Abstract
This study deals with preparing and characterizing polyvinyl alcohol/egg white/montmorillonite bionanocomposite hydrogels as antibacterial drug delivery systems. The cyclic freezing/thawing method was utilized to fabricate the hydrogels. To study the performance of the prepared hydrogels as drug delivery systems, amoxicillin, as a model antibiotic drug, was loaded into the hydrogels by mixing with the precursor polymer solution and gelation. From the diverse microstructural characterization techniques, i.e. XRD, SEM, AFM, DLS, and gel fraction estimation, it was possible to infer that montmorillonite has been successfully incorporated into the hydrogel network and acted as an additional crosslinker to bind the chains of egg white and polyvinyl alcohol. Scrutinizing the physical properties of the produced hydrogels demonstrated that increasing incorporated montmorillonite content adversely affects the prepared hydrogels' swelling ability and prolongs their dehydration period. Additionally, the Swelling characteristics of the hydrogels were evaluated at different pHs. Results showed an increase in the swelling ability of all samples by raising the pH value of the medium. Additionally, it was proved that both swelling and dehydration of the hydrogels follow non-Fickian diffusion. In vitro drug delivery experiments demonstrated that the cumulative fractional release of amoxicillin was adversely dependent on the amount of incorporated montmorillonite into the hydrogels and positively dependent on the pH of the release solution. It was also found that, in all examined samples, the mechanism by which the release of clindamycin happens is non-Fickian or anomalous transport.

Rezaei S, Imani R. Highly Absorbent Egg White/Carbomer-940 Hydrofilm as a Potential Diabetic Wound Dressing. Macromol Biosci 2024; 24:e2300353.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is the most critical problem in diabetic patients. Managing exudate in this kind of wound presents significant challenges in clinics. Advanced wound dressings serve as the most effective approach to managing DFU. Herein, a highly absorbent hydrofilm is presented through a combination of egg white (EW) and Carbomer-940, benefiting from the bioactivity of the EW component and superabsorption capacity of Carbomer-940. The crystallinity of samples rises due to the presence of Carbomer-940. Regarding the high water absorption capacity of Carbomer-940, the swelling ratio and water-holding capacity of samples are also improved via its incorporation of up to 1005%. In contrast, the transmission of water vapor and in vitro degradation rate decreases as Carbomer-940 powers the crystallinity of hydrofilms. Carbomer-940 incorporation in the EW structure accelerates protein release during the time, while this acceleration is partially compensated by the crystallization effect. The cell viability assay demonstrates no toxicity as well as high human foreskin fibroblast cell proliferation for the hybrid hydrofilm sample, where the cell migration is positively affected in the presence of the bioactive components extracted from the dressing. Taken together, the optimized hybrid hydrofilm could be suggested as a promising wound dressing for managing DFUs.

Abstract
Food industry is the biggest and rapidly growing industries all over the world. This sector consumes around 40 % of the total plastic produced worldwide as packaging material. The conventional packaging material is mainly petrochemical based. However, these petrochemical based materials impose serious concerns towards environment after its disposal as they are nondegradable. Thus, in search of an appropriate replacement for conventional plastics, biopolymers such as polysaccharides (starch, cellulose, chitosan, natural gums, etc.), proteins (gelatin, collagen, soy protein, etc.), and fatty acids find as an option but again limited by its inherent properties. Attention on the initiatives towards the development of more sustainable, useful, and biodegradable packaging materials, leading the way towards a new and revolutionary green era in the food sector. Eco-friendly packaging materials are now growing dramatically, at a pace of about 10-20 % annually. The recombination of biopolymers and nanomaterials through intercalation composite technology at the nanoscale demonstrated some mesmerizing characteristics pertaining to both biopolymer and nanomaterials such as rigidity, thermal stability, sensing and bioactive property inherent to nanomaterials as well as biopolymers properties such as flexibility, processability and biodegradability. The dramatic increase of scientific research in the last one decade in the area of bionanocomposites in food packaging had reflected its potential as a much-required and important alternative to conventional petroleum-based material. This review presents a comprehensive overview on the importance and recent advances in the field of bionanocomposite and its application in food packaging. Different methods for the fabrication of bionanocomposite are also discussed briefly. Finally, a clear perspective and future prospects of bionanocomposites in food packaging were presented.

