[PMID: 38710549 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122135] [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: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 03/25/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/08/2024]
Abstract
The biggest obstacle to treating wound healing continues to be the production of simple, inexpensive wound dressings that satisfy the demands associated with full process of repair at the same time. Herein, a series of injectable composite hydrogels were successfully prepared by a one-pot method by utilizing the Schiff base reaction as well as hydrogen bonding forces between hydroxypropyl chitosan (HCS), ε-poly-l-lysine (EPL), and 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzaldehyde (TBA), and multiple cross-links formed by the reversible coordination between iron (III) and pyrogallol moieties. Notably, hydrogel exhibits excellent physicochemical properties, including injectability, self-healing, water retention, and adhesion, which enable to fill irregular wounds for a long period, providing a suitable moist environment for wound healing. Interestingly, the excellent hemostatic properties of the hydrogel can quickly stop bleeding and avoid the serious sequelae of massive blood loss in acute trauma. Moreover, the powerful antimicrobial and antioxidant properties also protect against bacterial infections and reduce inflammation at the wound site, thus promoting healing at all stages of the wound. The study of biohydrogel with multifunctional integration of wound treatment and smart medical treatment is clarified by this line of research.

Abstract
Treatment of infected wound by simultaneously eliminating bacteria and inducing angiogenesis to promote wound tissue regeneration remains a clinical challenge. Dynamic and reversable hydrogels can adapt to irregular wound beds, which have raised great attention as wound dressings. Herein, a sprayable chitosan-based hydrogel (HPC/CCS/ODex-IGF1) was developed using hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPC), caffeic acid functionalized chitosan (CCS), oxidized dextran (ODex) to crosslink through the dynamic imine bond, which was pH-responsive to the acidic microenvironment and could controllably release insulin growth factor-1 (IGF1). The HPC/CCS/ODex-IGF1 hydrogels not only showed self-healing, self-adaptable and sprayable properties, but also exhibited excellent antibacterial ability, antioxidant property, low-cytotoxicity and angiogenetic activity. In vivo experiments demonstrated that hydrogels promoted tissue regeneration and healing of bacteria-infected wound with a rate of approximately 98.4 % on day 11 by eliminating bacteria, reducing inflammatory and facilitating angiogenesis, demonstrating its great potential for wound dressing.

Abstract
Hydrogels with strong adhesion to wet tissues are considered promising for wound dressings. However, the clinical application of adhesive hydrogel dressing remains a challenge due to the issues of secondary damage during dressing changes. Herein, we fabricated an adhesion-switchable hydrogel formed with poly(acrylamide)-co-poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide), quaternary ammonium chitosan and tannic acid. This hydrogel forms instant and robust adhesion to the skin at body temperature. However, as the temperature rises above the lower critical solution temperature (LCST), the hydrogel loses its adhesion towards the wound area due to the temperature-dependent volume phase transition of the copolymer, occurring around 45 °C. Consequently, the designed hydrogel can be easily detached from adhered tissues upon demand, providing a facile and effective method for painless dressing changes without secondary damage. This hydrogel holds great promise for long-term application in wound dressings.

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
Multifunctional polysaccharide hydrogels with strong tissue adhesion, and antimicrobial and hemostatic properties are attractive wound healing materials. In this study, a chitosan-based hydrogel (HCS) was designed, and its properties were enhanced by incorporating oxidized eggshell membrane (OEM). Hydrogel characterization and testing results showed that the hydrogel had excellent antimicrobial properties, cytocompatibility, satisfactory adhesion properties on common substrates, and wet-state adhesion capacity. A rat liver injury model confirmed the significant hemostatic effect of the hydrogel. Finally, the ability of the hydrogel to promote wound healing was verified using rat skin wound repair experiments. Our findings indicate that HCS/OEM hydrogels with added eggshell membrane fibers have better self-healing properties, mechanical strength, adhesion, hemostatic properties, and biocompatibility than HCS hydrogels, in addition to having superior repair performance in wound repair experiments. Overall, the multifunctional polysaccharide hydrogels fabricated in this study are ideal for wound repair.

Abstract
In this study, the anti-inflammatory effect of dental pulp mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) exosomes loaded to mucoadhesive hydrogel is investigated in a dental nickel hypersensitivity murine model. After culture of dental pulp MSCs in the third passage MSCs are loaded to a mucoadhesive hydrogel based on chitosan, cross-linked with genipin and modified with catechol groups. A dental nickel hypersensitivity model is created by administering NiCl2 and 10 µg mL-1 lipopolysaccharide to 4-6 week-old Balb-c mice by intradermal injection. In mice treated with dental pulp MSC exosomes and exosomes in hydrogel, interferron gamma (IFN-γ) secreting CD4+T lymphocyte ratios significantly increase compared to the untreated group (p < 0.05). IFN-γ and interleukin 10 (IL-10) expression in buccal mucosa tissue sections and IFN-γ secreting CD4+T lymphocyte ratios are found to be significantly higher in mice treated with dental pulpa MSCs (DPMSCs) exosomes and DPMSCs exosomes in hydrogel compared to the untreated group (p < 0.05). According to flow cytometry results, IL-4 secreting CD4+T lymphocytes are found to be significantly decreased in DPMSCs exosomes group compared to dental nickel hypersensitivity group (p < 0.05). Administration of DPMSCs exosomes with mucoadhesive hydrogel may be an alternative to current medication in the treatment of dental nickel hypersensitivity.

Abstract
The flammability of bio-derived poly(L-lactic acid) (PLA) greatly limits its application and eco-friendly multifunctional fire-fighting PLA-based composites are highly desired. In this work, a fully bio-based modified CS (C-CS) and commercially available eco-friendly ammonium polyphosphate (APP) were used as a synergistic flame retardant agent (C-CS/APP) to investigate its effects on fire-proofing performance and diverse properties of the PLA. The PLA/5%C-CS/5%APP composite exhibited excellent fire-resistant performance with anti-droplet, smoke-suppression and self-extinguishing property, and its limited oxygen index enhanced by 37 % (compared with neat PLA). This composite reached the highest V-0 fire safety rating, and its peak of heat release rate and total smoke production reduced by 26.5 % and 68.3 %, respectively. In addition, the char residue yield after the cone calorimeter test increased by 46 times in the composite, indicating an outstanding char-forming capacity. The condensed phase flame retardancy played a crucial role on the fire-fighting of this composite, that is, significantly enhanced char residue (as a physical barrier) blocked the heat exchange and O2 entry, and further suppressed the combustion reaction. Additionally, the PLA-based composite showed outstanding UV-absorption property, good anti-bacterial effect, and increased hydrophilicity and crystallizability.

