Abstract
Uncontrolled hemorrhage stands as the primary cause of potentially preventable deaths following traumatic injuries in both civilian and military populations. Addressing this critical medical need requires the development of a hemostatic material with rapid hemostatic performance and biosafety. This work describes the engineering of a chitosan-based cryogel construct using thermo-assisted cross-linking with α-ketoglutaric acid after freeze-drying. The resulting cryogel exhibited a highly interconnected macro-porous structure with low thermal conductivity, exceptional mechanical properties, and great fluid absorption capacity. Notably, assessments using rabbit whole blood in vitro, as well as rat liver volume defect and femoral artery injury models simulating severe bleeding, showed the remarkable hemostatic performance of the chitosan cryogel. Among the cryogel variants with different chitosan molecular weights, the 150 kDa one demonstrated superior hemostatic efficacy, reducing blood loss and hemostasis time by approximately 73 % and 63 % in the hepatic model, and by around 60 % and 68 %, in the femoral artery model. Additionally, comprehensive in vitro and in vivo evaluations underscored the good biocompatibility of the chitosan cryogel. Taken together, these results strongly indicate that the designed chitosan cryogel configuration holds significant potential as a safe and rapid hemostatic material for managing severe hemorrhage.

Abstract
Carboxymethylated Cassia fistula gum (CCFG) and citric acid (CA) based wound healing film, (CCFG-CA) was developed using the solvent casting method. Glycerol was added as a plasticizing agent. The synthesized Carboxymethylated Cassia fistula gum cross-linked citric acid based hydrogel film (CCFG-CA) was evaluated morphologically, thermally, and structurally using FESEM, TGA, XRD and FTIR. Three essential oils (EO), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), turmeric (Curcuma longa) and thuja (Thuja occidentalis L), known for antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, were loaded into the CCFG-CA film to develop essential oils loaded carboxymethylated Cassia fistula gum cross-linked citric acid based hydrogel film (CCFG-CA-EO). In vitro studies (MTT assay, disk diffusion assay, permeability tests and DPPH assay) confirm the biocompatibility, anti-oxidant and anti-microbial properties of the CCFG-CA-EO film. In vivo (wound healing studies on wistar rats and their histology) shows 99 % of wound healing and re-epithelialization in 14 days. Degradability (within 15 days), protein adsorption (12.05 μg/mL) and contact angle determination (69.43°ׄׄ ± 0.48) tests confirmed the potential of CCFG-CA-EO as an effective wound-healing material.

Citric acid cross-linked pomegranate peel extract-loaded pH-responsive β-cyclodextrin/carboxymethyl tapioca starch hydrogel film for diabetic wound healing. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 274:133366. [PMID: 38914385 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133366] [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: 09/28/2023] [Revised: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/26/2024]
Abstract
Pomegranate peel extract (PPE) hydrogel films filled with citric acid (CA) and β-cyclodextrin-carboxymethyl tapioca starch (CMS) were designed mainly to prevent wound infections and speed up the healing process. FTIR and NMR studies corroborated the carboxymethylation of neat tapioca starch (NS). CMS exhibited superior swelling behavior than NS. The amount of CA and β-CD controlled the physicochemical parameters of developed PPE/CA/β-CD/CMS films. Optimized film (OF) exhibited acceptable swellability, wound fluid absorptivity, water vapor transmission rate, water contact angle, and mechanical properties. Biodegradable, biocompatible, and antibacterial films exhibited pH dependence in the release of ellagic acid for up to 24 h. In mice model, PPE/CA/β-CD/CMS hydrogel film treatment showed promising wound healing effects, including increased collagen deposition, reduced inflammation, activation of the Wingless-related integration site (wnt) pathway leading to cell division, proliferation, and migration to the wound site. The expression of the WNT3A gene did not show any significant differences among all the studied groups. Developed PPE-loaded CA/β-CD/CMS film promoted wound healing by epithelialization, granulation tissue thickness, collagen deposition, and angiogenesis, hence could be recommended as a biodegradable and antibacterial hydrogel platform to improve the cell proliferation during the healing of diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA), a major component of skin extracellular matrix, provides an excellent framework for hemostatic design; however, there still lacks HA materials tailored with superior mechanical properties to address non-compressible hemorrhages. Here, we present a solvent-free thermal approach for constructing a shape-memory HA sponge for this application. Following facile thermal incubation around 130 °C, HA underwent cross-linking via esterification with poly(acrylic acid) within the sponge pre-shaped through a prior freeze-drying process. The resulting sponge system exhibited extensively interconnected macropores with a high fluid absorption capacity, excellent shape-memory property, and robust mechanical elasticity. When introduced to whole blood in vitro, the HA sponges demonstrated remarkable hemostatic properties, yielding a shorter coagulation time and lower blood clotting index compared to the commercial gelatin sponge (GS). Furthermore, in vivo hemostatic studies involving two non-compressible hemorrhage models (rat liver volume defect injury or femoral artery injury) achieved a significant reduction of approximately 64% (or 56%) and 73% (or 70%) in bleeding time and blood loss, respectively, which also outperformed GS. Additionally, comprehensive in vitro and in vivo evaluations suggested the good biocompatibility and biodegradability of HA sponges. This study highlights the substantial potential for utilizing the designed HA sponges in massive bleeding management.

