Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are characterized by abnormalities in the heart, blood vessels, and blood flow. CVDs comprise a diverse set of health issues. There are several types of CVDs like stroke, endothelial dysfunction, thrombosis, atherosclerosis, plaque instability and heart failure. Identification of a new drug for heart disease takes longer duration and its safety efficacy test takes even longer duration of research and approval. This chapter explores drug repurposing, nano-therapy, and plant-based treatments for managing CVDs from existing drugs which saves time and safety issues with testing new drugs. Existing drugs like statins, ACE inhibitor, warfarin, beta blockers, aspirin and metformin have been found to be useful in treating cardiac disease. For better drug delivery, nano therapy is opening new avenues for cardiac research by targeting interleukin (IL), TNF and other proteins by proteome interactome analysis. Nanoparticles enable precise delivery to atherosclerotic plaques, inflammation areas, and damaged cardiac tissues. Advancements in nano therapeutic agents, such as drug-eluting stents and drug-loaded nanoparticles are transforming CVDs management. Plant-based treatments, containing phytochemicals from Botanical sources, have potential cardiovascular benefits. These phytochemicals can mitigate risk factors associated with CVDs. The integration of these strategies opens new avenues for personalized, effective, and minimally invasive cardiovascular care. Altogether, traditional drugs, phytochemicals along with nanoparticles can revolutionize the future cardiac health care by identifying their signaling pathway, mechanism and interactome analysis.

Abstract
Autophagy maintains cellular homeostasis and plays a crucial role in managing pathological conditions including ischemic myocardial injury leading to heart failure (HF). Despite treatments, no intervention can replace lost cardiomyocytes. Stem cell therapy offers potential for post-myocardial infarction repair but struggles with poor cell retention due to immune rejection. In the search for effective therapies, stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially exosomes, have emerged as promising tools. These tiny bioactive molecule carriers play vital roles in intercellular communication and tissue engineering. They offer numerous therapeutic benefits including modulating immune responses, promoting tissue repair, and boosting angiogenesis. Additionally, biomaterials provide a conducive 3D microenvironment for cell, exosome, and biomolecule delivery, and enhance heart muscle strength, making it a comprehensive cardiac repair strategy. In this regard, the current review delves into the intricate application of extracellular vesicles (EVs) and biomaterials for managing autophagy in the heart muscle during cardiac injury. Central to our investigation is the exploration of how these elements interact within the context of cardiac repair and regeneration. Additionally, this review also casts light on the formidable challenges that plague this field, such as the issues of safety, efficacy, controlled delivery, and acceptance of these therapeutic strategies for effective clinical translation. Addressing these challenges is crucial for unlocking the full therapeutic potential of EV and biomaterial-based therapies and ensuring their successful translation from bench to bedside.

Abstract
Artificial enzymes have demonstrated therapeutic benefits against diverse malignant tumors, yet their antitumor potencies are still severely compromised by non-selective catalysis, low atomic-utilization efficiency, and undesired off-target toxicity. Herein, it is reported that peroxidase-like biomineralized copper (II) carbonate hydroxide nanocrystals inside single albumin nanocages (CuCH-NCs) act as a pH-activatable proenzyme to achieve tumor-selective and synergistic chemodynamic/chemo-immunotherapy against aggressive triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs). These CuCH-NCs show pH-sensitive Cu2+ release, which spontaneously undergoes glutathione (GSH)-mediated reduction into Cu+ species for catalyzing the evolution of H2 O2 into hydroxyl radicals (·OH) in a single-atom-like manner to cause chemodynamic cell injury, and simultaneously activates non-toxic disulfiram to cytotoxic complex for yielding selective chemotherapeutic damage via blocking cell proliferation and amplifying cell apoptosis. CuCH-NCs exhibit considerable tumor-targeting capacity with deep penetration depth, thus affording preferable efficacy against orthotopic breast tumors through synergistic chemodynamic/chemotherapy, together with good in vivo safety. Moreover, CuCH-NCs arouse distinct immunogenic cell death effect and upregulate PD-L1 expression upon disulfiram combination, and thus synergize with anti-PD-L1 antibody to activate adaptive and innate immunities, together with relieving immunosuppression, finally yielding potent antitumor efficacy against both primary and metastatic TNBCs. These results provide insights into smart and high-performance proenzymes for synergistic therapy against aggressive cancers.

Abstract
The combination of chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy (PDT) based on nanoparticles (NPs) has been extensively developed to improve the therapeutic effect and decrease the systemic toxicity of current treatments. However, overexpressed glutathione (GSH) in tumor cells efficiently scavenges singlet oxygens (1O2) generated from photosensitizers and results in the unsatisfactory efficacy of PDT. To address this obstacle, here we design H2O2-responsive polymer prodrug NPs with GSH-scavenger (Ce6@P(EG-a-CPBE) NPs) for chemo-photodynamic synergistic cancer therapy. They are constructed by the co-self-assembly of photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) and amphiphilic polymer prodrug P(EG-a-CPBE), which is synthesized from a hydrophilic alternating copolymer P(EG-a-PD) by conjugating hydrophobic anticancer drug chlorambucil (CB) via an H2O2-cleavable linker 4-(hydroxymethyl)phenylboronic acid (PBA). Ce6@P(EG-a-CPBE) NPs can efficiently prevent premature drug leakage in blood circulation because of the high stability of the PBA linker under the physiological environment and facilitate the delivery of Ce6 and CB to the tumor site after intravenous injection. Upon internalization of Ce6@P(EG-a-CPBE) NPs by tumor cells, PBA is cleaved rapidly triggered by endogenous H2O2 to release CB and Ce6. Ce6 can effectively generate abundant 1O2 under 660 nm light irradiation to synergistically kill cancer cells with CB. Concurrently, PBA can be transformed into a GSH-scavenger (quinine methide, QM) under intracellular H2O2 and prevent the depletion of 1O2, which induces the cooperatively strong oxidative stress and enhanced cancer cell apoptosis. Collectively, such H2O2-responsive polymer prodrug NPs loaded with photosensitizer provide a feasible approach to enhance chemo-photodynamic synergistic cancer treatment.