Abstract
Noncompressible hemorrhage is a leading cause of preventable death in battlefield/civilian trauma. The development of novel injectable and biodegradable hemostatic sponges, with rapid shape recovery and excellent antibacterial activity that can control hemorrhage in noncompressible bleeding sites and promote in situ tissue regeneration is still urgently needed. In this study, thermo/pH sensitive 2-hydroxypropyl-trimethylammonium chitins (QCHs) with low degree of quaternization substitution (DS: 0.07-0.23) and high degree of acetylation (DA: 0.91-0.94) were synthesized homogeneously for the first time. Their chemical compositions including DS and DA were characterized accurately by proton NMR for the first time. High strength QCH based sponges with good water/blood absorbency, rapid shape recovery and good antibacterial activity were prepared without using any crosslinkers but only due to their thermosensitive property, since they are soluble at low temperature but insoluble at high temperature. Compared with commercial products, the QCH sponges with cationic groups had the stronger pro-coagulant ability, better hemostatic effect in normal/heparinized liver perforation and femoral artery models in rats and porcine subclavian arteriovenous resection model. Moreover, the porous structure and biodegradability of the QCH sponges could promote in situ tissue regeneration. Overall, the QCH sponges show great clinical translational potential for noncompressible hemorrhage and tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Recently, interest in polyphenol-containing composite adhesives for various biomedical applications has been growing. Tannic acid (TA) is a polyphenolic compound with advantageous properties, including antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Additionally, TA contains multiple hydroxyl groups that exhibit biological activity by forming hydrogen bonds with proteins and biomacromolecules. Furthermore, TA-containing polymer composites exhibit excellent tissue adhesion properties. In this study, the gelation behavior and adhesion forces of TA/Pluronic F127 (TA/PluF) composite hydrogels were investigated by varying the TA and PluF concentrations. PluF (above 16 wt%) alone showed temperature-responsive gelation behavior because of the closely packed micelle aggregates. After the addition of a small amount of TA, the TA/PluF hydrogels showed thermosensitive behavior similar to that of PluF hydrogels. However, the TA/PluF hydrogels containing more than 10 wt% TA completely suppressed the thermo-responsive gelation kinetics of PluF, which may have been due to the hydrogen bonds between TA and PluF. In addition, TA/PluF hydrogels with 40 wt% TA showed excellent tissue adhesion properties and bursting pressure in porcine intestinal tissues. These results are expected to aid in understanding the use of mixtures of TA and thermosensitive block copolymers to fabricate adhesive hydrogels for versatile biomedical applications.

Abstract
Polyphenolic compound-modified hydrogel wound dressings with excellent wet tissue adhesion, antimicrobial properties, stretchability, and full-thickness skin healing properties are still extremely rare so far. Polyphenolic compounds such as tannic acid or dopamine can improve the antibacterial and bioadhesive properties of hydrogels, and are also polymerization inhibitors for free radical polymerization. In this study, polyacrylic acid (PAA) aqueous solution was first synthesized, and then antibacterial PAA-TA hydrogel was prepared by mixing it with tannic acid (TA) and the crosslinker 1,6-hexanediol bis(2-methyl-1-propionic acid azide) (HBMAP). This method avoids the hindrance of the phenolic hydroxyl groups in TA on acrylic acid polymerization, and we were able to obtain a series of TA hydrogels (in the range of 0-15 wt.%. We applied these PAA-TA hydrogels to wound dressings and found that they had excellent adhesion to biological tissues, and the tensile strength and elongation at break of PAA-TA hydrogels with 15 wt.%TA content were as high as 1.72 MPa and 1446.3% in tensile strength evaluation. In addition, microbiological analysis showed that wound dressings had significant antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. In vitro wound healing experiments confirmed that the wound dressing was biocompatible and could significantly promote the healing of full-thickness skin defects in the guinea pig model. Our work describes an injectable, self-healing, antimicrobial hydrogel that may have promising clinical applications as a wound dressing material.

Abstract
Sutures and staplers, as gold standards for clinical wound closure, usually cause secondary tissue injury and require professional technicians and equipment. The noninvasive hydrogel adhesives are used in various biomedical applications, such as wound closure, tissue sealing, and tissue regeneration, due to their remarkable properties. Recently-developed hydrogel adhesives, especially stimuli-responsive hydrogels, have shown great potential owing to their advantages in regulating their performance and functions according to the wound situations or external conditions, thus allowing the wounds to heal gradually. However, comprehensive summary on stimuli-responsive hydrogels as tissue adhesives is rarely reported to date. This review focuses on the advances in the design of various stimuli-responsive hydrogel adhesives over the past decade, including the systems responsive to pH, temperature, photo, and enzymes. Their potential biomedical applications, such as skin closure, cardiovascular and liver hemostasis, and gastrointestinal sealing, are emphasized. Meanwhile, the challenges and future development of stimuli-responsive hydrogel adhesives are discussed. This review aims to provide meaningful insights for the further design of next-generation of hydrogel adhesives for wound closure and tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that develops new methods to enhance the regeneration of damaged tissues, including those of wounds. Polymer systems containing bioactive molecules can play an important role in accelerating tissue regeneration, mitigating inflammation process, and fighting bacterial infection. Chitosan (CS) has attracted much attention regarding its use in wound healing system fabrication thanks to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and the presence of functional groups in its structure. In this work, bioactive chitosan-based membranes were obtained by both chemical and physical modifications of the polymer with glycidyl methacrylate and glycerol (GLY), respectively. The most suitable GLY concentration to obtain wound healing systems with good elongation at break, a good water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), and good wettability values was 20% (w/w). Afterwards, the membranes were crosslinked with different concentrations of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA). By using a concentration of 0.05 mM EGDMA, membranes with a contact angle and WVTR values suitable for the application were obtained. To make the system bioactive, 3,4-dihydrocinnamic acid (HCAF) was introduced into the membranes, either by imbibition or chemical reaction, using laccase as a catalyst. Thermal and mechanical analyses confirmed the formation of a cohesive network, which limited the plasticizing effect of GLY, particularly when HCAF was chemically bound. The HCAF-imbibed membrane showed a good antioxidant and antimicrobial activity, highlighting the potential of this system for the treatment of wound healing.

