“…3,6 Dressings An ideal dressing for a burn wound promotes wound healing, provides topical antimicrobial cover and is non-adherent, making removal of dressings less traumatic and more tolerable. 7,8 The aim is to provide an environment that encourages the burn to heal within 14 days, thereby reducing the risk of poor scarring. 9 Dressing recommendations vary among burn specialists and between burns units.…”

Introduction:The prognosis for severe burns has improved significantly over the past 50 years. Meanwhile, burns have become an affliction mainly affecting the less well-developed regions of the world. Early excision and skin grafting has led to major improvements in therapeutic outcomes. Areas covered:The purpose of this article is to survey the use of pharmacotherapy to treat different pathophysiological complications of burn injury. The author, herein, discusses the use of drug treatments for a number of systemic metabolic disturbances including hyperglycemia, elevated catabolism, and gluconeogenesis. Expert opinion:Advancements in personalized and molecular medicine will make an impact on burn therapy. Similarities between severe burns and other critically ill patients will lead to crossfertilization between different medical specialties. Furthermore, advances in stem cells and tissue regeneration will lead to improved healing and less lifelong disability. Indeed, research in new drug therapy for burns is actively progressing for many different complications.

“…However, more demands on an ideal wound dressing have been raised recently, such as being comfortable, durable, nonirritant, nonadherent and effortlessly removed without trauma, no delayed step in the wound healing process, releasing mediators and antimicrobials for wound healing, and so on. 6,7 However, most existing wound dressings only bear single biological activity, which limits the multiple promoting effects on wound healing. Therefore, it is in high demand to develop a multifunctional bioactive and smart wound dressing that can accelerate the wound closure, promote the wound healing, and reduce the formation of a scar.…”

“…Wound dressings have long been used to aid healing by providing a physical barrier against infection, maintaining a moist environment, and absorbing exudates around the wound. , An ideal wound dressing must meet the following criteria: (i) adsorb and remove the exudate and toxins, (ii) keep high moisture at the dressing-wound interface, (iii) allow gaseous exchange, (iv) provide thermal insulation, (v) avoid secondary infection, and (vi) have no cytotoxicity. However, more demands on an ideal wound dressing have been raised recently, such as being comfortable, durable, nonirritant, nonadherent and effortlessly removed without trauma, no delayed step in the wound healing process, releasing mediators and antimicrobials for wound healing, and so on. , However, most existing wound dressings only bear single biological activity, which limits the multiple promoting effects on wound healing.

Natural Polymer-Based Antimicrobial Hydrogels without Synthetic Antibiotics as Wound Dressings

et al. 2020

Wound healing is usually accompanied by bacterial infection. The excessive use of synthetic antibiotics leads to drug resistance, posing a significant threat to human health. Hydrogel-based wound dressings aimed at mitigating bacterial infections have emerged as an effective wound treatment. The review presented herein particularly focuses on the hydrogels originating from natural polymers. To further enhance the performance of wound dressings, various strategies and approaches have been developed to endow the hydrogels with excellent broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. Those that are summarized in the current review are the hydrogels with intrinsic or stimuli-triggered bactericidal properties and others that serve as vehicles for loading antibacterial agents without synthetic antibiotics. Specific attention is paid to antimicrobial mechanisms and the antibacterial performance of hydrogels. Practical antibacterial applications to accelerate the wound healing employing these antibiotic-free hydrogels are also introduced along with the discussion on the current challenges and perspectives leading to new technologies.
