Synthetic hydrogel scaffold is an effective vehicle for delivery of INFUSE (rhBMP2) to critical‐sized calvaria bone defects in rats

Medtronic's INFUSE Bone Graft provides surgeons with a potent tool for stimulating bone formation. Current delivery vehicles that rely on Absorbable Collagen Sponges (ACS) require excessive quantities of the active ingredient in INFUSE, recombinant human Bone Morphogenic Protein‐2 (rhBMP2), to achieve physiologically relevant concentrations of the growth factor, driving up the cost of the product and increasing the likelihood of undesirable side effects in neighboring tissues. We demonstrate that a simple light‐mediated, thiol‐ene chemistry can be used to create an effective polymer delivery vehicle for rhBMP2, eliminating the use of xenographic materials and reducing the dose of rhBMP2 required to achieve therapeutic effects. Comprised entirely of synthetic components, this system entraps rhBMP2 within a biocompatible hydrogel scaffold that is degraded by naturally occurring remodeling enzymes, clearing the way for new tissue formation. When tested side‐by‐side with ACS in a critical‐sized bone defect model in rats, this polymeric delivery system significantly increased bone formation over ACS controls. © 2012 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Prospective study on burns treated with Integra,a cellulose sponge and split thickness skin graft: Comparative clinical and histological study—Randomized controlled trial

Background

The aim of this study was to compare three different methods to cover excised burn wounds in a randomized controlled trial.

Methods

Fascially excised burn wounds, measuring 10 cm × 5 cm, were covered with Integra^®, split thickness skin graft (STSG), and a viscose cellulose sponge Cellonex™ in each of ten adult patients. Integra^® and Cellonex™ treated areas were covered with thin STSG on day 14. Biopsies were taken 3, 7, 14, and 21 days, 3 months, and 12 months after surgery, and samples were subjected to a range of immunohistochemical stains, in addition to hematoxylin and eosin (HE). Scar assessment was performed 3 and 12 months post-operatively with the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS).

Results

Inflammation was not substantial in any of the study areas, but Cellonex™ had the most neutrophils, histiocytes, and lymphocytes with significant differences on days 7 and 14. Complete vascularization of Integra^® seemed to occur later compared to the other materials. STSG had the most myofibroblasts on day 14 (p = 0.012). In VSS the quality of the scar improved in all materials from 3 to 12 months.

Conclusions

The final results for all treatments after 12 months demonstrate equal clinical appearance, as well as histological and immunohistochemical findings.     

Exploring the feasibility of the use of biopolymers as a carrier in the formulation of amorphous solid dispersions – Part I: Gelatin

Biopolymers have rarely been used so far as carriers in the formulation of amorphous solid dispersions (ASD) to overcome poor solubility of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). In an attempt to enlarge our knowledge on this topic, gelatin, type 50PS was selected. A screening study was initiated in which twelve structurally different poorly soluble biopharmaceutical classification system (BCS) Class II drugs (carbamazepine, cinnarizine, diazepam, itraconazole, nifedipine, indomethacin, darunavir (ethanolate), ritonavir, fenofibrate, griseofulvin, ketoconazole and naproxen) were selected for evaluation. Solid dispersions of five different drug loadings of these twelve compounds were prepared by lyophilization and evaluated for their solid state properties by mDSC and XR(P)D, and in vitro dissolution performance. Even without any process optimization it was possible to form either fully amorphous or partially amorphous systems, depending on the API and API to carrier ratio. Hence in this respect, gelatin 50PS behaves as any other carrier. Dissolution of the API from the solid dispersions significantly exceeded that of their crystalline counterparts. This study shows the potential of gelatin as a carrier to formulate amorphous solid dispersions.

Fabrication of a Novel Protein Sponge with Dual-Scale Porosity and Mixed Wettability Using a Clean and Versatile Microwave-Based Process

An open-porous protein sponge with mixed wettability is presented made entirely from whey proteins and with promising applications in biomedicine, pharmaceutical, and food industry. The fabrication relies on an additive-free, clean and scalable process consisting of foaming followed by controlled microwave-convection drying. Volumetric heating throughout the matrix induced by microwaves causes fast expansion and elongation of the foam bubbles, retards crust formation and promotes early protein denaturation. These effects counteract collapse and shrinkage typically encountered in convection drying of foams. The interplay of high protein content, tailored gas incorporation and controlled drying result in a dried structure with dual-scale porosity composed of open macroscopic elongated foam bubbles and microscopic pores in the surrounding solid lamellae induced by water evaporation. Due to the insolubility and mixed wettability of the denatured protein network, polar and non-polar liquids are rapidly absorbed into the interconnected capillary system of the sponge without disintegrating. While non-watery liquids penetrate the pores by capillary suction, water diffuses also into the stiff protein matrix, inducing swelling and softening. Consequently, the water-filled soft sponge can be emptied by compression and re-absorbs any wetting liquid into the free capillary space.
