Abstract
BACKGROUND Virtual Reality (VR) has been frequently used as an engaging, interactive, and effective non-pharmacological distraction technique for children during painful procedures, including burnt wound care. AIM This study aimed to evaluate the effect of virtual reality on pain and clinical outcomes during hydrotherapy for children with burns. DESIGN A randomized controlled pretest, during, and post-test research design was utilized. METHODS Sixty children with burns underwent hydrotherapy, divided randomly and assigned equally into two groups. Children of the control group received the standard pharmacological treatment of the unit to manage pain and stabilize their physiological parameters throughout the three days of study. Children of the virtual reality intervention group received all basic standard care as the control group plus VR intervention across different software content, and interaction immersion designs which took place using a cell phone coupled with the three-dimensional (3D) image glasses. Outcome measures were physiological parameters, wound healing, and Face, Leg, Activity, Cry and Consolability (FLACC) Behavioral Pain Assessment Scale. SETTING This study was carried out in the burns unit at the Plastic, Reconstructive, and Burns Surgery Center affiliated to Mansoura University, from September to November 2023. RESULTS Children in the study group had lower pain scores, more stable physiological parameters, and higher rates of wound healing compared to the control group with a statistically significant difference between both groups. CONCLUSION Using VR intervention significantly reduced pain intensity, enhanced physiological parameters and promoted the rate of wound healing in children with burns during hydrotherapy.

Abstract
The skin, being a multifaceted organ, performs a pivotal function in the complicated wound-healing procedure, which encompasses the triggering of several cellular entities and signaling cascades. Aberrations in the typical healing process of wounds may result in atypical scar development and the establishment of a persistent condition, rendering patients more vulnerable to infections. Chronic burns and wounds have a detrimental effect on the overall quality of life of patients, resulting in higher levels of physical discomfort and socio-economic complexities. The occurrence and frequency of prolonged wounds are on the rise as a result of aging people, hence contributing to escalated expenditures within the healthcare system. The clinical evaluation and treatment of chronic wounds continue to pose challenges despite the advancement of different therapeutic approaches. This is mainly owing to the prolonged treatment duration and intricate processes involved in wound healing. Many conventional methods, such as the administration of growth factors, the use of wound dressings, and the application of skin grafts, are used to ease the process of wound healing across diverse wound types. Nevertheless, these therapeutic approaches may only be practical for some wounds, highlighting the need to advance alternative treatment modalities. Novel wound care technologies, such as nanotherapeutics, stem cell treatment, and 3D bioprinting, aim to improve therapeutic efficacy, prioritize skin regeneration, and minimize adverse effects. This review provides an updated overview of recent advancements in chronic wound healing and therapeutic management using innovative approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND According to the conventional postoperative procedure after total ankle arthroplasty (TAA), mobilization is currently started after completion of wound healing. To investigate the possibility of expediting rehabilitation, this study evaluated the feasibility and safety of early mobilization of dorsiflexion after cemented TAA utilizing a modified antero-lateral approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective, observational study investigated 14 consecutive ankles that had received cemented TAA. Mobilization of dorsiflexion was started from 3 days after surgery. Postoperative wound complications including blister formation, eschar formation, wound dehiscence, peri-incisional decreased sensation were observed and recorded. Range of motion (ROM) of dorsiflexion/plantar flexion was measured. Patients also completed a self-administered foot evaluation questionnaire (SAFE-Q) and the scale of Japanese Society for Surgery of the Foot (JSSF) ankle/hindfoot score preoperatively and at final follow-up. RESULTS No postoperative complications related to wound healing were observed. ROM for dorsiflexion, SAFE-Q score, and JSSF score improved significantly after TAA. CONCLUSION Within this small number of cases, early mobilization of dorsiflexion from 3 days after cemented TAA was feasible and safe with the modified antero-lateral approach. Innovations in postoperative procedures for rehabilitation after TAA can be expected.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coagulation system is currently known associated with the development of ischemic stroke (IS). Thus, the current study is designed to identify diagnostic value of coagulation genes (CGs) in IS and to explore their role in the immune microenvironment of IS. METHODS Aberrant expressed CGs in IS were input into unsupervised consensus clustering to classify IS subtypes. Meanwhile, key CGs involved in IS were further selected by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and machine learning methods, including random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), generalized linear model (GLM) and extreme-gradient boosting (XGB). The diagnostic performance of key CGs were evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. At last, quantitative PCR (qPCR) was performed to validate the expressions of key CGs in IS. RESULTS IS patients were classified into two subtypes with different immune microenvironments by aberrant expressed CGs. Further WGCNA, machine learning methods and ROC curves identified ACTN1, F5, TLN1, JMJD1C and WAS as potential diagnostic biomarkers of IS. In addition, their expressions were significantly correlated with macrophages, neutrophils and/or T cells. GSEA also revealed that those biomarkers may regulate IS via immune and inflammation. Moreover, qPCR verified the expressions of ACTN1, F5 and JMJD1C in IS. CONCLUSIONS The current study identified ACTN1, F5 and JMJD1C as novel coagulation-related biomarkers associated with IS immune microenvironment, which enriches our knowledge of coagulation-mediated pathogenesis of IS and sheds light on next-step in vivo and in vitro experiments to elucidate the relevant molecular mechanisms.

Abstract
The determination of the time of an injury has been a major problem in forensic science due to the lack of objective, reliable and portable methods. In this study, a subcutaneous hemorrhage model in rats was established over six days, and attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics was used to determine the time since injury. Initial principal component analysis (PCA) showed variance among hematoma sites. Subsequently, spectral data were acquired to establish a dependable partial least square (PLS) regression model with predictive abilities. The root mean square error of cross-validation (RMSECV) and the root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) values produced by a genetic algorithm (GA) were 0.64 d (R2 = 0.88) and 0.57 d (R2 = 0.90), respectively. Few variables were involved in the model, and significantly better results were obtained in comparison to the conventional full-spectrum PLS model. In combination with the results of variable importance in projection (VIP) scores, all components, including proteins, nucleic acids and phospholipids, provided inferences regarding the samples at different time points; additionally, amide I and II bands represented the secondary structure of proteins and provided the largest contribution. Based on our preliminary study, the combination of swift and nondamaging ATR-FTIR spectroscopy with chemometrics could prove to be an advantageous approach for gauging the age of an injury in the forensic field.

Abstract
Inflammatory skin disorders can cause chronic scarring and functional impairments, posing a significant burden on patients and the healthcare system. Conventional therapies, such as corticosteroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, are limited in efficacy and associated with adverse effects. Recently, nanozyme (NZ)-based hydrogels have shown great promise in addressing these challenges. NZ-based hydrogels possess unique therapeutic abilities by combining the therapeutic benefits of redox nanomaterials with enzymatic activity and the water-retaining capacity of hydrogels. The multifaceted therapeutic effects of these hydrogels include scavenging reactive oxygen species and other inflammatory mediators modulating immune responses toward a pro-regenerative environment and enhancing regenerative potential by triggering cell migration and differentiation. This review highlights the current state of the art in NZ-engineered hydrogels (NZ@hydrogels) for anti-inflammatory and skin regeneration applications. It also discusses the underlying chemo-mechano-biological mechanisms behind their effectiveness. Additionally, the challenges and future directions in this ground, particularly their clinical translation, are addressed. The insights provided in this review can aid in the design and engineering of novel NZ-based hydrogels, offering new possibilities for targeted and personalized skin-care therapies.

