Abstract
Injury from the severe burn is exacerbated by a persistent inflammatory response. This response is mediated by cytokines and chemokines, which are released from various immune cells, including mast cells. In this study, the ability of the acellular ovine small intestine submucosa (AOSIS) to load and release of Mineral Pitch (MP) was first investigated, and it was found that the preparation of the scaffold by a modified method enables it to load and release water-soluble drugs. Then, 32 male Wistar rats were divided into four groups, a third-degree burn was created, and except for the control group, the others were treated with: AOSIS, WJ-MSCs seeded AOSIS, or AOSIS loaded with WJ-MSCs and MP. Wound sampling on the 5th day after treatment showed that the number of intact and degranulated mast cells in the treatment groups was associated with a decrease compared to the control group. In the last group, this decrease was the largest (and statically significant (p < 0.05)). Also, by measuring the level of inflammatory factors in blood serum, it was found that in the treatment groups compared to the control group, IL-10 was associated with an increase, and TNF-α was associated with a decrease. The changes in inflammatory factors were more significant (p < 0.05) in the last group. So, our results indicate that AOSIS loaded with WJ-MSCs and MP could be used as an innovative tissue-engineered device to control inflammatory condition during burn wound healing.

Abstract
Tissue engineering which is applied in regenerative medicine has three basic components: cells, scaffolds and growth factors. This multidisciplinary field can regulate cell behaviors in different conditions using scaffolds and growth factors. Scaffolds perform this regulation with their structural, mechanical, functional and bioinductive properties and growth factors by attaching to and activating their receptors in cells. There are various types of biological extracellular matrix (ECM) and polymeric scaffolds in tissue engineering. Recently, many researchers have turned to using biological ECM rather than polymeric scaffolds because of its safety and growth factors. Therefore, selection the right scaffold with the best properties tailored to clinical use is an ideal way to regulate cell behaviors in order to repair or improve damaged tissue functions in regenerative medicine. In this review we first divided properties of biological scaffold into intrinsic and extrinsic elements and then explain the components of each element. Finally, the types of scaffold storage methods and their advantages and disadvantages are examined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has been shown to facilitate vocal fold (VF) wound healing. This study was undertaken to determine whether the therapeutic efficacy of HGF could be enhanced by applying it in hyaluronic acid and alginate (HA/ALG) composite hydrogels into VFs after injury in a rabbit model. METHODS HGF was loaded into HA/ALG composite hydrogel (HGF-HA/ALG) and its in vitro release profile was evaluated. In addition, HGF-HA/ALG was injected into the VFs of rabbits immediately after direct injury and HGF or PBS was injected in the same manner into control groups. Macroscopic features were observed by endoscopy at 3 months post-injury. Functional analyses including mucosal waves of VFs and viscoelastic properties were performed by kymography following high-speed digital imaging and rheometer. Histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluations were also conducted on VFs. RESULTS HGF release from HGF-HA/ALG was sustained for up to 3 weeks. Rabbits treated with HGF-HA/ALG showed improved mucosal vibrations and VF viscoelastic properties as compared with the PBS and HGF controls. Histopathological staining revealed HGF-HA/ALG treated VFs showed less fibrosis than PBS and HGF controls, and immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated amounts of type I collagen and fibronectin were lower in HGF-HA/ALG treated animals than in PBS and HGF controls at 3 months post-injury. CONCLUSION HGF containing HA/ALG hydrogel enhanced healing in our rabbit model of VF injury.

Abstract
Liver cirrhosis and its complications, including esophageal and gastric variceal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, and ascites, can cause serious harm to human health. Therefore, treatment of liver fibrosis is key to the prevention and treatment of liver cirrhosis. In order to treat liver fibrosis to reduce human suffering, medical experts and scholars have performed many clinical and animal studies to find safe, efficient and reliable drugs to slow the progression of hepatic fibrosis and even reverse the liver function. This review introduces the definition of liver fibrosis in China and other countries, discusses the effect of coagulation on the process of liver fibrosis and various anticoagulation therapies for liver fibrosis, and summarizes the advantages, disadvantages, and side effects of different anticoagulants in the prevention and treatment of liver fibrosis.

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

Abstract
A biomaterial derived from porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) was used in smart drug delivery and tissue remodeling. SIS suspensions were easily formulated by simple mixing with the drug of choice and formed an in situ gel upon injection into tissues, enabling them to act as protein drug depots. This study was conducted to determine whether functional remodeling of an injured vocal fold (VF) could be achieved by hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-containing SIS in situ-forming gel after VF injury in a rabbit model. To accomplish this, we loaded HGF in SIS suspensions and observed a gradual, sustained release of HGF for at least 21 days in vitro. Evaluation of the in vivo efficacy demonstrated that the HGF and HGF-loaded SIS treated VFs showed improved mucosal healing when compared with the PBS-injected VFs. Histopathological evaluations revealed that treatment with the HGF/SIS group alone successfully ameliorated the deposition of type I collagen and increased synthesis of hyaluronic acids relative to the PBS group at three months post-injury. Functional analyses showed that the HGF/SIS group prevented deterioration of mucosal vibration and induced significant improvement in the mean viscoelastic modulus, but that other groups failed to achieve functional rescue of VF biomechanics. Additionally, the VF oscillation in the HGF/SIS group was superior to that in the HGF group. The results of this study suggest that SIS in situ gel has the potential for use as an HGF delivery carrier for enhancement of wound healing and improvement of functional remodeling following VF injury.

Abstract
A bovine acellular scaffold was found to facilitate tissue remodeling in a rat model of vocal fold injury, whereas hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has been shown to have an antiscarring effect in the larynx. This study examined the loading and release kinetics of HGF in vitro, and the potential of the acellular scaffold as a timed-release system for the delivery of HGF in vivo. Bilateral wounds were created in the posterior vocal folds of 20 rats, with HGF-loaded acellular scaffolds implanted into the wounds unilaterally, and scaffolds without HGF implanted into the contralateral vocal folds as control. The rats were humanely sacrificed after 3, 7, 30, and 90 days and their larynges were examined histologically and immunohistochemically. Expressions of key matrix proteins in the vocal fold coronal sections were quantified by digital image analysis. Results demonstrated a gradual, sustained release of HGF for at least 7 days in vitro, consistent with the detection of glycosaminoglycans inherent of the scaffold. In rat vocal folds implanted with HGF-loaded scaffolds, apparently fewer inflammatory cells were observed 3 days after surgery when compared to the control. The mean relative densities of collagen III and hyaluronic acid were significantly lower than those of the control 7 days after surgery. Scaffold implants were apparently degraded by 3 months in all animals, with no evidence of fibrosis or calcification. These data suggested that the bovine acellular scaffold could be promising for the exogenous delivery of select growth factors in vivo.

Abstract
The effect of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) in combination with heparin transplantation on acute liver failure mice with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) injection was investigated. CCl4 is a well-known hepatotoxin and induces hepatic necrosis. Heparin did not affect the viability of ASCs for at least 24 h. The injection of heparin into the caudal tail vein decreased slightly the activities of the alanine aminotransferase (ALT), asparate aminotransferase (AST), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in plasma. In the transplantation of ASCs (1 × 106 cells) group, there was a trend toward decreased activities of all markers. However, four out of six mice died of the lung infarction. In the transplantation of ASCs in combination with heparin group, there was also a trend toward decreased activities of all markers. In addition, all mice survived for at least the duration of the study period. In conclusion, the transplantation of ASCs in combination with heparin was thus found to effectively treat acute liver failure.
