Suturing remains the gold standard technique for small vessels; however, suturing the collapsed lumen of microvessels is challenging and time-consuming, with the risk of misplaced sutures leading to failure. Although multiple solutions have been reported, the emphasis has predominantly been on resolving challenges related to arteries rather than veins, and none has proven superior. In this study, we introduce an innovative solution to address these challenges through the development of an injectable lidocaine-loaded pectin hydrogel by using computational and experimental methods. To understand the extent of interactions between the drug and the pectin chain, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and quantum mechanics (QM) calculations were conducted in the first step of the research. Then, a series of experimental studies were designed to prepare lidocaine-loaded injectable pectin-based hydrogels, and their characterization was performed by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and rheological analysis. After all the results were evaluated, the drug-loaded pectin-based hydrogel exhibiting self-healing properties was selected as a potential candidate for <i>in vivo</i> studies to determine its performance during operation. In this context, the hydrogel was injected into the divided vessel ends and perivascular area, allowing for direct suturing through the gel matrix. While our hydrogel effectively prevented vasospasm and facilitated micro- and supermicro-vascular anastomoses, it was noted that it did not cause significant changes in late-stage imaging and histopathological analysis up to 6 months. We strongly believe that pectin-based hydrogel potentially enhanced microlevel arterial, lymphatic, and particularly venous anastomoses.</p>","PeriodicalId":30,"journal":{"name":"Biomacromolecules","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141453620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, natural polymer-based hydrogels can come with their own set of limitations, such as low mechanical strength, limited cell affinity, and the potential cytotoxicity of cross-linkers, which delineate the boundaries of their usage and hamper their practical application. To overcome the limitation of natural-derived polymers, this study utilized a mixture of oxidized alginate and gelatin with 5 mg/mL polycaprolactone (PCL):gelatin nanofiber fragments at a ratio of 7:3 (OGN-7) to develop a hydrogel composite wound dressing that can be injected and has the ability to be remended. The in situ formation of the remendable hydrogel is facilitated by dual cross-linking of oxidized alginate chains with gelatin and PCL/gelatin nanofibers through Schiff-base mechanisms, supported by the physical integration of nanofibers, thereby obviating the need for additional cross-linking agents. Furthermore, OGN-7 exhibits increased stiffness (γ = 79.4-316.3%), reduced gelation time (543 ± 5 to 475 ± 5 s), improved remendability of the hydrogel, and excellent biocompatibility. Notably, OGN-7 achieves full fusion within 1 h of incubation and maintains structural integrity under external stress, effectively overcoming the inherent mechanical weaknesses of natural polymer-based dressings and enhancing biofunctionality. The therapeutic efficacy of OGN-7 was validated through a full-thickness <i>in vivo</i> wound healing analysis, which demonstrated that OGN-7 significantly accelerates wound closure compared to alginate-based dressings and control groups. Histological analysis further revealed that re-epithelialization and collagen deposition were markedly enhanced in the regenerating skin of the OGN-7 group, confirming the superior therapeutic performance of OGN-7.
