Abstract
Skin is the first defense barrier of the human body, which can resist the invasion of external dust, microorganisms and other pollutants, and ensure that the human body maintains the homeostasis of the internal environment. Once the skin is damaged, the health threat to the human body will increase. Wound repair and the human internal environment are a dynamic process. How to effectively accelerate the healing of wounds without affecting the internal environment of the human body and guarantee that the repaired tissue retains its original function as much as possible has become a research hotspot. With the advancement of technology, researchers have combined new technologies to develop and prepare various types of materials for wound healing. This article will introduce the wound repair materials developed and prepared in recent years from three types: nanofibers, composite hydrogels, and other new materials. The paper aims to provide reference for researchers in related fields to develop and prepare multifunctional materials. This may be helpful to design more ideal materials for clinical application, and then achieve better wound healing and regeneration effects.

Int J Pharm 2024; 659:124274. [PMID: 38802029 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124274] [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: 03/21/2024] [Revised: 05/05/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
Fabricating a fibrous well-ordered wound dressing for accelerating full-thickness wounds is a desirable treatment vector. Here, through modifications in the material extrusion device and adding a pneumatic-based injection, a material extrusion method for gelatin was introduced with the ability to fabricate 3D structure with repeat layers to support cell activity for the under layer. Furthermore, in the upper layer, the co-electrospinning of PU with gelatin was designed to simultaneously exploit the oxygen permeability and mechanical stability of PU with regenerative properties and collagen-like structure of gelatin. Moreover, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO) was added into the 3D-printed under layer to synergistically benefit from the antibacterial properties of ZnO and the excellent biocompatibility of gelatin. The controllable porosity of the under layer, enabled through the additive manufacturing method, was adjusted to mimic the extracellular matrix of natural tissue with around (127.28 ± 20.70) μm pore size after swelling with smooth fibers. S. aureus, E. coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Pseudomonas with inhibition zone diameters at ∼ 2.14 cm and ∼ 1.96 cm, ∼ 4.01 cm, and ∼ 2.24 cm, respectively. Moreover, the scaffold showed great biocompatibility toward fibroblast cells after 7 days of cell culture with ∼ 89 % cell viability.

Abstract
At present, wound dressings in clinical applications are primarily used for superficial skin wounds. However, these dressings have significant limitations, including poor biocompatibility and limited ability to promote wound healing. To address the issue, this study used aldehyde polyethylene glycol as the cross-linking agent to design a carboxymethyl chitosan-methacrylic acid gelatin hydrogel with enhanced biocompatibility, which can promote wound healing and angiogenesis. The CSDG hydrogel exhibits acid sensitivity, with a swelling ratio of up to 300%. Additionally, it exhibited excellent resistance to external stress, withstanding pressures of up to 160 kPa and self-deformation of 80%. Compared to commercially available chitosan wound gels, the CSDG hydrogel demonstrates excellent biocompatibility, antibacterial properties, and hemostatic ability. Bothin vitroandin vivoresults showed that the CSDG hydrogel accelerated blood vessel regeneration by upregulating the expression of CD31, IL-6, FGF, and VEGF, thereby promoting rapid healing of wounds. In conclusion, this study successfully prepared the CSDG hydrogel wound dressings, providing a new approach and method for the development of hydrogel dressings based on natural macromolecules.

Abstract
Articular cartilage is an avascular and almost acellular tissue with limited self-regenerating capabilities. Although injectable hydrogels have garnered a lot of attention as a promising treatment, a biocompatible hydrogel with adequate mechanical properties is yet to be created. In this study, an interpenetrating network hydrogel comprised of chitosan and silk fibroin was created through electrostatic and hydrophobic bonds, respectively. The polymeric network of the scaffold combined an effective microenvironment for cell activity with enhanced mechanical properties to address the current issues in cartilage scaffolds. Furthermore, microspheres (MS) were utilized for a controlled release of methylprednisolone acetate (MPA), around ~75 % after 35 days. The proposed scaffolds demonstrated great mechanical stability with ~0.047 MPa compressive moduli and ~145 kPa compressive strength. Moreover, the degradation rate of the samples (~45 % after 35 days) was optimized to match neo-cartilage formation. Furthermore, the use of natural biomaterials yielded good biocompatibility with ~76 % chondrocyte viability after 7 days. According to gross observation after 12 weeks the defect site of the treated groups was filled with minimally discernible boundary. These results were confirmed by histopathology assays were the treated groups showed higher chondrocyte count and collagen type II expression.

Abstract
Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) is a star material in drug delivery applications due to its good biocompatibility, large specific surface area, high tensile strength (TS), and high hydrophilicity. Poly(Vinyl Alcohol)/Gellan-gum-based innovative composite film has been prepared using nanocrystalline cellulose (PVA/GG/NCC) as a strengthening agent for ocular delivery of moxifloxacin (MOX) via solvent casting method. Impedance analysis was studied using the capacitive sensing technique for examining new capacitance nature of the nanocomposite MOX film. Antimicrobial properties of films were evaluated using Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus as gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria respectively by disc diffusion technique. XRD revealed the characteristic peak of NCC and the amorphous form of the drug. Sustained in vitro release and enhanced corneal permeation of drug were noticed in the presence of NCC. Polymer matrix enhanced the mechanical properties (tensile strength 22.05 to 28.41 MPa) and impedance behavior (resistance 59.23 to 213.23 Ω) in the film due to the presence of NCC rather than its absence (16.78 MPa and 39.03 Ω respectively). Occurrence of NCC brought about good antimicrobial behavior (both gram-positive and gram-negative) of the film. NCC incorporated poly(vinyl alcohol)/gellan-gum-based composite film exhibited increased mechanical properties and impedance behavior for improved ocular delivery of moxifloxacin.

