Abstract
The abuse and overuse of antibiotics let drug-resistant bacteria emerges. Antibacterial photodynamic therapy (APDT) has shown outstanding merits to eliminate the drug-resistant bacteria via cytotoxic reactive oxygen species produced by irradiating photosensitizer. However, most of photosensitizers are not effective for Gram-negative bacteria elimination. Herein conjugates of NBS, a photosensitizer, linked with one (NBS-DPA-Zn) or two (NBS-2DPA-Zn) equivalents of zinc-dipicolylamine (Zn-DPA) have been designed to achieve the functional recognition of different bacteria. Due to the cationic character of NBS and metal transfer channel effect of Zn-DPA, NBS-DPA-Zn exhibited the first regent to distinguish P. aeruginosa from other Gram-negative bacteria. Whereas NBS-2DPA-Zn showed broad-spectrum antibacterial effect because the two arm of double Zn-DPA enhanced interactions with anionic membranes of bacteria, led the bacteria aggregation and thus provided the efficacy of APDT to bacteria and corresponding biofilm. In combination with a hydrogel of Pluronic, NBS-2DPA-Zn@gel shows promising clinical application in mixed bacterial diabetic mouse model infection. This might propose a new method that can realize functional identification and elimination of bacteria through intelligent regulation of Zn-DPA, and shows excellent potential for antibacterial application.

Abstract
Traditional optical waveguides or mediums are often silica-based materials, but their applications in biomedicine and healthcare are limited due to the poor biocompatibility and unsuitable mechanical properties. In term of the applications in human body, a biocompatible hydrogel system with excellent optical transparency and mechanical flexibility could be beneficial. In this review, we explore the different designs of hydrogel-based optical waveguides derived from natural and synthetic sources. We highlighted key developments such as light emitting contact lenses, implantable optical fibres, biosensing systems, luminating and fluorescent materials. Finally, we expand further on the challenges and perspectives for hydrogel waveguides to achieve clinical applications.

Abstract
Herein, we introduce a novel composite hydrogel scaffold designed for addressing infectious jaw defects, a significant challenge in clinical settings caused by the inherent limited self-regenerative capacity of bone tissues. The scaffold was engineered from a blend of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS)/sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel (CSH), β-cyclodextrin/chlorhexidine clathrate (β-CD-CHX), and strontium-nanohydroxyapatite nanoparticles (Sr-nHA). The β-CD-CHX and Sr-nHA components were synthesized using a saturated aqueous solution and a coprecipitation method, respectively. Subsequently, these elements were encapsulated within the CSH matrix. Comprehensive characterization of the CMCS/SA/β-CD-CHX/Sr-nHA composite hydrogel scaffold via scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy validated the successful synthesis. The swelling and in vitro degradation behaviors proved that the composite hydrogel had good physical properties, while in vitro evaluations demonstrated favorable biocompatibility and osteoinductive properties. Additionally, antibacterial assessments revealed its effectiveness against common pathogens, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Overall, our results indicate that the CMCS/SA/β-CD-CHX/Sr-nHA composite hydrogel scaffolds exhibit significant potential for effectively treating infection-prone jaw defects.

Abstract
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) contains a variety of growth factors (GFs) and has been used in the treatment of a variety of diseases, including skin lesions. In particular, PRP with low immunogenicity will be more widely used. However, the explosive release of GFs limits its further application. In order to achieve controlled release of GFs, a multifunctional and reactive oxygen species (ROS)/pH dual responsive hydrogel was developed to load PRP derived from human cord blood for the treatment of skin wound healing. Based on the hydrogen bond and Schiff base interaction, carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), oxidized dextran (Odex) and oligomeric procyanidins (OPC) were crosslinked to form CMCS/Odex/OPC/PRP hydrogel with good injectability, self-healing, adhesion, ROS scavenging, antibacterial activity, controlled and sustained release of GFs. In vitro cell experiments suggested that this hydrogel possessed excellent biocompatibility and could promote the proliferation and migration of L929. In vivo healing of full-layer skin wounds further indicated that the prepared hydrogel could regulate inflammation and promote epithelialization, collagen deposition, and angiogenesis. In summary, this present study demonstrates that CMCS/Odex/OPC/PRP hydrogel may serve as a promising multifunctional dressing for skin wound healing.

