Abstract: The present invention provides a surgical implant material for assisted repair of muscle mechanics and a method of preparing the same. The surgical implant material for assisted repair of muscle mechanics comprises a collagen compound within a net-like bacterial cellulose base material. A bacterial cellulose base material is placed into solution of collagen, treated via vortex shaking, dried at room temperature; and then immersed in an aqueous solution of an aldehyde compound under vacuum to react for 10 to 30 minutes, thereby producing the surgical implant material for assisted repair of muscle mechanics. The surgical implant material of the present invention can effectively improve the biocompability, and maintain the flexibility, smoothness and fitness of the base material to reduce the damage to surrounding tissues, thereby reducing the bleeding and inflammatory response.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a cytokine-based bioactivatable drug construct (“VitoKine”) platform that aims to reduce systemic mechanism-based toxicities and lead to broader therapeutic utility for proteins and cytokines such as IL-15 and IL-2 for the treatment of cancer, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, viral infection, transplantation and various other disorders. The novel VitoKine constructs of the present invention comprise: 1) a tissue or disease site targeting moiety D1 domain (“D1”), 2) a bioactivatable moiety D2 domain (“D2”), and a concealing moiety D3 domain (“D3”). Importantly, because the “active moiety” of the VitoKine construct will remain inert until activated locally by proteases that are upregulated in diseased tissues, this will limit binding of the active moiety to the receptors or to the targets in the peripheral or on the cell-surface of non-diseased cells and tissue to prevent over-activation of the pathway and reduce undesirable “on-target” “off tissue” toxicities.
