Abstract
Hemostatic powders that adapt to irregularly shaped wounds, allowing for easy application and stable storage, have gained popularity for first-aid hemorrhage control. However, traditional powders often provide weak thrombus support and exhibit limited tissue adhesion, making them susceptible to dislodgment by the bloodstream. Inspired by fibrin fibers coagulation mediator, we have developed a bi-component hemostatic powder composed of positively charged quaternized chitosan (QCS) and negatively charged catechol-modified alginate (Cat-SA). Upon application to the wound, the bi-component powders (QCS/Cat-SA) rapidly absorb plasma and dissolve into chains. These chains interact with each other to form a network, which can effectively bind and entraps clustered red blood cells and platelets, ultimately leading to the creation of a durable and robust thrombus. Significantly, these interconnected polymers adhere to the injury site, offering protection against thrombus disruption caused by the bloodstream. Benefiting from these synthetic properties, QCS/Cat-SA demonstrates superior hemostatic performance compared to commercial hemostatic powders like Celox™ in both arterial injuries and non-compressible liver puncture wounds. Importantly, QCS/Cat-SA exhibits excellent antibacterial activity, cytocompatibility, and hemocompatibility. These advantages of QCS/Cat-SA, including strong blood clotting, wet tissue adherence, antibacterial activity, biosafety, ease of use, and stable storage, make it a promising hemostatic agent for emergency situations.

A dual dynamically cross-linked hydrogel promotes rheumatoid arthritis repair through ROS initiative regulation and microenvironment modulation-independent triptolide release. Mater Today Bio 2024; 26:101042. [PMID: 38660473 PMCID: PMC11040138 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2024.101042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
High oxidative stress and inflammatory cell infiltration are major causes of the persistent bone erosion and difficult tissue regeneration in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Triptolide (TPL) has become a highly anticipated anti-rheumatic drug due to its excellent immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the sudden drug accumulation caused by the binding of "stimulus-response" and "drug release" in a general smart delivery system is difficult to meet the shortcoming of extreme toxicity and the demand for long-term administration of TPL. Herein, we developed a dual dynamically cross-linked hydrogel (SPT@TPL), which demonstrated sensitive RA microenvironment regulation and microenvironment modulation-independent TPL release for 30 days. The abundant borate ester/tea polyphenol units in SPT@TPL possessed the capability to respond and regulate high reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels on-demand. Meanwhile, based on its dense dual crosslinked structure as well as the spontaneous healing behavior of numerous intermolecular hydrogen bonds formed after the breakage of borate ester, TPL could remain stable and slowly release under high ROS environments of RA, which dramatically reduced the risk of TPL exerting toxicity while maximized its long-term efficacy. Through the dual effects of ROS regulation and TPL sustained-release, SPT@TPL alleviated oxidative stress and reprogrammed macrophages into M2 phenotype, showing marked inhibition of inflammation and optimal regeneration of articular cartilage in RA rat model. In conclusion, this hydrogel platform with both microenvironment initiative regulation and TPL long-term sustained release provides a potential scheme for rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
Hydrogels have emerged as promising candidates for biomedical applications, especially in the field of antibacterial therapeutics, due to their unique structural properties, highly tunable physicochemical properties, and excellent biocompatibility. The integration of stimuli-responsive functions into antibacterial hydrogels holds the potential to enhance their antibacterial properties and therapeutic efficacy, dynamically responding to different external or internal stimuli, such as pH, temperature, enzymes, and light. Therefore, this review describes the applications of hydrogel dressings responsive to different stimuli in antibacterial therapy. The collaborative interaction between stimuli-responsive hydrogels and antibacterial materials is discussed. This synergistic approach, in contrast to conventional antibacterial materials, not only amplifies the antibacterial effect but also alleviates adverse side effects and diminishes the incidence of multiple infections and drug resistance. The review provides a comprehensive overview of the current challenges and outlines future research directions for stimuli-responsive antibacterial hydrogels. It underscores the imperative for ongoing interdisciplinary research aimed at unraveling the mechanisms of wound healing. This understanding is crucial for optimizing the design and implementation of stimuli-responsive antibacterial hydrogels. Ultimately, this review aims to offer scientific guidance for the development and practical clinical application of stimuli-responsive antibacterial hydrogel dressings.