Abstract
The healing of diabetic wounds is hindered by various factors, including bacterial infection, macrophage dysfunction, excess proinflammatory cytokines, high levels of reactive oxygen species, and sustained hypoxia. These factors collectively impede cellular behaviors and the healing process. Consequently, this review presents intelligent hydrogels equipped with multifunctional capacities, which enable them to dynamically respond to the microenvironment and accelerate wound healing in various ways, including stimuli -responsiveness, injectable self-healing, shape -memory, and conductive and real-time monitoring properties. The relationship between the multiple functions and wound healing is also discussed. Based on the microenvironment of diabetic wounds, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, and pro-angiogenic strategies are combined with multifunctional hydrogels. The application of multifunctional hydrogels in the repair of diabetic wounds is systematically discussed, aiming to provide guidelines for fabricating hydrogels for diabetic wound healing and exploring the role of intelligent hydrogels in the therapeutic processes.

Abstract
Indocyanine green (ICG) has been widely explored for the theranostics of tumors. However, ICG mainly accumulates in the liver, spleen, or kidney in addition to in tumors, causing inaccurate diagnoses and impaired therapeutic effects under NIR irradiation. Herein, a hybrid nanomicelle was constructed by integrating hypoxia-sensitive iridium(III) and ICG for precise tumor localization and photothermal therapy in sequence. In this nanomicelle, the amphiphilic iridium(III) complex (BTPH)2Ir(SA-PEG) was synthesized through the coordination substitution of hydrophobic (BTPH)2IrCl2 and hydrophilic PEGlyated succinylacetone (SA-PEG). Meanwhile, PEGlyated ICG (ICG-PEG) as a derivative of the photosensitizer ICG was also synthesized. (BTPH)2Ir(SA-PEG) and ICG-PEG were coassembled by dialysis to form the hybrid nanomicelle M-Ir-ICG. Hypoxia-sensitive fluorescence, ROS generation, and the photothermal effect of M-Ir-ICG were investigated in vitro and in vivo. The experimental results indicated that M-Ir-ICG nanomicelles could locate at the tumor site first and then perform photothermal therapy with 83.90% TIR, demonstrating great potential for clinical applications.

Abstract
The imbalance of local and systemic factors in individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM) delays, or even interrupts, the highly complex and dynamic process of wound healing, leading to diabetic foot ulceration (DFU) in 15 to 25% of cases. DFU is the leading cause of non-traumatic amputations worldwide, posing a huge threat to the well-being of individuals with DM and the healthcare system. Moreover, despite all the latest efforts, the efficient management of DFUs still remains a clinical challenge, with limited success rates in treating severe infections. Biomaterial-based wound dressings have emerged as a therapeutic strategy with rising potential to handle the tricky macro and micro wound environments of individuals with DM. Indeed, biomaterials have long been related to unique versatility, biocompatibility, biodegradability, hydrophilicity, and wound healing properties, features that make them ideal candidates for therapeutic applications. Furthermore, biomaterials may be used as a local depot of biomolecules with anti-inflammatory, pro-angiogenic, and antimicrobial properties, further promoting adequate wound healing. Accordingly, this review aims to unravel the multiple functional properties of biomaterials as promising wound dressings for chronic wound healing, and to examine how these are currently being evaluated in research and clinical settings as cutting-edge wound dressings for DFU management.

