Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by high level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and proinflammatory cytokines, which facilitate the activation of the inflammatory signaling such as NF-κB pathway and exacerbate the development of inflammation. Herein, we designed a nanodrug by encapsulating the NO donor S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) into an emulsion and coating the surface with a polydopamine (PDA) layer to yield GSNO@PDA, which simultaneously scavenged the extra ROS and suppressed NF-κB signaling for potent RA treatment. To enhance the cellular uptake and NO generation efficiency, dextran sulfate (DS) and Cu2+ were anchored on the surface of GSNO@PDA to obtain the final formulation GSNO@PDA@DS. Our results demonstrated that GSNO@PDA@DS were successfully prepared and the modification of DS effectively boosted the cellular uptake of GSNO@PDA@DS. Moreover, GSNO@PDA@DS lowered cellular ROS and elevated intracellular NO, resulting in a decrease of M1 phenotype, inhibition of NF-κB pathway and down-regulation of proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Further in vivo studies confirmed that GSNO@PDA@DS significantly relieved symptoms and bone erosion by regulating the microenvironment of RA, highlighting the potential of GSNO@PDA@DS for RA therapy through ROS scavenging and NO-mediated suppression of inflammatory signaling.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO)-release from polymer metal composites is achieved through the incorporation of NO donors such as S-nitrosothiols (RSNO). Several studies have shown that metal nanoparticles catalytically decompose RSNO to release NO. In polymer composites, the NO surface flux from the surface can be modulated by the application of metal nanoparticles with a varying degree of catalytic activity. In this study, we compare the NO-releasing polymer composite design strategy - demonstrating how different ways of incorporating RSNO and metal nanoparticles can affect NO flux, donor leaching, or biological activity of the films. The first approach included blending both the RSNO and metal nanoparticle in the matrix (non-layered), while the second approach involved dip-coating metal nanoparticle/polymer layer on the RSNO-containing polymer composite (layered). Secondly, we compare both designs with respect to metal nanoparticles, including iron (Fe), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn), and silver (Ag). Differential NO surface flux is observed for each metal nanoparticle, with the Cu-containing polymer composites showing the highest flux for layered composites, whereas Fe demonstrated the highest NO flux for non-layered composites in 24 h. Additionally, a comparative study on NO flux modulation via the choice of metal nanoparticles is shown. Furthermore, mouse fibroblast cell viability when exposed to leachates from the polymer metal composites was dependent on (1) the design of the polymer composite where the layered approach performed better than non-layered composites (2) diffusion of metal nanoparticles from the composites plays a key role. Antibacterial activity on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was also dependent on individual metal nanoparticles and flux levels in a 24 h in vitro CDC bioreactor study. Therefore, the study establishes the need for a layered polymer metal composite strategy that synergizes NO flux without negatively affecting biocompatibility.

Abstract
When blood first encounters the artificial surface of a medical device, a complex series of biochemical reactions is triggered, potentially resulting in clinical complications such as embolism/occlusion, inflammation, or device failure. Preventing thrombus formation on the surface of blood-contacting devices is crucial for maintaining device functionality and patient safety. As the number of patients reliant on blood-contacting devices continues to grow, minimizing the risk associated with these devices is vital towards lowering healthcare-associated morbidity and mortality. The current standard clinical practice primarily requires the systemic administration of anticoagulants such as heparin, which can result in serious complications such as post-operative bleeding and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). Due to these complications, the administration of antithrombotic agents remains one of the leading causes of clinical drug-related deaths. To reduce the side effects spurred by systemic anticoagulation, researchers have been inspired by the hemocompatibility exhibited by natural phenomena, and thus have begun developing medical-grade surfaces which aim to exhibit total hemocompatibility via biomimicry. This review paper aims to address different bio-inspired surface modifications that increase hemocompatibility, discuss the limitations of each method, and explore the future direction for hemocompatible surface research.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-based drug delivery has become one of the most popular approaches for maximising drug therapeutic potentials. With the notable improvements, a greater challenge hinges on the formulation of gasotransmitters with unique challenges that are not met in liquid and solid active ingredients. Gas molecules upon release from formulations for therapeutic purposes have not really been discussed extensively. Herein, we take a critical look at four key gasotransmitters, that is, carbon monoxide (CO), nitric oxide (NO), hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and sulphur dioxide (SO2), their possible modification into prodrugs known as gas-releasing molecules (GRMs), and their release from GRMs. Different nanosystems and their mediatory roles for efficient shuttling, targeting and release of these therapeutic gases are also reviewed extensively. This review thoroughly looks at the diverse ways in which these GRM prodrugs in delivery nanosystems are designed to respond to intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli for sustained release. In this review, we seek to provide a succinct summary for the development of therapeutic gases into potent prodrugs that can be adapted in nanomedicine for potential clinical use.

