using a subcutaneous implantation method in Bagg albino adult mice for 20 days, with the results indicating superior cellular behavior and attachment on scaffolds containing gelatin in comparison to pure PCL scaffolds, suggesting that the porous PCL/gelatin scaffolds have potential as biodegradable and flexible constructs for diaphragm reconstruction.

Abstract
Background Hybrid hernia meshes combine biological tissue-derived extracellular matrix with permanent or resorbable synthetic. The objective of this study was to evaluate hybrid meshes (Gore® Synecor, Zenapro™, Ovitex™ 1S Reinforced Bioscaffold Permanent, and Ovitex™ 1S Reinforced Bioscaffold Resorbable) compared to non-hybrid, bioresorbable synthetic mesh (Phasix™ Mesh) in a rabbit bacterial inoculation model. Materials and methods Subcutaneous pockets were bilaterally created in male, New Zealand White rabbits (n = 25). Circular meshes (3.8 cm diameter) were implanted and inoculated with 1 × 106 colony forming units (CFU) of clinically-isolated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). A given animal received a single mesh type. Seven days post-inoculation, animals were euthanized and white material and microbial colonization were assessed by abscess scoring and CFU quantification, respectively. Non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis with Dunn's post-hoc tests compared results for different meshes. Results Phasix™ Mesh and Synecor exhibited significantly lower abscess scores than Zenapro™, Ovitex™ 1S Permanent, and Ovitex™ 1S Resorbable (p < 0.05). All pocket swabs for Zenapro™ and Ovitex™ meshes were positive for MRSA (100%), with 20% of Synecor and 0% Phasix™ Mesh. Microbial colonization was significantly lower for Phasix™ Mesh (0 CFU) relative to Zenapro™ (6.73 × 107 CFU (median)), Ovitex™ 1S Permanent (7.87 × 107 CFU) and Ovitex™ 1S Resorbable (1.45 × 108 CFU), and for Synecor (0 CFU) relative to both Ovitex™ meshes. Phasix™ Mesh was the only device with no detectable abscess or microbial colonization. Conclusion Phasix™ Mesh demonstrated no detectable abscess or microbial colonization at 7-days post-implantation and inoculation, in contrast with four hybrid meshes, which all demonstrated colonization in a rabbit bacterial inoculation model.

Abstract
Among the different materials used as protheses for the treatment of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) plays a leading role owing to its mechanical properties as explained in the first part of this review. However, this material is poorly cell adhesive, which is expected for its contact on the abdominal face, but should display specific tissue adhesion on its thoracic exposed faced. A side specific functionalization method is hence required. The deposition of a nanosized polydopamine film on PTFE is known to be possible but immersion of the e-PTFE membrane in an aerated dopamine solution leads to a functionalization not only on both faces of the membrane but also in its porous volume. The fact that polydopamine also forms at the water/air interface has allowed to transfer a polydopamine film on only one face of the e-PTFE membrane. The deposition method and applications of such Janus like membranes are reviewed in the second part of the review.

Abstract
Electrospun yarns offer substantial opportunities for the fabrication of elastic scaffolds for flexible tissue engineering applications. Currently available yarns are predominantly made of synthetic elastic materials. Thus scaffolds made from these yarns typically lack cell signaling cues. This can result in poor integration or even rejection on implantation, which drive demands for a new generation of yarns made from natural biologically compatible materials. Here, we present a new type of cell-attractive, highly twisted protein-based yarns made from blended tropoelastin and silk fibroin. These yarns combine physical and biological benefits by being rendered elastic and bioactive through the incorporation of tropoelastin and strengthened through the presence of silk fibroin. Remarkably, the process delivered multi-meter long yarns of tropoelastin-silk mixture that were conducive to fabrication of meshes on hand-made frames. The resulting hydrated meshes are elastic and cell interactive. Furthermore, subcutaneous implantation of the meshes in mice demonstrates their tolerance and persistence over 8 weeks. This combination of mechanical properties, biocompatibility and processability into diverse shapes and patterns underscores the value of these materials and platform technology for tissue engineering applications. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Synthetic yarns are used to fabricate textile materials for various applications such as surgical meshes for hernia repair and pelvic organ prolapse. However, synthetic materials lack the attractive biological and physical cues characteristic of extracellular matrix and there is a demand for materials that can minimize postoperative complications. To address this need, we made yarns from a combination of recombinant human tropoelastin and silk fibroin using a modified electrospinning approach that blended these proteins into functional yarns. Prior to this study, no protein-based yarns using tropoelastin were available for the fabrication of functional textile materials. Multimeter-long, uniform and highly twisted yarns based on these proteins were elastic and cell interactive and demonstrated processing to yield textile fabrics. By using these yarns to weave fabrics, we demonstrate that an elastic human matrix protein blend can deliver a versatile platform technology to make textiles that can be explored for efficacy in tissue repair.

