Abstract
Hemostasis is the first step of emergency medical treatment. It is particularly important to develop rapid-acting and efficacious hemostatic materials. Carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), sodium alginate (SA) and Resina Draconis (RD) were composited uniformly by polyelectrolyte blending. Their composite sponges (CMCS/SA/RD) were prepared by freeze-induced phase separation. CMCS/SA/RD sponges were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, and their blood absorption and hemolysis ratio were analyzed. The hemostatic effect of the composite sponges was evaluated by coagulation in vitro and in vivo. The composite sponges had a porous network structure. The water absorption ratio was >8000 %, and hemolysis ratio was <5 %. CMCS/SA/RD-II and CMCS/SA/RD-III composite sponges shortened the coagulation time in vitro by 11.33 s and 9.66 s, the hepatic hemostasis time by 13.8 % and 23.3 %, and the hemostasis time after mouse-tail amputation by 28.9 % and 23.9 %, respectively. A preliminary study on its coagulation mechanism showed that CMCS/SA/RD had significant effects on erythrocyte adsorption, platelet adhesion, and shortening of the activated partial thromboplastin time.

Abstract
Wound management has always been a significant concern, particularly for men, and the search for effective wound dressings has led to the emergence of hydrogels as a promising solution. In recent years, hydrogels, with their unique properties, have gained considerable importance in wound management. Among the various types of hydrogels, those incorporating chitosan and alginate, two distinct chemical materials, have shown potential in accelerating wound healing. This review aims to discuss the desirable characteristics of an effective wound dressing, explore the alginate/chitosan-based hydrogels developed by different researchers, and analyze their effects on wound healing through in vitro and in vivo assessments. In vitro tests encompass a wide range of evaluations, including swelling capacity, degradation rate, porosity, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, moisture vapor transmission rate, release studies, mechanical properties, microscopic observation, antibacterial properties, compatibility assessment, cell adhesion investigation, blood clotting capability, cell migration analysis, water contact angle determination, and structural stability. Furthermore, in vivo assessments encompass the examination of wound closure rate, modulation of gene expression, as well as histopathological and immunohistochemical studies.

Abstract
Our study aimed to introduce a novel double-cross-linked and thermoresponsive hydrogel with remarkable potential for accelerating third-degree burn wound healing. Burn injuries are recognized as challenging, critical wounds. Especially in third-degree burns, treatment is demanding due to extended wounds, irregular shapes, significant exudation, and intense pain during dressing changes. In this work, hydrogels made of zwitterionic chitosan and dialdehyde starch (ZCS and ZDAS) were created to deliver silymarine (SM) and levofloxacin (LEV). The hydrogels were effortlessly produced using dynamic Schiff base linkages and ionic interactions between ZCS and ZDAS at appropriate times. The pore uniformity, gel fraction, and commendable swelling properties can imply a suitable degree of Schiff base cross-link. The hydrogel demonstrated outstanding shape retention, and significant self-healing and flexibility abilities, enabling it to uphold its form even during bodily movements. After injecting biocompatible hydrogel on the wound, a notable acceleration in wound closure was observed on day 21 (98.1 ± 1.10 %) compared to the control group (75.1 ± 6.13 %), and histopathological analysis revealed a reduction of inflammation that can be linked to remarkable antioxidant and antibiotic properties. The results demonstrate the hydrogel's efficacy in promoting burn wound healing, making it a promising candidate for medical applications.

Abstract
The diagnosis and prognosis of chronic wounds are demanding and require objective assessment. Because of their potential medicinal applications, the syntheses of biopolymeric chitosan (CHN) structure and PVA-based mixed electrospun nanofibers with biomimetic features were thoroughly investigated. This study created different formulas, including a guest molecule and capping agent, using supporting PVA as a vehicle. CHN was used as a biomodifier, and beta-cyclodextrin (ß-CD) as a smoother and more efficiently entraps streptomycin (STP) compared with the silver sheet wound dressing. The relevant analyses showed that the size distribution increased with the incorporation of PVA, CHN, and ß-CD to 120.3, 161.9, and 192.02 nm. The webs boosted particle size and released content stability to 96.4% without compromising the nanofiber structure. Examining the synergistic effects of the PVA/CHN/STP/ß-CD nanoformulation against pathogenic strains of S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and Aspergillus niger, clean zones were 47 ± 3.4, 45 ± 3.0, and 49 ± 3.7 mm were produced. PVA/CHN/STP/ß-CD formula exhibited a 98.9 ± 0.6% cell viability and wound closure of 100% at 72 h. The results reveal that the PVA/CHN/STP/ß-CD formula is promising for medical applications, especially in wound healing, compared with the silver sheet.

