Abstract
Many types of polymer nanofibers have been introduced as artificial extracellular matrices. Their controllable properties, such as wettability, surface charge, transparency, elasticity, porosity and surface to volume proportion, have attracted much attention. Moreover, functionalizing polymers with other bioactive components could enable the engineering of microenvironments to host cells for regenerative medical applications. In the current brief review, we focus on the most recently cited electrospun nanofibrous polymeric scaffolds and divide them into five main categories: natural polymer-natural polymer composite, natural polymer-synthetic polymer composite, synthetic polymer-synthetic polymer composite, crosslinked polymers and reinforced polymers with inorganic materials. Then, we focus on their physiochemical, biological and mechanical features and discussed the capability and efficiency of the nanofibrous scaffolds to function as the extracellular matrix to support cellular function.

Abstract
To delay acidification and deterioration during natural aging, deacidification and reinforcement of paper manuscripts have been the most important technologies to prolong the life of objects. Herein, a novel approach for the conservation of paper manuscripts is proposed using chitosan nanoparticles as Lewis base that leads to both deacidification and strengthening of paper in one-step. Chitosan nanoparticles were prepared through physical ball grinding method and characterized via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), laser particle size analyzer (LPSA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and atomic force microscope (AFM). To evaluate the resistance of chitosan nanoparticle coating, the mechanical properties of paper after artificial aging were evaluated using dry heat and hygrothermal accelerated aging methods. The SEM, EDX, and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) were used to analyze the interaction mechanism between chitosan and Shuxuan paper. The results show that the coated paper had superior durability with respect to pH, tensile strength, and folding endurance. There was a presence of protonated amines in the form of ammonium salts due to ionic bindings with free H+ in the acidified paper, and the remaining –NH2 could be used as a base reserve. Finally, the resulting coated papers displayed good antibacterial properties.

Abstract
In recent years, scaffolds produced in 3D printing technology have become more widespread tool due to providing more advantages than traditional methods in tissue engineering applications. In this research, it was aimed to produce patches for the treatment of tympanic membrane perforations which caused significant hearing loss by using 3D printing method. Polylactic acid(PLA) scaffolds with Chitosan(CS) and Sodium Alginate(SA) added in various ratios were prepared for artificial eardrum patches. Different amounts of chitosan and sodium alginate added to PLA increased the biocompatibility of the produced scaffolds. The created patches were designed by mimicking the thickness of the natural tympanic membrane thanks to the precision provided by the 3D printed method. The produced scaffolds were analyzed separately for chemical, morphological, mechanical and biocompatibility properties. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy was performed to observe the surface morphology and chemical structure of the scaffolds. Mechanical, thermal and physical properties, swelling and degradation behaviors were examined to fully analyze whole characteristic features of the samples. Cell culture study was also performed to demonstrate the biocompatibility properties of the fabricated scaffolds with human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAD-MSCs). 15 wt % PLA was selected as the control group and among all concentrations of CS and SA, groups containing 3 wt% CS and 3 wt% SA showed significantly superior and favorable features in printing quality. The research continued with these two scaffolds (3 wt% CS, and 3 wt% SA), which showed improved print quality when added to PLA. Overall, these results show that PLA/CS and PLA/SA 3D printed artificial patches have the potential to tissue engineering solutions to repair tympanic membrane perforation for people with hearing loss.

Abstract
In the past decade, the frequency of chronic wounds in older population has increased, and their impact on quality of life is substantial. Chronic wounds are a public health problem associated with very high economic and psychosocial costs. These wounds result from various pathologies and comorbidities, such arterial and venous insufficiency, diabetes mellitus and continuous skin pressure. Recently, the role of infection and biofilms in the healing of chronic wounds has been the subject of considerable research. This paper presents an overview of various methods and products used to manage chronic wounds and discusses recent advances in wound care. To decide on the best treatment for any wound, it is crucial to holistically assess the patient and the wound. Additionally, multiple strategies could be used to prevent or treat chronic wounds.

