Abstract
Otolaryngology is an important specialty in the field of surgery that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of the ear, nose, throat, trachea, as well as related anatomical structures. Various otolaryngological disorders are difficult to treat using established pharmacological and surgical approaches. The advent of molecular and cellular therapies led to further progress in this respect. This article reviews the therapeutic strategies of using stem cells, immune cells, and chondrocytes in otorhinolaryngology. As the most widely recognized cell derivatives, exosomes were also systematically reviewed for their therapeutic potential in head and neck cancer, otitis media, and allergic rhinitis. Finally, we summarize the limitations of stem cells, chondrocytes, and exosomes, as well as possible solutions, and provide an outlook on the future direction of cell- and derivative-based therapies in otorhinolaryngology, to offer a theoretical foundation for the clinical translation of this therapeutic modality.

Abstract
Severe burns often result in an exacerbated inflammatory response, which can contribute to further injury. This inflammatory response may lead to an increased risk of infection, multiple organ failure, and death. This study aimed to investigate the potential of reducing inflammation to enhance burn wound healing in rats using ovine's small intestinal submucosa as a carrier for Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) and Mineral Pitch (MP). A rat burn model was developed, and the animals were divided into four groups: control group: burn, placebo group: scaffold-treated burn, cell experimental group: WJ-MSCs seeded scaffold-treated burn, and cell and MP experimental group: scaffolds loaded with WJ-MSCs and MP-treated burn. After treating the wounds in the relevant groups and sampling them on days 5, 14 and 21, histological and pathological parameters, and the expression of genes involved in angiogenesis and epithelialization were evaluated. The study results revealed several findings in the burn wounds. These included changes in mast cell populations, a decrease in inflammatory neutrophils and lymphocytes, an increase in fibroblasts and blood vessels, and upregulation of angiogenesis and epithelialization genes. These changes collectively contributed to enhanced wound healing in cell and MP experimental group compared to the other groups. The findings suggest that scaffolds loaded with Wharton's jelly-derived stem cells and MP can serve as engineered tools to modulate inflammatory conditions during the burn wound healing process. These interventions can improve burn wound management and promote better outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is growing interest to application of regenerative medicine approaches in otorhinolaryngological practice, especially in the framework of the therapy of vocal fold (VF) scar lesions. The used conservative and surgical methods, despite the achieved positive outcomes, are frequently unpredictable and do not result in the restoration of the VF's lamina propria's structure, which provides the mechanical properties necessary for vibration. In this connection, the aim of this study was to ascertain the safety and efficacy of a bioequivalent in the treatment of VF scars using a rabbit model of chronic damage. METHODS The bioequivalent consisted of a hydrogel system based on a PEG-fibrin conjugate and human bone marrow-derived MSC. It was characterized and implanted heterotopically into rats and orthotopically into rabbits after VF scar excision. RESULTS We showed that the fabricated bioequivalent consisted of viable cells retaining their metabolic and proliferative activity. While being implanted heterotopically, it had induced the low inflammatory reaction in 7 days and was well tolerated. The orthotopic implantation showed that the gel application was characterized by a lower hemorrhage intensity (p = 0.03945). The intensity of stridor and respiratory rate between the groups in total and between separate groups had no statistically significant difference (p = 0.96 and p = 1; p = 0.9593 and p = 0.97…1, respectively). In 3 days post-implantation, MSC were detected only in the tissues closely surrounding the VF defect. The bioequivalent injection caused that the scar collagen fibers were packed looser and more frequently mutually parallel that is inherent in the native tissue (p = 0.018). In all experimental groups, the fibrous tissue's ingrowth in the adjacent exterior muscle tissue was observed; however, in Group 4 (PEG-Fibrin + MSC), it was much less pronounced than it was in Group 1 (normal saline) (p = 0.008). The difference between the thicknesses of the lamina propria in the control group and in Group 4 was not revealed to be statistically significant (p = 0.995). The Young's modulus of the VF after the bioequivalent implantation (1.15 ± 0.25 kPa) did not statistically significantly differ from the intact VF modulus (1.17 ± 0.45 kPa); therefore, the tissue properties in this group more closely resembled the intact VF. CONCLUSIONS The developed bioequivalent showed to be biocompatible and highly efficient in the restoration of VF's tissue.

Abstract
Staplers are widely used in clinics; however, complications such as bleeding and leakage remain a challenge for surgeons. To tackle this issue, buttress materials are recommended to reinforce the staple line. This Review provides a systematic summary of the characteristics and applications of the buttress materials. First, the physical and chemical properties of synthetic polymer materials and extracellular matrix used for the buttress materials are introduced, as well as their pros and cons in clinical applications. Second, we review the clinical effects of reinforcement mesh in pneumonectomy, sleeve gastrectomy, pancreatectomy, and colorectal resection. Based on the analysis of numerous research data, we believe that buttress materials play a crucial role in increasing staple line strength and reducing the probability of complications, such as bleeding and leakage. However, considering the requirements of bioactivity, degradability, and biosafety, non-crosslinked small intestinal submucosa (SIS) matrix material is the preferred candidate. It has high research and application value, but further studies are required to confirm this. The aim of this Review is to provide comprehensive guidance on the selection of materials for staple line reinforcement.

ADVANCED NANOBIOMED RESEARCH 2023; 3:2200095.

Abstract
Decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) is a promising material for tissue engineering applications. Tissue-specific dECM is often seen as a favorable material that recapitulates a native-like microenvironment for cellular remodeling. However, the minute quantity of dECM derivable from small organs like the vocal fold (VF) hampers manufacturing scalability. Small intestinal submucosa (SIS), a commercial product with proven regenerative capacity, may be a viable option for VF applications. This study aims to compare dECM hydrogels derived from SIS or VF tissue with respect to protein content and functionality using mass spectrometry-based proteomics and in vitro studies. Proteomic analysis reveals that VF and SIS dECM share 75% of core matrisome proteins. Although VF dECM proteins have greater overlap with native VF, SIS dECM shows less cross-sample variability. Following decellularization, significant reductions of soluble collagen (61%), elastin (81%), and hyaluronan (44%) are noted in VF dECM. SIS dECM contains comparable elastin and hyaluronan but 67% greater soluble collagen than VF dECM. Cells deposit more neo-collagen on SIS than VF-dECM hydrogels, whereas neo-elastin (~50 μg/scaffold) and neo-hyaluronan (~ 6 μg/scaffold) are comparable between the two hydrogels. Overall, SIS dECM possesses reasonably similar proteomic profile and regenerative capacity to VF dECM. SIS dECM is considered a promising alternative for dECM-derived biomaterials for VF regeneration.

