Abstract
Uncontrolled hemorrhage remains the leading cause of death in clinical and emergency care, posing a major threat to human life. To achieve effective bleeding control, many hemostatic materials have emerged. Among them, nature-derived biopolymers occupy an important position due to the excellent inherent biocompatibility, biodegradability and bioactivity. Additionally, sponges have been widely used in clinical and daily life because of their rapid blood absorption. Therefore, we provide the overview focusing on the latest advances and smart designs of biopolymer-based hemostatic sponge. Starting from the component, the applications of polysaccharide and polypeptide in hemostasis are systematically introduced, and the unique bioactivities such as antibacterial, antioxidant and immunomodulation are also concerned. From the perspective of sponge structure, different preparation processes can obtain unique physical properties and structures, which will affect the material properties such as hemostasis, antibacterial and tissue repair. Notably, as development frontier, the multi-functions of hemostatic materials is summarized, mainly including enhanced coagulation, antibacterial, avoiding tumor recurrence, promoting tissue repair, and hemorrhage monitoring. Finally, the challenges facing the development of biopolymer-based hemostatic sponges are emphasized, and future directions for in vivo biosafety, emerging materials, multiple application scenarios and translational research are proposed.

Abstract
Massive bleeding and bacterial infection of wounds may be life-threatening or even lead to death. Nowadays, gelatin-based hemostatic sponges have been widely used, but gelatin is not antibacterial and has poor structural stability. In this study, we mixed an antibacterial polypeptide, ε-poly-L-lysine (EPL), into gelatin. A gelatin/ε-poly-L-lysine (Gel/EPL) sponge with hemostatic and antibacterial functions was prepared by ultraviolet (UV) crosslinking lyophilized Gel/EPL composite. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the sponge had an interconnected porous structure. The incorporation of EPL increased the hydrophilicity and water absorption capacity of the Gel/EPL sponge. The sponge had better structural stability after UV crosslinking. The antibacterial assay showed that bacteria could not grow normally around the Gel/EPL sponge. The contact between blood components and the sponge initiated coagulation via exogenous pathway activation, and no hemolysis occurred. In addition, in vivo experiments confirmed that the sponge has a faster clotting time and lower blood loss. These findings show that the developed Gel/EPL sponge has great potential as a novel hemostatic agent that can quickly stop bleeding and fight bacterial infections.

Abstract
The development of safe and efficient hemostatic materials is medically important to prevent death due to trauma bleeding. Exploiting the synergistic effect between the D-periodic functional domain of collagen fibrils on platelet activation and cationic chitosan on erythrocyte aggregation is expected to develop performance-enhanced hemostatic materials. In this study, we prepared collagen fibrils and chitosan composite hemostatic materials by modulating the self-assembled bionic fibrillation of collagen with different degrees of deacetylation (DD, 50%, 70% and 85%) of chitosan. The findings indicated that chitosan promoted collagen self-assembly, with all the collagen fibrils demonstrating a typical D-periodical structure similar to that of the native collagen. Furthermore, the composite demonstrated enhanced structural integrity and procoagulant capacity along with good biocompatibility. Notably, the fibrillar composites with 70% DD of chitosan exhibited optimal mechanical properties, procoagulant activity, and adhesion of erythrocytes and platelets. Compared to pure collagen fibrils and the commercial hemostatic agent Celox™, the collagen/chitosan fibrillar composite treatment significantly accelerated hemostasis in the rat tail amputation model and liver injury model. This research offers new insights into the development of hemostatic materials and indicates that collagen-chitosan composites hold promising potential for clinical applications.

Abstract
In situ bioprinting may be preferred over standard in vitro bioprinting in specific cases when de novo tissues are to be created directly on the appropriate anatomical region in the live organism, employing the body as a bioreactor. So far, few efforts have been made to create in situ tissues that can be safely halted and immobilized during printing in preclinical live animals. However, the technique has to be improved significantly in order to manufacture complex tissues in situ, which may be attainable in the future thanks to multidisciplinary advances in tissue engineering. Thanks to the biological macromolecules, natural and synthetic hydrogels and polymers are among the most used biomaterials in in situ bioprinting procedure. Bioprinters, which encounter multiple challenges, including cross-linking the printed structure, adjusting the rheology parameters, and printing various constructs. The introduction of handheld 3D and 4D bioprinters might potentially overcome the difficulties and problems associated with using traditional bioprinters. Studies showed that this technique could be efficient in wound healing and skin tissue regeneration. This study aims to analyze the benefits and difficulties associated with materials in situ 4D printing via handheld bioprinters.

