In emergencies, uncontrolled severe bleeding can result in undesired complications and even death of the injured. Designing advanced hemostatic agents is a potential solution for emergency hemostasis, yet it remains challenging to realize the persistent adhesion in a wet wound environment. In this study, based on dynamic reversible Schiff base bond and photo-initiated double-bond polymerization, a novel injectable hemostatic hydrogel ( L -COC) consisting of methacrylated carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCSMA), oxidized konjac glucomannan (OKGM) and (+)-catechin hydrate (CH) was synthesized for emergency hemostasis. To our delight, the incorporated CH imparted enhanced blood procoagulantion to the L -COC hydrogel by intensifying the hydrogel-red blood cell interactions. As a result, the hemostatic effect of the engineered L -COC hydrogel was significantly superior to that of fluid gelatin Surgiflo TM for liver bleeding wounds in rats (Blood loss: 0.62 ± 0.11 g ( L -COC), 0.90 ± 0.08 g (Surgiflo TM ); hemostasis time: 69.0 ± 2.9 s ( L -COC), 84.0 ± 2.2 s (Surgiflo TM )). With the favorable antioxidant and antibacterial activities, as well as multifunctional properties, the bio-adhesive L -COC hydrogel and the underlying design principles may facilitate further development of practical hemostatic hydrogels.

Photoswitchable materials are important in broad applications. Recently appeared inorganic photoswitchable upconversion nanoparticles (PUCNPs) become a competitive candidate to surmount the widespread issue of the organic counterparts —photobleaching. However, current PUCNPs follow solely Yb3+/Nd3+ cosensitizing mode, which results in complex multilayer doping patterns and imperfectness of switching in UV–blue region. In this work, we have adopted a new strategy to construct Nd3+ free PUCNPs—NaErF4@NaYF4@NaYbF4:0.5%Tm@NaYF4. These PUCNPs demonstrate the superior property of photoswitching. A prominent UV–blue emission from Tm3+ is turned on upon 980 nm excitation, which can be completely turned off by 800 nm light. The quasi-monochromatic red upconversion emission upon 800 nm excitation—a distinct feature of undoping NaErF4 upconversion system—endows the PUCNPs with promising image-guided photoinduced “off–on” therapy in biomedicine. As a proof-of-concept we have demonstrated the imaging-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer, where 800 nm excitation turns off the UV–blue emission and leaves the emission at 660 nm for imaging. Once the tumor site is targeted, excitation switching to 980 nm results in UV–blue emission and the red emission. The former is used to induce PDT, whereas the latter is to monitor the therapeutic process. Our study implies that this upconversion photoswitching material is suitable for real-time imaging and image-guided therapy under temporal and spatial control.

The novel proteins, i.e., Clostridium autoethanogenum (CAP), Tenebrio molitor (TM), Chlorella vulgaris (ChM), and cottonseed protein concentrate (CSM), are promising food for the future aquaculture due to the limited fishmeal (FM) resources. However, in-depth investigations on the intestinal barriers of fish when fed novel proteins are sparse, and the association between intestinal flora and physiological biomarkers is still unknown. Five isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets comprising various proteins were developed, with fishmeal serving as the control and novel proteins as the experimental diets. Largemouth bass ( Micropterus salmoides ) with an initial body weight of 211.9 ± 1.2 g were used as experimental model and fed with these five diets for eight weeks. The findings from the current study indicated that the intestinal histological structure as well as immunochemistry barrier performance of the ChM, CAP, and TM groups were superior to those of the CSM and FM groups, despite the fact that the villi height of FM was the greatest of all groups. Similarly, the intestinal inflammatory response and the permeability were elevated in CSM while decreased in ChM, CAP, and TM group. Concerning the intestinal short fatty acids (SCFAs), the levels in the CAP as well as ChM group were greater than the other proteins. From the data analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequencing, the abundance of opportunistic pathogens including (Ralstonia , Acinetobacter , Aeromonas , and Protebacteria) were higher in CSM group while attenuated in ChM, CAP and TM group. In addition, the abundance of nine types of intestinal-barriers-repairing probiotics were elevated in all novel proteins compared with the fishmeal group. These altered microbiota were highly correlated with intestinal inflammatory response, antioxidant status, immunochemistry barrier, physical barrier and SCFAs indexes by Mantel test and Pearson's correlation analysis. Collectively, the ranking of the beneficial functions among these five proteins was ChM > CAP>TM > FM > CSM according to Z -score and this study provides in-depth data manifesting the effects of novel proteins on the gut health status of large-size largemouth bass.

Regenerative medicine in tissue engineering often relies on stem cells and specific growth factors at a supraphysiological dose. These approaches are costly and may cause severe side effects. Herein, therapeutic small extracellular vesicles (t-sEVs) endogenously loaded with a cocktail of human vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) and human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) mRNAs within a customized injectable PEGylated poly (glycerol sebacate) acrylate (PEGS-A) hydrogel for bone regeneration in rats with challenging femur critical-size defects are introduced. Abundant t-sEVs are produced by a facile cellular nanoelectroporation system based on a commercially available track-etched membrane (TM-nanoEP) to deliver plasmid DNAs to human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAdMSCs). Upregulated microRNAs associated with the therapeutic mRNAs are enriched in t-sEVs for enhanced angiogenic–osteogenic regeneration. Localized and controlled release of t-sEVs within the PEGS-A hydrogel leads to the retention of therapeutics in the defect site for highly efficient bone regeneration with minimal low accumulation in other organs.
