Abstract
This study focused on synthesis of innovative hydrogels with electric field response from modified pineapple peel cellulose and hericium erinaceus chitosan and gelatin based on Schiff base reaction. A series of hydrogels were prepared by oxidized hydroxyethyl cellulose, gelatin and chitosan at different deacetylation degree via mild Schiff base reaction. Subsequently experiments towards the characterization of oxidized hydroxyethyl cellulose/gelatin/chitosan (OHGCS) hydrogel polymers were carried out by FTIR/XRD/XPS, swelling performances and electric response properties. The prepared hydrogels exhibited stable and reversible bending behaviors under repeated on-off switching of electric fields, affected by ionic strength, electric voltage and pH changes. The swelling ratio of OHGCS hydrogels was found reduced as deacetylation degree increasing and reached the maximum ratio ∼ 2250 % for OHGCS-1. In vitro drug releasing study showed the both curcumin loading capacity and release amount of Cur-OHGCS hydrogels arrived about 90 % during 6 h. Antioxidation assessments showed that the curcumin-loaded hydrogels had good antioxidation activities, in which, 10 mg Cur-OHGCS-1 hydrogel could reach to the maximum of about 90 % DPPH scavenging ratio. These results indicate the OHGCS hydrogels have potentials in sensor and drug delivery system.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the effects of 3 different burn dressing treatments, including experimental, silver, and modern dressing materials, on systemic oxidative stress in rats with severe scald burns within the first 96 h. The rats were divided into five groups: a burn group (n = 10), a polylactic membrane group (n = 10), a silver sulfadiazine group (n = 10), a curcumin group (n = 10), and a control group (n = 10), consisting of equal numbers of female and male rats. In the first 4 groups, 30% of the rats' total body surface area was scalded at 95°C. The burn group was not treated. Each group was treated with group-name dressing material. The control group was neither treated nor burned. The rats were sacrificed, and blood and tissue samples were obtained at the 96th hour when severe effects of oxidative stress developed postburns. Systemic inflammatory biomarkers and oxidative stress parameters were examined. In addition, apoptosis and organ damage in liver, kidney, lung, and skin tissues were evaluated biochemically and histopathologically. When the parameters were statistically analyzed, we found that the systemic levels of oxidative stress and inflammatory damage to liver, kidney, and lung tissues were lower in the 3 treated groups than in the burn group. We believe that the dressing material's efficacy in the treatment of severe burns may be dependent on its ability to combat oxidative stress and inflammation.

Abstract
Wound healing has been a challenge in the medical field. Tremendous research has been carried out to expedite wound healing by fabricating various formulations, some of which are now commercially available. However, owing to their natural source, people have been attracted to advanced formulations with herbal components. Among various herbs, curcumin has been the center of attraction from ancient times for its healing properties due to its multiple therapeutic effects, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic, neuroprotective, and radioprotective properties. However, curcumin has a low water solubility and rapidly degrades into inactive metabolites, which limits its therapeutic efficacy. Henceforth, a carrier system is needed to carry curcumin, guard it against degradation, and keep its bioavailability and effectiveness. Different formulations with curcumin have been synthesized, and exist in the form of various synthetic and natural materials, including nanoparticles, hydrogels, scaffolds, films, fibers, and nanoemulgels, improving its bioavailability dramatically. This review discusses the advances in different types of curcumin-based formulations used in wound healing in recent times, concentrating on its mechanisms of action and discussing the updates on its application at several stages of the wound healing process. Impact statement Curcumin is a herbal compound extracted from turmeric root and has been used since time immemorial for its health benefits including wound healing. In clinical formulations, curcumin shows low bioavailability, which mainly stems from the way it is delivered in the body. Henceforth, a carrier system is needed to carry curcumin, guard it against degradation, while maintaining its bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. This review offers an overview of the advanced technological interventions through tissue engineering approaches to efficiently utilize curcumin in different types of wound healing applications.

Abstract
Bio-based drug delivery devices have gained enormous interest in the biomedical field due to their biocompatible attributes. Extensive research is being conducted on chitosan-based devices for drug delivery applications. Chitosan being hydrophobic under neutral conditions makes it difficult to interact with a polar drug of curcumin. We tended to make it polar through sol-gel synthesis and modification via PEGylation, alkaline hydrolysis, and aminolysis. Such alterations could make the chitosan-based scaffolds porous, hydrophilic, amino-functionalized, and pH-responsive. The ninhydrin assay confirmed that a successful aminolysis occurred, and the chemical interaction among the precursors was explained under infrared spectroscopy. The scanning morphology of the optimum aminolyzed membrane appeared to be porous with an average pore size of 320 ± 20 nm. The aminolyzed chitosan membrane was found thermally stable up to 310 °C, hydrophilic with a water contact angle of 23.4°, moderate flowablity, and porous (97 ± 5 %, w/w) against ethanol. The curcumin-loaded chitosan membrane expressed the UV-protection behavior of 99 %. The curcumin-loading and release phenomena were found pH-responsive. The curcumin release results were evaluated through specific kinetic models. This study could be the first report on the amphiphilic, porous, and swellable drug-loaded gelatin/chitosan membrane with pH-responsive loading and release of curcumin for potential drug delivery applications.

