Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is acknowledged as an immunosuppressive neoplasm, whereby the inactive microenvironment facilitates immune tolerance and evasion of HCC. Post‐surgical resected liver cancer exhibits a proclivity for relapse, rendering prevention recurrence challenging it may transpire at any point subsequent to surgery. Among various anti‐recurrence interventions, primary clinical approach involving administration regimens atezolizumab bevacizumab (A+T) deemed most efficacious in reversing tumor microenvironment, albeit still lacking complete satisfaction. Therefore, objective utilize recently developed block copolymer protective carrier two specific monoclonal antibody drugs. Subsequently, modified hemostatic hydrogel will be synthesized application during hepatic The immunotherapy impact this significantly prolonged intensified due combined hemostasis properties controlled release constituents within nanocomposite hydrogel. Furthermore, these hydrogels exhibit remarkable efficacy preventing postoperative wound bleeding substantially enhancing safety resection. This research on system presents novel therapeutic addressing local cancer, potentially offering substantial contribution field surgical treatment future.

Abstract Tumor recurrence and wound infection present significant challenges to patient recovery following surgery, underscoring the need for effective therapeutic strategies improve prognosis by mitigating these complications. This study introduces novel synthesis methods honeycomb‐like CuMnOx nanozymes CuO 2 nanoflowers with multienzymatic activity pH‐responsive properties. The enzymatic activities of can be regulated pH changes in tumor or microenvironments, while overcome limitation insufficient endogenous H O release ROS weakly acidic conditions. To realize their synergistic effects, nanozymes, along photothermal agent IR820, are co‐assembled into low‐melting point agarose solution, forming a thermosensitive nanozyme‐based hydrogel (CuMnOx@CuO @IR820 hydrogel, CMCI Gel), which facilitates controlled drug delivery exerts enhanced efficiency under low‐temperature therapy (LTPTT, <48 °C). In vitro vivo studies demonstrated that Gel effectively ablated cells range bacteria, including drug‐resistant bacteria like MRSA . Furthermore, it reduces inflammation, promotes vascular regeneration collagen deposition, accelerates healing. injectability thermosensitivity allow localized treatment, minimizing systemic side effects. Overall, benefits highlight as promising adjunctive prevent postsurgery infection.

Adoptive natural killer cell therapy (ANKCT) harbors great potential for combating postsurgical hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence, but its efficacy is limited by tumor microenvironment (TME)-meditated repression on NK function and insufficient homing to sites. Therefore, herein we develop a nanocomposite sprayable self-gelling powder enabling liver-localized codelivery of three FDA-approved drugs including calcitriol (Cal), gemcitabine (Gem), tazemetostat (Taz) address these challenges. This can be laparoscopically spread liver wound sites, where it rapidly absorbs interfacial liquid form bulk adhesive pressure-resistant hydrogel in situ, implying application minimally surgery. Moreover, resection bed significantly sensitizes allogenic EpCAM chimeric antigen receptor modified-NK-92 (EpCAM-CAR-NK) infusion prevent HCC recurrence orthotopic Heap1-6 tumor-bearing patient-derived xenograft (PDX) murine models. Additionally, this allow an effective hemostatic effect rat porcine models due powerful tissue adhesion-seal erythrocyte-aggregating effects. Altogether, our newly developed sensitize ANKCT combat manner compatible with surgical treatment HCC.