Abstract
Complete skin reconstruction is a hierarchically physiological assembly involving epidermis, dermis, vasculature, innervation, hair follicles, and sweat glands. Despite various wound dressings having been developed for skin regeneration, few works refer to the complete skin regeneration, particularly lacking for vasculatures and hair follicles. Herein, an instructive wound dressing that integrates the antibacterial property of quaternized chitin and the mechanical strength and biological multifunction of silk fibroin through layer-by-layer electrostatic self-assembly is designed and reported. The resultant dressings exhibit a nanofibrous structure ranging from 471.5 ± 212.1 to 756.9 ± 241.8 nm, suitable flexibility with tensile strength up to 4.47 ± 0.29 MPa, and broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. More interestingly, the current dressing system remarkably accelerates in vivo vascular reconstruction within 15 days, and the number of regenerated hair follicles reaches up to 22 ± 4 mm-2, which is comparable to the normal tissue (27 ± 2 mm-2). Those crucial functions might originate from the combination between quaternized chitin and silk fibroin and the hierarchical structure of electrospun nanofiber. This work establishes an easy but effective pathway to design a multifunctional wound dressing for the complete skin regeneration.

Abstract
Broad interest in developing new hemostatic technologies arises from unmet needs in mitigating uncontrolled hemorrhage in emergency, surgical, and battlefield settings. Although a variety of hemostats, sealants, and adhesives are available, development of ideal hemostatic compositions that offer a range of remarkable properties including capability to effectively and immediately manage bleeding, excellent mechanical properties, biocompatibility, biodegradability, antibacterial effect, and strong tissue adhesion properties, under wet and dynamic conditions, still remains a challenge. Benefiting from tunable mechanical properties, high porosity, biocompatibility, injectability and ease of handling, polymeric hydrogels with outstanding hemostatic properties have been receiving increasing attention over the past several years. In this review, after shedding light on hemostasis and wound healing processes, the most recent progresses in hydrogel systems engineered from natural and synthetic polymers for hemostatic applications are discussed based on a comprehensive literature review. Most studies described used in vivo models with accessible and compressible wounds to assess the hemostatic performance of hydrogels. The challenges that need to be tackled to accelerate the translation of these novel hemostatic hydrogel systems to clinical practice are emphasized and future directions for research in the field are presented.

Abstract
Chitin is a biopolymer, which has been proven to be a biomedical material candidate, yet the weak mechanical properties seriously limit their potentials. In this work, a chitin-based double-network (DN) hydrogel has been designed as a potential superficial repairing material. The hydrogel was synthesized through a double-network (DN) strategy composing hybrid regenerated chitin nanofiber (RCN)-poly (ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether) (PEGDE) as the first network and polyacrylamide (PAAm) as the second network. The hybrid RCN-PEGDE/PAAm DN hydrogel was strong and tough, possessing Young's modulus (elasticity) E 0.097 ± 0.020 MPa, fracture stress σf 0.449 ± 0.025 MPa, and work of fracture Wf 5.75 ± 0.35 MJ·m-3. The obtained DN hydrogel was strong enough for surgical requirements in the usage of soft tissue scaffolds. In addition, chitin endowed the DN hydrogel with good bacterial resistance and accelerated fibroblast proliferation, which increased the NIH3T3 cell number by nearly five times within 3 days. Subcutaneous implantation studies showed that the DN hydrogel did not induce inflammation after 4 weeks, suggesting a good biosafety in vivo. These results indicated that the hybrid RCN-PEGDE/PAAm DN hydrogel had great prospect as a rapid soft-tissue-repairing material.

Abstract
To improve the biocompatibility/biodegradability as well as to lower the cost of the popular glycosaminoglycan/collagen scaffold, a monocomponent's polysaccharide scaffold based on biomimetic chemical modification of chitin from lower organisms was developed creatively. O-Carboxymethyl chitin (O-CMCH) was prepared by chloroacetic acid substitution of alkalized chitin. The cross-linked O-CMCH soft tissue scaffold was constructed by a sol-gel freeze-drying method. The key parameters of the O-CMCH molecular structure, the degree of deacetylation (DD), and the degree of substitution (DS) were used to regulate the morphology and physical properties of the scaffold. The optimized scaffolds were implanted subcutaneously in mice, and the inflammation reaction of surrounding tissues, dermal tissue growth, and scaffold degradation were observed dynamically by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the micropores of the scaffold constructed by O-CMCH with DD = 0.53 and DS = 0.61 were uniformly distributed and in communication with each other, and the pore size was 100-150 μm, with high porosity (93.52 ± 4.68%), high swelling ratio (1402 ± 70%), and high skeleton cross-linking degree (93.4 ± 4.6%). Its tensile strength reached 0.183 ± 0.009 MPa, and its elongation at break was 18.7 ± 0.9%. Furthermore, it could be degraded to less than 10% after 16 days in phosphate buffer solution (pH = 7.4) with 0.2 mg/mL lysozymes (≥ 20 000 U/mg). The early inflammation after implanting the optimized scaffolds in mice showed no difference compared with the control. The scaffold material induced dermal tissues to grow over it and was degraded gradually in vivo. The optimized scaffold regulated by DD and DS of O-CMCH possessed suitable morphology and physical properties for soft tissue engineering technology and exhibited a high applicable value.

