AI Technical Summary
Existing hydrogels have several drawbacks in preventing postoperative abdominal adhesions, including long gelation time, potential phototoxicity, weakened barrier function, insufficient anti-adhesion ability, unsustainable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory functions, and inconvenient operation.
Xanthan gum methacrylamide (XGMA) was used as the photocrosslinking material, sulfonated betaine methacrylate (SBMA) as the zwitterionic monomer, and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) as the polyphenol compound. An XG-SB@EG hydrogel precursor solution containing the photoinitiator lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphonate (LAP) was prepared. A single-phase composite network was formed by blue light irradiation, which rapidly crosslinked in situ to form a hydrogel with anti-protein adsorption, anti-oxidation, and anti-inflammatory functions.
It achieves rapid gelation, avoids phototoxicity, provides excellent mechanical strength and biocompatibility, significantly reduces the incidence of postoperative abdominal adhesions, has sustained antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and improves the anti-adhesion effect.
