[PMID: 38564889 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2024.122538] [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: 01/05/2024] [Revised: 03/10/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) nanotags have garnered much attention as promising bioimaging contrast agent with ultrahigh sensitivity, but their clinical translation faces challenges including biological and laser safety. As breast sentinel lymph node (SLN) imaging agents, SERS nanotags used by local injection and only accumulation in SLNs, which were removed during surgery, greatly reduce biological safety concerns. But their clinical translation lacks pilot demonstration on large animals close to humans. The laser safety requires irradiance below the maximum permissible exposure threshold, which is currently not achievable in most SERS applications. Here we report the invention of the core-shell SERS nanotags with ultrahigh brightness (1 pM limit of detection) at the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window for SLN identification on pre-clinical animal models including rabbits and non-human primate. We for the first time realize the intraoperative SERS-guided SLN navigation under a clinically safe laser (1.73 J/cm2) and identify multiple axillary SLNs on a non-human primate. No evidence of biosafety issues was observed in systematic examinations of these nanotags. Our study unveils the potential of NIR-II SERS nanotags as appropriate SLN tracers, making significant advances toward the accurate positioning of lesions using the SERS-based tracer technique.

Chitosan-based multifunctional oxygenating antibiotic hydrogel dressings for managing chronic infection in diabetic wounds. Biomater Sci 2024; 12:3458-3470. [PMID: 38836321 PMCID: PMC11197983 DOI: 10.1039/d4bm00355a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/25/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024]
Abstract
Current treatment strategies for infection of chronic wounds often result in compromised healing and necrosis due to antibiotic toxicity, and underlying biomarkers affected by treatments are not fully known. Here, a multifunctional dressing was developed leveraging the unique wound-healing properties of chitosan, a natural polysaccharide known for its numerous benefits in wound care. The dressing consists of an oxygenating perfluorocarbon functionalized methacrylic chitosan (MACF) hydrogel incorporated with antibacterial polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB). A non-healing diabetic infected wound model with emerging metabolomics tools was used to explore the anti-infective and wound healing properties of the resultant multifunctional dressing. Direct bacterial bioburden assessment demonstrated superior antibacterial properties of hydrogels over a commercial dressing. However, wound tissue quality analyses confirmed that sustained PHMB for 21 days resulted in tissue necrosis and disturbed healing. Therefore, a follow-up comparative study investigated the best treatment course for antiseptic application ranging from 7 to 21 days, followed by the oxygenating chitosan-based MACF treatment for the remainder of the 21 days. Bacterial counts, tissue assessments, and lipidomics studies showed that 14 days of application of MACF-PHMB dressings followed by 7 days of MACF dressings provides a promising treatment for managing infected non-healing diabetic skin ulcers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment of skin wounds with diverse pathological characteristics presents significant challenges due to the limited specific and efficacy of current wound healing approaches. Microneedle (MN) patches incorporating bioactive and stimulus materials have emerged as a promising strategy to overcome these limitations and integrating bioactive materials with anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties for advanced wound dressing. METHODS We isolated diphlorethohydroxycarmalol (DPHC) from Ishige okamurae and assessed its anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effects on macrophages and its antibacterial activity against Cutibacterium acnes. Subsequently, we fabricated polylactic acid (PLA) MN patches containing DPHC at various concentrations (0-0.3%) (PDPHC MN patches) and evaluated their mechanical properties and biological effects using in vitro and in vivo models. RESUTLS Our findings demonstrated that DPHC effectively inhibited nitric oxide production in macrophages and exhibited rapid bactericidal activity against C. acnes. The PDPHC MN patches displayed potent antibacterial effects without cytotoxicity. Moreover, in 2,4-Dinitrochlorobenzene-stimulated mouse model, the PDPHC MN patches significantly suppressed inflammatory response and cutaneous lichenification. CONCLUSION The results suggest that the PDPHC MN patches holds promise as a multifunctional wound dressing for skin tissue engineering, offering antibacterial properties and anti-inflammatory properties to promote wound healing process.

Abstract
Diabetic wound management remains a significant challenge in clinical care due to bacterial infections, excessive inflammation, presence of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), and impaired angiogenesis. The use of multifunctional wound dressings has several advantages in diabetic wound healing. Moreover, the balance of macrophage polarization plays a crucial role in promoting skin regeneration. However, few studies have focused on the development of multifunctional wound dressings that can regulate the inflammatory microenvironment and promote diabetic wound healing. In this study, an extracellular matrix-inspired glycopeptide hydrogel composed of glucomannan and polypeptide was proposed for regulating the local microenvironment of diabetic wound sites. The hydrogel network, which was formed via Schiff base and hydrogen bonding interactions, effectively inhibited inflammation and promoted angiogenesis during wound healing. The hydrogels exhibited sufficient self-healing ability and had the potential to scavenge ROS and to activate the mannose receptor (MR), thereby inducing macrophage polarization toward the M2 phenotype. The experimental results confirm that the glycopeptide hydrogel is an effective tool for managing diabetic wounds by showing antibacterial, ROS scavenging, and anti-inflammatory effects, and promoting angiogenesis to facilitate wound repair and skin regeneration in vivo. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: •The designed wound dressing combines the advantage of natural polysaccharide and polypeptide. •The hydrogel promotes M2-polarized macrophages, antibacterial, scavenges ROS, and angiogenesis. •The multifunctional glycopeptide hydrogel dressing could accelerating diabetic wound healing in vivo.

