    Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been widely applied in cell therapy due to their multipotent differentiation capabilities, homing properties, and immunoregulatory functions. MSC membranes and their derivatives retain the membrane composition and biological characteristics of the source cells, and have gradually become a new focus of drug delivery research. MSC membranes can not only target diseased tissues but also modulate host immune responses through immunoregulatory molecules, thereby assisting in therapy. They demonstrate excellent targeting ability and biocompatibility in the treatment of diseases such as inflammation and tumors. However, the specific composition and corresponding functions of MSC membranes still require further investigation, and challenges remain in large-scale production and preservation for clinical applications. In this paper, the biological characteristics of MSC membranes and their applications in drug delivery and disease treatment were summarized, and the potential of engineering modifications to enhance targeting efficiency and therapeutic potential was discussed, providing a reference for the development of novel cell membrane therapies and carrier systems.

     Unveiling hypoxia-related biomarkers for diabetic foot ulcers through integrated bioinformatics analysis and machine learning
    GUO Genyu, ZHANG Chuqiao, XU Yinmei, et al
    Journal of Tissue Engineering and Reconstructive Surgery    2025, 21 (3): 238-.  
    Abstract261)      PDF(pc) (6473KB)(469)       Save
      Objective  Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a severe complication in diabetic patients, where the hypoxic microenvironment plays a critical role in its pathogenesis and delayed healing, though the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. To systematically analyze the regulatory network of hypoxia-related genes in DFU using bioinformatics approaches, identify key biomarkers, and provide insights for targeted therapies. Methods Integrated datasets from GEO and MSigDB hypoxia-related gene sets were utilized. Differential expression analysis( limma, DESeq2), weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA), and GO/KEGG functional enrichment were performed. Hub genes were screened using three machine learning algorithms( Lasso, SVM-RFE, and random forest), and their diagnostic efficacy was validated. Results  A total of 152 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, including 14 hypoxia-related DEGs (HRDEGs). Enrichment analysis revealed HRDEGs involvement in glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, and immune cell regulation. Machine learning further pinpointed the hub gene BGN. BGN exhibited significantly lower expression in DFU groups, with area under the ROC curve (AUC) values of 0.833 (training set) and 0.931 (validation set), indicating high diagnostic accuracy. Single-gene GSEA demonstrated that BGN participates in DFU pathology by regulating tissue repair, inflammatory responses, and extracellular matrix interactions. Conclusion BGN is a key biomarker in the hypoxic microenvironment of DFU and may serve as a potential molecular target for early diagnosis and targeted therapy. This study provides new directions for understanding DFU mechanisms and clinical interventions.

    Biphasic calcium phosphates (BCPs) are bioactive ceramics composed of a mixture of hydroxyapatite and β-tricalcium phosphate in varying proportions, with a chemical composition very similar to the inorganic composition of bone tissue. It has become the most promising bone replacement material due to its excellent biocompatibility, osteoinductivity,osteoconductivity and adjustable degradation rate. This is attributed to the physicochemical properties, pore structure,crystallinity and morphological characteristics of BCP bioceramics. Numerous studies have shown that the bone-forming capacity of BCP bioceramics can be enhanced by optimising their phase composition, ionic environment and surface roughness. However, their potential bone-forming molecular mechanism of action remains a mystery. In this paper, the role of BCP bioceramics in relation to the surrounding biological environment of bone tissues was reviewed, the differentiation of  mesenchymal stem cells and immune response-induced bone and vasculogenesis in BCP bioceramics during the process of bone defect repair were introduced, as well as describing modified BCP bioceramics and discussing the future prospects in this field.

    XU Jiacheng, CEN Qingqing, ZHU Cuicui, et al
    Journal of Tissue Engineering and Reconstructive Surgery    2025, 21 (2): 172-.  
    Abstract205)      PDF(pc) (1529KB)(305)       Save
    Objective  To investigate the effects and mechanism of tolvaptan on melanogenesis. Methods  This study used B16F10 cells as a model. The effects of tolvaptan on cell viability and melanin content were evaluated through cell viability assays and melanin content quantification. The effect of tolvaptan on tyrosinase (TYR) activity was observed by tyrosinase activity detection. Western blot analysis was employed to investigate the impact of tolvaptan on the expression levels of TYR family proteins and other key proteins involved in melanogenesis. Results Cell viability assays and melanin content quantification demonstrated that tolvaptan significantly reduced intracellular melanin levels without compromising cellular viability. Tyrosinase activity assays revealed no inhibitory effect of tolvaptan on TYR catalytic function. Western blot analysis indicated that tolvaptan downregulated the protein expression of TYR family members, microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), cAMP-responsive element-binding protein (CREB), and melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R). Conclusion Tolvaptan can inhibit melanogenesis, and the molecular mechanism may be achieved through the MC1R/cAMP signaling pathway.

