Abstract
The development of an effective hemostatic agents is of vital importance for saving wounded individuals from uncontrolled hemorrhage, which is the main reason for preventable death after accidental injury. However, current high-performance hemostatic agents suffer from a cumbersome preparation procedures and poor biocompatibility. Here, we engineered a cellulosic-derived aerogel material by simply controlling the drying process of cellulose regeneration for fast hemostasis. Four different freeze-drying pretreatments were investigated. As compared with the other three, the cellulosic aerogel material prepared without freezing pretreatment exhibited the lowest crystallinity (21.3%) and the highest body fluid absorption capacity (20.3 times that of its own weight) due to its super hierarchical porous structure, which led to an excellent hemostatic performance in vitro blood coagulation (≈100 s). Moreover, the addition of gelatin and diatomite in the material could tune the functional groups and electrostatic properties of the aerogel and further enhance its hemostatic performance. Various characterizations, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray nanocomputed tomography (CT), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and zeta potential analysis, were carried out to probe the structure-function relationship of the prepared material, and its mechanism of fast hemostasis was thereafter revealed. The results indicate that the developed aerogel is a cost-effective and feasibly scalable hemostatic material suitable for practical use in industry.

Aktı A, Kaya DI. Evaluation of Tensile Strength of Surgically Absorbable Suture Materials Used in Oral Surgery after Immersion in Different Beverages: An In Vitro Study. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:3586. [PMID: 39063878 PMCID: PMC11278735 DOI: 10.3390/ma17143586] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2024] [Revised: 07/14/2024] [Accepted: 07/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
Suture materials are natural or synthetic biomaterials used to close tissues together. After surgical procedures in the mouth, the surgical site and the sutures are physically affected by many different factors. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of frequently consumed beverages on the tensile strength of monofilament PGLA (polyglycolide-co-l-lactide) and multi-filament PGCL (polyglycolide-co-caprolactone) absorbable sutures. In particular, PGLA and PGCL absorbable sutures, which are frequently used in oral surgery, were used to evaluate the change in the strength of suture materials. The suture materials were soaked in tea, coffee, and cola drinks five times a day for 5 min each and the rest of the time in artificial saliva. All suture materials were aged via thermal cycling. Tensile strengths were tested at 0, 3, 7, and 14 days. Mixed ANOVA (four replicates: within-group comparison and two factors: between-group comparison) was performed to evaluate the effects of groups and time on the tension levels of the Tekmon and Vicryl suture materials. Analysis of Variance was used for the within- and between-group comparisons, with the Bonferroni corrected t-test for multiple comparisons. For the PGCL suture material, there were significant decreases in tension levels in artificial saliva, tea, coffee, and cola at time T3 compared to T0, T1, and T2, and at T1 and T2 compared to T0. For the PGLA suture material, there were significant decreases in tension levels in artificial saliva, tea, coffee, and cola at time T3 compared to T0, T1, and T2. There was also a significant decrease in tension level at time T2 in cola compared to T0. The present study demonstrates that beverages significantly decrease the strength of suture materials for 14 days after surgery. In particular, cola decreased the resistance of the PGCL suture material more significantly in the first week when compared to other beverages.

Abstract
As is well known, cellulose, as a natural polymer material with abundant reserves, plays an irreplaceable role as the major raw material in energy and chemical-related fields. With the continuous advancement of technology, native single-component cellulose is often unsatisfactory for practical applications, constructing composites is an effective means of expanding the applications. When compounded with other ingredients to prepare composites, cellulose usually needs to be dissolved and regenerated to obtain good dispersion. Current studies have revealed that cellulose is insoluble in conventional solvents, and the limited types of solvent systems that can dissolve cellulose tend to degrade the cellulose during the dissolution process, altering the cellulose properties. Ionic liquids (ILs) are a class of solvents that are capable of dissolving cellulose without adversely affecting the cellulose during the dissolution process, such as degradation. Graphene and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are poorly dispersed and easily agglomerated by π-π stacking in general solvents, whereas ILs can effectively shield them from π-π stacking, resulting in a favorable and steady dispersion. Thus, the cellulose composites of graphene/CNTs can be prepared with the assistance of ILs. In this paper, the solubilization of cellulose by ILs and the solubilization mechanism to the preparation of cellulose composites with graphene/CNTs are reviewed, the interactions between graphene, CNTs and cellulose in the composites are elucidated, and the preparation of cellulose composites with graphene/CNTs is introduced in terms of their structure, properties and application potential.