Abstract
Three-dimensional microextrusion bioprinting has attracted great interest for fabrication of hierarchically structured, functional tissue substitutes with spatially defined cell distribution. Despite considerable progress, several significant limitations remain such as a lack of suitable bioinks which combine favorable cell response with high shape fidelity. Therefore, in this work a novel bioink of alginate-methylcellulose (AlgMC) blend functionalized with egg white (EW) was developed with the aim of solving this limitation. In this regard, a stepwise strategy was proposed to improve and examine the cell response in low-viscosity alginate inks (3%, w/v) with different EW concentrations, and in high-viscosity inks after gradual methylcellulose addition for enhancing printability. The rheological properties and printability of these cell-responsive bioinks were characterized to obtain an optimized formulation eliciting balanced physicochemical and biological properties for fabrication of volumetric scaffolds. The bioprinted AlgMC + EW constructs exhibited excellent shape fidelity while encapsulated human mesenchymal stem cells showed high post-printing viability as well as adhesion and spreading within the matrix. In a proof-of-concept experiment, the impact of these EW-mediated effects on osteogenesis of bioprinted primary human pre-osteoblasts (hOB) was evaluated. Results confirmed a high viability of hOB (93.7 ± 0.15%) post-fabrication in an EW-supported AlgMC bioink allowing cell adhesion, proliferation and migration. EW even promoted the expression of osteogenic genes, coding for bone sialoprotein (integrin binding sialoprotein/bone sialoprotein precursor (IBSP)) and osteocalcin (BGLAP) on mRNA level. To demonstrate the suitability of the novel ink for future fabrication of multi-zonal bone substitutes, AlgMC + EW was successfully co-printed together with a pasty calcium phosphate bone cement biomaterial ink to achieve a partly mineralized 3D volumetric environment with good cell viability and spreading. Along with the EW-mediated positive effects within bioprinted AlgMC-based scaffolds, this highlighted the promising potential of this novel ink for biofabrication of bone tissue substitutes in clinically relevant dimensions.

Abstract
Wound healing is a public health concern worldwide, particularly in chronic wounds due to delayed healing and susceptibility to bacterial infection. Nanomaterials are widely used in wound healing treatments due to their unique properties associated with their size and very large surface-area-to-volume ratio compared to the same material in bulk. The properties of nanomaterials can be expanded and improved upon with the addition of honey and propolis, due to the presence of bioactive molecules such as polyphenols, flavonoids, peptides, and enzymes. These bionanomaterials can act at different stages of wound healing and through different mechanisms, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, collagen synthesis stimulation, cell proliferation, and angiogenic effects. Biomaterials, at the nanoscale, show new alternatives for wound therapy, allowing for targeted and continuous delivery of beekeeping products at the injection site, thus avoiding possible systemic adverse effects. Here, we summarize the most recent therapies for wound healing based on bionanomaterials assisted by honey and propolis, with a focus on in vitro and in vivo studies. We highlight the type, composition (honey, propolis, and polymeric scaffolds), biological, physicochemical/mechanical properties, potential applications and patents related of the last eight years. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges, advantages, disadvantages and stability of different bionanomaterials related to their clinical translation and insight into the investigation and development of new treatments for wound healing.