Abstract
Uncontrollable haemorrhage from deep, noncompressible wounds remains a persistent and intractable challenge, accounting for a very high proportion of deaths in both war and disaster situations. Recently, injectable hydrogels have been increasingly studied as potential haemostatic materials, highlighting their enormous potential for the management of noncompressible haemorrhages. In this review, we summarize haemostatic mechanisms, commonly used clinical haemostatic methods, and the research progress on injectable haemostatic hydrogels. We emphasize the current status of injectable hydrogels as haemostatic materials, including their physical and chemical properties, design strategy, haemostatic mechanisms, and application in various types of wounds. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of injectable hydrogels as haemostatic materials, as well as the opportunities and challenges involved. Finally, we propose cutting-edge research avenues to address these challenges and opportunities, including the combination of injectable hydrogels with advanced materials and innovative strategies to increase their biocompatibility and tune their degradation profile. Surface modifications for promoting cell adhesion and proliferation, as well as the delivery of growth factors or other biologics for optimal wound healing, are also suggested. We believe that this paper will inform researchers about the current status of the use of injectable haemostatic hydrogels for noncompressible haemorrhage and spark new ideas for those striving to propel this field forward.

Abstract
Uncontrolled bleeding that occurs during surgery, trauma, and in combat conditions is critical and require immediate action. Chitosan is a polysaccharide, obtained from natural sources with unique biological properties. It is often used as basis for local hemostatic agents (LHA). We summarized the data on hemostatic properties of chitosan, commercially available chitosan-based products with focus in the field of chemical modification of chitosan. Various approaches are used to enhance hemostatic activity of chitosan-based materials. The approach with chemical modification of chitosan allows changing the properties of the polymer in order to obtain an active macromolecule that contributes to hemostasis. Ongoing research on the mechanism of interaction with blood components in the case of different chitosan derivatives will make it possible to identify promising directions for chemical modification to obtain an effective LHA.

Abstract
Periodontal bone defect is a common but longstanding healthcare issue since traditional bone grafts have limited functionalities in regulating complex intraoral microenvironments. Here, a porous cationic biopolymeric scaffold (CSC-g-nHAp) with microenvironment self-regulating ability was synthesized by chitosan-catechol chelating the Ca2+ of nanohydroxyapatite and bonding type I collagen. Chitosan-catechol's inherent antibacterial and antioxidant abilities endowed this scaffold with desirable abilities to eliminate periodontal pathogen infection and maintain homeostatic balances between free radical generation and elimination. Meanwhile, this scaffold promoted rat bone marrow stromal cells' osteogenic differentiation and achieved significant ectopic mineralization after 4 weeks of subcutaneous implantation in nude mice. Moreover, after 8 weeks of implantation in the rat critical-sized periodontal bone defect model, CSC-g-nHAp conferred 5.5-fold greater alveolar bone regeneration than the untreated group. This cationic biopolymeric scaffold could regulate the local microenvironment through the synergistic effects of its antibacterial, antioxidant, and osteoconductive activities to promote solid periodontal bone regeneration.

Abstract
The occurrence of leakage from anastomotic sites is a significant issue given its potential undesirable complications. The management of anastomotic leakage after gastrointestinal surgery is particularly crucial because it is directly associated with mortality and morbidity in patients. If adhesive materials could be used to support suturing in surgical procedures, many complications caused by leakage from the anastomosis sites could be prevented. In this study, we have developed self-healing, shear-thinning, tissue-adhesive, carbon-black-containing, gallic acid-conjugated chitosan (CB/Chi-gallol) hydrogels as sealing materials to be used with suturing. The addition of CB into Chi-gallol solution resulted in the formation of a crosslinked hydrogel with instantaneous solidification. In addition, these CB/Chi-gallol hydrogels showed enhancement of the elastic modulus (G') values with increased CB concentration. Furthermore, these hydrogels exhibited excellent self-healing, shear-thinning, and tissue-adhesive properties. Notably, the hydrogels successfully sealed the incision site with suturing, resulting in a significant increase in the bursting pressure. The proposed self-healing and adhesive hydrogels are potentially useful in versatile biomedical applications, particularly as suture support materials for surgical procedures.

Abstract
The straightforward synthesis of polyamide-derived statistical copolymers with catechol, amine, amide and hydroxy residues via free radical polymerization is presented. In particular, catechol, amine and amide residues are present in natural mussel foot proteins, enabling strong underwater adhesion due to synergistic effects where cationic residues displace hydration and ion layers, followed by strong short-rang hydrogen bonding between the catechol or primary amides and SiO2 surfaces. The present study is aimed at investigating whether such synergistic effects also exist for statistical copolymer systems that lack the sequence-defined positioning of functional groups in mussel foot proteins. A series of copolymers is established and the adsorption in saline solutions on SiO2 is determined by quartz crystal microbalance measurements and ellipsometry. These studies confirm a synergy between cationic amine groups with catechol units and primary amide groups via an increased adsorptivity and increased polymer layer thicknesses. Therefore, the free radical polymerization of catechol, amine and amide monomers as shown here may lead to simplified mussel-inspired adhesives that can be prepared with the readily scalable methods required for large-scale applications.

