[PMID: 38998546 PMCID: PMC11241757 DOI: 10.3390/foods13132040] [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: 05/29/2024] [Revised: 06/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Electrospinning biopolymer nanofibers have emerged as promising candidates for food packaging applications. In this study, dextran/zein nanofibers were fabricated using electro-blown spinning and subsequently cross-linked via the Maillard reaction (MR) at 60 °C and 50% relative humidity. Compared to traditional electrospinning, the introduction of air-blowing improved the sample preparation speed by 10 times. SEM analysis revealed that the nanofiber morphology remained stable upon MR treatment for 24 h. FTIR spectroscopy confirmed that the MR led to a deformation in the protein conformation and an increase in hydrophilicity and elasticity in the nanofibers cross-linked for 6 h. MR treatment for 18 h considerably enhanced the hydrophobicity and elastic modulus owing to covalent bond formation. Thermal analysis indicated an improved thermal stability with increasing MR duration. Mechanical property analysis revealed an increase in elastic modulus and a decrease in elongation at break for the nanofibers cross-linked for more than 6 h, indicating a trade-off between rigidity and flexibility. Notably, the water vapor permeability of the nanofibers cross-linked for 6 and 18 h was remarkably higher, which can be ascribed to the fiber morphology retention upon water evaporation. Overall, MR-cross-linked dextran/zein/xylose nanofibers showed tunable properties, making them a suitable encapsulation system for bioactive compounds.

Abstract
Diabetes's effects on wound healing present a major treatment challenge and increase the risk of amputation. When traditional therapies fail, new approaches must be investigated. With their submicron size and improved cellular internalisation, nanoparticles present a viable way to improve diabetic wound healing. They are attractive options because of their innate antibacterial qualities, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Nanoparticles loaded with organic or inorganic compounds, or embedded in biomimetic matrices such as hydrogels, chitosan, and hyaluronic acid, exhibit excellent anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. Drug delivery systems (DDSs)-more precisely, nanodrug delivery systems (NDDSs)-use the advantages of nanotechnology to get around some of the drawbacks of traditional DDSs. Recent developments show how expertly designed nanocarriers can carry a variety of chemicals, transforming the treatment of diabetic wounds. Biomaterials that deliver customised medications to the wound microenvironment demonstrate potential. Delivery techniques for nanomedicines become more potent than ever, overcoming conventional constraints. Therapeutics for diabetes-induced non-healing wounds are entering a revolutionary era thanks to precisely calibrated nanocarriers that effectively distribute chemicals. This review highlights the therapeutic potential of nanoparticles and outlines the multifunctional nanoparticles of the future that will be used for complete wound healing in diabetics. The investigation of novel nanodrug delivery systems has the potential to revolutionise diabetic wound therapy and provide hope for more efficient and focused therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
The electrospinning technology has set off a tide and given rise to the attention of a widespread range of research territories, benefiting from the enhancement of nanofibers which made a spurt of progress. Nanofibers, continuously produced via electrospinning technology, have greater specific surface area and higher porosity and play a non-substitutable key role in many fields. Combined with the degradability and compatibility of the natural structure characteristics of polysaccharides, electrospun polysaccharide nanofiber membranes gradually infiltrate into the life field to help filter air contamination particles and water pollutants, treat wounds, keep food fresh, monitor electronic equipment, etc., thus improving the life quality. Compared with the evaluation of polysaccharide-based nanofiber membranes in a specific field, this paper comprehensively summarized the existing electrospinning technology and focused on the latest research progress about the application of polysaccharide-based nanofiber in different fields, represented by starch, chitosan, and cellulose. Finally, the benefits and defects of electrospun are discussed in brief, and the prospects for broadening the application of polysaccharide nanofiber membranes are presented for the glorious expectation dedicated to the progress of the eras.

Abstract
Using barberry (Berberis vulgaris L.) as a natural dye in combination with electrospinning technology represents a promising approach for the development of intelligent packaging systems. In this study, the influence of different concentrations of zein (16, 18, and 20%) and barberry anthocyanin-rich powder (BARP) (16, 18, and 20%) on the surface tension and rheological properties of the solution were evaluated. The most favorable nanofibers (NFs) were obtained from a solution containing 18% (w/w) zein under constant voltage. The surface morphology, size, and color-changing properties of electrospun NFs derived from zein polymers containing different concentrations of BARP (16, 18, and 20%) under various electrical fields (20, 22, and 24 kV) were evaluated. The Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis confirmed the interaction of BARP within the zein-based NFs. The results indicated that the concentration of BARP had a noticeable impact on the physicochemical properties of the NFs. Furthermore, efficacy of the appropriately fabricated halochromic label was evaluated for monitoring the packed rainbow trout fillet during refrigerated storage. On the 10th day, a noticeable visual color turned from pink to pale yellow was observed in response to pH variations. Additionally, the TVN value confirmed the effectiveness of halochromic electrospun labels for non-invasive assessment of fish fillet quality.

Abstract
Wound healing and skin regeneration are major challenges in chronic wounds. Among the types of wound dressing products currently available in the market, each wound dressing material is designed for a specific wound type. Some of these products suffer from various shortcomings, such as poor antibacterial efficacy and mechanical performance, inability to provide a moist environment, poor permeability to oxygen and capability to induce cell migration and proliferation during the wound healing process. Hydrogels and nanofibers are widely reported wound dressings that have demonstrated promising capability to overcome these shortcomings. Cellulose acetate is a semisynthetic polymer that has attracted great attention in the fabrication of hydrogels and nanofibers. Loading bioactive agents such as antibiotics, essential oils, metallic nanoparticles, plant extracts, and honey into cellulose acetate-based nanofibers and hydrogels enhanced their biological effects, including antibacterial, antioxidant, and wound healing. This review reports cellulose acetate-based hydrogels and nanofibers loaded with bioactive agents for wound dressing and skin regeneration.

