Abstract
Unsatisfactory mechanical and antibacterial properties restricted the solo use of chitosan (CS) as a wound dressing. In this work, a novel CS/hydroxyapatite/ZIF-8 (CS/HAp/ZIF-8, CHZ-10) porous membrane was facilely constructed by in situ loading of ZIF-8 on CS/HAp. The advantages of the three compositions were rationally integrated, and the multifunctionality and practicality of this CS-based dressing were improved. HAp not only improved the mechanical strength and stability of CS, but also promoted cell proliferation and accelerated hemostasis with its released Ca2+. Meanwhile, ZIF-8 enhanced the antibacterial activity of CS by releasing antibacterial Zn2+ in a pH-responsive and sustainable manner, avoiding the bio-accumulation toxicity of heavy metals. Compared with CS/HAp and conventionally used gauze, CHZ-10 exhibited superior coagulation and hemolytic ability, as well as outstanding antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus. Besides, both in vivo observation and histological evaluation demonstrated that CHZ-10 could not only effectively inhibit bacterial infection and reduce inflammation of the wound, but also promote its re-epithelialization, granulation, tissue formation and collagen fibre growth, leading to effectively enhanced wound-healing. This work provides a new method for the easy construction of multifunctional antibacterial dressings based on CS, showing promise for application in clinical wound care.

Abstract
Severe bleeding has caused significant financial losses as well as a major risk to the lives and health of military and civilian populations. Under some situations, the natural coagulation mechanism of the body is unable to achieve fast hemostasis without the use of hemostatic drugs. Thus, the development of hemostatic materials and techniques is essential. Improving the quality of life and survival rate of patients and minimizing bodily damage requires fast, efficient hemostasis and prevention of bleeding. Alginate is regarded as an outstanding hemostatic polymer because of its non-immunogenicity, biodegradability, good biocompatibility, simple gelation, non-toxicity, and easy availability. This review summarizes the basics of hemostasis and emphasizes the recent developments regarding alginate-based hemostatic systems. Structural modifications and mixing with other materials have widely been used for the improvement of hemostatic characteristics of alginate and for making multifunctional medical devices that not only prevent uncontrolled bleeding but also have antibacterial characteristics, drug delivery abilities, and curing effects. This review is hoped to prepare critical insights into alginate modifications for better hemostatic properties.

Abstract
Massive bleeding resulting from civil and martial accidents can often lead to shock or even death, highlighting the critical need for the development of rapid and efficient hemostatic materials. While various types of hemostatic materials are currently utilized in clinical practice, they often come with limitations such as poor biocompatibility, toxicity, and biodegradability. Polysaccharides, such as alginate (AG), chitosan (CS), cellulose, starch, hyaluronic acid (HA), and dextran, have exhibit excellent biocompatibility and in vivo biodegradability. Their degradation products are non-toxic to surrounding tissues and can be absorbed by the body. As a result, polysaccharides have been extensively utilized in the development of hemostatic materials and have gained significant attention in the field of in vivo hemostasis. This review offers an overview of the different forms, hemostatic mechanisms, and specific applications of polysaccharides. Additionally, it discusses the future opportunities and challenges associated with polysaccharide-based hemostats.

Abstract
A series of intricate and dynamic physiological healing processes are involved in the healing of skin wounds. Herein, a multifunctional hydrogel is firstly designed and constructed by L-arginine-grafted O-carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCA), catechol-modified oxidized hyaluronic acid (DOHA), and dopamine nanoparticles (pDA-NPs). pDA-NPs were loaded in hydrogel for inherently powerful antimicrobial properties and could be as a cross-linking agent to construct hydrogels. Raffinose (Raf) was further incorporated to obtain CMCA-DOHA-pDA2@Raf hydrogel for its function of modulating epidermal differentiation. The hydrogel has good physicochemical properties and could promote cell proliferation and migration, which shows superior hemostatic capabilities in animal models of hemorrhage. The hydrogel significantly promoted wound healing on rat skin defect models by upregulating VEGF and CD31 and decreasing IL-6 and TNF-α, stimulating neovascularization and collagen deposition in epithelial structures. This multifunctional hydrogel implies the potential to be a dynamic wound dressing.

