Abstract
In emergencies, uncontrolled severe bleeding can result in undesired complications and even death of the injured. Designing advanced hemostatic agents is a potential solution for emergency hemostasis, yet it remains challenging to realize the persistent adhesion in a wet wound environment. In this study, based on dynamic reversible Schiff base bond and photo-initiated double-bond polymerization, a novel injectable hemostatic hydrogel (L-COC) consisting of methacrylated carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCSMA), oxidized konjac glucomannan (OKGM) and (+)-catechin hydrate (CH) was synthesized for emergency hemostasis. To our delight, the incorporated CH imparted enhanced blood procoagulantion to the L-COC hydrogel by intensifying the hydrogel-red blood cell interactions. As a result, the hemostatic effect of the engineered L-COC hydrogel was significantly superior to that of fluid gelatin SurgifloTM for liver bleeding wounds in rats (Blood loss: 0.62 ± 0.11 g (L-COC), 0.90 ± 0.08 g (SurgifloTM); hemostasis time: 69.0 ± 2.9 s (L-COC), 84.0 ± 2.2 s (SurgifloTM)). With the favorable antioxidant and antibacterial activities, as well as multifunctional properties, the bio-adhesive L-COC hydrogel and the underlying design principles may facilitate further development of practical hemostatic hydrogels.

Abstract
Mixed infectious vaginitis poses a serious threat to female reproductive health due to complex pathogenic factors, a long course and easy recurrence. Currently, antibiotic-based treatment methods are facing a crisis of drug resistance and secondary dysbiosis. Exploring effective drugs for the treatment of mixed vaginitis from Paeonia suffruticosa Andr., a natural traditional Chinese medicine with a long history of medicinal use, is a feasible treatment strategy. P. suffruticosa Andr. leaf extract (PLE) has significant anti-bacterial effects due to its rich content of polyphenols and flavonoids. The polyphenols in peony leaves have the potential to make carboxymethyl chitosan form in situ gel. In the current study, PLE and carboxymethyl chitosan were combined to develop another type of natural anti-bacterial anti-oxidant hydrogel for the treatment of mixed infectious vaginitis. Through a series of characterisations, CP had a three-dimensional network porous structure with good mechanical properties, high water absorption, long retention and a slow-release drug effect. The mixed infectious vaginitis mouse model induced by a mixture of pathogenic bacteria was used to investigate the therapeutic effects of CP in vivo. The appearance of the vagina, H&E colouring of the tissue and inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-6) confirm the good anti-vaginal effect of CP. Therefore, CP was expected to become an ideal effective strategy to improve mixed infection vaginitis due to its excellent hydrogel performance and remarkable ability to regulate flora.

Abstract
The use of facile methods to synthesize environmentally friendly and multifunctional hydrogel dressings is still a major challenge in development. Herein, Turkish gall extract (TGE) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) were combined and sprayed using a dual syringe to form a multifunctional TGE-CMCS hydrogel (TC gel) in one step through abundant hydrogen bonding between functional groups as a green approach. TC gel showed rapid gelation at 19.0 ± 2.9 s. Apart from the advantage of being able to adapt to different wound shapes, TC gel retained the antioxidant, antibacterial, hemostatic and anti-inflammatory properties of TGE. In vitro antibacterial experiments showed that TC-gel eliminated 98.27 ± 0.79 % of Staphylococcus aureus and 98.87 ± 1.08 % of Escherichia coli. Compared with TGE or CMCS alone, TC gel accelerates skin wound healing due to its three-dimensional network structure and continuous release of active components at the wound site, enhancing re-epithelialization, improving collagen deposition, and increasing angiogenesis. The wound healing rate of full-thickness skin defect rats treated with TC gel was 93.98 ± 0.63 % on the 10th day. These results suggest that TC gel combined with a facile and scalable manufacturing method is a promising multifunctional wound dressing for clinical wound management.