Abstract
Objectives Vocal fold (VF) scarring, manifested by increased collagen, decreased glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), and disrupted elastic fibers, remains a negative consequence of VF injury or resection. The objective of this study is to compare four reconstructive options after Vf mucosal resection in rabbits. A Cell-Based Outer Vocal fold Replacement (COVR) using human adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hASCs) in fibrin scaffold is directly compared with a decellularized scaffold implant, hASC injection, and resection alone without reconstruction. The primary hypothesis is that the cells-in-scaffold construct better reconstitutes the VF structure than either cells or scaffold alone, or than healing by secondary intention. Methods A total of49 rabbits received bilateral VF cordectomy, followed by either COVR implant, decellularized scaffold implant, hASC injection, or no reconstruction (injured control group). Larynges were harvested after 6 weeks. Results Histology demonstrated greater lamina propria thickness, less collagen deposition, and more GAGs in COVR animals versus all other treatment groups. Evidence of persistent human cells was found in about half of the cell-treated animals. RNA levels of fibrosis pathway and macrophage phenotype markers were statistically unchanged among treatment groups at 6 weeks. Conclusion These data support the efficacy of COVR implantation in restoring VF microstructure in rabbits. The intact COVR was required; isolated components of decellularized scaffold or injected hASC still produced histologic scarring. We propose that the unique bilayered cell structure within fibrin enables controlled matrix remodeling to minimize wound contraction and fibrosis, and to promote GAG deposition. Level of Evidence Basic science study.

Abstract
This review aims at becoming a guide which will help to plan the experimental design and to choose adequate methods to assess the outcomes when testing cell-based products in the treatment of the damaged vocal folds. The requirements to preclinical trials of cell-based products remain rather hazy and dictated by the country regulations. Most parameters like the way the cells are administered, selection of the cell source, selection of a carrier, and design of in vivo studies are decided upon by each research team and may differ essentially between studies. The review covers the methodological aspects of preclinical studies such as experimental models, characterization of cell products, assessment of the study outcome using molecular, morphological and immunohistochemical analyses, as well as measuring the tissue physical properties. The unified recommendations to perform preclinical trials could significantly facilitate the translation of cell-based products into the clinical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Diabetic wound healing remains a global challenge in the clinic and in research. However, the current medical dressings are difficult to meet the demands. The primary goal of this study was to fabricate a functional hydrogel wound dressing that can provide an appropriate microenvironment and supplementation with growth factors to promote skin regeneration and functional restoration in diabetic wounds. MATERIALS AND METHODS Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) were bound to the porcine small intestinal submucosa-based hydrogel material through peptides (SC-Ps-sEVs) to increase the content and achieve a sustained release. NIH3T3 cell was used to evaluate the biocompatibility and the promoting proliferation, migration and adhesion abilities of the SC-Ps-sEVs. EA.hy926 cell was used to evaluate the stimulating angiogenesis of SC-Ps-sEVs. The diabetic wound model was used to investigate the function/role of SC-Ps-sEVs hydrogel in promoting wound healing. RESULTS A functional hydrogel wound dressing with good mechanical properties, excellent biocompatibility and superior stimulating angiogenesis capacity was designed and facilely fabricated, which could effectively enable full-thickness skin wounds healing in diabetic rat model. CONCLUSIONS This work led to the development of SIS, which shows an unprecedented combination of mechanical, biological and wound healing properties. This functional hydrogel wound dressing may find broad utility in the field of regenerative medicine and may be similarly useful in the treatment of wounds in epithelial tissues, such as the intestine, lung and liver.

Abstract
Objective To gain insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying the early stages of vocal fold extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling after a mid-membranous injury resulting from the use of human amniotic epithelial cells (hAEC), as a novel regenerative medicine cell-based therapy. Methods Vocal folds of six female, New Zealand White rabbits were bilaterally injured. Three rabbits had immediate bilateral direct injection of 1 × 106 hAEC in 100 µl of saline solution (hAEC) and three with 100 µl of saline solution (controls, CTR). Rabbits were euthanized 6 weeks after injury. Proteomic analyses (in-gel trypsin protein digestion, LC–MS/MS, protein identification using Proteome Discoverer and the Uniprot Oryctolagus cuniculus (Rabbit) proteome) and histological analyses were performed. Results hAEC treatment significantly increased the expression of ECM proteins, elastin microfibril interface-located protein 1 (EMILIN-1) and myocilin that are primarily involved in elastogenesis of blood vessels and granulation tissue. A reactome pathway analysis showed increased activity of the anchoring fibril formation by collagen I and laminin, providing mechanical stability and activation of cell signaling pathways regulating cell function. hAEC increased the abundance of keratin 1 indicating accelerated induction of the differentiation programming of the basal epithelial cells and, thereby, improved barrier function. Lastly, upregulation of Rab GDP dissociation inhibitor indicates that hAEC activate the vesicle endocytic and exocytic pathways, supporting the exosome-mediated activation of cell–matrix and cell-to-cell interactions. Conclusions This pilot study suggests that injection of hAEC into an injured rabbit vocal fold favorably alters ECM composition creating a microenvironment that accelerates differentiation of regenerated epithelium and promotes stabilization of new blood vessels indicative of accelerated and improved repair.

Ma S, Wu J, Hu H, Mu Y, Zhang L, Zhao Y, Bian X, Jing W, Wei P, Zhao B, Deng J, Liu Z. Novel fusion peptides deliver exosomes to modify injectable thermo-sensitive hydrogels for bone regeneration. Mater Today Bio 2022; 13:100195. [PMID: 35024598 PMCID: PMC8724941 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2021.100195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2021] [Revised: 12/23/2021] [Accepted: 12/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Injectable thermo-sensitive hydrogels composed of small intestinal submucosa (SIS) with exosomes derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are desired for bone regeneration. However, poor mechanical properties limit the clinical application of SIS hydrogels. Herein, the mechanical properties of SIS hydrogels incorporated with 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) propionic acid (CA) are assessed. The results show that the mechanical properties of SIS hydrogels are improved. In addition, the retention and stability of exosomes over time at the defect site are also challenges. Fusion peptides are designed by connecting collagen-binding domines (CBDs) of collagen type I/III with exosomal capture peptides CP05 (CRHSQMTVTSRL) directly or via rigid linkers (EAAAK). In vitro experiments demonstrate that fusion peptides are contribute to promoting the positive effect of exosomes on osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Meanwhile, the results of hydrogels combining exosomes and fusion peptides in the treatment of rat skull defect models reveal that fusion peptides could enhance the retention and stability of exosomes, thereby strengthen the therapeutic effect for skull defects. Therefore, SIS hydrogels with CA modified by fusion peptides and exosomes appear to be a promising strategy in bone regenerative medicine.

