Abstract
Human lectins are involved in a wide variety of biological processes, both physiological and pathological, which have attracted the interest of the scientific community working in the glycoscience field. Multivalent glycosystems have been employed as useful tools to understand carbohydrate-lectin binding processes as well as for biomedical applications. The review shows the different scaffolds designed for a multivalent presentation of sugars and their corresponding binding studies to lectins and in some cases, their biological activities. We summarise this research by organizing based on lectin types to highlight the progression in this active field. The paper provides an overall picture of how these contributions have furnished relevant information on this topic to help in understanding and participate in these carbohydrate-lectin interactions.

Abstract
Endothelial cell adhesion molecules have long been proposed as promising targets in many pathologies. Despite promising preclinical data, several efforts to develop small molecule inhibitors or monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) ended in clinical-stage failure. In parallel, many well-validated approaches for targeting CAMs with nanomedicine (NM) were reported over the years. A wide range of potential applications has been demonstrated in various preclinical studies, from drug delivery to the tumor vasculature, imaging of the inflamed endothelium, or blocking immune cells infiltration. However, no NM drug candidate emerged further into clinical development. In this review, we will summarize the most advanced examples of CAM-targeted NMs and juxtapose them with known traditional drugs against CAMs, in an attempt to identify important translational hurdles. Most importantly, we will summarize the proposed strategies to enhance endothelial CAM targeting by NMs, in an attempt to offer a catalog of tools for further development.

Abstract
Carbohydrates are the most abundant and one of the most important biomacromolecules in Nature. Except for energy-related compounds, carbohydrates can be roughly divided into two categories: Carbohydrates as matter and carbohydrates as information. As matter, carbohydrates are abundantly present in the extracellular matrix of animals and cell walls of various plants, bacteria, fungi, etc., serving as scaffolds. Some commonly found polysaccharides are featured as biocompatible materials with controllable rigidity and functionality, forming polymeric biomaterials which are widely used in drug delivery, tissue engineering, etc. As information, carbohydrates are usually referred to the glycans from glycoproteins, glycolipids, and proteoglycans, which bind to proteins or other carbohydrates, thereby meditating the cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. These glycans could be simplified as synthetic glycopolymers, glycolipids, and glycoproteins, which could be afforded through polymerization, multistep synthesis, or a semisynthetic strategy. The information role of carbohydrates can be demonstrated not only as targeting reagents but also as immune antigens and adjuvants. The latter are also included in this review as they are always in a macromolecular formulation. In this review, we intend to provide a relatively comprehensive summary of carbohydrate-based macromolecular biomaterials since 2010 while emphasizing the fundamental understanding to guide the rational design of biomaterials. Carbohydrate-based macromolecules on the basis of their resources and chemical structures will be discussed, including naturally occurring polysaccharides, naturally derived synthetic polysaccharides, glycopolymers/glycodendrimers, supramolecular glycopolymers, and synthetic glycolipids/glycoproteins. Multiscale structure-function relationships in several major application areas, including delivery systems, tissue engineering, and immunology, will be detailed. We hope this review will provide valuable information for the development of carbohydrate-based macromolecular biomaterials and build a bridge between the carbohydrates as matter and the carbohydrates as information to promote new biomaterial design in the near future.

Abstract
Immunoimaging is a rapidly growing field stoked in large part by the intriguing triumphs of immunotherapy. On the heels of immunotherapy's successes, there exists a growing need to evaluate tumor response to therapy particularly immunotherapy, stratify patients into responders vs. non-responders, identify inflammation, and better understand the fundamental roles of immune system components to improve both immunoimaging and immunotherapy. Innovative nanomaterials have begun to provide novel opportunities for immunoimaging, in part due to their sensitivity, modularity, capacity for many potentially varied ligands (high avidity), and potential for multifunctionality/multimodality imaging. This review strives to comprehensively summarize the integration of nanotechnology and immunoimaging, and the field's potential for clinical applications.