Abstract
Disrupted organogenesis leads to permanent malformations that may require surgical correction. Autologous tissue grafts may be needed in severe lack of orthotopic tissue but include donor site morbidity. The placenta is commonly discarded after birth and has a therapeutic potential. The aim of this study was to determine if the amnion from placenta or plasma rich of growth factors (PRGF) with mononuclear cells (MNC) from umbilical cord blood (UCB), collected noninvasively, could be used as bio-constructs for autologous transplantation as an easy-accessible no cell culture-required method. Human amnion and PRGF gel were isolated and kept in culture for up to 21 days with or without small intestine submucosa (SIS). The cells in the constructs showed a robust phenotype without induced increased proliferation (Ki67) or apoptosis (caspase 3), but the constructs showed decreased integrity of the amnion-epithelial layer at the end of culture. Amnion-residing cells in the SIS constructs expressed CD73 or pan-cytokeratin, and cells in the PRGF-SIS constructs expressed CD45 and CD34. This study shows that amnion and UCB are potential sources for production of autologous grafts in the correction of congenital soft tissue defects. The constructs can be made promptly after birth with minimal handling or cell expansion needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prosthetic patches can be used to repair large congenital diaphragmatic hernia defects but may be associated with infection, recurrence, and thoracic deformity. Biosheets (collagenous connective tissue membranes) have been used in regenerative medicine. We evaluated the efficacy of Biosheets in a rabbit model. METHODS Biosheets were prepared by embedding silicone plates in dorsal subcutaneous pouches of rabbits for 4weeks. In group 1 (n=11), Gore-Tex® sheets (1.8×1.8cm) were implanted into a diaphragmatic defect. In group 2 (n=11), Seamdura®, a bioabsorbable artificial dural substitute, was implanted in the same manner. In group 3 (n=14), biosheets were autologously transplanted into the diaphragmatic defects. All rabbits were euthanized 3months after transplantation to evaluate their graft status. RESULTS Herniation of liver was observed in 5 rabbits (45%) in group 1, 8 (73%) in group 2, and 3 (21%) in group 3. A significant difference was noted between groups 2 and 3 (P=0.017). Biosheets had equivalent burst strength and modulus of elasticity as native diaphragm. Muscular tissue regeneration in transplanted biosheets in group 3 was confirmed histologically. CONCLUSION Biosheets may be applied to diaphragmatic repair and replacement of diaphragmatic muscular tissue. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III.

Abstract
SummaryObjective: To report the clinical use of a pedicle flap from the rectus abdominis muscle to repair extensive diaphragmatic tears in dogs with diaphragmatic hernia.Materials and methods: Three dogs with a combination of radial and circumferential diaphragmatic tears were studied. The circumferential tear was repaired by suturing the wound edge with the edge at the abdominal wall. A pedicle flap of the rectus abdominis muscle was used for repairing the radial tear. The dogs were examined radiographically for lung and diaphragm appearance and evidence of reherniation at 10 days, and at one, two, and four months after surgery, and fluoroscopically for paradoxical motion of the diaphragm at one and four months.Results: The rectus abdominis muscle pedicle flap was successfully used in all three dogs. The animals recovered uneventfully without evidence of reherniation during the four follow-up months. Fluoroscopic examination revealed no paradoxical motion of the diaphragm.Clinical significance: A rectus abdominis muscle pedicle flap can be used for repairing large diaphragmatic defects in dogs.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to demonstrate a method of isolating myogenic progenitor cells from human placenta chorionic villi and to confirm the myogenic characteristics of the isolated cells. METHODS Cells were isolated from chorionic villi of a second trimester male placenta via a combined enzymatic digestion and explant culture. A morphologically distinct subpopulation of elongated and multinucleated cells was identified. This subpopulation was manually passaged from the explant culture, expanded, and analyzed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assay, immunocytochemistry, and flow cytometry. Myogenic characteristics including alignment and fusion were tested by growing these cells on aligned polylactic acid microfibrous scaffold in a fusion media composed of 2% horse serum in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium/high glucose. RESULTS The expanded subpopulation was uniformly positive for integrin α-7. Presence of Y-chromosome by FISH analysis confirmed chorionic villus origin rather than maternal cell contamination. Isolated cells grew, aligned, and fused on the microfibrous scaffold, and they expressed myogenin, desmin, and MHC confirming their myogenic identity. CONCLUSION Myogenic progenitor cells can be isolated from human chorionic villi. This opens the possibility for translational and clinical applications using autologous myogenic cells for possible engraftment in treatment of chest and abdominal wall defects.

