Abstract
Hemoadhican (HD) is an exopolysaccharide with a branched structure that has been reported for its high hemostatic ability. In this study, a HD-based hemostatic sponge was prepared through ultrasonic dissolution and freeze-drying without using any cross-linking agent. The sponge could spontaneously cross-link using hydrogen bonds to form adhesive mud within 3 s upon contact with blood. This sponge-mud mixture adhered tightly to the wound tissue, forming a pressure-resistant physical barrier that captures and locks in blood cells and platelets. Simultaneously, the hydrophobic methyl groups of HD sponges repel blood inwardly, effectively sealing the wound. The brush-like structure of HD molecules was suspected to penetrate wet tissues through topological entanglement, thereby enhancing wet adhesion. Compared with gauze and gelatin sponges, HD sponges achieved more effective hemostasis in animal models using rat and rabbit femoral arteries. In particular, HD sponges showed excellent hemostasis in heparin-induced hemorrhage models in mice and pigs. The in vivo experiment demonstrated the excellent biosafety of the HD sponge. Conclusively, the HD sponge is a safe and efficient rapid hemostatic material that is expected to become an alternative material for clinical hemostatic procedures.

Abstract
Chitin and its deacetylated form, chitosan, have demonstrated remarkable versatility in the realm of biomaterials. Their exceptional biocompatibility, antibacterial properties, pro- and anticoagulant characteristics, robust antioxidant capacity, and anti-inflammatory potential make them highly sought-after in various applications. This review delves into the mechanisms underlying chitin/chitosan's biological activity and provides a comprehensive overview of their derivatives in fields such as tissue engineering, hemostasis, wound healing, drug delivery, and hemoperfusion. However, despite the wealth of studies on chitin/chitosan, there exists a notable trend of homogeneity in research, which could hinder the comprehensive development of these biomaterials. This review, taking a clinician's perspective, identifies current research gaps and medical challenges yet to be addressed, aiming to pave the way for a more sustainable future in chitin/chitosan research and application.

Abstract
In emergencies, uncontrolled severe bleeding can result in undesired complications and even death of the injured. Designing advanced hemostatic agents is a potential solution for emergency hemostasis, yet it remains challenging to realize the persistent adhesion in a wet wound environment. In this study, based on dynamic reversible Schiff base bond and photo-initiated double-bond polymerization, a novel injectable hemostatic hydrogel (L-COC) consisting of methacrylated carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCSMA), oxidized konjac glucomannan (OKGM) and (+)-catechin hydrate (CH) was synthesized for emergency hemostasis. To our delight, the incorporated CH imparted enhanced blood procoagulantion to the L-COC hydrogel by intensifying the hydrogel-red blood cell interactions. As a result, the hemostatic effect of the engineered L-COC hydrogel was significantly superior to that of fluid gelatin SurgifloTM for liver bleeding wounds in rats (Blood loss: 0.62 ± 0.11 g (L-COC), 0.90 ± 0.08 g (SurgifloTM); hemostasis time: 69.0 ± 2.9 s (L-COC), 84.0 ± 2.2 s (SurgifloTM)). With the favorable antioxidant and antibacterial activities, as well as multifunctional properties, the bio-adhesive L-COC hydrogel and the underlying design principles may facilitate further development of practical hemostatic hydrogels.

[PMID: 39131629 PMCID: PMC11314896 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2024.07.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/07/2024] [Indexed: 08/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Hemostatic materials are essential for managing acute bleeding in medical settings. Chitosan (CS) shows promise in hemostasis but its underlying mechanism remains incompletely understood. We unexpectedly discovered that certain protonated-chitosan (PCS) rapidly assembled plasma proteins to form protein membrane (PM) upon contact with platelet-poor plasma (PPP). We hypothesized that the novel observation was intricately related to the procoagulant effect of chitosan. Herein, the study aimed to elucidate the conditions necessary and mechanism for PM formation, identify the proteins within the PM and PCS's procoagulant action at the molecule levels. We confirmed that the amount of -NH3 + groups (>4.9 mmol/g) on PCS molecules played a crucial role in promoting coagulation. The -NH3 + group interacted with blood's multiple active components to exert hemostatic effects: assembling plasma proteins including coagulation factors such as FII, FV, FX, activating blood cells and promoting the secretion of coagulation-related substances (FV, ADP, etc) by platelets. Notably, the hemostatic mechanism can be extended to protonated-chitosan derivatives like quaternized, alkylated, and catechol-chitosan. In the blood clotting index (BCI) experiment, compared to other groups, PCS95 achieved the lowest BCI value (∼6 %) within 30 s. Protonated-chitosan exhibited excellent biocompatibility and antibacterial properties, with PCS95 demonstrating inhibition effectiveness of over 95 % against Escherichia coli (E.coil) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Moreover, PCS performed enhanced hemostatic effectiveness over chitosan-based commercially agents (Celox™ and ChitoGauze®XR) in diverse bleeding models. In particular, PCS95 reduced bleeding time by 70 % in rabbit models of coagulopathy. Overall, this study investigated the coagulation mechanism of materials at the molecular level, paving the way for innovative approaches in designing new hemostatic materials.

Abstract
Wounds, characterized by the disruption of the continuity of body tissues resulting from external trauma, manifest in diverse types and locations. Although numerous wound dressings are available for various wound scenarios, it remains challenging to find an integrative wound dressing capable of addressing diverse wound situations. We focused on utilizing sulfated hyaluronan (sHA), known for its anti-inflammatory properties and capacity to load cationic drugs. By conjugating catechol groups to sHA (sHA-CA), we achieved several advantages in wound healing: 1) Fabrication of patches through crosslinking with catechol-modified high-molecular-weight hyaluronan (HA(HMW)-CA), 2) Adhesiveness that enabled stable localization, 3) Radical scavenging that could synergize with the immunomodulation of sHA. The sHA-CA patches demonstrated therapeutic efficacy in three distinct murine wound models: diabetic wound, hepatic hemorrhage, and post-surgical adhesion. Collectively, these findings underscore the potential of the sHA-CA patch as a promising candidate for the next-generation wound dressing.

Abstract
Minimally invasive blood-contacting interventional devices are increasingly used to treat cardiovascular diseases. However, the risk of device-related thrombosis remains a significant concern, particularly the formation of cycling thrombi, which pose life-threatening risks. To better understand the interactions between these devices and blood, the initial stages of coagulation contact activation on extrinsic surfaces are investigated. Direct force measurements reveals that activated contact factors stimulate the intrinsic coagulation pathway and promote surface crosslinking of fibrin. Furthermore, fibrin aggregation is disrupted by surface-grafted inhibitors, as confirmed by ex vivo coagulation tests. An engineered serum protein with zwitterion grafts to resist the deposition of biological species such as fibrin, platelets, and red blood cells is also developed. Simultaneously, a protease inhibitor-based coacervate is incorporated into the coating to inhibit the intrinsic pathway effectively. The loaded coacervate can be released and reloaded through modulation of catechol-amine interactions, facilitating material regeneration. The strategy offers a novel multi-scale mediation strategy that simultaneously inhibits nanoscale coagulation factors and resists microscale thrombus aggregation, providing a long-term solution for anticoagulation in blood-contacting devices.

