Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The dura mater is a barrier between the brain and the surrounding environment. Injuries to the dura can lead to serious complications, therefore, ensuring a hermetic closure of the dura is a primary task for a neurosurgeon. The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of applying the newly developed ViscollDURA collagen membrane (VDCM), with the commercially available Durepair (xenogeneic collagen) in animal model. METHODS A dural tear model was utilized in rats with membrane implantation using an application method. The sample size consisted of 24 rats. Group I underwent VDCM implantation, while Group II underwent Durepair implantation. Results were evaluated at 30, 60, and 90 days. The study was assessed using magnetic resonance imaging, histology, electron scanning microscopy, and immunohistochemistry. The obtained results underwent statistical analysis. RESULTS In the clinical presentation, there were no difference between groups. Histologically, Group 1 showed comparable results to Group 2. The integration process of the membrane statistically differed between the groups. In Group 1, neovascularization and tissue replacement showed better results than in Group 2. Magnetic resonance imaging differences were observed at later stages, with group 2 showing adhesion and brain deformation in the implantation area. CONCLUSIONS Both membranes showed safety and compatibility. The collagen membrane produced under sterile conditions demonstrated better regeneration with minimal inflammatory reaction. The study suggests that VDCM exhibits biocompatibility comparable to Durepair, providing prospects for potential applications in neurosurgery.

Abstract
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage is a common postoperative complication of neurosurgical procedures, with iatrogenic causes accounting for 16% of CSF leakages. This complication increases healthcare costs and patient morbidity. The focus of this review is to analyze the rates of CSF leakage of some of the most commonly used xenogeneic and synthetic dural substitutes following surgeries in the infratentorial region of the brain where surgical repair can be most challenging. A systematic literature search was conducted using studies detailing duraplasty procedures performed with nonautologous grafts in the infratentorial region in PubMed. Studies were identified using the following search terms: "posterior fossa" or "infratentorial" were used in combination with "CSF leak," "CSF leakage," "cerebrospinal fluid leakage," "duraplasty" or "dura graft." The outcome of interest was a measure of the prevalence of CSF leakage rates following posterior fossa neurosurgery. Studies that contributed data to this review were published between 2006 and 2021. The dural graft materials utilized included: bovine collagen, acellular dermis, equine collagen, bovine pericardium, collagen matrix, and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). The number of subjects in studies on each of these grafts ranged from 6 to 225. CSF leak rates ranged from 0% to 25% with the predominance of studies reporting between 3% and 15%. The studies that utilize bovine collagen, equine collagen, and acellular dermis reported higher CSF leakage rates; whereas studies that utilized ePTFE, bovine pericardium, and collagen matrix reported lower CSF leakage rates. Due to the heterogeneity of methodologies used across these studies, it is difficult to draw a direct correlation between the dural patch products used and CSF leaks. Larger prospective controlled studies that evaluate various products in a head-to-head fashion, using the same methods and animal models, are needed to conclude the relative efficacy of these dural patch products.

Possible Treatment of Myocardial Infarct Based on Tissue Engineering Using a Cellularized Solid Collagen Scaffold Functionalized with Arg-Glyc-Asp (RGD) Peptide. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222212563. [PMID: 34830447 PMCID: PMC8620820 DOI: 10.3390/ijms222212563] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2021] [Revised: 10/23/2021] [Accepted: 11/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Currently, the clinical impact of cell therapy after a myocardial infarction (MI) is limited by low cell engraftment due to low cell retention, cell death in inflammatory and poor angiogenic infarcted areas, secondary migration. Cells interact with their microenvironment through integrin mechanoreceptors that control their survival/apoptosis/differentiation/migration and proliferation. The association of cells with a three-dimensional material may be a way to improve interactions with their integrins, and thus outcomes, especially if preparations are epicardially applied. In this review, we will focus on the rationale for using collagen as a polymer backbone for tissue engineering of a contractile tissue. Contractilities are reported for natural but not synthetic polymers and for naturals only for: collagen/gelatin/decellularized-tissue/fibrin/Matrigel™ and for different material states: hydrogels/gels/solids. To achieve a thick/long-term contractile tissue and for cell transfer, solid porous compliant scaffolds are superior to hydrogels or gels. Classical methods to produce solid scaffolds: electrospinning/freeze-drying/3D-printing/solvent-casting and methods to reinforce and/or maintain scaffold properties by reticulations are reported. We also highlight the possibility of improving integrin interaction between cells and their associated collagen by its functionalizing with the RGD-peptide. Using a contractile patch that can be applied epicardially may be a way of improving ventricular remodeling and limiting secondary cell migration.

