Int J Pharm 2024; 660:124220. [PMID: 38734274 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124220] [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: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
Porous Microneedles (PMNs) have been widely used in drug delivery and medical diagnosis owing to their abundant interconnected pores. However, the mechanical strength, the use of organic solvent, and drug loading capacity have long been challenging. Herein, a novel strategy of PMNs fabrication based on the Ice Templating Method is proposed that is suitable for insoluble, soluble, and nanosystem drug loading. The preparation process simplifies the traditional microneedle preparation process with a shorter preparation time. It endows the highly tunable porous morphology, enhanced mechanical strength, and rapid dissolution performance. Micro-CT three-dimensional reconstruction was used to better quantify the internal structures of PMNs, and we further established the equivalent pore network model to statistically analyze the internal pore structure parameters of PMNs. In particular, the mechanical strength is mainly negatively correlated with the surface porosity, while the dissolution velocity is mainly positively correlated with the permeability coefficient by the correlation heatmap. The poorly water-soluble Asiatic acid was encapsulated in PMNs in nanostructured lipid carriers, showing prominent hypertrophic scar healing trends. This work offers a quick and easy way of preparation that may be used to expand PMNs function and be introduced in industrial manufacturing development.

Abstract
Bio-based materials with excellent acoustic absorption properties are in great demand in architecture, interior, and human settlement applications for efficient noise control. In this study, crayfish shells, a form of kitchen waste, are utilized as the primary material to produce ultralight and multifunctional chitin aerogels, which effectively eliminate noise. Different replacement solvents and freezing rates were employed to regulate the porous structures of chitin aerogels, and their resulting acoustic absorption performance was investigated. Results demonstrate that employing deionized water as the replacement solvent and utilizing a common-freeze mode (frozen via refrigerator at -26 °C) can produce chitin aerogels with larger porosity (96.26%) and apertures, as well as thicker pore walls. This results in superior broadband acoustic absorption performance (with a maximum absorption coefficient reaching 0.99) and higher Young's modulus (28 kPa). Conversely, chitin aerogels solvent-exchanged with tert-butyl alcohol or subjected to quick-freeze mode (frozen via liquid nitrogen) exhibit smaller porosity (92.32% and 94.84%) and apertures, thereby possessing stronger diffuse reflection of visible light (average reflectance of 94.30% and 88.18%), and enhanced low-frequency (500 to 1600 Hz) acoustic absorption properties. Additionally, the acoustic absorption mechanism of fabricated chitin aerogels was predicted using a simple three-parameter analysis Johnson-Champoux-Allard-Lafarge (JCAL) model. This study presents a novel approach to developing multifunctional biomass materials with excellent acoustic absorption properties, which could have a wide range of potential applications.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy relies on the insight that the immune system can be used to defend against malignant cells. The aim of cancer immunotherapy is to utilize, modulate, activate, and train the immune system to amplify antitumor T-cell immunity. In parallel, the immune system response to damaged tissue is also crucial in determining the success or failure of an implant. Due to their extracellular matrix mimetics and tunable chemical or physical performance, hydrogels are promising platforms for building immunomodulatory microenvironments for realizing cancer therapy and tissue regeneration. However, submicron or nanosized pore structures within hydrogels are not favorable for modulating immune cell function, such as cell invasion, migration, and immunophenotype. In contrast, hydrogels with a porous structure not only allow for nutrient transportation and metabolite discharge but also offer more space for realizing cell function. In this review, the design strategies and influencing factors of porous hydrogels for cancer therapy and tissue regeneration are first discussed. Second, the immunomodulatory effects and therapeutic outcomes of different porous hydrogels for cancer immunotherapy and tissue regeneration are highlighted. Beyond that, this review highlights the effects of pore size on immune function and potential signal transduction. Finally, the remaining challenges and perspectives of immunomodulatory porous hydrogels are discussed.

