Periodontal tissue regeneration continues to face significant clinical challenges. Periodontitis leads to alveolar bone resorption and even tooth loss due to persistent microbial infection and persistent inflammatory response. As a promising topical drug delivery system, the application of hydrogels in the controlled release of periodontal bioactive drugs has aroused great interest. Therefore, the design and preparation of an injectable hydrogel with self-repairing properties for periodontitis treatment is still in great demand. In this study, polysaccharide-based self-healing hydrogels with antimicrobial osteogenic properties were developed. Zinc ions are introduced into a dynamic cross-linking network formed by dynamic Schiff bases between carboxymethyl chitosan and oxidized hyaluronic acid coordination bonds. The OC-Zn hydrogels exhibited good tissue adhesion, good fatigue resistance, excellent self-healing ability, low cytotoxicity, good broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, and osteogenic activity. Therefore, the designed hydrogels allow the development of drug delivery systems as a potential treatment for periodontitis.
牙周组织再生仍然面临重大的临床挑战。由于持续的微生物感染和持续的炎症反应,牙周炎会导致牙槽骨吸收甚至牙齿脱落。作为一种有前景的局部给药系统,水凝胶在牙周生物活性药物控释中的应用引起了极大的兴趣。因此,设计和制备一种具有自我修复特性的可注射水凝胶用于治疗牙周炎的需求仍然很大。在本研究中,开发了具有抗菌成骨特性的多糖基自愈合水凝胶。锌离子被引入到由羧甲基壳聚糖和氧化透明质酸之间的动态席夫碱形成的动态交联网络中 配位键。OC-Zn水凝胶表现出良好的组织粘附性、良好的抗疲劳性、优异的自我修复能力、低细胞毒性、良好的广谱抗菌活性和成骨活性。因此,所设计的水凝胶允许开发药物递送系统作为牙周炎的潜在治疗方法。
