摘要
Oral ulcers can be managed using a variety of biomaterials that deliver drugs or cytokines.However,many patients experience minimal benefits from certain medical treatments because of poor compliance,short retention times in the oral cavity,and inadequate drug efficacy.Herein,we present a novel hydrogel patch(SCE2)composed of a biopolymer matrix(featuring ultraviolet-triggered adhesion properties)loaded with cuttlefish ink nanoparticles(possessing pro-healing functions).Applying a straightforward local method initiates the formation of a hydrogel barrier that adheres to mucosal injuries under the influence of ultraviolet light.SCE2 then demonstrates exceptional capabilities for near-infrared photothermal sterilization and neutralization of reactive oxygen species.These properties contribute to the elimination of bacteria and the management of the oxidation process,thus accelerating the healing phase’s progression from inflammation to proliferation.In studies involving diabetic rats with oral ulcers,the SCE2 adhesive patch significantly quickens recovery by altering the inflamed state of the injured area,facilitating rapid re-epithelialization,and fostering angiogenesis.In conclusion,this light-sensitive hydrogel patch offers a promising path to expedited wound healing,potentially transforming treatment strategies for clinical oral ulcers.