Abstract
Acquiring rapid and effective hemostasis remains a critical clinical challenge. Current researches focus on concentrating blood components to speed up the hemostatic while ignore the effect of anti-fibrinolysis in promoting blood coagulation. Herein, we designed a novel tranexamic acid (TA)-loaded physicochemical double cross-linked multifunctional catechol-modified hyaluronic acid-dopamine/carboxymethyl chitosan porous gel micropowders (TA&Fe3+@HA-DA/CMCS PGMs) for rapid hemostasis and wound healing. TA&Fe3+@HA-DA/CMCS PGMs exhibited high water absorption rate (505.9 ± 62.1 %) and rapid hemostasis (79 ± 4 s) in vivo. Catechol groups, Fe3+ and the protonated amino groups of CMCS induced bacterial death. Moreover, TA&Fe3+@HA-DA/CMCS PGMs displayed sufficient adhesion to a variety of wet rat tissues. TA&Fe3+@HA-DA/CMCS PGMs on various bleeding wounds, including rat liver injury and tail severed models showed excellent hemostasis performance. The TA&Fe3+@HA-DA/CMCS PGMs could promote the healing of full-thickness skin wounds on the backs of rats. The advantages of TA&Fe3+@HA-DA/CMCS PGMs including rapid hemostasis, effective wound healing, good tissue adhesion, antibacterial properties and ease of use make it potentially valuable in clinical application.

Abstract
Despite great progress in the hydrogel hemostats and dressings, they generally lack resistant vascular bursting pressure and intrinsic bioactivity to meet arterial massive hemorrhage and proheal wounds. To address the problems, we design a kind of biomimetic and wound microenvironment-modulating PEGylated glycopolypeptide hydrogels that can be easily injected and gelled in ∼10 s. Those glycopolypeptide hydrogels have suitable tissue adhesion of ∼20 kPa, high resistant bursting pressure of ∼150 mmHg, large microporosity of ∼15 μm, and excellent biocompatibility with ∼1% hemolysis ratio and negligible inflammation. They performed better hemostasis in rat liver and rat and rabbit femoral artery bleeding models than Fibrin glue, Gauze, and other hydrogels, achieving fast arterial hemostasis of <20 s and lower blood loss of 5-13%. As confirmed by in vivo wound healing, immunofluorescent imaging, and immunohistochemical and histological analyses, the mannose-modified hydrogels could highly boost the polarization of anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype and downregulate pro-inflammatory tumor necrosis factor-α to relieve inflammation, achieving complete full-thickness healing with thick dermis, dense hair follicles, and 90% collagen deposition. Importantly, this study provides a versatile strategy to construct biomimetic glycopolypeptide hydrogels that can not only resist vascular bursting pressure for arterial massive hemorrhage but also modulate inflammatory microenvironment for wound prohealing.

Abstract
Wounds caused by trauma and/or surgery represent a significant challenge in contemporary medical practice, requiring innovative approaches to promote optimal healing and reduce the risk of bleeding and complications resulting from it. In this context, chitosan, a natural polysaccharide derived from chitin, represents an ideal material for the study and application of medical devices, in the form of dressings, in wound management for pre- and/or post-operative wounds due to its ability to induce hemostasis and its high biocompatibility with biological tissues. The aim of this work was to discuss the structural characteristics, properties and application of chitosan-based hemostatic dressings in hemostatic processes resulting from pre- or post-surgical approaches.

Abstract
Since the discovery of polyphenolic underwater adhesion in marine mussels, researchers strive to emulate this natural phenomenon in the development of adhesive hemostatic materials. In this study, bio-inspired hemostatic materials that lead to pseudo-active blood coagulation, utilizing traditionally passive polymer matrices of chitosan and gelatin are developed. The two-layer configuration, consisting of a thin, blood-clotting catechol-conjugated chitosan (CHI-C) layer and a thick, barrier-functioning gelatin (Geln) ad-layer, maximizes hemostatic capability and usability. The unique combination of coagulant protein-free condition with CHI-C showcases not only coagulopathy-independent blood clotting properties (efficacy) but also exceptional clinical potential, meeting all necessary biocompatibility evaluation (safety) without inclusion of conventional coagulation triggering proteins such as thrombin or fibrinogen. As a result, the CHI-C/Geln is approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS, Republic of Korea) as a class II medical device. Hemostatic efficacy observed in multiple animal models further demonstrates the superiority of CHI-C/Geln sponges in achieving quick hemostasis compared to standard treatments. This study not only enriches the growing body of research on mussel-inspired materials but also emphasizes the potential of biomimicry in developing advanced medical materials, contributing a promising avenue toward development of readily accessible and affordable hemostatic materials.

Abstract
The modulus of traditional biomedical hydrogels increases exponentially meditated by dehydration-stiffing mechanism, which leads to the failure of interface matching between hydrogels and soft tissue wounds. It is found in the study that the dual-solvent gels exhibit dehydration-toughening mechanism with the slowly increasing modulus that are always match the soft tissue wounds. Therefore, dual-solvent glycerol hydrogels (GCFen-gly DGHs) are prepared with hydrophobically modified catechol chitosan (hmCSC) and gelatin based on the supramolecular interactions. GCFen-gly DGHs exhibit excellent water retention capacity with a total solvent content exceeding 80%, permanent skin-like modulus within a range of 0.45 to 4.13 kPa, and stable photothermal antibacterial abilities against S, aureus, E. coli, as well as MRSA. Infectious full-thickness rat skin defect model and tissue section analysis indicate that GCFen-gly DGHs are able to accelerate infectious wound healing by alleviating the inflammatory response, promoting granulation tissue growth, re-epithelialization, collagen deposition, and vascular regeneration. As a result, GCFen-gly DGHs is expected to become the next-generation biological gel materials for infectious wound treatment.

Abstract
The recovery of infectious wound tissues presents a significant global health challenge due to the impediments posed by the harsh healing microenvironment, which includes ongoing bacterial invasion, high oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and impaired angiogenesis. To overcome the above issues, we propose a composite hydrogel based on the multiple-crosslinked mechanism involving the covalent network of CC bonds within catechol and maleic-modified HA (CMHA), the self-assembly network of glycyrrhizic acid (GA), and the metal-polyphenol coordination induced by ZHMCe for accelerating infectious wound healing. The resulting CMHA/GA/ZHMCe hydrogels demonstrate enhanced mechanical, adhesive, antioxidative, and antibacterial properties. Importantly, the hydrogel system possesses wound environment-responsive properties that allow it to adapt to the specific therapeutic requirements of different stages by regulating various enzyme activities in the healing of infected wounds. Furthermore, the biocompatible CMHA/GA/ZHMCe shows the ability to promote cell migration and angiogenesis in vitro while reprogramming macrophages toward an anti-inflammatory phenotype due to the effective release of active ingredients. In vivo experiments confirm that the CMHA/GA/ZHMCe hydrogel significantly enhances infectious wound healing by accelerating re-epithelialization, promoting collagen deposition, regulating inflammation, and contributing to vascularization. These findings underscore the therapeutic potential of our hydrogel dressings for the treatment of bacterially infected cutaneous wound healing.