Abstract
Achieving hemostasis is a necessary intervention to rapidly and effectively control bleeding. Conventional hemostatic materials currently used in clinical practice may aggravate the damage at the bleeding site due to factors such as poor adhesion and poor adaptation. Compared to most traditional hemostatic materials, polymer-based hemostatic materials have better biocompatibility and offer several advantages. They provide a more effective method of stopping bleeding and avoiding additional damage to the body in case of excessive blood loss. Various hemostatic materials with greater functionality have been developed in recent years for different organs using diverse design strategies. This article reviews the latest advances in the development of polymeric hemostatic materials. We introduce the coagulation cascade reaction after bleeding and then discuss the hemostatic mechanisms and advantages and disadvantages of various polymer materials, including natural, synthetic, and composite polymer hemostatic materials. We further focus on the design strategies, properties, and characterization of hemostatic materials, along with their applications in different organs. Finally, challenges and prospects for the application of hemostatic polymeric materials are summarized and discussed. We believe that this review can provide a reference for related research on hemostatic materials, contributing to the further development of polymer hemostatic materials.

Abstract
The present study describes the preparation of woven silk fabric (WSF) and poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) hydrogel composite reinforced artificial heart valve (SPAHV). Interestingly, the longitudinal and latitudinal elastic modulus of the SPAHV composite can achieve at 54.08 ± 3.29 MPa and 23.96 ± 2.18 MPa, respectively, while its volume/mass swelling ratio and water permeability was 1.9 %/2.8 % and 3 mL/(cm2∙min), respectively, revealing remarkable anisotropic mechanical properties, low water swelling property and water permeability. The in vitro & in vivo biocompatibility and anti-calcification ability of SPAHV were further examined using L929 mouse fibroblasts and Sprague Dawley (SD) male rat model under 8 weeks of subcutaneous implantation. The expression of pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α and anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 was determined by immunohistochemical staining, as well as the H&E staining and alizarin red staining were accessed. The results showed that the composites possess better biocompatibility, resistance to degradation and anti-calcification ability compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Thus, the SPAHV composite with robust mechanical properties and biocompatibility has potential application for artificial heart valves.

Abstract
Surgical threads are of great importance to prevent wound infection and accelerate tissue healing in surgical treatment. Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) and chitosan (CS) are attracting increasing attention to be employed as biomedicine materials due to their nontoxicity, cytocompatibility, and biodegradability. However, a robust and absorbable cellulose-based surgical thread has not been explored. Therefore, in this work, a bioinspired CNF/CS composite thread containing 5% cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) by the mass of CS was prepared, and the obtained CNF/CS-5C thread exhibited excellent mechanical properties and low swelling ratio in water due to the high cross-link degree. Especially, the tensile strength (1877 ± 107 MPa) of this thread was much higher than that of most reported CNF-based threads. Meanwhile, compared with commercial silk and Vicryl surgical threads, the CNF/CS-5C thread exhibited better in vitro cytocompatibility toward endothelial and fibroblast cells and lower inflammatory response in vivo to subcutaneous tissues of rats. In addition, the obtained thread could be regarded as a promising absorbable suture, which exhibited excellent wound healing performances in vivo. Therefore, the prepared absorbable thread will open a new window to prepare novel and advanced cellulose-based threads for medical applications.