Abstract
The skin is subject to damage from the surrounding environment. The repair of skin wounds can be very challenging due to several factors such as severe injuries, concomitant infections, or comorbidities such as diabetes. Different drugs and wound dressings have been used to treat skin wounds. Tissue engineering, a novel therapeutic approach, revolutionized the treatment and regeneration of challenging tissue damage. This field includes the use of synthetic and natural biomaterials that support the growth of tissues or organs outside the body. Accordingly, the demand for polymer-based therapeutic strategies for skin tissue defects is significantly increasing. Among the various 3D scaffolds used in tissue engineering, hydrogel scaffolds have gained special significance due to their unique properties such as natural mimicry of the extracellular matrix (ECM), moisture retention, porosity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and biocompatibility properties. First, this article delineates the process of wound healing and conventional methods of treating wounds. It then presents an examination of the structure and manufacturing methods of hydrogels, followed by an analysis of their crucial characteristics in healing skin wounds and the most recent advancements in using hydrogel dressings for this purpose. Finally, it discusses the potential future advancements in hydrogel materials within the realm of wound healing.

Abstract
Recently, injectable dual-crosslinked (DC) hydrogel scaffolds have attracted many attentions as a class of excellent bone regeneration biomaterials with in-situ tunable functions. However, the design of injectable DC hydrogels with cell behavior-compatible network structure and mechanical property remains a bottleneck. Herein, based on the in-situ gelling method, we constructed an injectable CMCS/PEG+SA/CaCl2 (CPSC) chemical/physical DC hydrogel scaffold with tunable softness/hardness mechanical properties and good biocompatibility. The formation mechanism and properties of the CPSC hydrogel scaffold were investigated by FTIR, XRD, rheometry, and mechanical testing. It is found that proper softness/hardness mechanical properties can be obtained by adjusting the secondary network structure of the hydrogel. The CPSC hydrogel scaffold prepared under optimal conditions can effectively promote cell infiltration, nutrient transport, and the osteogenic differentiation of rat bone mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs). The in vivo experiments show that the rBMSCs-loaded injectable CPSC hydrogels with appropriate mechanical properties can effectively promote bone reconstruction. This study has provided important guidance for the construction of injectable DC hydrogels with adjustable softness/hardness to promote osteogenesis for bone defect repair.

Abstract
Hydrogels based on chitosan or alginate biopolymers are believed to be desirable for covering skin lesions. In this research, we explored the potential of a new composite hydrogels series of sodium alginate (Alg) filled with cross-linked chitosan to use as hydrogel wound dressings. Cross-linked chitosan (CSPN) was synthesized by Schiff-base reaction with aldehydated cyclophosphazene, and its Cu(II) complex was manufactured and identified. Then, their powder suspension and Alg were transformed into hydrogel via ion-crosslinking with Ca2+. The hydrogel constituents were investigated by using FTIR, XRD, rheological techniques, and thermal analysis including TGA (DTG) and DSC. Moreover, structure optimization calculations were performed with the Material Studio 2017 program based on DFT-D per Dmol3 module. Examination of Alg's interactions with CSPN and CSPN-Cu using this module demonstrated that Alg molecules can be well adsorbed to the particle's surface. By changing the dosage of CSPN and CSPN-Cu, the number and size of pores, swelling rate, degradation behavior, protein absorption rate, cytotoxicity and blood compatibility were changed significantly. Subsequently, we employed erythromycin as a model drug to assess the entrapment efficiency, loading capacity, and drug release rate. FITC staining was selected to verify the hydrogels' intracellular uptake. Assuring the cytocompatibility of Alg-based hydrogels was approved by assessing the survival rate of fibroblast cells using MTT assay. However, the presence of Cu(II) in the developed hydrogels caused a significant antibacterial effect, which was comparable to the antibiotic-containing hydrogels. Our findings predict these porous, biodegradable, and mechanically stable hydrogels potentially have a promising future in the wound healing as antibiotic-free antibacterial dressings.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses (BGs) are widely used in orthopedic and dental applications for their ability to stimulate endogenous bone formation and regeneration. BG applications more recently broadened to include soft tissue conditions, based on their ability to stimulate angiogenesis, soft tissue regeneration, and wound healing. Sol-gel synthesis has helped facilitate this expansion, allowing formulators to tailor the morphological characteristics of the BG matrix. The effectiveness of BGs in skin wound healing is viewed as a gateway for their use as both a therapeutic and drug delivery platform in other soft tissue applications, notably gastrointestinal (GI) applications, which form the focus of this review. Recent changes in international guidelines for GI conditions shifted clinical objectives from symptom management to mucosal wound healing. The additional scrutiny of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) safety, increasing burden of disease, and financial costs associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease (PUD), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) open new clinical possibilities for BG. This narrative literature review intersects materials engineering, formulation science, and clinical practice, setting it apart from prior literature. Broadly, current evidence for BG applications in GI conditions is sparse and under-developed, which this review directly addresses. It explores and synthesizes evidence that supports the potential use of sol-gel-derived BG for the efficacious treatment of soft tissue applications, with specific reference to GI conditions. An overview with comparative analysis of current BG synthesis techniques and associated challenges is presented, and influences of composition, biologically active ions, and morphological characteristics in soft tissue applications are explored. To contextualize this, sol-gel-derived BGs are proposed as a dual, tailorable therapeutic and drug delivery platform for upper and lower GI conditions. Future directions for this largely untapped area of translational research are also proposed, based on extant literature.

