Chitosan, a hydrophilic biopolymer industrially obtained by N-deacetylation of chitin, can be applied as an antimicrobial agent. It highlights the applications of chitosan as an antimicrobial agent against fungi, bacteria, and viruses and as an elicitor of plant defense mechanisms. A series of novel chitosan-sulfathiazole nanocomposite (CSFZ) films were prepared by using solvent casting method for wound healing application. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was employed to ascertain the interaction between negatively charged sulfathiazole and positively charged chitosan. Moreover, the antibacterial activity of the films was investigated against gram positive and gram negative microorganisms. It was found that all CSFZ films showed good inhibitory activity against all the tested bacteria as compared to control. The above analysis suggested that the CSFZ films could be used as potential candidates for wound healing application.

Conyza canadensis (L.) Cronquist (CCL) has been used by K’Ho minority in Bidoup Nui Ba national park, Lam Dong province, Vietnam as one of wound healing remedies. However, the scientific proof of treatment is still unclear. This study aimed to evaluate this wound healing potential of CCL. CCL power was extracted by ethanol and then partitioned consecutively with petroleum ether, ethyl acetate and water. Wound healing potential was evaluated by antibacterial activity, stimulation of fibroblast and keratinocyte proliferation. Agar-well diffusion was used in the antibacterial tests and the results showed that CCL had antibacterial activity against 02 dermatitis bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus) and 02 opportunistic infection bacteria (Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis). Moreover, our results illustrated that CCL stimulated the fibroblast and keratinocyte proliferation compared to the control. Particularly, the fibroblast division increased 1.6 times at 31.25 µg/mL when treated by ethanolic extract, while ethyl acetate fraction showed 1.7 times increase at 10 µg/mL in keratinocyte proliferation compared to the control. Taken together, our study contributed scientific base of CCL in the wound healing.

Hydrogels donate moisture to dehydrated tissue and absorb some moisture and accepted in wound healing. Polypropylene (PP) SMS nonwovens were grafted polyacrylic acid (PAA) hydrogel technique contanining chitosan to enhance hydrophilicity and antibacterial activity. In the first stage, nonwovens were hydroxylated by treatment with aqueous potassium peroxydisulfate solution under a strong flow of nitrogen. In the second stage, the hydroxylated nonwovens were subjected to grafting of acrylic acid using cerric ammonium nitrate as an initiator. Subsequently, chitosan was grafted onto the modified NWs with N,N'-Methylenebisacrylamide. The modified nonwovens were characterized by XPS spectroscopy and SEM, the results showed that acrylic acid was copolymerized and hydrogel grafted onto SMS nonwovens. Hydrogel grafted nonwovens exhibited enhanced wettability and water absorption ability. With introduce of chitosan further, the modified NWs exhibited effectively antibacterial activity against E.coli.
