Abstract
The widespread use of plastic products in daily life has raised concerns about the health hazards associated with nanoplastics (NPs). When exposed, NPs are likely to infiltrate the bloodstream, interact with plasma proteins, and trigger macrophage recognition and clearance. In this study, we focused on establishing a correlation between the unique protein coronal signatures of high-density (HDPE) and low-density (LDPE) polyethylene (PE) NPs with their ultimate impact on macrophage recognition and cytotoxicity. We observed that low-density and high-density lipoprotein receptors (LDLR and SR-B1), facilitated by apolipoproteins, played an essential role in PE-NP recognition. Consequently, PE-NPs activated the caspase-3/GSDME pathway and ultimately led to pyroptosis. Advanced imaging techniques, including label-free scattered light confocal imaging and cryo-soft X-ray transmission microscopy with 3D-tomographic reconstruction (nano-CT), provided powerful insights into visualizing NPs-cell interactions. These findings underscore the potential risks of NPs to macrophages and introduce analytical methods for studying the behavior of NPs in biological systems.

Abstract
Reconstructive and regenerative medicine are critical disciplines dedicated to restoring tissues and organs affected by injury, disease, or congenital anomalies. These fields rely on biomaterials like synthetic polymers, metals, ceramics, and biological tissues to create substitutes that integrate seamlessly with the body. Personalized implants and prosthetics, designed using advanced imaging and computer-assisted techniques, ensure optimal functionality and fit. Regenerative medicine focuses on stimulating natural healing mechanisms through cellular therapies and biomaterial scaffolds, enhancing tissue regeneration. In bone repair, addressing defects requires advanced solutions such as bone grafts, essential in medical and dental practices worldwide. Bovine bone scaffolds offer advantages over autogenous grafts, reducing surgical risks and costs. Incorporating antimicrobial properties into bone substitutes, particularly with metals like zinc, copper, and silver, shows promise in preventing infections associated with graft procedures. Silver nanoparticles exhibit robust antimicrobial efficacy, while zinc nanoparticles aid in infection prevention and support bone healing; 3D printing technology facilitates the production of customized implants and scaffolds, revolutionizing treatment approaches across medical disciplines. In this review, we discuss the primary biomaterials and their association with antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
The impact of the reaction environment on the formation of the polycrystalline layer and its biomedical (antimicrobial) applications were analyzed in detail. Copper oxide layers were synthesized using an electrodeposition technique, with varying additives influencing the morphology, thickness, and chemical composition. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images confirmed the successful formation of polyhedral structures. Unmodified samples (CuL) crystallized as a mixture of copper oxide (I) and (II), with a thickness of approximately 1.74 μm. The inclusion of the nonconductive polymer polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) during synthesis led to a regular and compact CuO-rich structure (CuL-PVP). Conversely, adding glucose resulted in forming a Cu2O-rich nanostructured layer (CuL-D(+)G). Both additives significantly reduced the sample thickness to 617 nm for CuL-PVP and 560 nm for CuL-D(+)G. The effectiveness of the synthesized copper oxide layers was demonstrated in their ability to significantly reduce the T4 phage titer by approximately 2.5-3 log. Notably, CuL-PVP and CuL-D(+)G showed a more substantial reduction in the MS2 phage titer, achieving about a 5-log decrease. In terms of antibacterial activity, CuL and CuL-PVP exhibited moderate efficacy against Escherichia coli, whereas CuL-D(+)G reduced the E. coli titer to undetectable levels. All samples induced similar reductions in Staphylococcus aureus titer. The study revealed differential susceptibilities, with Gram-negative bacteria being more vulnerable to CuL-D(+)G due to its unique composition and morphology. The antimicrobial properties were attributed to the redox cycling of Cu ions, which generate ROS, and the mechanical damage caused by nanostructured surfaces. A crucial finding was the impact of surface composition rather than surface morphology on antimicrobial efficacy. Samples with a dominant Cu2O composition exhibited potent antibacterial and antiviral properties, whereas CuO-rich materials showed predominantly enhanced antiviral activity. This research highlights the significance of phase composition in determining the antimicrobial properties of copper oxide layers synthesized through electrodeposition.

