Abstract
The development of a rapid hemostat through a facile method with co-existing antibacterial activity and minimum erythrocyte lysis property stands as a major requirement in the field of hemostasis. Herein, a series of novel microparticle hemostats were synthesized using chitosan, different hydrothermally-treated starches, and cross-linked with tannic acid (TA) simultaneously in an unoxidized environment via ionotropic gelation method. Hemostats' comparative functional properties, such as adjustable antibacterial and erythrocyte compatibility upon various starch additions were evaluated. The in vivo hemostatic study revealed that the developed hemostats for mouse liver laceration and rat tail amputation had clotting times (13 s and 38 s, respectively) and blood loss (51 mg and 62 mg, respectively) similar to those of Celox™. The erythrocyte adhesion test suggested that erythrocyte distortion can be lowered by modifying the antibacterial hemostats with different starches. The broad-spectrum antibacterial efficacy of the hemostats remained intact against S. aureus (>90 %), E. coli (>80 %), and P. mirabilis bacteria upon starch modification. They also demonstrated high hemocompatibility (<3 % hemolysis ratio), moderate cell viability (>81 %), in vivo biodegradation, and angiogenesis indicating adequate biocompatibility and wound healing. The developed hemostats hold significant promise to be employed as rapid hemostatic agents for preventing major bleeding and bacterial infection in emergencies.

Abstract
Physically crosslinked hydrogels have shown great potential as excellent and eco-friendly matrices for wound management. Herein, we demonstrate the development of a thermosensitive chitosan hydrogel system using CaCO3 as a gelling agent, followed by CaCO3 mineralization to fine-tune its properties. The chitosan hydrogel effectively gelled at 37 °C and above after an incubation period of at least 2 h, facilitated by the CaCO3-mediated slow deprotonation of primary amine groups on chitosan polymers. Through synthesizing and characterizing various chitosan hydrogel compositions, we found that mineralization played a key role in enhancing the hydrogels' mechanical strength, viscosity, and thermal inertia. Moreover, thorough in vitro and in vivo assessments of the chitosan-based hydrogels, whether modified with mineralization or not, demonstrated their outstanding hemostatic activity (reducing coagulation time by >41 %), biocompatibility with minimal inflammation, and biodegradability. Importantly, in vivo evaluations using a rat burn wound model unveiled a clear wound healing promotion property of the chitosan hydrogels, and the mineralized form outperformed its precursor, with a reduction of >7 days in wound closure time. This study presents the first-time utilization of chitosan/CaCO3 as a thermogelation formulation, offering a promising prototype for a new family of thermosensitive hydrogels highly suited for wound care applications.

Abstract
Bleeding to death accounts for around 30-40% of all trauma-related fatalities. Current hemostatic materials are mainly mono-functional or have insufficient hemostatic capacity. Nanoclay has been recently shown to accelerate hemostasis, improve wound healing, and provide the resulting multifunctional hemostatic materials antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and healing-promoting due to its distinctive morphological structure and physicochemical properties. Herein, the chemical design and action mechanism of nanoclay-based hemostatic, antibacterial, and pro-wound healing materials in the context of wound healing are discussed. The physiological processes of hemostasis and wound healing to elucidate the significance of nanoclay for functional wound hemostatic dressing design are outlined. A summary of the features of various nanoclay and product types used in wound hemostatic dressings is provided. Nanoclay can be antimicrobial due to the slow release of metal ions and has an abundant surface charge allowing for high affinity for proteins and cells, which can activate the coagulation reaction or facilitate tissue repair. Nanoclay with a microporous structure can be used as drug carriers to create composites critical for inhibiting bacterial growth on wounds or promoting the regeneration of vascular, muscle, and skin tissues. Directions for further research and innovation of nanoclay-based multifunctional materials for hemostasis and tissue regeneration are explored.