Effects of hypoxia on Achilles tendon repair using adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells seeded small intestinal submucosa. J Orthop Surg Res 2021; 16:570. [PMID: 34579755 PMCID: PMC8474963 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-021-02713-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2021] [Accepted: 09/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The study was performed to evaluate the feasibility of utilizing small intestinal submucosa (SIS) scaffolds seeded with adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) for engineered tendon repairing rat Achilles tendon defects and to compare the effects of preconditioning treatments (hypoxic vs. normoxic) on the tendon healing. METHODS Fifty SD rats were randomized into five groups. Group A received sham operation (blank control). In other groups, the Achilles tendon was resected and filled with the original tendon (Group B, autograft), cell-free SIS (Group C), or SIS seeded with ADMSCs preconditioned under normoxic conditions (Group D) or hypoxic conditions (Group E). Samples were collected 4 weeks after operation and analyzed by histology, immunohistochemistry, and tensile testing. RESULTS Histologically, compared with Groups C and D, Group E showed a significant improvement in extracellular matrix production and a higher compactness of collagen fibers. Group E also exhibited a significantly higher peak tensile load than Groups D and C. Additionally, Group D had a significantly higher peak load than Group C. Immunohistochemically, Group E exhibited a significantly higher percentage of MKX + cells than Group D. The proportion of ADMSCs simultaneously positive for both MKX and CM-Dil observed from Group E was also greater than that in Group D. CONCLUSIONS In this animal model, the engineered tendon grafts created by seeding ADMSCs on SIS were superior to cell-free SIS. The hypoxic precondition further improved the expression of tendon-related genes in the seeded cells and increased the rupture load after grafting in the Achilles tendon defects.

Abstract
Otorhinolaryngology enrolls head and neck surgery in various tissues such as ear, nose, and throat (ENT) that govern different activities such as hearing, breathing, smelling, production of vocal sounds, the balance, deglutition, facial animation, air filtration and humidification, and articulation during speech, while absence of these functions can lead to high morbidity and even mortality. Conventional therapies for head and neck damaged tissues include grafts, transplants, and artificial materials, but grafts have limited availability and cause morbidity in the donor site. To improve these limitations, regenerative medicine, as a novel and rapidly growing field, has opened a new therapeutic window in otorhinolaryngology by using cell transplantation to target the healing and replacement of injured tissues. There is a high risk of rejection and tumor formation for transplantation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs); mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) lack these drawbacks. They have easy expansion and antiapoptotic properties with a wide range of healing and aesthetic functions that make them a novel candidate in otorhinolaryngology for craniofacial defects and diseases and hold immense promise for bone tissue healing; even the tissue sources and types of MSCs, the method of cell introduction and their preparation quality can influence the final outcome in the injured tissue. In this review, we demonstrated the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties of MSCs, from different sources, to be safely used for cell-based therapies in otorhinolaryngology, while their achievements and challenges have been described too.

Abstract
The field of regenerative medicine utilizes a wide array of technologies and techniques for repairing and restoring function to damaged tissues. Among these, stem cells offer one of the most potent and promising biological tools to facilitate such goals. Implementation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) offer varying advantages based on availability and efficacy in the target tissue. The focus of this review is to discuss characteristics of these three subset stem cell populations and examine their utility in tissue engineering. In particular, the development of therapeutics that utilize cell-based approaches, divided by germinal layer to further assess research targeting specific tissues of the mesoderm, ectoderm, and endoderm. The combinatorial application of MSCs, iPSCs, and ESCs with natural and synthetic scaffold technologies can enhance the reparative capacity and survival of implanted cells. Continued efforts to generate more standardized approaches for these cells may provide improved study-to-study variations on implementation, thereby increasing the clinical translatability of cell-based therapeutics. Coupling clinically translatable research with commercially oriented methods offers the potential to drastically advance medical treatments for multiple diseases and injuries, improving the quality of life for many individuals.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS In animal studies of vocal fold scarring and treatment, imaging-based evaluation is most often conducted by tissue slicing and histological staining. Given variation in anatomy, injury type, severity, and sacrifice timepoints, planar histological sections provide limited spatiotemporal details of tissue repair. Three-dimensional (3D) virtual histology may provide additional contextual spatial information, enhancing objective interpretation. The study's aim was to evaluate the suitability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), microscale computed tomography (CT), and nonlinear laser-scanning microscopy (NM) as virtual histology approaches for rabbit studies of vocal fold scarring. METHODS A unilateral injury was created using microcup forceps in the left vocal fold of three New Zealand White rabbits. Animals were sacrificed at 3, 10, and 39 days postinjury. ex vivo imaging of excised larynges was performed with MRI, CT, and NM modalities. RESULTS The MRI modality allowed visualization of injury location and morphological internal features with 100-μm spatial resolution. The CT modality provided a view of the injury defect surface with 12-μm spatial resolution. The NM modality with optical clearing resolved second-harmonic generation signal of collagen fibers and two-photon autofluorescence in vocal fold lamina propria, muscle, and surrounding cartilage structures at submicrometer spatial scales. CONCLUSIONS Features of vocal fold injury and wound healing were observed with MRI, CT, and NM. The MRI and CT modalities provided contextual spatial information and dissection guidance, whereas NM resolved extracellular matrix structure. The results serve as a proof of concept to motivate incorporation of 3D virtual histology techniques in future vocal fold injury animal studies.

