Multifunctional Hydrogel Enhances Inflammatory Control, Antimicrobial Activity, and Oxygenation to Promote Healing in Infectious Wounds
Biomacromolecules. 2024 Mar 8. doi: 10.1021/acs.biomac.3c01386. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChronic infected wounds often fail to heal through normal repair mechanisms, and the persistent response of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammation is a major contributing factor to the difficulty in their healing. In this context, we developed an ROS-responsive injectable hydrogel. This hydrogel is composed of ε-polylysine grafted (EPL) with caffeic acid (CA) and hyaluronic acid (HA) grafted with phenylboronic acid (PBA). Before the gelation process, a mixture CaO2@Cur-PDA (CCP) consisting of calcium peroxide (CaO2) coate...

Supraclavicular Artery Perforator Based Flap in Reconstruction of Neck Soft Tissue Defects: Our Experience
Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2024 Feb;76(1):739-747. doi: 10.1007/s12070-023-04265-4. Epub 2023 Dec 23.ABSTRACTNeck reconstruction is challenging task as it requires achievement of both function and aesthetic form as it is exposed and visible part of body. Various reconstruction modalities like Skin graft to free flap has been described in literature (Achauer and Sood's Burns Surgery, edition 2006). We used Supraclavicular artery perforator based island Flap for resurfacing defect in Five patients. After localization of Supraclavicular artery perforator with hand held Doppler; flap was raised in subfascial plane an...

Carboxymethyl cellulose-agarose hydrogel in poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) nanofibers: A novel tissue engineered skin graft
In this study, a biocompatible hybrid scaffold was developed for wound healing applications using poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) nanofibers embedded with hydrogel made of 2 % carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) blended with 1 % agarose. Hybrid scaffolds, characterized for surface morphology, swellability, porosity, and degradation, were found to be suitable for wound healing. Furthermore, the incorporation of CMC-agarose hydrogel into nanofibers significantly enhanced their mechanical strength compared to PHBV nanofibers alone (p < 0.05). Extract cytotoxicity and direct cytotoxicity tests showed that the ...
