[PMID: 40420670 DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202501467] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2025] [Revised: 05/13/2025] [Indexed: 05/28/2025]
Abstract
Hydrogels are recognized for their excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, making them promising candidates for hemostatic materials, especially in cases of intra-abdominal bleeding or injury to vital organs. In this study, a mussel-inspired adhesive hemostatic hydrogel, GMOD, is developed, which features injectability, outstanding biocompatibility, and biodegradability. The hydrogel is synthesized through Schiff base crosslinking of oxidized dextran and gelatin, enhanced with dopamine to form a robust double network structure. This unique double network not only provides mechanical stability but also significantly enhances tissue adhesion as well as the adhesion of red blood cells and platelets, resulting in a 76% reduction in bleeding in a mouse liver hemorrhage model. Additionally, the incorporation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) into GMOD enables sustained release, promoting skin wound healing and reducing inflammatory responses in mice. In summary, a highly adhesive, injectable, and rapid hemostatic hydrogel is presented that demonstrates considerable potential for use in intra-abdominal hemostasis, leveraging the advantages of a double network structure to enhance its performance.

Abstract
When the barrier function of the skin tissue is destroyed, the burn wound is prone to bacterial infection and difficult to repair during the healing process. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design functional dressing materials to promote burn wound repairing. In this research, injectable hydrogel with mussel-inspired tissue adhesion was fabricated from dopamine grafted oxidized pectin (OP-DA) and hydrazide terminated polyethylene oxide (PEO-AH) as dressing material for burn wounds. The catechol moiety on the grafted dopamine (DA) enhanced the tissue adhesion of hydrogel and the wound sealing performance, which can well adhere onto the skin to cover irregular wounds for consistent sealing under body moving. On this basis, the hydrogel also showed hemostatic performance based on liver and tail hemostasis model. The hydrogel was further loaded with gallic acid (GA) to enhance the antibacterial property to E. coli and S. aureus to inhibit wound infection. Along with good biocompatibility and biodegradability, the hydrogel showed improved burn wound repairing performance to second-degree burn wound models on mice. As a result, the OP-DA/PEO-AH hydrogel showed great advantage as GA carrier in wound healing applications.

Abstract
Wound inflammation is a key issue in wound healing as it often causes serious complications and delays wound healing. In this study, hemostatic and antimicrobial hydrogels composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), chitosan (CS) and gelatin (Gel) were prepared. Phenylboronic acid (3-CPBA) and tannic acid (TA) were introduced to modify the multinetwork hydrogel to promote wound repair. PGCPT-1.2 hydrogel had a water content of >85 % and was biocompatible. Due to the antibacterial effect of chitosan itself. The PGCPT hydrogel exhibited 100 % antimicrobial activity against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus within 12 h. The hydrogel exhibited shape memory behavior and self-healing ability. Histological analysis showed that PGCPT-1.2 hydrogel reduced tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels by accelerating collagen deposition. The wound healing rate at day 14 was 97 % ± 0.4 %. PGCPT-1.2 hydrogel dressing with 1.2 % TA addition had the best effect in promoting wound healing, and it is a promising dressing for promoting wound healing and a therapeutic strategy worth developing.

Abstract
The development of new hemostatic agents is crucial for advancing medical treatments and improving outcomes in surgical and trauma settings, where controlling bleeding is often a critical challenge. Herein, we developed and characterized the physicochemical properties and hemostatic potential of Ca/ε-aminocaproic acid/dextran phosphate composite hydrogels. The phosphorylation of dextran in the system tributyl phosphate - orthophosphoric acid - phosphorus (V) oxide - chloroform at 30 °C with the formation of hydrogels was studied in detail. We explored physical and chemical properties of the hydrogels, including rheology, swelling, and morphology. Additionally, the sorption kinetics and isotherms of ε-aminocaproic acid by the hydrogels were studied, revealing a maximum sorption capacity of 80 %. The hydrogels rapidly released ε-aminocaproic acid in vitro at 37 °C in PBS. Significantly, they demonstrated in vitro effectiveness by reducing blood clotting time, enhancing the clotting index, and showing minimal hemolysis. In vivo tests further indicated that these hydrogels markedly decreased bleeding time and average blood loss in a rat liver hemorrhage model, surpassing control experiments. These results suggest that Ca/ε-aminocaproic acid/dextran phosphate hydrogels are effective in controlling bleeding and show promise as a future hemostatic agent.

