[0002] Type I collagen is the most abundant collagen in the human body, and is expressed in almost all connective tissues and interstitial membranes. It is the main protein in the skeleton, skin, tendon, ligament, sclera, cornea and blood vessels. Human dermal fibroblasts can continuously stimulate the synthesis of new type I collagen, and type I collagen itself plays a supporting role in the skin. Its network structure makes the skin tissue more dense.
[0003] MMP-1 (matrix collagenase) can degrade type I collagen, causing collagen loss in the human body, weakening its supporting effect on the skin, and ultimately leading to reduced skin elasticity. The present application develops a hydrogel preparation as a cosmetic composition, which inhibits the activity of matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1) to achieve anti-wrinkle effect. SUMMARY

The wall of the seminiferous tubules is slightly increased, and spermatogenesis can be seen in the lumen;
[0150] (2) Detection of mouse semen parameters
[0151] After the mice are sacrificed, the bilateral epididymal tails are cut longitudinally and placed in a 6-well plate containing 1 mL of HTF. The plate is placed on a constant temperature platform at 37°C for 2 min, and a pipette is used to gently blow the epididymal tail five times to obtain the sample;
[0152] The above operation is to ensure that the sperm can be completely separated from the epididymal tail;
[0153] Take 20 μL of epididymal tail liquid sample into 1 mL of HTF culture solution, put it into an EP tube, and prepare in advance in a 37℃ water bath; after shaking and mixing, take out 40 μL of the mixed solution into a disposable sperm analysis plate, then use the sperm automatic detection and analysis system (CASA) to detect the sperm, count 500 sperm per mouse;
[0154] Among them, the sperm motility related indexes are: percentage of forward moving sperm PR, percentage of forward moving and non forward moving sperm PR+NP, percentage of super-activated sperm, average curve speed VCL (μm / s), average straight line speed VSL (μm / s), average path speed VAP (μm / s), moving forward STR (%), average lateral swing amplitude ALH (μm) and average whipping frequency BCF (Hz).
[0155] After the detection is completed, the obtained results are comprehensively statistically analyzed by using statistical software SPSS 26.0 and R 4.2.1; for continuous variables conforming to normal distribution, mean ± standard deviation (Mean ± SD) is used for description, and t test is used for comparing the differences between two groups; on this basis, further pairwise comparison between groups is carried out; if the variances between groups are equal, LSD method is used for comparison; if the variances are not equal, Dunnett-t method is used; for data not conforming to normal distribution, median (M) and quartile (P25, P75) are used for description, and Kruskal-Wallis H statistical method is used to compare the differences between two groups; the results are shown in Tables 2 and Figure 2 、 Figure 3

[0161] As shown in Table 2, the results of the epididymal sperm quality parameter analysis of the mice showed that the percentage of forward-moving sperm of the lead-doped group, the lead-doped + smearing intervention group and the DBP-doped group was significantly lower than that of the control group (all p<0.05); the percentage of non-forward-moving sperm of the lead-doped group, the lead-doped + smearing intervention group and the DBP-doped group was significantly lower than that of the control group (all p<0.01); the multiple sperm quality parameters of the mice in the DBP-doped group were significantly lower than those of the control group (all p<0.01); the multiple sperm quality parameters of the mice in the DBP-doped + smearing intervention group were significantly higher than those of the control group (all p<0.01).
[0162] Example 3
[0163] The present embodiment discloses a method for establishing a mouse high-temperature model and a mouse aging model, comprising the following steps:
[0164] Step (1), selecting experimental objects;
[0165] The control group of mice were 5-month-old mice, which were bred in an animal room at 25℃, and were provided with sufficient water and food without any intervention; the high-temperature intervention group and the high-temperature treatment group of mice were 5-month-old; the aging treatment group and the aging group of mice were 19-month-old;
[0166] Step (2), constructing a high-temperature model and an aging model;
[0167] 2.1, constructing a high-temperature model;
[0168] The temperature and humidity of the HOPE-MED 8050D small extreme environment simulation cabin were set to 37.5℃ and 60%, and the light was set to 50%. When the temperature was preheated to 37.5℃ and the humidity reached 60%, the mice were placed in the small extreme environment simulation cabin for 2h, during which sufficient water and real objects were provided for the mice to freely eat. The mice were placed in the cabin once a day from Monday to Saturday, with an interval of 24 hours each time. After high temperature, the mice were immediately taken out and allowed to recover at room temperature for one hour. The scrotal skin area of the high-temperature intervention group was smeared with gel, and the high-temperature group was not smeared. Then the mice were put back into the animal room for breeding. After four weeks of high-temperature intervention, the high-temperature intervention was stopped, and the high-temperature treatment group continued to be smeared for 3 weeks. The high-temperature group did not receive any other intervention. Each group of mice consisted of 6-8 mice. One mouse in the high-temperature group died during the high-temperature process.
[0169] 2.2, constructing a high-temperature model;
[0170] The scrotal skin of the aging treatment group was smeared with the hydrogel preparation prepared in Example 1 once a day from Monday to Saturday, with an interval of 24h each time. The mice were put back into the animal room after treatment. Three mice in the aging treatment group and two mice in the aging group died due to aging.