Abstract
Bacterial infection and the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria have decreased the effectiveness of traditional antibiotic treatments for wound healing. The design of a multifunctional adhesive hydrogel with antibacterial activity, self-healing properties, and on-demand removability to promote wound healing is highly desirable. In this work, a photothermal cyclodextrin with a NO-releasing moiety has been incorporated within an oxidized sodium alginate conjugated polyacrylamide (OS@PA) hydrogel to get a photothermal NO-releasing GSNOCD-OS@PA hydrogel. Such a multifunctional hydrogel has the unique feature of combined antibacterial activity as a result of a controlled photothermal effect and NO gas release under an 808 near-infrared laser. Because of oxidized sodium alginate (OSA), the hydrogel matrix easily adheres to the skin under twisted and bent states. In vitro cytotoxicity analysis against 3T3 cells showed that the hydrogels OS@PA and GSNOCD-OS@PA are noncytotoxic under laser exposure. The temperature-induced NO release by GSNOCD-OS@PA reached 31.7 mg/L when irradiated with an 808 nm laser for 10 min. The combined photothermal therapy and NO release from GSNOCD-OS@PA effectively reduced viability of both Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive) and Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) to 3 and 5%, respectively. Importantly, the phototherapeutic NO-releasing platform displayed effective fibroblast proliferation in a cell scratch assay.

Abstract
Rapid post-wound closure is necessary to avoid wound infection and promote scar-free healing when skin trauma occurs. In this study, new types of hydrogel dressings with adjustable contractility were fabricated based on N-isopropyl acrylamide/sodium alginate/graphene oxide (P/SA/GO). Then, the chitosan (CS) solution was used as a bridging polymer to achieve tissue adhesion to the hydrogel. The results show that the hydrogel based on poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM) not only has the ability to self-shrink but also can adjust the rate of shrinkage through near-infrared thermal stimulation. At the same time, high adhesion strength (7.86 ± 1.22 kPa) between the tissue and the dressing is achieved through the introduction of bridging polymers (CS), and the coating area of the bridging polymer can be adjusted to achieve regional adhesion. The mouse total skin defects experiments have shown that sutures-free wound closure in the early stages of wound healing could be obtained by adjusting the material temperature. Besides, the dressings can promote scar-free wound healing by reducing inflammatory cell infiltration and collagen deposition. These results indicate that double-crosslinked PNIPAM-based hydrogel dressings with adjustable adhesion and contractility proposed in this study provide a candidate material for achieving trackless wound healing.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds, a prevalent chronic disease, are associated with older age. The hyperglycemic microenvironment in diabetic wounds significantly reduces the immune system, inducing bacterial invasion. The coupling of tissue repair and antibacterial treatment is critical for infected diabetic ulcer regeneration. In this study, a dual-layered sodium alginate/carboxymethyl chitosan (SA/CMCS) adhesive film cored with an SA-bFGF microsphere-loaded small intestine submucosa (SIS) hydrogel composite dressing with a graphene oxide (GO)-based antisense transformation system was developed to promote infected diabetic wound healing and bacterial eradication. Initially, our injectable SIS-based hydrogel composite stimulated angiogenesis, collagen deposition, and immunoregulation in diabetic wound repair. The GO-based transformation system subsequently inhibited bacterial viability in infected wounds by post-transformation regulation. Meanwhile, the SA/CMCS film provided stable adhesion covering the wound area to maintain a moist microenvironment, which promoted in situ tissue repair. Our findings provide a promising clinical translation strategy for promoting the healing of infected diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Antibacterial hydrogel wound dressings with adhesive and antioxidant activity are desirable for treating skin injuries in clinical care. Hereby, a series of multifunctional hydrogel wound dressings with high adhesive, self-healing, antioxidant, and antibacterial activity were designed and fabricated using dopamine (DA) and quercetin (QT). The multifunctional hydrogels were constructed by the interpenetrated quaternized chitosan chain segments and polyacrylamide network. The catechol groups on DA, QT, and the quaternary ammonium groups in the hydrogel system endow hydrogels with high strength, excellent adhesion, and self-healing ability. The results confirmed the admirable hemocompatibility and remarkable antibacterial activity of the multifunction hydrogels against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Consequently, multifunction hydrogels with satisfactory adhesive and antibacterial activity are appropriate alternative materials in the fields of tissue adhesive and wound dressing applications.

