Biol Trace Elem Res 2024:10.1007/s12011-024-04373-4. [PMID: 39397139 DOI: 10.1007/s12011-024-04373-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 09/10/2024] [Indexed: 10/15/2024]
Abstract
The study outlines the production of new copper nanoparticles infused with Curcuma longa extract to trigger apoptosis through P53 and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathways in bladder carcinoma cells. The structural characteristics of the nanoparticles that were synthesized were analyzed through various sophisticated methods such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). During the antioxidant evaluation, the IC50 values for copper nanoparticles and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radicals were found to be 116 µg/mL and 31 µg/mL, respectively. The cells treated with copper nanoparticles underwent evaluation through 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay for 48 h to determine their anticancer properties on TCCSUP bladder carcinoma cell. The TCCSUP cell line exhibited an IC50 of 290 µg/mL when exposed to copper nanoparticles. The viability of malignant cells decreased upon treatment with copper nanoparticles. Furthermore, the copper nanoparticles presence led to a 65-75% increase in cell apoptosis, along with an increase in Bax and cleaved caspase-8 and a decrease in the Bcl-2. Furthermore, the copper nanoparticles presence resulted in the suppression of colony formation. Notably, the molecular pathway analysis in cells treated with copper NPs demonstrated an increase in p53 expression, along with a decrease in the expression of both total and phosphorylated STAT3. This offers that p53 and STAT3 play a crucial role in the biological efficacies induced by the nanoparticles in human carcinoma cells. The data of our research suggest that copper NPs could have significant potential as an anticancer treatment for human bladder carcinoma cells.

Abstract
The requirement for accurate treatments for skin diseases and wounds, generated a rising interest towards multifunctional polymer composites, that are capable of mimicking the natural compositions in human body. Also, electroactive composite films disseminate endogenous electrical stimulations that encourage cell migration and its proliferation at wound site, proposing greater opportunities in upgrading the conventional wound patches. In this work, the composite film made of graphene oxide, Ag2O, PVA and chitosan were developed for wound healing applications, by the solution casting method. The even dispersibility of nanofiller in polymeric matrix was validated from the physicochemical analyses. The increment in roughness of the composite film surface was noted from AFM images. The thermal stability and porous nature of the polymer composite were also verified. A conductivity value of 0.16 × 10-4 Scm-1 was obtained for the film. From MTT assay, it was noted that the films were non-cytotoxic and supported cell adhesion along with cell proliferation of macrophage (RAW 264.7) cells. Moreover, the composite film also demonstrated non-hemolytic activity of <2 %, as well as excellent antibacterial activity towards E. coli and S. aureus. Thus, the obtained results validated that the prepared composite film could be chosen as an innovative candidate for developing state-of-the-art wound dressings.

Abstract
In this study, we employed a combination of electrospinning and electrospray techniques to fabricate wound dressings with a particle-fiber structure, providing dual characteristics of oxygen-releasing and intrinsic antioxidant properties, simultaneously. The electrospun part of the dressing was prepared from a blend of polycaprolactone/gallic acid-grafted-gelatin (GA-g-GE), enabling intrinsic ROS scavenging. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that PCL/GA-g-GE was fabricated by electrospinning. Furthermore, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) microparticles, containing calcium peroxide nanoparticles (CNPs), were considered as the oxygen production agent through the electrospray part. The CNP content was 1% and 3% w/w of PVP while biopolymer:PCL was 10% w/w. The fabricated structures were characterized in terms of fiber/particle morphology, elemental analysis, oxygen release behavior, ROS inhibition capacity, and water contact angle assessments. The covalent bonding of gallic acid to gelatin was confirmed by 1H-NMR, UV spectroscopy, and FTIR. According to the SEM results, the morphology of the prepared PCL/biopolymer fibers was bead-free and with a uniform average diameter. The analysis of released oxygen showed that by increasing the weight percentage of CNPs from 1 to 3 wt%, the amount of released oxygen increased from 120 mmHg to 195 mmHg in 24 h, which remained almost constant until 72 h. The obtained DPPH assay results revealed that the introduction of GA-g-GE into the fibrous structure could significantly improve the antioxidant properties of wound dressing compared to the control group without CNPs and modified gelatine. In vitro, the fabricated wound dressings were evaluated in terms of biocompatibility and the potential of the dressing to protect human dermal fibroblasts under oxidative stress and hypoxia conditions by an MTT assay. The presence of GA-g-GE led to remarkable protection of the cells against oxidative stress and hypoxia conditions. In vivo studies revealed that the incorporation of intrinsic ROS inhibition and oxygen-releasing properties could significantly accelerate the wound closure rate during the experimental period (7, 14, and 21 days). Additionally, histopathological investigations in terms of H&E and Masson's trichrome staining showed that the incorporation of the two mentioned capabilities remarkably facilitated the wound-healing process.

