1. Hybrid polylactic-acid–pectin aerogels : synthesis, structural properties, and drug releaseGabrijela Horvat, Klara Žvab, Željko Knez, Zoran Novak, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Wound-dressing materials often include other materials stimulating wound healing. This research describes the first formulation of biodegradable hybrid aerogels composed of polylactic acid and pectin. The prepared hybrid material showed a highly porous structure with a surface area of 166 +/- 22.6 m(2)center dot g(-1). The addition of polylactic acid may have decreased the surface area of the pure pectin aerogel, but it improved the stability of the material in simulated body fluid (SBF). The pure pectin aerogel showed a high swelling and degradation ratio after 3 h. The addition of the polylactic acid prolonged its stability in the simulated body fluid from 24 h to more than one week, depending on the amount of polylactic acid. Biodegradable aerogels were loaded with indomethacin and diclofenac sodium as model drugs. The entrapment efficiencies were 63.4% and 62.6% for indomethacin and diclofenac sodium, respectively. Dissolution of both drugs was prolonged up to 2 days. Finally, sodium percarbonate and calcium peroxide were incorporated into the bioaerogels as chemical oxygen sources, to evaluate oxygen generation for potential wound healing applications.

2. Biomaterials and host versus graft response : a short reviewTomaž Velnar, Gorazd Bunc, Robert Klobucar, Lidija Gradišnik, 2016, pregledni znanstveni članek Opis: Biomaterials and biotechnology are increasing becoming an important area in modern medicine. The main aim in this area is the development of materials, which are biocompatible to normal tissue. Tissue-implant interactions with molecular, biological and cellular characteristics at the implant-tissue interface are important for the use and development of implants. Implantation may cause an inflammatory and immune response in tissue, foreign body reaction, systemic toxicity and imminent infection. Tissue-implant interactions determine the implant life-period. The aims of the study are to consider the biological response to implants. Biomaterials and host reactions to implants and their mechanisms are also briefly discussed.

3. Is tissue augmentation a reality in biosurgery? An experimental study of endothelial cell invasion into tissue fillerTomaž Velnar, Vladimir Smrkolj, Marjan Rupnik, Lidija Gradišnik, 2013, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: New therapeutic approaches for wound treatment are evolving. Non healing wounds in oncology and after trauma may be cured by a novel technique of tissue augmentation with soft tissue fillers. The principle resides in filling the wound with collagen filler in order to seal the defect and promote healing. Successful angiogenesis forms the basis of tissue filler survival and determines the outcome of the healing process. During this study, basic data about endothelial cell invasion into collagen-made substratum was collected that could be used for neoangiogenesis studies in tissue augmentation techniques for large wound defect treatment. In the in vitro assay, the human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) grow into a three-dimensional framework of collagenous tissue fillers, forming the basic step for angiogenesis. After heparins were used as chemotactic agents, a typical bell-shaped relationship between chemotaxis and agent concentrations was found. Significant cell infiltration was present in the assays with chemotactic agents. These observations support the potential for tissue augmentation with soft tissue fillers that could be used in acute and chronic non healing traumatic and oncology wounds after extensive surgical resections and radiotherapy.