Abstract
Nowadays, antibiotic-loaded biomaterials have been widely used in wound healing applications. However, the use of natural extracts has come into prominence as an alternative to these antimicrobial agents in the recent period. Among natural sources, Cissus quadrangularis (CQ) herbal extract is used for treatment of bone and skin diseases in ayurvedic medicine due to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, chitosan-based bilayer wound dressings were fabricated with electrospinning and freeze-drying techniques. CQ extract-loaded chitosan nanofibers were coated on chitosan/POSS nanocomposite sponges using an electrospinning method. The bilayer sponge is designed to treat exudate wounds while mimicking the layered structure of skin tissue. Bilayer wound dressings were investigated with regard to the morphology and physical and mechanical properties. In addition, CQ release from bilayer wound dressings and in vitro bioactivity studies were performed to determine the effect of POSS nanoparticles and CQ extract loading on NIH/3T3 and HS2 cells. The morphology of nanofibers was investigated with SEM analysis. Physical characteristics of bilayer wound dressings were determined with FT-IR analysis, swelling study, open porosity determination, and mechanical test. The antimicrobial activity of CQ extract released from bilayer sponges was investigated with a disc diffusion method. Bilayer wound dressings' in vitro bioactivity was examined using cytotoxicity determination, wound healing assay, proliferation, and the secretion of biomarkers for skin tissue regeneration. The nanofiber layer diameter was obtained in the range of 77.9-97.4 nm. The water vapor permeability of the bilayer dressing was obtained as 4021 to 4609 g/m2day, as it is in the ideal range for wound repair. The release of the CQ extract over 4 days reached 78-80% cumulative release. The release media were found to be antibacterial against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. In vitro studies showed that both CQ extract and POSS incorporation induced cell proliferation as well as wound healing activity and collagen deposition. As a result, CQ-loaded bilayer CHI-POSS nanocomposites were found as a potential candidate for wound healing applications.

Abstract
Design and development of materials that couple synthetic and living components allow taking advantage of the complexity of biological systems within a controlled environment. However, their design and fabrication represent a challenge for material scientists since it is necessary to synthesize synthetic materials with highly specialized biocompatible and physicochemical properties. The design of synthetic-living materials (vita materials) requires materials capable of hosting cell ingrowth and maintaining cell viability for extended periods. Vita materials offer various advantages, from simplifying product purification steps to controlling cell metabolic activity and improving the resistance of biological systems to external stress factors, translating into reducing bioprocess costs and diversifying their industrial applications. Here, chitosan sponges, functionalized with Calendula officinalis hydroalcoholic extract, were synthesized using the freeze-drying method; they showed small pore sizes (7.58 μm), high porosity (97.95%), high water absorption (1695%), and thermal stability, which allows the material to withstand sterilization conditions. The sponges allowed integration of 58.34% of viable Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells, and the cell viability was conserved 12 h post-process (57.14%) under storage conditions [refrigerating temperature (4 °C) and without a nutrient supply]. In addition, the synthesized vita materials conserved their biocatalytic activity after 7 days of the integration process, which was evaluated through glucose consumption and ethanol production. The results in this paper describe the synthesis of complex vita materials and demonstrate that biochemically modified chitosan sponges can be used as a platform material to host living and metabolically active yeast with diverse applications as biocatalysts.

Abstract
The topical route is the most appropriate route for the targeted delivery of drugs to skin tissues for the treatment of local skin diseases; however, the stratum corneum (SC), the foremost layer of the skin, acts as a major barrier. Numerous passive and active drug delivery techniques have been exploited to overcome this barrier; however, these modalities are associated with several detrimental effects which restrict their clinical applicability. Alternatively, nanotechnology-aided interventions have been extensively investigated for the topical administration of a wide range of therapeutics. In this review, we have mainly focused on the biopharmaceutical significance of polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) (made from natural polymers) for the treatment of various topical skin diseases such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis (AD), skin infection, skin cancer, acute-to-chronic wounds, and acne. The encapsulation of drug(s) into the inner core or adsorption onto the shell of PNPs has shown a marked improvement in their physicochemical properties, avoiding premature degradation and controlling the release kinetics, permeation through the SC, and retention in the skin layers. Furthermore, functionalization techniques such as PEGylation, conjugation with targeting ligand, and pH/thermo-responsiveness have shown further success in optimizing the therapeutic efficacy of PNPs for the treatment of skin diseases. Despite enormous progress in the development of PNPs, their clinical translation is still lacking, which could be a potential future perspective for researchers working in this field.