Abstract
This research explores the structural composition and antioxidant abilities of pectins extracted from Adenophora tetraphylla (Thunb.) Fisch. Pectins, which are a complex group of acidic polysaccharides, exhibit various biological activities due to their unique structural domains. Following aqueous extraction, the pectins underwent sequential purification using ion exchange and gel permeation chromatography techniques. FT-IR and NMR techniques were used to elucidate their structural characteristics. The structural investigation was enhanced through the application of multiple characterization methods: Congo red binding analysis, circular dichroism measurements, and scanning electron microscopy imaging. Among the isolated pectins, WATP-A2b (22.5 kDa) and WATP-A3b (49.8 kDa) demonstrated significant variations in their structural domain organization, comprising different ratios of homogalacturonan, rhamnogalacturonan I, and rhamnogalacturonan II. WATP-A3b displayed the most potent antioxidant performance among the tested pectins, effectively scavenging all three free radical species, which may be correlated with its higher galacturonic acid proportion and substantial rhamnogalacturonan I domain presence. These experimental results provide valuable insights into the correlation between structural characteristics and biological functions of pectins derived from Adenophora tetraphylla and their potential applications in healthcare.

Abstract
Skin wound repair, a highly integrated and overlapping complex process, is susceptible to infection, excessive inflammation, high oxidative stress, which can prolong the wound healing time or even lead to chronic wound. Meanwhile, single-layer hydrogels are unavoidably dehydrated usually due to water evaporation, which is not conducive to wound healing. Therefore, a bilayer hydrogel dressing composed of gelatin (G) and sodium alginate (A) loaded with ciprofloxacin (C) and curcumin (Cur) was manufactured by extrusion 3D bioprinting technology in this study, which is denoted as GACCur. The experimental results showed that the bilayer hydrogel loaded with 50 µg/mL of Cur (GACCur50) had excellent antibacterial properties and high antioxidative activity with a 54.35 ± 0.48% DPPH scavenging ratio. In addition, this GACCur50 bilayer hydrogel exhibited the capacity to mitigate the polarization of inflammatory cells toward pro-inflammatory states, observably reducing the expression of pertinent pro-inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, the bilayer hydrogel dressing also showed good biocompatibility as assessed by live-dead fluorescent staining, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and CCK-8 test. Therefore, the GACCur50 bilayer hydrogel dressing is promising for wound healing.

Abstract
Bleeding and bacterial infection are common problems associated with wound treatment, while effective blood clotting and vessel regeneration promotion are the primary considerations to design the wound dressing materials. This research presents a chitosan-based hydrogel with grafted quaternary ammonium and polyphosphate (QCSP hydrogel) as the antibacterial hemostatic dressing to achieve burn wound treatment. The tissue adhesion of the hydrogel sealed the blood flow and the polyphosphate grafted to the chitosan promoted the activation of coagulation factor V to enhance the hemostasis. At the same time, the grafted quaternary ammonium enhanced the antibacterial ability of the biodegradable hydrogel wound dressing. In addition, the polydopamine as a photothermal agent was composited into the hydrogel to enhance the antibacterial and reactive oxygen scavenging performance. The in vivo hemostasis experiment proved the polyphosphate enhanced the coagulation property. Moreover, this photothermal property of the composite hydrogel enhanced the burn wound repairing rate combined with the NIR stimulus. As a result, this hydrogel could have potential application in clinic as dressing material for hemostasis and infection prone would repairing.