Abstract
The quest for efficient hemostatic agents in emergency medicine is critical, particularly for managing massive hemorrhages in dynamic and high-pressure wound environments. Traditional self-gelling powders, while beneficial due to their ease of application and rapid action, fall short in such challenging conditions. To bridge this gap, the research introduces a novel self-gelling powder that combines ultrafast covalent gelation and robust wet adhesion, presenting a significant advancement in acute hemorrhage control. This ternary system comprises ε-polylysine (ε-PLL) and 4-arm polyethylene glycol succinyl succinate (4-arm-PEG-NHS) forming the hydrogel framework. Na2HPO4 functions as the "H+ sucker" to expedite the amidation reaction, slashing gelation time to under 10 s, crucial for immediate blood loss restriction. Moreover, PEG chains' hydrophilicity facilitates efficient absorption of interfacial blood, increasing the generated hydrogel's cross-linking density and strengthens its tissue bonding, thereby resulting in excellent mechanical and wet adhesion properties. In vitro experiments reveal the optimized formulation's exceptional tissue compliance, procoagulant activity, biocompatibility and antibacterial efficacy. In porcine models of heart injuries and arterial punctures, it outperforms commercial hemostatic agent Celox, confirming its rapid and effective hemostasis. Conclusively, this study presents a transformative approach to hemostasis, offering a reliable and potent solution for the emergency management of massive hemorrhage.

Abstract
Flexible foam-based sensors have attracted substantial interest due to their high specific surface area, light weight, superior deformability, and ease of manufacture. However, it is still a challenge to integrate multimodal stimuli-responsiveness, high sensitivity, reliable stability, and good biocompatibility into a single foam sensor. To achieve this, a magnetoresistive foam sensor was fabricated by an in situ freezing-polymerization strategy based on the interpenetrating networks of sodium alginate, poly(vinyl alcohol) in conjunction with glycerol, and physical reinforcement of core-shell bidisperse magnetic particles. The assembled sensor exhibited preferable magnetic/strain-sensing capability (GF ≈ 0.41 T-1 for magnetic field, 4.305 for tension, -0.735 for bending, and -1.345 for pressing), quick response time, and reliable durability up to 6000 cycles under external stimuli. Importantly, a machine learning algorithm was developed to identify the encryption information, enabling high recognition accuracies of 99.22% and 99.34%. Moreover, they could be employed as health systems to detect human physiological motion and integrated as smart sensor arrays to perceive external pressure/magnetic field distributions. This work provides a simple and ecofriendly strategy to fabricate biocompatible foam-based multimodal sensors with potential applications in next-generation soft electronics.

Abstract
Oral diseases are prevalent but challenging diseases owing to the highly movable and wet, microbial and inflammatory environment. Polymeric materials are regarded as one of the most promising biomaterials due to their good compatibility, facile preparation, and flexible design to obtain multifunctionality. Therefore, a variety of strategies have been employed to develop materials with improved therapeutic efficacy by overcoming physicobiological barriers in oral diseases. In this review, we summarize the design strategies of polymeric biomaterials for the treatment of oral diseases. First, we present the unique oral environment including highly movable and wet, microbial and inflammatory environment, which hinders the effective treatment of oral diseases. Second, a series of strategies for designing polymeric materials towards such a unique oral environment are highlighted. For example, multifunctional polymeric materials are armed with wet-adhesive, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory functions through advanced chemistry and nanotechnology to effectively treat oral diseases. These are achieved by designing wet-adhesive polymers modified with hydroxy, amine, quinone, and aldehyde groups to provide strong wet-adhesion through hydrogen and covalent bonding, and electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions, by developing antimicrobial polymers including cationic polymers, antimicrobial peptides, and antibiotic-conjugated polymers, and by synthesizing anti-inflammatory polymers with phenolic hydroxy and cysteine groups that function as immunomodulators and electron donors to reactive oxygen species to reduce inflammation. Third, various delivery systems with strong wet-adhesion and enhanced mucosa and biofilm penetration capabilities, such as nanoparticles, hydrogels, patches, and microneedles, are constructed for delivery of antibiotics, immunomodulators, and antioxidants to achieve therapeutic efficacy. Finally, we provide insights into challenges and future development of polymeric materials for oral diseases with promise for clinical translation.

Abstract
Management of diabetic wounds presents a global health challenge due to elevated levels of ROS in the wound microenvironment, persistent dysregulation of inflammation modulation, and limitations in commercially available dressings. Addressing this issue, we have developed a pH-responsive and glucose-sensitive multifunctional hydrogel dressing that dynamically responds to the wound microenvironment and enables on-demand drug release. The dressing incorporates a matrix material based on aminophenylboronic acid-functionalized alginate and a polyhydroxy polymer, alongside an enhancer phase consisting of self-assembled metal-phenol coordination nanospheres formed by tannic acid and iron ions. Using the dynamic borate ester bonds and catechol-metal ion coordination bonds, the dressing exhibits remarkable shape adaptability, self-healing capability, tissue adhesiveness, antioxidant activity, and photothermal responsiveness, without additional curatives or crosslinking agents. As a wound dressing, it elicits macrophage polarization towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype while maintaining long-lasting antimicrobial effects. In a diabetic mouse model of full-thickness wound infections, it effectively mitigated inflammation and vascular damage, significantly expediting the wound healing process with a commendable 97.7% wound closure rate. This work provides a new direction for developing multifunctional smart hydrogel dressings that can accelerate diabetic wound healing for human health.

