Conventional antimicrobial dressings often fall short in their ability to inhibit bacterial infections while simultaneously promoting wound healing. To address this issue, a polysaccharide self-healing hydrogel (CPP@PDA/Que3) wound dressing is successfully developed by incorporating quercetin and polydopamine nanoparticles into a carboxymethyl chitosan matrix. The dressing can be easily injected locally to create a protective barrier over the wound, effectively stopping bleeding and rapidly inhibiting inflammation. Furthermore, the CPP@PDA/Que3 hydrogel exhibits remarkable antioxidant and antibacterial properties, stemming from the combination of quercetin and near-infrared (NIR) photothermal therapy. It demonstrates the ability to eliminate 99.52% of Staphylococcus aureus and 99.39% of Escherichia coli in in vitro antibacterial experiments. Additionally, the in vivo wound healing experiment shows a healing rate of ≈97%. The experimental results indicate that under NIR laser (808 nm) irradiation, the polysaccharide-based hydrogel dressing significantly inhibits bacterial growth, reduces oxidative stress, expedites angiogenesis, and thereby accelerates the transition from inflammation to wound healing. In summary, the CPP@PDA/Que3 hydrogel exhibits significant potential as a wound dressing, providing a novel approach for clinically advancing the treatment of bacterial wounds.</p>","PeriodicalId":113,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Healthcare Materials","volume":" ","pages":"e2403267"},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142646215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) can self-regenerate to some extent for short nerve gaps. In contrast, the central nervous system (CNS) has an intrinsic limitation to self-repair owing to its convoluted neural microenvironment and inhibitory response. The primary phase of CNS injury, happening within 48 h, results from external impacts like mechanical stress. Afterward, the secondary phase of the injury occurs, originating from neuronal excitotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation. No golden standard to treat injured neurons exists, and conventional medicine serves only as a protective approach to alleviating the symptoms of chronic injury. Synthetic peptides provide a promising approach for neural repair, either as soluble drugs or by using their intrinsic self-assembly propensity to serve as an extracellular matrix (ECM) mimic for cell adhesion and to incorporate bioactive epitopes. In this review, an overview of nerve injury models, common in vitro models, and peptide-based therapeutics such as ECM mimics is provided. Due to the complexity of treating neuronal injuries, a multidisciplinary collaboration between biologists, physicians, and material scientists is paramount.
