"One-stop" synergistic strategy for hepatocellular carcinoma postoperative recurrence.

ABSTRACT: Residual tumor recurrence after surgical resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a considerable challenge that imperils the prognosis of patients. Notably, intraoperative bleeding and postoperative infection are potential risk factors for tumor recurrence. However, the biomaterial strategy for the above problems has rarely been reported. Herein, a series of cryogels (coded as SQ-n) based on sodium alginate (SA) and quaternized chitosan (QC) were synthesized and selected for optimal ratios. The in vitro assays showed that SQ-50 possessed superior hemostasis, excellent antibacterial property, and great cytocompatibility. Subsequently, SQAP was constructed by loading black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNSs) and anlotinib hydrochloride (AL3818) based on SQ-50. Physicochemical exp