Abstract
The ideal and highly anticipated dressing for skin wounds should provide a moist environment, possess antibacterial properties, and ensure sustained drug release. In the present work, a hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel was formed by cross-linking crocetin and CaCO3@polyelectrolyte materials (CaCO3@PEM) microspheres with HA hydrogels via hydrogen bond and amido bonding (CaCO3@PEM@Cro@HA hydrogel, CPC@HA hydrogel). Moreover, the CPC@HA hydrogel had the capability of sustained, controlled release of calcium ions and crocetin via pH-sensitive and accelerated skin wound healing. The experiment results showed that the CPC@HA hydrogel exhibited porous network structures, stable physical properties, and had antibacterial properties and biocompatibility in vitro. In addition, the CPC@HA hydrogel covering on the skin wound could reduce inflammation and promote wound healing. The high expression of angiogenic cytokines (CD31) and epidermal terminal differentiation markers (Loricrin) of wound healing tissue suggested the CPC@HA hydrogel also had the function of promoting the remodeling of regenerated skin. Overall, CPC@HA hydrogel has promising potential for clinical applications in accelerating skin wound repair.

Karamanlioglu M, Yesilkir-Baydar S. Characterization of gelatin-based wound dressing biomaterials containing increasing coconut oil concentrations. JOURNAL OF BIOMATERIALS SCIENCE. POLYMER EDITION 2024; 35:16-44.

Abstract
This study determined the influence and ideal ratios of various coconut oil (CO) amounts in gelatin (G) based-films as wound dressings since there are limited comparative studies to evaluate the sole effect of increasing CO on protein-based biomaterials. Homogenous films at G:CO ratio of 4:0,4:2,4:3,4:4 (w:w) corresponding to CO-0, CO-2, CO-3, CO-4, respectively, were obtained using solution casting. SEM showed CO caused rougher surfaces decreasing mechanical strength. However, no pores were observed in CO-4 due to bigger clusters of oil improving stretchability compared to CO-3; and durability since aging of CO-4 was >10% lower than CO-0 in aqueous media. FTIR showed triglycerides' band only in CO films with increasing amplitude. Moreover, amide-I of CO-2 was involved in more hydrogen bonding, therefore, CO-2 had the highest melt-like transition temperatures (Tmax) at ∼163 °C while others' were at ∼133 °C; and had more ideal mechanical properties among CO films. XTT showed that increased CO improved 3T3 cell viability as CO-0 significantly decreased viability at 10,50,75,100 μg/mL (p < 0.05), whereas CO-2 and CO-3 within 5-75 μg/mL and CO-4 within 5-100 μg/mL range increased viability ≥100% suggesting proliferation. All CO samples at 25 μg/mL stimulated 3T3 cell migration in Scratch Assay indicating wound healing. CO amounts mainly improved thermal and healing properties of gelatin-based biomaterial. CO-2 was more thermally stable and CO-4 had better influence on cell viability and wound healing than CO-0. Therefore, increased CO ratios, specifically 4:2 and 4:4, G:CO (w:w), in gelatin-based films can be ideal candidates for wound dressing materials.