Abstract
The two-dimensional nanomaterials are characterized by their ultra-thin structure, diverse chemical functional groups, and remarkable anisotropic properties. Since its discovery in 2004, graphene has attracted significant scientific interest due to its potential applications in various fields, including electronics, energy systems, and biomedicine. In medicine, graphene is used for designing smart drug delivery systems, especially for antibiotics, and biosensing. Skin trauma is a prevalent dermatological condition that increasingly contributes to morbidities and mortalities, thus representing a significant health burden. During tissue damage, rapid skin repair is crucial to prevent blood loss and infection. Therefore, drugs used for skin trauma must possess antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials possess remarkable physical, chemical, optical, and biological characteristics due to their uniform shape, increased surface area, and surface charge. Graphene and its derivatives, transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), black phosphorous (BP), hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), MXene, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are among the commonly used 2D nanomaterials. Moreover, they exhibit antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. This review presents a comprehensive discussion of the clinical approaches employed for wound healing treatment and explores the applications of commonly used 2D nanomaterials to enhance wound healing outcomes.

Abstract
Designing and developing noble-metal-free catalysts are of current interest in clean hydrogen generation via water splitting. As carbonaceous species are ideal choices as templates for various electrocatalysis, an improved synthetic route and an in-depth understanding of their electrochemical performance are essential. Herein, we have investigated the catalytic performance of rGO-encapsulated Mn and V mixed oxide hybrid structures (MVG) on a NiFeP matrix, focusing on their potential for catalyzing hydrogen evolution in an alkaline environment. The hierarchical MVG hollow microspheres hybrids are synthesized via a simple one-step in situ solvothermal method and MVG/NiFeP coatings are developed by facile electroless plating technique. As evidenced from the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the multiple redox active sites in the 3d-band of Mn and V in MVG hybrid structural coatings serve as electron pumps, and rGO facilitates electronic conductions during catalytic reactions. The modulated electronic structure and strong synergistic effects between NiFeP and MVG facilitate rapid electron transfer kinetics, and the hybrids demonstrate superior HER performance. Consequently, the structural hybrid coatings possess an enhanced electronic conducting path (lower RCT = 545.3 Ω) and large ECSA values with a lower overpotential of 85 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a reduced Tafel slope of 64.1 mV dec-1 with Volmer-Heyrovsky mechanism in alkaline media.

