RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder. Due to the various manifestations of TSC and their potential complications, a multidisciplinary care approach is recommended by consensus guidelines. OBJECTIVES: Our study aimed to give a complete description of our TSC adult cohort and to evaluate the multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary management model. METHODS: Data on each adult patient diagnosed with TSC, including disease manifestations, interventions and outcomes, were collected at baseline and updated annually. A multidisciplinary TSC approach with all the recommended explorations was carried out annually. RESULTS: 90 patients were enrolled in Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Bordeaux, between January 2000 and September 2018. Median age of patients at inclusion was 37 years (range, 27-47) and 20 years old at diagnosis of TSC. Regarding the occurrence of TSC manifestations, 97% of the patients had cutaneous lesions, 89% had neurological manifestations, 83% had renal manifestations and 100% had dental lesions with pits. More than half the patients had sclerotic bone lesions (68%), TSC-associated neuropsychiatric disorders (64%) and lymphangioleiomyomatosis (59%). A TSC multidisciplinary approach was developed including a global follow-up and an evaluation of TSC targeting organs, according to the recommendations. A satisfaction survey revealed global and entire satisfaction of patients with TSC. CONCLUSION: We obtained an accurate description of a cohort of adult patients with TSC. Our multidisciplinary approach model allowed us to provide optimal management of patients with TSC with a high level of patient satisfaction.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Development of dexterity, hand-eye coordination and self-assessment are essential during the preclinical training of dental students. To meet this requirement, dental simulators have been developed combining virtual reality with a force feedback haptic interface. The aim of this study was to assess the capability of the VirTeaSy© haptic simulator to discriminate between users with different levels of practical and clinical experience. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty-six volunteers divided into five groups (non-dentists, 1st/3rd/final-year dental students, recent graduates) had three attempts to prepare an occlusal amalgam cavity using the simulator. Percentages of volumes prepared inside (%IV) and outside (%OV) the required cavity, skill index and progression rate, referring to the evolution of skill index between trials 1 and 3, were assessed. The dental students and recent graduates completed a questionnaire to gather their opinions about their first hands-on experience with a haptic simulator. RESULTS: The results showed no significant difference between the groups at the first attempt. Following the third attempt, the skill index was improved significantly. Analysis of progression rates, characterised by large standard deviations, did not reveal significant differences between groups. The third attempt showed significant differences in skill index and %IV between 1st-year undergraduate dental students and both non-dentists and recent dental graduates. The questionnaire indicated a tendency for dental operators to consider the simulator as a complement to their learning and not a substitute for traditional methods. CONCLUSION: This study did not show the ability of a basic aptitude test on VirTeaSy© haptic simulator to discriminate between users of different levels of expertise. Optimisations must be considered in order to make simulation-based assessment clinically relevant.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The development of an artificial glomerular unit may be pivotal for renal pathophysiology studies at a multicellular scale. Using a tissue engineering approach, we aimed to reproduce in part the specific glomerular barrier architecture by manufacturing a glomerular microfibre (Mf). METHODS: Immortalized human glomerular cell lines of endothelial cells (GEnCs) and podocytes were used. Cells and a three-dimensional (3D) matrix were characterized by immunofluorescence with confocal analysis, Western blot and polymerase chain reaction. Optical and electron microscopy were used to study Mf and cell shapes. We also analysed cell viability and cell metabolism within the 3D construct at 14 days. RESULTS: Using the Mf manufacturing method, we repeatedly obtained a cellularized Mf sorting human glomerular cells in 3D. Around a central structure made of collagen I, we obtained an internal layer composed of GEnC, a newly formed glomerular basement membrane rich in α5 collagen IV and an external layer of podocytes. The cell concentration, optimal seeding time and role of physical stresses were modulated to obtain the Mf. Cell viability and expression of specific proteins (nephrin, synaptopodin, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and von Willebrandt factor (vWF)) were maintained for 19 days in the Mf system. Mf ultrastructure, observed with EM, had similarities with the human glomerular barrier. CONCLUSION: In summary, with our 3D bio-engineered glomerular fibre, GEnC and podocytes produced a glomerular basement membrane. In the future, this glomerular Mf will allow us to study cell interactions in a 3D system and increase our knowledge of glomerular pathophysiology.

