Article Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of topically applied hyaluronic acid on wound healing (patient-reported outcomes and clinical healing) after a palatal autogenous gingival graft is harvested.
Materials And Methods: A systematic search was performed in April 2024 in eleven electronic databases. Two investigators independently screened the references for inclusion. Outcomes of interest included postoperative pain, analgesic consumption, complete epithelialization, and color match, which were synthesized using narrative synthesis.
Results: A total of 535 results were identified and eight articles were included in the systematic review. Hyaluronic acid use on the palatal donor site had a better response to healing and wound size compared to the control sites with no agent applied. Hyaluronic acid demonstrated a positive effect in the form of complete epithelialization, and color match, with improved patient-reported outcomes such as post-operative pain.
Conclusion: Within the limitations of this systematic review, it can be concluded that hyaluronic acid shows a strong potential to improve patient-reported outcomes and clinical wound healing at the graft donor site on the palate. Future studies are required to clarify the optimal concentration, frequency of application, and synergistic effect when HA is combined with other interventions.

Radiotherapy (RT) is widely applied in tumor therapy, but inevitable side effects, especially for skin radiation injury, are still a fatal problem and life-threatening challenge for tumor patients. The main components of topical radiation protection preparations currently available on the market are antioxidants, such as SOD, which are limited by their unstable activity and short duration of action, making it difficult to achieve the effects of radiation protection and skin radiation damage treatment. Therefore, we designed a drug-free antioxidant hydrogel patch with encapsulated bioactive epidermal growth factor (EGF) for the treatment of radiation skin injury.

In recent years, quinoa protein (QP) has attracted attention for its balanced amino acids composition, but its limited techno-functional properties continue to pose challenges for its utilization. Non-enzymatic Maillard glycation is considered as a promising strategy to expand the utilization of plant proteins in food processing due to its cost-effectiveness, spontaneous nature, and the lack of need for additives to initiate the reaction. Furthermore, the use of hyaluronic acid (HA) as an ingredient in food products is becoming increasingly accepted and popular.

Osteoarthritis is a major health problem due to its high prevalence. It is a very common cause of consultation in both primary care and hospitals, implying a high care burden and health costs. Current treatment recommendations are based on a conservative approach, based mainly on physical exercise and ultimately on prosthetic surgery.
