RESUMEN
The development of tissue adhesives with good biocompatibility and potent antimicrobial properties is crucial for addressing the high incidence of surgical site infections in emergency and clinical settings. Herein, an injectable hydrogel adhesive composed of chitosan biguanidine (CSG), oxidized dextran (ODex) and tannin (TA) was synthesized primarily through Schiff-base reactions, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic interactions. TA was introduced into the CSG/ODex hydrogel to prepare a physicochemically double cross-linked hydrogel. The hydrogel formulation incorporating 2 wt% TA (CSG/ODex-TA2) exhibited rapid gelation, moderate mechanical properties, good tissue adhesion, and sustained release behavior of TA. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that CSG/ODex-TA2 showed significantly enhanced adhesion and antibacterial effectiveness compared to the CSG/ODex hydrogel and commercial fibrin glue. Leveraging the positive charge of CSG, the CSG/ODex-TA2 hydrogel demonstrated a strong contact antibacterial effect, while the sustained release of TA provided diffusion antibacterial capabilities. By integrating contact and diffusion antibacterial mechanisms into the hydrogel, a promising approach was developed to boost antibacterial efficiency and accelerate the healing of wounds infected with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The CSG/ODex-TA2 hydrogel has excellent biocompatibility, hemostatic properties, and antibacterial capabilities, making it a promising candidate for improving in vivo wound care and combating bacterial infections.

Intervertebral disc (IVD) herniation is a leading cause of disability and lower back pain, causing enormous socioeconomic burdens. The standard of care for disc herniation is nucleotomy, which alleviates pain but does not repair the annulus fibrosus (AF) defect nor recover the biomechanical function of the disc. Existing bioadhesives for AF repair are limited by insufficient adhesion and significant mechanical and geometrical mismatch with the AF tissue, resulting in the recurrence of protrusion or detachment of bioadhesives. Here, we report a composite hydrogel sealant constructed from a composite of a three-dimensional (3D)-printed thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) mesh and tough hydrogel. We tailored the fiber angle and volume fraction of the TPU mesh design to match the angle-ply structure and mechanical properties of native AF. Also, we proposed and tested three types of geometrical design of the composite hydrogel sealant to match the defect shape and size. Our results show that the sealant could mimic native AF in terms of the elastic modulus, flexural modulus, and fracture toughness and form strong adhesion with the human AF tissue. The bovine IVD tests show the effectiveness of the composite hydrogel sealant for AF repair and biomechanics recovery and for preventing herniation with its heightened stiffness and superior adhesion. By harnessing the combined capabilities of 3D printing and bioadhesives, these composite hydrogel sealants demonstrate promising potential for diverse applications in tissue repair and regeneration.

Epidural adhesion or epidural fibrosis is the major reason for postoperative pain, which remains a clinically challenging problem. Current physical barriers fail to provide a satisfactory therapeutic outcome mainly due to their lack of adhesion, inability to prevent fluid leakage, and exhibiting limited antioxidant properties. Herein, we fabricated a cysteine-modified bioadhesive (SECAgel) with improved sealing and antioxidant properties for epidural adhesion prevention, inspired by the organism's antioxidant systems. The resulting SECAgel showed good injectability and in situ adhesion ability, effectively covering every corner of the irregular wound. Besides, it possessed efficient sealing properties (395.2 mmHg), effectively stopping blood leakage in the rabbit carotid artery transection model. The antioxidant experiments demonstrated that the SECAgel effectively scavenged various radicals and saved the cells from oxidative stress. Two animal models were used to show that the SECAgel effectively inhibited adhesion in both situations with and without cerebrospinal fluid leakage. The RNA sequencing analysis showed that SECAgel treatment effectively inhibited the expression of key genes related to adhesion development, inflammatory response, and oxidative stress. The SECAgel, together with good biocompatibility, can be a good candidate for preventing epidural adhesion in the clinic.