Abstract
A diabetic wound is a typical chronic wound with a long repair process and poor healing effects. It is an effective way to promote diabetic wound healing to design electrospinning nanofiber films with drug-assisted therapy, good air permeability and, a multilayer functional structure. In this paper, a diabetic wound dressing with a "sandwich-like" structure was designed. Metformin hydrochloride, loaded in the hydrophilic PVA inner layer, could effectively promote diabetic wound healing. The drug release was slowed down by osmosis. The laminate film dressing had good mechanical properties, with tensile strength and elongation at break reaching 5.91 MPa and 90.47 %, respectively, which was close to human skin. The laminate film loaded with erythromycin and puerarin in the hydrophobic PLA outer layer had good antibacterial properties. In addition, due to the high specific surface of the electrostatic spun film, it exhibited high water vapor permeability. It facilitates the gas exchange between the wound and the outside world. The cell experiments proved that the laminate film dressing had good biocompatibility. There was no toxic side effect on cell proliferation. In the diabetic animal wound model, it was shown that the closure rate of diabetic wound repair by laminate film reached 91.11 % in the second week. Our results suggest that the "sandwich-like" nanofiber film dressing could effectively promote the healing process and meet the various requirements of diabetic wound dressing as a promising candidate for future clinical application of chronic wound dressings.

Abstract
Inflammation is associated with the development and progression of a plethora of diseases including joint, metabolic, neurological, hepatic, and renal disorders. Sesamol, derived from the seeds of Sesamum indicum L., has received considerable attention due to its well-documented multipotent phytotherapeutic effects, including its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. However, to date, no comprehensive review has been established to highlight or summarize the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties of sesamol. Herein, we aim to address this gap in the literature by presenting a thorough review encapsulating evidence surrounding the range of inflammatory mediators and cytokines shown to be targeted by sesamol in modulating its anti-inflammatory actions against a range of inflammatory disorders. Additionally, evidence highlighting the role that sesamol has in modulating components of adaptive immunity including cellular immune responses and Th1/Th2 balance is underscored. Moreover, the molecular mechanisms and the signaling pathways underlying such effects are also highlighted. Findings indicate that this seemingly potent lignan mediates its anti-inflammatory actions, at least in part, via suppression of various pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-1β and TNFα, and downregulation of a multitude of signaling pathways including NF-κB and MAPK. In conclusion, we anticipate that sesamol may be employed in future therapeutic regimens to aid in more effective drug development to alleviate immune-related and inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
Wound healing is one of the major global health concerns in diabetic patients. Simvastatin (SMV) is a poorly soluble oral cholesterol-lowering drug that may aid diabetic wound healing. In the current study, a thixotropic peptide hydrogel of Fmoc-diphenylalanine (FmocFF) containing SMV was designed to accelerate skin wound healing effectively and safely in diabetic mice. FmocFF hydrogels were prepared at various concentrations by using the solvent-triggering technique and characterized by spectroscopic methods such as attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and fluorimetry. Mechanical behaviors were explored by oscillatory rheology. In model mice, the regenerative potential of the FmocFF-SMV hydrogel was evaluated in terms of wound contraction and closure, tissue regeneration, acute and chronic inflammation, granulation, and re-epithelization. The results showed that FmocFF-SMV hydrogels had an entangled nanofibrous microstructure and shear-thinning characteristics. FmocFF-SMV demonstrated a sustained drug release over 7 days. Compared to the unloaded FmocFF hydrogel, treatment with FmocFF-SMV led to superior diabetic wound recovery and reduced inflammation. Therefore, the utilization of the sustained-release FmocFF-SMV hydrogel formulation could become an attractive choice for topical wound therapy in diabetes patients.

Abstract
Diabetic ulcers are the second largest complication caused by diabetes mellitus. A great number of factors, including hyperchromic inflammation, susceptible microbial infection, inferior vascularization, the large accumulation of free radicals, and other poor healing-promoting microenvironments hold back the healing process of chronic diabetic ulcer in clinics. With the increasing clinical cases of diabetic ulcers worldwide, the design and development of advanced wound dressings are urgently required to accelerate the treatment of skin wounds caused by diabetic complications. Electrospinning technology has been recognized as a simple, versatile, and cost-reasonable strategy to fabricate dressing materials composed of nanofibers, which possess excellent extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimicking morphology, structure, and biological functions. The electrospinning-based nanofibrous dressings have been widely demonstrated to promote the adhesion, migration, and proliferation of dermal fibroblasts, and further accelerate the wound healing process compared with some other dressing types like traditional cotton gauze and medical sponges, etc. Moreover, the electrospun nanofibers are commonly harvested in the structure of nonwoven-like mats, which possess small pore sizes but high porosity, resulting in great microbial barrier performance as well as excellent moisture and air permeable properties. They also serve as good carriers to load various bioactive agents and/or even living cells, which further impart the electrospinning-based dressings with predetermined biological functions and even multiple functions to significantly improve the healing outcomes of different chronic skin wounds while dramatically shortening the treatment procedure. All these outstanding characteristics have made electrospun nanofibrous dressings one of the most promising dressing candidates for the treatment of chronic diabetic ulcers. This review starts with a brief introduction to diabetic ulcer and the electrospinning process, and then provides a detailed introduction to recent advances in electrospinning-based strategies for the treatment of diabetic wounds. Importantly, the synergetic application of combining electrospinning with bioactive ingredients and/or cell therapy was highlighted. The review also discussed the advantages of hydrogel dressings by using electrospun nanofibers. At the end of the review, the challenge and prospects of electrospinning-based strategies for the treatment of diabetic wounds are discussed in depth.

Abstract
In this study, composite nanofiber films comprising polyvinyl alcohol, wheat gluten, and glucose (PWG) were fabricated using electrospinning, followed by crosslinking via Maillard crosslinking. Various mass concentrations of ferulic acid (FA) were incorporated into PWG films. The results indicated that the average diameter of the FA-PWG films decreased from 449 nm to 331 nm as the concentration of FA increased, until reaching a concentration of 12%; after which, a significant increase in diameter was observed. The subsequent Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results suggested that FA was distributed in the sample films in an amorphous form through hydrogen and ester bonds. Additionally, release experiments and antimicrobial tests on the FA-PWG sample films showed the good controlled release of FA and excellent anti-Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus activity of this film. These findings all indicate that the FA-PWG nanofiber film is a potential candidate for active food packaging.

