Gallic acid: design of a pyrogallol-containing hydrogel and its biomedical applications.

Polyphenol hydrogels have garnered widespread attention due to their excellent adhesion, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties. Gallic acid (GA) is a typical derivative of pyrogallol that is used as a hydrogel crosslinker or bioactive additive and can be used to make multifunctional hydrogels with properties superior to those of widely studied catechol hydrogels. Furthermore, compared to polymeric tannic acid, gallic acid is more suitable for chemical modification, thus broadening its range of applications. This review focuses on multifunctional hydrogels containing GA, aiming to inspire researchers in future biomaterial design. We first revealed the interaction mechanisms between GA molecules and between GA and polymers, analyzed the characteristics GA imparts to hydrogels and compared GA hydrogels with hydrogels containing catechol. Subsequently, in this paper, various methods of integrating GA into hydrogels and the applications of GA in biomedicine are discussed, finally assessing the current limitations and future development potential of GA. In summary, GA, a natural small molecule polyphenol with excellent functionality and diverse interaction modes, has great potential in the field of biomedical hydrogels.

Early clinical evaluation of dental implants in patients with chronic localized periodontitis / 实用口腔医学杂志

Objective:To investigate the clinical results of implantation in patients with chronic localized periodontitis.Methods: 21 patients with chronic localized periodontitis who received 57 implants were studed.The patients were followed up for one year after implants loading.Results: There were 4 implantation failures.Another 53 implants had a good osseointegration.The success rate was 92.98%.The marginal bone resorption was about(0.77?0.32) mm after one year loading.Conclusion: The clinical outcome of dental implants in selected group of patients with well-controlled chronic localize periodontitis is satisfying.Further investigations and clinical trials is needed to determine the long-term survival of implants in patients with chronic localize periodontitis.