Abstract
Given the widespread clinical demand, addressing irregular cranial bone defects poses a significant challenge following surgical procedures and traumatic events. In situ-formed injectable hydrogels are attractive for irregular bone defects due to their ease of administration and the ability to incorporate ceramics, ions, and proteins into the hydrogel. In this study, a multifunctional hydrogel composed of oxidized sodium alginate (OSA)-grafted dopamine (DO), carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), calcium ions (Ca2+), nanohydroxyapatite (nHA), and magnesium oxide (MgO) (DOCMCHM) was prepared to address irregular cranial bone defects via dynamic Schiff base and chelation reactions. DOCMCHM hydrogel exhibits strong adhesion to wet tissues, self-healing properties, and antibacterial characteristics. Biological evaluations indicate that DOCMCHM hydrogel has good biocompatibility, in vivo degradability, and the ability to promote cell proliferation. Importantly, DOCMCHM hydrogel, containing MgO, promotes the expression of osteogenic protein markers COL-1, OCN, and RUNX2, and stimulates the formation of new blood vessels by upregulating CD31. This study could provide meaningful insights into ion therapy for the repair of cranial bone defects.

Abstract
Hydrogels based on biopolymers have attracted considerable interest in the last decades. Herein, an interpenetrating network hydrogel (IPN-Gel) adsorbent from starch-chitosan was fabricated facilely in one-pot through tandem Schiff base reaction and photopolymerization. First, aldehyde starch (DAS) was synthesized by the reaction of soluble starch with sodium periodate. Afterward, acrylamide (AM), 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS), polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate (PEGDMA), photoinitiator, chitosan and DAS were dissolved in water to obtain a clear solution. Schiff base reaction between chitosan and DAS took place quickly to form the first network, and then photopolymerization of AM, AMPS, and PEGDMA occurred under ultraviolet radiation to form the second network. The preparation conditions of the as-prepared IPN-Gel were optimized with two indexes of gel mass fraction and swelling ratio. Its swelling behavior with pH and temperature change was explored. Finally, its adsorption performance was characterized with methylene blue (MB) as a model contaminant. The maximum adsorption capacity of IPN-Gel can reach 2039 mg·g-1 at pH =10. Its adsorption performance accords with Langmuir isothermal model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model and it was mainly controlled by chemisorption. This strategy is expected to found broad application prospects in the preparation of hydrogel adsorbents.

Abstract
Wound dressing diligently facilitate healing by fostering hemostasis, immunoregulation, the angiogenesis, and collagen deposition. Our methodology entails fabricating chitosan-taurine nanoparticles (CS-Tau) through an ionic gelation method. The morphology of CS-Tau was observed utilizing Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS). The nanoparticles are subsequently incorporated into carboxymethyl chitosan hydrogels for crosslinking by EDC-NHS, yielding hydrogel dressings (CMCS-CS-Tau) designed to extend the duration of taurine release. In vitro investigations confirmed that these innovative compound dressings displayed superior biodegradation, biocompatibility, cytocompatibility, and non-toxicity, in addition to possessing anti-inflammatory properties, and stimulating the proliferation and mobility of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Experiments conducted on mice models with full-thickness skin removal demonstrated that CMCS-CS-Tau efficaciously aided in wound healing by spurring angiogenesis, and encouraging collagen deposition. CMCS-CS-Tau can also minimize inflammation and promote collagen deposition in chronic diabetic wound. Hence, CMCS-CS-Tau promotes both acute and chronic diabetic wound healing. Furthermore, the sustained release mechanism of CMCS-CS-Tau on taurine reveals promising potential for extending its clinical utility in relation to various biological effects of taurine.

Abstract
Collagen (COL) is the most widespread functional protein. Designing and developing dual-dynamic-bond cross-linked COL adhesive hydrogel sealants with multifunctional is highly advantageous for achieving a superior wound closure effect and hemostasis. In this study, we developed hybrid hydrogels consisting of fish-skin COL, oxidized sodium alginate (OSA), borax and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to enhance full-thickness wound healing. The hydrogels were furnished with first-rate self-healing capabilities through the dual-dynamic-bond cross-linking of dynamic Schiff base bonds (COL-OSA) and diol boric acid bonds (OSA-borax) with reversible breakage and re-formation. Moreover, the incorporation of PVA stimulated the formation of hydrogen bonds in the system, bolstering the stability of the hydrogel framework. The prepared hydrogel manifests self-healing, injectability, multifunctional adhesiveness and biodegradability. In vivo assessment of the hemostatic capacity of COSP20 hydrogel was superior to gauze both in the mice liver injury model and mice tail amputation model. In addition, a full-thickness skin wound model in mice revealed that the COSP20 hydrogel facilitated faster wound closure by accelerating reepithelialization, COL deposition and angiogenesis. These findings illustrate the potential of hybrid fish-skin COL-based hydrogels to enhance wound healing and promote rapid tissue repair, and provide new possibilities for the effective utilization of marine fishery resources.