Abstract
Albumin is a natural biomaterial that is abundantly available in blood and body fluids. It is clinically used as a plasma expander, thereby increasing the plasma thiol concentration due to its cysteine residues. Albumin is a regulator of intervascular oncotic pressure, serves as an anti-inflammatory modulator, and it has a buffering role due to its histidine imidazole residues. Because of its unique biological and physical properties, albumin has also emerged as a suitable biomaterial for coating implantable devices, for cell and drug delivery, and as a scaffold for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. As a biomaterial, albumin can be used as surface-modifying film or processed either as cross-linked protein gels or as electrospun fibers. Herein we have discussed how albumin protein can be utilized in regenerative medicine as a hydrogel and as a fibrous mat for a diverse role in successfully delivering drugs, genes, and cells to targeted tissues and organs. The review of prior studies indicated that albumin is a tunable biomaterial from which different types of scaffolds with mechanical properties adjustable for various biomedical applications can be fabricated. Based on the progress made to date, we concluded that albumin-based device coatings, delivery of drugs, genes, and cells are promising strategies in regenerative and personalized medicine.

Abstract
Diabetic ulcer is a serious complication of diabetes. Compared with that of healthy people, the skin of patients with a diabetic ulcer is more easily damaged and difficult to heal. Without early intervention, the disease will become increasingly serious, often leading to amputation or even death. Most current treatment methods cannot achieve a good wound healing effect. Numerous studies have shown that a nanocomposite hydrogel serves as an ideal drug delivery method to promote the healing of a diabetic ulcer because of its better drug loading capacity and stability. Nanocomposite hydrogels can be loaded with one or more drugs for application to chronic ulcer wounds to promote rapid wound healing. Therefore, this paper reviews the latest progress of delivery systems based on nanocomposite hydrogels in promoting diabetic ulcer healing. Through a review of the recent literature, we put forward the shortcomings and improvement strategies of nanocomposite hydrogels in the treatment of diabetic ulcers.

Abstract
Background The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies has increased in recent years throughout the world and in Iran. Nonetheless, there are limited data about the prevalence of their use. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of using CAM therapies among patients with pressure ulcer (PU). Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2019–2020. Participants were 299 patients with PU conveniently selected from wound clinics and healthcare settings in Shiraz, Iran. A demographic questionnaire and the International Questionnaire to Measure Use of CAM were used for data collection. The data were analyzed using the SPSS software (v. 22.0). Results All 299 participants completed the study. Their mean age was 59.56 ± 18.76 years. The most common CAM therapies used for PU management were herbal products (100%), vitamin supplementation therapy (45.2%), spiritual therapies (21.7%), wet cupping therapy (16.4%), leech therapy (9.4%), acupuncture (1.7%), dry cupping therapy (1.3%), and massage therapy (1.3%). The most common herbal product used for PU management was Pistacia atlantica gum either alone or in combination with other herbal products (15.5%). The use of CAM therapies had significant relationship with participants’ age, underlying conditions, and PU stage (P < 0.05) and the most significant predictor of using herbal products for PU was educational level (P < 0.05, OR = 5.098). Conclusions The use of CAM therapies, particularly herbal products, for PU management is high in Iran. Quality public education and close professional supervision are needed for the safe use of these products.

Abstract
Three dimensional printable formulation of self-standing and vascular-supportive structures using multi-materials suitable for organ engineering is of great importance and highly challengeable, but, it could advance the 3D printing scenario from printable shape to functional unit of human body. In this study, the authors report a 3D printable formulation of such self-standing and vascular-supportive structures using an in-house formulated multi-material combination of albumen/alginate/gelatin-based hydrogel. The rheological properties and relaxation behavior of hydrogels were analyzed before the printing process. The suitability of the hydrogel in 3D printing of various customizable and self-standing structures, including a human ear model, was examined by extrusion-based 3D printing. The structural, mechanical, and physicochemical properties of the printed scaffolds were studied systematically. Results supported the 3D printability of the formulated hydrogel with self-standing structures, which are customizable to a specific need. In vitro cell experiment showed that the formulated hydrogel has excellent biocompatibility and vascular supportive behavior with the extent of endothelial sprout formation when tested with human umbilical vein endothelial cells. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated the suitability of the extrusion-based 3D printing technique for manufacturing complex shapes and structures using multi-materials with high fidelity, which have great potential in organ engineering.

