Description

Modified chitosan/functional short peptide composite hydrogel and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedical materials, and particularly relates to a modified chitosan/functional short peptide composite hydrogel as well as a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The chitosan is derived from chitin, is obtained by deacetylating amino groups on natural polysaccharide chitin, has various physiological functions of biodegradability, biocompatibility, nontoxicity, bacteriostasis, immunity enhancement and the like, and is widely applied to the field of medical treatment. Chitosan is the only cationic polysaccharide in nature, has the advantages of rich content, low price, good biocompatibility and biodegradability and the like, and is often used for preparing hydrogel.
In recent years, with further research, injectable chitosan hydrogels with excellent properties have been developed by various chemical or physical modification and modification methods, introduction of various biofunctional molecules, or various crosslinking methods, and their application range has been expanded, playing more and more important roles in practical applications (Liuyang, Wang Ying, Wang Yuanjuan, etc. [ J ] preparation and application of injectable chitosan hydrogels, 2020(5):17-23 ]. For example, the chinese patent discloses a method for preparing an injectable composite chitosan hydrogel for skin wound repair, which is injectable, but requires the addition of an initiator for preparation, and has a risk of toxic auxiliary agent residue. The Chinese invention patent also discloses a self-repairable chitosan hydrogel and a preparation method thereof, wherein hydrogen bond groups such as thiourea group and urea group are introduced into the high molecular chain segment of the chitosan hydrogel, and self-repair of the material is realized by means of the breakage and recombination of hydrogen bonds in molecules or between molecules.
The injectable hydrogel has the advantages of non-invasive or minimally invasive implantation, can be used as a repair material for irregular-shaped injuries, and avoids risks brought by large-scale operations; however, hydrogels implanted in vivo are highly susceptible to stress cracking if subjected to external mechanical action, the further development of cracks can destroy the regularity of the internal structure and the functional integrity of the material, and the damaged gel matrix can easily cause rejection after entering body fluids, with the risk of causing inflammation. If the hydrogel has self-repairing performance and can be spontaneously recombined into a whole after being damaged by external force, the hydrogel has greater application value. In the existing research, no report of preparing injectable and self-repairing hydrogel by using chitosan is found.