A novel multifunctional chitosan-gelatin/carboxymethyl cellulose-alginate bilayer hydrogel containing human placenta extract for accelerating full-thickness wound healing. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126929. [PMID: 37717877 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126929] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2023] [Revised: 09/02/2023] [Accepted: 09/14/2023] [Indexed: 09/19/2023]
Abstract
The replication of skin's dermal and epidermal morphology within a full-thickness wound using a bi-layer hydrogel to cater to their distinct needs is a compelling pursuit. Moreover, human placenta extract (HPE), containing a diverse array of bioactive agents, has proven to be effective in promoting the wound healing process and enhancing epidermal keratinocytes. This study presents a multifunctional bi-layer hydrogel incorporating HPE for accelerating full-thickness wound healing through sustained HPE release, inhibition of bacteria invasion, and promotion of cell proliferation. The upper layer of the scaffold, known as the dressing layer, is composed of carboxymethyl cellulose and sodium alginate, serving as a supportive layer for cell proliferation. The under layer, referred to as the regenerative layer, is composed of chitosan and gelatin, providing an extracellular matrix-like, porous, moist, and antibacterial environment for cell growth. The scaffold was optimized to replicate the morphology of the dermal and epidermal layers, with suitable fibroblast infiltration and a pore size of approximately 283μm. Furthermore, the degradation rate of the samples matched the wound healing rate and persisted throughout this period. The sustained HPE release rate, facilitated by the degradation rate, was optimized to reach ~98% after 28 days, covering the entire healing period. The samples demonstrated robust antibacterial capabilities, with bacterial inhibition zone diameters of and 2.63±0.12cm for S. aureus and E. coli, respectively. The biocompatibility of the samples remained at approximately 68.33±4.5% after 21 days of fibroblast cell culture. The in vivo experiment indicated that the HPE@Bilayer hydrogel promotes the formation of new blood vessels and fibroblasts during the early stages of healing, leading to the appropriate formation of granulation tissue and a wound contraction rate of (79.31±3.1)%. Additionally, it resulted in the formation of a thick epidermal layer (keratinization) that effectively covered all the impaired areas, achieving a wound contraction rate of 95.83±6.3% at the late stage of wound healing. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry staining for CD31 and TGF-β revealed that the HPE@Bilayer group had 22 blood vessels/field and 34%-66% immunoactive cells, respectively, after 14 days of healing. However, by day 21, angiogenesis and TGF-β expression had declined, demonstrating that the wounds had been successfully treated with minimal scarring.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds are among the major healthcare challenges, consuming billions of dollars of resources and resulting in high numbers of morbidity and mortality every year. Lack of sufficient oxygen supply is one of the most dominant causes of impaired healing in diabetic wounds. Numerous clinical and experimental studies have demonstrated positive outcomes as a result of delivering oxygen at the diabetic wound site, including enhanced angiogenesis, antibacterial and cell proliferation activities. However, prolonged and sustained delivery of oxygen to improve the wound healing process has remained a major challenge due to rapid release of oxygen from oxygen sources and limited penetration of oxygen into deep skin tissues. Hydrogels made from sugar-based polymers such as chitosan and hyaluronic acid, and proteins such as gelatin, collagen and hemoglobin have been widely used to deliver oxygen in a sustained delivery mode. This review presents an overview of the recent advances in oxygen releasing hydrogel based patches as a therapeutic modality to enhance diabetic wound healing. Various types of oxygen releasing wound healing patch have been discussed along with their fabrication method, release profile, cytocompatibility and in vivo results. We also briefly discuss the challenges and prospects related to the application of oxygen releasing biomaterials as wound healing therapeutics.

Abstract
Nanocellulose (NC) is a natural fiber that can be extracted in fibrils or crystals form from different natural sources, including plants, bacteria, and algae. In recent years, nanocellulose has emerged as a sustainable biomaterial for various medicinal applications including drug delivery systems, wound healing, tissue engineering, and antimicrobial treatment due to its biocompatibility, low cytotoxicity, and exceptional water holding capacity for cell immobilization. Many antimicrobial products can be produced due to the chemical functionality of nanocellulose, such disposable antibacterial smart masks for healthcare use. This article discusses comprehensively three types of nanocellulose: cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), and bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) in view of their structural and functional properties, extraction methods, and the distinctive biomedical applications based on the recently published work. On top of that, the biosafety profile and the future perspectives of nanocellulose-based biomaterials have been further discussed in this review.

Abstract
Impaired wound healing is a major healthcare problem in patients with diabetes often resulting in gangrene, microbial infection and amputation of affected limb. The delay or absence in healing process arises from several abnormalities, among them chronic hypoxia is a major concern due to its associated issues such as lack of collagen deposition, epithelization, fibroplasia, angiogenesis, and resistance to infections at the wound site. To address hypoxia, delivery of oxygen at the wound site through oxygen releasing agents have been proven to be effective therapeutics. Several oxygen releasing nanoparticles such as Sodium Percarbonate (SPC), Calcium Peroxide (CPO), Hydrogen Peroxide, Magnesium Peroxide (MPO) have been investigated in wound healing application. However, the uncontrolled/burst release of these nanotherapeutic agents and its accompanied cytotoxicity pose a barrier in expediting the healing process. In this study, a Chitosan-Polyvinyl alcohol (CS-PVA) based hydrogel containing oxygen releasing nanoparticle, calcium peroxide (CPO) was constructed to provide a slow and sustained delivery of oxygen for at least 5 days. In-vitro cell culture studies with this material using fibroblast and endothelial cell line exhibited improved biocompatibility, cell viability and enhanced proliferation in comparison with the control group. Additionally, cell migration study using scratch assay method showed superior cell migration ability of our proposed materials. Furthermore, In vivo study using diabetic rat model showed accelerated wound closure rate compared to untreated control wounds.

Abstract
The treatment of wounds is a serious problem all over the world and imposes a huge financial burden on each and every nation. For a long time, researchers have explored wound dressing that speeds up wound healing. Traditional wound dressing does not respond effectively to the wound-healing process as expected. Therapeutic active derived from plant extracts and extracted bioactive components have been employed in various regions of the globe since ancient times for the purpose of illness, prevention, and therapy. About 200 years ago, most medical treatments were based on herbal remedies. Especially in the West, the usage of herbal treatments began to wane in the 1960s as a result of the rise of allopathic medicine. In recent years, however, there has been a resurgence of interest in and demand for herbal medicines for a number of reasons, including claims about their efficacy, shifting consumer preferences toward natural medicines, high costs and negative side effects of modern medicines, and advancements in herbal medicines brought about by scientific research and technological innovation. The exploration of medicinal plants and their typical uses could potentially result in advanced pharmaceuticals that exhibit reduced adverse effects. This review aims to present an overview of the utilization of nanocarriers in plant-based therapeutics, including its current status, recent advancements, challenges, and future prospects. The objective is to equip researchers with a comprehensive understanding of the historical background, current state, and potential future developments in this emerging field. In light of this, the advantages of nanocarriers based delivery of natural wound healing treatments have been discussed, with a focus on nanofibers, nanoparticles, nano-emulsion, and nanogels.

