Abstract
Chronic wounds such as diabetic ulcers are a major complication in diabetes caused by hyperglycemia, prolonged inflammation, high oxidative stress, and bacterial bioburden. Bioactive biopolymers have been found to have a biological response in wound tissue microenvironments and are used for developing advanced tissue engineering strategies to enhance wound healing. These biopolymers possess innate bioactivity and are biodegradable, with favourable mechanical properties. However, their bioactivity is highly dependent on their structural properties, which need to be carefully considered while developing wound healing strategies. Biopolymers such as alginate, chitosan, hyaluronic acid, and collagen have previously been used in wound healing solutions but the modulation of structural/physico-chemical properties for differential bioactivity have not been the prime focus. Factors such as molecular weight, degree of polymerization, amino acid sequences, and hierarchical structures can have a spectrum of immunomodulatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-oxidant properties that could determine the fate of the wound. The current narrative review addresses the structure-function relationship in bioactive biopolymers for promoting healing in chronic wounds with emphasis on diabetic ulcers. This review highlights the need for characterization of the biopolymers under research while designing biomaterials to maximize the inherent bioactive potency for better tissue regeneration outcomes, especially in the context of diabetic ulcers.

Abstract
The unique network characteristics and stimuli responsiveness of supramolecular hydrogels have rendered them highly advantageous in the field of wound dressings, showcasing unprecedented potential. However, there are few reports on a comprehensive review of supramolecular hydrogel dressings for wound repair and hemostasis. This review first introduces the major cross-linking methods for supramolecular hydrogels, which includes hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic interactions, host-guest interactions, metal ligand coordination and some other interactions. Then, we review the advanced materials reported in recent years and then summarize the basic principles of each cross-linking method. Next, we classify the network structures of supramolecular hydrogels before outlining their forming process and propose their potential future directions. Furthermore, we also discuss the raw materials, structural design principles, and material characteristics used to achieve the advanced functions of supramolecular hydrogels, such as antibacterial function, tissue adhesion, substance delivery, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant functions, cell behavior regulation, angiogenesis promotion, hemostasis and other innovative functions in recent years. Finally, the existing problems as well as future development directions of the cross-linking strategy, network design, and functions in wound repair and hemostasis of supramolecular hydrogels are discussed. This review is proposed to stimulate further exploration of supramolecular hydrogels on wound repair and hemostasis by researchers in the future.

Abstract
Natural organisms, such as lobsters, lotus, and humans, exhibit exceptional mechanical properties due to their ordered structures. However, traditional hydrogels have limitations in their mechanical and physical properties due to their disordered molecular structures when compared with natural organisms. Therefore, inspired by nature and the properties of hydrogels similar to those of biological soft tissues, researchers are increasingly focusing on how to investigate bionic ordered structured hydrogels and render them as bioengineering soft materials with unique mechanical properties. In this paper, we systematically introduce the various structure types, design strategies, and optimization mechanisms used to enhance the strength, toughness, and anti-fatigue properties of bionic ordered structured hydrogels in recent years. We further review the potential applications of bionic ordered structured hydrogels in various fields, including sensors, bioremediation materials, actuators, and impact-resistant materials. Finally, we summarize the challenges and future development prospects of bionic ordered structured hydrogels in preparation and applications.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1221705. [PMID: 37664860 PMCID: PMC10470649 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1221705] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a major complication of diabetes and is associated with a high risk of lower limb amputation and mortality. During their lifetime, 19%-34% of patients with diabetes can develop DFU. It is estimated that 61% of DFU become infected and 15% of those with DFU require amputation. Furthermore, developing a DFU increases the risk of mortality by 50%-68% at 5 years, higher than some cancers. Current standard management of DFU includes surgical debridement, the use of topical dressings and wound decompression, vascular assessment, and glycemic control. Among these methods, local treatment with dressings builds a protective physical barrier, maintains a moist environment, and drains the exudate from DFU wounds. This review summarizes the development, pathophysiology, and healing mechanisms of DFU. The latest research progress and the main application of dressings in laboratory and clinical stage are also summarized. The dressings discussed in this review include traditional dressings (gauze, oil yarn, traditional Chinese medicine, and others), basic dressings (hydrogel, hydrocolloid, sponge, foam, film agents, and others), bacteriostatic dressings, composite dressings (collagen, nanomaterials, chitosan dressings, and others), bioactive dressings (scaffold dressings with stem cells, decellularized wound matrix, autologous platelet enrichment plasma, and others), and dressings that use modern technology (3D bioprinting, photothermal effects, bioelectric dressings, microneedle dressings, smart bandages, orthopedic prosthetics and regenerative medicine). The dressing management challenges and limitations are also summarized. The purpose of this review is to help readers understand the pathogenesis and healing mechanism of DFU, help physicians select dressings correctly, provide an updated overview of the potential of biomaterials and devices and their application in DFU management, and provide ideas for further exploration and development of dressings. Proper use of dressings can promote DFU healing, reduce the cost of treating DFU, and reduce patient pain.