Abstract
With the development of tissue engineering, the required biomaterials need to have the ability to promote cell adhesion and proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Especially, surface modification of the scaffold material has a great influence on biocompatibility and functionality of materials. The small intestine submucosa (SIS) is an extracellular matrix isolated from the submucosal layer of porcine jejunum, which has good tissue mechanical properties and regenerative activity, and is suitable for cell adhesion, proliferation and differentiation. In recent years, SIS is widely used in different areas of tissue reconstruction, such as blood vessels, bone, cartilage, bladder and ureter, etc. This paper discusses the main methods for surface modification of SIS to improve and optimize the performance of SIS bioscaffolds, including functional group bonding, protein adsorption, mineral coating, topography and formatting modification and drug combination. In addition, the reasonable combination of these methods also offers great improvement on SIS surface modification. This article makes a shallow review of the surface modification of SIS and its application in tissue engineering.

Abstract
Gel-based injectable biomaterials have significant potential for treating vocal fold defects such as scarring. An ideal injectable for vocal fold lamina propria restoration should mimic the microenvironment of the lamina propria to induce scarless wound healing and functional tissue regeneration. Most current synthetic or natural injectable biomaterials do not possess the same level of complex, tissue-specific constituents as the natural vocal fold lamina propria. In this study we present a newly-developed injectable gel fabricated from decellularized bovine vocal fold lamina propria. Blyscan assay and mass spectrometry indicated that the vocal fold-specific gel contained a large amount of sulfated glycosaminoglycans and over 250 proteins. Gene Ontology overrepresentation analysis revealed that the proteins in the gel dominantly promote antifibrotic biological process. In vivo study using a rabbit vocal fold injury model showed that the injectable gel significantly reduced collagen density and decreased tissue contraction of the lamina propria in vocal folds with chronic scarring. Furthermore, this acellular gel only elicited minimal humoral immune response after injection. Our findings suggested that the tissue-specific, injectable extracellular matrix gel could be a promising biomaterial for treating vocal fold scarring, even after the formation of mature scar. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Vocal fold lamina propria scarring remains among the foremost therapeutic challenges in the management of patients with voice disorders. Surgical excision of scar may cause secondary scarring and yield inconsistent results. The present study reports an extracellular matrix-derived biomaterial that demonstrated antifibrotic effect on chronic scarring in vocal fold lamina propria. Its injectability minimizes the invasiveness of the delivery procedure and the degree of mucosal violation. In this work we also describe a new methodology which can more accurately identify proteins from the complex mixture of an acellular extracellular matrix gel by excluding interfering peptides produced during the enzymatic digestion in gel fabrication.

Abstract
Injection laryngoplasty is a widely used therapeutic option for drug delivery into vocal folds (VFs). Efficient injectable materials are urgently needed for treating intractable VF disease. Liquid-type non-thermal atmospheric plasma (LTP) has been found to be useful for various biological applications, including in regenerative medicine. We evaluated the effects of LTP on VF regeneration. Migration and matrix metalloproteinase-2 expression of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated human vocal fold-derived mesenchymal stem cells (VF-MSCs) were enhanced by LTP treatment. LTP treatment not only ameliorated nuclear factor-κB and interleukin-6 activation, induced by LPS treatment, but also the increased manifestation of α-smooth muscle actin and fibronectin, induced by transforming growth factor-ß. In a rabbit VF scarring animal model, histological analyses showed increased hyaluronic acid deposition and decreased collagen accumulation after LTP injection. Videokymographic analysis showed more improved vibrations in LTP-treated VF mucosa compared to those in non-treated group. In conclusion, LTP treatment enhanced the recruitment and activation of VF-MSCs. Regulated extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis and eventual functional improvement of scarred VFs were observed upon LTP treatment. The results of this study suggest that LTP injection can enhance wound healing and improve functional remodeling following VF injury. Impact statement Voice disorder has a significant impact on life quality, and one of the major causes of this voice disorder is vocal fold scarring. Therefore, various approaches have been tried to treat for voice disorder. However, no method has satisfied all requirements until now. Plasma medicine, which involves the medical application of plasma, is a rapidly developing field. We have confirmed that liquid-type plasma improved vocal fold scarring by mobilizing and activating vocal fold fibroblast. In conclusion, liquid-type plasma is a potential therapeutic agent for promoting vocal fold scarring through simple injection and it may be an alternative therapeutic agent for the current situation to treat voice disorder.