Abstract
Biomaterial-based drug delivery systems have been developed to expedite cartilage regeneration; however, challenges related to drug recovery, validation, and efficient drug delivery remain. For instance, compound K (CK) is a major metabolite of ginsenosides that is known to protect against joint degeneration by inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines and the activation of immune cells. However, its effects on cartilage degradation and tissue regeneration remain unclear. Additionally, tissue-adhesive drug delivery depots that stably adhere to cartilage defects are required for CK delivery. In this study, CK-loaded adhesive patches were reported to seal cartilage defects and deliver CK to defect sites, preventing cartilage degradation and accelerating cartilage tissue regeneration. Adhesive patches are stable and suitable for application in surgical procedures under physiological conditions and show excellent adhesiveness to cartilage surfaces. In addition, there were no significant differences in the adhesive polymeric networks before and after CK loading. CK-loaded hydrocaffeic acid-conjugated chitosan patches significantly inhibited the stimulation of cartilage-degrading enzymes and apoptosis in osteoarthritic cartilage by releasing CK in cartilage defects. Additionally, the NFkB signaling pathway of released CK from the adhesive patches in the treatment of osteoarthritis is revealed. Thus, the CK-loaded adhesive patches are expected to significantly contribute to cartilage regeneration.

Abstract
Coronary atherosclerosis is closely related to inflammation and oxidative stress. Owing to poor biocompatibility, lack of personalized treatment, and late toxic side effects, traditional drug-eluting stent intervention, releasing antiproliferative drugs, can delay endothelial repair and cause late thrombosis. The inflammation caused by atherosclerosis results in an acidic microenvironment and oxidative stress, which can be considered as triggers for precise and intelligent treatment. Here, we used catechol hyaluronic acid (C-HA) and cystamine (Cys) to prepare C-HA-Cys hydrogel coatings by amide reaction. The H2S-releasing donor allicin was loaded in the hydrogel to form an intelligent biomimetic coating. The disulfide bond of Cys made the cross-linked network redox-responsive to the inflammation and oxidative stress in the microenvironment by releasing the drug and H2S intelligently to combat the side effects of stent implantation. This study evaluated the hemocompatibility, anti-inflammatory capacity, vascular wall cytocompatibility, and in vivo histocompatibility of this intelligent hydrogel coating. Furthermore, the effect of H2S released from the coating on atherosclerosis-related signaling pathways such as CD31 and cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE), CD36, and ACAT-1 was investigated. Our results indicate that the C-HA-Cys-Allicin hydrogel coating could be manufactured on the surface of vascular interventional devices to achieve a precise response to the microenvironment of the lesion to release drug, which can attain the purpose of prevention of in-stent restenosis and ensure the effectiveness and safety of the application of interventional devices.

Abstract
Melanin-like nanomaterials have emerged in surface biofunctionalization in a material-independent manner due to their versatile adhesion arising from their catechol-rich structures. However, the unique adhesive properties of these materials ironically raise difficulties in their site-specific fabrication. Here, we report a method for site-specific fabrication and patterning of melanin-like pigments, using progressive assembly on an initiator-loaded template (PAINT), different from conventional lithographical methods. In this method, the local progressive assembly could be naturally induced on the given surface pretreated with initiators mediating oxidation of the catecholic precursor, as the intermediates generated from the precursors during the progressive assembly possess sufficient intrinsic underwater adhesion for localization without diffusion into solution. The pigment fabricated by PAINT showed efficient NIR-to-heat conversion properties, which can be useful in biomedical applications such as the disinfection of medical devices and cancer therapies.

Abstract
The design of polymeric biocompatible nanomaterials for biological and medical applications has received special attention in recent years. Among different polymers, the triblock type copolymers (EO)x(PO)y(EO)x or Pluronics® stand out due its favorable characteristics such as biocompatibility, low tissue adhesion, thermosensitivity, and structural capacity to produce different types of macro and nanostructures, e.g. micelles, vesicles, nanocapsules, nanospheres, and hydrogels. However, Pluronic itself is not the "magic bullet" and its functionalization via chemical synthesis following biologically oriented design rules is usually required aiming to improve its properties. Therefore, this paper presents some of the main publications on new methodologies for synthetic modifications and applications of Pluronic-based nanoconstructs in the biomedical field in the last 15 years. In general, the polymer modifications aim to improve physical-chemical properties related to the micellization process or physical entrapment of drug cargo, responsive stimuli, active targeting, thermosensitivity, gelling ability, and hydrogel formation. Among these applications, it can be highlighted the treatment of malignant neoplasms, infectious diseases, wound healing, cellular regeneration, and tissue engineering. Functionalized Pluronic has also been used for various purposes, including medical diagnosis, medical imaging, and even miniaturization, such as the creation of lab-on-a-chip devices. In this context, this review discusses the main scientific contributions to the designing, optimization, and improvement of covalently functionalized Pluronics aiming at new strategies focused on the multiple areas of the biomedical field.

Abstract
Marine mussels produce strong underwater adhesives called mussel adhesive proteins (MAPs) that can adhere to a variety of surfaces under physiological conditions. Thus, MAPs have been investigated as a potentially sustainable alternative to conventional petrochemical-based adhesives. Recombinant MAPs would be promising for large-scale production and commercialization; however, MAPs are intrinsically adhesive, aggregative, and insoluble in water. In this study, we have developed a solubilization method for the control of MAP adhesion by fusion protein technique. Foot protein 1 (Fp1), a kind of MAP, was fused with the highly water-soluble protein, which is the C-terminal domain of ice-nucleation protein K (InaKC), separated by a protease cleaving site. The fusion protein exhibited low adhesion but high solubility and stability. Notably, Fp1 recovered its adhesive property after removal from the InaKC moiety by protease cleaving, which was evaluated and confirmed by the agglomeration of magnetite particles in water. The ability to control adhesion and agglomeration makes MAPs favorable prospects for bio-based adhesives.

