[PMID: 38763724 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Revised: 03/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024]
Abstract
Chitosan (CS) aerogels are highly porous (∼99 %), exhibit ultralow density, and are excellent sorbents for removing ionic pollutants and oils/organic solvents from water. Their abundant hydroxyl and amino groups facilitate the adsorption of ionic pollutants through electrostatic interaction, complexation and chelation mechanisms. Selection of suitable surface wettability is the way to separate oils/organic solvents from water. This review summarizes the most recent developments in improving the adsorption performance, mechanical strength and regeneration of CS aerogels. The structure of the paper follows the extraction of chitosan, preparation and sorption characteristics of CS aerogels for heavy metal ions, organic dyes, and oils/organic solvents, sequentially. A detailed analysis of the parameters that influence the adsorption/absorption performance of CS aerogels is carried out and their effective control for improving the performance is suggested. The analysis of research outcomes of the recently published data came up with some interesting facts that the unidirectional pore structure and characteristics of the functional group of the aerogel and pH of the adsorbate have led to the enhanced adsorption performance of the CS aerogel. Finally, the excerpts of the literature survey highlighting the difficulties and potential of CS aerogels for water remediation are proposed.

Synthesis and real-time characterization of self-healing, injectable, fast-gelling hydrogels based on alginate multi-reducing end polysaccharides (MREPs). Carbohydr Polym 2024; 338:122172. [PMID: 38763719 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Revised: 04/13/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024]
Abstract
Polysaccharide-based hydrogels are promising for many biomedical applications including drug delivery, wound healing, and tissue engineering. We illustrate herein self-healing, injectable, fast-gelling hydrogels prepared from multi-reducing end polysaccharides, recently introduced by the Edgar group. Simple condensation of reducing ends from multi-reducing end alginate (M-Alg) with amines from polyethylene imine (PEI) in water affords a dynamic, hydrophilic polysaccharide network. Trace amounts of acetic acid can accelerate the gelation time from hours to seconds. The fast-gelation behavior is driven by rapid Schiff base formation and strong ionic interactions induced by acetic acid. A cantilever rheometer enables real-time monitoring of changes in viscoelastic properties during hydrogel formation. The reversible nature of these crosslinks (imine bonds, ionic interactions) provides a hydrogel with low toxicity in cell studies as well as self-healing and injectable properties. Therefore, the self-healing, injectable, and fast-gelling M-Alg/PEI hydrogel holds substantial promise for biomedical, agricultural, controlled release, and other applications.

Abstract
The main objective of this work is to synthesize multifunctional nanodendritic structural molecules that can effectively encapsulate hydrophilic as well as hydrophobic therapeutic agents. Four different types of fourth-generation lysine-citric acid based dendrimer have been synthesized in this work: PE-MC-Lys-CA-PEG, TMP-MC-Lys-CA-PEG, PE-MS-Lys-CA-PEG, and TMP-MS-Lys-CA-PEG. The antibacterial drug cefotaxime (CFTX) was further conjugated to these dendrimers. The dendrimer and drug-dendrimer conjugate structures were characterized with the help of FTIR,1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Zeta sizer, AFM, and HR-TEM techniques were used to investigate the particle size, surface topography, and structural characteristics of drug-dendrimer conjugates. In vitro drug release was then investigated using dialysis method. Various kinetic drug release models were examined to evaluate the type of kinetic drug release mechanism of the formulations. Cytotoxicity study revealed that the dendrimers encapsulated with CFTX exhibited 2-3% toxicity against healthy epithelial cells, indicating their safe use. Plain dendrimers show 10-15% hemolytic toxicity against red blood cells (RBC), and the toxicity was reduced to 2-3% when CFTX was conjugated to the same dendrimers. The 3rd and 4th generation synthesized drug-dendrimer conjugates exhibit a significantly effective zone of inhibition (ZOI) against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. For Gram-positive bacteria, the lower concentration of 0.1 mg/mL showed more than 98% inhibition of drug-dendrimer conjugate samples against B. subtilis and more than 50% inhibition against S. aureus using 0.2 mg/mL, respectively. Moreover, samples with concentrations of 0.5 and 1.0 mg/mL exhibited more than 50% inhibition against S. typhimurium and E. coli, respectively.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality in females. There are many side effects due to chemotherapy and traditional surgery, like fatigue, loss of appetite, skin irritation, and drug resistance to cancer cells. Immunotherapy has become a hopeful approach toward cancer treatment, generating long-lasting immune responses in malignant tumor patients. Recently, hydrogel has received more attention toward cancer therapy due to its specific characteristics, such as decreased toxicity, fewer side effects, and better biocompatibility drug delivery to the particular tumor location. Researchers globally reported various investigations on hydrogel research for tumor diagnosis. The hydrogel-based multilayer platform with controlled nanostructure has received more attention for its antitumor effect. Chitosan and alginate play a leading role in the formation of the cross-link in a hydrogel. Also, they help in the stability of the hydrogel. This review discusses the properties, preparation, biocompatibility, and bioavailability of various research and clinical approaches of the multipolymer hydrogel made of alginate and chitosan for breast cancer treatment. With a focus on cases of breast cancer and the recovery rate, there is a need to find out the role of hydrogel in drug delivery for breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
Hydrogels containing catechol group have received attention in the biomedical field due to their robust adhesive/cohesive capabilities, biocompatibility, and hemostatic abilities. Catechol-functionalized chitosan holds promise for preparing self-assembly hydrogels. However, issues of inefficient gelation and instability still persist in these hydrogels. In the current study, we synthesized chitosan catechol (CC) of high catechol substitution (∼28 %) and combined CC with tannic acid (TA, which also contains catechol) to form self-healing CC-TA hydrogels. The catechol-enriched CC-TA composite hydrogels showed rapid gelation and mechanical reinforcement (shear modulus ∼110 Pa). In situ coherent small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) coupled with rheometry revealed a morphological feature of mesoscale clusters (∼20 nm) within CC-TA hydrogel. The clusters underwent dynamic destruction under large-amplitude oscillatory shear, corresponding with the strain-dependent and self-healing behavior of the CC-TA hydrogel. The composite hydrogel had osmotic-responsive and notable adhesive properties. Meanwhile, CC-TA composite cryogel prepared simply through freeze-thawing procedures exhibited distinctive macroporous structure (∼200 μm), high water swelling ratio (∼7000 %), and favorable compressive modulus (∼8 kPa). The sponge-like cryogel was fabricated into swabs, demonstrating hemostatic capacity. The CC-TA composites, in both hydrogel and cryogel forms, possessed ROS scavenging ability, antimicrobial activity, and cell compatibility with potentials in biological applications.

