Abstract
Wound healing is a major challenge worldwide, and people have been researching wound dressings that can promote wound healing for decades. Natural biobased materials, such as polysaccharides and proteins, have been widely used in the development of wound dressings. Among them, soy protein-based materials have attracted the interest of a wide range of researchers due to their safety, biocompatibility, controlled degradation, and ability to be mixed with other materials. However, there has been a lack of comments on these soy protein-based wound dressings. This work reviews various forms of soy protein-based wound dressings, such as hydrogels, films, and others, which could be prepared through physical/chemical cross-linking with synthetic or natural polymers. The important role played by soy protein-based materials in the wound healing phase and their properties will be examined, such as their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, angiogenesis-promoting, cellular biocompatibility, self-healing ability, adhesion, antimicrobial, and tunable mechanical properties. Additionally, insights into the market prospects and trends for soy protein dressings are provided, clarifying the enormous development potential of soy protein as a new type of wound repair material.

Abstract
Hydroxypropyl chitosan-Cs3Bi2Cl9 perovskite quantum dots (HPCS-PQDs) were synthesized by a simple ligand-assisted reprecipitation method via green hydroxypropyl chitosan as the ligand and used as the specific signal of a fluorescence probe to achieve the highly sensitive detection of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) and compared with chitosan-Cs3Bi2Cl9 QDs (CS-PQDs). HPCS-PQDs with multiple active hydroxyl passivations were found to enhance the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) by 90%. After being placed in aqueous solution and irradiated with ultraviolet light for 96 h the fluorescence intensity of HPCS-PQDs remained above 60%. The blue emission of HPCS-PQDs has a good selectivity and short response time (30 s) for Cr(VI). A good linear relationship is established between the fluorescence quenching rate of the HPCS-PQDs and concentration of Cr(VI) from 0.8 to 400 µM, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.27 µM. The fluorescence quenching mechanism is the static quenching and internal filtration effect caused by HPCS-PQDs forming a non-fluorescent ground-state complex with Cr(VI). The sensor can not only be used to detect Cr(VI) in water samples with high accuracy but can also be prepared as a test paper for the detection for Cr(VI).

Abstract
Developing antibiotic-free treatment strategies to cope with the crisis on drug-resistant bacteria, are urgently needed. Antibiotics-independent physical approaches, especially the non-invasive phototherapies, worked through the assistance of photosensitizer (PS), have geared intensive attention and interests. Here, composite porphyrin-based conjugated microporous polymer/graphene oxide, denoted as GO-TAPP, combining the advantages of each component perfectly, was developed as broad-spectrum antibacterial agent. GO-TAPP, prepared via the self-oxidation coupling of tetraethynyl porphyrin on the surface of graphene oxide, could exert synergistic photothermal (PTT, ascribed to the graphene) and photodynamic (PDT, derived from the Porphyrin polymer) antimicrobial effectiveness. Both the in vivo and in vitro experiments have confirmed GO-TAPP are extremely potent against the Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) pathogens, which presents a remarkably enhanced sterilizing effect in comparison with its counterparts (the bare GO, and TAPP). Meanwhile, the synergistic effect of GO-TAPP could significantly accelerate the healing of open wound infected by bacterial. Altogether, this work proposed a new approach for the rational preparation of highly biocompatible graphene-based composite materials as antibiotic-free agents with synergistic antibacterial effect to combat bacterial infections.

Abstract
Residual tumor recurrence after surgical resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a considerable challenge that imperils the prognosis of patients. Notably, intraoperative bleeding and postoperative infection are potential risk factors for tumor recurrence. However, the biomaterial strategy for the above problems has rarely been reported. Herein, a series of cryogels (coded as SQ-n) based on sodium alginate (SA) and quaternized chitosan (QC) were synthesized and selected for optimal ratios. The in vitro assays showed that SQ-50 possessed superior hemostasis, excellent antibacterial property, and great cytocompatibility. Subsequently, SQAP was constructed by loading black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNSs) and anlotinib hydrochloride (AL3818) based on SQ-50. Physicochemical experiments confirmed that near-infrared (NIR)-assisted SQAP could control the release of AL3818 in photothermal response, significantly inhibiting the proliferation and survival of HUVECs and H22 cells. Furthermore, in vivo studies indicated that the NIR-assisted SQAP prevented local recurrence of ectopic HCC after surgical resection, achieved through the synergistic effect of mPTT and molecular targeted therapy. Thus, the multifunctional SQAP provides a "one-stop" synergistic strategy for HCC postoperative recurrence, showing great potential for clinical application.