Abstract
Significance: Nowadays, the wound dressing is no longer limited to its primary wound protection ability. Hydrogel, sponge-like material, three dimensional-printed mesh, and nanofiber-based dressings with incorporation of functional components, such as nanomaterials, growth factors, enzymes, antimicrobial agents, and electronics, are able to not only prevent/treat infection but also accelerate the wound healing and monitor the wound-healing status. Recent Advances: The advances in nanotechnologies and materials science have paved the way to incorporate various functional components into the dressings, which can facilitate wound healing and monitor different biological parameters in the wound area. In this review, we mainly focus on the discussion of recently developed functional wound dressings. Critical Issues: Understanding the structure and composition of wound dressings is important to correlate their functions with the outcome of wound management. Future Directions: "All-in-one" dressings that integrate multiple functions (e.g., monitoring, antimicrobial, pain relief, immune modulation, and regeneration) could be effective for wound repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Diabetic ulcers (DUs) are one of the most serious complications of diabetes mellitus. The application of a functional dressing is a crucial step in DU treatment and is associated with the patient's recovery and prognosis. However, traditional dressings with a simple structure and a single function cannot meet clinical requirements. Therefore, researchers have turned their attention to advanced polymer dressings and hydrogels to solve the therapeutic bottleneck of DU treatment. Hydrogels are a class of gels with a three-dimensional network structure that have good moisturizing properties and permeability and promote autolytic debridement and material exchange. Moreover, hydrogels mimic the natural environment of the extracellular matrix, providing suitable surroundings for cell proliferation. Thus, hydrogels with different mechanical strengths and biological properties have been extensively explored as DU dressing platforms. In this review, we define different types of hydrogels and elaborate the mechanisms by which they repair DUs. Moreover, we summarize the pathological process of DUs and review various additives used for their treatment. Finally, we examine the limitations and obstacles that exist in the development of the clinically relevant applications of these appealing technologies. This review defines different types of hydrogels and carefully elaborate the mechanisms by which they repair diabetic ulcers (DUs), summarizes the pathological process of DUs, and reviews various bioactivators used for their treatment.

Abstract
Globally, diabetic mellitus (DM) is a common metabolic disease that effectively inhibits insulin production, destroys pancreatic β cells, and consequently, promotes hyperglycemia. This disease causes complications, including slowed wound healing, risk of infection in wound areas, and development of chronic wounds all of which are significant sources of mortality. With an increasing number of people diagnosed with DM, the current method of wound healing does not meet the needs of patients with diabetes. The lack of antibacterial ability and the inability to sustainably deliver necessary factors to wound areas limit its use. To overcome this, a new method of creating wound dressings for diabetic patients was developed using an electrospinning methodology. The nanofiber membrane mimics the extracellular matrix with its unique structure and functionality, owing to which it can store and deliver active substances that greatly aid in diabetic wound healing. In this review, we discuss several polymers used to create nanofiber membranes and their effectiveness in the treatment of diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Natural plants and their products continue to be the major source of phytoconstituents in food and therapeutics. Scientific studies have evidenced the benefits of sesame oil and its bioactives in various health conditions. Various bioactives present in it include sesamin, sasamolin, sesaminol, and sesamol; among these, sesamol represents a major constituent. This bioactive is responsible for preventing various diseases including cancer, hepatic disorders, cardiac ailments, and neurological diseases. In the last decade, the application of sesamol in the management of various disorders has attracted the increasing interest of the research community. Owing to its prominent pharmacological activities, such as antioxidant, antiinflammatory, antineoplastic, and antimicrobial, sesamol has been explored for the above-mentioned disorders. However, despite the above-mentioned therapeutic potential, its clinical utility is mainly hindered owing to low solubility, stability, bioavailability, and rapid clearance issues. In this regard, numerous strategies have been explored to surpass these restrictions with the formulation of novel carrier platforms. This review aims to describe the various reports and summarize the different pharmacological activities of sesamol. Furthermore, one part of this review is devoted to formulating strategies to improve sesamol's challenges. To resolve the issues such as the stability, low bioavailability, and high systemic clearance of sesamol, novel carrier systems have been developed to open a new avenue to utilize this bioactive as an efficient first-line treatment for various diseases.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) induced wound healing impairment remains a serious health problem and burden on the clinical obligation for high amputation rates. Based on the features of wound microenvironment, biomaterials loading specific drugs can benefit diabetic wound treatment. Drug delivery systems (DDSs) can carry diverse functional substances to the wound site. Nano-drug delivery systems (NDDSs), benefiting from their features related to nano size, overcome limitations of conventional DDSs application and are considered as a developing process in the wound treatment field. Recently, a number of finely designed nanocarriers efficiently loading various substances (bioactive and non-bioactive factors) have emerged to circumvent constraints faced by traditional DDSs. This review describes various recent advances of nano-drug delivery systems involved in mitigating diabetes mellitus-based non-healing wounds.

