Uncontrollable bleeding is the main cause of death in wars and accidents. The development of emergency material for rapid hemostatic can effectively reduce bleeding-related death. The commercial hemostatic materials available in the market are difficult to meet requirements of rapid hemostasis, good biocompatibility, low cost and ease of use. In this study, we developed chitosan/dopamine/diatom-biosilica composite beads (CDDs) for rapid hemostasis with good biocompatibility. CDDs were prepared by combining chitosan with diatom-biosilica (DB) using dopamine as bio-glue. The porous internal structure of CDDs led to rapid and large amount of water absorption, which contributed to the rapid hemostasis (83 s, 22% of the control group). The hemolytic rate of CDDs was less than 5% and cell viability was above 80%, confirming its good biocompatibility. All the above results indicated that CDDs had potential to develop into safe and non-toxic hemostatic material.

Rapid control of hemorrhage is vital in first-aid and surgery. As representative of emergency hemostatic materials, inorganic porous materials achieve rapid hemostasis through concentrating protein coagulation factors by water adsorption to accelerate the coagulation reaction process, however their efficacy is often limited by the insufficient contact of material with blood and the lack of blood clot strength. Herein, we report an ultrafast dispersing and in situ gelation sponge (SG/DB) based on anchoring interface effect for hemorrhage control using freeze drying method after mixing fish scale gel (SG) and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) pre-crystallized diatom biosilica (DB).

The weak cohesive strength of tissue adhesives hinders their practical applications. To overcome this challenge, we develop a green bio-adhesive that balances both cohesion and adhesion, drawing inspiration from the natural adhesion mechanisms of mussels. This bio-adhesive, referred to as OTS, was ingeniously crafted through the co-assembly of multi-surface-charged chitin nanofibers (OAChN) and tannic acid (TA), integrated with silk fibroin (SF), resulting in a material with enhanced cohesive strength and robust adhesive properties.

Severe traumatic bleeding and chronic diabetic wounds require rapid hemostasis and multifunctional dressings, which remain particularly challenging, especially for non-compressible trauma and irregular wounds with dysregulated microenvironments. Chitosan (CS) can be easily cross-linked with genipin to form GpCS hydrogels. However, developing injectable GpCS hydrogels for biomedical applications faces challenges, particularly in enhancing rapid gel formation and optimizing physical properties.

Powder-based hemostatic materials have offered unprecedented opportunities for the effective sealing and repair of irregularly shaped wounds and high-pressure, noncompressible arterial bleeding wounds caused by surgeries, traffic accidents, and wartime injuries. However, inadequate adhesion to bleeding wounds and poor hemostasis in biological tissues remains challenging. Herein, we report a self-gelling hemostatic powder based on polyacrylic acid/polyethyleneimine/polyethylene glycol (named PPG) for rapid hemostasis and effective antibacterial ability.

Advances in imaging, pharmacological, and procedural technologies have rapidly expanded the care of pulmonary embolism. Earlier, more accurate identification and quantification has enhanced risk stratification across the spectrum of the disease process, with a number of clinical tools available to prognosticate outcomes and guide treatment. Direct oral anticoagulants have enabled a consistent and more convenient long-term therapeutic option, with a greater shift toward outpatient treatment for a select group of low-risk patients.
