Temperature- and pH-induced dual-crosslinked methylcellulose/chitosan-gallol conjugate composite hydrogels with improved mechanical, tissue adhesive, and hemostatic properties. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 277:134098. [PMID: 39048009 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134098] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2023] [Revised: 07/06/2024] [Accepted: 07/21/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
Gauze or bandages are commonly used to effectively control bleeding during trauma and surgery. However, conventional treatment methods can sometimes lead to secondary damages. In recent years, there has been increased interest in developing adhesive hemostatic hydrogels as a safer alternative for achieving hemostasis. Methylcellulose (MC) is a well-known thermo-sensitive polymer with excellent biocompatibility that is capable of forming a hydrogel through physical crosslinking owing to its inherent thermo-reversible properties. However, the poor mechanical properties of the MC hydrogel comprising a single crosslinked network (SN) limit its application as a hemostatic material. To address this issue, we incorporated a chitosan-gallol (CS-GA) conjugate, which has the ability to form chemical crosslinks through self-crosslinking reactions under specific pH conditions, into the MC hydrogel to reinforce the MC hydrogel network. The resulting MC/CS-GA hydrogel with a dual-crosslinked network (DN), involving both physical and chemical crosslinks, exhibited synergistic effects of the two types of crosslinks. Thus, compared with those of the SN hydrogel, the composite DN hydrogel exhibited significantly enhanced mechanical strength and tissue adhesive properties. Moreover, the DN hydrogel presented excellent biological activity in vitro. Additionally, in rat hepatic hemorrhage models, the DN hydrogel exhibited high hemostatic efficiency, showcasing its multifunctional capabilities.

Abstract
Approximately 30 % of global agricultural land is used to produce food that is ultimately lost or wasted, making it imperative to explore strategies for mitigating this waste. This study explored the potential of chitosan (CS) derivatives as edible coatings to extend food shelf life. Although soluble CS derivatives such as glycol CS are suitable coatings, their antimicrobial properties often diminish with increased solubility. To address this issue, gallic acid (GA), a polyphenol, was conjugated with CS using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide/N-hydroxysuccinimide (EDC/NHS) chemistry to create edible coating solutions. The resulting CS-GA films exhibited remarkable solubility, mechanical strength, UV-blocking properties, and superior antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Furthermore, these films exhibited a high affinity for hydrophobic fruit surfaces while also facilitating easy washing, making them an alternative for consumers who are averse to film-coated products. The CS-GA-coated fruits exhibited minimal surface spoilage, decreased mass loss, and increased firmness. Therefore, these CS-GA conjugate coatings hold significant potential as eco-friendly, edible, and washable food packaging coatings.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in females. There are many side effects due to chemotherapy and traditional surgery, like fatigue, loss of appetite, skin irritation, and drug resistance to cancer cells. Immunotherapy has become a hopeful approach toward cancer treatment, generating long-lasting immune responses in malignant tumor patients. Recently, hydrogel has received more attention toward cancer therapy due to its specific characteristics, such as decreased toxicity, fewer side effects, and better biocompatibility drug delivery to the particular tumor location. Researchers globally reported various investigations on hydrogel research for tumor diagnosis. The hydrogel-based multilayer platform with controlled nanostructure has received more attention for its antitumor effect. Chitosan and alginate play a leading role in the formation of the cross-link in a hydrogel. Also, they help in the stability of the hydrogel. This review discusses the properties, preparation, biocompatibility, and bioavailability of various research and clinical approaches of the multipolymer hydrogel made of alginate and chitosan for breast cancer treatment. With a focus on cases of breast cancer and the recovery rate, there is a need to find out the role of hydrogel in drug delivery for breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
Polyphenol hydrogels have garnered widespread attention due to their excellent adhesion, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties. Gallic acid (GA) is a typical derivative of pyrogallol that is used as a hydrogel crosslinker or bioactive additive and can be used to make multifunctional hydrogels with properties superior to those of widely studied catechol hydrogels. Furthermore, compared to polymeric tannic acid, gallic acid is more suitable for chemical modification, thus broadening its range of applications. This review focuses on multifunctional hydrogels containing GA, aiming to inspire researchers in future biomaterial design. We first revealed the interaction mechanisms between GA molecules and between GA and polymers, analyzed the characteristics GA imparts to hydrogels and compared GA hydrogels with hydrogels containing catechol. Subsequently, in this paper, various methods of integrating GA into hydrogels and the applications of GA in biomedicine are discussed, finally assessing the current limitations and future development potential of GA. In summary, GA, a natural small molecule polyphenol with excellent functionality and diverse interaction modes, has great potential in the field of biomedical hydrogels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Scaffold (SCA) functionalization with aptamers (APT) provides adsorption of specific bioactive molecules on biomaterial surfaces. The aim of this study was to observe if SCA enriched with anti-fibronectin APT can favor coagulum (PhC) and osteoblasts (OSB) differentiation. METHODS 20 μg of APT was functionalized on SCA by simple adsorption. For PhC formation, SCAs were inserted into rat calvaria defects for 17 h. Following proper transportation (buffer solution PB), OSBs (UMR-106 lineage) were seeded over PhC + SCAs with and without APT. Cells and PhC morphology, PhC cell population, protein labeling and gene expression were observed in different time points. RESULTS The APT induced higher alkaline phosphatase and bone sialoprotein immunolabeling in OSB. Mesenchymal stem cells, leukocytes and lymphocytes cells were detected more in the APT group than when scaffolds were not functionalized. Additionally, an enriched and dense fibrin network and different cell types were observed, with more OSB and white blood cells in PhC formed on SCA with APT. The gene expression showed higher transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-b1) detection in SCA with APT. CONCLUSIONS The SCA functionalization with fibronectin aptamers may alter key morphological and functional features of blood clot formation, and provides a selective expression of proteins related to osteo differentiation. Additionally, aptamers increase TGF-b1 gene expression, which is highly associated with improvements in regenerative therapies.