Abstract
Microorganism are ubiquitous and intimately connected with human health and disease management. The accurate and fast identification of pathogenic microorganisms is especially important for diagnosing infections. Herein, three tetraphenylethylene derivatives (S-TDs: TBN, TPN, and TPI) featuring different cationic groups, charge numbers, emission wavelengths, and hydrophobicities were successfully synthesized. Benefiting from distinct cell wall binding properties, S-TDs were collectively utilized to create a sensor array capable of imaging various microorganisms through their characteristic fluorescent signatures. Furthermore, the interaction mechanism between S-TDs and different microorganisms was explored by calculating the binding energy between S-TDs and cell membrane/wall constituents, including phospholipid bilayer and peptidoglycan. Using a combination of the fluorescence sensor array and a deep learning model of residual network (ResNet), readily differentiation of Gram-negative bacteria (G-), Gram-positive bacteria (G+), fungi, and their mixtures was achieved. Specifically, by extensive training of two ResNet models with large quantities of images data from 14 kinds of microorganism stained with S-TDs, identification of microorganism was achieved at high-level accuracy: over 92.8% for both Gram species and antibiotic-resistant species, with 90.35% accuracy for the detection of mixed microorganism in infected wound. This novel method provides a rapid and accurate method for microbial classification, potentially aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases.

Abstract
Skin injuries and drug-resistant bacterial infections pose serious challenges to human health. It is essential to establish a novel multifunctional platform with good anti-infection and wound-healing abilities. In this study, a new MXene-doped composite microneedle (MN) patch with excellent mechanical strength and photothermal antibacterial and ROS removal properties has been developed for infected wound healing. When the MN tips carrying the MXene nanosheets are inserted into the cuticle of the skin, they will quickly dissolve and subsequently release the nanomaterials into the subcutaneous infection area. Under 808 nm NIR irradiation, the MXene, as a "nano-thermal knife", sterilizes and inhibits bacterial growth through synergistic effects of sharp edges and photothermal antibacterial activity. Furthermore, ROS caused by injury and infection can be cleared by MXene-doped MNs to avoid excessive inflammatory responses. Based on the synergistic antibacterial and antioxidant strategy, the MXene-doped MNs have demonstrated excellent wound-healing properties in an MRSA-infected wound model, such as promoting re-epithelialization, collagen deposition, and angiogenesis and inhibiting the expression of pro-inflammatory factors. Therefore, the multifunctional MXene-doped MN patches provide an excellent alternative for clinical drug-resistant bacteria-infected wound management.

Abstract
Wound infections hinder the healing process and potentially result in life-threatening complications, which urgently require rapid and timely detection and treatment pathogens during the early stages of infection. Here, an intelligent wound dressing was developed to enable in situ detection and elimination of pathogenic bacteria through a combination of point-of-care testing and antibacterial photodynamic therapy technology. The dressing is an injectable hydrogel composed of carboxymethyl chitosan and oxidized sodium alginate, with addition of 4-methylumphulone beta-D-glucoside (MUG) and up-converted nanoparticles coated with titanium dioxide (UCNPs@TiO2). The presence of bacteria can be visually detected by monitoring the blue fluorescence of 4-methylumbellione, generated through the reaction between MUG and the pathogen-associated enzyme. The UCNPs@TiO2 photosensitizers were synthesized and demonstrated high antibacterial activity through the generation of reactive oxygen species when exposed to near-infrared irradiation. Meanwhile, a smartphone-based portable detection system equipped with a self-developed Android app was constructed for in situ detection of pathogens in mere seconds, detecting as few as 103 colony-forming unit. Additionally, the dressing was tested in a rat infected wound model and showed good antibacterial activity and pro-healing ability. These results suggest that the proposed intelligent wound dressing has potential for use in the diagnosis and management of wound infections. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: An intelligent wound dressing has been prepared for simultaneous in situ detection and elimination of pathogenic bacteria. The presence of bacteria can be visually detected by tracking the blue fluorescence of the dressing. Moreover, a smartphone-based detection system was constructed to detect and diagnose pathogenic bacteria before reaching the infection limit. Meanwhile, the dressing was able to effectively eliminate key pathogenic bacteria on demand through antibacterial photodynamic therapy under NIR irradiation. The proposed intelligent wound dressing enables timely detection and treatment of infectious pathogens at an early stage, which is beneficial for wound management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bacterial infection can delay wound healing and is therefore a major threat to public health. Although various strategies have been developed to treat bacterial infections, antibiotics remain the best option to combat infections. The inclusion of growth factors in the treatment approach can also accelerate wound healing. The co-delivery of antibiotics and growth factors for the combined treatment of wounds needs further investigation. OBJECTIVE Here we aimed to develop antibiotic and growth factor co-loaded nanoparticles (NPs) to treat Staphylococcus aureus-infected wounds. METHODS By using our previously prepared reactive oxygen species-responsive material (Oxi-αCD), roxithromycin (ROX)-loaded NPs (ROX/Oxi-αCD NPs) and recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF)/ROX co-loaded NPs (rhEGF/ROX/Oxi-αCD NPs) were successfully fabricated. The in vivo efficacy of this prepared nanomedicine was evaluated in mice with S. aureus-infected wounds. RESULTS ROX/Oxi-αCD NPs and rhEGF/ROX/Oxi-αCD NPs had a spherical structure and their particle sizes were 164 ± 5 nm and 190 ± 8 nm, respectively. The in vitro antibacterial experiments showed that ROX/Oxi-αCD NPs had a lower minimum inhibitory concentration than ROX. The in vivo animal experiments demonstrated that rhEGF/ROX/Oxi-αCD NPs could significantly accelerate the healing of S. aureus-infected wounds as compared to the free ROX drug and ROX/Oxi-αCD NPs (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION ROX and rhEGF co-loaded NPs can effectively eliminate bacteria in wounds and accelerate wound healing. Our present work could provide a new strategy to combat bacteria-infected wounds.