Abstract
Arrest of bleeding usually applies clotting agents to trigger coagulation procedures or adhesives to interrupt blood flow through sealing the vessel; however, the efficiency is compromised. Here, we propose a concept of integration of hemostasis and adhesion via yam mucus's microgels. The mucus microgels exhibit attractive attributes of hydrogel with uniform size and shape. Their shear-thinning, self-healing and strong adhesion make them feasible as injectable bioadhesion. Exceptionally, the blood can trigger the microgels' gelation with the outcome of super extensibility, which leads to the microgels a strong hemostatic agent. We also found a tight gel adhesive layer formed upon microgels' contacting the blood on the tissue, where there is the coagulation factor XIII triggered to form a dense three-dimensional fibrin meshwork. The generated structures show that the microgels look like hard balls in the dispersed phase into the blood-produced fibrin mesh of a soft net phase. Both phases work together for a super-extension gel. We demonstrated the microgels' fast adhesion and hemostasis in the livers and hearts of rabbits and mini pigs. The microgels also promoted wound healing with good biocompatibility and biodegradability.

Abstract
Massive bleeding resulting from civil and martial accidents can often lead to shock or even death, highlighting the critical need for the development of rapid and efficient hemostatic materials. While various types of hemostatic materials are currently utilized in clinical practice, they often come with limitations such as poor biocompatibility, toxicity, and biodegradability. Polysaccharides, such as alginate (AG), chitosan (CS), cellulose, starch, hyaluronic acid (HA), and dextran, have exhibit excellent biocompatibility and in vivo biodegradability. Their degradation products are non-toxic to surrounding tissues and can be absorbed by the body. As a result, polysaccharides have been extensively utilized in the development of hemostatic materials and have gained significant attention in the field of in vivo hemostasis. This review offers an overview of the different forms, hemostatic mechanisms, and specific applications of polysaccharides. Additionally, it discusses the future opportunities and challenges associated with polysaccharide-based hemostats.

Abstract
Developing a self-elastic sponge integrating active and passive hemostatic mechanisms for the effective management of uncontrolled coagulopathic hemorrhage remains a challenge. We here developed a chitosan-based sponge by integrating freeze-drying, chemical decoration of alkyl chains and phosphate groups, and physical loading of thrombin. The sponge exhibited high mechanical strength, self-elasticity, and rapid shape recovery. The sponge facilitated blood cell adhesion, aggregation, and activation through hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions, as well as accelerated blood clotting. The sponge exhibited higher efficacy than commercial gauze and gelatin sponge in managing uncontrolled hemorrhage from heparinized rat tail amputation, liver superficial injury, and liver perforating wound models. In addition, the sponge exhibited favorable biodegradability and biocompatibility. These findings revealed that the developed sponge holds great potential as a novel hemostat for effectively managing uncontrolled coagulopathic hemorrhage from superficial and perforating wounds.

Abstract
Uncontrollable massive bleeding caused by trauma will cause the patient to lose a large amount of blood and drop body temperature quickly, resulting in hemorrhagic shock. This study aims to develop a hemostatic product for hemorrhage management. In this study, waste pomelo peel as raw material is chosen. It underwent processes of carbonization, purification, and freeze-drying. The obtained carbonized pomelo peel (CPP) is hydrophilic and exhibits a porous structure (nearly 80% porosity). The water/blood absorption ratio is significantly faster than the commercial Gelfoam and has a similar water/blood absorption capacity. In addition, the CPP showed a water-triggered shape-recoverable ability. Moreover, the CPP shows ideal cytocompatibility and blood compatibility in vitro and favorable tissue compatibility after long terms of subcutaneous implantation. Furthermore, CPP can absorb red blood cells and fibrin. It also can absorb platelets and activate platelets, and it is capable of achieving rapid hemostasis on the rat tail amputation and hepatectomized hemorrhage model. In addition, the CPP not only can quickly stop bleeding in the rat liver-perforation and rabbit heart uncontrolled hemorrhage models, but also promotes rat liver and rabbit heart tissue regeneration in situ. These results suggest the CPP has shown great potential for managing uncontrolled hemorrhage.

Abstract
The need for the development of soft materials capable of stably adhering to nerve tissues without any suturing followed by additional damages is at the fore at a time when success in postoperative recovery depends largely on the surgical experience and/or specialized microsuturing skills of the surgeon. Despite fully recognizing such prerequisite conditions, designing the materials with robust adhesion to wet nerves as well as acute/chronic anti-inflammation remains to be resolved. Herein, a sticky and strain-gradient artificial epineurium (SSGAE) that overcomes the most critically challenging aspect for realizing sutureless repair of severely injured nerves is presented. In this regard, the SSGAE with a skin-inspired hierarchical structure entailing strain-gradient layers, anisotropic Janus layers including hydrophobic top and hydrophilic bottom surfaces, and synergistic self-healing capabilities enables immediate and stable neurorrhaphy in both rodent and nonhuman primate models, indicating that the bioinspired materials strategy significantly contributes to translational medicine for effective peripheral nerve repair.

Abstract
Apart from single hemostasis, antibacterial and other functionalities are also desirable for hemostatic materials to meet clinical needs. Cationic materials have attracted great interest for antibacterial/hemostatic applications, and it is still desirable to explore rational structure design to address the challenges in balanced hemostatic/antibacterial/biocompatible properties. In this work, a series of cationic microspheres (QMS) were prepared by the facile surface modification of microporous starch microspheres with a cationic tannic acid derivate, the coating contents of which were adopted for the first optimization of surface structure and property. Thermoresponsive gels with embedded QMS (F-QMS) were further prepared by mixing a neutral thermosensitive polymer and QMS for second structure/function optimization through different QMS and loading contents. In vitro and in vivo results confirmed that the coating content plays a crucial role in the hemostatic/antibacterial/biocompatible properties of QMS, but varied coating contents of QMS only lead to a classical imperfect performance of cationic materials. Inspiringly, the F-QMS-4 gel with an optimal loading content of QMS4 (with the highest coating content) achieved a superior balanced in vitro hemostatic/antibacterial/biocompatible properties, the mechanism of which was revealed as the second regulation of cell-material/protein-material interactions. Moreover, the optimal F-QMS-4 gel exhibited a high hemostatic performance in a femoral artery injury model accompanied by the easy on-demand removal for wound healing endowed by the thermoresponsive transformation. The present work offers a promising approach for the rational design and facile preparation of cationic materials with balanced hemostatic/antibacterial/biocompatible properties.