Cytotoxicity and Degradation Resistance of Cryo- and Hydrogels Based on Carboxyethylchitosan at Different pH Values. Gels 2024; 10:272. [PMID: 38667691 PMCID: PMC11049456 DOI: 10.3390/gels10040272] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 04/04/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: The use of chitosan-based gels is still limited due to their restricted solubility in acid solutions, where the molecules have a positive charge. The functionalization of chitosan makes it possible to significantly expand the possibilities of using both the polymer itself and hydrogels based on its derivatives. Objective: To evaluate the effect of the conditions for the production of cryo- and hydrogels based on carboxyethylchitosan (CEC) crosslinked with glutaraldehyde on gel swelling and its resistance to degradation depending on pH and cytotoxic effects and to test the hypothesis that the amount of crosslinking agent during synthesis may affect the cytotoxicity of the gel. Methods: Gels' swelling values and degradation resistance were determined using the gravimetric method. The cytotoxic effect was evaluated during the co-cultivation of gels in the presence of human fibroblasts using light optical microscopy and flow cytometry. Results: All CEC-based cryogels had a higher equilibrium swelling value and degradation time than the CEC hydrogel in the pH range from 4.6 to 8.0. This demonstrates the superiority of cryogels relative to CEC-based hydrogels in terms of swelling potential and degradation resistance, while an increase in the number of crosslinks with glutaraldehyde contributes to longer swelling of the cryogel. The positive control (intact fibroblasts) and all gel samples were statistically identical in the number of viable cells. On the third day, the viability of the fibroblast cells was consistently high (above 95%) and did not differ between all tested CEC-based gels. And in general, the cell morphology analysis results corresponded with the results obtained in the flow cytometry-based cytotoxicity test. We also did not find proof in our experiment to support our hypothesis that the amount of crosslinking agent during synthesis may affect the cytotoxicity of the material.

Abstract
Improvement of mechanical properties of injectable tissue engineering scaffolds is a current challenge. The objective of the current study is to produce a highly porous injectable scaffold with improved mechanical properties. For this aim, cellulose nanocrystals-reinforced dual crosslinked porous nanocomposite cryogels were prepared using chemically crosslinked methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) and ionically crosslinked hyaluronic acid (HA) through the cryogelation process. The resulting nanocomposites showed highly porous structures with interconnected porosity (>90%) and mean pore size in the range of 130-296 μm. The prepared nanocomposite containing 3%w/v of GelMA, 20 w/w% of HA, and 1%w/v of CNC showed the highest Young's modulus (10 kPa) and excellent reversibility after 90% compression and could regain its initial shape after injection by a 16-gauge needle in the aqueous media. The in vitro results demonstrated acceptable viability (>90%) and migration of the human chondrocyte cell line (C28/I2), and chondrogenic differentiation of human adipose stem cells. A two-month in vivo assay on a rabbit's ear model confirmed that the regeneration potential of the prepared cryogel is comparable to the natural autologous cartilage graft, suggesting it is a promising alternative for autografts in the treatment of cartilage defects.

Abstract
The use of polysaccharides with good film-forming properties in food packaging systems is a promising area of research. Xanthan gum (XG), an extracellular polysaccharide, has many industrial uses, including as a common food additive (E415). It is an effective thickening agent, emulsifier, and stabilizer that prevents ingredients from separating. Nevertheless, XG-based polymer films have some disadvantages, such as poor mechanical properties and high hydrophilic features, which reduce their stability when exposed to moisture and create difficulties in processing and handling. Thus, the objective of this work was to stabilize a XG matrix by cross-linking it with glycerol diglycidyl ether, 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether, or epichlorohydrin below the freezing point of the reaction mixture. Cryogelation is an ecological, friendly, and versatile method of preparing biomaterials with improved physicochemical properties. Using this technique, XG-based cryogels were successfully prepared in the form of microspheres, monoliths, and films. The XG-based cryogels were characterized by FTIR, SEM, AFM, swelling kinetics, and compressive tests. A heterogeneous morphology with interconnected pores, with an average pore size depending on both the nature of the cross-linker and the cross-linking ratio, was found. The use of a larger amount of cross-linker led to both a much more compact structure of the pore walls and to a significant decrease in the average pore size. The uniaxial compression tests indicated that the XG-based cryogels cross-linked with 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether exhibited the best elasticity, sustaining maximum deformations of 97.67%, 90.10%, and 81.80%, respectively.