Abstract
Wound infection is a predominant etiological factor contributing to delayed wound healing in open wounds. Hence, it holds paramount clinical significance to devise wound dressings endowed with superior antibacterial properties. In this study, a Schiff base-crosslinked aerogel comprising sodium alginate oxide (OSA), carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), and Nb2C@Ag/PDA (NAP) was developed. The resultant OSA/CMCS-Nb2C@Ag/PDA (OC/NAP) composite aerogel exhibited commendable attributes including exceptional swelling characteristics, porosity, biocompatibility, and sustained antimicrobial efficacy. In vitro antimicrobial assays unequivocally demonstrated that the OC/NAP composite aerogel maintained nearly 100 % inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli under an 808 nm laser even after 25 h. Crucially, the outcomes of in vivo infected wound healing experiments demonstrated that the wound healing rate of the OC/NAP composite aerogel group reached approximately 100 % within a span of 14 days, which was significantly greater than that of the blank control group. In vitro and in vivo hemostatic experiments also revealed that the composite aerogel had excellent hemostatic properties. The results of this study demonstrate the remarkable potential of OC/NAP aerogel as a multifunctional clinical wound dressing, especially for infected wounds.

Abstract
Stem cell exosomes (Exo) play an important role in the transformation of macrophages, but the rapid clearance of Exo in vivo limits their therapeutic effects for chronic inflammation wounds healing. Here, stem cell Exo was isolated and introduced to a composite hydrogel including carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) and oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA) through chemical cross-linking, which formed an Exo-loaded (CMCS/OHA/Exo) hydrogel. The CMCS/OHA/Exo hydrogel exhibited a function of Exo sustained release and an Exo protection within 6 days. This CMCS/OHA/Exo hydrogel was much better than CMCS/OHA hydrogel or Exo solution in macrophage cell phagocytosis, proliferation and migration in vitro, especially, played an obviously positive role in the transformation of macrophages compared with the reference groups. For the treatment of the chronic inflammation wounds in vivo, the CMCS/OHA/Exo hydrogel had the best results at wound heal rate and inhibiting the secretion of inflammatory factors, and it was far superior to reference groups in wound re-epithelization and collagen production. CMCS/OHA/Exo hydrogels can promote Exo release based on hydrogel degradation to regulate macrophages transformation and accelerate chronic wound healing. The study offers a method for preparing Exo-loaded hydrogels that effectively promote the transformation of macrophages and accelerate chronic inflammatory wound healing.

An Injectable Composite Hydrogel of Verteporfin-Bonded Carboxymethyl Chitosan and Oxidized Sodium Alginate Facilitates Scarless Full-Thickness Skin Regeneration. Macromol Biosci 2024; 24:e2300165.

Abstract
Full-thickness skin defect has always been a major challenge in clinics due to fibrous hyperplasia in the repair process. Hydrogel composite dressings loaded with anti-fibrotic drugs have been considered as a promising strategy for scarless skin regeneration. In this work, a hydrogel composite (VP-CMCS-OSA) of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) and oxidized sodium alginate (OSA), with loading anti-fibrotic drug verteporfin (VP), is developed based on two-step chemical reactions. Verteporfin is bonded with carboxymethyl chitosan through EDC/NHS treatment to form VP-CMCS, and then VP-CMCS is crosslinked with oxidized sodium alginate by Schiff base reaction to form VP-CMCS-OSA hydrogel. The characterization by SEM, FTIR, and UV-Vis shows the microstructure and chemical bonding of VP-CMCS-OSA. VP-CMCS-OSA hydrogel demonstrates the properties of high tissue adhesion, strong self-healing, and tensile ability. In the full-thickness skin defect model, the VP-CMCS-OSA composite hydrogels hasten wound healing due to the synergistic effects of hydrogels and verteporfin administration. The histological examination reveals the regular collagen arrangement and more skin appendages after VP-CMCS-OSA composite hydrogel treatment, indicating the full-thickness skin regeneration without potential scar formation. The outcomes suggest that the verteporfin-loaded composite hydrogel could be a potential method for scarless skin regeneration.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to enhance the convenience and effectiveness of diabetes treatment by developing hydrogel microparticles as an oral insulin delivery system, aiming to reduce the necessity for frequent treatments. The hydrogel microparticles were prepared with polysaccharides through a combination of physical and chemical crosslinking method, they achieved good results in insulin loading efficiency (70 %), insulin release efficiency (98 %) and sustained release time (>20 h). The effective transmembrane transport was validated using an intestinal epithelial cell model, which demonstrated a continuous hypoglycemic effect lasting from 6 to 26 h in a type 2 diabetes mouse model. Additionally, the relative bioavailability of insulin reached 30.14 ± 2.62 %, representing a significant breakthrough in the field of oral insulin delivery carriers. Furthermore, oral insulin hydrogel exhibited a substantial improvement in insulin resistance, organ damage, and diabetes-related complications stemming from hyperglycemia. These compelling findings underscore the potential of hydrogel microparticles as a cost-effective and valuable strategy for oral drug delivery in diabetes treatment.

