Preparation and characterization of a polyurethane-based sponge wound dressing with a superhydrophobic layer and an antimicrobial adherent hydrogel layer. Acta Biomater 2024; 181:235-248. [PMID: 38692469 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.04.042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2024] [Revised: 04/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024]
Abstract
Bacterial infection poses a significant impediment in wound healing, necessitating the development of dressings with intrinsic antimicrobial properties. In this study, a multilayered wound dressing (STPU@MTAI2/AM1) was reported, comprising a surface-superhydrophobic treated polyurethane (STPU) sponge scaffold coupled with an antimicrobial hydrogel. A superhydrophobic protective outer layer was established on the hydrophilic PU sponge through the application of fluorinated zinc oxide nanoparticles (F-ZnO NPs), thereby resistance to environmental contamination and bacterial invasion. The adhesive and antimicrobial inner layer was an attached hydrogel (MTAI2/AM1) synthesized through the copolymerization of N-[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]-N, N, N-trimethylammonium iodide and acrylamide, exhibits potent adherence to dermal surfaces and broad-spectrum antimicrobial actions against resilient bacterial strains and biofilm formation. STPU@MTAI2/AM1 maintained breathability and flexibility, ensuring comfort and conformity to the wound site. Biocompatibility of the multilayered dressing was demonstrated through hemocompatibility and cytocompatibility studies. The multilayered wound dressing has demonstrated the ability to promote wound healing when addressing MRSA-infected wounds. The hydrogel layer demonstrates no secondary damage when peeled off compared to commercial polyurethane sponge dressing. The STPU@MTAI2/AM1-treated wounds were nearly completely healed by day 14, with an average wound area of 12.2 ± 4.3 %, significantly lower than other groups. Furthermore, the expression of CD31 was significantly higher in the STPU@MTAI2/AM1 group compared to other groups, promoting angiogenesis in the wound and thereby contributing to wound healing. Therefore, the prepared multilayered wound dressing presents a promising therapeutic candidate for the management of infected wounds. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Healing of chronic wounds requires avoidance of biofouling and bacterial infection. However developing a wound dressing which is both anti-biofouling and antimicrobial is a challenge. A multilayered wound dressing with multifunction was developed. Its outer layer was designed to be superhydrophobic and thus anti-biofouling, and its inner layer was broad-spectrum antimicrobial and could inhibit biofilm formation. The multilayered wound dressing with adhesive property could easily be removed from the wound surface preventing the cause of secondary damage. The multilayered wound dressing has demonstrated good abilities to promote MRSA-infected wound healing and presents a viable treatment for MRSA-infected wound.

Abstract
Achieving hemostasis is a necessary intervention to rapidly and effectively control bleeding. Conventional hemostatic materials currently used in clinical practice may aggravate the damage at the bleeding site due to factors such as poor adhesion and poor adaptation. Compared to most traditional hemostatic materials, polymer-based hemostatic materials have better biocompatibility and offer several advantages. They provide a more effective method of stopping bleeding and avoiding additional damage to the body in case of excessive blood loss. Various hemostatic materials with greater functionality have been developed in recent years for different organs using diverse design strategies. This article reviews the latest advances in the development of polymeric hemostatic materials. We introduce the coagulation cascade reaction after bleeding and then discuss the hemostatic mechanisms and advantages and disadvantages of various polymer materials, including natural, synthetic, and composite polymer hemostatic materials. We further focus on the design strategies, properties, and characterization of hemostatic materials, along with their applications in different organs. Finally, challenges and prospects for the application of hemostatic polymeric materials are summarized and discussed. We believe that this review can provide a reference for related research on hemostatic materials, contributing to the further development of polymer hemostatic materials.

