Abstract
Because free therapeutic drug molecules often have adverse effects on normal tissues, deliver scanty drug concentrations and exhibit a potentially low efficacy at pathological sites, various drug carriers have been developed for preclinical and clinical trials. Their physicochemical and toxicological properties are the subject of extensive research. Inorganic calcium carbonate particles are promising candidates as drug delivery carriers owning to their hardness, porous internal structure, high surface area, distinctive pH-sensitivity, low degradability, etc, while soft organic alginate hydrogels are also widely used because of their special advantages such as a high hydration, bio-adhesiveness, and non-antigenicity. Here, we review these two distinct substances as well as hybrid structures encompassing both types of carriers. Methods of their synthesis, fundamental properties and mechanisms of formation, and their respective applications are described. Furthermore, we summarize and compare similarities versus differences taking into account unique advantages and disadvantages of these drug delivery carriers. Moreover, rational combination of both carrier types due to their performance complementarity (yin-&yang properties: in general, yin is referred to for definiteness as hard, and yang is broadly taken as soft) is proposed to be used in the so-called hybrid carriers endowing them with even more advanced properties envisioned to be attractive for designing new drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Hydrogel-based wound dressings provided a moist microenvironment and local release of bioactive molecules. Single drug loading along with fast release rates and usually in hydrogel sheets limited their performance. Hence, uniform alginate/CaCO3 composite microparticles (∼430 μm) with tunable compositions for sustainable release of drug and pH-sensitivity were successfully fabricated using microfluidic technology. Due to the presence of CaCO3 and the strong interactions with alginate molecules, lyophilized composite microparticles reverted to hydrogel state after rehydration. Regardless of microparticle states (hydrogel or lyophilized) and pH values (6.4 or 7.4), in vitro release rates of model drug were inversely related with CaCO3 concentrations and much lower than that for pure alginate microparticles. The release rate at pH 6.4 (simulating wound microenvironment) was always slower than that at pH 7.4 for the same type of microparticles. Rifamycin and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) were independently encapsulated into AD-5-R and AD-40-F to achieve a fast release of rifamycin and a slower, more sustained release of bFGF, respectively; CD-F-R was a mixture of AD-5-R and AD-40-F at weight ratio 1/1. For AD-5-R and CD-F-R, inhibition zones of S. aureus were observed until day 5, showing a sustained antibacterial property. On the basis of in vitro wound healing model of NIH-3T3 cell micropattern on glass coverslips with a hole array, it was found that AD-40-F and CD-F-R significantly promoted cell proliferation and migration rates. In a full-thickness skin wound model of rats, CD-F-R microparticles significantly accelerated wound healing with higher granulation tissue thickness and better bioactivity to stimulate angiogenesis than the control group. Furthermore, CD-F-R microparticles demonstrated a good biocompatibility and biodegradability in vivo. Taken together, CD-F-R composite microparticles may ideally meet the requirements for different stages during wound healing and demonstrated a good potential to be used as dressing materials.

Abstract
Chitosan nanocomposites containing 2, 5, 8wt% of calcium carbonate-γ-aminopropyl triethoxy silane (CS/CC-ATS NCs) were prepared by ultrasonic irradiation. After characterizing of physicochemical properties of the obtained CS/CC-ATS NCs, their performance was evaluated for both the bone-like apatite mineralization and the removal of Cu(II). The field emission-scanning electron microscopy images from the in vitro bioactivity of the CS and the CS/CC-ATS NC 5wt% displayed that the hydroxyapatite was produced on the samples surface. However, the distribution of it on the surface of CS/CC-ATS NC 5wt% was better than the pure CS. The uptake of Cu(II) on the CS/CC-ATS NC 5wt% was studied under different adsorption conditions such as contact time, the initial concentration of metal ion and adsorbent amount. The results of isothermal adsorption of the pure CS and the CS/CC-ATS NC 5wt% were well fitted by Langmuir model for Cu(II) with adsorption capacity of 33.33 and 33.90mg·g-1, respectively. As a result, the CS/CC-ATS NC has great potencies in both the bone tissue engineering and the uptake of toxic metal from solution.
