Valvular heart disease (VHD) poses a significant threat to human health, and the transcatheter heart valve replacement (THVR) is the best treatment for severe VHD. Currently, the glutaraldehyde cross-linked commercial bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) remain the first choice for THVR. However, the cross-linking by glutaraldehyde exhibits several drawbacks, including calcification, inflammatory reactions, and difficult endothelialization, which limits the longevity and applicability of BHVs.

Design of sulfonic group based hyper cross-linked polymer as adsorbent for efficient enrichment of endocrine disrupters.

Anal Chim Acta

January 2025

College of Chemistry and Materials Science, Hebei University, Baoding, 071002, Hebei, China. Electronic address:

The necessity for the development of effective adsorbents to capture endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) from environmental and food samples arises from the potential health hazards that the EDCs may impose on human beings. Hence, a novel sulfonic group based hyper cross-linked polymer (HQSA-PLE-HCP) was synthesized and explored in solid phase extraction for the enrichment of some EDCs. The HQSA-PLE-HCP demonstrated an excellent adsorption capability for some EDCs (bisphenol F, bisphenol A, bishydroxyphenylbutane and p-tert-butylphenol).

Fabrication of porcine acellular dermal matrix and oxidized hyaluronic acid conductive composite hydrogels for accelerating skin wound healing under electrical stimulation.

Int J Biol Macromol

December 2024

School of Materials Science and Engineering, Zhejiang Sci-Tech University, Hangzhou 310018, China; International Scientific and Technological Cooperation Base of Intelligent Biomaterials and Functional Fibers, Hangzhou, China. Electronic address:

Electrical stimulation (ES) of skin wounds can promote cell proliferation, protein synthesis, inflammatory response, and improve neurological function. In this study, the dynamical cross-linked conductive hydrogels have been developed by integration of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) into porcine acellular dermal matrix (PADM) and oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA) using dopamine-Fe complex (DA@Fe) as cross-linking agent. The as-obtained conductive composite hydrogels have the characteristics of rapid gelation, excellent deformation ability, high water absorption, and suitable degradation rate.

Objective: To evaluate the potential protective effect of metformin against osteoarthritis development in rats.

Methods: The experimental study was conducted at the Iraqi Centre for Cancer Research and Medical Genetics, Mustansiriyah University, Baghdad, Iraq, from December 2021 to February 2022, and comprised male Sprague- Dawley mice who were divided into 5 equal groups: negative control group, osteoarthritis group subjected to monoiodoacetate induction, positive control group treated with celecoxib 30mg/kg, metformin 100mg/kg group, and metformin 200mg/kg group. Body mass index, inflammatory biomarkers, and serum C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type II collagen levels were noted for all the animals.

Cytocompatible Hydrogels with Tunable Mechanical Strength and Adjustable Swelling Properties through Photo-Cross-Linking of Poly(vinylphosphonates).

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

October 2024

Technical University of Munich, Germany, TUM School of Natural Sciences, Department of Chemistry, WACKER-Chair of Macromolecular Chemistry, Lichtenbergstraße 4, 85748 Garching, Germany.

Article Synopsis
  • A new synthetic hydrogel was developed by cross-linking poly(vinylphosphonates) using controlled polymerization methods and photoinitiated thiol-ene click chemistry, allowing for precise adjustments in composition and properties.
  • The resulting hydrogels showed increased mechanical strength with more specific monomer units, but reduced water absorption due to increased hydrophobicity; however, functionalization improved water uptake significantly.
  • The final hydrogels demonstrated compatibility for cell growth, enabling adhesion of human umbilical artery smooth muscle cells and forming an endothelial layer without inducing inflammatory responses or losing antibacterial properties.