In addressing the intricate challenges of enterocutaneous fistula (ECF) treatment, such as internal bleeding, effluent leakage, inflammation, and infection, our research is dedicated to introducing a regenerative adhesive hydrogel that can seal and expedite the healing process. A double syringe setup was utilized, with dopagelatin and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in one syringe and Laponite and sodium periodate in another. The hydrogel begins to cross-link immediately after passing through a mixing tip and exhibits tissue adhesive properties. Results demonstrated that PRP deposits within the pores of the cross-linked hydrogel and releases sustainably, enhancing its regenerative capabilities. The addition of PRP further improved the mechanical properties and slowed down the degradation of the hydrogel. Furthermore, the hydrogel demonstrated cytocompatibility, hemostatic properties, and time-dependent macrophage M1 to M2 phase transition, suggesting the anti-inflammatory response of the material. In an in vitro bench test simulating high-pressure fistula conditions, the hydrogel effectively occluded pressures up to 300 mmHg. In conclusion, this innovative hydrogel holds promise for ECF treatment and diverse fistula cases, marking a significant advancement in its therapeutic approaches.

The key to saving lives is to achieve instant and effective sealing hemostasis in the event of emergency bleeding. Herein, a plant oil-based EMTA/Zn2+ bioadhesive is prepared by a facile reaction of epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) with methacrylic acid (MAA) and tannic acid (TA), followed by the addition of zinc ions for coordination with TA. The EMTA/Zn2+ bioadhesive can be rapidly cured in situ at the wound site through photo-cross-linking under ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diode (LED) irradiation within 30 s, achieving ultrastrong wet-tissue adhesion performance of 92.4 and 51.8 kPa to porcine skin and aortic skin after 7 days underwater, respectively. Especially, the EMTA/Zn2+ bioadhesive exhibits outstanding sealing performance in vitro with the high burst pressure of 525 mmHg (70 kPa) and 337.5 mmHg (45 kPa) to porcine skin and aortic skin, respectively. Moreover, the EMTA/Zn2+ bioadhesive not only has outstanding hemocompatibility and good biodegradability but also exhibits excellent cytocompatibility and antibacterial properties. Notably, the EMTA/Zn2+ bioadhesive has remarkable instant sealing hemostatic ability for hemorrhaging liver in vivo. Therefore, the prepared plant oil-based EMTA/Zn2+ bioadhesive can serve as a charming alternative candidate for instant sealing hemostasis in clinical applications, especially in traumatic internal organs and arterial bleeding.

The use of fibrin glue for inguinal hernia mesh fixation has been suggested to be effective in preventing hematomas and reducing postoperative pain compared to tacks and sutures.. The effect of fibrin glue can vary significantly based on the device used. This study assessed the efficacy of fibrin glue based on the type of devices used in an ex vivo system. The rabbit's abdominal wall was trimmed to a size of 3.0 × 6.0 cm and was secured at the edges with metal fixtures. To measure the maximum tensile strength at the point of adhesion failure, the hernia mesh was fixed to the rabbit's abdominal wall using fibrin glue in a 2 cm square area, left for 3 min, and then pulled at a speed of 50 cm/min. The test was conducted 10 times for each group. The median (minimum-maximum) tensile strength values using the spraying, two-liquid mixing, and sequential layering methods were 3.58 (1.99-4.95), 0.51 (0.27-1.89), and 1.32 (0.63-1.66) N, respectively. The spraying method had predominantly higher tensile strength values than the two-liquid mixing and sequential layering methods (P < 0.01). In conclusion, in hernia mesh fixation, the spraying method can be adopted to achieve appropriate adhesive effects.

Stimuli-responsive adhesives with on-demand adhesion capabilities are highly advantageous for facilitating wound healing. However, the triggering conditions of stimuli-responsive adhesives are cumbersome, even though some of them are detrimental to the adhesive and adjacent natural tissues. Herein, a novel stimuli-responsive adhesive called shear-stiffening adhesive (SSA) has been created by constructing a poly(diborosiloxane)-based silicone network for the first time, and SSA exhibits a rate-responsive adhesion behavior. Furthermore, we introduced bactericidal factors (PVP-I) into SSA and applied it as a wound dressing to promote the healing of infected wounds. Impressively, the wound dressing not only has excellent biocompatibility and long-term antibacterial properties but also performs well in accelerating wound healing. Therefore, this study provides a new strategy for the synthesis of intelligent adhesives with force rate response, which simplifies the triggering conditions by the force rate. Thus, SSA has great potential to be applied in wound management as an intelligent bioadhesive with on-demand adhesion performance.

