Abstract
The choice of sterilization method for hydrogels used for cell culture influences the ease of preparing the gel. We prepared interpenetrating gelatin/calcium alginate hydrogels containing 1% (w/v) alginate and 1-16% (w/v) gelatin by molding with the mixture of gelatin/sodium alginate solution, followed by the addition of calcium ions by incubation in calcium chloride solution. It is the simplest method to prepare autoclavable gelatin/sodium hydrogel. We measured various properties of the hydrogels including volume, Young's modulus in the compression test, storage modulus, and loss modulus in the dynamic viscoelasticity measurement. The gelatin/alginate hydrogel can be easily fabricated into any shape by this method. After autoclave treatment, the hydrogel was shrunk to smaller than the original shape in similar figures. The shape of the gelatin/alginate hydrogel can be designed into any shape with the reduction ratio of the volume. Human osteosarcoma (HOS) cells adhered to the gelatin/alginate hydrogel and then proliferated. Gelatin/calcium alginate hydrogels with a high concentration are considered to be autoclavable culture substrates because of their low deformation and gelatin elution rate after autoclaving and the high amount of cells attached to the hydrogels.

Carbohydr Polym 2023; 317:121085. [PMID: 37364955 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.121085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2022] [Revised: 05/26/2023] [Accepted: 05/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023]
Abstract
The management of deep burn injuries is extremely challenging, ascribed to their delayed wound healing rate, susceptibility for bacterial infections, pain, and increased risk of hypertrophic scarring. In our current investigation, a series of composite nanofiber dressings (NFDs) based on polyurethane (PU) and marine polysaccharides (i.e., hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan, HACC and sodium alginate, SA) were accomplished by electrospinning and freeze-drying protocols. The 20(R)-ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3) was further loaded into these NFDs to inhibit the formation of excessive wound scars. The PU/HACC/SA/Rg3 dressings showed a sandwich-like structure. The Rg3 was encapsulated in the middle layers of these NFDs and slowly released over 30 days. The PU/HACC/SA and PU/HACC/SA/Rg3 composite dressings demonstrated superior wound healing potentials over other NFDs. These dressings also displayed favorable cytocompatibility with keratinocytes and fibroblasts and could dramatically accelerate epidermal wound closure rate following 21 days of the treatment of a deep burn wound animal model. Interestingly, the PU/HACC/SA/Rg3 obviously reduced the excessive scar formation, with a collagen type I/III ratio closer to the normal skin. Overall, this study represented PU/HACC/SA/Rg3 as a promising multifunctional wound dressing, which promoted the regeneration of burn skins and attenuated scar formation.

Biological Self-Healing of Cement Paste and Mortar by Non-Ureolytic Bacteria Encapsulated in Alginate Hydrogel Capsules. MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13173711. [PMID: 32842561 PMCID: PMC7504608 DOI: 10.3390/ma13173711] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2020] [Revised: 07/18/2020] [Accepted: 07/20/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Crack formation in concrete is one of the main reasons for concrete degradation. Calcium alginate capsules containing biological self-healing agents for cementitious materials were studied for the self-healing of cement paste and mortars through in vitro characterizations such as healing agent survivability and retention, material stability, and biomineralization, followed by in situ self-healing observation in pre-cracked cement paste and mortar specimens. Our results showed that bacterial spores fully survived the encapsulation process and would not leach out during cement mixing. Encapsulated bacteria precipitated CaCO3 when exposed to water, oxygen, and calcium under alkaline conditions by releasing CO32− ions into the cement environment. Capsule rupture is not required for the initiation of the healing process, but exposure to the right conditions are. After 56 days of wet–dry cycles, the capsules resulted in flexural strength regain as high as 39.6% for the cement mortar and 32.5% for the cement paste specimens. Full crack closure was observed at 28 days for cement mortars with the healing agents. The self-healing system acted as a biological CO32− pump that can keep the bio-agents retained, protected, and active for up to 56 days of wet-dry incubation. This promising self-healing strategy requires further research and optimization.