Abstract
Chronic wounds have always been considered as "gordian knots" in medicine, in which hypoxia plays a key role in blocking healing. To address this challenge, although tissue reoxygenation therapy based on hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been performed clinically for several years, the bench to bedside still urges the evolution of oxygen-loading and -releasing strategies with explicit benefits and consistent outcome. The combination of various oxygen carriers with biomaterials has gained momentum as an emerging therapeutic strategy in this field, exhibiting considerable application potential. This review gives an overview of the essential relationship between hypoxia and delayed wound healing. Further, detailed characteristics, preparation methods and applications of various oxygen-releasing biomaterials (ORBMs) will be elaborated, including hemoglobin, perfluorocarbon, peroxide, and oxygen-generating microorganisms, those biomaterials are applied to load, release or generate a vast of oxygen to relieve the hypoxemia and bring the subsequent cascade effect. The pioneering papers regarding to the ORBMs practice are presented and trends toward hybrid and more precise manipulation are summarized.

Abstract
Successful regeneration of critical-size defects remains one of the significant challenges in regenerative engineering. These large-scale bone defects are difficult to regenerate and are often reconstructed with matrices that do not provide adequate oxygen levels to stem cells involved in the regeneration process. Hypoxia-induced necrosis predominantly occurs in the center of large matrices since the host tissue's local vasculature fails to provide sufficient nutrients and oxygen. Indeed, utilizing oxygen-generating materials can overcome the central hypoxic region, induce tissue in-growth, and increase the quality of life for patients with extensive tissue damage. This article reviews recent advances in oxygen-generating biomaterials for translational bone regenerative engineering. We discussed different oxygen-releasing and delivery methods, fabrication methods for oxygen-releasing matrices, biology, oxygen's role in bone regeneration, and emerging new oxygen delivery methods that could potentially be used for bone regenerative engineering.

[PMID: 36889413 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.122764] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2022] [Revised: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 02/18/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023]
Abstract
Fabricating a multifunctional orthopedic implant which prevents post-surgery infection is highly desirable in advanced materials applications. However, designing an antimicrobial implant, which simultaneously promotes a sustained drug release and satisfactory cell proliferation, remains a challenge. The current study presents a drug-loaded surface-modified titanium nanotube (TNT) implant with different surface chemistry which was developed to investigate the effect of surface coating on drug release, antimicrobial activity, and cell proliferation. Accordingly, sodium alginate and chitosan were coated on the surface of TNT implants with different coating orders through layer-by-layer assembly. The coatings' swelling ratio and degradation rate were around 613% and 75%, respectively. The drug release results showed that surface-coatings prolonged the releasing profile for about 4 weeks. Chitosan coated TNTs demonstrated greater inhibition zone at 16.33mm compared with the other samples where no inhibition zone was observed. However, chitosan and alginate coated TNTs exhibited smaller inhibition zones at 48.56mm and 43.28mm, respectively, compared to bare TNT, which can be attributed to the coatings preventing the antibiotic burst release. Higher viability of cultured osteoblast cells was observed for chitosan-coated TNT as the top layer compared to the bare TNT at 12.18%, indicating improved bioactivity of TNT implants when the chitosan has the most contact with cells. Coupled with the cell viability assay, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were carried out by placing collagen and fibronectin near the considered substrates. In agreement with cell viability results, MD simulations also indicated that chitosan had the highest adsorption energy approximately 60Kcal/mol. In summary, the proposed bilayer chitosan-coated drug-loaded TNT implant with chitosan and sodium alginate coating as the top and the bottom layers, respectively, can be a potential candidate for orthopedic applications in the light of its bacterial biofilm prevention, better osteoconductivity, and providing an adequate drug release profile.

Abstract
In this study, ovotransferrin/chitosan (OVT/CS) composite films cross-linked by citric acid (CA) were prepared and the effects of CA cross-linking on the structure and physicochemical properties of the composite films were investigated. The cross-linking degree measured by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) method confirmed that CA was cross-linked with the matrix, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed that more hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions were formed between CA and the matrix. Differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and Scanning electron microscope images revealed the compatibility between substances. The synergistic inhibition between the matrix results in a significantly higher antibacterial activity of the composite film than the pure film. Compared with uncross-linked films, the mechanical properties, barrier properties and water resistance of the cross-linked films were significantly improved. When the concentration of CA was 5 wt% (W/W, on a dry basis of the weight of OVT and CS), the most significant improvement in film performance was obtained. The tensile strength of the film increased from 32.05 MPa without cross-linking to 61.99 MPa and the swelling degree decreased from 51.5 % to 24.23 %. The observed phenomena suggest that cross-linking OVT and CS with CA can obtain functional edible films with improved properties.

