Abstract
Fatal massive hemorrhage and diabetic wound healing are world widely challenging in surgical managements, and uncontrolled bleeding, chronic inflammation and damaged remodeling heavily hinder the whole healing processes. Considering hemostasis, inflammation and wound microenvironment cooperatively affect the healing progression, we design all-in-one beta-glucan (BG) hybrid hydrogels reinforced with laponite nanoclay that demonstrate tunable tissue adhesion, resistant vascular burst pressure and cooperative wound microenvironment regulation for arterial hemostasis and diabetic wound prohealing. Those hydrogels had honeycomb-like porous microstructure with average pore size of 7-19 μm, tissue adhesion strength of 18-46 kPa, and vascular burst pressure of 58-174 mmHg to achieve superior hemostasis in rat liver and femoral artery models. They could effectively scavenge reactive oxygen species, transform macrophages from proinflammatory M1 into prohealing M2, and shorten the inflammation duration via synergistic actions of BG and nitric oxide (NO). Single treatment of NO-releasing BG hybrid hydrogels attained complete closure of diabetic wounds within 14 days, orchestrated to accelerate the epithelization and dermis growth, and restored normal vascularization, achieving high performance healing with optimal collagen deposition and hair follicle regeneration. Consequently, this work opens up a new avenue to design all-in-one polysaccharide hydrogels for applications in massive bleeding hemostats and diabetic wound dressings.

Xiang G, Wang B, Zhang W, Dong Y, Tao J, Zhang A, Chen R, Jiang T, Zhao X. A Zn-MOF-GOx-based cascade nanoreactor promotes diabetic infected wound healing by NO release and microenvironment regulation. Acta Biomater 2024:S1742-7061(24)00253-8. [PMID: 38729545 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.05.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
Diabetic wound healing is a great clinical challenge due to the microenvironment of hyperglycemia and high pH value, bacterial infection and persistent inflammation. Here, we develop a cascade nanoreactor hydrogel (Arg@Zn-MOF-GOx Gel, AZG-Gel) with arginine (Arg) loaded Zinc metal organic framework (Zn-MOF) and glucose oxidase (GOx) based on chondroitin sulfate (CS) and Pluronic (F127) to accelerate diabetic infected wound healing. GOx in AZG-Gel was triggered by hyperglycemic environment to reduce local glucose and pH, and simultaneously produced hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to enable Arg-to release nitric oxide (NO) for inflammation regulation, providing a suitable microenvironment for wound healing. Zinc ions (Zn2+) released from acid-responsive Zn-MOF significantly inhibited the proliferation and biofilm formation of S.aureus and E.coli. AZG-Gel significantly accelerated diabetic infected wound healing by down-regulating pro-inflammatory tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6, up-regulating anti-inflammatory factor IL-4, promoting angiogenesis and collagen deposition in vivo. Collectively, our nanoreactor cascade strategy combining "endogenous improvement (reducing glucose and pH)" with "exogenous resistance (anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory)" provides a new idea for promoting diabetic infected wound healing by addressing both symptoms and root causes. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: A cascade nanoreactor (AZG-Gel) is constructed to solve three key problems in diabetic wound healing, namely, hyperglycemia and high pH microenvironment, bacterial infection and persistent inflammation. Local glucose and pH levels are reduced by GOx to provide a suitable microenvironment for wound healing. The release of Zn2+ significantly inhibits bacterial proliferation and biofilm formation, and NO reduces wound inflammation and promotes angiogenesis. The pH change when AZG-Gel is applied to wounds is expected to enable the visualization of wound healing to guide the treatment of diabetic wound. Our strategy of "endogenous improvement (reducing glucose and pH)" combined with "exogenous resistance (anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory)" provides a new way for promoting diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
The study presents a multifunctional catechol-modified chitosan (Chi-Ca)/oxidized dextran (Dex-CHO) hydrogel (CDP-PB) that possesses antibacterial, antioxidant, and pro-angiogenic properties, aimed at improving the healing of diabetic wounds. The achievement of the as-prepared CDP-PB hydrogel with superb antibacterial property (99.9 %) can be realized through the synergistic effect of phenylboronic acid-modified polyethyleneimine (PEI-PBA) and photothermal therapy (PTT) of polydopamine nanoparticles loaded with the nitric oxide (NO) donor BNN6 (PDA@BNN6). Notably, CDP-PB hydrogel achieves ∼3.6 log10 CFU/mL MRSA of inactivation efficiency under 808 nm NIR laser irradiation. In order to mitigate oxidative stress, the Chi-Ca was synthesized and afterward subjected to a reaction with Dex-CHO via a Schiff-base reaction. The catechol-containing hydrogel demonstrated its effectiveness in scavenging DPPH, •OH, and ABTS radicals (> 85 %). In addition, the cellular experiment illustrates the increased migration and proliferation of cells by the treatment of CDP-PB hydrogel in the presence of oxidative stress conditions. Moreover, the findings from the animal model experiments provide evidence that the CDP-PB hydrogel exhibited efficacy in the eradication of wound infection, facilitation of angiogenesis, stimulation of granulation, and augmentation of collagen deposition. These results indicate the potential of the CDP-PB hydrogel for use in clinical applications.