Abstract
Burn wounds (BWs) with extensive blood loss, along with bacterial infections and poor healing, may become detrimental and pose significant rehabilitation obstacles in medical facilities. Therefore, the freeze-drying method synthesized novel hemocompatible chitosan, gelatin, and hyaluronic acid infused with graphene oxide-silymarin (CGH-SGO) hybrid constructs for application as a BW patch. Most significantly, synthesized hybrid constructs exhibited an interconnected-porous framework with precise pore sizes (≈118.52 µm) conducive to biological functions. Furthermore, the FTIR and XRD analyses document the constructs' physiochemical interactions. Similarly, enhanced swelling ratios, adequate WVTR (736 ± 78 g m-2 hr-1), and bio-degradation rates were seen during the physiological examination of constructs. Following the in vitro investigations, SMN-GO added to constructs improved their anti-bacterial (against E.coli and S. aureus), anti-oxidant, hemocompatible, and bio-compatible characteristics in conjunction with prolonged drug release. Furthermore, in vivo, implanting constructs on wounds exhibited significant acceleration in full-thickness burn wound (FT-BW) healing on the 14th day (CGH-SGO: 95 ± 2.1 %) in contrast with the control (Gauze: 71 ± 4.2 %). Additionally, contrary to gauze, the in vivo rat tail excision model administered with constructs assured immediate blood clotting. Therefore, CGH-SGO constructs with an improved porous framework, anti-bacterial activity, hemocompatibility, and biocompatibility could represent an attractive option for healing FT-BWs.

Abstract
Burn wounds (BWs) cause impairment of native skin tissue and may cause significant microbial infections that demand immediate care. Curcumin (Cur) and quercetin (Que) exhibit antimicrobial, hemocompatibility, ROS-scavenging, and anti-inflammatory properties. However, its instability, water insolubility, and low biological fluid absorption render it challenging to sustain local Cur and Que doses at the wound site. Therefore, to combat these limitations, we employed blow-spinning and freeze-drying to develop a multi-layered, Cur/Que-loaded gelatin/chitosan/PCL (GCP-Q/C) nanofibroporous (NFP) matrix. Morphological analysis of the NFP-matrix using SEM revealed a well-formed multi-layered structure. The FTIR and XRD plots demonstrated dual-bioactive incorporation and scaffold polymer interaction. Additionally, the GCP-Q/C matrix displayed high porosity (82.7 ± 2.07 %), adequate pore size (∼121 μm), enhanced water-uptake ability (∼675 % within 24 h), and satisfactory biodegradation. The scaffolds with bioactives had a long-term release, increased antioxidant activity, and were more effective against gram-positive (S. aureus) and gram-negative (E. coli) bacteria than the unloaded scaffolds. The in vitro findings of GCP-Q/C scaffolds showed promoted L929 cell growth and hemocompatibility. Additionally, an in vivo full-thickness BW investigation found that an implanted GCP-Q/C matrix stimulates rapid recuperation and tissue regeneration. In accordance with the findings, the Gel/Ch/PCL-Que/Cur NFP-matrix could represent an effective wound-healing dressing for BWs.

Abstract
Nanocomposites containing different effective materials have various effects, such as antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activity, which are desirable for wound dressing. Herein, nanocomposites based on chitosan/reduced graphene oxide (CS/rGO) containing curcumin (CS/rGO/Cur), curcumin and papain (CS/rGO/Cur/Pa), curcumin, papain, and collagen peptide (CS/rGO/CP/Cur/Pa), prepared using ionic gelation method and characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Differential Light Scattering (DLS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Subsequently, the nanocomposite's potential for wound healing was studied through parameters such as porosity, swelling, degradability, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, cell viability, and in-vivo. The results of FTIR, XRD, SEM, and DLS showed that the nanocomposites synthesized properly with an almost spherical morphology, an average diameter of below 100 nm (mostly 40-85 nm), and a hydrodynamic diameter of 455-616 nm. The various tests demonstrated the nanocomposite's effectiveness in wound healing. The results showed that CS/rGO/CP/Cur/Pa increased the anti-inflammatory and cell viability up to 99.7 % and 395 %, respectively, which is higher than others. Animal tests on rats showed that CS/rGO/CP/Cur/Pa accelerated the wound healing rate up to 70 %. In conclusion, the results showed that the nanocomposites based on CS/rGO significantly improve wound healing, and the presence of collagen peptides boost their wound healing potency.