Phase-change composite filled natural nanotubes in hydrogel promote wound healing under photothermally triggered drug release. Bioact Mater 2023; 21:284-298.

Abstract
It is of great importance to treat a bacterial-infected wound by a smart dressing capable of delivering antibiotics in a smart manner without causing drug resistance. The construction of smart release nanocontainers responsive to near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation in an on-demand and stepwise way is a promising strategy for avoiding the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Here, we develop a hydrogel composite made of alginate and nanotubes with an efficient NIR-triggered release of rifampicin and outstanding antibacterial ability. This composite hydrogel is prepared through co-encapsulating antibacterial drug (rifampicin), NIR-absorbing dye (indocyanine green), and phase-change materials (a eutectic mixture of fatty acids) into halloysite nanotubes, followed by incorporation into alginate hydrogels, allowing the in-situ gelation at room temperature and maintaining the integrity of drug-loaded nanotubes. Among them, the eutectic mixture with a melting point of 39 °C serves as the biocompatible phase-change material to facilitate the NIR-triggered drug release. The resultant phase-change material gated-nanotubes exhibit a prominent photothermal efficiency with multistep drug release under laser irradiation. In an in vitro assay, composite hydrogel provides good antibacterial potency against Staphylococcus aureus, one of the most prevalent microorganisms of dangerous gas gangrene. A bacterial-infected rat full-thickness wound model demonstrates that the NIR-responsive composite hydrogel inhibits the bacteria colonization and suppresses the inflammatory response caused by bacteria, promoting angiogenesis and collagen deposition to accelerate wound regeneration. The NIR-responsive composite hydrogel has a great potential as an antibacterial wound dressing functionalized with controlled multistep treatment of the infected sites. Phase change material-gated nanocontainer exhibits an efficient NIR-triggered release of drugs. Photothermal-responsive hydrogel shows efficient antibacterial properties through the NIR-responsive step-wise antibacterial drug release. In vivo, photothermal-responsive hydrogel inhibits bacterial proliferation and effectively suppress the inflammatory response caused by bacteria, thus accelerating bacteria-infected wound regeneration. Various types of drugs and biological effectors can be loaded in the nanotubes while the hydrogel matrix can also be regulated to achieve multiple healing functions.

Abstract
Wounds can cause many disorders and affect the quality of health, so it is necessary to develop wound dressings that have a role in accelerating the healing process. Wound dressings have evolved over time, and today there are many types of wound dressings that can suit the type of wound the patient has. This review discusses the development, types, and research directions of wound dressings from calcium alginate (CaAlg), using bibliometric analysis with time intervals from 1982 to 2021. It was found that, in the late 1990s, research related to this matter began to increase. United Kingdom, United States, China, Japan, and Italy are the five most influential countries. And from the results of the keyword analysis, it was found that, in addition to studying the general properties of wound dressings, currently there are many developments related to the structure of the material as well as the effect of adding drugs to wound dressings, so that the current study also displays various characterizations.