Abstract
Uncontrolled hemorrhage arising from surgery or trauma may cause morbidity and even mortality. Therefore, facilitating control of severe bleeding is imperative for health care worldwide. Among diverse hemostatic materials, chitosan (CS) is becoming the most promising material owing to its non-toxic feature, as well as inherently hemostatic performance. However, further enhancing hemostatic property of CS-based materials without compromising more beneficial functions remains a challenge. In this review, representative hemostatic mechanisms of CS-based materials are firstly discussed in detail, mostly including red blood cells (RBCs) aggregation, platelet adherence and aggregation, as well as interaction with plasma proteins. Also, various forms (involving powder/particle, sponge, hydrogel, nanofiber, and other forms) of CS-based hemostatic materials are systematically summarized, mainly focusing on their design and preparation, characteristics, and comparative analysis of various forms. In addition, varied hemostatic applications are described in detail, such as skin wound hemostasis, liver hemostasis, artery hemostasis, and heart hemostasis. Finally, current challenges and future directions of functional design of CS-based hemostatic materials in diverse hemostatic applications are proposed to inspire more intensive researches.

Abstract
Enriching erythrocytes and platelets in seconds and providing a fast seal in bleeding sites is vital to fatal hemorrhage control. Herein, hydrophilic chitosan fibrous mats (CECS-D mats) are fabricated by introducing hydrophilic carboxyethyl groups and subsequent catechol groups onto chitosan fibers. Due to strong hydrophilicity, CECS-D mats exhibit rapid liquid-absorption capacity, especially instantaneous absorptivity to the rabbit blood, which can achieve erythrocyte and platelet aggregations quickly by concentrating blood, thus promoting the formation of blood clots. Furthermore, the mats are self-oxidated to form quinone-amine adducts or quinone multimers by adjusting pH conditions, which not only provides tissue adhesion but also induces erythrocyte aggregation and platelet adhesion, further enhancing the seal and triggering quick closure to achieve fast hemostasis. Therefore, the mats reveal superior hemostatic performance in rabbit liver and spleen models over CECS mats and gauze. Especially in the fatal femoral artery injury model of rabbits, the mats reduce the blood loss by ∼75% and shortened the bleeding time by ∼50% compared with CECS mats, which have been reported to have the same hemostatic effect as commercialized Celox products in a swine femoral artery injury model. Besides, the mats are cytocompatible and degradable as well as antibacterial. This chitosan mat is a promising hemostatic material for fatal hemorrhage control.

Abstract
Trauma requires immediate hemostasis during primary care, as well as durable hemostasis that can withstand dynamic wound exposure. Although current hemostatic materials can treat bleeding sites in emergency situations, their mechanical strength and storage conditions limit their practical application. The simultaneous combination of good mechanical properties, storage stability, biocompatibility, and rapid hemostasis of hemostatic materials remains a challenge. In this paper, a novel hemostatic material based on multiple non-covalent bond crosslinking, which has excellent mechanical properties, good biocompatibility, storage stability, and rapid hemostasis ability, is reported. Under the drive of multiple non-covalent bonds, the flowability of hydrogel micro-modules (HM) decreases rapidly within 20 s after exposure to physiological saline. The HM form a gel barrier with a tensile strength of 62.10 kPa and an elongation at break of 1976% under multiple non-covalent bonding. Furthermore, the mechanical properties do not change significantly after 30 days of storage. Cell viability is maintained at over 80% after 3 days of incubation with the cells, and the hemolysis test shows a very low hemolysis rate (2.08%). The hemostatic gel formed by HM effectively prevents secondary bleeding in dynamic hemostasis experiments simulating transportation. This work provides a hemostatic material with comprehensive properties for practical applications.

Abstract
Apart from the wide and safe application of natural polymer-based hemostatic materials/devices, it is still desirable to develop new types of hemostatic materials that can achieve both potent coagulopathic hemostasis and a facile preparation process. In this work, one Janus gelatin sponge (J-ZGS) is readily constructed for both coagulation-dependent and coagulopathic hemostasis by embedding zein nanoparticles on the surface of a self-prepared gelatin sponge (S-GS): zein nanoparticles were facilely prepared by an antisolvent method to achieve procoagulant blood-material interactions, while S-GS was prepared by freeze-drying a foaming gelatin solution. Due to the distinct secondary structure, the optimal zein nanoparticles possessed a higher in vitro hemostatic property than the pristine zein powder and other nanoparticles, the underlying mechanism of which was revealed as the superior RBC/platelet adhesion property in the presence/absence of plasma proteins. Compared with S-GS and a commercial gelatin sponge, J-ZGS achieved a significantly higher in vitro hemostatic property and similarly good blood compatibility/cytocompatibility. Moreover, in vivo artery-injury models confirmed the outstanding hemostatic performance of J-ZGS under both coagulation-dependent and coagulopathic conditions. Our work offers an appealing approach for developing potent hemostatic sponges from natural polymer-based nanoparticles that could be further extended to versatile hemostatic materials for coagulopathic hemostasis.

Abstract
Polymer-based hemostatic materials/devices have been increasingly exploited for versatile clinical scenarios, while there is an urgent need to reveal the rational design/facile approach for procoagulant surfaces through regulating blood-material interactions. In this work, degradable powders (PLPS) and thermoresponsive gels (F127-PLPS) are readily developed as promising hemostatic materials for versatile clinical applications, through tuning blood-material interactions with optimized grafting of cationic polylysine: the former is facilely prepared by conjugating polylysine onto porous starch particle, while F127-PLPS is prepared by the simple mixture of PLPS and commercial thermosensitive polymer. In vitro and in vivo results demonstrate that PLPS2 with the optimal-/medium content of polylysine grafts achieve the superior hemostatic performance. The underlying procoagulant mechanism of PLPS2 surface is revealed as the selective fibrinogen adsorption among the competitive plasma-protein-adsorption process, which is the foundation of other blood-material interactions. Moreover, in vitro results confirm the achieved procoagulant surface of F127-PLPS through optimal PLPS2 loading. Together with the tunable thermoresponsiveness, F127-PLPS exhibits outstanding hemostatic utilization in both femoral-artery-injury and renal-artery-embolization models. The work thereby pioneers an appealing approach for generating versatile polymer-based hemostatic materials/devices.

