"Kulit artifisial adalah susunan biomaterial yang terdiri dari sel, perancah, dan molekul bioaktif dan diaplikasaikan sebagai pengganti kulit yang rusak dalam terapi luka kronis. Perancah yang kompatibel secara biologis maupun fisikokimia masih menjadi fokus penelitian dari pengembangan kulit artifisial saat ini. Polikaprolakton (PCL) memiliki potensi sebagai material penyusun perancah karena biokompatibilitas, sifat mekanik, dan fleksibilitasnya. Namun, PCL memiliki bioaktivitas yang rendah sehingga perlu ditambahkan suatu bahan alami. Pada penelitian ini, Umbilical Cord Blood Serum atau Umbilical Cord Blood Serum (UCBS) dan Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) yang kaya akan molekul bioaktif dan matriks ekstraseluler ditambahkan ke perancah PCL sebagai coating. Perancah PCL difabrikasi terlebih dahulu dengan PCL 20% dengan metode freeze-drying. Kemudian, perancah di-coating dengan UCBS atau PRP dengan metode dip-coating dan gelasi termal atau dengan CaCl2. Pada penelitian ini, kedua coating meningkatkan biokompatibilitas perancah pcl yaitu perlekatan sel (78.90±3.65%-89.45±3.65%) dan viabilitas sel hingga (84.99%-99.23±3.72%). Perancah yang di-coating memiliki kekuatan tekan 2.78±0.005-3.58±0.64 Mpa) berpermukaan kasar, tingkat swelling 33.48±3.32%-50.15±1.39%), dan porositas 1.24±0.27%-1.79±0.12%. Maka dari itu, baik UCBS maupun PRP dapat meningkatkan biokompatibilitas perancah PCL sebagai kulit artifisial.

Artificial skin is a construct of biomaterials consisting of cells, scaffolds and bioactive molecules, and it is used as a substitute for damaged skin in chronic wound therapy. Scaffolds that are compatible both biological and physicochemical aspects are still the focus of research from the development of artificial skin recently. Polycaprolactone (PCL) has potential as a material for scaffold due to its biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and flexibility. However, PCL has low bioactivity, so it is necessary to add a natural ingredient. In this study, Umbilical Cord Blood Serum (UCBS) and Platelet Rich-Plasma (PRP) which are rich in bioactive molecules and extracellular matrix incorporated to the PCL scaffolds as coatings. The PCL scaffolds were fabricated with 20% PCL by freeze-drying method. Then, the scaffolds were coated with UCBS or PRP by dip-coating and gelation by temperature for UCBS and CaCl2 for PRP to polymerize extracellular matrix in UCBS and fibrin matrix in PRP. In this study, both coatings increased the biocompatibility of the PCL scaffold, including cell attachment (78.90±3.65%-89.45±3.65%) and cell viability (84.99%-99.23±3.72%). The coated scaffolds also improved physicochemical property including compressive strength (2.78±0.005-3.58±0.64 Mpa), rough surface, swelling ratio (33.48±3.32%-50.15±1.39%), and a porosity of 1.24±0.27%-1.79±0.12%. Therefore, both UCBS and PRP can be used as coatings to increase the biocompatibility of PCL scaffolds as artificial skins."

"Hemostat gelatin sponge merupakan salah satu material hemostatik yang umum digunakan untuk menghentikan pendarahan dalam kejadian luka akut. Penambahan monetite dengan keberadaan ion kalsium diharapkan dapat mempercepat berlangsungnya proses hemostasis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan karakteristik fisiko-kimia dan biokompatibilitas dari gelatin sponge dengan penambahan partikel monetite dengan variasi 0 wt%, 3 wt%, 5 wt%, 7 wt%, dan 10 wt% dari total massa gelatin/monetite yang disintesis. Produk hemostat yang disintesis menggunakan gelatin dan monetite dipreparasi dengan metode freeze-drying dan dilanjutkan dengan proses termal cross-linking. Sampel dilakukan karakterisasi SEM, FTIR, perilaku swelling, dan pelepasan ion kalsium. Gelatin sponge/monetite menunjukkan morfologi mikro permukaan dengan pori-pori terbuka dan saling terinterkoneksi satu sama lain. Dengan adanya penambahan monetite, rata-rata diameter pori yang terbentuk menurun hingga konsentrasi monetite 5% dan mengalami kenaikan pada konsentrasi monetite 7% dan 10%. Selain itu, keberadaan unsur kalsium dan fosfor pada gelatin sponge dengan penambahan monetite dapat dilihat pada spektrum EDS pada gambar SEM. Interaksi di antara gelatin dan monetite teramati pada uji FTIR yang menunjukkan adanya gugus fungsi regangan P-O pada sekitar wavenumber 600 cm-1. Sifat hidrofilik monetite mampu membatasi rasio swelling pada gelatin sponge/monetite. Pelepasan ion kalsium pada sampel gelatin sponge/monetite menunjukkan hasil yang selaras dengan rata-rata diameter pori dengan kecenderungan bahwa semakin tinggi konsentrasi monetite maka pelepasan ion kalsium semakin tinggi. Hasil dari penelitian secara umum menunjukkan dengan adanya penambahan monetite, hemostat gelatin sponge memiliki sifat fisiko-kimia dan biokompatibilitas yang lebih baik dan terkontrol.