Abstract
In this study, we used polyaldehyde gum Arabic (OGA) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) as a gel matrix to form an injectable self-healing hydrogel by Schiff-base bonding. Further, graphene oxide (GO) was loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) to the hydrogel, which resulted in a CMCS-OGA/GO@DOX hydrogel. We achieved a DOX drug loading capacity of 43.80 ± 1.13 %. Rheological studies showed that GO hydrogels have improved mechanical properties. The in vitro release profile showed pH responsiveness with 88.21 % DOX release at pH 5.5. Biocompatibility studies showed that the hydrogel composition had good cytocompatibility with L929 cells. The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay showed a cell survival rate of 93.88 % within 48 h. The DOX-loaded hydrogel exhibited higher cell mortality in breast cancer cells (4 T1), with an inhibition rate of 79.4 % at 48 h. Acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining experiments on 4 T1 cells showed that when loaded with the same DOX concentration, the hydrogel significantly reduced the toxic effects on normal cells, whereas it had significant cytotoxic effects on cancer cells. This result indicates that the prepared GO hydrogel drug delivery system can serve as a novel approach for localized breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
In this research, for the first time, graphene oxide doped chitosan (GO/CS) nano-biocomposite (NBC) is designed and prepared as a novel self-supportive thin layer for thin film microextraction (TFME) of fluoxetine (FLX) followed by determination applying HPLC-UV-Vis. The properties of the prepared self-supportive thin film were characterized applying ATR-FTIR, FESEM, and XRD techniques. The extraction capability of GO/CS NBC toward FLX has been evaluated, and the obtained results revealed that incorporation of GO into CS has led to higher extraction efficiency in comparison to the CS thin film. After optimizing the effective factors on the extraction efficiency, the figures of merit for the developed method have been evaluated for determination of FLX in various samples. Accordingly, the method's linearity is in the range of 0.4-800 ng mL-1 (R2 = 0.996), 4-1000 ng mL-1 (R2 = 0.994), 4-1000 ng mL-1 (R2 = 0.990), and 6-1000 ng mL-1 (R2 = 0.993) for deionized water, wastewater, urine and plasma samples, respectively. The limits of detection based on 3 S/N definition was 0.1, 1, 1 and 1.6 ng mL-1 for deionized water, wastewater, urine, and plasma samples, respectively. The repeatability of the developed method has been investigated in the term of intra-day, inter-day and inter-thin film precision and RSD% values for six replicate experiments were obtained 8.6%, 8.4% and 5.7%, respectively. The accuracy of the developed method has been investigated by extraction of FLX from spiked wastewater, plasma and urine samples and the relative recoveries of 104.4%, 87.3% and 82.4% have been resulted, respectively.

Abstract
Bacterial infections that cause chronic wounds provide a challenge to healthcare worldwide because they frequently impede healing and cause a variety of problems. In this study, loaded with tungsten oxide (WO3 ), Magnesium oxide (MgO), and graphene oxide (GO) on chitosan (CS) membrane, an inexpensive polymer casting method was successfully prepared for wound healing applications. All fabricated composites were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to study the synthesized film samples' morphology as well as their microstructure. The formed WO3/MgO@CS shows a great enhancement in the UV/VIS analysis with a highly intense peak at 401 nm and a narrow band gap (3.69 eV) compared to pure CS. The enhanced electron-hole pair separation rate is responsible for the WO3/MgO/GO@CS scaffold's antibacterial activity. Additionally, human lung cells were used to determine the average cell viability of nanocomposite scaffolds and reached 121 % of WO3 /MgO/GO@CS nanocomposite, and the IC50 value was found to be 1654 μg/mL. The ability of the scaffold to inhibit the bacteria has been tested against both E. coli and S. aureus. The 4th sample showed an inhibition zone of 11.5±0.5 mm and 13.5±0.5 mm, respectively. These findings demonstrate the enormous potential for WO3 /MgO/GO@CS membrane as wound dressings in the clinical management of bacterially infected wounds.