Abstract
The occurrence of leakage from anastomotic sites is a significant issue given its potential undesirable complications. The management of anastomotic leakage after gastrointestinal surgery is particularly crucial because it is directly associated with mortality and morbidity in patients. If adhesive materials could be used to support suturing in surgical procedures, many complications caused by leakage from the anastomosis sites could be prevented. In this study, we have developed self-healing, shear-thinning, tissue-adhesive, carbon-black-containing, gallic acid-conjugated chitosan (CB/Chi-gallol) hydrogels as sealing materials to be used with suturing. The addition of CB into Chi-gallol solution resulted in the formation of a crosslinked hydrogel with instantaneous solidification. In addition, these CB/Chi-gallol hydrogels showed enhancement of the elastic modulus (G') values with increased CB concentration. Furthermore, these hydrogels exhibited excellent self-healing, shear-thinning, and tissue-adhesive properties. Notably, the hydrogels successfully sealed the incision site with suturing, resulting in a significant increase in the bursting pressure. The proposed self-healing and adhesive hydrogels are potentially useful in versatile biomedical applications, particularly as suture support materials for surgical procedures.

Abstract
In tissue engineering, the fate of a particular organ/tissue regeneration and repair mainly depends on three pillars - 3D architecture, cells used, and stimulus provided. 3D cell supportive structure development is one of the crucial pillars necessary for defining organ/tissue geometry and shape. In recent years, the advancements in 3D bio-printing (additive manufacturing) made it possible to develop very precise 3D architectures with the help of industrial software like Computer-Aided Design (CAD). The main requirement for the 3D printing process is the bio-ink, which can act as a source for cell support, proliferation, drug (growth factors, stimulators) delivery, and organ/tissue shape. The selection of the bio-ink depends upon the type of 3D tissue of interest. Printing tissues like bone and cartilage is always challenging because it is difficult to find printable biomaterial that can act as bio-ink and mimic the strength of the natural bone and cartilage tissues. This review describes different biomaterials used to develop bio-inks with different processing variables and cell-seeding densities for bone and cartilage 3D printing applications. The review also discusses the advantages, limitations, and cell bio-ink compatibility in each biomaterial section. The emphasis is given to bio-inks reported for 3D printing cartilage and bone and their applications in orthopedics and orthodontists. The critical/important performance and the architectural morphology requirements of desired bone and cartilage bio-inks were compiled in summary.

[PMID: 37028624 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124346] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2022] [Revised: 03/21/2023] [Accepted: 04/02/2023] [Indexed: 04/08/2023]
Abstract
Malignant tumors have emerged as a serious health issue, and the interest in developing pH-sensitive polymers for site-specific drug delivery has increased. The physical and/or chemical properties of pH-sensitive polymers depend on the pH, and thus, drugs can be released by cleaving dynamic covalent and/or noncovalent bonds. In this study, gallic acid (GA) was conjugated to chitosan (CS) to prepare self-crosslinked hydrogel beads containing Schiff base (imine bond) crosslinks. The CS-GA hydrogel beads were formed by the dropwise addition of the CS-GA conjugate solution into a Tris-HCl buffer solution (TBS, pH 8.5). The pH-sensitivity of pristine CS was significantly enhanced following the introduction of GA moiety, and as a result, the CS-GA hydrogel beads swelled more than approximately 5000 % at pH 4.0, indicating an excellent swelling/deswelling ability of the beads at different pH (pH 4.0 and 8.5). The reversible breakage/recovery of the imine crosslinks in the CS-GA hydrogel beads was confirmed through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic and rheological studies. Finally, Rhodamine B was loaded onto the hydrogel beads as a model drug to investigate the pH-sensitive drug release behavior. At pH 4, the drug was released up to approximately 83 % within 12 h. The findings indicate that the CS-GA hydrogel beads have great potential as a drug delivery system that is sensitive to acidic tumor sites in the body.

Chitosan-Based Biomaterials: Insights into Chemistry, Properties, Devices, and Their Biomedical Applications. Mar Drugs 2023; 21:md21030147. [PMID: 36976196 PMCID: PMC10059909 DOI: 10.3390/md21030147] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2023] [Revised: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Chitosan is a marine-origin polysaccharide obtained from the deacetylation of chitin, the main component of crustaceans’ exoskeleton, and the second most abundant in nature. Although this biopolymer has received limited attention for several decades right after its discovery, since the new millennium chitosan has emerged owing to its physicochemical, structural and biological properties, multifunctionalities and applications in several sectors. This review aims at providing an overview of chitosan properties, chemical functionalization, and the innovative biomaterials obtained thereof. Firstly, the chemical functionalization of chitosan backbone in the amino and hydroxyl groups will be addressed. Then, the review will focus on the bottom-up strategies to process a wide array of chitosan-based biomaterials. In particular, the preparation of chitosan-based hydrogels, organic–inorganic hybrids, layer-by-layer assemblies, (bio)inks and their use in the biomedical field will be covered aiming to elucidate and inspire the community to keep on exploring the unique features and properties imparted by chitosan to develop advanced biomedical devices. Given the wide body of literature that has appeared in past years, this review is far from being exhaustive. Selected works in the last 10 years will be considered.