Abstract
Peptide self-assembling materials have received significant attention from researchers in recent years, emerging as a popular field in biological, environmental, medical, and other new materials studies. In this study, we utilized controllable enzymatic hydrolysis technology (animal proteases) to obtain supramolecular peptide self-assembling materials (CAPs) from the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas). We conducted physicochemical analyses to explore the pro-healing mechanisms of CAPs on skin wounds in both in vitro and in vivo experiments through a topical application. The results demonstrated that CAPs exhibit a pH-responsive behavior for self-assembly and consist of peptides ranging from 550 to 2300 Da in molecular weight, with peptide chain lengths of mainly 11-16 amino acids. In vitro experiments indicated that CAPs display a procoagulant effect, free radical scavenging activity, and promote the proliferation of HaCaTs (112.74% and 127.61%). Moreover, our in vivo experiments demonstrated that CAPs possess the ability to mitigate inflammation, boost fibroblast proliferation, and promote revascularization, which accelerates the epithelialization process. Consequently, a balanced collagen I/III ratio in the repaired tissue and the promotion of hair follicle regeneration were observed. With these remarkable findings, CAPs can be regarded as a natural and secure treatment option with high efficacy for skin wound healing. The potential of CAPs to be further developed for traceless skin wound healing is an exciting area for future research and development.

Abstract
Diabetic ulcers (DUs) are one of the most serious complications of diabetes mellitus. The application of a functional dressing is a crucial step in DU treatment and is associated with the patient's recovery and prognosis. However, traditional dressings with a simple structure and a single function cannot meet clinical requirements. Therefore, researchers have turned their attention to advanced polymer dressings and hydrogels to solve the therapeutic bottleneck of DU treatment. Hydrogels are a class of gels with a three-dimensional network structure that have good moisturizing properties and permeability and promote autolytic debridement and material exchange. Moreover, hydrogels mimic the natural environment of the extracellular matrix, providing suitable surroundings for cell proliferation. Thus, hydrogels with different mechanical strengths and biological properties have been extensively explored as DU dressing platforms. In this review, we define different types of hydrogels and elaborate the mechanisms by which they repair DUs. Moreover, we summarize the pathological process of DUs and review various additives used for their treatment. Finally, we examine the limitations and obstacles that exist in the development of the clinically relevant applications of these appealing technologies. This review defines different types of hydrogels and carefully elaborate the mechanisms by which they repair diabetic ulcers (DUs), summarizes the pathological process of DUs, and reviews various bioactivators used for their treatment.

Recent advances in carboxymethyl chitosan-based materials for biomedical applications. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 305:120555. [PMID: 36737218 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.120555] [Citation(s) in RCA: 46] [Impact Index Per Article: 46.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2022] [Revised: 12/12/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
Chitosan (CS) and its derivatives have been applied extensively in the biomedical field owing to advantageous characteristics including biodegradability, biocompatibility, antibacterial activity and adhesive properties. The low solubility of CS at physiological pH limits its use in systems requiring higher dissolving ability and a suitable drug release rate. Besides, CS can result in fast drug release because of its high swelling degree and rapid water absorption in aqueous media. As a water-soluble derivative of CS, carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) has certain improved properties, rendering it a more suitable candidate for wound healing, drug delivery and tissue engineering applications. This review will focus on the antibacterial, anticancer and antitumor, antioxidant and antifungal bioactivities of CMC and the most recently described applications of CMC in wound healing, drug delivery, tissue engineering, bioimaging and cosmetics.