Abstract
Cell-based therapies are essential for tissue regeneration and wound healing during aging. Autologous transplantation of aging cells is ineffective due to their increased senescence and reduced tissue remodeling capabilities. Alternatively, implanting reprogrammed aged cells provides unique opportunities. In this paper, we demonstrate the implantation of partially reprogrammed aged human dermal fibroblasts into in vitro aged skin models for tissue regeneration and wound healing. The partially reprogrammed cells were obtained using our previously reported, highly efficient mechanical approach. Implanted cells showed enhanced expression of extracellular matrix proteins in the large area of aged tissue. In addition, the implanted cells at wound sites showed increased extracellular matrix protein synthesis and matrix alignment. Transcriptome analysis, combined with chromatin biomarkers, revealed these implanted cells upregulated tissue regeneration and wound healing pathways. Collectively our results provide a novel, nongenetic, partial reprogramming of aged cells for cell-based therapies in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Loss of sweat glands (SwGs) commonly associated with extensive skin defects is a leading cause of hyperthermia and heat stroke. In vivo tissue engineering possesses the potential to take use of the body natural ability to regenerate SwGs, making it more conducive to clinical translation. Despite recent advances in regenerative medicine, reconstructing SwG tissue with the same structure and function as native tissue remains challenging. Elucidating the SwG generation mechanism and developing biomaterials for in vivo tissue engineering is essential for understanding and developing in vivo SwG regenerative strategies. Here, we outline the cell biology associated with functional wound healing and the characteristics of bioactive materials. We critically summarize the recent progress in bioactive material-based cell modulation approaches for in vivo SwG regeneration, including the recruitment of endogenous cells to the skin lesion for SwG regeneration and in vivo cellular reprogramming for SwG regeneration. We discussed the re-establishment of microenvironment via bioactive material-mediated regulators. Besides, we offer promising perspectives for directing in situ SwG regeneration via bioactive material-based cell-free strategy, which is a simple and effective approach to regenerate SwG tissue with both fidelity of structure and function. Finally, we discuss the opportunities and challenges of in vivo SwG regeneration in detail. The molecular mechanisms and cell fate modulation of in vivo SwG regeneration will provide further insights into the regeneration of patient-specific SwGs and the development of potential intervention strategies for gland-derived diseases.

Abstract
The skin's recognised functions may undergo physiological alterations due to ageing, manifesting as varying degrees of facial wrinkles, diminished tautness, density, and volume. Additionally, these functions can be disrupted (patho)physiologically through various physical and chemical injuries, including surgical trauma, accidents, or chronic conditions like ulcers associated with diabetes mellitus, venous insufficiency, or obesity. Advancements in therapeutic interventions that boost the skin's innate regenerative abilities could significantly enhance patient care protocols. The application of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is widely recognized for its aesthetic and functional benefits to the skin. Yet, the endorsement of PRP's advantages often borders on the dogmatic, with its efficacy commonly ascribed solely to the activation of fibroblasts by the factors contained within platelet granules. PRP therapy is a cornerstone of regenerative medicine which involves the autologous delivery of conditioned plasma enriched by platelets. This is achieved by centrifugation, removing erythrocytes while retaining platelets and their granules. Despite its widespread use, the precise sequences of cellular activation, the specific cellular players, and the molecular machinery that drive PRP-facilitated healing are still enigmatic. There is still a paucity of definitive and robust studies elucidating these mechanisms. In recent years, telocytes (TCs)-a unique dermal cell population-have shown promising potential for tissue regeneration in various organs, including the dermis. TCs' participation in neo-angiogenesis, akin to that attributed to PRP, and their role in tissue remodelling and repair processes within the interstitia of several organs (including the dermis), offer intriguing insights. Their potential to contribute to, or possibly orchestrate, the skin regeneration process following PRP treatment has elicited considerable interest. Therefore, pursuing a comprehensive understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms at work, particularly those involving TCs, their temporal involvement in structural recovery following injury, and the interconnected biological events in skin wound healing and regeneration represents a compelling field of study.

Abstract
The discovery of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection of gastric mucosa leading to active chronic gastritis, gastroduodenal ulcers, and MALT lymphoma laid the groundwork for understanding of the general relationship between chronic infection, inflammation, and cancer. Nevertheless, this sequence of events is still far from full understanding with new players and mediators being constantly identified. Originally, the Hp virulence factors affecting mainly gastric epithelium were proposed to contribute considerably to gastric inflammation, ulceration, and cancer. Furthermore, it has been shown that Hp possesses the ability to penetrate the mucus layer and directly interact with stroma components including fibroblasts and myofibroblasts. These cells, which are the source of biophysical and biochemical signals providing the proper balance between cell proliferation and differentiation within gastric epithelial stem cell compartment, when exposed to Hp, can convert into cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) phenotype. The crosstalk between fibroblasts and myofibroblasts with gastric epithelial cells including stem/progenitor cell niche involves several pathways mediated by non-coding RNAs, Wnt, BMP, TGF-β, and Notch signaling ligands. The current review concentrates on the consequences of Hp-induced increase in gastric fibroblast and myofibroblast number, and their activation towards CAFs with the emphasis to the altered communication between mesenchymal and epithelial cell compartment, which may lead to inflammation, epithelial stem cell overproliferation, disturbed differentiation, and gradual gastric cancer development. Thus, Hp-activated fibroblasts may constitute the target for anti-cancer treatment and, importantly, for the pharmacotherapies diminishing their activation particularly at the early stages of Hp infection.

Type of anesthesia for cancer resection surgery: No differential impact on cancer recurrence in mouse models of breast cancer. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0293905. [PMID: 38011080 PMCID: PMC10681249 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0293905] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgery is essential for curative treatment of solid tumors. Evidence from recent retrospective clinical analyses suggests that use of propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia during cancer resection surgery is associated with improved overall survival compared to inhaled volatile anesthesia. Evaluating these findings in prospective clinical studies is required to inform definitive clinical guidelines but will take many years and requires biomarkers to monitor treatment effect. Therefore, we examined the effect of different anesthetic agents on cancer recurrence in mouse models of breast cancer with the overarching goal of evaluating plausible mechanisms that could be used as biomarkers of treatment response. METHODS To test the hypothesis that volatile anesthesia accelerates breast cancer recurrence after surgical resection of the primary tumor, we used three mouse models of breast cancer. We compared volatile sevoflurane anesthesia with intravenous propofol anesthesia and used serial non-invasive bioluminescent imaging to track primary tumor recurrence and metastatic recurrence. To determine short-term perioperative effects, we evaluated the effect of anesthesia on vascular integrity and immune cell changes after surgery in animal models. RESULTS Survival analyses found that the kinetics of cancer recurrence and impact on survival were similar regardless of the anesthetic agent used during cancer surgery. Vascular permeability, immune cell infiltration and cytokine profiles showed no statistical difference after resection with inhaled sevoflurane or intravenous propofol anesthesia. CONCLUSIONS These preclinical studies found no evidence that choice of anesthetic agent used during cancer resection surgery affected either short-term perioperative events or long-term cancer outcomes in mouse models of breast cancer. These findings raise the possibility that mouse models do not recapitulate perioperative events in cancer patients. Nonetheless, the findings suggest that future evaluation of effects of anesthesia on cancer outcomes should focus on cancer types other than breast cancer.