Abstract
Vascular disease is the leading health problem worldwide. Vascular microenvironment encompasses diverse cell types, including those within the vascular wall, blood cells, stromal cells, and immune cells. Initiation of the inflammatory state of the vascular microenvironment and changes in its mechanics can profoundly affect vascular homeostasis. Biomedical materials play a crucial role in modern medicine, hydrogels, characterized by their high-water content, have been increasingly utilized as a three-dimensional interaction network. In recent times, the remarkable progress in utilizing hydrogels and understanding vascular microenvironment have enabled the treatment of vascular diseases. In this review, we give an emphasis on the utilization of hydrogels and their advantages in the various vascular diseases including atherosclerosis, aneurysm, vascular ulcers of the lower limbs and myocardial infarction. Further, we highlight the importance and advantages of hydrogels as artificial microenvironments.

Abstract
Prepubertal male patients with cancer have decreased fertility after treatment, but there are currently no suitable means for fertility rescue. Testicular transplantation seems to be a promising treatment. The short-term insufficiency of blood supply after transplantation is the key problem that needs to be solved. In this research, nitric oxide (NO), a gas and small molecule transmitter with the effect of promoting angiogenesis, acted at the site of testicular transplantation. Herein, poloxamer-407 (P407) and lipid microbubble materials served as transport carriers for NO and helped NO to function at the transplant site. P407 hydrogel loaded with NO microbubbles (PNO) slowly released NO in vitro. The three-dimensional space of the hydrogel provided a stable environment for NO microbubbles, which is conducive to the continuous release of NO. In this study, 25% PNO (w/v) was selected, and the gelling temperature was 19.47 °C. The gelling efficiency was relatively high at body temperature. Rheological experiments showed that PNO, at this concentration, had stable mechanical properties. The results from in vivo experiments demonstrated that testicular grafts in the PNO group exhibited a notably accelerated blood flow recovery compared to the other groups. Additionally, the PNO group displayed a significant improvement in reproductive function recovery. In conclusion, PNO exhibited slow release of NO, and a small amount of NO promoted angiogenesis in testicular grafts and restored reproductive function.

