Abstract: Chemotherapeutic agents have been used as an adjunct to mechanical debridement for peri-implantitis treatment. The present in vitro study evaluated and compared the effectiveness of hypochlorous acid (HOCl), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), and chlorhexidine (CHX) at eliminating Gram-negative (E. coli and P. gingivalis) and Gram-positive (E. faecalis and S. sanguinis) bacteria. The effect of irrigating volume and exposure time on the antimicrobial efficacy of HOCl was evaluated, and a durability analysis was completed. Live/dead staining, morphology observation, alamarBlue assay, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) detection were examined on grit-blasted and biofilm-contaminated titanium alloy discs after treatment with the three chemotherapeutic agents. The results indicated that HOCl exhibited better antibacterial efficacy with increasing irrigating volumes. HOCl achieved greater antibacterial efficacy as treatment time was increased. A decrease in antimicrobial effectiveness was observed when HOCl was unsealed and left in contact with the air. All the irrigants showed antibacterial activity and killed the majority of bacteria on the titanium alloy surfaces of biofilm-contaminated implants. Moreover, HOCl significantly lowered the LPS concentration of P. gingivalis when compared with NaOCl and CHX. Thus, a HOCl antiseptic may be effective for cleaning biofilm-contaminated implant surfaces.

Background: People who suffered type 2 diabetes have impaired healing of wounds due to the large number of circulating inflammatory cells resulting from high blood sugar levels. The wound healing process involves various complex processes including

the degradation of extracellular matrix, a process characterized by an increase in matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). Conventional management of diabetic wounds usually involves systemic blood sugar control and topical antimicrobial treatment, including hydrogen peroxide and povidone-iodine, which are known to be cytotoxic to the cells involved in the wound healing cascade. Finding a safe, non-toxic, and effecting wound cleansing still poses a challenge, and hypochlorous acid (HOCl) could act as a potential candidate.

Purpose: Unveiling an HOCl ion as an agent for diabetic wound management and MMP-9 as a marker for delayed diabetic wound

Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Flow Diagram is used to find and select related, eligible literatures for the review. The authors used several databases such as Pro Quest, Scopus, Springer link and

Science Direct. In addition, and to expand the data, the database on Google Scholar was also opened. Then, the compiled data are analyzed to form results and discussions to the research question.

Results: Five eligible articles passed the inclusion criteria and reviewed for data synthesis. From 5 pieces of literature, it was found that the use of HOCl ions can be a good choice of topical agent in the management of diabetic wounds and decrease the activity of

MMP-9, which act as a marker for delayed healing of diabetic wounds.

Conclusion: Topical agent, in this case HOCl ion, shows good results and can be used as an option in the management of diabetic wounds and MMP-9 can be used as a predictive marker in the management of diabetic wounds.

Biofilms pose a relevant factor for wound healing impairment in chronic wounds.With 78% of all chronic wounds being affected by biofilms, research in this area is of high priority, especially since data for evidence-based selection of appropriate antimicrobials and antiseptics is scarce.Therefore,the objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-biofilm efficacy of commercially available hypochlorous wound irrigation solutions compared to established antimicrobials.Using an innovative complex in-vitro human plasma biofilm model(hpBIOM),quantitative reduction of Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Staphylococcus aureus,and Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) biofilms by three hypochlorous irrigation solutions[two polyhexanide (PHMB)irrigation solution and 0.1%octenidine-dihydrochloride/phenoxyethanol(OCT/PE).Efficacy was compared to a non-challenged planktonic approach,as well as with increased substance volume over a prolonged exposure (up to 72 h).Qualitative visualization of biofilms was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Both reference agents(OCT/PE and PHMB)induced significant biofilm reductions within 72 h,whereby high volume OCT/PE even managed complete eradication of P. aeruginosa and MRSA biofilms after72 h.The tested hypochlorous wound irrigation solutions achieved no relevant penetration and eradication of biofilms despite increased volume and exposure. Only 0.2% NaClO managed a low reduction under prolonged exposure.The results demonstrate that low-dosed hypochlorous wound irrigation solutions are significantly less effective than PHMB-based irrigation solution and OCT/PE, thus unsuitable for biofilm eradication on their own. The used complex hpBIOM thereby mimics the highly challenging clinical wound microenvironment, providing a more profound base for future clinical translation.
