Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Burst strength study in porcine dural models and functional and histological study in rat dural models. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the sealing strength and biocompatibility of Alaska pollock-derived gelatin (ApGltn) and fibrin sealants in disrupted dural injuries. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Disruption of the dura mater occurs during spine surgery, leading to cerebrospinal fluid leakage. Fibrin sealant is usually applied to ruptured sites; however, it lacks sealing strength. A novel biocompatible sealant composed of ApGltn was recently demonstrated to have good burst strength and biocompatibility in the porcine aorta. METHODS Ten porcine dura maters with central holes were covered with ApGltn and fibrin sealants (five samples per group). The maximum burst strength of each sealant was measured, and histological examination was performed after burst testing. Twenty-seven dura maters of male Wistar rats were used for functional and histopathological evaluations. The rats were treated with three surgical interventions: defect + ApGltn sealant; defect + fibrin sealant; defect alone (nine rats per group). Macroscopic confirmation of the sealant, hindlimb motor function analysis, and histopathological examination were performed at two, four, and eight weeks after the procedure. RESULTS The maximum burst strength of the ApGltn sealant was ~4.4 times higher than that of the fibrin sealant (68.1±12.1 vs . 15.6±8.7 mmHg; P <0.001). Histological examination confirmed that the ApGltn sealant showed tight adhesion to the dural surface, whereas a gap was observed between the fibrin sealant and the dura mater. In the rat model, the ApGltn sealant resulted in spinal function and dural histological findings similar to those of the fibrin sealant. CONCLUSION The ApGltn sealant had a higher sealing strength than, and comparable effect on dura regeneration with, the fibrin sealant.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the repair strength and the biocompatibility of Alaska pollock-derived gelatin (ApGltn) sheet for nerve repair. Cadaveric digital nerves were repaired with double suture, single suture + ApGltn sheet, single suture + fibrin glue, single suture, ApGltn sheet and fibrin. Maximum failure loads were measured (20 nerves each). Rat sciatic nerves were repaired with double suture, single suture + ApGltn sheet, single suture, ApGltn sheet, fibrin glue and resection (10 nerves each). Macroscopic appearance, muscle weight and histopathological findings were examined 8 weeks postoperatively. The mean failure load of ApGltn sheet (0.39 N) was significantly higher than that of a fibrin (0.05 N), and that of single suture + ApGltn sheet (1.32 N) was significantly higher than that of a single suture alone (0.97 N). Functional and histological assessments showed similar nerve recovery among the suture, ApGltn and fibrin groups. ApGltn sheet has potential for clinical application as an alternative to fibrin.

Abstract
Hydrogels with adhesion properties and a wetted structure are promising alternatives to traditional wound dressing materials. The insufficiency of gelatin hydrogels in terms of their adhesive and mechanical strength limits their application in wound dressings. This work presents the design and preparation of a gelatin-based hydrogel functionalized with dopamine (DA) and layered double hydroxide (LDH). The combination of DA and LDH improves the hydrogel's adhesion properties in terms of interfacial adhesion and inner cohesion. Hydrogels with 8% DA and 4% LDH attained the highest adhesion strength of 266.5 kPa, which increased to 295.5 and 343.3 kPa after hydrophobically modifying the gelatin with octanoyl and decanoyl aldehydes, respectively. The gelatin-based hydrogels also demonstrated a macroporous structure, excellent biocompatibility, and a good anti-inflammatory effect. The developed hydrogels accelerated wound healing in Sprague Dawley rat skin full-thickness wound models.

Abstract
In recent years, polymer-based tissue adhesives (TAs) have been developed as an alternative to sutures to close and seal incisions or wounds owing to their ease of use, rapid application time, low cost, and minimal tissue damage. Although significant research is being conducted to develop new TAs with improved performances using different strategies, the applications of TAs are limited by several factors, such as weak adhesion strength and poor mechanical properties. Therefore, the next-generation advanced TAs with biomimetic and multifunctional properties should be developed. Herein, we review the requirements, adhesive performances, characteristics, adhesive mechanisms, applications, commercial products, and advantages and disadvantages of proteins- and synthetic polymer-based TAs. Furthermore, future perspectives in the field of TA-based research have been discussed.

Abstract
In order to replace traditional wound treatments such as sutures, tissue adhesives with strong wet tissue adhesion and biocompatibility have attracted more attention to the applications of non-invasive wound closure. Herein, inspired by tunicate adhesive protein, a series of 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzaldehyde (TBA)-modified chitosan hydrogels (CS-TBA-Fe) were prepared by easily mixing the solutions of chitosan-FeCl3 and TBA via the Schiff-base reaction and the coordination between Fe3+ and pyrogallol groups. The gelation time was greatly shortened to only several seconds after induced even trace Fe3+. The hydrogel (CS-TBA-Fe) exhibited ~12-fold enhanced wet tissue adhesion strength (60.3 kPa) over the commercial fibrin glue. Meanwhile, the hydrogel also showed robust adhesion to various substrates such as wood, PMMA, and aluminum. The swelling ratio and rheological property can be simply controlled by changing the concentrations of chitosan, TBA, and Fe3+. Moreover, the hydrogel displayed a rapid and highly efficient self-healing ability and an excellent antibacterial activity against E. coli. The overall results show that the CS-TBA-Fe hydrogel with enhanced wet adhesiveness will be a promising tissue adhesive material.
