RESUMO
Chronic non-healing wounds are a common consequence of skin ulceration in diabetic patients, with severe cases such as diabetic foot even leading to amputations. The interplay between pathological factors like hypoxia-ischemia, chronic inflammation, bacterial infection, impaired angiogenesis, and accumulation of advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs), resulting from the dysregulation of the immune microenvironment caused by hyperglycemia, establishes an unending cycle that hampers wound healing. However, there remains a dearth of sufficient and effective approaches to break this vicious cycle within the complex immune microenvironment. Consequently, numerous scholars have directed their research efforts towards addressing chronic diabetic wound repair. In recent years, gases including Oxygen (O2), Nitric oxide (NO), Hydrogen (H2), Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), Ozone (O3), Carbon monoxide (CO) and Nitrous oxide (N2O), along with gas-releasing materials associated with them have emerged as promising therapeutic solutions due to their ability to regulate angiogenesis, intracellular oxygenation levels, exhibit antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects while effectively minimizing drug residue-induced damage and circumventing drug resistance issues. In this review, we discuss the latest advances in the mechanisms of action and treatment of these gases and related gas-releasing materials in diabetic wound repair. We hope that this review can provide different ideas for the future design and application of gas therapy for chronic diabetic wounds.

Hypoxia, chronic inflammation, and elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) production induced by hyperglycemia pose formidable challenges to the healing of diabetic chronic wounds, often resulting in impaired recovery. Currently, sustainable and eco-friendly therapeutic approaches targeting this multifaceted problem remain uncharted. Herein, we develop a unique three-functional covalent organic framework (COF)-modified microalgae gel designed for the preparation and treatment of chronic diabetic wounds. The gel comprises an oxygen-releasing basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) microalgae matrix, augmented by an ROS-responsive COF. Although two of these components have been reported to be used in wound healing, the combination of all three functions represents an innovative approach to synergize the treatment of chronic diabetic wounds. Therefore, we propose a new concept of "ligand interlocking" with three functional synergistic effects. Specifically, the COF has a similar effect to the "double Excalibur", which binds bFGF to promote angiogenesis and proliferation and inhibit the inflammatory response of chronic wounds and binds live microalgae to eliminate ROS and release dissolved oxygen to alleviate the hypoxia of wounds. Moreover, in vivo experiments and RNA sequencing analyses similarly demonstrated that the COF-modified microalgae gel reduced the inflammatory cascade cycle in the wound site and promoted vascular and tissue regeneration. We posit that the COF-modified microalgae gel represents a promising strategy for the active in vivo delivery of therapeutics to the wound body in intensive care unit settings.

ABSTRACT The effect of pressure on the fluorescence of tryptophan in the presence of metal ions was studied by fluorescence spectrometry. It was found that at 60 MPa, the fluorescence intensity of M/Trp mixtures (M represented metal ions) increased compared to that at atmosphere pressure. The relative fluorescence efficiency of M/Trp mixtures increased with pressure. When the M/Trp ratio was above 10:1, the relative fluorescence efficiency in decreasing order was Cu2+/Trp mixtures, Ni2+/Trp mixtures and Mg2+ (K+)/Trp mixtures. When the ratio was below 10:1, the decreasing order was Cu2+/Trp mixtures and Ni2+ (Mg2+, K+)/Trp mixtures. The relative fluorescence efficiency increased with the concentration of Cu2+ and Ni2+. The variation was relate to the quenching of tryptophan fluorescence in the presence of metal ions. A red shift was also observed, but the red shift was independent of metal ions.
