Abstract: Objective: A self-assembled small peptide RADARADARADARADA (RADA16-1)can form a long fiber hydrogel,which has the function of surgical hemostasis,to explore the long fiber assemble dynamics and hemostasis mechanism of peptide RADA16-1. Methods: Through circular dichroism spectrum,atomic force characterization and rheological mechanics analysis,kinetics of long fiber self-assemble had been studied. Hemostatic models of spinal cord injury and liver trauma were established to study the effect of blooding control. Results:The results of circular dichroism spectrum indicated that RADA16-1 in solution was beta folding characteristics both before and after ultrasound. The results of atomic force characterization and rheological mechanics analysis showed that RADA16-1 can self-assemble into long fiber which length was about(786. 34 ± 96. 54)nm,and the long fiber assembled process of RADA16-1 was positively associated with time after ultrasound. Meanwhile,a negative correlation was detected between the long fiber length and the bleeding time in animal models. Conclusion:The small peptide RADA16-1 solution can rapidly situ hydrogelize to long fiber form,can be used in surgery as hemostatic.

Key words: RADA16-1, hemostasis, circular dichroism, atomic force microscopy, rheology