Abstract
Curcumin or turmeric is the active constituent of Curcuma longa L. It has marvelous medicinal applications in many diseases. When the skin integrity is compromised due to either acute or chronic wounds, the body initiates several steps leading to tissue healing and skin barrier function restoration. Curcumin has very strong antibacterial and antifungal activities with powerful wound healing ability owing to its antioxidant activity. Nevertheless, its poor oral bioavailability, low water solubility and rapid metabolism limit its medical use. Tailoring suitable drug delivery systems for carrying curcumin improves its pharmaceutical and pharmacological effects. This review summarizes the most recent reported curcumin-loaded delivery systems for wound healing purposes, chiefly hydrogels, films, wafers, and sponges. In addition, curcumin nanoformulations such as nanohydrogels, nanoparticles and nanofibers are also presented, which offer better solubility, bioavailability, and sustained release to augment curcumin wound healing effects through stimulating the different healing phases by the aid of the small carrier.

Abstract
Background:
Burn injury is considered one of the critical injuries of the skin. According to WHO (World Health Organization), approximately 3,00,000 deaths are caused each year mainly due to fire burns, with additional deaths attributed to heat and other causes of burn e.g., electric devices, chemical materials, radioactive rays, etc. More than 95% of burn injuries occur in developing countries.
Introduction:
Burn injuries have been a prominent topic of discussion in this present era of advancements. Burns are one of the common and devastating forms of trauma. Burn injuries are involved in causing severe damage to skin tissues and various other body parts triggered particularly by fire,blaze, or exposure to chemicals and heated substances. They leave a long-lasting negative impact on the patients in terms of their physical and mental health.
Method:
The various methods and bioactive hydrogels, a viable and widely utilised approach for treating chronic wounds remains a bottleneck. Many traditional approaches such as woven material, conventional antimicrobial agents, hydrogel sheets, creams are utilised in wound healing. Nowadays, lipid-based nanoparticles, nanofibres systems, and foam-based formulations heal the wound.
Result:
The prepared formulation shows wound healing activity when tested on rat model. The nanofibres containing SSD help in the burn-wound healing study on Male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats. The healing effect on rats was examined by western blot analysis, digital camera observation, and histological analyses.
Conclusion:
Burn is also considered the most grievous form of trauma. Nowadays, several large and foam-based formulations are used in wound healing, which heals the wound better than previously existing formulations and is less prone to secondary infection. Recently, nanofiber delivery has piqued the interest of academics over the years because of its excellent features, which include an extraordinarily high surface to volume ratio, a highly porous structure, and tiny pore size.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Wound healing is a complex process, and selecting an appropriate treatment is crucial and varies from one wound to another. Among injuries, burn wounds are more challenging to treat. Different dressings and scaffolds come into play when skin is injured. These scaffolds provide the optimum environment for wound healing. With the advancements of nanoengineering, scaffolds have been engineered to improve wound healing with lower fatality rates. OBJECTIVES Nanoengineered systems have emerged as one of the promising candidates for burn wound management. This review paper aims to provide an in-depth understanding of burn wounds and the role of nanoengineering in burn wound management. The advantages of nanoengineered scaffolds, their properties, and their proven effectiveness have been discussed. Nanoparticles and nanofibers-based nanoengineered therapeutic scaffolds provide optimum protection, infection management, and accelerated wound healing due to their unique characteristics. These scaffolds increase cell attachment and proliferation for desired results. RESULTS The literature review suggested that the utilization of nanoengineered scaffolds has accelerated burn wound healing. Nanofibers provide better cell attachment and proliferation among different nanoengineered scaffolds due to their 3D structure mimics the body's extracellular matrix.