Abstract
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are usually caused by co-infections of bacteria and viruses. However, there is a lack of products that possess both antibacterial and antiviral activities without using chemical drugs. Here, we developed a carrageenan silver nanoparticle composite hydrogel (IC-AgNPs-Gel) based on the antiviral activity of iota carrageenan (IC) and the antibacterial effect of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to prevent STDs. IC-AgNPs-Gel showed excellent biocompatibility, hemostasis, antibacterial and antiviral effects. IC-AgNPs-Gel not only effectively prevented S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and C. albicans without using antibiotics, but also significantly inhibited human papilloma virus (HPV)-16 and HPV-6 without using chemotherapy drugs. Moreover, IC-AgNPs-Gel showed the effects of accelerating infected wound healing and reducing inflammation in a rat wound model infected with S. aureus. Therefore, the multifunctional hydrogel shows great potential application prospect in preventing STDs.

Abstract
Scavenging free radicals and reducing inflammatory reaction to relieve the secondary damage are important issues in the spinal cord injury (SCI) therapeutic strategy. Nanozymes attract more attention in the drug development of SCI due to the high stability, long-lasting catalytic capacity, and multienzyme-like properties. Herein, we constructed a Rapamycin (Rapa)-loaded and hollow mesoporous Prussian blue (HMPB)-based nanozyme (RHPAzyme) to realize the combined antioxidation and anti-inflammation combination therapy of SCI. Furthermore, activated cell penetrating peptide (ACPP) is modified onto nanozyme to endow the effectively ability of lesion area-targeting. This RHPAzyme exhibits ROS scavenging capacity with the transformation of Fe2+/Fe3+ valance and cyanide group of HMPB to achieve multienzyme-like activity. As expected, RHPAzyme scavenges the ROS overproduction and reduces inflammation in oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced damage via inhibiting MAPK/AKT signaling pathway. Furtherly, RHPAzyme exhibits the combined antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity in vivo, which can effectively alleviate neuronal damage and promote motor function recovery in SCI mice. Overall, this study demonstrates the RHPAzyme induces an effective treatment of SCI by inhibiting oxygen-mediated cell apoptosis and suppressing inflammation-induced injury, thus reduces the nervous impairment and promotes motor function recovery.

Abstract
In this focus article, we provide a scrutinizing analysis of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) as the two common methods to study the sizes of nanoparticles with focus on the application in pharmaceutics and drug delivery. Control over the size and shape of nanoparticles is one of the key factors for many biomedical systems. Particle size will substantially affect their permeation through biological membranes. For example, an enhanced permeation and retention effect requires a very narrow range of sizes of nanoparticles (50-200 nm) and even a minor deviation from these values will substantially affect the delivery of drug nanocarriers to the tumour. However, amazingly a great number of research papers in pharmaceutics and drug delivery report a striking difference in nanoparticle size measured by the two most popular experimental techniques (TEM and DLS). In some cases, this difference was reported to be 200-300%, raising the question of which size measurement result is more trustworthy. In this focus article, we primarily focus on the physical aspects that are responsible for the routinely observed mismatch between TEM and DLS results. Some of these factors such as concentration and angle dependencies are commonly underestimated and misinterpreted. We convincingly show that correctly used experimental procedures and a thorough analysis of results generated using both methods can eliminate the DLS and TEM data mismatch completely or will make the results much closer to each other. Also, we provide a clear roadmap for drug delivery and pharmaceutical researchers to conduct reliable DLS measurements.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds are characterized by drug-resistant bacterial infections, biofilm formation, impaired angiogenesis and perfusion, and oxidative damage to the microenvironment. Given their complex nature, diabetic wounds remain a major challenge in clinical practice. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), which have been shown to trigger hyperinflammation and excessive cellular apoptosis, play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of diabetic wounds. ROS-scavenging nanosystems have recently emerged as smart and multifunctional nanomedicines with broad synergistic applicability. The documented anti-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic ability of ROS-scavenging treatments predestines these nanosystems as promising options for the treatment of diabetic wounds. Yet, in this context, the therapeutic applicability and efficacy of ROS-scavenging nanosystems remain to be elucidated. Herein, the role of ROS in diabetic wounds is deciphered, and the properties and strengths of nanosystems with ROS-scavenging capacity for the treatment of diabetic wounds are summarized. In addition, the current challenges of such nanosystems and their potential future directions are discussed through a clinical-translational lens.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework-based metal ion therapy has attracted increasing attention to promote the cascade wound-healing process. However, multimetal ion synergistic administration and accurately controlled ion release are still the challenges. Herein, an aptamer-functionalized silver@cupriferous Prussian blue (ACPA) is established as a metal-based theranostic nanoagent for a chronic nonhealing diabetic wound treatment. Prussian blue offers a programmable nanoplatform to formulate metal ion prescriptions, achieving cooperative wound healing. Silver, copper, and iron ions are released from ACPA controlled by the near-infrared-triggered mild hyperthermia and then synergistically participate in antipathogen, cell migration, and revascularization. ACPA also demonstrates a unique core-satellite nanostructure which enables it with improved surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) capability as potent bacteria-targeted Raman-silent nanoprobe to monitor the residual bacteria during wound healing with nearly zero background. The theranostic feature of ACPA allows high-performance SERS imaging-guided chronic wound healing in infectious diabetic skin and keratitis.

