Self-assembled and dynamic bond crosslinked herb-polysaccharide hydrogel with anti-inflammation and pro-angiogenesis effects for burn wound healing.

Excessive inflammation and defective angiogenesis can affect burn wound healing. Recently, naturally derived substances with anti-inflammatory and proangiogenic properties have attracted public attention. The design and fabrication of naturally derived substance-based bioactive hydrogels as wound dressings are of interest and important for regulating the complex microenvironment of the wound bed.

Hydrogel scaffolds in the treatment of spinal cord injury: a review.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a disease of the central nervous system often caused by accidents, and its prognosis is unsatisfactory, with long-term adverse effects on patients' lives. The key to its treatment lies in the improvement of the microenvironment at the injury and the reconstruction of axons, and tissue repair is a promising therapeutic strategy. Hydrogel is a three-dimensional mesh structure with high water content, which has the advantages of biocompatibility, degradability, and adjustability, and can be used to fill pathological defects by injectable flowing hydrophilic material to accurately adapt to the size and shape of the injury.

Platelet Rich Plasma in the Repair of Articular Cartilage Injury: A Narrative Review.

Objective: This paper reviews the research of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in articular cartilage injury repair, to assess the mechanism, utilization, and efficacy of PRP in the treatment of articular cartilage injury, hoping to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical application of PRP in the future.

Materials And Methods: A comprehensive database search on PRP applications in cartilage repair was performed. Among them, the retrieval time range of PRP in clinical trials of repairing knee cartilage injury was from January 1, 2021 to January 1, 2022.

MiR-615 Agomir Encapsulated in Pluronic F-127 Alleviates Neuron Damage and Facilitates Function Recovery After Brachial Plexus Avulsion.

Brachial plexus avulsion (BPA) is a devastating traumatic peripheral nerve injury complicated with paralysis of the upper extremity. We previously reported that leucine-rich repeat and immunoglobulin-like domain-containing NOGO receptor-interacting protein 1 (LINGO-1) has a potent role in inhibiting neuron survival and axonal regeneration after the central nervous system (CNS) damage and miR-615 is a potential microRNA (miRNA) negatively regulated LINGO-1. However, the effect of miR-615 in BPA remains to be elucidated.

Inhibition of LncRNA Vof-16 expression promotes nerve regeneration and functional recovery after spinal cord injury.

Our previous RNA sequencing study showed that the long non-coding RNA ischemia-related factor Vof-16 (lncRNA Vof-16) was upregulated after spinal cord injury, but its precise role in spinal cord injury remains unclear. Bioinformatics predictions have indicated that lncRNA Vof-16 may participate in the pathophysiological processes of inflammation and apoptosis. PC12 cells were transfected with a pHBLV-U6-MCS-CMV-ZsGreen-PGK-PURO vector to express an lncRNA Vof-16 knockdown lentivirus and a pHLV-CMVIE-ZsGree-Puro vector to express an lncRNA Vof-16 overexpression lentivirus.