Abstract
The paper presents the study concerning the preparation and physio-chemical and biological properties of wool-copper (WO-Cu) materials obtained by the sputter deposition of copper onto the wool fibers. The WO-Cu material was subjected to physio-chemical and biological investigations. The physio-chemical investigations included the elemental analysis of materials (C, N, O, S, and Cu), their microscopic analysis, and surface properties analysis (specific surface area and total pore volume). The biological investigations consisted of the antimicrobial activity tests of the WO-Cu materials against colonies of Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria, Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria, and fungal mold species (Chaetomium globosum). Biochemical-hematological tests included the evaluation of the activated partial thromboplastin time and pro-thrombin time. The tested wool-copper demonstrated the ability to interact with the DNA in a time-dependent manner. These interactions led to the DNA's breaking and degradation. The antimicrobial and antifungal activities of the WO-Cu materials suggest a potential application as an antibacterial/antifungal material. Wool-copper materials may be also used as customized materials where the blood coagulation process could be well controlled through the appropriate copper content.

Abstract
Optimizing the antibacterial effectiveness of copper ions while reducing environmental and cellular toxicity is essential for public health. A copper chelate, named PAI-Cu, is skillfully created using a specially designed carboxyl copolymer (a combination of acrylic and itaconic acids) with copper ions. PAI-Cu demonstrates a broad-spectrum antibacterial capability both in vitro and in vivo, without causing obvious cytotoxic effects. When compared to free copper ions, PAI-Cu displays markedly enhanced antibacterial potency, being about 35 times more effective against Escherichia coli and 16 times more effective against Staphylococcus aureus. Moreover, Gaussian and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) analyses reveal that Cu+ ions can remain stable in the carboxyl compound's aqueous environment. Thus, the superior antibacterial performance of PAI-Cu largely stems from its modulation of copper ions between mono- and divalent states within the Cu-carboxyl chelates, especially via the carboxyl ligand. This modulation leads to the generation of reactive oxygen species (˙OH), which is pivotal in bacterial eradication. This research offers a cost-effective strategy for amplifying the antibacterial properties of Cu ions, paving new paths for utilizing copper ions in advanced antibacterial applications.

Abstract
The global spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) hospital-acquired pathogens is a serious problem for healthcare units. The challenge of the spreading of nosocomial infections, also known as hospital-acquired pathogens, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, must be addressed not only by developing effective drugs, but also by improving preventive measures in hospitals, such as passive bactericidal coatings deposited onto the touch surfaces. In this paper, we studied the antibacterial activity of superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic copper surfaces against the P. aeruginosa strain PA103 and its four different polyresistant clinical isolates with MDR. To fabricate superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic coatings, we subjected the copper surfaces to laser processing with further chemosorption of fluorooxysilane to get a superhydrophobic substrate. The antibacterial activity of superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic copper surfaces was shown, with respect to both the collection strain PA103 and polyresistant clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa, and the evolution of the decontamination of a bacterial suspension is presented and discussed. The presented results indicate the promising potential of the exploitation of superhydrophilic coatings in the manufacture of contact surfaces for healthcare units, where the risk of infection spread and contamination by hospital-acquired pathogens is extremely high.

Assessment of the relationship between the dopaminergic pathway and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection, with related neuropathological features, and potential therapeutic approaches in COVID-19 infection. Rev Med Virol 2024; 34:e2506. [PMID: 38282395 DOI: 10.1002/rmv.2506] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2022] [Revised: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 12/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
Dopamine is a known catecholamine neurotransmitter involved in several physiological processes, including motor control, motivation, reward, cognition, and immune function. Dopamine receptors are widely distributed throughout the nervous system and in immune cells. Several viruses, including human immunodeficiency virus and Japanese encephalitis virus, can use dopaminergic receptors to replicate in the nervous system and are involved in viral neuropathogenesis. In addition, studies suggest that dopaminergic receptors may play a role in the progression and pathogenesis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. When SARS-CoV-2 binds to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptors on the surface of neuronal cells, the spike protein of the virus can bind to dopaminergic receptors on neighbouring cells to accelerate its life cycle and exacerbate neurological symptoms. In addition, recent research has shown that dopamine is an important regulator of the immune-neuroendocrine system. Most immune cells express dopamine receptors and other dopamine-related proteins, indicating the importance of dopaminergic immune regulation. The increase in dopamine concentration during SARS-CoV2 infection may reduce immunity (innate and adaptive) that promotes viral spread, which could lead to neuronal damage. In addition, dopaminergic signalling in the nervous system may be affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection. COVID -19 can cause various neurological symptoms as it interacts with the immune system. One possible treatment strategy for COVID -19 patients could be the use of dopamine antagonists. To fully understand how to protect the neurological system and immune cells from the virus, we need to study the pathophysiology of the dopamine system in SARS-CoV-2 infection.