Abstract
Homogeneous vascularization of implanted tissue constructs can extend to 5 weeks, during which cell death can occur due to inadequate availability of oxygen. Researchers are engineering biomaterials that generate and release oxygen in a regulated manner, in an effort to overcome this hurdle. A main limitation of the existing oxygen-generating biomaterials is the uncontrolled release of oxygen, which is ultimately detrimental to the cells. This study demonstrates the incorporation of calcium peroxide (CaO2) within a hydrophobic polymer, polycaprolactone (PCL), to yield composite scaffolds with controlled oxygen release kinetics sustained over 5 weeks. Oxygen-generating microparticles coencapsulated with cardiomyocytes in a gelatin-based hydrogel matrix can serve as model systems for cardiac tissue engineering. Specifically, the results reveal that the oxygen-generating microspheres significantly improve the scaffold mechanical strength ranging from 5 kPa to 35 kPa, have an average scaffold pore size of 50-100 μm, swelling ratios of 33.3-29.8%, and degradation with 10-49% remaining mass at the end of a 48 h accelerated enzymatic degradation. The oxygen-generating scaffolds demonstrate improvement in cell viability, proliferation, and metabolic activity compared to the negative control group when cultured under hypoxia. Additionally, the optimized oxygen-generating constructs display no cytotoxicity or apoptosis. These oxygen-generating scaffolds can possibly assist the in vivo translation of cardiac tissue constructs.

Abstract
In this study, thin chitosan-gelatin biofilms cross-linked with dialdehyde cellulose nanocrystals for dressing materials were received. Two types of dialdehyde cellulose nanocrystals from fiber (DNCL) and microcrystalline cellulose (DAMC) were obtained by periodate oxidation. An ATR-FTIR analysis confirmed the selective oxidation of cellulose nanocrystals with the creation of a carbonyl group at 1724 cm−1. A higher degree of cross-linking was obtained in chitosan-gelatin biofilms with DNCL than with DAMC. An increasing amount of added cross-linkers resulted in a decrease in the apparent density value. The chitosan-gelatin biofilms cross-linked with DNCL exhibited a higher value of roughness parameters and antioxidant activity compared with materials cross-linked with DAMC. The cross-linking process improved the oxygen permeability and anti-inflammatory properties of both measurement series. Two samples cross-linked with DNCL achieved an ideal water vapor transition rate for wound dressings, CS-Gel with 10% and 15% addition of DNCL—8.60 and 9.60 mg/cm2/h, respectively. The swelling ability and interaction with human serum albumin (HSA) were improved for biofilms cross-linked with DAMC and DNCL. Significantly, the films cross-linked with DAMC were characterized by lower toxicity. These results confirmed that chitosan-gelatin biofilms cross-linked with DNCL and DAMC had improved properties for possible use in wound dressings.

Abstract
This study aims to produce, characterize, and assess the antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity of polymer blends based on chitosan (CT) and fish collagen (COL) produced by different precipitation methods. Polymer blends were obtained in alkaline (NaOH), saline (NaCl), and alkaline/saline (NaOH/NaCl) solutions with different CT:COL concentration ratios (20:80, 50:50, and 80:20). The polymer blends were characterized by various physicochemical methods and subsequently evaluated in terms of their in vitro antimicrobial and cytotoxicity activity. In this study, the degree of chitosan deacetylation was 82%. The total hydroxyproline and collagen content in the fish matrix was 47.56 mg. g−1 and 394.75 mg. g−1, respectively. The highest yield was 44% and was obtained for a CT:COL (80:20) blend prepared by precipitation in NaOH. High concentrations of hydroxyproline and collagen in the blends were observed when NaOH precipitation was used. Microbiological analysis revealed that the strains used in this work were sensitive to the biomaterial; this sensitivity was dose-dependent and increased with increasing chitosan concentration in the products. The biocompatibility test showed that the blends did not reduce the viability of fibroblast cells after 48 h of culture. An analysis of the microbiological activity of the all-polymer blends showed a decrease in the values of minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentrations (MBC) for S. aureus and P. aeruginosa. The blends showed biocompatibility with NIH-3T3 murine fibroblast cells and demonstrated their potential for use in biomedical applications such as wound healing, implants, and scaffolds. Different precipitation methods do not change the biological properties of polymer blends. Gram-positive bacterias and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were sensitive to polymer blends. The blends produced showed biocompatibility in NIH-3T3 murine fibroblast cells.