Abstract
The human nature of curiosity, wonder, and ingenuity date back to the age of humankind. In parallel with our history of civilization, interest in scientific approaches to unravel mechanisms underlying natural phenomena has been developing. Recent years have witnessed unprecedented growth in research in the area of pharmaceuticals and medicine. The optimism that nanotechnology (NT) applied to medicine and drugs is taking serious steps to bring about significant advances in diagnosing, treating, and preventing disease-a shift from fantasy to reality. The growing interest in the future medical applications of NT leads to the emergence of a new field for nanomaterials (NMs) and biomedicine. In recent years, NMs have emerged as essential game players in modern medicine, with clinical applications ranging from contrast agents in imaging to carriers for drug and gene delivery into tumors. Indeed, there are instances where nanoparticles (NPs) enable analyses and therapies that cannot be performed otherwise. However, NPs also bring unique environmental and societal challenges, particularly concerning toxicity. Thus, clinical applications of NPs should be revisited, and a deep understanding of the effects of NPs from the pathophysiologic basis of a disease may bring more sophisticated diagnostic opportunities and yield more effective therapies and preventive features. Correspondingly, this review highlights the significant contributions of NPs to modern medicine and drug delivery systems. This study also attempted to glimpse the future impact of NT in medicine and pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
As one of the most cutting-edge and promising polymer crosslinked network nanoparticle systems. Polymer nano-sized hydrogels (nanogels) have been a hot topic in the biomedical field over the last few decades. Due to their unique characteristics, which include their relatively high drug encapsulation efficiency, ease of preparation, high tunability, low toxicity, high stability in serum and responsive behavior to a range of stimuli to facilitate drug release. Nanogels are thought to be the next generation of drug delivery systems that can completely change the way that drug delivery systems have an impact on patients' lives. Nanogels have demonstrated significant potential in a variety of fields, including chemotherapy, diagnosis, organ targeting, and delivery of bioactive molecules of different dimensions. However, the lack of substantial clinical data from nanogels becomes one of the major barriers to translating the nanogel concept into a practical therapeutic application for many disease conditions. In addition, nanogel safety profiles have been the major concern that hinders it advancement to the clinical trial phase. This review aims to emphasize the unique properties of nanogels as delivery systems for a variety of bioactive molecules over other nano-delivery systems. Also, this review attempts to give insight into the recent progress in nanogels as a carrier in the field of nanomedicine to overcome complex biological barriers. Relevant scientific data and clinical rationale for the development and the potential use of nanogel as a carrier for targeted therapeutic interventions are discussed. Finally, the concluding points of this review highlight the importance of understanding the long-term toxicity profile of nanogel within the biological system to fully understand their biocompatibility.

[PMID: 34349508 PMCID: PMC8326227 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s311718] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2021] [Accepted: 07/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background High levels of oxidants, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), are typical characteristics of an inflammatory microenvironment and are closely associated with a various inflammatory pathologies, eg, cancer, diabetes, atherosclerosis, and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, the delivery of anti-inflammatory drugs by oxidation-responsive smart systems would be an efficient anti-inflammatory strategy that benefits from the selective drug release in an inflammatory site, a lower treatment dose, and minimizes side effects. Purpose In this study, we present the feasibility of an oxidation-sensitive PEGylated alternating polyester, methoxyl poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(phthalic anhydride-alter-glycidyl propargyl ether) (mPEG-b-P(PA-alt-GPBAe)), as novel nanocarrier for curcumin (CUR), and explore the application in anti-inflammatory therapy. Methods The copolymers used were obtained by combining a click reaction and a ring-opening-polymerization method. CUR was loaded by self-assembly. The in vitro drug release, cytotoxicity toward RAW 264.7 cells and cellular uptake were investigated. Furthermore, the anti-inflammatory effects of CUR-loaded polymeric nanoparticles (NPs-CUR) were investigated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages and tested in a murine model of ankle inflammation. Results Fast drug release from NPs-CUR was observed in trigger of 1 mM H2O2 in PBS. Compared with NPs and free drugs, the significant anti-inflammatory potential of NPs-CUR was proven in activated RAW 264.7 cells by inhibiting the production of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 and increasing the level of an anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. Finally, a local injection of NPs-CUR at a dose of 0.25 mg/kg suppressed the acute ankle inflammatory response in mice by histological observation and further reduced the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the affected ankle joints compared to that of free CUR. Conclusion Both the significant in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory results indicated that our oxidation responsive polymeric nanoparticles are promising drug delivery systems for anti-inflammatory therapy.