Abstract
Wound healing is a physiological process occurring after the onset of a skin lesion aiming to reconstruct the dermal barrier between the external environment and the body. Depending on the nature and duration of the healing process, wounds are classified as acute (e.g., trauma, surgical wounds) and chronic (e.g., diabetic ulcers) wounds. The latter, often affect millions of people globally, take months to heal or not heal non-healing chronic wounds, are typically susceptible to microbial infection, and are a major cause of morbidity. Wounds can be treated with a variety of non-surgical (topical formulations, wound dressings) and surgical (debridement, skin grafts/flaps) methods. Three-dimensional (3D)-(bio) printing and traditional wound dressings are two examples of modern experimental techniques. This review focuses on several types of anti-inflammatory wound dressings, especially focusing on hydrogels and traditional macro-fungi like L. rhinocerotis as agents that promote wound healing. In this study, we introduced novel anti-inflammatory hydrogel dressings and offered innovative methods for application and preparation to aid in the healing. Additionally, we summarize the key elements required for wound healing and discuss our analysis of potential future issues. These findings suggest that L. rhinocerotis and various anti-inflammatory hydrogels can be considered as conventional and alternative macro-fungi for the treatment of non-communicable diseases. We summarized the development of functional hydrogel dressings and traditional Lignosus rhinoceros used for wound healing agents in recent years, as well as the current situation and future trends, in light of their preparation mechanisms and functional effects.

Abstract
Flexible conductive hydrogels hold great promise for applications in motion and medical detection. It is difficult to produce conductive hydrogel epidermal sensors in wearable hydrogels with dependable adhesion, sensing, and wound-healing properties. Nano-Fe3O4 was used as physical cross-linking points in the polyacrylamide/polyvinyl alcohol double network (PP) to increase the strain capacity of the hydrogel. The conductive lignin-dopamine (LD) was immobilized on the surface of Fe3O4 particles, and the LD-coated Fe3O4 was then incorporated into the double network hydrogel to create the PP/LD/Fe3O4 hydrogel. This work was done to look into the possibility of using Fe3O4 hydrogels as flexible strain sensors. The addition of LD/Fe3O4 caused the composite hydrogel to strain up to 124 %, with a modulus of elasticity of 21,308 Pa and electrical conductivity as high as 2.3 S•m-1 following the introduction of LD/Fe3O4. Moreover, the PP/LD/Fe3O4 hydrogel's adhesive qualities offered adequate antimicrobial properties and promoted wound healing. These results indicate that the developed electricity-responsive and tissue-adhesive hydrogel dressing offers a candidate to serve as a tissue sealant for wound healing.

Abstract
The development of efficient hemostatic materials is crucial for achieving rapid hemorrhage control and effective wound healing. Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) is recognized as an effective modulator of the blood coagulation process. However, the specific effect of polyP chain length on coagulation is not yet fully understood. Furthermore, calcium ions (Ca2+) are essential for the coagulation process, promoting multiple enzyme-catalyzed reactions within the coagulation cascade. Hence, calcium ion-coupled polyphosphate powders with three different degrees of polymerization (CaPP-n, n = 20, 50, and 1500) are synthesized by an ion-exchange reaction. CaPP exhibits a crystalline phase at a low polymerization degree and transitions to an amorphous phase as the polymerization degree increases. Notably, the addition of Ca2+ enhances the wettability of polyP, and CaPP promotes hemostasis, with varying degrees of effectiveness related to chain length. CaPP-50 exhibits the most promising hemostatic performance, with the lowest blood clotting index (BCI, 12.1 ± 0.7%) and the shortest clotting time (302.0 ± 10.5 s). By combining Ca2+ with polyP of medium-chain length, CaPP-50 demonstrates an enhanced ability to accelerate the adhesion and activation of blood cells, initiate the intrinsic coagulation cascade, and form a stable blood clot, outperforming both CaPP-20 and CaPP-1500. The hemostatic efficacy of CaPP-50 is further validated using rat liver bleeding and femoral artery puncture models. CaPP-50 is proven to possess hemostatic properties comparable to those of commercial calcium-based zeolite hemostatic powder and superior to kaolin. In addition, CaPP-50 exhibits excellent biocompatibility and long-term storage stability. These results suggest that CaPP-50 has significant clinical and commercial potential as an active inorganic hemostatic agent for rapid control of bleeding.