Abstract
Chitin, abundant biomass found in crab shells and other marine life, has wide applications in the production of food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Our recent studies have focused on the development of new functional materials by derivatizing chitin oligosaccharides and monosaccharides. For example, we have prepared various derivatives by chemoenzymatic synthesis using N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) or chitin oligosaccharide prepared from chitin as starting materials. First, we have achieved the total synthesis of two secondary metabolites (furanodictine A and B) with neuronal differentiation-inducing activity on PC12 cells by using a simple heatinduced structural transformation of GlcNAc and esterification reaction. Second, we synthesized both a novel inhibitor that has facilitated a re-examination of the reaction mechanism of hen egg-white lysozyme, and a new substrate for assaying lysozyme activity by using chitin oligosaccharides as raw materials. Thus, the development of new materials by simple derivatization of chitin mono- or oligo-saccharides is paving the way for effective use of chitin.

Abstract
This paper reports that, by simply blending two heterogeneous polysaccharide nanofibers, namely chitosan nanofiber (ChNF) and cellulose nanofiber (CNF), a ChNF–CNF composite was prepared, which exhibited improved mechanical properties and antioxidant activity. ChNF was isolated using the aqueous counter collision (ACC) method, while CNF was isolated using the combination of TEMPO oxidation and the ACC method, which resulted in smaller size of CNF than that of ChNF. The prepared composite was characterized in terms of morphologies, FT-IR, UV visible, thermal stability, mechanical properties, hygroscopic behaviors, and antioxidant activity. The composite was flexible enough to be bent without cracking. Better UV-light protection was shown at higher content of ChNF in the composite. The high ChNF content showed the highest antioxidant activity in the composite. It is the first time that a simple combination of ChNF–CNF composites fabrication showed good mechanical properties and antioxidant activities. In this study, the reinforcement effect of the composite was addressed. The ChNF–CNF composite is promising for active food packaging application.

Abstract
In this work, a bilayer chitosan/sodium alginate scaffold was prepared via a needleless electrospinning technique. The layer of sodium alginate was electrospun over the layer of chitosan. The introduction of partially deacetylated chitin nanowhiskers (CNW) stabilized the electrospinning and increased the spinnability of the sodium alginate solution. A CNW concentration of 7.5% provided optimal solution viscosity and structurization due to electrostatic interactions and the formation of a polyelectrolyte complex. This allowed electrospinning of defectless alginate nanofibers with an average diameter of 200-300 nm. The overall porosity of the bilayer scaffold was slightly lower than that of a chitosan monolayer, while the average pore size of up to 2 μm was larger for the bilayer scaffold. This high porosity promoted mesenchymal stem cell proliferation. The cells formed spherical colonies on the chitosan nanofibers, but formed flatter colonies and monolayers on alginate nanofibers. The fabricated chitosan/sodium alginate bilayer material was deemed promising for tissue engineering applications.

