AbstractNon-healing wounds have placed an enormous stress on both patients and healthcare systems worldwide. Severe complications induced by these wounds can lead to limb amputation or even death and urgently require more effective treatments. Electrospun scaffolds have great potential for improving wound healing treatments by providing controlled drug delivery. Previously, we developed fibrous scaffolds from complex carbohydrate polymers [i.e. chitin-lignin (CL) gels]. However, their application was limited by solubility and undesirable burst drug release. Here, a coaxial electrospinning is applied to encapsulate the CL gels with polycaprolactone (PCL). Presence of a PCL shell layer thus provides longer shelf-life for the CL gels in a wet environment and sustainable drug release. Antibiotics loaded into core–shell fibrous platform effectively inhibit both gram-positive and -negative bacteria without inducting observable cytotoxicity. Therefore, PCL coated CL fibrous gel platforms appear to be good candidates for controlled drug release based wound dressing applications.

Abstract Objective: In the scope of presented work, synthesis of water based acrylate hydrogels, characterization, and their usage in controlled drug release systems were aimed to investigate. Methods: Synthesis of acrylate based hydrogels that have different properties was carried out by free radical photopolymerization using photoinitiator. Because of its high biocompatibility, 2-hydroxyethyl metacrylate (HEMA) was used as monomer. Then drug release experiments were performed in pH 7.4 and 1.2 buffer solutions with certain ionic strength while the dynamic swelling behaviors were also determined. In the last part of the work, drug activities of synthesized drug-loaded hydrogels were tested in mediums containing Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria cultures. Results: ATR-FTIR spectrums of all synthesized hydrogels were analyzed. The characteristic O-H, C-H, C=O, C-O tension vibrations bands were observed in the spectrums of the hydrogels. The rate of drug release in acidic pH 1.2 for two types of hydrogels was observed to be much faster than at pH 7.4. It was determined that hydrogel swelling ratio decrease with increasing monomer ratio. All drug loaded hydrogels were effective to inhibit the growth of both two bacterial strains. Conclusion: Hydrogels synthesized were found to be suitable for the controlled drug delivery applications.

A series of thermo-sensitive copolymers and interpenetrating network hydrogels were prepared using PNIPAAm and HEMA.The effects of the PNIPAAm/HEMA ratio on the swelling ratio ,and deswelling and reswelling kinetics of gels at different temperatures and drug release characteristics in vitro were discussed. The results showed that the copolymer and IPN hydrogels exhibited thermo-sensitive swelling characteristics. Therefore, the hydrogels may be useful in the controlled drug delivery systems.
