Abstract
The efficient degradation of antibiotics holds significant implications for mitigating environmental pollution. This study synthesized a montmorillonite chitosan composite material (MMT-CS) using the gel template method. Subsequently, a bio-enhanced reactor was constructed to facilitate the degradation of chlorotetracycline (CTC). The addition of MMT-CS composite material enables the degradation of different concentrations of CTC. MMT-CS, a conductive carrier, effectively promotes microbial adhesion and boosts the metabolic activity of functional microorganisms. Additionally, it facilitates the maintenance of microbial activity under CTC pressure by promoting the secretion of extracellular polymeric substances, increasing critical enzyme activity, and enhancing the electron transfer capacity within the system. In this MMT-CS bio-enhanced process, Paracoccus (11.4%) and Bacillus (3.9%) are utilized as essential bacteria genes. The results of metabolic pathways prediction indicated significant enhancements in membrane-transport, nucleotide-metabolism, replication-repair, and lipid-metabolism. Thus, the developed self-supporting MMT-CS bio-enhanced process ensured the stability of the system during the removal of antibiotics.

Fe-pillared montmorillonite functionalized chitosan/gelatin foams for efficient removal of organic pollutants by integration of adsorption and Fenton degradation. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 321:121265. [PMID: 37739494 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.121265] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2023] [Revised: 07/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/04/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
A Fe-pillared montmorillonite (Fe-MMT) functionalized bio-based foam (Fe-MMT@CS/G) was developed by using chitosan (CS) and gelatin (G) as the matrix for high-efficiency elimination of organic pollutants through the integration of adsorption and Fenton degradation. The results showed that the mechanical properties of as-obtained foam were strengthened by the addition of certain amounts of Fe-MMT. Interestingly, Fe-MMT@CS/G displayed efficient adsorption ability for charged pollutants under a wide range of pH. The adsorption processes of methyl blue (MB), methylene blue (MEB) and tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) on Fe-MMT@CS/G were well described by the Freundlich isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The maximum adsorption capacities were 2208.24 mg/g for MB, 1167.52 mg/g for MEB, and 806.31 mg/g for TCH. Electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces probably involved the adsorption process. As expected, this foam could exhibit better removal properties toward both charged and uncharged organic pollutants through the addition of H2O2 to trigger the Fenton degradation reaction. For non-adsorbable and uncharged bisphenol A (BPA), the removal efficiency was dramatically increased from 1.20 % to 92.77 % after Fenton degradation. Additionally, it presented outstanding recyclability. These results suggest that Fe-MMT@CS/G foam is a sustainable and efficient green material for the alleviation of water pollution.

Abstract
The impact of synthetic packaging on environmental pollution has been observed for years. One of the recent trends of green technology is the development of biomaterials made from food processing waste as an alternative to plastic packaging. Polymers obtained from some polysaccharides, such as chitosan, could be an excellent solution. This study investigated the biodegradability of chitosan-metal oxide films (ZnO, TiO2, Fe2O3) and chitosan-modified graphene films (CS-GO-Ag) in a soil environment. We have previously demonstrated that these films have excellent mechanical properties and exhibit antibacterial activity. This study aimed to examine these films' biodegradability and the possibility of their potential use in the packaging industry. The obtained results show that soil microorganisms were able to utilize chitosan films as the source of carbon and nitrogen, thus providing essential evidence about the biodegradability of CS, CS:Zn (20:1; 10:1), and CS:Fe2O3 (20:1) films. After 6 weeks of incubation, the complete degradation of the CS-Fe2O3 20:1 sample was noted, while after 8 weeks, CS-ZnO 20:1 and CS-ZnO 10:1 were degraded. This is a very positive result that points to the practical aspect of the biodegradability of such films in soil, where garbage is casually dumped and buried. Once selected, biodegradable films can be used as an alternative to plastic packaging, which contributes to the reduction in pollution in the environment.

