Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study aims to create Calendula officinalis-loaded nanofibre-based wound dressing materials to enhance the wound healing process. Calendula officinalis is an annual herb native to the Mediterranean region. It is antipyretic, antifungal, antioedema, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory (wound, oral and pharyngeal mucosa), antispasmodic, treats chronic ocular surface diseases, acts as a stimulant and a diaphoretic. It is also used in the prevention of acute dermatitis, and in the treatment of gastrointestinal ulcers, wounds and burns. METHOD Electrospinning is an effective method for creating nano- and microfibres for biomedical applications. Calendula officinalis (CA) of various concentrations 5%, 10% and 15%)-loaded polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/sodium alginate (SAlg) nanofibre mats were successfully produced via blend electrospinning. Nanofibre mats were evaluated using: scanning electron microscopy (SEM); Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis; gel content; water vapour transmission rate (WVTR); swelling ratio; in vitro drug release studies; viability evaluation (cell culture and MTT assay); and an in vivo study using male Wistar rats. Rats were divided into three groups (n=3). In each group, rats were inflicted with five full-thickness wounds on the back and were treated with sterile gauze (control), PVA/SAlg nanofibre dressing (CA-free control), PVA/SAlg/CA5%, PVA/SAlg/CA10%, and PVA/SAlg/CA15% nanofibre dressing. RESULTS Results showed that the obtained fibres were smooth with no surface aggregates, indicating complete incorporation of Calendula officinalis. The release of Calendula officinalis from loaded PVA/SAlg fibre mats in the first four hours was burst released and then was constant. PVA/SAlg and PVA/SAlg/CA nanofibres were not toxic to L929 mouse fibroblasts and supported cell attachment and proliferation. The results of the in vivo study showed that the PVA/SAlg/CA10% nanofibre dressing had a higher full-thickness wound healing closure rate compared with the control group on days seven, 14 and 21 after treatment. CONCLUSION The results of this evaluation showed that PVA/SAlg/CA nanofibrous mats could be a candidate as an effective wound dressing; however, the percentage of CA in this compound needs further investigation.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic is expanding worldwide. This pandemic associated with COVID-19 placed the spotlight on how bacterial (e.g., methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) co-infections may impact responses to coronavirus. In this review the ways in which nanoparticles can contain and rapidly diagnose COVID-19 under the umbrella of nanotheranostics (i.e., smart, single agents combining nanodiagnostics and nanotherapeutics) are elaborated. The present work provides new insights into the promising incorporation of antiviral nanotheranostics into nanostructured materials, including electrospun fibers with tailored pore sizes and hydrophobicity, namely "superhydrophobic self-disinfecting electrospun facemasks/fabrics (SSEF)." SSEFs are proposed as smart alternatives to address the drawbacks of N95 respirators. The challenges of coronavirus containment are underscored, literature is reviewed, and "top-five suggestions" for containing COVID-19 are offered, including: i) preventive appraisals-avoiding needless hospital admission and practicing frequent hand washing (from 20 to 60 s). ii) Diagnostics-highly recommending nanodiagnostics, detecting COVID-19 within 10 min. iii) Therapeutics-expanding nanotherapeutics to treat COVID-19 and bacterial co-infections after safety assessments and clinical trials. iv) Multipronged and multinational, including China, collaborative appraisals. v) Humanitarian compassion to traverse this pandemic in a united way.

Abstract
Novel eco-friendly fibrous materials with complex activities from cellulose acetate and cellulose acetate/polyethylene glycol (CA,PEG) containing 5-chloro-8-hydroxyquinoline as a model drug were obtained by electrospinning. Several methods, including scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, water contact angle measurements, and mechanical tests, were utilized to characterize the obtained materials. The incorporation of PEG into the fibers facilitated the drug release. The amounts of the released drug from CA/5-Cl8Q and CA,PEG/5-Cl8Q were 78 ± 3.38% and 86 ± 3.02%, respectively (for 175 min). The antibacterial and antifungal activities of the obtained materials were studied. The measured zones of inhibition of CA/5-Cl8Q and CA,PEG/5-Cl8Q mats were 4.0 ± 0.18 and 4.5 ± 0.2 cm against S. aureus and around 4.0 ± 0.15 and 4.1 ± 0.22 cm against E. coli, respectively. The complete inhibition of the C. albicans growth was detected. The cytotoxicity of the obtained mats was tested toward HeLa cancer cells, SH-4 melanoma skin cells, and mouse BALB/c 3T3 fibroblasts as well. The CA/5-Cl8Q and CA,PEG/5-Cl8Q materials exhibited anticancer activity and low normal cell toxicity. Thus, the obtained fibrous materials can be suitable candidates for wound dressing applications and for application in local cancer treatment.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is a notorious pathogen that colonizes implants (orthopedic and breast implants) and wounds with a vicious resistance to antibiotic therapy. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is a catastrophe mainly restricted to hospitals and emerged to community reservoirs, acquiring resistance and forming biofilms. Treating biofilms is problematic except via implant removal or wound debridement. Nanoparticles (NPs) and nanofibers could combat superbugs and biofilms and rapidly diagnose MRSA. Nanotheranostics combine diagnostics and therapeutics into a single agent. This comprehensive review is interpretative, utilizing mainly recent literature (since 2016) besides the older remarkable studies sourced via Google Scholar and PubMed. We unravel the molecular S. aureus resistance and complex biofilm. The diagnostic properties and detailed antibacterial and antibiofilm NP mechanisms are elucidated in exciting stories. We highlight the challenges of bacterial infections nanotheranostics. Finally, we discuss the literature and provide "three action appraisals". (i) The first appraisal consists of preventive actions (two wings), avoiding unnecessary hospital visits, hand hygiene, and legislations against over-the-counter antibiotics as the general preventive wing. Our second recommended preventive wing includes preventing the adverse side effects of the NPs from resistance and toxicity by establishing standard testing procedures. These standard procedures should provide breakpoints of bacteria's susceptibility to NPs and a thorough toxicological examination of every single batch of synthesized NPs. (ii) The second appraisal includes theranostic actions, using nanotheranostics to diagnose and treat MRSA, such as what we call "multifunctional theranostic nanofibers. (iii) The third action appraisal consists of collaborative actions.

