Article Citation Count: 94Development of Satureja cuneifolia-loaded sodium alginate/polyethylene glycol scaffolds produced by 3D-printing technology as a diabetic wound dressing material(Elsevier, 2020) Ilhan, Elif; Cesur, Sumeyye; Guler, Ece; Topal, Fadime; Albayrak, Deniz; Guncu, Mehmet Mucahit; Gunduz, OguzhanAcute wounds are a common health problem, with millions of people affected and decreased granulation tissue formation and vascularization, it is also a big challenge for wound care researchers to promote acute wound healing around the globe. This study aims to produce and characterize Satureja cuneifolia plant extract (SC) blended with sodium alginate (SA) /polyethylene glycol (PEG) scaffolds for the potential treatment of diabetic ulcer. SA/PEG scaffolds were prepared by adding different concentrations (1, 3, and 5 wt%) of PEG to 9 wt% SA. The morphological and chemical composition of the resulting 3D printed composite scaffolds was determined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. Mechanical and thermal properties, swelling, and degradation behaviours were also investigated. The release kinetics of SC were performed. The antimicrobial analysis was evaluated against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus strains. 3D printed scaffolds have shown an excellent antibacterial effect, especially against gram-positive bacteria due to the antibacterial SC extract they contain. Furthermore, the cell viability of fibroblast (L929) cells on/within scaffolds were determined by the colourimetric MTT assay. The SA/PEG/SC scaffolds show a great promising potential candidate for diabetic wound healing and against bacterial infections. (c) 2020 Elsevier B.V.

Üretilen doku iskelelerinin karakterizasyonları kalınlık ölçümleri, Taramalı Elektron Mikroskopisi (SEM) analizleri, temas açısı (CA) ölçümleri, Fourier dönüşümü kızılötesi spektroskopisi (FTIR) ve mekanik testlerle yapılmıştır. SEM mikrograflarına göre, tüm elektroeğrilmiş doku iskele yüzeyleri eşdağılımlı düzgün bir morfoloji sergilerken, çözücü döküm yüzeyleri pürüzsüz ve gözeneksizdir. CA (⁰) ölçümleri, çözücü döküm yüzeylerinin orta derecede hidrofilikliğe (~60⁰) sahip olduğunu gösterirken, elektroeğrilmiş bölgeler daha hidrofobik bir karaktere sahiptir (elekroeğirme kaplı yüzey için ~110⁰ ve elektroeğrilmiş desenler için ~85⁰). Mekanik testler, üretilen iskelelerin kırılgan ve gevrek bir karaktere sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca 7 gün süre ile fare fibroblast (L929) hücreleri ile hücre kültürü çalışmaları yapılmış ve hücre tutunma analizi, MTT analizi, floresans ve SEM analizleri yürütülmüştür. Hücre kültürü çalışmaları, hücrelerin, çözücü döküm ve elektroeğrilmiş yüzeylerinde farklı tutunma ve üreme eğilimlerine sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Böylece, çözücü dökülmüş yüzeyler üzerinde elektroeğrilmiş desenler oluşturularak, hücre tutunması ve proliferasyonunun oluşturulan desenler aracılığıyla manipüle edilmesiyle, hücreleri yönlendirmek mümkün olmuştur.Article Citation Count: 0Surface patterning of poly(ε-caprolactone) scaffolds by electrospinning for monitoring cell biomass behavior(Springer, 2022) Şaşmazel, Hilal Türkoğlu; Sasmazel, Hilal Turkoglu; Metallurgical and Materials EngineeringThe aim of this work was to produce three-dimensional fibrous surface patterns of poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL), onto two-dimensional smooth solvent cast PCL surfaces with an electrospinning method by using a mask/stencil for monitoring cell biomass behavior. The characterizations of produced scaffolds were done by thickness measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses, contact angle (CA) measurements, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and mechanical tests. According to SEM micrographs, all of the electrospun scaffold surfaces exhibited bead-free and uniform morphology while solvent cast surfaces were smooth and nonporous. CA measurements revealed that the solvent cast surfaces had moderate hydrophilicity (similar to 60 degrees) while electrospun regions had a more hydrophobic character (similar to 110 degrees for fully electrospun surfaces and similar to 85 degrees for electrospun patterns). Mechanical testing showed the produced scaffolds had a brittle character. Moreover, cell culture studies were performed with mouse fibroblast (L929) cells for 7 days period, and cell attachment assay, MTT assay, fluorescence, and SEM analyses were done. Cell culture studies indicated that the solvent cast and electrospun patterns have different characteristics for cell behavior. Thus, cell movement, attachment, and proliferation can be directed and monitored by obtaining different surface topographies in a single substrate surface. Based on the results of this study, it was found that patterns consisting of polymeric nanofiber structures can also be created directly by the electrospinning method.