Abstract
Biocompatible fibrous scaffold containing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), 70S30C bioactive glass (BG), silver (Ag) nanoparticles and curcumin (Cur) was fabricated through electrospinning method. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) were employed to investigate the morphological characteristics of the scaffolds. In addition, biodegradability, hydrophilicity, and contact angle were studied as criteria for evaluating physical properties of the scaffolds. Tensile strength was reported to be 0.971 ± 0.093 MPa. Also, the viability of fibroblasts after 7 days of cell culture was 93.58 ± 1.36 %. The antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria was illustrated using inhibition zones of 13.12 ± 0.69 and 14.21 ± 1.37 mm, respectively. Histological results revealed that tissue regeneration after 14 days of surgery was much higher for the dressing group compared to the blank group. According to the obtained results, the authors introduce the PVA-BG-Ag-Cur scaffold as a promising candidate for skin tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Mechanical properties appropriate to native tissues, as an essential component in bone tissue engineering scaffolds, plays a significant role in tissue formation. In the current study, Poly-3 hydroxybutyrate-chitosan (PC) scaffolds reinforced with graphene oxide (GO) were made by the electrospinning method. The addition of GO led to a decrease in fibers diameter, an increase in thermal capacity and an improvement in the surface hydrophilicity of nanocomposite scaffolds. A significant increase in the mechanical properties of PC/GO (PCG) nanocomposite scaffolds was achieved due to the inherent strength of GO as well as its uniform dispersion throughout the polymeric matrix owing to hydrogen bonding and polar interactions. Also, lower biological degradation of the scaffolds (~30% in 100 days) due to the presence of GO provides essential mechanical support for bone regeneration. In addition, the bioactivity results showed that GO reinforcement significantly increases the biomineralization on the surface of the scaffolds. Evaluating cell adhesion and proliferation, as well as ALP activity of MG-63 cells on PC and PCG scaffolds indicated the positive effect of GO on scaffolds' biocompatibility. Overall, the improvement of physicochemical, mechanical, and biological properties of GO-reinforced scaffolds shows the potential of PCG nanocomposite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Burns have placed a devastating burden on public health because of leading to an increased risk of infection. Therefore, the development of an effective antibacterial dressing for wound healing is essential. The present work is mainly based on the fabrication of biodegradable polycaprolactone (PCL) films through a simple and cheap process of polymer casting using a novel combination of hydroxyapatite (HAP), cuprous oxide (Cu2O) NPs and graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets which have a great effect in preventing colonization and to modify the wound dreasing. The compositions played a key role in decreasing the contact angle of PCL from 47.02° to 11.53°. Further, the cell viability exhibited a viable cell ratio of 81.2% after 3 days of culturing. Moreover, the highest antibacterial activity was obtained from the film of Cu2O@PCl and showed high impact results in antibacterial behavior.