Abstract
Hydrogels have emerged as promising candidates for biomedical applications, especially in the field of antibacterial therapeutics, due to their unique structural properties, highly tunable physicochemical properties, and excellent biocompatibility. The integration of stimuli-responsive functions into antibacterial hydrogels holds the potential to enhance their antibacterial properties and therapeutic efficacy, dynamically responding to different external or internal stimuli, such as pH, temperature, enzymes, and light. Therefore, this review describes the applications of hydrogel dressings responsive to different stimuli in antibacterial therapy. The collaborative interaction between stimuli-responsive hydrogels and antibacterial materials is discussed. This synergistic approach, in contrast to conventional antibacterial materials, not only amplifies the antibacterial effect but also alleviates adverse side effects and diminishes the incidence of multiple infections and drug resistance. The review provides a comprehensive overview of the current challenges and outlines future research directions for stimuli-responsive antibacterial hydrogels. It underscores the imperative for ongoing interdisciplinary research aimed at unraveling the mechanisms of wound healing. This understanding is crucial for optimizing the design and implementation of stimuli-responsive antibacterial hydrogels. Ultimately, this review aims to offer scientific guidance for the development and practical clinical application of stimuli-responsive antibacterial hydrogel dressings.

Abstract
Skin regeneration attracts tremendous interest due to the important role of skin for human protection and beauty. Thus, methods allowing artificial skin to be carried out in a controllable fashion are potentially important for wound healing, which involves an intersection of materials, medicine, biology, and other disciplines. Herein, aiming at a new general methodology for fleshy materials, a new hydrogel-loaded hydrophobic-hydrophilic nanofiber fleshy artificial skin is designed and fabricated. The gradient hydrogel-loaded nanofiber artificial skin integrates both advantages of nanofiber and hydrogel, exhibiting fleshy feature (comparability to real skin in terms of appearance, texture, and function), excellent air permeability, compatibility, and good mechanical and antibacterial property. Interestingly, the efficient transport channels are formed throughout the hydrogel-loaded nanofiber structure, which is beneficial for water absorption and transfer. These advantages enable the establishment of a moist and favorable microenvironment; thus, greatly accelerating wound healing process. This work couples microfluidic electrospinning with reactive coating technique, which is in favor of material design and fabrication with controllable and uniform structures. The hydrogel-loaded nanofiber fleshy artificial skin shows comparability to real skin in terms of beauty, texture, and function, which would definitely provide new opportunities for the further optimization and upgrading of artificial skin.

Abstract
The phenylborate-ester-cross-linked hydrogel microneedle patch (MNP) was promising in the diabetic field for the glucose-responsive insulin-delivering property and simple fabrication process. However, the unfit design of the charging microneedle network limited the improvement of blood-glucose regulating performances. In this work, insulin-loaded phenylborate-ester-cross-linked MNPs, with the polyzwitterion property, were constructed based on the modified ε-polylysine and poly(vinyl alcohol). The relationship between the charging nature of the MNP network and insulin release was verified by regulating the content of postprotonated positively charged amino groups. The elaborately designed MNP possessed improved glucose-responsive insulin-delivering performance. The in vivo study revealed the satisfactory results on blood-glucose regulation by the optimized MNP under the mimic three-meal-per-day mode. Moreover, the insulin bioactivity in the MNP could be maintained for 2 weeks under 25 °C. In summary, this work developed an effective strategy to improve the glucose-responsive phenylborate-ester-cross-linked MNP and enhance its potential for clinical transformation.

Abstract
Uncontrollable haemorrhage from deep, noncompressible wounds remains a persistent and intractable challenge, accounting for a very high proportion of deaths in both war and disaster situations. Recently, injectable hydrogels have been increasingly studied as potential haemostatic materials, highlighting their enormous potential for the management of noncompressible haemorrhages. In this review, we summarize haemostatic mechanisms, commonly used clinical haemostatic methods, and the research progress on injectable haemostatic hydrogels. We emphasize the current status of injectable hydrogels as haemostatic materials, including their physical and chemical properties, design strategy, haemostatic mechanisms, and application in various types of wounds. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of injectable hydrogels as haemostatic materials, as well as the opportunities and challenges involved. Finally, we propose cutting-edge research avenues to address these challenges and opportunities, including the combination of injectable hydrogels with advanced materials and innovative strategies to increase their biocompatibility and tune their degradation profile. Surface modifications for promoting cell adhesion and proliferation, as well as the delivery of growth factors or other biologics for optimal wound healing, are also suggested. We believe that this paper will inform researchers about the current status of the use of injectable haemostatic hydrogels for noncompressible haemorrhage and spark new ideas for those striving to propel this field forward.

