Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 263:130176. [PMID: 38368977 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2023] [Revised: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 02/20/2024]
Abstract
Smart gating membranes have drawn much attention due to the controllable pore structure. Herein, a smart gating membrane with dual responsiveness was prepared from bacteria cellulose (BC) grafted with pH- and temperature-responsive polymers. By external stimulation, the average pore size of the membrane can be controlled from 33.75 nm to 144.81 nm, and the pure water flux can be regulated from 342 to 2118 L·m-2·h-1 with remarkable variation in the pH range of 1-11 and temperature range of 20-60 °C. The adjustability of pore size is able to achieve the gradient selective separation of particles and polymers with different sizes. In addition, owing to the underwater superoleophobicity and the nanoscale pore structure, the membrane separation efficiencies of emulsified oils are higher than 99 %. Moreover, the controllable pore size endows the membrane with good self-cleaning performance. This nanocellulose-based smart gating membrane has potential applications in the fields of controllable permeation, selective separation, fluid transport, and drug/chemical controlled release systems.

Zheng Z, Zhang H, Qian K, Li L, Shi D, Zhang R, Li L, Yu H, Zheng C, Xie S, Zhao Y, Yang X. Wood structure-inspired injectable lignin-based nanogels as blood-vessel-embolic sustained drug-releasing stent for interventional therapies on liver cancer. Biomaterials 2023; 302:122324. [PMID: 37738740 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2023.122324] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2023] [Revised: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 09/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
An embolic reagent with easy injection, well-controlled target embolization, and sustained release of chemotherapy drugs is urgently needed for successful trans-arterial chemo-embolization (TACE) treatment. However, the development of a highly effective embolic reagent is still challenged. Here, inspired and guided by the structural supporting properties and defense mechanisms of wood cell walls, an ideal lignin-based embolic nanogel (DOX-pN-KL) was explored. Based on the mechanical support of branched lignin and the π-π stacking force between the lignin aromatic ring with anti-tumor drug doxorubicin (DOX), DOX-pN-KL showed the highest mechanical strength among the reported thermosensitive embolization nanogel and performed high drug-loading and favorable sustained-release. Moreover, further TACE treatment and tumor microenvironment evaluation of VX2 tumor-bearing rabbits showed that this nanogel can completely block all levels of vessels in long term and continuously release DOX, thus having effective inhibition on tumor growth and metastasis. DOX-pN-KL is expected to be a promising alternative reagent for interventional therapy.

JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY. B, BIOLOGY 2023; 245:112750. [PMID: 37419056 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2023.112750] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Revised: 06/15/2023] [Accepted: 06/21/2023] [Indexed: 07/09/2023]
Abstract
Interpenetrated network (IPN) hydrogels with desired mechanical properties were prepared based on gelatin. A copolymer of dimethyl aminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) with 2-Acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS) in gelatin was chemically cross-linked with methylene bis acrylamide (MBA) to form a semi-IPN hydrogel. Also, IPN hydrogel is fabricated from the AMPS-co-DMAEMA and gelatin in the presence of ferric ions with both chemical and physical cross-linkers. According to the compression test, the metal-ligand interaction has a remarkable impact on the mechanical strength of hydrogel. Ferric ions caused a decrease in the pores size confirmed by the SEM images of hydrogels, resulting in preserving its mechanical stability during the swelling test due to a more robust structure of hydrogel. Ferric to ferrous ions reduction is observed under visible light irradiation, which results in a light-sensitive hydrogel with a higher rate of biodegradation compared to semi-IPN hydrogels. MTT assay results implied that the synthesized hydrogels are non-toxic for the L-929 cell line. Also, for more detailed investigations, histological studies are conducted as in vivo tests. With regards to the improvements of mechanical properties harnessed in IPN hydrogels by ferric ions along with the extraordinary self-healing capability, IPNs would be considered an appropriate option for tissue engineering.

Abstract
In this work, a class of bio-based hydrogels (LN-NH-SA hydrogel) were prepared from aminated lignin and sodium alginate. The physical and chemical properties of the LN-NH-SA hydrogel were fully characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, and other techniques. LN-NH-SA hydrogels were tested for the adsorption of dyes (methyl orange and methylene blue). The LN-NH-SA@3 hydrogel showed better adsorption efficiency for MB with a maximum adsorption capacity of 388.81 mg·g-1, a bio-based adsorbent with a high adsorption capacity. The adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order model and fitted to the Freundlich isotherm equation. More importantly, LN-NH-SA@3 hydrogel maintained 87.64 % adsorption efficiency after 5 cycles. Overall, the proposed hydrogel with environmentally friendly and low cost is promising for the absorption of dye contamination.

Abstract
It is a huge challenge to construct a nanoprobe that can convert temperature stimulation into monochromatic signal with "turn-on" function. Here, a drug delivery system of berberine (BBR)-loaded hyaluronic acid (HA)-modified-L-cysteine (Cys) grafted (N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) was structured. HA-Cys-PN/BBR does not need to introduce other substances or external stimuli, by adjusting the temperature of this system, the fluorescence responsive intensity and reversible reciprocating control of the nanohydrogel with aggregation induced emission (AIE) performance can be realized. In addition, CD44-HA interaction can be used as targeting the delivery of cancer cells, thus, there is a great interest in development of targeting and imaging agents as payloads for tumor tissue therapy. Therefore, it can provide a side of the development with self-released drugs in the therapy of cancers or bacterial infections. Thus, HA-Cys-PN/BBR as AIE reversible nanogel has longer-term applications in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Hydrogels are spatially organized hydrophilic polymeric systems that exhibit unique features in hydrated conditions. Among the hydrogel family, composite hydrogels are a special class that are defined as filler-containing systems with some tailor-made properties. The composite hydrogel family includes magnetic-nanoparticle-integrated hydrogels. Magnetic hydrogels (MHGs) show magneto-responsiveness, which is observed when they are placed in a magnetic field (static or oscillating). Because of their tunable porosity and internal morphology they can be used in several biomedical applications, especially diffusion-related smart devices. External stimuli may influence physical and chemical changes in these hydrogels, particularly in terms of volume and shape morphing. One of the most significant external stimuli for hydrogels is a magnetic field. This review embraces a brief overview of the fabrication of MHGs and two of their usages in the biomedical area: drug delivery and hyperthermia-based anti-cancer activity. As for the saturation magnetization imposed on composite MHGs, they are easily heated in the presence of an alternating magnetic field and the temperature increment is dependent on the magnetic nanoparticle concentration and exposure time. Herein, we also discuss the mode of different therapies based on non-contact hyperthermia heating.