Abstract
Trauma requires immediate hemostasis during primary care, as well as durable hemostasis that can withstand dynamic wound exposure. Although current hemostatic materials can treat bleeding sites in emergency situations, their mechanical strength and storage conditions limit their practical application. The simultaneous combination of good mechanical properties, storage stability, biocompatibility, and rapid hemostasis of hemostatic materials remains a challenge. In this paper, a novel hemostatic material based on multiple non-covalent bond crosslinking, which has excellent mechanical properties, good biocompatibility, storage stability, and rapid hemostasis ability, is reported. Under the drive of multiple non-covalent bonds, the flowability of hydrogel micro-modules (HM) decreases rapidly within 20 s after exposure to physiological saline. The HM form a gel barrier with a tensile strength of 62.10 kPa and an elongation at break of 1976% under multiple non-covalent bonding. Furthermore, the mechanical properties do not change significantly after 30 days of storage. Cell viability is maintained at over 80% after 3 days of incubation with the cells, and the hemolysis test shows a very low hemolysis rate (2.08%). The hemostatic gel formed by HM effectively prevents secondary bleeding in dynamic hemostasis experiments simulating transportation. This work provides a hemostatic material with comprehensive properties for practical applications.

Abstract
Bleeding from uncontrollable wounds can be fatal, and the body's clotting mechanisms are unable to control bleeding in a timely and effective manner in emergencies such as battlefields and traffic accidents. For irregular and inaccessible wounds, hemostatic materials are needed to intervene to stop bleeding. Hemostatic microspheres are promising for hemostasis, as their unique structural features can promote coagulation. There is a wide choice of materials for the preparation of microspheres, and the modification of natural macromolecular materials such as chitosan to enhance the hemostatic properties and make up for the deficiencies of synthetic macromolecular materials makes the hemostatic microspheres multifunctional and expands the application fields of hemostatic microspheres. Here, we focus on the hemostatic mechanism of different materials and the preparation methods of microspheres, and introduce the modification methods, related properties and applications (in cancer therapy) for the structural characteristics of hemostatic microspheres. Finally, we discuss the future trends of hemostatic microspheres and research opportunities for developing the next generation of hemostatic microsphere materials.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds, resulting from skin atrophy due to localized ischemia and hypoxia in diabetic patients, lead to chronic pathological inflammation and delayed healing. Using electrospinning technology, we developed magnesium ion-chelated nanofiber membranes to explore their efficacy in antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and angiogenic applications for wound healing. These membranes are flexible and elastic, resembling native skin tissue, and possess good hydrophilicity for comfortable wound bed contact. The mechanical properties of nanofiber membranes are enhanced by the chelation of magnesium ions (Mg2+), which also facilitates a long-term slow release of Mg2+. The cytocompatibility of the nanofibrous membranes is influenced by their Mg2+ content: lower levels encourage the proliferation of fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and macrophages, while higher levels are inhibitory. In a diabetic rat model, magnesium ion-chelated nanofibrous membranes effectively reduced early wound inflammation and notably accelerated wound healing. This study highlights the potential of magnesium ion-chelated nanofiber membranes in treating diabetic wounds.

Abstract
The various tissue damages are a severe problem to human health. The limited human tissue regenerate ability requires suitable biomaterials to help damage tissue repair and regeneration. Therefore, many researchers devoted themselves to exploring biomaterials suitable for tissue repair and regeneration. Polydopamine (PDA) as a natural and multifunctional material which is inspired by mussel has been widely applied in different biomaterials. The excellent properties of PDA, such as strong adhesion, photothermal and high drug-loaded capacity, seem to be born for tissue repair and regeneration. Furthermore, PDA combined with different materials can exert unexpected effects. Thus, to inspire researchers, this review summarizes the recent and representative development of PDA biomaterials in tissue repair and regeneration. This article focuses on why apply PDA in these biomaterials and what PDA can do in different tissue injuries.

Abstract
In recent years, the coagulation properties of inorganic minerals such as kaolin and zeolite have been demonstrated. This study aimed to assess the hemostatic properties of three local clays from China: natural kaolin from Hainan, natural halloysite from Yunnan, and zeolite synthesized by our group. The physical and chemical properties, blood coagulation performance, and cell biocompatibility of the three materials were tested. The studied materials were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). All three clays showed different morphologies and particle size, and exhibited negative potentials between pH 6 and 8. The TGA and DSC curves for kaolin and halloysite were highly similar. Kaolin showed the highest water absorption capacity (approximately 93.8% ± 0.8%). All three clays were noncytotoxic toward L929 mouse fibroblasts. Kaolin and halloysite showed blood coagulation effects similar to that exhibited by zeolite, indicating that kaolin and halloysite are promising alternative hemostatic materials.