Collagen fibrillar structures in vocal fold scarring and repair using stem cell therapy: a detailed histological, immunohistochemical and atomic force microscopy study. J Microsc 2019; 274:55-68. [PMID: 30740689 DOI: 10.1111/jmi.12784] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2018] [Revised: 01/15/2019] [Accepted: 01/24/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Regenerative medicine opens new opportunities in the repair of cicatricial lesions of the vocal folds. Here, we present a thorough morphological study, with the focus on the collagen structures in the mucosa of the vocal folds, dedicated to the effects of stem cells on the vocal folds repair after cicatricial lesions. We used a conventional experimental model of a mature scar of the rabbit vocal folds, which was surgically excised with a simultaneous implantation of autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) into the defect. The restoration of the vocal folds was studied 3 months postimplantation of stem cells and 6 months after the first surgery. The collagen structure assessment included histology, immunohistochemistry and atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies. According to the data of optical microscopy and AFM, as well as to immunohistochemical analysis, MSC implantation into the vocal fold defect leads not only to the general reduction of scarring, normal ratio of collagens type I and type III, but also to a more complete restoration of architecture and ultrastructure of collagen fibres in the mucosa, as compared to the control. The collagen structures in the scar tissue in the vocal folds with implanted MSC are more similar to those in the normal mucosa of the vocal folds than to those of the untreated scars. AFM has proven to be an instrumental technique in the assessment of the ultrastructure restoration in such studies. LAY DESCRIPTION: Regenerative medicine opens new opportunities in the repair of the vocal fold scars. Because collagen is a main component in the vocal fold mucosa responsible for the scar formation and repair, we focus on the collagen structures in the mucosa of the vocal folds, using a thorough morphological study based on histology and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Atomic force microscopy is a scanning microscopic technique which allows revealing the internal structure of a tissue with a resolution up to nanometres. We used a conventional experimental model of a mature scar of the rabbit vocal folds, surgically excised and treated with a mesenchymal stem cells transplant. Our morphological study, primarily AFM, explicitly shows that the collagen structures in the scarred vocal folds almost completely restore after the stem cell treatment. Thus, the modern microscopic methods, and especially AFM are instrumental tools for monitoring the repair of the vocal folds scars.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigated the ability of hypoxia-induced 25-fold concentrated conditioned media (hCM) from human nasal inferior turbinate-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hTMSC) to repair injured vocal folds during the early phase of the wound-healing process. METHODS The vocal fold was injured in Sprague-Dawley rats. Next, hCM from hTMSC (the hCM group) or hTMSC (the hTMSC group) were injected into the injured vocal folds. As a control, saline (the phosphate-buffered saline group) or 25-fold concentrated media (the media group) was injected in the same manner. The vocal folds were harvested for quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) at 1 week and 2 weeks after injury. Histologic evaluation was performed at 3 weeks postinjury. RESULTS In the hCM group at 1 week after injury, PCR showed that the genes encoding hyaluronan synthase (HAS), HAS 1, and HAS 2 were significantly upregulated compared to the media and normal groups. The gene encoding procollagen III was significantly downregulated compared to the media group. Nearly identical results were obtained for the hTMSC group at 1 week after injury. Histological examination showed that the hCM group was similar to or better than the hTMSC group in collagen deposition and hyaluronic acid production. CONCLUSION The injection of hCM into injured vocal folds produced antifibrotic effects in the early phase of wound healing. These effects were equivalent to those produced by the injection of hTMSC. These results provide a foundation for the future clinical use of hCM for vocal fold regeneration. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE NA Laryngoscope, 129:1867-1875, 2019.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Reconstruction of respiratory epithelium is critical for the fabrication of bioengineered airway implants. Epithelial differentiation is typically achieved using bovine pituitary extract (BPE). Due to the xenogenic nature and undefined composition of BPE, an alternative for human clinical applications, devoid of BPE, must be developed. The goal of this study was to develop two different BPE-free media, with and without select pituitary hormone (PH), which could initiate epithelial differentiation for use in human implantation. METHODS The ability of the two BPE-free media to initiate epithelial differentiation of adherent, non-expanded stromal-vascular cells grown on porcine small intestinal submucosa was compared to traditional BPE-containing media (M1). Nanostring® was used to measure differences in gene expression of stemness (MSC), basal cell (basal), and ciliated markers (muco-cil), and staining was performed support the gene data. RESULTS Compared to baseline, both BPE-free media upregulated epithelial and stemness genes, however this was to a lower degree than BPE-containing media. In general, the expression of basal cell markers (COL17A1, DSG3, ITGA6, KRT6A, LOXL2) and secreted mucous proteins (PLUNC, MUC5B, SCGB2A1) was upregulated. The gene expression of ciliated markers C9orf24, TUBA3 and DNCL2B but not of the key transcription factor for cilagenesis FOXJ1 were upregulated, indicating that mucus-secreting cell differentiation occurs more rapidly than ciliogenesis. The ability of the adherent stromal vascular cells to upregulate gene expression of both epithelial and stemness markers suggests maintenance of the self-renewal capacity of undifferentiated and/or basal cell-like cells contributing to proliferation and ensuring a persisting source of cells for regenerative medicine applications. CONCLUSION This study provides the initial step to defining a BPE-free epithelial differentiation medium for clinical translation. Thus, either of the proposed BPE-free medium are viable alternatives to BPE-containing medium for partial epithelial differentiation for human translational applications.

Abstract
In recent years, clinical applications have been proposed for various hydrogel products. Hydrogels can be derived from animal tissues, plant extracts and/or adipose tissue extracellular matrices; each type of hydrogel presents significantly different functional properties and may be used for many different applications, including medical therapies, environmental pollution treatments, and industrial materials. Due to complicated preparation techniques and the complexities associated with the selection of suitable materials, the applications of many host-guest supramolecular polymeric hydrogels are limited. Thus, improvements in the design and construction of smart materials are highly desirable in order to increase the lifetimes of functional materials. Here, we summarize different functional hydrogels and their varied preparation methods and source materials. The multifunctional properties of hydrogels, particularly their unique ability to adapt to certain environmental stimuli, are chiefly based on the incorporation of smart materials. Smart materials may be temperature sensitive, pH sensitive, pH/temperature dual sensitive, photoresponsive or salt responsive and may be used for hydrogel wound repair, hydrogel bone repair, hydrogel drug delivery, cancer therapy, and so on. This review focuses on the recent development of smart hydrogels for tissue engineering applications and describes some of the latest advances in using smart materials to create hydrogels for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM) has been widely used for tissue engineering applications and is becoming increasingly versatile as it can take many forms, including patches, powders, and hydrogels. Following additional processing, decellularized ECM can form an inducible hydrogel that can be injected, providing for new minimally-invasive procedure opportunities. ECM hydrogels have been derived from numerous tissue sources and applied to treat many disease models, such as ischemic injuries and organ regeneration or replacement. This review will focus on in vivo applications of ECM hydrogels and functional outcomes in disease models, as well as discuss considerations for clinical translation. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogel therapies are being developed to treat diseased or damaged tissues and organs throughout the body. Many ECM hydrogels are progressing from in vitro models to in vivo biocompatibility studies and functional models. There is significant potential for clinical translation of these therapies since one ECM hydrogel therapy is already in a Phase 1 clinical trial.

Abstract
In developing countries, wounds are a major health concern and pose a significant problem. Hence, the development of new materials that can act as scaffolds for in situ tissue regeneration and regrowth is necessary. In this report, we present a new class of injectable oleogel and composite gel derived from glycolipids that provide reversible interlinked 3D fiberous network architecture for effective wound closure by tissue regrowth and regeneration. Glycolipids were derived from α-chloralose and various vinyl esters using Novozyme 435, an immobilized lipase B from Candida antarctica as a catalyst, in good yield. These glycolipids undergo spontaneous self-assembly in paraffin oil to form an oleogel, in which curcumin was successfully incorporated to generate a composite gel. Morphological analysis of the oleogel and composite gel clearly revealed the formation of a 3D fiberous network. Rheological investigation revealed the thermal and mechanical processability of the oleogel and composite gel under various experimental conditions. Interestingly, the developed injectable oleogel and composite gel are able to accelerate the wound healing process by regulating the overlapping phases of inflammation, cell proliferation and extracellular matrix remodelling. Since chloralose displays anesthetic properties, this study will establish a new strategy to develop anesthetic wound healing oleogels in the future. In this report, we present a new class of injectable oleogels and a composite gel derived from glycolipids that provide a reversible interlinked 3D fiberous network architecture for effective wound closure by tissue regrowth and regeneration.![]()

