Abstract
Pressure ulcer dressings with different functions can enhance wound healing ability to varying degrees; however, pressure ulcer dressings that integrate various functions and break the resistance of bacteria to traditional antibiotics have not been widely studied. We proposed a self-pumping/super-absorbent/transportable drug dressing (PLD-SLD), polycaprolactone (PCL)/sodium alginate (SA) was used to load platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and lidocaine hydrochloride (LID) by Janus electrospinning and self-assembly technology, and Ɛ-polylysine was used as a biological bacteriostatic agent to prepare a multi-layer dressing. SEM showed that the dressing had a fluffy structure. The dressing can pump the exudate to the SA layer away from the skin. The swelling ratio reached 1378.667 ± 44.752 %. Coagulate blood in 5 min. On the 8th day, the unclosed area rate of the PLD-SLD dressing group was 16.112 ± 0.088 % lower than that of the model group. Importantly, the dressing can induce the expression of CD31, VEGF, α-SMA, and reduce the expression of CD68, thereby giving priority to wound healing. There was no scar formation after healing. In this study, a new dressing preparation method was proposed for the problems of exudate management, infection control, pain relief and healing promotion of stage 3-4 pressure ulcer healing.

Abstract
Polyester biomaterials play a crucial in vascular surgery, but suffer from unspecific protein adsorption, thrombogenicity, and inadequate endothelial cell response, which limit their success. To address these issues, we investigated the functionalization of polyester biomaterials with antithrombogenic polysaccharide coatings. A two-step and water-based method was used to coat cationized polycaprolactone with different sulfated polysaccharides (SPS), which resulted in long-term stability, tunable morphology, roughness, film thickness, chemical compositions, zeta potential, and water content. The coatings significantly increased the anticoagulant activity and reduced the thrombogenicity of polycaprolactone, particularly with highly sulfated heparin and cellulose sulfate. Less SPS, such as chondroitin sulfate, fucoidan, and carrageenan, despite showing reduced anticoagulant activity, also exhibited lower fibrinogen adsorption. The adhesion and viability of human primary endothelial cells cultured on modified polycaprolactone correlated with the type and sulfate content of the coatings.

Abstract
In this study, a multifunctional nanofiber dressing that can promote antibacterial, analgesic and healing was prepared by electrospinning technology. Hydrophobic polycaprolactone (PCL)/chitosan (CS)/lidocaine hydrochloride (LID) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) were used as scaffold materials and dissolved in trifluoroacetic acid to prepare spinning solution. The morphology of PCEL dressing was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The fiber structure was dense and the average diameter was 297.0 nm. The water absorption capacity test and water contact angle measurement showed that the fiber had good water absorption and hydrophilicity (1302 %, 139.258°). Drug release was 84 % within 60 h. In the results of antibacterial experiment, the dressing showed certain antibacterial properties. The results of cell experiments show that the dressing can promote cell proliferation. In addition, coagulation experiments showed that the dressing could quickly coagulate the blood within 4 min. In addition, PCEL dressing promoted collagen deposition and vascularization through animal models of pressure sores. Therefore, multifunctional dressing can be used as an ideal auxiliary means for the treatment of pressure sores, and it is a promising alternative to chronic wound healing.

Nano-fibrillated cellulose-based scaffolds for enzyme (co)-immobilization: Application to natural product glycosylation by Leloir glycosyltransferases. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 222:217-227.

Abstract
Polysaccharide-based scaffolds are promising carriers for enzyme immobilization. Here, we demonstrate a porous scaffold prepared by direct-ink-writing 3D printing of an ink consisting of nanofibrillated cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose and citric acid for immobilization application. Negative surface charge introduced by the components made the scaffold amenable for an affinity-like immobilization via the cationic protein module Zbasic2. Zbasic2 fusions of two sugar nucleotide-dependent glycosyltransferases (C-glycosyltransferase, Z-CGT; sucrose synthase, Z-SuSy) were immobilized individually, or co-immobilized, and applied to synthesize the natural C-glycoside nothofagin. The cascade reaction involved β-C-glycosylation of phloretin (10 mM, ~90 % conversion) from UDP-glucose, provided from sucrose and catalytic amounts of UDP (1.0 mM). Enzymes were co-immobilized at ~65 mg protein/g carrier to receive activities of 9.5 U/g (Z-CGT) and 4.5 U/g (Z-SuSy) in 22-33 % yield (protein) and an effectiveness of 23 % (Z-CGT) and 13 % (Z-SuSy). The scaffold-bound enzymes were recyclable for 5 consecutive reactions.