RESUMO

Development of a microvasculature into tissue-engineered bone substitutes represents a current challenge. Seeding of endothelial cells in an appropriate environment can give rise to a capillary-like network to enhance prevascularization of bone substitutes. Advances in biofabrication techniques, such as bioprinting, could allow to precisely define a pattern of endothelial cells onto a biomaterial suitable for in vivo applications. The aim of this study was to produce a microvascular network following a defined pattern and preserve it while preparing the surface to print another layer of endothelial cells. We first optimise the bioink cell concentration and laser printing parameters and then develop a method to allow endothelial cells to survive between two collagen layers. Laser-assisted bioprinting (LAB) was used to pattern lines of tdTomato-labeled endothelial cells cocultured with mesenchymal stem cells seeded onto a collagen hydrogel. Formation of capillary-like structures was dependent on a sufficient local density of endothelial cells. Overlay of the pattern with collagen I hydrogel containing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) allowed capillary-like structures formation and preservation of the printed pattern over time. Results indicate that laser-assisted bioprinting is a valuable technique to pre-organize endothelial cells into high cell density pattern in order to create a vascular network with defined architecture in tissue-engineered constructs based on collagen hydrogel.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Oropharyngeal features are frequent and often understated in the treatment clinical guidelines of systemic sclerosis in spite of important consequences on comfort, aesthetics, nutrition and daily life. The aim of this systematic review was to assess a correlation between the oropharyngeal manifestations of systemic sclerosis and patients' health-related quality of life. METHODS: A systematic search was conducted using four databases [PubMed® , Cochrane Database® , Dentistry & Oral Sciences Source® and SCOPUS® ] up to January 2018, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. Grey literature and hand search were also included. Study selection, risk bias assessment (Newcastle-Ottawa scale) and data extraction were performed by two independent reviewers. The review protocol was registered on PROSPERO database with the code CRD42018085994. RESULTS: From 375 screened studies, 6 cross-sectional studies were included in the systematic review. The total number of patients included per study ranged from 84 to 178. These studies reported a statistically significant association between oropharyngeal manifestations of systemic sclerosis (mainly assessed by maximal mouth opening and the Mouth Handicap in Systemic Sclerosis Scale) and an impaired quality of life (measured by different scales). Studies were unequal concerning risk of bias mostly because of low level of evidence, different recruiting sources of samples and different scales to assess the quality of life. CONCLUSION: This systematic review demonstrates a correlation between oropharyngeal manifestations of systemic sclerosis and impaired quality of life, despite the low level of evidence of included studies. Large-scaled studies are needed to provide stronger evidence of this association.

RESUMO

We investigate the properties of microjets in the context of film-free laser induced forward transfer in the femtosecond and picosecond regimes. The influence of the pulse duration (ranging from 0.4 to 12 ps) and the energy (ranging from 6 to 12 µJ) is systematically studied on the height, diameter, speed, volume, and shape of the jets. The 400 fs pulses generate thin and stable jets compatible with bioprinting, while 14 ps pulses generate more unstable jets. A pulse duration around 8 ps seems, therefore, to be an interesting trade-off to cover many bio-applications of microjets generated by lasers.