Abstract
Skin is the largest organ in the human body and requires proper dressing to facilitate healing after an injury. Wounds on movable parts, such as the elbow, knee, wrist, and neck, usually undergo delayed and inefficient healing due to frequent movements. To better accommodate movable wounds, a variety of functional hydrogels have been successfully developed and used as flexible wound dressings. On the one hand, the mechanical properties, such as adhesion, stretchability, and self-healing, make these hydrogels suitable for mobile wounds and promote the healing process; on the other hand, the bioactivities, such as antibacterial and antioxidant performance, could further accelerate the wound healing process. In this review, we focus on the recent advances in hydrogel-based movable wound dressings and propose the challenges and perspectives of such dressings.

Abstract
Natural polyphenols have drawbacks such as instability and low bioavailability, which can be overcome by encapsulated slow-release systems. Natural polymer hydrogels are ideal materials for slow-release systems because of their high biocompatibility. In this study, Longzhua mushroom polysaccharide hydrogel (LMPH) was used to encapsulate rambutan peel polyphenols (RPP) and delay their release time to improve their stability and bioavailability. The mechanical properties, rheology, stability, swelling properties, water-holding capacity, RPP loading, and slow-release behavior of LMPH were investigated. The results showed that LMPH has adequate mechanical and rheological properties, high thermal stability, excellent swelling and water-holding capacity, and good self-healing behavior. Increasing the polysaccharide content not only improved the hardness (0.17-1.13 N) and water-holding capacity of LMPH (90.84-99.32%) but also enhanced the encapsulation efficiency of RPP (93.13-99.94%). The dense network structure slowed down the release of RPP. In particular, LMPH5 released only 61.58% at 48 h. Thus, a stable encapsulated slow-release system was fabricated using a simple method based on the properties of LMPH. The developed material has great potential for the sustained release and delivery of biologically active substances.

