Abstract
Treatment of infected wound by simultaneously eliminating bacteria and inducing angiogenesis to promote wound tissue regeneration remains a clinical challenge. Dynamic and reversable hydrogels can adapt to irregular wound beds, which have raised great attention as wound dressings. Herein, a sprayable chitosan-based hydrogel (HPC/CCS/ODex-IGF1) was developed using hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPC), caffeic acid functionalized chitosan (CCS), oxidized dextran (ODex) to crosslink through the dynamic imine bond, which was pH-responsive to the acidic microenvironment and could controllably release insulin growth factor-1 (IGF1). The HPC/CCS/ODex-IGF1 hydrogels not only showed self-healing, self-adaptable and sprayable properties, but also exhibited excellent antibacterial ability, antioxidant property, low-cytotoxicity and angiogenetic activity. In vivo experiments demonstrated that hydrogels promoted tissue regeneration and healing of bacteria-infected wound with a rate of approximately 98.4 % on day 11 by eliminating bacteria, reducing inflammatory and facilitating angiogenesis, demonstrating its great potential for wound dressing.

Synergistic effect of protein foams and polysaccharide on the invisible hemostasis of acellular dermal matrix sponges. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 274:133138.

Abstract
Efficient management of hemorrhage is vital for preventing hemorrhagic shock and safeguarding wounds against infection. Inspired by the traditional Chinese steamed bread-making process, which involves kneading, foaming, and steaming, we devised a hemostatic sponge by amalgamating an acellular dermal matrix gel, hydroxyethyl starch, and rice hydrolyzed protein. The integration of hydroxyethyl starch bolstered the sponge's mechanical and hemostatic attributes, while the inclusion of rice hydrolyzed protein, acting as a natural foaming agent, enhanced its porosity This augmentation facilitated rapid blood absorption, accelerated clot formation, and stimulated the clotting cascade. Experimental findings underscore the exceptional biocompatibility and physicochemical characteristics of the hemostatic sponge, positioning it on par with commercially available collagen hemostatic sponges for hemorrhage control. Mechanistically, the sponge fosters aggregation and activation of red blood cells and platelets, expediting coagulation kinetics both in vivo and in vitro. Notably, this hemostatic sponge activates the clotting cascade sans crosslinking agents, offering a premium yet cost-effective biomaterial with promising clinical applicability.

Abstract
Hemostatic powder is widely employed for emergency bleeding control due to its ability to conform to irregularly shaped wounds, ease of use, and stable storage. However, current powders exhibit limited tissue adhesion and insufficient support for thrombus formation, making them easily washed away by blood. In this study, a hybrid powder (QAL) was produced by mixing quaternized chitosan (QCS) powder, catechol-modified alginate (Cat-SA) powder, and laponite (Lap) powder. Upon addition of QAL, the blood quickly transformed to a robust and adhesive blood gel. The adhesion strength of the blood gel was up to 31.33 ± 1.56 kPa. When compared with Celox, QAL showed superior performance in promoting hemostasis. Additionally, QAL exhibited effectiveness in eliminating bacteria while also demonstrating outstanding biocompatibility with cells and blood. These favorable properties, including strong coagulation, adhesion to wet tissue, antibacterial activity, biosafety, ease of use, and stable storage, make QAL a promising emergency hemostatic agent.

Abstract
Hemostatic powder is widely utilized in emergency situations to control bleeding due to its ability to work well on wounds with irregular shapes, ease of application, and long-term stability. However, traditional powder often suffers from limited tissue adhesion and insufficient support for blood clot formation, leaving it susceptible to displacement by the flow of blood. This study introduces a hemostatic powder composed of tannic modified mesoporous bioactive glass (TMBG), cationic quaternized chitosan (QCS), and anionic hyaluronic acid modified with catechol group (HADA). The resulting TMBG/QCS/HADA based hemostatic powder (TMQH) rapidly absorbs plasma, concentrating blood coagulation factors. Simultaneously, the water-soluble QCS and HADA interact to form a 3D network structure, which can be strengthened by crosslinking with TMBG. This network effectively captures clustered blood coagulation factors, leading to a strong and adhesive thrombus that resists disruption from blood flow. TMQH exhibits superior efficacy in promoting hemostasis compared to Celox™ both in rat arterial injuries and non-compressible liver puncture wounds. TMQH demonstrates excellent antibacterial activity, cytocompatibility, and blood compatibility. These outstanding superiorities in blood clotting capability, wet tissue adhesion, antibacterial activity, safety for living organisms, ease of application, and long-term stability, make TMQH highly suitable for emergency hemostasis.