Abstract
Different types of clinical wounds are difficult to treat while infected by bacteria. Wound repair involves multiple cellular and molecular interactions, which is a complicated process. However, wound repair often suffers from abnormal cellular functions or pathways that result in unavoidable side effects, so there is an urgent need for a material that can heal wounds quickly and with few side effects. Based on these needs, hydrogels with injectable properties have been confirmed to be able to undergo self-healing, which provides favorable conditions for wound healing. Notably, as a biopolymer with excellent easy-to-modify properties from a wide range of natural sources, chitosan can be used to prepare injectable hydrogel with multifunction for wound healing because of its outstanding flowability and injectability. Especially, chitosan-based hydrogels with marked biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and bio-adhesion properties are ideal for facilitating wound healing. In this review, the characteristics and healing mechanisms of different wounds are briefly summarized. In addition, the preparation and characterization of injectable chitosan hydrogels in recent years are classified. Additionally, the bioactive properties of this type of hydrogel in vitro and in vivo are demonstrated, and future trend in wound healing is prospected.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are biodegradable, abundant, sustainable, and often benign natural polymers. The achievement of selective modification of polysaccharides is important for targeting specific properties and structures and will benefit future development of highly functional, sustainable materials. The synthesis of polysaccharides containing aldehyde or ketone moieties is a promising tool for achieving this goal because of the rich chemistry of aldehyde or ketone groups, including Schiff base formation, nucleophilic addition, and reductive amination. The obtained polysaccharide aldehydes or ketones themselves have rich potential for making useful materials, such as self-healing hydrogels, polysaccharide-protein therapeutic conjugates, or drug delivery vehicles. Herein, we review recent advances in synthesizing polysaccharides containing aldehyde or ketone moieties and briefly introduce their reactivity and corresponding applications.

