Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of materials technology, and more specifically, to a modified nano-silver hydrogel dressing, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Dressings refer to auxiliary materials used in addition to the main material of an item. Traditional dressings mainly consist of dry gauze and oil-soaked gauze, while modern wound dressings include interactive wound dressings, hydrogel dressings, calcium alginate dressings, foam dressings, hydrocolloid dressings, and so on. Among them, hydrogel dressings are a new type of wound care material, mainly composed of hydrogel materials. They have excellent water absorption and moisturizing properties, absorbing exudate from the wound surface and keeping the wound moist, promoting wound healing. At the same time, the moist environment they provide can promote cell regeneration and repair at the wound site, thereby reducing the risk of wound infection. In addition, because hydrogel dressings contain a large amount of water, when they come into contact with the skin, heat exchange occurs due to the temperature difference between the skin and the gel, causing the skin temperature to drop, resulting in a cooling and analgesic effect. Most importantly, hydrogel dressings are non-irritating to the skin, have low immunogenicity, and are highly safe.

[0003] Currently, hydrogel dressings are used for various acute and chronic wounds, chronic non-healing wounds, surgical incisions, and postoperative wounds. Acute and chronic wounds include superficial wounds such as abrasions, cuts, and burns, while chronic non-healing wounds include diabetic foot ulcers, pressure sores, and venous ulcers. If a hydrogel dressing has antibacterial properties, it can inhibit or kill bacteria at the wound site, reducing bacterial growth and further lowering the risk of wound infection. It can also reduce the use of antibiotics and help control the development of drug resistance. Existing technology incorporates nano-silver as an antibacterial agent into hydrogel dressings to impart antibacterial properties; however, the antibacterial performance of this hydrogel dressing still needs improvement.

[0004] Therefore, developing a modified silver nanoparticle that can improve the antibacterial properties of hydrogel dressings is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a modified nano-silver, hydrogel dressing, preparation method and application for improving the antibacterial properties of hydrogel dressings.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a modified silver nanoparticle, the preparation method of which includes the following steps:

[0008] S1. Add silver salt, lanthanum salt, cerium salt, stabilizer and borohydride to water and react to obtain lanthanum-cerium nano-silver;

[0009] S2. Mix lanthanum- and cerium-containing nano-silver and mercaptocarboxylic acid to react and obtain modified nano-silver;

[0010] In step S1, the molar ratio of silver in the silver salt, lanthanum in the lanthanum salt, and cerium in the cerium salt is Ag:La:Ce = 1:(0.005-0.030):(0.10-0.30).

[0011] In this invention, the content of lanthanum and cerium in modified nano-silver is adjustable by controlling the molar ratio of silver in silver salt, lanthanum in lanthanum salt, and cerium in cerium salt, so that lanthanum and cerium are evenly distributed in the modified nano-silver, thereby effectively promoting the antibacterial effect of nano-silver and improving the antibacterial performance of hydrogel dressings prepared using modified nano-silver.

[0012] Furthermore, the modified silver nanoparticles prepared by modifying lanthanum-cerium nanoparticles with mercaptocarboxylic acid can be cross-linked by reacting the carboxyl groups directly with the raw materials of hydrogel dressings (amino groups of gelatin and amino groups of carboxymethyl chitosan). This allows the modified silver nanoparticles to be stably and uniformly connected to the framework of the hydrogel dressing through chemical bonding. This not only fully exerts the antibacterial effect of the modified silver nanoparticles, but also reduces or prevents the modified silver nanoparticles from entering the body through the wound when the hydrogel dressing is used on the wound surface.

[0041] The mass ratio of the modified nano-silver, gelatin, and carboxymethyl chitosan is 1:(10-80):(5-50).

Furthermore, by controlling the mass ratio of modified nano-silver, gelatin, and carboxymethyl chitosan, the antibacterial modified nano-silver and carboxymethyl chitosan can be uniformly modified between gelatin molecules, which is beneficial for further improving the antibacterial properties of the hydrogel dressing.

[0052] Fourthly, the present invention provides an application of a hydrogel dressing in antibacterial applications.

[0053] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0055] In this invention, the modified silver nanoparticles prepared by modifying lanthanum-cerium nanoparticles with mercaptocarboxylic acid can be cross-linked by reacting the carboxyl groups directly with the raw materials of the hydrogel dressing (the amino groups of gelatin and carboxymethyl chitosan). This allows the modified silver nanoparticles to be stably and uniformly connected to the framework of the hydrogel dressing through chemical bonding. This not only fully exerts the antibacterial effect of the modified silver nanoparticles, but also reduces or prevents the modified silver nanoparticles from entering the body through the wound when the hydrogel dressing is used on the wound surface.