RESUMO

The conventional tissue engineering is based on seeding of macroporous scaffold on its surface ("top-down" approach). The main limitation is poor cell viability in the middle of the scaffold due to poor diffusion of oxygen and nutrients and insufficient vascularization. Layer-by-Layer (LBL) bioassembly is based on "bottom-up" approach, which considers assembly of small cellularized blocks. The aim of this work was to evaluate proliferation and differentiation of human bone marrow stromal cells (HBMSCs) and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in two and three dimensions (2D, 3D) using a LBL assembly of polylactic acid (PLA) scaffolds fabricated by 3D printing. 2D experiments have shown maintain of cell viability on PLA, especially when a co-cuture system was used, as well as adequate morphology of seeded cells. Early osteoblastic and endothelial differentiations were observed and cell proliferation was increased after 7 days of culture. In 3D, cell migration was observed between layers of LBL constructs, as well as an osteoblastic differentiation. These results indicate that LBL assembly of PLA layers could be suitable for BTE, in order to promote homogenous cell distribution inside the scaffold and gene expression specific to the cells implanted in the case of co-culture system.

RESUMO

Despite significant advances in the management of patients with oral cancer, maxillofacial reconstruction after ablative surgery remains a clinical challenge. In bone tissue engineering, biofabrication strategies have been proposed as promising alternatives to solve issues associated with current therapies and to produce bone substitutes that mimic both the structure and function of native bone. Among them, laser-assisted bioprinting (LAB) has emerged as a relevant biofabrication method to print living cells and biomaterials with micrometric resolution onto a receiving substrate, also called 'biopaper'. Recent studies have demonstrated the benefits of prevascularization using LAB to promote vascularization and bone regeneration, but mechanical and biological optimization of the biopaper are needed. The aim of this study was to apply gelatin-sheet fabrication process to the development of a novel biopaper able to support prevascularization organized by LAB for bone tissue engineering applications. Gelatin-based sheets incorporating bioactive glasses (BGs) were produced using various freezing methods and crosslinking (CL) parameters. The different formulations were characterized in terms of microstructural, physical, mechanical, and biological properties in monoculture and coculture. Based on multi-criteria analysis, a rank scoring method was used to identify the most relevant formulations. The selected biopaper underwent additional characterization regarding its ability to support mineralization and vasculogenesis, its bioactivity potential andin vivodegradability. The biopaper 'Gel5wt% BG1wt%-slow freezing-CL160 °C 24 h' was selected as the best candidate, due to its suitable properties including high porosity (91.69 ± 1.55%), swelling ratio (91.61 ± 0.60%), Young modulus (3.97 × 104± 0.97 × 104Pa) but also its great cytocompatibility, osteogenesis and bioactivity properties. The preorganization of human umbilical vein endothelial cell using LAB onto this new biopaper led to the formation of microvascular networks. This biopaper was also shown to be compatible with 3D-molding and 3D-stacking strategies. This work allowed the development of a novel biopaper adapted to LAB with great potential for vascularized bone biofabrication.

RESUMO

The laser patterning of implant materials for bone tissue engineering purposes has proven to be a promising technique for controlling cell properties such as adhesion or differentiation, resulting in enhanced osteointegration. However, the possibility of patterning the bone tissue side interface to generate microstructure effects has never been investigated. In the present study, three different laser-generated patterns were machined on the bone surface with the aim of identifying the best surface morphology compatible with osteogenic-related cell recolonization. The laser-patterned bone tissue was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and confocal microscopy in order to obtain a comprehensive picture of the bone surface morphology. The cortical bone patterning impact on cell compatibility and cytoskeleton rearrangement on the patterned surfaces was assessed using Stromal Cells from the Apical Papilla (SCAPs). The results indicated that laser machining had no detrimental effect on consecutively seeded cell metabolism. Orientation assays revealed that patterns with larger hatch distances were correlated with higher cell cytoskeletal conformation to the laser-machined patterns. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to consider and evaluate bone as a biological interface that can be engineered for improvement. Further investigations should focus on the in vivo implications of this direct patterning.