Abstract
Hydrogels prepared from polymers have been proposed for tissue regeneration and the treatment of bruise wounds. In this research work, we synthesized a Raphanus sativus L.-based wound-healing hydrogel with recognized antimicrobial activity for the healing of cutaneous lesions, drawing on its healing potential. A structural analysis was performed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, confirming the interaction between sodium alginate and Raphanus sativus L. The surface morphology was studied by scanning electron microscopy. A swelling test showed that the T-1 hydrogel capability of absorption of the solution was superior compared to other synthesized samples. It was evident that the swelling tendency decreased as the Raphanus sativus L. seed extract concentration was reduced. In a thermogravimetric analysis, T-1 shows high thermal stability over other prepared hydrogel samples, enjoying a high content of seed extract compared with all samples. The prepared hydrogels were placed on the chick chorioallantoic membrane of fertilized chick eggs, and their healing capability was examined. All seed extracts containing hydrogels showed clear curative performance as compared to the control hydrogel, whereas their healing magnitude lessened as the extract ratio decreased. It was concluded from the results of the current study that the Raphanus sativus L. plant has wound-healing characteristics.

Abstract
In this research, a novel semi-interpenetrating hydrogel network comprised of polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/tragacanth gum (TG) with adaptable mechanical, biological, and physical characteristics was fabricated for wound healing purposes. The chemical structure of the films and the surface morphology were examined by FTIR and SEM, respectively. In addition, swelling ratio, mechanical characteristics, water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), gel fraction, and degradability of the hydrogels were assessed. To evaluate their cytocompatibility, MTT assay and cell attachment studies were performed. The FTIR results showed that the vinyl peaks were eliminated during crosslinking between PEGDA chains. The results also showed that incorporating PVA into the networks increases the swelling ration and decreases the porosity. Furthermore, as the ratio of PEGDA to PVA increased, WVTR ratio, cell adhesion, and elongation of the networks increased. It was also found that, when the amount of PEGDA reduced, degradation rate of the networks decreased. The results verified the non-toxic nature of PEGDA/PVA/TG hydrogel networks. Finally, the antibacterial results demonstrated that the highest antibacterial activities against bacterial pathogens is related to the TG-containing film. Therefore, PEGDA/PVA/TG hydrogel networks can be favorable wound dressings.

Abstract
Natural egg white tis widely used as an ingredient in nutritional foods and for food processing. Due to its characteristic foaming, emulsification, adhesion, and gelation, and its heat setting, biocompatibility, and low cost, research into the application and development of egg white in biomaterials, especially medical biomaterials, have been receiving attention. The composition and characteristics of egg white protein, and the physical mixing and chemically cross-linking of egg white with other materials used to make degradable packaging films, bioceramics, bioplastics, biomimetic films, hydrogels, 3D scaffolds, bone regeneration, biopatterning, biosensors, and so forth, are reviewed in detail in this report. The novel egg white-based biomaterials in various forms and applications could be constructed mostly through physical treatments such as ultrasonic wave, ultraviolet, laser and other radiation or high-temperature calcination. Furthermore, the application and prospects for the use of egg white in biomaterials is also discussed.