Abstract
Multifunctional hydrogels have great potential in smart wearable technology, flexible electronic devices, and biomedical research. However, it is highly challenging to prepare unique conductive hydrogels with combined properties such as self-healing, self-adhesive, and antibacterial activity. In this regard, herein, a conductive double network hydrogel (ACBt-PAA/CMCs) was fabricated using carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCs), acrylic acid (AA), and alkaline calcium bentonite (ACBt) via a convenient approach. Owing to the hydrogen bond interaction between PAA and CMCs, the ACBt-PAA/CMCs double network structured hydrogels exhibited excellent self-healing (the tensile strength recovered to 74.3 % after 1 h) and adjustable mechanical properties, in which the fracture stress and strain can be easily adjusted in the range of 0.039 to 0.93 MPa and 564 to 2900 %, respectively. In addition, the ACBt-PAA/CMCs hydrogels exhibited the remarkable antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli (bacterial inhibition efficiency of ~99.99 %) and Staphylococcus aureus (bacterial inhibition efficiency of ~99.98 %). Furthermore, the ACBt-PAA/CMCs hydrogel based wearable skin exhibited an excellent real-time sensing performance for monitoring various motions, signifying outstanding sensing and self-adhesion properties. Considering the unique features such as self-healing, excellent adhesion, highly active strain sensing, and antibacterial activities making the ACBt-PAA/CMCs hydrogel is an excellent multifunctional conductive hydrogel. Hence, we believe that this proposed design method for the fabrication of smart and multifunctional conductive hydrogels, and this ACBt-PAA/CMCs hydrogel could be a promising candidate for flexible wearable materials, health monitoring, and beyond.

Abstract
The high prevalence of acquiring skin wounds, along with the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains that lead to infections, impose a threat to the physical, mental, and socioeconomic health of society. Among the wide array of wound dressings developed, hydrogels are regarded as a biomimetic soft matter of choice owing to their ability to provide a moist environment ideal for healing. Herein, neutral glycol chitosan (GC) was cross-linked via imine bonds with varying concentrations of dibenzaldehyde-terminated polyethylene glycol (DP) to give glycol chitosan/dibenzaldehyde-terminated polyethylene glycol hydrogels (GC/DP). These dynamic Schiff base linkages (absorption peak at 1638 cm-1) within the hydrogel structure endowed their ability to recover from damage as characterized by high-low strain exposure in continuous step strain rheology. Along with their good injectability and biodegradability, the hydrogels exhibited remarkable inhibition against E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and S. aureus. GC/DP hydrogels demonstrated high LC50 values in vivo using zebrafish embryos as a model system due to their relative biocompatibility and a remarkable 93.4 ± 0.88% wound contraction at 30-dpw against 49.1 ± 3.40% of the control. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that developed injectable glycol chitosan/dibenzaldehyde-terminated polyethylene glycol self-healing hydrogels for application in wound healing with intrinsic bacteriostatic properties against the three bacteria.