Abstract
Injectable ECM-inspired hydrogels composed of hyaluronic acid and gelatin are biocompatible and potentially useful for various medical applications. We developed injectable hydrogels composed of monoaldehyde-modified hyaluronic acid (HA-mCHO) and carbohydrazide-modified gelatin (GL-CDH), "HA/GL gel", whose ratios of HA-mCHO to GL-CDH were different. The hydrogels exhibited gelation times shorter than 3 s. In addition, the hydrogels showed strong shear-thinning and self-healing properties, mainly because of the dynamic covalent bonding of Schiff bases between HA-mCHO and GL-CDH. This hydrogel degraded in the mice's peritoneum for a week and showed excellent biocompatibility. Moreover, the hydrogel showed a higher breaking strength than fibrin glue in the lap shear test of porcine skin. Finally, the hydrogels decreased bleeding to as low as fibrin glue without using thrombin and fibrinogen in a mouse liver bleeding model in both single- and double-barreled syringe administrations. HA/GL gels have the potential for excellent biocompatibility and hemostasis in clinical settings.

Abstract
Bletilla striata polysaccharide (BSP) and chitosan (CS) were chemically cross-linked using oxalyl chloride to prepare a composite hemostatic sponge (BSP-CS), and the process parameters were optimized using the Box-Behnken design (BBD) with response surface methodology. To optimize the performance of the hemostatic sponge, we adjusted the ratio of independent variables, the amount of oxalyl chloride added, and the freeze-dried volume. A series of evaluations were conducted on the hemostatic applicability of BSP-CS. The characterization results revealed that BSP-CS had a stable bacteriostatic effect on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa within 72 h, and the bacteriostatic rate was above 30%. The CCK-8 cytotoxicity test demonstrated that BSP-CS had a certain effect on promoting cell proliferation of L929 cells. In the mouse tail-cutting experiment, the hemostasis time of BSP-CS was 463.0±38.16 s, shortened by 91.3 s on average compared with 554.3±34.67 s of the gauze group. The blood loss of the BSP-CS group was 28.47±3.74 mg, which was 34.7% lower than that of the control gauze group (43.6±3.83 mg). In the in vitro coagulation experiment, the in vitro coagulation index of the BSP-CS group was 97.29%±1.8%, which was reduced to 8.6% of the control group. The CT value of the BSP-CS group was 240±15 s, which was 155 s lower than that of the gauze group (355±31.22 s). All characterization results indicate that BSP-CS is an excellent hemostatic material.

Abstract
Post-traumatic hemorrhage, which can result from accidents or battlefield injuries, is a significant global concern due to the high prehospital mortality rate. Substantial efforts have been made to develop hemostatic agents that can effectively reduce hemorrhage in the immediate aftermath of a traumatic event. The present study investigated the potential efficacy of Ca2+ and Zn2+ supplemented sodium alginate-based dry hemostatic particles (SA-CZ DHP) to manage excessive blood loss or post-traumatic hemorrhage. SA-CZ DHP were developed, followed by their physical and biochemical characterization, cytocompatibility and hemocompatibility testing, and critical evaluation of the hemostatic potential in vitro and in vivo. The safe SA-CZ DHP showed high absorption and accelerated blood clotting kinetics with reduced coagulation time (≈70%, p < 0.0001) in whole human blood, observed with insignificant hemolysis and uninterrupted RBC morphology. SA-CZ DHP significantly reduced the mean blood loss (≈90% in SD rats tail incision), and bleeding time (≈60% in BALB/c mice tail incision) was at par with commercially available Celox hemostatic granules. In conclusion, the biocompatible SA-CZ DHP exhibited rapid and effective management of excessive blood loss. It is also pertinent to note that the developed formulation could be a cost-effective alternative to its commercial counterparts.