Conventional wound approximation devices, including sutures, staples, and glues, are widely used but risk of wound dehiscence, local infection, and scarring can be exacerbated in these approaches, including in diabetic and obese individuals. This study reports the efficacy and quality of tissue repair upon photothermal sealing of full-thickness incisional skin wounds using silk fibroin-based laser-activated sealants (LASEs) containing copper chloride salt (Cu-LASE) or silver nanoprisms (AgNPr-LASE), which absorb and convert near-infrared (NIR) laser energy to heat. LASE application results in rapid and effective skin sealing in healthy, immunodeficient, as well as diabetic and obese mice. Although lower recovery of epidermal structure and function was seen with AgNPr-LASE sealing, likely because of the hyperthermia induced by laser and presence of this material in the wound space, this approach resulted in higher enhancement in recovery of skin biomechanical strength compared to sutures and Cu-LASEs in diabetic, obese mice. Histological and immunohistochemical analyses revealed that AgNPr-LASEs resulted in significantly lower neutrophil migration to the wound compared to Cu-LASEs and sutures, indicating a more muted inflammatory response. Cu-LASEs resulted in local tissue toxicity likely because of effects of copper ions as manifested in the form of a significant epidermal gap and a 'depletion zone', which was a region devoid of viable cells proximal to the wound. Compared to sutures, LASE-mediated sealing, in later stages of healing, resulted in increased angiogenesis and diminished myofibroblast activation, which can be indicative of lower scarring. AgNPr-LASE loaded with vancomycin, an antibiotic drug, significantly lowered methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) load in a pathogen challenge model in diabetic and obese mice and also reduced post-infection inflammation of tissue compared to antibacterial sutures. Taken together, these attributes indicate that AgNPr-LASE demonstrated a more balanced quality of tissue sealing and repair in diabetic and obese mice and can be used for combating local infections, that can result in poor healing in these individuals.

Integrated wound care through sequentially promoting hemostasis, sealing, and healing holds great promise in clinical practice. However, it remains challenging for regular bioadhesives to achieve integrated care of dynamic wounds due to the difficulties in adapting to dynamic mechanical and wet wound environments. Herein, we reported a type of dehydrated, physical double crosslinked microgels (DPDMs) which were capable of in situ forming highly stretchable, compressible and tissue-adhesive hydrogels for integrated care of dynamic wounds. The DPDMs were designed by the rational integration of the reversible crosslinks and double crosslinks into micronized gels. The reversible physical crosslinks enabled the DPDMs to integrate together, and the double crosslinked characteristics further strengthen the formed macroscopical networks (DPDM-Gels). We demonstrated that the DPDM-Gels simultaneously possess outstanding tensile (â¼940 kJ/m3) and compressive (â¼270 kJ/m3) toughness, commercial bioadhesives-comparable tissue-adhesive strength, together with stable performance under hundreds of deformations. In vivo results further revealed that the DPDM-Gels could effectively stop bleeding in various bleeding models, even in an actual dynamic environment, and enable the integrated care of dynamic skin wounds. On the basis of the remarkable mechanical and appropriate adhesive properties, together with impressive integrated care capacities, the DPDM-Gels may provide a new approach for the smart care of dynamic wounds. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Integrated care of dynamic wounds holds great significance in clinical practice. However, the dynamic and wet wound environments pose great challenges for existing hydrogels to achieve it. This work developed robust adhesive hydrogels for integrated care of dynamic wounds by designing dehydrated, physical double crosslinked microgels (DPDMs). The reversible and double crosslinks enabled DPDMs to integrate into macroscopic hydrogels with high mechanical properties, appropriate adhesive strength and stable performance under hundreds of external deformations. Upon application at the injury site, DPDM-Gels efficiently stopped bleeding, even in an actual dynamic environment and showed effectiveness in integrated care of dynamic wounds. With the fascinating properties, DPDMs may become an effective tool for smart wound care.

Management of infections at ocular injury often requires prolonged and high dose of antibiotic, which is associated with challenges of antibiotic resistance and bacterial biofilm formation. Tissue glues are commonly used for repairing ocular tissue defects and tissue regeneration, but they are ineffective in curing infection. There is a critical need for antibacterial ocular bio-adhesives capable of both curing infection and aiding wound closure. Herein, we present the development of an imine crosslinked N-(2-hydroxypropyl)-3-trimethylammonium chitosan chloride (HTCC)silver chloride nanocomposites (QAm1-Agx) and poly-dextran aldehyde (PDA) based bactericidal sealant (BacSeal). BacSeal exhibited potent bactericidal activity against a broad spectrum of bacteria including their planktonic and stationary phase within a short duration of 4 h. BacSeal effectively reduced biofilm-embedded MRSA and Pseudomonas aeruginosa by â¼99.99 %. In ex-vivo human cornea infection model, BacSeal displayed â¼99 % reduction of ocular infection. Furthermore, the hydrogel exhibited excellent sealing properties by maintaining ocular pressure up to 75 mm-Hg when applied to human corneal trauma. Cytotoxicity assessment and hydrogel-treated human cornea with a retained tissue structure, indicate its non-toxic nature. Collectively, BacSeal represents a promising candidate for the development of an ocular sealant that can effectively mitigate infections and may assist in tissue regeneration by sealing ocular wounds.