Abstract
Barnacle exhibits high adhesion strength underwater for its glue with coupled adhesion mechanisms, including hydrogen bonding, electrostatic force, and hydrophobic interaction. Inspired by such adhesion mechanism, we designed and constructed a hydrophobic phase separation hydrogel induced by the electrostatic and hydrogen bond interaction assembly of PEI and PMAA. By coupling the effect of hydrogen bond, electrostatic force and hydrophobic interaction, our gel materials show an ultrahigh mechanical strength, which is up to 2.66 ± 0.18 MPa. Also, benefit from the coupled adhesion forces, as well as the ability to destroy the interface water layer, the adhesion strength on the polar materials can be up to 1.99 ± 0.11 MPa underwater, while that of the adhesion strength is about 2.70 ± 0.21 MPa under silicon oil. This work provides a deeper understanding of the underwater adhesion principle of barnacle glue. Furthermore, our bioinspired strategy would provide an inspiration for the fabrication of high mechanical gel materials, and the rapid strong adhesive used in both water and organic solvents.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has been comprehensively applied as a new approach to managing wound healing. Particularly, nanoclays are being used to improve traditional wound healing approaches or new therapies. Nanoclays are nanoscale aluminosilicates with remarkable intrinsic properties, including the capacity to promote hemostatic response, anti-inflammatory effects, angiogenesis, and re-epithelization. The main purpose of the present review is focusing on skin lesions, post-surgical wounds, burn wounds, and chronic ulcer skin wounds that can be treated using nanoclays, not only as vehicles for therapeutic molecules' efficacy improvement but also alone due to their native beneficial features. A systematic search of the PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases revealed several studies satisfying the purpose of our study. In addition, the selected keywords were used to refine the information. Non-planar hydrous phyllosilicates have been compared with other nanoclays considering their acute specific surface area and loading capacity are strongly influenced by their structure. Nanocomposites in the powder form may be directly incorporated in polymers to form gels, biofilms, and scaffolds that may be adjustable to wound sites. Also, nanoclays can be directly incorporated into polymer mats. Regarding hydrogels/films and mats, nanoclays can improve their mechanical strength, thermal stability, viscosity, and cohesive strength. Additionally, nanoclays are able to control drug release, as well as their skin bioavailability, and seem to be promising candidates to overcome cytotoxicity problems; further in vivo toxicity studies are required.

Abstract
Uncontrolled hemorrhage caused by trauma can easily lead to death. Efficient and safe hemostatic materials are an urgent and increasing need for hemostatic research. Following a trauma, wound healing is induced by various cellular mechanisms and proteins. Hemostatic biomaterials that can not only halt bleeding quickly but also provide an environment to promote wound healing have been the focus of research in recent years. Mussel-inspired nanoparticle composite hydrogels have been propelling the development of hemostatic materials owing to their unique advantages in adhesion, hemostasis, and bacteriostasis. This review summarizes the hemostatic and antimicrobial fundamentals of polydopamine (PDA)-based nanomaterials and emphasizes current developments in hemorrhage-related PDA nanomaterials. Moreover, it briefly discusses safety concerns and clinical application problems with PDA hemostatic nanomaterials.

Abstract
In this study, functional Pluronic F127 precursors were designed and synthesized for the preparation of thermosensitive hydrogels. Using linear Pluronic thioacetate and Pluronic multi-acrylate precursors, F127-based hydrogels were prepared through thioacetate deprotection-mediated Michael-type addition. The properties of these gels were compared to those obtained through free radical crosslinking of F127 diacrylate. Temperature was found to have a clear influence on gel swelling as a result of F127 thermoresponsiveness. The macromolecular architecture and functionality of the precursors were also optimized and characterized in terms of gelation kinetics and drug diffusion. In vitro tests were conducted on fibroblasts and endothelial cells to assess their response to cellular adhesion with Pluronic gels that were functionalized with an RGD peptide or pretreated with serum proteins to promote cell adhesion. This study provides a method for creating tailored hydrogels suitable for various biomedical applications, such as soft-tissue engineering, cell encapsulation, wound healing, and sustained delivery of therapeutic molecules.

Abstract
Marine-inspired phenolic compounds that exhibit underwater adhesion are used as biomedical adhesives under wet conditions. While these applications mainly use catechol and pyrogallol moieties that contain different numbers of hydroxyl groups on their benzene rings, how this difference affects adhesion and cohesion is not well understood. Herein, the chitosan backbone is functionalized with catechol and pyrogallol at similar modification rates (to give chitosan-catechol (CS-CA) and chitosan-pyrogallol (CS-GA), respectively) and their interaction energies are compared by using a surface forces apparatus (SFA). The phenolic moieties decrease the rigidity of the chitosan chain and increase solubility; consequently, CS-CA and CS-GA are more cohesive and adhesive than chitosan at pH 7.4. Moreover, the additional hydroxyl group of GA provides a further interacting chance; hence, CS-GA is more cohesive and adhesive than CS-CA. This study provides in-depth insight into interactions involving chitosan derivatives bearing introduced phenolic moieties that will help to develop biomedical adhesives.

[PMID: 36826337 PMCID: PMC9957464 DOI: 10.3390/gels9020167] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Revised: 02/15/2023] [Accepted: 02/18/2023] [Indexed: 02/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Conductive hydrogels are promising materials in bioelectronics that ensure a tissue-like soft modulus and re-enact the electrophysiological function of damaged tissues. However, recent approaches to fabricating conductive hydrogels have proved difficult: fixing of the conductive hydrogels on the target tissues hydrogels requires the aids from other medical glues because of their weak tissue-adhesiveness. In this study, an intrinsically conductive and tissue-adhesive granular hydrogel consisting of a PEDOT:PSS conducting polymer and an adhesive catechol-conjugated alginate polymer was fabricated via an electrohydrodynamic spraying method. Because alginate-based polymers can be crosslinked by calcium ions, alginate-catechol polymers mixed with PEDOT:PSS granular hydrogels (ACP) were easily fabricated. The fabricated ACP exhibited not only adhesive and shear-thinning properties but also conductivity similar to that of muscle tissue. Additionally, the granular structure makes the hydrogel injectable through a syringe, enabling on-tissue printing. This multifunctional granular hydrogel can be applied to soft and flexible electronics to connect humans and machines.

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
The design of new hemostatic materials to mitigate uncontrolled bleeding in emergencies is challenging. Chitosan-based hemostatic hydrogels have frequently been used for hemostasis due to their unique biocompatibility, tunable mechanical properties, injectability, and ease of handling. Moreover, chitosan (CS) absorbs red blood cells and activates platelets to promote hemostasis. Benefiting from these desired properties, the hemostatic application of CS hydrogels is attracting ever-increasing research attention. This paper reviews the recent research progress of CS-based hemostatic hydrogels and their advantageous characteristics compared to traditional hemostatic materials. The effects of the hemostatic mechanism, effects of deacetylation degree, relative molecular mass, and chemical modification on the hemostatic performance of CS hydrogels are summarized. Meanwhile, some typical applications of CS hydrogels are introduced to provide references for the preparation of efficient hemostatic hydrogels. Finally, the future perspectives of CS-based hemostatic hydrogels are presented.

