Abstract
One of the promising applications of rod-like chitin nanocrystals (ChNCs) is the use as particle emulsifier to develop Pickering emulsions. We reported a ChNC-stabilized oil-in-water emulsion system, and developed a Pickering emulsion-templated method to prepare polylactide (PLA) hollow microspheres here. The results showed that both non-modified ChNCs and acetylated ChNCs could well emulsify the dichloromethane (DCM) solution of PLA-in-aqueous mannitol solution systems, forming very stable emulsions. At the same oil-to-water ratios and ChNC loadings, the emulsion stability was improved with increasing acetylation levels of ChNCs, accompanied by reduced size of droplets. Through the solvent evaporation, the PLA hollow microspheres were templated successfully, and the surface structure was also strongly dependent on the acetylation level of ChNCs. At a low level of acetylation, the single-hole or multi-hole surface structure formed, which was attributed to the out-diffusion of DCM caused by the solvent extraction and evaporation. These surface defects decreased with increased acetylation levels of ChNCs. Moreover, the aqueous suspension with as-obtained PLA microspheres revealed shear-thinning property and good biocompatibility, thereby had promising application as injectable fillers. This work can provide useful information around tuning surface structures of the Pickering emulsion-templated polymer hollow microspheres by regulating acetylation level of ChNCs.

Stability, oxidizability, and topical delivery of resveratrol encapsulated in octenyl succinic anhydride starch/chitosan complex-stabilized high internal phase Pickering emulsions. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 305:120566. [PMID: 36737204 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.120566] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2022] [Revised: 12/18/2022] [Accepted: 01/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
High internal phase Pickering emulsions (HIPPEs) stabilized with octenyl succinic anhydride starch/chitosan complexes were examined as a topical delivery vehicle for resveratrol. All resveratrol-loaded HIPPEs showed stable gel-like network structures, with the droplet size and microrheological properties largely dependent on the complex concentrations. HIPPEs exhibited strong stability when subjected to light, high temperature, UV radiation and freeze-thaw treatment, and resveratrol retention was greatly improved with the increasing addition of complexes and resveratrol. High amounts of resveratrol facilitated the antioxidant activity of HIPPEs, whereas sustained release of resveratrol was mainly related to the existence of complex interfacial layers. Moreover, HIPPEs overcome the stratum corneum barrier, with an approximately 3-5-fold increase in resveratrol deposition in deep skin compared to bulk oil. In conclusion, the emulsion composition (especially at the particle level) was vital for the effectiveness of HIPPEs as a carrier, which may provide new opportunities to design topical delivery systems.

Food Chem 2023; 418:135904.

Abstract
The feasibility of constructing a Pickering emulsion gel with proanthocyanidin particles (PAP) was evaluated in this study, and the related mechanism was revealed by combining instrumental characterization with molecular dynamics simulation. The results showed that PAP was composed of nano/micron spherical particles or their fragments, which had excellent wettability. Suitable PAP addition amount (w, ≥1%) and oil volume fraction (φ, 40-90 %) were beneficial to the formation of stable Pickering emulsion gel. The oil droplet size of gel was inversely proportional to w and φ. The mechanical parameters (gel strength, loss modulus, and storage modulus) were positively correlated with w and φ. Molecular dynamics simulation indicated that the proanthocyanidin molecules in the oil-water system could spontaneously reside and aggregate at the interface, and their interactions with water and oil reduced interfacial tension, which was consistent with the experimental results. This study provides a reference for other polyphenol-based Pickering emulsions.