Abstract
AIMS In a previous work, a pure crystalline titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs) were synthesized by green synthesis technique using Aloe vera leaves extract as reducing agent. In this work, we are aiming to investigate the potential of the novel greenly synthesized TiO2NPs as a nano-drug delivery system for the anticancer drug, doxorubicin (Dox). MAIN METHODS The cytotoxicity of the synthesized TiO2NPs was tested on two cell lines; normal human skin fibroblasts (HSF) and breast adenocarcinoma cells (MCF-7). Then, Dox was loaded to both TiO2NPs (Dox- TiO2NPs) and liposomes (Dox-Lip). The loaded nanoparticles were characterized by TEM, FTIR, encapsulation efficiency, particle size and zeta potential measurement. Moreover, in vitro drug release was studied. Ehrlich tumor-bearing mice were used to study the anticancer activity of Dox- TiO2NPs, Dox-Lip, and aqueous Dox solution. Tumor volume, survival rate, and histopathological alterations were compared in all groups. KEY FINDINGS Dox was successfully loaded to both liposomes and TiO2NPs with an encapsulation efficiency of 77% and 65%, respectively. The particle size of Dox-TiO2NPs, and Dox-Lip was 14.53 nm, and 103 nm, respectively. The cumulative Dox released from TiO2NPs and liposomes after 4 h was 18 and 46%, respectively.Dox-Lip and Dox-TiO2NPs resulted in the highest degree of tumor growth inhibition with 100% and 83% of treated animals remained alive, respectively. SIGNIFICANCE The greenly synthesized TiO2NPs were proved to be as effective as liposomes in enhancing the anticancer activity of Dox.

Abstract
Occlusion of blood vessels caused by thrombi is the major pathogenesis of various catastrophic cardiovascular diseases. Thrombi can be prevented or treated by antithrombotic drugs. However, free antithrombotic drugs often have relatively low therapeutic efficacy due to a number of limitations such as short half-life, unexpected bleeding complications, low thrombus targeting capability, and negligible hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-scavenging ability. Inspired by the abundance of H2O2 and the active thrombus-targeting property of platelets, a H2O2-responsive platelet membrane-cloaked argatroban-loaded polymeric nanoparticle (PNPArg) was developed for thrombus therapy. Poly(vanillyl alcohol-co-oxalate) (PVAX), a H2O2-degradable polymer, was synthesized to form an argatroban-loaded nanocore, which was further coated with platelet membrane. The PNPArg can effectively target the blood clots due to the thrombus-homing property of the cloaked platelet membrane, and subsequently exert combined H2O2-scavenging effect via the H2O2-degradable nanocarrier polymer and antithrombotic effect via argatroban, the released payload. The PNPArg effectively scavenged H2O2 and protected cells from H2O2-induced cellular injury in RAW 264.7 cells and HUVECs. The PNPArg rapidly targeted the thrombosed vessels and remarkably suppressed thrombus formation, and the levels of H2O2 and inflammatory cytokines in the ferric chloride-induced carotid arterial thrombosis mouse model. Safety assessment indicated good biocompatibility of the PNPArg. Taken together, the biomimetic PNPArg offers multiple functionalities including thrombus-targeting, antioxidation, and H2O2-stimulated antithrombotic action, thereby making it a promising therapeutic nanomedicine for thrombosis diseases.

Abstract
Since the term "smart materials" was put forward in the 1980s, stimuli-responsive biomaterials have been used as powerful tools in tissue engineering, mechanobiology, and clinical applications. For the purpose of myocardial repair and regeneration, stimuli-responsive biomaterials are employed to fabricate hydrogels and nanoparticles for targeted delivery of therapeutic drugs and cells, which have been proved to alleviate disease progression and enhance tissue regeneration. By reproducing the sophisticated and dynamic microenvironment of the native heart, stimuli-responsive biomaterials have also been used to engineer dynamic culture systems to understand how cardiac cells and tissues respond to progressive changes in extracellular microenvironments, enabling the investigation of dynamic cell mechanobiology. Here, we provide an overview of stimuli-responsive biomaterials used in cardiovascular research applications, with a specific focus on cardiac tissue engineering and dynamic cell mechanobiology. We also discuss how these smart materials can be utilized to mimic the dynamic microenvironment during heart development, which might provide an opportunity to reveal the fundamental mechanisms of cardiomyogenesis and cardiac maturation.