Abstract
The large amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by high glucose metabolism in diabetic patients not only induces inflammation but also damages blood vessels, finally resulting in low limb temperature, and the high glucose environment in diabetic patients also makes them susceptible to bacterial infection. Therefore, diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) usually presents as a nonhealing wound. To efficaciously prevent and treat DFU, we proposed a near-infrared (NIR) responsive microneedle (MN) patch hierarchical microparticle (HMP)-ZnO-MN-vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor (H-Z-MN-VEGF&bFGF), which could deliver drugs to the limbs painlessly, accurately, and controllably under NIR irradiation. Therein, the hair-derived HMPs exhibited the capacity of scavenging ROS, thereby preventing damage to the blood vessels. Meanwhile, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles endowed the MN patch with excellent antibacterial activity which could be further enhanced with the photothermal effect of HMPs under NIR irradiation. Moreover, vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor could promote the angiogenesis. A series of experiments proved that the MN patch exhibited broad-spectrum antibacterial and anti-inflammatory capacities. In vivo, it obviously increased the temperature of fingertips in diabetic rats as well as promoted collagen deposition and angiogenesis during wound healing. In conclusion, this therapeutic platform provides a promising method for the prevention and treatment of DFU.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds are one of the most challenging public health issues of the 21st century due to their inadequate vascular supply, bacterial infections, high levels of oxidative stress, and abnormalities in antioxidant defenses, whereas there is no effective treatment for diabetic wounds. Due to the distinct properties of nanoparticles, such as their small particle size, elevated cellular uptake, low cytotoxicity, antibacterial activity, good biocompatibility, and biodegradability. The application of nanoparticles has been widely used in the treatment of diabetic wound healing due to their superior anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant activities. These nanoparticles can also be loaded with various agents, such as organic molecules (eg, exosomes, small molecule compounds, etc.), inorganic molecules (metals, nonmetals, etc.), or complexed with various biomaterials, such as smart hydrogels (HG), chitosan (CS), and hyaluronic acid (HA), to augment their therapeutic potential in diabetic wounds. This paper reviews the therapeutic potential and future perspective of nanoparticles in the treatment of diabetic wounds. Together, nanoparticles represent a promising strategy in the treatment of diabetic wound healing. The future direction may be to develop novel nanoparticles with multiple effects that not only act in wound healing at all stages of diabetes but also provide a stable physiological environment throughout the wound-healing process.

Abstract
Propolis is a natural resin that is produced by bees. It has anti-inflammatory and antibiotic properties, promotes reepithelization, and stimulates skin regeneration. Propolis has great potential for the development of new therapeutic approaches to treat skin ulcers. The present study performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies of the use of propolis for the regeneration of cutaneous wounds and its efficacy as a therapeutic agent. Data were collected from articles in the PubMed, SCOPUS, and Web of Science databases that were published since 1900 by searching the terms "propolis" AND "wound healing." This search yielded 633 articles, of which 43 were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The results showed that interest in the therapeutic efficacy of propolis has increased over the years. The studies reported that the propolis was effective for the treatment of skin ulcers by promoting a higher percentage of healing than classically employed interventions. The mode of propolis application has also evolved. An increasing number of studies combined it with other substances and materials to achieve additive or synergistic effects on the skin regeneration process. Propolis appears to be an effective therapeutic alternative for the treatment of skin ulcers.

