Summary: In this study, silk fibroin sponges with nanopores were prepared and compared with silk fibroin sponges without nanopores. The results showed that the sponge with nanopores had higher porosity, water permeability, and cell attachment and proliferation. In a rat skin wound model, the nanoporous sponge accelerated wound healing, supported vascularization, collagen deposition, and increased epidermal thickness. Therefore, dressing materials with a hierarchical multiscale pore structure could independently promote cell migration, vascularization, and tissue regeneration, without the need for additional growth factors, offering a new strategy for designing better-performing wound dressings.

Summary: Bacterial infection and excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) in diabetic wounds can lead to chronic wounds. A hydrogel was developed by combining methacrylated silk fibroin (SFMA) with ε-polylysine (EPL) and manganese dioxide nanoparticles (BMNPs) to improve the wound microenvironment. The hydrogel showed antibacterial and antioxidant properties. In vivo experiments demonstrated that the hydrogel had better antibacterial effects and reduced ROS levels in diabetic wounds infected with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The hydrogel also promoted wound healing and tissue regeneration.

Summary: One major shortcoming of biopolymeric based wound dressing is the lack of an integrated multi-functional system. This study designed hydrogels with fast gel-forming, porous structure, stable storage modulus, suitable swelling capacity, tissue adhesion, transmission property, self-healing behavior, injectability, inherent antibacterial properties, and biocompatibility. Furthermore, Baicalein could be encapsulated into the hydrogels and its release behavior could be regulated. This study provides new insights into designing multi-functional hydrogels as a wound dressing.

Summary: The corrosion inhibitory potency of two new pyrimidine-pyrazole derivatives, PPA and PPC, was evaluated for mild steel in 1 M HCl. The results showed enhanced inhibition activities with increased concentration, reaching maximal values of 91.15% and 92.39% for PPA and PPC, respectively. However, the mitigation potency decreased with increasing temperature. SEM and XPS analysis revealed that PPA and PPC adsorbed on the mild steel surface, forming a shielding layer that prevented the dissolution of the steel in the acidic solution.