Abstract
Natural polysaccharides are being studied for their biocompatibility, biodegradability, low toxicity, and low cost in the fabrication of various hydrogel devices. However, due to their insufficient physicochemical and mechanical qualities, polysaccharide hydrogels alone are not acceptable for biological applications. Various synthetic crosslinkers have been tested to overcome the drawbacks of standalone polysaccharide hydrogels; however, the presence of toxic residual crosslinkers, the generation of toxic by-products following biodegradation, and the requirement of toxic organic solvents for processing pose challenges in achieving the desired non-toxic biomaterials. Natural crosslinkers such as citric acid, tannic acid, vanillin, gallic acid, ferulic acid, proanthocyanidins, phytic acid, squaric acid, and epigallocatechin have been used to generate polysaccharide-based hydrogels in recent years. Various polysaccharides, including cellulose, alginate, pectin, hyaluronic acid, and chitosan, have been hydrogelized and investigated for their potential in drug delivery and tissue engineering applications using natural crosslinkers. We attempted to provide an overview of the synthesis of polysaccharide-based hydrogel systems (films, complex nanoparticles, microspheres, and porous scaffolds) based on green crosslinkers, as well as a description of the mechanism of crosslinking and properties with a special emphasis on drug delivery, and tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Hydrogels are characterized by their property of absorbing and releasing a high content of water and water-based liquids; thus, they can be applied in agriculture as controlled-release water and fertilizer products. The focus of this research was efficient and low-cost natural polymer-based hydrogels obtained by crosslinking gellan gum (GGLA) and starch (ST) with acetic acid (CA) and loading them with either bentonite (BET) and/or halloysite (HAL). The hydrogels were obtained by mixing 100, 75, 50, 25, and 0 wt.% of GGLA with 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 wt.% ST water solutions. To obtain the networks, they were crosslinked with 10, 5, and 2 wt.% of CA and loaded with 2, 5, and 10 wt.% of BET and/or HAL. The samples were analyzed by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), their swelling in water, and the state of bound water properties. The results of these analyses point to the formation of a polymeric network with a decomposition temperature of >250 °C, and tailorable swelling properties that vary between 3 and 77, depending on the hydrogel composition. In summary, GGLA-ST-BET/HAL hydrogels are a good option for eco-friendly agriculture materials.

Abstract
Silver-containing wound dressings have shown attractive advantages in the treatment of wound infection due to their excellent antibacterial activity. However, the introduction of silver ions or AgNPs directly into the wound can cause deposition in the body as particles. Here, with the aim of designing low-silver wound dressings, a bimetallic-MOF antibacterial material called AgCu@MOF was developed using 3, 5-pyridine dicarboxylic acid as the ligand and Ag+ and Cu2+ as metal ion sites. PCbM (PVA/chitosan/AgCu@MOF) hydrogel was successfully constructed in PVA/chitosan wound dressing loaded with AgCu@MOF. The active sites on the surface of AgCu@MOF increased the lipophilicity to bacteria and caused the bacterial membrane to undergo lipid peroxidation, which resulted in the strong bactericidal properties of AgCu@MOF, and the antimicrobial activity of the dressing PCbM was as high as 99.9%. The chelation of silver ions in AgCu@MOF with chitosan occupied the surface functional groups of chitosan and reduced the crosslinking density of chitosan. PCbM changes the hydrogel crosslinking network, thus improving the water retention and water permeability of PCbM hydrogel so that the hydrogel has the function of binding wet tissue. As a wound adhesive, PCbM hydrogel reduces the amount of wound bleeding and has good biocompatibility. PCbM hydrogel-treated mice achieved 96% wound recovery on day 14. The strong antibacterial, tissue adhesion, and hemostatic ability of PCbM make it a potential wound dressing.

Wang D, Du L, Sun Z, Liu F, Zhang D, Wang D. Characterisation, slow-release, and antibacterial properties of carboxymethyl chitosan/inulin hydrogel film loaded with novel antilisterial durancin GL. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 318:121143. [PMID: 37479449 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.121143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2023] [Revised: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 06/21/2023] [Indexed: 07/23/2023]
Abstract
This paper reports the development of a hydrogel film with antibacterial activity and controlled release characteristics. Carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) is grafted onto durancin GL and inulin via a mediated reaction between N-hydroxysuccinimide and 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride. Rheology tests, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and lap shear tests confirmed the formation of a stable chemical cross-linking and excellent adhesion hydrogel with 4 % CMCS and 8 % inulin. The CMCS/inulin hydrogel film loaded with durancin GL appears transparent and uniform. FTIR spectroscopy results reveal the interaction mode among CMCS, inulin, durancin GL, and the hydrogel film structure. Cross-linking improved thermal stability and water-vapour barrier performance. The hydrophobicity of CMCS/inulin @Durancin GL increased under a durancin GL concentration of 0.036 g/30 mL, and the release of active substances is prolonged. In-vitro antibacterial capacity and salmon preservation experiments show that the addition of durancin GL enhanced the antibacterial activity of the hydrogel film. Therefore, CMCS/inulin@Durancin GL hydrogel films can be used as fresh-keeping packaging materials in practical applications.