Abstract
Bone implant-associated infection is one of the most challenging problems encountered by orthopedic surgeons. There is considerable interest in the development of drug-loaded antibacterial coatings for the surfaces of metal implants. However, it is difficult to achieve the stable local release of an effective drug dose for many antibacterial coatings. In the present study, analyses of the thickness and water contact angle of multiple layers confirmed the successful assembly of multilamellar membrane structures. Measurement of the zone of bacterial inhibition indicated gradual degradation of the (montmorillonite [MMT]/hyaluronic acid [HA])10 multilamellar film structure with concentration-dependent degradation during incubation with hyaluronidase solution and Staphylococcus aureus. In vivo results resembled the in vitro results. Overall, the findings confirm that the (MMT/HA-rifampicin)10 multilamellar film structure exhibits good antibacterial properties and excellent biocompatibility. Further studies of the clinical potential of the antibacterial coating prepared in this experiment are warranted.

Abstract
Here we report on the properties of hydrogels of carboxyalkylchitosans-salicylimines depending on the salicylaldehyde (SA) grafting density, type of carboxyalkyl substitution, pH, and presence of amino acids. The mechanism of SA grafting has been investigated using 13C NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. We have found that, despite lower SA grafting density to carboxyalkylchitosans, gelation in these solutions occurred at much lower SA:polymer molar ratios than for chitosan-salicylimines, being the highest for a N-carboxyethylchitosan with a medium substitution degree. Controlled disassembly of supramolecular architecture of hydrogel of N-carboxyethylchitosan-salicylimine at physiological pH was achieved via the transimination reaction in the presence of amino acids with the efficiency decreased in the order: lysine > arginine ≥ serine. Application of carboxyalkylchitosans opens a new window for development of salicylimine-based hydrogels with lower SA grafting density, better mechanical properties, and reversibility in a broader pH range than it was earlier known for chitosan-based biodynamers.

Abstract
Here, we discuss the applicability of (methylenebis(salicylaldehyde)—MbSA) for the fabrication of the stimuli-responsive N-carboxyethylchitosan (CEC) hydrogels with a tunable dissolution rate under physiological conditions. In comparison with non-covalent salicylimine hydrogels, MbSA cross-linking via covalent bis(‘imine clip’) and non-covalent hydrophobic interactions allowed the fabrication of hydrogels with storage moduli > 1 kPa at ten-fold lower aldehyde/CEC molar ratio with the preservation of pH- and amino-acid responsive behavior. Although MbSA-cross-linked CEC hydrogels were stable at neutral and weakly alkaline pH, their disassembly in cell growth medium (Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium, DMEM) under physiological conditions was feasible due to transimination reaction with amino acids contained in DMEM. Depending on the cross-linking density, the complete dissolution time of the fabricated hydrogels varied from 28 h to 11 days. The cytotoxicity of MbSA cross-linked CEC hydrogels toward a human colon carcinoma cell line (HCT 116) and primary human dermal fibroblasts (HDF) was remarkably lower in comparison with CEC-salicylimine hydrogels. Fast gelation, relatively low cytotoxicity, and tunable stimuli-induced disassembly under physiological conditions make MbSA cross-linked CEC hydrogels promising for drug encapsulation and release, 3D printing, cell culturing, and other biomedical applications.

Abstract
Marine polysaccharides are believed to be promising wound-dressing nanomaterials because of their biocompatibility, antibacterial and hemostatic activity, and ability to easily shape into transparent films, hydrogels, and porous foams that can provide a moist micro-environment and adsorb exudates. Current efforts are firmly focused on the preparation of novel polysaccharide-derived nanomaterials functionalized with chemical objects to meet the mechanical and biological requirements of ideal wound healing systems. In this contribution, we investigated the characteristics of six different cellulose-filled chitosan transparent films as potential factors that could help to accelerate wound healing. Both microcrystalline and nano-sized cellulose, as well as native and phosphorylated cellulose, were used as fillers to simultaneously elucidate the roles of size and functionalization. The assessment of their influences on hemostatic properties indicated that the tested nanocomposites shorten clotting times by affecting both the extrinsic and intrinsic pathways of the blood coagulation system. We also showed that all biocomposites have antioxidant capacity. Moreover, the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of the materials against two cell lines, human BJ fibroblasts and human KERTr keratinocytes, was investigated. The nature of the cellulose used as a filler was found to influence their cytotoxicity at a relatively low level. Potential mechanisms of cytotoxicity were also investigated; only one (phosphorylated microcellulose-filled chitosan films) of the compounds tested produced reactive oxygen species (ROS) to a small extent, and some films reduced the level of ROS, probably due to their antioxidant properties. The transmembrane mitochondrial potential was very slightly lowered. These biocompatible films showed no genotoxicity, and very importantly for wound healing, most of them significantly accelerated migration of both fibroblasts and keratinocytes.

