Abstract
In the ever-evolving landscape of tissue engineering, medicated biotextiles have emerged as a game-changer. These remarkable textiles have garnered significant attention for their ability to craft tissue scaffolds that closely mimic the properties of natural tissues. This comprehensive review delves into the realm of medicated protein and polysaccharide-based biotextiles, exploring a diverse array of fabric materials. We unravel the intricate web of fabrication methods, ranging from weft/warp knitting to plain/stain weaving and braiding, each lending its unique touch to the world of biotextiles creation. Fibre production techniques, such as melt spinning, wet/gel spinning, and multicomponent spinning, are demystified to shed light on the magic behind these ground-breaking textiles. The biotextiles thus crafted exhibit exceptional physical and chemical properties that hold immense promise in the field of tissue engineering (TE). Our review underscores the myriad applications of drug-eluting protein and polysaccharide-based textiles, including TE, tissue repair, regeneration, and wound healing. Additionally, we delve into commercially available products that harness the potential of medicated biotextiles, paving the way for a brighter future in healthcare and regenerative medicine. Step into the world of innovation with medicated biotextiles-where science meets the art of healing.

Enriched Graphene Oxide-Polypropylene Suture Threads Buttons Modulate the Inflammatory Pathway Induced by Escherichia coli Lipopolysaccharide. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24076622. [PMID: 37047593 PMCID: PMC10095426 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24076622] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Revised: 03/29/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 04/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO), derived from graphene, has remarkable chemical–physical properties such as stability, strength, and thermal or electric conductivity and additionally shows antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. The present study aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of polypropylene suture threads buttons (PPSTBs), enriched with two different concentrations of GO, in the modulation of the inflammatory pathway TLR4/MyD 88/NFκB p65/NLRP3 induced by the Escherichia coli (E. coli) lipopolysaccharide (LPS-E). The gene and the protein expression of inflammatory markers were evaluated in an in vitro model of primary human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) by real-time PCR, western blotting, and immunofluorescence analysis. Both GO concentrations used in the polypropylene suture threads buttons-GO constructs (PPSTBs-GO) decreased the expression of inflammatory markers in hGFs treated with LPS-E. The hGFs morphology and adhesion on the PPSTBs-GO constructs were also visualized by inverted light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and real-time PCR. Together, these results suggest that enriched PPSTBs-GO modulates the inflammatory process through TLR4/MyD 88/NFκB p65/NLRP3 pathway.

Abstract
The judicious configuration of a flexible radiopaque suture would be exemplary to facilitate effortless tracking and precise diagnosis of the sutured surgical site by various X-ray assisted imaging modalities and simultaneously serve as a complementary tool for monitoring the fate of the suture material during the post-operative course. A unique radiopaque cellulose based surgical suture (RF) with good mechanical properties was developed by strategically controlled mercerization and bleaching of mechanically strong natural cellulosic fibers extracted from Agave sisalana plant leaves followed by the facile dip-coating of SrO integrated polylactic acid (PLA). RF exhibited admirable straight-pull tensile strength (184 MPa) and commendable contrast enhancement (277.4%) under digital X-ray radiographic imaging which was further validated by micro-CT analysis. Further, RF has a controlled hydrolytic degradation profile favorable for surgical suturing (mass loss ∼22% in 28 days). The microporous surface architecture of RF (pore size < 10 μm) as a result of SrO-PLA coating enabled the loading of antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) deep inside the pores with a cumulative release of 24% at 28 days under physiological conditions substantiating its feasibility to be used as an efficient antimicrobial suture (CRF) that prevents possible bacterial infections at the surgical site. This has been demonstrated by antibacterial disc diffusion assay performed against two Gram-positive and two Gram-negative bacterial strains. Significantly, both RF and CRF are highly biocompatible as confirmed by MTT assay and F-actin staining. Hence, CRF would be a good biocompatible suture candidate holding good tensile properties, exceptional antimicrobial property and intrinsic radiopacity retention for a period >28 days.

Abstract
Nanofiber membranes were successfully prepared with crown ether (CE) functionalized graphene oxide (GO), chitosan (CS), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) by low-temperature thermally induced liquid-liquid phase separation. The physical and chemical properties and adsorption performance of nanofiber membrane were studied through SEM, FT-IR, XRD, and static adsorption experiments. The results show that the specific surface area of the nanofiber membrane is as high as 101.5 m2∙g-1. The results of static adsorption experiments show that the maximum adsorption capacity of the nanofiber membrane can reach 168.50 mg∙g-1 when the pH is 7.0. In the selective adsorption experiment, the nanofiber membrane showed high selectivity for Li+ in salt lake brine. After five cycles, the material still retains 88.31% of the adsorption capacity. Therefore, it is proved that the material has good regeneration ability.

Abstract
Suture materials constitute one of the largest biomedical material groups with a huge global market of $ 1.3 billion annually and employment in over 12 million procedures per year. Suture materials have radically evolved over the years, from basic strips of linen to more advanced synthetic polymer sutures. Yet, the journey to the ideal suture material is far from over and we now stand on the brink of a new era of improved suture materials with greater safety and efficacy. This next step in the evolutionary timeline of suture materials, involves the use of natural, carbohydrate polymers that have, until recent years, never before been considered for suture material applications. This review exposes the latest and most important advancements in suture material development while digging deep into how natural, carbohydrate polymers can serve to advance this field.

Abstract
The next-generation sutures should provide in situ monitoring of wound condition such as temperature while reducing surgical site infection during wound closure. In this study, functionalized nanodiamond (FND) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) into biodegradable polycaprolactone (PCL) are incorporated to develop a new multifunctional suture with such capabilities. Incorporation of FND and rGO into PCL enhances its tensile strength by about 43% and toughness by 35%. The sutures show temperature sensing capability in the range of 25-40 °C based on the shift in zero-splitting frequency of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV- ) centers in FND via optically detected magnetic resonance, paving the way for potential detection of infection or excessive inflammation in healing wounds. The suture surface readily coats with antibiotics to reduce bacterial infection risk to the wounds. The new suture thus is promising in monitoring and supporting wound closure.

Abstract
Graphene displays various properties like optical, electrical, mechanical, etc. resulting in a large range of applications in biosensing, bio-imaging, medical and electronic devices. The graphene-based nanomaterials show disadvantages like hydrophobic surface, degradation of biomolecules (proteins and amino acids) and toxicity to the human and microbes by permeating into the cells and thus, limiting the use in the biomedical field. Conjugation of carbohydrates like chitin, cyclodextrins and cellulose with graphene results in thermal stability, oxygen repulsive ability, fire-retardant and gelling properties with better biodegradability, biocompatibility and safety leading to the formation of environment-friendly biopolymers. This article delivers an overview of the molecular interaction of different carbohydrates-derived from natural sources like marine, plants and microbes with graphene nanosheets to extend the applications in tissue engineering, surgical materials, biosensing and novel drug delivery for prolonged action in the treatment of breast and hepatic cancers.