Abstract
Obtaining a sustainable drug delivery system is a challenging issue in biomedical science. This became even more important in the wound regeneration process due to its long treatment process. In this study, the calcium alginate (CaAlg) hydrogel is coated on the surface of polycaprolactone (PCL)/gelatin (Gel) nanofibers containing coconut oil (CO) using the impregnation method. The physical, chemical, and morphological properties of produced samples are investigated using different characterization techniques to verify the influence of hydrogel. Water contact angle, swelling ratio, and water vapor permeability measurements are used to evaluate the effect of hydrogel on the hydrophilicity of the proposed system. The cell viability test showed that the nanocomposite hydrogel is biocompatible and could improve wound healing. According to drug release studies, hydrogel addition to the nanofiber system plays an essential role in controlling CO release rate in the first 250 h. In vivo studies also indicated faster skin regeneration.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex process and rapid healing necessitates a proper micro-environment. Therefore, design and fabrication of an efficacious wound dressing is an impressive innovation in the field of wound healing. The fabricated wound dressing in this scenario was designed using a combination of the appropriate coagulating and anti-bacterial materials like fibrinogen (as coagulating agent), nisin (as anti-bacterial agent), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (as anti-bacterial agent), and alginate (as wound healing agent). Biophysical characterization showed that the interaction of fibrinogen and alginate was associated with minor changes in the secondary structure of the protein. Conformational studies showed that the protein was structurally stable at 42 °C, is the maximum temperature of the infected wound. The properties of the hydrogel such as swelling, mechanical resistance, nisin release, antibacterial activity, cytotoxicity, gel porosity, and blood coagulation were assessed. The results showed a slow release for the nisin during 48 h. Antibacterial studies showed an inhibitory effect on the growth of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. The hydrogel was also capable to absorb a considerable amount of water and provide oxygenation as well as incorporation of the drug into its structure due to its sufficient porosity. Scanning electron microscopy showed pore sizes of about 14–198 µm in the hydrogel. Cell viability studies indicated high biocompatibility of the hydrogel. Blood coagulation test also confirmed the effectiveness of the synthesized hydrogel in accelerating the process of blood clot formation. In vivo studies showed higher rates of wound healing, re-epithelialization, and collagen deposition. According to the findings from in vitro as well as in vivo studies, the designed hydrogel can be considered as a novel attractive wound dressing after further prerequisite assessments.

Abstract
In the present work we compared the biological activity of mandelic acid (MA) and its Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs salts. The study also investigated the effect of raw wastewaters (RW) and treated wastewaters (TW), comparable to microbial medium (MM) on the biological activity of the tested chemical compounds used in concentrations of 5; 2.5; 1.25; 0.625; 0.3125 mg/ml. In the present experiment the evaluation of the following parameters was performed: E. coli (ATCC 25922) cells viability, growth inhibition of E. coli (ATCC 25922), the inhibition of GFP protein, genotoxicity and ROS generation. Our results showed that three main factors differentiated the antibacterial activity of MA and its Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs salts: study environment (MM, RW, TW), metal forming salt of mandelic acid and concentration of tested compounds. Additionally, raw and treated wastewater, compared to microbial medium, changes the antimicrobial activity of MA and its salts in relation to the E. coli strain. We also detected that both MA and its salts affect the GFP protein and the induction of the recA promoter (genotoxicity test). The activity of the tested salts in relation to these two parameters is strictly dependent on the type of salt-forming metal and the concentration used. The analysis of ROS synthesis suggests that in the majority of the studied mandelic acid salts, oxidative stress is the dominant mechanism of cytotoxicity and genotoxicity. We also showed that both raw wastewaters (RW) and treated wastewaters (TW), compared to microbial medium (MM), change significantly the activity of MA and its salts.