Abstract
The regenerative repair of deep-degree (second degree) burned skin remains a notable challenge in the treatment of burn injury, despite improvements being made with regards to treatment modality and the emergence of novel therapies. Fetal skin constitutes an attractive target for investigating scarless healing of burned skin. To investigate the inflammatory response during scarless healing of burned fetal skin, the present study developed a nude mouse model, which was implanted with normal human fetal skin and burned fetal skin. Subsequently, human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were used to treat the nude mouse model carrying the burned fetal skin. The expression levels of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP)-1 were investigated during this process. In the present study, fetal skin was subcutaneously implanted into the nude mice to establish the murine model. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was used to detect alterations in the skin during the development of fetal skin and during the healing process of deep-degree burned fetal skin. The expression levels of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 were determined using immunochemical staining, and their staining intensity was evaluated by mean optical density. The results demonstrated that fetal skin subcutaneously implanted into the dorsal skin flap of nude mice developed similarly to the normal growth process in the womb. In addition, the scarless healing process was clearly observed in the mice carrying the burned fetal skin. A total of 2 weeks was required to complete scarless healing. Following treatment with PBMCs, the burned fetal skin generated inflammatory factors and enhanced the inflammatory response, which consequently resulted in a reduction in the speed of healing and in the formation of scars. Therefore, exogenous PBMCs may alter the lowered immune response environment, which is required for scarless healing, resulting in scar formation. In conclusion, the present study indicated that the involvement of inflammatory cells is important during the healing process of deep-degree burned skin, and MMP-9 and TIMP-1 may serve important roles in the process of scar formation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are a promising agent for treating impaired wound healing, and their therapeutic potential may be enhanced by employing extracellular matrix scaffolds as cell culture scaffolds or transplant cell carriers. Here, we evaluated the effect of human umbilical cord blood-derived (hUCB)-MSCs and a porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS)-derived extracellular matrix scaffold in a combined radiation-wound mouse model of impaired wound healing. METHODS hUCB-MSCs and SIS hydrogel composite was applied to the excisional wound of whole-body irradiated mice. Assessment of wound closing and histological evaluation were performed in vivo. We also cultured hUCB-MSCs on SIS gel and examined the angiogenic effect of conditioned medium on irradiated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro. RESULTS hUCB-MSCs and SIS hydrogel composite treatment enhanced wound healing and angiogenesis in the wound site of mice. Conditioned medium from hUCB-MSCs cultured on SIS hydrogel promoted the chemotaxis of irradiated HUVECs more than their proliferation. The secretion of angiogenic growth factors hepatocyte growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor-A and angiopoietin-1 from hUCB-MSCs was significantly increased by SIS hydrogel, with HGF being the predominant angiogenic factor of irradiated HUVECs. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that the wound healing effect of hUCB-MSCs is enhanced by SIS hydrogel via a paracrine factor-mediated recruitment of vascular endothelial cells in a combined radiation-wound mouse model.

MATERIALS & METHODS Morphology of scaffolds was scanned by scanning electron microscope. Cell adhesion, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs on ECM-small intestinal submucosa (SIS) were evaluated by immunofluorescences staining, cell counting kit-8 and real-time qPCR, respectively. A mouse calvarial defect model was used to assess effects on bone regeneration in vivo. RESULTS Abundant ECM was coated on SIS, which facilitated cell adhesion and proliferation of ADSCs. ECM-SIS induced osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs even without osteogenic inductive factors. Bone regeneration in vivo was enhanced by ECM-SIS + ADSCs via BMP/SMAD pathway. CONCLUSION This work suggested a biofabricated SIS scaffold coated with osteogenic ECM-facilitated bone regeneration with ADSCs synergistically.

Abstract
Vocal fold microstructure is complex and can be affected by laryngeal microsurgery, inducing scarring that prevents mechanical uncoupling of epithelium and muscle, leading to vibration disorder and disabling dysphonia. Treatment options presently are few, and often without efficacy for vibration, having only an impact on volume to reduce glottal closure defect. The present review of the literature had two aims: (i) to report the current state of the literature on cell therapy in vocal fold scarring; and (ii) to analyze the therapeutic interest of the adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction in the existing therapeutic armamentarium. A PubMed® search conducted in September 2016 retrieved English or French-language original articles on the use of stem cells to treat vocal fold scarring. Twenty-seven articles published between 2003 and 2016 met the study selection criteria. Mesenchymal stem cells were most widely used, mainly derived from bone marrow or adipose tissue. Four studies were performed in vitro on fibroblasts, and 18 in vivo on animals. End-points comprised: (i) scar analysis (macro- and micro-scopic morphology, viscoelastic properties, extracellular matrix, fibroblasts); and (ii) assessment of stem cell survival and differentiation. The studies testified to the benefit of mesenchymal stem cells, and especially those of adipose derivation. The stromal vascular fraction exhibits properties that might improve results by facilitating production logistics.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to introduce the use of a delivery carrier for local transplantation of human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AdMSCs) into the salivary gland (SG) and analyse its ability to enhance radioprotection of AdMSCs against irradiation (IR)-induced damage. An injectable porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) matrix was used as a cell delivery carrier, and human AdMSCs were contained within SIS hydrogel (AdMSC/SIS). After local injection into SGs of mice following local IR, morphological and functional changes were evaluated in the sham, vehicle [phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)], SIS, AdMSC and AdMSC/SIS groups. Local transplantation of AdMSC resulted in less fibrosis, regardless of the use of a carrier, but the AdMSC/SIS group showed more mucin-producing acini relative to those in the PBS group. Functional restoration of salivation capacity and salivary protein synthesis was achieved in AdMSC and AdMSC/SIS groups, with a greater tendency being observed in the AdMSC/SIS group. AdMSC treatment resulted in tissue remodelling with a greater number of salivary epithelial cells (AQP-5), SG progenitor cells (c-Kit), endothelial cells (CD31) and myoepithelial cells (α-SMA), among which endothelial and myoepithelial cells significantly increased in the AdMSC/SIS group relative to the AdMSC group. AdMSC treatment alleviated IR-induced cell death, and the anti-apoptotic and anti-oxidative effects of AdMSC were enhanced in the AdMSC/SIS group relative to the AdMSC group. These results suggest local transplantation of AdMSC improves tissue remodelling following radiation damage in SG tissue, and that use of a carrier enhances the protective effects of AdMSC-mediated cellular protection against IR via paracrine secretion.