Drawbacks of Low Lattice Energy Ammonium Salts for Ion-Conducting Polymer Electrolyte Preparation: Structural, Morphological and Electrical Characteristics of CS:PEO:NH 4BF 4-Based Polymer Blend Electrolytes. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:E1885. [PMID: 32825679 PMCID: PMC7564181 DOI: 10.3390/polym12091885] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2020] [Revised: 08/15/2020] [Accepted: 08/17/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
In the present work it was shown that low lattice energy ammonium salts are not favorable for polymer electrolyte preparation for electrochemical device applications. Polymer blend electrolytes based on chitosan:poly(ethylene oxide) (CS:PEO) incorporated with various amounts of low lattice energy NH4BF4ammonium salt have been prepared using the solution cast technique. Both structural and morphological studies were carried out to understand the phenomenon of ion association. Sharp peaks appeared in X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra of the samples with high salt concentration. The degree of crystallinity increased from 8.52 to 65.84 as the salt concentration increased up to 40 wt.%. These are correlated to the leakage of the associated anions and cations of the salt to the surface of the polymer. The structural behaviors were further confirmed by morphological study. The morphological results revealed the large-sized protruded salts at high salt concentration. Based on lattice energy of salts, the phenomena of salt leakage were interpreted. Ammonium salts with lattice energy lower than 600 kJ/mol are not preferred for polymer electrolyte preparation due to the significant tendency of ion association among cations and anions. Electrical impedance spectroscopy was used to estimate the conductivity of the samples. It was found that the bulk resistance increased from 1.1 × 104 ohm to 0.7 × 105 ohm when the salt concentration raised from 20 wt.% to 40 wt.%, respectively; due to the association of cations and anions. The low value of direct current (DC) conductivity (7.93 × 10-7 S/cm) addressed the non-suitability of the electrolytes for electrochemical device applications. The calculated values of the capacitance over the interfaces of electrodes-electrolytes (C2) were found to drop from 1.32 × 10-6 F to 3.13 × 10-7 F with increasing salt concentration. The large values of dielectric constant at low frequencies are correlated to the electrode polarization phenomena while their decrements with rising frequency are attributed to the lag of ion polarization in respect of the fast orientation of the applied alternating current (AC) field. The imaginary part of the electric modulus shows obvious peaks known as conduction relaxation peaks.

The Potential of Insects as Alternative Sources of Chitin: An Overview on the Chemical Method of Extraction from Various Sources. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21144978. [PMID: 32679639 PMCID: PMC7404258 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21144978] [Citation(s) in RCA: 53] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2019] [Revised: 02/05/2020] [Accepted: 02/17/2020] [Indexed: 01/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Chitin, being the second most abundant biopolymer after cellulose, has been gaining popularity since its initial discovery by Braconot in 1811. However, fundamental knowledge and literature on chitin and its derivatives from insects are difficult to obtain. The most common and sought-after sources of chitin are shellfish (especially crustaceans) and other aquatic invertebrates. The amount of shellfish available is obviously restricted by the amount of food waste that is allowed; hence, it is a limited resource. Therefore, insects are the best choices since, out of 1.3 million species in the world, 900,000 are insects, making them the most abundant species in the world. In this review, a total of 82 samples from shellfish—crustaceans and mollusks (n = 46), insects (n = 23), and others (n = 13)—have been collected and studied for their chemical extraction of chitin and its derivatives. The aim of this paper is to review the extraction method of chitin and chitosan for a comparison of the optimal demineralization and deproteinization processes, with a consideration of insects as alternative sources of chitin. The methods employed in this review are based on comprehensive bibliographic research. Based on previous data, the chitin and chitosan contents of insects in past studies favorably compare and compete with those of commercial chitin and chitosan—for example, 45% in Bombyx eri, 36.6% in Periostracum cicadae (cicada sloughs), and 26.2% in Chyrysomya megacephala. Therefore, according to the data reported by previous researchers, demonstrating comparable yield values to those of crustacean chitin and the great interest in insects as alternative sources, efforts towards comprehensive knowledge in this field are relevant.

Abstract
Marine resources have considerable potential to develop high-value materials for applications in different fields, namely pharmaceutical, environmental, and biomedical. Despite that, the lack of solubility of marine-derived polymers in water and common organic solvents could restrict their applications. In the last years, ionic liquids (ILs) have emerged as platforms able to overcome those drawbacks, opening many routes to enlarge the use of marine-derived polymers as biomaterials, among other applications. From this perspective, ILs can be used as an efficient extraction media for polysaccharides from marine microalgae and wastes (e.g., crab shells, squid, and skeletons) or as solvents to process them in different shapes, such as films, hydrogels, nano/microparticles, and scaffolds. The resulting architectures can be applied in wound repair, bone regeneration, or gene and drug delivery systems. This review is focused on the recent research on the applications of ILs as processing platforms of biomaterials derived from marine polymers.