Abstract
As novel wound dressings, cryogels with rapid hemostatic property and good sterilization effect are urgently desirable for wound healing. To reduce the use of antibiotics, antibacterial photothermal therapy with broad-spectrum bactericidal capacity and non-obvious bacterial resistance has been widely researched. However, photothermal agents usually suffer from poor hemostatic ability. In this research, sodium alginate (SA) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) were non-covalently cross-linked in suit by ferric ions to obtain SA/EGCG/Fe (SEF) cryogels after lyophilization as an antibacterial wound dressing. Next, its photothermal performance was intensively assessed. Moreover, its hemostasis and bactericidal effect were evaluated. First, it displayed extraordinary photothermal ability owing to the formation of Fe3+/EGCG-based metal phenolic networks (MPNs) inside the SEF cryogel. Furthermore, in vitro and in vivo assays illustrated that it exhibits rapid hemostatic capacity owing to its high porosity and MPN-mediated cell adhesion capacity. In conclusion, the SEF cryogel manifests satisfactory hemostatic and bactericidal properties. Therefore, it is a promising wound-dressing candidate for clinical applications.

Abstract
There is a continuing need for artificial bone substitutes for bone repair and reconstruction, Magnesium phosphate bone cement (MPC) has exceptional degradable properties and exhibits promising biocompatibility. However, its mechanical strength needs improved and its low osteo-inductive potential limits its therapeutic application in bone regeneration. We functionally modified MPC by using a polymeric carboxymethyl chitosan-sodium alginate (CMCS/SA) gel network. This had the advantages of: improved compressive strength, ease of handling, and an optimized interface for bioactive bone in-growth. The new composites with 2% CMCS/SA showed the most favorable physicochemical properties, including mechanical strength, wash-out resistance, setting time, injectable time and heat release. Biologically, the composite promoted the attachment and proliferation of osteoblast cells. It was also found to induce osteogenic differentiation in vitro, as verified by expression of osteogenic markers. In terms of molecular mechanisms, data showed that new bone cement activated the Wnt pathway through inhibition of the phosphorylation of β-catenin, which is dependent on focal adhesion kinase. Through micro-computed tomography and histological analysis, we found that the MPC-CMCS/SA scaffolds, compared with MPC alone, showed increased bone regeneration in a rat calvarial defect model. Overall, our study suggested that the novel composite had potential to help repair critical bone defects in clinical practice. CMCS/SA improves the mechanical strength of MPC while minimizing tissue damage. The MPC-CMCS/SA composite is easily manipulable for clinical application. MPC-CMCS/SA has good biocompatibility, and is easier for cell adhesion and proliferation. The MPC-CMCS/SA composite enhances osteogenic differentiation in vitro through the integrin-FAK-Wnt axis. The MPC-CMCS/SA composite enhances critical bone defect repair in vivo.

Abstract
Hydrogels have the properties of solid substances and are useful for medicine, e.g., in systems for the controlled release of drugs or as wound dressings. They isolate the wound from the external environment and constitute a barrier to microorganisms while still being permeable to oxygen. In the current study, hydrogels were formed from concentrated aqueous solutions of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) via electron beam irradiation, with the presence of a crosslinking agent: poly(ethylene glycol)diacrylate. The aim of the study was to compare the properties and action of biopolymer CMCS hydrogels with commercial ones and to select the best compositions for future research towards wound-dressing applications. The elasticity of the gel depended on the component concentrations and the irradiation dose employed to form the hydrogel. Young's modulus for the tested hydrogels was higher than for the control material. The Live/Dead test performed on human fibroblasts confirmed that the analyzed hydrogels are not cytotoxic, and for some concentrations, they cause a slight increase in the number of cells compared to the control. The biocompatibility studies carried out on laboratory rats showed no adverse effect of hydrogels on animal tissues, confirming their biocompatibility and suggesting that CMCS hydrogels could be considered as wound-healing dressings in the future. Ionizing radiation was proven to be a suitable tool for CMCS hydrogel synthesis and could be of use in wound-healing therapy, as it may simultaneously sterilize the product.