RESUMO

Transtympanic administration is used clinically for the injection of gentamicin and/or corticosteroids. This atraumatic route is based on passive diffusion through the round window membrane (RWM). The main limitation of this method is related to the clearance through the Eustachian tube, making the concentration of the therapeutic agent at the intracochlear level uncertain and limited. Moreover, this technique remains unsuitable for molecules of high molecular weight or in the case of gene therapies. The purpose was to study a new technique of intracochlear administration in an atraumatic, direct and controlled manner by laser-assisted bioprinting (LAB). LAB was used to deliver dexamethasone phosphate with thermosensitive hydrogel on the mouse RWM. After validation of the regularity and homogeneity of the pattern, the diffusion in vivo of the dexamethasone into the perilymph after LAB has been confirmed by ELISA. Auditory function measurements showed no hearing impairment suggesting that bioprinting does not induce significant cochlear damage. Hence, the present proof of concept study introduces a promising approach for inner ear drug delivery.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Cocultures of human gingival fibrobasts (hGF) and endothelial cells could enhance regeneration and repair models as well as improve vascularization limitations in tissue engineering. The aim of this study was to assess if hGF could support formation of stable vessel-like networks. METHODS: Explant primary hGF were isolated from gum surgical wastes collected from healthy patients with no history of periodontitis. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) cocultured in vitro with hGF at a cell ratio of 1:1 and medium of 1:1 of their respective media during at least 31 days. Vessel quantification of HUVEC networks was performed. In order to investigate the pericyte-like properties of hGF, the expression of perivascular markers α-SMA, NG2, CD146 and PDGFR-ß was studied using immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry on 2D cultures. RESULTS: hGF were able to support a long-lasting HUVEC network at least 31 days, even in the absence of a bioreactor with flow. As observed, HUVEC started to communicate with each other from day 7, constructing a network. Their interconnection increased significantly between day 2 and day 21 and lasted beyond the 31 days of observation. Moreover, we tried to explain the stability of the networks obtained and showed that a small population of hGF in close vicinity of HUVEC networks expressed perivascular markers. CONCLUSION: These findings highlight a new interesting property concerning hGF, accentuating their relevance in tissue engineering and periodontal regeneration. These promising results need to be confirmed using more 3D applications and in vivo testing.

RESUMO

As the need for efficient, sustainable, customizable, handy and affordable substitute materials for bone repair is critical, this systematic review aimed to assess the use and outcomes of silica-derived inks to promote in vivo bone regeneration. An algorithmic selection of articles was performed following the PRISMA guidelines and PICO method. After the initial selection, 51 articles were included. Silicon in ink formulations was mostly found to be in either the native material, but associated with a secondary role, or to be a crucial additive element used to dope an existing material. The inks and materials presented here were essentially extrusion-based 3D-printed (80%), and, overall, the most investigated animal model was the rabbit (65%) with a femoral defect (51%). Quality (ARRIVE 2.0) and risk of bias (SYRCLE) assessments outlined that although a large majority of ARRIVE items were "reported", most risks of bias were left "unclear" due to a lack of precise information. Almost all studies, despite a broad range of strategies and formulations, reported their silica-derived material to improve bone regeneration. The rising number of publications over the past few years highlights Si as a leverage element for bone tissue engineering to closely consider in the future.

