Abstract
Rapid and effective hemostasis is essential for the management of battlefield injuries and traumatic hemorrhages. Among various hemostatic agents, starch-based materials have attracted considerable attention due to their favorable biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and cost-effectiveness. However, the potential of kudzu starch (KS) as a raw material for hemostatic applications remains underexplored. In this study, porous kudzu starch (PS) was crosslinked with sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) to synthesize a novel hemostatic agent, STMP/PS (SPS), with enhanced functional performance. The structural and physicochemical properties of SPS were systematically characterized using Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analysis, and other analytical techniques, confirming successful chemical modification and the formation of a highly porous architecture. SPS exhibited excellent water absorption and dye adsorption capacities. Hemostatic efficacy was evaluated through a series of in vitro and in vivo models, where SPS demonstrated significantly improved performance compared to a commercially available hemostatic product. Mechanistic investigations revealed that SPS facilitates red blood cell aggregation and platelet adhesion, thereby accelerating the coagulation cascade. In addition, biosafety assessments, including cytotoxicity, acute toxicity, and hemolysis assays, confirmed its excellent biocompatibility and low toxicity. These findings underscore the clinical potential of SPS as a rapid, effective, and safe starch-based hemostatic material.
期刊介绍:
Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces is an international journal devoted to fundamental and applied research on colloid and interfacial phenomena in relation to systems of biological origin, having particular relevance to the medical, pharmaceutical, biotechnological, food and cosmetic fields.
Submissions that: (1) deal solely with biological phenomena and do not describe the physico-chemical or colloid-chemical background and/or mechanism of the phenomena, and (2) deal solely with colloid/interfacial phenomena and do not have appropriate biological content or relevance, are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
The journal publishes regular research papers, reviews, short communications and invited perspective articles, called BioInterface Perspectives. The BioInterface Perspective provide researchers the opportunity to review their own work, as well as provide insight into the work of others that inspired and influenced the author. Regular articles should have a maximum total length of 6,000 words. In addition, a (combined) maximum of 8 normal-sized figures and/or tables is allowed (so for instance 3 tables and 5 figures). For multiple-panel figures each set of two panels equates to one figure. Short communications should not exceed half of the above. It is required to give on the article cover page a short statistical summary of the article listing the total number of words and tables/figures.