Abstract
Simple Summary Currently, bone defects, diseases, and injuries are common and global problems. These defects can be treated with several surgical methods and bone grafting, but these methods have limitations, including immune disorders, risk of infection, long-term recovery, movement problems, and high costs. A promising treatment option for bone replacement is the design and construction of scaffolds that mimic the properties of bone tissue and provide a suitable environment for cell and tissue growth. Achieving successful results in this method is dependent on the composition and structure of materials used as scaffolds. Bone is a composite consisting of a mineral fraction, mainly a combination of calcium phosphate, and an organic matrix. Here, we designed and produced a porous, non-toxic, and degradable scaffold made of alginate natural polymer and bioactive glass that contains strontium as well as the common elements of bioglasses—silica, calcium, sodium, and phosphorus. The scaffold is degraded at an optimized rate with the simultaneous proliferation and growth of cells, thus providing a suitable environment for the growth and development of new tissue and blood vessels. The outcomes of this study presented this scaffold as a functional structure to be used in treating bone defects and reconstructing damaged bone. Abstract The main aim of the current study is to fabricate an osteocompatible, bioactive, porous, and degradable bone tissue engineering scaffold. For this purpose, bioactive glasses (BGs) were chosen due to their similarity to bone’s natural mineral composition, and the effect of replacing Ca ions with Sr on their properties were considered. First, strontium-containing BGs (Sr-BGs) were synthesized using the electrospinning technique and assembled by the sol–gel method, then they were incorporated into the alginate (Alg) matrix. Photographs of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed that the BG nanofibers have a diameter of 220 ± 36 nm, which was smaller than the precursor nanofibers (275 ± 66 nm). The scaffolds possess a porous internal microstructure (230–330 nm pore size) with interconnected pores. We demonstrated that the scaffolds could be degraded in the acetate sodium buffer and phosphate-buffered saline. The osteoactivity of the scaffolds was confirmed via visual inspection of the SEM illustrations after seven days of immersing them in the SBF solution. In vitro assessments disclosed that the produced Alg-based composites including Sr-BGs (Alg/Sr-BGs) are blood-compatible and biocompatible. Accumulating evidence shows that Alg/Sr-BG (5%, 10%, and 15%) hydrogels could be a promising scaffold for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Most traditional wound dressings passively offer a protective barrier for the wounds, which lacks the initiative in stimulating tissue regeneration. In addition, cutaneous wound healing is usually accompanied by various complicated conditions, including bacterial infection, skin cancer, and damaged skin appendages, bringing further challenges for wound management in clinic. Therefore, an ideal wound dressing should not only actively stimulate wound healing but also hold multi-functions for solving problems associated with different specific wound conditions. Recent studies have demonstrated that silicate bioceramics and bioglasses are one type of promising materials for the development of wound dressings, as they can actively accelerate wound healing by regulating endothelial cells, dermal fibroblasts, macrophages, and epidermal cells. In particular, silicate-based biomaterials can be further functionalized by specific structural design or doping with functional components, which endow materials with enhanced bioactivities or expanded physicochemical properties such as photothermal, photodynamic, chemodynamic, or imaging properties. The functionalized materials can be used to address wound healing with different demands including but not limited to antibacterial, anticancer, skin appendages regeneration, and wound monitoring. In this review, we summarized the current research on the development of silicate-based multi-functional wound dressings and prospected the development of advanced wound dressings in the future.

Acta Biomater 2022; 145:372-389. [PMID: 35421617 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.04.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2021] [Revised: 03/25/2022] [Accepted: 04/07/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Diabetic chronic wounds are difficult to heal because of the presence of excessive inflammation and high overexpression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), which greatly affects the quality of life of patients with diabetes and increases the risk of death. Thus, the regulation of excessive inflammation and inhibition of MMP-9 overexpression are effective strategies to improve diabetic wound healing. The present study is the first to demonstrate that ion products of 45S5 Bioglass® (BG) can work with small interfering RNA of MMP9 (MMP9-siRNA) to reduce MMP-9 expression in tissue-forming cells and enhance the synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins (ECMs). Specifically, the BG ionic products can stimulate macrophages to convert to M2 phenotype, thereby creating a proregenerative inflammation microenvironment to indirectly suppress the expression of MMP-9 in tissue-forming cells. Chitosan nanoparticles encapsulating MMP9-siRNA (MMP9-siNP) can directly lower MMP-9 expression in tissue-forming cells. In addition, BG ionic products can promote the vascularization of endothelial cells and ECM protein synthesis by fibroblasts. Thus, injectable BG/sodium alginate (BG/SA) hydrogels loaded with MMP9-siNP can significantly accelerate the healing process of full-thickness excision wounds of diabetic rats by decreasing MMP-9 expression, improving collagen synthesis, and enhancing angiogenesis in the wounds, thereby demonstrating their great application potential in treating diabetic chronic wounds. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Excessive inflammation and high overexpression of MMP-9 have been considered as factors that severely hinder the healing process of diabetic chronic wounds. Effective strategies are required for the regulation of excessive inflammation and inhibition of MMP-9 overexpression to enhance diabetic wound healing. In the present work, an injectable bioglass/sodium alginate (BG/SA) hydrogel loaded with MMP9-siNP was developed; this hydrogel significantly accelerated the healing process of full-thickness excision wounds of diabetic rats by decreasing MMP-9 expression, improving collagen accumulation, and enhancing angiogenesis in the wounds. Thus, the BG/SA hydrogel loaded with MMP9-siNP has great potential for use in healing of diabetic chronic wounds.