Abstract
Nonhealing skin wounds are a problematic complication associated with diabetes. Therapeutic gases delivered by biomaterials have demonstrated powerful wound healing capabilities. However, the cellular responses and heterogeneity in the skin regeneration process after gas therapy remain elusive. Here, we display the benefit of the carbon monoxide (CO)-releasing hyaluronan hydrogel (CO@HAG) in promoting diabetic wound healing and investigate the cellular responses through single-cell transcriptomic analysis. The presented CO@HAG demonstrates wound microenvironment responsive gas releasing properties and accelerates the diabetic wound healing process in vivo. It is found that a new cluster of Cxcl14+ fibroblasts with progenitor property is accumulated in the CO@HAG-treated wound. This cluster of Cxcl14+ fibroblasts is yet unreported in the skin regeneration process. CO@HAG-treated wound macrophages feature a decrease in pro-inflammatory property, while their anti-inflammatory property increases. Moreover, the TGF-β signal between the pro-inflammatory (M1) macrophage and the Cxcl14+ fibroblast in the CO@HAG-treated wound is attenuated based on cell-cell interaction analysis. Our study provides a useful hydrogel-mediated gas therapy method for diabetic wounds and new insights into cellular events in the skin regeneration process after gas-releasing biomaterials therapy.

Abstract
Chronic wounds are a major health challenge that require new treatment strategies. Hydrogels are promising drug delivery systems for chronic wound healing because of their biocompatibility, hydration, and flexibility. However, conventional hydrogels cannot adapt to the dynamic and complex wound environment, which involves low pH, high levels of reactive oxygen species, and specific enzyme expression. Therefore, smart responsive hydrogels that can sense and respond to these stimuli are needed. Crucially, smart responsive hydrogels can modulate drug release and eliminate pathological factors by changing their properties or structures in response to internal or external stimuli, such as pH, enzymes, light, and electricity. These stimuli can also be used to trigger antibacterial responses, angiogenesis, and cell proliferation to enhance wound healing. In this review, we introduce the synthesis and principles of smart responsive hydrogels, describe their design and applications for chronic wound healing, and discuss their future development directions. We hope that this review will inspire the development of smart responsive hydrogels for chronic wound healing.

Abstract
Currently, clinical tumor resection is faced with two options: open and minimally invasive surgery. Open surgery is easy to completely remove the lesion but is prone to infection, while minimally invasive surgery recovers faster but may cause tumor recurrence. To fill the shortcomings of the two surgical modes and make the choice for tumor resection more effortlessly, we developed a postoperative black phosphorus-Ag nanocomposites-loaded dopamine-modified hyaluronic acid-Pluronic® F127 (BP-Ag@HA-DA-Plu) hydrogel implantation system that can prevent tumor recurrence and wound infection simultaneously. Experiments have shown that the hydrogel system combined with 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) irradiation has excellent anti-tumor, antibacterial, and wound healing abilities. Additionally, unlike existing surgical hydrogel products that require inconvenient in-situ cross-linking, the BP-Ag@HA-DA-Plu hydrogel system offers "plug-and-play" functionality during surgery due to its thermo-responsiveness, injectability, and adhesion, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of surgery.

