Protamine-grafted carboxymethyl chitosan based hydrogel with adhesive and long-term antibacterial properties for hemostasis and skin wound healing. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 336:122125. [PMID: 38670756 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122125] [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: 01/20/2024] [Revised: 03/14/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
In this study, we developed a tissue-adhesive and long-term antibacterial hydrogel consisting of protamine (PRTM) grafted carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) (PCMC), catechol groups modified CMC (DCMC), and oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA), named DCMC-OHA-PCMC. According to the antibacterial experiments, the PCMC-treated groups showed obvious and long-lasting inhibition zones against E. coli (and S. aureus), and the corresponding diameters varied from 10.1 mm (and 15.3 mm) on day 1 to 9.8 mm (and 15.3 mm) on day 7. The DCMC-OHA-PCMC hydrogel treated groups also exhibited durable antibacterial ability against E. coli (and S. aureus), and the antibacterial rates changed from 99.3 ± 0.21 % (and 99.6 ± 0.36 %) on day 1 to 76.2 ± 1.74 % (and 84.2 ± 1.11 %) on day 5. Apart from good mechanical and tissue adhesion properties, the hydrogel had excellent hemostatic ability mainly because of the grafted positive-charged PRTM. As the animal assay results showed, the hydrogel was conducive to promoting the deposition of new collagen (0.84 ± 0.03), the regeneration of epidermis (98.91 ± 6.99 μm) and wound closure in the process of wound repairing. In conclusion, the presented outcomes underline the prospective potential of the multifunctional CMC-based hydrogel for applications in wound dressings.

Functional Oxidized Hyaluronic Acid Cross-Linked Decellularized Heart Valves for Improved Immunomodulation, Anti-Calcification, and Recellularization. Adv Healthc Mater 2024; 13:e2303737.

Abstract
Tissue engineering heart valves (TEHVs) are expected to address the limitations of mechanical and bioprosthetic valves used in clinical practice. Decellularized heart valve (DHV) is an important scaffold of TEHVs due to its natural three-dimensional structure and bioactive extracellular matrix, but its mechanical properties and hemocompatibility are impaired. In this study, DHV is cross-linked with three different molecular weights of oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA) by a Schiff base reaction and presented enhanced stability and hemocompatibility, which could be mediated by the molecular weight of OHA. Notably, DHV cross-linked with middle- and high-molecular-weight OHA could drive the macrophage polarization toward the M2 phenotype in vitro. Moreover, DHV cross-linked with middle-molecular-weight OHA scaffolds are further modified with RGD-PHSRN peptide (RPF-OHA/DHV) to block the residual aldehyde groups of the unreacted OHA. The results show that RPF-OHA/DHV not only exhibits anti-calcification properties, but also facilitates endothelial cell adhesion and proliferation in vitro. Furthermore, RPF-OHA/DHV shows excellent performance under an in vivo hemodynamic environment with favorable recellularization and immune regulation without calcification. The optimistic results demonstrate that OHA with different molecular weights has different cross-linking effects on DHV and that RPF-OHA/DHV scaffold with enhanced immune regulation, anti-calcification, and recellularization properties for clinical transformation.

Abstract
Delayed wound healing is often caused by bacterial infections and persistent inflammation. Multifunctional materials with anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and hemostatic properties are crucial for accelerated wound healing. In this study, we report a biomacromolecule-based scaffold (ArCh) by uniquely combining arabinogalactan (Ar) and chitosan (Ch) using a Schiff-based reaction. Further, the optimized ArCh scaffolds were loaded with Glycyrrhizin (GA: anti-inflammatory molecule) conjugated NIR light-absorbing Copper sulfide (CuS) nanoparticles. The resultant GACuS ArCh scaffolds were characterized for different wound healing parameters in in-vitro and in-vivo models. Our results indicated that GACuS ArCh scaffolds showed excellent swelling, biodegradation, and biocompatibility in vitro. Further results obtained indicated that GACuS ArCh scaffolds demonstrated mild hyperthermia and enhanced hemostatic, anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, and wound-healing effects when exposed to NIR light. The scaffolds, upon further validation, may be beneficial in accelerating wound healing and tissue regeneration response.