Abstract
Superior multifunctional hydrogel dressings are of considerable interest in wound healing. In clinical practice, it is useful to investigate hydrogel dressings that offer multifunctional benefits to expedite the process of wound healing. In this study, Catechol-grafted Chitosan, Gelatin, and Fe3+ as substrates to construct a hydrogel network. The network was dynamically cross-linked to form Ccg@Fe hydrogel substrate. Fe3O4 nanoparticles and baicalin, which possess antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, were loaded onto the substrate to form a photothermal antibacterial composite hydrogel dressing (Ccg@Fe/Bai@Fe3O4 NPs). The Ccg@Fe hydrogel was characterised using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis). The morphological, mechanical, and adhesion properties of the hydrogel were determined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and a universal testing machine. The hydrogel's swelling, hemostasis, and self-healing properties were also evaluated. Additionally, the study determined the release rate of hydrogel-loaded antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory Baicalin (Ccg@Fe/Bai) and evaluated the photothermal antimicrobial properties of hydrogel-loaded Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Ccg@Fe/Bai@Fe3O4 NPs) through synergistic photothermal therapy (PTT). Histological staining of mice skin wound tissues using Masson and H&E revealed that the Ccg@Fe/Bai@Fe3O4 NPs hydrogel dressing demonstrated potential healing ability with the aid of PTT. The study suggests that this multifunctional hydrogel dressing has great potential for wound healing.

Abstract
Biodegradable self-healing hydrogels with antibacterial property attracted growing attentions in biomedication as wound dressings since they can prevent bacterial infection and promote wound healing process. In this research, a biodegradable self-healing hydrogel with ROS scavenging performance and enhanced tissue adhesion was fabricated from dopamine grafted oxidized pectin (OPD) and naphthoate hydrazide terminated PEO (PEO NH). At the same time, Fe3+ ions were incorporated to endow the hydrogel with near-infrared (NIR) triggered photothermal property to obtain antibacterial activity. The composite hydrogel showed good hemostasis performance based on mussel inspired tissue adhesion with biocompatibility well preserved. As expected, the composition of FeCl3 improved conductivity and endowed photothermal property to the hydrogel. The in vivo wound repairing experiment revealed the 808 nm NIR light triggered photothermal behavior of the hydrogel reduced the inflammation response and promoted wound repairing rate. As a result, this composite FeCl3/hydrogel shows great potential to be an excellent wound dressing for the treatment of infection prong wounds with NIR triggers.

Abstract
Dressings seamlessly attached to the open wound bed are necessary for fully unleashing the dressing healing ability, as leaving the voids beneath the dressing poses infection hazards. The present study prepared an instant mucus dressing (IMD) of polyethylene oxide (PEO) reinforced by chitosan (CS) nanofiber scaffold, which formed by immersing PEO/CS nanofiber mat in water. The PEO/CS nanofiber mat were fabricated by the solution blow spinning (SBS) method using PEO and CS mixed solutions. Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scan calorimetry (DSC) analyses indicate that PEO macromolecules formed the most of nanofiber shell due to their lower surface tension while CS macromolecules stayed mainly inside the fiber as the core. When such a PEO/CS nanofiber mat was immersed in water, PEO swelled to form mucus dressing reinforced by CS inside the nanofiber, which was fluidic and able to fully fill the voids on the wound. In vivo rat experiment verified that the dressing significantly accelerated the open wound healing through seamlessly attaching of mucus to the open wound and providing moist environment. The dressings exhibit good platelets and whole blood cells adhesion properties, excellent hemostasis function and no cytotoxicity. This instant mucus dressing provided a new perspective for manufacturing high performance open wound dressings.

