Abstract
Proper wound dressing is essential to facilitate skin wound healing, stop bleeding, and prevent infections. Herein, carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) was crosslinked with oxidized tannic acid (OTA) to form an adhesive and self-healing OTA/CMC hydrogel, and etamsylate was loaded to enhance the hemostatic effect of the hydrogel dressing. The resultant OTA/CMC/E hydrogel exhibited a spectrum of noteworthy attributes including excellent cell compatibility, high antioxidant activity, effective anti-bacterium, and excellent hemorrhage control. Functionally, it mitigated intracellular ROS levels, hindered the proliferation of Staphylococcus aureus, while also significantly reducing hemostasis duration and total blood loss. In vivo full-thickness skin incision results showed that the OTA/CMC/E hydrogel could efficiently accelerate in vivo wound closure and healing, promising as an advanced wound healing material.

Abstract
Persistent bacterial colonization, abnormal inflammatory responses, and impaired angiogenesis pose significant challenges to effective wound repair, particularly in diabetic wounds. Employing exogenous bioactive substances in wound dressings is a recognized approach to dynamically respond to the wound microenvironment and accelerate the repair process. However, this strategy can lead to the development of drug resistance and induce further tissue damage. To address these challenges, we are synthesizing a novel hydrogel for diabetic wound treatment using functional poly (ionic liquid) and modified dextran. The hydrogel is characterized by its excellent tissue adhesion, exceptional self-healing capacity, and substantial compressive deformation. It exhibits broad antibacterial activity, reduces the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and enhances the healing in diabetic wounds. Its efficacy is superior to that of the positive control group. This innovative non-releasing hydrogel presents as a promising alternative to conventional antibiotics, offering significant potential for the treatment and healing of diabetic chronic wounds.

Abstract
Uncontrolled bleeding and wound infections following severe trauma pose significant challenges for existing tissue adhesives, primarily due to their weak wet adhesion, slow adhesion formation, cytotoxicity concerns, and lack of antibacterial properties. Herein, an injectable hydrogel (denoted as ES gel) with rapid, robust adhesive sealing and inherent antibacterial activity based on ε-polylysine and a poly(ethylene glycol) derivative is developed. The engineered hydrogel exhibits rapid gelation behavior, high mechanical strength, strong adhesion to various tissues, and can sustain an ultrahigh burst pressure of 450 mmHg. It also presents excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, antibacterial properties, and on-demand removability. Significantly improved hemostatic efficacy of ES gel compared to fibrin glue is demonstrated using various injury models in rats and rabbits. Remarkably, the adhesive hydrogel can effectively halt lethal non-compressible hemorrhages in visceral organs (liver, spleen, and heart) and femoral artery injury models in fully anticoagulated pigs. Furthermore, the hydrogel outperforms commercial products in sutureless wound closure and repair in the rat liver defect, skin incision, and infected full-thickness skin wound models. Overall, this study highlights the promising clinical applications of ES gel for managing uncontrolled hemorrhage, sutureless wound closure, and infected wound repair.

Abstract
Skin is the first defense barrier of the human body, which can resist the invasion of external dust, microorganisms and other pollutants, and ensure that the human body maintains the homeostasis of the internal environment. Once the skin is damaged, the health threat to the human body will increase. Wound repair and the human internal environment are a dynamic process. How to effectively accelerate the healing of wounds without affecting the internal environment of the human body and guarantee that the repaired tissue retains its original function as much as possible has become a research hotspot. With the advancement of technology, researchers have combined new technologies to develop and prepare various types of materials for wound healing. This article will introduce the wound repair materials developed and prepared in recent years from three types: nanofibers, composite hydrogels, and other new materials. The paper aims to provide reference for researchers in related fields to develop and prepare multifunctional materials. This may be helpful to design more ideal materials for clinical application, and then achieve better wound healing and regeneration effects.