Abstract
Wound healing is characterized by complex, orchestrated, spatiotemporal dynamic processes. Recent findings demonstrated suitable local microenvironments were necessities for wound healing. Wound microenvironments include various biological, biochemical and physical factors, which are produced and regulated by endogenous biomediators, exogenous drugs, and external environment. Successful drug delivery to wound is complicated, and need to overcome the destroyed blood supply, persistent inflammation and enzymes, spatiotemporal requirements of special supplements, and easy deactivation of drugs. Triggered by various factors from wound microenvironment itself or external elements, stimuli-responsive biomaterials have tremendous advantages of precise drug delivery and release. Here, we discuss recent advances of stimuli-responsive biomaterials to regulate local microenvironments during wound healing, emphasizing on the design and application of different biomaterials which respond to wound biological/biochemical microenvironments (ROS, pH, enzymes, glucose and glutathione), physical microenvironments (mechanical force, temperature, light, ultrasound, magnetic and electric field), and the combination modes. Moreover, several novel promising drug carriers (microbiota, metal-organic frameworks and microneedles) are also discussed.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is becoming common worldwide. In pathophysiological studies of NAFLD, an in vivo optical probe that enables visualization of lipid droplets (LDs) and imaging of oxygen status in hepatic tissues simultaneously would be very useful. Here, we present the phosphorescent Ir(III) complex BTP ((btp)2Ir(acac) (btp = benzothienylpyridine, acac = acetylacetone)) as the first probe that meets this requirement. BTP was efficiently taken up into cultured 3T3-L1 adipocytes and selectively accumulated into LDs. Quantifying oxygen levels in LDs based on the phosphorescence lifetime of BTP allowed us to track changes in cellular oxygen tension after treatment with metabolic stimulants. Phosphorescence lifetime imaging microscopy combined with intravenously administered BTP in mice enabled specific visualization of LDs in hepatic lobules and simultaneous imaging of the oxygen gradient that decreased from the portal vein (PV) to the central vein (CV). NAFL model mice were created by feeding a high-fat diet (HFD) to mice for 3 or 7 days. The mice fed an HFD showed a marked increase in the amount and size of LDs in hepatocytes compared with those fed a normal diet, leading to abnormal microvascular structures. In addition, HFD-fed mice also exhibited reduced oxygen tension in areas other than the CV. Multicolor imaging with the LD-accumulated oxygen probe BTP and vasculature-staining FITC-lectin suggested that structural distortions of the sinusoidal microvasculature caused by enlarged LDs were associated with partial hypoxia in NAFL.

Abstract
Due to recalcitrant microangiopathy and chronic infection, traditional treatments do not easily produce satisfactory results for chronic diabetic ulcers. In recent years, due to the advantages of high biocompatibility and modifiability, an increasing number of hydrogel materials have been applied to the treatment of chronic wounds in diabetic patients. Research on composite hydrogels has received increasing attention since loading different components can greatly increase the ability of composite hydrogels to treat chronic diabetic wounds. This review summarizes and details a variety of newly loaded components currently used in hydrogel composites for the treatment of chronic diabetic ulcers, such as polymer/polysaccharides/organic chemicals, stem cells/exosomes/progenitor cells, chelating agents/metal ions, plant extracts, proteins (cytokines/peptides/enzymes) and nucleoside products, and medicines/drugs, to help researchers understand the characteristics of these components in the treatment of diabetic chronic wounds. This review also discusses a number of components that have not yet been applied but have the potential to be loaded into hydrogels, all of which play roles in the biomedical field and may become important loading components in the future. This review provides a "loading component shelf" for researchers of composite hydrogels and a theoretical basis for the future construction of "all-in-one" hydrogels.

Abstract
Pathogenic microorganisms have been a serious threat to human life and have become a public health problem of global concern. However, in the actual treatment there is a lack of efficient antimicrobial strategies which do not easily develop drug resistance; this can lead to inaccurate drug treatment that worsens the infection and even threatens life. With the emergence of a variety of drug-resistant bacteria and fungi, photodynamic therapy has gradually become one of the most promising treatment methods for drug-resistant bacteria infection; this is because it is controllable, non-invasive, and not prone to cause the development of drug resistance. Organic conjugated polymers that possess high fluorescence intensity, a large molar extinction coefficient, excellent light stability, an adjustable energy band, easy modification, good biocompatibility, and the ability to photosensitize oxygen to produce reactive oxygen species have been widely used in the fields of solar cells, highly sensitive detection systems, biological imaging, and anti-cancer and anti-microbial treatment. Photodynamic therapy is non-invasive and has high temporal and spatial resolution and is a highly effective antimicrobial treatment that does not easily induce drug resistance; it has also stimulated the scientific research enthusiasm of researchers and has become a research hotspot in the antimicrobial field. In this review, the photodynamic antibacterial applications of conjugated polymers with different structure types are summarized, and their development directions are considered.