Abstract
In the current context of the increasing incidence of breast cancer, we aim to develop an efficient drug carrier for breast cancer by constructing an innovative complex consisting of a metal-organic framework (MOF) and a hydrogel. The aim of this initiative is to provide new ideas and tools for breast cancer treatment strategies through scientific research, so as to address the current challenges in breast cancer treatment. In the present study, by employment of a new Co(II)-based coordination polymer with the chemical formula of [Co(H2O)(CH3OH)L]n (1) (H2L = 5-(1 H-tetrazol-5-yl)nicotinic acid) was solvothermally synthesized by reaction of Co(NO3)2·6H2O a mixed solvent of MeOH and water. The characteristics of ligand-based absorption and emission, as unveiled by ultraviolet and fluorescence spectroscopy tests, offer insights into the distinctive electronic transitions and structural features originating from the ligand in compound 1. Using natural polysaccharide hyaluronic acid (HA) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) as raw materials, HA/CMCS hydrogels were successfully prepared by chemical method and their internal morphology was studied by scanning electron microscopy. Using paclitaxel as a drug model, we further designed and synthesized a novel metal gel particle-loaded paclitaxel drug and evaluated its inhibitory effect on breast cancer cells. Finally, the hypothesized interactions between the complex and the receptor have been confirmed through molecular docking simulation, and multiple polar interactions have been verified, which further proves the potential anti-cancer capability and excellent bioactivity. Based on this, this composite material prepared from a novel Co(II)-coordinated polymer with paclitaxel hydrogel could provide a useful pathway for the identification and treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
The emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, particularly resistant strains of Gram-negative bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, poses a significant threat to public health. Although antibacterial photodynamic therapy (APDT) is a promising strategy for combating drug-resistant bacteria, actively targeted photosensitizers (PSs) remain unknown. In this study, a PS based on dipicolylamine (DPA), known as WZK-DPA-Zn, is designed for the selective identification of P. aeruginosa and drug-resistant Gram-positive bacteria. WZK-DPA-Zn exploits the synergistic effects of DPA-Zn2+ coordination and cellular uptake, which could effectively anchor P. aeruginosa within a brief period (10 min) without interference from other Gram-negative bacteria. Simultaneously, the cationic nature of WZK-DPA-Zn enhances its interaction with Gram-positive bacteria via electrostatic forces. Compared to traditional clinical antibiotics, WZK-DPA-Zn shows exceptional antibacterial activity without inducing drug resistance. This effectiveness is achieved using the APDT strategy when irradiated with white light or sunlight. The combination of WZK-DPA-Zn with Pluronic-based thermosensitive hydrogel dressings (WZK-DPA-Zn@Gel) effectively eliminates mixed bacterial infections and accelerates wound healing, thereby achieving a synergistic effect where "1+1>2." In summary, this study proposes a precise strategy employing DPA-Zn as the targeting moiety of a PS, facilitating the rapid elimination of P. aeruginosa and drug-resistant Gram-positive bacteria using APDT.

Abstract
During the past two decades, tremendous progress has been made in the development of biodegradable polymeric materials for various industrial applications, including human and veterinary medicine. They are promising alternatives to commonly used non-degradable polymers to combat the global plastic waste crisis. Among biodegradable polymers used, or potentially applicable to, veterinary medicine are natural polysaccharides, such as chitin, chitosan, and cellulose as well as various polyesters, including poly(ε-caprolactone), polylactic acid, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), and polyhydroxyalkanoates produced by bacteria. They can be used as implants, drug carriers, or biomaterials in tissue engineering and wound management. Their use in veterinary practice depends on their biocompatibility, inertness to living tissue, mechanical resistance, and sorption characteristics. They must be designed specifically to fit their purpose, whether it be: (1) facilitating new tissue growth and allowing for controlled interactions with living cells or cell-growth factors, (2) having mechanical properties that address functionality when applied as implants, or (3) having controlled degradability to deliver drugs to their targeted location when applied as drug-delivery vehicles. This paper aims to present recent developments in the research on biodegradable polymers in veterinary medicine and highlight the challenges and future perspectives in this area.

Abstract
In this study, a novel dinuclear lanthanide complex, denoted as [Ho2(L)2(acac)2(CH3OH)2]·CH3OH (1) (where H2L is 2-[((4-methyl)-2-(carboxyl)-imino)]methyl]-8-hydroxyquinoline, and Hacac is acetylacetonate), was successfully synthesized and characterized using single-crystal and elemental analysis, with the auxiliary ligand β-diketonate and the 8-hydroxyquinoline Schiff base derivative serving as the foundation. Through ligand-to-metal charge transfer, Compound 1 demonstrated remarkable green fluorescence properties, showcasing potential applications in green fluorescence materials and fluorescence sensing. Additionally, Hyaluronic Acid (HA)/Carboxymethyl Chitosan (CMCS) hydrogels were synthesized through a chemical method. Utilizing captopril as a drug model, a novel metal gel granule of captopril was developed and assessed for its inhibitory activity against glioma cells. Molecular docking simulations revealed that only the methanol group in the Ho complex could contribute a polar atom for the formation of binding interactions.