In vivo characterization of 3D-printed polycaprolactone-hydroxyapatite scaffolds with Voronoi design to advance the concept of scaffold-guided bone regeneration. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1272348.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D)-printed medical-grade polycaprolactone (mPCL) composite scaffolds have been the first to enable the concept of scaffold-guided bone regeneration (SGBR) from bench to bedside. However, advances in 3D printing technologies now promise next-generation scaffolds such as those with Voronoi tessellation. We hypothesized that the combination of a Voronoi design, applied for the first time to 3D-printed mPCL and ceramic fillers (here hydroxyapatite, HA), would allow slow degradation and high osteogenicity needed to regenerate bone tissue and enhance regenerative properties when mixed with xenograft material. We tested this hypothesis in vitro and in vivo using 3D-printed composite mPCL-HA scaffolds (wt 96%:4%) with the Voronoi design using an ISO 13485 certified additive manufacturing platform. The resulting scaffold porosity was 73% and minimal in vitro degradation (mass loss <1%) was observed over the period of 6 months. After loading the scaffolds with different types of fresh sheep xenograft and ectopic implantation in rats for 8 weeks, highly vascularized tissue without extensive fibrous encapsulation was found in all mPCL-HA Voronoi scaffolds and endochondral bone formation was observed, with no adverse host-tissue reactions. This study supports the use of mPCL-HA Voronoi scaffolds for further testing in future large preclinical animal studies prior to clinical trials to ultimately successfully advance the SGBR concept.

Abstract
Understanding the mechanisms triggering the initiation of retinal regeneration in amphibians may advance the quest for prevention and treatment options for degenerating human retina diseases. Natural retinal regeneration in amphibians requires two cell sources, namely retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and ciliary marginal zone. The disruption of RPE interaction with photoreceptors through surgery or injury triggers local and systemic responses for retinal protection. In mammals, disease-induced damage to the retina results in the shutdown of the function, cellular or oxidative stress, pronounced immune response, cell death and retinal degeneration. In contrast to retinal pathology in mammals, regenerative responses in amphibians have taxon-specific features ensuring efficient regeneration. These include rapid hemostasis, the recruitment of cells and factors of endogenous defense systems, activities of the immature immune system, high cell viability, and the efficiency of the extracellular matrix, cytoskeleton, and cell surface remodeling. These reactions are controlled by specific signaling pathways, transcription factors, and the epigenome, which are insufficiently studied. This review provides a summary of the mechanisms initiating retinal regeneration in amphibians and reveals its features collectively directed at recruiting universal responses to trauma to activate the cell sources of retinal regeneration. This study of the integrated molecular network of these processes is a prospect for future research in demand biomedicine.

Abstract
In individuals who have sustained maxillofacial trauma, inadequate nutrition is often a sequela and may lead to complications. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between preoperative laboratory values and postoperative complications in patients with maxillofacial trauma requiring surgical intervention. A retrospective cohort study of patients with maxillofacial trauma requiring surgical repair from 2014 to 2020 was performed at a single academic Level I Trauma Center. The primary predictor variables were preoperative laboratory values including serum albumin, white blood cell count, absolute neutrophil count, and lymphocyte count. Complications related to surgical reconstruction of facial injuries represented the primary outcome variable. The patient cohort included 152 patients, of whom 50 (32.9%) were female. When controlling for all other variables, female gender (odds ratio=2.08, 95% confidence interval, 1.02-4.21; P =0.04) and number of procedures performed ( P =0.02) were the only statistically significant predictors of postoperative complications. There were no significant differences between the complication groups for age ( P =0.89), injury severity score ( P =0.59), hospital length of stay ( P =0.30), serum albumin ( P =0.86), hemoglobin ( P =0.06), white blood cell count ( P =0.20), absolute neutrophil count ( P =0.95), lymphocyte count ( P =0.23), or absolute neutrophil/lymphocyte count ratio ( P =0.09). In this study, it was found that only gender and the number of procedures performed significantly predicted postoperative complications, while preoperative nutritional laboratory values did not. Further study with a larger cohort of patients is likely required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction (MI) is a serious cardiovascular disease with a poor prognosis. Macrophages are the predominant immune cells in patients with MI and macrophage regulation during the different phases of MI has important consequences for cardiac recovery. Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) plays a critical role in MI by modulating the number of cardiomyocytes and macrophages. METHODS MI mice were generated by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery. Macrophages were exposed to hypoxia to establish a hypoxia model and M1 polarization was induced by LPS and IFN-γ. Different groups of macrophages and MI mice were treated with ALA. The cardiomyocytes were treated with various macrophage supernatants and the cardiac function, cytokine levels, and pathology were also analyzed. Factors related to apoptosis, autophagy, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were assessed. Finally, the HMGB1/NF-κB pathway was identified. RESULTS ALA promoted M2b polarization in normal cells and suppressed inflammatory cytokines during hypoxia. ALA inhibited ROS and MMP production in vitro. Supernatants containing ALA inhibited apoptosis and autophagy in hypoxic cardiomyocytes. Moreover, ALA suppressed the HMGB1/NF-κB pathway in macrophages, which may be a potential mechanism for attenuating MI. CONCLUSION ALA alleviates MI and induces M2b polarization via the HMGB1/NF-κB pathway, impeding inflammation, oxidation, apoptosis, and autophagy, and might be a potential strategy for MI treatment.

Abstract
Immunosuppressive medications, which interfere with the activation and proliferation of T and B cells, increase the risk of wound healing complications. To address it, this study aimed to validate the feasibility of drug suspending during wound healing, whilst exploring the mechanisms exerted by T cells, which are important in the wound healing process. For this, a mouse skin wound model was set up. Tacrolimus (FK506) and fingolimod (FTY720) were both administered intraperitoneally prior to wounding to inhibit the T cell activation and migration, respectively. Flow-cytometric analysis subsequently revealed the functional T cell subtypes detected during the healing process. A CD8a antibody was also administered to deplete CD8+ T cells in vivo to verify their specific function. It was found that FK506 or FTY720 administration delayed the early phase of wound healing by reducing collagen production, which was also supported by the downregulation of col1a1, col3a1 and tgfb1. However, there was no significant difference in the total healing period. Both spleen- and skin-derived CD8+ T cells were proliferated and activated after injury without intervention, whereas CD4+ T cells showed no significant changes. Furthermore, selectively depleting CD8+ T cells retarded the healing process by downregulating collagen production-associated genes (col1a1, col3a1, tgfβ1 and en1) and proteins (collagen type 1 and 3). In addition, the CD8a antibody decreased the expression of genes lta, tnfa, il13 and il13ra, and protein interleukin-13Rα. In conclusion, suspending immunosuppressive drugs during wound healing was shown to be feasible through restraining the migration of activated T cells. CD8+ T cells represented the primary functional subtype positively associated with wound healing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our objective was to determine whether the receptor CX3CR1 is necessary for the recruitment of macrophages to the cochlea in chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) and if its deletion can prevent hair cell loss in CSOM. BACKGROUND CSOM is a neglected disease that afflicts 330 million people worldwide and is the most common cause of permanent hearing loss among children in the developing world. It is characterized by a chronically discharging infected middle ear. We have previously demonstrated that CSOM causes macrophage associated sensory hearing loss. The receptor CX3CR1 is expressed on macrophages, which have been shown to be increased at the time point of outer hair cell (OHC) loss in CSOM. METHODS In this report, we examine the influence of CX3CR1 deletion (CX3CR1-/-) in a validated model of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) CSOM. RESULTS The data show no difference in OHC loss between the CX3CR1-/- CSOM group and CX3CR1+/+ CSOM group (p = 0.28). We observed partial OHC loss in the cochlear basal turn, no OHC loss in the middle and apical turns in both CX3CR1-/- and CX3CR1+/+ CSOM mice at 14 days after bacterial inoculation. No inner hair cell (IHC) loss was found in all cochlear turns in all groups. We also counted F4/80 labeled macrophages in the spiral ganglion, spiral ligament, stria vascularis and spiral limbus of the basal, middle, and apical turn in cryosections. We did not find a significant difference in the total number of cochlear macrophages between CX3CR1-/- mice and CX3CR1+/+ mice (p = 0.97). CONCLUSION The data did not support a role for CX3CR1 macrophage associated HC loss in CSOM.