Abstract
A lack of control over blood loss can have catastrophic implications, including death. Although several hemostatic medications have been employed to reduce bleeding, a vast majority of them are ineffective, expensive, or pose health risks to the patient. To overcome these constraints, chitosan-polyethylene glycol (CS-PEG) hemostatic gels loaded with ethanolic extract of Jatropha mollissima sap (EES) were prepared and their hemostatic, physicochemical, and cytotoxic properties were evaluated. The gels were produced by mixing CS with PEG (an external plasticizer) and EES. The phytochemical analysis revealed a significant concentration of total polyphenols and tannins content in the extract and catechin was identified as one of the key compounds of EES. Infrared spectroscopy analysis revealed the presence of EES in the gels, as well as the chemical interaction between CS and PEG. The gels were thermally stable between 25 and 37 °C (ambient and human body temperature range), had pseudoplastic deformation behavior (rheological properties preserved after shearing), were simple to inject (compression force 30 N), and were biocompatible. In vivo experiments showed that both CS-PEG-EES gels exhibited greater hemostatic action in preventing tail hemorrhage in Wistar rats, with decreased bleeding time and blood weight compared with unloaded CS-PEG gels (control groups) and Hemostank, a commercial product. However, the gel prepared with acetic acid was more efficient in controlling bleeding. These findings reveal that CS-PEG-EES gels can reduce hemorrhages and are a potent, simple, and safe hemostatic agent.

Abstract
Hydrophilic hemostatic sponge plays an important role in trauma bleeding control because of its robust coagulant functions. However, its strong tissue adhesion can easily result in wound tear and rebleeding during removing the sponge. Herein, the design of a hydrophilic anti-adhesive chitosan/graphene oxide composite sponge (CSAG) that possesses stable mechanical strength, rapid liquid absorption and strong intrinsic/extrinsic coagulation stimulations, is reported. For one thing, CSAG exhibits outstanding hemostatic performance, which significantly outperforms two commercial hemostats in two in vivo serious bleeding models. For another, CSAG shows low tissue adhesion; its peeling force is approximately 79.3 % lower than the commercial gauze. Moreover, in the peeling process, CSAG triggers partial detachment of the blood scab, because of the exist of bubbles or cavities at the interface, allowing the CSAG to be easily and safely peeled off from the wound without rebleeding. This study opens new avenues in constructing anti-adhesive trauma hemostatic materials.

Abstract
Chitin is a popular hemostatic material, but there are still many deficiencies in its ability to effectively stop bleeding, prevent infection, and fit wounds. Herein, AgNP@zeolite/chitin/bamboo (AgZ-CB) composite sponges with shape recovery are prepared to minimize blood loss, kill bacteria, and promote wound healing. Notably, the bamboo powder is used for the first time to remarkably enhance the softness of the composite sponge (volumetric expansion ratio >5). The fabricated AgZ-CB sponge exhibits an excellent killing effect (≈100% bactericidal rate) against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus and activates internal and external coagulation pathways to accelerate hemostasis without causing thermal damage (≈5 °C temperature difference). Moreover, the AgZ-CB sponge shows less blood loss (26 mg) and a shorter time to hemostasis (42 s) than the commercial polyvinyl formal sponge (84 mg and 76 s) in the full-thickness liver injury model. The in vivo wound healing and biodegradation experiment indicate that AgZ-CB with excellent biocompatibility can close wounds efficiently. Overall, the AgZ-CB sponge has great potential in combating a series of obstacles in wound healing.

Abstract
Efficient hemostasis during emergency trauma with massive bleeding remains a critical challenge in prehospital settings. Thus, multiple hemostatic strategies are critical for treating large bleeding wounds. In this study, inspired by bombardier beetles to eject toxic spray for defense, a shape-memory aerogel with an aligned microchannel structure was proposed, employing thrombin-carrying microparticles loaded as a built-in engine to generate pulse ejections for enhanced drug permeation. Bioinspired aerogels, after contact with blood, can rapidly expand inside the wound, offering robust physical barrier blocking, sealing the bleeding wound, and generating a spontaneous local chemical reaction causing an explosive-like generation of CO2 microbubbles, which provide propulsion thrust to accelerate burst ejection from arrays of microchannels for deeper and faster drug diffusion. The ejection behavior, drug release kinetics, and permeation capacity were evaluated using a theoretical model and experimentally demonstrated. This novel aerogel showed remarkable hemostatic performance in severely bleeding wounds in a swine model and demonstrated good degradability and biocompatibility, displaying great potential for clinical application in humans.

