Hydrogel-based dressings exhibit suitable features for successful wound healing, including flexibility, high water-vapor permeability and moisture retention, and exudate absorption capacity. Moreover, enriching the hydrogel matrix with additional therapeutic components has the potential to generate synergistic results. Thus, the present study centered on diabetic wound healing using a Matrigel-enriched alginate hydrogel embedded with polylactic acid (PLA) microspheres containing hydrogen peroxide (HO). The synthesis and physicochemical characterization of the samples, performed to evidence their compositional and microstructural features, swelling, and oxygen-entrapping capacity, were reported. For investigating the three-fold goal of the designed dressings (i.e., releasing oxygen at the wound site and maintaining a moist environment for faster healing, ensuring the absorption of a significant amount of exudate, and providing biocompatibility), in vivo biological tests on wounds of diabetic mice were approached. Evaluating multiple aspects during the healing process, the obtained composite material proved its efficiency for wound dressing applications by accelerating wound healing and promoting angiogenesis in diabetic skin injuries.
基于水凝胶的敷料具有促进伤口成功愈合的合适特性,包括柔韧性、高水蒸气渗透性和保湿性以及渗出液吸收能力。此外,用额外的治疗成分丰富水凝胶基质有可能产生协同效果。因此,本研究聚焦于使用富含基质胶的藻酸盐水凝胶进行糖尿病伤口愈合,该水凝胶嵌入了含有过氧化氢(HO)的聚乳酸(PLA)微球。报告了对样品进行的合成及物理化学表征,以证明其组成和微观结构特征、膨胀性和氧气捕获能力。为了研究设计的敷料的三个目标(即在伤口部位释放氧气并维持湿润环境以加快愈合、确保吸收大量渗出液以及提供生物相容性),对糖尿病小鼠的伤口进行了体内生物学测试。在愈合过程中评估多个方面,所获得的复合材料通过加速糖尿病皮肤损伤的伤口愈合和促进血管生成,证明了其在伤口敷料应用中的有效性。