Feng W, Wang Z. Tailoring the Swelling-Shrinkable Behavior of Hydrogels for Biomedical Applications. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2023; 10:e2303326. [PMID: 37544909 PMCID: PMC10558674 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202303326] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2023] [Revised: 07/15/2023] [Indexed: 08/08/2023]
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.

[PMID: 37233388 DOI: 10.3390/jfb14050278] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Revised: 05/06/2023] [Accepted: 05/15/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Oxidants play a crucial role in the development of oxidative stress, which is linked to disease progression. Ellagic acid is an effective antioxidant with applications in the treatment and prevention of several diseases, since it neutralizes free radicals and reduces oxidative stress. However, it has limited application due to its poor solubility and oral bioavailability. Since ellagic acid is hydrophobic, it is difficult to load it directly into hydrogels for controlled release applications. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to first prepare inclusion complexes of ellagic acid (EA) with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and then load them into carbopol-934-grafted-2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propane sulfonic acid (CP-g-AMPS) hydrogels for orally controlled drug delivery. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to validate ellagic acid inclusion complexes and hydrogels. There was slightly higher swelling and drug release at pH 1.2 (42.20% and 92.13%) than at pH 7.4 (31.61% and 77.28%), respectively. Hydrogels had high porosity (88.90%) and biodegradation (9.2% per week in phosphate-buffered saline). Hydrogels were tested for their antioxidant properties in vitro against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS). Additionally, the antibacterial activity of hydrogels was demonstrated against Gram-positive bacterial strains (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli) and Gram-negative bacterial strains (Pseudomonas aeruginosa).

Abstract
Oxidants play a significant role in causing oxidative stress in the body, which contributes to the development of diseases. Rutin—a powerful antioxidant—may be useful in the prevention and treatment of various diseases by scavenging oxidants and reducing oxidative stress. However, low solubility and oral bioavailability have restricted its use. Due to the hydrophobic nature of rutin, it cannot be easily loaded inside hydrogels. Therefore, first rutin inclusion complexes (RIC) with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-βCD) were prepared to improve its solubility, followed by incorporation into xanthan gum-based (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose-grafted-2-acrylamido -2-methyl-1-propane sulfonic acid) hydrogels for controlled drug release in order to improve the bioavailability. Rutin inclusion complexes and hydrogels were validated by FTIR, XRD, SEM, TGA, and DSC. The highest swelling ratio and drug release occurred at pH 1.2 (28% swelling ratio and 70% drug release) versus pH 7.4 (22% swelling ratio, 65% drug release) after 48 h. Hydrogels showed high porosity (94%) and biodegradation (9% in 1 week in phosphate buffer saline). Moreover, in vitro antioxidative and antibacterial studies (Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli) confirmed the antioxidative and antibacterial potential of the developed hydrogels.

Abstract
Sphingan WL gum (WL), a kind of exopolysaccharide, is produced by Sphingomonas sp. WG, which was screened from sea mud samples of Jiaozhou Bay by our group. The solubility of WL was investigated in this work. First, 1 mg/mL of WL solution was stirred at room temperature for at least 2 h to obtain a uniform opaque liquid, and further the solution became clear with the increased NaOH and stirring time. Subsequently, the structural features, solubility, and rheological properties of WL before and after alkali treatment were compared systematically. FTIR, NMR, and zeta potential results indicate that the alkali causes acetyl group hydrolysis and carboxyl group deprotonation. XRD, DLS, GPC, and AFM results suggest that the alkali destroys the ordered arrangement and inter- and intrachain entanglement of polysaccharide chains. In the same case, 0.9 M NaOH-treated WL presents better solubility (stirring for 15 min to obtain a clarified solution) but, unsurprisingly, worsens rheological properties. All results demonstrated that the good solubility and transparency of alkali-treated WL will help promote its postmodification and application.

