Abstract

Tissue damage and the impairment of regenerative processes by excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) contributes to the pathogenesis of various diseases in soft tissues including diabetes, atherosclerosis, Parkinson's disease and myocardial ischemic/reperfusion injury. In this study, a thermally responsive injectable hydrogel poly(NIPAAm-co-VP-co-MAPLA-co-MATEMPO) (pNVMT, NIPAAm: N-isopropylacrylamide, VP: vinylpyrrolidone, MAPLA: methacrylate-polylactide, MATEMPO: methacrylate-TEMPO, TEMPO: 4-amino-TEMPO or 4-Amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl) incorporating recyclable ROS scavenging nitroxide radicals on the polymer backbone was developed to locally control adverse tissue effects from free radical generation. In an in vitro oxidative environment, TEMPO Gel significantly preserved cell viability. In a rat myocardial infarction/reperfusion model, TEMPO Gel diffused through the infarcted myocardium, integrated with the tissue upon gelation, and remained for over one week as visualized by MRI. The TEMPO Gel reduced infarction/reperfusion injury and preserved left ventricle geometry. This thermally responsive hydrogel was demonstrated to have properties desirable for local application to soft tissue beds where oxidative damage by ROS is of concern in pathological mechanisms.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