Abstract
In this work, nanocomposite hydrogel drug delivery systems based on polyvinyl alcohol and montmorillonite loaded with the capecitabine, as an anti-cancer drug, were developed for oral administration. The gel fraction and swelling ability of the prepared nanocomposite hydrogels were experimentally measured. In vitro release kinetics of capecitabine in nanocomposite hydrogel drug delivery systems were studied. In vitro flow cytometry assay was utilized to exhibit the anti-cancer activity of the prepared nanocomposite hydrogel drug delivery systems against 4T1 cancer cell line. The anti-tumor efficacy of the nanocomposite hydrogel drug delivery systems was also studied in vivo on animal models. The results showed that the amount of montmorillonite incorporated into the nanocomposite hydrogel drug delivery systems could be recognized as a key parameter to adjust the values of the gel fraction, swelling and capecitabine release rate in a manner which by increasing the montmorillonite content, the gel fraction is increased while the swelling and drug release rate are decreased. The flow cytometry results demonstrated the better anti-cancer activity of the capecitabine-loaded nanocomposite hydrogel drug delivery systems as compared with the pure capecitabine. The in vivo assays indicated that the administration of nanocomposite hydrogel drug delivery systems had a significant effect on the reduction of the tumor growth in animal models as compared with pure capecitabine administration. In general, the prepared nanocomposite hydrogel drug delivery systems exhibited a suitable efficacy against 4T1 cancer cell line both in vitro and in vivo and they could be considered as promising candidates for controlled release of anti-cancer drugs in chemotherapy with enhanced therapeutic effects.

Effects and formulation of silver nanoscaffolds on cytotoxicity dependent ion release kinetics towards enhanced excision wound healing patterns in Wistar albino rats. RSC Adv 2019; 9:35677-35694. [PMID: 35528070 PMCID: PMC9074428 DOI: 10.1039/c9ra06913e] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2019] [Accepted: 10/23/2019] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Wound tissue regeneration and angiogenesis are dynamic processes that send physiological signals to the body. Thus, designing novel nanoscaffolds by understanding their surface modifications and toxicological response in a biological system with a potent anti-inflammatory response is a viable solution. In this respect, inspired by the surface chemistry, in the present work we focus on the chemical optimization of silver nanoscaffolds using surface cappings in order to understand their kinetic release behaviour in simulated wound fluids (SWF), to analyze their blood compatibility in human lymphocytes and erythrocytes and then embed them in a chitosan-agarose matrix (CAM) as a productive drug delivery system to evaluate in vivo excision wound tissue regeneration efficiency in Wistar rats. In this regard, polyvinyl alcohol capped silver nanocomposites (PVA-AgNPs) exhibit a dominant antibacterial efficacy with the sustained and controlled release of silver ions and percentage cell mortality and percentage hemolysis of only 10% and 16% compared with uncapped-AgNPs or silver bandaids (SBDs). Also, PVA-AgNP impregnated CAM (PVA-CAM) shows positive effects through their anti-inflammatory and angiogenic properties, with a nearly 95% healing effect within 9 days. The complete development of collagen and fibroblast constituents was also monitored in PVA-CAM by hematoxylin & eosin (H & E) and Masson trichrome (MT) staining. These results provide a clear insight into the development of a potent therapeutic formulation using CAM as a scaffold incorporated with surface functionalized PVA-AgNPs as a bioeffective and biocompatible polymer for the fabrication of efficacious silver wound dressing scaffolds in clinical practice. A sustained and controlled release of silver ions from AgNPs is driven by greater percentage of wound contraction with minimal cytotoxic behavioural rates and effective antibacterial activity.![]()

Abstract
Novel nanocomposite hydrogel wound dressings on the basis of egg white and polyvinyl alcohol, as matrix, and natural Na-montmorillonite clay, as reinforcing agent, were prepared and their performances on wound healing investigated in vitro and in vivo. In vitro cytotoxicity assay revealed non-cytotoxic activity and excellent biocompatibility level of prepared nanocomposite hydrogel wound dressings. The bacterial penetration assay showed the prepared nanocomposite hydrogel wound dressings are excellent barriers against microorganisms and could protect the wound from infection during the wound healing. In vivo animal study showed that the wound healing process was considerably faster in wounds covered with nanocomposite hydrogel wound dressings compared to the conventional wound dressing, i.e. sterile gauze, due to creation of a moist environment on the wound surface and faster migration rate of the epidermal cells. The mechanical properties of healed wounds with nanocomposite hydrogel wound dressings were better than those control wounds covered with sterile gauze due to their better collagen formation ability as a result of created moist healing condition as well as the presence of egg white, as a source of proteins, in their structures.
