This work targeted to investigate the potential of thermo-responsive hydroxybutyl chitosan (HBC) hydrogel using as an embolic material for occlusion of selective blood vessels. HBC hydrogel was prepared via an etherification reaction between chitosan (CS) and 1, 2-butene oxide. The hydroxybutyl groups were introduced into CS backbone, which endowed HBC hydrogel with properties of porous structure, favorable hydrophilia and rapid sol-gel interconvertibility. The gelation temperatures and gelation time respectively decreased from 30.7°C to 11.5°C and 79.60±3.19s to 7.70±1.42s at 37°C, with HBC solutions viscoelasticity increased from 3.0% to 7.0%. HBC hydrogel exhibited noncytotoxic to mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) and excellent hemocompatibility with red blood cells (RBCs). After injection HBC solution into rat renal arteries, HBC solution transformed into hydrogel and attached onto blood vessel inner wall tightly, giving immediate blood vessels embolization. Meanwhile, RBCs could aggregate around HBC hydrogel to form moderate coagulation, which was beneficial to avoid hydrogel migration with blood flow. Above results suggested that HBC hydrogel could be applied as a promising embolic agent for hemorrage in the interventional vascular embolization field.

Hydroxybutyl chitosan (HBC), a derivative of chitosan, exhibits biocompatibility and temperature-sensitive properties, rendering it utilized in tissue engineering, and biomedical science. Currently, HBC is mainly prepared based on heterogeneous and homogeneous reactions. However, the impact of reactions on structure of derivatives and their mechanisms for self-assembly remains to be elucidated.

Full bio-degradation of super absorbent hydrogels (SAHs), which possess excellent water uptake capacity, is still challenging. Based on Flory theory, this paper first analyzes that the high swelling property and gel strength of SHAs are attributed to the length of effective chain of crosslinker. Firstly, a series of hyperbranched crosslinker (HBC) with different molecular weights were designed and synthesized by anionic polymerization and sodium lignosulfonate (SL), which owns a hydrophilic network and remarkable biodegradation properties, was selected as a monomer.

Article Synopsis
- - Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is effective for treating polyps and early GI cancers but requires skilled operators; injecting materials into the submucosa can improve outcomes by creating a cushion.
- - Current submucosal injection materials often spread quickly and do not provide long-lasting support, highlighting the need for a more durable alternative.
- - Researchers developed a new material called succinylated hydroxybutyl chitosan (HBC-SA), which has better lifting properties and biocompatibility than traditional materials, making it a promising option for use during ESD.

Burns are the fourth most common type of civilian trauma worldwide, and the management of severe irregular scald wounds remains a significant challenge. Herein, crocin-1 laden hydroxybutyl chitosan (CRO-HBC) thermosensitive hydrogel with smart anti-inflammatory performance was developed for accelerating full-thickness burn healing. The injectable and shape adaptability of the CRO-HBC gel make it a promising candidate for effectively filling scald wounds with irregular shapes, while simultaneously providing protection against external pathogens.