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

Abstract
Uncontrollable bleeding continues to stand as the primary cause of fatalities globally following surgical procedures, traumatic incidents, disasters, and combat scenarios. The swift and efficient management of bleeding through the application of hemostatic agents has the potential to significantly reduce associated mortality rates. One significant drawback of currently available hemostatic products is their susceptibility to bacterial infections at the bleeding site. As this is a prevalent issue that can potentially delay or compromise the healing process, there is an urgent demand for hemostatic agents with antibacterial properties to enhance survival rates. To mitigate the risk of infection at the site of a lesion, we propose an alternative solution in the form of a chitosan-based sponge and antimicrobial agents such as silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and lavender essential oil (LEO). The aim of this work is to provide a new type of hemostatic sponge with an antibacterial barrier against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms: Staphylococcus epidermidis 2018 and Enterococcus faecalis VRE 2566 (Gram-positive strains) and Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 10031 and Escherichia coli ATCC 35218 (Gram-negative strains).

Abstract
Understanding the interaction between biomaterials and blood is critical in the design of novel biomaterials for use in biomedical applications. Depending on the application, biomaterials can be designed to promote hemostasis, slow or stop bleeding in an internal or external wound, or prevent thrombosis for use in permanent or temporary medical implants. Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) is a natural, biocompatible biopolymer that has recently gained interest for its potential use in blood-contacting biomedical applications (e.g., artificial vascular grafts), due to its high porosity, shapeability, and tissue-like properties. To promote hemostasis, BNC has been modified through oxidation or functionalization with various peptides, proteins, polysaccharides, and minerals that interact with the coagulation cascade. For use as an artificial vascular graft or to promote vascularization, BNC has been extensively researched, with studies investigating different modification techniques to enhance endothelialization such as functionalizing with adhesion peptides or extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins as well as tuning the structural properties of BNC such as surface roughness, pore size, and fiber size. While BNC inherently exhibits comparable mechanical characteristics to endogenous blood vessels, these mechanical properties can be enhanced through chemical functionalization or through altering the fabrication method. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the various modification techniques that have been implemented to enhance the suitability of BNC for blood-contacting biomedical applications and different testing techniques that can be applied to evaluate their performance. Initially, we focused on the modification techniques that have been applied to BNC for hemostatic applications. Subsequently, we outline the different methods used for the production of BNC-based artificial vascular grafts and to generate vasculature in tissue engineered constructs. This sequential organization enables a clear and concise discussion of the various modifications of BNC for different blood-contacting biomedical applications and highlights the diverse and versatile nature of BNC as a natural biomaterial.

Abstract
With the development of modern material science, life science and medical science, implantation materials are widely employed in clinical fields. In recent years, these materials have also evolved from inert supports or functional substitutes to bioactive materials able to trigger or promote the regenerative potential of tissues. Reasonable biological evaluation of implantation materials is the premise to make sure their safe application in clinical practice. With the continual development of implantation materials and the emergence of new implantation materials, new challenges to biological evaluation have been presented. In this paper, the research progress of implantation materials, the progress of biological evaluation methods, and also the characteristics of biocompatibility evaluation for novel implantation materials, like animal-derived implantation materials, nerve contact implantation materials, nanomaterials and tissue-engineered medical products were reviewed in order to provide references for the rational biological evaluation of implantable materials.

Abstract
Short designer self-assembling peptide (dSAP) biomaterials are a new addition to the hemostat group. It may provide a diverse and robust toolbox for surgeons to integrate wound microenvironment with much safer and stronger hemostatic capacity than conventional materials and hemostatic agents. Especially in noncompressible torso hemorrhage (NCTH), diffuse mucosal surface bleeding, and internal medical bleeding (IMB), with respect to the optimal hemostatic formulation, dSAP biomaterials are the ingenious nanofiber alternatives to make bioactive neural scaffold, nasal packing, large mucosal surface coverage in gastrointestinal surgery (esophagus, gastric lesion, duodenum, and lower digestive tract), epicardiac cell-delivery carrier, transparent matrix barrier, and so on. Herein, in multiple surgical specialties, dSAP-biomaterial-based nano-hemostats achieve safe, effective, and immediate hemostasis, facile wound healing, and potentially reduce the risks in delayed bleeding, rebleeding, post-operative bleeding, or related complications. The biosafety in vivo, bleeding indications, tissue-sealing quality, surgical feasibility, and local usability are addressed comprehensively and sequentially and pursued to develop useful surgical techniques with better hemostatic performance. Here, the state of the art and all-round advancements of nano-hemostatic approaches in surgery are provided. Relevant critical insights will inspire exciting investigations on peptide nanotechnology, next-generation biomaterials, and better promising prospects in clinics.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic shock is the primary cause of death in patients with severe trauma, and the development of rapid and efficient hemostatic methods is of great significance in saving the lives of trauma patients. In this study, a polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofiber membrane was prepared by electrospinning. A PCL-PDA loading system was developed by modifying the surface of polydopamine (PDA), using inspiration from mussel adhesion protein, and the efficient and stable loading of thrombin (TB) was realized to ensure the bioactivity of TB. The new thrombin loading system overcomes the disadvantages of harsh storage conditions, poor strength, and ease of falling off, and it can use thrombin to start a rapid coagulation cascade reaction, which has the characteristics of fast hemostasis, good biocompatibility, high safety, and a wide range of hemostasis. The physicochemical properties and biocompatibility of the PCL-PDA-TB membrane were verified by scanning electron microscopy, the cell proliferation test, the cell adhesion test, and the extract cytotoxicity test. Red blood cell adhesion, platelet adhesion, dynamic coagulation time, and animal models all verified the coagulation effect of the PCL-PDA-TB membrane. Therefore, the PCL-PDA-TB membrane has great potential in wound hemostasis applications, and should be widely used in various traumatic hemostatic scenarios.