RESUMO

Grafts aside, current strategies employed to overcome bone loss still fail to reproduce native tissue physiology. Among the emerging bioprinting strategies, laser-assisted bioprinting (LAB) offers very high resolution, allowing designing micrometric patterns in a contactless manner, providing a reproducible tool to test ink formulation. To this date, no LAB associated ink succeeded to provide a reproduciblead integrumbone regeneration on a murine calvaria critical size defect model. Using the Conformité Européenne (CE) approved BioRoot RCS® as a mineral addition to a collagen-enriched ink compatible with LAB, the present study describes the process of the development of a solidifying tricalcium silicate-based ink as a new bone repair promoting substrates in a LAB model. This ink formulation was mechanically characterized by rheology to adjust it for LAB. Printed aside stromal cells from apical papilla (SCAPs), this ink demonstrated a great cytocompatibility, with significantin vitropositive impact upon cell motility, and an early osteogenic differentiation response in the absence of another stimulus. Results indicated that thein vivoapplication of this new ink formulation to regenerate critical size bone defect tends to promote the formation of bone volume fraction without affecting the vascularization of the neo-formed tissue. The use of LAB techniques with this ink failed to demonstrate a complete bone repair, whether SCAPs were printed or not of at its direct proximity. The relevance of the properties of this specific ink formulation would therefore rely on the quantity appliedin situas a defect filler rather than its cell modulation properties observedin vitro. For the first time, a tricalcium silicate-based printed ink, based on rheological analysis, was characterizedin vitroandin vivo, giving valuable information to reach complete bone regeneration through formulation updates. This LAB-based process could be generalized to normalize the characterization of candidate ink for bone regeneration.

RESUMO

Extensive dental and periodontal defects are frequent and with a limited regenerative potential. Tissue engineering could be a promising tool to obtain personalized oral grafts. However, current research shows a lack of in vitro engineered oral tissues. This is explained by the difficulty to engineer blood vessel systems, impairing the connection to the host tissue and the graft success. Various strategies were used to engineer vascularized tissues and reported successful results, thus needing a clear analysis of the current state of art in oral tissue engineering. This systematic review aimed at studying the critical factors and techniques used to engineer a prevascularized oral tissue graft. PubMed, Cochrane Library, and SCOPUS databases were searched over the last 5 years following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Out of 638 screened studies, 24 were included in the systematic review according to strict inclusion and exclusion criteria and focusing on higher connection to the host vasculature. Animal models were all rodents, and subcutaneous implantation was the most used intervention. Studies presented low-to-unclear risk of bias according to the Systematic Review Center for Laboratory Animal Experimentation tool. Endothelial cells were mainly human umbilical vein endothelial cells, while stromal cells were most of the time oral or mesenchymal stem cells. Coculture of both types of cells at a 1:1 ratio was the most common technique used to obtain vascular networks, and some studies precultured grafts up to 3 weeks to enable network formation before implantation. Prevascularized grafts were produced by various tissue engineering technologies, including cell seeding and/or embedding, cell sheets, and spheroids. All studies reported a statistically significant faster and higher connection to host of prevascularized constructs compared to controls. Vessel networks were indeed denser, with a higher portion of lumen containing erythrocytes and blood flow increased. By assessing the relevant studies on the subject, this systematic review showed that engineered prevascularization proved to be an interesting approach to improve graft connection to the host vasculature and respective specific cell and scaffold criteria. Further studies on enhanced scaffolds and larger animals seem necessary to confirm these promising results with more voluminous grafts and get closer to native human tissues and applications. Impact statement Autologous oral grafts display limitations in terms of revascularization and morbidity of donor sites, despite being the gold standard. This systematic review aimed at clarifying existing data regarding techniques to engineer prevascularized oral grafts. Tissue engineering techniques, using cocultures of endothelial and oral stromal cells, proved to be an efficient way to enhance and accelerate the connection of the graft to the host vasculature. Engineered prevascularization appears to be a promising way to improve the connection to the host and the vascularization of grafts, especially when voluminous. Large animal and human studies are necessary to allow clinical translation.

RESUMO

One of the greatest challenges in the field of biofabrication remains the discovery of suitable bioinks that satisfy physicochemical and biological requirements. Despite recent advances in tissue engineering and biofabrication, progress has been limited to the development of technologies using polymer-based materials. Here, we show that a nucleotide lipid-based hydrogel resulting from the self-assembly of nucleotide lipids can be used as a bioink for soft tissue reconstruction using injection or extrusion-based systems. To the best of our knowledge, the use of a low molecular weight hydrogel as an alternative to polymeric bioinks is a novel concept in biofabrication and 3D bioprinting. Rheological studies revealed that nucleotide lipid-based hydrogels exhibit suitable mechanical properties for biofabrication and 3D bioprinting, including i) fast gelation kinetics in a cell culture medium and ii) shear moduli and thixotropy compatible with extruded oral cell survival (human gingival fibroblasts and stem cells from the apical papilla). This polymer-free soft material is a promising candidate for a new bioink design.

