[0002] In gastrointestinal surgery, accurate marking of lesion edges or anastomoses is crucial. However, the complex environment of the abdominal cavity, characterized by moisture, bleeding, peristalsis, and fat encapsulation, presents significant challenges to existing marking techniques: inaccurate marking and positioning. Existing liquid markers (such as methylene blue solution or common thermosensitive gel precursors) are prone to dripping or spreading under gravity when applied to the curved, moist surface of the intestine, resulting in blurred or displaced marking lines, failing to achieve "what you draw is what you get".

[0003] Unable to cope with "flushing, blood staining and adhesion": Liquid markers lack strong interfacial binding mechanisms and anti-fouling design, making them easy to be washed away by peritoneal fluid, covered by blood infiltration, or cause postoperative omental adhesions.

[0004] Poor user experience: Unable to write smoothly.

[0005] Therefore, how to improve the markers to achieve strong adhesion, anti-fouling properties, and smooth flow has become a pressing technical challenge in the field. Summary of the Invention

[0024] In this invention, the rheology modifier is preferably at least one of nanocrystalline cellulose (CNC), layered silicate, and fumed silica; the layered silicate is preferably lithium saponite; and the concentration of the rheology modifier in the thixotropic temperature-sensitive physical crosslinking matrix is ​​preferably 0.1~1.0 g / 100 mL.

[0028] In this invention, the preferred method for preparing the thixotropic temperature-sensitive physical crosslinking matrix is ​​to mix poloxamer, a rheology modifier, and a solvent, and then add a tannic acid solution to obtain the thixotropic temperature-sensitive physical crosslinking matrix.

[0030] The present invention does not have any special limitations on the operation of adding tannic acid solution, and any technical solution for preparing mixtures that is well known to those skilled in the art can be used.

[0031] The mussel-like strong adhesion and antifouling marker provided by this invention comprises catechol-modified chitosan nanoparticles loaded with surgical dyes; the mass content of the catechol-modified chitosan nanoparticles loaded with surgical dyes in the mussel-like strong adhesion and antifouling marker is preferably 0.5-3.0%. As one embodiment, the mass content of the catechol-modified chitosan nanoparticles loaded with surgical dyes in the mussel-like strong adhesion and antifouling marker can be 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, or 2.5%. In this invention, the catechol-modified chitosan nanoparticles serve as the color carrier and adhesion core, used to improve the strong adhesion and antifouling performance of the surgical dyes; limiting the mass content of the catechol-modified chitosan nanoparticles loaded with surgical dyes within the above range can further improve the adhesion and antifouling performance.

[0032] In this invention, the loading amount of the surgical dye on the catechol-modified chitosan nanoparticles is preferably 1.0 to 5.0%. As one embodiment, the loading amount of the surgical dye on the catechol-modified chitosan nanoparticles can be 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.5%, 3.0%, 3.5%, 4.0%, or 4.5%.

[0033] In this invention, the average particle size of the catechin-modified chitosan nanoparticles is preferably 50-200 nm.

[0034] This invention does not specifically limit the type of surgical dye; any well-known surgical dye may be used. As one embodiment, the surgical dye may be methylene blue. In this invention, the surgical dye is encapsulated within catechol-modified chitosan nanoparticles and complexed with tannins in a thixotropic, temperature-sensitive, physically crosslinked matrix network.

[0035] In this invention, the grafting rate of catechins in the catechin-modified chitosan nanoparticles is preferably 5-30%. As one embodiment, the grafting rate of catechins in the catechin-modified chitosan nanoparticles can be 10%, 15%, 20%, or 25%.

[0036] The present invention does not impose any special limitations on the preparation method of the catechin-modified chitosan nanoparticles. Any preparation method well known to those skilled in the art can be used to ensure that the grafting rate of catechin is within the above-mentioned range.

[0037] This invention does not impose any specific limitations on the preparation method of the catechol-modified chitosan nanoparticles loaded with surgical dyes, as long as the loading amount of surgical dyes meets the required requirements. As one embodiment, the preparation method of the catechol-modified chitosan nanoparticles loaded with surgical dyes can be as follows: First, chitosan is dissolved in acetic acid solution, and 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (as a catechol source) is added to perform a Schiff base reaction to obtain a modified chitosan solution; then, the modified chitosan solution is mixed with a methylene blue solution, and self-assembly is induced to form nanoparticles using an ionic crosslinking agent (such as sodium tripolyphosphate), and methylene blue is loaded onto these nanoparticles; finally, the nanoparticles are purified by centrifugation and washing to obtain the catechol-modified chitosan nanoparticles loaded with surgical dyes.