Abstract
PURPOSE Surgical restoration of soft tissue defects often requires implantable devices. The clinical outcome of the surgery is determined by the properties inherent to the used matrix. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) modulate the immune processes after in vivo transplantation and their addition to matrices is associated with constructive remodeling. Herein we evaluate the potential of MSC derived from the amniotic fluid (AF-MSC), an interesting MSC source for cell therapeutic applications in the perinatal period, for immune modulation when added to a biomaterial. METHODS We implant cell free small intestinal submucosa (SIS) or SIS seeded with AF-MSC at a density of 1 × 105/cm2 subcutaneously at the abdominal wall in immune competent rats. The host immune response is evaluated at 3, 7 and 14 days postoperatively. RESULTS The matrix-specific or cellular characteristics are not altered after 24 h of in vitro co-culture of SIS with AF-MSC. The host immune response was not different between animals implanted with cell free or AF-MSC-seeded SIS in terms of cellular infiltration, vascularity, macrophage polarization or scaffold replacement. Profiling the mRNA expression level of inflammatory cytokines at the matrix interface shows a significant reduction in the expression of the pro-inflammatory marker Tnf-α and a trend towards lower iNos expression upon AF-MSC-seeding of the SIS matrix. Anti-inflammatory marker expression does not alter upon cell seeding of matrix implants. CONCLUSION We conclude that SIS is a suitable substrate for in vitro culture of AF-MSC and fibroblasts. AF-MSC addition to SIS does not significantly modulate the host immune response after subcutaneous implantation in rats.

Abstract
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) remains a major challenge and associated mortality is still significant. Patients have benefited from current therapeutic options, but most severe cases are still associated to poor outcome. Regenerative medicine is emerging as a valid option in many diseases and clinical trials are currently happening for various conditions in children and adults. We report here the advancement in the field which will help both in the understanding of further CDH development and in offering new treatment options for the difficult situations such as repair of large diaphragmatic defects and lung hypoplasia. The authors believe that advancements in regenerative medicine may lead to increase of CDH patients׳ survival.

Abstract
In this article, the benefits offered by micro-fibrous scaffold architectures fabricated by textile manufacturing techniques are discussed: How can established and novel fiber-processing techniques be exploited in order to generate templates matching the demands of the target cell niche? The problems related to the development of biomaterial fibers (especially from nature-derived materials) ready for textile manufacturing are addressed. Attention is also paid on how biological cues may be incorporated into micro-fibrous scaffold architectures by hybrid manufacturing approaches (e.g. nanofiber or hydrogel functionalization). After a critical review of exemplary recent research works on cell-free fiber based scaffolds for in situ TE, including clinical studies, we conclude that in order to make use of the whole range of favors which may be provided by engineered fibrous scaffold systems, there are four main issues which need to be addressed: (1) Logical combination of manufacturing techniques and materials. (2) Biomaterial fiber development. (3) Adaption of textile manufacturing techniques to the demands of scaffolds for regenerative medicine. (4) Incorporation of biological cues (e.g. stem cell homing factors).

Abstract
Medical-grade synthetic poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) polymer can be used as a biomaterial for nerve repair because of its good biocompatibility, biodegradability and adjustable degradation rate. The stress relaxation and creep properties of peripheral nerve can be greatly improved by repair with poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) tubes. Ten sciatic nerve specimens were harvested from fresh corpses within 24 hours of death, and were prepared into sciatic nerve injury models by creating a 10 mm defect in each specimen. Defects were repaired by anastomosis with nerve autografts and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) tubes. Stress relaxation and creep testing showed that at 7 200 seconds, the sciatic nerve anastomosed by poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) tubes exhibited a greater decrease in stress and increase in strain than those anastomosed by nerve autografts. These findings suggest that poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) exhibits good viscoelasticity to meet the biomechanical require-ments for a biomaterial used to repair sciatic nerve injury.

