Article Abstract
The physical chitosan hydrogel, obtained by ionic gelation in lactic acid solution, was combined with biocompatible oil-in-water microemulsion with ibuprofen, to prepare composite hydrogels with 0.25-1% of the polymer and 5% of the drug. The electrical conductivity measurement, photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS), and rheological analysis showed that the composite hydrogels comprise oil nanodroplets (16.21-22.56 nm) embedded within pseudoplastic chitosan hydrogel. ibuprofen release was sustained for 12 h and followed zero-order kinetics. pH values of the composite hydrogels were in the range of 4.80-5.27, thus physiologically acceptable. The formulation containing 0.5% chitosan enabled the maximum drug release rate of 239.25 μghcm as well as cohesiveness (154.958 ± 0.731 g*s) higher than hardness (13.546 ± 0.065 g) and adhesiveness (-12.042 ± 1.161 g*s), so textural properties were suitable for application along skin surface, without spillage, and for easy removal. This is the first study in which the composite chitosan hydrogels with ibuprofen were formulated by combining the chitosan hydrogel prepared without harmful chemical crosslinkers and low viscosity oil-in-water microemulsion, and the preclinical characterization of their biopharmaceutical aspect and textural characterization, that is of key importance in improving the patient's compliance, were performed.

This study aims to optimize the process for preparing chitosan-based ultrasound-coupled hydrogel pads and investigate their application potential in ultrasonography. Chitosan, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, and N-isopropylacrylamide were used as the main materials to prepare chitosan-based ultrasound-coupled hydrogel pads. The free-radical polymerization conditions were optimized by a three-factor, three-level orthogonal test with the tensile strength and ultrasound image quality of the hydrogel pads as evaluation indicators.

Burn injuries often cause prolonged oxidative stress and inflammatory pain due to an initial increase in inflammatory responses, consequently exacerbating depressive disorders and severely impairing patients' quality of life. The primary function of traditional burn dressings is to prevent infection and facilitate tissue repair. However, these dressings are not intended for the inflammatory pain and depression that often occur during recovery.

Traditional microneedle (MN) technology offers unique advantages in treating wound infections; however, its single-function design lacks the capability for real-time monitoring of wound conditions, often resulting in uncontrolled drug release. Herein, an anti-infective and intelligent MN patch (SP-CSMN) integrating three functional modules is developed, including temperature monitoring, Bluetooth wireless communication, and responsive drug release. The patch employed chitosan (CS) as a porous substrate, filled with temperature-sensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) to encapsulate and release the antibiotic rifampicin.

Adhesive hydrogels have been widely studied as wound dressings due to their excellent biocompatibility and biological activity. However, most designed hydrogels still exist limitations including potentially toxic monomer, complex preparation process and non-degradable property. Here, a natural and degradable gelatin/casein hydrogel was prepared by enzymatic cross-linking.

Although hemostatic powders are commonly used in clinical and emergency settings, they frequently show poor absorption, raise cytotoxicity issues, and are not effective for fatal non-compressible bleeding. The purpose of this research is to create a self-gelling hemostatic powder based on chitosan, bentonite, and sodium polyacrylate (CBS) to improve the hemostatic effect. When liquid comes into contact with CBS powders, they can fuse and form a stable hydrogel in less than 30s.