Abstract
Antitumor therapy using a combination of drugs has shown increased clinical efficacy. Active constituents derived from plants can offer several advantages, such as high efficiacy, low toxicity, extensive effects, and multiple targets. At present, the combination of plants' active constituents and chemotherapeutic drugs has attracted increased attention. Nanodrug delivery systems (NDDSs) have been widely used in tumor-targeted therapy because of their efficacy of delivering antitumor drugs. The in vivo process of tumor-targeted NDDSs has several steps. They include blood circulation, tumor accumulation and penetration, target cell internalization and uptake, and drug release and drug response. In each step, NDDSs encounter multiple barriers that prevent their effective delivery to target sites. Studies have been performed to find alternative strategies to overcome these barriers. We reviewed the recent progress of codelivery of active constituents of plants and chemotherapeutics using NDDSs. Progress into transversing the physiological barriers for more effective in vivo antitumor delivery will be discussed in this review.

Abstract
Currently, there is no specific treatment for acute lung injury (ALI). E-selectin-binding peptide (Esbp), a high-affinity peptide that delivers drugs targeting inflammatory vascular endothelial cells, can bind to E-selectin and act as a targeting ligand for selective drug delivery. In this study, we coupled the thiol groups of Esbp to the amino groups on the surface of bovine serum albumin (BSA) using succinimidyl iodoacetic acid to make Esbp-modified BSA nanoparticles (BSANPs) at the average ratio of 19.3 μg Esbp to 1 mg BSA. The Esbp-modified BSANPs were spherical in shape and had a particle size of 266.7 ± 2.7 nm, polydispersity index of 0.165 ± 0.02, zeta potential of - 33.64 ± 1.23 mV, encapsulation efficiency of 84.3 ± 2.3%, and drug loading of 6.7 ± 0.32%. The cumulative release rate of dexamethasone-loaded Esbp-modified BSANPs was 51.2% within 12 h, significantly lower than that of 88.2% of free drugs. Moreover, Esbp-modified BSANPs could be uptaken in vitro by activated human umbilical vein endothelial cells and in vivo by the lungs of the established ALI mouse model. These results indicated that our Esbp-modified BSANPs delivery system has characteristics of good targeting ability and biocompatibility and is able to inhibit inflammation. Overall, our Esbp-modified BSANPs delivery system has therapeutic potentials as a new targeting drug system for the treatment of ALI in the future.

Abstract
In an attempt to improve therapeutic efficacy of dexamethasone (DXM)-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (NPs) for renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI)-induced acute renal injury (AKI), sialic acid (SA) is used as a ligand to target the inflamed vascular endothelium. DXM-loaded SA-conjugated polyethylene glycol (PEG)ylated NPs (SA-NPs) are prepared via solvent diffusion method and show the good colloidal stability. SA-NPs reduce apoptotic human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) via downregulating oxidative stress-induced Bax, upregulating Bcl-xL, and inhibiting Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 activation. Cellular uptake results suggest SA-NPs can be specifically internalized by the inflamed vascular endothelial cells (H2O2-pretreated HUVECs), and the mechanism is associated with the specific binding between SA and E-selectin receptor expressed on the inflamed vascular endothelial cells. Bio-distribution results further demonstrated the enhanced renal accumulation of DXM is achieved in AKI mice treated with SA-NPs, and its content is 2.70- and 5.88-fold higher than those treated with DXM and NPs at 6 h after intravenous administration, respectively. Pharmacodynamic studies demonstrate SA-NPs effectively ameliorate renal functions in AKI mice, as reflected by improved blood biochemical indexes, histopathological changes, oxidative stress levels and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Moreover, SA-NPs cause little negative effects on lymphocyte count and bone mineral density while DXM leads to severe osteoporosis. It is concluded that SA-NPs provide an efficient and targeted delivery of DXM for ischemia-reperfusion-induced injury-induced AKI, with improved therapeutic outcomes and reduced adverse effects.