Abstract
Coating of various synthetic, absorbable, and biologic meshes with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and fibroblasts was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Five hernia meshes-light weight monofilament polypropylene (Soft Mesh), polyester (Parietex-TET), polylactide composite (TIGR), heavy weight monofilament polypropylene (Marlex), and porcine dermal collagen (Strattice)-were coated with three cell lines: human dermal fibroblasts (HFs), rat kidney fibroblasts (NRKs), and rat MSCs. Cell densities were determined at different time points. Samples also underwent histology and transmission electron microscopic (TEM) analyses. It required HFs 3 weeks to cover the entire mesh, while only 2 weeks for NRKs and MSCs to do so. MSCs had no preference for any of the meshes and produced the highest cell densities on Parietex and TIGR. Substrate-preference accounted for the significantly lower fibroblast densities on TIGR than Parietex. Fibroblasts failed to coat Marlex. Strattice, which had the least surface area, generated comparable cell densities to Parietex. Both histology and TEM confirmed cell coating of mesh surface. Various prosthetics can be coated by certain cell strains. Both mesh composition and cell preference dramatically influence the coating process. This methodology provides foundation for novel avenues of modulation of host response to various modern synthetic and biologic meshes.

Abstract
Large diaphragmatic muscle defects in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) are reconstructed by prosthetic materials or autologous grafts, which are associated with high complications and reherniation. In this study we examined the feasibility of using aligned electrospun poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/collagen hybrid scaffolds for diaphragmatic muscle reconstruction. The hybrid scaffolds were implanted into a central left hemi-diaphragmatic defect (approximately 70% of the diaphragmatic tissue on the left side) in rats. Radiographic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analyses showed no evidence of herniation or retraction up to 6 months after implantation. Histological and immunohistochemical evaluations revealed ingrowth of muscle tissue into the scaffolds. The mechanical properties of the retrieved diaphragmatic scaffolds were similar to those of normal diaphragm at the designated time points. Our results show that the aligned electrospun hybrid scaffolds allowed muscle cell migration and tissue formation. The aligned scaffolds may provide implantable functional muscle tissues for patients with diaphragmatic muscle defects.

Abstract
Regenerative medicine (RM) is a new field of biomedical science that focuses on the regeneration of tissues and organs and the restoration of organ function. Although regeneration of organ systems such as bone, cartilage, and heart has attracted intense scientific research over recent decades, RM research regarding the respiratory system, including the trachea, the lung proper, and the diaphragm, has lagged behind. However, the last 5 years have witnessed novel approaches and initial clinical applications of tissue-engineered constructs to restore organ structure and function. In this regard, this article briefly addresses the basics of RM and introduces the key elements necessary for tissue regeneration, including (stem) cells, biomaterials, and extracellular matrices. In addition, the current status of the (clinical) application of RM to the respiratory system is discussed, and bottlenecks and recent approaches are identified. For the trachea, several initial clinical studies have been reported and have used various combinations of cells and scaffolds. Although promising, the methods used in these studies require optimization and standardization. For the lung proper, only (stem) cell-based approaches have been probed clinically, but it is becoming apparent that combinations of cells and scaffolds are required to successfully restore the lung's architecture and function. In the case of the diaphragm, clinical applications have focused on the use of decellularized scaffolds, but novel scaffolds, with or without cells, are clearly needed for true regeneration of diaphragmatic tissue. We conclude that respiratory treatment with RM will not be realized tomorrow, but its future looks promising.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS Cell-based tissue engineering strategies could potentially provide attractive alternatives to surgical reconstruction of native tissue or the use of surgical implants in treating pelvic organ prolapse (POP). METHODS Based on a search in PubMed, this review focuses on candidate cell types, scaffolds, and trophic factors used in studies examining cell-based tissue engineering strategies to treat POP, stress urinary incontinence (SUI), and the closely related field of hernias. RESULTS In contrast to the field of SUI, the use of cell-based tissue engineering strategies to treat POP are very sparsely explored, and only preclinical studies exist. CONCLUSION The available evidence suggests that the use of autologous muscle-derived cells, fibroblasts, or mesenchymal stem cells seeded on biocompatible, degradable, and potentially growth-promoting scaffolds could be an alternative to surgical reconstruction of native tissue or the use of conventional implants in treating POP. However, the vagina is a complex organ with great demands of functionality, and the perfect match of scaffold, cell, and trophic factor has yet to be found and tested in preclinical studies. Important issues such as safety and economy must also be addressed before this approach is ready for clinical studies.