Abstract
Bacterial-associated wound infections are an obstacle for individuals and the medical industry. Developing versatile, antibiotic-free therapies helps heal wounds more quickly and efficiently. In the current study, fungal metabolites were employed as a reducing agent in fabricating selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) for improved antibacterial and wound healing properties. Utilizing UV-visible spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and electron microscopic examination, the properties of the synthesized nanoparticles were extensively evaluated. Myco-synthesized SeNPs demonstrated strong antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 0.3125 mg/mL, reducing cell number and shape distortion in scanning electron microscope (SEM) images. SeNPs' topical administration significantly reduced wound area and healing time, exhibiting the least bacterial load after six days compared to controls. After six and 11 days of treatment, SeNPs could decrease proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α production. The histopathological investigation showed a healed ulcer with moderate infiltration of inflammatory cells after exposing mice's skin to SeNPs for six and 11 days. The docking interaction indicated that SeNPs were highly efficient against the IL-6 and TNF-α binding receptors. These findings imply that myco-fabricated SeNPs might be used as topically applied antimicrobial agents for treating skin infections and wounds.

Abstract
Nanoscience has set off a wave in biomedicine to improve the performance of drugs in recent years, but additional materials are usually required for supramolecular nanoconstruction, undoubtedly increasing the health risks. Herein, we discovered a novel diterpene supramolecular self-assembly system without additional chemicals, Nepebracteatalic Acid nanoparticles (NA NPs), mediated through hydrogen bond, hydrophobic and electrostatic interaction. NA NPs performed sustained release behavior, lower expression levels for IL-6 and TNF-α than clinical anti-inflammatory drug Indometacin. Furthermore, the effect of NA NPs on the related protein p65 expression levels of nuclear factor-κB (NFκB) signaling pathway is quantified to confirm the enhanced anti-inflammatory property based on the self-assembly strategy. Meanwhile, the prepared nanoparticles have good biocompatibility which ensures outstanding inflammation inhibition, collagen deposition, angiogenesis during wound healing. This work opens up new prospects that carrier-free nanoparticles from NPMs have great potential to exert clinical application value, meanwhile providing reference for developing green nanoscience.

Abstract
The increased spread and persistence of bacterial drug-resistant phenotypes remains a public health concern and has contributed significantly to the challenge of combating antibiotic resistance. Nanotechnology is considered an encouraging strategy in the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections; this new strategy should improve therapeutic efficacy and minimize side effects. Evidence has shown that various nanomaterials with antibacterial performance, such as metal-based nanoparticles (i.e., silver, gold, copper, and zinc oxide) have intrinsic antibacterial properties. These antibacterial agents, such as those made of metal oxides, carbon nanomaterials, and polymers, have been used not only to improve antibacterial efficacy but also to reduce bacterial drug resistance due to their interaction with bacteria and their photophysical properties. These nanostructures have been used as effective agents for photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) to kill bacteria locally by heating or the controlled production of reactive oxygen species. Additionally, PTT or PDT therapies have also been combined with photoacoustic (PA) imaging to simultaneously improve treatment efficacy, safety, and accuracy. In this present review, we present, on the one hand, a summary of research highlighting the use of PTT-sensitive metallic nanomaterials for the treatment of bacterial and fungal infections, and, on the other hand, an overview of studies showing the PA-mediated theranostic functionality of metal-based nanomaterials.

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
Omics technologies have rapidly evolved with the unprecedented potential to shape precision medicine. Novel omics approaches are imperative toallow rapid and accurate data collection and integration with clinical information and enable a new era of healthcare. In this comprehensive review, we highlight the utility of Raman spectroscopy (RS) as an emerging omics technology for clinically relevant applications using clinically significant samples and models. We discuss the use of RS both as a label-free approach for probing the intrinsic metabolites of biological materials, and as a labeled approach where signal from Raman reporters conjugated to nanoparticles (NPs) serve as an indirect measure for tracking protein biomarkers in vivo and for high throughout proteomics. We summarize the use of machine learning algorithms for processing RS data to allow accurate detection and evaluation of treatment response specifically focusing on cancer, cardiac, gastrointestinal, and neurodegenerative diseases. We also highlight the integration of RS with established omics approaches for holistic diagnostic information. Further, we elaborate on metal-free NPs that leverage the biological Raman-silent region overcoming the challenges of traditional metal NPs. We conclude the review with an outlook on future directions that will ultimately allow the adaptation of RS as a clinical approach and revolutionize precision medicine.