Abstract
Chitosan nanofibrous membranes have immense potential in tissue engineering and drug delivery applications because of their increased surface area, high degree of biocompatibility, and their ability to mimic the extracellular matrix. However, their use is often limited due to their extreme hydrophilic nature causing them to lose their nanofibrous structure in vivo. In the present study, chitosan membranes were modified either by acylation reactions using fatty acids of different chain lengths or tert-butyloxycarbonyl (tBOC) protecting groups to increase the hydrophobicity of the membranes and protect the nanofibrous structure. The modified membranes were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, water contact angle and elemental analysis to confirm the addition of the modification groups. These membranes were then evaluated to control the release of a hydrophobic osteogenic drug-simvastatin (SMV). The interaction between SMV and the polymer was determined using molecular modeling. Pure SMV and SMV loaded membranes were examined for their in vitro cytotoxicity and osteogenic potential using preosteoblast mouse bone marrow stromal cells. From results, it was evident that as the fatty acid chain length increased from two to six methylene groups, the hydrophobicity of the membranes increased (59.2 ± 8.2° to 94.3 ± 8.5° water contact angle). The amount of drug released from the membranes could be controlled by changing the amount of initial drug loaded and/or the type of modifications. After 4 weeks, for a 500 μg loading, the short chain fatty acid modified membranes released 17.8 ± 3.2% of the drug whereas a long chain fatty acid released only 4.8 ± 0.8%. Similarly, for a 50 μg loading, short chain modified membranes released more (73.3 ± 33.3%) of the loaded drug as compared to the long chain membranes (43.0 ± 3.5%). The long chain fatty acid membranes released SMV for extended time periods of up to 90 days. This data was further supported by molecular modeling, which revealed that SMV was more compatible with more hydrophobic membranes. Cell studies showed that pure SMV from 75 to 600 ng/ml range possessed osteogenic potential in a dose dependent manner and the amount of SMV released from the most hydrophobic FA treated membranes was not cytotoxic and supported osteogenic differentiation. Therefore, this study demonstrates our ability to control the release of a hydrophobic drug from modified chitosan membranes as per the clinical need.

Abstract
In recent years, there was an abrupt increase in the incidence of renal tumors, which prompt up the appearance of cutting-edge technology, including minimally invasive and organ-preserving approaches, such as laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN). LPN is an innovative technique used to treat small renal masses that have been gaining popularity in the last few decades due to its promissory results. However, the bleeding control remains the main challenge since the majority of currently available hemostatic agents (HAs) used in other surgical specialities are inefficient in LPN. This hurried the search for effective HAs adapted for LPN surgical peculiarities, which resulted on the emergence of different types of topical HAs. The most promising are the natural origin HAs because of their inherent biodegradability, biocompatibility, and lowest toxicity. These properties turn them top interests' candidates as HAs in LPN. In this review, we present a deep overview on the progress achieved in the design of HAs based on natural origin polymers, highlighting their distinguishable characteristics and providing a clear understanding of their hemostat's role in LPN. This way it may be possible to establish a structure-composition properties relation, so that novel HAs for LPN can be designed to explore current unmet medical needs.

Abstract
Chitosan is a natural polymer widely investigated and used due to its antibacterial activity, mucoadhesive, analgesic, and hemostatic properties. Its biocompatibility makes chitosan a favorable candidate for different applications in tissue engineering (TE), such as skin, bone, and cartilage tissue regeneration. Despite promising results obtained with chitosan 3D scaffolds, significant challenges persist in fabricating hydrogel structures with ordered architectures and biological properties to mimic native tissues. In this work, chitosan has been investigated aiming at designing and fabricating uniaxial scaffolds which can be proposed for the regeneration of anisotropic tissues (i.e., skin, skeletal muscle, myocardium) by 3D printing technology. Chitosan was blended with gelatin to form a polyelectrolyte complex in two different ratios, to improve printability and shape retention. After the optimization of the printing process parameters, different crosslinking conditions were investigated, and the 3D printed samples were characterized. Tripolyphosphate (TPP) was used as crosslinker for chitosan-based scaffolds. For the optimization of the printing temperature, the sol-gel temperature of the chitosan-gelatin blend was determined by rheological measurements and extrusion temperature was set to 20°C (i.e., below sol-gel temperature). The shape fidelity and surface morphology of the 3D printed scaffolds after crosslinking was dependent on crosslinking conditions. Interestingly, mechanical properties of the scaffolds were also significantly affected by the crosslinking conditions, nonetheless the stability of the scaffolds was strongly determined by the content of gelatin in the blend. Lastly, in vitro cytocompatibility test was performed to evaluate the interactions between L929 cells and the 3D printed samples. 2% w/v chitosan and 4% w/v gelatin hydrogel scaffolds crosslinked with 10% TPP, 30 min at 4°C following 30 min at 37°C have shown cytocompatible and stable characteristics, compared to all other tested conditions, showing suitable properties for the regeneration of anisotropic tissues.