Abstract
Oxidative stress plays a key role in many physiological and pathological conditions. The intracellular oxidative homeostasis is tightly regulated by the reactive oxygen species production and the intracellular defense mechanisms. Increased oxidative stress could alter lipid, DNA, and protein, resulting in cellular inflammation and programmed cell death. Evidences show that oxidative stress plays an important role in the progression of various cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis, heart failure, cardiac arrhythmia, and ischemia-reperfusion injury. There are a number of therapeutic options to treat oxidative stress-associated cardiovascular diseases. Well known antioxidants, such as nutritional supplements, as well as more novel antioxidants have been studied. In addition, novel therapeutic strategies using miRNA and nanomedicine are also being developed to treat various cardiovascular diseases. In this article, we provide a detailed description of oxidative stress. Then, we will introduce the relationship between oxidative stress and several cardiovascular diseases. Finally, we will focus on the clinical implications of oxidative stress in cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Inflammation is intimately related to the pathogenesis of numerous acute and chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore anti-inflammatory therapy is a very promising strategy for the prevention and treatment of these inflammatory diseases. To overcome the shortcomings of existing anti-inflammatory agents and their traditional formulations, such as nonspecific tissue distribution and uncontrolled drug release, bioresponsive drug delivery systems have received much attention in recent years. In this review, we first provide a brief introduction of the pathogenesis of inflammation, with an emphasis on representative inflammatory cells and mediators in inflammatory microenvironments that serve as pathological fundamentals for rational design of bioresponsive carriers. Then we discuss different materials and delivery systems responsive to inflammation-associated biochemical signals, such as pH, reactive oxygen species, and specific enzymes. Also, applications of various bioresponsive drug delivery systems in the treatment of typical acute and chronic inflammatory diseases are described. Finally, crucial challenges in the future development and clinical translation of bioresponsive anti-inflammatory drug delivery systems are highlighted.

Abstract
Inorganic nanoparticles (NPs)-mediated tumor theranostics have attracted widespread attention due to their unique physicochemical properties, such as optical, electrical, magnetic, and thermal properties. In the past decade, great advancements have been made in inorganic NPs-associated drug delivery, multimodal tumor imaging, and tumor therapy. However, the potential toxicity of inorganic NPs due to their low biodegradability, background signals interference and treatment side effects limit their clinical application. Therefore, developing biodegradable and intelligent NPs is beneficial to avoid excessive metal ions deposition, specific tumor imaging and treatment. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in tumor microenvironment (TME)-triggered biodegradation of inorganic NPs accompanied by imaging signal amplification and the released ions-mediated tumor therapy. First, the feature characteristics of the TME are introduced, including mild acidity, hypoxia, overexpressed reactive oxygen species (ROS), glutathione (GSH), and enzymes et al.; then, the biodegradation of NPs in a TME-induced activation of imaging signals, such as magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and fluorescence imaging is described; furthermore, tumor therapies through "Fenton", "Fenton-like" reactions, and interference of biological effects in cells is presented. Finally, the challenges and outlook for improving the degradation efficiency, imaging, specificity and efficiency of tumor imaging and treatment are discussed.

Abstract
Inflammatory responses associated with ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) play a central role in alloimmunity and transplant outcomes. A key event driving these inflammatory responses is the burst of reactive oxygen species (ROS), with hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) as the most abundant form that occurs as a result of surgical implantation of the donor organ. Here, we used a syngeneic rat renal transplant and IRI model to evaluate the therapeutic properties of APP-103, a polyoxalate-based copolymer molecule containing vanillyl alcohol (VA) that exhibits high sensitivity and specificity toward the production of H2 O2 . We show that APP-103 is safe, and that it effectively promotes kidney function following IRI and survival of renal transplants. APP-103 reduces tissue injury and IRI-associated inflammatory responses in models of both warm ischemia (kidney clamping) and prolonged cold ischemia (syngeneic renal transplant). Mechanistically, we demonstrate that APP-103 exerts protective effects by specifically targeting the production of ROS. Our data introduce APP-103 as a novel, nontoxic, and site-activating therapeutic approach that effectively ameliorates the consequences of IRI in solid organ transplantation.

Abstract
A reactive oxygen species (ROS)-sensitive degradable polymer would be a promising material in designing a disease-responsive system or accelerating degradation of polymers with slow hydrolysis kinetics. Here, a thermogelling poly(ethylene glycol)-polycaprolactone-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-PCL-PEG or EG12 -CL20 -EG12 ) triblock copolymer with an oxalate group at the middle of the polymer is reported. The polymers form micelles with an average size of 100 nm in water. Thermogelation is observed in a concentration range of 8.0-37.0 wt%. In particular, the aqueous PEG-PCL-PEG triblock copolymer solutions are in a gel state at 37 °C in a concentration range of 25.0-37.0 wt%, whereas the aqueous PEG-PCL diblock copolymer solutions are in a sol state in the same concentration range at 37 °C. Thus, the gel depot could dissolve out once degradation of the triblock copolymers occurs at the oxalate group as confirmed by the in vitro experiment. In vivo gel formation is confirmed by injecting an aqueous PEG-PCL-PEG solution (36.0 wt%) into the subcutaneous layer of rats. The gel completely disappears in 21 d. A model polypeptide drug (cyclosporine A) is released over 21 d from the in situ formed gel. The micelle-based thermogel of PEG-PCL-PEG with ROS-triggering degradability is a promising injectable material for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Many central nervous system (CNS) diseases are still incurable and only symptomatic treatments are available. Oxidative stress is suggested to be a common hallmark, being able to cause and exacerbate the neuronal cell dysfunctions at the basis of these pathologies, such as mitochondrial impairments, accumulation of misfolded proteins, cell membrane damages, and apoptosis induction. Several antioxidant compounds are tested as potential countermeasures for CNS disorders, but their efficacy is often hindered by the loss of antioxidant properties due to enzymatic degradation, low bioavailability, poor water solubility, and insufficient blood-brain barrier crossing efficiency. To overcome the limitations of antioxidant molecules, exploitation of nanostructures, either for their delivery or with inherent antioxidant properties, is proposed. In this review, after a brief discussion concerning the role of the blood-brain barrier in the CNS and the involvement of oxidative stress in some neurodegenerative diseases, the most interesting research concerning the use of nano-antioxidants is introduced and discussed, focusing on the synthesis procedures, functionalization strategies, in vitro and in vivo tests, and on recent clinical trials.