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

Abstract
Chitosan is a linear polyelectrolyte with active hydroxyl and amino groups that can be made into chitosan-based hydrogels by different cross-linking methods. Chitosan-based hydrogels also have a three-dimensional network of hydrogels, which can accommodate a large number of aqueous solvents and biofluids. CS, as an ideal drug-carrying material, can effectively encapsulate and protect drugs and has the advantages of being nontoxic, biocompatible, and biodegradable. These advantages make it an ideal material for the preparation of functional hydrogels that can act as wound dressings for skin injuries. This review reports the role of chitosan-based hydrogels in promoting skin repair in the context of the mechanisms involved in skin injury repair. Chitosan-based hydrogels were found to promote skin repair at different process stages. Various functional chitosan-based hydrogels are also discussed.

Abstract
The periodontal ligament (PDL) is a distinctive yet critical connective tissue vital for maintaining the integrity and functionality of tooth-supporting structures. However, PDL repair poses significant challenges due to the complexity of its mechanical microenvironment encompassing hard-soft-hard tissues, with the viscoelastic properties of the PDL being of particular interest. This review delves into the significant role of viscoelastic hydrogels in PDL regeneration, underscoring their utility in simulating biomimetic three-dimensional microenvironments. We review the intricate relationship between PDL and viscoelastic mechanical properties, emphasizing the role of tissue viscoelasticity in maintaining mechanical functionality. Moreover, we summarize the techniques for characterizing PDL's viscoelastic behavior. From a chemical bonding perspective, we explore various crosslinking methods and characteristics of viscoelastic hydrogels, along with engineering strategies to construct viscoelastic cell microenvironments. We present a detailed analysis of the influence of the viscoelastic microenvironment on cellular mechanobiological behavior and fate. Furthermore, we review the applications of diverse viscoelastic hydrogels in PDL repair and address current challenges in the field of viscoelastic tissue repair. Lastly, we propose future directions for the development of innovative hydrogels that will facilitate not only PDL but also systemic ligament tissue repair. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE.

Abstract
Biopolymers are crucial in pharmaceuticals, particularly for controlled drug release. In this study, we loaded the broad-spectrum antibacterial drug amoxicillin into sodium alginate, a well-known biopolymer. Graphene oxide was incorporated into the composite, and the hydrogel beads were coated with chitosan for its mucoadhesive properties. Various composites were formulated by adjusting the weight percentage of graphene oxide (GO). The fabricated beads demonstrated controlled and sustained drug release, with 98 % of the loaded drug molecules released over 24 h at gastric pH. The antibacterial test using the disc diffusion technique confirmed the drug release, exhibiting greater effectiveness against the gram-positive bacterium S. aureus than the gram-negative bacterium E. coli. The drug release data were optimized using zero order, first order, Higuchi, and Korsmeyer-Peppas models. The experimental data were best fit to the Korsmeyer-Peppas model with a relatively higher correlation coefficient value. Biocompatibility was evaluated through a cell viability test using mouse fibroblast cell lines (L929). The MTT viability assay confirmed high levels of cytocompatibility, even at higher concentrations (100 μg/mL), with 98.15 % viable cells. These results highlight the potential of the fabricated beads as an effective amoxicillin drug delivery system with biomedical applications.

Abstract
Deregulated inflammations induced by various factors are one of the most common diseases in people's daily life, while severe inflammation can even lead to death. Thus, the efficient treatment of inflammation has always been the hot topic in the research of medicine. In the past decades, as a potential biomaterial, stimuli-responsive hydrogels have been a focus of attention for the inflammation treatment due to their excellent biocompatibility and design flexibility. Recently, thanks to the rapid development of nanotechnology and material science, more and more efforts have been made to develop safer, more personal and more effective hydrogels for the therapy of some frequent but tough inflammations such as sepsis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, periodontitis, and ulcerative colitis. Herein, from recent studies and articles, the conventional and emerging hydrogels in the delivery of anti-inflammatory drugs and the therapy for various inflammations are summarized. And their prospects of clinical translation and future development are also discussed in further detail.

Abstract
There are many studies on specific macromolecules and their contributions to tissue repair. Macromolecules have supporting and protective effects in organisms and can help regrow, reshape, and promote self-repair and regeneration of damaged tissues. Macromolecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides, can be constructed into hydrogels for the preparation of slow-release drug agents, carriers for cell culture, and platforms for gene delivery. Hydrogels and microspheres are fabricated by chemical crosslinking or mixed co-deposition often used as scaffolds, drug carriers, or cell culture matrix, provide proper mechanical support and nutrient delivery, a well-conditioned environment that to promote the regeneration and repair of damaged tissues. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent developments in the construction of macromolecules into hydrogels and microspheres based on the proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides and other polymer and their application in tissue repair. We then discuss the latest research trends regarding the advantages and disadvantages of these composites in repair tissue. Further, we examine the applications of microspheres/hydrogels in different tissue repairs, such as skin tissue, cartilage, tumor tissue, synovial, nerve tissue, and cardiac repair. The review closes by highlighting the challenges and prospects of microspheres/hydrogels composites.