    JIN Jiamin, LAI Bohan, GU Jieyu, et al
    Journal of Tissue Engineering and Reconstructive Surgery    2025, 21 (2): 162-.  
    Abstract213)      PDF(pc) (6029KB)(224)       Save
    Objective To explore the cellular turnover and biological mechanisms underlying the spontaneous regression of giant congenital melanocytic nevus( GCMN). Methods 10× single-cell RNA sequencing was performed on normal skin, depigmented nevus, and non-regressed nevus from patients with spontaneous regressed GCMN. Raw data were first used to quantify gene expression, followed by dimensionality reduction, clustering, cell population identification, and visualization. Cell populations were annotated based on differentially expressed genes (DEGs), and pathway enrichment and visualization of DEGs were carried out. Finally, histological staining was performed for validation. Results  In GCMN, melanocytes constituted the largest proportion. During the regression process, the number of melanocytes decreased, while keratinocytes and fibroblasts increased. Immune cells exhibited a coexistence of both immune activation and suppression. In regressed tissues, melanocytes also expressed keratinocyte marker genes, while fibroblasts were enriched in pathways related to proliferation and extracellular matrix. Immunofluorescence staining revealed cells co-expressing SOX10 and Keratin, and pseudotime analysis indicated a transition of melanocytes into keratinocytes. Conclusion The regression of GCMN is a longterm chronic inflammatory process, during which melanocytes undergo transformation and detach from the epidermal layer. Fibroblasts contribute to tissue repair and reconstruction.

    WU Weimin, XIA Ming, WEN Lixia
    Journal of Tissue Engineering and Reconstructive Surgery    2025, 21 (2): 157-.  
    Abstract278)      PDF(pc) (1037KB)(218)       Save
    Studies have shown that estrogen plays a role in the four healing stages of hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. It can regulate immune cells, fibroblasts, keratinocytes and other cells involved in healing through a variety of signaling pathways, reduce inflammatory response, promote cell proliferation and migration, regulate collagen synthesis and degradation, and accelerate wound healing. Topical application of estrogen or similar compounds has shown the potential to promote wound healing in animal experiments, but more research is needed to verify its efficacy and safety in clinical practice. The regulatory mechanism of estrogen on wound healing is complex, which needs further research.

    Abstract174)      PDF(pc) (7846KB)(185)       Save
    Objective To observe the course and branches of the medial and lateral sural arteries using digital subtraction angiography( DSA) and to guide the application of perforator flaps from these arteries in repairing wounds in the middle and upper segments of the lower leg. Methods A total of 10 patients with deep defects in the middle and upper segment of lower leg who received medial or lateral sural artery perforator flap transplantation were included in this study from September 2021 to September 2023. Preoperative DSA was performed to assess the course and branching patterns of the medial and lateral sural arteries. Additionally, handheld Doppler ultrasonography was utilized to precisely locate the perforators. The flaps were designed based on the location and size of the wound. The donor sites were either directly sutured or repaired by skin grafting. Postoperative follow-up was conducted to evaluate the recovery of limb function. Results DSA revealed that the medial and lateral sural arteries descended from the popliteal artery, entering the medial and lateral heads of the gastrocnemius muscle, respectively. Based on the number of descending branches, the arteries were classified into four types: Type I (one main vessel trunk with no branches, 7 cases), type IIA( the main vessel formed 2 branches above the knee joint, 3 cases), type IIB( the main vessel formed 2 branches below the knee joint, 4 cases), and type Ⅲ( the main vessel formed ≥3 branches, 6 cases). The diameters of the medial and lateral sural arteries at their origin were (1.59±0.6) mm and (1.47±0.58) mm, respectively. Handheld Doppler ultrasonography detected 1 to 4 perforators, with a mean of 2. All medial and lateral sural  artery perforator flaps survived successfully. Follow-up showed that the color, texture, and appearance of the flap was satisfactory and that the function of the affected limbs were restored. Conclusion DSA can provide clear visualization of the course and branching patterns of the medial and lateral sural arteries. Combined with handheld Doppler ultrasonography detection for perforators, it can effectively guide the preoperative design and intraoperative dissection of perforator flaps supplied by these arteries. Medical and lateral sural perforator flaps can achieve favorable outcomes in wound repair of the middle and upper segments of the lower leg.