Abstract
Significance: The aberrant inflammation during wound healing results in pathological scarring, such as hypertrophic scars and keloids. This adversely affects the quality of life of patients due to the disfiguring appearance as well as the symptoms of itch and pain. This review summarizes the up-to-date knowledge of the immunopathogenesis and treatment options for pathological scars. Recent Advances: With the advent of new technologies, combined with in vitro and in vivo wound models, several inflammatory cells have been shown to have both direct and indirect effects on both wound healing and pathological scarring. Critical Issues: Expansion of pro-fibrotic immune cells such as M2 macrophages, dendritic cells, mast cells, and Th2 cells leads to fibroblast transition to myofibroblasts via transforming growth factor-β1 signaling pathway. Appropriate management of such inflammatory responses during wound healing remains a critical issue during clinical practice. Future Directions: Regulating inflammation response during wound healing may be a potential therapeutic option for avoiding or reducing pathological scars.

Abstract
The limited ability of mammals to regenerate has garnered significant attention, particularly in regard to skin wound healing (WH), which is a critical step for regeneration. In human adults, skin WH results in the formation of scars following injury or trauma, regardless of severity. This differs significantly from the scarless WH observed in the fetal skin of mammals or anamniotes. This review investigates the role of molecular players involved in scarless WH, which are lost or repressed in adult mammalian WH systems. Specifically, we analyze the physiological role of Anterior Gradient (AGR) family proteins at different stages of the WH regulatory network. AGR is activated in the regeneration of lower vertebrates at the stage of wound closure and, accordingly, is important for WH. Mammalian AGR2 is expressed during scarless WH in embryonic skin, while in adults, the activity of this gene is normally inhibited and is observed only in the mucous epithelium of the digestive tract, which is capable of full regeneration. The combination of AGR2 unique potencies in postnatal mammals makes it possible to consider it as a promising candidate for enhancing WH processes.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds are of profound clinical importance. Despite immense efforts directed towards its management, it results in the development of amputations, following a diagnosis of diabetic foot. With a better understanding of the complexities of the microbalance involved in the healing process, researchers have developed advanced methods for the management of wounds as well as diagnostic tools (especially, for wound infections) to be delivered to clinics sooner. In this review, we address the newer developments that hope to drive the transition from bench to bedside in the coming decade.

Abstract
Knee injury negatively impacts routine activities and quality of life of millions of people every year. Disruption of tendons, ligaments, and articular cartilage are major causes of knee lesions, leading to social and economic losses. Besides the attempts for an optimal recovery of knee function after surgery, the joint healing process is not always adequate given the nature of intra-articular environment. Based on that, different therapeutic methods attempt to improve healing capacity. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is an innovative biophysical approach that can be used as an adjuvant treatment post-knee surgery, to potentially prevent chronic disorders that commonly follows knee injuries. Given the well-recognized role of HBOT in improving wound healing, further research is necessary to clarify the benefits of HBOT in damaged musculoskeletal tissues, especially knee disorders. Here, we review important mechanisms of action for HBOT-induced healing including the induction of angiogenesis, modulation of inflammation and extracellular matrix components, and activation of parenchyma cells-key events to restore knee function after injury. This review discusses the basic science of the healing process in knee injuries, the role of oxygen during cicatrization, and shed light on the promising actions of HBOT in treating knee disorders, such as tendon, ligament, and cartilage injuries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent evidence suggests that neutrophils are highly plastic cells that can display heterogeneous phenotypes. Low-density neutrophils (LDNs) have been described in many inflammatory conditions, and are thought to represent an immature, hyperactivated subtype of neutrophils. Neutrophils are significantly involved in the inflammatory response to myocardial infarction (MI), although we do not know the extent to which LDNs exist, or function, in MI. This study sought to determine the frequency and phenotype of LDNs in MI patients, compared to healthy subjects (HS). METHODS LDNs and normal-density neutrophils (NDNs) were isolated from the peripheral blood of MI subjects (n = 12) and HSs (n = 12) using density gradient centrifugation. LDNs and NDNs were analysed by flow cytometry to identify neutrophils (CD66b+CD15+CD14-CD3-CD19- cells) and examine neutrophil activation (CD11b, CD66b and CD15) and maturity (CD33 and CD16). RESULTS We identified LDNs within the peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) fraction of blood, and this population is significantly enriched in MI patients (1.04 ± 0.75% of PBMCs), compared to HS (0.29 ± 0.24%, p = .003). Across both cohorts, LDNs express significantly higher levels of CD66b and CD15, indicating a heightened state of activation compared to NDNs. In this study, LDNs were described as CD33highCD16low, compared to CD33lowCD16high NDNs, indicating the immaturity of this neutrophil subtype. CONCLUSIONS An increase in the frequency of hyperactivated, immature LDNs is an immunological feature of MI. We highlight a potential pathological role of LDNs in MI, which underscores the need to expand our current understanding of this subtype in MI and other cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).

Abstract
Introduction Endogenous granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), identified by its ability to support differentiation of hematopoietic cells into several types of myeloid cells, is now known to support maturation and maintain the metabolic capacity of mononuclear phagocytes including monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. These cells sense and attack potential pathogens, present antigens to adaptive immune cells, and recruit other immune cells. Recombinant human (rhu) GM-CSF (e.g., sargramostim [glycosylated, yeast-derived rhu GM-CSF]) has immune modulating properties and can restore the normal function of mononuclear phagocytes rendered dysfunctional by deficient or insufficient endogenous GM-CSF. Methods We reviewed the emerging biologic and cellular effects of GM-CSF. Experts in clinical disease areas caused by deficient or insufficient endogenous GM-CSF examined the role of GM-CSF in mononuclear phagocyte disorders including autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (aPAP), diverse infections (including COVID-19), wound healing, and anti-cancer immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Results We discuss emerging data for GM-CSF biology including the positive effects on mitochondrial function and cell metabolism, augmentation of phagocytosis and efferocytosis, and immune cell modulation. We further address how giving exogenous rhu GM-CSF may control or treat mononuclear phagocyte dysfunction disorders caused or exacerbated by GM-CSF deficiency or insufficiency. We discuss how rhu GM-CSF may augment the anti-cancer effects of immune checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy as well as ameliorate immune-related adverse events. Discussion We identify research gaps, opportunities, and the concept that rhu GM-CSF, by supporting and restoring the metabolic capacity and function of mononuclear phagocytes, can have significant therapeutic effects. rhu GM-CSF (e.g., sargramostim) might ameliorate multiple diseases of GM-CSF deficiency or insufficiency and address a high unmet medical need.

