Schematic representation of the preparation of D-CeO2 and its anti-inflammatory/anti-fibrotic mechanism. D-CeO2 was synthesized by the precipitation method, and the color of the solution changed from yellow to dark brown during the synthetic process. Orally administered of D-CeO2 to mice by chitosan/alginate hydrogel. In the site of colitis, the hydrogel collapsed to release D-CeO2. On the one hand, D-CeO2 played a role in promoting the repair of damaged tissues by scavenging ROS. On the other hand, it alleviated fibrosis by decreasing the levels of fibrosis-related cytokines