The Effects of Curcumin Nanoparticles Incorporated into Collagen-Alginate Scaffold on Wound Healing of Skin Tissue in Trauma Patients. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13244291. [PMID: 34960842 PMCID: PMC8707913 DOI: 10.3390/polym13244291] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2021] [Revised: 11/11/2021] [Accepted: 11/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Wound healing is a biological process that is mainly crucial for the rehabilitation of injured tissue. The incorporation of curcumin (Cur) into a hydrogel system is used to treat skin wounds in different diseases due to its hydrophobic character. In this study, sodium alginate and collagen, which possess hydrophilic, low toxic, and biocompatible properties, were utilized. Collagen/alginate scaffolds were synthesized, and nanocurcumin was incorporated inside them; their interaction was evaluated by FTIR spectroscopy. Morphological studies investigated structures of the samples studied by FE-SEM. The release profile of curcumin was detected, and the cytotoxic test was determined on the L929 cell line using an MTT assay. Analysis of tissue wound healing was performed by H&E staining. Nanocurcumin was spherical, its average particle size was 45 nm, and the structure of COL/ALG scaffold was visible. The cell viability of samples was recorded in cells after 24 h incubation. Results of in vivo wound healing remarkably showed CUR-COL/ALG scaffold at about 90% (p < 0.001), which is better than that of COL/ALG, 80% (p < 0.001), and the control 73.4% (p < 0.01) groups at 14 days/ The results of the samples’ FTIR indicated that nanocurcumin was well-entrapped into the scaffold, which led to improving the wound-healing process. Our results revealed the potential of nanocurcumin incorporated in COL/ALG scaffolds for the wound healing of skin tissue in trauma patients.

Abstract
Natural polymers have attracted a lot of interest in researchers of late as they are environmentally friendly, biocompatible, and possess excellent characters. Membranes forming natural polymers have provided a whole new dimension to the separation technology. In this work, chitosan-gelatin blend membranes were fabricated using chitosan as the base and varying the amount of gelatin. Transport, mechanical, and surface characteristics of the fabricated membranes were examined in detail by means of the characterizing techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning colorimetry, wide angle X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and thermogravimetric analysis. In order to analyze the water affinity of the developed blend chitosan-gelatin membranes, the percentage degree of swelling was examined. Out of the fabricated membranes, the membrane loaded with 15 mass% of gelatin exhibited the better pervaporation performance with a pervaporation separation index value of 266 at 30 °C for the solution containing 10% in terms of the mass of water, which is the highest among the contemporary membranes. All the fabricated membranes were stable during the pervaporation experiments, and permeation flux of water for the fabricated membranes was dominant in the overall total permeation flux, signifying that the developed membranes could be chosen for efficient separation of water-isopropanol mixture on a larger scale.

Perspective on the application of medicinal plants and natural products in wound healing: A mechanistic review. Pharmacol Res 2021; 174:105841. [PMID: 34419563 DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2021.105841] [Citation(s) in RCA: 56] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2021] [Revised: 08/14/2021] [Accepted: 08/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Wound is defined as any injury to the body such as damage to the epidermis of the skin and disturbance to its normal anatomy and function. Since ancient times, the importance of wound healing has been recognized, and many efforts have been made to develop novel wound dressings made of the best material for rapid and effective wound healing. Medicinal plants play a great role in the wound healing process. In recent decades, many studies have focused on the development of novel wound dressings that incorporate medicinal plant extracts or their purified active compounds, which are potential alternatives to conventional wound dressings. Several studies have also investigated the mechanism of action of various herbal medicines in wound healing process. This paper attempts to highlight and review the mechanistic perspective of wound healing mediated by plant-based natural products. The findings showed that herbal medicines act through multiple mechanisms and are involved in various stages of wound healing. Some herbal medicines increase the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) which play important role in stimulation of re-epithelialization, angiogenesis, formation of granulation tissue, and collagen fiber deposition. Some other wound dressing containing herbal medicines act as inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) protein expression thereby inducing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in various phases of the wound healing process. Besides the growing public interest in traditional and alternative medicine, the use of herbal medicine and natural products for wound healing has many advantages over conventional medicines, including greater effectiveness due to diverse mechanisms of action, antibacterial activity, and safety in long-term wound dressing usage.

Abstract
Decades of research into cryogels have resulted in the development of many types of cryogels for various applications. Collagen and gelatin possess nontoxicity, intrinsic gel-forming ability and physicochemical properties, and excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, making them very desirable candidates for the fabrication of cryogels. Collagen-based cryogels (CBCs) and gelatin-based cryogels (GBCs) have been successfully applied as three-dimensional substrates for cell culture and have shown promise for biomedical use. A key point in the development of CBCs and GBCs is the quantitative and precise characterization of their properties and their correlation with preparation process and parameters, enabling these cryogels to be tuned to match engineering requirements. Great efforts have been devoted to fabricating these types of cryogels and exploring their potential biomedical application. However, to the best of our knowledge, no comprehensive overviews focused on CBCs and GBCs have been reported currently. In this review, we attempt to provide insight into the recent advances on such kinds of cryogels, including their fabrication methods and structural properties, as well as potential biomedical applications.