Abstract
Surgical management of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) remains a challenge for all clinicians. While the treatment strategies for CDH have evolved from emergent surgical intervention to initial hemodynamic stabilization with delayed surgical repair, surgical innovations have remained limited in the last 20 years. Advances in surgical approaches, such as minimally invasive surgery and alternatives to diaphragmatic replacement, have focused on improvements in surgical morbidity.

Abstract
Repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) continues to pose a dilemma for the pediatric surgeon. While the management of CDH has evolved from surgical urgency to delayed repair after medical optimization with substantial improvements in mortality, morbidity continues to perplex clinicians. Significant morbidity occurs with recurrence, re-recurrence and complications such as obstructions, principally with mesh repair. When primary closure is not possible, mesh repair is indicated. While there are several non-absorbable prosthetic, absorbable biosynthetic and composite mesh types available, the ideal mesh remains elusive. In this article, we reviewed the current materials, reported advantages, and animal and clinical studies of non-absorbable prosthetic, absorbable biosynthetic and composite mesh. However, adequate comparative data are lacking, leaving a wide void for future animal models and clinical studies.

Patch repair for congenital diaphragmatic hernia: is it really a problem? J Pediatr Surg 2012; 47:637-41. [PMID: 22498374 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2011.11.054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 65] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2011] [Revised: 11/20/2011] [Accepted: 11/21/2011] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Large congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) defects often require the use of synthetic patches for tension-free repair. Although high rates of recurrence and other morbidities have been previously reported, our favorable perception of patch repair prompted this review. METHODS A single-center retrospective chart review of CDH cases repaired between January 1, 1999, and October 1, 2010. Patch repairs were performed by multiple surgeons with an effort to construct a tension-free dome-shaped patch. RESULTS One hundred eighty-four children underwent CDH repair of whom 99 (53.8%) required a patch. Seventy-four (74.7%) of the 99 patients who underwent patch repair survived to discharge and were compared with 75 primary repair survivors. Of those undergoing patch repair, 88% were prenatally diagnosed, 55% had liver herniation, and 22 (29.9%) were repaired on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Two patients experienced a recurrence after a patch repair and 3 after a primary repair for a rate of 5.4% and 4.0%, respectively (P = 1.0). CONCLUSIONS These results demonstrate that synthetic patch repair for CDH can be performed with a very low rate of recurrence challenging the need for alternative approaches to diaphragmatic replacement. High rates of recurrence reported for patch repair may be technical rather than intrinsic to the patch.

Abstract
A number of novel approaches for repair and regeneration of injured lung have developed over the past several years. These include a better understanding of endogenous stem and progenitor cells in the lung that can function in reparative capacity as well as extensive exploration of the potential efficacy of administering exogenous stem or progenitor cells to function in lung repair. Recent advances in ex vivo lung engineering have also been increasingly applied to the lung. The current status of these approaches as well as initial clinical trials of cell therapies for lung diseases are reviewed below.

Abstract
Mechanical properties are essential considerations for the design of porous scaffolds in the field of tissue engineering. To develop a well-supported hybrid dermal substitute, poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) yarns were knitted into a mesh with relative fixed loops, followed by incorporation into collagen-chitosan scaffolds (CCS) to obtain PLGA knitted mesh-reinforced CCS (PLGAm/CCS). The morphology and tensile strength in both the dry and wet state of PLGAm/CCS were investigated in vitro. To characterize the tissue response, specifically angiogenesis and tissue regeneration, PLGAm/CCS was embedded subcutaneously in Sprague-Dawley rats and compared with two control implants, i.e., PLGA mesh (PLGAm) and CCS. At weeks 1, 2, and 4 post surgery, tissue specimens were harvested for histology, immunohistochemistry, real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot analysis. These results demonstrated that the incorporation of PLGA knitted mesh into CCS can improve the mechanical strength with little influence on its mean pore size and porosity. After implantation, PLGAm/CCS can resist contraction and promote cell infiltration, neotissue formation, and blood vessel ingrowth, effectively. In conclusion, the mechanical strength of scaffolds can play a synergetic role in tissue regeneration and vascularization by maintaining its 3D microstructure. The ability of PLGAm/CCS to promote angiogenesis and induce in situ tissue formation demonstrates its strong potential in the field of skin tissue engineering.

Abstract
CONGENITAL DIAPHRAGMATIC HERNIAS (CDHS) OCCUR MAINLY IN TWO LOCATIONS: the foramen of Morgagni and the more common type involving the foramen of Bochdalek. Hiatal hernia and paraesophageal hernia have also been described as other forms of CDH. Pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary hypoplasia have been recognized as the two most important factors in the pathophysiology of congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Advances in surgical management include delayed surgical approach that enables preoperative stabilization, introduction of fetal intervention due to improved prenatal diagnosis, the introduction of minimal invasive surgery, in addition to the standard open repair, and the use of improved prosthetic devices for closure.