Abstract
![]()
Stable chitosan thin
films can be promising substrates for creating
nanometric peptide-bound polyglucosamine layers. Those are of scientific
interest since they can have certain structural similarities to bacterial
peptidoglycans. Such films were deposited by spin coating from chitosan
solutions and modified by acetylation and N-protected
amino acids. The masses of deposited materials and their stability
in aqueous solutions at different pH values and water interaction
were determined with a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation
(QCM-D). The evolution of the surface composition was followed by
X-ray photoelectron (XPS) and attenuated total reflectance infrared
(ATR-IR) spectroscopy. Morphological changes were measured by atomic
force microscopy (AFM), while the surface wettability was monitored
by by static water contact angle measurements. The combination of
the characterization techniques enabled an insight into the surface
chemistry for each treatment step and confirmed the acetylation and
coupling of N-protected glycine peptides. The developed
procedures are seen as first steps toward preparing thin layers of
acetylated chitin, potentially imitating the nanometric peptide substituted
glycan layers found in bacterial cell walls.

Abstract
Medical implant-associated infections resulting from biofilm formation triggered by unspecific protein adsorption are the prevailing cause of implant failure. However, implant surfaces rendered with multifunctional bioactive nanocoatings offer a promising alternative to prevent the initial attachment of bacteria and effectively interrupt biofilm formation. The need to research and develop novel and stable bioactive nanocoatings for medical implants and a comprehensive understanding of their properties in contact with the complex biological environment are crucial. In this study, we developed an aqueous stable and crosslinker-free polyelectrolyte-surfactant complex (PESC) composed of a renewable cationic polysaccharide, chitosan, a lysine-based anionic surfactant (77KS), and an amphoteric antibiotic, amoxicillin, which is widely used to treat a number of infections caused by bacteria. We successfully introduced the PESC as bioactive functional nanolayers on the "model" and "real" polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surfaces under dynamic and ambient conditions. Besides their high stability and improved wettability, these uniformly deposited nanolayers (thickness: 44-61 nm) with mixed charges exhibited strong repulsion toward three model blood proteins (serum albumin, fibrinogen, and γ-globulin) and their competitive interactions in the mixture in real-time, as demonstrated using a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D). The functional nanolayers with a maximum negative zeta potential (ζ: -19 to -30 mV at pH 7.4), water content (1628-1810 ng cm-2), and hydration (low viscosity and elastic shear modulus) correlated with the mass, conformation, and interaction nature of proteins. In vitro antimicrobial activity testing under dynamic conditions showed that the charged nanolayers actively inhibited the growth of both Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria compared to unmodified PDMS. Given the ease of fabrication of multifunctional and charged biobased coatings with simultaneous protein-repellent and antimicrobial activities, the limitations of individual approaches could be overcome leading to a better and advanced design of various medical devices (e.g., catheters, prosthetics, and stents).

Anticoagulant Activity of Cellulose Nanocrystals from Isora Plant Fibers Assembled on Cellulose and SiO 2 Substrates via a Layer-by-Layer Approach. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13060939.

Abstract
In this study, we report the isolation of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from Isora plant fibers by sulfuric acid hydrolysis and their assembly on hydrophilic cellulose and silicon-di-oxide (SiO2) surfaces via a layer-by-layer (LBL) deposition method. The isolated CNCs were monodispersed and exhibited a length of 200–300 nm and a diameter of 10–20 nm, a negative zetapotential (−34–39 mV) over a wide pH range, and high stability in water at various concentrations. The multi-layered structure, adsorbed mass, conformational changes, and anticoagulant activity of sequentially deposited anionic (sulfated) CNCs and cationic polyethyleneimine (PEI) on the surfaces of cellulose and SiO2 by LBL deposition were investigated using a quartz crystal microbalance technique. The organization and surface features (i.e., morphology, thickness, wettability) of CNCs adsorbed on the surfaces of PEI deposited at different ionic strengths (50–300 mM) of sodium chloride were analysed in detail by profilometry layer-thickness, atomic force microscopy and contact angle measurements. Compared to cellulose (control sample), the total coagulation time and plasma deposition were increased and decreased, respectively, for multilayers of PEI/CNCs. This study should provide new possibilities to fabricate and tailor the physicochemical properties of multilayer films from polysaccharide-based nanocrystals for various biomedical applications.