Abstract
Hemorrhage is a detrimental event present in traumatic injury, surgery, and disorders of bleeding that can become life-threatening if not properly managed. Moreover, uncontrolled bleeding can complicate surgical interventions, altering the outcome of surgical procedures. Therefore, to reduce the risk of complications and decrease the risk of morbidity and mortality associated with hemorrhage, it is necessary to use an effective hemostatic agent that ensures the immediate control of bleeding. In recent years, there have been increasingly rapid advances in developing a novel generation of biomaterials with hemostatic properties. Nowadays, a wide array of topical hemostatic agents is available, including chitosan-based biomaterials that have shown outstanding properties such as antibacterial, antifungal, hemostatic, and analgesic activity in addition to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and wound-healing effects. This review provides an analysis of chitosan-based hemostatic biomaterials and discusses the progress made in their performance, mechanism of action, efficacy, cost, and safety in recent years.

Abstract
Chitin is a natural polymeric polysaccharide extracted from marine crustaceans, and chitosan is obtained by removing part of the acetyl group (usually more than 60 %) in chitin's structure. Chitosan has attracted wide attention from researchers worldwide due to its good biodegradability, biocompatibility, hypoallergenic and biological activities (antibacterial, immune and antitumor activities). However, research has shown that chitosan does not melt or dissolve in water, alkaline solutions and general organic solvents, which greatly limits its application range. Therefore, researchers have carried out extensive and in-depth chemical modification of chitosan and prepared a variety of chitosan derivatives, which have expanded the application field of chitosan. Among them, the most extensive research has been conducted in the pharmaceutical field. This paper summarizes the application of chitosan and chitosan derivatives in medical materials over the past five years.

Abstract
The choice of hemostatic technique is a curial concern for surgery and as first-aid treatment in combat. To treat uncontrolled bleeding in complex wound environments, chitosan-based hemostatic sponges have attracted significant attention in recent years because of the excellent biocompatibility, degradability, hemostasis and antibacterial properties of chitosan and their unique sponge-like morphology for high fluid absorption rate and priority aggregation of blood cells/platelets to achieve rapid hemostasis. In this review, we provide a historical perspective on the use of chitosan hemostatic sponges as the new generation of hemostatic materials for uncontrolled bleeding emergencies in complex wounds. We summarize the modification of chitosan, review the current status of preparation protocols of chitosan sponges based on various composite systems, and highlight the recent achievements on the detailed breakdown of the existing chitosan sponges to present the relationship between their composition, physical properties, and hemostatic capacity. Finally, the future opportunities and challenges of chitosan hemostatic sponges are also proposed.

Abstract
The present research aims to describe a new methodology to obtain biocompatible hydrogels based on Aloe vera used for wound healing applications. The properties of two hydrogels (differing in Aloe vera concentration, AV5 and AV10) prepared by an all-green synthesis method from raw, natural, renewable and bioavailable materials such as salicylic acid, allantoin and xanthan gum were investigated. The morphology of the Aloe vera based hydrogel biomaterials was studied by SEM analysis. The rheological properties of the hydrogels, as well as their cell viability, biocompatibility and cytotoxicity, were determined. The antibacterial activity of Aloe vera based hydrogels was evaluated both on Gram-positive, Staphylococcus aureus and on Gram-negative, Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains. The obtained novel green Aloe vera based hydrogels showed good antibacterial properties. In vitro scratch assay demonstrated the capacity of both AV5 and AV10 hydrogels to accelerate cell proliferation and migration and induce closure of a wounded area. A corroboration of all morphological, rheological, cytocompatibility and cell viability results indicates that this Aloe vera based hydrogel may be suitable for wound healing applications.

