| Abstract | Skin flaps have the crucial issue that skin necrosis can occur due to tissue ischemia in the distal parts of flaps. To prevent tissue necrosis, skin flaps need to be supplied with sufficient blood perfusion through quick vascularization in the ischemic area. In this study, we fabricated poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) meshes that had shaped random or alignments using electrospinning and modified the surface of the PLGA mesh, using 3,4-dihydroxy- L-phenylalanine (L-DOPA), for drug delivery. We carried out X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and contact angle analysis to confirm the L-DOPA coating on the surface of PLGA meshes. Then, we loaded vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) on the PLGA meshes for quicker angiogenesis through synergistic effect of the two growth factors. We investigated whether dual growth factor-loaded PLGA meshes on skin flaps promoted angiogenesis during 7-day treatment. When implanted into ICR mice models for skin flaps, the PLGA random mesh led to a result value of significantly smaller than the PLGA aligned mesh in skin flap necrosis and the epidermal thickness with the PLGA random mesh was much thicker than other groups in the necrotic area. Furthermore, coadministration of the two growth factors with the PLGA random meshes resulted in significantly higher blood vessel density than PLGA aligned mesh by ingrowth of host vessels at the edge of the skin flap. These results indicated that dual growth factor-loaded PLGA meshes could contribute to reducing the necrosis by dual growth factor delivery and geometric cues. |

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.