Abstract
We studied the effect of nitric oxide (NO) on the functioning of P-glycoprotein transporter (Pgp) in Caco-2 cells. NO donor S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) was used in concentrations of 1, 10, 50, 100, and 500 μM; the duration of exposure was 24 h. The content of Pgp was analyzed by the Western blotting, activity of the transport protein was analyzed by the transport of its substrate fexofenadine. It was shown that GSNO in concentrations of 10 and 50 μM increased the content and activity of Pgp. Increasing the GSNO concentration to 500 μM led to the development of nitrosative stress and a decrease in the content and activity of the transporter protein.

Abstract
Serious lung diseases and other health problems caused by tobacco consumption are becoming more and more prominent all over the world. Scavenging the excessive harmful free radicals in cigarette smoke is proven to be an effective method in reducing the above problems. Carbon-based nanozymes have been widely studied due to their ability of scavenging free radicals. Accordingly, the biochar derived from silkworm excrement was reported as a nanozyme with free radical scavenging ability. The biochar nanozyme calcination at 900 °C with better free radical scavenging abilities was loaded into commercial cigarette filters for the following free radical scavenging verification in tobacco smoke. Mouse model results reveal the lung tissue could be improved by the addition of biochar nanozyme. This work not only provides an effective approach to reduce the harm caused by tobacco but also provides potential applications to rationally realize low-cost, ease of production, and a wide variety of biochar sources.

Abstract
Ceria nanoparticles (NPs) are widely reported to scavenge nitric oxide (NO) radicals. This study reveals evidence that an opposite effect of ceria NPs exists, that is, to induce NO generation. Herein, S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), one of the most biologically abundant NO donors, is catalytically decomposed by ceria NPs to produce NO. Ceria NPs maintain a high NO release recovery rate and retain their crystalline structure for at least 4 weeks. Importantly, the mechanism of this newly discovered NO generation capability of ceria NPs from GSNO is deciphered to be attributed to the oxidation of Ce3+ to Ce4+ on their surface, which is supported by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory analysis. The prospective therapeutic effect of NO-generating ceria NPs is evaluated by the suppression of cancer cells, displaying a significant reduction of 93% in cell viability. Overall, this report is, to the authors' knowledge, the first study to identify the capability of ceria NPs to induce NO generation from GSNO, which overturns the conventional concept of them acting solely as a NO-scavenging agent. This study will deepen our knowledge about the therapeutic effects of ceria NPs and open a new route toward the NO-generating systems for biomedical applications.