Abstract
In cutaneous wound healing, an overproduction of inflammatory chemokines and bacterial infections impedes the process. Hydrogels can maintain a physiologically moist microenvironment, absorb chemokines, prevent bacterial infection, inhibit bacterial reproduction, and facilitate wound healing at a wound site. The development of hydrogels provides a novel treatment strategy for the entire wound repair process. Here, a series of Fructus Ligustri Lucidi polysaccharide extracts loaded with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and pectin hydrogels were successfully fabricated through the freeze-thaw method. A hydrogel containing a 1% mixing weight ratio of FLL-E (named PVA-P-FLL-E1) demonstrated excellent physicochemical properties such as swellability, water retention, degradability, porosity, 00drug release, transparency, and adhesive strength. Notably, this hydrogel exhibited minimal cytotoxicity. Moreover, the crosslinked hydrogel, PVA-P-FLL-E1, displayed multifunctional attributes, including significant antibacterial properties, earlier re-epithelialization, production of few inflammatory cells, the formation of collagen fibers, deposition of collagen I, and faster remodeling of the ECM. Consequently, the PVA-P-FLL-E1 hydrogel stands out as a promising wound dressing due to its superior formulation and enhanced healing effects in wound care.

Abstract
Self-healing hydrogels have shown great application potential in drug delivery for anti-tumor therapy and tissue engineering. In this research, Doxorubicin (DOX) was coupled onto the oxidized pectin (pec-Ald) to prepare DOX grafted pec-AD and used to fabricate self-healing hydrogel for lung cancer therapy combined with novel herbal medicine extract limonin targeting lung cancer cells. The hydrogel was prepared with P(NIPAM195-co-AH54) cross-linking and the hydrazone bond cross-linked hydrogel showed good mechanical property and self-healing behavior. With pectin composition, the hydrogel was still biodegradable catalyzed by enzyme and in vivo. The hydrogel formed fast fit for injectable application and the hydrogel itself showed moderate lung cancer inhibition activity. With limonin loading, the hydrogel showed synergistic lung cancer therapy with the tumor growth greatly inhibited. The covalent coupling of DOX and loaded limonin in the hydrogel decreased in vivo toxicity and the hydrogel degraded on time. With biodegradability and improved lung cancer therapy efficiency, this DOX grafted self-healing hydrogel could find great potential application in cancer therapy in near future.

Abstract
Rapid and effective control of non-compressible massive hemorrhage poses a great challenge in first-aid and clinical settings. Herein, a biopolymer-based powder is developed for the control of non-compressible hemorrhage. The powder is designed to facilitate rapid hemostasis by its excellent hydrophilicity, great specific surface area, and adaptability to the shape of wound, enabling it to rapidly absorb fluid from the wound. Specifically, the powder can undergo sequential cross-linking based on "click" chemistry and Schiff base reaction upon contact with the blood, leading to rapid self-gelling. It also exhibits robust tissue adhesion through covalent/non-covalent interactions with the tissues (adhesive strength: 89.57 ± 6.62 KPa, which is 3.75 times that of fibrin glue). Collectively, this material leverages the fortes of powder and hydrogel. Experiments with animal models for severe bleeding have shown that it can reduce the blood loss by 48.9%. Studies on the hemostatic mechanism also revealed that, apart from its physical sealing effect, the powder can enhance blood cell adhesion, capture fibrinogen, and synergistically induce the formation of fibrin networks. Taken together, this hemostatic powder has the advantages for convenient preparation, sprayable use, and reliable hemostatic effect, conferring it with a great potential for the control of non-compressible hemorrhage.

Abstract
Pectin is a complex and functionally rich natural plant polysaccharide that is widely used in food, medical, and cosmetic industries. It can be modified to improve its properties and expand its applications. Modification methods for natural pectin can be divided into physical, chemical, enzymatic, and compound methods. Different modification methods can result in modified pectins (MPs) exhibiting different physicochemical properties and biological activities. The objectives of this paper were to review the various pectin modification methods explored over the last decade, compare their differences, summarize the impact of different modification methods on the biological activity and physicochemical properties of pectin, and describe the applications of MPs in food and pharmaceutical fields. Finally, suggestions and perspectives for the development of MPs are discussed. This review offers a theoretical reference for the rational and efficient processing of pectin and the expansion of its applications.

