An ex vivo preliminary investigation into the impact of parameters on tissue welding strength in small intestine mucosa-mucosa end-to-end anastomosis. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1200239. [PMID: 37342503 PMCID: PMC10277648 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2023.1200239] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Tissue welding is an electrosurgical technique that can fuse tissue for small intestine anastomosis. However, limited knowledge exists on its application in mucosa-mucosa end-to-end anastomosis. This study investigates the effects of initial compression pressure, out-put power, and duration time on anastomosis strength ex vivo in mucosa-mucosa end-to-end anastomosis. Methods: Ex vivo porcine bowel segments were used to create 140 mucosa-mucosa end-to-end fusions. Different experimental parameters were employed for fusion, including initial com-pression pressure (50kPa-400 kPa), output power (90W, 110W, and 140W), and fusion time (5, 10, 15, 20 s). The fusion quality was measured by burst pressure and optical microscopes. Results: The best fusion quality was achieved with an initial compressive pressure between 200 and 250 kPa, an output power of 140W, and a fusion time of 15 s. However, an increase in output power and duration time resulted in a wider range of thermal damage. There was no significant difference between the burst pressure at 15 and 20 s (p > 0.05). However, a substantial increase in thermal damage was observed with longer fusion times of 15 and 20 s (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The best fusion quality for mucosa-mucosa end-to-end anastomosis ex vivo is achieved when the initial compressive pressure is between 200 and 250 kPa, the output power is approximately 140W, and the fusion time is approximately 15 s. These findings can serve as a valuable theoretical foundation and technical guidance for conducting animal experiments in vivo and subsequent tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Anastomotic leakage is a serious complication following gastrointestinal surgery and one of the leading causes of patient mortality. Despite the significant clinical and economic burden, there are currently no reliable treatment options to improve the healing of intestinal anastomosis and subsequently prevent anastomotic leakage. Recently, the development of regenerative medicine has shown promise for improving anastomotic healing. Recent studies have illustrated that stem cell-derived secretome can enhance tissue regeneration without the safety and ethical limitations of stem cell transplantation. Herein, we developed a fibrin glue topical delivery system loaded with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-derived secretome for controlled delivery of bioactive factors, and evaluated its application potential in improving the healing of intestinal anastomosis. Under in vitro conditions, the MSCs secretome significantly promoted cell proliferation viability in a dose-dependent manner and resulted in the controlled release of growth factors via fibrin glue delivery. We established a rat surgical anastomotic model and experimentally found that MSCs secretome-loaded fibrin glue enhanced anastomotic bursting pressure, increased granulation tissue formation and collagen deposition, and significantly promoted anastomotic healing. Mechanistically, fibrin glue accelerated cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and macrophage M2 polarization at the surgical anastomotic site by releasing bioactive factors in the secretome, and it also alleviated the inflammatory response and cell apoptosis at the anastomotic site. Our results demonstrated for the first time that MSCs-derived secretome could promote the healing of intestinal anastomosis. Considering the accessibility and safety of the cell-free secretome, we believed that secretome-loaded fibrin glue would be a cell-free therapy to accelerate the healing of intestinal anastomosis with great potential for clinical translation.

Abstract
Cartilage lesions are common conditions, affecting elderly and non-athletic populations. Despite recent advances, cartilage regeneration remains a major challenge today. The absence of an inflammatory response following damage and the inability of stem cells to penetrate into the healing site due to the absence of blood and lymph vessels are assumed to hinder joint repair. Stem cell-based regeneration and tissue engineering have opened new horizons for treatment. With advances in biological sciences, especially stem cell research, the function of various growth factors in the regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation has been established. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from different tissues have been shown to increase into therapeutically relevant cell numbers and differentiate into mature chondrocytes. As MSCs can differentiate and become engrafted inside the host, they are considered suitable candidates for cartilage regeneration. Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) provide a novel and non-invasive source of MSCs. Due to their simple isolation, chondrogenic differentiation potential, and minimal immunogenicity, they can be an interesting option for cartilage regeneration. Recent studies have reported that SHED-derived secretome contains biomolecules and compounds that efficiently promote regeneration in damaged tissues, including cartilage. Overall, this review highlighted the advances and challenges of cartilage regeneration using stem cell-based therapies by focusing on SHED.