Abstract
Biomaterials derived from extracellular matrices (ECMs) were extensively used for skin tissue engineering and wound healing. ECM is a complex network of biomolecules (e.g., proteins), which provide organizational support to cells for growth. Thus, ECM could be an ideal biomaterial for fabricating the scaffold. However, oxidative stress and biofilm formation at the wound site remains a major challenge that could be neutralized using herbal ingredients (e.g., curcumin). In this study, ECM was extracted from the biowaste of the goat abattoir by using decellularization. The goat small intestine submucosa (G-SIS) is decellularized to obtain the decellularized G-SIS (DG-SIS) and curcumin (in different concentrations) was incorporated in the DG-SIS to fabricate curcumin-embedded DG-SIS scaffolds. Changes brought by increasing the concentrations of the curcumin in DG-SIS were observed in various properties, including free radical scavenging and antibacterial properties. Results depicted that the scaffolds are porous, biodegradable, biocompatible, antibacterial, and hydrophilic and showed sustained release of curcumin. Besides, it showed free radicals scavenging property. The porosity and hydrophilicity of the scaffolds were decreased with an increase in the curcumin content. However, biodegradability, free radical scavenging, biocompatibility, and antibacterial properties of the scaffolds increased with an increase in the curcumin content. The DG-SIS scaffold containing 1 wt % of curcumin may be a potential biomaterial for wound-healing and skin tissue engineering.

Abstract
This review summarizes the four processes of wound healing in the human body (hemostasis, inflammatory, proliferation, and remodeling) and the most current research on the most important factors affecting cutaneous wound healing and the underlying cellular and/or molecular pathways. Local factors, including temperature, oxygenation, and infection, and systemic factors, such as age, diabetes, sex hormones, genetic components, autoimmune diseases, psychological stress, smoking and obesity are also addressed. A better understanding of the role of these factors in wound repair could result in the development of therapeutics that promote wound healing and resolve affected wounds. Additionally, natural products obtained from plants and animals are critical targets for the discovery of novel biologically significant pharmacophores, such as medicines and agrochemicals. This review outlines the most recent advances in naturally derived targeted treatment for wound healing. These are plant-derived natural products, insect-derived natural products, marine-derived natural products, nanomaterial-based wound-healing therapeutics (metal- and non-metal-based nanoparticles), and natural product-based nanomedicine to improve the future direction of wound healing. Natural products extracted from plants and animals have advanced significantly, particularly in the treatment of wound healing. As a result, the isolation and extraction of bioactive compounds from a variety of sources can continue to advance our understanding of wound healing. Undescribed bioactive compounds or unexplored formulations that could have a role in today's medicinal arsenal may be contained in the abundance of natural products and natural product derivatives.

Abstract
Many researches have been undergone to hasten the natural wound healing process. In this study, several Hibiscus species (leaves) were extracted with petroleum ether, methanol, and their mucilage was separated. All the tested species extracts were assessed for their viability percentage using the water-soluble tetrazolium. H.syriacus was the plant of choice to be incorporated in a new drug delivery system and evaluated for its wound healing activity. H.syriacus petroleum ether extract (PEE) showed a high percentage of palmitic and oleic acids while its mucilage demonstrated high glucosamine and galacturonic acid. It was selected to be formulated and pharmaceutically evaluated into three different composite sponges using chitosan in various ratios. Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy investigated the chemical interaction between the utilized sponges' ingredients. Morphological characteristics were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy. H.syriacus composite sponge of mucilage: chitosan (1:5) was loaded with three different concentrations of PEE. Medicated formulations were assessed in rat model of excision wound model. The wound healing ability was clearly proved by the clinical acceleration, histopathological examination, and modulation of correlated inflammatory parameters as tumor necrosis factor in addition to vascular endothelial growth factor suggesting a promising valuable candidate that supports the management of excision wounds using single-dose preparation.

Abstract
In this study, the electrospun poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/Chitosan (CS)/curcumin (CUR) nanofiber was fabricated successfully with curcumin loaded chitosan nano-encapsulated particles (CURCSNPs). The morphology of the produced CURCSNPs, PCL, PCL/CS, PCL/CS/CUR, and PCL/CS/CUR electrosprayed with CURCSNPs were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The physicochemical properties and biological characteristics of fabricated nanofibers such as antibacterial, antioxidant, cell viability, and in vivo wound healing efficiency and histological assay were tested. The electrospraying of CURCSNPs on surface PCL/CS/CUR nanofiber resulted in the enhanced antibacterial, antioxidant, cell proliferation efficiencies and higher swelling and water vapor transition rates. In vivo examination and Histological analysis showed PCL/CS/CUR electrosprayed with CURCSNPs led to significant improvement of complete well-organized wound healing process in MRSA infected wounds. These results suggest that the application of PCL/CS/CUR electrosprayed with CURCSNPs as a wound dressing significantly facilitates wound healing with notable antibacterial, antioxidant, and cell proliferation properties.

