Abstract
In clinical application, it's highly desirable for developing bio-functionalized cutaneous scaffold with transparent features for convenient observation, excellent biocompatibility, and high efficiency for promoting wound repair. Herein, allantoin-functionalized composite hydrogel was developed by coupling silk fibroin (SF) and sodium alginate (SA) for treatment of cutaneous wounds. The prepared allantoin-functionalized SF-SA composite scaffolds (AFAS) exhibited excellent mechanical properties, especially featured by similar ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elongation at breaking to human skin. Besides, the solvent-casting method guaranteed the AFAS to obtain highly transparent properties with sufficient moisture permeability and excellent adhesion in wet state. In vitro cellular experiments demonstrated excellent biocompatibility of the scaffold that attachment and proliferation of NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells was promoted in the presence of AFAS. Furthermore, the scaffolds exhibited efficient hemostatic property, based on rat hepatic hemorrhage model. In a cutaneous excisional mouse wound model, the AFAS significantly improved the wound closure rate, compared with pure SF-SA scaffolds and blank control. Moreover, the histomorphological assessments showed that AFAS facilitated the integrity of skin and wound healing process by enhancing collagen deposition, re-epithelialization and vascularization at wound site. The results demonstrate that the novel allantoin-functionalized SF/SA transparent hydrogel has great potential for clinical treatment of cutaneous wound.

Abstract
Bacterial contamination of biomaterials is a common problem and a serious threat to human health worldwide. Therefore, the development of multifunctional biomaterials that possess antibacterial properties and can resist infection is a continual goal for biomedical applications. Silk fibroin (SF), approved by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a biomaterial, is one of the most widely studied natural polymers for biomedical applications due to its unique mechanical properties, biocompatibility, tunable biodegradation, and versatile material formats. In the last decade, many methods have been employed for the development of antibacterial SF-based biomaterials (SFBs) such as physical loading or chemical functionalization of SFBs with different antibacterial agents and bio-inspired surface modifications. In this review, we first describe the current understanding of the composition and structure-properties relationship of SF as a leading-edge biomaterial. Then we demonstrate the different antibacterial agents and methods implemented for the development of bactericidal SFBs, their mechanisms of action, and different applications. We briefly address their fabrication methods, advantages, and limitations, and finally discuss the emerging technologies and future trends in this research area.

Abstract
Titanium and its alloys have superb biocompatibility, low elastic modulus, and favorable corrosion resistance. These exceptional properties lead to its wide use as a medical implant material. Titanium itself does not have antibacterial properties, so bacteria can gather and adhere to its surface resulting in infection issues. The infection is among the main reasons for implant failure in orthopedic surgeries. Nano-modification, as one of the good options, has the potential to induce different degrees of antibacterial effect on the surface of implant materials. At the same time, the nano-modification procedure and the produced nanostructures should not adversely affect the osteogenic activity, and it should simultaneously lead to favorable antibacterial properties on the surface of the implant. This article scrutinizes and deals with the surface nano-modification of titanium implant materials from three aspects: nanostructures formation procedures, nanomaterials loading, and nano-morphology. In this regard, the research progress on the antibacterial properties of various surface nano-modification of titanium implant materials and the related procedures are introduced, and the new trends will be discussed in order to improve the related materials and methods.

Abstract
The effect of graphene oxide (GO) or reduced GO (rGO) on the structure and properties of polyelectrolyte-complexed chitosan/alginate bionanocomposites is highly dependent on plasticiser type (glycerol or 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([C2mim][OAc])) due to the competing interactions between the components. For the glycerol-plasticised chitosan/alginate matrix, inclusion of GO/rGO enhanced the chitosan crystallinity and increased matrix ductility. While the chitosan/alginate matrix plasticised by [C2mim][OAc] showed dramatically weakened interactions between the two biopolymers, GO was highly effective at counteracting the effect of [C2mim][OAc] by interacting with the biopolymers and the ionic liquid ions, resulting in enhanced mechanical properties and decreased surface hydrophilicity. Compared with GO, rGO was much less effective at promoting chitosan-alginate interactions and even resulted in higher surface hydrophilicity. However, irrespective of the plasticiser type, inclusion of rGO resulted in reduced crystallinity by restricting the interactions between [C2mim][OAc] and the biopolymers, and higher ionic conductivity.

Abstract
pH is one of the most important properties associated with an aqueous solution and various pH measurement techniques are available. In this study, Azure A-modified poly(methacrylic acid) (AA-PMA) was synthesized used to prepare a layer-by-layer deposited film with poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) on a glassy carbon electrode via electrostatic interactions and the multilayer film-immobilized electrode was used to measure pH. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) measurement were performed. Consequently, the oxidation potential of AA on the electrode changed with pH. As per Nernst's equation, because H+ ions are involved in the redox reaction, the peak potential shifted depending on the pH of the solution. The peak potential shifts are easier to detect by DPV than CV measurement. Accordingly, using electrochemical responses, the pH was successfully measured in the pH range of 3 to 9, and the electrodes were usable for 50 repeated measurements. Moreover, these electrochemical responses were not affected by interfering substances.