Abstract
The unique network characteristics and stimuli responsiveness of supramolecular hydrogels have rendered them highly advantageous in the field of wound dressings, showcasing unprecedented potential. However, there are few reports on a comprehensive review of supramolecular hydrogel dressings for wound repair and hemostasis. This review first introduces the major cross-linking methods for supramolecular hydrogels, which includes hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic interactions, host-guest interactions, metal ligand coordination and some other interactions. Then, we review the advanced materials reported in recent years and then summarize the basic principles of each cross-linking method. Next, we classify the network structures of supramolecular hydrogels before outlining their forming process and propose their potential future directions. Furthermore, we also discuss the raw materials, structural design principles, and material characteristics used to achieve the advanced functions of supramolecular hydrogels, such as antibacterial function, tissue adhesion, substance delivery, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant functions, cell behavior regulation, angiogenesis promotion, hemostasis and other innovative functions in recent years. Finally, the existing problems as well as future development directions of the cross-linking strategy, network design, and functions in wound repair and hemostasis of supramolecular hydrogels are discussed. This review is proposed to stimulate further exploration of supramolecular hydrogels on wound repair and hemostasis by researchers in the future.

Abstract
The development of injectable self-healing adhesive hydrogel dressings with excellent bactericidal activity and wound healing ability is urgently in demand for combating biofilm infections. Herein, a multifunctional hydrogel (QP/QT-MB) with near-infrared (NIR) light-activated mild photothermal/gaseous antimicrobial activity was developed based on the dynamic reversible borate bonds and hydrogen bonds crosslinking between quaternization chitosan (QCS) derivatives alternatively containing phenylboronic acid and catechol-like moieties in conjunction with the in situ encapsulation of BNN6-loaded mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA@BNN6 NPs). Given the dynamic reversible cross-linking feature, the versatile hybrid hydrogel exhibited injectability, flexibility, and rapid self-healing ability. The numerous phenylboronic acid and catechol-like moieties on the QCS backbone confer the hydrogel with specific bacterial affinity, desirable tissue adhesion, and antioxidant stress ability that enhance bactericidal activity and facilitate the regeneration of infection wounds. Under NIR irradiation, the QP/QT-MB hydrogels exhibited a desirable mild photothermal effect and NIR-activity controllable NO delivery, combined with the endogenous contact antimicrobial activity of hydrogel, contributing jointly to induce dispersal of biofilms and disruption of the bacterial plasma membranes, ultimately leading to bacteria inactivation and biofilm elimination. In vivo experiments demonstrated that the fabricated QP/QT-MB hydrogel platform was capable of inducing efficient eradication of the S. aureus biofilm in a severely infected wound model and accelerating infected wound repair by promoting collagen deposition, angiogenesis, and suppressing inflammatory responses. Additionally, the QP/QT-MB hydrogel demonstrated excellent biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo. Collectively, the hydrogel (QP/QT-MB) reveals great potential application prospects as a promising alternative in the field of biofilm-associated infection treatment.

Abstract
Synthetic polymers are indispensable in biomedical applications because they can be fabricated with consistent and reproducible properties, facile scalability, and customizable functionality to perform diverse tasks. However, currently available synthetic polymers have limitations, most notably when timely biodegradation is required. Despite there being, in principle, an entire periodic table to choose from, with the obvious exception of silicones, nearly all known synthetic polymers are combinations of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen in the main chain. Expanding this to main-group heteroatoms can open the way to novel material properties. Herein the authors report on research to incorporate the chemically versatile and abundant silicon and phosphorus into polymers to induce cleavability into the polymer main chain. Less stable polymers, which degrade in a timely manner in mild biological environments, have considerable potential in biomedical applications. Herein the basic chemistry behind these materials is described and some recent studies into their medical applications are highlighted.