J Appl Microbiol 2022; 133:436-447. [PMID: 35332963 DOI: 10.1111/jam.15547] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2021] [Revised: 03/08/2022] [Accepted: 03/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the effect of Bacillus subtilis WB800N on diabetic wounds. METHODS Hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) staining was used to observe the healing of skin wounds. Collagen deposition was assessed by Masson staining. Western blotting and qRT-PCR were used to detect vascular endothelial-related factors (VWF), CD31, TLR2, NLRP3, ASC, and Caspase-1 expression. 16S rDNA sequencing detected microbiota distribution. The concentrations of IL-1β and IL-37 were measured by ELISA. Apoptosis was measured by the TUNEL assay. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the wound healing was delayed in diabetic mice. The wound area in the Bacillus subtilis group decreased more significantly than the diabetic wounds group. H&E staining showed that Bacillus subtilis WB800N promoted wound healing and increased re-epithelialization. Masson staining showed that Bacillus subtilis WB800N increased collagen deposition in diabetic wounds mice. Bacillus subtilis WB800N upregulated VWF and CD31 protein expression in diabetic wounds mice. The 16S rDNA results showed that Bacillus subtilis WB800N reduced the diversity of the gut microbiota of diabetic wounds mice and regulated the microbial composition. At the genus level, Bacillus subtilis WB800N reduced the relative abundance of Muribaculaceae and CG-005 in diabetic wounds mice, while increasing the relative abundance of Lactobacillus. Bacillus subtilis WB800N increased the expression of TLR2, NLRP3, ASC, and Caspase-1. Bacillus subtilis WB800N increased the concentrations of IL-1β and IL-37 in serum. Bacillus subtilis WB800N upregulated cell apoptosis. The TLR2 antagonist Sparstolonin B (SsnB) reduced the expression of TLR2, NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1, IL-1β, and IL-37 and the apoptosis in diabetic wounds mice, while the combined intervention of Bacillus subtilis and SsnB reversed the effect of SsnB treatment alone. CONCLUSION Bacillus subtilis WB800N alleviated diabetic wounds healing by regulating gut microbiota homeostasis and TLR2. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF RESEARCH Our findings might provide potential therapeutic targets for diabetic wounds.

[PMID: 35323292 PMCID: PMC8948717 DOI: 10.3390/gels8030179] [Citation(s) in RCA: 70] [Impact Index Per Article: 35.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2022] [Revised: 03/09/2022] [Accepted: 03/10/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing is well acknowledged to constitute an important technology in tissue engineering, largely due to the increasing global demand for organ replacement and tissue regeneration. In 3D bioprinting, which is a step ahead of 3D biomaterial printing, the ink employed is impregnated with cells, without compromising ink printability. This allows for immediate scaffold cellularization and generation of complex structures. The use of cell-laden inks or bio-inks provides the opportunity for enhanced cell differentiation for organ fabrication and regeneration. Recognizing the importance of such bio-inks, the current study comprehensively explores the state of the art of the utilization of bio-inks based on natural polymers (biopolymers), such as cellulose, agarose, alginate, decellularized matrix, in 3D bioprinting. Discussions regarding progress in bioprinting, techniques and approaches employed in the bioprinting of natural polymers, and limitations and prospects concerning future trends in human-scale tissue and organ fabrication are also presented.

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with unbalanced immune responses in skin tissue. Although steroid drugs and antihistamines are generally used to treat AD, continuous administration causes multiple side effects. High oxidative stress derived from reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of AD. A high level of ROS promotes the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and T-cell differentiation, resulting in the onset and deterioration of AD. Here, we report a therapeutic hydrogel patch suppressing the high oxidative stress generated in AD lesions. The hydrogel embedded with ROS-scavenging ceria nanoparticles leads to the decrease of both extracellular and intracellular ROS and exhibits cytoprotective effects in a highly oxidative condition. AD-induced mouse model studies show enhanced therapeutic outcomes, including a decrease in the epidermal thickness and levels of AD-associated immunological biomarkers. These findings indicate that a ROS-scavenging hydrogel could be a promising therapeutic hydrogel patch for treating and managing AD.

