Article Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the effectiveness of fibrin glue (laparoscopic via) into promote the hemostasis of a spleen injury on a heparinized porcine model.
Methods: Eighteen Landrace porcine were submitted to laparoscopic spleen injury and randomly distributed: GHA (heparin plus adhesive), GH (heparin without adhesive) and GS (Sham - without heparin or adhesive). Ten minutes before the surgical procedures a single IV dose (200UI/kg) of heparin sodium was administrated only to groups GHA and GH. In the GHA, adhesive was applied after the mechanical injury and recorded the time until the polymerization and clot formation.
Results: No significant differences occurred among the groups (Fisher test) considering the weight and surgery time. The blood amount in the abdominal cavity on GH was significantly higher in comparison to the sham group and especially with the GHA (p<0.004). No significant differences were observed in the body temperature, heart rate, cardiac output, means arterial pressure, pulmonary artery pressure during the experiment. The activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) was lower in the GHA in comparison to GH (p<0.003).
Conclusion: The fibrin biological adhesive applied by laparoscopy is effective for hemostasis of minor spleen injury in a porcine model under the effect of anticoagulant drug.

Syndecan-1 (SDC-1) is a transmembrane protein localized on the basolateral surface of epithelial cells, encompassing a core protein with heparin sulfate and chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycan side chains. SDC-1 is involved in a panoply of cellular mechanisms including cell-to-cell adhesion, extracellular matrix interactions, cell cycle modulation, and lipid clearance. Alterations in the expression and function of SDC-1 are implicated in numerous disease entities, making it an attractive diagnostic and therapeutic target.

In clinical practice, the demand for functional small-diameter vascular grafts continues to increase. In this study, a decellularized aorta artery was inserted into a poly(caprolactone) (PCL) vascular scaffold for self-assembly in-vitro to create a hybrid scaffold. The hybrid scaffold was then implanted subcutaneously into the dorsal flanks and the subcutaneous extracellular matrix was applied for bilayer adhesion.

This work develops a bioactive basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)/heparin and FeO nanoparticles (NPs) trifunctionalized degradable construct with the potential of using as a vascular tissue engineering scaffold with the aim of improving vascular repair and regeneration therapy. The covalent modification of heparin onto the poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-gelatin (Gel)-FeO (PGF) scaffold improves the hydrophilicity of the scaffold. Furthermore, the electrostatic adsorption of bFGF on heparin allows for a more consistent and prolonged release of bFGF in situ, hence increasing the stability and effectiveness of bFGF around the surrounding vascular tissues.

Article Synopsis
- - Biofluid-contacting devices often experience biofouling, leading to issues like thrombus formation and bacterial biofilm buildup, which negatively affect device performance and health safety.
- - Traditional antifouling solutions like hydrophilic polymers and heparin coatings are usually unstable, while lubricant-infused surfaces (LIS) offer better long-term effectiveness but are complicated to produce and limited in application.
- - This study presents a new approach for creating flexible lubricant-infused poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) membranes that exhibit excellent antifouling properties and improved mechanical flexibility, potentially enhancing the performance of medical devices and implants by reducing blood clots and bacterial adhesion.