Abstract
Envisage a world where discarded electrical/electronic devices and single-use consumables can dematerialize and lapse into the environment after the end-of-useful life without constituting health and environmental burdens. As available resources are consumed and human activities build up wastes, there is an urgency for the consolidation of efforts and strategies in meeting current materials needs while assuaging the concomitant negative impacts of conventional materials exploration, usage, and disposal. Hence, the emerging field of transient technology (Green Technology), rooted in eco-design and closing the material loop toward a friendlier and sustainable materials system, holds enormous possibilities for assuaging current challenges in materials usage and disposability. The core requirements for transient materials are anchored on meeting multicomponent functionality, low-cost production, simplicity in disposability, flexibility in materials fabrication and design, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and environmental benignity. In this regard, biorenewables such as cellulose-based materials have demonstrated capacity as promising platforms to fabricate scalable, renewable, greener, and efficient materials and devices such as membranes, sensors, display units (for example, OLEDs), and so on. This work critically reviews the recent progress of nanocellulosic materials in transient technologies toward mitigating current environmental challenges resulting from traditional material exploration, usage, and disposal. While spotlighting important fundamental properties and functions in the material selection toward practicability and identifying current difficulties, we propose crucial research directions in advancing transient technology and cellulose-based materials in closing the loop for conventional materials and sustainability.

Abstract
Multicomponent self-assembly is an emerging approach in peptide nanotechnology to develop nanomaterials with superior physical and biological properties. Inspired by the multicomponent nature of the native extracellular matrix (ECM) and the well-established advantages of co-assembly in the field of nanotechnology, we have attempted to explore the noncovalent interactions among the sugar and peptide-based biomolecular building blocks as an approach to design and develop advanced tissue scaffolds. We utilized TEMPO-oxidized nanofibrillar cellulose (TO-NFC) and a short ionic complementary peptide, Nap-FEFK, to fabricate highly tunable supramolecular hydrogels. The differential doping of the peptide into the TO-NFC hydrogel was observed to tune the surface hydrophobicity, microporosity, and mechanical stiffness of the scaffold. Interestingly, a differential cellular response was observed toward composite scaffolds with a variable ratio of TO-NFC versus Nap-FEFK. Composite scaffolds having a 10:1 (w/w) ratio of TO-NFC and the Nap-FEFK peptide showed enhanced cellular survival and proliferation under two-dimensional cell culture conditions. More interestingly, the cellular proliferation on the 10:1 matrix was found to be similar to that of Matrigel in three-dimensional culture conditions, which clearly indicated the potential of these hydrogels in advanced tissue engineering applications. Additionally, these composite hydrogels did not elicit any significant inflammatory response in Raw cells and supported their survival and proliferation, which further emphasized their ability to form versatile scaffolds for tissue regeneration. This multicomponent assembly approach to construct biomolecular composite hydrogels to access superior physical and biological properties within the scaffold is expected to improve the scope for designing novel ECM-mimicking biomaterials for regenerative medicine.

Abstract
With the increasing demand for wound healing around the world, the level of medical equipment is also increasing, but sutures are still the preferred medical equipment for medical personnel to solve wound closures. Compared with the traditional sutures, the nanofiber sutures produced by combining the preparation technology of drug-eluting sutures have greatly improved both mechanical properties and biological properties. Electrospinning technology has attracted more attention as one of the most convenient and simple methods for preparing functional nanofibers and the related sutures. This review firstly discusses the structural classification of sutures and the performance analysis affecting the manufacture and use of sutures, followed by the discussion and classification of electrospinning technology, and then summarizes the relevant research on absorbable and non-absorbable sutures. Finally, several common polymers and biologically active substances used in creating sutures are concluded, the related applications of sutures are discussed, and the future prospects of electrospinning sutures are suggested.