Abstract
High-frequency electric field welding-induced tissue fusion has been explored as an advanced surgical method for intestinal anastomoses; however, intrinsic mechanisms remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate microcosmic changes of collagen within the fusion area, with various parameters. Ex vivo small intestine was fused with mucosa-mucosa. Four levels of compressive pressure (100 kPa, 150 kPa, 200 kPa, 250 kPa) were applied for 10 s in order to fuse the colons under a power level of 140 W. Then, collagen fibers of the fusion area were examined by fibrillar collagen alignment and TEM. Three levels of power (90 W, 110 W, 140 W) and three levels of time (5 s, 10 s, 20 s) were applied in order to fuse colons at 250 kPa, and then collagen within the fusion area was examined by Raman spectroscopy. Fibrillar collagen alignment analysis showed that with the increase in compression pressure, alignment of the collagen in the fusion area gradually increased, and the arrangement of collagen fibers tended to be consistent, which was conducive to the adhesion of collagen fibers. TEM showed that pressure changed the distribution and morphology of collagen fibers. Raman spectroscopy showed that increased power and time within a certain range contributed to collagen cross linking. Peak positions of amide I band and amide III band changed. These results suggested that higher power and a longer amount of time resulted in a decrease in non-reducible cross links and an increase in reducible cross links. Compression pressure, power, and time can affect the state of collagen, but the mechanisms are different. Compressive pressure affected the state of collagen by changing its orientation; power and time denatured collagen by increasing temperature and improved the reducible cross linking of collagen to promote tissue fusion.

Abstract
Skin tissue regeneration and repair is a complex process involving multiple cell types, and current therapies are limited to promoting skin wound healing. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been proven to enhance skin tissue repair through their multidifferentiation and paracrine effects. However, there are still difficulties, such as the limited proliferative potential and the biological processes that need to be strengthened for MSCs in wound healing. Recently, three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has been applied as a promising technology for tissue regeneration. 3D-bioprinted MSCs could maintain a better cell ability for proliferation and expression of biological factors to promote skin wound healing. It has been reported that 3D-bioprinted MSCs could enhance skin tissue repair through anti-inflammatory, cell proliferation and migration, angiogenesis, and extracellular matrix remodeling. In this review, we will discuss the progress on the effect of MSCs and 3D bioprinting on the treatment of skin tissue regeneration, as well as the perspective and limitations of current research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Digestive tract resections are usually followed by an anastomosis. Anastomotic leakage, normally due to failed healing, is the most feared complication in digestive surgery because it is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Despite technical and technological advances and focused research, its rates have remained almost unchanged the last decades. In the last two decades, stem cells (SCs) have been shown to enhance healing in animal and human studies; hence, SCs have emerged since 2008 as an alternative to improve anastomoses outcomes.
AIM To summarise the published knowledge of SC utilisation as a preventative tool for hollow digestive viscera anastomotic or suture leaks.
METHODS PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus and Cochrane searches were performed using the key words “anastomosis”, “colorectal/colonic anastomoses”, “anastomotic leak”, “stem cells”, “progenitor cells”, “cellular therapy” and “cell therapy” in order to identify relevant articles published in English and Spanish during the years of 2000 to 2021. Studies employing SCs, performing digestive anastomoses in hollow viscera or digestive perforation sutures and monitoring healing were finally included. Reference lists from the selected articles were reviewed to identify additional pertinent articles.
Given the great variability in the study designs, anastomotic models, interventions (SCs, doses and vehicles) and outcome measures, performing a reliable meta-analysis was considered impossible, so we present the studies, their results and limitations.
RESULTS Eighteen preclinical studies and three review papers were identified; no clinical studies have been published and there are no registered clinical trials. Experimental studies, mainly in rat and porcine models and occasionally in very adverse conditions such as ischaemia or colitis, have been demonstrated SCs as safe and have shown some encouraging morphological, functional and even clinical results. Mesenchymal SCs are mostly employed, and delivery routes are mainly local injections and cell sheets followed by biosutures (sutures coated by SCs) or purely topical. As potential weaknesses, animal models need to be improved to make them more comparable and equivalent to clinical practice, and the SC isolation processes need to be standardised. There is notable heterogeneity in the studies, making them difficult to compare. Further investigations are needed to establish the indications, the administration system, potential adjuvants, the final efficacy and to confirm safety and exclude definitively oncological concerns.
CONCLUSION The future role of SC therapy to induce healing processes in digestive anastomoses/sutures still needs to be determined and seems to be currently far from clinical use.