Abstract
Depression is a severe mental disorder among public health issues. Researchers in the field of mental health and clinical psychiatrists have long been faced with difficulties in slow treatment cycles, high recurrence rates, and lagging efficacy. These obstacles have forced us to seek more advanced and effective treatments. Research has shown that novel drug delivery strategies for natural medicinal plants can effectively improve the utilization efficiency of the active molecules in these plants and therefore improve their efficacy. Currently, with the development of treatment technologies and the constant updating of novel drug delivery strategies, the addition of natural medicinal antidepressant therapy has given new significance to the study of depression treatment against the background of novel drug delivery systems. Based on this, this review comprehensively evaluates and analyses the research progress in novel drug delivery systems, including nanodrug delivery technology, in intervention research strategies for neurological diseases from the perspective of natural medicines for depression treatment. This provided a new theoretical foundation for the development and application of novel drug delivery strategies and drug delivery technologies in basic and clinical drug research fields.

Abstract
The current study paves the way for improved chemotherapy by creating pH-responsive nanogels (NGs) (GC1 and GC2) loaded with synthetic ruthenium(II) arene complexes to increase biological potency. NGs are fabricated by the conjugation of chitosan (CTS)-biotin biopolymers that selectively target the cancer cells as CTS has the pH-responsive property, which helps in releasing the drug in cancer cells having pH ∼ 5.5, and biotin provides the way to target the cancer cells selectively due to the overexpression of integrin. The synthesized compounds and NGs were thoroughly characterized using various spectroscopic and analytical techniques such as NMR, electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared, UV-vis, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, rheology, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, and others. NGs displayed exceptional increased efficacy toward cancerous cells with IC50 values ranging from 7.50 to 18.86 μM via induced apoptosis in three human cancer cell lines. Apart from its potency, NGs were found to be highly selective toward cancer cells. Moreover, based on the results of immunoblot analysis, it was observed that the synthesized compounds exhibit a significant increase in the expression of cleaved caspase-3 and a decrease in the expression of the antiapoptotic protein BCL-XL. Interestingly, the complexes were discovered to have the additional capability of catalyzing the conversion of NADH to NAD+, leading to the generation of radical oxygen species within the cells. Additionally, it was discovered that NG-induced apoptosis depends on ROS production and DNA binding. A narrower range of LD50 values (1185.93 and 823.03 μM) was seen after administering NGs to zebrafish embryos in vivo. The results support the use of drug-loaded NGs as potential chemotherapeutic and chemopreventive agents for human cancer cells.

Abstract
Microbial infections are a serious healthcare related problem, causing several complications and even death. That is why, the development of new drug delivery systems with prolonged effect represents an interesting research topic. This study presents the synthesis and characterization of new hydrogels based on chitosan and three halogenated monoaldehydes. Further, the hydrogels were used as excipients for the development of drug delivery systems (DDS) by the incorporation of fluconazole, an antifungal drug. The systems were structurally characterized by Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, both methods revealing the formation of the imine linkages between chitosan and the aldehydes. The samples presented a high degree of ordering at supramolecular level, as demonstrated by WXRD and POM and a good water-uptake, reaching a maximum of 1.6 g/g. The obtained systems were biodegradable, loosing between 38 and 49 % from their initial mass in the presence of lysozyme in 21 days. The ability to release the antifungal drug in a sustained manner for seven days, along with the high values of the inhibition zone diameter, reaching a maximum of 64 mm against Candida parapsilosis for the chlorine containing sample, recommend these systems as promising materials for bioapplications.

Abstract
Delayed or chronic wound healing is one of severe clinical issues. Developing scaffold materials capable of supporting cells and inducing tissue regeneration remains a challenge. Here, a polysaccharide-based hydrogel is constructed for promoting full-thickness skin wound healing in mouse model. The engineering hydrogel consists of a dynamic crosslinking network formed by the Schiff base reaction between aldehyde-containing xyloglucan and methacrylated chitosan. Its reversible gel-sol-gel transition upon shearing force is highly beneficial to completely cover and fill irregular wound shape. The second covalent cross-linking network achieved by photo-initiated polymerization offers a feasible way to tune the mechanical property of hydrogel after injection, with an ideal mechanical adaptivity for clinical application. Remarkably, both in vitro and in vivo evaluations demonstrate that the hydrogel with endogenously bioactive galactoside units can promote cell spheroid formation and accelerate wound healing by expediting re-epithelialization, collagen deposition, angiogenesis as well as the formation of hair follicles.

