Abstract
Chitosan is widely used in reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive films but remains great challenges owing to its weak mechanical strength and strong hydrophilicity. Herein, we synthesized novel hydrophobic crosslinked CS films with ROS-responsive properties and excellent physicochemical properties. A novel crosslinker, 2-((10-carboxydecyl)thio)succinic acid, with long-chain alkanes, three carboxyl groups, and sulfhydryl groups was synthesized and then used to produce thioether-containing crosslinked CS membranes. The results suggested that crosslinking could significantly increase the tensile strength of the film from 15.67 MPa to 24.32 MPa. The compact structure of crosslinked chitosan film improved the hydrophobicity and degradability, reduced the thermal stability and swelling rates, exhibited excellent non- cytotoxicity. The in vitro release studies revealed that crosslinked chitosan films could displayed the highest flux about 1.40 mg/ (cm2 h) and significant NR fluorescence change over 80 %. Collectively, our results demonstrate the applicability of these films as ROS-responsive drug delivery systems.

Abstract
As one of the most abundant natural polysaccharides that possess good biological activity, chitosan is extracted from chitin. Its application in the food field is being increasingly valued. However, chitosan extraction is difficult, and its poor solubility limits its application. At present, the extraction methods include the acid-base method, new chemical methods, and biological methods. The extraction rates of chitin/chitosan are 4-55%, 13-14%, and 15-28%, respectively. Different chemical modifications have different effects on chitosan, making it applicable in different fields. This article reviews and compares the extraction and chemical modification methods of chitosan, emphasizing the importance of green extraction methods. Finally, the application prospects of chitosan in the food industry are discussed. This will promote the understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of different extraction methods for chitosan as well as the relationship between modification and application, providing valuable insights for the future development of chitosan.

Abstract
Excessive lipid intake is linked to an elevated risk of health problems. However, reducing lipid contents may influence food structure and flavor. Some alternatives are needed to control the lipid absorption. Emulsions are common carriers for lipids, which can control the hydrolysis and absorption of lipids. Chitin (Ch) and chitosan (CS) are natural polysaccharides with good biodegradability, biocompatibility, and unique cationic properties. They have been reported to be able to delay lipolysis, which can be regarded as one of the most promising agents that regulates lipid digestion (LiD). The application of Ch/CS and their derivatives in emulsions are summarized in this review with a focus on their performances and mechanisms for LiD regulation, aiming to provide theoretical guidance for the development of novel Ch/CS emulsions, and the regulation of LiD. A reasonable design of emulsion interface can provide its resistance to the external environment and then control LiD. The properties of emulsion interface are the key factors affecting LiD. Therefore, systematic study on the relationship between Ch/CS-based emulsion structure and LiD can not only instruct the reasonable design of emulsion interface to accurately regulate LiD, but also provide scientific guidelines for applying Ch/CS in functional food, medicine and other fields.

Analysis of the aggregation mechanism of chondroitin sulfate/chitosan particles and fabrication of hydrogel cell scaffolds. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 210:233-242.

Abstract
In this study, the aggregation mechanism of polyion complex (PIC) particles from chitosan (CHI) and chondroitin sulfate C (CS) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was analyzed, and a novel method for the fabrication of hydrogels via aggregation was developed. The PBS induced a decrease in the ζ-potential of the CS/CHI PIC particles, increase in their diameter, and aggregation in a concentration-dependent manner. The hydrogels prepared by mixing CS/CHI PIC particle dispersion and PBS showed the PIC components, with porous structure, high swelling ratio (161.4 ± 13.3%), and high storage moduli (26.2 ± 1.4 kPa). By mixing PBS with suspended adhesive cells and CS/CHI PIC particle dispersion, hydrogels with high cell-loading efficiency were successfully synthesized. The loaded cells within the hydrogels exhibited high viability, uniform distribution, and formation of cell aggregates. These results indicate that CS/CHI-based hydrogels have a potential application as three-dimensional scaffolds for cell culture in tissue engineering.

Abstract
Chitosan (CH) was N-alkylated via Schiff base formation and further reduced via sodium borohydride. The reaction was carried out at room temperature, in a homogeneous aqueous medium, using as a source of alkyl group an essential oil (Eucalyptus staigeriana) containing an unsaturated aldehyde (3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dienal). Derivatives were characterized by Infrared Spectroscopy, proton and carbon Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, XRD, particle size distribution and zeta potential. Chitosan hydrophobization evidence was given by FTIR as new bands at 2929 cm-1 due to methyl groups, along with the presence of strong band at 1580 cm-1 owing to N substitution. Moreover, carbon and proton NMR corroborated the insertion of methyl groups in chitosan backbone. The degree of substitution was found to be in the range 0.69-1.44. X-ray diffractograms revealed that the insertion of alkyl substituents in chitosan backbone led to a less crystalline material. Data from antibacterial activity revealed that chitosan and derivatives were effective against Gram-positive bacteria, whereby derivatives exhibited greater inhibitory effect than CH. Derivatives are likely candidates for use as carriers for active principles of interest of food, pharmacy and medicine.

Abstract
In 1968 Wolfson et al. published the concept for producing energy inside the body using catalytic electrodes exposed to the body fluid as an electrolyte and utilising naturally occurring fuels such as glucose. Since then, the technology has advanced to enhance the levels of power using enzymes immobilised within three-dimensional bioelectrodes that are nanostructured. Current research in the field of enzymatic fuel cells is directed toward applying electrochemical and nanostructural expertise to increase the energy density, to increase the power density, to increase the operational stability, and to increase the voltage output. Nonetheless, biocompatibility remains the major challenge for increasing the life-time for implanted enzymatic biofuel cells. Here, we discuss the current issues for biocompatibility and suggest directions to enhance the design of biofuel cells so as to increase the life-time of implantation whilst maintaining sufficient performance to provide power for implanted medical devices.