Multifunctional hemostatic polysaccharide-based sponge enhanced by tunicate cellulose: A promising approach for photothermal antibacterial activity and accelerated wound healing.

Abstract
Fast and effective hemostasis and protection against wound infection play a crucial role in trauma care. In this study, a sponge scaffold with a self-expanding interpenetrating macropore structure was designed via two-step cross-linking method for hemostasis and photothermal antimicrobial activity. Oxidized Konjac glucomannan (OKGM) and chitosan (CS) were crosslinked once to form a dynamic covalent bonding network, and a basic three-dimensional fiber porous network framework was constructed by uniformly dispersing Tunicate nanocellulose (TCNCs). Secondary crosslinking introduced Polydopamine (PDA NPs) into the sponge, while dynamic hydrogen bonds were interleaved to stabilize the frame. PDA NPs enhanced the sponge's antibacterial and antioxidant properties due to its good photothermal conversion efficiency and oxygen radical scavenging ability. Compared to cotton gauze and gelatin sponges, the composite sponges showed superior blood cell adhesion and platelet activation. In tests on rat liver trauma models, composite sponges showed shorter hemostasis time (12 ± 2.17 s) and less blood loss (0.1 ± 0.052 g). Sponges can protect wound tissue through their adhesion properties. In the full-thickness wound model infected with S. aureus, the composite sponge accelerated wound healing. Overall, this composite sponge has great potential for clinical use as a wound dressing.

Wound Healing Performance in a Moist Environment of Crystalline Glucose/Mannose Film as a New Dressing Material Using a Rat Model: Comparing with Medical-Grade Wound Dressing and Alginate. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:1532. [PMID: 38004398 PMCID: PMC10674295 DOI: 10.3390/ph16111532] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2023] [Revised: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/26/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Although medical wound dressings produced using hydrocolloids and alginate were effective in wound healing, adhesion at the wound site and the resulting delayed healing have been a problem. As a new wound dressing material, crystalline wound dressings produced from glucose/mannose were used in this study, which aimed to clarify the properties, adhesion reduction, and wound healing performance of a new wound dressing. Crystalline glucose/mannose films were obtained via alkali treatment using the solution casting method. The structure of the crystalline glucose/mannose films was analogous to the cellulose II polymorph, and the crystallinity decreased with time in hydrated conditions. The crystalline glucose/mannose films had adequate water absorption of 34 × 10-4 g/mm3 for 5 min. These allowed crystalline glucose/mannose films to remove excess wound exudates while maintaining a moist wound healing condition. This in vivo study demonstrated the healing effects of three groups, which were crystalline glucose/mannose group > alginate group > hydrocolloid group. At 1 week, the crystalline glucose/mannose group was also found to be non-adhesive to the portion of wound healing. This was evidenced by the earlier onset of the healing process, which assisted in re-epithelization and promotion of collagen formation and maturation. These results implied that crystalline glucose/mannose films were a promising candidate that could accelerate the wound healing process, compared with medical-grade wound dressing and alginate.

Abstract
Konjac glucomannan (KGM) is a naturally occurring macromolecular polysaccharide that exhibits remarkable film-forming and gel-forming properties, and a high degree of biocompatibility and biodegradability. The helical structure of KGM is maintained by the acetyl group, which plays a crucial role in preserving its structural integrity. Various degradation methods, including the topological structure, can enhance the stability of KGM and improve its biological activity. Recent research has focused on modifying KGM to enhance its properties, utilizing multi-scale simulation, mechanical experiments, and biosensor research. This review presents a comprehensive overview of the structure and properties of KGM, recent advancements in non-alkali thermally irreversible gel research, and its applications in biomedical materials and related areas of research. Additionally, this review outlines prospects for future KGM research, providing valuable research ideas for follow-up experiments.

