RESUMO
Wound infection remains a major challenge for health professionals, because it delays wound healing and increases the overall cost and morbidity. Therefore, the development of new biomaterials with new antibacterial properties and healing effects remains a dire clinical need. To solve this problem, we developed silver nanoparticles embedded in γ-cyclodextrin metal-organic frameworks (Ag@MOF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP)-loaded hydrogel systems based on methacrylated silk fibroin (SFMA) and methacrylate hyaluronic acid (HAMA) as Ag+ ion and growth factor delivery vehicles for inhibiting the growth of drug-resistant bacteria and promoting wound healing. The prepared SFMA/HAMA hydrogel demonstrated good rheological properties, swelling capability, appropriate mechanical properties and controllable biodegradability. The SFMA/HAMA/Ag@MOF/PRP hydrogel showed sustained release profiles of Ag+ ions and EGF. The SFMA/HAMA/Ag@MOF hydrogel have good inherent antibacterial properties against both gram-negative bacteria and gram-positive bacteria. The prepared hydrogel showed excellent cytocompatibility and could stimulate the growth and proliferation rate of NIH-3T3 cells. In vivo experiments showed that SFMA/HAMA/Ag@MOF/PRP hydrogel treatment enhanced the healing of full-thickness wounds, reduced inflammatory cell infiltration, and promoted re-epithelialization and collagen synthesis. All results indicated that the prepared hydrogel has tremendous potential to reduce wound infections and improve wound healing.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of suture of pronator muscle on forearm function after modified Henry approach for distal radius fractures. METHODS: from January 2018 to December 2020, 220 patients with distal radius fractures were treated with open reduction and locking plate internal fixation through the modified Henry approach. They were divided into two groups according to different suture methods. There were 112 cases in the intraoperative suture group, including 35 males and 77 females;The age ranged from 37 to 65(48.5±7.4) years;AO classification of fracture, 46 cases of type B and 66 cases of type C;After fracture reduction and locking plate fixation, the pronator muscle was opened and sutured. There were 108 cases in the non suture group, 32 males and 76 females;The age ranged from 34 to 67(47.6±7.8) years;There were 41 cases of fracture type B and 67 cases of fracture type C;After fracture reduction and locking plate fixation, the open pronator muscle was not sutured, and it was laid on the surface of the plate in situ. The range of wrist motion (pronation, supination, palmar inclination and dorsiflexion), the score of disability of arm shoulder and hand dash and visual analog scale(VAS) were compared between the two groups at 6 weeks and 6 months after operation. RESULTS: All 220 patients were followed up for 6 to 18 (8.5±1.3) months. There was no significant difference in the range of motion and DASH score of forearm and wrist between the two groups 6 weeks after operation (P>0.05);There was significant difference in VAS score between suture group (2.6±1.2) and non suture group (5.8±2.3)(P<0.05). Six months after operation, there was no significant difference in the range of motion, DASH score and VAS score of forearm and wrist between the two groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSION: The modified Henry approach has no obvious advantages in the range of wrist movement and upper limb function, but the intraoperative suture of pronator can reduce the early postoperative pain. It is suggested that the pronator should be sutured during the operation.