Abstract
Some of the currently used wound dressings have interesting features such as excellent porosity, good water-absorbing capacity, moderate water vapor transmission rate, high drug loading efficiency, and good capability to provide a moist environment, but they are limited in terms of antimicrobial properties. Their inability to protect the wound from microbial invasion results in wound exposure to microbial infections, resulting in a delayed wound healing process. Furthermore, some wound dressings are loaded with synthetic antibiotics that can cause adverse side effects on the patients. Natural-based compounds exhibit unique features such as good biocompatibility, reduced toxicity, etc. Curcumin, one such natural-based compound, has demonstrated several biological activities such as anticancer, antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Its good antibacterial and antioxidant activity make it beneficial for the treatment of wounds. Several researchers have developed different types of polymer-based wound dressings which were loaded with curcumin. These wound dressings displayed excellent features such as good biocompatibility, induction of skin regeneration, accelerated wound healing processes and excellent antioxidant and antibacterial activity. This review will be focused on the in vitro and in vivo therapeutic outcomes of wound dressings loaded with curcumin.

[PMID: 32645859 PMCID: PMC7407229 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics12070634] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2020] [Revised: 06/14/2020] [Accepted: 06/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Calendulae flos is a valued plant material with known anti-inflammatory and antimicrobiological properties. The limitation for its use in the treatment of chronic wounds is the lack of adhesion to the required site of action. Obtaining the Calendulae flos lyophilized extract from water-ethanolic extract allowed to prepare valuable material whose biological activity in the wound healing process was confirmed by a positive result of the scratch test. The Calendulae flos lyophilized extract was standardized for the contents of the chlorogenic acid and the narcissin. The significant potency of the Calendulae flos pharmacological activity has become the reason for studies on its novel applications in combination with the multifunctional chitosan carrier, to create a new, valuable solution in the treatment of chronic wounds. The use of chitosan as a carrier allowed for the controlled release of the chlorogenic acid and the narcissin. These substances, characterized by prolonged release from the chitosan delivery system, were identified as well permeable, based on the results of the studies of the parallel artificial membrane permeability assay (PAMPA Skin) a model simulating permeability through membrane skin. The combination of the Calendulae flos lyophilized extract and the chitosan allowed for synergy of action towards hyaluronidase inhibition and effective microbiological activity. Optimization of the hypromellose hydrogel preparation ensuring the required rheological properties necessary for the release of the chlorogenic acid and the narcissin from the chitosan delivery system, as well as demonstrated antimicrobial activity allows indicating formulations of 3% Calendulae flos lyophilized extract with chitosan 80/500 in weight ratio 1:1 and 2% or 3% hypromellose as an important support with high compliance of response and effectiveness for patients suffering from chronic wounds.

Abstract
Background The point of the present investigation was to blend effective chitosan nanoparticles (CNPs) loaded with Pterocarpus marsupium (PM) heartwood extract and evaluate its biomedical applications. Various plant extract concentrations (PM-CNPs-1, PM-CNPs-2, PM-CNPs-3) are used to synthesize chitosan nanoparticles and optimized to acquire a stable nanoparticle formulation. The entrapment efficiency and in vitro release studies of the plant extract encapsulated in CNPs are estimated. The PM-loaded CNPs were characterized by X-ray diffraction, dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The synthesized chitosan nanoparticles were evaluated for their alpha-amylase inhibitory activity and inhibition of albumin denaturation activity. Results The XRD pattern of PM-CNPs shows less number of peaks at low intensity due to the interaction of chitosan with sodium tripolyphosphate. The FT-IR spectrum with peaks at 1639.55 and 1149.02 cm−1 confirms the formation of chitosan nanoparticles. The size of the nanoparticles ranges between 100 and 110 nm with spherical shape illustrated by SEM and TEM analysis. The nanoparticle formulation with 10% plant extract concentration (PM-CNPs-2) showed optimum particle size, higher stability, enhanced entrapment efficiency, and sustained drug release characteristics. Synthesized chitosan nanoparticles have shown a significant increase in alpha-amylase inhibition and appreciable anti-inflammatory activity as measured by inhibition of protein denaturation. Conclusions The investigation reports the eco-friendly, cost-effective method for synthesizing chitosan nanoparticles loaded with Pterocarpus marsupium Rox.b heartwood extract.

