[PMID: 37525691 PMCID: PMC10387254 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s413141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 07/02/2023] [Indexed: 08/02/2023] Open
Abstract
The diagnosis of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases currently relies primarily on invasive procedures like digestive endoscopy. However, these procedures can cause discomfort, respiratory issues, and bacterial infections in patients, both during and after the examination. In recent years, nanomedicine has emerged as a promising field, providing significant advancements in diagnostic techniques. Nanoprobes, in particular, offer distinct advantages, such as high specificity and sensitivity in detecting GI diseases. Integration of nanoprobes with advanced imaging techniques, such as nuclear magnetic resonance, optical fluorescence imaging, tomography, and optical correlation tomography, has significantly enhanced the detection capabilities for GI tumors and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This synergy enables early diagnosis and precise staging of GI disorders. Among the nanoparticles investigated for clinical applications, superparamagnetic iron oxide, quantum dots, single carbon nanotubes, and nanocages have emerged as extensively studied and utilized agents. This review aimed to provide insights into the potential applications of nanoparticles in modern imaging techniques, with a specific focus on their role in facilitating early and specific diagnosis of a range of GI disorders, including IBD and colorectal cancer (CRC). Additionally, we discussed the challenges associated with the implementation of nanotechnology-based GI diagnostics and explored future prospects for translation in this promising field.

Abstract
We report a switchable, templated polymerization system where the strength of the templating effect can be modulated by solution pH and/or ionic strength. The responsiveness to these cues is incorporated through a dendritic polyamidoamine-based template of which the charge density depends on pH. The dendrimers act as a template for the polymerization of an oppositely charged monomer, namely sodium styrene sulfonate. We show that the rate of polymerization and maximum achievable monomer conversion are directly related to the charge density of the template, and hence the environmental pH. The polymerization could effectively be switched "ON" and "OFF" on demand, by cycling between acidic and alkaline reaction environments. These findings break ground for a novel concept, namely harnessing co-assembly of a template and growing polymer chains with tunable association strength to create and control coupled polymerization and self-assembly pathways of (charged) macromolecular building blocks.

Abstract
In this work, we present core-shell microgels with tailor-made architecture and properties for the incorporation of palladium nanoparticles. The microgel core consists of poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM) copolymerized with methacrylic acid (MAc) as anchor point for the incorporation of palladium nanoparticles. The microgel shell is prepared by copolymerization of NIPAM and the UV-sensitive comonomer 2-hydroxy-4-(methacryloyloxy)-benzophenone (HMABP). The obtained core-shell architecture was analyzed by means of photon correlation spectroscopy, while the incorporated amount of HMABP was further confirmed via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Subsequently, the microgel system was used for loading with palladium nanoparticles and their size and localization were investigated by transmission electron microscopy. The catalytic activity of the monodisperse palladium nanoparticles was tested by reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol. The obtained reaction rate constants for the core-shell system showed enhanced activity compared to the Pd-loaded bare core system. Furthermore, it was possible to recycle the catalyst several times. Analysis via transmission electron microscopy revealed, that the incorporated palladium nanoparticles emerged undamaged after the reaction and subsequent purification process since no aggregation or loss in size was observed.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte nanogels containing cross-linked ionic polymer networks feature both soft environment and intrinsic charges which are of great potential for enzyme encapsulation. In this work, well-defined poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) nanogels have been synthesized based on a facile strategy, namely, electrostatic assembly directed polymerization (EADP). Specifically, AA monomers are polymerized together with a cross-linker in the presence of a cationic-neutral diblock copolymer as the template. Effects of control factors including pH, salt concentration, and cross-linking degree have been investigated systematically, based on which the optimal preparation of PAA nanogels has been established. The obtained nanogel features not only compatible pocket for safely loading enzymes without disturbing their structures, but also abundant negative charges which enable selective and efficient encapsulation of cationic enzymes. The loading capacities of PAA nanogels for cytochrome (cyt c) and lysozyme are 100 and 125 μg/mg (enzyme/nanogel), respectively. More notably, the PAA network seems to modulate a favorable microenvironment for cyt c and induces 2-fold enhanced activity for the encapsulated enzymes, as indicated by the steady-state kinetic assay. Our study reveals the control factors of EADP for optimal synthesis of anionic nanogels and validates their distinctive advances with respect to efficient loading and activation of cationic enzymes.

Abstract
Simple and rapid detection of disease-related bio-markers are significant for early clinical diagnosis and can potentially improve the survival rate. However, establishing a high-specificity colorimetric detection method for bio-markers are still challenges due to their inevitable natural antibody used or enzymatic labeling. Herein, a cost-efficient and easy-to-use approach, which called dual molecular imprinting immunosandwich colorimetric strategy (DMI-ICS) was constructed for detection alpha-2-macroglobulin (α2MG) by janus imprinted nanoparticles. The unique detection principle was contained with two mimic antibody parts, the first part was α2MG glass slides molecularly imprinted material (GS-MIP) as a "Separation antibody", which can specifically rapid separate the protein in the complex sample; Another part was asymmetrically modified janus molecularly imprinted gold nanoparticles nanozyme (J-GNPs-MIP) as a "Detection antibody", which has the properties of specific recognition and catalytic substrate color performance at the same time. The concentration of α2MG can be determined by the substrate color changes and observed with naked eyes. Under the optimized conditions, the DMI-ICS had a great performance and offering lower relative standard deviation (RSD, 7.69%), good linear range (0.297-130 μg/mL, R2 = 0.994), high imprinting factor (IF: 3.74) with lower detection limit (0.089 μg/mL). This strategy provides an easy operation and low cost signal readout method for direct detection and separation of α2MG in human serum samples, which is a versatile tool for point-of-care diagnosis, while also offering a new perspective on antibody simulation technology, multifunctional antibody preparation and contribute to detection of disease-related bio-marker in nonspecialized laboratory infrastructure.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality, resulting in approximately one-third of deaths worldwide. Among CVD, acute myocardial infarctions (MI) is the leading cause of death. Current treatment modalities for treating CVD have improved over the years, but the demand for new and innovative therapies has been on the rise. The field of nanomedicine and nanotechnology has opened a new paradigm for treating damaged hearts by providing improved drug delivery methods, specifically targeting injured areas of the myocardium. With the advent of innovative biomaterials, newer therapeutics such as growth factors, stem cells, and exosomes have been successfully delivered to the injured myocardial tissue, promoting improvement in cardiac function. This review focuses on three major drug delivery modalities: nanoparticles, microspheres, and hydrogels, and their potential for treating damaged hearts following an MI.