Abstract
Oil and organic pollutants are significant disasters affecting the aquatic ecosystem and human health. A novel nanofiber composite from cellulose acetate/activated carbon (CA/AC) was successfully fabricated by the electrospinning technique. CA/AC nanofiber composites were prepared from 10% (w/v) polymer solutions dissolving in DMA/acetone ratio 1:3 (v/v) with adding three different percentages of AC (3.7, 5.5, and 6.7%) to the total weight of CA. The prepared CA/AC nanofiber composite morphology reveals randomly oriented bead-free fibers with submicron fiber diameter. CA/AC nanofiber composites were further characterized by TGA, DSC, and surface area analysis. Water uptake was investigated for fabricated fibers at different pH. Oil adsorption was conducted in both static (oil only) and dynamic (oil/water) systems to estimate the adsorption capacity of prepared composites to treat heavy and light machine oils. The results showed increased oil adsorption capacity incorporating activated carbon into CA nanofiber mats. The maximum sorption capacity reached 8.3 and 5.5 g/g for heavy and light machine oils obtained by CA/AC5.5 (AC, 5.5%). A higher oil uptake was reported for the CA/AC composite nanofibers and showed a constant sorption capacity after the second recycles in the reusability test. Of isotherm models, the most applicable model was the Freundlich isotherm model. The result of kinetic models proved the fit of the pseudo-second-order kinetic model to the adsorption system.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds are one of the serious, non-healing, chronic health issues faced by individuals suffering from diabetic mellitus. The distinct phases of wound healing are either prolonged or obstructed, resulting in the improper healing of diabetic wounds. These injuries require persistent wound care and appropriate treatment to prevent deleterious effects such as lower limb amputation. Although there are several treatment strategies, diabetic wounds continue to be a major threat for healthcare professionals and patients. The different types of diabetic wound dressings that are currently used differ in their properties of absorbing wound exudates and may also cause maceration to surrounding tissues. Current research is focused on developing novel wound dressings incorporated with biological agents that aid in a faster rate of wound closure. An ideal wound dressing material must absorb wound exudates, aid in the appropriate exchange of gas, and protect from microbial infections. It must support the synthesis of biochemical mediators such as cytokines, and growth factors that are crucial for faster healing of wounds. This review highlights the recent advances in polymeric biomaterial-based wound dressings, novel therapeutic regimes, and their efficacy in treating diabetic wounds. The role of polymeric wound dressings loaded with bioactive compounds, and their in vitro and in vivo performance in diabetic wound treatment are also reviewed.

Abstract
Irritant contact dermatitis is usually treated with corticosteroids, which cause expressive adverse effects. Sesamol is a phenolic compound with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. This study was designed to evaluate a hydrogel containing sesamol-loaded ethylcellulose nanocapsules for the treatment of irritant contact dermatitis. The nanocapsules presented a size in the nanometric range, a negative zeta potential, a sesamol content close to the theoretical value (1 mg/mL), and a 65% encapsulation efficiency. Nanoencapsulation protected sesamol against UVC-induced degradation and increased the scavenging activity assessed by ABTS and DPPH radicals. The hydrogels were prepared by thickening the nanocapsule suspensions with guar gum (2.5%). The hydrogels maintained the nanometric size of the nanocapsules and a sesamol content of approximately 1 mg/g. The HET-CAM assay classified the hydrogels as nonirritating. The in vitro release of the hydrogel containing sesamol in the nanoencapsulated form demonstrated an initial burst effect followed by a prolonged sesamol release and a lower skin permeation in comparison with the hydrogel containing free sesamol. In addition, it exhibited the best anti-inflammatory effect in the irritant contact dermatitis model induced by croton oil, reducing ear edema and inflammatory cells infiltration, similar to dexamethasone (positive control). Therefore, the hydrogel containing sesamol in the nanoencapsulated form seemed to have a therapeutic potential in treating irritant contact dermatitis.

Abstract
Antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and pro-angiogenic properties are prerequisites for dressing materials that accelerate the healing process of infected wounds. Herein, we report a magnesium-doped silica bioactive glass (SiO2/MgO) nanofiber membrane prepared by electrospinning. Our results demonstrate that this SiO2/MgO nanofiber membrane has good flexibility and hydrophilicity, which give it intimate contact with wound beds. In vitro assessments illustrate its good cytocompatibility and bioactivity that contribute to its robust cell proliferation and angiogenesis. It shows capacity in modulating the cellular inflammatory response of murine macrophages. In addition, in vitro assays prove its good antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains. In a full-thickness skin defect inoculated with Staphylococcus aureus in mice, it effectively inhibits bacterial infection. Both gene expression and histological/immunohistochemical analyses confirmed the down-regulated pro-inflammatory factors, up-regulated anti-inflammatory factors, and enhanced angiogenesis. Taken together, these desirable properties work in concert to contribute to the rapid healing of infected wounds and make it a good candidate for wound dressing materials.

Polymers (Basel) 2022; 15:polym15010211. [PMID: 36616561 PMCID: PMC9823312 DOI: 10.3390/polym15010211] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2022] [Revised: 12/28/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
In the current work, chitosan (CS)-metal oxide nanohybrid (MONH) composites are prepared via combining CS with MONH made of vanadium oxide (V2O5), ytterbium trioxide (Yb2O3), and graphene oxide (GO) to generate promising wound dressing materials using the film-casting method. The developed nanohybrid@CS was examined using techniques such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM)/energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). For Yb2O3@CS, the surface morphology was shown to be a rough and porous surface with pores that ranged in size from 3.0 to 5.0 µm. For CS with Yb2O3, Yb2O3/V2O5@CS, and Yb2O3/V2O5/GO@CS, the contact angles were 72.5°, 68.2°, and 46.5°, respectively. When the nanohybrid@CS was in its hydrophilic phase, which is good for absorbing moisture and drugs, there was a notable decrease in angles that tended to rise. Additionally, the inclusion of MONH allowed the cell viability to be confirmed with an IC50 of 1997.2 g/mL and the cell growth to reach 111.3% at a concentration of 7.9 g/mL.