Abstract
Caused by Toxoplasma gondii, toxoplasmosis has aroused great threats to public health around the world. So far, no effective vaccine or drug is commercially available, and the demands for a safe and effective therapeutic strategy have become more and more urgent. In the current study, we constructed a DNA vaccine encoding T. gondii ribosomal P2 protein (TgP2) and denoted as TgP2-pVAX1 plasmid. To improve the immunoprotection, nanomaterial poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) and chitosan were used as the delivery vehicle to construct TgP2-pVAX1/PLGA and TgP2-pVAX1/CS nanospheres. Before vaccinations in BALB/c mice, TgP2-pVAX1 plasmids were transiently transfected into Human Embryonic Kidney (HEK) 293-T cells, and the expression of the eukaryotic plasmids was detected by laser confocal microscopy and Western blotting. Then the immunoprotection of naked DNA plasmids and their two nano-encapsulations were evaluated in the laboratory animal model. According to the investigations of antibody, cytokine, dendritic cell (DC) maturation, molecule expression, splenocyte proliferation, and T lymphocyte proportion, TgP2-pVAX1 plasmid delivered by two types of nanospheres could elicit a mixed Th1/Th2 immune response and Th1 immunity as the dominant. In addition, TgP2-pVAX1/PLGA and TgP2-pVAX1/CS nanospheres have great advantages in enhancing immunity against a lethal dose of T. gondii RH strain challenge. All these results suggested that TgP2-pVAX1 plasmids delivered by PLGA or chitosan nanomaterial could be promising vaccines in resisting toxoplasmosis and deserve further investigations and applications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hydrophilic polymers that swell or dissolve in aqueous media can have the potential to prepare controlled/sustained dosage forms for weakly acidic, poorly soluble drugs. OBJECTIVE The main objective of this study is to utilize Eudragit®E100 (EE) and Carbopol®971P NF (Cp) polymers and their salt forms in the preparation of a once-daily controlled-release matrix tablet for model drug, Ibuprofen (IB). METHODS Combinations of the polymers in their base forms (EE)/(Cp) or their salt forms (EEHCl/CpNa) were compressed with (IB) into single layer matrix tablets, or otherwise into bilayer tablets. Dissolution profiles were constructed using three different consecutive stages (pH 1.2, 4.8, and 6.8). RESULT It was found that the incorporation of (EEHCl) modified the release rates of (IB) from (Cp) based matrix tablets. However, a major enhancement of (IB) release rates occurred when the polymers were combined in their salt forms at a 1:1 ratio by weight. In addition, a bilayer tablet was prepared wherein a relatively rapidly disintegrating layer composed of polymers salts (EEHCl and CpNa), and a second layer containing only (Cp) polymer in its base form at a 1:2 weight ratio possessed excellent release properties, and mechanical strengths. CONCLUSION It was concluded that the prepared bilayer tablet could be of promise use in controlling the release rates of (IB) in an extended manner to allow once-daily administration with an improved pH-independent release behavior.

Abstract
The current study explored the feasibility of a microfluidic preparation of PLGA composite microspheres with mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) to finely manipulate the drug release behaviors of the microspheres. MSNs were synthesized via a hydrothermal method, and PLGA microspheres loaded with MSNs (PLGA-MSNs) were prepared using a capillary-based three-phase microfluidic device. Drug loading and release behaviors using rhodamine B (RB) as a water-soluble model drug were investigated and compared with those of PLGA microspheres. MSNs with an average particle size of 119 nm, a specific surface area of 902.5 cm2/g, and a pore size of approximately 5 nm were obtained. The mean diameter of PLGA-MSNs was 56 μm (CV = 4.91%). A sustained release duration of encapsulated RB from PLGA-MSNs for 4 months was achieved without any observable burst release. PLGA microspheres with monodispersion could also allow for a similar release duration of encapsulated RB but encountered a burst release in the mid-term of the studied duration. PLGA-MSNs had a denser outer PLGA layer and a more centralized hollow hole than PLGA microspheres without MSNs. Hence, the incorporation of MSNs into PLGA microspheres via microfluidics could be an efficient strategy to finely tune the drug release behavior of PLGA microspheres.

Abstract
Adding fragrances to the wallpaper can optimize our living environment and office environment. However, the poor adhesion and rapid release of fragrances on wallpapers have limited their application. In this study, vanillin was encapsulated in particles based on chitosan and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), thereby achieving a slow release of the fragrance. In addition, due to the addition of chitosan, the adhesion of the fragrance on the wallpaper was enhanced, and the wallpaper was given antibacterial properties.