Abstract
Inspired by the experience of relieving inflammation in infants with milk, antioxidant-engineered milk-derived extracellular vesicles (MEVs) are developed to evaluate their potential for accelerating wound healing. In this work, MEVs with polydopamines (PDA) are engineered using the co-extrusion method. Subsequently, the authors incorporated them into a Schiff-based crosslink hydrogel, forming a skin dosage form that could facilitate the wound healing process. The antioxidant properties of PDA assist in the anti-inflammatory function of engineered MEVs, while the gel provides better skin residency. The PDA@MEVs+GEL formulation exhibits excellent biocompatibility, pro-angiogenic capacity, and antioxidant ability in vitro. Furthermore, in vivo experiments demonstrate its efficacy in wound repair and inflammation inhibition. Mechanistically, PDA@MEVs+GEL simultaneously promotes the growth, migration, and anti-inflammation of 3T3 cells by activating PI3K-AKT pathway. Moreover, PDA@MEVs+GEL exhibits enhanced functionality in promoting wound healing in vivo, attributed to its ability to inhibit inflammation, stimulate angiogenesis, and promote collagen synthesis. In conclusion, this study delves into the mechanism of MEVs and underscores the improved efficacy of engineered extracellular vesicles. Additionally, the feasibility and prospect of engineered MEVs in treating skin wounds are verified, suggesting that antioxidant-engineered MEVs could be a promising therapeutic agent for wound healing applications.

Abstract
Poly(amino acid) based self-healing hydrogels have important application in biomedications. In this research, the catechol pendant groups were imported to poly(aspartic acid) based self-healing hydrogel to improved skin adhesion and ROS scavenging performance. The poly(succinimide) (PSI) was reacted with 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DA) and then hydraziolyzed to import catechol group and hydrazide group respectively, which are responsible for mussel inspired tissue adhesion and dynamic coupling reactivity. The dopamine modified poly(aspartic hydrazide) (PDAH) was reacted with PEO90 dialdehyde (PEO90 DA) to prepare hydrogels, and the resultant hydrogel showed good biocompatibility both in vitro and in vivo. The skin adhesion strength of the mussel inspired hydrogel increased notably with enhanced radical scavenging efficiency fit for in vivo wound repairing applications. The PDAH/PEO90 DA hydrogel also showed sustained albumin release profile and the in vivo wound repairing experiment proved the mouse Epidermal Growth Factor (mEGF) loaded hydrogel as wound dressing material accelerated the wound repairing rate.

Abstract
Polyphosphate (PolyP) is a polymer comprised of linear phosphate units connected by phosphate anhydride bonds. PolyP exists in a diverse range of eukaryotes and prokaryotes with varied chain lengths ranging from six to thousands of phosphate units. Upon activation, human platelets and neutrophils release short-chain PolyP, along with other components, to initiate the coagulation pathway. Long-chain PolyP derived from cellular or bacterial organelles exhibits higher proinflammatory and procoagulant effects compared to short-chain PolyP. Notably, PolyP has been identified as a low-hemorrhagic antithrombotic target since neutralizing plasma PolyP suppresses the thrombotic process without impairing the hemostatic functions. As an inorganic polymer without uniform steric configuration, PolyP is typically targeted by cationic polymers or recombinant polyphosphatases rather than conventional antibodies, small-molecule compounds, or peptides. Additionally, because of its procoagulant property, PolyP has been incorporated in wound-dressing materials to facilitate blood hemostasis. This review summarizes current studies on PolyP as a low-hemorrhagic antithrombotic target and the development of hemostatic materials based on PolyP.