Abstract
Recently, biomacromolecules have received considerable attention in hemostatic materials. Collagen, an ideal candidate for hemostatic sponges due to its involvement in the clotting process, has been facing challenges in extraction from raw materials, which is time-consuming, expensive, and limited by cultural and religious restrictions associated with traditional livestock and poultry sources. To address these issues, this study explored a new shortcut method that using wild Halocynthia roretzi (HR), a marine fouling organism, as a raw material for developing HR collagen fiber sponge (HRCFs), which employed urea to disrupt hydrogen bonds between collagen fiber aggregates. This method simplifies traditional complex manufacturing processes while utilized marine waste, thus achieving dual green in terms of raw materials and manufacturing processes. FTIR results confirmed that the natural triple-helical structure of collagen was preserved. HRCFs exhibit a blood absorption ratio of 2000-3500 %, attributed to their microporous structure, as demonstrated by kinetic studies following a capillary model. Remarkably, the cytotoxicity and hemolysis ratio of HRCFs are negligible. Furthermore, during in vivo hemostasis tests using rabbit ear and kidney models, HRCFs significantly reduce blood loss and shorten hemostasis time compared to commercial gelatin sponge and gauze, benefiting from the capillary effect and collagen's coagulation activity. This study provides new insights into the design of collagen-based hemostatic biomaterials, especially in terms of both raw material and green manufacturing processes.

Abstract
Excessive bleeding is associated with a high mortality risk. In this study, citric acid and ascorbic acid were sequentially modified on the surface of microcrystalline cellulose (MCAA) to increase its carboxyl content, and their potential as hemostatic materials was investigated. The MCAA exhibited a carboxylic group content of 9.52 %, higher than that of citric acid grafted microcrystalline cellulose (MCA) at 4.6 %. Carboxyl functionalization of microcrystalline cellulose surfaces not only plays a fundamental role in the structure of composite materials but also aids in the absorption of plasma and stimulation of platelets. Fourier -transform infrared (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra confirmed that carboxyl groups were successfully introduced onto the cellulose surface. Physical properties tests indicated that the MCAA possessed higher thermal stability (Tmax = 472.2 °C) compared to microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). Additionally, in vitro hemocompatibility, cytotoxicity and hemostatic property results demonstrated that MCAA displayed good biocompatibility (hemolysis ratio <1 %), optimal cell compatibility (cell viability exceeded 100 % after 72 h incubation), and impressive hemostatic effect (BCIMCAA = 31.3 %). Based on these findings, the hemostatic effect of covering a wound with MCAA was assessed, revealing enhanced hemostatic properties using MCAA in tail-amputation and liver-injury hemorrhage models. Furthermore, exploration into hemostatic mechanisms revealed that MCAA can significantly accelerate coagulation through rapid platelet aggregation and activation of the clotting cascade. Notably, MCAA showed remarkable biocompatibility and induced minimal skin irritation. In conclusion, the results affirmed that MCAA is a safe and potentially effective hemostatic agent for hemorrhage control.

Abstract
Developing a hemostatic sponge that can effectively control bleeding from visceral injuries while guiding in situ tissue regeneration in incompressible wounds remains a challenge. Most of the existing hemostatic sponges degrade slowly, are relatively single-functioning, and cannot cope with complex environments. Herein, a biodegradable rapidly hemostatic sponge (GPZ) was created by dual-dynamic-bond cross-linking among Zn2+, protocatechualdehyde (PA)-containing catechol and aldehyde groups, and gelatin. GPZ had a uniformly distributed interconnected pore structure with excellent fluid absorption. It could effectively absorb the oozing blood and increase the blood concentration while stimulating platelet activation and accelerating blood coagulation. Compared to commercial hemostats, GPZ treatment significantly accelerated hemostasis in the rat liver defect model (∼0.33 min, ≥50% reduction in the hemostatic time) and in the rabbit liver defect model (∼1.02 min, ≥60% reduction in the hemostatic time). Additionally, GPZ had excellent antibacterial and antioxidant properties that effectively protected the wound from infection and excessive inflammation. In the liver regeneration model, GPZ significantly increased the rate of hepatic tissue repair and promoted rapid functional recovery without complications and adverse reactions. Overall, we designed a simple and effective biodegradable rapid hemostatic sponge with good clinical translational potential for treating lethal incompressible bleeding and promoting wound healing.

