The water-holding capacity (WHC) is among the key factors in determining the quality of meat and its value, which is strongly influenced by the content and quality of the connective tissue proteins like collagen. Therefore, the factors that influence the proteins’ stability, e.g., pH, ionic strength, and the antioxidants which are used to increase the meat shelf-life, also affect the WHC. The interaction of collagen, whose structure is strongly influenced by the interaction with water molecules, can be studied following the behavior of water diffusion by low-resolution 1H NMR experiments. The present study is addressed to study the collagen stability as a function of pH, ionic strength, and phenolic antioxidants like catechin. The experimental study demonstrated how the 1H NMR time domain (TD) experiments are able to evaluate the hydration properties of collagen, not only as a function of ionic strength and pH, but also in determining the ability of catechin to interact both on the surface of the collagen fibrils and inside the fibrillar domain.

ABSTRACT Background: Hernia correction is a routinely performed treatment in surgical practice. The improvement of the operative technique and available materials certainly has been a great benefit to the quality of surgical results. The insertion of prostheses for hernia correction is well-founded in the literature, and has become the standard of treatment when this type of disease is discussed. Aim: To evaluate two available prostheses: the polypropylene and polypropylene coated ones in an experimental model. Methods: Seven prostheses of each kind were inserted into Wistar rats (Ratus norvegicus albinus) in the anterior abdominal wall of the animal in direct contact with the viscera. After 90 days follow-up were analyzed the intra-abdominal adhesions, and also performed immunohistochemical evaluation and videomorphometry of the total, type I and type III collagen. Histological analysis was also performed with hematoxylin-eosin to evaluate cell types present in each mesh. Results: At 90 days the adhesions were not different among the groups (p=0.335). Total collagen likewise was not statistically different (p=0.810). Statistically there was more type III collagen in the coated polypropylene group (p=0.039) while type I was not different among the prostheses (p=0.050). The lymphocytes were statistically more present in the polypropylene group (p=0.041). Conclusion: The coated prosthesis was not different from the polypropylene one regarding the adhesion. Total and type I collagen were not different among the groups, while type III collagen was more present on the coated mesh. There was a greater number of lymphocytes on the polypropylene mesh.

Introduction: Chronic venous insufficiency affects about 5% of the global adult population. Venous leg ulcers are one of the most frequent complications of this pathology, with a global prevalence of 2%. This disease affects both the quality of life of patients and, due to the high cost of the treatment, the health system. Compressive therapy and moist wound healing have been the gold standard treatment. However, when complications occur, they may not be effective.Case report: This is the case of a 66-year-old female patient with venous ulcers on her lower limbs and symptoms of fever and local pain that did not respond to conventional therapies. The patient was treated with a new dermal substitute made of an acellular type-I collagen membrane, which promotes the closure of the ulcer by stimulating the replacement of injured tissue with tissue similar to the healthy one. The condition of the patient improved at 16 weeks, and after 8 months of treatment there was no recurrence of the lesions.Conclusions: Acellular type-I collagen membrane developed by the Tissue Engineering Working Group of the Department of Pharmacy of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia is effective in treating venous ulcers of the lower limbs. Its low cost facilitates the access of the whole population to therapies based on its application.

The objective of the research was studied the effect of  acetic acid concentration and extraction time on the collagen quality of black tilapia leather. Black tilapia leather processed into collagen  as an alternative to increasing value-added of fisheries industry waste. Collagen of black tilapia was extracted by the treatment of acetic acid molarity, each: 0.25 M, 0.50 M, and 0.75 M (A factor) and  extraction time of 16 and 48 hours (B factor). Based on the analysis of variance, is known that the interaction of those treatments (AB) didn’t significantly effect on the yield  (p>0.05). Collagen extraction of tilapia leather with 0.75 M of acetic acid at 16 hours, produces the greatest yield  (5.97%), with denaturation temperature is 35.75oC, and quantitative composition of glisine, alanine, and glutamic amino acids were: 5395.82 ppm (52.99%), 2979.15 ppm (22.08%), and 1684.42 ppm (7.45%). Based on the analysis of SDS-PAGE, is known that the collagen contained were α component and β component, so that collagen of tilapia leather has type I collagen.

Abstract Purpose: To investigate the clinical, radiological, and histological results of type I collagen-based matrix-assisted autologous chondrocyte transplantation (MACT) in the treatment of chondral lesions of the knee.Methods: The study prospectively enrolled 20 patients with symptomatic knee chondral defects (mean size defect was 2.41±0.43 cm2, range 2.0 to 3.4 cm2) in the lateral femoral condyle and femoral groove who underwent type I collagen-based MACT between July 2017 and July 2019. KOOS was assessed preoperatively, with periodic clinical follow-up performed preoperatively and then every 3 months for up to 12 months postoperative period, and thereafter at 1-year intervals. During this follow-up, serial magnetic resonance imaging T2 mapping of repair cartilage was used to reflect the quantitative analysis quality of the regenerative cartilage. In one patient, second-look arthroscopy was performed at 12 months after implantation to assess the characteristics of cartilage regeneration.Results: Compared with preoperation, the score of the pain, symptoms, activities of daily living, sports and recreation, and quality of life showed statistically significant improvement with a significant difference at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after operation(P<0.05). The difference in KOOS subscales scores between every two-time point was statistically significant (P<0.001). HE stains showed the newly formed cartilage was naive chondrocytes. Safranin O-fast green stain manifested in the regenerated tissue comprising predominantly fibroblast-like cells surrounded by glycosaminoglycans. Immunohistochemistry analysis showed that the expression of collagen type II was more clearly and evenly distributed than collagen type I.Conclusion: Type I collagen-based MACT was a clinically effective treatment for functional and pain level improvement, and this method presented histologic evidence of inducing hyaline‐like cartilage in cartilage lesions by biopsy in one case. The quantitative MRI T2-mapping test showed that there was a difference between the transplanted cartilage and the surrounding hyaline cartilage.

The quantity and quality of bone tissue renewal are dependent on the generation of new bone (deposition) mediated by osteoblasts and the loss (resorption) mediated by osteoclasts. For each of these processes there are important markers that can be measured in serum or urine. Resorption markers are products of metabolic degradation of bone matrix in particu-lar of the type I collagen (hydroxyproline, pyridinoline and deoxypyridinoline). In addition, the resorptive activity can also be evaluated through the tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and calcium-creatinine ratio in urine. Bone formation markers are collagen proteins (ALP, OCN), non collagen (ONC, OPN, BSP) or fragments of collagen synthesis (procollagen peptides).

Type I collagen is the predominant collagen in the cornea with type V collagen being a quantitatively minor component. However, the content of type V collagen (10-20%) in the cornea is high when compared to other tissues containing predominantly type I collagen. The corneal stroma has a homogeneous distribution of these two collagens, however, immunochemical localization of type V collagen requires the disruption of type I collagen structure. This indicates that these collagens may be arranged as heterpolymeric fibrils. This arrangement may be responsible for the control of fibril diameter necessary for corneal transparency. The purpose of this work is to study the in vitro assembly of collagen type V and to determine whether the interactions of these collagens influence fibril morphology.
