Biodegradable natural polymers are receiving increasing attention as potential candidates for wound dressing. In the present study, composite microspheres (mCSB) based on calcium alginate (CA), silk fibroin peptide (SP), and Bletilla striata polysaccharide (BSP) were prepared by the reverse emulsion method. The excellent swelling properties of microspheres enable them to rapidly promote thrombosis. Microspheres can increase the platelet aggregation index to 1.5 and the aggregation rate of red blood cells to as high as 80 %. Furthermore, tannic acid (TA)-loaded microspheres demonstrate a slow-release effect on TA; this allows the microspheres to exhibit good long-lasting antibacterial properties. Due to the synergistic effects of SP and TA, the cell senescence was delayed, with a 126.69 % survival rate of fibroblasts after 3 days of incubation. In addition, TA led to a rapid reduction in inflammation levels, with a wound closure rate of >92.80 % within 7 days. The multifunctional TA-loaded mCSB has great application potential for rapid wound healing and the treatment of wound hemostasis.

Trained immunity represents a functional state of the innate immune response, characterized by enduring epigenetic reprogramming of innate immune cells. This phenomenon facilitates a sustained and advantageous reaction of myeloid cells to subsequent challenges. Bletilla striata polysaccharide (BSP) is the primary active component of Bletilla striata, mainly consisting of mannose and glucose in its chemical structure.

Bletilla striata polysaccharide (BSP) has attracted considerable interest due to its diverse biological activities. In this research, a novel low-molecular-weight water-soluble polysaccharide (BSP-182) was isolated and purified from Bletilla striata tubers, and its structure was characterized. The findings indicated that BSP-182 is predominantly composed of β-1,4-linked glucose (Glc) and β-1,4-linked mannose (Man) in a molar ratio of approximately 7.

Microfluidic-engineered hydrogel microspheres have emerged as a promising avenue for advancements in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, particularly through the precise manipulation of fluids to achieve personalized composite biomaterials. In this study, we employed microfluidic technology to fabricate hydrogel microspheres (HMs) using Chinese herbal Bletilla striata polysaccharide (BSP) as the primary material. Concurrently, the natural active ingredient 20(S)-protopanaxadiol (PPD) was encapsulated within the HMs in the form of liposomes (PPD-Lipo), resulting in the formation of nanocomposite hydrogel microspheres (PPD-Lipo@HMs) intended for diabetic wound tissue repair.

The healing of diabetic wounds (DW) is challenging due to the complex microenvironment, manifesting severe bacterial infections, persistent inflammation, and excessive oxidative stress. Therefore, overcoming these impediments to restore the wound microenvironment to a normal state is critical points and challenges in the development of effective DW dressings. Herein, a B/TF hydrogel was developed in our study using Bletilla striata polysaccharide (BSP), borax, and the tannic acid/ferric iron (TA/Fe) complex.

To improve the retention time and skin-whitening efficacy of Atractylodes macrocephale essential oil (AMO), a novel Pickering emulsion based nanogel loaded with AMO (AMO-PEG) was successfully developed. This formulation employed nano-pearl powder (NPP) as the particle stabilizer for the Pickering emulsion and Bletilla striata polysaccharide (BSP) as the gel matrix. The pH, rheological properties, hardness, and elasticity of AMO-PEG were affected by the ratio of AMO-Pickering emulsion (AMO-PE) to BSP gel matrix.