Abstract
Wound healing and infection remain significant challenges due to the ineffectiveness against multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria and the complex oxidative wound microenvironments. To address these issues, thymoquinone-reinforced injectable and thermosensitive TQ@PEG-PAF-Cur hydrogels with dual functions of microenvironment reshaping and photodynamic therapy are developed. The hydrogel comprises natural compound thymoquinone (TQ) and poly (ethylene glycol)-block-poly (alanine-co-phenyl alanine) copolymers (PEG-PAF) conjugated with natural photosensitizer curcumin (Cur). The incorporation of TQ and Cur reduces the sol-to-gel transition temperature of TQ@PEG-PAF-Cur to 30°C, compared to PEG-PAF hydrogel (37°C), due to the formation of strong hydrogen bonding, matching the wound microenvironment temperature. Under blue light excitation, TQ@PEG-PAF-Cur generates significant amounts of reactive oxygen species such as H2O2, 1O2, and ·OH, exhibiting rapid and efficient bactericidal capacities against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and broad spectrum β-lactamases Escherichia coli via photodynamic therapy (PDT). Additionally, Cur effectively inhibits the expressions of proinflammatory cytokines in skin tissue-forming cells. As a result, the composite hydrogel can rapidly transform into a gel to cover the wound, reshape the wound microenvironment, and accelerate wound healing in vivo. This collaborative antibacterial strategy provides valuable insights to guide the development of multifunctional materials for efficient wound healing.

Abstract
The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria poses a significant challenge to global health. Due to a shortage of antibiotics, alternative therapeutic strategies are urgently needed. Unfortunately, colistin, the last-resort antibiotic, has unavoidable nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity, and its single killing mechanism is prone to drug resistance. To address this challenge, a promising combinatorial approach that includes colistin, a membrane-disrupting antimicrobial agent, and chelerythrine (CHE), a FtsZ protein inhibitor is proposed. This approach significantly reduces antibiotic dose and development of resistance, leading to almost complete inactivation of MDR pathogens in vitro. To address solubility issues and ensure transport, the antimicrobial hydrogel system LNP-CHE-CST@hydrogel, which induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptosis-like cell death by targeting the FtsZ protein, is used. In an in vivo mouse skin infection model, the combination therapy effectively eliminated MDR bacteria within 24 h, as monitored by fluorescence tracking. The findings demonstrate a promising approach for developing multifunctional hydrogels to combat MDR bacterial infections.

Abstract
Trauma requires immediate hemostasis during primary care, as well as durable hemostasis that can withstand dynamic wound exposure. Although current hemostatic materials can treat bleeding sites in emergency situations, their mechanical strength and storage conditions limit their practical application. The simultaneous combination of good mechanical properties, storage stability, biocompatibility, and rapid hemostasis of hemostatic materials remains a challenge. In this paper, a novel hemostatic material based on multiple non-covalent bond crosslinking, which has excellent mechanical properties, good biocompatibility, storage stability, and rapid hemostasis ability, is reported. Under the drive of multiple non-covalent bonds, the flowability of hydrogel micro-modules (HM) decreases rapidly within 20 s after exposure to physiological saline. The HM form a gel barrier with a tensile strength of 62.10 kPa and an elongation at break of 1976% under multiple non-covalent bonding. Furthermore, the mechanical properties do not change significantly after 30 days of storage. Cell viability is maintained at over 80% after 3 days of incubation with the cells, and the hemolysis test shows a very low hemolysis rate (2.08%). The hemostatic gel formed by HM effectively prevents secondary bleeding in dynamic hemostasis experiments simulating transportation. This work provides a hemostatic material with comprehensive properties for practical applications.

