Nano-oxygenated hydrogels for locally and permeably hypoxia relieving to heal chronic wounds. Biomaterials 2022; 282:121401. [PMID: 35121358 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2022.121401] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2021] [Revised: 01/20/2022] [Accepted: 01/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
Exposed chronic wounds are usually covered by hypoxic tissues accompanied with necrosis, persistent inflammation and anaerobic infections. Since atmospheric oxygen air can only penetrate about 0.3 mm tissues, meanwhile oxygen from the circulation is difficult to reach chronic wounds through the destroyed blood vessels, a solution to deliver oxygen locally and permeably is urgently needed. Herein we report a technique to reform traditional gel-based wound dressings by adding lyophilized oxygen encapsulated nanoparticles, which can deliver dissolved oxygen locally into wound surface. This delivery technique can potentially evaluate the therapeutic effects on hypoxic epithelial, endothelial and fibroblasts in vitro. Further experiments confirm the effects on both open wounds bearing and flap transplanted diabetic mice models. Considering its biocompatibility, effectiveness and practicality, we believe our hydrogel has significant transformation value to care and accelerate the healing of various clinical wounds, especially chronic wound.

Abstract
A number of genetic factors have been linked to the development of diabetes, a condition that often requires implantable devices such as glucose sensors. In normoglycaemic individuals, this procedure induces a foreign body reaction (FBR) that is detrimental to bioimplant functionality. However, the influence of the genetic background on this reaction in diabetes has not been investigated. We examined the components of FBR (capsule thickness, collagen deposition, mast cell and foreign body giant cell number) in subcutaneous implants of polyether polyurethane (SIPP) in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes in Swiss, C57BL/6 and Balb/c mice. The fasting blood glucose levels before STZ injections were 133.5 ± 5.1 mg/dL, after the treatment increased 68.4% in Swiss mice, 62.4% in C57BL/6 and 30.9% in Balb/c mice. All FBR features were higher in implants of Swiss and C57BL/6 mice compared with those in implants of Balb/c. Likewise, the apoptotic index was higher in implants of diabetic Swiss and C57BL/6 mice whose glycaemic levels were the highest. Our findings show an association between the severity of hyperglycaemic levels and the intensity of the FBR to SIPP. These important strain-related differences in susceptibility to diabetes and the intensity of the FBR must be considered in management using implantable devices in diabetic individuals.

Abstract
The damaging effects of obesity extend to multiple pre-existing tissue/organs. However, the influence of this condition on key components (inflammation and angiogenesis) of fibrovascular connective proliferating tissue, essential in repair processes, has been neglected. Our objective in this study was to investigate whether obesity would influence inflammatory-angiogenesis induced by synthetic matrix of polyether-polyurethane implanted subcutaneously in high-fat-fed obese C57/BL6 mice. Fourteen days after implantation, the inflammatory and angiogenic components of the newly formed tissue intra-implant were evaluated. The pro-inflammatory enzyme activities, myeloperoxidase (MPO) and N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), the levels of TNF-α, CXCL1/KC and CCL2 and NF-κB transcription factor were examined. Angiogenesis was determined by morphometric analysis of implant blood vessels, intra-implant levels of hemoglobin content, VEGF levels, and western blot for VEGFR2. All inflammatory and angiogenic markers were increased in the implants of obese mice compared with their non-obese counterparts. Similarly, activation of the NF-κB pathway and phosphorylation of VEGFR2 were higher in implants of obese mice (1.60 ± 0.28 Np65/Cp65; 0.96 ± 0.08 p-VEGFR2/VEGFR2-T) compared with implants of non-obese animals (1.40 ± 0.14; 0.49 ± 0.08). These observations suggest that obesity exerts critical role in sponge-induced inflammatory-angiogenesis, possibly by activating fibrovascular components in the inflamed microenvironment. Thus, this pathological condition causes damage not only to pre-existing tissues/organs but also to newly formed proliferating fibrovascular tissue. This is relevant to the development of therapeutic approaches to improve healing processes in patients with obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Pancreas regenerative capacity after injury is not always sufficient to comply with the body's requirement of digestive enzymes and hormones. We present an alternative system to induce pancreas parenchyma proliferation (exocrine and endocrine components), rather than regeneration or remodeling in normoglycemic mice. METHODS Porous discs of polyether-polyurethane were surgically placed adjacent to the native pancreas and removed at days 15, 30 and 45 after implantation. No exogenous growth factors or extracellular matrix components were added to the platform. The synthetic matrix provided a platform that was filled with parenchymal and non-parenchymal pancreas tissue as detected by histological analysis. Immunohistochemistry analysis were performed to identify insulin positive cells in the newly formed tissue. In addition, angiogenic, inflammatory and metabolic parameters were carried out in those mice. RESULTS At day 15, the pores of the platform were filled with inflammatory cells, spindled-shaped like fibroblasts, extracellular matrix components, blood vessels and clusters of pancreatic parenchyma (acini, ducts and islet-like structures). At days 30 and 45 the pancreas features remained well organized; its organization resembled that of a native pancreas. Interestingly, besides islet-like structures that showed positive cells to insulin, some ductal cells were also positive for insulin immunostaining. No significant differences in serum glucose and c-peptide concentrations during the experimental period were detected. CONCLUSIONS The plain synthetic porous platform (without addition of exogenous molecules) placed adjacent to the native organ exhibits potential to restore and/or expand exocrine (acini, ducts) and endocrine (β-cell mass) components in pancreatic injuries and in high metabolic demand.

Abstract
Pneumonia may be caused by a wide range of pathogens and is considered the most common infectious cause of death in humans. Murine acute lung infection models mirror human pathologies in many aspects and contribute to our understanding of the disease and the development of novel treatment strategies. Despite progress in other fields of tissue imaging, histopathology remains the most conclusive and practical read out tool for the descriptive and semiquantitative evaluation of mouse pneumonia and therapeutic interventions. Here, we systematically describe and compare the distinctive histopathological features of established models of acute pneumonia in mice induced by Streptococcus (S.) pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Legionella pneumophila, Escherichia coli, Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) coronavirus, influenza A virus (IAV) and superinfection of IAV-incuced pneumonia with S. pneumoniae. Systematic comparisons of the models revealed striking differences in the distribution of lesions, the characteristics of pneumonia induced, principal inflammatory cell types, lesions in adjacent tissues, and the detectability of the pathogens in histological sections. We therefore identified core criteria for each model suitable for practical semiquantitative scoring systems that take into account the pathogen- and model-specific patterns of pneumonia. Other critical factors that affect experimental pathologies are discussed, including infectious dose, time kinetics, and the genetic background of the mouse strain. The substantial differences between the model-specific pathologies underscore the necessity of pathogen- and model-adapted criteria for the comparative quantification of experimental outcomes. These criteria also allow for the standardized validation and comparison of treatment strategies in preclinical models.