Abstract
Knitting is an ancient and yet, a fresh technique. It has a history of no less than 1,000 years. The development of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine provides a new role for knitting. Several meshes knitted from synthetic or biological materials have been designed and applied, either alone, to strengthen materials for the patching of soft tissues, or in combination with other kinds of biomaterials, such as collagen and fibroin, to repair or replace damaged tissues/organs. In the latter case, studies have demonstrated that knitted mesh scaffolds (KMSs) possess excellent mechanical properties and can promote more effective tissue repair, ligament/tendon/cartilage regeneration, pipe-like-organ reconstruction, etc. In the process of tissue regeneration induced by scaffolds, an important synergic relationship emerges between the three-dimensional microstructure and the mechanical properties of scaffolds. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the status and future prospects of knitted meshes and its KMSs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
The airway epithelium is constantly faced with inflammatory and potentially injurious stimuli. Following damage, rapid repair mechanisms involving proliferation and differentiation of resident progenitor and stem cell pools are necessary in order to maintain a protective barrier. In asthma, evidence pointing to a compromised ability of the epithelium to properly repair and regenerate is rapidly accumulating. The consequences of this are presently unknown but are likely to have a significant impact on lung function. Mesenchymal stem cells have the potential to serve as a universal source for replacement of specific cells in several diseases and thus offer hope as a potential therapeutic intervention for the treatment of the chronic remodeling changes that occur in the asthmatic epithelium. However, controversy exists regarding whether these cells can actually home to and engraft within the airways and contribute to tissue function or whether this mechanism is necessary, since they can have potent paracrine immunomodulatory effects. This article focuses on the current knowledge about specific stem cell populations that may contribute to airway epithelial regeneration and discusses the use of mesenchymal stem cells as a potential therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Cell-based therapies with embryonic or adult stem cells, including induced pluripotent stem cells, have emerged as potential novel approaches for several devastating and otherwise incurable lung diseases, including emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, and the acute respiratory distress syndrome. Although initial studies suggested engraftment of exogenously administered stem cells in lung, this is now generally felt to be a rare occurrence of uncertain physiologic significance. However, more recent studies have demonstrated paracrine effects of administered cells, including stimulation of angiogenesis and modulation of local inflammatory and immune responses in mouse lung disease models. Based on these studies and on safety and initial efficacy data from trials of adult stem cells in other diseases, groundbreaking clinical trials of cell-based therapy have been initiated for pulmonary hypertension and for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In parallel, the identity and role of endogenous lung progenitor cells in development and in repair from injury and potential contribution as lung cancer stem cells continue to be elucidated. Most recently, novel bioengineering approaches have been applied to develop functional lung tissue ex vivo. Advances in each of these areas will be described in this review with particular reference to animal models.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a worldwide epidemic affecting over 200 million people and accounting for more than three million deaths annually. The disease is characterized by chronic inflammation of the airways and progressive destruction of lung parenchyma, a process that in most cases is initiated by cigarette smoking. Unfortunately, there are no interventions that have been unequivocally shown to prolong survival in patients with COPD. Regeneration of lung tissue by stem cells from endogenous and exogenous sources is a promising therapeutic strategy. Herein we review the current literature on the characterization of resident stem and progenitor cell niches within the lung, the contribution of mesenchymal stem cells to lung regeneration, and advances in bioengineering of lung tissue.

Abstract
Recent findings suggest that embryonic stem cells and stem cells derived from adult tissues, including bone marrow and umbilical cord blood, could be utilized in repair and regeneration of injured or diseased lungs. This is an exciting and rapidly moving field that holds promise as a therapeutic approach for variety of lung diseases. Although initial emphasis was on engraftment of stem cells in lung, more recent studies demonstrate that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can modulate local inflammatory and immune responses in mouse lung disease models including acute lung injury and pulmonary fibrosis. Further, on the basis of initial reports of safety and efficacy following allogeneic administration of MSCs to patients with Crohn's disease or with graft-versus-host disease, a recent trial has been initiated to study the effect of MSCs in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Notably, several recent clinical trials have demonstrated potential benefit of autologous stem cell administration in patient with pulmonary hypertension. In this review, we will describe recent advances in cell therapy with the focus on MSCs and their potential roles in lung development and repair.
