In this study, we introduce a new kind of hydrogel based on oxidized chitosan for tissue adhesion. The hydrogel formed rapidly in a few seconds in the presence of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The in vitro cytocompatible experiment with fibroblast cell using kit live/dead assay showed that the hydrogel was highly biocompatible. Evaluation of tissue adhesion performed on pork skin the maximum tissue adhesive forces are 88 kPa for chitosan hydrogel and 105 kPa for oxidized chitosan hydrogel.. These results suggest that chitosan hydrogel possessed the wound healing ability and promises a tissue adhesive devices for biomedical applications.

Accelerating wound healing with minimized bacterial infection has become a topic of interest in the development of the new generation of tissue bio-adhesives. In this study, we fabricated a hydrogel system (MGC-g-CD-ic-TCS) consisting of triclosan (TCS)-complexed beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD)-conjugated methacrylated glycol chitosan (MGC) as an antibacterial tissue adhesive. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results showed the inclusion complex formation between MGC-g-CD and TCS. The increase of storage modulus (G’) of MGC-g-CD-ic-TCS after visible light irradiation for 200 s indicated its hydrogelation. The swollen hydrogel in aqueous solution resulted in two release behaviors of an initial burst and sustained release. Importantly, in vitro and in vivo results indicated that MGC-g-CD-ic-TCS inhibited bacterial infection and improved wound healing, suggesting its high potential application as an antibacterial tissue bio-adhesive.

Antrodia camphoratais a parasitic fungus from Taiwan, it has been documented to possess a variety of pharmacological and biological activities. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the potential ofAntrodia camphorataethanol extract to accelerate the rate of wound healing closure and histology of wound area in experimental rats. The safety ofAntrodia camphoratawas determinedin vivoby the acute toxicity test andin vitroby fibroblast cell proliferation assay. The scratch assay was used to evaluate thein vitrowound healing in fibroblast cells and the excision model of wound healing was testedin vivousing four groups of adultSprague Dawleyrats. Our results showed that wound treated withAntrodia camphorataextract and intrasite gel significantly accelerates the rate of wound healing closure than those treated with the vehicle. Wounds dressed withAntrodia camphorataextract showed remarkably less scar width at wound closure and granulation tissue contained less inflammatory cell and more fibroblast compared to wounds treated with the vehicle. Masson’s trichrom stain showed granulation tissue containing more collagen and less inflammatory cell inAntrodia camphoratatreated wounds. In conclusion,Antrodia camphorataextract significantly enhanced the rate of the wound enclosure in rats and promotes thein vitrohealing through fibroblast cell proliferation.

Antimicrobial peptides from Streptomyces sp. and marine fish (Carangoides malabaricus) were extracted and developed as conjugates in the present study. The objective was framed to analyze the ability of conjugate to retard the growth of test bacteria causing diabetic foot ulcers. Fibroblast cell adhesion on AMP conjugates coated mesh samples were recorded using microscopic studies with an aim of developing a novel tissue engineered wound dressing material. Thus developed tissue engineered materials were evaluated for its antibacterial potential against wound pathogens; and to assay the wound healing ability using a standard in vitro wound scratch method. Tissue engineered materials were developed using L929 fibroblast cells. L929 fibroblast cells attachment and its stage wise development on wound dressing mesh materials were microscopically observed. In vitro wound healing assay revealed that the developed conjugates (containing AMPs) exhibited cell migration and proliferation after 12th hour of incubation indicating the wound healing abilities. The results showed that the developed tissue engineered wound dressing material has commercial interest in near future.

Bursera morelensis is used in Mexican folk medicine to treat wounds on the skin. Recently, it was shown that the essential oil (EO) of B. morelensis has wound healing activity, accelerating cutaneous wound closure and generating scars with good tensile strength. α-pinene (PIN) and α-phellandrene (FEL) are terpenes that have been found in this EO, and it has been shown in different studies that both have anti-inflammatory activity. The aim of this study was to determine the wound healing activity of these two terpenes. The results of in vitro tests demonstrate that PIN and FEL are not cytotoxic at low concentrations and that they do not stimulate fibroblast cell proliferation. In vivo tests showed that the terpenes produce stress-resistant scars and accelerate wound contraction, due to collagen deposition from the early stages, in wounds treated with both terpenes. Therefore, we conclude that both α-pinene and α-phellandrene promote the healing process; this confirms the healing activity of the EO of B. morelensis, since having these terpenes as part of its chemical composition explains part of its demonstrated activity.
