Abstract
The goal of this work is to encapsulate Eucalyptus staigeriana essential oil in biopolymer matrices, to optimize the biological effects and the antibacterial properties of this oil. In this study, Eucalyptus extract was encapsulated in Aloe Vera coated Dextran Sulfate/Chitosan nanoparticles to form a hydrogel with potent properties. In this study, Eucalyptus extract was loaded on to Aloe Vera coated Dextran Sulphate/Chitosan nanoparticles to obtain a nano-hydrogel with potent properties. The characterization of nanoparticles was evaluated using transmission and scanning electron microscopes, dynamic light scattering, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and antibacterial activity. The E. staigeriana release profile from the prepared nanoparticles was studied in vitro at a pH of 7.4. The results showed that this nano-carrier controls Eucalyptus release. Aloe Vera coated Dextran Sulfate/Chitosan nanoparticles encapsulated with E. staigeriana inhibited the bacteria by 47.27%. These investigations concluded that E. staigeriana loaded Aloe Vera coated Dextran Sulfate/Chitosan hydrogel could be used as a powerful dressing material to accelerate wound healing.

Abstract
Three types of biocompatible films were fabricated via electrostatic layer-by-layer (LbL) adsorption of oppositely charged cationic polyurethane and anionic polysaccharides with different primary structures, including sodium hyaluronate, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and sodium alginate. The adsorption behaviors of films were investigated by using the cationic dye methylene blue (MB) as a model drug at various pH values and salt concentrations. The relationship between the type of polysaccharide and the adsorption behavior of LbL films was comparatively studied. It was found that the adsorption capacity increased with an increase of the initial concentration of MB in the concentration range of the experiment to all of the films, and the pH of environment ranged from 3.0 to 9.0. The Langmuir equation fit perfectly to the experiment data. In addition, a pseudo second-order adsorption model can well describe the adsorption behaviors of MB for three films. The results showed that the type of side chains and the charge density of the polysaccharides played key roles in the adsorption properties of the PU/polysaccharide multilayer films.

Abstract
One of the key challenges in the field of bio-nanotechnology for drug delivery systems (DDS) is the development of nano- or micro-sized delivery carriers possessing both targeting functionalities for specific tissues or cells, and controlled release properties for encapsulated drug molecules, proteins and genes. Hollow capsules developed by layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly have attracted much attention over the past few years owing to their ability to be modified, their capacity to encapsulate a wide range of chemicals, and the variety of functionalities with which they can be enhanced. Current research on LbL capsules focuses on the development of functionalized capsules for specific targeting of cancer or immune cells, and on controlling their release properties by environmental stimuli. This review discusses recent advances in DDS using functional hollow capsules specific for the cellular and tissue-targeted delivery, as well as stimuli-responsive controlled release. DDS based on functional hollow capsules may contribute to the development of new nano-medicines.

Abstract
Osteoinductivity of hydroxyapatite (HA) was investigated using uncommitted pluripotent mouse stem cells, C3H10T1/2 in an in vitro differentiation assay. For comparative analysis, the cells were cultured on substrates made of osteoinductive HA, with biocompatible titanium and plastics as the negative control. HA exhibited the ability to induce expression of osteo-specific genes in C3H10T1/2, including alkaline phosphatase (ALP), type I collagen, and osteocalcin; compared with its insignificant up-regulation of the same genes in osteoblast-like cells, Saos-2. HA osteoinductivity exhibited in C3H10T1/2 was comparable to that of a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) with reference to the up-regulation of osteo-specific genes except the core binding factor 1 (Cbfa1, Runx). This result implies a difference in osteogenic induction pathway initiated by HA and BMP. Using this mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) culture assay, osteoinductivity was also demonstrated to be present in the conditioned medium derived from MSC cultured on HA substrates. This conditioned medium exhibited excellent ability to up-regulate ALP in the absence of HA and BMP. The results suggest that the HA can interact with the cells and generate potent inductive substance released into the medium. Such substance in turn is able to induce uncommitted cells to differentiate into the osteolineage.

Abstract
Charged derivatives of chitosan, N-sulfofurfuryl chitosan (SFC) and N-[(2-hydroxyl-3-trimethylammonium)propyl]chitosan chloride (HTACC) were prepared by reductive alkylation of amino groups of chitosan (CHI) using 5-formyl-2-furansulfonic acid, sodium salt (FFSA) as a reagent and ring opening of glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride (GTMAC) by amino groups of chitosan, respectively. The chemical structures of the charged derivatives were verified by (1)H NMR and FTIR analyses. Multilayer assembly of SFC, HTACC, CHI and the selected oppositely charged polyelectrolytes was monitored by a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). Stratification of the multilayer film fabricated on plasma-treated poly(ethylene terephthalate) (treated PET) substrate was demonstrated by water contact angle data. The coverage of the assembled films was characterized by AFM and ATR-FTIR analyses. The bioactivity of the deposited multilayer film on the treated PET substrate was tested against selected proteins having a distinctive size and charge. This research strongly suggests that both SFC and HTACC are potential candidates for altering the surface bioactivity of materials.

Abstract
A nanoparticle insulin delivery system was prepared by complexation of dextran sulfate and chitosan in aqueous solution. Parameters of the formulation such as the final mass of polysaccharides, the mass ratio of the two polysaccharides, pH of polysaccharides solution, and insulin theorical loading were identified as the modulating factors of nanoparticle physical properties. Particles with a mean diameter of 500 nm and a zeta potential of approximately -15 mV were produced under optimal conditions of DS:chitosan mass ratio of 1.5:1 at pH 4.8. Nanoparticles showed spherical shape, uniform size and good shelf-life stability. Polysaccharides complexation was confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier transformed infra-red spectroscopy. An association efficiency of 85% was obtained. Insulin release at pH below 5.2 was almost prevented up to 24h and at pH 6.8 the release was characterized by a controlled profile. This suggests that release of insulin is ruled by a dissociation mechanism and DS/chitosan nanoparticles are pH-sensitive delivery systems. Furthermore, the released insulin entirely maintained its immunogenic bioactivity evaluated by ELISA, confirming that this new formulation shows promising properties towards the development of an oral delivery system for insulin.

Abstract
Photoreactive pullulan was prepared, the polymer was photoimmobilized on polymeric or organic surfaces, and its interactions with a protein and a cell type were investigated. The photoreactive pullulan was synthesized by a coupling reaction with 4-azidobenzonic acid. Surface modification was carried out in the presence or absence of a micropatterned photomask containing 100 microm transparent stripes with 150 microm gaps, making it easy to confirm the immobilization. By the micropatterning method, immobilization of the photoreactive pullulan on polystyrene, polyethylene, and silane-coupled glass was confirmed. Contact angles were measured on the unpatterned surfaces. Although the original surfaces have different contact angles, the contact angle on Az-pullulan-immobilized surface was the same on all surfaces. This result demonstrated that photoimmobilization completely covered the surface with Az-pullulan. Protein adsorption was investigated using fluorescently labeled albumin applied to the micropatterned surface: fluorescence microscopy demonstrated that adsorption was reduced on the pullulan-immobilized regions. Culture of RAW264 cells, derived from mouse leukemic monocytes, on the micropatterned surface for 22 h showed that cells did not adhere to the immobilized pullulan regions. In conclusion, photoreactive pullulan was covalently immobilized on various surfaces and tended to reduce interactions with proteins and cells.