Abstract
To alleviate skull defects and enhance the biological activity of taxifolin, this study utilized the thin-film dispersion method to prepare paclitaxel liposomes (TL). Thiolated chitosan (CSSH)-modified TL (CTL) was synthesized through charge interactions. Injectable hydrogels (BLG) were then prepared as hydrogel scaffolds loaded with TAX (TG), TL (TLG), and CTL (CTLG) using a Schiff base reaction involving oxidized dextran and carboxymethyl chitosan. The study investigated the bone reparative properties of CTLG through molecular docking, western blot techniques, and transcriptome analysis. The particle sizes of CTL were measured at 248.90 ± 14.03 nm, respectively, with zeta potentials of +36.68 ± 5.43 mV, respectively. CTLG showed excellent antioxidant capacity in vitro. It also has a good inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, with inhibition rates of 93.88 ± 1.59 % and 88.56 ± 2.83 % respectively. The results of 5-ethynyl-2 '-deoxyuridine staining, alkaline phosphatase staining and alizarin red staining showed that CTLG also had the potential to promote the proliferation and differentiation of mouse embryonic osteoblasts (MC3T3-E1). The study revealed that CTLG enhances the expression of osteogenic proteins by regulating the Wnt signaling pathway, shedding light on the potential application of TAX and bone regeneration mechanisms.

Abstract
Patients diagnosed with T1a cancer undergo partial nephrectomy to remove the tumors. In the process of removing the tumors, loss of kidney volume is inevitable, and current surgical methods focus solely on hemostasis and wound closure. Here, we developed an implantable form of decellularized extracellular matrix sponge to target both hemostasis and wound healing at the lesion site. A porous form of kidney decellularized matrix was achieved by fabricating a chemically cross-linked cryogel followed by lyophilization. The prepared kidney decellularized extracellular matrix sponge (kdES) was then characterized for features relevant to a hemostasis as well as a biocompatible and degradable biomaterial. Finally, histological evaluations were made after implantation in rat kidney incision model. Both gelatin sponge and kdES displayed excellent hemocompatibility and biocompatibility. However, after a 4-week observation period, kdES exhibited more favorable wound healing results at the lesion site. This suggests a promising potential for kdES as a supportive material in facilitating wound closure during partial nephrectomy surgery. KdES not only achieved rapid hemostasis for managing renal hemorrhage that is comparable to commercial hemostatic sponges, but also demonstrated superior wound healing outcomes.

Abstract
Current therapeutic approaches for skin cancer face significant challenges, including wound infection, delayed skin regeneration, and tumor recurrence. To overcome these challenges, an injectable adhesive near-infrared (NIR)-responsive hydrogel with time-dependent enhancement in viscosity is developed for combined melanoma therapy and antibacterial wound healing acceleration. The multifunctional hydrogel is prepared through the chemical crosslinking between poly(methyl vinyl ether-alt-maleic acid) and gelatin, followed by the incorporation of CuO nanosheets and allantoin. The synergistic inherent antibacterial potential of CuO nanosheets, the regenerative and smoothing effect of allantoin, the extracellular matrix-mimicking effect of gelatin, and the desirable swelling behavior of the hydrogel results in fast wound recovery after photothermal ablation of the tumor. Additionally, the hydrogel can serve as an alternative to sutures owing to its tissue adhesiveness ability, which can further render it the merits for accelerated repair of abdominal lesions while acting as a biocompatible barrier to prevent peritoneal adhesion.

Abstract
Hydrogels have emerged as a promising option for treating local scald wounds due to their unique physical and chemical properties. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of ovalbumin/gelatin composite hydrogels in repairing deep II-degree scald wounds using a mouse dorsal skin model. Trauma tissues collected at various time points are analyzed for total protein content, hydroxyproline content, histological features, and expression of relevant markers. The results reveal that the hydrogel accelerates the healing process of scalded wounds, which is 17.27% higher than the control group. The hydrogel treatment also effectively prevents wound enlargement and redness of the edges caused by infection during the initial stage of scalding. The total protein and hydroxyproline content of the treated wounds are significantly elevated. Additionally, the hydrogel up-regulates the expression of VEGF (a crucial angiogenic factor) and down-regulates CD68 (a macrophage marker). In summary, this study provides valuable insights into the potential of multifunctional protein-based hydrogels in wound healing.