Abstract
It has been previously demonstrated that metal nanoparticles embedded into polymeric materials doped with nitric oxide (NO) donor compounds can accelerate the release rate of NO for therapeutic applications. Despite the advantages of elevated NO surface flux for eradicating opportunistic bacteria in the initial hours of application, metal nanoparticles can often trigger a secondary biocidal effect through leaching that can lead to unfavorable cytotoxic responses from host cells. Alternatively, copper-based metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have been shown to stabilize Cu2+/1+ via coordination while demonstrating longer-term catalytic performance compared to their salt counterparts. Herein, the practical application of MOFs in NO-releasing polymeric substrates with an embedded NO donor compound was investigated for the first time. By developing composite thermoplastic silicon polycarbonate polyurethane (TSPCU) scaffolds, the catalytic effects achievable via intrapolymeric interactions between an MOF and NO donor compound were investigated using the water-stable copper-based MOF H3[(Cu4Cl)3(BTTri)8-(H2O)12]·72H2O (CuBTTri) and the NO donor S-nitroso-N-acetyl-penicillamine (SNAP). By creating a multifunctional triple-layered composite scaffold with CuBTTri and SNAP, the surface flux of NO from catalyzed SNAP decomposition was found tunable based on the variable weight percent CuBTTri incorporation. The tunable NO surface fluxes were found to elicit different cytotoxic responses in human cell lines, enabling application-specific tailoring. Challenging the TSPCU-NO-MOF composites against 24 h bacterial growth models, the enhanced NO release was found to elicit over 99% reduction in adhered and over 95% reduction in planktonic methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, with similar results observed for Escherichia coli. These results indicate that the combination of embedded MOFs and NO donors can be used as a highly efficacious tool for the early prevention of biofilm formation on medical devices.

Abstract
S-Nitrosothiols act as a comparatively long-lived reservoir of releasable nitric oxide (NO) present in vivo in a variety of body fluids. Soluble constituents of air-borne particulate matter (PM) can affect S-nitrosothiol stability and deregulate NO-based biological signaling. PM aqueous extracts of standard urban dust (SRM 1648a) were prepared, and their effect on human serum S-nitrosoalbumin (HSA-NO) stability was studied. The results indicated that PM extracts induced a release of NO from HSA-NO in a dose-dependent manner. To identify the inorganic components of urban PM responsible for HSA-NO decomposition, the effects of individual metal ions and metal ion mixtures, detected in the SRM 1648a aqueous extract, were examined. The dominant role of copper ions (specifically Cu+) was confirmed, but the results did not exclude the influence of other water-soluble PM components. Measurements with the application of several common metal ion chelators confirmed that Cu2+ may participate in NO release from HSA-NO and that reduction to monovalent Cu+ (responsible for S-NO bond breaking) may occur with the participation of S-nitrosoalbumin. The addition of ascorbic acid (AscA) significantly enhanced the effectiveness of NO release by PM extracts both kinetically and quantitatively, by inducing an increase in the reduction of Cu2+ to Cu+. These results indicate that AscA present in the respiratory tract lining fluids and plasma may amplify the activity of inorganic components of PM in S-nitrosothiol decomposition.

Abstract
Chronic wounds, such as pressure ulcers, vascular ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), often stay in a state of pathological inflammation and suffer from persistent infection, excess inflammation, and hypoxia, thus they are difficult to be healed. Nitric oxide (NO) plays a critical role in the regulation of various wound healing processes, including inflammatory response, cell proliferation, collagen formation, antimicrobial action and angiogenesis. The important role of NO in wound healing attracts intensive research focus on NO-based wound healing therapy. However, the application of NO gas therapy needs to resolve the intrinsic shortcomings of gas therapy, such as short storage and release times as well as temporal and spatial uncontrollability of the release mode. So far, various types of NO donors, including organic nitrates (RONO2), nitrites (RONO), S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs), nitrosamines, N-diazeniumdiolates (NONOates), and metal-NO complexes, have been developed to solidify gaseous NO and they were further encapsulated in or conjugated onto a variety of biomaterial vectors to develop NO delivery systems. NO synthetic enzyme mimics to catalyze the production and release of NO from l-arginine have also been developed. This paper reviews recent advances of NO donors, biomaterial vectors, thus-formed NO delivery systems, as well as recently emerged NO synthetic enzyme mimics. Furthermore, this review also summarizes the functions of NO releasing biomaterials that would benefit chronic wound healing, including antibacterial properties and the promotion of angiogenesis, as well as the convenient combination of light/thermal induced NO release with light/thermal therapies, and the prospects for future developing trends in this area.