Abstract
Favorable hydrogels can be used as a material to deliver bioactive molecules and improve the stability of bioactive substances, while their safety needs to be improved. In this study, protocatechuic acid (PCA) and Fe3+ were rapidly self-assembled to form a metal-phenolic network under different pH conditions, and then sodium alginate (SA) was added to prepare the SA/PCA/Fe hydrogel without adding other chemical reagents. The structural characteristic of SA/PCA/Fe hydrogel was characterized by infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the structures of SA/PCA/Fe hydrogels prepared at different pH values were significantly different. The texture analysis, water-holding measurement and rheological analysis indicated that the SA/PCA/Fe hydrogel showed higher gel strength, water holding capacity and storage modulus. Thermogravimetric analysis illuminated that the SA/PCA/Fe hydrogel enhanced the thermal stability of free anthocyanins through encapsulating anthocyanins. Moreover, in vitro simulated digestion experiment revealed that SA/PCA/Fe hydrogel could control the release of anthocyanins in the simulated gastrointestinal tract. To sum up, this present study might provide a safer and feasible way for the delivery of bioactive substances.

Abstract
Bacterial infection is one of the most critical obstacles in wound healing, and severe bacterial infections can lead to inflammatory conditions and delay the healing process. Herein, a novel hydrogel based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), agar, and silk-AgNPs was prepared using a straightforward one-pot physical cross-linking method. The in situ synthesis of AgNPs in hydrogels exploited the reducibility of tyrosine (Tyr tyrosine) in silk fibroin, which endowed the hydrogels with outstanding antibacterial qualities. In addition, the strong hydrogen bond cross-linked networks of agar and the crystallites formed by PVA as the physical cross-linked double network of the hydrogel gave it excellent mechanical stability. The PVA/agar/SF-AgNPs (PASA) hydrogels exhibited excellent water absorption, porosity, and significant antibacterial effects against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Furthermore, in vivo experimental results confirmed that the PASA hydrogel significantly promoted wound repair and skin tissue reconstruction by reducing inflammation and promoting collagen deposition. Immunofluorescence staining showed that the PASA hydrogel enhanced CD31 expression to promote angiogenesis while decreasing CD68 expression to reduce inflammation. Overall, the novel PASA hydrogel showed great potential for bacterial infection wound management.

Abstract
Suppressing persistent multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections and excessive inflammation is the key for treating chronic wounds. Therefore, developing a microenvironment-responsive material with good biodegradability, drug-loading, anti-infection, and anti-inflammatory properties is desired to boost the chronic wounds healing process; however, using ordinary assembly remains a defect. Herein, we propose a pH/enzyme dual-responsive polymyxin B (PMB) spatiotemporal-release hydrogel (GelMA/OSSA/PMB), namely, the amount of OSSA and PMB released from GelMA/OSSA/PMB was closely related the wound pH and the enzyme concentration changing. The GelMA/OSSA/PMB showed better biosafety than equivalent free PMB, owing to the controlled release of PMB, which helped kill planktonic bacteria and inhibit biofilm activity in vitro. In addition, the GelMA/OSSA/PMB exhibited excellent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. A MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa caused infection was effectively resolved by the GelMA/OSSA/PMB hydrogel in vivo, thereby significantly boosting wound closure during the inflammatory phase. Furthermore, GelMA/OSSA/PMB accelerated the sequential phases of wound repair.