Abstract
In this study, nanocomposites of AgNPs encapsulated in carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) with sulfobetaine methacrylate (SB) hydrogel (AgNPs/CMCS-SB) were synthesized. The UV-Vis spectra indicated the presence of AgNPs, with a broad peak at around 424 nm, while the AgNPs-loaded CMCS-SB nanocomposite exhibited absorption peaks at 445 nm. The size and dispersion of AgNPs varied with the concentration of the AgNO3 solution, affecting swelling rates: 148.37 ± 15.63%, 172.26 ± 18.14%, and 159.17 ± 16.59% for 1.0 mM, 3.0 mM, and 5.0 mM AgNPs/CMCS-SB, respectively. Additionally, water absorption capacity increased with AgNPs content, peaking at 11.04 ± 0.54% for the 3.0 mM AgNPs/CMCS-SB nanocomposite. Silver release from the nanocomposite was influenced by AgNO3 concentration, showing rapid initial release followed by a slower rate over time for the 3.0 mM AgNPs/CMCS-SB. XRD patterns affirmed the presence of AgNPs, showcasing characteristic peaks indicative of a face-centered cubic (fcc) structure. The FTIR spectra highlighted interactions between AgNPs and CMCS-SB, with noticeable shifts in characteristic bands. In addition, SEM and TEM images validated spherical AgNPs within the CMCS-SB hydrogel network, averaging approximately 70 and 30 nm in diameter, respectively. The nanocomposite exhibited significant antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli, with inhibition rates of 98.9 ± 0.21% and 99.2 ± 0.14%, respectively, for the 3.0 mM AgNPs/CMCS-SB nanocomposite. Moreover, cytotoxicity assays showcased the efficacy of AgNPs/CMCS-SB against human colorectal cancer cells (HCT-116 cells), with the strongest cytotoxicity (61.7 ± 4.3%) at 100 μg/mL. These results suggest the synthesized AgNPs/CMCS-SB nanocomposites possess promising attributes for various biomedical applications, including antimicrobial and anticancer activities, positioning them as compelling candidates for further advancement in biomedicine.

Abstract
Sustainable and controllable drug transport is one of the most efficient ways of disease treatment. Due to high biocompatibility, good biodegradability, and low costs, chitosan and its derivatives are widely used in biomedical fields. Specifically, chitosan hydrogel enables drugs to pass through biological barriers because of their abundant amino and hydroxyl groups that can interact with human tissues. Moreover, the multi-responsive nature (pH, temperature, ions strength, and magnetic field, etc.) of chitosan hydrogels makes precise drug release a possibility. Here, the synthesis methods, modification strategies, stimuli-responsive mechanisms of chitosan-based hydrogels, and their recent progress in drug delivery are summarized. Chitosan hydrogels that carry and release drugs through subcutaneous (dealing with wound dressing), oral (dealing with gastrointestinal tract), and facial (dealing with ophthalmic, ear, and brain) are reviewed. Finally, challenges toward clinic application and the future prospects of stimuli-responsive chitosan-based hydrogels are indicated.

Abstract
Supramolecular hydrogels emerge as a promising paradigm for sutureless wound management. However, their translation is still challenged by the insufficient mechanical robustness in the context of complex wounds in dynamic tissues. Herein, we report a tissue-adhesive supramolecular hydrogel membrane based on biocompatible precursors for dressing wounds in highly dynamic tissues, featuring robust mechanical resilience through programmable strain-adaptive entanglement among microdomains. Specifically, the hydrogels are synthesized by incorporating a long-chain polyurethane segment into a Schiff base-ligated short-chain oxidized cellulose/quaternized chitosan network via acylhydrazone bonding, which readily establishes interpenetrating entangled microdomains in dynamic cross-linked hydrogel matrices to enhance their tear and fatigue resistance against extreme mechanical stresses. After being placed onto dynamic tissues, the hydrogel dressing could efficiently absorb blood to achieve rapid hemostasis. Moreover, metal ions released from ruptured erythrocytes could be scavenged by the Schiff base linkers to form additional ionic bonds, which would trigger the cross-linking of the short-chain components and establish abundant crystalline microdomains, eventually leading to the in situ stiffening of the hydrogels to endure heavy mechanical loads. Benefiting from its hemostatic capacity and strain adaptable mechanical performance, this hydrogel wound dressing shows promise for the clinical management of various traumatic wounds.