Abstract
Because of numerous inherent and unrivaled features of nanofibers made of chitin, the second most plentiful natural-based polymer (after cellulose), including affordability, abundant nature, biodegradability, biocompatibility, commercial availability, flexibility, transparency, and extraordinary mechanical and physicochemical properties, chitin nanofibers (ChNFs) are being applied as one of the most appealing bionanomaterials in a myriad of fields. Herein, we exploited the beneficial properties offered by the ChNF paper to fabricate transparent, efficient, biocompatible, flexible, and miniaturized optical sensing bioplatforms via embedding/immobilizing various plasmonic nanoparticles (silver and gold nanoparticles), photoluminescent nanoparticles (CdTe quantum dots, carbon dots, and NaYF4:Yb3+@Er3+&SiO2 upconversion nanoparticles) along with colorimetric reagents (curcumin, dithizone, etc.) in the 3D nanonetwork scaffold of the ChNF paper. Several configurations, including 2D multi-wall and 2D cuvette patterns with hydrophobic barriers/walls and hydrophilic test zones/channels, were easily printed using laser printing technology or punched as spot patterns on the dried ChNF paper-based nanocomposites to fabricate the (bio)sensing platforms. A variety of (bio)chemicals as model analytes were used to confirm the efficiency and applicability of the fabricated ChNF paper-based sensing bioplatforms. The developed (bio)sensors were also coupled with smartphone technology to take the advantages of smartphone-based monitoring/sensing devices along with the Internet of Nano Things (IoNT)/the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) concepts for easy-to-use sensing applications. Building upon the unrivaled and inherent features of ChNF as a very promising bionanomaterial, we foresee that the ChNF paper-based sensing bioplatforms will emerge new opportunities for the development of innovative strategies to fabricate cost-effective, simple, smart, transparent, biodegradable, miniaturized, flexible, portable, and easy-to-use (bio)sensing/monitoring devices.

Abstract
Fibrous chitin dressing (FCD) prepared from a NaOH-urea aqueous solution of chitin via a physical process was used to study its effect on wound healing using a full-thickness cutaneous wound model in rats and mice. It was demonstrated that wounds in rats covered with the FCD showed faster collagen (especially type I collagen) growth and speedier healing than those with Gauze (12 days versus 16 days). The ability of FCD to promote wound healing was also observed on wild-type (WT) mice. For MyD88-knockout mice, however, FCD displayed no beneficial but an adverse effect on wound healing: the healing time for wounds treated with FCD was even longer than those treated with gauze. Importantly, in vivo studies indicated that FCD-treated mice, compared to gauze-treated ones, exhibited markedly higher expressions of MyD88, IKBα, TGF-β, P-TβR II, TβR II and P-Smad2/3 in wild-type mice. For MyD88 knockout mice, however, the expressions of those molecules were inhibited and lowered in FCD-treated ones than those treated with gauze. In vitro studies confirmed that chitin increased the expression of TGF-β, P-TβRII and P-Smad2/3 while the expressions of those molecules were significantly inhibited with CD14 antibody (p < 0.05). These results indicated that FCD accelerated wound healing through a MyD88-dependent pathway, followed by a TGF-β/Smad pathway. This work not only demonstrated the superior wound healing effect of chitin-derived dressing, but also provided for the first time the underlying molecular mechanism, further establishing chitin as an important biomedical material for potential clinical applications.

