Abstract
Natural macromolecules have attracted increasing attention due to their biocompatibility, low toxicity, and biodegradability. Pectin is one of the few polysaccharides with biomedical activity, consequently a candidate in biomedical and drug delivery Applications. Rhamnogalacturonan-II, a smaller component in pectin, plays a major role in biomedical activities. The ubiquitous presence of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups in pectin contribute to their hydrophilicity and, hence, to the favorable biocompatibility, low toxicity, and biodegradability. However, pure pectin-based materials present undesirable swelling and corrosion properties. The hydrophilic groups, via coordination, electrophilic addition, esterification, transesterification reactions, can contribute to pectin's physicochemical properties. Here the properties, extraction, and modification of pectin, which are fundamental to biomedical and drug delivery applications, are reviewed. Moreover, the synthesis, properties, and performance of pectin-based hybrid materials, composite materials, and emulsions are elaborated. The comprehensive review presented here can provide valuable information on pectin and its biomedical and drug delivery applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Effective methods to deliver therapeutic genes to solid tumors and improve their bioavailability are the main challenges of current medical research on gene therapy. The development of efficient non-viral gene vector with tumor-targeting has very important application value in the field of cancer therapy. Proteolipid integrated with tumor-targeting potential of functional protein and excellent gene delivery performance has shown potential for targeted gene therapy. RESULTS Herein, we prepared transferrin-modified liposomes (Tf-PL) for the targeted delivery of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) therapeutic gene to liver cancer. We found that the derived Tf-PL/AChE liposomes exhibited much higher transfection efficiency than the commercial product Lipo 2000 and shown premium targeting efficacy to liver cancer SMMC-7721 cells in vitro. In vivo, the Tf-PL/AChE could effectively target liver cancer, and significantly inhibit the growth of liver cancer xenografts grafted in nude mice by subcutaneous administration. CONCLUSIONS This study proposed a transferrin-modified proteolipid-mediated gene delivery strategy for targeted liver cancer treatment, which has a promising potential for precise personalized cancer therapy.

Abstract
The application of non-toxic carriers to increase drug loading, multi-drug delivery, and extremely small size of nano-drugs to construct a tremendous transmission system is the goal for all researchers to be pursued. The proposal of natural pectin nano-platform for delivery of multiple drugs is critical for biomedical research, especially a particle size of below 100nm with high yield. Here we design a new core-shell structure pectin-eight-arm polyethylene glycol-ursolic acid/hydrooxycampothecin nanoparticle (Pec-8PUH NPs) through a special self-assembly method for stabilizing and dispersing particles, improving water-solubility, and achieving drug controlled release. The obtained Pec-8PUH NPs possessed appropriate size (~91nm), drug-loaded efficiency and encapsulation efficiency through the regulation of eight-arm polyethylene glycol. In addition, Pec-8PUH NPs could enhance cell cytotoxicity, shorten blood retention time (7.3-fold UA, 7.2-fold HCPT) and more effective cellular uptake than free drugs, which exhibited an obvious synergistic effect of UA and HCPT by the co-delivery. 4T1 tumor-bearing mice also showed a higher survival rate than free UA and free HCPT. The result further shows that this novel drug delivery system has a promising potential for anti-cancer combination therapy.

Abstract
Natural pectin is an important carrier for delivering drugs in biomedical research, however, there are only a few reports on the preparation of pectin nanoparticles, especially a particle size of below 100 nm with high yield. Here we design pectin-dihydroartemisinin/hydrooxycampothecin nanoparticles (PDC-H NPs) through a self-assembly method. The prepared PDC-H NPs contained hydrophilic part of pectin and hydrophobic anticancer drugs of dihydroartemisinin and hydroxycamptothecin, which could increase drug loading, improve water solubility, and achieve controlled release of drugs. The results indicated that the particle size of PDC-H NPs was about 70 nm, drug-loaded efficiency of DHA was 20.33 wt %, and encapsulation efficiency of HCPT was 14.11 wt %. PDC-H NPs exhibited a higher cytotoxicity, the blood retention time of PDC-H NPs was 4.8-fold longer than DHA and was 6.8-fold longer than HCPT. In addition, effective cellular uptake exhibited an obvious synergistic effect compared with DHA and HCPT. 4T1 tumor-bearing mice also showed a higher survival rate than free DHA and free HCPT. The result show that the self-assembled PDC-H NPs is a promising anticancer drug for codelivery.