Abstract
Polycatecholamine coatings have attracted significant attention in the past 10 years owing to their ability to functionalize a wide range of materials. Here we apply the use of such coatings to drug nanocrystals, made from a poorly soluble drug compound, to postfunctionalize the nanocrystal surface with the aim of providing steric stabilization and extending their circulation time after intravenous injection. We show that both polydopamine and polynorepinephrine can be used to successfully modify drug nanocrystals and subsequently incorporate end-functionalized PEG to the surface. Even though high grafting densities of PEG were achieved, we observed rapid clearance and increased liver uptake for polycatecholamine functionalized drug nanocrystals. Using both surface sensitive model systems and protein corona profiling, we determine that the rapid clearance was correlated with an increase in adsorption of proteins involved in coagulation to the polycatecholamine surface, with fibrinogen being the most abundant. Further analysis of the most abundant proteins revealed a significant increase in thiol-rich proteins on polycatecholamine coated surfaces. The observed interaction with coagulation proteins highlights one of the current challenges using polycatecholamines for drug delivery but might also provide insights to the growing use of these materials in hemostatic applications.

Abstract
Uncontrollable acute bleeding and wound infection pose significant challenges in emergency treatment and surgical operations. Therefore, the research and development of highly efficient antibacterial hemostatic agents are of great importance in reducing the mortality rate among patients with massive hemorrhage. In this study, we utilized hydrophobically modified chitosan (HM-CS) and gallic acid chitosan (GA-CS) to create a composite sponge (HM/GA-CS) that exhibits complementary advantages. The composite sponge combines the alkyl chain and polyphenol structure, allowing it to adsorb blood cells and plasma proteins simultaneously. This synergistic effect was confirmed through various tests, including blood cell adhesion, plasma protein barrier behavior, and in vitro hemostatic testing. Furthermore, experiments conducted on a rat liver injury model demonstrated that the composite sponge achieved rapid coagulation within 52 s, resulting in significantly lower bleeding volume compared with traditional gauze. In addition, the incorporation of GA-CS into HM-CS enhanced the antibacterial properties of the composite sponge. The antibacterial rate of the composite sponge against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) reached 100 % and 98.2 %, respectively. To evaluate its biocompatibility, the composite sponge underwent blood compatibility and cell activity tests, confirming its suitability. The HM/GA-CS sponge holds promising applications in managing cases of massive hemorrhage.

Abstract
Hemostatic sealant is required to deal with blood loss, especially in the scenario of traumatic brain injury (TBI), which presents high rates of morbidity and disability. Hemostasis in surgery with traditional gelatin-based sealants often leads to blood loss and other issues in brain because of the hydrophilic gelatin swelling. Herein, hydrophobic effects on the hemostasis in TBI surgery are studied by tuning the chain length of polystyrene (PS) onto methylacrylated gelatin (Gel-MA). The hydrophobicity and hemostatic efficiency can be tuned by controlling the length of PS groups. The platelet activation of modified sealants Gel-MA-2P, Gel-MA-P, and Gel-MA-0.5P is as much as 17.5, 9.1, and 2.1 times higher than Gel-MA in vitro. The hemostatic time of Gel-MA-2P, Gel-MA-P, and Gel-MA-0.5P groups is 2.0-, 1.6-, and 1.1-folds faster than that in Gel-MA group in TBI mice. Increased formation of fibrins and platelet aggregation can also be observed in vitro by scanning electron microscopy. Animal's mortality is lowered by 46%, neurologic deficiency is reduced by 1.5 times, and brain edema is attenuated by 10%. Protein expression is further investigated to exhibit toxic iron-related processes caused by delayed hemostasis and activation of platelets via PI3K/PKC-α signaling. The hydrophobic Gel-MA has the potential in hemostatic TBI and promotes nervous system recovery in brain with the potentials in clinics.

Abstract
Wet adhesion is critical in cases of wound closure, but it is usually deterred by the hydration layer on tissues. Inspired by dopamine-mediated underwater adhesion in mussel foot proteins, wet tissue adhesives containing catechol with 2-3 carbons side chains are reported mostly. To make wet adhesion of this type of adhesives much tougher, catechol derivatives with a long aliphatic side chain (≈10 atoms length) are synthesized. Then, a series of strong wet tissue adhesive hydrogels are prepared through photoinduced copolymerization of acrylic acid with synthetic monomers. The adhesive hydrogel has a high cohesion strength, that is, tensile strength and strain, and toughness of ≈1800 kPa, ≈540%, and ≈4100 kJ m-3 , respectively. Its interfacial toughness on wet and underwater porcine skin is respectively ≈1300 and ≈1100 J m-2 , and its adhesion strength to wet porcine skin is ≈153 kPa. These values are much higher than those of dopamine-based adhesives in the same conditions, demonstrating that the long aliphatic side chain on catechol can greatly improve the wet tissue-adhesion. Additionally, the tough interfacial adhesion can be broken on demand with 5 wt.% aqueous urea solution. This adhesive hydrogel is highly promising in safe wound closure.

Abstract
Introduction Cell-membrane nanocarriers are usually constructed by modifying the nanoparticle surface with cell membrane extracts, which has a direct benefit in endowing targeting capacity to nanocarriers based on their original cell types. However, delivering nucleic acid cargos by cell membrane-based nanoparticles is difficult owing to the strong negative charge of the cell membrane fraction. In this study, we developed a cancer cell membrane-based drug delivery system, the cMDS, for efficient siRNA delivery. Meanwhile, the cancer-specific immune response stimulated by the gene vector itself could offer synergistic anti-cancer ability. Methods The cMDS was prepared by ultrasound, and its transfection efficiency and anti-cancer ability were examined using cultures of CT26 cells. MTT and red blood cell hemolysis tests were performed to assess the safety of cMDS, while its targeted gene delivery and strong immune stimulation were investigated in a subcutaneous tumor model. Moreover, the detailed anti-cancer immune stimulation mechanisms of cMDS are uncovered by protein chip analysis. Results The cMDS was spherical core-shell structure. It showed high transfection efficiency and anti-cancer ability in vitro. In animal experiments, intravenously administered cMDS/siStat3 complex efficiently suppress the growth of colon cancer. Moreover, the result of protein chip analysis suggested that cMDS affect the migration and chemotaxis of immune cells. Conclusion The cMDS shows obvious tumor tissue-specific accumulation properties and strong immune stimulation ability. It is an advanced targeted gene delivery system with potent immunotherapeutic properties.

Abstract
Efficient hemorrhage control of severe wound injuries is an urgent medical need, deserving agents with promising blood coagulation and biocompatible characteristics. Current work developed polydopamine (PDA) functionalized porous starch powder (PS-PDA) for emergency bleeding treatment. The micro-morphology and elements, chemical groups, and porosity of PS-PDA were systematically characterized. Its comparison with porous starch (PS) revealed the promising potential of this composite in medical practice. On one hand, PS-PDA showed superior surface area and biomineralization affinity over PS, along with comparable hemo/cyto-compatibility. On the other hand, the photothermal effect of PDA under near Infrared (NIR) light paved the possibility to accelerate blood coagulation in situ. In vivo studies indicated PS-PDA can significantly reduce blood loss and improvement of hemostasis efficiency accompanied by NIR light exposure. These results suggest that this newly developed PS-PDA powder can serve as a promising hemostatic material for bleeding wound control.