Abstract
Background and Objective Cancer cells accumulate high concentrations of reactive oxygen species as a result of their faster and uninhibited metabolic activity. Cancer chemotherapeutic agents release an excess of severe adverse reactions as a result of targeting normal cells. This demands an improvement in targeted drug-delivery systems to selectively discharge anticancer drugs in the vicinity of such highly metabolically and mitotically active cells. Materials and Methods Here, magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized by a traditional co-precipitation technique. Fe3O4@OA-CS-5-FLU-NPs were synthesized by an easy and rapid in situ loading method. The proposed Fe3O4@OA-CS-5-FLU-NPs were productively prepared as well as characterized by various spectroscopic and microscopic studies. Results The targeted drug release profile of the Fe3O4@OA-CS-5-FLU-NPs was studied in the presence of ROS including H2O2 and pH induction. The released product, Fe3O4@OA-CS-5-FLU-NP, exhibited desirable levels of cytotoxicity and demonstrated morphological changes and inhibition of colony formation for A549 and HeLa S3 cancer cells. The IC50 values at 24 hours were 12.9 and 23 μg/mL, respectively. Conclusion In summary, results from the MTT assay, fluorescence staining as well as colony formation assays, revealed that the Fe3O4@OA-CS-5-FLU-NPs were active and safe for anticancer biomedical applications. In summary, the present investigation provides a powerful nanostructured based system for improved cancer theranostics that should be further studied.

Abstract
Poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) has been extensively explored for bone regeneration applications; however, its clinical use is limited by low osteointegration. Therefore, approaches that incorporate osteoconductive molecules are of great interest. Graphene oxide (GO) is gaining popularity for biomedical applications due to its ability to bind biological molecules and present them for enhanced bioactivity. This study reports the preparation of PLGA microparticles via Pickering emulsification using GO as the sole surfactant, which resulted in hybrid microparticles in the size range of 1.1 to 2.4 µm based on the ratio of GO to PLGA in the reaction. Furthermore, this study demonstrated that the hybrid GO-PLGA microparticles were not cytotoxic to either primary human fetal cartilage rudiment cells or the human osteoblast-like cell line, Saos-2. Additionally, the GO-PLGA microparticles promoted the osteogenic differentiation of the human fetal cartilage rudiment cells in the absence of exogenous growth factors to a greater extent than PLGA alone. These findings demonstrate that GO-PLGA microparticles are cytocompatible, osteoinductive and have potential as substrates for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The present study investigated a new approach to treat superficial skin infections by topical application of minocycline hydrochloride (MH) formulated in a novel starch-based Pickering emulsion (ASt-emulsions). The emulsions were fully characterized in terms of efficacy, as well as in vitro release and permeation studies. The emulsions provided a prolonged MH release, always above its minimum inhibitory concentration against Staphylococcus aureus, although the drug did not permeate through the entire skin layer. The in vitro antibacterial activity of MHASt-emulsions against S. aureus was confirmed and their therapeutic efficacy was assessed using an in vitro skin-adapted agar diffusion test. In vivo antibacterial activity, evaluated using the tape-stripping infection model in mice, showed the topical administration of MH was effective against superficial infections caused by S. aureus. This study supports the potential of ASt-emulsions as promising platforms for topical antibiotic delivery, contributing to a new perspective on the treatment of superficial bacterial infections.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic CaCO3 capsules were prepared by crystallization of CaCO3 on Pickering emulsion prepared using coacervate droplets made from thermoresponsive and degradable poly(2-methylene-1,3-dioxepane- co-2-hydroxyethyl acrylate) (poly(MDO- co-HEA)) in sole aqueous medium. The diameters of CaCO3-based Pickering emulsion could be controlled by varying several parameters: diameter of CaCO3 powders, initial polymer concentration, and copolymer composition. The CaCO3 Pickering emulsion was able to load low-molecular-weight hydrophobic substances at temperatures above the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) due to formation of polymer-concentrated phases, i.e., coacervate droplets. The diameter of CaCO3 capsules prepared by crystallization also depended on the diameter of the CaCO3 Pickering emulsion. The CaCO3 shell was composed of calcite-type crystals, the most stable polymorph among known CaCO3 crystals. The facially prepared CaCO3 capsules are valuable for use in functional biomaterials, such as drug delivery carriers and cell culture scaffolds for noninvasive bone-regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Nanotechnology plays an important role in the development of drug delivery, imaging, and diagnosis. In this study, nanocapsules containing protein-functionalized gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) as the shell and hydrophobic drug curcumin as the core were prepared as a tumor cell theranostic agent. After the nanocapsules were added into tumor cell media, they entered the cells with high efficiency and exhibited strong fluorescence within the cells. The results indicated that the nanocapsules were broken up in the cells and curcumin was released. Simultaneously, the nanocapsules exhibited significant inhibition effect against tumor cell proliferation in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, and the images of atomic force microscopy (AFM) showed that the cell morphology underwent obvious changes after the capsule treatment. Additionally, cell membrane appeared wrinkles after the cells treated with the nanocapsules, resulting in a rough cell surface, implying that the cytoskeleton would involve in the cell uptake of nanocapsules. Moreover, the AuNCs and curcumin in the system could exert synergistic effect on the inhibition of tumor cell growth and induction of cell apoptosis. The study highlights the potential of the system as a promising agent for drug delivery and tumor cell theranosis.

