Uncontrollable bleeding caused by accidental severe trauma and organ operation severely affects people's life safety, even leading to death. Therefore, it is important to cease the bleeding quickly and effectively. Here, we report a rapid photocrosslinking hydrogel (DP-F127 hydrogel) based on F127 and acrylate functional motifs for in situ emergency hemostasis. The acrylate groups in DP-F127 can be cross-linked within 10 s by UV irradiation. The resulted hydrogels exhibit excellent mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and rapid hemostatic ability. The in vivo studies on the DP-F127 hydrogel demonstrated that liver bleeding could be rapidly repaired and show significantly less blood loss than commercially available dressing (Gelatin sponge, GS). This study provides a new paradigm for developing a hemostatic hydrogel with the rapid speed of crosslinking for in situ emergency hemostasis.
Stanching severe traumatic bleeding requires hemostatic materials that can provide rapid and efficient hemostasis. However, most currently available hemostatic agents exhibit low efficiency and poor biocompatibility. In this study, a novel carboxymethyl chitosan modified with methacrylic anhydride (double-bonded carboxymethyl chitosan)/cysteamine-modified chondroitin sulfate (Me-CMC/CSS) rapid hemostatic dressing was developed using thiol-ene click chemistry. The freeze-dried Me-CMC/CSS dressings absorbed water rapidly and transformed into soft hydrogels that could seal wounds, achieving good hemostasis. The relative blood clotting index of the optimal Me-CMC/CSS dressing was decreased by 53% ( p < 0.001) and 29% compared with a pure Me-CMC dressing and a commercial hemostatic gelatin sponge, respectively. In a rat liver hemorrhage model, the Me-CMC/CSS dressing stopped bleeding rapidly, and the total blood loss was significantly decreased by 92% ( p < 0.0001) compared with the untreated group and was lower than that with gelatin sponge treatment. The Me-CMC/CSS dressing also exhibited a higher ability to adhere to platelets than the gelatin sponge. Furthermore, the Me-CMC/CSS dressing exhibited good hemocompatibility and cytocompatibility. The results indicate that the composite dressings can be potentially applied as rapid hemostatic materials.
During trauma and surgery, bleeding is a major concern. One of the crucial strategies for hemostasis is the use of biological hemostatic material. Herein, we reported an amino acid-based hydrogel FmocF-ADP hydrogel, which consisted of N-[(9H-fluoren-9-ylmethoxy) carbonyl]-3-phenyl-L-alanine (FmocF) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) sodium solution. The hydrogel was created by FmocF self-assembling to nanofiber in ADP sodium solution and then cross-linking to hydrogel. FmocF-ADP hydrogel showed good in vitro coagulation activity as measured by whole blood clotting assays, platelet clotting assays, platelet activation assays, and platelet adhesion assays. Further, it was noted to reveal an exceptional in vivo hemostatic effect in a mouse liver bleeding model. Together with the previous report of the good biocompatibility and antimicrobial activity of FmocF hydrogel, our study would extend the biomedical application of FmocF hydrogel. In conclusion, the present study would provide a constructive strategy for the development of new antimicrobial and hemostatic materials or develop a potential hemostatic material.