Abstract
Hydrogels are used in wound dressings because of their tissue-like softness and biocompatibility. However, the clinical translation of hydrogels remains challenging because of their long-term stability, water swellability, and poor tissue adhesiveness. Here, tannic acid (TA) is introduced into a double network (DN) hydrogel consisting of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) to realize a tough, self-healable, nonswellable, conformally tissue-adhesive, hemostatic, and antibacterial hydrogel. The TA within the DN hydrogel forms a dynamic network, enabling rapid self-healing (within 5 min) and offering effective energy dissipation for toughness and viscoelasticity. Furthermore, the hydrophobic moieties of TA provide a water-shielding effect, rendering the hydrogel nonswellable. A simple chemical modification to the hydrogel further strengthens its interfacial adhesion with tissues (shear strength of ≈31 kPa). Interestingly, the TA also can serve as an effective hemostatic (blood-clotting index of 58.40 ± 1.5) and antibacterial component, which are required for a successful wound dressing. The antibacterial effects of the hydrogel are tested against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Finally, the hydrogel is prepared in patch form and applied to a mouse model to test in vivo biocompatibility and hemostatic performances.

Abstract
In traumatized patients, the primary cause of mortality is uncontrollable continuous bleeding and unexpected intraoperative bleeding which is likely to increase the risk of complications and surgical failure. High expansion sponges are effective clinical practice for the treatment of wound bleeding (irregular/deep/narrow) that are caused by capillaries, veins and even arterioles as they possess a high liquid absorption ratio so can absorb blood platelets easily in comparison with traditional haemostasis treatments, which involve compression, ligation, or electrical coagulation etc. When in contact with blood, haemostatic sponges can cause platelet adhesion, aggregation, and thrombosis, preventing blood from flowing out from wounds, triggering the release of coagulation factors, causing the blood to form a stable polymerized fibre protein, forming blood clots, and achieving the goal of wound bleeding control. Haemostatic sponges are found in a variety of shapes and sizes. The aim of this review is to facilitate an overview of recent research around haemostatic sponge materials, products, and technology. This paper reviews the synthesis, properties, and characteristics of haemostatic sponges, together with the haemostasis mechanisms of haemostatic sponges (composite materials), such as chitosan, cellulose, gelatin, starch, graphene oxide, hyaluronic acid, alginate, polyethylene glycol, silk fibroin, synthetic polymers silver nanoparticles, zinc oxide nanoparticles, mesoporous silica nanoparticles, and silica nanoparticles. Also, this paper reviews commercial sponges and their properties. In addition to this, we discuss various in-vitro/in-vivo approaches for the evaluation of the effect of sponges on haemostasis.

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
Uncontrolled bleeding is the leading cause of death, and the death risk of bleeding from coagulopathy is even higher. By infusing the relevant coagulation factors, bleeding in patients with coagulopathy can be clinically treated. However, there are not many emergency hemostatic products accessible for coagulopathy patients. In response, a Janus hemostatic patch (PCMC/CCS) with a two-layer structure of partly carboxymethylated cotton (PCMC) and catechol-grafted chitosan (CCS) was developed. Ultra-high blood absorption (4000 %) and excellent tissue adhesion (60 kPa) were both displayed by PCMC/CCS. The proteomic analysis revealed that PCMC/CCS has significantly contributed to the creative generation of FV, FIX, and FX, as well as to the substantial enrichment of FVII and FXIII, re-paving the initially blocked coagulation pathway of coagulopathy to promote hemostasis. The in vivo bleeding model of coagulopathy demonstrated that PCMC/CCS was substantially more effective than gauze and commercial gelatin sponge at achieving hemostasis in just 1 min. The study provides one of the first investigations on procoagulant mechanisms in anticoagulant blood conditions. Rapid hemostasis in coagulopathy will be significantly affected by the results of this experiment.

Abstract
Blood vessel anastomosis by suture is a life-saving, yet time-consuming and labor-intensive operation. While suture-less alternatives utilizing clips or related devices are developed to address these shortcomings, suture anastomosis is still overwhelmingly used in most cases. In this study, practical "less-suture" strategies are proposed, rather than ideal "suture-less" methods, to reflect real-world clinical situations. In the case of rat artery (d = 0.64 mm) anastomosis, the less-suture anastomosis involves the application of thin, adhesive, transparent, and self-wrapping films to the site. This surprisingly reduces the number of stitches required from ten (without films) to four (with films), saving 27 min of operating time per vessel. Furthermore, the decreased number of stitches largely alleviates fibrosis-mediated wall-thickening. Thus, a less-suture strategy is particularly useful for anastomosis of multiple vessels in emergency conditions and small-diameter vessels.

Abstract
Tissue adhesives have garnered extensive interest as alternatives and supplements to sutures, whereas major challenges still remain, including weak tissue adhesion, inadequate biocompatibility, and uncontrolled biodegradation. Here, injectable and biocompatible hydrogel adhesives are developed via catalyst-free o-phthalaldehyde/amine (hydrazide) cross-linking reaction. The hydrogels demonstrate rapid and firm adhesion to various tissues, and an o-phthalaldehyde-mediated tissue adhesion mechanism is established. The hydrogel adhesives show controlled degradation profiles of 6 to 22 weeks in vivo through the incorporation of disulfide bonds into hydrogel network. In liver and blood vessel injury, the hydrogels effectively seal the incisions and rapidly stop bleeding. In rat and rabbit models of full-thickness skin incision, the hydrogel adhesives quickly close the incisions and accelerate wound healing, which exhibit efficacies superior to those of commercially available fibrin glue and cyanoacrylate glue. Thus, the hydrogel adhesives show great potential for sutureless wound closure, hemostasis sealing, and prevention of leakage in surgical applications.

Abstract
Hydrogels are widely used as wound dressings for wound healing, but when hydrogels absorb wound exudate, swelling occurs and compresses the surrounding tissue, affecting healing. A chitosan injectable (CS/4-PA/CAT) hydrogel based on catechol and 4-glutenoic acid was prepared to avoid swelling and promote wound healing. After cross-linking by UV light, pentenyl groups formed hydrophobic alkyl chains which give the hydrogel a hydrophobic network and thus control its swelling. CS/4-PA/CAT hydrogels retained their non-swelling for a long time in PBS solution at 37 °C. CS/4-PA/CAT hydrogels had good injectable and adhesive properties, and had a good killing effect on E. coli and S. aureus and could remove the bacterial biofilms of E. coli and S. aureus. CS/4-PA/CAT hydrogels had good in vitro coagulation function by absorbing red blood cells and platelets. When used in a whole skin injury model, CS/4-PA/CAT-1 hydrogel stimulated fibroblast migration, promoted epithelialization and accelerated collagen deposition to promote defect healing, and showed good hemostatic effects in liver and femoral artery defects in mice. In summary, the non-swelling injectable hydrogel with free radical scavenging, rapid hemostasis, and antibacterial effects would be a promising treatment for defect repair.