Abstract
With the advancement of biomedical research into antimicrobial treatments for various diseases, the source and delivery of antibiotics have attracted attention. In periodontal diseases, antibiotics are integral in positive treatment outcomes; however, the use of antibiotics is with caution as the potential for the emergence of resistant strains is of concern. Over the years, conventional routes of drug administration have been proven to be effective for the treatment of PD, yet the problem of antibiotic resistance to conventional therapies continues to remain a setback in future treatments. Hydrogels fabricated from natural and synthetic polymers have been extensively applied in biomedical sciences for the delivery of potent biological compounds. These polymeric materials either have intrinsic antibacterial properties or serve as good carriers for the delivery of antibacterial agents. The biocompatibility, low toxicity and biodegradability of some hydrogels have favoured their consideration as prospective carriers for antibacterial drug delivery in PD. This article reviews PD and its antibiotic treatment options, the role of bacteria in PD and the potential of hydrogels as antibacterial agents and for antibiotic drug delivery in PD. Finally, potential challenges and future directions of hydrogels for use in PD treatment and diagnosis are also highlighted.

Abstract
Chitosan is a kind of natural polysaccharide biomass with the second highest content in nature after cellulose, which has good biological properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, hemostasis, mucosal adsorption, non-toxicity, and antibacterial properties. Therefore, hydrogels prepared from chitosan have the advantages of good hydrophilicity, unique three-dimensional network structure, and good biocompatibility, so they have received extensive attention and research in environmental testing, adsorption, medical materials, and catalytic supports. Compared with traditional polymer hydrogels, biomass chitosan-based hydrogels have advantages such as low toxicity, excellent biocompatibility, outstanding processability, and low cost. This paper reviews the preparation of various chitosan-based hydrogels using chitosan as raw material and their applications in the fields of medical materials, environmental detection, catalytic carriers, and adsorption. Some views and prospects are put forward for the future research and development of chitosan-based hydrogels, and it is believed that chitosan-based hydrogels will be able to obtain more valuable applications.

Abstract
Since succinoglycan (SG) produced by Sinorhizobium meliloti is an anionic polysaccharide having substituents such as succinate and pyruvate groups, a polyelectrolyte composite hydrogel can be made together with chitosan (CS), a cationic polysaccharide. We fabricated polyelectrolyte SG/CS hydrogels using the semi-dissolving acidified sol-gel transfer (SD-A-SGT) method. The hydrogel showed optimized mechanical strength and thermal stability at an SG:CS weight ratio of 3:1. This optimized SG/CS hydrogel exhibited a high compressive stress of 497.67 kPa at 84.65 % strain and a high tensile strength of 9.14 kPa when stretched to 43.73 %. Additionally, this SG/CS hydrogel showed a pH-controlled drug release pattern for 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), where a change from pH 7.4 to 2.0 increased the release from 60 % to 94 %. In addition, this SG/CS hydrogel not only showed a cell viability of 97.57 %, but also showed synergistic antibacterial activity of 97.75 % and 96.76 % against S. aureus and E. coli, respectively. These results indicate the potential of this hydrogel as a biocompatible and biodegradable hydrogel material for wound healing, tissue engineering, and drug release systems.

Abstract
Wound dressing with an improved structural and functional recapitulation of damaged organs, efficient self-healing and antibacterial properties that can well integrate with tissue are urgently needed in wound management. Supramolecular hydrogels confer control over structural properties in a reversible, dynamic and biomimetic fashion. Herein, a kind of injectable, self-healing and antibacterial supramolecular hydrogel with multi-responses were fabricated by mixing phenylazo-terminated Pluronic F127, quaternized chitosan-graft-cyclodextrin and polydopamine coated tunicate cellulose nanocrystals under physiological conditions. By exploiting the photoisomerization of azobenzene under different wavelengths, a supramolecular hydrogel featuring a changing crosslink density of network was obtained. The corporation of polydopamine coated tunicate cellulose nanocrystals strengthens the hydrogel network with Schiff base bonds and hydrogen bonds, which avoids complete gel-sol transition. The inherent antibacterial property, drug release behavior, self-healing ability, hemostatic performance and biocompatibility were investigated to confirm superiority in wound healing. Moreover, the curcumin loaded hydrogel (Cur-hydrogel) showed multi-responsive release profiles (light, pH, and temperature). A full-thickness skin defect model was built to confirm that Cur-hydrogels significantly accelerated wound healing rate with better granulation tissue thickness and collagen disposition. Overall, the novel photo-responsive hydrogel with coherent antibacterial property has great potential in the healthcare of wound healing.

