ABSTRACT
Gelatin microspheres were discussed as a scaffold material for bone tissue engineering, with the advantages of its porosity, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and biosafety highlighted. This review discusses how bone regeneration is aided by the three fundamental components of bone tissue engineering-seed cells, bioactive substances, and scaffold materials-and how gelatin microspheres can be employed for in vitro seed cell cultivation to ensure efficient expansion. This review also points out that gelatin microspheres are advantageous as drug delivery systems because of their multifunctional nature, which slows drug release and improves overall effectiveness. Although gelatin microspheres are useful for bone tissue creation, the scaffolds that take into account their porous structure and mechanical characteristics might be difficult to be created. This review then discusses typical techniques for creating gelatin microspheres, their recent application in bone tissue engineering, as well as possible future research directions.

ABSTRACT Glutaraldehyde (GTA) has been extensively used as a gelatin crosslinking agent, however, new natural ones have been suggested as more biocompatible. Polyphenols are possible candidates and the flavonols, such as rutin (RUT), also exhibit potential synergism with sunscreens and antioxidant agents used in cosmetics. In this work, gelatin microspheres (M0) were obtained and crosslinked with GTA 10 mM (MG) or RUT 10 mM (MR), dissolved in acetone:NaOH 0,01M (70:30 v/v). MG exhibited crosslinking extent of 54.4%. Gelatin, M0, MG and MR did not elicit any signs of skin damage, regarding the formation of erythema, the barrier function disruption and negative interference in the stratum corneum hydration. Oily dispersions containing M0, MG or MR, isolated or combined with benzophenone-3 or octyl methoxycinnamate, suggested that the microspheres, at a 5.0% w/w, had no additional chemical or physical photoprotective effect in vitro. Crosslinking with RUT had occurred, but in a lower degree than GTA. Microspheres had not improved sun protection parameters, although, non-treated gelatin interfered positively with the SPF for both UV filters. The in vivo studies demonstrated that these materials had very good skin compatibility.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of therapy of the trisacryl gelatin microspheres combinee the gelatin sponge particle on embolize the bronchial artery in acute massive hemoptic patients. Methods One huneree cases with massive hemoptysis were selectee as our subjects ane eivieee into control ane research group(n = 50 for each group). Patients in control group were given only gelatin sponge particle,ane in research group were given the trisacryl gelatin microspheres combinee the gelatin sponge particle to embolize the bronchial artery. All cases were followee up for more than 12 months. Ane the effect of therapy was recoreee. Results In research group,42 cases(84. 0% ,42 / 50)were got the bleeeing stop immeeiately after embolization,7 cases in 72 h(14. 0% ,7 / 50),ane the effective rate of hemostasis was 98. 0%(49 / 50). In the control group,41 case(82. 0% ,41 / 50)were got the stop bleeeing immeeiately,8 cases in 72 h(16. 0% , 8 / 50),ane the effective rate of hemostasis was 98. 0%(49 / 50). There was no statistic eifference between two groups(P > 0. 05). After more than one year follow-up,3 cases(6. 12% )were reoccurree in the therapy group ane 15 cases(30. 61% )was in the control group. The eifference was significant between two groups after surgery for one year( χ2 = 9. 801,P < 0. 01 ). There was no serious complication in patients of two groups. Conclusion The operation of BAE is effective therapy for the massive hemoptoe,ane it is provee to be a safe,effective ane lower rate of recurrence approach of the trisacryl gelatin microspheres combinee the gelatin sponge particle for eouble embolzation the bronchial artery.
ABSTRACT
Azathioprine loaded gelatin microspheres were formulated to control/target drug release in an arthritic joint by magnetic force or intra-articular injection. Glutaraldehyde cross linked microspheres were characterized for drug loading, entrapment efficiency, gas chromatography, magnetite content, particle size, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and in vitro release studies. The gelatin microspheres loaded with azathioprine showed 17% of drug loading with 82% of entrapment efficiency. Gelatin magnetic microspheres showed 13% of loading with 87% of entrapment efficiency. Gas chromatography confirms absence of residual glutaraldehyde in the microspheres. The magnetite content of the azathioprine loaded gelatin magnetic microsphere was 25.7% w/w. The average particle sizes of gelatin nonmagnetic and magnetic microspheres were 41 and 54 μm, respectively. SEM confirms the spherical nature of the microspheres. FT-IR revealed the absence of drug polymer interaction, and DSC suggested amorphous nature of entrapped drug in the microspheres. The formulated microspheres could release the drug over a period of 48 h.