Abstract
Endoscopic tattooing with India ink is a popular method for identifying colonic lesions during minimally invasive surgery because it is highly challenging to localize lesions during laparoscopy. However, there is a perceived unmet need for the injection of India ink and carbon particle suspension due to various complications and inconstant durability during the perioperative period. In this study, carbon black-containing self-healing adhesive alginate/polyvinyl alcohol composite hydrogels were synthesized as endoscopic tattooing inks. Alginate (Alg) conjugated with phenylboronic acid (PBA) groups in the backbone was crosslinked with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) because of the dynamic bonds between the phenylboronic acid in alginate and the cis-diol groups of PVA. The carbon black-incorporated Alg-PBA/PVA hydrogels exhibited self-healing and re-shapable properties, indicating that improved intraoperative localization could be achieved. In addition, the adhesive tattooing hydrogels were stably immobilized on the target regions in the intraperitoneal spaces. These carbon black-containing self-healing adhesive hydrogels are expected to be useful in various surgical procedures, including endoscopic tattooing.

Abstract
Hydrogel is a three-dimensional network polymer material rich in water. It is widely used in the biomedical field because of its unique physical and chemical properties and good biocompatibility. In recent years, the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has gradually increased, and the disadvantages caused by traditional drug treatment of IBD have emerged. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new treatments to alleviate IBD. Hydrogel has become a potential therapeutic platform. However, there is a lack of comprehensive review of functional hydrogels for IBD treatment. This paper first summarizes the pathological changes in IBD sites. Then, the action mechanisms of hydrogels prepared from chitosan, sodium alginate, hyaluronic acid, functionalized polyethylene glycol, cellulose, pectin, and γ-polyglutamic acid on IBD were described from aspects of drug delivery, peptide and protein delivery, biologic therapies, loading probiotics, etc. In addition, the advanced functions of IBD treatment hydrogels were summarized, with emphasis on adhesion, synergistic therapy, pH sensitivity, particle size, and temperature sensitivity. Finally, the future development direction of IBD treatment hydrogels has been prospected.

Abstract
The development of a long-acting orally administered dosage form is a challenge. Here, we report development of a multi-layered mucoadhesive gastric patch that could deliver entrapped chemotherapeutic agent for eight days after oral administration. The multi-layered patch was designed to contain core layer, mucoadhesive layer and backing layer. The core layer contained the model chemotherapeutic agent, regorafenib. The mucoadhesive layer made of chitosan-hydrocaffeic acid conjugate showed greatest mucoadhesion strength of 18.1 ± 0.78 kPa in freshly excised rat gastric mucosa. The backing layer made of hydrophobic polycaprolactone-polydimethylsiloxane composite showed the contact angle of 120 ± 4.7° after placement of water drop. The entrapped regorafenib predominantly released from the mucoadhesive-side of the patch into simulated gastric fluid and showed a zero-order release profile. The patches were found to be stable for desired characteristics for up to 3 months in long term storage conditions. The pharmacokinetic studies in rat model revealed constant plasma concentration of regorafenib sustained for 8 days after oral administration of gastric patch. The gastric tissue where the patch adhered for 8 days did not show any significant histological changes compared with the normal gastric tissue. The oral administration of single dose of regorafenib-loaded gastric patch in FaDu cell xenografted tumor bearing athymic nude mice has shown significant (P < 0.05) reduction in the tumor volume over 7 days compared to the control group. Taken together, the multi-layered mucoadhesive gastric patch can be developed as a long-acting oral drug delivery system.

Abstract
Routine wound management faces significant challenges including rebleeding and bacterial infection that affect millions of people each year. However, conventional wound dressings (e.g., gauze, bandage) are limited to simply cover the injured surfaces and rarely show special functionality to promote the wound recovery. Currently, injectable hydrogels have been widely designed as multifunctional wound dressings to manage the hemostatic and wound healing process. Nevertheless, the integration of multiple functions through simple composition and easy construction is still difficult and hardly achieved. Herein, we reported a bioinspired multifunctional injectable hydrogel (CQCS@gel) consisted of only two components, catechol-functionalized quaternized chitosan (CQCS) and dibenzaldehyde-terminated poly(ethylene glycol) (DB-PEG2000). The building blocks endowed CQCS@gel with tissue-adhesive, antibacterial, antioxidant, self-healing and pH-responsive properties. Based on the in vivo hemostatic study, quick hemostasis for acute tissue injuries such as liver and carotid wounds was realized owing to the rapid gelation rate and strong tissue-adhesiveness of CQCS@gel. Moreover, CQCS@gel remarkably boosted the chronic recovery process of MRSA-infected cutaneous wounds by promoting collagen deposition, hair follicles regeneration and angiogenesis. Overall, this multifunctional injectable hydrogel shows potentials as a universal wound dressing in clinical applications, enabling both hemostasis and infected wound management. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This is the first report showing the multifunctional injectable hydrogel (CQCS@gel) consisted of catechol-functionalized quaternized chitosan and dibenzaldehyde-terminated poly(ethylene glycol). The incorporation of quaternary ammonium groups imparted the CQCS@gel with outstanding contact-active bacterial killing efficiency and the catechol moieties enhanced its tissue adhesive and antioxidant properties. Moreover, the reversible imine crosslinks endowed the CQCS@gel with self-healing and pH-responsive drug release capabilities. These multiple functions were integrated into a single injectable hydrogel system with easy availability and low cost. In vitro and in vivo results showed that the newly designed hydrogel was biocompatible, realized successful sealing hemostasis under multiple bleeding scenarios and enabled accelerated healing of infected skin wounds.