[PMID: 37445718 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241310540] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2023] [Revised: 06/14/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
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
Uncontrolled hemorrhage is still the most common cause of potentially preventable death after trauma in prehospital settings. However, there rarely are hemostatic materials that can achieve safely and efficiently rapid hemostasis simultaneously. Here, new carbonized cellulose-based aerogel hemostatic material is developed for the management of noncompressible torso hemorrhage, the most intractable issue of uncontrolled hemorrhage. The carbonized cellulose aerogel is derived from the Agaricus bisporus after a series of processing, including cutting, carbonization, purification, and freeze-drying. In vitro, the carbonized cellulose aerogels with porous structure show improved hydrophilicity, good blood absorption, and coagulation ability, rapid shape recoverable ability under wet conditions. And in vivo, the carbonized aerogels show effective hemostatic ability in both small and big animal serious hemorrhage models. The amount of blood loss and the hemostatic time of carbonized aerogels are all better than the positive control group. Moreover, the mechanism studies reveal that the good hemostatic ability of the carbonized cellulose aerogel is associated with high hemoglobin binding efficiency, red blood cell absorption, and platelets absorption and activation. Together, the carbonized aerogel developed in this study could be promising for the management of uncontrolled hemorrhage.

Abstract
Here we develop and characterize a dual-cross-linked pH-responsive hydrogel based on the carboxyethyl chitosan-oxidized sodium alginate (CAO) containing silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) functionalized with tannic acid/red cabbage (ATR). This hybrid hydrogel is formed via covalent and non-covalent cross-linking. The adhesive strength measured in contact with cow skin and compression strength is measured more than 3 times higher than that of CAO. Importantly, the incorporation of 1 wt% ATR into CAO significantly enhances the compression strength of CAO from 35.1 ± 2.1 kPa to 97.5 ± 2.9 kPa. Moreover, the cyclic compression tests confirm significantly higher elastic behavior of CAO after the addition of ATR-functionalized NPs to CAO. The CAO/ATR hydrogel is pH-sensitive and indicated remarkable color changes in different buffer solutions. The CAO/ATR also shows improved hemostatic properties and reduced clotting time compared to the clotting time of blood in contact with CAO hydrogel. In addition, while CAO/ATR is effective in inhibiting the growth of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, CAO is only effective in inhibiting the growth of Gram-positive bacteria. Finally, the CAO/ATR hydrogel is cytocompatible with L929 fibroblasts. In summary, the resulting CAO/ATR hydrogel shows promising results in designing and constructing smart wound bioadhesives with high cytocompatibility, antibacterial properties, blood coagulation ability, and fast self-healing properties.

Abstract
Blood loss by hemorrhaging wounds accounts for over one-third of ∼5 million trauma fatalities worldwide every year. If not controlled in a timely manner, exsanguination can take lives within a few minutes. Developing new biomaterials that are easy to use by non-expert patients and promote rapid blood coagulation is an unmet medical need. Here, biocompatible, and biodegradable microneedle arrays (MNAs) based on gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) biomaterial hybridized with silicate nanoplatelets (SNs) are developed for hemorrhage control. The SNs render the MNAs hemostatic, while the needle-shaped structure increases the contact area with blood, synergistically accelerating the clotting time from 11.5 min to 1.3 min in vitro. The engineered MNAs reduce bleeding by ∼92% compared with the untreated injury group in a rat liver bleeding model. SN-containing MNAs outperform the hemostatic effect of needle-free patches and a commercial hemostat in vivo via combining micro- and nanoengineered features. Furthermore, the tissue adhesive properties and mechanical interlocking support the suitability of MNAs for wound closure applications. These hemostatic MNAs may enable rapid hemorrhage control, particularly for patients in developing countries or remote areas with limited or no immediate access to hospitals.

Abstract
It remains a challenge to develop effective hemostatic products in battlefield rescue for noncompressible massive hemorrhage. Some previous research had concentrated on the modification of different materials to improve the hemostasis ability of sponges. Herein, to investigate the relationship between the taper of microchannels and hemostatic performance of porous sponges, gelatin methacryloyl-based sponges with designed conical microchannels and a disordered porous structure were prepared using the 3D printing method and freeze-drying technology. Experiments and theoretical model analysis demonstrated that the taper and distribution of microchannels in the sponge affected the water and blood absorption properties, as well as the expansion ability. In treatment of SD rat liver defect and SD rat liver perforation wound, GS-1 sponge with the taper (1/15) microchannels exhibited an excellent hemostatic effect with blood loss of 0.866 ± 0.093 g and a hemostasis time of 280 ± 10 s. Results showed that the hemostatic capacities of GelMA sponges were increased with the bottom diameter (taper) of conical microchannels. This is a potential strategy to develop designed taper sponges with designed taper microchannels for rapidly controlling hemorrhage.

Abstract
Death happening due to massive hemorrhage has been involved in military conflicts, traffic accidents, and surgical injuries of various human disasters. Achieving rapid and effective hemostasis to save lives is crucial in urgent massive bleeding situations. Herein, a covalent cross-linked AG-PEG glue based on extracellular matrix-like amino-gelatin (AG) and PEG derivatives is developed. The AG-PEG glue gelatinizes fast and exhibits firm and indiscriminate close adhesion with various moist tissues upon being dosed. The formed glue establishes an adhesive and robust barrier to seal the arterial, hepatic, and cardiac hemorrhagic wounds, enabling it to withstand up to 380 mmHg blood pressure in comparison with normal systolic blood pressure of 60-180 mmHg. Remarkably, massive bleeding from a pig cardiac penetrating hole with 6 mm diameter is effectively stopped using the glue within 60 s. Postoperative indexes of the treated pig gradually recover and the cardiac wounds regrow significantly at 14 days. Possessing on-demand solubility, self-gelling, and rapid degradability, the AG-PEG glue may provide a fascinating stop-bleeding approach for clinical hemostasis and emergency rescue.

Abstract
Death from lethal hemorrhage remains a major problem in various emergency scenarios. There is a continuous interest in the development of absorbable hemostatic dressings that can control hemorrhage rapidly and can be left in the wound site without removal. In this study, we report a hemostatic gauze dressing based on N-carboxyethyl chitosan (CECS) gelling fibers. The CECS fibrillar gauze combines ultra-hydrophilic, cationic chemical property of the fiber components with the fluffy nonwoven material form, exhibiting good conformability for wound filling, high fluid uptaking capacity, and enhanced blood-concentrating effect. In a swine femoral artery injury model, the CECS fibrillar gauze achieves shorter time to hemostasis and less blood loss compared with commercially available hemostatic dressings. This chitosan gelling fiber gauze demonstrates comparable bioabsorbability to clinically used absorbable hemostat and thus may be applied to treat fatal hemorrhage both in emergency medical services and in internal surgical procedures.