Abstract
Wounds are one of the most common health issues, and the cost of wound care and healing has continued to increase over the past decade. In recent years, there has been growing interest in developing innovative strategies to enhance the efficacy of wound healing. Tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs) have emerged as a promising tool for wound healing applications due to their unique structural and functional properties. Therefore, it is of great significance to summarize the applications of tFNAs for wound healing. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the potential of tFNAs as a novel therapeutic approach for wound healing. In this review, we discuss the possible mechanisms of tFNAs in wound healing and highlight the role of tFNAs in modulating key processes involved in wound healing, such as cell proliferation and migration, angiogenesis, and tissue regeneration. The targeted delivery and controlled release capabilities of tFNAs offer advantages in terms of localized and sustained delivery of therapeutic agents to the wound site. In addition, the latest research progress on tFNAs in wound healing is systematically introduced. We also discuss the biocompatibility and biosafety of tFNAs, along with their potential applications and future directions for research. Finally, the current challenges and prospects of tFNAs are briefly discussed to promote wider applications.

Abstract
Bacterial infection and oxidative stress impede clinical wound healing. Herein, the plant-derived cowberry extract (CE) was first explored as a natural photothermal agent and antioxidant to deal with bacterial infection and oxidative stress. After loading in the carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCs)/oxidized dextran (Odex) hydrogel, the photothermal effect of CE was highly enhanced by CMCs. The controlled temperature induced by CE-containing hydrogel under NIR laser irradiation could rapidly (10 min) and effectively kill Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus, 99.3 %) and Escherichia coli (E. coli, 94.6 %). Besides, this hydrogel exhibited a fast gelation and hemostasis abilities, high stability, adhesion and ROS scavenging capabilities, as well as good injectability and biocompatibility. Above superior properties make this hydrogel to accelerate the wound healing in S. aureus-infected mice, and it is expected to be a potential clinical wound dressing.

Abstract
Uncontrolled hemorrhage arising from surgery or trauma may cause morbidity and even mortality. Therefore, facilitating control of severe bleeding is imperative for health care worldwide. Among diverse hemostatic materials, chitosan (CS) is becoming the most promising material owing to its non-toxic feature, as well as inherently hemostatic performance. However, further enhancing hemostatic property of CS-based materials without compromising more beneficial functions remains a challenge. In this review, representative hemostatic mechanisms of CS-based materials are firstly discussed in detail, mostly including red blood cells (RBCs) aggregation, platelet adherence and aggregation, as well as interaction with plasma proteins. Also, various forms (involving powder/particle, sponge, hydrogel, nanofiber, and other forms) of CS-based hemostatic materials are systematically summarized, mainly focusing on their design and preparation, characteristics, and comparative analysis of various forms. In addition, varied hemostatic applications are described in detail, such as skin wound hemostasis, liver hemostasis, artery hemostasis, and heart hemostasis. Finally, current challenges and future directions of functional design of CS-based hemostatic materials in diverse hemostatic applications are proposed to inspire more intensive researches.

Abstract
Recently, polymer-based tissue adhesives (TAs) have gained the attention of scientists and industries as alternatives to sutures for sealing and closing wounds or incisions because of their ease of use, low cost, minimal tissue damage, and short application time. However, poor mechanical properties and weak adhesion strength limit the application of TAs, although numerous studies have attempted to develop new TAs with enhanced performance. Therefore, next-generation TAs with improved multifunctional properties are required. In this review, we address the requirements of polymeric TAs, adhesive characteristics, adhesion strength assessment methods, adhesion mechanisms, applications, advantages and disadvantages, and commercial products of polysaccharide (PS)-based TAs, including chitosan (CS), alginate (AL), dextran (DE), and hyaluronic acid (HA). Additionally, future perspectives are discussed.