Abstract
The need for affordable effective prehospital hemostatic dressings to control hemorrhage has led to an increased interest in new dressing design approaches. Here we consider the separate components of fabric, fiber, and procoagulant nonexothermic zeolite-based formulations on design approaches to accelerated hemostasis. The design of the fabric formulations was based on incorporation of zeolite Y as the principal procoagulant, with calcium and pectin to adhere and enhance the activity. Unbleached nonwoven cotton when combined with bleached cotton displays enhanced properties related to hemostasis. Here, we compare sodium zeolite with ammonium zeolite formulated on fabrics utilizing pectin with pad versus spray-dry-cure and varied fiber compositions. Notably, ammonium as a counterion resulted in shorter times to fibrin and clot formation comparable to the procoagulant standard. The time to fibrin formation as measured by thromboelastography was found to be within a range consistent with modulating severe hemorrhage control. The results indicate a correlation between fabric add-on and accelerated clotting as measured by both time to fibrin and clot formation. A comparison between the time to fibrin formation in calcium/pectin formulations and pectin alone revealed an enhanced clotting effect with calcium decreasing by one minute the time to fibrin formation. Infra-red spectra were employed to characterize and quantify the zeolite formulations on the dressings.

Abstract
Uncontrolled bleeding and bacterial coinfection are the major causes of death after an injury. Fast hemostatic capacity, good biocompatibility, and bacterial coinfection inhibition pose great challenges to hemostatic agent development. A prospective sepiolite/Ag nanoparticles (sepiolite@AgNPs) composite has been prepared by using natural clay sepiolite as template. A tail vein hemorrhage mouse model and a rabbit hemorrhage model were used to evaluate the hemostatic properties of the composite. The sepiolite@AgNPs composite can quickly absorb fluid to subsequently stop bleeding due to the natural fibrous crystal structure of sepiolite, and inhibit bacterial growth with the antibacterial ability of AgNPs. Compared with commercially-available zeolite material, the as-prepared composite exhibits competitive hemostatic properties without exothermic reaction in the rabbit model of femoral and carotid artery injury. The rapid hemostatic effect was due to the efficient absorption of erythrocyte and activation of the coagulation cascade factors and platelets. Besides, after heat-treatment, the composites can be recycled without significant reduction of hemostatic performance. Our results also prove that sepiolite@AgNPs nanocomposites can stimulate wound healing. The sustainability, lower-cost, higher bioavailability, and stronger hemostatic efficacy of sepiolite@AgNPs composite render these nanocomposites as more favorable hemostatic agents for hemostasis and wound healing.

Abstract
The challenge for the treatment of severe traumas poses an urgent clinical need for the development of biomaterials to achieve rapid hemostasis and wound healing. In the past few decades, active inorganic components and their derived composites have become potential clinical products owing to their excellent performances in the process of hemorrhage control and tissue repair. In this review, we provide a current overview of the development of inorganic-based biomaterials used for hemostasis and wound healing. We highlight the methods and strategies for the design of inorganic-based biomaterials, including 3D printing, freeze-drying, electrospinning and vacuum filtration. Importantly, inorganic-based biomaterials for rapid hemostasis and wound healing are presented, and we divide them into several categories according to different chemistry and forms and further discuss their properties, therapeutic mechanisms and applications. Finally, the conclusions and future prospects are suggested for the development of novel inorganic-based biomaterials in the field of rapid hemostasis and wound healing.

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

Abstract
Complex yet lethal wounds with uncontrollable bleeding hinder conventional hemostats from clotting blood at the source or deep sites of injury vasculature, thereby causing massive blood loss and significantly increased mortality. Inspired by the attack action of torpedoes, we synthesized microcluster (MC) colloidosomes equipped with magnetic-mediated navigation and "blast" systems to deliver hemostats into the cavity of vase-type wounds. CaCO3/Fe2O3 (CF) microparticles functionalized with Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) modified polyelectrolyte multilayers were co-assembled with oppositely charged zwitterionic carbon dots (CDs) to form MC colloidosomes, which were loaded with thrombin and protonated tranexamic acid (TXA-NH3 +). The composite microparticles moved against blood flow under magnetic mediation and simultaneously disassembled for the burst release of thrombin stimulated by TXA-NH3 +. The CO2 bubbles generated during disassembly produced a "blast" that propelled thrombin into the wound cavity. Severe bleeding in a vase-type hemorrhage model in the rabbit liver was rapidly controlled within ∼60 s. Furthermore, in vivo subcutaneous muscle and liver implantation models demonstrated excellent biodegradability of MC colloidosomes. This study is the first to propose a novel strategy based on the principle of torpedoes for transporting hemostats into vase-type wounds to achieve rapid hemostasis, creating a new paradigm for combating trauma treatment.

