摘要
Effective coverage and protection is a priority in wound treatment.Collagen and chitosan have been widely used for wound dressings due to their excellent biological activity and biocompatibility.Silver nanoparticles(AgNPs)have a powerful antibacterial effect.In this study,a macromolecular and small-molecular collagen mixed solution,a macromolecular and small-molecular chitosan mixed solution were prepared,and a silver nanoparticle-loaded collagen-chitosan dressing(AgNPCCD)has been proposed.First,the effects of a collagen-chitosan mixed solution on the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and the secretion of cytokines were evaluated.Then,the characteristics and antibacterial effects of the AgNP-CCD were tested,and the effects on wound healing and the influence of wound cytokine expression were investigated via a deep second-degree burn wound model.The results showed that at the proper proportion and concentration,the collagen-chitosan mixed solution effectively promoted cell proliferation and regulated the levels of growth factors(vascular endothelial growth factor[VEGF],epidermal growth factor[EGF],plateletderived growth factor[PDGF],transforming growth factor[TGF-b1],basic fibroblastic growth factor[bFGF])and inflammatory factors(TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6,IL-8).Moreover,AgNP solutions at lower concentrations exerted limited inhibitory effects on cell proliferation and had no effect on cytokine secretion.The AgNP-CCD demonstrated satisfactory morphological and physical properties as well as efficient antibacterial activities.An in vivo evaluation indicated that AgNP-CCD could accelerate the healing process of deep second-degree burn wounds and played an important role in the regulation of growth and inflammatory factors,including VEGF,EGFL-7,TGF-β1,bFGF,TNF-α and IL-1β.This AgNP-CCD exerted excellent biological effects on wound healing promotion and cytokine expression regulation.
