Abstract
The management of bleeding is an important aspect of endoscopic surgery to avoid excessive blood loss and minimize pain. In clinical settings, sprayable hemostatic particles are used for their easy delivery, adaptability to irregular shapes, and rapid hydration. However, conventional hemostatic particles present challenges associated with tissue adhesion. In a previous study, we reported tissue adhesive microparticles (C10-sa-MPs) derived from Alaska pollock gelatin modified with decyl groups (C10-sa-ApGltn) using secondary amines as linkages. The C10-sa-MPs adhere to soft tissues through a hydration mechanism. However, their application as a hemostatic agent was limited by their long hydration times, attributed to their high hydrophobicity. In this study, we present a new type microparticle, C10-am-MPs, synthesized by incorporating decanoyl group modifications into ApGltn (C10-am-ApGltn), using amide bonds as linkages. C10-am-MPs exhibited enhanced hydration characteristics compared to C10-sa-MPs, attributed to superior water absorption facilitated by amide bonds rather than secondary amines. Furthermore, C10-am-MPs demonstrated comparable tissue adhesion properties and underwater adhesion stability to C10-sa-MPs. Notably, C10-am-MPs exhibited accelerated blood coagulation in vitro compared to C10-sa-MPs. The application of C10-am-MPs in an in vivo rat liver hemorrhage model resulted in a hemostatic effect comparable to a commercially available hemostatic particle. These findings highlight the potential utility of C10-am-MPs as an effective hemostatic agent for endoscopic procedures and surgical interventions.

Abstract
Incomplete removal of early-stage gastrointestinal cancers by endoscopic treatments often leads to recurrence induced by residual cancer cells. To completely remove or kill cancer tissues and cells and prevent recurrence, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and hyperthermia using biomaterials with drugs or nanomaterials are usually administered following endoscopic treatments. However, there are few biomaterials that can be applied using endoscopic devices to locally kill cancer tissues and cells. We previously reported that decyl group-modified Alaska pollock gelatin-based microparticles (denoted C10MPs) can adhere to gastrointestinal tissues under wet conditions through the formation of a colloidal gel driven by hydrophobic interactions. In this study, we combined C10MPs with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) to develop a sprayable heat-generating nanomaterial (denoted SP/C10MP) for local hyperthermia of gastrointestinal cancers. The rheological property, tissue adhesion strength, burst strength, and underwater stability of SP/C10MP were improved through decyl group modification and SPION addition. Moreover, SP/C10MP that adhered to gastrointestinal tissues formed a colloidal gel, which locally generated heat in response to an alternating magnetic field. SP/C10MP successfully killed cancer tissues and cells in colon cancer-bearing mouse models in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, SP/C10MP has the potential to locally kill residual cancer tissues and cells after endoscopic treatments.

[PMID: 37845540 PMCID: PMC10579401 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-44967-x] [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: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/18/2023] Open
Abstract
The link between aerosol dynamics and viral exposure risk is not fully understood, particularly during movement and face-to-face interactions. To investigate this, we employed Particle Trace Velocimetry with a laser sheet and a high-speed camera to measure microparticles from a human mannequin's mouth. The average peak time in the non-ventilated condition (expiratory volume, 30 L; passing speed, 5 km/h) was 1.33 s (standard deviation = 0.32 s), while that in the ventilated condition was 1.38 s (standard deviation = 0.35 s). Our results showed that the peak of viral exposure risk was within 5 s during face-to-face encounters under both ventilated and non-ventilated conditions. Moreover, the risk of viral exposure greatly decreased in ventilated conditions compared to non-ventilated conditions. Based on these findings, considering a risk mitigation strategy for the duration of 5 s during face-to-face encounters is expected to significantly reduce the risk of virus exposure in airborne transmission.