Abstract
Uncontrolled hemorrhage from wounds with deep and irregular cavities is short of efficient hemostats. Here we report a citric acid-cross-linked carboxymethyl cellulose nanofiber (CA-CMCNF) aerogel for the control of bleeding from penetrating wounds. The compressed CA-CMCNF aerogel could quickly swell into its original shape in water in seconds. The maximum mass and volume expansion ratios were over 6800 and 3000%, respectively. The water-swellable property allows the aerogel to self-expand and fill in the cavities of wounds. The in situ-generated expansion pressure resisted the systolic blood pressure, and the plentiful carboxyl groups triggered the active coagulation pathway, both contributing to the hemostatic capability of the aerogel. Additionally, the aerogel had good biocompatibility and excellent antibacterial capability. The animal experiments revealed that the aerogels significantly reduced both the hemostasis time and the amount of bleeding in a liver penetrating model. Therefore, this study provides a safe and robust hemostatic aerogel for controlling bleeding from penetrating wounds.

Abstract
Synergistic functionalization of interface coagulation stimulation and liquid absorption capacity is the key to improve the hemostatic efficiency of hemostats. Herein, we prepared a graphene-ophicalcite (OPH) heterogeneous composite sponge (GOCS) by using the heterogeneous gradient composite strategy. The sponge took cross-linked graphene sponge (CGS) as the main skeleton, allowing the OPH to be controllably positioned on the surface of GOCS. The heterogeneous strategy gave full play to the advantages of the material. On the one hand, GOCS had excellent liquid absorption ability, which enriched blood cells and other coagulation components at the wound interface after contacting blood. On the other hand, the OPH at the interface obviously activated platelets and rapidly triggered coagulation cascade reactions, exhibiting fast response and feedback characteristics for coagulation signals. Under the synergistic effects, the blood clotting index value of GOCS was reduced to 33.87 ± 9.97%, which was significantly lower than those of OPH (46.33 ± 16.85%) and CGS (67.53 ± 5.35%). Importantly, GOCS rapidly stopped bleeding within 51 s in the rat femoral artery model, suggesting its great potential in the field of hemostasis. Therefore, this study provides a new idea for the design and preparation of hemostatic materials via heterogeneous strategy.

Abstract
Irregular hemorrhagic traumas always threaten the health of patients due to uncontrollable bleeding and wound infections. The traditional hemostatic materials show dissatisfactory hemostatic efficiency and antibacterial activity in solving these potential bleeding dangers. Herein, we proposed a kind of composites based on flexible wood membrane (FWM) loaded with chitosan/alginate derivative for accelerating rapid hemostasis and preventing infection. FWM was removed part of hemicellulose and lignin by using NaOH/Na2SO3 mixture to obtain excellent flexibility while retaining the original porous structure, followed by loading silver nanoparticles on the FWM surface to prepare AgNPs-FWM as an antibacterial bio-carrier. Then, AgNPs-FWM was coated with polyoxyethylene stearate-modified chitosan and multi-aldehyde sodium alginate to fabricate the composites of chitosan/alginate/AgNPs-FWM (CSA/AgNPs-FWM) using in-situ Schiff base reaction. Furthermore, in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that the CSA/AgNPs-FWM composites exhibited lower BCI value (2.6 ± 1.3 %), more rapid hemostasis (26 s) and lower blood loss (67.8 mg) than that of the traditional materials. The possible mechanism for the hemostasis process was not only the high blood absorption capacity, but also the synergistic interaction between hydrophobic alkane chains, amino groups, aldehydes, hydroxyl groups and blood cells. Moreover, CSA/AgNPs-FWM showed exceptional superiorities in mechanical properties and antibacterial activity, which endowed composites high potential in hemostasis application for irregular external wound.