Abstract
Chronic diabetic wounds represent a huge socioeconomic burden for both affected individuals and the entire healthcare system. Although the number of available treatment options as well as our understanding of wound healing mechanisms associated with diabetes has vastly improved over the past decades, there still remains a great need for additional therapeutic options. Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine approaches provide great advantages over conventional treatment options, which are mainly aimed at wound closure rather than addressing the underlying pathophysiology of diabetic wounds. Recent advances in biomaterials and stem cell research presented in this review provide novel ways to tackle different molecular and cellular culprits responsible for chronic and nonhealing wounds by delivering therapeutic agents in direct or indirect ways. Careful integration of different approaches presented in the current article could lead to the development of new therapeutic platforms that can address multiple pathophysiologic abnormalities and facilitate wound healing in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Chitosan-based nanomaterials have attracted significant attention in the biomedical field because of their unique biodegradable, biocompatible, non-toxic, and antimicrobial nature. Multiple perspectives of the proposed antibacterial effect and mode of action of chitosan-based nanomaterials are reviewed. Chitosan is presented as an ideal biomaterial for antimicrobial wound dressings that can either be fabricated alone in its native form or upgraded and incorporated with antibiotics, metallic antimicrobial particles, natural compounds and extracts in order to increase the antimicrobial effect. Since chitosan and its derivatives can enhance drug permeability across the blood-brain barrier, they can be also used as effective brain drug delivery carriers. Some of the recent chitosan formulations for brain uptake of various drugs are presented. The use of chitosan and its derivatives in other biomedical applications is also briefly discussed.

Abstract
Curcumin is the principal polyphenolic compound present in turmeric with broad applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. It has some important inherent properties with the potential to facilitate tissue healing, including anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and antibacterial activities. Therefore, curcumin has been used for the treatment of various damaged tissues, especially wound injuries. There are different forms of curcumin, among which nano-formulations are of a great importance in regenerative medicine. It is also important to design sophisticated delivery systems for controlled/localized delivery of curcumin to the target tissues and organs. Although there are many reports on the advantages of this compound, further research is required to fully explore its clinical usage. The review describes the physicochemical and biological properties of curcumin and the current state of the evidence on its applications in tissue engineering. © 2018 BioFactors, 45(2):135-151, 2019.

MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2019; 98:347-357.

Abstract
Wound healing is a tissue regeneration process which is regulated by a complex interaction of multiple growth factors, primarily transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1). The natural antagonist of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling is Smad7. It has been shown that curcumin (an antioxidant) and some biocompatible polymers like collagen and chitosan enhance cutaneous wound healing. In this study, three scaffolds made with curcumin-nanoparticles (CNs) and using collagen and chitosan with various ratios of collagen and chitosan were used for evaluation of wound healing activity on full thickness punch wound model using male Wistar rats. The wound healing in terms of histology and morphology was assessed at different time points post-wounding and the expression pattern of TGF-β1 and Smad7 was studied. CNs incorporated collagen-chitosan scaffolds significantly accelerated the healing of the wounds, as revealed by a significant change in the wound area, the epidermal thickness, the density of granulation tissue, the number of new vessels and a higher collagen content compared to the control group. However, blank collagen-chitosan scaffolds did not cause any significant change in the above parameters, except for epidermal thickness compared to the control group. Incorporation of CNs into collagen-chitosan scaffold changed expression of TGF-β1 and Smad7 mRNAs in the healing wounds compared to the control group. Indeed, blank collagen-chitosan scaffold did not cause any significant up-regulation either in TGF-β1 mRNA expression or in Smad7 mRNA expression (except for day 3 post-wounding), compared to the control group. This study indicates that topical application of CNs-incorporated collagen-chitosan scaffold promotes wound healing via a regulatory effect on the expression of TGF-β1 and Smad7 mRNA in the cutaneous wound-healing model.

Abstract
High mortality rate in potentially survivable casualties due to severe hemorrhage is a major challenge in today's battlefield because technological advancements have revolutionized the combat tactics and complicated the type and severity associated with wound grades. Quality of pre-hospital care prior to patient evacuation is crucial in determining the survival rate in injured patients. To deal with this challenge, considerable improvements in the hemostatic dressings have been introduced and pre-hospital care has been upgraded in many tactical combat casually care guidelines. Combat Gauze has been widely used bandage which is now been replaced by different chitosan based hemostatic dressings. It not only exhibits anti-bacterial activity but also induces hemostasis via direct interaction with erythrocytes and platelets. Its hemostasis mechanism is not dependent on host coagulation pathway which makes it an ideal dressing to stop bleeding in coagulopathic patients. Different generations of chitosan bandages have been developed to overcome the limitations of previous ones. This review provides performance analysis of chitosan bandage generations and discusses the progress made in its fabrication methods during the recent years.