Abstract
This present study describes the investigation of new promising hybrid cryogels able to retain high amounts of antibiotics, specifically penicillin G, using chitosan or chitosan-biocellulose blends along with a naturally occurring clay, i.e., kaolin. In order to evaluate and optimize the stability of cryogels, three types of chitosan were used in this study, as follows: (i) commercial chitosan; (ii) chitosan prepared in the laboratory from commercial chitin; and (iii) chitosan prepared in the laboratory from shrimp shells. Biocellulose and kaolin, previously functionalized with an organosilane, were also investigated in terms of their potential to improve the stability of cryogels during prolonged submergence under water. The organophilization and incorporation of the clay into the polymer matrix were confirmed by different characterization techniques (such as FTIR, TGA, SEM), while their stability in time underwater was investigated by swelling measurements. As final proof of their superabsorbent behavior, the cryogels were tested for antibiotic adsorption in batch experiments, in which case cryogels based on chitosan extracted from shrimp shells seem to exhibit excellent adsorption properties for penicillin G.

Abstract
Insulin is the polypeptide hormone that regulates blood glucose levels. It is used as an indicator of both types of diabetes. An electrochemical insulin sensor was developed using a gold electrode modified with carboxylated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (f-MWCNTs) and molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) cryogel. The MIP provided specific recognition sites for insulin, while the macropores of the cryogel promoted the mass transfer of insulin to the recognition sites. The f-MWCNTs increased the effective surface area and conductivity of the sensor and also reduced the potential required to oxidize insulin. Insulin oxidation was directly measured in a flow system using square wave voltammetry. This MIP cryogel/f-MWCNTs sensor provided a linear range of 0.050-1.40 pM with a very low limit of detection (LOD) of 33 fM. The sensor exhibited high selectivity and long-term stability over 10 weeks of dry storage at room temperature. The results of insulin determination in human serum using the sensor compared well with the results of the Elecsys insulin assay. The developed MIP sensor offers a promising alternative for the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes.

Abstract
In this study, composite monoliths with porous structures were prepared using quaternized chitosan and diatom earth for protein separation. Quaternized chitosan (N-[(2-hydroxy-3-trimethylammonium)propyl] chitosan chloride) dissolved in water was mixed with diatom earth and crosslinked with glutaraldehyde under low-temperature conditions to form a cryogel. Interconnected porous monoliths were obtained after removing ice crystals from the cryogel. The monoliths adsorbed bovine serum albumin selectively from the solution mixture of bovine serum albumin and bovine ɤ-globulin, and bovine ɤ-globulin was recovered in the flow-through fraction. The adsorption selectivity was enhanced by changing the solution pH from 6.8 to 5.5. The adsorption of bovine serum albumin by the monolith was replicated at least five times following its washing with a buffer containing 400 mM NaCl and subsequent regeneration with a 10 mM acetate buffer. The composited monolith is a promising adsorbent for the removal of acidic proteins, such as serum albumin contamination in neutral proteins, for example, ɤ-globulins, in bioproduction processes.

Abstract
The highly efficient removal of bilirubin from blood by hemoperfusion for liver failure therapy remains a challenge in the clinical field due to the low adsorption capacity and poor hemocompatibility of currently used carbon-based adsorbents. Polysaccharide-based cryogels seem to be promising candidates for hemoperfusion adsorbents owing to their inherited excellent hemocompatibility. However, the weak mechanical strength and relatively low adsorption capacity of polysaccharide-based cryogels limited their application in bilirubin adsorption. In this work, we presented a freezing-triggered strategy to fabricate QCS/MFC cryogels, which were formed by quaternized chitosan (QCS) crosslinked with divinylsulfonyl methane (BVSM) and reinforced with microfibrillated cellulose (MFC). Ice crystal exclusions triggered the chemical crosslinking to generate the cryogels with dense pore walls. The obtained QCS/MFC cryogels were characterized by FTIR, SEM, stress-strain test, and hemocompatibility assay, which exhibited interconnected macroporous structures, excellent shape-recovery and mechanical performance, and outstanding blood compatibility. Due to the quaternary ammonium functionalization of chitosan, the QCS/MFC showed a high adsorption capacity of 250 mg g-1 and a short adsorption equilibrium time of 3 h. More importantly, the QCS/MFC still exhibited high adsorption efficiency (over 49.7%) in the presence of 40 g L-1 albumin. Furthermore, the QCS/MFC could also maintain high dynamic adsorption efficiency in self-made hemoperfusion devices. This facile approach provides a new avenue to develop high-performance hemoperfusion adsorbents for bilirubin removal, showing great promise for the translational therapy of hyperbilirubinemia.