Abstract
AbstractBiopolymers, polymers derived from renewable biomass sources, have gained increasing attention in recent years due to their potential to replace traditional petroleum-based polymers in a range of applications. Among the many advantages of biopolymers can be included their biocompatibility, excellent mechanical properties, and availability from renewable feedstock. However, the development of biopolymers has been limited by a lack of understanding of their properties and processing behaviours. Continuous analysis techniques have the potential to hasten progress in this area by providing real-time insights into the properties and processing of biopolymers. Significant research in polymer chemistry has focused on petroleum-derived polymers and has thus provided a wealth of synthetic and analytical methodologies which may be applied to the biopolymer field. Of particular note is the application of flow technology in polymer science and its implications for accelerating progress towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional petroleum-based polymers. In this mini review we have outlined several of the most prominent use cases for biopolymers along with the current state-of-the art in continuous analysis of polymers in flow, including defining and differentiating atline, inline, online and offline analysis. We have found several examples for continuous flow analysis which have direct application to the biopolymer field, and we demonstrate an atline continuous polymer analysis method using size exclusion chromatography.

The complicated wound repair process caused by microbial infection is still a clinical problem due to antibiotic resistance. Therefore it is necessary to employ the incorporating bioactive molecules in the dressing to solve this problem. Herein, a multifunctional nanocomposite hydrogel (CS-HCA-Icps) with the pathological pH-responsive drug release has been developed to promote the infection-impaired wound healing. CS-HCA-Icps nanocomposite hydrogel composed of catechol-grafted chitosan (CS-HCA) and a curcumin-Fe3+ coordination nanoparticles (Icps, CurFe3+) exhibits the favorable activities in free radical scavenging, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory. The favorable biocompatibility is also demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo experiments. These demonstrate the promoting efficacy of hydrogel in wound healing. In this study, Chitosan (CS) shows excellent biocompatibility and antibacterial properties for tissue repair. After functional modification with HCA, the catechol groups are beneficial to improve antioxidant capacity for wound repair, Moreover, Icps nanomedicine are able to enhance the loaded Cur release in response to the pathological acidic microenvironment at the inflammatory stage of wounds. Thus, the pathological pH-responsive hydrogel integrating anti-bacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory functions may represent a promising strategy for safe and efficient wound healing, in particular for potential clinical use.

Abstract
A novel mussel-inspired adhesive hydrogel with enhanced adhesion based on methacrylated catechol-chitosan (MCCS) and dopamine methacrylate (DMA) was prepared via photopolymerization. The structure and morphology of the MCCS/DMA adhesive hydrogel were investigated by using FTIR, NMR, XRD, TG, and SEM. The rheological and texture properties, swelling and degradation characteristics, as well as the adhesion mechanism of the hydrogels were also examined. These results revealed that the MCCS/DMA hydrogels have a dense double cross-linking network structure with porous internal microstructures, and exhibited controllable swelling and degradation properties, good thermostability, and stable rheological characteristics. Furthermore, the adhesive mechanism of MCCS/DMA hydrogel has been confirmed by the FTIR and 2D correlation FTIR spectroscopy. Additionally, the results of in vitro cytotoxicity assessment indicated that the resulting hydrogels have good cytocompatibility. Overall, the MCCS/DMA adhesive hydrogel may have potential applications in medical bioadhesives.

Abstract
Chitosan (CH)-based hydrogels have been extensively researched in numerous biological applications, including drug delivery, biosensing, wound healing, and tissue engineering, to name a few. Previously, modified CH hydrogels by carbamoylation, using potassium cyanate (KCNO) as the cross-linker, have shown improvement in viscoelastic properties and biocompatibility. In this study, graphene oxide (GO) nanofillers are added to carbamoylated CH to form a nanocomposite hydrogel and study the influence of CH molecular weight (Mw) and GO loading concentrations on hydrogel properties. The physical properties (swelling, degradation, and porous structure) of the hydrogels can be tuned as required for cell attachment and spreading by varying both the GO concentration and the Mw of CH. Rheological characterization showed an improvement in the mechanical properties (storage modulus, yield stress, and viscosity) of the synthesized CH-GO hydrogels with an increase in the Mw of CH and the GO concentration. Human retinal pigmented epithelial-1 (RPE-1) cells seeded onto the prepared hydrogel scaffolds showed good cell viability, adhesion, and cell spreading, confirming their cytocompatibility, with dependence on both Mw of CH and GO loading.