Abstract
The goal of the current study is to develop an extracellular matrix bioink that could mimic the biochemical components present in natural blood vessels. Here, we have used an innovative approach to recycle the discarded varicose vein for isolation of endothelial cells and decellularization of the same sample to formulate the decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) bioink. The shift towards dECM bioink observed as varicose vein dECM provides the tissue-specific biochemical factors that will enhance the regeneration capability. Interestingly, the encapsulated umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells expressed the markers of vascular smooth muscle cells because of the cues present in the vein dECM. Further, in vitro immunological investigation of dECM revealed a predominant M2 polarization which could further aid in tissue remodeling. A novel approach was used to fabricate vascular construct using 3D bioprinting without secondary support. The outcomes suggest that this could be a potential approach for patient- and tissue-specific blood vessel regeneration.

Abstract
There are well-established links between acute inflammation and successful tissue repair across evolution. Innate immune reactions contribute significantly to pathogen clearance and activation of subsequent reparative events. A network of molecular and cellular regulators supports antimicrobial and tissue repair functions throughout the healing process. A delicate balance must be achieved between protection and the potential for collateral tissue damage associated with overt inflammation. In this review, we summarize the contributions of key cellular and molecular components to the acute inflammatory process and the effective and timely transition toward activation of tissue repair mechanisms. We further discuss how the disruption of inflammatory responses ultimately results in chronic non-healing injuries.

Abstract
AIM Few data are available regarding the management of anorectal abscess in patients with leukopenia. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of leukopenia among patients undergoing incision and drainage for anorectal abscess. METHOD A retrospective review of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database identified patients from 2015 to 2020. Perianal fistulas and supralevator abscesses were excluded. Patients were grouped based on white blood cell (WBC) count: WBC < 4.5 cells/μl, WBC = 4.5-11.0 cells/μl and WBC > 11.0 cells/μl. The 30-day overall complications and outcomes were compared using regression models, accounting for demographics and comorbidities. RESULTS Ten thousand two hundred and forty (70.3% male) patients were identified. Univariate analysis showed that, compared with patients with leukocytosis (WBC > 11.0 cells/μl) and normal WBC count (WBC = 4.5-11.0 cells/μl), patients with leukopenia (WBC <4.5 cells/μl) had higher rates of overall (p < 0.001), pulmonary (p < 0.001) and haematological complications (p < 0.001). They also had higher rates of readmission (p < 0.001), reoperation (p = 0.005), discharge to a care facility (p = 0.003), increased length of hospital stay (p = 0.004) and death (p < 0.001). Multivariable analysis identified leukopenia as an independent risk factor for overall complications [odds ratio (OR) 2.31, 95% CI 1.65-3.24; p < 0.001], pulmonary complications (OR 5.65, 95% CI 1.88-16.97; p = 0.002), haematological complications (OR 4.30, 95% CI 2.94-6.28; p < 0.001), unplanned readmission (OR 2.20, 95% CI 1.43-3.40; p < 0.001), reoperation (OR 1.80, 95% CI 1.10-2.93; p = 0.019) and death (OR 2.77, 95% CI 1.02-7.52; p = 0.046). Discharge to a care facility and length of stay were not significant on multivariable analysis. CONCLUSION Leukopenia is associated with increased risk for pulmonary and haematological complications, readmissions, reoperations, discharge to a care facility and death after incision and drainage for anorectal abscess.

[PMID: 35902072 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2022.116506] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2022] [Revised: 07/18/2022] [Accepted: 07/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
The alveolar bone repair process may be influenced by multiple local and systemic factors, which include immune system cells and mediators. Macrophages allegedly play important roles in the repair process, and the transition of an initial inflammatory M1 profile into a pro-reparative M2 profile theoretically contributes to a favorable repair outcome. In this context, considering immunoregulatory molecules as potential targets for improving bone repair, this study evaluated the role of the immunoregulatory molecule FTY720, previously described to favor the development of the M2 phenotype, in the process of alveolar bone healing in C57Bl/6 (WT) mice. Experimental groups submitted to tooth extraction and maintained under control conditions or treated with FTY720 were evaluated by microtomographic (μCT), histomorphometric, immunohistochemical and molecular analysis to characterize healing and host response features at 0, 1, 3, 7 and 14 days. Our results demonstrated that the FTY720 group presented higher bone tissue density, higher bone tissue volume, greater tissue volume fraction, greater number and thickness of trabeculae and a higher number of osteoblasts and osteoclasts than the control group. Accordingly, the bone markers BMP2, BMP7, ALPL, SOST and RANK mRNA expressions increased in the FTY720 treated group. Furthermore, the levels of FIZZ, ARG2 and IL-10 mRNA increased in the FTY720 group together with the presence of CD206+ cells, suggesting that the boost of bone formation mediated by FTY720 involves an increased polarization and activity of M2 macrophages in healing sites. Thus, our results demonstrate that FTY720 favored the process of alveolar bone repair, probably trough a strengthened M2 response, associated with an increased expression of markers osteogenic differentiation and activity markers. Immunoregulatory strategies based in the modulation of macrophage polarization profile can comprise effective tools to improve the bone repair process.

J Neuroinflammation 2022; 19:224. [PMID: 36096817 PMCID: PMC9465898 DOI: 10.1186/s12974-022-02585-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2022] [Accepted: 08/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is the most common cause of permanent hearing loss in children in the developing world. A large component of the permanent hearing loss is sensory in nature and our understanding of the mechanism of this has so far been limited to post-mortem human specimens or acute infection models that are not representative of human CSOM. In this report, we assess cochlear injury in a validated Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) CSOM mouse model. Methods We generated persisters (PCs) and inoculated them into the mouse middle ear cavity. We tracked infection with IVIS and detected PA using RT-PCR. We assessed cochlear damage and innate immunity by Immunohistochemistry. Finally, we evaluated cytokines with multiplex assay and quantitative real-time PCR. Results We observed outer hair cell (OHC) loss predominantly in the basal turn of the cochlear at 14 days after bacterial inoculation. Macrophages, not neutrophils are the major immune cells in the cochlea in CSOM displaying increased numbers and a distribution correlated with the observed cochlear injury. The progression of the morphological changes suggests a transition from monocytes into tissue macrophages following infection. We also show that PA do not enter the cochlea and live bacteria are required for cochlear injury. We characterized cytokine activity in the CSOM cochlea. Conclusions Taken together, this data shows a critical role for macrophages in CSOM-mediated sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL).

Abstract
Current research across the globe still focuses strongly on naturally derived biomaterials in various fields, particularly wound care. There is a need for more effective therapies that will address the physiological deficiencies underlying chronic wound treatment. The use of moist bioactive scaffolds has significantly increased healing rates compared to local and traditional treatments. However, failure to heal or prolonging the wound healing process results in increased financial and social stress imposed on health institutions, caregivers, patients, and their families. The urgent need to identify practical, safe, and cost-effective wound healing scaffolding from natural-based biomaterials that can be introduced into clinical practice is unequivocal. Naturally derived products have long been used in wound healing; however, clinical trial evaluations of these therapies are still in their infancy. Additionally, further well-designed clinical trials are necessary to confirm the efficacy and safety of natural-based biomaterials in treating wounds. Thus, the focus of this review is to describe the current insight, the latest discoveries in selected natural-based wound healing implant products, the possible action mechanisms, and an approach to clinical studies. We explore several tested products undergoing clinical trials as a novel approach to counteract the debilitating effects of impaired wound healing.

