Abstract: The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of octyl-2-cyanoacrylate as well as sutures as a wound closure material. Whether octyl-2-cyanoacrylate can be used as an alternative to suture in the closure of facial wounds. Out of total of 19 wounds, 11 wounds were closed with sutures and tissue adhesive both, out of rest 8 wounds, 4 wounds were closed using sutures alone and in 4 wounds, closure was done with tissue adhesive alone. Therefore, a total of 15 facial wounds were divided into two groups: Group-I Cases in… Show more

Failed skin wound healing, through delayed wound healing or wound dehiscence, is a global public health issue that imposes significant burdens on individuals and society. Although the application of growth factor is an effective method to improve the pace and quality of wound healing, the clinically approved factors are limited. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) demonstrates promising results in wound healing by promoting collagen deposition and cell migration, but its application is limited by potentially inhibitory effects when administered continuously and locally. Through partially replacing and repeating the amino acid domains of PTH(1–34), we previously designed a novel PTH analog, PTH(3–34)(29–34) or MY-1, and found that it avoided the inhibitory effects of PTH while retaining its positive functions. To evaluate its role in wound healing, MY-1 was encapsulated in liposomes and incorporated into the methacryloyl gelatin (GelMA) hydrogel, through which an injectable nanocomposite hydrogel (GelMA–MY@Lipo, or GML) was developed. In vitro studies revealed that the GML had similar properties in terms of the appearance, microstructure, functional groups, swelling, and degradation capacities as the GelMA hydrogel. In vitro drug release testing showed a relatively more sustainable release of MY-1, which was still detectable in vivo 9 days post-application. When the GML was topically applied to the wound areas of rat models, wound closure as well as tensile strength were improved. Further studies showed that the effects of GML on wound repair and tensile strength were closely related to the promotion of fibroblast migration to the wound area through the controlled release of MY-1. Mechanically, MY-1 enhanced fibroblast migration by activating PI3K/AKT signaling and its downstream molecule, Rac1, by which it increased fibroblast aggregation in the early stage and resulting in denser collagen deposition at a later time. Overall, these findings demonstrated that the nanocomposite hydrogel system promoted skin wound healing and increased tensile strength, thus offering new potential in the treatment of wound healing.

Introduction: Wound closure methods have evolved, attributed to the armamentarium including the synthetic sutures, staples, surgical adhesive tapes and, most recently, the cyanoacrylate tissue adhesives. Cyanoacrylates have shown promising results in terms of aesthetic outcomes in other fields of surgery. The aim of this study is to compare the aesthetic value of Dermabond over Ethilon suture when used in case of facial surgical incisions. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy of Dermabond for wound closure in the head-and-neck region. Materials and Methods: This study involved 20 subjects undergoing maxillofacial surgery. In 10 subjects, skin closure was done with conventional suturing (Ethilon) and other 10 subjects with tissue glue (2-octyl cyanoacrylate). Observations regarding skin closure time and scar assessment were made, and their results were compared. Results: The mean time for closure in the Dermabond group was 217.2 ± 42.0 s and for Ethilon suture group was 383.3 ± 140.2 s. Dermabond was significantly better than Ethilon sutures at both 1 month and 3 months with P = 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively. For Dermabond, the average score improved from 8.2 ± 2.5 at 1 month to 6.1 ± 1.6 at the 3rd month. The improvement was statistically significant (P = 0.001) for Ethilon sutures; the average score improved from 12.0 ± 1.2 at 1 month to 10.2 ± 2.0 at 3rd month. The improvement was statistically significant (P = 0.038). Discussion: Adhesive glue appears to be superior to conventional suturing in clean elective surgeries. It is a safe and effective method of skin closure with less operative time and better cosmesis of the scar.