Abstract
Macrophages play a crucial role in the complete processes of tissue repair and regeneration, and the activation of M2 polarization is an effective approach to provide a pro-regenerative immune microenvironment. Natural extracellular matrix (ECM) has the capability to modulate macrophage activities via its molecular, physical, and mechanical properties. Inspired by this, an ECM-mimetic hydrogel strategy to modulate macrophages via its dynamic structural characteristics and bioactive cell adhesion sites is proposed. The LZM-SC/SS hydrogel is in situ formed through the amidation reaction between lysozyme (LZM), 4-arm-PEG-SC, and 4-arm-PEG-SS, where LZM provides DGR tripeptide for cell adhesion, 4-arm-PEG-SS provides succinyl ester for dynamic hydrolysis, and 4-arm-PEG-SC balances the stability and dynamics of the network. In vitro and subcutaneous tests indicate the dynamic structural evolution and cell adhesion capacity promotes macrophage movement and M2 polarization synergistically. Comprehensive bioinformatic analysis further confirms the immunomodulatory ability, and reveals a significant correlation between M2 polarization and cell adhesion. A full-thickness wound model is employed to validate the induced M2 polarization, vessel development, and accelerated healing by LZM-SC/SS. This study represents a pioneering exploration of macrophage modulation by biomaterials' structures and components rather than drug or cytokines and provides new strategies to promote tissue repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Hydrogels with tailor-made swelling-shrinkable properties have aroused considerable interest in numerous biomedical domains. For example, as swelling is a key issue for blood and wound extrudates absorption, the transference of nutrients and metabolites, as well as drug diffusion and release, hydrogels with high swelling capacity have been widely applicated in full-thickness skin wound healing and tissue regeneration, and drug delivery. Nevertheless, in the fields of tissue adhesives and internal soft-tissue wound healing, and bioelectronics, non-swelling hydrogels play very important functions owing to their stable macroscopic dimension and physical performance in physiological environment. Moreover, the negative swelling behavior (i.e., shrinkage) of hydrogels can be exploited to drive noninvasive wound closure, and achieve resolution enhancement of hydrogel scaffolds. In addition, it can help push out the entrapped drugs, thus promote drug release. However, there still has not been a general review of the constructions and biomedical applications of hydrogels from the viewpoint of swelling-shrinkable properties. Therefore, this review summarizes the tactics employed so far in tailoring the swelling-shrinkable properties of hydrogels and their biomedical applications. And a relatively comprehensive understanding of the current progress and future challenge of the hydrogels with different swelling-shrinkable features is provided for potential clinical translations.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogels with notable mechanical properties and self-healing ability are promising carriers for use as a drug delivery system. Here, adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH) and calcium ions (Ca2+) were introduced into quaternary ammonium carboxymethyl chitosan and aldehyde-modified hyaluronic acid hydrogels (QCS + OHA). The hydrogels were synthesized through the interaction of the Schiff bases (imine bonds, acylhydrazone bonds) and coordination bonds via a facile one-step approach. The gelation time (∼54 s) ensured excellent injectability. The QCS + OHA + ADH + Ca2+ hydrogel had notable mechanical properties (compressive stress up to 896.30 KPa), good self-healing ability (up to 94 %), good pH responsiveness, and excellent antibacterial properties. In addition, the QCS + OHA + ADH + Ca2+ hydrogel had a high drug loading capacity (121.3 mg/g) and sustained drug release behaviour (≥120 h). The results of cytotoxicity tests showed a high cell proliferation rate (up to 98 %) and good cytocompatibility. In summary, this work presents an injectable and self-healing pH-responsive hydrogel that can be used as a carrier for drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogel adhesives have gained widespread attention due to their ease of use, fast application time, and suitability for minimally invasive procedures. Several biomedical applications depend on tough adhesion between hydrogel adhesives and tissues, including wound closure and healing, hemostasis, tissue regeneration, drug delivery, and wearable electronic devices. Compared with bulk hydrogel adhesives formed ex situ, injectable hydrogel adhesives are more difficult to achieve strong adhesion strength due to a further balance of cohesion and adhesion while maintaining their flowability. In this review, the critical principles in designing tough adhesion of injectable hydrogel adhesives are summarized, including simultaneously enhancing their intrinsic interfacial toughness (Γ0inter) and mechanical dissipation (ΓDinter). Thereafter, various design strategies to enhance the Γ0inter and ΓDinter are discussed and evaluated respectively, involving multiple noncovalent/covalent interactions, topological connections, and polymer network structures. Furthermore, targeted biomedical applications of injectable hydrogel adhesives for specific tissue needs are systematically highlighted. In the end, this review outlines the challenges and trends in producing next-generation multifunctional injectable hydrogels for both practical and translational applications.