Abstract
A novel amphiphilic alternating copolymer with thioether side groups (P(MSPA-a-EG)) was synthesized through an amine-epoxy click reaction of 3-(methylthio)propylamine (MSPA) and ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether. P(MSPA-a-EG) was characterized in detail by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), gel permeation chromatography, Fourier transformed infrared, differential scanning calorimeter, and thermogravimetric analysis to confirm the successful synthesis. Due to its amphiphilic structure, P(MSPA-a-EG) could self-assemble into spherical micelles with an average diameter of about 151 nm. As triggered by H2O2, theses micelles could disassemble because hydrophobic thioether groups are transformed to hydrophilic sulfoxide groups in MSPA units. The oxidant disassemble process of micelles was systemically studied by dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and 1H NMR measurements. The MTT assay against NIH/3T3 cells indicated that P(MSPA-a-EG) micelles exhibited good biocompatibility. Furthermore, they could be used as smart drug carriers to encapsulate hydrophobic anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) with 4.90% drug loading content and 9.81% drug loading efficiency. In vitro evaluation results indicated that the loaded DOX could be released rapidly, triggered by H2O2. Therefore, such a novel alternating copolymer was expected to be promising candidates for controlled drug delivery and release.

Abstract
Nicorandil ameliorated doxorubicin-induced nephrotoxicity; this study aimed to show and explain the mechanism of this protection. A precise method was elucidated to study the effect of nicorandil on doxorubicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats depending on the critical inflammation pathway TLR4/MAPK P38/NFκ-B. Adult male rats were subdivided into four groups. The 1st group was normal control, the 2nd group received nicorandil (3 mg/kg; p.o., for 4 weeks), the 3rd group received doxorubicin (2.6 mg/kg, i.p., twice per week for 4 weeks), and the fourth group was combination of doxorubicin and nicorandil for 4 weeks. Nephrotoxicity was assessed by biochemical tests through measuring Kidney function biomarkers such as [serum levels of urea, creatinine, albumin and total protein] besides renal kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and cystatin C], oxidative stress parameters such as [renal tissue malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH), SOD, catalase and nrf-2], mediators of inflammation such as [Toll like receptor 4 (TLR-4), Nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kB), p38 MAPK, Interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 β), and Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)] and markers of apoptosis [BAX and Bcl-2 in renal tissue]. Finally, our data were supported by histopathology examination. Nicorandil pretreatment resulted in a significant decrease in nephrotoxicity biomarkers, oxidative stress markers, inflammatory mediators and prevented apoptosis through decreasing BAX and increasing Bcl-2 in renal tissues. Nicorandil prevented all the histological alterations caused by doxorubicin. Nicorandil is a promising antidote against doxorubicin-induced nephrotoxicity by neutralizing all toxicity mechanisms caused by doxorubicin through normalizing inflammatory cascade of TLR4/MAPK P38/NFκ-B.

Abstract
Inflammation-associated thrombosis is a non-negligible source of mortalities and morbidities worldwide. To manipulate inflammation-associated coagulation, nanoparticles that contain anti-inflammatory polymer (copolyoxalate containing vanillyl alcohol, PVAX) and anti-thrombotic heparin derivative deoxycholic acid (Hep-DOCA) are prepared. The strategy takes advantage of the reducted side effects of heparin through heparin conjugation, achievement of long-term anti-inflammation by inflammation-trigged release of anti-inflammatory agents, and formation of PVAX/heparin-DOCA nanoparticles by co-self-assembly. It is demonstrated that the Hep-DOCA conjugate and PVAX are synthesized successfully; PVAX and Hep-DOCA nanodrugs (HDP) are obtained by co-assembly; the HDP nanoparticles effectively reduce the inflammation and coagulation without inducing lethal bleeding both in vivo and in vitro. The method provided here is versatile and effective, which paves new way to develop nanodrugs to treat inflammation-associated thrombosis safely.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Nanomedicine is an application of nanotechnology that provides solutions to unmet medical challenges. The unique features of nanoparticles, such as their small size, modifiable components, and diverse functionality, make them attractive and suitable materials for novel diagnostic, therapeutic, or theranostic applications. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the major cause of noncommunicable illness in both developing and developed countries. Nanomedicine offers novel theranostic options for the treatment of CVDs. Recent Advances: Many innovative nanoparticles to target reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been developed. In this article, we review the characteristics of nanoparticles that are responsive to ROS, their limitations, and their potential clinical uses. Significant advances made in diagnosis of atherosclerosis and treatment of acute coronary syndrome using nanoparticles are discussed. CRITICAL ISSUES Although there is a tremendous potential for the nanoparticle applications in medicine, their safety should be considered while using in humans. We discuss the challenges that may be encountered with some of the innovative nanoparticles used in CVDs. FUTURE DIRECTIONS The unique properties of nanoparticles offer novel diagnostic tool and potential therapeutic strategies. However, nanomedicine is still in its infancy, and further in-depth studies are needed before wide clinical application is achieved.