Abstract
Natural hydrogels, due to their unique biological properties, have been used extensively for various medical and clinical examinations that are performed to investigate the signs of disease. Recently, complex-crosslinking strategies improved the mechanical properties and advanced approaches have resulted in the introduction of naturally derived hydrogels that exhibit high biocompatibility, with shape memory and self-healing characteristics. Moreover, the creation of self-assembled natural hydrogels under physiological conditions has provided the opportunity to engineer fine-tuning properties. To highlight recent studies of natural-based hydrogels and their applications for medical investigation, a critical review was undertaken using published papers from the Science Direct database. This review presents different natural-based hydrogels (natural, natural-synthetic hybrid and complex-crosslinked hydrogels), their historical evolution, and recent studies of medical examination applications. The application of natural-based hydrogels in the design and fabrication of biosensors, catheters and medical electrodes, detection of cancer, targeted delivery of imaging compounds (bioimaging) and fabrication of fluorescent bioprobes is summarised here. Without doubt, in future, more useful and practical concepts will be derived to identify natural-based hydrogels for a wide range of clinical examination applications.

Abstract
The coating of fertilizers by polymers is one of the most efficient tools for their slow and control release into soil. This strategy avoids excessive use of the fertilizers and increases their availability to the crops needs. In the present paper, hydro-soluble diammonium phosphates (DAP) fertilizer was double coated following the dip-coating process by chitosan-clay composites as inner coating and paraffin wax as an outer coating. The chitosan composite preparation and characterization were deeply investigated. The montmorillonite (MMT) clay incorporation as filler improves the water barrier diffusion, mechanical properties, and thermal stability of the composite. The combination of the swelling behavior of the chitosan-clay composite (inner coating) and the hydrophobic property of paraffin wax (outer coating) was confirmed by the water holding capacity evaluation and the phosphorus release essays in water and soil. Indeed, the phosphorus dissolution from the coated DAP granules was significantly delayed compared to the uncoated DAP. Moreover, the biodegradation study of composite material in soil and the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) tests revealed that the coating system proposed could be considered as a carbon source for microorganisms after the fertilization process, which confirms its sustainability.

Abstract
Chitosan is a polysaccharide widely used as a structuring agent in foods and other materials because of its positive charge (amino groups). At present, however, it is difficult to form and stabilize emulsions using chitosan due to its high hydrophilicity. In this study, oil-in-water emulsions were prepared using a one-pot green-chemistry method. The chitosan and aldehyde molecules were in situ interfacially conjugated during homogenization, which promoted the adsorption of chitosan onto the oil droplet surfaces where they created a protective coating. The universality of this method was verified by using chitosan with different molecular weights and four kinds of natural aldehydes [cinnamaldehyde (CA), citral (CT), citronella (CN), and vanillin (VL)]. Chitosan with higher molecular weight facilitated the formation of emulsions. By harnessing the dynamic covalent nature of imine bonds, chitosan emulsions with an imine link display dynamic behavior with acid-catalyzed hydrolysis. The aldehyde structure could control the pH point of trigger for breakdown of emulsions, which was 1.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 4.0 for CA emulsion, CT emulsion, CN emulsion, and VL emulsion, respectively. At pH 6.5, aldehyde helped to decrease the interfacial tension of chitosan to about 10 mN/m, while this value would increase if the pH decreased by adding acid during the measurement. Chemical kinetics studies indicated that the hydrophobicity and conjugation effect of the aldehyde together determined the trigger points and properties of the emulsion. Finally, we used the optimized emulsions to encapsulate and control the release of curcumin. The gastric release behavior of the curcumin depended on aldehyde structure: VL > CN > CT ≈ CA. Hence, a tailor-made trigger release emulsion system can be achieved by rational selection and design of aldehyde structure to control hydrophobicity and conjugation effect of aldehydes.