Abstract
Uncontrolled hemorrhage results in various complications and is currently the leading cause of death in the general population. Traditional hemostatic methods have drawbacks that may lead to ineffective hemostasis and even the risk of secondary injury. Therefore, there is an urgent need for more effective hemostatic techniques. Polymeric hemostatic materials, particularly hydrogels, are ideal due to their biocompatibility, flexibility, absorption, and versatility. Functional hemostatic hydrogels can enhance hemostasis by creating physical circumstances conducive to hemostasis or by directly interfering with the physiological processes of hemostasis. The procoagulant principles include increasing the concentration of localized hemostatic substances or establishing a physical barrier at the physical level and intervention in blood cells or the coagulation cascade at the physiological level. Moreover, synergistic hemostasis can combine these functions. However, some hydrogels are ineffective in promoting hemostasis or have a limited application scope. These defects have impeded the advancement of hemostatic hydrogels. To provide inspiration and resources for new designs, this review provides an overview of the procoagulant principles of hemostatic hydrogels. We also discuss the challenges in developing effective hemostatic hydrogels and provide viewpoints.

Abstract
The combinational properties with excellent mechanical properties, adhesive performance, hemostatic ability, antibacterial action, and wound healing efficacy are highly desirable for injectable hydrogels' practical applications in hemorrhage control and wound closure, but designing one single hydrogel system integrating with such properties is still difficult. Herein, a simplified yet straightforward strategy is proposed to prepare an injectable and robust poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMAA)/carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) hydrogel induced by tranexamic acid (TXA). TXA not only promotes the rapid generation of free radicals but also introduces multiple hydrogen bonds into the hydrogel network. Moreover, as a common clinical hemostatic drug, TXA itself has excellent hemostatic effects. In addition, CMCS imparts sterilization and hemostasis effects to the hydrogel, thereby promoting wound healing. Besides, the amino and carboxyl groups on TXA molecules and the hydroxyl, amino, and carboxyl groups on CMCS molecules can form multiple hydrogen bonds with wet biological tissues, leading to good wet tissue adhesion of the hydrogel. As a result, the hydrogel with excellent mechanical properties (up to 1.83 MPa at 90% compression strain), adhesion performance (up to 18.7 kPa adhesion strength to porcine skin tissue), biocompatibility, hemostatic ability, antibacterial activity, and wound healing properties can be fabricated within several minutes. These combinational advantages enable the hydrogel to efficiently stop hemorrhage (blood loss amount: 110 mg; hemostasis time: 25 s) and promote the wound healing process (wound closure rate at 2 weeks: 83%), which can be verified using rat models of liver bleeding and infected full thickness skin defect. Overall, this facile strategy to design a hydrogel incorporating such unique advantages will greatly advance the hydrogel's clinical application in rapid hemostasis and wound healing.

Abstract
The ideal hemostatic agents should be able to stop bleeding quickly and avoid secondary bleeding caused by adhesion with blood clots during dressing change. Herein, a hydrophobic electrospun nanofiber membrane was prepared for achieving hemostasis, rationally targeting both attributes, via doping N-alkylated chitosan (N-CS) grafted with octadecyl into chitosan/polyethylene oxide (PEO). In vitro and in vivo coagulation tests showed that CPNs doped with small amounts of N-CS (CPN31) could significantly shorten hemostasis time and promote the formation of more stable and stronger blood clots. In particular, the whole blood clotting time of CPN31 (58.8 ± 2.2 s) was significantly lower than that of chitosan/PEO (CPN0) nanofiber membrane (67 ± 3.5 s) and the medical sterile gauze (86.7 ± 0.6 s). Furthermore, due to the hemophobic nature of CPNs, blood wetting of the dressing was severely limited and blood can coagulated at the site of liver injury in rats, thus reducing blood loss and allowing rapid removal of the dressing without triggering secondary hemorrhage. The CPN31 exhibited excellent hemostasis properties, easy to remove, blood compatibility, biocompatibility and promoting fibroblast proliferation properties. This hydrophobic CPNs is a promising biological adhesive for hemorrhage control.