Abstract
The development of injectable hydrogels with good biocompatibility, self-healing, and superior hemostatic properties is highly desirable in emergency and clinical applications. Herein, we report an in situ injectable and self-healing hemostatic hydrogel based on choline phosphoryl functionalized chitosan (CS-g-CP) and oxidized dextran (ODex). The CP groups were hypothesized to accelerate hemostasis by facilitating erythrocyte adhesion and aggregation. Our results reveal that the CS-g-CP/ODex hydrogels exhibit enhanced blood clotting and erythrocyte adhesion/aggregation capacities compared to those of the CS/ODex hydrogels. The CS-g-CP50/ODex75 hydrogel presents rapid gelation time, good mechanical strength and tissue adhesiveness, satisfactory bursting pressure, and favorable biocompatibility. The hemostatic ability of the CS-g-CP50/ODex75 hydrogel was significantly improved compared to that of the CS/ODex hydrogel and commercial fibrin sealant in the rat tail amputation and liver/spleen injury models. Our study highlights the positive and synergistic effects of CP groups on hemostasis and strongly supports the CS-g-CP50/ODex75 hydrogel as a promising adhesive for hemorrhage control.

Abstract
Uncontrolled bleeding remains one of the direct causes of high mortality. There is an urgent need for developing emergency hemostats capable of coping with uncontrolled bleeding. The commercial starch-based hemostatic powder (PerClot®) requires compression during application, which limits its application in hemostasis of irregular and non-compressed wounds. Herein, a boronic acid-modified thiol starch sponge (St-SP sponge) with self-gelling properties was developed for hemorrhage control. The results show that the St-SP sponge could quickly absorb blood, self-gel and self-heal to seal the bleeding sites. In addition, the St-SP sponge can rapidly initiate the coagulation cascade and promote the adhesion and aggregation of erythrocytes and platelets. The St-SP sponge exhibited significantly improved in vitro and in vivo hemostatic abilities as compared with PerClot. Notably, the St-SP sponge attained complete hemostasis without any compression in 61.5 s and made a great difference compared to PerClot (169 s) for the irregular wound constructed on the rabbit liver. In addition, the St-SP sponge had good hemocompatibility and cytocompatibility. It turns out that the newly developed St-SP sponge is a promising material for first-aid hemostasis of irregular and non-compressed wounds.

Abstract
The discovery of natural adhesion phenomena and mechanisms has advanced the development of a new generation of tissue adhesives in recent decades. In this study, we develop a natural biological adhesive from snail mucus gel, which consists a network of positively charged protein and polyanionic glycosaminoglycan. The malleable bulk adhesive matrix can adhere to wet tissue through multiple interactions. The biomaterial exhibits excellent haemostatic activity, biocompatibility and biodegradability, and it is effective in accelerating the healing of full-thickness skin wounds in both normal and diabetic male rats. Further mechanistic study shows it effectively promotes the polarization of macrophages towards the anti-inflammatory phenotype, alleviates inflammation in chronic wounds, and significantly improves epithelial regeneration and angiogenesis. Its abundant heparin-like glycosaminoglycan component is the main active ingredient. These findings provide theoretical and material insights into bio-inspired tissue adhesives and bioengineered scaffold designs.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogels have recently emerged as alternatives to sutures for various clinical indications. However, existing injectable hydrogels are unsuitable for hemostasis in minimally invasive surgery because of their weak interfacial adhesion and complex/prolonged processing. Herein, a superwetting injectable hydrogel composed of oppositely charged polysaccharides is developed. The spontaneous spreading of the injectable hydrogel on the surfaces achieves complete wetting and forms tight interfacial contact by absorbing the interfacial water. The superwetting ability and subsequent covalent crosslinking perform fast and ultrastrong wet adhesion (140 kPa) on the tissue surface. Ex vivo porcine and in vivo rat models show that the hydrogel successfully leads to the aggregation of erythrocytes for targeted hemostasis (in less than 12 s) without requiring external adjuncts, and no postsurgical adhesions to the peripheral tissues. This further demonstrates that hydrogel can act as an effective hemostasis agent in laparoscopic surgery in a rabbit model. Overall, the strong wet adhesion, antibacterial properties, and easy operability make this injectable hydrogel a promising candidate for hemostasis applications, as it can successfully combine clinical efficacy and transformation opportunities for minimally invasive surgery.

Abstract
Nanochitin and nanochitosan (with random-copolymer-based multiscale architectures of glucosamine and N-acetylglucosamine units) have recently attracted immense attention for the development of green, sustainable, and advanced functional materials. Nanochitin and nanochitosan are multiscale materials from small oligomers, rod-shaped nanocrystals, longer nanofibers, to hierarchical assemblies of nanofibers. Various physical properties of chitin and chitosan depend on their molecular- and nanostructures; translational research has utilized them for a wide range of applications (biomedical, industrial, environmental, and so on). Instead of reviewing the entire extensive literature on chitin and chitosan, here, recent developments in multiscale-dependent material properties and their applications are highlighted; immune, medical, reinforcing, adhesive, green electrochemical materials, biological scaffolds, and sustainable food packaging are discussed considering the size, shape, and assembly of chitin nanostructures. In summary, new perspectives for the development of sustainable advanced functional materials based on nanochitin and nanochitosan by understanding and engineering their multiscale properties are described.

Abstract
Development of rapid and effective hemostatic materials has always been the focus of research in the healthcare field. Nanofibrous materials which recapitulate the delicate nano-topography feature of fibrin fibers produced during natural hemostatic process, offer large length-to-diameter ratio and surface area, tunable porous structure, and precise control in architecture, showing great potential for staunching bleeding. Here we present a comprehensive review of advances in nanofibrous hemostatic materials, focusing on the following three important parts: structural design, fabrication methods, and hemostatic mechanisms. This review begins with an introduction to the physiological hemostatic mechanism and current commercial hemostatic agents. Then, it focuses on recent progress in electrospun nanofibrous hemostatic materials in terms of composition and structure control, surface modification, and in-situ deposition. The article emphasizes the development of three-dimensional (3D) electrospun nanofibrous materials and their emerging evolution for improving hemostatic function. Next, it discusses the fabrication of self-assembling peptide or protein-mimetic peptide nanofibers, co-assembling supramolecular nanofibers, as well as other nanofibrous hemostatic agents. Further, the article highlights the external and intracavitary hemostatic management based on various nanofiber aggregates. In the end, this review concludes with the current challenges and future perspectives of nanofibrous hemostatic materials. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This article reviews recent advances in nanofibrous hemostatic materials including fabrication methods, composition and structural control, performance improvement, and hemostatic mechanisms. A variety of methods including electrospinning, self-assembly, grinding and refining, template synthesis, and chemical vapor deposition, have been developed to prepare nanofibrous materials. These methods provide robustness in control of the nanofiber architecture in the forms of hydrogels, two-dimensional (2D) membranes, 3D sponges, or composites, showing promising potential in the external and intracavitary hemostasis and wound healing applications. This review will be of great interest to the broad readers in the field of hemostatic materials and multifunctional biomaterials.