Abstract
Chronic diabetic wounds are one of the main complications of diabetes, manifested by persistent inflammation, decreased epithelialization motility, and impaired wound healing. This will not only lead to the repeated hospitalization of patients, but also bear expensive hospitalization costs. In severe cases, it can lead to amputation, sepsis or death. Electrospun nanofibers membranes have the characteristics of high porosity, high specific surface area, and easy functionalization of structure, so they can be used as a safe and effective platform in the treatment of diabetic wounds and have great application potential. This article briefly reviewed the pathogenesis of chronic diabetic wounds and the types of dressings commonly used, and then reviewed the development of electrospinning technology in recent years and the advantages of electrospun nanofibers in the treatment of diabetic wounds. Finally, the reports of different types of nanofiber dressings on diabetic wounds are summarized, and the method of using multi-drug combination therapy in diabetic wounds is emphasized, which provides new ideas for the effective treatment of diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Tissue engineering has emerged as an interesting field nowadays; it focuses on accelerating the auto-healing mechanism of tissues rather than organ transplantation. It involves implanting an In Vitro cultured initiative tissue or a scaffold loaded with tissue regenerating ingredients at the damaged area. Both techniques are based on the use of biodegradable, biocompatible polymers as scaffolding materials which are either derived from natural (e.g. alginates, celluloses, and zein) or synthetic sources (e.g. PLGA, PCL, and PLA). This review discusses in detail the recent applications of different biomaterials in tissue engineering highlighting the targeted tissues besides the in vitro and in vivo key findings. As well, smart biomaterials (e.g. chitosan) are fascinating candidates in the field as they are capable of elucidating a chemical or physical transformation as response to external stimuli (e.g. temperature, pH, magnetic or electric fields). Recent trends in tissue engineering are summarized in this review highlighting the use of stem cells, 3D printing techniques, and the most recent 4D printing approach which relies on the use of smart biomaterials to produce a dynamic scaffold resembling the natural tissue. Furthermore, the application of advanced tissue engineering techniques provides hope for the researchers to recognize COVID-19/host interaction, also, it presents a promising solution to rejuvenate the destroyed lung tissues.

Abstract
Being the first barrier between the human body and external environments, our skin is highly vulnerable to injuries. As one of the conventional therapies, botanicals prepared in different topical formulations have been applied as medical care for centuries. With the current increase of clinical requirements, applications of botanicals are heading towards nanotechnologies, typically fused with electrospinning that forms nanofibrous membranes suitable for skin wound healing. In this review, we first introduced the main process of wound healing, and then presented botanicals integrated into electrospun matrices as either loaded drugs, or carriers, or membrane coatings. In addition, by addressing functional features of individual botanicals in the healing of injured skin, we further discussed the bioactivity of botanical electrospun membranes in relevant to the medical issues solved in the process of wound healing. As achieved by pioneer studies, due to infrequent adverse effects and the diversity in resources of natural plants, the development of electrospun products based on botanicals is gaining greater attention. However, investigations in this field have mainly focused on different methodologies used in the preparation of nanofibrous membranes containing botanicals, their translation into clinical practices remains unaddressed. Accordingly, we propose that potential clinical applications of botanical electrospun membranes require not only the further expansion and understanding of botanicals, but also an establishment of standard criteria for the evaluation of wound healing and evolutions of technologies to support the large-scale manufacturing industry.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds are one of the most common health problems worldwide, enhancing the demand for new management strategies. Nanotechnology, as a developing subject in diabetic wound healing, is proving to be a promising and effective tool in treatment and care. It is, therefore, necessary to ascertain the available and distinct nanosystems and evaluate their performance when topically applied to the injury site, especially in diabetic wound healing. Several active ingredients, including bioactive ingredients, growth factors, mesenchymal stem cells, nucleic acids, and drugs, benefit from improved properties when loaded into nanosystems. Given the risk of problems associated with systemic administration, the topical application should be considered, provided stability and efficacy are assured. After nanoencapsulation, active ingredients-loaded nanosystems have been showing remarkable features of biocompatibility, healing process hastening, angiogenesis, and extracellular matrix compounds synthesis stimulation, contributing to a decrease in wound inflammation. Despite limitations, nanotechnology has attracted widespread attention in the scientific community and seems to be a valuable technological ally in the treatment and dressing of diabetic wounds. The use of nanotechnology in topical applications enables efficient delivery of the active ingredients to the specific skin site, increasing their bioavailability, stability, and half-life time, without compromising their safety.

Abstract
Background The diversified combination of nanostructure and material has received considerable attention from researchers to exploit advanced functional materials. In drug delivery systems, the hydrophilicity and sustained–release drug properties are in opposition. Thus, difficulties remain in the simultaneous improve sustained–release drug properties and increase the hydrophilicity of materials. Methods In this work, we proposed a modified triaxial electrospinning strategy to fabricate functional core–shell fibres, which could elaborate design of shell component for manipulating the sustained-release drug. Cellulose acetate (CA) was designed as the main polymeric matrix, whereas polyethylene glycol (PEG) was added as a hydrophilic material in the middle layer. Cur, as a model drug, was stored in the inner layer. Results Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) demonstrated that the cylindrical F2–F4 fibres had a clear core–shell structure. The model drug Cur in fibres was verified in an amorphous form during the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results indicated good compatibility with the CA matrix. The water contact angle test showed that functional F2–F4 fibres had a high hydrophilic property in 120 s and the control sample F1 needed over 0.5 h to obtain hydrophilic property. In the initial stage of moisture intrusion into fibres, the quickly dissolved PEG component guided the water molecules and rapidly eroded the internal structure of functional fibres. The good hydrophilicity of F2–F4 fibres brought relatively excellent swelling rate around 4600%. Blank outer layer of functional F2 fibres with 1% PEG created an exciting opportunity for providing a 96 h sustained-release drug profile, while F3 and F4 fibres with over 3% PEG provided a 12 h modified drug release profile to eliminate tailing–off effect. Conclusion Here, the functional F2–F4 fibres had been successfully produced by using the advanced modified triaxial electrospinning nanotechnology with different polymer matrices. The simple strategy in this work has remarkable potential to manipulate hydrophilicity and sustained release of drug carriers, meantime it can also enrich the preparation approaches of functional nanomaterials.