Abstract
In the age of fathoming biomedical predicaments, ardently emerged the field of materiobiology to effectively counter the archetypal and outdated therapies. Correspondingly, the subpar activity of the over-the-counter wound dressing pharmaceuticals have been dominated with the implementation of biocompatible, water-retaining exotic hydrogels to facilitate accelerated diabetic wound healing. Considering a strategy to develop a pragmatic biomimetic scaffold having the ability of dynamic wound healing with diminutive inflammation, we investigated the creation of graphene quantum dot (GQD)-polyacrylic acid (PAA) hybrid hydrogel. We observe appropriate percentage of GQD incorporation in PAA to demonstrate lower pro-inflammatory cytokines, interleukin (IL-6), and tumour necrosis factor (TNF-α) along with higher anti-inflammatory (IL-10) expressions in contrast to natural and standard controls. Likewise, histological examinations corresponding to the in-vitro and in-vivo toxicological analysis of GQD-PAA manifested to be a non-toxic, biocompatible saviour of diabetic wounds. This hybrid hydrogel reports the quickest diabetic wound healing of 13 days. Additionally, the hybrid hydrogel also demonstrates salient antibacterial activity against E. coli. We explore a multifaceted mechanistic approach attributed by the hybrid framework as an avant-garde solution in materiobiology and diabetic wound healing nexus. We believe the GQD-hybrid hydrogel reveals an advancement that could portray a new horizon against diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Bacterial infection of the wound could potentially cause serious complications and an enormous medical and financial cost to the rapid emergence of drug-resistant bacteria. Nanomaterials are an emerging technology, that has been researched as possible antimicrobial nanomaterials for the inhibition of wound infection and enhancement of wound healing. Graphene is 2-dimensional (2D) sheet of sp2 carbon atoms in a honeycomb structure. It has superior properties, strength, conductivity, antimicrobial, and molecular carrier abilities. Graphene and its derivatives, Graphene oxide (GO) and reduced GO (rGO), have antibacterial activity and could damage bacterial morphology and lead to the leakage of intracellular substances. Besides, for wound infection management, Graphene-platforms could be functionalized by different antibacterial agents such as metal-nanoparticles, natural compounds, and antibiotics. The Graphene structure can absorb near-infrared wavelengths, allowing it to be used as antimicrobial photodynamic therapy. Therefore, Graphene-based material could be used to inhibit pathogens that cause serious skin infections and destroy their biofilm community, which is one of the biggest challenges in treating wound infection. Due to its agglomerated structure, GO hydrogel could entrap and stack the bacteria; thus, it prevents their initial attachment and biofilm formation. The sharp edges of GO could destroy the extracellular polymeric substance surrounding the biofilm and ruin the biofilm biomass structure. As well as, Chitosan and different natural and synthetic polymers such as collagen and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) also have attracted a great deal of attention for use with GO as wound dressing material. To this end, multi-functional polymers based on Graphene and blends of synthetic and natural polymers can be considered valid non-antibiotic compounds useful against wound infection and improvement of wound healing. Finally, the global wound care market size was valued at USD 20.8 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4% from 2022 to 2027 (USD 27.2 billion). This will encourage academic as well as pharmaceutical and medical device industries to investigate any new materials such as graphene and its derivatives for the treatment of wound healing.

Abstract
This paper presents the synthesis of two new chitosan Schiff base (CSB) polymers, namely, 2PCT and 4MCT based on pyridin-2-ylmethyl-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde and 1-(4-methyl-3,5-dimethylisoxazole)-1H-indole-3-carbaldehyde with chitosan (CT). The structural features of CSB polymers were confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy and their antimicrobial activity was evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans. The antioxidant studies found that both 2PCT and 4MCT presented significant free radical scavenging activity with IC50 at 169.01 and 372.84 μg/mL, respectively. The cell viability results obtained from in vitro cytotoxicity studies performed using human monocyte leukemia (THP-1) cells were found to be 75.6 ± 0.25 % and 79.1 ± 1.5 % for 2PCT and 4MCT, respectively, at a concentration of 10 mg/mL. Flow cytometry analysis demonstrated the reducing ability of CSB polymers on intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in THP-1 cells. The overall results of antioxidant activity, in vitro biocompatibility and ability to reduce the intracellular ROS production emphasized that the CSB polymers prepared could serve as a potential biomaterial in biomedical applications, such as wound treatment process.

