Abstract
Currently, there is a rising global incidence of diverse acute and chronic wounds, underscoring the immediate necessity for research and treatment advancements in wound repair. Hydrogels have emerged as promising materials for wound healing due to their unique physical and chemical properties. This review explores the classification and characteristics of hydrogel dressings, innovative preparation strategies, and advancements in delivering and releasing bioactive substances. Furthermore, it delves into the functional applications of hydrogels in wound healing, encompassing areas such as infection prevention, rapid hemostasis and adhesion adaptation, inflammation control and immune regulation, granulation tissue formation, re-epithelialization, and scar prevention and treatment. The mechanisms of action of various functional hydrogels are also discussed. Finally, this article also addresses the current limitations of hydrogels and provides insights into their potential future applications and upcoming innovative designs.

Abstract
The increasing prevalence of obesity has become a demanding issue in both high-income and low-income countries. Treating obesity is challenging as the treatment options have many limitations. Recently, diet modification has been commonly applied to control or prevent obesity and its risks. In this study, we investigated novel therapeutic approaches using a combination of a potential probiotic source with prebiotics. Forty-eight adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were selected and divided into seven groups (eight rats per group). The first group was fed a high-fat diet, while the second group was a negative control. The other five groups were orally administered with a probiotic, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (L. plantarum), and potential prebiotics sources (chia seeds, green tea, and chitosan) either individually or in combination for 45 days. We collected blood samples to analyze the biochemical parameters and dissected organs, including the liver, kidney, and pancreas, to evaluate obesity-related injuries. We observed a more significant decrease in the total body weight by combining these approaches than with individual agents. Moreover, treating the obese rats with this combination decreased serum catalase, superoxide dismutase, and liver malondialdehyde levels. A histopathological examination revealed a reduction in obesity-related injuries in the liver, kidney, and pancreas. Further docking studies indicated the potential role of chia seeds and green tea components in modulating obesity and its related problems. Therefore, we suggest that the daily administration of a pre- and probiotic combination may reduce obesity and its related problems.

The Mechanisms of the Potential Probiotic Lactiplantibacillus plantarum against Cardiovascular Disease and the Recent Developments in its Fermented Foods. Foods 2022; 11:foods11172549. [PMID: 36076735 PMCID: PMC9455256 DOI: 10.3390/foods11172549] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2022] [Revised: 08/12/2022] [Accepted: 08/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has become the leading cause of death worldwide. Many recent studies have pointed out that Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (Lb. plantarum) has great potential in reducing the risk of CVD. Lb. plantarum is a kind of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) widely distributed in fermented food and the human intestinal tract, some strains of which have important effects on human health and the potential to be developed into probiotics. In this review, we summarize the mechanism of potential probiotic strains of Lb. plantarum against CVD. It could regulate the body’s metabolism at the molecular, cellular, and population levels, thereby lowering blood glucose and blood lipids, regulating blood pressure, and ultimately reducing the incidence of CVD. Furthermore, since Lb. plantarum is widely utilized in food industry, we highlight some of the most important new developments in fermented food for combating CVD; providing an insight into these fermented foods can assist scientists in improving the quality of these foods as well as alleviating patients’ CVD symptoms. We hope that in the future functional foods fermented by Lb. plantarum can be developed and incorporated into the daily diet to assist medication in alleviating CVD to some extent, and maintaining good health.

[PMID: 35642105 DOI: 10.1111/jfbc.14256] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2022] [Revised: 04/22/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum SCS4 in alleviating oxidative stress in the pancreatic tissue of hyperglycemic mice. A total of 90 six-week-old specific pathogen-free male Kunming mice were randomly divided into six groups [normal group (NG), blank control group (MG), phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) control group (CG), SCS4 first control group (DT1), SCS4 second control group (DT2), and SCS4 third control group (DT3)]. Except the NG group, in the other five groups, streptozotocin (STZ) was intraperitoneally injected for five consecutive days to establish a hyperglycemia model; the concentration of STZ was 50 mg/kg (bw). After successful modeling, DT1, DT2, and DT3 mice were administered 0.2 ml of L. plantarum SCS4 bacterial solution (1010 colony forming unit/ml), the cellular content of L. plantarum SCS4, and the inactivated cellular content of L. plantarum SCS4, respectively. Furthermore, 0.2 ml of PBS was given to mice in the CG group for control. The levels of insulin (INS), reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and catalase (CAT) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the morphology of the pancreas was observed. The results showed that after 10 weeks of gavage treatment, the level of INS in the DT3 group significantly increased to 6.36 mIU/L compared with that in the MG group (p < .05). Meanwhile, the levels of ROS and MDA of DT3 returned to normal levels of 291.07 IU/ml and 4.29 mnol/L, respectively. The activities of various antioxidant enzymes increased. The levels of SOD, CAT, and GPx in DT3 were the closest to the levels in NG. In addition, the pathological sections showed that the degree of pancreatic tissue lesions was relatively more severe in the MG group than in the NG group. The degree of pancreatic tissue lesions was relatively less severe in the DT2 group than in the MG group, and no significant lesion was seen in the DT3 group. Our results indicated that the inactivated bacterial content of L. planetarium SCS4 was more effective in improving oxidative stress in the pancreas of hyperglycemic mice. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: L. plantarum SCS4 was separated from fermented sausage in Sichuan. This study indicated that inactivated bacterial content of L. planetarium SCS4 was more effective in improving oxidative stress in the pancreas of hyperglycemic mice. The results suggested that lactic acid bacteria from traditional foods with ability of improving oxidative damage, which can be applied in food nutrition and related fields to make people with good dietary habits and prevent the occurrence of chronic diseases such as type II diabetes effectively.