Abstract
In traumatized patients, the primary cause of mortality is uncontrollable continuous bleeding and unexpected intraoperative bleeding which is likely to increase the risk of complications and surgical failure. High expansion sponges are effective clinical practice for the treatment of wound bleeding (irregular/deep/narrow) that are caused by capillaries, veins and even arterioles as they possess a high liquid absorption ratio so can absorb blood platelets easily in comparison with traditional haemostasis treatments, which involve compression, ligation, or electrical coagulation etc. When in contact with blood, haemostatic sponges can cause platelet adhesion, aggregation, and thrombosis, preventing blood from flowing out from wounds, triggering the release of coagulation factors, causing the blood to form a stable polymerized fibre protein, forming blood clots, and achieving the goal of wound bleeding control. Haemostatic sponges are found in a variety of shapes and sizes. The aim of this review is to facilitate an overview of recent research around haemostatic sponge materials, products, and technology. This paper reviews the synthesis, properties, and characteristics of haemostatic sponges, together with the haemostasis mechanisms of haemostatic sponges (composite materials), such as chitosan, cellulose, gelatin, starch, graphene oxide, hyaluronic acid, alginate, polyethylene glycol, silk fibroin, synthetic polymers silver nanoparticles, zinc oxide nanoparticles, mesoporous silica nanoparticles, and silica nanoparticles. Also, this paper reviews commercial sponges and their properties. In addition to this, we discuss various in-vitro/in-vivo approaches for the evaluation of the effect of sponges on haemostasis.

Abstract
The medical disinfection cotton gauze is the most frequently used medical consumables for wound care. Here this ordinary commercial gauze was upgraded to a hemostatic gauze, which was loaded with mesoporous silica through in-situ synthesis and further microwave treatment. The original cotton gauze was pretreated with NaOH solutions for surface activation, soaked in double-silica source precursor solution for moderate in-situ synthesis, treated with microwave for quick template removement and dehydration. The final obtained hemostatic gauze (MS-G1) showed superior physical, biocompatible and hemostatic advantages. The newborn mesoporous silica was firmly anchored onto the cotton fiber surface with <20% leaching after 10 min of sonication. The microwave treatment not only shortened the time for template removal but also promotes the formation of mesoporous structure. The clotting blood time (CBT) of MS-G1 were only (62.00 ± 5.56 s), which was 23.14% shorter than that of original medical gauze, and even 3.6% shorter than Combat Gauze (CG). MS-G1 also showed excellent biocompatibility in cytotoxicity tests of L-929 cells, with a 116% proliferation rate at the concentration of 5 mg/mL. Furthermore, the hemostatic performance was explored on a rabbit wound model of hemorrhagic liver injury, and MS-G1 showed both shorter hemostasis time (113.75 s) and less blood loss (1.69 g) than that of CG (180.00 s, 5.13 g). The hemostatic gauze anchored with mesoporous silica was expected to be an excellent prehospital hemostatic dressing for field first aid.

Abstract
Sponges with highly absorptive properties have been widely used in emergency hemostasis. Graphene oxide (GO) has been extensively investigated in biomedical applications and is a promising candidate for hemostatic sponges. However, GO has been demonstrated to have adverse effects on the human body. To overcome this problem, a hemostatic sponge based on modified GO and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) is successfully prepared, which has excellent water absorption ability and mechanical strength. Importantly, hemostasis assays showed that the composite sponge exhibited high hemostatic efficiency, and the possible hemostatic mechanism is also discussed in this study. Moreover, the results of in vitro antibacterial tests reveal that the composite sponge also presents strong antimicrobial effects against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Significantly, the composited sponge used as hemostatic dressing can effectively promote cell proliferation, achieving a wound closure rate of 95% on day 12. Such a graphene-based sponge with multiple advantageous features would hold broad prospects in the hemostatic field.