Abstract
Zinc (Zn) has emerged as a promising bioresorbable stent material due to its satisfactory corrosion behavior and excellent biocompatibility. However, for load bearing implant applications, alloying is required to boost its mechanical properties as pure Zn exhibits poor strength. Unfortunately, an increase in inflammation relative to pure Zn is a commonly observed side-effect of Zn alloys. Consequently, the development of a Zn-based alloy that can simultaneously feature improved mechanical properties and suppress inflammatory responses is a big challenge. Here, a bioresorbable, biocompatible Zn-Ag-based quinary alloy was comprehensively evaluated in vivo, in comparison to reference materials. The inflammatory and smooth muscle cellular response was characterized and correlated to metrics of neointimal growth. We found that implantation of the quinary alloy was associated with significantly improved inflammatory activities relative to the reference materials. Additionally, we found that inflammation, but not smooth muscle cell hyperplasia, significantly correlates to neointimal growth for Zn alloys. The results suggest that inflammation is the main driver of neointimal growth for Zn-based alloys and that the quinary Zn-Ag-Mn-Zr-Cu alloy may impart inflammation-resistance properties to arterial implants.

Abstract
The highly diverse biological roles of nitric oxide (NO) in both physiological and pathophysiological processes have prompted great interest in the use of NO as a therapeutic agent in various biomedical applications. NO can exert either protective or deleterious effects depending on its concentration and the location where it is delivered or generated. This double-edged attribute, together with the short half-life of NO in biological systems, poses a major challenge to the realization of the full therapeutic potential of this molecule. Controlled release strategies show an admirable degree of precision with regard to the spatiotemporal dosing of NO but are disadvantaged by the finite NO deliverable payload. In turn, enzyme-prodrug therapy techniques afford enhanced deliverable payload but are troubled by the inherent low stability of natural enzymes, as well as the requirement to control pharmacokinetics for the exogenous prodrugs. The past decade has seen the advent of a new paradigm in controlled delivery of NO, namely localized bioconversion of the endogenous prodrugs of NO, specifically by enzyme mimics. These early developments are presented, successes of this strategy are highlighted, and possible future work on this avenue of research is critically discussed.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a potent biological molecule that contributes to a wide spectrum of physiological processes. However, the full potential of NO as a therapeutic agent is significantly complicated by its short half-life and limited diffusion distance in human tissues. Current strategies for NO delivery focus on encapsulation of NO donors into prefabricated scaffolds or an enzyme-prodrug therapy approach. The former is limited by the finite pool of NO donors available, while the latter is challenged by the inherent low stability of natural enzymes. Zinc oxide (ZnO) particles with innate glutathione peroxidase and glycosidase activities, a combination that allows to catalytically decompose both endogenous (S-nitrosoglutathione) and exogenous (β-gal-NONOate) donors to generate NO at physiological conditions are reported. By tuning the concentration of ZnO particles and NO prodrugs, physiologically relevant NO levels are achieved. ZnO preserves its catalytic property for at least 6 months and the activity of ZnO in generating NO from prodrugs in human serum is demonstrated. The ZnO catalytic activity will be beneficial toward generating stable NO release for long-term biomedical applications.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is related to a wide range of physiological processes such as vasodilation, macrophages cytotoxicity and wound healing. The human skin contains NO precursors (NOx). Those are mainly composed of nitrite (NO2-), nitrate (NO3-), and S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs) which forms a large NO store. These NOx stores in human skin can mobilize NO to blood stream upon ultraviolet (UV) light exposure. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the most effective UV light wavelength to generate NO and compare it to each NO precursor in aqueous solution. In addition, the UV light might change the RSNO content on human skin. First, we irradiated pure aqueous solutions of NO2- and NO3- and mixtures of NO2- and glutathione and NO3- and S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) to identify the NO release profile from those species alone. In sequence, we evaluated the NO generation profile on human skin slices. Human skin was acquired from redundant plastic surgical samples and the NO and RSNO measurements were performed using a selective NO electrochemical sensor. The data showed that UV light could trigger the NO generation in skin with a peak at 280-285 nm (UVB range). We also observed a significant RSNO formation in irradiated human skin, with a peak at 320 nm (UV region) and at 700 nm (visible region). Pre-treatment of the human skin slice using NO2- and thiol (RSHs) scavengers confirmed the important role of these molecules in RSNO formation. These findings have important implications for clinical trials with potential for new therapies.