[0038] This invention uses poloxamer as a temperature-sensitive unit, introduces tannic acid to construct a physical cross-linking enhanced network, uses catechin-modified chitosan nanoparticles as a color carrier and adhesion core, and supplements it with a rheology modifier to endow the system with significant shear-thinning thixotropic properties, which can make the viscosity of the marker instantly decrease when subjected to writing shear force, allowing it to flow smoothly, while improving the adhesion and anti-fouling performance of the marker.

[0039] The mussel-inspired, highly adhesive, and stain-resistant marker provided by this invention possesses shear-thinning thixotropic rheological properties. In a static state, it is a high-viscosity semi-solid, preventing sagging. When subjected to writing shear force, its viscosity decreases instantaneously, allowing for smooth flow. After shearing ceases, it recovers its high viscosity within milliseconds and utilizes catechol to achieve rapid anchoring within 5 seconds. This invention achieves an ultimate surgical marking experience on moist, bleeding, and peristaltic intestinal surfaces—"draw and stop instantly, remain perfectly still, and be clear and durable"—solving the clinical pain points of traditional markers, such as easy displacement, sagging, and easy obscuring by blood.

[0040] The mussel-like strong adhesion and antifouling marker provided by this invention exhibits the following rheological behavior at 20°C: viscosity at rest >10 Pa·s, and viscosity within 10 s... -1 The apparent viscosity at the shear rate rapidly decreases to <1 Pa·s, and recovers to more than 80% of the initial viscosity within 1 second after the shear force is removed. At 37℃ (body temperature), the system further exhibits significant thermosensitive gel properties: the storage modulus (G') in the static state significantly increases to >100 Pa (more than 5 to 10 times higher than at 20℃), while the loss modulus (G'') relatively decreases, exhibiting overall solid gel behavior, with the viscosity further increasing to >50 Pa·s, suitable for stable anchoring and anti-sagging in vivo. This thermosensitive transition originates from the micelle self-assembly mechanism of poloxamer 407, and with the enhancement of the tannic acid hydrogen bond network, a faster and more stable sol-gel transition (gelation time <1 min) is achieved, ensuring rapid shaping of the marker after contact with tissue during surgery.

[0041] The mussel-inspired, highly adhesive, and stain-resistant marker provided by this invention has the following characteristics: rapid and stable anchoring and anti-sagging: upon contact with tissue, it instantly physical shapes due to thixotropy and generates irreversible chemical anchoring within 5 seconds (physical shaping and chemical adhesion work synergistically), preventing sagging on vertically wetted surfaces; strong blood resistance: a surface barrier film is formed through tannic acid interfacial complexation to prevent blood infiltration; underwater superoleophobicity: a highly hydrated surface is constructed, and contact angle tests show underwater superoleophobicity (>150°); ultimate writing experience: through rheological control, it achieves smooth writing, instant shaping, and no sagging; three strong anti-interference features: strong waterproof erosion resistance, strong blood penetration resistance, and strong oil adhesion resistance.

[0042] This invention achieves the above objectives through a strategy of "chemical matrix upgrade + physical rheology optimization": Chemical matrix upgrade: mussel-tannic acid dual-enhanced network; using catechin-modified chitosan nanoparticles, utilizing the quinone groups after oxidization of catechins to form rapid covalent bonds with amino groups on the tissue surface for anchoring (<5 seconds).

[0043] Tannic acid is introduced to form a dense hydrogen bond network with poloxamer to improve mechanical strength; the protein complexing ability of tannic acid is used to form a blood-repellent film on the surface; and a highly hydrated surface is used to achieve underwater superoleophobic and anti-adhesion.

[0044] Physico-rheological optimization: a shear-thinning thixotropic system was constructed; a rheology modifier was introduced into the system, and a weak physical network with yield stress at low temperature was constructed by finely controlling the interaction between high-concentration tannic acid and poloxamer.

[0045] The principle of the mussel-inspired strong adhesion and stain-resistant marker provided by this invention (draw and stop instantly): When at rest (stored in the pen or just drawn on the tissue), it exhibits a high-viscosity semi-solid state, sufficient to resist gravity and prevent sagging. When subjected to writing shear force (pen tip stroke), the physical network is instantly disrupted, and the viscosity drops sharply, becoming a flowable liquid. Once the pen tip leaves, the shearing stops, and the network is rebuilt within milliseconds to seconds, restoring the high-viscosity solid state, achieving precise shaping.