Abstract
We discuss the perspectives of designing implantable medical devices that have the criterion of being symbiotic. Our starting point was whether the implanted device is intended to have any two-way (“duplex”) communication of energy or materials with the body. Such duplex communication extends the existing concepts of a biomaterial and biocompatibility to include the notion that it is important to consider the intended functional use of the implanted medical device. This demands a biomimetic approach to design functional symbiotic implantable medical devices that can be more efficient in mimicking what is happening at the molecular and cellular levels to create stable interfaces that allow for the unfettered exchanges of molecules between an implanted device and a body. Such a duplex level of communication is considered to be a necessary characteristic of symbiotic implanted medical devices that are designed to function for long periods of time inside the body to restore and assist the function of the body. We illustrate these perspectives with experience gained from implanting functional enzymatic biofuel cells.

Abstract
Chitosan and its derivatives are widely used in medical, cosmetic and food fields. In this study, chitosan-N-arginine (CSA) was synthesized and characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), 1H NMR, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A novel antibacterial composite film consisting of CSA, hydroxypropyl methylcellose (HPMC) and glycerol was then prepared. The transparent and homogeneous film presented good compatibility between CSA and HPMC, confirmed by SEM. The thickness of the film was about 44.8 μm and its moisture content was 23.0%. Antimicrobial evaluation of CSA/HPMC film showed 9.0 mm bacteriostatic diameter zone against E. coli and 10.5 mm one against S. aureus. The film exhibited cell biocompatibility and promoted proliferation with L929 cell cytotoxicity test. Both antibacterial and cytotoxic results showed that the CSA/HPMC film was a promising material for medication, cosmetics and food preservation applications.

Abstract
Hemorrhea is one of the major problems in war, trauma care, and surgical operation that threaten the life of the injured and patients. As a novel polymeric hemostatic agent, biodegradable chitosan can stop bleeding through a variety of approaches. In this paper, chitosan with various molecular parameters was prepared from chitin as raw material through deacetylation, oxidative degradation, hydrophilic modification, and salt formation reactions. The influence of different polymer parameters on the hemostatic effects of chitosan was investigated by in vitro coagulation time and dynamic coagulation assay. The results showed that when the molecular weights were high (10⁵⁻10⁶) and approximate, the coagulation effect of chitosan improved with a decrease of the deacetylation degree and achieved a prominent level in a moderate degree of deacetylation (68.36%). With the same degree of deacetylation, the higher the molecular weight of chitosan, the better the procoagulant effect. The substituent derivatives and acid salts of chitosan showed significant procoagulant effects, especially the acid salts of chitosan. In addition, the hemostasis mechanism of chitosan with various parameters was preliminarily explored by analyzing the plasma recalcification time (PRT). The efforts in this paper laid a basis for further study of the structure⁻activity relationship and the mechanism of chitosan hemostasis.

Abstract
Studies on "smart" polymeric material performing environmental stimuli such as temperature, pH, magnetic field, enzyme and photo-sensation have recently paid much attention to practical applications. Among of them, thermo-responsive grafted copolymers, amphiphilic steroids as well as polyester molecules have been utilized in the fabrication of several multifunctional platforms. Indeed, they performed a strikingly functional improvement comparing to some original materials and exhibited a holistic approach for biomedical applications. In case of drug delivery systems (DDS), there has been some successful proof of thermal-responsive grafted platforms on clinical trials such as ThermoDox®, BIND-014, Cynviloq IG-001, Genexol-PM, etc. This review would detail the recent progress and highlights of some temperature-responsive polymer-grafted nanomaterials or hydrogels in the 'smart' DDS that covered from synthetic polymers to nature-driven biomaterials and novel generations of some amphiphilic functional platforms. These approaches could produce several types of smart biomaterials for human health care in future.

Abstract
Background Malignant mesothelioma is an invasive neoplasm arising from mesothelial surfaces of the pleural and peritoneal cavities. Mesothelioma treatment is unsatisfactory and recurrence is common. Here an innovative locoregional treatment for malignant pleural mesothelioma is presented. Methods Chitosan- and hyaluronate-based films were loaded with 0.5% and 4% w/w cisplatin and were studied for their physicochemical, mechanical and drug release characteristics. The performance of the drug delivery systems was assessed in vitro on A549 cells and on an orthotopic model of MPM recurrence in rats. Results Polysaccharide films produced were thin, flexible and resistant. Cisplatin was completely released from hyaluronic acid films within 96 hours, while drug release was found to be much more prolonged with chitosan films. The drug released from hyaluronate films was effective against A549 cell line, while for chitosan films the release was too slow to produce cytotoxicity. Similarly, cisplatin-loaded chitosan films in vivo released minimal quantities of cisplatin and induced inflammation and foreign body reaction. Cisplatin-loaded hyaluronate acid films on the contrary were able to prevent tumor recurrence. The cisplatin-loaded hyaluronate films provided higher Cmax and AUC compared to a solution of cisplatin administered intrapleurally, but did not show any sign of treatment related toxicity. Conclusions Hyaluronate-based films appear as an optimal platform for the development of drug delivery systems suitable for the loco-regional post-surgical treatment of lung malignancies.
