A 0.1% DMF solution of p - nitro - cinnamic acid and a 0.1% DMF solution of benzoic acid were used as Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, respectively. The test results are shown in Table 2, which is a data table for the detection of the sun protection factors of the photo - responsive hydrogels A1 - B to A9 - B prepared in Examples 24 - 32. The data shows that based on the natural polymer derivative with the structure shown in Formula I of the present invention, a carbon - carbon double bond and a sunscreen functional group are introduced into its skeleton. The photo - responsive hydrogel includes a natural polymer derivative with the structure shown in Formula I (component A), a cross - linker containing multiple mercapto groups (component B), and a photo - initiator. Under the action of the photo - initiator, components A and B can undergo a cross - linking reaction to form a hydrogel after irradiation. At this time, the sunscreen functional group on the natural polymer derivative with the structure shown in Formula I can enhance the sunscreen function at the application site. At the same time, for cinnamic acid or cinnamic acid derivatives, cinnamic acid derivatives will undergo a photo - dimerization reaction to form a cross - linked network under irradiation at a specific wavelength, which can improve the mechanical properties of the photo - responsive hydrogel, that is, the cross - linked network can increase the residence time of the sunscreen product and extend the cycle of the sunscreen's efficacy.

Fill the device with water, and the peak pressure before pressure loss measured by the pressure gauge is the bursting pressure, as Figure 2 shown. Taking the commercially available sample Fibrin Glue (manufacturer Baxter, model TISSEEL) as a comparison, all measurements are repeated three times. The tissue adhesion force and bursting pressure of the hydrogel are shown in Table 3, which is the data table of the tissue adhesion test and bursting pressure test for the photo-responsive hydrogels A10 - B to A15 - B prepared in Examples 33 - 38. The data shows that based on the natural polymer derivative with the structure shown in Formula I of the present invention, a carbon-carbon double bond and a small molecule functional group containing a polyphenol structure are introduced into its backbone. The photo-responsive hydrogel includes a natural polymer derivative with the structure shown in Formula I (Component A), a cross-linking agent containing multiple mercapto groups (Component B), and a photo-initiator. The two components A and B can, under the action of the photo-initiator, undergo a cross-linking reaction to form a hydrogel after light irradiation. Its performance in terms of tissue adhesion strength and bursting pressure has been improved compared to the comparative examples, making it more advantageous for applications in antibacterial, antioxidant, wet tissue adhesion and other products. In other words, the small molecule functional group containing a polyphenol structure on the natural polymer derivative with the structure shown in Formula I can enhance the antibacterial, antioxidant, wet tissue adhesion and other effects at the application site.

Cover the wound surface with 0.5 mL of the hydrogel precursor solutions of A16-B-1 and A16-B-2 (without EGF short peptide modification) in Example 39 respectively, and irradiate with 405 nm blue light for 60 s to form a hydrogel in situ at the defect site. After 2 weeks of treatment and observation, the wound closure rate of the mice in the combination-16 group reached 91%, the wound closure rate of the blank control group of mice without treating the wound was 46%, and the wound closure rate of the positive control group of mice covered with the combination-16-2 hydrogel was 65%. As Figure 3 shown, the results show that the hydrogel A16-B-1 modified with EGF short peptide has an obvious effect of promoting tissue repair. It shows that the small molecule functional group containing polyphenol structure on the natural polymer derivative with the structure shown in Formula I can enhance its function at the application site.
[0096] Example 49 Hydrogel Promoting Skin Repair Test Use surgical scissors to create a 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm skin defect on the back of mature female SD rats to establish a skin defect model on the back of rats. Cover the wound surface with 0.5 mL of the hydrogel precursor solutions of A20-B in Example 42 and A16-B-2 (without EGF short peptide modification) in Example 39 respectively, and irradiate with 405 nm blue light for 60 s to form a hydrogel in situ at the defect site. After 2 weeks of treatment and observation, the wound closure rate of the mice in the A20-B group reached 84%, the wound closure rate of the blank control group of mice without treating the wound was 46%, and the wound closure rate of the positive control group of mice covered with A16-B-2 was 65% (as Figure 3 shown), the results show that the hydrogel modified with RGD peptide has an obvious effect of promoting tissue. It further proves that the small molecule functional group containing polyphenol structure on the natural polymer derivative with the structure shown in Formula I can enhance its function at the application site.