Abstract
Herein, the dopamine (DA) was grafted with oxidized sodium alginate (OSA) via Schiff base reduction reaction, aiming to fabricate novel DA-grafted OSA (OSA-DA) hydrogels with enhanced biocompatibility and suitable adhesion for clinical applications. The chemical structures of OSA-DA were characterized via UV-Vis, FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopy analysis. The hydrogel characteristics, biocompatibility, as well as the chronic diabetic wound healing efficacy were investigated. Our results demonstrated that DA was grafted with OSA successfully with highest grafting rate of 7.50%. Besides, OSA-DA hydrogels possessed suitable swelling ratio and appropriate adhesion characteristics. Additionally, OSA-DA exhibited satisfactory cytocompatibility and cell affinity in L-929 cells, and superior biocompatibility in SD rats. Moreover, OSA-DA exerted remarkable promoting effects on migration and tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Studies on full-thickness excision chronic diabetic wounds further revealed that OSA-DA hydrogels could accelerate healing via promoting angiogenesis, reducing inflammation response, and stimulating collagen deposition. Overall, our studies would provide basis for SA-based hydrogels as clinical wound dressings.

Abstract
Bacterial infection and its induced oxidative stress as major clinical challenge during wound healing call for an urgent response for the development of medical dressings with multi-functions, such as antioxidant and antibacterial. To meet this demand, copper metal organic framework nanoparticles (HKUST NPs) and carboxymethyl chitosan-g-glutathione (CMCs-GSH) were synthesized and characterized. By embedding HKUST NPs into PAM/CMCs-GSH hydrogel (AOH), we developed a novel hydrogel dressing (HKUST-Hs) with dual effects of antibacterial and antioxidant. The morphology, swelling behavior, oxidation resistance and antibacterial properties of HKUST-Hs were investigated as well as the slow-release behavior of copper ions. Full-thickness cutaneous wound model of rats was created to assess the promoting effect of HKUST-Hs on wound healing. We found that HKUST NPs could be well dispersed in HKUST-Hs by shielding the positive charge of copper ions, and thus copper ions released were uniformly distributed and chelated with CMCs-GSH to promote the swelling stability of HKUST-Hs. Also, HKUST-Hs exhibited good free radical scavenging ability in vitro antioxidant assay. Meanwhile, a gradient sustained-release system of copper ions was formed in HKUST-Hs owing to the inhibition of HKUST NPs to copper release and the chelation of CMCs-GSH, which effectively inhibited the explosive release of copper ions and prolonged the release period, thereby reducing cytotoxicity. In vitro antibacterial test demonstrated there was synergistic antibacterial effect between the slow-released copper ions and CMCs-GSH, which improved the antibacterial activity and antibacterial persistence of HKUST-Hs. Finally, HKUST-Hs accelerated wound healing in vivo by continuously killing bacteria and inhibiting oxidative stress.

