Antioxidant and antimicrobial wound dressings are the most favorable for acute and chronic wounds treatment. Herein, we formulated a multifunctional polyelectrolyte wound dressing membrane on the basis of chitosan (Ch) and hyaluronan (HA) enhanced by phosphatidylcholine dihydroquercetin (PCDQ). Physicochemical properties and microstructures of fabricated films were investigated adopting Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Furthermore, water uptakes, wettability profiles, surface roughness, and mechanical characteristics of the developed membranes were studied. The developed wound dressing revealed free radical scavenging potency, hemocompatibility with a tendency to enhance blood clotting. Furthermore, incorporation of PCDQ significantly promoted the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities of Ch/HA/PCDQ. Moreover, Ch/HA/PCDQ films exhibited cellular compatibility towards mouse fibroblast cells. The capability of Ch/HA/PCDQ to promote wound healing was evaluated using adult Wistar albino female rats. The in vivo findings demonstrated that Ch/HA/PCDQ films significantly ameliorated mouse full-thickness wounds as evidenced by a reduction in the wound area. Moreover, histological examinations of wounds dressed with Ch/HA/PCDQ illustrated a prominent re-epithelialization compared with wounds handled with the cotton gauze and Ch/HA dressings, exposing the efficiency of PCDQ. These findings emphasized that a Ch/HA/PCDQ membrane has outstanding potential for wound healing and skin regeneration.

In this work, microalgae-based zinc oxide nanoparticles loaded with electrospun polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/sodium alginate (SA) nanofibers were fabricated by electro-spinner. PVA/SA fibrous mats were crosslinked by citric acid, which enhanced their thermal stability and swelling behavior. Green-synthesized ZnO NPs were laboratory synthesized and characterized by FTIR, XRD, EDX, SEM, TEM and TGA analyses.

Wound care presents an imposed financial burden for healthcare organizations, prompting the need for novel and cost-efficient dressings. In this study, we address this challenge by introducing a novel approach to fabricate antibacterial alginate-based fibrous materials using a combination of wet spinning and the wet-laying method, which offer advantages including structural and functional properties such as breathability, nontoxicity, biocompatibility, and cost-effectiveness. The wet spinning method was employed to develop porous and non-porous Ca-alginate fibers with diameters of 100 ± 4.

Dressings are prone to adhering to new tissues, leading to secondary harm to the wound during dressing replacement. To address this issue, many strategies have been proposed to endow dressings with anti-adhesive functions. However, the introduction of exogenous agents or stimuli is always needed, and difficulty in achieving adaptive removal is also present.

Persistent inflammation is a major cause of diabetic wounds that are difficult to heal. This is manifested in diabetic wounds with excessive reactive oxygen clusters (ROS), advanced glycation end products (AGE) and other inflammatory factors, and difficulty in polarizing macrophages toward inhibiting inflammation. Berberine is a natural plant molecule that inhibits inflammation; however, its low solubility limits its biological function through cytosis.