Abstract
Electrospun zein membranes are suitable for various biomedical applications. A UV-crosslinked electrospun membrane of a zein/PEO blend for wound healing application was explored in this work. The improvement in mechanical properties of the membrane after UV crosslinking was attributed to the change in protein conformation from an α-helix to a β-sheet. The circular dichroism (CD) spectra and FTIR spectra confirmed this conformational change. XRD analysis was shown to prove the amorphous nature of polymer blends with specific broad peaks at 2θ = 9° and 20°. The water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of the membrane was found to be in the range of 1500-2000 g m-2 day-1, which was well suited with that of commercially available wound dressing material. Enough number of available functional groups like thiol, amino, and hydroxyl groups supplement a blood clotting index (BCI) to the matrix, causing 99% BCI within 4 min. A 91% cell viability result in the MTT assay with human dermal fibroblast cells confirmed the noncytotoxicity of the membrane. Tripeptides produced after the thermolysin-based hydrolysis of zein caused inhibition of TGF β1 expression and thus increased fibroblast and collagen production. The membrane stimulated 54% more collagen production compared to control cells at day 2 and caused 84% wound closure in human dermal fibroblast cells, which were desirable index markers of a potential wound care material.

Abstract
The obtainment of new materials with distinct properties by mixing two or more polymers is a potential strategy in sustainable packaging research. In the present work, a blend of cellulose acetate (CA) and zein (60:40 wt/wt CA:zein) was manufactured by adding glycerol or tributyrin as plasticizers (30% wt/wt), and garlic essential oil (GEO), complexed (IC) or not with β-cyclodextrin (βCD), to produce active packaging. Blends plasticized with tributyrin exhibited a more homogeneous surface than those containing glycerol, which showed major defects. The blends underperformed compared with the CA films regarding mechanical properties and water vapor permeability. The presence of IC also impaired the films’ performance. However, the blends were more flexible than zein brittle films. The films added with GEO presented in vitro activity against Listeria innocua and Staphylococcus aureus. The IC addition into films, however, did not ensure antibacterial action, albeit that IC, when tested alone, showed activity against both bacteria. These findings suggest that the mixture of CA and plasticizers could increase the range of application of zein as a sustainable packaging component, while essential oils act as a natural bioactive to produce active packaging.

Abstract
Nanocellulose, a biopolymer, has received wide attention from researchers owing to its superior physicochemical properties, such as high mechanical strength, low density, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. Nanocellulose can be extracted from wide range of sources, including plants, bacteria, and algae. Depending on the extraction process and dimensions (diameter and length), they are categorized into three main types: cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), and bacterial nanocellulose (BNC). CNCs are a highly crystalline and needle-like structure, whereas CNFs have both amorphous and crystalline regions in their network. BNC is the purest form of nanocellulose. The nanocellulose properties can be tuned by chemical functionalization, which increases its applicability in biomedical applications. This review highlights the fabrication of different surface-modified nanocellulose to deliver active molecules, such as drugs, proteins, and plasmids. Nanocellulose-mediated delivery of active molecules is profoundly affected by its topographical structure and the interaction between the loaded molecules and nanocellulose. The applications of nanocellulose and its composites in tissue engineering have been discussed. Finally, the review is concluded with further opportunities and challenges in nanocellulose-mediated delivery of active molecules.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds are severe injuries that are common in patients that suffer from diabetes. Most of the presently employed wound dressing scaffolds are inappropriate for treating diabetic wounds. Improper treatment of diabetic wounds usually results in amputations. The shortcomings that are related to the currently used wound dressings include poor antimicrobial properties, inability to provide moisture, weak mechanical features, poor biodegradability, and biocompatibility, etc. To overcome the poor mechanical properties, polymer-based wound dressings have been designed from the combination of biopolymers (natural polymers) (e.g., chitosan, alginate, cellulose, chitin, gelatin, etc.) and synthetic polymers (e.g., poly (vinyl alcohol), poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid), polylactide, poly-glycolic acid, polyurethanes, etc.) to produce effective hybrid scaffolds for wound management. The loading of bioactive agents or drugs into polymer-based wound dressings can result in improved therapeutic outcomes such as good antibacterial or antioxidant activity when used in the treatment of diabetic wounds. Based on the outstanding performance of polymer-based wound dressings on diabetic wounds in the pre-clinical experiments, the in vivo and in vitro therapeutic results of the wound dressing materials on the diabetic wound are hereby reviewed.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds are complications of diabetes which are caused by skin dystrophy because of local ischemia and hypoxia. Diabetes causes wounds in a pathological state of inflammation, resulting in delayed wound healing. The structure of electrospun nanofibers is similar to that of the extracellular matrix (ECM), which is conducive to the attachment, growth, and migration of fibroblasts, thus favoring the formation of new skin tissue at the wound. The composition and size of electrospun nanofiber membranes can be easily adjusted, and the controlled release of loaded drugs can be realized by regulating the fiber structure. The porous structure of the fiber membrane is beneficial to gas exchange and exudate absorption at the wound, and the fiber surface can be easily modified to give it function. Electrospun fibers can be used as wound dressing and have great application potential in the treatment of diabetic wounds. In this study, the applications of polymer electrospun fibers, nanoparticle-loaded electrospun fibers, drug-loaded electrospun fibers, and cell-loaded electrospun fibers, in the treatment of diabetic wounds were reviewed, and provide new ideas for the effective treatment of diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Biobased and biodegradable films were prepared by physically mixing 2,3-dialdehyde cellulose (DAC) with two other biopolymers, zein and gelatin, in three different proportions. The antimicrobial activities of the composite blends against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria increase with the increase of DAC content. Cell viability tests on mammalian cells showed that the materials were not cytotoxic. In addition, DAC and gelatin were able to promote thermal degradation of the blends. However, DAC increased the stiffness and decreased the glass transition temperature of the blends, while gelatin was able to decrease the stiffness of the film. Morphological analysis showed the effect of DAC on the surface smoothness of the blends. The contact angle confirmed that all blends were within the range of hydrophilic materials. Although all the blends showed impressive performance for wound dressing application, the blend with gelatin might be more suitable for this purpose due to its better mechanical performance and antibacterial activity.