Abstract
Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) were shown to have potential for immunoregulation and tissue repair. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of hUC-MSCs on emphysema in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The C57BL/6JNarl mice were exposed to cigarette smoke (CS) for 4 months followed by administration of hUC-MSCs at 3 × 106 (low dose), 1 × 107 (medium dose), and 3 × 107 cells/kg body weight (high dose). The hUC-MSCs caused significant decreases in emphysema severity by measuring the mean linear intercept (MLI) and destructive index (DI). A decrease in neutrophils (%) and an increase in lymphocytes (%) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were observed in emphysematous mice after hUC-MSC treatment. Lung levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1 (CXCL1)/keratinocyte chemoattractant (KC), and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-12 significantly decreased after hUC-MSC administration. Significant reductions in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, IL-1β, and IL-17A in serum occurred after hUC-MSC administration. Notably, the cell viability of lung fibroblasts improved with hUC-MSCs after being treated with CS extract (CSE). Furthermore, the hUC-MSCs-conditioned medium (hUC-MSCs-CM) restored the contractile force, and increased messenger RNA expressions of elastin and fibronectin by lung fibroblasts. In conclusion, hUC-MSCs reduced inflammatory responses and emphysema severity in CS-induced emphysematous mice.

Abstract
Articular cartilage is susceptible to damage but hard to self-repair due to its avascular nature. Traditional treatment methods are not able to produce satisfactory effects. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown great promise in cartilage repair. However, the therapeutic effect of MSCs is often unstable partly due to their heterogeneity. Understanding the heterogeneity of MSCs and the potential of different types of MSCs for cartilage regeneration will facilitate the selection of superior MSCs for treating cartilage damage. This review provides an overview of the heterogeneity of MSCs at the donor, tissue source and cell immunophenotype levels, including their cytological properties, such as their ability for proliferation, chondrogenic differentiation and immunoregulation, as well as their current applications in cartilage regeneration. This information will improve the precision of MSC-based therapeutic strategies, thus maximizing the efficiency of articular cartilage repair.

Abstract
PURPOSE In most cases, traditional techniques to perform an anastomosis following gastrointestinal resections lead to successful healing. However, despite focused research in the field, in certain high-risk situations leakage rates remain almost unchanged. Here, additional techniques may help the surgeon to protect the anastomosis and prevent leakage. We give an overview of some of the latest developments on experimental and clinical techniques for induction of anastomotic healing. METHODS We performed a review of the current literature on approaches to improve anastomotic healing. RESULTS Many promising approaches with a high clinical potential are in the developmental pipeline. Highly experimental approaches like inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases, stem cell therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, induction of the hypoxic adaptive response, and the administration of growth factors are still in the preclinical phase. Other more clinical developments aim to strengthen the anastomotic suture line mechanically while shielding it from the influence of the microbiome. Among them are gluing, seaming the staple line, attachment of laminar biomaterials, and temporary intraluminal tubes. In addition, individualized bowel preparation, selectively reducing certain detrimental microbial populations could become the next stage of bowel preparation. Compression anastomoses are evolving as an equivalent technique additional to established hand-sewn and stapled anastomoses. Fluorescence angiography and flexible endoscopy could complement intraoperative quality control additionally to the air leak tests. Virtual ileostomy is a concept to prepare the bowel for the easy formation of a stoma in case of leakage. CONCLUSION A variety of promising diagnostic and prophylactic measures that may support the surgeon in identifying high-risk anastomoses and support them according to their potential deficits is currently in development.