Abstract
Collagen is the oldest and most abundant extracellular matrix protein that has found many applications in food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and biomedical industries. First, an overview of the family of collagens and their respective structures, conformation, and biosynthesis is provided. The advances and shortfalls of various collagen preparations (e.g., mammalian/marine extracted collagen, cell-produced collagens, recombinant collagens, and collagen-like peptides) and crosslinking technologies (e.g., chemical, physical, and biological) are then critically discussed. Subsequently, an array of structural, thermal, mechanical, biochemical, and biological assays is examined, which are developed to analyze and characterize collagenous structures. Lastly, a comprehensive review is provided on how advances in engineering, chemistry, and biology have enabled the development of bioactive, 3D structures (e.g., tissue grafts, biomaterials, cell-assembled tissue equivalents) that closely imitate native supramolecular assemblies and have the capacity to deliver in a localized and sustained manner viable cell populations and/or bioactive/therapeutic molecules. Clearly, collagens have a long history in both evolution and biotechnology and continue to offer both challenges and exciting opportunities in regenerative medicine as nature's biomaterial of choice.

Abstract
OBJECT Observational studies, such as cohort and case-control studies, are valuable instruments in evidence-based medicine. Case-control studies, in particular, are becoming increasingly popular in the neurosurgical literature due to their low cost and relative ease of execution; however, no one has yet systematically assessed these types of studies for quality in methodology and reporting. METHODS The authors performed a literature search using PubMed/MEDLINE to identify all studies that explicitly identified themselves as "case-control" and were published in the JNS Publishing Group journals (Journal of Neurosurgery, Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics, Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, and Neurosurgical Focus) or Neurosurgery. Each paper was evaluated for 22 descriptive variables and then categorized as having either met or missed the basic definition of a case-control study. All studies that evaluated risk factors for a well-defined outcome were considered true case-control studies. The authors sought to identify key features or phrases that were or were not predictive of a true case-control study. Those papers that satisfied the definition were further evaluated using the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) checklist. RESULTS The search detected 67 papers that met the inclusion criteria, of which 32 (48%) represented true case-control studies. The frequency of true case-control studies has not changed with time. Use of odds ratios (ORs) and logistic regression (LR) analysis were strong positive predictors of true case-control studies (for odds ratios, OR 15.33 and 95% CI 4.52-51.97; for logistic regression analysis, OR 8.77 and 95% CI 2.69-28.56). Conversely, negative predictors included focus on a procedure/intervention (OR 0.35, 95% CI 0.13-0.998) and use of the word "outcome" in the Results section (OR 0.23, 95% CI 0.082-0.65). After exclusion of nested case-control studies, the negative correlation between focus on a procedure/intervention and true case-control studies was strengthened (OR 0.053, 95% CI 0.0064-0.44). There was a trend toward a negative association between the use of survival analysis or Kaplan-Meier curves and true case-control studies (OR 0.13, 95% CI 0.015-1.12). True case-control studies were no more likely than their counterparts to use a potential study design "expert" (OR 1.50, 95% CI 0.57-3.95). The overall average STROBE score was 72% (range 50-86%). Examples of reporting deficiencies were reporting of bias (28%), missing data (55%), and funding (44%). CONCLUSIONS The results of this analysis show that the majority of studies in the neurosurgical literature that identify themselves as "case-control" studies are, in fact, labeled incorrectly. Positive and negative predictors were identified. The authors provide several recommendations that may reverse the incorrect and inappropriate use of the term "case-control" and improve the quality of design and reporting of true case-control studies in neurosurgery.