Abstract
Diabetic foot (DF) is difficult to heal due to the formation of drug-resistant bacterial biofilms and dysregulation of the wound microenvironment. To solve this problem, multifunctional hydrogels were prepared by in situ or spraying with 3-aminophenylboronic acid modified oxidized chondroitin sulfate (APBA-g-OCS), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and black phosphorus/bismuth oxide/ε-polylysine (BP/Bi2O3/ε-PL) as precursors for promoting infected diabetic wounds healing. The hydrogels display multiple stimulus responsiveness, strong adhesion and rapid self-healing ability owing to the dynamic borate ester bonds, hydrogen bonds and π-π conjugation cross-link points, remain synergistic chemo-photothermal antibacterial effect and anti-biofilm formation ability due to the doping of BP/ Bi2O3/ε-PL into the hydrogel by dynamic imine bonds crosslinking and possess anti-oxidation and inflammatory chemokine adsorption ability attributing to the presence of APBA-g-OCS. Most importantly, as a result of the above functions, the hydrogels can not only respond to the wound microenvironment to conduct combined PTT and chemotherapy for efficient anti-inflammation, but also improve the wound microenvironment by scavenging ROS and regulating the expression of cytokines, thus further accelerating collagen deposition, promoting granulation tissue formation and angiogenesis, finally promoting the healing of infected wounds in diabetic rats.

Abstract
Currently, antibiotics are the most common treatment for bacterial infections in clinical practice. However, with the abuse of antibiotics and the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, the use of antibiotics has faced an unprecedented challenge. It is imminent to develop nonantibiotic antimicrobial agents. Based on the cation-π structure of barnacle cement protein, a polyphosphazene-based polymer poly[(N,N-dimethylethylenediamine)-g-(N,N,N,N-dimethylaminoethyl p-ammonium bromide (ammonium bromide)-g-(N,N,N,N-dimethylaminoethyl acetate ethylammonium bromide)] (PZBA) with potential adhesion and inherent antibacterial properties was synthesized, and a series of injectable antibacterial adhesive hydrogels (PZBA-PVA) were prepared by cross-linking with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). PZBA-PVA hydrogels showed good biocompatibility, and the antibacterial rate of the best-performed hydrogel reached 99.81 ± 0.04% and 98.80 ± 2.16% against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli within 0.5 h in vitro, respectively. In the infected wound model, the healing rate of the PZBA-PVA-treated group was significantly higher than that of the Tegaderm film group due to the fact that the hydrogel suppressed inflammatory responses and modulated the infiltration of immune cells. Moreover, the wound healing mechanism of the PZBA-PVA hydrogel was further evaluated by real-time polymerase chain reaction and total RNA sequencing. The results indicated that the process of hemostasis and tissue development was prompted and the inflammatory and immune responses were suppressed to accelerate wound healing. Overall, the PZBA-PVA hydrogel is shown to have the potential for infected wound healing application.

A hydrogel-based first-aid tissue adhesive with effective hemostasis and anti-bacteria for trauma emergency management. Biomater Res 2023; 27:56. [PMID: 37269017 DOI: 10.1186/s40824-023-00392-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/08/2023] [Indexed: 06/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical tissue adhesives remain some critical drawbacks for managing emergency injuries, such as inadequate adhesive strength and insufficient anti-infection ability. Herein, a novel, self-healing, and antibacterial carboxymethyl chitosan/polyaldehyde dextran (CMCS/PD) hydrogel is designed as the first-aid tissue adhesive for effective trauma emergency management. METHODS We examined the gel-forming time, porosity, self-healing, antibacterial properties, cytotoxicity, adhesive strength, and hemocompatibility. Liver hemorrhage, tail severance, and skin wound infection models of rats are constructed in vivo, respectively. RESULTS Results demonstrate that the CMCS/PD hydrogel has the rapid gel-forming (~ 5 s), good self-healing, and effective antibacterial abilities, and could adhere to tissue firmly (adhesive strength of ~ 10 kPa and burst pressure of 327.5 mmHg) with excellent hemocompatibility and cytocompatibility. This suggests the great prospect of CMCS/PD hydrogel in acting as a first-aid tissue adhesive for trauma emergency management. The CMCS/PD hydrogel is observed to not only achieve rapid hemostasis for curing liver hemorrhage and tail severance in comparison to commercial hemostatic gel (Surgiflo ®) but also exhibit superior anti-infection for treating acute skin trauma compared with clinical disinfectant gel (Prontosan ®). CONCLUSIONS Overall, the CMCS/PD hydrogel offers a promising candidate for first-aid tissue adhesives to manage the trauma emergency. Because of the rapid gel-forming time, it could also be applied as a liquid first-aid bandage for mini-invasive surgical treatment.

