| Abstract | A new, injectable, drug-loaded composite graft was developed to enable infection free wound healing.The graft was fabricated using gentamicin and biomimetic microparticulate scaffolds in gelatin gel and characterized for biologically relevant properties like fluid uptake, evaporative water loss (EWL), water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), Young’s modulus and degradation. It was evaluated for drug release, cytocompatibility and antimicrobial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.Graft exhibited fluid uptake of 13.79%, EWL of 60–70% in 10 h, WVTR of 5480.31 g/m$^{2}$/d, and Young’s modulus as 2.1–10.8 kPa. It exhibited 99.36% degree of crosslinking and a dual degradation behavior wherein, the carrier gel, gelatin, degraded rapidly leaving the microparticulate scaffolds intact. Drug release studies showed a sustained release of gentamicin for 13 days sufficient to inhibit the infection at the wound site. Cytocompatibility assessment of the graft revealed that graft supported cell adhesion, proliferation and migration. The antibacterial efficacy of the graft was assessed using Kirby-Bauer method and time kill assay, wherein results indicated a quick, effective (≥5-log reduction in CFU/ml) and long lasting antimicrobial effect.These results as a whole indicate that the graft represents an effective alternative for infection-free healing of full thickness wounds.

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
