This work evaluated the effects of UV irradiation, plasma radiation, steam and 70% ethanol treatments on the sterilization and integrity of auto-crosslinked hyaluronic acid (HA-ACP) scaffolds structured in microparticles and sponges aiming in vivo applications for regenerative medicine of bone tissue. The integrity of the microparticles was characterized by rheological behavior, while for the sponges, it was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The effectiveness of the sterilization treatment was verified by the number of microorganism colonies in the samples after the treatments. In conclusion, plasma radiation was the best treatment for the sponges, while steam sterilization in the autoclave at 126°C (1.5 kgf/cm2) for 5 min was the best treatment for the microparticles.

Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells and auto-crosslinked hyaluronic acid gel complex for treatment of intrauterine adhesion.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the therapeutic characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells generated from human umbilical cord (hUC-MSCs) when utilized in conjunction with auto-crosslinked hyaluronic acid gel (HA-gel) for the management of intrauterine adhesion (IUA). The goal was to see how this novel therapy could enhance healing and improve outcomes for IUA patients.
Methods: In this study, models of intrauterine adhesion (IUA) were established in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, which were then organized and divided into hUC-MSCs groups.

Unlabelled: This study was conducted to provide information regarding the chemistry-including structure, synthesis, formulation, and mechanical properties-of two types of chemically modified anti-adhesion gels made of hyaluronic acid. Gel A (Hyalobarrier) and gels B and C (HyaRegen and MetaRegen) that are used in postsurgical adhesion prevention. To date, little information is available on their physicochemical attributes.

Study Question: Are the long-term reproductive outcomes following recurrent dilatation and curettage (D&C) for miscarriage in women with identified and treated intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) comparable to women without IUAs.
Summary Answer: Reproductive outcomes in women with identified and treated IUAs following recurrent D&C for miscarriage are impaired compared to women without IUAs; fewer ongoing pregnancies and live births are achieved with a prolonged time to a live birth.
What Is Known Already: The Prevention of Adhesions Post Abortion (PAPA) study showed that application of auto-crosslinked hyaluronic acid (ACP) gel, an absorbable barrier in women undergoing recurrent D&C for miscarriage resulted in a lower rate of IUAs, 13% versus 31% (relative risk 0.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of different adhesion barriers in the prevention of de novo adhesion development after laparoscopic myomectomy.
Methods: A systematic review was performed by searching seven electronic databases for all randomized clinical trials (RCTs) comparing the use of any absorbable adhesion barrier (i.e.

Intrauterine adhesion (IUA), which mainly occurs after intrauterine surgery or an inflammatory process, is an important but often neglected condition in women of reproductive age. The presentation of IUA varies greatly, ranging from symptom-free to severe, with amenorrhea or infertility. With much advanced development of intrauterine instruments, more intrauterine diseases can be successfully cured by hysteroscopic surgery.