Abstract
Due to the lack of sufficient elasticity and strain sensing capability, protein-based ultrafine fibrous tissue engineering scaffolds, though favorable for skin repair, can hardly fulfill on-spot wound monitoring during healing. Herein, we designed highly elastic corn protein ultrafine fibrous smart scaffolds with a three-layer structure for motion tracking at an unpackaged state. The densely cross-linked protein networks were efficiently established by introducing a highly reactive epoxy and provided the fiber substrates with wide-range stretchability (360% stretching range) and ultrahigh elasticity (99.91% recovery rate) at a wet state. With the assistance of the polydopamine bonding layer, a silver conductive sensing layer was built on the protein fibers and endowed the scaffolds with wide strain sensing range (264%), high sensitivity (gauge factor up to 210.55), short response time (<70 ms), reliable cycling stability, and long-lasting duration (up to 30 days). The unpackaged smart scaffolds could not only support cell growth and accelerate wound closure but also track motions on skin and in vivo and trigger alarms once excessive wound deformations occurred. These features not only confirmed the great potential of these smart scaffolds for applications in tissue reconstruction and wound monitoring but also proved the possibility of employing various plant protein ultrafine fibers as flexible bioelectronics.

Abstract
Detection of biomarkers associated with wound conditions provides in-depth healthcare information and benefits wound healing treatment. The current aim of wound detection is to achieve in situ multiple detections. Novel encoded structural color microneedle patches (EMNs) combining photonic crystals (PhCs) and microneedle arrays (MNs) for multiple wound biomarker detection in situ are described here. Using a partitioned and layered casting strategy, the EMNs can be divided into different modules and each serves for the detection of small molecules , including pH, glucose, and histamine. pH sensing is based on the interaction between hydrogen ions and carboxyl groups from hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (PAM); glucose sensing is achieved with the help of glucose-responsive fluorophenylboronic acid (FPBA); while histamine sensing relies on specific recognition of aptamers and target molecules. Owing to the responsive volume change of these three modules in the presence of target molecules, the EMNs can create structural color change and characteristic peak shift of the PhCs, thus realizing the qualitative measurement of target molecules with a spectrum analyzer. It is further demonstrated that the EMNs behave well in the multivariate detection of rat wound molecules. These features indicate that the EMNs can be valuable smart detection systems for wound status screening.

Abstract
Bacterial infection and oxidative stress hinder clinical wound healing. Therefore, wound dressings with antibacterial and antioxidative properties are urgently needed. In this study, a type of quaternized lignin (QL) functionalized poly(hexamethylene biguanide) hydrochloride (PHMB) complex incorporated polyacrylamide (QL-PHMB-PAM) hydrogel was developed as a multifunctional dressing material for the promotion of infected wound repair. Owing to the abundant catechol groups of quaternized lignin, the QL-PHMB-PAM hydrogel exhibited robust repeatable adhesiveness to various substrates with antioxidative properties. Additionally, the antibacterial components of PHMB in the QL-PHMB-PAM composite hydrogel showed high efficiency and long-term antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus), Escherichia coli (E.coli), and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA; up to 100%). Furthermore, in vivo experiments indicated that this multifunctional hydrogel accelerated the healing of S. aureus-infected wounds by promoting the reconstruction of blood vessels and hair follicles. These results demonstrate that this antioxidative, antibacterial, and bioadhesive hydrogel is a promising alternative wound dressing material for the prevention of bacterial infections and the acceleration of infected wound regeneration.

Abstract
Proper management of exudate is of great clinical value for reducing wound infection and promoting wound healing, thus various dressings have been studied to address this widespread medical challenge. Herein, a novel sandwich-structured composite wound dressing (SCWD), integrating of a superlyophobic (SLO) polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer, a superlyophilic gauze layer, and a lyophobic PDMS layer is presented, with particular unidirectional droplet drainage and stable anti-adhesion capabilities, which realizes effective management of wound exudate and provides a favorable environment for wound healing. Thanks to the stable SLO property on the PDMS surface with hierarchical micro/nanostructures, the continuously accumulated wound exudate at the interface between dressing and wound surface is gradually deformed, eventually passing through SLO PDMS layer through milli-scale channels and being absorbed by gauze layer. Experimental results show that the application of SCWD can significantly reduce the occurrence of wound infection, avoid the tearing of wound tissues when replacing dressings, and accelerate wound healing by ≈20%. The combination of SCWD and lyophilized powders of stem cells supernatant (LPSCS) is verified to better accelerate the healing process. The proposed method offers great potential in clinical applications, particularly for acute trauma wound treatments.

Abstract
The effective prevention and treatment of bacterial infections is imperative to wound repair and the improvement of patient outcomes. In recent years, nanomaterials have been extensively applied in infection control and wound healing due to their special physiochemical and biological properties. Incorporating antibacterial nanomaterials into wound dressing has been associated with improved biosafety and enhanced treatment outcomes compared to naked nanomaterials. In this review, we discuss progress in the application of nanomaterial-based wound dressings for advanced management of infected wounds. Focus is given to antibacterial therapy as well as the all-in-one detection and treatment of bacterial infections. Notably, we highlight progress in the use of nanoparticles with intrinsic antibacterial performances, such as metals and metal oxide nanoparticles that are capable of killing bacteria and reducing the drug-resistance of bacteria through multiple antimicrobial mechanisms. In addition, we discuss nanomaterials that have been proven to be ideal drug carriers for the delivery and release of antimicrobials either in passive or in stimuli-responsive manners. Focus is given to nanomaterials with the ability to kill bacteria based on the photo-triggered heat (photothermal therapy) or ROS (photodynamic therapy), due to their unparalleled advantages in infection control. Moreover, we highlight examples of intelligent nanomaterial-based wound dressings that can detect bacterial infections in-situ while providing timely antibacterial therapy for enhanced management of infected wounds. Finally, we highlight challenges associated with the current nanomaterial-based wound dressings and provide further perspectives for future improvement of wound healing.

