In situ gelation strategy based on ferrocene-hyaluronic acid organic copolymer biomaterial for exudate management and multi-modal wound healing. Acta Biomater 2022; 154:180-193. [PMID: 36243366 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.09.076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2022] [Revised: 09/13/2022] [Accepted: 09/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Exudate management remains a major concern in slow or non-healing wound management. Therefore, there is a need to devise a massive exudate-absorbing, exudate-locking, and stable extracellular matrix structure-maintaining functional wound dressing. Inspired by metal-organic frameworks, we chemically introduced sandwich ferrocene (Fc) into hyaluronic acid (HA) to fabricate an innovative metal Fc-HA organic copolymer (FHoC) as the skeleton material for in situ gelation, which was then gently compressed into a pre-hydrogel patch (FHoCP). Fc promoted the rearrangement of polymer chains to form additional microcrystalline and hydrophobic regions, which improved hydrogel transition and the exudate-locking ability. Thus, the simple composition FHoCP(5) absorbed 150 times its weight of water and maintained a firm three-dimensional network, which contributed to reducing inflammation and acted as a physical barrier against hemostasis and anti-bacterial invasion. Meanwhile, multi-modal processes, including fibroblast migration, angiogenesis, and antibacterial effects, were integrated into the gelled FHoCP(5) guided by Fe to promote wound healing. This study suggested that FHoC biomaterial could accelerate the closure of chronic wounds. We believe that this unique FHoCP(5)-based in situ gelation strategy could provide a solid drug-loaded scaffold for cell or adjunctive drug therapies, which holds great potential for the development of multifunctional biomaterials. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Hydrogels that absorb excessive exudates while maintaining stable ECM-like network as well as exert multimodal wound healing activities are ideal dressings for accelerating chronic wound contraction. Herein, we reported an innovative metal ferrocene-hyaluronic acid organic copolymer patch (FHoCP) and FHoCP-mediated in situ gelation strategy. Ferrocene (Fc) induced in situ gelation by promoting polymer chain rearrangement, acting as a physical barrier for hemostasis and anti-bacterial invasion, and absorbing massive exudates, resulting in reducing delayed inflammation. As the structural core, rigid Fc enhanced the stability of the hydrogel backbone, and hydrophobic Fc improved fibroblast migration. In addition, Fe2+ chemically inhibited bacteria and increased angiogenesis. These results indicated the potential of FHoCP-based hydrogel for application in clinical skin reconstruction.

Abstract
Objetivos:Conhecer como os cuidadores de pessoas com feridas neoplásicas malignas realizam o cuidado em domicílio. Método: Estudo qualitativo que envolveu sete familiares de pessoas com feridas malignas em tratamento em uma unidade de alta complexidade em oncologia. Os dados foram produzidos por meio de entrevista semiestruturada e submetidos à análise de conteúdo temático, proposto por Bardin. Resultados: Entrevistadas sete familiares-cuidadoras, todas do sexo feminino, jovens que abandonaram o trabalho para se dedicarem à pessoa enferma. Emergiram três categorias após análise do conteúdo: familiares buscam orientações para cuidar do paciente com feridas neoplásicas malignas em domicílio; adotam estratégias no cuidado das feridas; e referem necessidade de apoio dos profissionais e instituições de saúde, porque enfrentam dificuldades no atendimento, principalmente nas unidades de atenção primária. Conclusão: Os familiares de pessoas com feridas neoplásicas malignas enfrentam dificuldades, principalmente pela escassez de conhecimento técnico e por falta de apoio das instituições e dos profissionais de saúde.

Abstract
Objectives: To understand how caregivers of people with malignant neoplastic wounds perform care at home. Method: A qualitative study that involved seven relatives of people with malignant wounds undergoing treatment in a high complexity oncology unit. The data were produced through semistructured interviews and submitted to thematic content analysis, proposed by Bardin. Results: Seven family-caregivers, all female, young people who left work to dedicate themselves to the sick person were interviewed. Three categories emerged after content analysis: family members seek guidance to care for patients with malignant neoplastic wounds at home; they adopt strategies in wound care; and report the need for support from health professionals and institutions, because they face difficulties in care, especially in primary care units. Conclusion: Family members of people with malignant neoplastic wounds face difficulties, mainly due to the scarcity of technical knowledge and lack of support from health institutions and from professionals.

Abstract
Malignant fungating wounds are associated with heavy exudate and malodor, and can thus have a devastating impact on the physical, psychological, and functional health of patients at the end of life. Management is typically limited to the use of more absorbent dressings and frequent changing of dressings. However, this method is associated with a large amount of time needed for wound care, and does not always resolve the problem of malodor. Herein, we report the use of an inexpensive ostomy pouch to manage facial fungating wounds caused by maxillary gingival carcinoma. The pouches are adhered to the skin, and collect a large amount of malodorous exudate for days without leaking. Fewer dressing changes and the absence of malodor result in an improved quality of life for the patient and family.

Abstract
CONTEXT The prevalence of bleeding episodes in malignant wounds (MW) is poorly documented, with no distinction between minor and potentially severe bleedings. This affects the quality of care. OBJECTIVES Assessing the frequency and management of hemorrhagic malignant wounds at Institut Curie hospital, an anti cancer center. METHODS Retrospective study conducted from the medical records of patients followed up by the Research and Wound Care Unit from Curie Institute (Paris, France), between 2017 and 2018. Patients >18 years of age, seen at least once by the Unit, and with an MW > 10 cm2 were included. RESULTS Ninety patients were included, 74.4% female and 25.6% male, with a median age of 64 years (32-92). The most frequent etiologies were breast cancer (52.2%), sarcomas (12.2%), squamous cell carcinoma ear, nose and throat (11%), and pelvic cancer (8.9%). The median survival of patients after their first consultation was 5.6 months (95% CI: 4.6-8.4). Minor bleedings were observed in 38.9% of situations. Bleedings were significantly higher in malignant fungating wounds (P < 0.01). They were treated by the application of alginate or nonadherent dressings. The presence of at least one minor bleeding significantly increased the risk of more severe bleedings (P < 0.001). Hemorrhagic episodes were reported in 18.9% of patients, and 2.2% of patients died as a result of these bleeding episodes. Hemorrhages were fully controlled by hemostatic dressings in 70.6% of cases. The appearance of bleeding (minor or hemorrhagic) was significantly associated with survival (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION MWs with bleedings appear to be associated with a poor prognosis and could be a reason for early palliative care even if the patient's general condition is preserved. Palliative care must incorporate wound care skills to provide the most appropriate solutions to this anxiety-provoking symptom.