Abstract
Hemostatic powder is commonly used in emergency bleeding control due to its suitability for irregularly shaped wounds, ease of use, and stable storage. However, traditional powder often has limited tissue adhesion and weak thrombus support, which makes it vulnerable to displacement by blood flow. Herein, we have developed a tricomponent hemostatic powder (MQS) composed of mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticle (MBG), positively charged quaternized chitosan (QCS), and negatively charged catechol-modified alginate (SADA). Upon application to the wound, MBG with its high specific surface area quickly absorbs plasma, concentrating the blood coagulation factor. Simultaneously, the water-soluble QCS and SADA interact with each other and form a net, which can be further cross-linked by MBG. This network efficiently binds and entraps clustered blood coagulation factors, ultimately resulting in the formation of a durable and robust thrombus. Furthermore, the formed net adheres to the injury site, offering protection against thrombus disruption caused by the bloodstream. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of these three components, MQS demonstrates superior hemostatic performance compared to commercial hemostatic powders like Celox in both arterial injuries and noncompressible liver puncture wounds. Furthermore, MQS can effectively accelerate wound healing. In addition, MQS exhibits excellent antibacterial activity, cytocompatibility, and hemocompatibility. These advantages of MQS, including strong blood clotting, wet tissue adherence, antibacterial activity, wound healing ability, biosafety, ease of use, and stable storage, make it a promising hemostatic agent for emergency situations.

Abstract
Chitosan exhibits a wide source, non-toxic and biodegradable, and is the optimal functional raw material for preparing food packaging materials. However, the pure chitosan film has some disadvantages such as limited antibacterial activity and weak mechanical properties. In this study, sulfobetaines modified chitosan (CS-SBMA) was synthesized by grafting copolymerized betaine methacrylate sulfonate onto the chain of chitosan to improve the anti-bacterial adhesion and antibacterial properties of chitosan, aiming to develop antibacterial and anti-bacterial adhesion films based on CS-SBMA and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) by the casting method. The structure of CS-SBMA was characterized by 1H NMR and FTIR. The appropriate proportion of CS-SBMA/PVA was determined to be 1/1 and 1/2, by characterizing the composite films with FTIR, XRD, SEM, mechanical, optical, and water resistance behaviors. In addition, CS-SBMA/PVA films showed excellent antibacterial, anti-bacterial adhesion and biofilm control function. The colonies number of E. coli and S. aureus on the surface of CS-SBMA/PVA 1/1 film decreased 94.15 % and 94.27 %, respectively, and 92.93 % of S. aureus and 94.87 % of E. coli colonies were inactivated within 60 min contact. These results indicate that CS-SBMA/PVA film exhibits potential antibacterial and anti-bacterial adhesion properties, which is suitable for food packaging materials.

Abstract
Wound management practices have made significant advancements, yet the search for improved antiseptics persists. In our pursuit of solutions that not only prevent infections but also address broader aspects of wound care, we investigated the impact of integrating trimethyl chitosan (TMC) into a widely used poly(vinylpyrrolidone)-iodine gel (PVP-I gel). Our study assessed the antimicrobial efficacy of the PVP gel with TMC against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, multidrug-resistant S. aureus MRSA, and Candida albicans. Additionally, we compared hemostatic effects using a liver puncture bleeding model and evaluated wound healing through histological sections from full-thickness dermal wounds in rats. The results indicate that incorporating TMC into the commercially available PVP-I gel did not compromise its antimicrobial activity. The incorporation of TMC into the PVP-I gel markedly improves its hemostatic activity. The regular application of the PVP-I gel with TMC resulted in an increased blood vessel count in the wound bed and facilitated the development of thicker fibrous tissue with a regenerated epidermal layer. These findings suggest that TMC contributes not only to antimicrobial activity but also to the intricate processes of tissue regeneration. In conclusion, incorporating TMC proves beneficial, making it a valuable additive to commercially available antiseptic agents.

[PMID: 37963505 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127960] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Revised: 10/29/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/16/2023]
Abstract
The rapid and effective hemostasis of gastrointestinal bleeding sites remains an urgent clinical challenge. In this study, an ultrafast self-gelling, sprayable, and adhesive carboxymethyl chitosan/poly-γ-glutamic acid/oxidized dextran (CPO) powder was designed for gastric perforation hemostasis and healing. When the CPO powder was sprayed to the gastric perforation site, the CPO powder absorbed water from the blood and concentrate blood cells and clotting factors to achieve the purpose of rapid hemostasis. During the hemostasis, the CPO powder formed a hydrogel in situ through the formation of amide bonds and Schiff base bonds within 15 s, forming a physical barrier to cover the wound surface. Concurrently, the aldehyde group (-CHO) of oxidized dextran formed additional Schiff base bonds with the amino group (-NH2) of the tissue, enabling the CPO powder with wound surface adhesion. Moreover, the CPO powder was shown to have excellent in vitro and in vivo antibacterial properties and it was able to promote the healing of infected wounds in a mouse model. In summary, CPO powder provides a promising idea for the rational design of gastrointestinal hemostatic agents.