Versatile Hydrogel Dressing with Skin Adaptiveness and Mild Photothermal Antibacterial Activity for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus-Infected Dynamic Wound Healing. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2023; 10:e2206585. [PMID: 36776018 PMCID: PMC10104652 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202206585] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2022] [Revised: 12/28/2022] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Bacterial infection often induces chronic repair of wound healing owing to aggravated inflammation. Hydrogel dressing exhibiting intrinsic antibacterial activity may substantially reduce the use of antibiotics for infected wound management. Hence, a versatile hydrogel dressing (rGB/QCS/PDA-PAM) exhibiting skin adaptiveness on dynamic wounds and mild photothermal antibacterial activity is developed for safe and efficient infected wound treatment. Phenylboronic acid-functionalized graphene (rGB) and oxadiazole-decorated quaternary carboxymethyl chitosan (QCS) are incorporated into a polydopamine-polyacrylamide (PDA-PAM) network with multiple covalent and noncovalent bonds, which conferred the hydrogel with flexible mechanical properties, strong tissue adhesion and excellent self-healing ability on the dynamic wounds. Moreover, the glycocalyx-mimicking phenylboronic acid on the surface of rGB enables the hydrogel to specifically capture bacteria. The enhanced membrane permeability of QCS enhanced bacterial vulnerability to photothermal therapy(PTT), which is demonstrated by efficient mild PTT antibacteria against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in vitro and in vivo at temperatures of <49.6 °C. Consequently, the hydrogel demonstrate accelerated tissue regeneration on MRSA-infected wound in vivo, with an intact epidermis, abundant collagen deposition and prominent angiogenesis. Therefore, rGB/QCS/PDA-PAM is a versatile hydrogel dressing exhibiting inherent antibacterial activity and has considerable potential in treating wounds infected with drug-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
Adhesive materials are natural or synthetic polymers with the ability to adhere to the surface of luminal mucus or epithelial cells. They are widely used in the biomedical field due to their unique adhesion, biocompatibility, and excellent surface properties. When used in the human body, they can adhere to an accessible target and remain at the focal site for a longer period, improving the therapeutic effect on local disease. An adhesive material with bacteriostatic properties can play an antibacterial role at the focal site and the adhesive properties of the material can prevent the focal site from being infected by bacteria for a period. In addition, some adhesive materials can promote cell growth and tissue repair. In this review, the properties and mechanism of natural adhesive materials, organic adhesive materials, composite adhesive materials, and underwater adhesive materials have been introduced systematically. The applications of these adhesive materials in drug delivery, antibacterials, tissue repair, and other applications are described in detail. Finally, we have discussed the prospects and challenges of using adhesive materials in the field of biomedicine.

Abstract
Recently, synthetic polymers have attracted great interest in the field of biomedical science. Among these, polyphosphazenes (PPZs) are regarded as one of the most promising materials, due to their structural flexibility and biodegradability compared to other materials. PPZs have been developed through numerous studies. In particular, multi-functionalized PPZs have been proven to be potential biomaterials in various forms, such as nanoparticles (NPs) and hydrogels, through the introduction of various functional groups. Thus, PPZs have been applied for the delivery of therapeutic molecules (low molecular weight drugs, genes and proteins), bioimaging, phototherapy, bone regeneration, dental liners, modifiers and medical devices. The main goal of the present review is to highlight the recent and the most notable existing PPZ-based biomaterials for aforementioned applications, with future perspectives in mind.

