Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most devastating acute diseases. Zn 2+ has been verified plays a crucial role in SCI repair, however, how to continuously release zinc ions at the lesion site is still a cutting-edge challenge. Therefore, it is urgent to design a novel nanoplatform for promoting SCI repair with multifunction of controlled release of Zn 2+ and regulating ROS microenvironment of mitochondrion. Herein, we propose a protocol of preparing NIR sensitive ZnO quantum dots (QDs) decorated MXene hydrogel for SCI repair. TEM and EDS mapping showed that the ZnO QDs were uniformly distributed on the Mxene nanosheets. Catalase (CAT) analysis showed that the ZnO-Ti 3 C 2 nano enzymes could effectively scavenge ROS. Molecular biology studies showed that ZnO-Ti 3 C 2 @H repaired mitochondrial function by scavenging ROS with a clearance rate of up to 80 %. Neuronal apoptosis was subsequently reduced, and nerves and blood vessels were regenerated. NIR irradiation warmed the injury site to 42.9 °C, which enabled rapid enrichment of Zn 2+ at the lesion site. Footprinting and pathology experiments have shown that it improves functional recovery after injury and results in near-normal BMS scores. These results suggest that this multifunctional type of material incorporating NIR controlled release of Zn 2+ provides a promising strategy for promoting SCI repair.

Slow healing of wounds induces great pain in diabetic patients. However, developing new approaches to promote diabetic wound healing is still one of the toughest challenges in the medical field. Here, we constructed a new double-layer hydrogel to effectively regulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) on the wound and promote diabetic wound healing. The inner layer contains glucose oxidase (Gox), ferrocene-modified quaternary ammonium chitosan (Fc-QCs), and poly(β-cyclodextrin) (Pβ-CD), which is used to generate hydroxyl radicals (•OH) for antibacterial in the early stage of wound healing and collapses gradually. The outer layer is composed of gelatin and dopamine. In the later stage of wound healing, the outer layer contacts the skin, which is beneficial for ROS clearance on the wound. Antibacterial, ROS scavenging, and wound healing experiments have shown that the double-layer hydrogel possesses two-stage ROS regulating properties for programmed diabetic wound healing. In conclusion, it will be one of the most potential dressings for treating diabetic wounds in the future.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are favorable for antibacterial infection but their overproduction results in serious inflammatory response and aggravates the hypoxic state of the wound tissue, which is detrimental to healing stages of proliferation and remodeling. Here, an atomic-dispersion Fe-doped oxygen-deficient molybdenum oxide MoO 3− X (ADFM) bifunctional nanozyme, featuring implanted peroxidase-like and enhanced catalase-like activity, is developed for decomposing H 2 O 2 into strongly oxidizing hydroxyl radicals (•OH) for prevention of bacterial infection and into plentiful O 2 for healing stages. Therein, the introduction of Fe into MoO 3− X primarily produces an asymmetric electron density difference by elongating the bond length between metal atoms, synchronously stabilizing adsorption of •OH and weakening the adsorption of O 2 . ADFM also shows unimaginably high aqueous dispersity and pH-adaptive ROS regulation in the wound microenvironment, both of which are favorable for ADFM to fully exert enzyme-like activity for timely antibacterial and efficient wound-healing action. ADFM thus achieves efficient healing of drug-resistant bacteria-infected wounds in vivo, at an ultralow dosage of 30 µg mL −1 against 10 6 CFU mL −1 extended spectrum β -lactamases-producing Escherichia coli , exhibiting a wound-healing efficiency of ≈10 mm 2 per day, which sets a benchmark among these noble-metal-free nanozyme-based wound-healing agents.

ROS-based tumor therapy based on nanocatalytic medicine has recently been proposed for its tumor-specificity. However, a safe and highly efficient strategy towards getting high enough ROS to kill the hypoxic cancer cells is still a great challenge. Herein, we report a simple pH/H 2 O 2 -activatable, O 2 -evolving, and ROS regulating doxorubicin (DOX) and indocyanine green (ICG) co-loading PEGylated polyaniline (PANI) coated CeOx@polyacrylic acid (PAA) nanoclusters for highly selective and optimized cancer combination treatment. It can selectively and greatly enhance intracellular O 2 and ROS levels in tumor region, which depends on two-step catalytic properties of nanoceria (Ce 4+ /Ce 3+ = 3.46, neutral surface charge, mostly localize into the cytoplasm, pH 7.4–6.5, catalase-like catalytic agents convert to Ce 4+ /Ce 3+ = 0.58, negative surface charge, mostly localize into the lysosomes, pH 5–4, oxidase-like catalytic agents, triggered by near infrared (NIR) laser irradiation). Furthermore, the protective effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG), PANI, and PAA ensure that the nanoceria can only play the role of catalase under the irradiation of NIR light arrived at the tumor area. Moreover, loading of nanoceria and ICG onto PANI greatly enhanced photo thermal effect of nanoparticles (NPs), which is useful for killing cancer cells by relieving hypoxia and promoting cross-membrane drug delivery to further enhance photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy efficiency. The chemo-photo combination therapies fantastically inhibited tumor growth and prevented tumor recurrence in vivo , suggesting a smart nanotheranostic system to achieve more precise and effective therapies in O 2 -deprived tumor tissue.
