摘要：Cortical electrodes are a powerful tool for the stimulation and/or recording of electrical activity in the nervous ***,the inevitable wound caused by surgical implantation of electrodes presents bacterial infection and inflammatory reaction risks associated with foreign body ***,inflammation of the wound area can dramatically worsen in response to bacterial *** consequences can not only lead to the failure of cortical electrode implantation but also threaten the lives of ***,we prepared a hydrogel made of bacterial cellulose(BC),a flexible substrate for cortical electrodes,and further loaded antibiotic tetracycline(TC)and the anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone(DEX)onto *** encapsulated drugs can be released from the BC hydrogel and effectively inhibit the growth of Gram-negative and Gram-positive ***,therapeutic cortical electrodes were developed by integrating the drug-loaded BC hydrogel and nine-channel serpentine arrays;these were used to record electrocorticography(ECoG)signals in a rat *** to the controlled release of TC and DEX from the BC hydrogel substrate,therapeutic cortical electrodes can alleviate or prevent symptoms associated with the bacterial infection and inflammation of brain *** approach facilitates the development of drug delivery electrodes for resolving complications caused by implantable electrodes.