Abstract
The wound therapy based on antibiotic delivery inevitably leads to the emergence of drug resistance. Hydrogel biomaterials with inherent antibacterial activities have emerged as promising candidates for addressing this issue. However, developing an inherently antibacterial hydrogel through simple and facile strategies to promote localized wound infection healing remains a challenge. In this study, we successfully constructed antimicrobial cationic hydrogels with self-healing and injectable properties through physically and chemically dual-crosslinked networks. The networks were formed by the copolymers poly[(di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate)-co-(4-formylphenyl methacrylate)-co-(2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride solution)] (PDFM) and poly[(di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate)-co-(2-aminoethyl methacrylate hydrochloride)-co-(2-(((6-(6-methyl-4[1H]pyrimidionylureido) hexyl)carbamoyl)oxy)ethyl methacrylate)] (PDAU). The hydrogel systems effectively facilitate the regeneration and healing of infected wounds through the contact bactericidal feature of quaternary ammonium cations. The presence of Schiff base bonds in the injectable hydrogels imparts remarkable pH responsiveness and self-healing properties. In vitro experiments verified their intrinsic antibacterial activities along with their favorable cytocompatibility and hemocompatibility in both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, the hydrogel significantly accelerated the healing of bacterially infected in a full-thickness skin wound. This facilely prepared dual-crosslinked hydrogel, without antibiotics loading, holds significant prospects for treating infected wounds.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 258:128962. [PMID: 38145691 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128962] [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: 08/27/2023] [Revised: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/27/2023]
Abstract
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) contains a variety of growth factors (GFs) and has been used in the treatment of a variety of diseases, including skin lesions. In particular, PRP with low immunogenicity will be more widely used. However, the explosive release of GFs limits its further application. In order to achieve controlled release of GFs, a multifunctional and reactive oxygen species (ROS)/pH dual responsive hydrogel was developed to load PRP derived from human cord blood for the treatment of skin wound healing. Based on the hydrogen bond and Schiff base interaction, carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), oxidized dextran (Odex) and oligomeric procyanidins (OPC) were crosslinked to form CMCS/Odex/OPC/PRP hydrogel with good injectability, self-healing, adhesion, ROS scavenging, antibacterial activity, controlled and sustained release of GFs. In vitro cell experiments suggested that this hydrogel possessed excellent biocompatibility and could promote the proliferation and migration of L929. In vivo healing of full-layer skin wounds further indicated that the prepared hydrogel could regulate inflammation and promote epithelialization, collagen deposition, and angiogenesis. In summary, this present study demonstrates that CMCS/Odex/OPC/PRP hydrogel may serve as a promising multifunctional dressing for skin wound healing.

Abstract
Chitosan has been commonly used as an adhesive dressing material due to its excellent biocompatibility, degradability, and renewability. Tissue adhesives are outstanding among wound dressings because they can close the wound, absorb excess tissue exudate from the wound site, provide a moist environment, and act as a carrier for loading various bioactive molecules. They have been widely used in both preclinical and clinical treatment of skin wounds. This review summarizes recent research progresses in the application of chitosan and its derivatives for tissue adhesives. We also introduce their biomedical effects on wound adhesion, contamination isolation, antibacterial, immune regulation, and wound healing, and the strategies to achieve these functions when used as wound dressings. Finally, challenges and future perspectives of chitosan-based tissue adhesives are discussed for wound healing.

Abstract
Infected wounds pose a serious threat to public health and pose a significant challenge and financial burden worldwide. The treatment of infected wounds is now an urgent problem to be solved. Herein, mild hyperthermia-assisted hydrogels composed of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCs), oxidized dextran (Odex), epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and PtNPs@PVP (CAT-like nanoenzymes) were proposed for the repair of infected wounds. The incorporation of PtNPs@PVP nanoenzymes give the hydrogels excellent photothermal property and CAT-like activity. When the temperature is maintained at 42-45 °C under 808 nm near infrared (NIR) exposure, the CMCs/Odex/EGCG/Nanoenzymes (COEN2) hydrogel demonstrated highly enhanced antibacterial ability (95.9 % in vivo), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) scavenging ratio (85.1 % in vitro) and oxygen supply (20.7 mg/L in vitro). Furthermore, this mild-heat stimulation also promoted angiogenesis in the damaged skin area. Overall, this multifunctional hydrogel with antibacterial, antioxidant, oxygen supply, hemostasis, and angiogenesis capabilities has shown great promise in the repair of infected wounds. This study establishes the paradigm of enhanced infected wound healing by mild hyperthermia-assisted H2O2 scavenging, oxygen supplemental, and photothermal antibacterial hydrogels.