Abstract
Hydrogels have been utilized extensively in the field of cutaneous wound treatment. The introduction of nanomaterials (NMs), which are a big category of materials with diverse functionalities, can endow the hydrogels with additional and multiple functions to meet the demand for a comprehensive performance in wound dressings. Therefore, NMs-functionalized hydrogels (NMFHs) as wound dressings have drawn intensive attention recently. Herein, an overview of reports about NMFHs for the treatment of cutaneous wounds in the past five years is provided. Firstly, fabrication strategies, which are mainly divided into physical embedding and chemical synthesis of the NMFHs, are summarized and illustrated. Then, functions of the NMFHs brought by the NMs are reviewed, including hemostasis, antimicrobial activity, conductivity, regulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, and stimulus responsiveness (pH responsiveness, photo-responsiveness, and magnetic responsiveness). Finally, current challenges and future perspectives in this field are discussed with the hope of inspiring additional ideas.

Abstract
Antibiotics guard us against bacterial infections and are among the most commonly used medicines. The immediate consequence of their large-scale production and prescription is the development of antibiotic resistance. Therefore, rapid detection of antibiotic susceptibility is required for efficient antimicrobial therapy. One of the promising methods for rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing is Raman spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopy combines fast and contactless acquisition of spectra with good selectivity towards bacterial cells. The antibiotic-induced changes in bacterial cell physiology are detected as distinct features in Raman spectra and can be associated with antibiotic susceptibility. Therefore, the Raman-based approach may be beneficial in designing therapy against multidrug-resistant infections. The surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and resonance Raman spectroscopy (RRS) additionally provide excellent sensitivity. In this review, we present an analysis of the Raman spectroscopy-based optical biosensing approaches aimed at antibiotic susceptibility testing.

Abstract
Fungal keratitis is one of the most common blindness-causing diseases, but clinical antifungal treatment remains a challenge. The fungal cell wall and biofilm matrix which severely confine the drug preparation are the critical obstructive factors to therapeutic effects. Herein, we report ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) modified AgCu2O nanoparticles (AgCuE NPs) to disrupt the cell wall and then eradicate C. albicans through the internal cascade synergistic effects of ion-released chemotherapy, chemodynamic therapy, photodynamic therapy, and mild photothermal therapy. AgCuE NPs exhibited excellent antifungal activity both in preventing biofilm formation and in destroying mature biofilms. Furthermore, AgCuE NP based gel formulations were topically applied to kill fungi, reduce inflammation, and promote wound healing, using optical coherence tomography and photoacoustic imaging to monitor nanogel retention and therapeutic effects on the infected murine cornea model. The AgCuE NP gel showed good biosafety and no obvious ophthalmic and systemic side effects. This study suggests that the AgCuE NP gel is an effective and safe antifungal strategy for fungal keratitis with a favorable prognosis and potential for clinical translation.

Abstract
Bacterial infection is an urgent public health problem. We design a novel photo-responsive hybrid material by growing small molecules of curcumin (Cur) in situ on a sea urchin-like Bi2S3 surface by a one-step hydrothermal reaction method, thus forming an organic-inorganic hybrid material with interfacial contact. The Bi2S3/Cur hybrid material has good antibacterial effect under 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation. The antibacterial mechanism is that the electron redistribution at the interface of Bi2S3/Cur excited by 808 nm NIR light will cause a large number of electrons to gather on the side of Bi2S3, forming an internal electric field to drive the excited electrons from Bi2S3 to Cur, which accelerates the separation of photoexcited electron-hole pairs and enhances the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In conclusion, due to these synergistic effects of the photothermal properties of Bi2S3, the production of more ROS and the release of small molecules of Cur from traditional Chinese medicine in Bi2S3/Cur, the antibacterial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) is 99.96% and 99.03%, respectively. In vivo experiments in animals show that Bi2S3/Cur can reduce the inflammatory response and promote wound healing. This paper presents a simple, rapid and safe strategy for the treatment of wound infections with near-infrared light.

Abstract
The misuse and mismanagement of antibiotics have made the treatment of bacterial infections a challenge. This challenge is magnified when bacteria form biofilms, which can increase bacterial resistance up to 1000 times. It is desirable to develop anti-infective materials with antibacterial activity and no resistance to drugs. With the rapid development of nanotechnology, anti-infective strategies based on metal and metal oxide nanomaterials have been widely used in antibacterial and antibiofilm treatments. Here, this review expounds on the state-of-the-art applications of metal and metal oxide nanomaterials in bacterial infective diseases. A specific attention is given to the antibacterial mechanisms of metal and metal oxide nanomaterials, including disrupting cell membranes, damaging proteins, and nucleic acid. Moreover, a practical antibiofilm mechanism employing these metal and metal oxide nanomaterials is also introduced based on the composition of biofilm, including extracellular polymeric substance, quorum sensing, and bacteria. Finally, current challenges and future perspectives of metal and metal oxide nanomaterials in the anti-infective field are presented to facilitate their development and use.

