Over a 1-year period, 584 repairs of surgical defects were completed using two different synthetic absorbable sutures, polyglactic acid (Vicryl) and polytrimethylene carbonate (Maxon). No difference in scar width or postoperative complications were found between the two sutures, but polytrimethylene carbonate (Maxon) demonstrated preferable handling and tying characteristics.

In this study, a novel flexible material was fabricated by blending chitosan (CS) with a poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) copolymer. N-methyl-D-glucamine, which acts as a polyol, was grafted onto the PTMC copolymer to produce poly(TMC-co-TMC-glucamine) (PTTG), to enhance the hydrogen bonding interactions. The CS/PTTG blend films were then fabricated using solvent casting.

Hybrid hydrogel networks were prepared from recombinant human-like collagen (rh-collagen) and poly(trimethylene carbonate-co-ε-caprolactone) (P (TMC-co-ε-CL)) to overcome the mechanical and bioactivity limitations associated with the respective individual networks. Both polymers were functionalised with methacrylic anhydride to yield photo-crosslinkable materials. Porous hybrid networks of different compositions were prepared by photo-crosslinking frozen mixtures of solutions of the functionalized polymers in acidified DMSO.

Surgical resection is an efficient treatment for cancerous tissues and uterine fibroids in the women uterus. However, the insufficiency of clinical interventions could result in tumor recurrence, and the defective tissues remained would cause intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) and further affect reproduction capacity. In this study, 3D printed hydrogel/poly(l-lactide-co-trimethylene carbonate) (PLLA-co-TMC, "PTMC" in short) core/shell scaffolds with NIR-tuned doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) and estradiol (E2) dual release were designed and fabricated for cancer therapy and uterine regeneration.

Implants made of biodegradable polymers are replaced by regenerating tissues through inflammation. The changes occurring in tissues and the organism are of practical interest for studying the biocompatibility of the material and searching for systemic markers in the blood that reflect inflammation in peri-implantation tissues. The highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) measurements in blood and morphometric studies of tissue surrounding the implant were carried out in the experiment within three months of implantation of a biopolymer consisting of polycaprolactone (PCL) and polytrimethylene carbonate (PTMC).

Article Synopsis
- Carbon monoxide (CO) plays a significant role in various biological functions and has potential as a therapeutic agent, yet its direct use in gas therapy is limited due to administration challenges.
- Researchers developed guanidinylated CO-releasing micelles made from poly(trimethylene carbonate) that can safely induce cancer cell death when exposed to light, without harming normal cells.
- These micelles enhance drug delivery efficiency through interactions with cell surfaces, paving the way for new CO-releasing nanocarriers aimed at advancing gas therapeutics in cancer treatment.