[0046] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the mussel-like strong adhesion and antifouling marker described in the above technical solution, comprising: mixing a thixotropic thermosensitive physical crosslinking matrix and catechol-modified chitosan nanoparticles loaded with surgical dyes to obtain the mussel-like strong adhesion and antifouling marker.

[0047] The present invention does not have any special limitations on the operation of mixing the thixotropic thermosensitive physical crosslinking matrix and the catechol-modified chitosan nanoparticles loaded with surgical dyes; any technical solution for preparing the mixture well known to those skilled in the art can be used.

[0048] The present invention also provides the application of the mussel-like strong adhesion and antifouling marker described in the above technical solution or the mussel-like strong adhesion and antifouling marker prepared by the preparation method described in the above technical solution in surgical serous membrane surface marking.

[0049] The present invention does not impose any special limitations on the operation of the mussel-like strong adhesion and antifouling marker in surgical serous membrane marking; the application operation of the marker well known to those skilled in the art can be used.

[0054] Comparative Example 1: Methylene blue aqueous solution is commonly used in clinical practice.

[0055] Comparative Example 2 omitted the tannic acid solution, nanocrystalline cellulose, and methylene blue-loaded catechin-modified chitosan nanoparticles from Example 1, and obtained ordinary poloxamer 407 thermosensitive gel.

[0056] In a clean environment, the markers prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were injected into the reservoir of the marker pen, a spring valve core was installed, a porous pen tip was pressed in, and the pen was sealed. The following tests were then conducted: 1. Rheological and thixotropic testing instruments: rotational rheometer, equipped with a cone-plate clamp, with temperature settings of 20°C (simulating operating room room temperature) and 37°C (body temperature).

[0057] Thixotropic recovery test: Low shear (0.1s) -1 60 seconds, simulating a static state.

[0058] High shear (100s) -1 30 seconds, simulating writing.

[0059] Immediately resume low shear (0.1s) -1 180 seconds, record the time required for the viscosity to recover to the percentage of its initial state (metric: <recovery within 1 second>80%).

[0060] Experimental data show that at 20°C, after the shear force was removed (simulating the pen tip leaving the tissue), the viscosity of Example 1 recovered to 15 Pa·s (more than 85% of the initial value) within 0.5 seconds; Example 2 recovered to 14 Pa·s (more than 82% of the initial value) within 0.6 seconds; Example 3 recovered to 16 Pa·s (more than 88% of the initial value) within 0.4 seconds; and Comparative Example 2 required 15-20 seconds to slowly gel through temperature change.

Comparative Example 2, although it gelled slowly at 37°C, still required 10-15 seconds to recover, and its viscosity was only 30-40 Pa·s. This demonstrates that the present invention possesses extremely strong rapid thixotropic recovery and anti-sagging properties at body temperature, making it suitable for precise and durable marking on surgical serous surfaces.

[0062] 2. Anti-drip writing experience test (simulated clinical operation) model: a fresh, moist pig small intestine segment fixed vertically.

[0063] Procedure: Hold the marker pen and write "dots" and "lines" on the surface of the intestine.

[0064] Experimental data show that when marking on the surface of a pig small intestine tilted at 90°, Comparative Example 1 flowed instantly after being dropped, with a diffusion diameter >2cm; Comparative Example 2 showed a downward flow of about 1cm; the marking line width in Example 1 remained at 1mm ± 0.1mm, with no displacement within 5 minutes; the marking line width in Example 2 remained at 1.1mm ± 0.1mm, with no displacement within 5 minutes; and the marking line width in Example 3 remained at 0.9mm ± 0.1mm, with no displacement within 5 minutes.

[0065] 3. Strong anti-blood and anti-erosion performance: The marked area was continuously rinsed with simulated whole blood for 30 seconds. The color of the marks in Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 faded or even disappeared. In Example 1, due to the rapid physical / chemical anchoring of tannic acid and catechol, the mark integrity was maintained at >95%, and a clear blood-repellent layer was formed on the surface. In Example 2, the mark integrity was maintained at >93%. In Example 3, the mark integrity was maintained at >96%.

[0066] In addition, contact angle tests showed that the underwater superoleophobic contact angle of Example 1 was 152°; that of Example 2 was 150°; that of Example 3 was 155°; that of Comparative Example 1 was 85°; and that of Comparative Example 2 was 110°.

[0067] As can be seen from the above embodiments and comparative examples, the mussel-like strong adhesion anti-fouling marker can prevent dripping, flow smoothly, and has strong waterproof, bloodproof, and oil-proof adhesion properties.

[0068] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