Abstract
Realizing rapid and stable bonding under humid conditions has remained a challenge in adhesion science and wound dressing. In this study, polyacrylate-based underwater tape with water-enhanced adhesion and antimicrobial performance was designed and synthesized. Good underwater adhesion performance is achieved through the reasonable selection of comonomers, among which 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate (4-HBA) and isobornyl acrylate (IBOA) provide rich hydrogen bond interactions and a rigid side chain stable structure, respectively. The former effectively increases the interface strength between the tape and the substrate, while the latter ensures that the tape can maintain a good cohesion strength under water. Besides, povidone iodine (PVP-I2) as a reinforcing filler and germicidal factor endows the tape with tunable mechanical properties and impressive antimicrobial abilities. This work provides a facile approach to prepare a wet adhesive for medical and industrial fields which can be used as wound dressing and underwater adhesive materials.

Abstract
The high level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and bacterial infection impede wound healing of the diabetic wound. Here, benefiting from the antioxidation effects of tannic acid (TA) and ROS-responsive phenylborate ester (PBAE), a series of ROS-responsive anti-inflammatory TA-conjugated nanoparticle hydrogels (PPBA-TA-PVA) can be obtained by conveniently mixing TA, phenylboric acid modified polyphosphazene (PPBA), and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). The obtained PPBA-TA-PVA hydrogels could effectively inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli (antibacterial rate = 93.1 ± 1.1%) within 4 h and effectively scavenge both 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals and •OH radicals in vitro. Besides, the cell migration rate of HDFa cells treated with PPBA-TA-PVA hydrogels (84.2 ± 4.6%) was twice the rate of normal cells (43.8 ± 8.1%) after 24 h of cocultivation. The clinical relevance was demonstrated further by assessing the PPBA-TA-PVA hydrogels in full-thickness excisional wounds in a streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rat model. The PPBA-TA-PVA hydrogels could act as effective ROS-scavenging agents to alleviate inflammation and accelerate wound closure by decreasing the proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β) and increasing the gene expression of TGF-β1, COL-1, and COL-3, which resulted in faster re-epithelialization and increased formation of granulation tissue.

Abstract
The functionalization and performance improvement of supramolecular hydrogels are very important for their application in the wound dressing field. Inspired by the role of lignin in plant cell walls, sulfonated lignin is introduced into the supramolecular hydrogel to improve functionality, mechanical strength, and biological activity. According to the chemical structure characteristics of the sulfonated lignin and the requirements for wound dressing, a novel polymer system is designed and successfully synthesized to cooperate with the sulfonated lignin to form the supramolecular hydrogel dressings. The introduction of the sulfonated lignin can effectively improve the mechanical strength, self-healing property, antioxidant activity, and biological activity of the obtained supramolecular hydrogel dressings. In the rat wound healing model experiment, the supramolecular hydrogel dressings can maintain the moist environment on the wound surface, clean up the excretion of wound tissue, promote wound healing, and reduce the occurrence of inflammation. This supramolecular hydrogel dressing shows obvious potential for wound management and treatment by a facile and effective approach and has great promise for long-term application of wound dressings. This strategy for designing polymers according to the chemical structure characteristics of the sulfonated lignin and the application requirements has reference value for further development of biomass-based compound materials.

Abstract
As the first defensive line between the human body and the outside world, the skin is vulnerable to damage from the external environment. Skin wounds can be divided into acute wounds (mechanical injuries, chemical injuries and surgical wounds, etc.) and chronic wounds (burns, infections, diabetes, etc.). In order to manage skin wound, a variety of wound dressings have been developed, including gauze, films, foams, nanofibers, hydrocolloids and hydrogels. Recently, hydrogels have received much attention because of their natural extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimik structure, tunable mechanical properties, and facile bioactive substance delivery capability. They show great potential application in skin wound repair. This paper first introduces the anatomy and function of the skin, the process of wound healing and conventional wound dressings, and then introduces the composition and construction methods of hydrogels. Next, this paper introduces the necessary properties of hydrogels in skin wound repair and the latest research progress of hydrogel dressings for skin wound repair.