Abstract
The decline in the performance of spiral-wound reverse osmosis (SWRO) membranes is frequently due to biofouling. This study focus on qualitative and quantitative diagnosis of SWRO membrane biofouling. Bacterial counts on the different surfaces of the fouled membranes were carried out. Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) was performed to highlight clogging materials as well as their natures and identity. The topography of the fouled membranes and the structures of biofilms were visualized by fluorescence microscopy (FM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated the presence of bacteria in the different SWRO membrane areas. Those strongly adhered were significantly higher than those weakly. It varied between 26 × 105 and 262 × 105 CFU m-2. However, SERS mapping showed different fouling levels and the thickness of the fouling layer was 5 µm. Microscopic imaging revealed biotic and abiotic deposits. These data can together allow better management of the seawater desalination process.

Abstract
Gold and silver nanoparticles (NPs) are widely used in the biomedical research both in the therapeutic and the sensing/diagnostics fronts. Both metals share some common optical properties with surface plasmon resonance being the most widely exploited property in therapeutics and diagnostics. Au NPs exhibit excellent light‐to‐heat conversion efficiencies and hence have found applications primarily in precision oncology, while Ag NPs have excellent antibacterial properties which can be harnessed in biomaterials' design. Both metals constitute excellent biosensing platforms owing to their plasmonic properties and are now routinely used in various optical platforms. The utilization of Au and Ag NPs in the COVID‐19 pandemic was rapidly expanded mostly in biosensing and point‐of‐care platforms and to some extent in therapeutics. In this review article, the main physicochemical properties of Au and Ag NPs are discussed with selective examples from the recent literature. This article is categorized under:Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Oncologic Disease Diagnostic Tools > In Vitro Nanoparticle‐Based Sensing Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Nanoscale Systems in Biology

Abstract
Tissue bacterial infections are a major pathological factor in many diseases. Effects on this aspect are in focus for the development of coordinated therapeutic strategies for bacterial killing and anti-inflammation. Here, inspired by the biodetoxification capacity of immune cells, multifunctional biomimetic nanovesicles (MϕM-LPs) that are co-assembled by macrophage membranes and artificial lipids to deliver antibiotics for treating bacterial infections, are presented. The macrophage membrane endows the MϕM-LPs with the capacity of lipopolysaccharide and inflammatory cytokine neutralization, while the artificial lipid membrane can be further engineered to increase the fluidity and anchor to bacteria. In addition, the MϕM-LPs can deliver sufficient ciprofloxacin with controllable release to accomplish an excellent antibacterial activity and biodetoxification capacity in vitro. Based on these advantages, it is demonstrated in a mouse model of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) focal infection, that a single injection of the biomimetic nanovesicles can effectively anchor to and eliminate S. aureus in the infected tissue and reduce inflammatory cytokine levels. Thus, the tissue regeneration and collagen deposition can be accelerated. These results indicate the potential values of integrating natural and artificial membrane materials as a multifunctional biomimetic drug delivery system to treat bacterial infections.

Abstract
Developing effectively synergistic multi-mode drug delivery nanoplatform for cancer treatment is of great significance but still challenging. Here, we construct core-shell (CaO2@Au nanoshells) nanoparticles coated with doxorubicin-loaded hyaluronic acid. The developed platform can be used as synergistic H2O2 self-supplying and near-infrared-enhanced reactive oxygen species producer for chemodynamic-photothermal-chemotherapy multi-mode drug delivery. In this platform, the CaO2 possesses a high capacity of self-supplying H2O2 in acidic conditions, while retains desired stability under physiological conditions. The in-situ deposited Au nanoshells not only provide a remarkable photothermal therapy, but function as peroxidase mimics to catalyze H2O2 to produce hydroxyl radical to afford highly efficient chemodynamic therapy. Furthermore, the outer layer hyaluronic acid can load doxorubicin and target overexpressed receptor CD44 of cancer cell, meanwhile, trigger release of DOX in photothermal condition and acidic tumor microenvironment. The results of in vitro cell viability and in vivo tumor inhibition indicate that the developed synergistic nanoplatform hold the potential as an efficient strategy for chemodynamic-photothermal-chemotherapy combination therapy of cancer.

Abstract
Background The rapid spread of infectious bacteria has brought great challenges to public health. It is imperative to explore effective and environment-friendly antibacterial modality to defeat antibiotic-resistant bacteria with high biosafety and broad-spectrum antibacterial property. Results Herein, biocompatible Cu3SnS4 nanoflakes (NFs) were prepared by a facile and low-cost fabrication procedure. These Cu3SnS4 NFs could be activated by visible light, leading to visible light-mediated photocatalytic generation of a myriad of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Besides, the plasmonic Cu3SnS4 NFs exhibit strong near infrared (NIR) absorption and a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 55.7%. The ROS mediated cellular oxidative damage and the NIR mediated photothermal disruption of bacterial membranes collaboratively contributed to the advanced antibacterial therapy, which has been validated by the efficient eradication of both Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains in vitro and in vivo. Meanwhile, the exogenous copper ions metabolism from the Cu3SnS4 NFs facilitated the endothelial cell angiogenesis and collagen deposition, thus expediting the wound healing. Importantly, the inherent localized surface plasmon resonance effect of Cu3SnS4 NFs empowered them as an active substrate for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) imaging and SERS-labeled bacteria detection. Conclusions The low cost and biocompatibility together with the solar-driven broad-spectrum photocatalytic/photothermal antibacterial property of Cu3SnS4 NFs make them a candidate for sensitive bacteria detection and effective antibacterial treatment.