Abstract
Although functional aliphatic polycarbonates (APCs) have attracted prominent research interest as stimuli-responsive biomaterials, the majority of functional APCs are fabricated by detrimental organometallic catalysts or organo-catalysts. Herein, a facile synthetic strategy based on enzymatic polymerization was developed to construct a selenium-containing amphiphilic aliphatic polycarbonate (mPEG-b-CMP45). Specifically, the selenium in its backbone framework underwent a hydrophobic–hydrophilic transition upon exposure to the abnormal ROS level of the tumor, thus providing a promising platform for ROS-triggered drug release. This amphiphilic mPEG-b-CMP45 efficiently encapsulated doxorubicin (DOX) via self-assembly in aqueous solution and showed an excellent ability to regulate the release of DOX in response to H2O2 at biologically relevant concentrations (100 μM). These DOX-loaded nanoparticles could easily be internalized into U87 cells and possess the inherent antitumor properties of DOX, while they exhibited much lower cytotoxicity in normal cells HL-7702. Moreover, in many cases, the introduction of selenium caused high cytotoxicity of the materials, but the cytotoxicity results in HL-7702 cells demonstrated the good biocompatibility of mPEG-b-CMP45. These collective data suggested the potential use of mPEG-b-CMP45 as a biocompatible and smart drug delivery vehicle. A facile synthetic strategy based on enzymatic polymerization was developed to construct a ROS-responsive polycarbonate served as biocompatible drug vehicle.![]()

Abstract
Oxidative stress during sepsis pathogenesis remains the most-important factor creating imbalance and dysregulation in immune-cell function, usually observed following initial infection. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a potentially toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), is excessively produced by pro-inflammatory immune cells during the initial phases of sepsis and plays a dominant role in regulating the pathways associated with systemic inflammatory immune activation. In the present study, we constructed a peroxide scavenger mannosylated polymeric albumin manganese dioxide (mSPAM) nanoassembly to catalyze the decomposition of H2O2 responsible for the hyper-activation of pro-inflammatory immune cells. In a detailed manner, we investigated the role of mSPAM nanoassembly in modulating the expression and secretion of pro-inflammatory markers elevated in bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated endotoxemia during sepsis. Through a facile one-step solution-phase approach, hydrophilic bovine serum albumin reduced manganese dioxide (BM) nanoparticles were synthesized and subsequently self-assembled with cationic mannosylated disulfide cross-linked polyethylenimine (mSP) to formulate mSPAM nanoassembly. In particular, we observed that the highly stable mSPAM nanoassembly suppressed HIF1α expression by scavenging H2O2 in LPS-induced macrophage cells. Initial investigation revealed that a significant reduction of free radicals by the treatment of mSPAM nanoassembly has reduced the infiltration of neutrophils and other leukocytes in a local endotoxemia animal model. Furthermore, therapeutic studies in a systemic endotoxemia model demonstrated that mSPAM treatment reduced TNF-α and IL-6 inflammatory cytokines in serum, in turn circumventing organ damage done by the inflammatory macrophages. Interestingly, we also observed that the reduction of these inflammatory cytokines by mSPAM nanoassembly further prevented IBA-1 immuno-positive microglial cell activation in the brain and consequently improved the cognitive function of the animals. Altogether, the administration of mSPAM nanoassembly scavenged H2O2 and suppressed HIF1α expression in LPS-stimulated macrophages and thereby inhibited the progression of local and systemic inflammation as well as neuroinflammation in an LPS-induced endotoxemia model. This mSPAM nanoassembly system could serve as a potent anti-inflammatory agent, and we further anticipate its successful application in treating various inflammation-related diseases.

Abstract
Shape memory polymers (SMPs) have been found to be promising biomaterials for a variety of medical applications; however, the clinical translation of such technology is dependent on tailorable properties such as gravimetric changes in degradation environments. For SMPs synthesized from amino-alcohols, oxidation resulting in rapid mass loss may be problematic in terms of loss of material functionality as well as toxicity and cytocompatibility concerns. Control of gravimetric changes was achieved through the incorporation of small molecule antioxidants, either directly into the polymer matrix or included in microparticles to form a SMP composite material. With direct incorporation of small molecule phenolic antioxidant 2,2'-methylenebis(6- tert-butyl)-methylphenol (Methyl), SMPs displayed reduce strain recovery by more than 50% (Methyl) and increase elastic modulus from approximately 1.4 to 2.3 MPa, at the expense of the strain to failure being reduced from 45% to 32%. Importantly, such changes could not ensure retention of the antioxidants and therefore did not increase oxidative stability beyond 15 days in accelerated oxidative conditions (equivalent to approximately 800 days in porcine aneurysms) in all cases except for the inclusion of a hindered amine that capped network growth, which also resulted in shape memory reduction (only 80% recoverable strain achieved). However, the inclusion of antioxidants in microparticles was found to produce materials with similar thermomechanical ( Tg migration below 1.0 °C) and shape recovery of 100%, while increasing oxidative resistance compared to controls (oxidation onset was delayed by 3 days and material lifespan increased to approximately 20-22 days in accelerated oxidative solution or beyond 1000 days in the porcine aneurysm). The microparticle composite SMPs also act as a platform for environmental sensing, such as pH-dependent fluorescence shifts and payload release, as demonstrated by fluorescent dye studies using phloxine B and nile blue chloride and the release of antioxidants over a 3 week period. The use of polyurethane-urea microparticles in porous SMPs is demonstrated to increase biostability of the materials, by approximately 25%, and ultimately extend their lifespan for use in aneurysm occlusion as determined through calculated in vivo degradation rates corresponding to a porcine aneurysm environment.

