Description
Summary:Wound infection and healing in patients with diabetes is one of the complex problems in trauma treatment. Therefore, designing and preparing an advanced dressing membrane for treating the wounds of such patients is essential. In this study, a zein film with biological tea carbon dots (TCDs) and calcium peroxide (CaO2) as the main components for promoting diabetic wound healing was prepared by an electrospinning technique, which combines the advantages of natural degradability and biosafety. CaO2 is a biocompatible material with a microsphere structure that reacts with water to release hydrogen peroxide and calcium ions. TCDs with a small diameter were doped in the membrane to mitigate its properties while improving the antibacterial and healing effects of the membrane. TCDs/CaO2 was mixed with ethyl cellulose-modified zein (ZE) to prepare the dressing membrane. The antibacterial properties, biocompatibility and wound-healing properties of the composite membrane were investigated by antibacterial experiment, cell experiment and a full-thickness skin defect. TCDs/CaO2 @ZE exhibited significant anti-inflammatory and wound healing-promoting properties in diabetic rats, without any cytotoxicity. This study is meaningful in developing a natural and biocompatible dressing membrane for diabetic wound healing, which shows a promising application in wound disinfection and recovery in patients with chronic diseases.