The sperm indicators of the aging group were lower than those of the control group, and the hyperactivation rate of sperm in the aging treatment group was significantly higher than that in the aging group, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05).
[0181] Example 4
[0182] The present embodiment discloses a method for analyzing and detecting cytotoxicity, comprising the following steps:
[0183] 5 x 103 The cells (human skin fibroblasts HFF) were inoculated into 96-well plates at a seeding density of 5x103cells / well, and incubated in an incubator (37°C, 5% CO2) overnight. After the cell confluence reached 45-60%, the original culture solution in the wells was discarded, 200 μL of culture medium containing a concentration gradient of the hydrogel preparation prepared in Example 1 was added to each well, and normal culture medium was added to the blank control group. The culture medium was high-sugar DMEM medium. The culture plates were incubated in an incubator (37°C, 5% CO2) for 24 h. After the incubation was completed, 20 μL of thiazolyl blue solution was added to each well, and the culture plates were incubated in the incubator for another 4 h. After the incubation was completed, the liquid in the wells was removed, and 100 μL of dimethyl sulfoxide solution was added to each well. The absorbance was measured at a wavelength of 490 nm on an enzyme-labeled instrument.
[0184] The standard deviation (SD) of the optical density of each group of duplicate wells measured by the enzyme-labeled instrument was statistically analyzed, and the coefficient of variation (C.V) was calculated. The test results are shown in Table 5 and Figure 9

[0187] Example 5
[0188] This example discloses an analysis and detection method for the content of MMP-1 (matrix collagenase), which comprises the following steps:
[0189] Step (1), plating:
[0190] Human skin fibroblasts HFF were inoculated into 24-well plates at a seeding density of 5x103cells / well, 1 mL per well, and cultured for 24 h (the confluence reached 45-60% 24 h after inoculation); 4
[0191] Step (2), experimental grouping:
[0192] The experiment set up a blank control group, a positive control group (TGF-β1, 100 ng / mL) and a sample group, with 3 parallel wells in each group.
[0193] The sample group contained the hydrogel preparation prepared in Example 1, with a concentration of 3% (m / m);
[0194] Step (3), solution preparation:
[0195] The complete culture medium containing 2% FBS was used to prepare solutions according to the experimental grouping.
[0196] Step (4), sample loading:
[0197] Discard the culture solution in the 24-well plate, load according to the experimental grouping, 1 mL per well, after the administration is completed, place the 24-well plate in the incubator (37℃, 5% CO2, 95% RH) and culture for 24 h;
[0198] Step (5), sample collection and detection:
[0199] After the culture is completed, centrifuge the supernatant at 1000 r / min for 5 min, take the supernatant, and measure the MMP-1 content by using an MMP-1 kit.
[0200] The test results are shown in Table 6 and Figure 10 ;
[0201] Table 6 Data analysis of MMP-1 content
[0202]
[0203] Note: When using the t-test method for statistical analysis, both the sample group and the positive control group (PC) are compared with the blank control group (BC), and the significance is indicated by “*”, p-value < 0.05 is indicated by “*”, 0.001 < p-value ≤ 0.01 is indicated by “**”, and p-value < 0.001 is indicated by “***”.
[0204] MMP-1 (matrix collagenase) can degrade type I collagen, causing the loss of collagen in the human body, weakening its supporting effect on the skin, and ultimately leading to a decrease in skin elasticity. By measuring the change in MMP-1 content after the sample acts on the cells, it can be determined whether the sample has anti-wrinkle efficacy. As can be seen from Table 6 and Figure 10 , the MMP-1 content of the positive control group is significantly decreased compared with the blank control group, and the p-value < 0.05, proving that the experimental model is effective. Compared with the blank control, the MMP-1 content of the sample group at a test concentration of 3% (m / m) of the hydrogel preparation is significantly reduced, indicating that the hydrogel preparation has anti-wrinkle efficacy at a concentration of 3% (m / m).
