Abstract

The current clinical treatment of diabetic wounds is still based on oxygen therapy, and the slow healing of skin wounds due to hypoxia has always been a key problem in the repair of chronic skin injuries. To overcome this problem, the oxygen-producing matrix CaO2NPS based on the temperature-sensitive dihydromyricetin-loaded hydrogel was prepared. In vitro activity showed that the dihydromyricetin (DHM) oxygen-releasing temperature-sensitive hydrogel composite (DHM-OTH) not only provided a suitable oxygen environment for cells around the wound to survive but also had good biocompatibility and various biological activities. By constructing a T2D wound model, we further investigated the repairing effect of DHM-OTH on chronic diabetic skin wounds and the mechanisms involved. DHM-OTH was able to reduce inflammatory cells and collagen deposition and promote angiogenesis and cell proliferation for diabetic wound healing. These in vitro and in vivo data suggest that DHM-OTH accelerates diabetic wound repair as a novel method to efficiently deliver oxygen to wound tissue, providing a promising strategy to improve diabetic wound healing.
