Haemostatic potency of sodium alginate/aloe vera/sericin composite scaffolds - preparation, characterisation, and evaluation. ARTIFICIAL CELLS, NANOMEDICINE, AND BIOTECHNOLOGY 2024; 52:35-45. [PMID: 38112317 DOI: 10.1080/21691401.2023.2293784] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023]
Abstract
Fabrication of haemostatic materials with excellent antimicrobial, biocompatible and biodegradable properties remains as a major challenge in the field of medicine. Haemostatic agents play vital role in protecting patients and military individuals during emergency situations. Natural polymers serve as promising materials for fabricating haemostatic compounds due to their efficacy in promoting hemostasis and wound healing. In the present work, sodium alginate/aloe vera/sericin (SA/AV/S) scaffold has been fabricated using a simple cost-effective casting method. The prepared SA/AV/S scaffolds were characterised for their physicochemical properties such as scanning electron microscope, UV-visible spectroscopy and Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy. SA/AV/S scaffold showed good mechanical strength, swelling behaviour and antibacterial activity. In vitro experiments using erythrocytes proved the hemocompatible and biocompatible features of SA/AV/S scaffold. In vitro blood clotting assay performed using human blood demonstrated the haemostatic and blood absorption properties of SA/AV/S scaffold. Scratch wound assay was performed to study the wound healing efficacy of prepared scaffolds. Chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane assay carried out using fertilised embryos proved the angiogenic property of SA/AV/S scaffold. Thus, SA/AV/S scaffold could serve as a potential haemostatic healthcare product due to its outstanding haemostatic, antimicrobial, hemocompatible, biocompatible and angiogenic properties.

Abstract
Skin wound healing is a complicated process involving proliferation, inflammation, coagulation, and hemostasis, and scar tissue formation of wound repairing. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have presented potential therapeutic effects in the non-healing and chronic wound. Calcium silicate (CS) ceramics have been identified as a new type of bioceramics for tissue construction and regeneration. Here, we aimed to explore the impact of CS on the regulation of ADSCs-mediated wound healing. Significantly, CS was able to dose-dependently enhance the proliferation of ADSCs. CS inhibited terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling positive cells in the H2O2-treated ADSCs. Similarly, the Bcl-2 expression was elevated while Bax and cleaved caspase-3 expression were repressed by CS in the cells. CS could induce migration and reduce oxidative stress of ADSCs. Moreover, immunofluorescence analysis and Western blot analysis showed that CS could promote CXCR4 expression in ADSCs. Moreover, CS-stimulated ADSCs enhanced migration and angiogenic capacity of HUVEC. Importantly, CS-stimulated ADSCs improved wound healing in full-thickness skin defect mouse model. Thus, we conclude that CS improves ADSCs-attenuated wound healing in vivo and in vitro. Our finding presents novel insight in the scenario that CS regulates ADSCs and wound healing. CS may be applied as potential materials for the treatment of wound healing.

Abstract
Wound healing research has revealed a plethora of data regarding various techniques for treating diverse types of wounds. It is well known that chronic wounds heal slowly and are vulnerable to infection. Also, there are numerous factors like destitute blood passage, undetermined inflammation, angiogenesis, neuropathy, and cell multiplication which overhang chronic wound healing. To eliminate the speculative features of chronic wounds, we made a consecutive survey on specific categories of biomaterials like bioglass, bioactive glass, bioceramics, biopolymers, and biocompatible metal oxide nanoparticles. In particular, the bioglass or bioactive glass which is a silica matrix composed of sodium, calcium, phosphorous, etc., is used for bone-bonding ability and easily dissolved in vivo conditions to repair damaged and wounded tissues with their peculiar physiochemical (surface area, porous nature, structural formation, mechanical stability) and biological properties (biocompatible, cytocompatible, osteoinductive, angiogenesis, hemostatic, antibacterial, and anti-inflammation). Furthermore, based on the existing literature studies, we summarized the healing of diabetes wound tendency by bioactive composite materials and offer detailed information on the method, techniques, and future technologies for wound healing.

Abstract
Most traditional wound dressings passively offer a protective barrier for the wounds, which lacks the initiative in stimulating tissue regeneration. In addition, cutaneous wound healing is usually accompanied by various complicated conditions, including bacterial infection, skin cancer, and damaged skin appendages, bringing further challenges for wound management in clinic. Therefore, an ideal wound dressing should not only actively stimulate wound healing but also hold multi-functions for solving problems associated with different specific wound conditions. Recent studies have demonstrated that silicate bioceramics and bioglasses are one type of promising materials for the development of wound dressings, as they can actively accelerate wound healing by regulating endothelial cells, dermal fibroblasts, macrophages, and epidermal cells. In particular, silicate-based biomaterials can be further functionalized by specific structural design or doping with functional components, which endow materials with enhanced bioactivities or expanded physicochemical properties such as photothermal, photodynamic, chemodynamic, or imaging properties. The functionalized materials can be used to address wound healing with different demands including but not limited to antibacterial, anticancer, skin appendages regeneration, and wound monitoring. In this review, we summarized the current research on the development of silicate-based multi-functional wound dressings and prospected the development of advanced wound dressings in the future.

Abstract
Burn wounds are a devastating type of skin injury leading to severe impacts on both patients and the healthcare system. Current treatment methods are far from ideal, driving the need for tissue engineered solutions. Among various approaches, stem cell-based strategies are promising candidates for improving the treatment of burn wounds. A thorough search of the Embase, Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science databases was conducted to retrieve original research studies on stem cell-based tissue engineering treatments tested in preclinical models of burn wounds, published between January 2009 and June 2021. Of the 347 articles retrieved from the initial database search, 33 were eligible for inclusion in this review. The majority of studies used murine models with a xenogeneic graft, while a few used the porcine model. Thermal burn was the most commonly induced injury type, followed by surgical wound, and less commonly radiation burn. Most studies applied stem cell treatment immediately post-burn, with final endpoints ranging from 7 to 90 days. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) were the most common stem cell type used in the included studies. Stem cells from a variety of sources were used, most commonly from adipose tissue, bone marrow or umbilical cord, in conjunction with an extensive range of biomaterial scaffolds to treat the skin wounds. Overall, the studies showed favourable results of skin wound repair in animal models when stem cell-based tissue engineering treatments were applied, suggesting that such strategies hold promise as an improved therapy for burn wounds.

Abstract
Skin injury is quite common, and the wound healing is a complex process involving many types of cells, the extracellular matrix, and soluble mediators. Cell differentiation, migration, and proliferation are essential in restoring the integrity of the injured tissue. Despite the advances in science and technology, we have yet to find the ideal dressing that can support the healing of cutaneous wounds effectively, particularly for difficult-to-heal chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, bed sores, and venous ulcers. Hence, there is a need to identify and incorporate new ideas and methods to design a more effective dressing that not only can expedite wound healing but also can reduce scarring. Calcium has been identified to influence the wound healing process. This review explores the functions and roles of calcium in skin regeneration and reconstruction during would healing. Furthermore, this review also investigates the possibility of incorporating calcium into scaffolds and examines how it modulates cutaneous wound healing. In summary, the preliminary findings are promising. However, some challenges remain to be addressed before calcium can be used for cutaneous wound healing in clinical settings.