Abstract
Craniofacial/jawbone deformities remain a significant clinical challenge in restoring facial/dental functions and esthetics. Despite the reported therapeutics for clinical bone tissue regeneration, the bioavailability issue of autografts and limited regeneration efficacy of xenografts/synthetic bone substitutes, however, inspire continued efforts towards functional conjugation and improvement of bioactive bone graft materials. Regarding the potential of nitric oxide (NO) in tissue engineering, herein, functional conjugation of NO-delivery dinitrosyl iron complex (DNIC) and osteoconductive bone graft materials was performed to optimize the spatiotemporal control over the delivery of NO and to activate synergistic osteogenesis and angiogenesis in rat calvaria bone defects. Among three types of biomimetic DNICs, [Fe2(μ-SCH2CH2COOH)2(NO)4] (DNIC-COOH) features a steady kinetics for cellular uptake by MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cells followed by intracellular assembly of protein-bound DNICs and release of NO. This steady kinetics for intracellular delivery of NO by DNIC-COOH rationalizes its biocompatibility and wide-spectrum cell proliferation effects on MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Moreover, the bridging [SCH2CH2COOH]- thiolate ligands in DNIC-COOH facilitate its chemisorption to deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) and physisorption onto TCP (β-tricalcium phosphate), respectively, which provides a mechanism to control the kinetics for the local release of loaded DNIC-COOH. Using rats with calvaria bone defects as an in vivo model, DNIC-DBBM/DNIC-TCP promotes the osteogenic and angiogenic activity ascribed to functional conjugation of osteoconductive bone graft materials and NO-delivery DNIC-COOH. Of importance, the therapeutic efficacy of DNIC-DBBM/DNIC-TCP on enhanced compact bone formation after treatment for 4 and 12 weeks supports the potential for clinical application to regenerative medicine.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Drug treatment is one of the main ways of coping with disease today. For the disadvantages of drug management, thermosensitive hydrogel is used as a countermeasure, which can realize the simple sustained release of drugs and the controlled release of drugs in complex physiological environments. AREAS COVERED This paper talks about thermosensitive hydrogels that can be used as drug carriers. The common preparation materials, material forms, thermal response mechanisms, characteristics of thermosensitive hydrogels for drug release and main disease treatment applications are reviewed. EXPERT OPINION When thermosensitive hydrogels are used as drug loading and delivery platforms, desired drug release patterns and release profiles can be tailored by selecting raw materials, thermal response mechanisms, and material forms. The properties of hydrogels prepared from synthetic polymers will be more stable than natural polymers. Integrating multiple thermosensitive mechanisms or different kinds of thermosensitive mechanisms on the same hydrogel is expected to realize the spatiotemporal differential delivery of multiple drugs under temperature stimulation. The industrial transformation of thermosensitive hydrogels as drug delivery platforms needs to meet some important conditions.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is drawing widespread attention in treating pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) as a safe and therapeutically efficient technique through modulating the dense fibrotic stroma in the tumor microenvironment to enhance drug penetration. Considerable NO nanogenerators and NO releasing molecules have been developed to shield the systemic toxicity caused by free diffusion of NO gas. However, on-demand controlled release of NO and chemotherapy drugs at tumor sites remains a problem limited by the complex and dynamic tumor microenvironment. Herein, we present an ultrasound-responsive nanoprodrug of CPT-t-R-PEG2000@BaTiO3 (CRB) which encapsulates piezoelectric nanomaterials barium titanate nanoparticle (BaTiO3) with amphiphilic prodrug molecules that consisted of thioketal bond (t) linked chemotherapy drug camptothecin (CPT) and NO-donor l-arginine (R). Based on ultrasound-triggered piezocatalysis, BaTiO3 can continuously generate ROS in the hypoxic tumor environment, which induces a cascade of reaction processes to break the thioketal bond to release CPT and oxidize R to release NO, simultaneously delivering CPT and NO to the tumor site. It is revealed that CRB shows a uniform size distribution, prolonged blood circulation time, and excellent tumor targeting ability. Moreover, controlled release of CPT and NO were observed both in vitro and in vivo under the stimulation of ultrasound, which is beneficial to the depletion of dense stroma and subsequently enhanced delivery and efficacy of CPT. Taken together, CRB significantly increased the antitumor efficacy against highly malignant Panc02 tumors in mice through inhibiting chemoresistance, representing a feasible approach for targeted therapies against Panc02 and other PDAC.

Abstract
It remains challenging to cure chronic diabetic wounds due to its' harsh microenvironment and poor tissue regeneration ability. At present, bacteria elimination, inflammatory response suppression and angiogenesis orderly render an important paradigm for chronic diabetic wound treatment. Herein, smart-responsive multifunctional hydrogels were developed to improve chronic diabetic wound healing, which could quickly respond to the acidic environment of the diabetic wound site and mediate multistage sequential delivery of silver and curcumin-loaded polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA@Ag&Cur NPs) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). PDA@Ag&Cur NPs and VEGF endowed the hydrogels with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and angiogenesis performances, respectively. The in vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed that our multistage drug delivery hydrogels could effectively eliminate bacteria, relieve inflammatory response, and induce angiogenesis, hence accelerating the closure of chronic diabetic wounds. In conclusion, we highlighted the importance of multistage manipulation in wound healing and offered a combinatorial therapeutic strategy to sequentially deliver drugs exactly aiming at the dynamic wound healing stages.