Abstract
While polymer hydrogels are frequently utilized as wound dressings, they lack the sufficient bioactivity necessary to promote re-epithelialization and angiogenesis. In this work, a therapeutic angiogenesis complex is developed using a mixture of dopamine-modified polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (Dopa-POSS), strontium ions (Sr2+ ions) photocrosslinked gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) for full-thickness burn wound healing. Dopa-POSS is used to reinforce the hydrogel, and Sr2+ ions stabilizer is densely incorporated inside the network of GelMA hydrogels by ultraviolet cross-linking, thus effectively enhancing the hydrogel mechanical strength. The multifunctional GelMA hydrogels comprised gelatin's arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) patterns and active Sr2+ ions that promote EPC biological activity and proliferation. Notably, the Sr2+ ions in the functional hydrogels substantially enhanced EPC proliferation in a three-dimensional environment, migration, and angiogenesis-related protein expression. After 14 days, the Gel/Sr2+@POSS/EPCs composite hydrogel substantially accelerates and enhances the new blood vessel development process, collagen deposition, and re-epithelialization with the almost closed wounds and newly created tissue. Thus, UV-crosslinked Gel/Sr2+@POSS hydrogels functionalized with EPCs can be a potentially beneficial therapeutic system for full-thickness burn wound healing.

Abstract
For improving the mechanical strength of controlled release fertilizer (CRF) hydrogels, a novel material of Chlorella was employed as a bio-based filler to prepare chitosan–chlorella hydrogel beads with physical crosslink method. Here, the synthesis mechanism was investigated, and the chitosan–chlorella hydrogel beads exhibited enhanced mechanical stability under centrifugation and sonication than pure chitosan hydrogel beads. Chlorella brought more abundant functional groups to original chitosan hydrogel, hence, chitosan–chlorella hydrogel beads represented greater sensitivity and controllable response to external factors including pH, salt solution, temperature. In distilled water, the hydrogel beads with 40 wt% Chlorella reached the largest water absorption ratio of 42.92 g/g. Moreover, the mechanism and kinetics process of swelling behavior of the chitosan–chlorella hydrogel beads were evaluated, and the loading and releasing of humic acid by the hydrogel beads as a carrier material were pH-dependent and adjustable, which exhibit the potential of chitosan–chlorella hydrogel beads in the field of controlled release carrier biomaterials.

Abstract
Bioglass/chitosan-alginate (BCA) composite scaffolds with remarkable performance for bone tissue engineering are successfully prepared by freeze-drying method. The influence of the addition amount of sodium alginate (SA) on the microstructure, porosity, pore size, swelling ratio, degradation ratio, mechanical properties and mineralization ability of BCA composite scaffolds is studied and characterized by various techniques of the scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, infrared absorption spectrometer and so on. The results show that the BCA composite scaffolds have the three-dimensional interconnected network structure with the high porosity of 82%-87% and a suitable average pore size of 140-200 μm. With the increase of SA addition, the porosity and pore size of BCA gradually reduced and the thickness of pore wall increased. The swelling and degradation ratios decreased gradually with the raising SA and increased with the prolongation of soaking time in PBS. The mechanical strength of BCA was also significantly enhanced, and the mineralization ability of bioglass was effectively deployed with the adding SA of BCA. The improved performance of BCA may be attributed to the formed 3D network structure, activated bioavailability and crosslinking ability between chitosan and SA. It indicates that BCA composite scaffolds have potential applications in bone issues engineering.