Abstract
The present study was aimed at exploring the protective effects of Salvianolic acid B (SalB) against paraquat (PQ)-induced lung injury in mice. Lung fibrotic injuries were induced in mice by a single intragastrical administration of 300mg/kg PQ, then the mice were administrated with 200mg/kg, 400mg/kg SalB, 100mg/kg vitamin C (Vit C) and dexamethasone (DXM) for 14days. PQ-triggered structure distortion, collagen overproduction, excessive inflammatory infiltration, pro-inflammatory cytokine release, and oxidative stress damages in lung tissues and mortality of mice were attenuated by SalB in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, SalB was noted to enhance the expression and nuclear translocation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and reduce expression of the reactive oxygen species-generating enzyme Nox4 [NADPH (reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) oxidase-4]. SalB also inhibited the increasing expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 and the phosphorylation of its downstream target Smad3 which were enhanced by PQ. These results suggest that SalB may exert protective effects against PQ-induced lung injury and pulmonary fibrosis. Its mechanisms involve the mediation of Nrf2/Nox4 redox balance and TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling.

Abstract
Polysulfonated macromolecules are known to bind selectins, adhesion membrane proteins which are broadly implicated in inflammation. Commercially available branched polyethylenimine (PEI) was reacted with chlorosulfonic acid to generate sulfonated PEI with varying degrees of sulfonation. Remaining unreacted amine groups were then used for straightforward conjugation with pyropheophoribide-a, a near-infrared photosensitizer. Photosensitizer-labeled sulfonated PEI conjugates inhibited blood coagulation and were demonstrated to specifically bind to cells genetically programmed to overexpress L-selectin (CD62L) or P-selectin (CD62P). In vitro, following targeting, selectin-expressing cells could be destroyed via photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Legg-Calve-Perthes disease (LCPD) is still an enigma. Hemostatic abnormalities have been indicated in the pathogenesis. We had previously demonstrated enhanced tissue factor pathway inhibitor response, increased global fibrinolytic capacity, and an increase in thrombomodulin in patients with LCPD compared with healthy individuals. These studies emphasized the role of vascular endothelium in pathogenesis of the LCPD. P-selectin is expressed on activated platelets and endothelial cells, and E-selectin is expressed on activated endothelial cells. The aim of this study was to assess circulating E-selectin and P-selectin levels in LCPD patients, which might reflect an endothelium activation and/or injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 85 pediatric patients. Group I consisted of 55 patients with LCPD and group II (control) consisted of 30 healthy children. Peripheral venous blood concentrations of E-selectin and P-selectin levels were measured with a commercially available assay. RESULTS Mean age was 8.41±2.73 years in group I and 8.83±2.92 years in group II. Both E-selectin and P-selectin levels were higher in LCPD patients in comparison with the age-matched controls. E-selectin was 54.92±18.84 pg/mL in group I, 45.54±15.31 pg/mL in group II and P-selectin was 46.40±20.35 pg/mL in group I, 36.92±9.84 pg/mL in group II (P=0.022 and P=0.019, respectively). CONCLUSIONS On the basis of our results, two important endothelium and platelet markers, E-selectin and P-selectin, are upregulated in LCPD. Our results suggested that activated platelets and possibly endothelial activation, as reflected by enhanced P-selectin/E-selectin kinetics, might contribute to the microvascular thrombosis and/or inflammation of LCPD.

Abstract
Neovascularization plays fundamental roles in tumor growth and metastasis. Tumor blood vessels are highly accessible and express various angiogenic markers that are either not present or are expressed at low levels in normal vessels, thereby serving as favorable targets for cancer therapy. Cancer nanotechnology, as an integrated platform, offers great opportunities for optimizing drug efficacy and pharmacokinetics while reducing side effects. Nanoparticles with tunable size, shape and surface modification have been exploited to achieve effective tumor vascular targeting. Here, we briefly introduce the signatures of tumor neovascularization and the review investigations on vascular-targeted anti-tumor nanomedicines. We also provide our perspectives on the promising fields of combination therapy and theranostic nanomedicines, as well as the challenges of nanotechnology-based cancer therapy. Furthermore, introducing new functionality would significantly consolidate the current development of nanomaterials based on tumor vasculature targeting.
