Gold nanoplates exhibit 68.5% photothermal conversion efficiency and peroxidase-like activity, and AuNPTs (50 μg mL−1)/H2O2 (0.1 mM)/NIR (1 W cm−2, 3 min) show excellent synergistic antibacterial ability and promote MRSA-infected wound healing in vivo.

Surgical site infection (SSI) substantially contributes each year to patients’ morbidity and mortality, accounting for about 15% of all nosocomial infections. SSI drastically increases the rehab stint and expenses while jeopardizing health outcomes. Besides prevention, the treatment regime relies on an adequate antibiotic therapy. On the other hand, resistant bacterial strains have currently reached up to 34.3% of the total infections, and this percentage grows annually, reducing the efficacy of the common treatment schemes. Thus, new antibacterial strategies are urgently demanded. Here, we demonstrated in rats the effectiveness of non-persistent silver nano-architectures (AgNAs) in infected wound healing together with their synergistic action in combination with chlorhexidine. Besides the in vivo efficacy evaluation, we performed analysis of the bacteriological profile of purulent wound, histological evaluations, and macrophages polarization quantifications to further validate our findings and elucidate the possible mechanisms of AgNAs action on wound healing. These findings open the way for the composition of robust multifunctional nanoplatforms for the translation of safe and efficient topical treatments of SSI.

AbstractObjectivesThe purpose of our research was to examine the effects of Minocycline combined hyaluronic acid (HA)-mediated Ultrasound therapy of infected wound in wister rats.Methods40 female wister rats were made wound on the two side of the backbone, then infected in Staphylococcus aureus at the comic for three times. then, they are divided into four groups: control group, minocycline combined HA alone, ultasound alone, minocycline combined HA-mediated ultasound group, respective. After 3 times of treatments, the rats were killed and made into specimens. Assessments consisted of visual inspection in the change of the skin, scar formation pathological morphology by hematoxylin and eosin(HE) stain with optical microscopy, IL-1B assaying and TNF-a were performed.ResultCompared with control group, minocycline combined HA alone, ultasound alone, minocycline combined HA-mediated ultasound group all have effect for wound healing, there was a obvious improvement in all parameters over the duration of the experiment(P<0.05). Compared with the control group, minocycline combined HA-mediated ultasound group indicated less inflammation cells (P<0.001) and the reduce of and IL-1B and TNF-a (P<0.001).ConclusionMinocycline combined HA-mediated ultrasound can accelerate tissue regrowth, which exert significant benefits in healing the wounds.

Abstract Background Skin injury and the resultant defects are common clinical problems, and usually lead to chronic skin ulcers and even life-threatening diseases. Copper, an essential trace element of human body, has been reported to promote the regeneration of skin by stimulating proliferation of endothelial cell and enhance angiogenesis. Results Herein, we have prepared a new donut-like metal–organic frameworks (MOF) of copper-nicotinic acid (CuNA) by a simple solvothermal reaction. The rough surface of CuNA is beneficial for loading/release basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). The CuNAs with/without bFGF are easily processed into a light-responsive composite hydrogel with GelMA, which not only show excellent mechanical properties, but also display superior biocompatibility, antibacterial ability and bioactivity. Moreover, in the in vivo full-thickness defect model of skin wound, the resultant CuNA-bFGF@GelMA hydrogels significantly accelerate the wound healing, by simultaneously inhibiting the inflammatory response, promoting the new blood vessels formation and the deposition of collagen and elastic fibers. Conclusions Considering the superior biocompatibility, antibacterial ability and bioactivity, the CuNA and its composite light-responsive hydrogel system will be promising in the applications of skin and even other tissue regeneration.