Abstract
Despite the great potential of numerous antioxidants for pharmacotherapy of diseases associated with inflammation and oxidative stress, many challenges remain for their clinical translation. Herein, a superoxidase dismutase/catalase-mimetic material based on Tempol and phenylboronic acid pinacol ester simultaneously conjugated β-cyclodextrin (abbreviated as TPCD), which is capable of eliminating a broad spectrum of reactive oxygen species (ROS), is reported. TPCD can be easily synthesized by sequentially conjugating two functional moieties onto a β-cyclodextrin scaffold. The thus developed pharmacologically active material may be easily produced into antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nanoparticles, with tunable size. TPCD nanoparticles (TPCD NP) effectively protect macrophages from oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in vitro. Consistently, TPCD NP shows superior efficacies in three murine models of inflammatory diseases, with respect to attenuating inflammatory responses and mitigating oxidative stress. TPCD NP can also protect mice from drug-induced organ toxicity. Besides the passive targeting effect, the broad spectrum ROS-scavenging capability contributes to the therapeutic benefits of TPCD NP. Importantly, in vitro and in vivo preliminary experiments demonstrate the good safety profile of TPCD NP. Consequently, TPCD in its native and nanoparticle forms can be further developed as efficacious and safe therapies for treatment of inflammation and oxidative stress-associated diseases.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has had a significant impact on medicine in recent years, its application being referred to as nanomedicine. Nanoparticles have certain properties with biomedical applications; however, in some situations, they have demonstrated cell toxicity, which has caused concern surrounding their clinical use. In this review, we focus on two aspects: first, we summarize the types of nanoparticles according to their chemical composition and the general characteristics of their use in medicine, and second, we review the applications of nanoparticles in vascular alteration, especially in endothelial dysfunction related to oxidative stress. This condition can lead to a reduction in nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, consequently affecting vascular tone regulation and endothelial dysfunction, which is the first phase in the development of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, nanoparticles with antioxidant properties may improve vascular dysfunction associated with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, or atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Polycaprolactone (PCL) was reported a long time ago; however, its biomedical applications has not been extensively investigated in comparison with poly(lactide- co-glycolide) (PLGA) due to its too slow degradation profile. Here, we are reporting an oxalate-connected oligocaprolactone multiblock copolymer (PCL-OX) as a fast degradable PCL while maintaining its crystalline properties and low melting point of PCL. The in vivo application of the paclitaxel-loaded PCL-OX microspheres provided a steady plasma drug concentration of 6-9 μg/mL over 28 days, similar to that of the PLGA microspheres. Both PCL and PLGA microspheres were completely cleared two months after in vivo implantation. The PCL-OX microspheres showed a similar tissue compatibility to that of PLGA microspheres in the subcutaneous layer of rats. These findings suggest that PCL-OX is a useful biomaterial that solves the slow degradation problems of PCL and, thus, may find uses in other biomedical applications as an alternative to PLGA.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have become prominent in mortality and morbidity rates. Prevalent cardiovascular conditions, such as hypertension, atherosclerosis and oxidative stress, are increasing at an alarming rate. Conventional drugs have been associated with adverse effects, suggesting a need for an alternative measure to ameliorate CVD. A number of plant- and herb-derived preventative food and therapeutic drugs for cardiovascular conditions are progressively used for their various benefits. Naturally derived food and drugs have fewer side effects because they come from natural elements; preventative food, such as grape seed, inhibits changes of histopathology and biomarkers in vital organs whereas therapeutic drugs, for instance Xanthone, improve heart functions by suppressing oxidative stress of myocyte. This review closely examines the various plant- and herb-derived drugs that have assumed an essential role in treating inflammation and oxidative stress for prevalent cardiovascular conditions. Furthermore, the use of plant-derived medicine with other synthetic particles, such as nanoparticles, for targeted therapy is investigated for its effective clinical use in the future.

Abstract
The importance of nitric oxide (NO) in many biological processes has garnered increasing research interest in the design and development of efficient technologies for the sensitive detection of NO. Here we report on a novel gold microelectrode with a unique three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical nanoporous structure for the electrochemical sensing of NO, which was fabricated via a facile electrochemical alloying/dealloying method. Following the treatment, the electrochemically active surface area (ECSA) of the gold microelectrode was significantly increased by 22.9 times. The hierarchical nanoporous gold (HNG) microelectrode exhibited excellent performance for the detection of NO with high stability. On the basis of differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and amperometric techniques, the obtained sensitivities were 21.8 and 14.4 μA μM-1 cm-2, with detection limits of 18.1 ± 1.22 and 1.38 ± 0.139 nM, respectively. The optimized HNG microelectrode was further utilized to monitor the release of NO from different cells, realizing a significant differential amount of NO generated from the normal and stressed rat cardiac cells as well as from the untreated and treated breast cancer cells. The HNG microelectrode developed in the present study may provide an effective platform in monitoring NO in biological processes and would have a great potential in the medical diagnostics.

