Internal hernias are one of the most devastating late, postsurgical complications associated with laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). The objective of this study was to determine whether placement of a bioabsorbable tissue matrix in soft tissue defects after gastric bypass resulted in a lower incidence of internal hernia development. Prospective database was used to identify all patients who underwent LRYGB between January 2002 and January 2016. These patients were then retrospectively reviewed to determine the development of internal hernia. Before 2009, the retro-Roux defect was left open during the primary operation and the defect at the jejunojejunostomy was closed with sutures or staples. Beginning in 2009, all soft tissue internal defects were reinforced with an 8 cm 3 8-cm piece of bioabsorbable matrix. The incidence of subsequent internal hernia development was compared between these two groups: no bioabsorbable matrix versus use of a bioabsorbable matrix. A total of 2771 patients underwent LRYGB during our study period. From these, 1215 procedures were performed without tissue reinforcement and 1556 were performed using a bioabsorbable matrix. During the study period, 274 patients developed an internal hernia. Patients who did not have tissue reinforcement at closure had a significantly higher internal hernia rate [225/1215 (18.5%) vs 49/1556 (3.1%), P < 0.005]. This study demonstrates a statistically significant reduction in internal hernia formation after LRYGB with the addition of a bioabsorbable tissue matrix. Although prospective studies are needed, early evidence suggests that reinforcement with a bioabsorbable tissue scaffold is an effective method for minimizing internal hernias after LRYGB.

Iron oxide nanoparticles were employed to fabricate a soft tissue scaffold with enhanced physicochemical and biological characteristics. Growth promotion effect of L-lysine coated magnetite (Lys@Fe3O4) nanoparticles on the liver cell lines was proved previously. So, in the current experiment these nanoparticles were employed to fabricate a soft tissue scaffold with growth promoting effect on the liver cells. Lys@Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized via co-precipitation reaction. Resulted particles were ~7 nm in diameter and various concentrations (3, 5, and 10 wt%) of these nanoparticles were used to fabricate nanocomposite PCL fibers. Electrospinning technique was employed and physicochemical characteristics of the resulted nanofibers were evaluated. Electron micrographs and EDX-mapping analysis showed that nanoparticles were well dispersed in the PCL fibers and no bead structure were formed. As expected, incorporation of Lys@Fe3O4 to the PCL nanofibers resulted in a reduction in hydrophobicity of the scaffold. Nanocomposite scaffolds were shown increased tensile strength with increasing concentration of employed nanoparticles. In contrast to PCL scaffold, nearly 150% increase in the cell viability was observed after 3-days exposure to the nanocomposite scaffolds. This study indicates that incorporation of magnetite nanoparticles in the PCL fibers make them more prone to cell attachment. However, incorporated nanoparticles can provide the attached cells with valuable iron element and consequently promote the cells growth rate. Based on the results, magnetite enriched PCL nanofibers could be introduced as a scaffold to enhance the biological performance for liver tissue engineering purposes.

Recently, in the field of biomaterials for soft tissue scaffolds, the interest of their modification with natural polymersis growing. Synthetic polymers are often tough, and many of them do not possess fine biocompatibility. On the other hand, natural polymers are biocompatible but weak when used alone. The combination of natural and synthetic polymers gives the suitable properties for tissue engineering requirements. In our study, we modified gelatin synthetic polyurethanes prepared from polyester poly(ethylene-butylene adipate) (PEBA), aliphatic 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), and two different chain extenders 1,4-butanediol (BDO) or 1-ethoxy-2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethanol (EHEE). From a chemical point of view, we replaced expensive components for building PU, such as 2,6-diisocyanato methyl caproate (LDI) and 1,4-diisocyanatobutane (BDI), with cost-effective HDI. The gelatin was added in situ (in the first step of synthesis) to polyurethane to increase biocompatibility and biodegradability of the obtained material. It appeared that the obtained gelatin-modified PU foams, in which chain extender was BDO, had enhanced interactions with media and their hydrolytic degradation profile was also improved for tissue engineering application. Furthermore, the gelatin introduction had positive impact on gelatin-modified PU foams by increasing their hemocompatibility.

AbstractOver the last years, hyaluronic acid (HA) injectable dermal fillers (DFs) have become the most popular agents for soft tissue contouring and volumizing. HA fillers are characterized by most of the properties that an ideal DF should have, due to HA unique chemical-physical properties, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and versatility. Therefore, HA DFs have revolutionized the filler market with a high number of products, which differ in terms of HA source, cross-linkage (agent and degree), HA concentration, hardness, cohesivity, consistency, inclusion or lack of anesthetic, indication, and longevity of correction. The article first provides a general introduction to DF world, and an overview of the different materials is available for fillers. Second, it describes the characteristics and the peculiarities of HA fillers, their differences from the other available materials, and therefore the reasons at the base of their success. Moreover, an update regarding the main Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved fillers is presented.
