Diabetic chronic wounds or amputation, which are complications of diabetes mellitus (DM), are a cause of great suffering for diabetics. In addition to the lack of oxygen, elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduced vascularization, microbial invasion is also a critical factor that induces non-healing chronic diabetic wounds, ie, wounds still remaining in the stage of inflammation, after which the wound tissue begins to age and becomes necrotic. To clear up the infection, alleviate the inflammation in the wound and prevent necrosis, many kinds of hydrogel have been fabricated to eliminate infections with pathogens. The unique properties of hydrogels make them ideally suited to wound dressings because they provide a moist environment for wound healing and act as a barrier against bacteria. This review article will mainly cover the recent developments and innovations of antibacterial hydrogels for diabetic chronic wound healing.

Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have gained prominence for their efficacy in treating type 2 diabetes and obesity. Recent evidence suggests that their pleiotropic effects-beyond glycemic control and weight loss-include anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and antioxidative effects, which may beneficially support various dermatologic conditions such as psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, acanthosis nigricans, and Hailey-Hailey disease. However, GLP-1 RAs are also associated with emerging cutaneous adverse drug reactions, including bullous, exanthematous and vasculitic manifestations, and other rare side effects.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of death globally, responsible for 32% of all fatalities. They significantly reduce quality of life and life expectancy, while imposing a substantial economic burden on healthcare systems in different countries. High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a location-dependent multifunctional protein, plays a significant role in various cell death pathways associated with CVDs.

To evaluated the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) in improving laryngeal mucosal wound scar healing in vivo and investigated its underlying mechanisms. Laryngeal mucosal wounds were induced in Sprague-Dawley rats. Two weeks post-injury, PDT was administered via intraperitoneal injection of 100 mg/kg 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) and 635-nm red laser irradiation at varying energy doses (15, 30, and 45 J/cm²).

Anal fissure causes pain and bleeding during or after bowel movements, significantly impacting individuals' quality of life. Current treatments aim to interrupt this cycle but have associated risks and limitations. The emergence of arginine, crucial for protein creation and nitric oxide (NO) production, presents an intriguing therapeutic avenue by the impact on reducing anal sphincter pressure and enhancing anoderm blood flow, due to its roles in vasodilation, anti-inflammatory responses, and collagen synthesis, which can promote wound healing and highlighting its potential as an alternative therapy.

Wounds with extensive tissue damage are highly susceptible for microbial infections delaying the process of wound healing. Currently, biomaterials with therapeutic molecules emerged as key players in wound repairing. This work developed a novel collagen-based hydrogel loaded with allicin and silver nanoparticles.