Abstract
Nanofibrous wound dressing is one of the most prominent stratagems for wound caring/management. This research is an approach for designing an electrospun wound dressing based on poly(ε-caprolactone)/hydroxypropyl cellulose/zinc oxide nanoparticles (PCL/HPC/n-ZnO), in which response surface methodology (RSM) was utilized to ascertain the optimum sample. It was observed that the addition of n-ZnO and Melilotus Officinalis (MO) extract could increase the fibers mean diameter, pore size, and crystallinity of mats. The mentioned quantities for a sample with the highest MO content (PHZM10) were equal to 469±105 nm, 544±370 nm, and 49.67%, respectively. Moreover, enhancing the amount of MO led to an increase in mechanical properties. In this respect, the PHZM10 sample had the modulus, strength, and toughness of 82.41±0.61, 20.45±0.30 MPa, and 4194.86 mJ, respectively. Also, according to the MTT assay, no cytotoxicity was reported from any of the manufactured samples. Besides, it was concluded that the antibacterial activity and nanofibrous structure of mats, and also their potential for release of MO extract could accelerate the wound healing. Hence, the wound closure index for the PHZM10 group was 99.3±1.1%. Based on all noted results, the PCL/HPC/n-ZnO/MO electrospun mats can be proposed as reassuring wound dressing candidates.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex biological process that involves tissue regeneration. Traditional wound dressings are dry, cannot provide a moist environment for wound healing, and do not have high antibacterial properties. Hydrogels, which are capable of retaining large amounts of water, can create a moist healing environment. Currently, phototherapies have exhibited a high potential for the treatment of bacterial infections. Therefore, combining hydrogels with phototherapy can adequately overcome the shortcomings of traditional wound treatment methods and show great potential for wound healing owing to their high efficiency, low irritation, and good antibacterial performance. In this review, the application of hydrogels combined with phototherapy in wound healing is summarized. First, the basic principles of photodynamic therapy and photothermal therapy are briefly introduced. In addition, the progress of the application of hydrogel combined with phototherapy in wound healing is systematically investigated. Finally, the challenges and prospects of combining hydrogel with phototherapy in wound healing are discussed.

Rhizome Bark Extract. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11061200. [PMID: 35740097 PMCID: PMC9219676 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11061200] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2022] [Revised: 06/11/2022] [Accepted: 06/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
A 70% ethanol(aq) extract of the rhizome bark of the invasive alien plant species Japanese knotweed (JKRB) with potent (in the range of vitamin C) and stable antioxidant activity was incorporated in 1% w/v into a chitosan biofoil, which was then characterized on a lab-scale. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay confirmed the antioxidant activity of the JKRB biofoil upon contact with the food simulants A, B, C, and D1 (measured half-maximal inhibitory concentrations—IC50) and supported the Folin–Ciocalteu assay result. The migration of the antioxidant marker, (−)-epicatechin, into all food simulants (A, B, C, D1, D2, and E) was quantified using liquid chromatography hyphenated to mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Calculations showed that 1 cm2 of JKRB biofoil provided antioxidant activity to ~0.5 L of liquid food upon 1 h of contact. The JKRB biofoil demonstrated antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. The incorporation of JKRB into the chitosan biofoil resulted in improved tensile strength from 0.75 MPa to 1.81 MPa, while elongation decreased to 28%. JKRB biofoil’s lower moisture content compared to chitosan biofoil was attributed to the formation of hydrogen bonds between chitosan biofoil and JKRB compounds, further confirmed with attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). The JKRB biofoil completely degraded in compost in 11 days. The future upscaled production of JKRB biofoil from biowastes for active packaging may support the fights against plastic waste, food waste, and the invasiveness of Japanese knotweed, while greatly contributing to the so-called ‘zero-waste’ strategy and the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The application of doxorubicin (DOX) in cancer therapy has been limited due to its drug resistance and poor internalization. Graphene oxide (GO) nanostructures have the capacity for DOX delivery while promoting its cytotoxicity in cancer. AREAS COVERED The favorable characteristics of GO nanocomposites, preparation method, and application in cancer therapy are described. Then, DOX resistance in cancer is discussed. The GO-mediated photothermal therapy and DOX delivery for cancer suppression are described. Preparation of stimuli-responsive GO nanocomposites, surface functionalization, hybrid nanoparticles, and theranostic applications are emphasized in DOX chemotherapy. EXPERT OPINION Graphene oxide nanoparticle-based photothermal therapy maximizes the anti-cancer activity of DOX against cancer cells. Apart from DOX delivery, GO nanomaterials are capable of loading anti-cancer agents and genetic tools to minimize drug resistance and enhance the cytolytic impact of DOX in cancer eradication. To enhance DOX accumulation in cancer cells, stimuli-responsive (redox-, light-, enzyme- and pH-sensitive) GO nanoparticles have been developed for DOX delivery. Further development of targeted delivery of DOX-loaded GO nanomaterials against cancer cells may be achieved by surface modification of polymers such as polyethylene glycol, hyaluronic acid, and chitosan. Doxorubicin-loaded GO nanoparticles have demonstrated theranostic potential for simultaneous diagnosis and therapy. Hybridization of GO with other nanocarriers such as silica and gold nanoparticles further broadens their potential anti-cancer therapy applications.