Abstract
The controlled and targeted release of pesticides with high water solubility has been a challenge for integrated pest management. In this paper, kasugamycin, an antibiotic broadly used in plant disease control, was covalently conjugated to pectin to form a kasugamycin-pectin conjugate by an amide bond. The conjugate was structurally characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectrophotometry, and thermal gravimetric analysis. The results showed that the conjugate was stable over a wide range of pH and temperatures, as well as under UV irradiation. When incubated with Pseudomonas syringae pv. lachrymans, the conjugate could be activated, releasing the kasugamycin, which made it a promising controlled-release formulation of pesticide.

Abstract
This review describes the state of the art in nanoparticle and nanodevice applications for medical diagnosis and disease treatment. Nanodevices, such as cantilevers, have been integrated into high-sensitivity disease marker diagnostic detectors and devices, are stable over long periods of time, and display reliable performance properties. Nanotechnology strategies have been applied to therapeutic purposes as well. For example, nanoparticle-based delivery systems have been developed to protect drugs from degradation, thereby reducing the required dose and dose frequency, improving patient comfort and convenience during treatment, and reducing treatment expenses. The main objectives for integrating nanotechnologies into diagnostic and therapeutic applications in the context of intestinal diseases are reviewed.

Abstract
Adriamycin (ADM) has been effective against many types of solid tumors in clinical applications. However, its use is limited because of systemic toxicities, primarily cardiotoxicity, and multidrug resistance. In this study, a new active receptor-mediated complex, ADM conjugated with 2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucose and succinic acid (2DG-SUC-ADM), was designed to target tumor cells through glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1). MTT assay and confocal images showed that the complex had better inhibition rate to tumor cells and low toxicity to normal cells. Most importantly, the complex displayed a potential to reverse overcome multidrug resistance in cancer cells, with more complex transported into the nucleus of tumor cells. Our in vivo experiments also showed that this new complex could significantly decrease organ toxicity and enhance the antitumor efficacy compared with free ADM, indicating a promising drug of 2DG-SUC-ADM for targeted cancer therapy.

Abstract
A number of lipophilic 14-substituted derivatives of doxorubicin were synthesized through conjugation of doxorubicin-14-hemisuccinate with different fatty amines or tetradecanol to enhance the lipophilicity, cellular uptake, and cellular retention for sustained anticancer activity. The conjugates inhibited the cell proliferation of human leukemia (CCRF-CEM, 69-76%), colon adenocarcinoma (HT-29, 60-77%), and breast adenocarcinoma (MDA-MB-361, 66-71%) cells at a concentration of 1 μM after 96-120 h of incubation. The N-tetradecylamido derivative of doxorubicin 14-succinate (10) exhibited consistently comparable antiproliferative activity to doxorubicin in a time-dependent manner (IC(50) = 77 nM in CCRF-CEM cells). Flow cytometry analysis showed a 3-fold more cellular uptake of 10 than doxorubicin in SK-OV-3 cells. Confocal microscopy revealed that the conjugate was distributed in cytoplasmic and perinuclear areas during the first 1 h of incubation and slowly relocalized in the nucleus after 24 h. The cellular hydrolysis study showed that 98% of compound 10 was hydrolyzed intracellularly within 48 h and released doxorubicin.

Abstract
The present investigation reports an extensive evaluation of in vitro and in vivo anticancer efficacy of orally administered doxorubicin-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (Dox-NPs) in a breast cancer induced animal model. Spherically shaped Dox-NPs were prepared with an entrapment efficiency and particle size of 55.40 ± 2.30% and 160.20 ± 0.99 nm, respectively, and freeze-dried with 5% trehalose using stepwise freeze-drying. Cytotoxicity, as investigated on C127I cell line, revealed insignificant differences between the IC(50) of free Dox and Dox-NPs treated cells in the first 24 h, while higher cytotoxicity was demonstrated by Dox-NPs, following 72 h of incubation. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) imaging corroborated that nanoparticles were efficiently localized into the nuclear region of C127I cells. The cellular uptake profile of Dox-NPs revealed both time and concentration dependent increases in the Caco-2 cell uptake as compared to the free Dox solution. Further, Dox-NPs significantly suppressed the growth of breast tumor in female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats upon oral administration. Finally, orally administered Dox-NPs showed a marked reduction in cardiotoxicity when compared with intravenously injected free Dox as also evident by the increased level of malondialdehyde (MDA), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and creatine phosphokinase (CK-MB) and reduced levels of glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). The reduced cardiotoxicity of orally administered Dox-NPs was also confirmed by the major histopathological changes in the heart tissue after the treatments of intravenously injected free Dox and orally delivered Dox-NPs.