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 biocompatible hydrogel adhesives with robust tissue adhesion to realize instant hemorrhage control and injury sealing, especially for emergency rescue and tissue repair, is still challenging. Herein, we report a potent hydrogel adhesive by free radical polymerization of N-acryloyl aspartic acid (AASP) in a facile and straightforward way. Through delicate adjustment of steric hindrance, the synergistic effect between interface interactions and cohesion energy can be achieved in PAASP hydrogel verified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis and simulation calculation compared to poly (N-acryloyl glutamic acid) (PAGLU) and poly (N-acryloyl amidomalonic acid) (PAAMI) hydrogels. The adhesion strength of the PAASP hydrogel could reach 120 kPa to firmly seal the broken organs to withstand the external force with persistent stability under physiological conditions, and rapid hemostasis in different hemorrhage models on mice is achieved using PAASP hydrogel as physical barrier. Furthermore, the paper-based Fe3+ transfer printing method is applied to construct PAASP-based Janus hydrogel patch with both adhesive and non-adhesive surfaces, by which simultaneous wound healing and postoperative anti-adhesion can be realized in gastric perforation model on mice. This advanced hydrogel may show vast potential as bio-adhesives for emergency rescue and tissue/organ repair. The hydrogel with good mechanical properties and adhesiveness is designed. The hydrogel adhesive can act as physical barrier for emergency rescue. The Janus hydrogel can realize efficient gastric perforation repair on mice.

Abstract
Electrode impedance is one of the greatest challenges facing neural interfacing medical devices and the use of electrical stimulation-based therapies in the fields of neurology and regenerative medicine. Maximizing contact between electronics and tissue would allow for more accurate recordings of neural activity and to stimulate with less power in implantable devices as electric signals could be more precisely transferred by a stable interfacial area. Neural environments, inherently wet and ion-rich, present a unique challenge for traditional conductive adhesives. As such, we look to marine mussels that use a 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-L-analine (DOPA)-containing proteinaceous excretion to adhere to a variety of substrates for inspiration. By functionalizing alginate, which is an abundantly available natural polymer, with the catechol residues DOPA contains, we developed a hydrogel-based matrix to which carbon-based nanofiller was added to render it conductive. The synthesized product had adhesive energy within the range of previously reported mussel-based polymers, good electrical properties and was not cytotoxic to brain derived neural precursor cells.

Mater Today Bio 2022; 16:100392. [PMID: 36033376 PMCID: PMC9403564 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2022.100392] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2022] [Revised: 08/01/2022] [Accepted: 08/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
Chronic wounds and the accompanying inflammation are ongoing challenges in clinical treatment. They are usually accompanied by low pH and high oxidative stress environments, limiting cell growth and proliferation. Ordinary medical gauze has limited therapeutic effects on chronic wounds, and there is active research to develop new wound dressings. The chitosan hydrogel could be widely used in biomedical science with great biocompatibility, but the low mechanical properties limit its development. This work uses polyacrylamide to prepare double-network (DN) hydrogels based on bioadhesive catechol-chitosan hydrogels. Cystamine and N, N′-Bis(acryloyl)cystamine, which can be cross-linking agents with disulfide bonds to prepare redox-responsive DN hydrogels and pH-responsive nanoparticles (NPs) prepared by acetalized cyclodextrin (ACD) are used to intelligently release drugs against chronic inflammation microenvironments. The addition of catechol groups and ACD-NPs loaded with the Resolvin E1 (RvE1), promotes cell adhesion and regulates the inflammatory response at the wound site. The preparation of the DN hydrogel in this study can be used to treat and regulate the inflammatory microenvironment of chronic wounds accurately. It provides new ideas for using inflammation resolving factor loaded in DN hydrogel of good biocompatibility with enhanced mechanical properties to intelligent regulate the wound inflammation and promote the wound repaired. Dual-response hydrogel drug delivery system was used to intelligently release drugs at inflammation area of chronic wound. DN hydrogel was designed to enhance the properties of chitosan-based hydrogel with two cross-linking agents. Resolvin E1 loaded into wound dressing can help to regulate wound inflammation by regulating macrophage behavior.

Abstract
Large bone defects resulting from trauma, infection and tumors are usually difficult for the body's repair mechanisms to heal spontaneously. Generally, various types of bones and orthopedic implants are adopted to enhance bone repair and regeneration in the clinic. Due to the limitations of traditional treatments, bone defect repair is still a compelling challenge for orthopedic surgeons. In recent years, bone tissue engineering has become a potential option for bone repair and regeneration. Amidst the various scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications, hydrogels are considered a new type of non-toxic, non-irritating and biocompatible materials, which are widely used in the biomedicine field currently. Some studies have demonstrated that hydrogels can provide a three-dimensional network structure similar to a natural extracellular matrix for tissue regeneration and can be used to transport cells, biofactors, nutrients and drugs. Therefore, hydrogels may have the potential to be multifunctional sustained-release drug carriers in the treatment of bone defects. The recent applications of different types of hydrogels in bone defect repair were briefly reviewed in this paper.

Abstract
The complicated tumor microenvironment (TME) is featured by low pH values, high redox status, and hypoxia, which greatly supports the genesis, development, and metastasis of tumors, leading to drug resistance and clinical failure. Moreover, a lot of immunosuppressive cells infiltrate in such TME, resulting in depressing immunotherapy. Therefore, the development of TME-responsive nanoplatforms has shown great significance in enhancing cancer therapeutics. Metal-phenolic networks (MPNs)-based nanosystems, which self-assemble via coordination of phenolic materials and metal ions, have emerged as excellent TME theranostic nanoplatforms. MPNs have unique properties including fast preparation, tunable morphologies, pH response, and biocompatibility. Besides, functionalization and surface modification can endow MPNs with specific functions for application requirements. Here, the representative engineering strategies of various polyphenols are first introduced, followed by the introduction of the engineering mechanisms of polyphenolic nanosystems, fabrication, and distinct properties of MPNs. Then, their advances in TME modulation are highlighted, such as antiangiogenesis, hypoxia relief, combination therapy sensitization, and immunosuppressive TME reversion. Finally, we will discuss the challenges and future perspectives of MPNs-based nanosystems for enhancing cancer therapy.