IL1β/ TNFα/COX-2/VEGF axis responsible for effective healing potential of C-glucoside xanthone (mangiferin) based ointment in immunocompromised rats. Cytokine 2022; 158:156012. [PMID: 36030705 DOI: 10.1016/j.cyto.2022.156012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2022] [Revised: 08/05/2022] [Accepted: 08/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Present study was conducted to undermine the wound healing potential of mangiferin vis a vis its molecular dynamics in immunocompromised excisional rat model. 120 rats were randomly and equally divided into five groups viz. group I (Healthy control), group II (Immunocompromised control), group III (Immunocompromised group treated with silver sulphadiazine), group IV (Immunocompromised group treated with 2.5 %Mangiferin) and group V (Immunocompromised group treated with 5 %Mangiferin). Immuno compromised state was achieved following intramuscular injection of Hydrocortisone @ 80 mg/kg body weight. Study was conducted for a period of 28 days. Six animals from each group were humanely sacrificed at weekly interval till day 28th of study. Planimetric analysis, biochemical studies viz. hydroxyproline assay, total protein and DNA content, antioxidative potential through LPO assay was done along with molecular studies involving expression profiling of IL1β, TNFα and COX-2 and Immunohistochemistry of angiogenic marker i.e. VEGF was performed to undermine the pharmacodynamics of mangiferin. Histopathological studies including H&E and Masson's Trichome was also performed to study histoarchitectural changes in wound healing and reparative process following application of mangiferin ointment. Study revealed significant (P ≤ 0.05) reduction in wound area measurement and significant (P ≤ 0.05) increase in wound contraction (%) following mangiferin administration in immunocompromised rats. Hydroxyproline, DNA and total protein showed significant (P ≤ 0.05) increase in skin tissues of mangiferin treated immunocompromised rats. LPO assay revealed significant (P ≤ 0.05) reduction in mangiferin treated animals. Histopathological studies of skin tissues revealed complete restoration advocating grade III of healing in 2.5% mangiferin treated group. Higher expression and strong signal intensity of VEGF was noticed in 2.5% mangiferin treatment group along with significant (P ≤ 0.05) upregulation IL1β and TNFα on day 7 in 2.5% mangiferin treatment group with significant (P ≤ 0.05) down regulation of COX-2 in mangiferin treatment group as compared to other groups i.e. group II and III. It is concluded from our study that mangiferin facilitates wound healing through improved wound closure, organized deposition of collagen deposition and granulation matrix formation.

Photobiomodulation isolated or associated with adipose-derived stem cells allograft improves inflammatory and oxidative parameters in the delayed-healing wound in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Lasers Med Sci 2022; 37:3297-3308.

Abstract
The single and associated impressions of photobiomodulation (PBM) and adipose-derived stem cells (ADS) on stereological parameters (SP), and gene expression (GE) of some antioxidant and oxidative stressors of repairing injured skin at inflammation and proliferation steps (days 4 and 8) of a delayed healing, ischemic, and infected wound model (DHIIWM) were examined in type one diabetic (DM1) rats. DM1 was induced by administration of streptozotocin (40 mg/kg) in 48 rats. The DHIIWM was infected by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The study comprised 4 groups (each, n = 6): Group 1 was the control group (CG). Group 2 received allograft human (h) ADSs transplanted into the wound. In group 3, PBM (890 nm, 80 Hz, 0.2 J/cm2) was emitted, and in group 4, a combination of PBM+ADS was used. At both studied time points, PBM+ADS, PBM, and ADS significantly decreased inflammatory cell count (p < 0.05) and increased granulation tissue formation compared to CG (p < 0.05). Similarly, there were lower inflammatory cells, as well as higher granulation tissue in the PBM+ADS compared to those of alone PBM and ADS (all, p < 0.001). At both studied time points, the GE of catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) was remarkably higher in all treatment groups than in CG (p < 0.05). Concomitantly, the outcomes of the PBM+ADS group were higher than the single effects of PBM and ADS (p < 0.05). On day 8, the GE of NADPH oxidase (NOX) 1 and NOX4 was substantially less in the PBM+ADS than in the other groups (p < 0.05). PBM+ADS, PBM, and ADS treatments significantly accelerated the inflammatory and proliferative stages of wound healing in a DIIWHM with MRSA in DM1 rats by decreasing the inflammatory response, and NOX1 and 4 as well; and also increasing granulation tissue formation and SOD and CAT. The associated treatment of PBM+ADS was more effective than the individual impacts of alone PBM and ADS because of the additive anti-inflammatory and proliferative effects of PBM plus ADS treatments.

Neuroinflammatory Gene Expression Analysis Reveals Pathways of Interest as Potential Targets to Improve the Recording Performance of Intracortical Microelectrodes. Cells 2022; 11:2348.

Abstract
Intracortical microelectrodes are a critical component of brain-machine interface (BMI) systems. The recording performance of intracortical microelectrodes used for both basic neuroscience research and clinical applications of BMIs decreases over time, limiting the utility of the devices. The neuroinflammatory response to the microelectrode has been identified as a significant contributing factor to its performance. Traditionally, pathological assessment has been limited to a dozen or so known neuroinflammatory proteins, and only a few groups have begun to explore changes in gene expression following microelectrode implantation. Our initial characterization of gene expression profiles of the neuroinflammatory response to mice implanted with non-functional intracortical probes revealed many upregulated genes that could inform future therapeutic targets. Emphasis was placed on the most significant gene expression changes and genes involved in multiple innate immune sets, including Cd14, C3, Itgam, and Irak4. In previous studies, inhibition of Cluster of Differentiation 14 (Cd14) improved microelectrode performance for up to two weeks after electrode implantation, suggesting CD14 can be explored as a potential therapeutic target. However, all measures of improvements in signal quality and electrode performance lost statistical significance after two weeks. Therefore, the current study investigated the expression of genes in the neuroinflammatory pathway at the tissue-microelectrode interface in Cd14-/- mice to understand better how Cd14 inhibition was connected to temporary improvements in recording quality over the initial 2-weeks post-surgery, allowing for the identification of potential co-therapeutic targets that may work synergistically with or after CD14 inhibition to improve microelectrode performance.