    Abstract423)      PDF(pc) (2809KB)(173)       Save
    The anatomical layers of the midface are primarily divided into five layers: skin, subcutaneous tissue, SMAS layer, muscles, and bone. With aging, the midfacial skeleton gradually undergoes resorption; Muscle strength weakens and remains in a persistent hypertonic state; Deep fat atrophies, and superficial fat descends; Facial ligaments degenerate and undergo fibrosis; The skin loses moisture, elasticity decreases, wrinkles form, pigmentation increases, and dryness ensues. These complex anatomical layers interact, collectively leading to the outward appearance of midfacial aging. In response to midfacial aging and soft tissue descent, various facelift techniques have been continuously developed. Skin and subcutaneous tissue lifts are suitable for mild skin laxity; SMAS-layer lifting plays a central role in facial lifting surgery, forming a variety of classic SMAS lift techniques and minimally invasive methods; Deep plane lifting, which involves releasing the deep tissues beneath the SMAS layer, provides lasting rejuvenation effects, but with increased surgical complexity and risk.

    Abstract205)      PDF(pc) (4989KB)(172)       Save
    Objective To observe the effect of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) combined with ultrasound on the improvement of scar indentation and adhesion. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 46 patients with scar depression and adhesion who were treated at our department from January 2023 to December 2023. All patients had dynamic depression of the scar after wound healing and underwent conservative scar rehabilitation treatment at our department. According to whether ESWT was received or not, the patients were divided into control group and experimental group. The control group was treated with traditional ultrasound to improve scar adhesion, and the experimental group was treated with ESWT on the basis of ultrasound therapy. The patients’ scar skin images and thickness data were collected using a 14 MHz high-frequency ultrasound before and after treatment for 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, respectively. The Shore hardness meter was used to evaluate the hardness of the scars in each group, and the patients’ satisfaction with the treatment was recorded, along with any adverse events. Results After 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks of treatment, the Bultrasound showed that the anterior-posterior diameter (scar thickness) of the control group and the experimental group decreased, and the change in the experimental group was more obvious (P<0.05). After 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks of treatment, the hardness measured by the hardness meter in both groups showed a decrease in hardness, and the hardness of the scar in the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group at each time point (P<0.05). After 2 months of treatment, the satisfaction score of experimental group was significantly higher than that of control group( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of hematoma and pain between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion  ESWT treatment can effectively reduce scar thickness and improve scar hardness on the basis of ultrasound treatment, and significantly improve the treatment satisfaction of patients and their families, which is worthy of promotion in the clinical treatment of scar depression and adhesion.

    LI Jing, GUO Ke
    Journal of Tissue Engineering and Reconstructive Surgery    2025, 21 (2): 188-.  
    Abstract210)      PDF(pc) (1026KB)(171)       Save
    The core of bio-3D printing technology lies in the development and optimization of bio-ink. For a long time, researchers have been looking for bio-inks that can balance printability and cell function. However, traditional bio-inks often have limitations in meeting this balance, limiting the complexity and scale of printable structures. In recent years, the emergence of sacrifice inks has brought a major breakthrough in this field, allowing bio-inks that were originally not very suitable for printing to accurately construct larger and more complex structures. This ink is unique in that it is used to support and position the bio-ink, but is removed after printing is complete, not as part of the final printed structure, and the mild nature of the state transition and removal conditions allows for minimal damage to cell viability and print structure when the ink is“ sacrificed”. By the application of sacrifice inks, bioprinting technology can not only produce more realistic and complex tissue structures, but also is expected to provide broader application prospects for clinical treatment and regenerative medicine in the future.