Abstract
Bioadhesives with antimicrobial properties enable easier and safer treatment of wounds as compared to the traditional methods such as suturing and stapling. Composed of natural or synthetic polymers, these bioadhesives seal wounds and facilitate healing while preventing infections through the activity of locally released antimicrobial drugs, nanocomponents, or inherently antimicrobial polers. Although many different materials and strategies are employed to develop antimicrobial bioadhesives, the design of these biomaterials necessitates a prudent approach as achieving all the required properties including optimal adhesive and cohesive properties, biocompatibility, and antimicrobial activity can be challenging. Designing antimicrobial bioadhesives with tunable physical, chemical, and biological properties will shed light on the path for future advancement of bioadhesives with antimicrobial properties. In this review, the requirements and commonly used strategies for developing bioadhesives with antimicrobial properties are discussed. In particular, different methods for their synthesis and their experimental and clinical applications on a variety of organs are reviewed. Advances in the design of bioadhesives with antimicrobial properties will pave the way for a better management of wounds to increase positive clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Uncontrollable bleeding is a crucial factor that can lead to fatality. Therefore, the development of hemostatic dressings that enable rapid hemostasis is of utmost importance. Hydrogels with injectability, self-healing ability, and adhesiveness hold significant potential as effective hemostatic dressings. Herein, a composite hydrogel was fabricated by the oxidized Konjac glucomannan and ε-polylysine. After the encapsulation of a hemostatic drug, etamsylate, an oxidized Konjac glucomannan/ε-polylysine/etamsylate (OKGM/PL/E) composite hydrogel that possesses favorable properties including injectability, self-healing ability, tissue adhesiveness, hemocompatibility and cytocompatibility was fabricated. The OKGM/PL/E hydrogel demonstrated the ability to effectively adhere red blood cells and seal wounds, enabling rapid control of hemorrhaging. In vivo wound healing experiments confirmed the hemostatic and wound healing efficacy of the OKGM/PL/E hydrogel, highlighting its potential as a valuable hemostatic dressing.

Abstract
Open abdomen (OA) is an effective method for treating critical abdominal conditions such as severe abdominal infections. The temporary abdominal closure (TAC) technique is often used to temporarily restore the physiological environment of the abdominal cavity and maintain the homeostatic balance of the abdominal cavity. However, most of the common TAC materials available today lack bio-responsiveness, tend to abrade the intestinal canal, and lead to delayed tissue healing of the wound. Hydrogels could mimic the extracellular matrix and have shown significant potential in life science fields such as tissue regeneration, wound repair, and controlled drug release. In this study, a composite hydrogel scaffold was constructed by the Schiff base reaction of oxidized pullulan polysaccharide with carboxymethyl chitosan. The hydrogel exhibited excellent self-healing, cellular biocompatibility, and antibacterial and anti-inflammatory abilities, and in experiments it reduced secondary damage caused by friction between tissue and patch, thereby preventing serious complications such as intestinal fistula, promoted M1-M2 polarization of macrophages, reduced the inflammatory response, regulated the inflammatory microenvironment in vivo, promoted angiogenesis and granulation tissue regeneration, and accelerated wound healing. Therefore, our hydrogel provides a new strategy for material-assisted wound protection during OA and has potential clinical applications.

Abstract
Novel transplantation techniques are currently under development to preserve the function of impaired tissues or organs. While current technologies can enhance the survival of recipients, they have remained elusive to date due to graft rejection by undesired in vivo immune responses despite systemic prescription of immunosuppressants. The need for life-long immunomodulation and serious adverse effects of current medicines, the development of novel biomaterial-based immunoengineering strategies has attracted much attention lately. Immunomodulatory 3D platforms can alter immune responses locally and/or prevent transplant rejection through the protection of the graft from the attack of immune system. These new approaches aim to overcome the complexity of the long-term administration of systemic immunosuppressants, including the risks of infection, cancer incidence, and systemic toxicity. In addition, they can decrease the effective dose of the delivered drugs via direct delivery at the transplantation site. In this review, we comprehensively address the immune rejection mechanisms, followed by recent developments in biomaterial-based immunoengineering strategies to prolong transplant survival. We also compare the efficacy and safety of these new platforms with conventional agents. Finally, challenges and barriers for the clinical translation of the biomaterial-based immunoengineering transplants and prospects are discussed.