Abstract
Hydrogels, due to their excellent biochemical and mechnical property, have shown attractive advantages in the field of wound dressings. However, a comprehensive review of the functional hydrogel as a wound dressing is still lacking. This work first summarizes the skin wound healing process and relates evaluation parameters and then reviews the advanced functions of hydrogel dressings such as antimicrobial property, adhesion and hemostasis, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidation, substance delivery, self-healing, stimulus response, conductivity, and the recently emerged wound monitoring feature, and the strategies adopted to achieve these functions are all classified and discussed. Furthermore, applications of hydrogel wound dressing for the treatment of different types of wounds such as incisional wound and the excisional wound are summarized. Chronic wounds are also mentioned, and the focus of attention on infected wounds, burn wounds, and diabetic wounds is discussed. Finally, the future directions of hydrogel wound dressings for wound healing are further proposed.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds are one complication of persistent hyperglycemia and lead to neuropathy and vascular lesions in patients. The promotion of angiogenesis plays an important role in wound healing. Cell-free fat extract (Ceffe) is a cell-free fraction isolated from adipose that is enriched with a range of growth factors, the combination of which can synergistically induce angiogenesis. In this study, we prepared a wound dressing by loading Ceffe with the γ-PGA hydrogel (Ceffe-γ-PGA) to promote the healing of wounds in diabetic mice. The viscosity of Ceffe-γ-PGA was 9.2 pa s, and the water retention rate after 6 hours reached 50%. The slow-release effect of the Ceffe-γ-PGA hydrogel was investigated in vitro in PBS, and the cumulative release rate was 97% after 6 days. Water retention and viscosity analyses revealed that Ceffe-γ-PGA provided a moist environment for the wound surface. The therapeutic effect of the Ceffe-γ-PGA hydrogel on wound healing was studied in vivo in type-II diabetic male db/db mice. After 17 days of wound treatment, the wound area ratio of the Ceffe-γ-PGA group was reduced to 2% of the original, and the capillary density of the Ceffe-γ-PGA group reached 33 mm-2 and was 19 mm-2 higher than that of the untreated group. The cell proliferation rate in the Ceffe-γ-PGA group was 37% higher than that in the untreated group. These results support the use of this system as a promising therapeutic strategy for wound healing in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Dysangiogenesis and chronic inflammation are two critical reasons for diabetic foot ulcers. Desferrioxamine (DFO) was used clinically in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers by repeated injections because of its capacity to induce vascularization. Biocompatible carriers that release DFO slowly and facilitate healing simultaneously are preferable options to accelerate the healing of diabetic wounds. Here, DFO-laden silk nanofiber hydrogels that provided a sustained release of DFO for more than 40 days were used to treat diabetic wounds. The DFO-laden hydrogels stimulated the healing of diabetic wounds. In vitro cell studies revealed that the DFO-laden hydrogels modulated the migration and gene expression of endothelial cells, and they also tuned the inflammation behavior of macrophages. These results were confirmed in an in vivo diabetic wound model. The DFO-laden hydrogels alleviated dysangiogenesis and chronic inflammation in the diabetic wounds, resulting in a more rapid wound healing and increased collagen deposition. Both in vitro and in vivo studies suggested potential clinical applications of these DFO-laden hydrogels in the treatment of diabetic ulcers.

Bioact Mater 2021; 6:299-311. [PMID: 32954049 PMCID: PMC7471623 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2020.08.007] [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: 05/22/2020] [Revised: 07/13/2020] [Accepted: 08/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Psoriasis is a long-lasting and recurrent autoimmune disease which is incurable so far. Dead Sea water (DSW) therapy is an effective approach to help control the symptoms of psoriasis due to the abundant mineral ions in DSW, which inspired the material formulation in this study. Rubidium-Sodium alginate/Polyacrylamide hydrogels (Rb-SA/PAAm gels) composed of sodium alginate and polyacrylamide interpenetrating network structure with different concentrations of rubidium and certain magnesium and zinc content were prepared for the treatment of psoriasis. The obtained results suggest the good mechanical properties of the Rb-SA/PAAm gels including toughness and swelling performance. In terms of in vitro tests, the Rb-SA/PAAm gels not only show nontoxicity to human keratinocyte cell line (Hacats) but also inhibits the activity against inflammatory NF-κβ signaling pathway. Meanwhile, they can release Rb+ which enable the Rb-SA/PAAm gels have better antibacterial ability to Streptococcus and Escherichia coli. The results obtained from in vivo tests indicate that these hydrogels could alleviate the symptoms of psoriasis caused by Imiquimod (IMQ) in mice by reducing the inflammatory factor in STAT3 pathway and therefore reduce the immune stimulation of the spleen. In conclusion, the 100Rb-SA/PAAm gel has demonstrated great potential to be a topical wettable dressing for psoriasis treatment.

Abstract
Diabetic wound shows delayed and incomplete healing processes, which in turn exposes patients to an environment with a high risk of infection. This article has summarized current developments of nanoparticles/hydrogels and nanotechnology used for promoting the wound healing process in either diabetic animal models or patients with diabetes mellitus. These nanoparticles/hydrogels promote diabetic wound healing by loading bioactive molecules (such as growth factors, genes, proteins/peptides, stem cells/exosomes, etc.) and non-bioactive substances (metal ions, oxygen, nitric oxide, etc.). Among them, smart hydrogels (a very promising method for loading many types of bioactive components) are currently favored by researchers. In addition, nanoparticles/hydrogels can be combined with some technology (including PTT, LBL self-assembly technique and 3D-printing technology) to treat diabetic wound repair. By reviewing the recent literatures, we also proposed new strategies for improving multifunctional treatment of diabetic wounds in the future.

