Background/objective: Fetal wound repair seems a relatively efficient process when compared to wound repair during adulthood, which may be explained by the effects of the fetal environment. This study examined the effects of an amnion cell culture medium (ACCM) on skin wound healing in a rat experimental model.
Methods: Sixteen adult female Wistar albino rats were used in this experimental animal study (treatment group, n = 8; control group, n = 8). Surgical wounds were formed on the dorsal skin of each rat. A commercially available ACCM was administered daily over each of the wound in the treatment group for 14 days and the control group did not receive any treatment. Wounds were evaluated for tissue perfusion with laser doppler, tissue superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels as well as histopathological examination.
Results: Controls had significantly higher tissue SOD levels when compared to the treatment group (10.0 ± 3.2 vs 6.7 ± 1.2, = .005); however, the 2 groups did not differ in terms of tissue GPX and MDA levels. For open wounds, inflammation and neovascularization were more prominent in the ACCM group at day 14. However, at day 21 neovascularization and granulation were more prominent in controls. For closed wounds, neovascularization was more prominent in controls at days 14 and 21. The 2 groups did not differ in terms of tissue perfusion.
Conclusion: Although marginal difference was found between controls and ACCM group for several parameters, findings of this study do not support beneficial effect of ACCM on wound healing.

Penetrating orocutaneous or oropharyngeal fistulas (POFs), severe complications following unsuccessful oral or oropharyngeal reconstruction, remain complex clinical challenges due to lack of supportive tissue, contamination with saliva and chewed food, and dynamic oral environment. Here, we present a Janus hydrogel adhesive (JHA) with asymmetric functions on opposite sides fabricated via a facile surface enzyme-initiated polymerization (SEIP) approach, which self-entraps surface water and blood within an in-situ formed hydrogel layer (RL) to effectively bridge biological tissues with a supporting hydrogel (SL), achieving superior wet-adhesion and seamless wound plugging. The tough SL hydrogel interlocked with RL dissipates energy to withstand external mechanical stimuli from continuous oral motions like chewing and swallowing, thus reducing stress-induced damage.

Despite the variety of proposed solutions, anastomotic leakage is still a critical complication after colorectal surgery, which causes increased clinical mortality and morbidity. By enhancing microcirculation in the colonic mucosa, the use of Iloprost (Ilo) has shown promising results for the healing of anastomosis. The purpose of this study is to examine the performance of Ilo-impregnated Polycaprolactone:Gelatin electrospun membranes (PCL/Gel/Ilo) on anastomosis repair and intra-abdominal adhesion behavior in the Rat colon.

IntroductionProlonged hyperglycemia in diabetic patients often impairs wound healing, leading to chronic infections and complications. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of fresh Tilapia fish skin as a treatment to enhance wound healing in diabetic rats. MethodsThirty-nine healthy adult albino rats, weighing between 150 and 200 g, were divided into three groups: non-diabetic rats with untreated wounds [C-], diabetic rats with untreated wounds [C+], and diabetic rats treated with fresh Tilapia skin [TT].