[0056] In this invention, by controlling the molar ratio of silver element in silver salt and thiol group in thiocarboxylic acid, modified nano-silver can be more stably and uniformly connected to the hydrogel dressing framework through chemical bonding, thereby further improving the antibacterial effect of modified nano-silver, and further improving the antibacterial performance of hydrogel dressing prepared using modified nano-silver.

[0057] In this invention, cross-linking is achieved through a condensation reaction between the carboxyl groups of modified nano-silver, the carboxyl and amino groups of gelatin, and the amino groups of carboxymethyl chitosan, thereby forming a hydrogel dressing. Furthermore, by controlling the mass ratio of modified nano-silver, gelatin, and carboxymethyl chitosan, the antibacterial modified nano-silver and carboxymethyl chitosan can be uniformly modified between gelatin molecules, which is beneficial for further improving the antibacterial properties of the hydrogel dressing.

[0153] Performance testing

[0154] The performance of the hydrogel dressings in each application example and the comparative application example was tested, as follows:

[0155] 1. Antibacterial performance test:

[0156] (1) Take 1cm×1cm×1cm of each application example or comparative application example of hydrogel dressing in a glass test tube (15mm×150mm) as the experimental group, and the experiment without adding any hydrogel dressing as the blank control group.

[0157] (2) Add 10 mL of LB liquid culture medium to the glass test tube treated in step (1), and then add 1 mL of 4×10⁻⁶ medium. 8 A CFU / mL Staphylococcus aureus suspension was incubated at 37°C for 6 hours. Then, 100 μL was diluted 1000 times with LB liquid medium. Using the dilution plating method, 100 μL was spread on Luria-Bertani (LB) agar medium and incubated at 37°C for 24 hours. The colony count was then calculated.

[0158] (3) The antibacterial rate of the hydrogel dressings in each application example and the comparative application example was calculated using the following formula:

[0159] The inhibition rate (%) of hydrogel dressing against Staphylococcus aureus = (number of colonies in the blank control group - number of colonies in the experimental group) / number of colonies in the blank control group × 100%;

[0160] 2. Compression strength test:

[0161] The hydrogel dressings of each application example or comparative application example were made into cylinders with a diameter of 40 mm and a height of 20 mm. The compressive strength of the hydrogel dressings was tested using a universal testing machine at a compression rate of 50 mm / min.

[0162] The greater the compressive strength, the better the mechanical properties of the hydrogel dressing;

[0163] The experimental results are shown in the table below:

[0164] Table 4. Performance test results of tiles in various application examples and comparative application examples.

[0165]

[0166]

[0167] As shown in Table 4, in this invention, by controlling the molar ratio of silver in silver salt, lanthanum in lanthanum salt, and cerium in cerium salt, the content of lanthanum and cerium in modified nano-silver can be adjusted, so that lanthanum and cerium are evenly distributed in the modified nano-silver, thereby effectively promoting the antibacterial effect of nano-silver and improving the antibacterial performance of hydrogel dressings prepared using modified nano-silver.

[0168] In this invention, the modified silver nanoparticles prepared by modifying lanthanum-cerium nanoparticles with mercaptocarboxylic acid can be cross-linked by reacting the carboxyl groups directly with the raw materials of the hydrogel dressing (the amino groups of gelatin and carboxymethyl chitosan). This allows the modified silver nanoparticles to be stably and uniformly connected to the framework of the hydrogel dressing through chemical bonding. This not only fully exerts the antibacterial effect of the modified silver nanoparticles, but also reduces or prevents the modified silver nanoparticles from entering the body through the wound when the hydrogel dressing is used on the wound surface.

[0169] Furthermore, as can be seen from Application Examples 1, 10-13 and Comparative Application Example 5, by controlling the molar ratio of silver element in silver salt and mercapto group in mercaptocarboxylic acid, modified nano-silver can be more stably and uniformly connected to the hydrogel dressing framework through chemical bonding, thereby further improving the antibacterial effect of modified nano-silver, and further improving the antibacterial performance of hydrogel dressings prepared using modified nano-silver.

[0170] As shown in Application Examples 1 and 14-24, cross-linking is achieved through a condensation reaction between the carboxyl groups of modified nano-silver, the carboxyl and amino groups of gelatin, and the amino groups of carboxymethyl chitosan, thereby forming a hydrogel dressing. Furthermore, by controlling the mass ratio of modified nano-silver, gelatin, and carboxymethyl chitosan, the antibacterial modified nano-silver and carboxymethyl chitosan can be uniformly modified between gelatin molecules, which is beneficial for further improving the antibacterial properties of the hydrogel dressing.

[0171] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