Uncontrolled bleeding and wound infections following severe trauma pose significant challenges for existing tissue adhesives, primarily due to their weak wet adhesion, slow adhesion formation, cytotoxicity concerns, and lack of antibacterial properties. Herein, an injectable hydrogel (denoted as ES gel) with rapid, robust adhesive sealing and inherent antibacterial activity based on ε-polylysine and a poly(ethylene glycol) derivative is developed. The engineered hydrogel exhibits rapid gelation behavior, high mechanical strength, strong adhesion to various tissues, and can sustain an ultrahigh burst pressure of 450 mmHg. It also presents excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, antibacterial properties, and on-demand removability. Significantly improved hemostatic efficacy of ES gel compared to fibrin glue is demonstrated using various injury models in rats and rabbits. Remarkably, the adhesive hydrogel can effectively halt lethal non-compressible hemorrhages in visceral organs (liver, spleen, and heart) and femoral artery injury models in fully anticoagulated pigs. Furthermore, the hydrogel outperforms commercial products in sutureless wound closure and repair in the rat liver defect, skin incision, and infected full-thickness skin wound models. Overall, this study highlights the promising clinical applications of ES gel for managing uncontrolled hemorrhage, sutureless wound closure, and infected wound repair.

BACKGROUND: The fundamental prerequisite for prognostically favorable postoperative results of peripheral nerve repair is stable neurorrhaphy without interruption and gap formation. METHODS: This study evaluates 60 neurorrhaphies on femoral chicken nerves in terms of the procedure and the biomechanical properties. Sutured neurorrhaphies (n = 15) served as control and three sutureless adhesive-based nerve repair techniques: Fibrin glue (n = 15), Histoacryl glue (n = 15), and the novel polyurethane adhesive VIVO (n = 15). Tensile and elongation tests of neurorrhaphies were performed on a tensile testing machine at a displacement rate of 20 mm/min until failure. The maximum tensile force and elongation were recorded. RESULTS: All adhesive-based neurorrhaphies were significant faster in preparation compared to sutured anastomoses (p < 0.001). Neurorrhaphies by sutured (102.8 [cN]; p < 0.001), Histoacryl (91.5 [cN]; p < 0.001) and VIVO (45.47 [cN]; p < 0.05) withstood significant higher longitudinal tensile forces compared to fibrin glue (10.55 [cN]). VIVO, with â³L/L0 of 6.96 [%], showed significantly higher elongation (p < 0.001) compared to neurorrhaphy using fibrin glue. CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of an in vitro study the adhesive-based neurorrhaphy technique with VIVO and Histoacryl have the biomechanical potential to offer alternatives to sutured neuroanastomosis because of their stability, and faster handling. Further in vivo studies are required to evaluate functional outcomes and confirm safety.

Tissue adhesives and sealants offer promising alternatives to traditional wound closure methods, but the existing trade-off between biocompatibility and strength is still a challenge. The current study explores the potential of a gelatin-alginate-based hydrogel, cross-linked with a carbodiimide, and loaded with two functional fillers, the hemostatic agent kaolin and cellulose fibres, to improve the hydrogel's mechanical strength and hemostatic properties for use as a sealant. The effect of the formulation parameters on the mechanical and physical properties was studied, as well as the biocompatibility and microstructure. The incorporation of the two functional fillers resulted in a dual micro-composite structure, with uniform dispersion of both fillers within the hydrogel, and excellent adhesion between the fillers and the hydrogel matrix. This enabled to strongly increase the sealing ability and the tensile strength and modulus of the hydrogel. The fibres' contribution to the enhanced mechanical properties is more dominant than that of kaolin. A combined synergistic effect of both fillers resulted in enhanced sealing ability (247%), tensile strength (400%), and Young's modulus (437%), compared to the unloaded hydrogel formulation. While the incorporation of kaolin almost did not affect the physical properties of the hydrogel, the incorporation of the fibres strongly increased the viscosity and decreased the gelation time and swelling degree. The cytotoxicity tests indicated that all studied formulations exhibited high cell viability. Hence, the studied new dual micro-composite hydrogels may be suitable for medical sealing applications, especially when it is needed to get a high sealing effect within a short time. The desired hemostatic effect is obtained due to kaolin incorporation without affecting the physical properties of the sealant. Understanding the effects of the formulation parameters on the hydrogel's properties enables the fitting of optimal formulations for various medical sealing applications.