Characterization of structural and functional properties of soy protein isolate and sodium alginate interpenetrating polymer network hydrogels. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2023; 103:6566-6573.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study used enzymatic and Ca2+ cross-linking methods to prepare edible soy protein isolate (SPI) and sodium alginate (SA) interpenetrating polymer network hydrogels to overcome the disadvantages of traditional interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogels, such as poor performance, high toxicity, and inedibility. The influence of changes in SPI and SA mass ratio on the performance of SPI-SA IPN hydrogels was investigated. RESULTS Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the structure of the hydrogels. Texture profile analysis (TPA), rheological properties, swelling rate, and Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) were used to evaluate physical and chemical properties and safety. The results showed that, compared with SPI hydrogel, IPN hydrogels had better gel properties and structural stability. As the mass ratio of SPI-SA IPN changed from 1:0.2 to 1:1, the gel network structure of hydrogels also tended to be dense and uniform. The water retention and mechanical properties of these hydrogels, such as storage modulus (G'), loss modulus (G"), and gel hardness increased significantly and were greater than those of the SPI hydrogel. Cytotoxicity tests were also performed. The biocompatibility of these hydrogels was good. CONCLUSIONS This study proposes a new method to prepare food-grade IPN hydrogels with mechanical properties of SPI and SA, which may have strong potential for the development of new foods. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Muscular diseases and injuries are challenging issues in human medicine, resulting in physical disability. The advent of tissue engineering approaches has paved the way for the restoration and regeneration of injured muscle tissues along with available conventional therapies. Despite recent advances in the fabrication, synthesis, and application of hydrogels in terms of muscle tissue, there is a long way to find appropriate hydrogel types in patients with congenital and/or acquired musculoskeletal injuries. Regarding specific muscular tissue microenvironments, the applied hydrogels should provide a suitable platform for the activation of endogenous reparative mechanisms and concurrently deliver transplanting cells and therapeutics into the injured sites. Here, we aimed to highlight recent advances in muscle tissue engineering with a focus on recent strategies related to the regulation of vascularization and immune system response at the site of injury.

Abstract
Diabetic wound healing has attracted widespread attention in biomedical engineering. However, the harsh hypoxic microenvironment (HME) comprising high glucose levels, local bleeding, and bacterial infection often leads to the formation of hyperplastic scars, increasing the clinical demand for wound dressings. Here, we report a comprehensive strategy using near-infrared NIR-assisted oxygen delivery combined with the bioactive nature of biopolymers for remodeling the HME. Black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets and hemoglobin (Hb) were self-assembled layerwise onto electrospun poly-l-lactide (PLLA) nanofibers using charged quaternized chitosan (QCS) and hyaluronic acid. BP converts NIR radiation into heat and stimulates Hb to release oxygen in situ. QCS is a hemostatic and broad-spectrum antibacterial material. Moderate BP-derived photothermal therapy can increase the sensitivity of bacteria to QCS. A series of composite wound dressings (coded as PQBH-n) with different numbers of layers were fabricated, and the in vivo diabetic wound healing potentials were tested. The molecular mechanism can be partly attributed to the cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction. Notably, this comprehensive strategy based on NIR-assisted oxygen delivery combined with the bioactive properties of biopolymers is not only applicable for fabricating multifunctional wound dressings but also has a great potential in expanding biomedical engineering fields.

Abstract
The continuous advances in surgical procedures require continuous research regarding materials with surgical applications. Biopolymers are widely studied since they usually provide a biocompatible, biodegradable, and non-toxic material. Among them, chitosan is a promising material for the development of formulations and devices with surgical applications due to its intrinsic bacteriostatic, fungistatic, hemostatic, and analgesic properties. A wide range of products has been manufactured with this polymer, including scaffolds, sponges, hydrogels, meshes, membranes, sutures, fibers, and nanoparticles. The growing interest of researchers in the use of chitosan-based materials for tissue regeneration is obvious due to extensive research in the application of chitosan for the regeneration of bone, nervous tissue, cartilage, and soft tissues. Chitosan can serve as a substance for the administration of cell-growth promoters, as well as a support for cellular growth. Another interesting application of chitosan is hemostasis control, with remarkable results in studies comparing the use of chitosan-based dressings with traditional cotton gauzes. In addition, chitosan-based or chitosan-coated surgical materials provide the formulation with antimicrobial activity that has been highly appreciated not only in dressings but also for surgical sutures or meshes.

Abstract
Uncontrolled hemorrhage from trauma or surgery can lead to death. In this study, chitosan/kaolin (CSK) and chitosan/montmorillonite (CSMMT) composites were prepared from chitosan (CS), kaolin (K), and montmorillonite (MMT) as raw materials to control bleeding. The physiochemical properties and surface morphology of CSK and CSMMT composites were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), zeta potentials, and X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The hemostatic mechanism was measured in vitro by activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), in vitro clotting time, erythrocyte aggregation, and thromboelastogram (TEG). The hemostasis ability was further verified by using tail amputation and arteriovenous injury models in rats. The biocompatibility of CSK and CSMMT was evaluated by in vitro hemolysis, cytotoxicity assays, as well as acute toxicity test and skin irritation tests. The results show that CSK and CSMMT are promising composite materials with excellent biocompatibility and hemostatic properties that can effectively control bleeding.