Abstract
Silk fibroin (SF) is increasingly needed in tissue engineering for its superior biocompatibility. However, the practical applications of pure SF biomaterials confront bacterial infection problems. In this study, chitosan (CS) and polydopamine (PDA) were introduced into electrospun nanofibrous SF mats through layer-by-layer self-assembly (LBL) to obtain enhanced antibacterial ability and cytocompatibility. The surface morphology and composition analysis confirmed the successful deposition. After depositing 15 bilayers, the tensile modulus of the mats in wet condition increased from 2.16 MPa (pristine SF mats) to 4.89 MPa. A trend towards better hydrophilicity performance was also recorded with more bilayers coating on the mats. Besides, LBL structured mats showed improved antibacterial ability of more than 98 % against E. coli and S. aureus. In addition, advancement in biocompatibility was observed during the proliferation experiment of L929 cells. Overall, the deposition of CS and PDA may further expand the use of SF in biomedical field.

Abstract
The complexity of cardiovascular disease requires that the materials for preparing vascular grafts possess good biocompatibility, high mechanical property, and even some excellent additional properties. In this study, polycaprolactone (PCL) with good mechanical property and natural source silk fibroin (SF) were electrospun into PCL/SF nanofibers to obtain the nanofibrous substrate. With the addition of SF, the mechanical property of PCL/SF nanofibrous mats was maintained to a certain extent. While, the hydrophilicity of PCL/SF nanofibrous mats was greatly improved which is more suitable for immersive layer-by-layer assembly (LBL). The oppositely charged heparin (Hep) and chitosan (CS) were alternatively deposited on the surface of PCL/SF nanofibers via LBL. After implanting human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) on the LBL-structured nanofibrous mats for 48 h, it was confirmed that the CS/Hep bilayers enhanced the biocompatibility of the nanofibers. Furthermore, the results of the antibacterial test showed that the antibacterial effects of the LBL-structured nanofibrous mats for Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were both achieved 95% when the number of Hep/CS bilayer was 10. It can be demonstrated that the LBL-structured nanofibrous mats with improved biocompatibility and reduced infectivity had been prepared successfully, and can be potentially used in vascular grafts.

Abstract
In this study, nanofibrous scaffolds were prepared from polyurethane and cellulose acetate using electrospinning. Reduced graphene oxide/silver nanocomposites, rGO/Ag, were also used into the mats due to the strong antibacterial activity of rGO/Ag nanocomposites. In order to prevent the agglomeration of silver nanoparticles, AgNPs, the nanoparticles were decorated onto the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets. Initially, Graphene oxide, briefly GO, was synthesized by the improved Hummer method. Then, nanocomposites of reduced graphene oxide were decorated with Ag and were fabricated via a green and facile hydrothermal method. Thereafter, the scaffold containing rGO/Ag nanocomposites, curcumin or both of them were prepared using the electrospinning method. The obtained scaffolds were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle, tensile analysis, porosity, and water vapor transmission rate (WVTR). 3-[4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay, MTT, confirmed the biocompatibility of the composite nanofibers. The scaffolds were able to hinder both of the Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria through direct contact with them. In vivo histopathological studies indicated that the scaffold incorporated rGO/Ag nanocomposites and curcumin has the most effect on wound healing and can promote the healing rate of artificial wounds, which indicates the good biomedical potential of nanomaterial in wound healing.

Abstract
Corneal and conjunctival infections are common ocular diseases, sometimes, causing severe and refractory drug-resistant bacteria infections. Fungal keratitis is a leading cause for blindness and traditional medical treatment is unsatisfactory. Thus, there is an urge to develop a new therapy to deal with these cases. In this study, we developed surface modified poly(lactic acid) (PLA) electrospun nanofibrous membranes (EFMs) with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) as scaffolds for cell proliferation and antimicrobial application. The AgNPs with a very low content (below 0.1%) were easily anchored on the surface of PLA EFMs by CNF, which endowed the scaffold with hydrophilicity and antibacterial ability. The in-vitro cell co-culture experiments showed that the scaffold had great biocompatibility to ocular epithelial cells, especially the scaffolds coated by CNF, which significantly proliferated cells. Furthermore, the antibacterial activity could reach >95% inhibiting Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) due to the implantation of AgNPs, and the antifungal activity was also outstanding with most of the Fusarium spp. inhibited. Hence, the developed PLA EFMs with CNF and AgNPs are promising ocular bandages to promote cell proliferation and kill infectious pathogens, exhibiting potential applications in ocular wound healing in the future.

Abstract
The antibacterial materials with biodegradable and biocompatible nature have unveiled novel prospects to combat the bacterial infection, which has always been a troubling and challenging issue in the biomedical field. In this study, chitosan (CS) and Titanium dioxide (TiO2) microparticles were well immobilized on polylactic acid (PLA) mats by electrospinning-electrospraying hybrid technique. The surface morphology, chemical composition and characteristic group of the mats were characterized. The results indicated that CS/TiO2 microparticles were successfully immobilized on the surface of PLA mats. In addition, the antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity of the composite mats were investigated to confirm that the layer-by-layer immobilization of CS/TiO2 microparticles via electrospraying could enhance the antibacterial effect and biocompatibility of the mats. At the same time, the PLA-(CS/TiO2-1.5%)1.5 mats exhibited the best performance in antibacterial effect (up to about 95%) and cell viability (nearly 92% and 95% at 3 d and 5 d). The composite mats have great potential as an effective antibacterial material for the biomedical applications.