Abstract
A novel magnetic microsphere was prepared by simple microemulsion polymerization for protein drug delivery systems. The Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were successfully encapsulated in chitosan microspheres, which endowed the chitosan microspheres with good magnetism. The drug loading performance results indicated that the prepared magnetic chitosan microspheres exhibited a superior drug loading capacity, and the drug loading amount reached 947.01 mg g-1. Furthermore, the magnetic chitosan microspheres also showed a higher drug release rate (87.8%) and evident sustained-release performance in vitro. The magnetic microsphere carrier will be widely used in the biomedical field as a promising drug carrier.

Statistical Experimental Design Optimization of Microbial Proteases Production under Co-Culture Conditions for Chitin Recovery from Speckled Shrimp Metapenaeus monoceros By-Product. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:3707804.

Abstract
This study was designed with the aim to produce microbial proteases in presence of speckled shrimp by-product. For this reason, three strains belonging to Bacillus genus, namely, Aeribacillus pallidus VP3, Lysinibacillus fusiformis C250R, and Anoxybacillus kamchatkensis M1V were studied under co-culture procedure. A Taguchi L27 experimental design was applied to optimize the co-culture parameters. The experimental design was built with 9 factors (by-product powder concentration, the pH of the medium, the temperature, the sucrose concentration, the agitation speed, the inoculum sizes of VP3, M1V, and C250R strains, and the culture volume) at three different levels. The obtained results showed that a total protease activity of 8,182 U/mL could be achieved after 24 h of incubation in presence of 20 g/L shrimp by-product and 10 g/L sucrose, at an initial pH of 7, a 40°C temperature and absorbance, at 600 nm, of inoculum sizes of 0.1, 0.3, and 0.1 for VP3, M1V, and C250R strains, respectively. The agitation was set at 200 rpm, and the final volume was 25 mL. Taguchi's design allowed the identification of temperature, the inoculum size for strain VP3, the inoculum size for strain M1V, and the final culture volume as the most influencing variables. A Box-Behnken design with 27 experiments was carried out for the optimization of these four selected factors. Following such design, the highest protease production reached was 11,300 U/mL. This yield was obtained in a final culture volume of 15 mL containing 20 g/L shrimp by-product powder and 10 g/L sucrose and inoculated with VP3, C250R, and M1V strains at 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2, respectively. The flasks were incubated at 45°C for 24 h with shaking at 200 rpm. The efficiency of chitin extraction by co-cultivation was investigated under the latter conditions. The chitin yield from shells by-product was 16.7%. Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis of the obtained chitin displayed characteristic profiles similar to that of the commercial α-chitin.

Abstract
A chitosan nanofiber (CsNF)-catalyzed Knoevenagel reaction in green solvent, namely aqueous methanol, was investigated. CsNFs solely catalyzed the desired C–C bond formations in high yield with high selectivity, while conventional small-molecule amines, such as n-hexylamine and triethylamine, inevitably promoted transesterification to produce a large amount of solvolysis byproducts. Structural and chemical analyses of CsNFs suggested that the unique nanoarchitecture, in which chitosan molecules were bundled to ensure the high accessibility of substrates to catalytic sites, was critical to the highly efficient Knoevenagel condensation. The products were obtained in high purity without solvent-consuming purification, and the CsNF catalyst was easily removed and recycled. This study highlights a novel and promising function of CsNFs in green catalysis as emerging polysaccharide-based nanofibers. Chitosan nanofibers bearing abundant and accessible amines exposed on the solid surface catalyze a highly selective Knoevenagel condensation in green solvent, which completely avoids the formation of solvolysis byproducts.![]()