Abstract
The combination of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) with porous zeolites could enable the development of multifunctional composites and extend their optical applications in sensing, detection and biomedical monitoring. Herein, a series of high luminescent UCNPs@Zeolites nano-micro composites were constructed via the in situ growth strategy, by taking the low phonon-energy fluoride nanoparticles of NaLnF4 (Ln = Y, Gd) as doping hosts for Er3+/Yb3+, desilicated FAUY and ZSM-5 as the target zeolites. Benefiting from the formation of tightly combined interfaces between the UCNPs and the target zeolites that effectively passive the surface defects of UCNPs, three orders of magnitude of improved upconversion emission in maximum was obtained under 980 nm excitation through afterward heat treatment at 400 ℃. Moreover, the pre-exchange of Yb3+ into target zeolites before the in situ growth of UCNPs is another feasible approach to drastically improve the upconversion emission intensity of the UCNPs@Zeolites nano-micro composites. By taking NaGdF4:Yb,Er@DSZSM-5/HT as an example probe, the detection of GA was demonstrated and the detection ability of which is super than that of the corresponding bare NaGdF4:Yb,Er UCNPs. This research provided a universal approach to construct the UCNPs@Zeolites nano-micro composites with varied upconversion emission colors simply by choosing activator ions, which therefore indicates wide potential applications.

Abstract
In recent years, the coagulation properties of inorganic minerals such as kaolin and zeolite have been demonstrated. This study aimed to assess the hemostatic properties of three local clays from China: natural kaolin from Hainan, natural halloysite from Yunnan, and zeolite synthesized by our group. The physical and chemical properties, blood coagulation performance, and cell biocompatibility of the three materials were tested. The studied materials were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). All three clays showed different morphologies and particle size, and exhibited negative potentials between pH 6 and 8. The TGA and DSC curves for kaolin and halloysite were highly similar. Kaolin showed the highest water absorption capacity (approximately 93.8% ± 0.8%). All three clays were noncytotoxic toward L929 mouse fibroblasts. Kaolin and halloysite showed blood coagulation effects similar to that exhibited by zeolite, indicating that kaolin and halloysite are promising alternative hemostatic materials.

Abstract
The current article describes the biological activity of new biomaterials combining the "green" properties of humic substances (HSs) and silver nanoparticles. The aim is to investigate the antioxidant activity (AOA) of HS matrices (macroligands) and AgNPs stabilized with humic macroligands (HS-AgNPs). The unique chemical feature of HSs makes them very promising ligands (matrices) for AgNP stabilization. HSs have previously been shown to exert many pharmacological effects mediated by their AOA. AgNPs stabilized with HS showed a pronounced ability to bind to reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the test with ABTS. Also, higher AOA was observed for HS-AgNPs as compared to the HS matrices. In vitro cytotoxicity studies have shown that the stabilization of AgNPs with the HS matrices reduces the cytotoxicity of AgNPs. As a result of in vitro experiments with the use of 2,7-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFDA), it was found that all HS materials tested and the HS-AgNPs did not exhibit prooxidant effects. Moreover, more pronounced AOA was shown for HS-AgNP samples as compared to the original HS matrices. Two putative mechanisms of the pronounced AOA of the tested compositions are proposed: firstly, the pronounced ability of HSs to inactivate ROS and, secondly, the large surface area and surface-to-volume ratio of HS-AgNPs, which facilitate electron transfer and mitigate kinetic barriers to the reduction reaction. As a result, the antioxidant properties of the tested HS-AgNPs might be of particular interest for biomedical applications aimed at inhibiting the growth of bacteria and viruses and the healing of purulent wounds.
