The cartilage tissue is neither supplied with blood nor innervated, so it cannot heal by itself. Thus, its reconstruction is highly challenging and requires external support. Cartilage diseases are becoming more common due to the aging population and obesity. Among young people, it is usually a post-traumatic complication. Slight cartilage damage leads to the spontaneous formation of fibrous tissue, not resistant to abrasion and stress, resulting in cartilage degradation and the progression of the disease. For these reasons, cartilage regeneration requires further research, including use of new type of biomaterials for scaffolds. This paper shows cartilage characteristics within its most frequent problems and treatment strategies, including a promising method that combines scaffolds and human cells. Structure and material requirements, manufacturing methods, and commercially available scaffolds were described. Also, the comparison of poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and polyethersulfone (PES) 3D membranes obtained by a phase inversion method using nonwovens as a pore-forming additives were reported. The scaffolds’ structure and the growth ability of human chondrocytes were compared. Scaffolds’ structure, cells morphology, and protein presence in the membranes were examined with a scanning electron microscope. The metabolic activity of cells was tested with the MTT assay. The structure of the scaffolds and the growth capacity of human chondrocytes were compared. Obtained results showed higher cell activity and protein content for PES scaffolds than for PLLA. The PES membrane had better mechanical properties (e.g. ripping), greater chondrocytes proliferation, and thus a better secretion of proteins which build up the cartilage structure.

Spheres of prodrug of polylactide (PLA) or polycaprolactone (PCL) or a copolymer thereof with chlorphenesin (CF) were obtained. Furthermore spheres with an active substance additionally dispersed in the prodrug matrix – hybrid spheres – were prepared. The antimicrobial properties of the prodrug forms obtained were investigated towards bacteria, yeast, and filamentous fungi to verify whether the CF activity of the new formulations maintains. This research shows a wide spectrum of antimicrobiological application, especially when using CF as a preservative.

Otrzymano sfery z proleku chlorofenezyny (CF) i polilaktydu (PLA), polikaprolaktonu (PCL) lub ich kopolimeru, a także sfery hybrydowe z substancją aktywną dodatkowo rozproszoną w matrycy proleku. W celu sprawdzenia, czy aktywność CF została zachowana, zbadano właściwości antymikrobiologiczne wszystkich otrzymanych form proleku wobec bakterii, drożdży i grzybów strzępkowych. Uzyskane wyniki wskazują na możliwe szerokie spektrum aplikacji tych form leku, szczególnie w charakterze konserwantu.