Abstract
The wet environment of water or tissue in bleeding wounds poses significant challenges to the adhesion performance of existing hemostatic adhesives. An intelligent composite adhesive prepared by doping starch-based silicate micro-nanograded porous particles (MBC@CMS) with dopamine-hyperbranched polymers (HPD, 7800 Mw) synthesized by the Michael addition reaction could be triggered by water to form a glue (MBC@CMS-HPD). The results indicated that MBC@CMS-HPD could still have adhesion properties under running water washing and water immersion and could effectively seal the water outlet. The results of the glue-forming mechanism showed that MBC@CMS-HPD had better wettability than water, which could eliminate water molecules at the wet adhesive surface. When contacted with water, the agglomeration of the HPD hydrophobic chain increases the exposure of the catechol group, and the relative atomic mass of the N element on the surface increases from 2.8 to 4.8%. The adhesion of MBC@CMS-HPD was enhanced and stable. MBC@CMS-HPD showed significant hemostasis effects in five injury bleeding models of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and New Zealand rabbits. Especially in the fatal femoral artery bleeding model of New Zealand rabbits, MBC@CMS-HPD reduced the amount of bleeding by 75% and shortened the bleeding time by 78% compared with the a-cyanoacrylate adhesives. The results of the coagulation mechanism showed that compared with HPD, MBC@CMS-HPD could activate both endogenous and exogenous coagulation pathways. Among them, after contact with blood, HPD formed a gel to close the blood outlet, and MBC@CMS entered the wound to activate the internal and external coagulation pathways. In addition, HPD and MBC@CMS had good histocompatibility and degradability, which has the potential to be applied to different wounds.

Multifunctional chondroitin sulfate based hydrogels for promoting infected diabetic wounds healing by chemo-photothermal antibacterial and cytokine modulation. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 314:120937. [PMID: 37173033 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.120937] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2023] [Revised: 04/17/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
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
Hydrogels are essential biomaterials due to their favorable biocompatibility, mechanical properties similar to human soft tissue extracellular matrix, and tissue repair properties. In skin wound repair, hydrogels with antibacterial functions are especially suitable for dressing applications, so novel antibacterial hydrogel wound dressings have attracted widespread attention, including the design of components, optimization of preparation methods, strategies to reduce bacterial resistance, etc. In this review, we discuss the fabrication of antibacterial hydrogel wound dressings and the challenges associated with the crosslinking methods and chemistry of the materials. We have investigated the advantages and limitations (antibacterial effects and antibacterial mechanisms) of different antibacterial components in the hydrogels to achieve good antibacterial properties, and the response of hydrogels to stimuli such as light, sound, and electricity to reduce bacterial resistance. Conclusively, we provide a systematic summary of antibacterial hydrogel wound dressings findings (crosslinking methods, antibacterial components, antibacterial methods) and an outlook on long-lasting antibacterial effects, a broader antibacterial spectrum, diversified hydrogel forms, and the future development prospects of the field.

Abstract
The utilization of microcarriers is an effective technique to protect and slow down the release of active ingredients, while the combination of microcarriers and film materials is an important way to expand the application scenario of active ingredients. The aim of this study was to develop a simple and facile strategy for designing a multifunctional bilayer bioactive film that combines stable mechanical properties, sustained-release characteristics for active ingredients with good antioxidant and antibacterial properties. The EGCG-loaded chitosan active microspheres were prepared by sol-gel method, and then the carboxymethyl cellulose solution containing the active microspheres was assembled onto the carboxymethyl chitosan gel substrate based on intermolecular hydrogen bonding to construct a film with a stable bilayer structure. The results indicated that the bilayer film had dense microstructure and excellent mechanical strength (37.05 MPa), and exhibited UV-blocking properties and excellent gas barrier performance. Meanwhile, the loading of active ingredients (EGCG) in the microspheres enabled the bilayer film to exhibit excellent antioxidant and antibacterial properties, and the controlled release of EGCG by the film was sustainable and showed pH responsiveness. The results of this work provide a new perspective for the design and development of bio-based active packaging film with tunable functional characteristics.
