Gamma irradiation was used to fabricate crosslinked poly(vinyl alcohol)/sericin hydrogels with different sericin concentrations, and the physicochemical and biological properties of the gamma-irradiated poly(vinyl alcohol)/sericin hydrogels were characterized. Following gamma irradiation, the hydrogels had a high gel fraction (80%–95%), implying a high degree of crosslinking. Fourier transform infrared spectra confirmed the crosslinking bonds within the hydrogels, as seen by the characteristic shift in the peak. Furthermore, a low tensile modulus together with a high elongation percentage indicated that the hydrogels were easy to handle. We also showed that all hydrogels released sericin simultaneously. The poly(vinyl alcohol)/sericin hydrogels with high sericin content released more sericin, possibly due to less crosslinking of the hydrogels. When L929 cells were cultured with the hydrogel extracts, the cells were viable and could proliferate, particularly for the cells cultured with the hydrogels containing a high sericin content, which released more sericin. Migration assays also demonstrated that the cells migrated toward the medium extract of hydrogels containing high sericin. We suggest that sterile gamma-irradiated poly(vinyl alcohol)/sericin hydrogels could be used as a wound dressing for the treatment of dry and low-exudate wounds.

The double-layered PVA/nanohydroxyapatite (nHA)-poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA)-sodium alginate (SA) porous composite scaffolds used as synthetic articular cartilage were prepared by the freeze-thawing method, gas foaming method and crosslink method of Ca2+ ion, i.e., upper PVA layer for the cartilage substitute and underlying SA30 porous hydrogels for bone bonding. The microstructure and morphology of composite hydrogels were characterized using scanning electronic microscopy (SEM).It had high porosity and uniform pores. The content of HA in SA30 matrix were tested by Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The biological properties of the composite hydrogels had been evaluated by co-culture and MTT. All results indicate that the PVA/SA30 hydrogels has good potential for repairing or replacing articular cartilage.

This paper focuses on using response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) to optimize the diameter of Gum tragacanth (GT)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofibers. However, producing curcumin-loaded GT/PVA nanofibers with using these optimized conditions is another aim. RSM methodology based on four variables (voltage, feed rate, distance between nozzle and collector, and solution concentration) with three levels and ANN technique were compared for modeling the average diameter of nanofibers. In the RSM method, the individual and interaction effects between the parameters on the average diameter of nanofibers were determined using Box-Behnken design (BBD). Data sets of input–output patterns were used for training the multilayer perceptron (MP) neural networks trained with back-propagation algorithm for modeling purpose. Experimental results for both ANN and RSM techniques showed agreement with the predicted fiber diameter. High-regression coefficient between the variables and the response displayed that the performance of RSM for minimizing diameter of nanofibers was better than ANN. Based on response surface model, optimum conditions (polymer concentration of 4.2% (w/v), distance between the capillary and collector 20 cm, applied voltage of 20 kV and flow rate of 0.5 mL/h) were obtained for producing GT/PVA nanofibers with minimized diameter. Then curcumin-loaded GT/PVA nanofibers were produced with acquired optimum condition and the effect of curcumin concentration (3 and 5% (w/v)) on the morphology, diameter and biological properties of nanofibers was investigated.
