| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Macrophages (Mφ) play an important role in the biological switching between chronic inflammation and tissue repair healing. Local release of pioglitazone enhanced the ratio of healing Mφ(M2) to inflammatory Mφ(M1), resulting a promoted healing process. Mφ were prepared through the interleukins stimulation of mouse bone marrow cells. When Mφ were incubated with hydrogels of pioglitazone release, the secretion of arginaseⅠas a marker of M2 macrophages enhanced. After applied into the skin defect of diabetic mice, the hydrogels of pioglitazone release enhanced the M2/M1 ratio at the defect and promoted the wound healing of skin.