Abstract
Extensive full-thickness skin defect lacks self-healing ability. Tissue engineering wound dressing is considered as the most promising approach to promote wound healing. In this study, a series of biocompatible and hemostatic nanofiber dressings were fabricated. Soy protein isolate (SPI) and poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) solutions were mixed in certain proportions for high-voltage electrospinning. The obtained products were coded as SPNF-n (n = 100, 80, 60 and 40, corresponding to the weight percentage of PLLA solution). We found that SPNF-n (n = 100, 80, 60 and 40) could facilitate the adhesion and spread of L929 cells. In particular, SPNF-80 was capable of promoting fibroblast proliferation and diminishing inflammation. Compared with the neat PLLA film (SPNF-100), the biosafety and hemostatic effect of SPNF-80 got significantly improved. The hemostatic effect of SPNF-80 was comparable with that of a commercial gelatin sponge. In vivo wound healing assay demonstrated that SPNF-80 could accelerate the wound healing process by enhancing vascularization, re-epithelization and collagen formation. In conclusion, our results reveal that SPNF-n has good biocompatibility and hemostatic effect, and exhibits great application potential in wound healing.

Abstract
Designing scaffolds, with optimized micro-structure and function for promoting the release of neuro-related factors, is significant in peripheral nerve regeneration. Herein, a series of hydroxypropyl chitosan/soy protein isolate composite sponges (HCSS) were fabricated by a freeze-drying technique. The physicochemical properties of the resultant HCSS were examined by a Fourier infrared spectrometer, X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope, water absorption assay, water retention assay, and compressive strength assay. The results indicated that HCSS exhibited an interconnected porous micro-structure and a high water retention ratio with the increase in SPI content. The biological characterization found that the HCSS-50 containing 50% SPI content profoundly promoted the proliferation of RSC96 cells and the secretion of neuro-related factors without excessive ROS production. In addition, HCSS-50 could significantly promote the expression of neuro-related factors; for example, the expression of TGF-β was 3 times higher than that of the control group. Finally, an optimized HCSS-based conduit was fabricated from HCSS-50 to repair sciatic nerve injury in rats with the combination of BMSCs or BMSC-derived Schwann cells. The results suggested that the constructed HCSS-based conduit accompanying BMSC-derived Schwann cells could effectively promote axonal regeneration and upregulate expression of neuro-related factors such as Krox20, Zeb2, and GAP43. Collectively, a newly engineered nerve conduit system was developed by incorporating HCSS-50 and BMSC-derived Schwann cells, which could be an alternative candidate for peripheral nerve regeneration.

Biocompatible and antibacterial soy protein isolate/quaternized chitosan composite sponges for acute upper gastrointestinal hemostasis. Regen Biomater 2021; 8:rbab034.

Abstract
Innovative biomedical applications have high requirements for biomedical materials. Herein, a series of biocompatible, antibacterial and hemostatic sponges were successfully fabricated for the treatment of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (AUGB). Quaternized chitosan (QC) and soy protein isolate (SPI) were chemically cross-linked to obtain porous SPI/QC sponges (named SQS-n, with n = 30, 40, 50 or 60 corresponding to the weight percentage of the QC content). The chemical composition, physical properties and biological activity of SQS-n were investigated. SQS-n could support the adhesion and proliferation of L929 cells while triggering no obvious blood toxicity. Meanwhile, SQS-n exhibited good broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against both gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli). The in vivo hemostatic effect of SQS-n was evaluated using three different bleeding models. The results revealed that SQS-50 performed best in reducing blood loss and hemostatic time. The overall hemostatic effect of SQS-50 was comparable to that of a commercial gelatin sponge. The enhanced antibacterial and hemostatic activities of SQS-n were mainly attributed to the QC component. In conclusion, this work developed a QC-functionalized hemostatic sponge that is highly desirable for innovative biomedical applications, such as AUGB.

Abstract
Chitosan (Cs) as a hemostatic agent has been in use to control hemorrage. Composite hydrogel formed by entrapment of vasoconstrictor-potassium aluminium sulfate (0.25 %PA) and coagulation activator-calcium chloride (0.25 %Ca) into Cs (2 %) hydrogel would enhance the hemostatic property of Cs. In this work, the prepared composite hydrogel was injectable, shear thinning, cyto and hemocompatible. The 2 %Cs-0.25 %PA-0.25 %Ca composite hydrogel caused rapid blood clotting by accelerating RBC/platelet aggregation and activation of the coagulation cascade. Further, in vivo studies on rat liver and femoral artery hemorrage model showed the efficiency of 2 %Cs-0.25 %PA-0.25 %Ca composite hydrogel to achieve hemostasis in a shorter time (20 ± 10 s, 105 ± 31 s) than commercial hemostatic agents-Fibrin sealant (77 ± 26 s, 204 ± 58 s) and Floseal (76 ± 15 s, 218 ± 46 s). In in vivo toxicological study, composite hydrogel showed material retention even after 8 weeks post-surgery, therefore excess hydrogel should be irrigated from site of application. This prepared composite hydrogel based hemostatic agent has potential application in low pressure bleeding sites.
