Abstract

Acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) are of major importance in managing full-thickness skin defects, both in acute and in chronic wounds. Based on the advantage of tissue specificity, ADMs provide the ideal scaffold for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering strategies to support the generation of vascularized tissue with dermal features. However, tissue source and processing methodologies used to produce ADMs influence the biochemical and structural characteristics of the final scaffold and the resulting tissue and clinical outcome. The focus of this chapter is to review the development of ADMs including requirements, manufacturing techniques, biological responses, and clinical outcomes for ADMs used for dermal replacement and wound healing applications.

Hand hygiene during COVID-19: Recommendations from the American Contact Dermatitis Society
2020, Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology

However, they are ineffective against non–lipid-enveloped viruses. COVID-19, a lipid-enveloped virus, should therefore be susceptible to synthetic detergents.9-11 Examples of common surfactants in synthetic detergents include sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, cocamide diethanolamine, sodium lauroyl oat amino acids, disodium cocoamphodiacetate, decyl glucoside, sodium cocoyl glutamate, lauryl glucoside, and cetrimonium chloride.9
The recent COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in increased hand hygiene and hand cleansing awareness. To prevent virus transmission, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends frequent hand washing with soap and water. Hand hygiene products are available in a variety of forms, and while each of these formulations may be effective against COVID-19, they may also alter skin barrier integrity and function. As health care workers and the general population focus on stringent hand hygiene, the American Contact Dermatitis Society anticipates an increase in both irritant contact and allergic contact hand dermatitis. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers with moisturizers have the least sensitizing and irritancy potential when compared to soaps and synthetic detergents. This article provides an overview of the most frequently used hand hygiene products and their associations with contact dermatitis as well as recommendations from the American Contact Dermatitis Society on how to treat and prevent further dermatitis.
Enhanced decellularization technique of porcine dermal ECM for tissue engineering applications
2019, Materials Science and Engineering C
Citation Excerpt :
Black stained elastin fibers were more prominent in protocol 2 ECM compared with protocol 1 which indicated that higher elastin fibers were retained after decellularization (Fig. 1B). Collagen provides physical and mechanical characteristic to ECM and provides scaffolding for cell adhesion while elastin contributes to mechanical properties of ECM [25]. As shown in Fig. 2A, collagen content was removed significantly in both protocols compared with native ECM (117.63 ± 8.13 μg/mg sample).
Effective removal of cellular components while retaining extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins is the ultimate goal of decellularization. The aim of this study is to produce a decellularized ECM with highly preserved ECM proteins and to determine the effect of isopropanol as a decellularization solvent on the characteristics of the decellularized porcine skin. Two different protocols were used for porcine skin decellularization. Protocol 1 consisted of Triton-X and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in water while protocol 2 consisted of Triton-X and SDS in 70% isopropanol. After decellularization, DNA components decreased significantly in protocol 2 with lower amount of lipid content and higher ECM proteins such as collagen (92.91 ± 9.02 μg/mg sample), α-elastin (142.32 ± 6.74 μg/mg sample) and sulfated glycosaminoglycan (sGAG; 7.44 ± 1.30 μg/mg sample) compared with protocol 1 ECM. Higher amount of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF; 11.26 ± 0.44 pg/mg sample) content was quantified in protocol 2 compared with protocol 1 while higher trace amount of bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP-2; 0.28 ± 0.04 pg/mg sample) was also observed in protocol 2 compared with protocol 1. Protocol 2 ECM did not significantly affect the cell viability and exhibited no cytotoxicity when exposed to three different cell lines: L929 fibroblast cells, MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblast cells, and rat mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC). Subcutaneous implantation after 7 and 21 days revealed higher cell infiltration in protocol 2 ECM and enhanced neovascularization. Isopropanol/surfactants proved to be effective in cell and lipid removal during decellularization while preserving the higher amount of ECM proteins.
