The aim of this study was to create heparin-like chitosan hydrogels (HLCHs) for blood purification. Herein, we prepared two heparin-like chitosans (HLCSs) with various carboxymethyl and sulfate groups, followed by a cross-linking reaction with glutaraldehyde. The synthetic chitosan derivatives were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography, FTIR and NMR. The average sulfonation degrees of two HLCSs were 0.69 and 0.94 per sugar unit, respectively. The swelling ratio of the HLCH could reach up to 4800%, and the HLCHs remained a well-defined shape and stable below 170 °C. Moreover, the activated partial thromboplastin time and thrombin time results indicated that both of the HLCSs and their hydrogels exhibited excellent thrombus inhibition property. Furthermore, the contact activation and complement activation results also proved that the hydrogels possessed good blood compatibility and had the potential to be used as blood-contacting materials.

Ischemic wounds are chronic wounds with poor blood supply that delays wound reconstruction. To accelerate wound healing and promote angiogenesis, adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are ideal seed cells for stem cell-based therapies. Nevertheless, providing a favorable environment for cell proliferation and metabolism poses a substantial challenge.

In this study, heparin-like polysaccharides were successfully produced by sulfation of carboxymethylcellulose sodium, then a fully biobased bilayer composed of sulfated carboxymethylcellulose sodium (SCMC) and chitosan (CS) was composited on the surface of Poly (L-lactic acid) (PLA) through layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly for the potential blood-contact application such as bioresorbable vascular scaffold. The preliminary structure and bioactivity of SCMC with different degree of sulfation were investigated, and the SCMC with best performance was selected. The surface chemical compositions, morphologies and wettability of SCMC/CS multilayer-modified PLA films were researched by X-ray photoelectron spectrometer, scanning electron microscopy and water contact angle meter.

A novel modified polysulfone (PSF) is successfully prepared for hemodialysis by grafting with a well-defined heparin-like polymer, sulfonated dihydroxypropyl chitosan (SDHPCS), which is obtained in proper sequence via alkalization of chitosan, etherification and sulfonation. PSF is modified via chloroacetyl chloride, and then, the chloroacylated polysulfone (CAPSF) with pristine PSF is transformed into CAPSF/PSF blend membrane via the phase inversion, followed introducing amino group into CAPSF on the surface and taking glutaraldehyde as bridge between modified PSF membrane and SDHPCS. The result of H NMR spectrum of prepared CAPSF indicates that the degree of the substitution of chloroacetyl group.

Hydrogel thin films (HTFs), which have multiple functions including hemocompatibility and ability of enhancing growth of endothelia cells (ECs) while suppressing proliferation of smooth muscle cells (SMCs), have garnered intense scientific interest due to their potential applications in the field of blood-contact materials. In the present study, we developed stable, multifunctional HTFs containing multiple functional groups (-SONa, -COONa, -OH, and -NH) by layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly of a modified sulfonated sodium alginate (SSA) and chitosan (CS), followed by ascidian-inspired post-cross-linking. The prepared HTFs with a 3D porous structure, as revealed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), maintained outstanding long-term stability.