Abstract
As medical research progresses, the derivation and development of biological materials such as hydrogels have steadily gained more interest. The biocompatibility and non-toxicity of chitosan make chitosan hydrogels potential carriers for drug delivery. This work aims to develop two multi-reactive, safe, and highly swellable bio-hydrogels consisting of chitosan-graft-glycerol (CS-g-gly) and carboxymethyl chitosan-graft-glycerol (CMCS-g-gly), for sustained and controlled drug release, improved bioavailability along with entrapment in nanocarriers, which reduces side effects of vincristine sulphate. CS-g-gly and CMCS-g-gly are successfully prepared and fully characterized using analytical techniques. Under various conditions, the prepared hydrogels exhibit a high swelling ratio. Vincristine-loaded CS-g-gly (VCR/CS-g-gly), and CMCS-g-gly (VCR/CMCS-g-gly) show high encapsulation efficiency between 72.28-89.97%, and 56.97-71.91%, respectively. VCR/CS-g-gly show a sustained release behavior, and the maximum release of VCR from hydrogels reached 82% after 120 h of incubation. MCF-7 (breast cancer cell line) and MCF-10 (normal breast cell line) are evaluated for cell viability and apoptosis induction. The in-vitro anti-tumor efficacy is investigated using flow cytometry. The tetrazolium-based MTT assay of hydrogels shows no evidence of significant cytotoxicity in MCF-7 and MCF-10 cells. According to these findings, these hydrogels can effectively deliver drugs to MCF-7 and other breast cancer cells.

Abstract
A robust chitosan/tunicate cellulose nanocrystals (TCNCs) anisotropic hydrogel with bright interference colors was fabricated via combining the prestretching orientation method and chemically-physically dual cross-linking. The oriented regenerated chitosan nanofibrous network enabled the TCNCs alignment by covalent interaction and hydrogen bonding. The stretching alignment endows the chitosan/TCNCs hydrogel with enhanced tensile strength, from 0.63 MPa (draw ratio 1.0) to 2.06 MPa (draw ratio 3.5). Moreover, the orientation of chitosan nanofibers led to birefringence appearance, which could be regulated with the TCNCs introduction or draw ratios. The hydrogel swelled completely in 2 min in pH = 3 solution and the interference color disappeared. The oriented chitosan/TCNCs hydrogels showed distinct color change under acid stimulation, which could be quantitatively measured or directly observed under crossed polarizers. This work demonstrated a strategy for fabricating the interference color regulatable hydrogels with acid-response property for sensors and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Postoperative wound of perianal infectious disease represents a common but unique refractory wound in clinical practice. The reasons that hinder the wound healing process include not only the severe bacterial infection of the wound itself and the narrow and deep shape of the wound, but also its frequent bacterial contact. Therefore, the development of biofunctional dressings to aid in therapy is essential. In this study, we synthesized a new type of dressing comprising a hydrogel host based on the Schiff base principle and catechol groups between polydopamine, oxidized dextran, and quaternized chitosan, and then loaded it with traditional Chinese medicine molecules. These formed an integrated hydrogel for accelerated wound repair in a perianal infection model. The prepared hydrogels exhibited excellent wet tissue adhesion, antifouling, morphological variability, suitable swelling properties, and complete degradability, as well as remarkable contact antibacterial ability and the ability to rapidly scavenge free radicals. Hemostatic experiments showed excellent hemostatic properties, as the integrated hydrogel could instantly gel to seal the hemorrhage. Hemocompatibility and in vitro cell experiments showed that the integrated hydrogel had good biosafety and significantly promoted cell proliferation, which in turn accelerated the repair of infected whole cortexes in rats. A histomorphological evaluation showed that the integrated hydrogel promoted the recovery of normal anatomical tissue in rats by promoting the formation of collagen fibers and inhibiting inflammation. The results showed that this multifunctional integrated hydrogel has great potential for the treatment of continuously infected skin regeneration, providing a promising therapeutic strategy for postoperative wound healing in perianal infectious diseases.

Abstract
The bone tissue engineering approach for treating large bone defects becomes necessary when the tissue damage surpasses the threshold of the inherent regenerative ability of the human body. A myriad of natural biodegradable polymers and scaffold fabrication techniques have emerged in the last decade. Chitosan (CS) is especially attractive as a bone scaffold material to support cell attachment and proliferation and mineralization of the bone matrix. The primary amino groups in CS are responsible for properties such as controlled drug release, mucoadhesion, in situ gelation, and transfection. CS-based smart drug delivery scaffolds that respond to environmental stimuli have been reported to have a localized sustained delivery of drugs in the large bone defect area. This review outlines the recent advances in the fabrication of CS-based scaffolds as a pharmaceutical carrier to deliver drugs such as antibiotics, growth factors, nucleic acids, and phenolic compounds for bone tissue regeneration.
