Objectives: Thoracic reintervention is a common treatment; however, preventing adhesion of the lung to the thoracic cavity wall remains a problem. This study aimed to investigate the effect on pleural adhesion of covering the postoperative pleural injury site with cross-linked gelatin glue (gelatin plus glutaraldehyde, hereafter 'gelatin glue') and to evaluate the proliferation of healing cells on gelatin glue.
Methods: We created a rat incisional lung-wound model and compared the effects of sealing the wound with gelatin glue (group A, n = 5), fibrin glue (group B, n = 5) or fibrin glue with a polyglycolic acid sheet (group C, n = 5). Adhesions were assessed 28 days postoperatively and compared among the groups using the Karacam's scoring method. Lung-wound healing was studied histologically at day 7 postoperatively. Mesothelial cell proliferation was investigated on gelatin and fibrin glues in vitro.
Results: There were no or few adhesions of the chest wall in group A. The adhesion scores (mean ± standard deviation) were 1.2 ± 0.4, 2.6 ± 1.4 and 3.2 ± 1.2 in groups A, B and C, respectively (A vs C, P = 0.0496). During the healing process, the gelatin glue surface was covered by mesothelial-like cells. Proliferation of cultured mesothelial cells was promoted on the gelatin glue compared with the fibrin glue.
Conclusions: Covering lung wounds with the gelatin glue reduced adhesions and promoted the growth of healing cells compared with the fibrin glue. These findings suggest that the gelatin glue may help prevent adhesions and thus be a therapeutically effective biomaterial in lung surgery.

Tissue adhesives have attracted significant interest in the field of hemostasis. However, challenges including weak tissue adhesion, inadequate biocompatibility, and instability limit their clinical applications. Here, we have developed a gelatin-DOPA-knob/fibrinogen hydrogel inspired by the fibrin polymerization and mussel adhesion, resulting in a biocompatible bioadhesive with outstanding adhesion performance and great storage stability.

Objective: The application progress of medical absorbable haemostatic material (MAHM) in hemostasis during orthoapedic surgery was reviewed, in order to provide reference for clinical hemostasis program.
Methods: The domestic and foreign literature on the application of MAHM for hemostasis in orthopedic surgery was extensively reviewed and summarized.
Results: According to biocompatibility, MAHM can be divided into oxidized cellulose/oxidized regenerated cellulose materials, chitosan and its derivatives materials, starch materials, collagen and gelatin materials, and fibrin glue materials, , which can effectively reduce blood loss when used in orthopedic surgery for hemostasis.

Protein-based hydrogels are appealing materials for a variety of therapeutic uses because they are compatible, biodegradable, and adaptable to biological and chemical changes. Therefore, adherent varieties of hydrogels have received significant study; nevertheless, the majority of them show weak mechanical characteristics, transient adherence, poor biocompatibility activity, and low tensile strength. Here we are reporting, a two-component (BSA-gelatin) protein solution crosslinked with Tetrakis (hydroxymethyl) phosphonium chloride (THPC) to form a novel hydrogel.

Mucoperiosteal wound healing, as it occurs after pediatric cleft palate surgery, can be challenging due to the limitations of current treatments such as tissue flaps secured with sutures and fibrin glue. In this study, we characterized the in vitro performance of a novel composite hydrogel biomaterial designed to be employed as an in situ wound filler and enhance mucoperiosteal wound healing. We evaluated a range of photopolymerizable formulations containing methacrylated gelatin (GelMA), glycol chitosan, and bioglass microparticles.

The development of multifunctional wound adhesives is critical in clinical settings due to the scarcity of dressings with effective adhesive properties while protecting against infection by drug-resistant bacteria. Polysaccharide and gelatin-based hydrogels, known for their biocompatibility and bioactivity, assist in wound healing. This study introduces a multifunctional bioadhesive hydrogel developed through dynamic covalent bonding and light-triggered covalent bonding, comprising oxidized hyaluronic acid, methacrylated gelatin, and the bacteriocin recently discovered by our lab, named jileicin (JC).