Abstract
The potential of chitosan and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) cryogels cross-linked with diglycidyl ether of 1,4-butandiol (BDDGE) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEGDGE) have been compared in terms of 3D culturing HEK-293T cell line and preventing the bacterial colonization of the scaffolds. The first attempts to apply cryogels for the 3D co-culturing of bacteria and human cells have been undertaken toward the development of new models of host-pathogen interactions and bioimplant-associated infections. Using a combination of scanning electron microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy, and flow cytometry, we have demonstrated that CMC cryogels provided microenvironment stimulating cell-cell interactions and the growth of tightly packed multicellular spheroids, while cell-substrate interactions dominated in both chitosan cryogels, despite a significant difference in swelling capacities and Young's modulus of BDDGE- and PEGDGE-cross-linked scaffolds. Chitosan cryogels demonstrated only mild antimicrobial properties against Pseudomonas fluorescence, and could not prevent the formation of Staphylococcus aureus biofilm in DMEM media. CMC cryogels were more efficient in preventing the adhesion and colonization of both P. fluorescence and S. aureus on the surface, demonstrating antifouling properties rather than the ability to kill bacteria. The application of CMC cryogels to 3D co-culture HEK-293T spheroids with P. fluorescence revealed a higher resistance of human cells to bacterial toxins than in the 2D co-culture.

Abstract
Freeze-casting (ice templating) is generally used to prepare super-macroporous materials. However, water solubility limits the application of freeze-casting in hydrophobic material fabrication. In the present work, inexpensive and low-toxic sulfolane was used as a novel crystallization-induced porogen (sulfolane crystal templating) to prepare super-macroporous hydrophobic monoliths (cryogels) with tunable polarity. The phase transition of sulfolane consisted of reversible processes in the liquid, semi-crystalline, and crystalline states. Because of the density change during phase transition, liquid sulfolane experienced a 16.4% volume shrinkage per unit mass. Thus, the cryogels obtained using the conventional freezing method contained obvious hollow-shaped defects. Furthermore, a novel route of pre-cooling, pre-crystallization, crystal growth, freezing, and thawing (PPCFT) was employed to prepare cryogels with defect-free macroscopic morphology and uniform pore structure. The as-obtained cryogels were composed of a super-macroporous structures and interconnected channels, and their porosity ranged between 85 and 97%. Moreover, the cryogels manifested good hydrophobicity (contact angle = 120-130°) and had absorption capacities greater than 10 g g-1 for oils and organic liquids. The maximum absorption capacities of the resultant cryogels in dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and liquid paraffin were 60.3, 35.8, and 15.2 g g-1, respectively. Moreover, sulfolane could conveniently dissolve hydrophobic and hydrophilic monomers to generate amphiphilic cryogels (contact angle = 130-0°). Therefore, sulfolane crystal templating is a potential fabrication method for super-macroporous hydrophobic materials with tunable polarity.