Abstract
Tailing off release in the sustained release of water-insoluble curcumin (Cur) is a significant challenge in the drug delivery system. As a novel solution, core-shell nanodrug containers have aroused many interests due to their potential improvement in drug-sustained release. In this work, a biodegradable polymer, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), and hydrophilic polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were exploited as drug delivery carriers by coaxial electrospinning, and the core-shell drug-loaded fibers exhibited improved sustained release of Cur. A cylindrical morphology and a clear core-shell structure were observed by scanning and transmission electron microscopies. The X-ray diffraction pattern and infrared spectroscopy revealed that Cur existed in amorphous form due to its good compatibility with PHBV and PVP. The in vitro drug release curves confirmed that the core-shell container manipulated Cur in a faster drug release process than that in the traditional PHBV monolithic container. The combination of the material and structure forms a novel nanodrug container with a better sustained release of water-insoluble Cur. This strategy is beneficial for exploiting more functional biomedical materials to improve the drug release behavior.

Abstract
Diabetic mellitus (DM) is the most communal metabolic disease resulting from a defect in insulin secretion, causing hyperglycemia by promoting the progressive destruction of pancreatic β cells. This autoimmune disease causes many severe disorders leading to organ failure, lower extremity amputations, and ultimately death. Modern delivery systems e.g., nanofiber (NF)-based systems fabricated by natural and synthetic or both materials to deliver therapeutics agents and cells, could be the harbinger of a new era to obviate DM complications. Such delivery systems can effectively deliver macromolecules (insulin) and small molecules. Besides, NF scaffolds can provide an ideal microenvironment to cell therapy for pancreatic β cell transplantation and pancreatic tissue engineering. Numerous studies indicated the potential usage of therapeutics/cells-incorporated NF mats to proliferate/regenerate/remodeling the structural and functional properties of diabetic skin ulcers. Thus, we intended to discuss the aforementioned features of the NF system for DM complications in detail.

Abstract
Au@Se core-shell nanoparticles were obtained via laser ablation technique to be incorporated into polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibrous scaffolds for wound healing applications at different contributions of Se nanoparticles (SeNPs). The synthesized layers were inspected via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR). Additionally, microstructural and surface morphology were followed with different SeNPs contributions before and after fibroblast culturing. Moreover, Selenium dopant is affected Maximum roughness valley depth while it starts from 0.31 µm at Au@0.0Se@PCL reaching 0.457 µm at Au@12Se@PCL; however, after culturing starts from 0.3833 µm reaching 0.41 µm. Besides, the antibacterial activity was screened, showing the absence of inhibition zones in free selenium composition; however, it grows up reaching 8.3 ± 0.8, and 8.0 ± 0.8 for E. coli and S. aureus, respectively at the maximum contribution of selenium. SeNPs contributed composites show higher cell viability than Selenium free composite that it reaches its max in Au@8.0Se@PCL, recording 95.3 ± 2.3%. Composites show an excellent Wound dressing capability that its performance is directly proportional to selenium content. This significant enrichment of antibacterial activity and cell viability could recommend these composites for additional research in medical applications.

Abstract
Application of wound-healing/dressing biomaterials is amongst the most promising approaches for wound repair through protection from pathogen invasion/contamination, maintaining moisture, absorbing exudates, modulating inflammation, and facilitating the healing process. A wide range of materials are used to fabricate wound-healing/dressing biomaterials. Active wound-healing/dressings are next-generation alternatives for passive biomaterials, which provide a physical barrier and induce different biological activities, such as antibacterial, antioxidant, and proliferative effects. Cellulose-based biomaterials are particularly promising due to their tunable physical, chemical, mechanical, and biological properties, accessibility, low cost, and biocompatibility. A thorough description and analysis of wound-healing/dressing structures fabricated from cellulose-based biomaterials is discussed in this review. We emphasize and highlight the fabrication methods, applied bioactive molecules, and discuss the obtained results from in vitro and in vivo models of cellulose-based wound-healing biomaterials. This review paper revealed that cellulose-based biomaterials have promising potential as the wound-dressing/healing materials and can be integrated with various bioactive agents. Overall, cellulose-based biomaterials are shown to be effective and sophisticated structures for delivery applications, safe and multi-customizable dressings, or grafts for wound-healing applications.

Abstract
The rapid development of egg industries produced vast byproducts that have not been effectively used. In this paper, the comprehensive utilization of egg byproducts was reviewed. Protein extraction and enzymatic hydrolysis were the main used ways for recycle of egg byproducts. The fact that eggshell membrane could accelerate would healing and improve facial skin of healthy people for 12 weeks was found. However, salted egg white had poor functional properties owing to high salt and ultrafiltration was an effective technology to remove 92.93% of salt. Moreover, Defatted yolk protein had the great potential to be used as food additives and functional foods. Other egg byproducts such as egg inhibitor and eggshells also were discussed. The novel applications of egg byproducts in the food field included food additives, feeds, food packaging materials and nutraceuticals based on current knowledge, but the proportion needed to be improved. This paper would provide a new insight for comprehensive utilization of egg byproducts.

Abstract
In this study, the gluten/zein nanofibrous films were fabricated by blending electrospinning and then glycated with xylose via Maillard reaction. The average fiber diameter of the gluten film decreased from 551 to 343 nm with the increasing ratio of zein, but increased significantly to a range of 717-521 nm after glycation, which induced a higher thermal stability of the nanofibers with an order to disorder transition. The glycated composite films showed the reduced water vapor permeability and improved water stability with a stiffer and more elastic network structure, due to the enhanced intermolecular entanglements and interactions between polymer chains. The results from this work suggested that the composite gluten/zein electrospun films may be glycated via Maillard reaction to obtain desirable physical properties for active food-packaging applications.

