Abstract

Despite significant advances in surgery and postoperative care, there are still challenges in the treatment of wounds. In the current study, a freeze-dried chitosan (Cs)/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) sponges containing platelet-rich fibrin (PRF at 1, 1.5 and 2% w/v) for wound dressing application is fabricated and fully characterized. Addition of 1% w/v of PRF to Cs/PVP (CS/PVP/1PRF) sample significantly increased the tensile strength (from 0.147 ± 0.005 to 0.242 ± 0.001 MPa), elastic modulus (from 0.414 ± 0.014 to 0.611 ± 0.022 MPa) and strain at break (from 53.4 ± 0.9 to 61.83 ± 1.17%) compared to Cs sample, and was hence selected as the optimal sample. The antibacterial activity of Cs/PVP/1PRF sponge wound dressing against E. coli and S. aureus was confirmed to be effective. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays revealed that the release of both VEGF and PDGF-AB from PRF powder, as well as PDGF-AB from Cs/PVP/1PRF sample was time-independent, but the release of VEGF from Cs/PVP/1PRF sample increased significantly with time. According to MTT and CAM assays, the Cs/PVP/1PRF sample significantly increased proliferation and angiogenic potential, respectively. Furthermore, in vivo studies demonstrated a 97.16 ± 1.55% wound closure for Cs/PVP/1PRF group after 14 days. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.