RESUMO

Bioprinting is a novel technological approach that has the potential to solve unmet questions in the field of tissue engineering. Laser-assisted bioprinting (LAB), due to its unprecedented cell printing resolution and precision, is an attractive tool for the in situ printing of a bone substitute. Here, we describe the protocol for LAB and its use for the in situ bioprinting of mesenchymal stromal cells, associated with collagen and nanohydroxyapatite, in order to favor bone regeneration in a calvaria defect model in mice.

RESUMO

Vascularization plays a crucial role in bone formation and regeneration process. Development of a functional vasculature to improve survival and integration of tissue-engineered bone substitutes remains a major challenge. Biofabrication technologies, such as bioprinting, have been introduced as promising alternatives to overcome issues related to lack of prevascularization and poor organization of vascular networks within the bone substitutes. In this context, this study aimed at organizing endothelial cells in situ, in a mouse calvaria bone defect, to generate a prevascularization with a defined architecture, and promote in vivo bone regeneration. Laser-assisted bioprinting (LAB) was used to pattern Red Fluorescent Protein-labeled endothelial cells into a mouse calvaria bone defect of critical size, filled with collagen containing mesenchymal stem cells and vascular endothelial growth factor. LAB technology allowed safe and controlled in vivo printing of different cell patterns. In situ printing of endothelial cells gave rise to organized microvascular networks into bone defects. At two months, vascularization rate (vr) and bone regeneration rate (br) showed statistically significant differences between the 'random seeding' condition and both 'disc' pattern (vr = +203.6%; br = +294.1%) and 'crossed circle' pattern (vr = +355%; br = +602.1%). These results indicate that in vivo LAB is a valuable tool to introduce in situ prevascularization with a defined configuration and promote bone regeneration.

RESUMO

Layer-by-layer (LBL) BioAssembly method was developed to enhance the control of cell distribution within 3D scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. The objective of this study was to evaluate in vivo the development of blood vessels within LBL bioassembled membranes seeded with human primary cells, and to compare it to cellularized massive scaffolds. Poly(lactic) acid (PLA) membranes fabricated by fused deposition modeling were seeded with monocultures of human bone marrow stromal cells or with cocultures of these cells and endothelial progenitor cells. Then, four cellularized membranes were assembled in LBL constructs. Early osteoblastic and endothelial cell differentiation markers, alkaline phosphatase, and von Willebrand's factor, were expressed in all layers of assemblies in homogenous manner. The same kind of LBL assemblies as well as cellularized massive scaffolds was implanted subcutaneously in mice. Human cells were observed in all scaffolds seeded with cells, but not in the inner parts of massive scaffolds. There were significantly more blood vessels observed in LBL bioassemblies seeded with cocultures compared to all other samples. LBL bioassembly of PLA membranes seeded with a coculture of human cells is an efficient method to obtain homogenous cell distribution and blood vessel formation within the entire volume of a 3D composite scaffold.

RESUMO

Natal and neonatal teeth are rare features that can lead to various issues, from traumatic injuries and feeding difficulties to more severe problems, such as risk of aspiration due to excessive mobility of teeth. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the diagnosis and management of natal and neonatal teeth, and describe three cases of newborns with natal teeth. Decision processes and management are detailed regarding the specificity of each case. Periodic follow-up is recommended to maintain oral health and prevent any issues related to premature loss or eruption of primary teeth. A close collaboration between pediatricians and dentists should be considered in order to allow early diagnosis and efficient treatment.
