Skin damage, especially the extensive full-thickness wound, is seriously affecting people's daily life and health. Meanwhile, wound healing is always challenged by bacterial infection. In this study, for the purpose of developing a disinfectant wound dressing, we designed a novel multi-functional nanofiber mats via electrospinning combining chitosan derivations and stereocomplex crystallite (SC). The SC membrane of poly (lactic acid)/chitosan derivatives were prepared via warming at 80 °C for 1 h. The thermal and mechanical properties of the heated mats were strengthened owing to the formation of SC, which restricted the lactide chains mobility. In vivo wound healing test revealed that the SC mats have better wound repair ability than the control group with a wound healing rate of 100 % within 15 days. In a word, the biomass-based mats with enhanced thermal and mechanical properties, antibacterial effect and antioxidant activity, providing a potential multi-functional platform for designing of disinfectant wound dressings.

Purpose Of The Study: Open (incisional) biopsies have long been accepted as the gold standard in diagnosing bone and soft tissue tumors. However, the main disadvantage of this method is that it can lead to increased contamination, hematoma, infection, and pathological fracture. Compared to open biopsies, percutaneous core needle biopsies are less invasive, do not require hospitalization, have low costs and low complication rates, and there is no need for wound healing in cases that require radiotherapy.

Photothermal therapy (PTT) demonstrates significant potential in cancer treatment, wound healing, and antibacterial therapy, with its efficacy largely depending on the performance of photothermal agents (PTAs). Metal-phenolic network (MPN) materials are ideal PTA candidates due to their low cost, good biocompatibility and excellent ligand-to-metal charge transfer properties. However, not all MPNs exhibit significant photothermal properties, and the vast chemical space of MPNs (over 700,000 potential combinations) complicates the screening of high-photothermal materials.