Abstract
The influence of coconut oil (CO) on a gelatin-based film was investigated when used as a potential wound dressing material. There is limited study on CO in protein-based wound dressing materials. Therefore, in this study a self-supporting, continuous and homogenous CO incorporated gelatin-based film was formulated and obtained by solution casting method. The influence of CO on physicochemical and thermal properties of gelatin-based film was also determined. Moreover, the effect CO in gelatin films on cell viability and cell migration was analysed with a preliminary cell culture study. Homogenous dispersion of 10% (w/w) CO was obtained in films when 3% (v/w) Tween 80, a surfactant, was incorporated to 20% (w/w) plasticized gelatin film forming solution. Effect of CO on gelatin-based film was observed via phase separation by SEM analysis. Water uptake of gelatin film with no CO, GE film; and 10% (w/w) CO incorporated GE film, GE-CO, were 320% and 210%, respectively, after 3 hours in water. FTIR analysis showed triglyceride component of CO and increased hydrogen bonding between NH groups of gelatin in GE-CO films. DSC results suggested a more ordered structure of GE-CO film due to an increase in melt-like transition temperature and melting enthalpy of GE-CO film. CO content also increased cell viability, assessed by XTT Assay since cell viability was approximately 100% when L929 cell culture was incubated with GE-CO of 5-100 μg/mL. Moreover, GE-CO samples within 5-25 μg/mL concentration range, increased proliferation of L929 cells since cell viability was significantly higher than the 100% viable cell culture control (P < 0.05) which is also an indication of efficient healing. However, GE decreased viability of L929 cells significantly at 100-10 μg/mL concentration range (P < 0.05) and were toxic at concentrations of 100, 75 and 50 μg/mL which decreased ∿50% of the viability of the cells. Scratch Assay to assess in vitro wound healing showed cell migration towards scratch after 24 h as an indication of wound healing only in GE-CO samples. This study showed that, CO could efficiently be added to gelatin-based films for preparation of a primary wound dressing biomaterial which is also demonstrated to have a promising wound healing effect for minor wounds.

Abstract
Green pyrotechnics/firecrackers reported herein are driven by thermite reactions for self-contained and self-sustained exothermic chemical reactions to make heat and sound by the usage of minimal fuel (aluminum), oxidizer (potassium nitrate), and Sulfur. These firecrackers have the potential for generating less emissions (70%) compared to commercial firecracker-based counterparts due to the presence of additives and are therefore designated as "Green firecrackers" or reduced emissions firecrackers. The functional performance and long-term stability of the composition was investigated through sound measurement and different tests, including ageing, thermal stability, and moisture test. The thermodynamics of the facilitated thermite reaction was cross-checked with experimental and theoretical methods. Prevalent mechanism for a substantial reduction in emissions to the tune of about 70% has been discussed. Cost of the green firecrackers is at par with the commercial firecrackers as cost of raw materials being used to prepare the formulation is comparable to the relatively toxic oxidizer substituted. "Green firecrackers" developed and reported here are environmentally benign in nature with higher business potential as far as a green chemistry-based sustainable solution for the society is required.

Abstract
Whether they are caused by trauma, illness, or surgery, wounds may occur throughout anyone's life. Some injuries' complexity and healing difficulty pose important challenges in the medical field, demanding novel approaches in wound management. A highly researched possibility is applying biomaterials in various forms, ranging from thin protective films, foams, and hydrogels to scaffolds and textiles enriched with drugs and nanoparticles. The synergy of biocompatibility and cell proliferative effects of these materials is reflected in a more rapid wound healing rate and improved structural and functional properties of the newly grown tissue. This paper aims to present the biomaterial dressings and scaffolds suitable for wound management application, reviewing the most recent studies in the field.

Abstract
The interaction of copaiba oil in the polymer matrix of chitosan can produce a favorable synergistic effect and potentiate properties. Indeed, the bioactive principles present in copaiba oil have anti-inflammatory and healing action. In the present work, chitosan membranes containing different contents of copaiba oil copaíba (0.1, 0.5, 1.0 and 5.0% (v/v)) were for the first time investigated. The membranes were developed by the casting method and analyzed for their morphology, degree of intumescence, moisture content, contact angle, Scanning Electron Microscope, and X-ray diffractometry. These chitosan/copaiba oil porous membranes disclosed fluid absorption capacity, hydrophilic surface, and moisture. In addition, the results showed that chitosan membranes with the addition of 1.0% (v/v) of copaiba oil presented oil drops with larger diameters, around 123.78 μm. The highest fluid absorption indexes were observed in chitosan membranes containing 0.1 and 0.5% (v/v) of copaiba oil. In addition, the copaiba oil modified the crystalline structure of chitosan. Such characteristics are expected to favor wound treatment. However, biological studies are necessary for the safe use of chitosan/copaiba oil membrane as a biomaterial.

Abstract
Wound dressings are devices used to stop bleeding and provide appropriate environmental conditions to accelerate wound healing. The effectiveness of wound dressing materials can be crucial to prevent deaths from excessive bleeding in surgeries and promote complete restoration of the injury. Some requirements for an ideal wound dressing are rapid hemostatic effect, high swelling capacity, antibacterial properties, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and mechanical strength. However, finding all these properties in a single material remains a challenge. In this context, nanocomposites have demonstrated an excellent capacity for this application because of their multifunctionality. One of the emerging materials used in nanocomposite manufacture is cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), which are rod-like crystalline nanometric structures present on cellulose chains. These nanoparticles are attractive for wound healing applications because of their high aspect ratio, high mechanical properties, functionality and low density. Hence, this work aimed to present an overview of nanocomposites constituted by CNCs for wound healing applications. The review focuses on the most common materials used as matrices, the types of dressing, and their fabrication techniques. Novel wound dressings composites have improved hemostatic, swelling, and mechanical properties compared to other pure biopolymers while preserving their other biological properties. Films, nanofibers mats, sponges, and hydrogels have been prepared with CNCs nanocomposites, and in vitro and in vivo tests have proved their suitability for wound healing.