Carbohydr Polym 2019; 230:115634.

Abstract
Simultaneous condensation of aromatic aldehydes (ArxCHO; x = 1-4) on chitosan biopolymer (CS) affords, after water-evaporation, structurally-conjugated aryl-functionalized CS-Arx-f films. Similarly, cooperative assembly of two-dimensional nanometric graphene oxide (GO), aromatic aldehyde and chitosan provides transparent, flexible and crack-free aldehyde-functionalized, ternary-reinforced CS-Arx-GO-f nanocomposite films. Homogenous films were obtained using ortho-hydroxybenzaldehyde Ar1 while the para-hydroxybenzaldehyde Ar4 was prone to packing inside. Textural and mechanical properties were investigated and expectedly, significant improvement was found for CS-Ar1-GO-f because of the great dispersion of the aromatic and the presence of the filler. The sensitivity of unsaturated CN imine bond to hydrolysis was explored for triggering controlled release of aromatics from the as-prepared films. All of them were found to induce a time-dependent aromatic release. It has been moreover observed that the release was significantly delayed in CS-Arx-GO-f compared to CS-Arx-f, a fact attributed to the interplay of the ring with the basal and edges of graphene oxide, through π-π stacking and additional hydrogen bonding interactions. This finding shows that beyond the conventional wisdom using fillers for improving thermal and mechanical properties, the tiny carbon sheets can act as a regulator for aldehyde release, thereby providing a way for more controlled chemical delivery from confined nanocomposites.

Hybrid Systems Based on Talc and Chitosan for Controlled Drug Release. MATERIALS 2019; 12:ma12213634.

Abstract
Inorganic matrices and biopolymers have been widely used in pharmaceutical fields. They show properties such as biocompatibility, incorporation capacity, and controlled drug release, which can become more attractive if they are combined to form hybrid materials. This work proposes the synthesis of new drug delivery systems (DDS) based on magnesium phyllosilicate (Talc) obtained by the sol–gel route method, the biopolymer chitosan (Ch), and the inorganic-organic hybrid formed between this matrix (Talc + Ch), obtained using glutaraldehyde as a crosslink agent, and to study their incorporation/release capacity of amiloride as a model drug. The systems were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Therma analysis TG/DTG, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) that supported the DDS’s formation. The hybrid showed a better drug incorporation capacity compared to the precursors, with a loading of 55.74, 49.53, and 4.71 mg g−1 for Talc + Ch, Talc, and Ch, respectively. The release assays were performed on a Hanson Research SR-8 Plus dissolver using apparatus I (basket), set to guarantee the sink conditions. The in vitro release tests showed a prolongation of the release rates of this drug for at least 4 h. This result proposes that the systems implies the slow and gradual release of the active substance, favoring the maintenance of the plasma concentration within a therapeutic window.

Theoretical Modeling of Long-Time Drug Release from Nitrosalicyl-Imine-Chitosan Hydrogels through Multifractal Logistic Type Laws. COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2019; 2019:4091464.

Abstract
Drug release is a complex phenomenon due to the large number of interdependent side effects that occur simultaneously, involving strong nonlinear dynamics. Therefore, since their theoretical description is difficult in the classical mathematics modelling, we have built a theoretical model based on logistic type laws, validated by the correlations with the experimental data, in a special case of drug release from hydrogels. The novelty of our approach is the implementation of multifractality in logistic type laws, situation in which any chaotic system, characterized by a small number of nonlinear interactions, gets memory and, implicitly, characterization through a large number of nonlinear interactions. In other words, the complex system polymer-drug matrix becomes “pseudo-intelligent.”