Abstract
Massive bleeding is the leading cause of battlefield-related deaths and the second leading cause of deaths in civilian trauma centers. One of the challenges of managing severe wounds is the need to promote hemostasis as quickly as possible, which can be achieved by using hemostatic dressings. In this study, we fabricated 2 kinds of gelatin/polycaprolactone composites with 2 ratios of gelatin/polycaprolactone, 1:1 and 2:1 (GP11 and GP21, respectively). Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the GP11 composite exhibited rougher and more porous structure than the GP21 composite did. Furthermore, both composites showed similar biocompatibility as that of tissue culture polystyrene. Moreover, both GP composites tended to show a gradual decrease in contact angle to zero within 40 minutes. The in vitro blood plasma coagulation assay revealed that the prothrombin time was significantly longer for the GP composites than it was for the Quikclot composite, whereas the activated partial thromboplastin time of the GP11 composite was significantly shorter than that of the gauze. Furthermore, the GP11 had the largest platelet adsorption of all the composites. The in vivo coagulation test showed an obvious shortening of the bleeding time with the Quikclot and GP21 compared with gauze sample. In conclusion, the GP composites showed superior biocompatibility and hemostasis to the gauze and comparable effects with the Qickclot composite. Therefore, the GP composites have the potential for development as biodegradable surgical hemostatic agents.

Abstract
Highly luminescent, polymer nanocomposite films based on poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), and monodispersed carbon dots (C-dots) derived from multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), as coatings on substrates as well as free standing ones are obtained via solution-based techniques. The synthesized films exhibit pH-independent photoluminescence (PL) emission, which is an advantageous property compared with the pH-dependent photoluminescence intensity variations, generally observed for the C-dots dispersed in aqueous solution. The synthesized C-dots and the nanocomposite films are characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet (UV) - visible spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) techniques. The TEM image provides clear evidence for the formation of C-dots of almost uniform shape and average size of about 8 nm, homogeneously dispersed in aqueous medium. The strong anchoring of C-dots within the polymer matrix can be confirmed from the XRD results. The FTIR spectral studies conclusively establish the presence of oxygen functional groups on the surfaces of the C-dots. The photoluminescence (PL) emission spectra of the nanocomposite films are broad, covering most part of the visible region. The PL spectra do not show any luminescence intensity variations, when the pH of the medium is changed from 1 to 11. The pH-independent luminescence, shown by these films offers ample scope for using them as coatings for designing diagnostic and imaging tools in bio medical applications. The non-toxic nature of these nanocomposite films has been established on the basis of cytotoxicity studies.

Abstract
Curcumin is a phenolic compound isolated from Curcuma longa that is known to exhibit wide ranging biological activity including potential benefits for bone growth. The aim of this work was to engineer curcumin eluting tissue scaffolds and investigate their potential use in bone tissue regeneration. We prepared curcumin loaded poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) nanofibers by electrospinning. Morphological characterization of the nanofibers revealed that the average diameter of neat fibers and that of fibers with 1 wt% and 5 wt% curcumin is 840 ± 130 nm, 827 ± 129 nm and 680 ± 110 nm, respectively. Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance confirmed the successful loading of the drug in fibers. In aqueous medium, the fibers released ≈18% of the encapsulated drug in 3 d and ≈60% in 9 d. The cell response to the curcumin loaded nanofibers was assessed using MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts. Cell proliferation was moderated with increased loading of curcumin and was 50% lower on the fibers containing 5% curcumin at day 10 than the control fibers. Osteogenesis was confirmed by assaying the expression of alkaline phosphatase and staining of mineral deposits by Alizarin red stain, which were both markedly higher for 1% curcumin compared to neat polymer but lower for 5% curcumin. Mineral deposition was also confirmed chemically by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. These results were corroborated by increased gene and protein expression of known osteogenic markers in 1% curcumin. Thus, controlled release of curcumin from polymer scaffolds is a promising strategy for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
The present study describes the preparation of extracellular matrix (ECM; from porcine omentum) based chitosan composite films for wound dressing applications. The films were prepared by varying the ECM content, whereas, the amount of chitosan was kept constant. The interactions amongst the components of the films were analyzed by FTIR and XRD studies. The films were thoroughly characterized for surface hydrophilicity, moisture retention capability, water vapor permeability, mechanical and biocompatibility. FTIR study indicated that both chitosan and ECM were present in their native form and did not lose their activity. XRD analysis suggested composition dependent change in the crystallinity of the films. The mechanical properties suggested that the composite films had sufficient properties to be used for wound dressing applications. An increase in the ECM content resulted in better hydrophilicity of the films and hence better the moisture retention capacity and retardant water vapor transmission rate property of the composite films. The films were found to be biocompatible to both blood and adipose tissue derived stem cells. In gist, the prepared films may be explored as wound dressing materials.