Abstract
Uncontrolled hemorrhage of deep, narrow, and non-compressible perforating wounds is responsible for many trauma deaths. In this study, a rapid hemostatic sponge with an orderly channel based on methacrylated collagen (ColMA) was prepared via directional freeze-drying technology. The methacrylated hyaluronate (HAMA) was added to further enhance the mechanical properties of the sponge. The sponge presents excellent mechanical strength, rapid shape recovery, and absorption speed, which was faster than those of many reported natural polymer hemostatic sponges. Moreover, ColMA/HAMA sponge showed much better blood-clotting capacity and superior hemostasis performance than commercially available collagen sponges in vitro and in the rat-liver injury model. This study demonstrated a feasible strategy to construct the rapid hemostatic sponge with an orderly channel for the deep and non-compressible perforating wound.

Abstract
Rapid hemostasis, antibacterial effect and promotion of wound healing are the most important functions that wound dressings need to have. In this work, we designed and prepared a hydrogel with antibacterial effect, hemostatic ability and wound healing promotion using agar, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and tannic acid (TA). We performed a series of tests to characterize the structure and properties of AGAR@PVA-TA hydrogels. The results showed that the AGAR@PVA-TA hydrogels had good mechanical properties and excellent antibacterial ability as well as good hemocompatibility. The cytotoxicity results showed that the AGAR@PVA-TA hydrogels had good cytocompatibility. And the TA loaded hydrogels also presented some good performances in animal studies. In the liver hemostasis model, the AGAR@PVA-TA hydrogel showed good hemostatic ability. Also, the AGAR@PVA-TA hydrogel was able to promote wound healing in an S. aureus-infected rat wound model. More importantly, our research results demonstrated that compared to other polyphenols (such as proanthocyanidins), TA could better improve the mechanical properties, antibacterial ability and rapid hemostasis of hydrogels, which illustrated the uniqueness of TA. Therefore, the TA loaded hydrogel (AGAR@PVA-TA hydrogel) has the potential to be applied as a wound dressing.

Electrospun kaolin-loaded chitosan/PEO nanofibers for rapid hemostasis and accelerated wound healing. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 217:998-1011. [PMID: 35907464 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.07.186] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2022] [Revised: 07/19/2022] [Accepted: 07/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Development of chitosan-based hemostatic products and their application in wound healing has always been a research hotspot in the field of emergency treatment and biomedicine. In this study, the classic hemostatic chitosan and the most well-known inorganic hemostatic agent-kaolin were tried to combine to form a more excellent dressing. Together with the aid of non-toxic, harmless and good hydrophilic polyethylene oxide, chitosan/polyethylene oxide (PEO)/kaolin nanofiber membranes (CPKs) were prepared by electrospinning technology. Such membranes exhibited adjustable mechanical properties and good biocompatibility. Furthermore, a series of in vitro coagulation experiments proved that CPKs with 10 % ratio of kaolin (CPK10) has excellent hemostatic ability. Especially, in the whole blood coagulation time (WBCT) assay, the hemostatic time of CPK10 (43 ± 1.4 s) was significantly lower than that of chitosan/polyethylene oxide (CPK0) nanofiber membrane (61 ± 2.2 s) and QuikClot® Combat Gauze (55.7 ± 1.2 s). The further rat liver injury test reconfirmed that CPK10 can stop bleeding better and faster compared to other groups. In addition, CPKs could promote back wound healing in rats within 14 days without significant inflammatory response. This safe and effective hemostatic CPKs is expected to be a promising candidate hemostat in pre-hospital medical care.
