RESUMO
Wound infection and adhesion are important factors affecting wound healing. Early detection of pathogen infection and reduction of wound-to-dressing adhesion are critical for improving wound healing. Herein, Ester-J, which can rapidly respond to lipase secreted by bacteria, was designed and synthesized. Then, Ester-J was co-spun with poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to prepare a PP-EsJ hydrophobic anti-adhesion dressing with a contact angle of 140.7°. When the PP-EsJ membrane came into contact with the bacteria, the loaded Ester-J was hydrolyzed to Tph-TSF-OH, releasing bright cyan-blue fluorescence, thus providing a fluorescence switch for an early warning of infection. The detection limits of PP-EsJ for Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus were 1.0 × 105 and 1.0 × 106 CFU/mL, respectively. Subsequently, Tph-TSF-OH released 1O2 through light irradiation, which rapidly killed P. aeruginosa and S. aureus, and accelerated wound healing. Compared with the control group, enhanced wound closure (up to 99.80 ± 1.10 %) was observed in mice treated with the PP-EsJ membrane. The PP-EsJ membrane not only effectively reduced the risk of external infection but also reduced adhesions to the skin during dressing changes. These characteristics make PP-EsJ membranes potentially useful for clinical treatment.