Abstract
Application of growth factors at wound site has improved the efficiency and quality of healing. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) induce proliferation of various cells in wound healing. Delivery of growth factor from controlled release systems protect it from degradation and also result in sustained delivery of it at the site of injury. The goal of the study was to develop a Polyethylene glycol (PEG) cross-linked cotton-like chitosan scaffold (CS-PEG-H) by freeze-drying method and chemically conjugate heparin to the scaffold to which the growth factors can be electrostatically bound and evaluate its wound healing properties in vitro and in vivo. The growth factor containing scaffolds induced increased proliferation of HaCaT cells, increased neovascularization and collagen formation seen by H and E and Masson's trichrome staining. Immunohistochemistry was performed using the Ki67 marker which increased proliferation of cells in growth factor containing scaffold treated group. Frequent dressing changes are a major deterrent to proper wound healing. Our system was found to release both VEGF and bFGF in a continuous manner and attained stability after 7 days. Thus our system can maintain therapeutic levels of growth factor at the wound bed thereby avoiding the need for daily applications and frequent dressing changes. Thus, it can be a promising candidate for wound healing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The high surface-to-volume ratio of polymeric nanofibers makes them an effective vehicle for the release of bioactive molecules and compounds such as growth factors, drugs, herbal extracts and gene sequences. Synthetic polymers are commonly used as sensors, reinforcements and energy storage, whereas natural polymers are more prone to mimicking an extracellular matrix. Natural polymers are a renewable resource and classified as an environmentally friendly material, which might be used in different techniques to produce nanofibers for biomedical applications such as tissue engineering, implantable medical devices, antimicrobial barriers and wound dressings, among others. This review sheds some light on the advantages of natural over synthetic polymeric materials for nanofiber production. Also, the most important techniques employed to produce natural nanofibers are presented. Moreover, some pieces of evidence regarding toxicology and cell-interactions using natural nanofibers are discussed. Clearly, the potential extrapolation of such laboratory results into human health application should be addressed cautiously.

Abstract
Chitosanase plays an important role in the production of chitooligosaccharides (CHOS), which possess various biological activities. Herein, a glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 46 chitosanase-encoding gene, csnB, was cloned from marine bacterium Bacillus sp. BY01 and heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant chitosanase, CsnB, was optimally active at 35 °C and pH 5.0. It was also revealed to be a cold-adapted enzyme, maintaining 39.5% and 40.4% of its maximum activity at 0 and 10 °C, respectively. Meanwhile, CsnB showed wide pH-stability within the range of pH 3.0 to 7.0. Then, an improved reaction condition was built to enhance its thermostability with a final glycerol volume concentration of 20%. Moreover, CsnB was determined to be an endo-type chitosanase, yielding chitosan disaccharides and trisaccharides as the main products. Overall, CsnB provides a new choice for enzymatic CHOS production.

Abstract
Electrical discharge plasma occurring in a liquid phase, so called solution plasma, can generate highly active species, e.g. free radicals, which can involve in various chemical reactions, leading to less chemical uses. In this study, solution plasma was applied to deacetylation of chitin aiming to reduce the use of alkali. It was found that solution plasma could induce deacetylation of chitin hydrogels that were dispersed in MeOH/water solutions containing low NaOH concentrations (1-12%). Due to the action of free radicals, some extent of chain session of the polymer occurred during the plasma treatment. The degree of deacetylation and molecular weight of the obtained chitosan were 78% and 220 kDa, respectively, after the plasma treatment for five cycles (1 h/cycle) by using 90% MeOH/water solution containing 12% NaOH. The obtained chitosan could completely dissolve in 2% acetic acid solution and had antibacterial activities against S. aureus and E. coli.

Abstract
Metformin (MET) was effectively encapsulated into O-carboxymethyl chitosan (O-CMC) polymeric formulation using an experimental design method. Six factors Plackett-Burman (PB) design was utilized to find the significant process parameters. Linear equations used to study the effect of each process parameters on particle size (PS), encapsulation efficiency (EE), and zeta potential (ZP) and the most influential three factors decided for further optimization. Optimization was carried out by implementing three-factor three-level Box-Behnken (BB) design. Mathematical models were generated by regression analysis for responses of PS, EE, and ZP. Two-step experimental design took into account for the preparation of optimized formulation with maximum %EE (72.78 ± 9.7%) and minimum PS (225.67 ± 5.53 nm) at optimum process conditions with a ZP of -5.22 mV for the nano-polymeric formulation in an economical matter by reduction chemical use and formulation time. Furthermore, the biological activity of the final formulation was determined by in vitro cytotoxicity study compared to free MET. The cytotoxicity result reveals that both pure drug and nano-formulation biocompatible with MCF10A non-tumorigenic cell line and lethal for the MCF7 cell line. These in vitro results were the first helpful step to further investigate O-CMC loaded MET nanoparticles in diagnostic and therapeutic applications of breast cancer.