Abstract
Food hydrogels are biopolymeric materials made from food-grade biopolymers with gelling properties (proteins and polysaccharides) and a 3D network capable of incorporating large amounts of water. They have sparked considerable interest because of their potential and broad application range in the biomedical and pharmaceutical sectors. However, hydrogel research in the field of food science is still limited. This knowledge gap provides numerous opportunities for implementing their unique properties, such as high water-holding capacity, moderated texture, compatibility with other substances, cell biocompatibility, biodegradability, and high resemblance to living tissues, for the development of novel, functional food matrices. For that reason, this article includes a bibliometric analysis characterizing research trends in food protein-polysaccharide hydrogels (over the last ten years). Additionally, it characterizes the most recent developments in hydrogel induction methods and the most recent application progress of hydrogels as food matrices as carriers for the targeted delivery of bioactive compounds. Finally, this article provides a future perspective on the need to evaluate the feasibility of using plant-based proteins and polysaccharides to develop food matrices that protect nutrients, including bioactive substances, throughout processing, storage, and digestion until they reach the specific targeted area of the digestive system.

Abstract
Wound repair remains a huge clinical challenge, which can cause bleeding, infection, and patient death. In our current research, a bioactive, injectable, multifunctional composite hydrogel doped with nanospheres was prepared with antibacterial and angiogenesis-promoting functions for the treatment of wounds. Amino groups in ε-polylysine (ε-EPL) undergo dynamic Schiff base reaction cross-linking with oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA), and F127 exhibits unique temperature sensitivity to form an injectable thermosensitive hydrogel (FHE10), which can form a hydrogel to cover the wound at body temperature. Nanospheres (PNs) prepared using poly (glyceryl-sebacate-acrylate) (PGSA) were loaded into hydrogels (FHE10) for promoting wound repair. The prepared FHE10 exhibited rapid gelation, good injectable abilities, and showed resistance to the flourish of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). In vitro investigations showed that FHE10 had good hemocompatibility and cytocompatibility. FHE10@PNs exhibited good proliferation, migration, and tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF-1). Furthermore, FHE10@PNs significantly promoted reepithelialization and collagen deposition as well as micro-vascularization compared with the use of FHE10 or PNs alone, thereby accelerating the repair of wounds. In general, this study demonstrated that the multifunctional injectable composite hydrogel showed great potential in wound treatment.

Abstract
The development of multidrug-resistant (MDR) microorganisms has increased dramatically in the last decade as a natural consequence of the misuse and overuse of antimicrobials. The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes that this is one of the top ten global public health threats facing humanity today, demanding urgent multisectoral action. The UK government foresees that bacterial antimicrobial resistance (AMR) could kill 10 million people per year by 2050 worldwide. In this sense, metallic nanoparticles (NPs) have emerged as promising alternatives due to their outstanding antibacterial and antibiofilm properties. The efficient delivery of the NPs is also a matter of concern, and recent studies have demonstrated that hydrogels present an excellent ability to perform this task. The porous hydrogel structure with a high-water retention capability is a convenient host for the incorporation of the metallic nanoparticles, providing an efficient path to deliver the NPs properly reducing bacterial infections caused by MDR pathogenic microorganisms. This article reviews the most recent investigations on the characteristics, applications, advantages, and limitations of hydrogels combined with metallic NPs for treating MDR bacteria. The mechanisms of action and the antibiofilm activity of the NPs incorporated into hydrogels are also described. Finally, this contribution intends to fill some gaps in nanomedicine and serve as a guide for the development of advanced medical products.

Abstract
Carbon derived from biomass waste usage is rising in various fields of application due to its availability, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability, but it remains limited in tissue engineering applications. Carbon derived from human hair waste was selected to fabricate a carbon-based bioscaffold (CHAK) due to its ease of collection and inexpensive synthesis procedure. The CHAK was fabricated via gelation, rapid freezing, and ethanol immersion and characterised based on their morphology, porosity, Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR), tensile strength, swelling ability, degradability, electrical conductivity, and biocompatibility using Wharton’s jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (WJMSCs). The addition of carbon reduced the porosity of the bioscaffold. Via FTIR analysis, the combination of carbon, agar, and KGM was compatible. Among the CHAK, the 3HC bioscaffold displayed the highest tensile strength (62.35 ± 29.12 kPa). The CHAK also showed excellent swelling and water uptake capability. All bioscaffolds demonstrated a slow degradability rate (<50%) after 28 days of incubation, while the electrical conductivity analysis showed that the 3AHC bioscaffold had the highest conductivity compared to other CHAK bioscaffolds. Our findings also showed that the CHAK bioscaffolds were biocompatible with WJMSCs. These findings showed that the CHAK bioscaffolds have potential as bioscaffolds for tissue engineering applications.
