Recently, injectable dual-crosslinked (DC) hydrogel scaffolds have attracted many attentions as a class of excellent bone regeneration biomaterials with in-situ tunable functions. However, the design of injectable DC hydrogels with cell behavior-compatible network structure and mechanical property remains a bottleneck. Herein, based on the in-situ gelling method, we constructed an injectable CMCS/PEG+SA/CaCl 2 (CPSC) chemical/physical DC hydrogel scaffold with tunable softness/hardness mechanical properties and good biocompatibility. The formation mechanism and properties of the CPSC hydrogel scaffold were investigated by FTIR , XRD, rheometry, and mechanical testing. It is found that proper softness/hardness mechanical properties can be obtained by adjusting the secondary network structure of the hydrogel. The CPSC hydrogel scaffold prepared under optimal conditions can effectively promote cell infiltration , nutrient transport, and the osteogenic differentiation of rat bone mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs). The in vivo experiments show that the rBMSCs-loaded injectable CPSC hydrogels with appropriate mechanical properties can effectively promote bone reconstruction . This study has provided important guidance for the construction of injectable DC hydrogels with adjustable softness/hardness to promote osteogenesis for bone defect repair.

Given the widespread clinical demand, addressing irregular cranial bone defects poses a significant challenge following surgical procedures and traumatic events. In situ-formed injectable hydrogels are attractive for irregular bone defects due to their ease of administration and the ability to incorporate ceramics, ions, and proteins into the hydrogel. In this study, a multifunctional hydrogel composed of oxidized sodium alginate (OSA)-grafted dopamine (DO), carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), calcium ions (Ca2+), nanohydroxyapatite (nHA), and magnesium oxide (MgO) (DOCMCHM) was prepared to address irregular cranial bone defects via dynamic Schiff base and chelation reactions. DOCMCHM hydrogel exhibits strong adhesion to wet tissues, self-healing properties, and antibacterial characteristics. Biological evaluations indicate that DOCMCHM hydrogel has good biocompatibility, in vivo degradability, and the ability to promote cell proliferation. Importantly, DOCMCHM hydrogel, containing MgO, promotes the expression of osteogenic protein markers COL-1, OCN, and RUNX2, and stimulates the formation of new blood vessels by upregulating CD31. This study could provide meaningful insights into ion therapy for the repair of cranial bone defects.

Femur fracture becomes increasingly common due to global population aging. Intramedullary nailing, a widely used treatment for fractures, tends to damage the blood vessels in the bone marrow cavity, which causes substantial hidden bleedings. The application of hydrogels to intramedullary nail hemostasis is limited by the challenges in balancing the adhesion, mechanical strength, and toughness. Inspired by the multi-network structure of snail mucus, which offers strong adhesion in harsh environments via adaptive wet-state contact followed by tight fitting upon dehydration, we developed a dual-network carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS)-gluconic acid δ-lactone (GDL)-Ca 2+ /polyacrylamide (PAM) (CGC/P) hydrogel. The integration of GDL with CMCS introduces hydroxyl groups to enhance the adhesion of hydrogel and regulated system pH to facilitate the formation of the dynamic CMCS-GDL-Ca 2+ physical crosslinking network. The chemically crosslinked PAM network further improves the strength and toughness of the hydrogel. As the adhesion strength of the hydrogel can be increased by up to 50.14 times upon dehydration, a stretch-winding and dehydration method is developed to coat intramedullary nails with controllable thickness, effective hemostatic properties, excellent mechanical and adhesion characteristics. In rabbit femoral intramedullary nailing surgery, this system achieves rapid hemostasis and greatly promotes osteogenesis. Our study simultaneously improves the performance regulation contradiction of hydrogel coating, providing a crucial support to promote the application of hemostatic coatings to implantations.