Hydrogels incorporating natural biopolymer and adhesive substances have extensively been used to develop bioactive drugs and to design cells encapsulating sturdy structure for biomedical applications. However, the conjugation of the adhesive in most hydrogels is insufficient to maintain long-lasting biocompatibility inadequate to accelerate internal organ tissue repair in the essential native cellular microenvironment. The current work elaborates the synthesis of charged choline-catechol ionic liquid (BIL) adhesive and a hydrogel with an electronegative atom rich polyphenol (PU)-laden gelatinmethacryloyl (GelMA) to improve the structural bioactivities for in vivo tracheal repair by inducing swift crosslinking along with durable mechanical and tissue adhesive properties. It was observed that bioactive BIL and PU exhibited potent antioxidant (IC 50 % of 7.91 µg/mL and 24.55 µg/mL) and antibacterial activity against E. coli, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus. The novel integration of photocurable GelMA-BIL-PU revealed outstanding mechanical strength, biodegradability and sustained drug release. The in vitro study showed exceptional cell migration and proliferation in HBECs, while in vivo investigation of the GelMA-BIL-PU hydrogel on a rat's tracheal model revealed remarkable tracheal reconstruction, concurrently reducing tissue inflammation. Furthermore, the optimized GelMA-BIL-PU injectable adhesive bioink blend demonstrated superior MSCs migration and proliferation, which could be a strong candidate for developing stem cell-rich biomaterials to address multiple organ defects.

Moldable tissue-sealant hydrogels were developed herein by combining the yield stress fluidity of a Carbomer and in situ cross-linking of 3-arm PEG-thiol (PEG-SH) and 4-arm PEG-acrylate (PEG-AC). The Carbomer was mixed with each PEG oligomer to form two aqueous precursors: Carbomer/PEG-SH and Carbomer/PEG-AC. The two hydrogel precursors exhibited sufficient yield stress (>100 Pa) to prevent dripping from their placement on the tissue surface. Moreover, these hydrogel precursors exhibited rapid restructuring when the shear strain was repeatedly changed. These rheological properties contribute to the moldability of these hydrogel precursors. After mixing these two precursors, they were converted from yield-stress fluids to chemically cross-linked hydrogels, Carbomer/PEG hydrogel, via thiol-Michael addition. The gelation time was 5.0 and 11.2 min at 37 and 25 °C, respectively. In addition, the Carbomer/PEG hydrogels exhibited higher cellular viability than the pure Carbomer. They also showed stable adhesiveness and burst pressure resistance to various tissues, such as the skin, stomach, colon, and cecum of pigs. The hydrogels showed excellent tissue sealing in a cecum ligation and puncture model in mice and improved the survival rate due to their tissue adhesiveness and biocompatibility. The Carbomer/PEG hydrogel is a potential biocompatible tissue sealant that surgeons can mold. It was revealed that the combination of in situ cross-linkable PEG oligomers and yield stress fluid such as Carbomer is effective for developing the moldable tissue sealant without dripping of its hydrogel precursors.

Achieving underwater adhesion possesses a significant challenge, primarily due to the presence of interfacial water, which restricts the potential applications of adhesives. In this study, we present a straightforward and environmentally friendly one-pot approach for synthesizing a solvent-free supramolecular TPFe bioadhesive composed of thioctic acid, proanthocyanidins, and FeCl3. The bioadhesive exhibits excellent biocompatibility and photothermal antibacterial properties and demonstrates effective adhesion on various substrates in both wet and dry environments. Importantly, the adhesive strength of this bioadhesive on steel exceeds 1.2 MPa and that on porcine skin exceeds 100 kPa, which is greater than the adhesive strength of most reported bioadhesives. In addition, the bioadhesive exhibits the ability to effectively halt bleeding, close wounds promptly, and promote wound healing in the rat skin wound model. Therefore, the TPFe bioadhesive has potential as a medical bioadhesive for halting bleeding quickly and promoting wound healing in the biomedical field. This study provides a new idea for the development of bioadhesives with firm wet adhesion.

