RESUMEN
Skin wound healing is a complex process that requires appropriate treatment and management. Using a single scaffold to dynamically manipulate angiogenesis, cell migration and proliferation, and tissue reconstruction during skin wound healing is a great challenge. We developed a hybrid scaffold platform that integrates the spatiotemporal delivery of bioactive cues with topographical cues to dynamically manipulate the wound-healing process. The scaffold comprised gelatin methacryloyl hydrogels and electrospun poly(ε-caprolactone)/gelatin nanofibers. The hydrogels had graded cross-linking densities and were loaded with two different functional bioactive peptides. The nanofibers comprised a radially aligned nanofiber array layer and a layer of random fibers. During the early stages of wound healing, the KLTWQELYQLKYKGI peptide, which mimics vascular endothelial growth factor, was released from the inner layer of the hydrogel to accelerate angiogenesis. During the later stages of wound healing, the IKVAVS peptide, which promotes cell migration, synergized with the radially aligned nanofiber membrane to promote cell migration, while the nanofiber membrane also supported further cell proliferation. In an in vivo rat skin wound-healing model, the hybrid scaffold significantly accelerated wound healing and collagen deposition, and the ratio of type I to type III collagen at the wound site resembled that of normal skin. The prepared scaffold dynamically regulated the skin tissue regeneration process in stages to achieve rapid wound repair with clinical application potential, providing a strategy for skin wound repair.

Wound management for acute and chronic wounds has become a serious clinical problem worldwide, placing considerable pressure on public health systems. Owing to the high-precision, adjustable pore structure, and repeatable manufacturing process, 3D-printed electrospun fibre (3DP-ESF) has attracted widespread attention for fabricating wound dressing. In addition, in comparison with 2D electrospun fibre membranes fabricated by traditional electrospinning, the 3D structures provide additional guidance on cell behaviour. In this perspective article, we first summarise the basic manufacturing principles and methods to fabricate 3DP-ESF. Then, we discuss the function of 3DP-ESF in manipulating the different stages of wound healing, including anti-bacteria, anti-inflammation, and promotion of cell migration and proliferation, as well as the construction of tissue-engineered scaffolds. In the end, we provide the current challenge faced by 3DP-ESF in the application of skin wound regeneration and its promising future directions.
RESUMEN
To comprehensively evaluate the human body's respiratory, circular metabolism and other functions, and to diagnose lung disease, an accurate and reliable pulmonary function test (PFT) is developed. The system is divided into two parts:hardware and software. It realizes the collection of respiratory, pulse oxygen, carbon dioxide, oxygen and other signals, and draws flow-volume curve (FV curve), volume-time curve (VT curve), respiratory waveform, pulse wave, carbon dioxide and oxygen waveform in real time on the upper computer of the PFT system, and conducts signal processing and parameter calculation for each signal. The experimental results prove that the system is safe and reliable, it can accurately measure the basic functions of human body, and provide reliable parameters, and has good application prospects.

In order to assess and diagnose lower urinary tract dysfunction in patients and help patients with lower urinary tract rehabilitation training, an accurate and reliable urodynamic monitoring and automatic voiding system was designed. The system realizes the signal acquisition circuit of bladder pressure, abdominal pressure and urine volume based on the pressure sensor of urinary catheter and the load sensor. Meanwhile, the dynamic waveforms of urinary flow rate, bladder pressure and abdominal pressure are drawn in real time on the software of urodynamic monitoring. Signal processing and analysis of each signal are carried out, and the system performance is verified by building a simulation experiment. The experimental results show that the system is stable, reliable, accurate and meets the expected design goals, which can provide support for subsequent engineering design and clinical applications.