Abstract
In the oral cavity, the tongue is the anatomic subsite most commonly involved by invasive squamous cell carcinoma. Current treatment protocols often require significant tissue resection to achieve adequate negative margins and optimal local tumor control. Reconstruction of the tongue while preserving and/or restoring its critical vocal, chewing, and swallowing functions remains one of the major challenges in head and neck oncologic surgery. We investigated the in vitro feasibility of fabricating a novel combinatorial construct using porcine small intestinal submucosa extracellular matrix (SIS-ECM) and human gingiva-derived mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) as a GMSC/SIS-ECM tissue graft for the tongue reconstruction. We developed a rat model of critical-sized myomucosal defect of the tongue that allowed the testing of therapeutic effects of an acellular SIS-ECM construct versus a GMSC/SIS-ECM construct on repair and regeneration of the tongue defect. We showed that the GMSC/SIS-ECM construct engrafted at the host recipient site, promoted soft tissue healing, and regenerated the muscular layer, compared to the SIS-ECM alone or nontreated defect controls. Furthermore, our results revealed that transplantation of the GMSC/SIS-ECM construct significantly increased the expression of several myogenic transcriptional factors and simultaneously suppressed the expression of type I collagen at the wounded area of the tongue. These compelling findings suggest that, unlike the tongue contracture and fibrosis of the nontreated defect group, transplantation of the combinatorial GMSC/SIS-ECM constructs accelerates wound healing and muscle regeneration and maintains the overall tongue shape, possibly by both enhancing the function of endogenous skeletal progenitor cells and suppressing fibrosis. Together, our findings indicate that GMSC/SIS-ECM potentially served as a myomucosal graft for tongue reconstruction postsurgery of head and neck cancer.

Abstract
Here, a click-cross-linked small intestine submucosa (SIS) drug depot is described for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). To the best of the knowledge, there have been no studies related to the intra-articular injection of methotrexate (Met)-loaded click-cross-linkable SIS (Met-loaded Cx-SIS) for RA treatment. As the key objective of this work, injectable formulations of tetrazine-modified SIS (TE-SIS) and transcyclooctene-modified SIS (TC-SIS) are employed as drug depots. Within a few seconds, the simple mixing of equal amounts of TE-SIS and TC-SIS suspensions forms a gelatinous click-cross-linked SIS (Cx-SIS) drug depot in vitro and in vivo. The formed Cx-SIS depot is maintained in the articular joint over an extended period, while SIS alone rapidly disappears. Injectable formulations of Met-loaded Cx-SIS and Met-loaded SIS are prepared and then injected into articular joints to form drug depots. Compared to animals treated with Met-loaded SIS, RA animals treated with Met-loaded Cx-SIS show effective RA repair, as well as extensive regeneration of chondrocytes and glycosaminoglycan deposits. Collectively, these results indicate that the Met-loaded Cx-SIS depot is successfully formed after intra-articular injection of click-cross-linkable SIS, and that this formulation induces long-lasting Met release and allows Met to act effectively in the articular joint, resulting in RA repair.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Physiologically relevant, well-characterized in vitro vocal fold coculture models are needed to test the effects of various challenges and therapeutics on vocal fold physiology. We characterize a healthy state coculture model, created by using bronchial/tracheal epithelial cells and immortalized vocal fold fibroblasts. We also demonstrate that this model can be induced into a fibroplastic state to overexpress stress fibers using TGFβ1. STUDY DESIGN In vitro. METHODS Cell metabolic activity of immortalized human vocal fold fibroblasts incubated in different medium combinations was confirmed with an MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. Fibroblasts were grown to confluence, and primary bronchial/tracheal epithelial cells suspended in coculture medium were seeded directly over the base layer of the fibroblasts. Cells were treated with transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) to induce myofibroblast formation. Cell shape and position were confirmed by live cell tracking, fibrosis was confirmed by probing for α smooth muscle actin (αSMA), and phenotype was confirmed by immunostaining for vimentin and E-cadherin. RESULTS Fibroblasts retain metabolic activity in coculture epithelial medium. Live cell imaging revealed a layer of epithelial cells atop fibroblasts. αSMA expression was enhanced in TGFβ1-treated cells, confirming that both cell types maintained a healthy phenotype in coculture, and can be induced into overexpressing stress fibers. Vimentin and E-cadherin immunostaining show that cells retain phenotype in coculture. CONCLUSIONS These data lay effective groundwork for a functional coculture model that retains the reproducibility necessary to serve as a viable diagnostic and therapeutic screening platform.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Tissue engineering is a rapidly expanding field in medicine and involves regeneration and restoration of many organs, including larynx and the airways. Currently, this is not included in routine practice; however, a number of clinical trials in humans are ongoing or starting. This review will cover publications during the past 2 years and the focus is on larynx and trachea. RECENT FINDINGS Recent reports concern the development and investigations of cell therapies, including biological factors such as growth factors which promote healing of damage and increased vascular support of the tissue. A separate section concerns studies of stromal cells and stem cells in tissue engineering. Cell therapies and treatment with biological active factors are often combined with the development of scaffolds to support or reconstruct the soft tissue in the larynx or the cartilages in trachea or larynx. New techniques for scaffold construction, such as 3D printing, are developed. The trend in the recent publications is to combine these methods. SUMMARY Recent advances in tissue engineering of the larynx and trachea include the development of cell therapies or treatment with biological active factors often in combination with scaffolds.

Abstract
An in situ-forming gel system comprised of diblock copolymer formed from polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polycaprolactone (PCL) {MPEG-b-(PCL-ran-PLLA)} could be used in controlled drug delivery for tissue remodeling. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate favorable vocal folds (VF) regeneration by using MPEG-b-(PCL-ran-PLLA) diblock copolymers (C97L3; CL/LA ratio 97:3) incorporating hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). Gradual release of HGF from C97L3 is detected and biochemical properties of released HGF are maintained. A scar is made with microscissors on both VFs in 32 rabbits, followed by injection of HGF-only, C97L3-only, or HGF-C97L3 composite gel in the left side VF, while the right side VF is left untreated. In vivo fluorescence live imaging system demonstrates that C97L3 enables the sustained release of injected HGF in the scarred VF for 12 weeks. The histological analysis shows increased glycosaminoglycan including hyaluronic acid accumulation and decreased collagen deposition. Videokymographic analysis shows more favorable vibrations of HGF-C97L3 treated VF mucosa, compared to other treatment groups. In conclusion, the controlled HGF release helps to regulate extracellular matrix synthesis, and leads to the eventual functional improvement of the scarred VF.

