Article Abstract

Injectable hydrogels have been widely studied because of their high adaptability to bleeding wounds. However, due to the contradictory demands for hydrogel network before and after injection, it is still difficult to develop a hemostatic injectable hydrogel with sufficient mechanical properties and convenient operation, while the complex microenvironment of wounds also requires the hydrogel to have multibiological functions besides rapid hemostasis. In this work, a polyurethane (PU)-based hemostatic injectable hydrogel is designed and constructed by introducing a tetrahydroxy compound containing a Schiff base and a dihydroxy compound containing catechol into the network. Thereinto, the Schiff base provides pH responsiveness to realize the switch between the elastic state and viscous state of PU, which is injectable in acidic solution and stable in neutral solution, while the catechol exerts rapid hemostasis, self-healing, tissue adhesion, antibacterial, antioxidant, and promotion of wound healing in the form of side groups without taking part in the cross-linking. Based on these characteristics, the coexistence of mechanical strength, controllable injection, and multibiological functions is realized in a PU-based hydrogel successfully, which may provide a new perspective for the hemostatic injectable hydrogels.

Chitosan-based hydrogels have highly attractive potential for designing wound dressing production. To promote wound healing, it is admirable to develop three-dimensional (3D) multi-biological functional polyvinyl alcohol/carboxymethyl chitosan (PVA/CMC) hydrogel. A 3D biocompatible PVA/CMC hydrogel was prepared using a freeze-drying method under both sterile and unsterile conditions, without the use of a chemical cross-linker.

The study of biological age prediction using various biological data has been widely explored. However, single biological data may offer limited insights into the pathological process of aging and diseases. Here we evaluated the performance of machine learning models for biological age prediction by using the integrated features from multi-biological data of 140 healthy controls and 43 patients with schizophrenia, including brain MRI, gut microbiome, and blood data.

Non-compressible hemorrhage poses a severe threat to life globally, yet achieving effective hemostasis and facilitating tissue repair remain a significant challenge and desired requirement. Herein, the all-in-one extracellular matrix (ECM)-based powder, composed of modified small intestinal submucosa (SIS) and sodium alginate, was ingeniously designed to realize one-stop management for non-compressible hemorrhage. Specifically, upon contact bleeding site, the powder's extreme liquid absorption allows for the rapid removal of interfacial blood.

In order to solve the problem of insufficient design applicability in the field of lower limb rehabilitation, such as interaction, experience comfort, and modeling color, a biological excitation function system was used to guide the solution of the functional scheme of lower limb rehabilitation products, and the transformation of lower limb rehabilitation products in functional interaction, experience, and morphological color design driven by biological information-driven cross-domain mapping was improved. We used patent knowledge mining to study the product functional requirements of lower limb rehabilitation products. The results were used to screen the required biological prototypes, and the biological incentives were used to guide the design problems.