Abstract
Abstract:
Wound healing is a complex and dynamic process that requires intricate synchronization between multiple cell types within appropriate extracellular microenvironment. Wound healing process involves four overlapping phases in a precisely regulated manner, consisting of hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and maturation. For an effective wound healing all four phases must follow in a sequential pattern within a time frame. Several factors might interfere with one or more of these phases in healing process, thus causing improper or impaired wound healing resulting in non-healing chronic wounds. The complications associated with chronic non-healing wounds, along with the limitations of existing wound therapies, have led to the development and emergence of novel and innovative therapeutic interventions. Nanotechnology presents unique and alternative approaches to accelerate the healing of chronic wounds by the interaction of nanomaterials during different phases of wound healing. This review focuses on recent innovative nanotechnology-based strategies for wound healing and tissue regeneration based on nanomaterials, including nanoparticles, nanocomposites and scaffolds. The efficacy of the intrinsic therapeutic potential of nanomaterials (including silver, gold, zinc oxide, copper, cerium oxide, etc.) and the ability of nanomaterials as carriers (liposomes, hydrogels, polymeric nanomaterials, nanofibers) as therapeutic agents associated with wound-healing applications have also been addressed. The significance of these nanomaterial-based therapeutic interventions for wound healing needs to be highlighted to engage researchers and clinicians towards this new and exciting area of bio-nanoscience. We believe that these recent developments will offer researchers an updated source on the use of nanomaterials as an advanced approach to improve wound healing.

Abstract
Chronic wound infection is one of the critical complications of diabetes and is difficult to cure. Although great efforts have been made, the development of special dressings that serve as therapeutic strategies to effectively promote wound healing in diabetic individuals remains a major challenge. In this study, a shape-programmable hierarchical fibrous membrane composite system is developed for synergistic modulation of the inflammatory microenvironment to treat chronically infected wounds. The system comprises a functional layer and a shape-programmable backing layer. A temperature-responsive shape-memory mechanism achieves biaxial mechanically active contractions of diabetic wounds in a programmable manner. To summarize, the membrane system combines antimicrobial activity, controlled drug release according to the need of wound healing, mechanical modulation with shape-programmable, robust adhesion, and on-demand debonding to biological tissue to rationally guide chronic wound management. A synergistic combination of antibacterial fiber network and released drugs shows broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. In vitro and in vivo evaluations indicate the dressing efficiency in promoting and supporting wound healing. The insights from this study demonstrate the effectiveness of a hierarchical composite membrane system with shape-programmability as a potential treatment in the care of diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) nanotags hold a unique place among bioimaging contrast agents due to their fingerprint-like spectra, which provide one of the highest degrees of detection specificity. However, in order to achieve a sufficiently high signal intensity, targeting capabilities, and biocompatibility, all components of nanotags must be rationally designed and tailored to a specific application. Design parameters include fine-tuning the properties of the plasmonic core as well as optimizing the choice of Raman reporter molecule, surface coating, and targeting moieties for the intended application. This review introduces readers to the principles of SERS nanotag design and discusses both established and emerging protocols of their synthesis, with a specific focus on the construction of SERS nanotags in the context of bioimaging and theranostics.

Abstract
Diabetic foot infection caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria, is becoming serious problem. Moreover, polymicrobial biofilms contribute significantly to the persistent infections. In the present study, we investigated the effectiveness of novel toluidine blue conjugated chitosan coated gold-silver core-shell nanoparticles (TBO-chit-Au-AgNPs) mediated photodynamic therapy and demonstrate their use as a nontoxic antibacterial therapy to combat diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) caused by multi-drug resistant strains both in monomicrobial and polymicrobial state of infection. In vitro efficacy of TBO-chit-Au-AgNPs mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) against polymicrobial biofilms was determined using standard plate count method and compared with that of monomicrobial biofilms of each species. Different anti-biofilm assays and microscopic studies were performed to check the efficacy of TBO-chit-Au-AgNPs mediated PDT, displayed significant decrease in the formation of biofilm. Finally, its therapeutic potential was validated in vivo type-2DFU. Cytokines level was found reduced, using nano-phototheranostic approach, indicating infection control. Expression profile of growth factors confirmed both the pathogenesis and healing of DFU. Hence, we conclude that TBO-chit-Au-AgNPs mediated PDT is a promising anti-bacterial therapeutic approach which leads to a synergistic healing of DFU caused by MDR bacterial strains.

Abstract
The reliability and reproducibility of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology is still a great challenge in bio-related analysis. Prussian blue (PB)-based SERS tags have attracted increasing interest for improving these deficiencies due to its unique Raman band (near 2156 cm-1) in the Raman-silent region, providing zero-background bio-Raman labels without interference from endogenous biomolecules. Moreover, the stable PB shell consisting of multiple layers of CN- reporters ensure a stable and strong Raman signal output, avoiding the desorption of the Raman reporter from the plasmonic region by the competitive adsorption of the analyte. More importantly, they possess outstanding multiplexing potential in biological analysis owing to the adjustable Raman shift with unique narrow spectral widths. Despite more attention having been attracted to the structure and preparation of PB-based SERS tags for their better biological applications over the past five years, there is still a great challenge for SERS suitable for applications in the actual environment. The biological applications of PB-based SERS tags are comprehensively recounted in this minireview, mainly focusing on quantification analysis, multiple-spectral analysis and cell-imaging joint phototherapy. The prospects of PB-based SERS tags in clinical diagnosis and treatment are also discussed. This review aims to draw attention to the importance of SERS tags and provide a reference for the design and application of PB-based SERS tags in future bio-applications.