Abstract
Emerging sutureless wound-closure techniques have led to paradigm shifts in wound management. State-of-the-art biomaterials offer biocompatible and biodegradable platforms enabling high cohesion (toughness) and adhesion for rapid bleeding control as well as robust attachment of implantable devices. Tough bioadhesion stems from the synergistic contributions of cohesive and adhesive interactions. This Review provides a biomacromolecular design roadmap for the development of tough adhesive surgical sealants. We discuss a library of materials and methods to introduce toughness and adhesion to biomaterials. Intrinsically tough and elastic polymers are leveraged primarily by introducing strong but dynamic inter- and intramolecular interactions either through polymer chain design or using crosslink regulating additives. In addition, many efforts have been made to promote underwater adhesion via covalent/noncovalent bonds, or through micro/macro-interlock mechanisms at the tissue interfaces. The materials settings and functional additives for this purpose and the related characterization methods are reviewed. Measurements and reporting needs for fair comparisons of different materials and their properties are discussed. Finally, future directions and further research opportunities for developing tough bioadhesive surgical sealants are highlighted.

Abstract
Catechol, a major mussel-inspired underwater adhesive moiety, has been used to develop functional adhesive hydrogels for biomedical applications. However, oxidative catechol chemistry for interpolymer crosslinking and adhesion is exclusively effective under alkaline conditions, with limited applications in non-alkaline conditions. To overcome this limitation, pH-universal catechol-amine chemistry to recapitulate naturally occurring biochemical events induced by pH variation in the mussel foot is suggested. Aldehyde moieties are introduced to hyaluronic acid (HA) by partial oxidation, which enables dual-mode catechol tethering to the HA via both stable amide and reactive secondary amine bonds. Because of the presence of additional reactive amine groups, the resultant aldehyde-modified HA conjugated with catechol (AH-CA) is effectively crosslinked in acidic and neutral pH conditions. The AH-CA hydrogel exhibits not only fast gelation via active crosslinking regardless of pH conditions, but also strong adhesion and excellent biocompatibility. The hydrogel enables rapid and robust wound sealing and hemostasis in neutral and alkaline conditions. The hydrogel also mediates effective therapeutic stem cell and drug delivery even in dynamic and harsh environments, such as a motile heart and acidic stomach. Therefore, the AH-CA hydrogel can serve as a versatile biomaterial in a wide range of pH conditions in vivo.

Injectable adhesive self-healing biocompatible hydrogel for haemostasis, wound healing, and postoperative tissue adhesion prevention in nephron-sparing surgery. Acta Biomater 2022; 152:157-170. [PMID: 36100176 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.09.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2022] [Revised: 08/17/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Nephron-sparing surgery is a well-established treatment in patients with T1a renal cell carcinoma; however, the complex suturing process prolongs warm ischaemia time, affects the preservation of normal renal parenchymal function, and causes avoidable postoperative tissue adhesion complications, including chronic abdominal pain, intestinal obstruction, and female infertility. Hence, the design of multifunctional biomaterials with haemostasis, postoperative wound management, and postoperative tissue adhesion prevention properties for nephron-sparing surgeries is urgently needed. In this study, a series of injectable adhesive multifunctional biocompatible hydrogels were designed based on the free-radical polymerisation of monomers acryloyl-6-aminocaproic acid (AA) and N-acryloyl 2-glycine (NAG), and the ionic coordination between Ca2+ and the abundant carboxyl groups in AA and NAG. AA/NAG/Ca (AA, NAG, and Ca refer to acryloyl-6-aminocaproic acid, N-acryloyl 2-glycine and calcium chloride, respectively) hydrogel exhibited good mechanical properties, swelling and adhesion properties, flexibility, in vitro blood-clotting ability, and cytocompatibility. In vivo experiments on liver injury models and rat/rabbit nephron-sparing surgery models elucidated that the AA/NAG/Ca hydrogel had haemostasis performance and wound healing properties that led to short bleeding time, reduced bleeding volume, and well-organised nephron structures. An abdomen-caecum adhesion model indicated that the AA/NAG/Ca hydrogel showed excellent anti-adhesion properties. In summary, this multifunctional hydrogel exhibited potential for improving haemostasis and wound management in nephron-sparing surgeries, showing potential for clinical application. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Extended warm ischemia time during nephron sparing surgery negatively affected postoperative renal function due to the need for hemostasis at the wound with abundant blood supply, and postoperative wound healing and additional adhesions caused by the surgical procedure deserve attention. Based on the efficient and stable adhesion properties of hydrogels and the ability to promote wound healing. Herein, a series of adhesive self-healing biocompatible hydrogels were prepared based on free-radical polymerization of acryloyl-6-aminocaproic acid (AA) and N-acryloyl 2-glycine (NAG) and the ionic coordination between Ca2+ with the abundant carboxyl groups in AA and NAG. AA/NAG/Ca hydrogel showed hemostasis property in nephron sparing surgery model, promote kidney wound healing, and could perform anti-postoperative adhesion efficacy in an abdomen-caecum adhesion model.

Abstract
Protein-based underwater adhesives of marine organisms exhibit extraordinary binding strength in high salinity based on utilizing a variety of molecular interaction mechanisms. These include acid-base interactions, bidentate bindings or complex hydrogen bonding interactions, and electrochemical manipulation of interfacial bonding. In this Perspective, we briefly review recent progress in the field, and we discuss how interfacial electrochemistry can vary interfacial forces by concerted tuning of surface charging, hydration forces, and tuning of the interfacial ion concentration. We further discuss open questions, controversial findings, and new paths into understanding and utilizing redox-proteins and derived polymers for enhancing underwater adhesion in a complex salt environment.

Abstract
Self-healing performance plays an important role in the in situ microinvasive injection of hydrogels, which can reduce sudden drug release and prolong the service life of hydrogels. In this paper, a multifunctional injectable and self-healing hydrogel for wound healing was developed. Chitosan (CS) was modified with TA to achieve potential adhesion, anti-inflammatory properties, and slower degradation rate. The hydrogel was formed by Schiff base reaction based on amino groups in CS and aldehyde groups in oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA). The gel formation process was quick and convenient in mild conditions without extra initiators. Due to the dynamically reversible covalent bonds, the hydrogel could self-heal within 2 min after injection. It also had good biocompatibility and hemostatic performance. With the addition of TA, the hydrogel acquired anti-inflammatory properties and promoted cell growth, effectively accelerating the wound-healing process in vivo. The CS-TA/OHA hydrogel is expected to be used for skin repair.
