Burns are among the most common causes of trauma worldwide. Reducing the healing time of deep burn wounds has always been a major challenge. Traditional dressings not only require a lengthy medical procedure but also cause unbearable pain and secondary damage to patients. In this study, we developed an exudate-absorbing and antimicrobial hydrogel with a curcumin-loaded magnesium polyphenol network (Cur-Mg@PP) to promote burn wound healing. That hydrogel was composed of an ε-poly-l-lysine (ε-PLL)/polymer poly(γ-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA) hydrogel (PP) and curcumin-loaded magnesium polyphenol network (Cur-Mg). Because of the strong water absorption property of ε-PLL and γ-PGA, Cur-Mg@PP powder can quickly absorb the wound exudate and transform into a moist and viscous hydrogel, thus releasing payloads such as magnesium ion (Mg) and curcumin (Cur). The released Mg and Cur demonstrated good therapeutic efficacy on analgesic, antioxidant, anti-inflammation, angiogenesis, and tissue regeneration. Our findings provide a strategy for accelerating burn wound healing.
烧伤是全球最常见的创伤原因之一。减少深度烧伤创面的愈合时间一直是一个主要挑战。传统的敷料不仅需要漫长的医疗程序,而且会给患者带来难以忍受的疼痛和二次损伤。在这项研究中,我们开发了一种具有吸湿性和抗菌性的水凝胶,其中载有姜黄素的镁多酚网络(Cur-Mg@PP),以促进烧伤创面愈合。该水凝胶由 ε-聚赖氨酸(ε-PLL)/聚合物聚(γ-谷氨酸)(γ-PGA)水凝胶(PP)和载有姜黄素的镁多酚网络(Cur-Mg)组成。由于 ε-PLL 和 γ-PGA 具有很强的吸水性,Cur-Mg@PP 粉末可以迅速吸收伤口渗出液,并转化为湿润粘稠的水凝胶,从而释放出镁离子(Mg)和姜黄素(Cur)等有效成分。释放的 Mg 和 Cur 对镇痛、抗氧化、抗炎、血管生成和组织再生具有良好的治疗效果。我们的研究结果为加速烧伤创面愈合提供了一种策略。
