Abstract
A kind of “intelligent” antibacterial dressing–A-HA/HA-ADH/SS hydrogel was in situ formed quickly via dynamic covalent bonds cross-linking between aldehyde hyaluronic acid (A-HA), adipic acid dihydrazide graft hyaluronic acid (HA-ADH) and sisomicin sulfate (SS). FT-IR, SEM and rheological results displayed that the hydrogels were successfully prepared. The hydrogels had good optical transmittance, injectability, self-healing ability, cytocompatibility, antioxidant activity and hemostatic performance which were beneficial to observe the wound healing condition and provide a good healing environment for wounds. In addition, the hydrogels showed a pH- and HAase- dependent degradability, which allowed them to release more SS at infected wound and then exert on-demand and sustained antibacterial effect against S. aureus and E. coli. The results of wound healing and histological examination revealed that these hydrogels have a good therapeutic effect in the full-thickness mouse skin defect wound. Thus, the hydrogels are expected to be used as potential wound dressings to improve wound healing.