Abstract
Skin wounds can lead to numerous complications with dangerous health consequences. In this work, magnetite nanoparticles were doped with different concentrations of antimicrobial silver (Ag) ions and incorporated into the electrospun nanofibrous ε-polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds. Nanoparticles and scaffolds with various Ag contents were characterized using a range of physicochemical techniques. Ag entered magnetite as cations and preferentially positioned at tetrahedral sites, introducing lattice distortions and topographic irregularities. Amorphization of the structure due to accommodation of Ag expanded the lattice in the bulk and contracted it on the surface, where broadened distribution of Fe-O coordinations was detected. Promoting spin canting and diminishing the double exchange interaction through altered distribution of ferric and ferrous ions, Ag softened the magnetism of magnetite. By making the nanoparticle structure more defective, Ag modified the interface with the polymer and promoted the protrusion of the nanoparticles from the surface of the polymeric nanofibers, thus increasing their roughness and hydrophilicity, with positive repercussions on cell adhesion and growth. Both the viability of human melanocytes and the antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus increased with the concentration of Ag in the magnetite phase of the scaffolds. Skin wound healing rate in rats also increased in direct proportion with the concentration of Ag in the magnetite phase, and no abnormalities in the dermal and epidermal tissues were visible on day 10 in the treatment group. These results imply an excellent potential of these composite nanofibrous scaffolds for use as wound dressings and in other reconstructive skin therapies.

Abstract
In this study, multifunctional porous composite hydrogels are prepared via composite technology and using poly(glutamic acid) and (polylysine) as precursors, casein as foaming agent, and calcium ions as coagulant. The results show that the as-prepared hydrogels have high porosity and water absorbency, and good mechanical, inherent antibacterial, and bioadhesive properties. The results show such high water absorption, bioadhesion, and porosity of the as-prepared hydrogel can effectively concentrate blood components and seal wounds better. The release of calcium ions in the as-prepared hydrogels can activate coagulation factors. Both factors can play an important role in hemostasis. The excellent hydroscopicity, moisture retention, adhesion, and inherent antibacterial properties of the as-prepared hydrogel can create a moist, sterile, and closed microenvironment for the wound healing. The experimental results of a deep skin defect model have verified its good effect of promoting wound repair. These inherent excellent properties can endow the as-prepared hydrogel with a wide range of application values.

Multifunctional bioactive core-shell electrospun membrane capable to terminate inflammatory cycle and promote angiogenesis in diabetic wound. Bioact Mater 2021; 6:2783-2800. [PMID: 33665509 PMCID: PMC7900605 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2021.01.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 50] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2020] [Revised: 01/25/2021] [Accepted: 01/31/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Diabetic wound (DW) healing is a major clinical challenge due to multifactorial complications leading to prolonged inflammation. Electrospun nanofibrous (NF) membranes, due to special structural features, are promising biomaterials capable to promote DW healing through the delivery of active agents in a controlled manner. Herein, we report a multifunctional composite NF membrane loaded with ZnO nanoparticles (NP) and oregano essential oil (OEO), employing a new loading strategy, capable to sustainedly co-deliver bioactive agents. Physicochemical characterization revealed the successful fabrication of loaded nanofibers with strong in vitro anti-bacterial and anti-oxidant activities. Furthermore, in vivo wound healing confirmed the potential of bioactive NF membranes in epithelialization and granulation tissue formation. The angiogenesis was greatly prompted by the bioactive NF membranes through expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Moreover, the proposed NF membrane successfully terminated the inflammatory cycle by downregulating the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin −6 (IL-6) and matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9). In vitro and in vivo studies revealed the proposed NF membrane is a promising dressing material for the healing of DW. A modified loading strategy was employed for dual bioactive agents through electrospinning. The nanofibers sustainedly released the two bioactive agents. The fabricated bioactive membranes turned out to be biocompatible, antioxidant and antibacterial. The proposed bioactive membranes have posesses the potential of healing diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Major lignans of sesame sesamin and sesamolin are benzodioxol--substituted furofurans. Sesamol, sesaminol, its epimers, and episesamin are transformation products found in processed products. Synthetic routes to all lignans are known but only sesamol is synthesized industrially. Biosynthesis of furofuran lignans begins with the dimerization of coniferyl alcohol, followed by the formation of dioxoles, oxidation, and glycosylation. Most genes of the lignan pathway in sesame have been identified but the inheritance of lignan content is poorly understood. Health-promoting properties make lignans attractive components of functional food. Lignans enhance the efficiency of insecticides and possess antifeedant activity, but their biological function in plants remains hypothetical. In this work, extensive literature including historical texts is reviewed, controversial issues are critically examined, and errors perpetuated in literature are corrected. The following aspects are covered: chemical properties and transformations of lignans; analysis, purification, and total synthesis; occurrence in Seseamum indicum and related plants; biosynthesis and genetics; biological activities; health-promoting properties; and biological functions. Finally, the improvement of lignan content in sesame seeds by breeding and biotechnology and the potential of hairy roots for manufacturing lignans in vitro are outlined.

Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2021; 199:111557.

Abstract
Diabetic infection is a long-term complication difficult to cure. The skin of diabetic patients is prone to damage, the healing is slow after the injury, and the wound occurs repeatedly. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an effective method for treating diabetes wounds. In this study, we used the electrospinning technique to load Huangbai Liniment (Compound Phellodendron Liquid, CPL) into Silk fibroin (SF) /poly-(L-lactide-co-caprolactone) (PLCL) to prepare the nanofiber membrane (SP/CPL) to treat the diabetic wound. The morphology and structure of the nanofibers were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The SEM results indicate the smooth and bead free fibers and the diameter of the fiber decreased with increasing drug concentration. The release profile indicates the sustained release of the drug. Moreover, the drug-loaded nanofibers showed inhibitory effects for S.aureus and E.coli. Furthermore, in vitro cell culture studies showed the increased proliferation and adhesion of NIH-3T3 cells on the drug-containing nanofiber membrane. Animal experiments showed that the nanofiber membrane loaded with CPL increases the expression of the TGF-β signaling pathway and collagen during wound healing, inhibits the expression of pro-inflammatory factors, and thus effectively promotes wound healing in diabetic mice. Therefore, the SP/CPL nanofiber scaffold with CPL loading is a potential candidate for diabetic wound dressings and tissue engineering.