Abstract
Acute and chronic wounds cause severe physical trauma to patients and also bring an immense socio-economic burden. Hydrogels are considered to be effective wound dressings. Polysaccharides possessing distinctive properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and nontoxicity are promising candidates to structure hydrogels for wound healing. Polysaccharide-based hydrogels can provide suitable moisture for the wound and act as a shield against bacteria. Adequate mechanical properties, degradability, and therapeutic agent controlled release of polysaccharide-based hydrogels have been already characterized for effective utilization. This review presented several crucial design considerations about hydrogels for wound healing, and the current state of polysaccharide (chitosan, alginate, hyaluronic acid, cellulose, dextran, and starch)-based hydrogels as wound dressings was also summarized. The commonly used crosslinking techniques, including physical, chemical, and enzymatic crosslinking, are discussed in detail. Finally, we outline the challenges and perspectives about the improvement of polysaccharide-based hydrogels.

Abstract
Nanocomposites have been widely applied in medical device fabrication and tissue-engineering applications. In this context, the release of metal ions as well as protein adsorption capacity are hypothesized to be two key processes directing nanocomposite-cell interactions. The objective of this study is to understand the polymer-matrix effects on ion release kinetics and their relations with protein adsorption. Laser ablation in macromolecule solutions was employed for synthesizing Au and Fe nanoparticle-loaded nanocomposites based on thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and alginate. Confocal microscopy revealed a three-dimensional homogeneous dispersion of laser-generated nanoparticles in the polymer. The physicochemical properties revealed a pronounced dependence upon embedding of Fe and Au nanoparticles in both polymer matrices. Interestingly, the total Fe ion concentration released from alginate gels under static conditions decreased with increasing mass loadings, a phenomenon only found in the Fe-alginate system and not in the Cu/Zn-alginate and Fe-TPU control system (where the effects were proportioonal to the nanoparticle load). A detailed mechanistic examination of iron the ion release process revealed that it is probably not the redox potential of metals and diffusion of metal ions alone, but also the solubility of nano-metal oxides and affinity of metal ions for alginate that lead to the special release behaviors of iron ions from alginate gels. The amount of adsorbed bovine serum albumin (BSA) and collagen I on the surface of both the alginate and TPU composites was significantly increased in contrast to the unloaded control polymers and could be correlated with the concentration of released Fe ions and the porosity of composites, but was independent of the global surface charge. Interestingly, these effects were already highly pronounced at minute loadings with Fe nanoparticles down to 200 ppm. Moreover, the laser-generated Fe or Au nanoparticle-loaded alginate composites were shown to be a suitable bioink for 3D printing. These findings are potentially relevant for ion-sensitive bio-responses in cell differentiation, endothelisation, vascularisation, or wound healing.

Abstract
Wound healing is usually accompanied by bacterial infection. The excessive use of synthetic antibiotics leads to drug resistance, posing a significant threat to human health. Hydrogel-based wound dressings aimed at mitigating bacterial infections have emerged as an effective wound treatment. The review presented herein particularly focuses on the hydrogels originating from natural polymers. To further enhance the performance of wound dressings, various strategies and approaches have been developed to endow the hydrogels with excellent broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Those that are summarized in the current review are the hydrogels with intrinsic or stimuli-triggered bactericidal properties and others that serve as vehicles for loading antibacterial agents without synthetic antibiotics. Specific attention is paid to antimicrobial mechanisms and the antibacterial performance of hydrogels. Practical antibacterial applications to accelerate the wound healing employing these antibiotic-free hydrogels are also introduced along with the discussion on the current challenges and perspectives leading to new technologies.