Development of bioadhesives that can be facilely delivered by endoscope and exhibit instant and robust adhesion with gastric tissues to promote gastric ulcer healing remains challenging. In this study, an advanced bioadhesive is prepared through free radical polymerization of ionized N-acryloyl phenylalanine (iAPA) and N-[tris (hydroxymethyl) methyl] acrylamide (THMA). The precursory polymer solution exhibits low viscosity with the capability for endoscope delivery, and the hydrophilic-hydrophobic transition of iAPA upon exposure to gastric acid can trigger gelation through phenyl groups assisted multiple hydrogen bonds formation and repel water molecules on tissue surface to establish favorable environment for interfacial interactions between THMA and functional groups on tissues. The in-situ formed hydrogel features excellent stability in acid environment (14 days) and exhibits firm wet adhesion to gastric tissue (33.4 kPa), which can efficiently protect the wound from the stimulation of gastric acid and pepsin. In vivo studies reveal that the bioadhesive can accelerate the healing of ulcers by inhibiting inflammation and promoting capillary formation in the acetic acid-induced gastric ulcer model in rats. Our work may provide an effective solution for the treatment of gastric ulcers clinically.

Wounds often necessitate the use of instructive biomaterials to facilitate effective healing. Yet, consistently filling the wound and retaining the material in place presents notable challenges. Here, we develop a new class of injectable tissue adhesives by leveraging the dynamic crosslinking chemistry of Schiff base reactions. These adhesives demonstrate outstanding mechanical properties, especially in regard to stretchability and self-healing capacity, and biodegradability. Furthermore, they also form robust adhesion to biological tissues. Their therapeutic potential was evaluated in a rodent model of volumetric muscle loss (VML). Ultrasound imaging confirmed that the adhesives remained within the wound site, effectively filled the void, and degraded at a rate comparable to the healing process. Histological analysis indicated that the adhesives facilitated muscle fiber and blood vessel formation, and induced anti-inflammatory macrophages. Notably, the injured muscles of mice treated with the adhesives displayed increased weight and higher force generation than the control groups. This approach to adhesive design paves the way for the next generation of medical adhesives in tissue repair.

Biodegradable self-healing hydrogels with antibacterial property attracted growing attentions in biomedication as wound dressings since they can prevent bacterial infection and promote wound healing process. In this research, a biodegradable self-healing hydrogel with ROS scavenging performance and enhanced tissue adhesion was fabricated from dopamine grafted oxidized pectin (OPD) and naphthoate hydrazide terminated PEO (PEO NH). At the same time, Fe3+ ions were incorporated to endow the hydrogel with near-infrared (NIR) triggered photothermal property to obtain antibacterial activity. The composite hydrogel showed good hemostasis performance based on mussel inspired tissue adhesion with biocompatibility well preserved. As expected, the composition of FeCl3 improved conductivity and endowed photothermal property to the hydrogel. The in vivo wound repairing experiment revealed the 808 nm NIR light triggered photothermal behavior of the hydrogel reduced the inflammation response and promoted wound repairing rate. As a result, this composite FeCl3/hydrogel shows great potential to be an excellent wound dressing for the treatment of infection prong wounds with NIR triggers.

Suture pull-through is a clinical problem in meniscus repair surgery due to the sharp leading edge of sutures. Several tissue adhesives have been developed as an alternative to traditional suturing; however, there is still no suitable tissue adhesive specific for meniscus repair treatment due to unsatisfactory biosafety, biodegradable, sterilizable, and tissue-bonding characteristics. In this study, we used a tissue adhesive composed of chitosan hydrochloride reacted with oxidative periodate-oxidized dextran (ChitHCl-DDA) combined with a chitosan-based hydrogel and oxidative dextran to attach to the meniscus. We conducted viscoelastic tests, viscosity tests, lap shear stress tests, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, swelling ratio tests, and degradation behavior tests to characterize these materials. An MTT assay, alcian blue staining, migration assay, cell behavior observations, and protein expression tests were used to understand cell viability and responses. Moreover, ex vivo and in vivo tests were used to analyze tissue regeneration and biocompatibility of the ChitHCl-DDA tissue adhesive. Our results revealed that the ChitHCl-DDA tissue adhesive provided excellent tissue adhesive strength, cell viability, and cell responses. This tissue adhesive has great potential for torn meniscus tissue repair and regeneration.
