Summary: This study explores the effects of oxidation level on gelatin microcarriers for repairing corneal injuries, and finds that high oxidation levels can enhance the adhesion and growth of keratocytes. In a rabbit model of corneal alkali burn injury, the use of microcarriers with appropriate oxidation level effectively reduces corneal swelling, promotes collagen production and keratocan expression, and repairs the collagenous stromal architecture.

Summary: A double-layered hydrogel coating with spatiotemporal drug release capacity was applied on a poly-caprolactone (PCL) fibrous scaffold to promote quick endothelialization on vascular grafts. The composite coating consisted of dopamine-modified hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel and gelatin hydrogel, with heparin and chondroitin sulfate introduced for drug release behavior. The coating improved the surface properties of the PCL scaffold and enhanced endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis behaviors. In vitro tests confirmed the long-term anticoagulation property of the modified scaffold. This research provides a universal strategy for promoting endothelialization and anticoagulation in vascular grafts.

Summary: In this study, topical application of ascorbic acid (AA) was found to ameliorate benzalkonium chloride-induced rabbit corneal endothelial damage. The mechanism involved the transportation of AA into B4G12 cells via GLUT1, leading to increased ERK phosphorylation and cell proliferation. These findings suggest that CEC proliferation stimulated through the noncanonical AA-GLUT1-ERK axis contributes to AA-enhanced healing of corneal endothelial dysfunction (CED).

Summary: In this study, a highly effective surfactant producer strain, Bacillus Cereus GX7, was isolated from the oil tank bottom sludge of Shengli Oil Field in China. The biosurfactant produced by GX7 was identified as surfactin, a lipopeptide surfactant, through TLC, FT-IR, and LC-MS/MS analysis. The fermentation process of GX7 was optimized using single-factor experiments, focusing on the composition of fermentation medium and fermentation conditions. Glucose and peptone were found to be the best carbon and nitrogen sources, and the optimum temperature, inoculum amount, pH, rotation speed, and fermentation time for the strain were determined to be 30°C, 1%, 7.5, 150 rpm, and 48 h, respectively. After optimization, the surface tension and emulsification index of the fermentation broth were 26.84 mN/m and 57.84%, respectively. Furthermore, the biosurfactant produced by GX7 demonstrated good stability over a wide range of temperature, pH, and salt concentration.

Summary: Effective management of biofluids is crucial for in vivo surgical interventions. Recent advances include self-sealing needles, drug-eluting stents, and shear-thinning hydrogels. However, complications associated with intestinal mucosal injury and secondary damage still persist. In this study, researchers developed an interpenetrating Janus wettability stent coating that enables unidirectional draining of excessive biofluid. They also demonstrated directional biofluid movement using a self-pumping dressing with potential applications in biofluid collection and disease diagnosis through metal ion detection. This integrated system presents an opportunity for designing wound dressings with effective biofluid management and metal ion detection capabilities.