Abstract
Wound care is a major biomedical field that is challenging due to the delayed wound healing process. Some factors are responsible for delayed wound healing such as malnutrition, poor oxygen flow, smoking, diseases (such as diabetes and cancer), microbial infections, etc. The currently used wound dressings suffer from various limitations, including poor antimicrobial activity, etc. Wound dressings that are formulated from biopolymers (e.g., cellulose, chitin, gelatin, chitosan, etc.) demonstrate interesting properties, such as good biocompatibility, non-toxicity, biodegradability, and attractive antimicrobial activity. Although biopolymer-based wound dressings display the aforementioned excellent features, they possess poor mechanical properties. Gelatin, a biopolymer has excellent biocompatibility, hemostatic property, reduced cytotoxicity, low antigenicity, and promotes cellular attachment and growth. However, it suffers from poor mechanical properties and antimicrobial activity. It is crosslinked with other polymers to enhance its mechanical properties. Furthermore, the incorporation of antimicrobial agents into gelatin-based wound dressings enhance their antimicrobial activity in vitro and in vivo. This review is focused on the development of hybrid wound dressings from a combination of gelatin and other polymers with good biological, mechanical, and physicochemical features which are appropriate for ideal wound dressings. Gelatin-based wound dressings are promising scaffolds for the treatment of infected, exuding, and bleeding wounds. This review article reports gelatin-based wound dressings which were developed between 2016 and 2021.

Abstract
Using the skin tissue engineering approach is a way to help the body to recover its lost skin in cases that the spontaneous healing process is either impossible or inadequate, such as severe wounds or burns. In the present study, chitosan/gelatin-based scaffolds containing 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1% allantoin were created to improve the wounds' healing process. EDC and NHS were used to cross-link the samples, which were further freeze-dried. Different in-vitro methods were utilized to characterize the specimens, including SEM imaging, PBS absorption and degradation tests, mechanical experiments, allantoin release profile assessment, antibacterial assay, and cell viability and adhesion tests. The results indicated that the scaffolds' average pore sizes were approximately in the range of 390-440 µm, and their PBS uptake amounts were about 1000% to 1250% after being soaked in PBS for 24 h. Around 70% of the specimens were degraded in 6 days, but they were not fully degraded after 21 days. Besides, the samples showed antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli bacteria. In general, the MTT cell viability test indicated that the cells' density increased slightly or remained the same during the experiment. SEM images of cells seeded on the scaffolds indicated appropriate properties of the scaffolds for cell adhesion.

A hydrogel/particle composite with a gradient of oxygen releasing microparticle for concurrent osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation in a single scaffold.

Abstract
In the present study, a hydrogel/particle scaffold with a gradient of the oxygen releasing microparticles was developed. Hydrogel component was composed of the oxidized pectin and silk fibroin, whereas the microparticles were constituted from polylactic acid (PLA) and calcium peroxide (CPO). A controlled mixing of the suspensions with different content of the PLA/CPO microparticles conferred a gradient of microparticles in scaffold thickness in a manner that the microparticle content increased with moving from lower to upper face of the composite. Measurement of the scaffold mechanical properties corroborated that with moving from lower to upper face, the compressive modulus increased by 78 %. The measurement of the oxygen and calcium release from the successive sections of the composite revealed that the gradient of microparticle concentration resulted in the gradient of the released oxygen and calcium. MTT analysis proved that the gradient oxygen releasing composite did not induce any toxic effect on human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAd-MSCs). Moreover, the cell culture on successive sections of the gradient composite confirmed that oxygen releasing composite substantially improved the cell viability and density comparing the pristine hydrogel and the non-oxygen releasing counterpart. The increase in microparticle content conferred a positive impact on the number of viable cells. The study of osteogenic (ALP, OCN and OPN) and chondrogenic (SOX9, AGG and COL ⅠⅠ) gene expression proved that the gradient composite parts with high microparticle content promoted osteogenesis, whereas the parts with low microparticle content encouraged chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells.

Abstract
Nanocelluloses (NCs), with their remarkable characteristics, have proven to be one of the most promising "green" materials of our times and have received special attention from researchers in nanomaterials. A diversity of new functional materials with a wide range of biomedical applications has been designed based on the most desirable properties of NCs, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and their special physicochemical properties. In this context and under the pressure of rapid development of this field, it is imperative to synthesize the successes and the new requirements in a comprehensive review. The first part of this work provides a brief review of the characteristics of the NCs (cellulose nanocrystals-CNC, cellulose nanofibrils-CNF, and bacterial nanocellulose-BNC), as well as of the main functional materials based on NCs (hydrogels, nanogels, and nanocomposites). The second part presents an extensive review of research over the past five years on promising pharmaceutical and medical applications of nanocellulose-based materials, which have been discussed in three important areas: drug-delivery systems, materials for wound-healing applications, as well as tissue engineering. Finally, an in-depth assessment of the in vitro and in vivo cytotoxicity of NCs-based materials, as well as the challenges related to their biodegradability, is performed.