Abstract
Salecan, a kind of polysaccharide, is produced by the Agrobacterium ZX09 salt tolerant strain. In this study, green crosslinked citric acid-salecan hydrogels are explored as novel materials with a high potential for use in regenerative medicine. The impact of salecan and citric acid on the final crosslinked hydrogels was intensively studied and estimated in terms of the whole physicochemical properties and antimicrobial activity. FTIR spectra demonstrated the successful green crosslinking of salecan through its esterification with citric acid where the formation of strong covalent bonds collaboratively helped to stabilize the entire hydrogel systems in a wet state. Hydrogels presented a microporous morphology, good swelling capacity, pH responsiveness, great mechanical stability under stress conditions and good antibacterial activity, all related to the concentration of the biopolymers used in the synthesis step. Additionally, salecan hydrogels were preliminary investigated as printing inks. Thanks to their excellent rheological behavior, we optimized the citrate-salecan hydrogel inks and printing parameters to render 3D constructs with great printing fidelity and integrity. The novel synthesized salecan green crosslinked hydrogels enriches the family of salecan-derived hydrogels. Moreover, this work not only expands the application of salecan hydrogels in various fields, but also provides a new potential option of designing salecan-based 3D printed scaffolds for customized regenerative medicine.

Abstract
A multitude of dressings have been developed to promote wound repair, such as membranes, foams, hydrocolloids and hydrogels. In this study, a crosslinked polysaccharide hydrogel was mixed with a bioactive ingredient to synthesize a novel nanocomposite material to be used in wound healing. Variation of the ratio between hydrogel components was followed and its effect was analyzed in regard to swelling, degradation rate and thermo-mechanical behavior. The resulting crosslinked structures were characterized by FTIR and microscopy analyses. The antimicrobial activity of the crosslinked hydrogels loaded with bioactive agent was evaluated using two bacterial strains (Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia Coli). All the results showed that the new synthesized biopolymer nanocomposites have adequate properties to be used as antibacterial wound dressings.

Abstract
Wound healing has been a great challenge throughout human history. Improper treatment for wounds is so easy to lead to infection and a series of serious symptoms, even death. Because of the ability of absorbing fluid and keeping a moist environment, the hydrogel with 3D networks is ideal candidate for wound dressing. More important, it has good biocompatibility. However, most of the hydrogel dressings reported have weak mechanical properties and adhesion properties, which greatly limit their clinical application. Herein, a tough adhesive hydrogel with good mechanical stability for non-invasive wound repair is reported. The hydrogel is composed of polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate (PEGDA), chitosan (CS) and chitin nano-whisker (CW). PEGDA and CS form interpenetrating network hydrogel through free radical polymerization reaction under the UV light. The introduction of CW further enhances the toughness of the hydrogel. The pH-sensitive CS can form adhesion to various materials through topological adhesion. As a wound closure repair material, PEGDA/CS/CW hydrogel not only has the characteristic of effectively closing the wound, defending against invading bacteria, and keeping the wound clean, but also has good tensile and mechanical stability, which is expected to realize the closure and repair of joints and other moving parts of the wound. This adhesive hydrogel is proven a promising material for wound closure repair.

Abstract
The interest of the food packaging industry in biodegradable, recyclable, and functional materials has steadily increased in recent years. The use of hydrogels in the food sector holds great potential for use in packaging systems or as carriers for bioactive substances. The synthesis of an oxygen barrier coating of prolaminic silica material and antimicrobial functionalization with fumaric acid for packaging materials described here is an elegant way to meet these requirements. The developed material achieved a significant antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, two common clinical pathogens. Another pre-requisite of such materials is a high biocompatibility, which can be assessed using human cell models, to help ensure consumer safety. The biocompatibility was determined by luminescence adenosine triphosphate and photometric lactate dehydrogenase assays. No cytotoxic effects on human keratinocytes in vitro were found for the test materials.
