Abstract

Catalytic conversion of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) to more toxic hydroxyl radicals ( • OH) is a good choice for sterilization and anti-infection, but endogenous H 2 O 2 is insufficient to achieve satisfactory sterilization efficacy. Despite great efforts, designing and developing antimicrobial materials that specifically and effectively self-supply H 2 O 2 at the wound site remain as tremendous challenges. Here, we report a pH-responsive copper peroxide-loaded wound dressing made from copper hydroxide and gelatin sponge and then reacted with H 2 O 2 . In vitro experiments show that the prepared wound dressing has good bactericidal properties against Escherichia coli ( E. coli ), Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( P. aeruginosa ). Moreover, the as-prepared wound dressing can release • OH specifically in the bacterial-infected skin wound, rather than in normal tissues, and in vivo skin wound-healing experiments proved that the synthesized copper peroxide-loaded gelatin sponge could combat E. coli effectively; in addition, Cu 2+ released from the gelatin sponge could stimulate angiogenesis and collagen deposition simultaneously. The study provides a strategy to improve antibacterial efficacy and reduce the toxic side effects through the release of • OH by bacterial self-activation.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Copper-containing biomaterials promote healing of infected wounds, including MRSA and Escherichia coli biofilm.

    “Additionally, copper-containing biomaterials, mostly wound dressings, have shown significant potential in promoting the healing of infected wounds [68,87,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98], including those infected with MRSA [99] and Escherichia coli biofilm [100].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