Abstract
Collagen (Col) and gelatin are most extensively used in various fields, particularly in pharmaceuticals and therapeutics. Numerous researchers have proven that they are highly biocompatible to human tissues, exhibit low antigenicity and are easy to degrade. Despite their different sources both Col and gelatin have almost the same effects when it comes to wound healing mechanisms. Considering this, the bioactivity and biological effects of both Col and gelatin have been, and are being, constantly investigated through in vitro and in vivo assays to obtain maximum outcomes in the future. With regard to their proven nutritional values as sources of protein, Col and gelatin products exert various possible biological activities on cells in the extracellular matrix (ECM). In addition, a vast number of novel Col and gelatin applications have been discovered. This review compared Col and gelatin in terms of their structures, sources of derivatives, physicochemical properties, results of in vitro and in vivo studies, their roles in wound healing and the current challenges in wound healing. Thus, this review provides the current insights and the latest discoveries on both Col and gelatin in their wound healing mechanisms.

Abstract
Skin injury is quite common, and the wound healing is a complex process involving many types of cells, the extracellular matrix, and soluble mediators. Cell differentiation, migration, and proliferation are essential in restoring the integrity of the injured tissue. Despite the advances in science and technology, we have yet to find the ideal dressing that can support the healing of cutaneous wounds effectively, particularly for difficult-to-heal chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, bed sores, and venous ulcers. Hence, there is a need to identify and incorporate new ideas and methods to design a more effective dressing that not only can expedite wound healing but also can reduce scarring. Calcium has been identified to influence the wound healing process. This review explores the functions and roles of calcium in skin regeneration and reconstruction during would healing. Furthermore, this review also investigates the possibility of incorporating calcium into scaffolds and examines how it modulates cutaneous wound healing. In summary, the preliminary findings are promising. However, some challenges remain to be addressed before calcium can be used for cutaneous wound healing in clinical settings.

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

Abstract
This study explores the feasibility of modifying the surface liquid spraying method to prepare porous bioscaffolds intended for wound dressing applications. For this purpose, gentamicin sulfate was loaded into polylactide-polyvinyl alcohol bioscaffolds as a highly soluble (hygroscopic) model drug for in vitro release study. Moreover, the influence of inorganic salts including NaCl (10 g/L) and KMnO4 (0.4 mg/L), and post-thermal treatment (T) (80 °C for 2 min) on the properties of the bioscaffolds were studied. The bioscaffolds were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. In addition, other properties including porosity, swelling degree, water vapor transmission rate, entrapment efficiency, and the release of gentamicin sulfate were investigated. Results showed that high concentrations of NaCl (10 g/L) in the aqueous phase led to an increase of around 68% in the initial burst release due to the increase in porosity. In fact, porosity increased from 68.1 ± 1.2 to 94.1 ± 1.5. Moreover, the thermal treatment of the Polylactide-polyvinyl alcohol/NaCl (PLA-PVA/NaCl) bioscaffolds above glass transition temperature (Tg) reduced the initial burst release by approximately 11% and prolonged the release of the drug. These results suggest that thermal treatment of polymer above Tg can be an efficient approach for a sustained release.

Abstract
Wound healing is an unmet therapeutic challenge among medical society since wound assessment and management is a complex procedure including several factors playing major role in healing process. Wounds can mainly be categorized as acute or chronic. It is well referred that the acute wound displays normal wound physiology while healing, in most cases, is seemed to progress through the normal phases of wound healing. On the other hand, a chronic wound is physiologically impaired. The main problem in wound management is that the majority of wounds are colonized with microbes, whereas this does not mean that all wounds will be infected. In this review, we address the problems that clinicians face to manage while treat acute and chronic wounds. Moreover, we demonstrate the pathophysiology, etiology, prognosis and microbiology of wounds. We further introduce the state of art in pharmaceutical technology field as part of wound management aiming to assist health professionals to overcome the current implications on wound assessment. In addition, authors review researches which included the use of gels and dermal films as wound healing agents. It can be said that natural and synthetic drugs or carriers provide promising solutions in order to meet the wound management standards. However, are the current strategies as desirable as medical society wish?

Abstract
Nanotechnology-based fabricated wound dressings are known as appropriate substrates to enhance healing in both acute and chronic wounds. These types of materials have the ability to deliver therapeutic agents. In this study, a wound dressing including heparinized zinc oxide nanoparticles in combination with chitosan and poly(vinyl alcohol) was developed to investigate its antibacterial and regenerative properties in a rat model of full thickness skin wounds. By adding nanoparticles, the mechanical strength increased up to twice as compared to the sample without nanoparticles. In addition, heparin release profile follows the Hixson-Crowell release kinetic. Protein adsorption enhanced by adding nanoparticles in hydrogels and the prepared wound dressings were completely biocompatible. In terms of antibacterial activity, the minimum inhibitory concentration decreased by conjugation of heparin on the surface of zinc oxide nanoparticles compared to the non-functionalized nanoparticles, and, this shows the increased antibacterial synergistic effect by adding heparin to nanoparticles. Furthermore, it was found that the heparinized zinc oxide nanoparticles effectively accelerate wound closure, re-epithelialization and decrease collagen deposition compared to other groups after implantation. Hence, the prepared wound dressings have the capacity to significantly enhance healing of acute wounds.
