RESUMO

Nowadays, wound dressings with improved properties are under development and among them, asymmetric membranes have gained an increasing interest due to their two-layered structure that mimic both the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin. Herein, a new asymmetric membrane was produced using the electrospinning technique. The top layer was produced with silk fibroin (SF) and poly(caprolactone) to reproduce the dense nature and waterproof ability of the epidermis. On the other hand, the dermis-like bottom layer was manufactured with SF and hyaluronic acid loaded with an herbal drug (thymol (THY)). All the data gathered showed that the produced electrospun asymmetric membrane exhibited the porosity, wettability, and mechanical properties suitable for the healing process. Further, the in vitro data also demonstrated that the human fibroblast is able to adhere and spread at the membranes' surface, thus confirming their biocompatibility. Moreover, the incorporation of THY into the bottom layer of the membrane, improved its antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Overall, the obtained results demonstrate the appropriateness of the produced membrane for wound healing applications.

RESUMO

Nanofiber-based wound dressings are currently being explored as delivery systems of different biomolecules for avoiding skin infections as well as improve/accelerate the healing process. In the present work, a nanofibrous membrane composed of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and lysine (Lys) was produced by using the electrospinning technique. Further, anti-inflammatory (ibuprofen (IBP)) and antibacterial (lavender oil (LO)) agents were incorporated within the electrospun membrane through blend electrospinning and surface physical adsorption methods, respectively. The obtained results demonstrated that the PVA_Lys electrospun membranes incorporating IBP or LO displayed the suitable morphological, mechanical and biological properties for enhancing the wound healing process. Moreover, the controlled and sustained release profile attained for IBP was appropriate for the duration of the wound healing inflammatory phase, whereas the initial burst release of LO is crucial to prevent wound bacterial contamination. Indeed, the PVA_Lys_LO electrospun membranes were able to mediate a strong antibacterial activity against both S. aureus and P. aeruginosa, without compromising human fibroblasts viability. Overall, the gathered data emphasizes the potential of the PVA_Lys electrospun membranes-based drug delivery systems to be used as wound dressings.

RESUMO

Nowadays, despite the intensive research performed in the area of skin tissue engineering, the treatment of skin lesions remains a big challenge for healthcare professionals. In fact, none of the wound dressings currently used in the clinic is capable of re-establishing all the native features of skin. An ideal wound dressing must confer protection to the wound from external microorganisms, chemical, and physical aggressions, as well as promote the healing process by stimulating the cell adhesion, differentiation, and proliferation. In recent years different types of wound dressings (such as films, hydrocolloids, hydrogels, micro/nano fibers) have been developed. Among them, electrospun nanofibrous membranes due to their intrinsic properties like high surface area-to-volume ratio, porosity and structural similarity with the skin extracellular matrix have been regarded as highly promising for wound dressings applications. Additionally, the nanofibers available in these membranes can act as drug delivery systems, which prompted the incorporation of biomolecules within their structure to prevent skin infections as well as improve the healing process. In this review, examples of different bioactive molecules that have been loaded on polymeric nanofibers are presented, highlighting the antibacterial biomolecules (e.g. antibiotics, silver nanoparticles and natural extracts-derived products) and the molecules capable of enhancing the healing process (e.g. growth factors, vitamins, and anti-inflammatory molecules).