Abstract
Besides their primary role in hemostasis, platelets contain a plethora of immunomodulatory molecules that profoundly affect the entire process of wound repair. Therefore, platelet derivatives, such as platelet-rich plasma or platelet lysate, have been widely employed with promising results in the treatment of chronic wounds. Platelet derivatives provide growth factors, cytokines, and chemokines targeting resident and immigrated cells belonging to the innate and adaptive immune system. The recruitment and activation of neutrophils and macrophages is critical for pathogen clearance in the early phase of wound repair. The inflammatory response begins with the release of cytokines, such as TGF-β, aimed at damping excessive inflammation and promoting the regenerative phase of wound healing. Dysregulation of the immune system during the wound healing process leads to persistent inflammation and delayed healing, which ultimately result in chronic wound. In this review, we summarize the role of the different immune cells involved in wound healing, particularly emphasizing the function of platelet and platelet derivatives in orchestrating the immunological response.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are one of the most prevalent complications associated with diabetes mellitus. DFUs are chronic injuries that often lead to non-traumatic lower extremity amputations, due to persistent infection and other ulcer-related side effects. Moreover, these complications represent a significant economic burden for the healthcare system, as expensive medical interventions are required. In addition to this, the clinical treatments that are currently available have only proven moderately effective, evidencing a great need to develop novel strategies for the improved treatment of DFUs. Hydrogels are three-dimensional systems that can be fabricated from natural and/or synthetic polymers. Due to their unique versatility, tunability, and hydrophilic properties, these materials have been extensively studied for different types of biomedical applications, including drug delivery and tissue engineering applications. Therefore, this review paper addresses the most recent advances in hydrogel wound dressings for effective DFU treatment, providing an overview of current perspectives and challenges in this research field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND ADNP is essential for embryonic development. As such, de novo ADNP mutations lead to an intractable autism/intellectual disability syndrome requiring investigation. METHODS Mimicking humans, CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)-Cas9 editing produced mice carrying heterozygous Adnp p.Tyr718∗ (Tyr), a paralog of the most common ADNP syndrome mutation. Phenotypic rescue was validated by treatment with the microtubule/autophagy-protective ADNP fragment NAPVSIPQ (NAP). RESULTS RNA sequencing of spleens, representing a peripheral biomarker source, revealed Tyr-specific sex differences (e.g., cell cycle), accentuated in females (with significant effects on antigen processing and cellular senescence) and corrected by NAP. Differentially expressed, NAP-correctable transcripts, including the autophagy and microbiome resilience-linked FOXO3, were also deregulated in human patient-derived ADNP-mutated lymphoblastoid cells. There were also Tyr sex-specific microbiota signatures. Phenotypically, Tyr mice, similar to patients with ADNP syndrome, exhibited delayed development coupled with sex-dependent gait defects. Speech acquisition delays paralleled sex-specific mouse syntax abnormalities. Anatomically, dendritic spine densities/morphologies were decreased with NAP amelioration. These findings were replicated in the Adnp+/- mouse, including Foxo3 deregulation, required for dendritic spine formation. Grooming duration and nociception threshold (autistic traits) were significantly affected only in males. Early-onset tauopathy was accentuated in males (hippocampus and visual cortex), mimicking humans, and was paralleled by impaired visual evoked potentials and correction by acute NAP treatment. CONCLUSIONS Tyr mice model ADNP syndrome pathology. The newly discovered ADNP/NAP target FOXO3 controls the autophagy initiator LC3 (microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3), with known ADNP binding to LC3 augmented by NAP, protecting against tauopathy. NAP amelioration attests to specificity, with potential for drug development targeting accessible biomarkers.

Abstract
Natural hydrogels are growing in interest as a priority for wound healing. Plant polysaccharides have a variety of biological pharmacological activities, and chitosan hydrogels have proven strong antimicrobial effects, but hydrogels prepared with polysaccharides alone have certain deficiencies. Polysaccharides from flowers of Lonicera japonica Thunb. (LP) and the aerial parts of Mentha canadensis L. (MP) were extracted and oxidized by sodium periodate (NaIO4) and then cross-linked with oxidized-carboxymethylated chitosan (O-CCS) to develop oxidized plant- polysaccharides-chitosan hydrogels (OPHs). SEM observation showed that OPHs had porous interior structures with interconnecting pores. The OPHs showed good swelling, water-retention ability, blood coagulation, cytocompatibility properties, and low cytotoxicity (classed as grade 1 according to United States Pharmacopoeia), which met the requirements for wound dressings. Then the cutaneous wound-healing effect was evaluated in BALB/C mice model, after 7 days treatment, the wound-closure rate of OPHs groups were all greater than 50%, and after 14 days, all were greater than 90%, while the value of the control group was only 72.6%. Of them, OPH-2 and OPH-3 were more favorable to the wound-healing process, as the promotion was more significant. The plant polysaccharides and CS-based hydrogel should be a candidate for cutaneous wound dressings.

Abstract
Delayed healing of traumatic wounds often stems from a dysregulated immune response initiated or exacerbated by existing comorbidities, multiple tissue injury or wound contamination. Over decades, approaches towards alleviating wound inflammation have been centered on interventions capable of a collective dampening of various inflammatory factors and/or cells. However, a progressive understanding of immune physiology has rendered deeper knowledge on the dynamic interplay of secreted factors and effector cells following an acute injury. There is a wide body of literature, both in vitro and in vivo, abstracted on the immunomodulatory approaches to control inflammation. Recently, targeted modulation of the immune response via biotechnological approaches and biomaterials has gained attention as a means to restore the pro-healing phenotype and promote tissue regeneration. In order to fully realize the potential of these approaches in traumatic wounds, a critical and nuanced understanding of the relationships between immune dysregulation and healing outcomes is needed. This review provides an insight on paradigm shift towards interventional approaches to control exacerbated immune response following a traumatic injury from an agonistic to a targeted path. We address such a need by (1) providing a targeted discussion of the wound healing processes to assist in the identification of novel therapeutic targets and (2) highlighting emerging technologies and interventions that utilize an immunoengineering-based approach. In addition, we have underscored the importance of immune engineering as an emerging tool to provide precision medicine as an option to modulate acute immune response following a traumatic injury. Finally, an overview is provided on how an intervention can follow through a successful clinical application and regulatory pathway following laboratory and animal model evaluation.

M2 macrophagy-derived exosomal miRNA-26a-5p induces osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells. J Orthop Surg Res 2022; 17:137. [PMID: 35246197 PMCID: PMC8895825 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-022-03029-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2021] [Accepted: 02/18/2022] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells have always been a heated research topic in bone tissue regeneration and repair because of their self-renewal and multi-differentiation potential. A large number of studies have been focused on finding the inducing factors that will promote the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Previous studies have shown that macrophage exosomes or miRNA-26a-5p can make it work, but the function of this kind of substance on cell osteogenic differentiation has not been public. METHODS M2 macrophages are obtained from IL-4 polarized bone marrow-derived macrophages. Exosomes were isolated from the supernatant of M2 macrophages and identified via transmission electron microscopy (TEM), western blotting, and DLS. Chondrogenic differentiation potential was detected by Alcian blue staining. Oil red O staining was used to detect the potential for lipogenic differentiation. And MTT would detect the proliferative capacity of cells. Western blot was performed to detect differential expression of osteogenic differentiation-related proteins. RESULTS The results showed that M2 macrophage exosomes will promote bone differentiation and at the same time inhibit lipid differentiation. In addition, M2 macrophage-derived exosomes have the function of promoting the expression of SOX and Aggrecan suppressing the level of MMP13. The exosome inhibitor GW4689 suppresses miRNA-26a-5p in M2 macrophage exosomes, and the treated exosomes do not play an important role in promoting bone differentiation. Moreover, miRNA-26a-5p can enable to promote bone differentiation and inhibit lipid differentiation. miRNA-26a-5p can promote the expression of ALP (alkaline phosphatase), RUNX-2 (Runt-related transcription factor 2), OPN(osteopontin), and Col-2(collagen type II). Therefore, it is speculated that exosomal miRNA-26a-5p is indispensable in osteogenic differentiation. CONCLUSIONS The present study indicated that M2 macrophage exosomes carrying miRNA-26a-5p can induce osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived stem cells to inhibit lipogenic differentiation, and miRNA-26a-5p will also promote the expression of osteogenic differentiation-related proteins ALP, RUNX-2, OPN, and Col-2.