Abstract
Hemorrhage is the leading cause of death following battlefield injuries. Although several hemostats are commercially available, they do not meet all the necessary requirements to stop bleeding in combat injuries. Here, we engineer thermoresponsive shear-thinning hydrogels (T-STH) composed of a thermoresponsive polymer, poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (p(NIPAM)), and hemostatic silicate nanodisks, LAPONITE®, as minimally invasive injectable hemostatic agents. Our T-STH is a physiologically stable hydrogel that can be easily injected through a syringe and needle and exhibits rapid mechanical recovery. Additionally, it demonstrates temperature-dependent blood coagulation owing to the phase transition of p(NIPAM). It decreases in vitro blood clotting times over 50% at physiological temperatures compared to room temperature. Furthermore, it significantly prevents blood loss in an ex vivo bleeding model at different blood flow rates (1 mL min-1 and 5 mL min-1) by forming a wound plug. More importantly, our T-STH is comparable to a commercially available hemostat, Floseal, in terms of blood loss and blood clotting time in an in vivo rat liver bleeding model. Furthermore, once the hemorrhage is stabilized, our T-STH can be easily removed using a cold saline wash without any rebleeding or leaving any residues. Taken together, our T-STH can be used as a first aid hemostat to treat external hemorrhages in emergency situations.

Characterization and Analysis of Chitosan-Gelatin Composite-Based Biomaterial Effectivity as Local Hemostatic Agent: A Systematic Review. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15030575.

Abstract
Chitosan and gelatin were the most widely used natural materials in pharmaceutical and medical fields, especially as local hemostatic agents, independently or as a composite material with the addition of other active substances. Chitosan and gelatin have excellent properties in biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-toxicity and water absorption capacity. The objective of this review was to analyze the characteristics of chitosan-gelatin (CG) composite-based biomaterial and its effectivity as a local hemostatic agent. We used PRISMA guidelines and the PICO framework to compile this review. The findings demonstrated that the CG composite-based biomaterial had excellent physical, chemical, mechanical properties and local hemostatic agent activity by adding other active substances such as oxidized fibers (OF), silica nanoparticles (SiNPs), calcium (Ca) and biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) or by setting the CG composite proportion ratio.

Abstract
Bleeding caused by trauma or surgery is a serious health problem, and uncontrollable bleeding can result in death. Therefore, developing safe, effective, and convenient hemostatic materials is important. Active hemostatic agents currently used to investigate the field of hemostasis are divided into four broad categories: natural polymers, synthetic polymers, inorganic materials, and metal-containing materials. Hemostatic materials are prepared in various forms for wound care applications based on the active ingredients used. These materials include nanofibers, gels, sponges, and nanoparticles. Hemostatic materials find their applications in the field of wound care, and they are also used for hemostasis during malignant tumor surgery. Prompt and effective hemostasis can reduce the possibility of the spread of tumor cells with blood. This review discusses the outcomes of current research conducted in the field and the problems persisting in the field of developing hemostatic materials. The review also presents a platform for the further development of hemostatic materials.

Abstract
Uncontrollable blood loss is the greatest cause of mortality in prehospital patients and the main source of disability and death in hospital care. Compared with external hemostats, intravenous hemostats are more appropriate for preventing and treating uncontrolled bleeding in vivo and large bleeding on the body surface. This Review initially establishes intravenous hemostats' response basis, including the coagulation mechanism, fibrinolytic pathway, and protein corona. Second, the study of advancement of intravenous hemostat targeting was expanded from two perspectives, cellular hemostatic agents and synthetic hemostatic agents. Meanwhile, after discussing the progress of controlled-release intravenous hemostats with platelets as the stimuli, this Review offers insight into the possibility of controlled-release intravenous hemostats with microenvironment as the stimuli, combining the studies of controlled-release targeted thrombolysis.