Abstract
Ultrasonography is a reliable diagnostic modality for muscle and tendon injuries, but it has been challenging to find right diagnosis of minor musculoskeletal injuries by conventional ultrasonographic imaging. A large amount of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) are known to be generated during tissue damages such as mechanical injury and therefore H2O2 holds great potential as a diagnostic and therapeutic marker for mechanical injuries in the musculoskeletal system. We previously developed poly(vanillyl alcohol-co-oxalate) (PVAX), which rapidly scavenges H2O2 and exerts antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity in H2O2-associated diseases. Based on the notion that PVAX nanoparticles generate CO2 bubbles through H2O2-triggered hydrolysis, we postulated that PVAX nanoparticles could serve as ultrasonographic contrast agents and therapeutic agents for musculoskeletal injuries associated with overproduction of H2O2. In the agarose gel phantom study, PVAX nanoparticles continuously generated CO2 bubbles to enhance ultrasonographic echogenicity significantly. Contusion injury significantly elevated the level of H2O2 in skeletal muscles and Achilles tendons. Upon intramuscular injection, PVAX nanoparticles significantly elevated the ultrasound contrast and suppressed inflammation and apoptosis in the contusion injury of musculoskeletal systems. We anticipate that PVAX nanoparticles hold great translational potential as theranostic agents for musculoskeletal injuries.

Abstract
Excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been implicated in numerous diseases including cancer, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Overexpression of ROS can lead to oxidative stress and subsequently to H2O2-mediated cell apoptosis. In this study, it was demonstrated that biodegradable PLGA microspheres coated with collagen type I and decorated with MnO2 nanoparticles acted as ROS scavengers controlling the H2O2-mediated apoptosis of cells undergoing oxidative stress. The results showed that the functionalized collagen spheres can protect cells even under very harsh conditions of oxidative stress.

Abstract
We generated a novel nanoparticle called PVAX, which has intrinsic antiapoptotic and anti-inflammatory properties. This nanoparticle was loaded with neuropeptide Y3-36 (NPY3-36), an angiogenic neurohormone that plays a central role in angiogenesis. Subsequently, we investigated whether PVAX-NPY3-36 could act as a therapeutic agent and induce angiogenesis and vascular remodeling in a murine model of hind limb ischemia. Adult C57BL/J6 mice (n = 40) were assigned to treatment groups: control, ischemia PBS, ischemia PVAX, ischemia NPY3-36, and Ischemia PVAX-NPY3-36 Ischemia was induced by ligation of the femoral artery in all groups except control and given relevant treatments (PBS, PVAX, NPY3-36, and PVAX-NPY3-36). Blood flow was quantified using laser Doppler imaging. On days 3 and 14 posttreatment, mice were euthanized to harvest gastrocnemius muscle for immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting. Blood flow was significantly improved in the PVAX-NPY3-36 group after 14 days. Western blot showed an increase in angiogenic factors VEGF-R2 and PDGF-β (P = 0.0035 and P = 0.031, respectively) and antiapoptotic marker Bcl-2 in the PVAX-NPY3-36 group compared with ischemia PBS group (P = 0.023). Proapoptotic marker Smad5 was significantly decreased in the PVAX-NPY3-36 group as compared with the ischemia PBS group (P = 0.028). Furthermore, Y2 receptors were visualized in endothelial cells of newly formed arteries in the PVAX-NPY3-36 group. In conclusion, we were able to show that PVAX-NPY3-36 can induce angiogenesis and arteriogenesis as well as improve functional blood flow in a murine model of hind limb ischemia.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Our research project proposes a novel method for drug delivery. Our patented PVAX nanoparticle can detect areas of ischemia and oxidative stress. Although there have been studies about delivering angiogenic molecules to areas of ischemic injury, there are drawbacks of nonspecific delivery as well as short half-lives. Our study is unique because it can specifically deliver NPY3-36 to ischemic tissue and appears to extend the amount of time therapy is available, despite NPY3-36's short half-life.

Abstract
Developing a smart drug delivery system with enhanced tumor retention at the tumor site, and rapid intracellular drug release promises to improve the therapeutic index and mitigate side effects. To this end, covalent phenylboronic acid (PBA)-based self-assembly nanoparticles (BNPs) consisting of pH-responsive cores and detachable poloxamer 188 shells were constructed for loading doxorubicin (DOX) in a simple process. The poloxamer 188 coating could be easily detached when the breakage of the borate ester bonds in the external nanocores was initially triggered in the tumor extracellular weak acid environment. The concealed PBA was subsequently exposed and could react with sialic acids (SA), which are overexpressed on tumor cells, and this enhanced the tumor retention effect of the fresh nanoparticle as well as facilitating the cellular uptake after removing the protective layers. Furthermore, owing to the existence of pH-responsive esters, the uptaken fresh nanoparticles could rapidly release DOX in the acidic tumor environment, which resulted in an enhanced therapeutic efficiency in vitro and in vivo. In summary, this pH dependent behaviour of DOX/BNPs provided new insights for enhanced chemotherapeutic treatment in cancer.