Abstract
Suture is an important part of surgery, and wounds closing after surgery remains a challenge for postoperative care. Currently, silk, linen fiber, and cotton are available in the market as non-absorbable suture biomaterials. So, there is an urgent need to develop a novel suture with advantageous characteristics compared to the ones available on the market. In present study, a series of ultra-high molecular weight chitosan with different DD and MV were prepared from squid cartilage by alkaline treatment and ultrasonic degradation. The corresponding chitosan monofilaments were prepared by a wet spinning process and were characterized as sutures. The effects of the DD and MV of chitosan on the properties of its monofilament were studied, including surface morphology, mechanical property, swelling ratio, ash content, in vitro enzymatic degradation, and in vitro cytotoxicity. According to the results, AS-85 was chosen to be the best suitable as an absorbable surgical suture, which was spun from squid cartilage chitosan with DD~85% and MV~1.2 × 106. The outcome of the present study might derive tremendous possibilities for the utilization of squid cartilage β-chitin for biomedical applications.

Abstract
The judicious configuration of a flexible radiopaque suture would be exemplary to facilitate effortless tracking and precise diagnosis of the sutured surgical site by various X-ray assisted imaging modalities and simultaneously serve as a complementary tool for monitoring the fate of the suture material during the post-operative course. A unique radiopaque cellulose based surgical suture (RF) with good mechanical properties was developed by strategically controlled mercerization and bleaching of mechanically strong natural cellulosic fibers extracted from Agave sisalana plant leaves followed by the facile dip-coating of SrO integrated polylactic acid (PLA). RF exhibited admirable straight-pull tensile strength (184 MPa) and commendable contrast enhancement (277.4%) under digital X-ray radiographic imaging which was further validated by micro-CT analysis. Further, RF has a controlled hydrolytic degradation profile favorable for surgical suturing (mass loss ∼22% in 28 days). The microporous surface architecture of RF (pore size < 10 μm) as a result of SrO-PLA coating enabled the loading of antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) deep inside the pores with a cumulative release of 24% at 28 days under physiological conditions substantiating its feasibility to be used as an efficient antimicrobial suture (CRF) that prevents possible bacterial infections at the surgical site. This has been demonstrated by antibacterial disc diffusion assay performed against two Gram-positive and two Gram-negative bacterial strains. Significantly, both RF and CRF are highly biocompatible as confirmed by MTT assay and F-actin staining. Hence, CRF would be a good biocompatible suture candidate holding good tensile properties, exceptional antimicrobial property and intrinsic radiopacity retention for a period >28 days.

Abstract
Suture materials constitute one of the largest biomedical material groups with a huge global market of $ 1.3 billion annually and employment in over 12 million procedures per year. Suture materials have radically evolved over the years, from basic strips of linen to more advanced synthetic polymer sutures. Yet, the journey to the ideal suture material is far from over and we now stand on the brink of a new era of improved suture materials with greater safety and efficacy. This next step in the evolutionary timeline of suture materials, involves the use of natural, carbohydrate polymers that have, until recent years, never before been considered for suture material applications. This review exposes the latest and most important advancements in suture material development while digging deep into how natural, carbohydrate polymers can serve to advance this field.

Abstract
Carboxylated bacterial cellulose (OBC) was fabricated by oxidation with nitrogen dioxide in chloroform/cyclohexane and employed as a carrier for sustained release of antitumor substance cisplatin (CDDP). The influence of removing water method, solvent used in the synthesis, concentration of N2O4, and duration of the oxidation on content of carboxyl groups in reaction products was established. Due to the possibility of nitrogen dioxide to penetrate into cellulose crystallites, the carboxyl group content of the OBC reaches high values up to 4 mmol/g. In vitro degradation of OBC was determined under simulated physiological conditions. The immobilization of CDDP on OBC was studied in detail. The initial burst release of the drug from the polymer was depressed. The cytotoxicity of CDDP-loaded OBC was evaluated with HeLa cells. The unique structure and properties of OBC make it a great candidate as drug delivery carrier.