Hemostat gelatin sponge is one of the commonly used hemostatic material to stop bleeding in the event of an acute wound. The addition of monetite in the presence of calcium ions is expected to accelerate the process of hemostasis. This study aims to improve the physicochemical characteristics and biocompatibility of gelatin sponge by adding monetite particles with variations of 0%wt, 3%wt, 5%wt, 7%wt, and 10%wt of the total mass of synthesized gelatin/monetite. Hemostat product synthesized using gelatin and monetite were prepared using the freeze-drying method and followed by a thermal cross-linking process. Samples were characterized by SEM, FTIR, swelling behavior, and calcium ion release. Gelatin sponge/monetite shows surface micromorphology with open pores and is interconnected with each other. With the addition of monetite, the average pore diameter formed decreased to 5% monetite concentration and increased at 7% and 10% monetite concentrations. In addition, the presence of calcium and phosphorus elements in the gelatin sponge with the addition of monetite can be seen in the EDS spectrum in the SEM image. The interaction between gelatin and monetite was observed in the FTIR test which indicated the presence of a P-O strain functional group at about wave number 600 cm-1. The hydrophilic properties of monetite can limit the swelling ratio of the gelatin sponge/monetite. The release of calcium ions in the gelatin sponge/monetite samples showed results consistent with the average pore diameter with the tendency that the higher the concentration of monetite, the higher the retention of calcium ions. The results of the study in general showed that with the addition of monetite, gelatin sponge hemostat had better physicochemical and biocompatibility properties and relief."

"Kerusakan pada tulang atau cacat tulang merupakan masalah kesehatan masyarakat di seluruh dunia yang perlu diperhatikan, karena dapat mengganggu aktivitas kehidupan. Metode yang cukup menjanjikan untuk penyembuhan cacat tulang adalah fabrikasi perancah dari bahan biomaterial. Perancah adalah biomaterial padat berbentuk 3 dimensi dengan struktur berpori yang dapat mendukung interaksi sel biomaterial, proliferasi, diferensiasi sel, dan dapat terurai dengan tingkat toksisitas minimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memfabrikasi perancah dengan komposit berupa hidroksiapatit (HAp)/kolagen/kitosan, hidroksiapatit/kolagen/kitosan/functionalized-multi walled carbon nanotube (f-MWCNT) dengan hidroksiapatit serta kolagen hasil ekstraksi tulang ikan tuna, hidroksiapatit/kolagen/kitosan/titanium dioksida (TiO2), dan hidroksiapatit/kolagen/kitosan/functionalized-multi walled carbon nanotube (f-MWCNT). Fabrikasi dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode freeze drying. Perancah hasil fabrikasi dikarakterisasi sifat biologisnya melalui uji biokompatibilitas dengan MTS assay dan uji diferensiasi sel dengan pewarnaan alizarin merah. Uji viabilitas menunjukkan sel umumnya bermigrasi dan menempel dekat perancah. Penambahan bahan mekanik f-MWCNT dan titanium dioksida pada perancah dapat mengurangi viabilitas sel. Namun, pada kadar yang tepat, perancah dengan kandungan f-MWCNT atau titanium dioksida dapat memiliki sifat viabilitas yang baik. Uji diferensiasi menunjukkan penambahan bahan mekanik f-MWCNT dan titanium dioksida dapat menginduksi diferensiasi osteogenik namun hasilnya masih tidak optimal.

Damage to bones or bone defects is a public health problem around the world that needs attention because it can interfere many life activities. A promising method for healing bone defects is the fabrication of scaffolds from biomaterials. Scaffolds are solid biomaterials in 3-dimensional sHApe with a porous structure that can support biomaterial cell interactions, proliferation, cell differentiation, and can be decomposed with minimal toxicity. This study aims to fabricate scaffolds with composites in the form of hydroxyapatite/collagen/chitosan, hydroxyapatite/collagen/chitosan/functionalized MWCNT (f-MWCNT) where the hydroxyapatite and collgen used were obtained from tuna fish bone extraction, hydroxyapatite/collagen/chitosan/titanium dioxide, and hydroxyapatite/collagen/chitosan/functionalized MWCNT (f-MWCNT). Fabrication was carried out using freeze drying method. The fabricated scaffolds were characterized for their biological properties through biocompatibility test with MTS assay and cell differentiation test with alizarin red staining. Viability tests showed cells generally migrated and adhered near the scaffold. The addition of mechanical material f-MWCNT and titanium dioxide to the scaffold can reduce cell viability. However, at the right levels, scaffolds containing f-MWCNT or titanium dioxide can have good viability. The differentiation test showed that the addition of mechanical material f-MWCNT and titanium dioxide could induce osteogenic differentiation but the results were still not optimal."