Abstract
Thermal ablation therapy is widely used in the surgical treatment of tumors. Clinically, normal saline is generally used as an insulator to protect adjacent tissues from local high-temperature burns caused by thermal ablation. However, the flow of saline causes fluid loss, requiring frequent injections and complex operation, which is easy to lead to complications such as secondary injury and hematoma. Here, a self-healing chitosan-PEG (CP) hydrogel was proposed as a protective medium to challenge the clinical preparations. Compared with saline and non-self-healing hydrogel F127, CP hydrogel exhibited outstanding thermal shielding performance in the thermal ablation of thyroid nodule in a Beagle dog model. The transient plane source (TPS) method is used to measure thermal properties, including thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity and specific heat capacity. The thermal shielding mechanism and clinical advantages including operability, biodegradability, and biological safety of self-healing hydrogel are then revealed in-depth. Therefore, self-healing hydrogel can achieve much better thermal management in tumor thermal ablation.

Abstract
Effective control of acute wound hemorrhage caused by battlefields, car accidents, natural disasters can highly improve patients’ survival rates. Nevertheless, hemostatic materials on present market have various defects and limitations. This study utilizes tilapia to extract macromolecular type I collagen to prepare a new hemostatic sponge for controlling acute wound bleeding. The extracted fish collagen has high purity, uniform molecular size and high hydroxyproline content. The peptide chain structure and natural high-level structure are intactly preserved. The infrared absorption spectrum showcases that it preserves all the characteristic absorption bands of type I collagen. The developed hemostatic sponge has a uniform honeycomb-shaped porous structure and high water absorption capacity. The biological safety test illustrates that the sponge cell has good compatibility and it will not trigger any inflammatory reaction or immune rejection reactions in the body. The sponge cell could be degraded gradually and completely, which has good biocompatibility and degradation performance. The result of in vitro experiments shows that certain groups or structures in fish collagen molecules can combine specific sites on the surface of blood cells and platelets, which can quickly activate platelets and coagulation system to obtain better coagulation function. The result of In vivo experiments further shows that the fish collagen sponge has fast coagulation speed and low bleeding during the hemostasis process of rabbit ear arteries and rat liver wounds, which proves that it has excellent coagulation performance.

Abstract
Wearable sensors in healthcare monitoring have recently found widespread applications in biomedical fields for their non- or minimal-invasive, user-friendly and easy-accessible features. Sensing materials is one of the major challenges to achieve these superiorities of wearable sensors for healthcare monitoring, while graphene-based materials with many favorable properties have shown great efficiency in sensing various biochemical and biophysical signals. In this paper, we review state-of-the-art advances in the development and modification of graphene-based materials (i.e., graphene, graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide) for fabricating advanced wearable sensors with 1D (fibers), 2D (films) and 3D (foams/aerogels/hydrogels) macroscopic structures. We summarize the structural design guidelines, sensing mechanisms, applications and evolution of the graphene-based materials as wearable sensors for healthcare monitoring of biophysical signals (e.g., mechanical, thermal and electrophysiological signals) and biochemical signals from various body fluids and exhaled gases. Finally, existing challenges and future prospects are presented in this area.

Abstract
Developing an excellent hemostatic material with good biocompatibility and high blood absorption capacity for rapid hemostasis of deep non-compressible hemorrhage remains a significant challenge. Herein, a novel conjugate electrospinning strategy to prepare an ultralight 3D gelatin sponge consisting of continuous interconnected nanofibers. This unique fluffy nanofiber structure endows the sponge with low density, high surface area, compressibility, and ultrastrong liquid absorption capacity. In vitro assessments show the gelatin nanofiber sponge has good cytocompatibility, high cell permeability, and low hemolysis ratio. The rat subcutaneous implantation studies demonstrate good biocompatibility and biodegradability of gelatin nanofiber sponge. Gelatin nanofiber sponge aggregates and activates platelets in large quantities to accelerate the formation of platelet embolism, and simultaneously escalates other extrinsic and intrinsic coagulation pathways, which collectively contribute to its superior hemostatic capacity. In vivo studies on an ear artery injury model and a liver trauma model of rabbits demonstrate that the gelatin nanofiber sponge rapidly induce stable blood clots with least blood loss compared to gelatin nanofiber membrane, medical gauze, and commercial gelatin hemostatic sponge. Hence, the gelatin nanofiber sponge holds great potential as an absorbable hemostatic agent for rapid hemostasis.