Abstract
The applications of cryogels are defined by their porous morphology as well as mechanical properties. To achieve efficient regulation of porous properties for pectin cryogels, we selected starch as a potential polysaccharide regulator. Pectin/starch composite cryogels with different degrees of gelatinization were formulated, and two ways of starch gelatinization were considered: starch gelatinization occurred before or after pectin crosslinking during forming the hydrogel network. The results showed that high gelatinized starch (73.8 %-100.0 %) rendered pectin cryogels with denser pore morphology and higher mechanical strength. The pore diameter transferred from 160-200 μm to 40-60 μm with the degree of gelatinization, while the total porosity decreased by about 15 % and the specific surface area increased by about 100 m2/g. When starch gelatinization occurred before pectin crosslinking, the hydrogen bond interactions between gelatinized starch and pectin were formed to accelerate the gelation rate of the pectin Ca2+-dependent network. When gelatinization occurred after pectin crosslinking, the pre-formed pectin network delayed the breakdown of the starch crystalline structure during gelatinization. The qualitative regulation of the pore morphology in pectin cryogels by incorporating starches with varying degrees of gelatinization was confirmed.

Abstract
Chitosan (CS)-based drug delivery systems (DDSs) are often stabilized by chemical cross-linking. A much more friendly approach to deliver drugs in a controlled manner is represented by polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) physically stabilized by spontaneous interactions between CS and natural or synthetic biocompatible polyanions. PECs with tunable structures, morphologies, and mechanical properties were fabricated in this paper by an innovative and sustainable strategy. Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) or poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonate sodium salt) were used as aqueous solutions, while CS microparticles were evenly dispersed in the polyanion solution, at pH 6.5, where CS was not soluble. Cryostructuration of the dispersion in two steps (5 min at −196 °C, and 24 h at −18 °C), and freeze-drying at −55 °C, 48 h, conducted to pre-PEC cryogels. Next step was rearrangement of complementary polyions and the complex formation inside the pore walls of cryogels by exposure of the pre-PECs at a source of H+. PEC cryogels with impressive elasticity and toughness were engineered in this study by multiple-cryostructuration steps using CMC as polyanion with a molar mass of 250 kDa and an optimum concentration of polyanion and polycation. The performances of PEC cryogels in sustained delivery of anti-inflammatory drugs such as curcumin were demonstrated.

Abstract
Chitosan is a typical hydrophilic biomass building block widely used in material science and engineering. However, its intrinsic amphiphilicity has been seldom noted so far. Herein, a series of glutaraldehyde-crosslinked chitosan cryogels with superamphiphilicity are fabricated at moderately frozen conditions through a freezing-thawing process. The micron-sized porous cryogel samples display a 0° contact angle toward both water and oil, 0° water contact angle under oil, and over 120° oil contact angle underwater. By comparing the wetting behavior of the tablet compressed by pure chitosan powders, the superamphiphilicity of the chitosan sample is proven to be independent on crosslinkers. This special wettability endows the chitosan cryogels with high separation efficiency for various surfactant-stabilized oil-in-water emulsions under continuous flow mode driven by gravity as well as a peristaltic pump.

Abstract
Construction of monolithic cryogels that can efficiently adsorb proteins is of great significance in biotechnological and pharmaceutical industries. Herein, a novel approach is presented to fabricate microfibrillated cellulose (MFC)/sodium alginate (SA) cryogels by using freezing-induced oxa-Michael reaction at -12 °C. Thanks to the controllable reactiveness of divinyl sulfone (DVS), cryo-concentrated pH increase activates the oxa-Michael reaction between DVS and hydroxyl groups of MFCs and SAs. The obtained composite cryogel exhibits outstanding underwater shape recovery and excellent fatigue resistance. Moreover, the MFC/SAs reveal a high lysozyme adsorption capacity of 294.12 mg/g, surpassing most of absorbent materials previously reported. Furthermore, the cryogel-packed column can purify lysozyme continuously from chicken egg white, highlighting its outstanding practical application performance. Reuse experiments indicated that over 90% of lysozyme extraction capacity was retained after 6 cycles. This work provides a new avenue to design and develop next-generation chromatographic media of natural polysaccharide-based cryogel for protein purification.

