Propelling Multi-Modal Therapeutics of PEEK Implants through the Power of NO evolving Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs). SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2306508.

Abstract
The design and fabrication of NO-evolving core-shell nanoparticles (denoted as NC@Fe), comprised of BNN6-laden COF@Fe3 O4 nanoparticles, are reported. This innovation extends to the modification of 3D printed polyetheretherketone scaffolds with NC@Fe, establishing a pioneering approach to multi-modal bone therapy tailored to address complications such as device-associated infections and osteomyelitis. This work stands out prominently from previous research, particularly those relying on the use of antibiotics, by introducing a bone implant capable of simultaneous NO gas therapy and photothermal therapy (PPT). Under NIR laser irradiation, the Fe3 O4 NP core (photothermal conversion agent) within NC@Fe absorbs photoenergy and initiates electron transfer to the loaded NO donor (BNN6), resulting in controlled NO release. The additional heat generated through photothermal conversion further propels the NC@Fe nanoparticles, amplifying the therapeutic reach. The combined effect of NO release and PPT enhances the efficacy in eradicating bacteria over a more extensive area around the implant, presenting a distinctive solution to conventional challenges. Thorough in vitro and in vivo investigations validate the robust potential of the scaffold in infection control, osteogenesis, and angiogenesis, emphasizing the timeliness of this unique solution in managing complicated bone related infectious diseases.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:8506.

Abstract
Due to their excellent physical properties, graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) are widely used in various fields, especially biomedicine. However, due to the short study period, their biosafety and potential genotoxicity to human and animal cells are not well elucidated. In this study, the adsorption of GOQDs with different concentrations and oxidation degrees on DNA was investigated using a molecular dynamics simulation method. The toxicity to DNA depended on the interaction mechanism that GOQDs adsorbed on DNA fragments, especially in the minor groove of DNA. When the number of the adsorbed GOQDs in the minor groove of DNA is small, the GOQD inserts into the interior of the base pair. When there are more GOQDs in the minor groove of DNA, the base pairs at the adsorption sites of DNA unwind directly. This interaction way damaged the double helix structure of DNA seriously. We also compare the different functional groups of -1COOH. The results show that the interaction energy between 1COOH-GQD and DNA is stronger than that between 1OH-GQD and DNA. However, the damage to DNA is the opposite. These findings deepen our understanding of graphene nanotoxicity in general.

Abstract
Investigation of ZnO nanoparticles (nano-ZnO) and graphene quantum dots (GQDs) toxicology on dinoflagellate Gymnodinium helps to understand the effects of different surface characteristic nanoparticles on marine algae. The growth and biological responses of the algae exposed to 1, 10, 20 mg L-1 nano-ZnO and GQDs in f/2 media were explored. Nano-ZnO showed slight effects on algal cells growth, while the growth inhibition rates of Gymnodinium increased as GQDs concentration increasing. Both nanoparticle treatments induced accumulation of reactive oxygen species and activated intracellular antioxidant defensive system, including SOD and ATPase, which were related to the two nanoparticles concentration. Under combined exposure of nano-ZnO and GQDs, the inhibitory effects decreased compared to the single GQDs and showed antagonistic effect. The addition of nano-ZnO could decrease the toxicity of GQDs due to aggregation and sedimentation interaction between nanoparticles. The morphologic change of the cells observed by SEM proved that nanoparticles adsorbed onto the cell surfaces and caused the cell shrinkage.

Abstract
The increasing exploitation of graphene-based materials (GBMs) is driven by their unique properties and structures, which ignite the imagination of scientists and engineers. At the same time, the very properties that make them so useful for applications lead to growing concerns regarding their potential impacts on human health and the environment. Since GBMs are inert to reaction, various attempts of surface functionalization are made to make them reactive. Herein, surface functionalization of GBMs, including those intentionally designed for specific applications, as well as those unintentionally acquired (e.g., protein corona formation) from the environment and biota, are reviewed through the lenses of nanotoxicity and design of safe materials (safe-by-design). Uptake and toxicity of functionalized GBMs and the underlying mechanisms are discussed and linked with the surface functionalization. Computational tools that can predict the interaction of GBMs behavior with their toxicity are discussed. A concise framing of current knowledge and key features of GBMs to be controlled for safe and sustainable applications are provided for the community.

Abstract
A novel carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-supported graphene oxide aerogel (CGOA) was fabricated from a cost-effective and abundant bituminous coal by a mild hydrothermal process and freeze-drying treatment. Such an aerogel has cross-linked graphene oxide layers supported by CMC, and therefore, displays high mechanical strength while having ultra-low density (8.257 mg·cm-3). The CGOA has a 3D interconnected porous structure, beneficial graphene framework defects and abundant oxygen-containing functional groups, which offer favorable diffusion channels and effective adsorption sites for the transport and adsorption of dye molecules. The adsorption performance of rhodamine B by an optimized CGOA shows a maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of 312.50 mg·g-1, as determined by Langmuir isotherm parameters. This CGOA exhibited a better adsorption efficiency (99.99%) in alkaline solution, and satisfactory stability (90.60%) after three cycles. In addition, adsorption experiments on various dyes have revealed that CGOA have better adsorption capacities for cationic dyes than anionic dyes.

AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2017; 188:138-147. [PMID: 28521151 DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2017.04.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2016] [Revised: 04/18/2017] [Accepted: 04/27/2017] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
Recently, graphene materials have attracted tremendous research interest due to their unique physicochemical properties that hold great promise in electronics, energy, materials and biomedical areas. Graphene oxide (GO) is one of the most extensively studied graphene derivatives. In order to improve GO electrical properties, nanoplatelets are chemically reduced, thus increasing nanoplatelet conductivity. This reduced GO (rGO) shows different properties and behavior compared to GO. Graphene-based wastes are expected to end up in the marine environment. Here we aimed to assess the potential toxic effects of GO and rGO to marine organisms by using in vitro assays with mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) hemocytes. Cells were exposed to a wide range of concentrations (up to 100mg/L) of GO (with and without polyvinylpyrrolidone-PVP as stabilizing agent: GO and GO-PVP) and rGO with PVP (rGO-PVP) to assess cytotoxicity and cell membrane integrity. Then, cells were exposed to sublethal concentrations of GO and rGO-PVP to assess their subcellular distribution through transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and to evaluate their effects on ROS production. GO, GO-PVP and rGO-PVP showed low and concentration-dependent cytotoxicity. rGO-PVP (LC50=29.902 and 33.94mg/L depending on the origin) was more toxic than GO (LC50=49.84 and 54.51mg/L depending on the origin) and GO-PVP (LC50=43.72mg/L). PVP was not toxic to hemocytes but increased bioavailability and toxicity of nanoplatelets. At TEM, GO and rGO-PVP nanoplatelets caused invaginations and perforations of the plasma membrane, which agrees with the observed decrease in cell membrane integrity. Nanoplatelets were internalized, at a higher extent for rGO-PVP than for GO, and found in the cytosol and in endolysosomal vesicles of hemocytes. Both GO and rGO-PVP increased ROS production at the highest sublethal concentration tested. In conclusion, GO, GO-PVP and rGO-PVP are not highly toxic to mussel cells but they cause membrane damage and their toxicity is ROS-mediated. Finally, in vitro assays with mussel hemocytes are sensitive tools to detect toxic effects of graphene-based nanomaterials.