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. The first step in wound healing is haemostasis, and the development of haemostatic materials that aid wound healing has accelerated in the past 5 years. Numerous haemostatic materials have been fabricated, composed of different active components (including natural polymers, synthetic polymers, silicon-based materials and metal-containing materials) and in various forms (including sponges, hydrogels, nanofibres and particles). In this Review, we provide an overview of haemostatic materials in wound healing, focusing on their chemical design and operation. We describe the physiological process of haemostasis to elucidate the principles that underpin the design of haemostatic wound dressings. We also highlight the advantages and limitations of the different active components and forms of haemostatic materials. The main challenges and future directions in the development of haemostatic materials for wound healing are proposed.

Abstract
Uncontrollable hemorrhage leads to high mortality and thus effective bleeding control becomes increasingly important in the military field and civilian trauma arena. However, current hemostats not only present limitation when treating major bleeding, but also have various side effects. Here we report a self-expanding porous composites (CMCP) based on novel carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) fibers and acetalized polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) for lethal hemorrhage control. The CMC fibers with uniform fibrous structure, high liquid absorption and procoagulant ability, are evenly interspersed inside the composite matrix. The obtained composites possess unique fiber-porous network, excellent absorption capacity, fast liquid-triggered self-expanding ability and robust fatigue resistance, and their physicochemical performance can be fine-tuned through varying the CMC content. In vitro tests show that the porous composite exhibits strong blood clotting ability, high adhesion to blood cells and protein, and the ability to activate platelet and the coagulation system. In vivo hemostatic evaluation further confirms that the CMCP presents high hemostatic efficacy and multiple hemostatic effects in swine femoral artery major hemorrhage model. Additionally, the CMCP will not fall off from the injury site, and is also easy to surgically remove from the wound cavity after the hemostasis. Importantly, results of CT tomography and 3D reconstruction indicate that CMCP can achieve shape adaptation to the surrounding tissues and the wound cavities with different depths and shapes, to accelerate hemostasis while protecting wound tissue and preventing infection.

Abstract
Wounds affect one's quality of life and should be managed on a patient-specific approach, based on the particular healing phase and wound condition. During wound healing, exudate is produced as a natural response towards healing. However, excessive production can be detrimental, representing a challenge for wound management. The design and development of new healing devices and therapeutics with improved performance is a constant demand from the healthcare services. Aerogels can combine high porosity and low density with the adequate fluid interaction and drug loading capacity, to establish hemostasis and promote the healing and regeneration of exudative and chronic wounds. Bio-based aerogels, i.e., those produced from natural polymers, are particularly attractive since they encompass their intrinsic chemical properties and the physical features of their nanostructure. In this work, the emerging research on aerogels for wound treatment is reviewed for the first time. The current scenario and the opportunities provided by aerogels in the form of films, membranes and particles are identified to face current unmet demands in fluid managing and wound healing and regeneration.

[PMID: 34095621 PMCID: PMC8141897 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2021.05.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2021] [Revised: 04/30/2021] [Accepted: 05/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Severe bleeding in perforating and inflected wounds with forky cavities or fine voids encountered during prehospital treatments and surgical procedures is a complex challenge. Therefore, we present a novel hemostatic strategy based on magnetic field-mediated guidance. The biphasic Janus magnetic particle (MSS@Fe2O3-T) comprised aggregates of α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (Fe2O3 NPs) as the motion actuator, negatively modified microporous starch (MSS) as the base hemostatic substrate, and thrombin as the loaded hemostatic drug. Before application, the particles were first wrapped using NaHCO3 and then doped with protonated tranexamic acid (TXA-NH3+), which ensured their high self-dispersibility in liquids. During application, the particles promptly self-diffused in blood by bubble propulsion and travelled to deep bleeding sites against reverse rushing blood flow under magnetic guidance. In vivo tests confirmed the superior hemostatic performance of the particles in perforating and inflected wounds (“V”-shaped femoral artery and “J”-shaped liver bleeding models). The present strategy, for the first time, extends the range of magnetically guided drug carriers to address the challenges in the hemorrhage control of perforating and inflected wounds. A new Janus hemostat was developed for treating severe bleeding. The “J” shape bleeding model was proposed for hemostatic test. Magnetic field-mediated driving capacity was employed for hemostasis. Explosive self-dispersibility endowed to the hemostat largely enhanced the bleeding control capacity.