Abstract
The advancement of natural-based biomaterials in providing a carrier has revealed a wide range of benefits in the biomedical sciences, particularly in wound healing, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Incorporating nanoparticles within polymer composites has been reported to enhance scaffolding performance, cellular interactions and their physico-chemical and biological properties in comparison to analogue composites without nanoparticles. This review summarized the current knowledge of nanoparticles incorporated into natural-based biomaterials with effects on their cellular interactions in wound healing. Although the mechanisms of wound healing and the function of specific cells in wound repair have been partially described, many of the underlying signaling pathways remain unknown. We also reviewed the current understanding and new insights into the wingless/integrated (Wnt)/β-catenin pathway and other signaling pathways of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), Notch, and Sonic hedgehog during wound healing. The findings demonstrated that most of the studies reported positive outcomes of biomaterial scaffolds incorporated with nanoparticles on cell attachment, viability, proliferation, and migration. Combining therapies consisting of nanoparticles and biomaterials could be promising for future therapies and better outcomes in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Abstract
A newly produced biomaterial is necessarily subject of standards, which are performed in vivo on animal models. For the evaluation of soft tissue regenerative possibilities after subcutaneous implantation of biomaterials – silver/poly(vinyl alcohol) (Ag/PVA) and novel silver/poly(vinyl alcohol)/graphene (Ag/PVA/Gr) provided for clinical use, sixteen rats were used, according to the instructions of international standards, ISO 10993-6, 2007. Histological sections were observed 7, 15, 30 and 60 days after grafting. These hydrogels were produced by in situ electrochemical synthesis of silver nanoparticles in the polymer matrices, which enabled obtaining completely safe and biocompatible materials, free from any additional toxic chemical reducing agents. Surgical implantation of hydrogels was done according to the permission of the Ethical Committee of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Belgrade. Immunohistochemical (IHC) studies included the assessment of smooth muscle expression actin in blood vessels (α-SMA), the expression of laminin and type I and type III collagen in the skin structures, and, the determination of cell proliferation marker expression (Ki-67) keratinocytes. The results were assessed in a semiquantitative manner. The data were analyzed in the statistical software package IBM SPSS 20. The conclusions indicated that Ag/PVA/Gr might be used as wound dressings to enhance the tissue healing potential and established faster integration and shorter retention in the tissue.

Abstract
Photothermal treatment (PTT) is a promising strategy to deal with multidrug-resistant bacteria infection and promote tissue regeneration. Previous studies demonstrated that hyperthermia can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria, whereas mild heat can promote cell proliferation, further accelerating wound healing and bone regeneration. Especially, hydrogels with photothermal properties could achieve remotely controlled drug release. In this review, we introduce a photothermal agent hybrid in hydrogels for a photothermal effect. We also summarize the potential mechanisms of photothermal hydrogels regarding antibacterial action, angiogenesis, and osteogenesis. Furthermore, recent developments in photothermal hydrogels in wound healing and bone regeneration applications are introduced. Finally, future application of photothermal hydrogels is discussed. Hydrogels with photothermal effects provide a new direction for wound healing and bone regeneration, and this review will give a reference for the tissue engineering.
