Abstract

The invention relates to a burn dressing capable of preventing sepsis and a preparation method thereof. The dressing can be obtained through an extremely simple technological process, the imbibition / excipient, the antibacterial agent, the lipopolysaccharide inhibitor, the rheology regulator, the pH regulator, the osmotic pressure regulator, the humectant and other components can be directly dissolved in water to be mixed, packaged and sterilized, and then the dressing can be applied to promoting healing of burn wounds. While the antibacterial effect is achieved, signal transmission of lipopolysaccharide is inhibited by capturing lipopolysaccharide or competitively combining lipopolysaccharide receptors, and therefore sepsis mainly caused by lipopolysaccharide is prevented. The method is expected to play a positive promotion role in saving the life of a serious burn patient and relieving the burden of social and medical systems.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of wound management, relates to a burn dressing and a preparation method thereof, and particularly relates to a burn dressing capable of preventing sepsis and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Skin is the largest organ in the human body and has many functions, such as protection, perception, absorption and temperature regulation. Therefore, the health of the skin should be given special attention. However, the skin is also the most vulnerable part of life. Skin trauma can be described as the destruction of the normal anatomical structure and function of the skin due to mechanical, chemical or thermal damage or potential physiological or medical conditions. Since all the physiological functions of the skin depend on the existence of an intact skin barrier, skin trauma is a serious threat to human health. In order to protect skin wounds and promote their healing, wound dressings were invented and applied. As people's understanding of the wound healing process continues to deepen, wound dressings have also undergone updates. Modern moist healing theory believes that an ideal wound dressing should have the following characteristics: covering sensitive underlying tissues, keeping the wound moist and absorbing a large amount of exudate, not adhering to the wound, and having good biocompatibility and degradability.

[0003] In addition to the above functions, wound dressings should also have antibacterial and antibacterial capabilities, because bacterial infection is the biggest obstacle to wound healing, especially for patients with severe burns, infection is one of the main causes of death. The most serious manifestation of infection is sepsis. The mortality rate of patients with sepsis ranges from 30% to 70%, and the number of sepsis patients worldwide exceeds 31.5 million per year. In addition, the cost of treating sepsis is high, which brings a huge economic burden to patients and society. Therefore, trying to prevent the occurrence of sepsis is of great significance to saving the lives of patients with severe burns and reducing the burden on the medical system. Sepsis is defined as a functional organ disorder that endangers life caused by a disorder of the host immune response caused by infection. The occurrence of sepsis involves a series of complex reactions between pathogenic microorganisms and the immune system. Among them, the large amount of lipopolysaccharide contained in the cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria is an important initiating factor in the occurrence of sepsis, which can induce pathological processes such as inflammatory response, coagulation disorder, and immunosuppression. Lipopolysaccharide mainly transmits signals through Toll-like receptor-4, leading to the massive release of proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α, forming an inflammatory factor storm, which ultimately leads to multiple organ dysfunction or even death in patients.

[0004] Since sepsis presents the characteristics of overwhelming inflammatory response in the early stage, the use of immunosuppressive therapy to reduce excessive inflammatory response has been regarded as the key to treating sepsis, such as applying anti-interleukin-6 antibodies, anti-tumor necrosis factor-α antibodies, etc., to antagonize inflammatory factors. Although this idea can reduce the level of inflammation in patients, it cannot effectively improve the clinical outcomes of patients. The reason is that although the inflammatory factor storm causes damage to the body, it is also an effective means to remove pathogens and lipopolysaccharides in the body. The silencing of the immune system causes the body to lose its most powerful weapon against pathogens, which is not conducive to the development of the disease. Designing targeted lipopolysaccharide inhibitors or antagonists for lipopolysaccharide and related receptor binding targets, blocking Toll-like receptor-4 signal transduction at different levels, reducing the signal stimulation received by the immune system without restricting its function, is a more fundamental treatment method currently generally recognized by the academic community. In the field of wound dressings, there is no precedent for using this method to prevent sepsis. Summary of the invention