Abstract
Uncontrolled bleeding is thought to be the most deadly cause of pre-hospital, traffic, and military accidents death. However, the popular commercial hemostats can only realize the hemostasis of mild bleeding. Therefore, we developed polydopamine (PDA) composite materials (PMs), which applied hydroxyapatite as the parent body. The PMs were produced via lyophilization and functionalized with amino, phenol hydroxyls groups, which endowed hydrophobicity to materials. This ensured a high aggregation ability of blood cells to the PMs and they were tested to be as high as 300% compared with the negative control group. The clotting time was shortened to 79.7% compared with the usually used commercial hemostat (Celox) in the test of in vitro hemostasis. Through the results of PT and APTT tests, blood coagulation index test, and the analysis of intracellular Ca2+ activation, we further understood the mechanism of the hemostasis of the materials, which explained the low blood loss and quick coagulation time of the PM hemostats in detail. Besides, the low hemolysis and cytotoxicity of the PMs suggested the good biocompatibility of the hemostats, which was further proved by the regular morphology maintained by erythrocytes in the hemolysis tests. The study of nanoscale composites led the research for the methods of hemostasis.

Abstract
Natural polymer materials have attracted great attention in the field of hemostasis because of their wide range of source, nontoxicity, hydrophilicity, and air permeability. In the present study, two natural polymers composed of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) and sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMCNa) plus γ-(2,3-epoxypropoxy) propytrimethoxysilane (KH560) that serves as a crosslinking agent were selected to synthesize a capillary-mimicking composite hemostatic (CCK) sponge with a low density, interconnected microchannel architecture, suitable mechanical strength, high resilience, and ultrastrong liquid absorption capacity. The introduction of a large number of hydrophilic carboxymethyl functional groups and the design of capillary-mimicking structures formed by the ice segregation-induced self-assembly (ISISA) process endowed the CCK sponges with an ultrastrong liquid absorption capacity, which significantly enhanced the hemostatic ability of the materials. Both in vivo and in vitro hemostatic experiments confirmed the potential of the CCK sponges to achieve rapid hemostasis. Additionally, cytotoxicity and hemolysis assays showed that the CCK sponges exhibited good biocompatibility and hemocompatibility. The possible hemostatic mechanism was also discussed in this study. In conclusion, the capillary-mimicking hemostatic sponge exhibits a high potential to induce rapid hemostasis in prehospital emergency and clinical settings. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In the present study, an oriented composite hemostatic (CCK) sponge with a capillary-mimicking structure formed by the ice segregation-induced self-assembly (ISISA) process was designed and used to achieve rapid hemostasis. The unique aligned microchannel structure of the sponge exhibited an ultrastrong capillary-mimicking action and endowed the prepared CCK hemostatic sponge with a strong liquid absorption capacity. By changing the proportion of raw materials, we could modify the unique capillary-mimicking structure with aligned microchannels. Two natural polymer-based materials with abundant hydrophilic groups were chosen to prepare the CCK sponge to fully utilize the characteristics of this structure. The oriented natural polymer-based porous sponge with capillary-mimicking microchannels exhibited a strong hemostatic ability in both in vivo and in vitro tests. The results showed that the CCK sponge with the capillary-mimicking structure has a high potential to achieve rapid hemostasis.

Abstract
An uncontrolled hemorrhage can easily lead to death during surgery and military operations. Despite the significant advances in hemostatic research, there is still an urgent and increasing need for safer and more effective hemostatic materials. Recently, nanotechnologies have been receiving increasing interest owing to their unique advantages and have been propelling the developement of hemostatic materials. This review summarizes the fundamentals of hemostasis and emphasizes the recent developments regarding hemorrhage-related hemostatic nanotechnologies. In terms of external accessible hemorrhage management, natural and synthetic polymers and inorganic components that have been used in traditional hemostats provide novel nanoscale solutions. Regarding internal noncompressible hemorrhage management, current research endeavors are dedicated to the development of substitutes for blood components, and nanoformulated hemostatic drugs. This review also briefly discusses the main and persistent problems of hemostatic nanomaterials, including safety concerns and clinical translation challenges. This review is hoped to provide critical insight into hemostatic nanomaterial development.