Abstract
Objectives Therapy with mesenchymal stem cells exhibits potential for the development of novel interventions for many diseases and injuries. The use of mesenchymal stem cells in regenerative therapy for vocal fold scarring exhibited promising results to reduce stiffness and enhance the biomechanical properties of injured vocal folds. This study evaluated the biomechanical effects of mesenchymal stem cell therapy for the treatment of vocal fold scarring. Data Sources PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and Google Scholar were searched. Methods Controlled studies that assessed the biomechanical effects of mesenchymal stem cell therapy for the treatment of vocal fold scarring were included. Primary outcomes were viscoelastic properties and mucosal wave amplitude. Results Seven preclinical animal studies (n = 152 single vocal folds) were eligible for inclusion. Evaluation of viscoelastic parameters revealed a decreased dynamic viscosity (η’) and elastic modulus (G’), i.e., decreased resistance and stiffness, in scarred vocal folds treated with mesenchymal stem cells compared to non-treated scarred vocal folds. Mucosal wave amplitude was increased in scarred vocal folds treated with mesenchymal stem cells vs. non-treated scarred vocal folds. Conclusion The results from these studies suggest an increased regenerative effect of therapy with mesenchymal stem cells for scarred vocal folds and are encouraging for further clinical studies.

Abstract
The vocal folds (VFs) are exposed to a number of injurious stimuli that frequently lead to aberrant structural alterations and altered biomechanical properties that clinically manifest as voice disorders. Therapies to restore both structure and function of this delicate tissue are ideal. However, such methods have not been adequately developed. Our group and others hypothesize that tissue engineering and regenerative medicine approaches, previously described for other tissue systems, hold significant promise for the VFs. In this review, we explore the concept of tissue engineering as it relates to the VFs, as well as recent studies employing both naturally and synthetically derived biomaterials, including those from laryngeal and nonlaryngeal sources, in combination with stem cells for a tissue-engineered approach to VF repair.

Abstract
AIM We aimed to analyze the suitability of nanoparticles (M4E) for safe human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) labeling and determined cell labeling maintenance in 2D and 3D culture. MATERIALS & METHODS We investigated cell-particle interaction and the particles' impact on cell viability, growth and proliferation. We analyzed cell labeling maintenance in 2D and 3D culture invasively and noninvasively. RESULTS M4E do not affect cell viability, growth and proliferation and do not cause chromosomal aberrations. Cell labeling maintenance is up to five-times higher in 3D conditions compared with 2D culture. CONCLUSION M4E allow safe hMSC labeling and noninvasive identification. Our hMSC-loaded, 3D tissue-engineered construct could serve as a graft for regenerative therapies, in which M4E-labeled hMSCs can migrate to their target.

Novel Therapeutic Effects of Non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma for Muscle Regeneration and Differentiation. Sci Rep 2016; 6:28829.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle can repair muscle tissue damage, but significant loss of muscle tissue or its long-lasting chronic degeneration makes injured skeletal muscle tissue difficult to restore. It has been demonstrated that non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma (NTP) can be used in many biological areas including regenerative medicine. Therefore, we determined whether NTP, as a non-contact biological external stimulator that generates biological catalyzers, can induce regeneration of injured muscle without biomaterials. Treatment with NTP in the defected muscle of a Sprague Dawley (SD) rat increased the number of proliferating muscle cells 7 days after plasma treatment (dapt) and rapidly induced formation of muscle tissue and muscle cell differentiation at 14 dapt. In addition, in vitro experiments also showed that NTP could induce muscle cell proliferation and differentiation of human muscle cells. Taken together, our results demonstrated that NTP promotes restoration of muscle defects through control of cell proliferation and differentiation without biological or structural supporters, suggesting that NTP has the potential for use in muscle tissue engineering and regenerative therapies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Adipose derived stromal cells (ASCs) are abundant and easy to prepare. Such cells may be useful for treating severe vocal disturbance caused by acute vocal fold scars. STUDY DESIGN Prospective animal experiments with controls. METHODS Twenty New-Zealand white rabbits were used in the present study. We evaluated vocal fold healing, with or without injection of autologous ASCs, after acute scarring. A defined lesion was created and the ASCs were immediately injected. Vocal fold regeneration was evaluated histomorphometrically and via viscoelastic analysis using an electrodynamic shaker. RESULTS Six weeks after ASC injection, vocal folds exhibited significantly less inflammation than control folds (P < 0.005). In addition, hypertrophy of the lamina propria and fibrosis were significantly reduced upon ASC injection (P < 0.02). The decrease in viscoelastic parameters was less important in the ASC injected group compared to the noninjected group (P = 0.08). CONCLUSION Injection of autologous ASCs improved vocal fold healing in our preclinical model. Further studies are needed, but this method may be useful in humans. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE NA.

Abstract
CONCLUSION The results of the present investigation suggest that modification of HA could improve efficiency and durability in augmentation laryngoplasty. OBJECTIVES Injection laryngoplasty (IL) is one of the most suitable options for treatment of glottic insufficiency, which is caused by vocal fold (VF) paralysis, atrophy, or scarring. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a widely used material for VF injection. This study was intended to evaluate the durability and efficiency of HA of different particle sizes for VF augmentation. METHODS Three types of HA, Restylane®, monophasic low-viscosity, and unequal particle-sized middle-viscosity HA were injected into the left VF of three groups with eight rabbits each. RESULTS After 6 and 10 weeks, the injected site was evaluated endoscopically, histologically, radiologically, and functionally. None of the 24 rabbits showed any signs of respiratory distress. Computed tomography (CT) images and endoscopic evaluation revealed sufficient augmented volume of the injected VF in all treated groups 6 weeks after the injection. Histological data at week 10 showed that unequal particle-sized HA did not migrate from its original injection site, while other HAs migrated to the periphery of the arytenoid cartilage. Videokymographic analysis showed more favorable vibrations of unequal particle-sized HA injected VF mucosa 10 weeks post-injection, compared to the other treatment groups.