IL-10 Dysregulation Underlies Chemokine Insufficiency, Delayed Macrophage Response, and Impaired Healing in Diabetic Wounds. J Invest Dermatol 2022; 142:692-704.e14. [PMID: 34517005 PMCID: PMC8860852 DOI: 10.1016/j.jid.2021.08.428] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2020] [Revised: 08/06/2021] [Accepted: 08/10/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Persistent inflammation is a major contributor to healing impairment in diabetic chronic wounds. Paradoxically, diabetic wound environment during the acute phase of healing is completely different because it exhibits a reduced macrophage response owing to inadequate expression of CCL2 proinflammatory cytokine. What causes a reduction in CCL2 expression in diabetic wounds early after injury remains unknown. In this study, we report that in contrast to prolonged exposure to high glucose, which makes monocytes proinflammatory, short-term exposure to high glucose causes a rapid monocyte reprogramming, manifested by increased expression and secretion of IL-10, which in an autocrine/paracrine fashion reduces glucose uptake and transforms monocytes into an anti-inflammatory phenotype by dampening signaling through toll-like receptors. We show that IL-10 expression is significantly increased in diabetic wounds during the acute phase of healing, causing significant reductions in toll-like receptor signaling and proinflammatory cytokine production, delaying macrophage and leukocyte responses, and underlying healing impairment in diabetic wounds. Importantly, blocking IL-10 signaling during the acute phase of healing improves toll-like receptor signaling, increases proinflammatory cytokine production, enhances macrophage and leukocyte responses, and stimulates healing in diabetic wounds. We posit that anti-IL-10 strategies have therapeutic potential if added topically after surgical debridement, which resets chronic wounds into acute fresh wounds.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Platelet membrane glycoprotein Ibα (GPIbα), the major ligand-binding subunit of the GPIb-IX-V complex, binds to a number of ligands contributing to hemostasis, thrombosis, and inflammation. Binding to von Willebrand factor (VWF) initiates the process of hemostasis/thrombosis, while binding to the leukocyte receptor Macrophage-1 antigen (Mac-1) has been implicated in modulating the inflammatory response. Thus as GPIbα resides at the nexus of thrombosis and inflammation, we investigated the impact of GPIbα on radiation injury outcomes as this injury triggers both the thrombotic and inflammatory pathways. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used wild-type (WT) C57BL/6J mice and a dysfunctional GPIbα mouse model, in which endogenous GPIbα is replaced with a non-functional α-subunit (hIL-4R/Ibα), to determine whether the impairment of platelet GPIbα alters radiation response. Following exposure to 8.5 Gy total body irradiation (TBI), a series of parameters including radiation lethality, platelet-neutrophil/monocyte interactions, neutrophil/monocyte activation, serum cytokine levels and intestinal injury, were compared between the strains. RESULTS The lack of functional GPIbα resulted in higher radiation lethality, greater monocyte activation, increased levels of serum pro-inflammatory cytokines, heightened intestinal damage, and a reduction of intestinal neutrophil recovery. CONCLUSION These data suggest that loss of platelet GPIbα enhances radiation toxicity and that GPIbα-mediated interactions may play a crucial role in limiting radiation damage. Thus, a mechanistic understanding of the biological impact of GPIbα following TBI could provide crucial insights for improving the safety of radiotherapy and minimizing the deleterious effects of accidental or occupational exposure to high-dose radiation.

Abstract
Wound healing is one of the most complex physiological regulation mechanisms of the human body. Stem cell technology has had a significant impact on regenerative medicine. Adipose stem cells (ASCs) have many advantages, including their ease of harvesting and high yield, rich content of cell components and cytokines, and strong practicability. They have rapidly become a favored tool in regenerative medicine. Here, we summarize the mechanism and clinical therapeutic potential of ASCs in wound repair.

Abstract
The immune system is an extremely complex biological network that plays a crucial role in the hemostasis of periapical tissue, pathogenesis of apical periodontitis (AP) as well as periapical tissue healing. The successful elimination of microbial infections remains a significant challenge, mostly due to the ever-growing development of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens. The bacterial endurance in the root canal system contributes to features ranging from altered post-treatment healing to exacerbation of chronic periradicular immune response, that compromise the outcome of endodontic treatment. A highly effective strategy for combating infectious diseases and the associated inflammation-mediated tissue damage is to modulate the host immune response in conjunction with antimicrobial therapy. There are several medications currently used in endodontic treatment, however, they suffer various levels of microbial resistance and do not deliver all the required characteristics to simultaneously address both intracanal bacteria and periapical inflammation. Interaction of antimicrobial agents with the immune system can impact its function, leading to immune-suppressive or immune-stimulatory effects. The group of non-conventional antimicrobial medications, such as antimicrobial peptides, propolis, and nanomaterials, are agents that provide strong antimicrobial effectiveness and concomitant immunomodulatory and/or reparative effect, without any host tissue damages. Herein, we provide an overview of local immune modulation in AP and a comprehensive review of the immunomodulatory effect of antimicrobials intracanal medications applied in endodontics with specific emphasis on the antimicrobial nanomaterial-based approaches that provide immunomodulatory potential for successful clinical deployment in endodontics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Inflammation is known to negatively affect cartilage repair. However, it is unclear how inflammation influences the migration of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from the underlying bone marrow into the defect. We therefore aimed to investigate how synovial inflammation influences MSC migration, and whether modulation of inflammation with triamcinolone acetonide (TAA) may influence migration. DESIGN Inflamed human osteoarthritic synovium, M(IFNγ+TNFα) pro-inflammatory macrophages, M(IL4) repair macrophages, M(IL10) anti-inflammatory macrophages, or synovial fibroblasts were cultured with/without TAA. Conditioned medium (CM) was harvested after 24 hours, and the effect on MSC migration was studied using a Boyden chamber assay. Inflammation was evaluated with gene expression and flow cytometry analysis. RESULTS Synovium CM increased MSC migration. Modulation of synovial inflammation with TAA further increased migration 1.5-fold (P < 0.01). TAA significantly decreased TNFA, IL1B, and IL6 gene expression in synovium explants and increased CD163, a gene associated with anti-inflammatory macrophages. TAA treatment decreased the percentage of CD14+/CD80+ and CD14+/CD86+ pro-inflammatory macrophages and increased the percentage of CD14+/CD163+ anti-inflammatory macrophages in synovium explants. Interestingly, MSC migration was specifically enhanced by medium conditioned by M(IL4) macrophages and by M(IL10) macrophages treated with TAA, and unaffected by CM from M(IFNγ+TNFα) macrophages and synovial fibroblasts. CONCLUSION Macrophages secrete factors that stimulate the migration of MSCs. Modulation with TAA increased specifically the ability of anti-inflammatory macrophages to stimulate migration, indicating that they play an important role in secreting factors to attract MSCs. Modulating inflammation and thereby improving migration could be used in approaches based on endogenous repair of full-thickness cartilage defects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Recent studies have implicated the cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor, p21, in enhanced tissue regeneration observed in MRL/MpJ "super-healer" mice. Specifically, p21 is downregulated in MRL cells and similar ear hole closure to MRL mice has been observed in p21-/- mice. However, the direct implications of p21 deletion in endogenous articular cartilage regeneration remain unknown. In this study, we investigated the role of p21 deletion in the ability of mice to heal full-thickness cartilage defects (FTCDs). DESIGN C57BL/6 and p21-/- (Cdkn1atm1Tyj) mice were subjected to FTCD and assessment of cartilage healing was performed at 1 hour, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks post-FTCD using a 14-point histological scoring system. X-ray microscopy was used to quantify cartilage healing parameters (e.g., cartilage thickness, surface area/volume) between C57BL/6 and p21-/- mice. RESULTS Absence of p21 resulted in increased spontaneous articular cartilage regeneration by 3 days post-FTCD. Furthermore, p21-/- mice presented with increased cartilage thickness at 1 and 2 weeks post-FTCD compared with uninjured controls, returning to baseline by 4 weeks post-FTCD. CONCLUSIONS We report that p21-/- mice display enhanced articular cartilage regeneration post-FTCD compared with C57BL/6 mice. Furthermore, cartilage thickness was increased in p21-/- mice at 1 week post-FTCD compared with uninjured p21-/- mice and C57BL/6 mice.
