Eradication of osteomyelitis caused by bacterial infections is still a major challenge. Microwave therapy has the inherent advantage of deep penetration in curing deep tissue infections. However, the antibacterial efficiency of sensitizers is limited by the weak energy of microwaves. Here, a hybrid heterojunction system (FeO/CuS/Emo) is designed for curing bacterially infected osteomyelitis. As an enhanced microwave sensitizer, it shows supernormal microwave response ability. Specifically, FeO acts as a matrix to mediate magnetic loss. After CuS loading, the heterogeneous interface forms induce significant interfacial polarization, which increasing dielectric loss. On the basis of the heterojunction formed by the two semiconductors, emodin is innovatively introduced to modify it. This integration not only accelerates the movement of charge carriers but also enhances polarization loss due to the numerous functional groups present on the surface. This further optimizes the microwave thermal and catalytic response. In addition, the unique anti-inflammatory properties of emodin confer the ability of hybrid heterojunction to regulate the immune microenvironment. In vivo studies reveal that heterojunction modified by emodin programmed elimination of bacteria and regulation of the immune microenvironment. It offers a revolutionary approach to the treatment of bacterial osteomyelitis.
根除由细菌感染引起的骨髓炎仍然是一项重大挑战。微波疗法在治疗深部组织感染方面具有深层穿透的固有优势。然而,敏化剂的抗菌效率受到微波能量较弱的限制。在此,设计了一种混合异质结系统(FeO/CuS/大黄素)用于治疗细菌感染性骨髓炎。作为一种增强型微波敏化剂,它表现出超常的微波响应能力。具体而言,FeO作为基质介导磁损耗。负载CuS后,形成的异质界面诱导显著的界面极化,从而增加介电损耗。在两种半导体形成的异质结基础上,创新性地引入大黄素对其进行改性。这种整合不仅加速了载流子的移动,还由于表面存在的众多官能团增强了极化损耗。这进一步优化了微波热响应和催化响应。此外,大黄素独特的抗炎特性赋予了混合异质结调节免疫微环境的能力。体内研究表明,经大黄素改性的异质结可程序性清除细菌并调节免疫微环境。它为细菌性骨髓炎的治疗提供了一种革命性的方法。