Abstract
Biocompatible and biodegradable porous scaffolds with adjustable pore structure have aroused increasing interest in bone tissue engineering. Here, we report a facile method to fabricate hierarchical macroporous biocompatible (HmPB) scaffolds by combining Pickering high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) templates with three-dimensional (3D) printing. HmPB scaffolds composed of a polymer matrix of poly(l-lactic acid), PLLA, and poly(ε-caprolactone), PCL, are readily fabricated by solvent evaporation of 3D printed Pickering HIPEs which are stabilized by hydrophobically modified silica nanoparticles (h-SiO2). The pore structure of HmPB scaffolds is easily tailored to be similar to natural extracellular matrix (ECM) by varying the fabrication conditions of the Pickering emulsion or adjusting the printing parameters. In addition, in vivo drug release studies which employ enrofloxacin (ENR) as a model drug indicate the potential of HmPB scaffolds as a drug carrier. Furthermore, in vivo cell culture assays prove that HmPB scaffolds that possess good biocompatibility as mouse bone mesenchymal stem cells (mBMSCs) can adhere and proliferate well on them. All the results suggest that HmPB scaffolds hold great potential in bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Pickering emulsion, a kind of emulsion stabilized only by solid particles locating at oil-water interface, has been discovered a century ago, while being extensively studied in recent decades. Substituting solid particles for traditional surfactants, Pickering emulsions are more stable against coalescence and can obtain many useful properties. Besides, they are more biocompatible when solid particles employed are relatively safe in vivo. Pickering emulsions can be applied in a wide range of fields, such as biomedicine, food, fine chemical synthesis, cosmetics, and so on, by properly tuning types and properties of solid emulsifiers. In this article, we give an overview of Pickering emulsions, focusing on some kinds of solid particles commonly serving as emulsifiers, three main types of products from Pickering emulsions, morphology of solid particles and as-prepared materials, as well as applications in different fields.

Abstract
Biodegradable and bioactive nanocomposite (NC) biomaterials with controlled microstructures and able to deliver special drugs have gained increasing attention in bone tissue engineering. In this study, the hydroxyapatite (HAp)/poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) NC scaffolds were facilely prepared using solvent evaporation from templating Pickering emulsions stabilized with PLLA-modified HAp (g-HAp) nanoparticles. Then, in vitro mineralization experiments were performed in a simulated body fluid (SBF) to evaluate the bioactivity of the NC scaffolds. Moreover, in vitro drug release of the NC scaffolds using anti-inflammatory drug (ibuprofen, IBU) as the model drug was also investigated. The results showed that the NC scaffolds possessed interconnected pore structures, which could be modulated by varying the g-HAp nanoparticle concentration. The NC scaffolds exhibited excellent bioactivity, since they induced the formation of calcium-sufficient, carbonated apatite nanoparticles on the scaffolds after mineralization in SBF for 3 days. The IBU loaded in the NC scaffolds showed a sustained release profile, and the release kinetic followed the Higuchi model with diffusion process. Thus, solvent evaporation based on Pickering emulsion droplets is a simple and effective method to prepare biodegradable and bioactive porous NC scaffolds for bone repair and replacement applications.

Abstract
Oxidized carbon nanotubes (CNTOs) with hydrophilic oxygen-containing functional groups and hydrophobic conjugated structure are prepared by the oxidation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). After the polymerization of styrene with CNTOs dispersed in aqueous phase, polystyrene (PS) microspheres with string-like structure are obtained. Thermogravimetic analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and Raman results indicate the strong interaction between the separated PS chains from the oil phase and CNTOs during the initial stage of the polymerization. These adsorbed PS chains on the surface of CNTOs are quickly swollen by the monomer and they grow in size during the further polymerization. The pH value and the ion strength of aqueous phase obviously affect the stability of PS microspheres. The particle size of microspheres is also determined by the pH. We demonstrate that the one-dimensional structure of CNTOs is responsible for the formation of polymer microspheres with special architecture.