Abstract
Biomass-based aerogels for oil spill cleanup have attracted tremendous research interests due to their feasibility in oil-water separation. However, the cumbersome preparation process and toxic cross-linking agents hinder their application. In this work, a facile and novel method to prepare hydrophobic aerogels is reported for the first time. Da-β-CD/CMCS aerogel (DCA), Da-β-CD/CMCS/PVA aerogel (DCPA), and hydrophobic Da-β-CD/CMCS/PVA aerogel (HDCPA) were successfully synthesized via the Schiff base reaction between carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) and dialdehyde β-cyclodextrin (Da-β-CD). Meanwhile, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) acted as reinforcement and hydrophobic modification was conducted via chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The structure, mechanical properties, hydrophobic behaviors and absorption performance of aerogels were comprehensively characterized. The results indicated that the DCPA containing 7 % PVA exhibited excellent compressibility and elasticity even at a compressive strain of ε = 60 %, however, the DCA without PVA showed incompressibility, suggesting that the important role played by PVA in improving compressibility. Moreover, HDCPA possessed excellent hydrophobicity (water contact angle up to 148.4°), which could be well maintained after experiencing wear and corrosion in harsh environments. HDCPA also possesses high absorption capacities (24.4-56.5 g/g) towards different oils with satisfied recyclability. These advantages endow HDCPA with great potential and application prospects in offshore oil spill cleanup.

Abstract
The conventional method of using montmorillonite hemostatic materials affects the hemostatic effect due to easy dislodgement on the wound surface. In this paper, a multifunctional bio-hemostatic hydrogel (CODM) was prepared based on hydrogen bonding and Schiff base bonding using modified alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and carboxymethyl chitosan. The amino group-modified montmorillonite was uniformly dispersed in the hydrogel by its amido bond formation with the carboxyl groups of carboxymethyl chitosan and oxidized alginate. The catechol group, -CHO, and PVP can form hydrogen bonds with the tissue surface to afford the firm tissue adhesion to afford the wound hemostatic. The addition of montmorillonite-NH2 further improves the hemostatic ability, making it even better than commercial hemostatic materials. Moreover, the photothermal conversion ability (derived from the polydopamine) was synergized with the phenolic hydroxyl group, quinone group, and the protonated amino group to effectively kill the bacteria in vitro and in vivo. Based on its in vitro and in vivo biosafety and satisfactory degradation ratio anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and hemostatic properties, the CODM hydrogel holds promising potential for emergency hemostasis and intelligent wound management.

Abstract
The superiority of self-healing hydrogel systems with dynamic covalent chemistry is the ability to establish the gel network structure despite changes in ambient conditions such as pH, temperature, and ion concentrations. The Schiff base reaction, which occurs through aldehyde and amine groups, allows dynamic covalent bonds at physiological pH and temperature. In this study, gelation kinetics between glycerol multi-aldehyde (GMA) and water-soluble form of chitosan, carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), has been investigated, and the self-healing ability has been evaluated in detail. Macroscopic and electron microscope-based visual inspection and rheological tests showed that the hydrogels exhibit the highest self-healing capacity at 3-4 % CMCS and 0.5-1 % GMA concentrations. Hydrogel samples were subjected to alternating high and low strains to deteriorate and rebuild the elastic network structure. The results showed that hydrogels could restore their physical integrity after applying 200 % strains. In addition, direct cell encapsulation and double staining tests showed that the samples do not possess any acute cytotoxicity on mammalian cells; hence, hydrogels could potentially be used in tissue engineering applications for soft tissues.

Abstract
Malignant tumors have emerged as a serious health issue, and the interest in developing pH-sensitive polymers for site-specific drug delivery has increased. The physical and/or chemical properties of pH-sensitive polymers depend on the pH, and thus, drugs can be released by cleaving dynamic covalent and/or noncovalent bonds. In this study, gallic acid (GA) was conjugated to chitosan (CS) to prepare self-crosslinked hydrogel beads containing Schiff base (imine bond) crosslinks. The CS-GA hydrogel beads were formed by the dropwise addition of the CS-GA conjugate solution into a Tris-HCl buffer solution (TBS, pH 8.5). The pH-sensitivity of pristine CS was significantly enhanced following the introduction of GA moiety, and as a result, the CS-GA hydrogel beads swelled more than approximately 5000 % at pH 4.0, indicating an excellent swelling/deswelling ability of the beads at different pH (pH 4.0 and 8.5). The reversible breakage/recovery of the imine crosslinks in the CS-GA hydrogel beads was confirmed through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic and rheological studies. Finally, Rhodamine B was loaded onto the hydrogel beads as a model drug to investigate the pH-sensitive drug release behavior. At pH 4, the drug was released up to approximately 83 % within 12 h. The findings indicate that the CS-GA hydrogel beads have great potential as a drug delivery system that is sensitive to acidic tumor sites in the body.