Abstract
Cryogels are novel materials because the manufacturing process known as cryostructuring allows biopolymers to change their properties as a result of repeated controlled freeze-thaw cycles. Hydrogels of xanthan and karaya gums were evaluated after undergoing up to four controlled freeze-thaw cycles in indirect contact with liquid nitrogen (up to -150 °C) to form cryogels. Changes in structural, molecular, rheological, and thermal properties were evaluated and compared to those of their respective hydrogels. Samples were also analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy with Attenuated Total Reflection (FTIR-ATR), Rotational Rheology (RR), Modulated Differential Scanning Calorimetry (MDSC) and zeta potential (ζ). In general, significant differences (p < 0.05) between the numbers of freeze-thaw cycles were found. Karaya cryogels were not stable to repeated cycles of cryostructuring such as the three-cycle xanthan cryogel, which has the best structural order (95.55%), molecular interactions, and thermal stability, which allows the generation of a novel material with improved thermal and structural properties that can be used as an alternative in food preservation.

Abstract
Fly ash is one of the largest solid waste and causes serious environment problems. Extraction of Al(OH)3 from fly ash is beneficial to environment and economy. We developed a clean electrolysis method to generate hydroxyl groups in situ to extract Al(OH)3 from fly ash leachate without adding chemicals or using expensive membranes, avoiding the introduction of new impurities, secondary pollutants generation, and membrane limitations. Batch experiments yielded porous electrolytic products with BET surface areas from 11.7610 to 25.5267 m2/g, pore volumes from 0.1935 to 0.1643 cm3/g and pore sizes from 65.7960 to 25.7434 nm. The composition of the electrolytic products was 86.43 wt% Al(OH)3, 9.00 wt% SO3, 1.67 wt% Fe(OH)3, and 0.29 wt% Ca(OH)2. The current efficiency was 90.51 % under optimized conditions of c (Al3+) = 0.1 M, t =2 h, and J = 750 A/m2. Mean particle size was from 24.1-98.1 μm. Impurities mainly affected the composition of the electrolytic products. The OH- generated by H2O reduction reacted with Al3+, Fe3+, and Ca2+ to generate a hydroxide. Fe3+ preceded Ca2+ into the hydroxide. H2 released continuously from H2O reduction, resulting in a porous hydroxide. The wastewater was reused as a leaching reagent to promote zero-pollution discharge.

Abstract
Crystalline silicotitanate (CST) was synthesized via a sol-gel hydrothermal method using Na2Si2O3·9H2O and TiCl4 as silicon and titanium sources. The effects of pH, silicon concentration, hydrothermal temperature, and time on the CST synthesis were studied at a fixed molar ratio of silicon:titanium (0.98:1). Pure nano-CST crystals were synthesized at pH = 12.5, silicon concentration of 5 g L-1, 170 °C for 7 days. The average CST particle size was < 100 nm, with a Sr2+/Cs+ distribution coefficient up to 1.9 × 106 mL g-1/9.4 × 103 mL g-1 under the optimum conditions. In addition, nano-CST absorbed Sr2+/Cs+ over a wide pH range. The nano-CST also displayed a much faster equilibrium time, 4 h, as compared with previous studies. Furthermore, nano-CST adsorption of Sr2+/Cs+ followed a Langmuir adsorption model and was consistent with pseudo-second-order kinetics.

Abstract
With Cu2+ complexes as precursors, nano-cuprous oxide was prepared on a sodium alginate template excluded of Cl- and based on which the calcium alginate/nano-cuprous oxide hybrid materials were prepared by a Ca2+ crosslinking and freeze-drying process. The thermal degradation and combustion behavior of the materials were studied by related characterization techniques using pure calcium alginate as a comparison. The results show that the weight loss rate, heat release rate, peak heat release rate, total heat release rate and specific extinction area of the hybrid materials were remarkably lower than pure calcium alginate, and the flame-retardant performance was significantly improved. The experimental data indicates that nano-cuprous oxide formed a dense protective layer of copper oxide, calcium carbonate and carbon by lowering the initial degradation temperature of the polysaccharide chain during thermal degradation and catalytically dehydrating to char in the combustion process, and thereby can isolate combustible gases, increase carbon residual rates, and notably reduce heat release and smoke evacuation.