Abstract
Diabetic wound is considered as a kind of chronic wound prone to infection and difficult to repair due to high glucose level in the blood of patients. In this research, a biodegradable self-healing hydrogel with mussel inspired bioadhesion and anti-oxidation properties is fabricated based on Schiff-base cross-linking. The hydrogel was designed from dopamine coupled pectin hydrazide (Pec-DH) and oxidized carboxymethyl cellulose (DCMC) for mEGF loading as a diabetic wound repair dressing. The Pectin and CMC as natural feedstock endowed the hydrogel with biodegradability to avoid possible side effects, while the coupled catechol structure could enhance the tissue adhesion of the hydrogel for hemostasis. The results showed the Pec-DH/DCMC hydrogel formed fast and can cover irregular wounds with good sealing effect. The catechol structure also improved the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging ability of the hydrogel, which can eliminate the negative effect of ROS during wound healing. The in vivo diabetic wound healing experiment revealed the hydrogel as mEGF loading vehicle greatly enhanced the diabetic wound repairing rate in mice model. As a result, the Pec-DH/DCMC hydrogel could show advantages as EGF carrier in wound healing applications.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are naturally occurring polymers with exceptional biodegradable and biocompatible qualities that are used as hemostatic agents. In this study, photoinduced CC bond network and dynamic bond network binding was used to give polysaccharide-based hydrogels the requisite mechanical strength and tissue adhesion. The designed hydrogel was composed of modified carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS-MA) and oxidized dextran (OD), and introduced hydrogen bond network through tannic acid (TA) doping. Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were also added, and the effects of various doping amount on the performance of the hydrogel were examined, in order to enhance the hemostatic property of hydrogel. Experiments on vitro degradation and swelling demonstrated the strong structural stability of hydrogels. The hydrogel has improved tissue adhesion strength, with a maximum adhesion strength of 157.9 kPa, and demonstrated improved compressive strength, with a maximum compressive strength of 80.9 kPa. Meanwhile, the hydrogel had a low hemolysis rate and had no inhibition on cell proliferation. The created hydrogel exhibited a significant aggregation effect on platelets and a reduced blood clotting index (BCI). Importantly, the hydrogel can quickly adhere to seal the wound and has good hemostatic effect in vivo. Our work successfully prepared a polysaccharide-based bio-adhesive hydrogel dressing with stable structure, appropriate mechanical strength, and good hemostatic properties.

Abstract
This work describes a liquid allantoin-enriched pectin hydrogel with hydrophilic behavior that is supported by the presence of functional groups related to healing efficacy. A topical study shows the effect of the hydrogel application on surgically induced skin wound healing in a rat model. Contact angle measurements confirm hydrophilic behavior (11.37°), while Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy indicates the presence of functional groups related to the healing effectiveness (carboxylic acid and amine groups). Allantoin is distributed on the surface and inside the amorphous pectin hydrogel surrounded by a heterogeneous distribution of pores. This promotes wound drying with better interaction between the hydrogel and cells involved in the wound healing process. An experimental study with female Wistar rats indicates that the hydrogel improves wound contraction, reducing around 71.43% of the total healing time and reaching total wound closure in 15 days.

Abstract
Biologically active compounds in Lignosus rhinocerotis and Punica granatum are found to facilitate wound healing and exhibit hemostatic activity, making them a good combination as bioactives for wound dressings. This study, therefore, aimed to evaluate the potential of thermoresponsive gels loaded with L. rhinocerotis (HLRE) and P. granatum (PPE) extracts as dressings for wound treatment. The gels were prepared using Pluronic PF127 polymer and mixed with PEG 400 and/or starch prior to incorporation with both extracts (0.06 to 1 mg/mL). The gelation temperature (Tgel) at the skin temperature was achieved when Pluronic PF127 was mixed with 22% w/v PEG 400 and reduced to 25.7 ± 0.3-26.7 ± 1.2 °C after adding HLRE and PPE. The gels exhibited satisfactory hardness (2.02 ± 0.19-6.45 ± 0.53 N), cohesiveness (0.9 ± 0.07-2.28 ± 0.4 mJ), adhesiveness (5.07 ± 2.41-19.6 ± 1.1 mJ), and viscosity (0.15 ± 0.04-0.95 ± 0.03 Pa.s), suitable for wound dressings. The optimized gels displayed high thrombin activity and cell migration rate (wound closure of 74% ± 12-89% ± 2 within 24 h), demonstrating hemostatic and healing effects. The thermoresponsive gels demonstrated advantages to be used as dressings for treating acute and open wounds.
