Autonomous self-healing 3D micro-suction adhesives for multi-layered amphibious soft skin electronics

Autonomously self-healing, reversible, and soft adhesive microarchitecturesand structured electric elements could be important features in stable and versatilebioelectronic devices adhere to complex surfaces of the human body(rough, dry, wet, and vulnerable). In this study, we propose an autonomousself-healing multi-layered adhesive patch inspired by the octopus, which possessself-healing and robust adhesion properties in dry/underwater conditions.To implement autonomously self-healing octopus-inspired architectures, adynamic polymer reflow model based on structural and material design suggestscriteria for three-dimensional patterning self-healing elastomers. In addition,self-healing multi-layered microstructures with different moduli endowsefficient self-healing ability, human-friendly reversible bio-adhesion, and stablemechanical deformability. Through programmed molecular behavior ofmicrolevel hybrid multiscale architectures, the bioinspired adhesive patchexhibited robust adhesion against rough skin surface under both dry andunderwater conditions while enabling autonomous adhesion restoring performanceafter damaged (over 95% healing efficiency under both conditions for24 h at 30℃). Finally, we developed a self-healing skin-mountable adhesiveelectronics with repeated attachment and minimal skin irritation by laminatingthin gold electrodes on octopus-like structures. Based on the robust adhesionand intimate contact with skin, we successfully obtained reliable measurements during dynamic motion under dry, wet, and damagedconditions.

Suppression of Oxidative Stress of Modified Gongjin-Dan (WSY^1075) in Detrusor Underactivity Rat Model Bladder Outlet Induced by Obstruction

Objective： To investigate the anti-oxidative stress and preventive effect of modified Gongjin-dan （WSY-1075） in a detrusor underactivity rat model. Methods： Rats were randomly allocated to three groups： sham- operated （control）, bladder outlet obstruction-induced detrusor underactivity （BOO-DU）, and BOO-DU with WSY-1075 （WSY） groups. WSY-1075 was orally administrated to rats 200 mg daily for 2 weeks pdor to the operation and 4 weeks after the operation. Bladder outlet obstruction was surgically induced in rats by ligation around the urethra avoiding total obstruction. Cystometrography was conducted on rats in each group for examination of bladders. Results： Compared with the control group, bladder outlet obstruction led to a significant increase in oxidative stress with consequent changes to molecular composition, and decrease in maximal detrusor pressure （P〈0.05）. WSY-1075 treatment significantly suppressed oxidative stress and prevented degenerative and dysfunctional changes in bladder, as compared with BOO-DU group （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： WSY-1075 had beneficial effect on prevention of BOO-DU.