Abstract
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs, C-dots, or CDs), are generally small carbon nanoparticles having a size less than 10nm. Carbon dots (CDs) were accidentally discovered during the purification of single-walled carbon nanotubes through preparative electrophoresis in 2004. Carbon is an organic material having poor water solubility that emits less fluorescence. However, CDs have good aqueous solubility and excellent fluorescent property, hence more attention has been given to the synthesis of CDs and their applications in chemistry and allied sciences. CDs being easily accessible for in-house synthesis, simpler fabrication as per compendial requirements are wisely accepted. In addition, since CDs are biocompatible, of low toxicity, and of biodegradable nature, they appear as a promising tool for the health care sector. Furthermore, owing to their capabilities of expressing significant interaction with biological materials, and their excellent photoluminescence (PL), CDs have been emerging as novel pioneered nanoparticles useful for pharmaceutical and theranostic applications. Also, CDs are more eco-friendly in synthesis and therefore can be favorably consumed as alternatives in the further development of biological, environmental, and food areas. A massive study has been performed dealing with different approaches which are adopted for CDs synthesis and their applications as, filters for the separation of pollutants from polluted water, food safety, toxicological studies, and optical properties, etc. While still less emphasis is given on the applications of CDs in pharmaceuticals like for sustained and targeted drug delivery systems, theranostic study, etc. Hence, in the present review, we are exploring CQDs as a boon to pharmaceutical concerns.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Scientists are constantly looking for the introduction of unique drug delivery systems for the existing drug molecule. Since the skin is one of the primary and essential organs of the human body, it needs successful research development for the delivery of the drug. While the skin is assumed a human body’s multifunctional organ, it has minimal permeability across the stratum corneum (SC). Since this is an influential barrier for the active agent, several carrier platforms to surmount this obstacle have been created. Invasomes are the liposomal vesicles, which incorporate small quantities of ethanol and terpenes or a mixture of terpenes, as potentials for improved penetration of the skin. The rate of penetration of invasomes through the skin is significantly greater than that of liposomes and ethosomes. Invasomes focus on providing a series of benefits namely enhanced drug effectiveness, increased conformity, and ease for patients.
Main body
The present article portrays insights of invasomes which include composition and preparation methods of invasomes. The article gives a brief review of the penetration mechanism, synthesis process, and characterizations of invasomes. The article gives a point by point audit about pharmaceutical applications, viz. anticancer, antihypertensive, anti-acne, vitamin analog, anticholinergic, antioxidant, etc. The pharmacokinetic properties of invasomes have also been described.
Conclusion
The key goal of an invasome-based delivery system is not only to strengthen the efficacy and safety of the drug but also to dramatically increase patient conformity and the therapeutic value to a significant extent. The delivery of drugs via the skin membrane in advanced drug delivery systems is a fascinating fact. Many pharmaceutical studies have shown that plentiful drug molecules are less soluble, have less bioavailability and stability, have less penetration, etc. Therefore, a new form of dosage with exceptional characteristics like invasomes can be created.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The treatment performances of current surgical therapeutic materials for injuries caused by high-energy trauma, such as prolonged bone defects, nerve-fiber disruptions, and repeated spasms or adhesions of vascular tendons after repair, are poor. Drug-loaded electrospun fibers have become a novel polymeric material for treating orthopedic diseases owing to their three-dimensional structures, thus providing excellent controlled drug-release responses and high affinity with local tissues. Herein, we reviewed the morphology of electrospun nanofibers, methods for loading drugs on the fibers, and modification methods to improve drug permeability and bioavailability. We highlight innovative applications of drug-loaded electrospun fibers in different treatments, including bone and cartilage defects, tendon and soft-tissue adhesion, vascular remodeling, skin grafting, and nervous-system injuries. AREAS COVERED With the rapid development of electrospinning technologies and advancement of tissue engineering, drug-loaded electrospun fibers are becoming increasingly important in controlled drug release, wound closure, and tissue regeneration and repair. EXPERT OPINION Drug-loaded electrospun fibers exhibit a broad range of application prospects and great potential in treating orthopedic diseases. Accordingly, a plethora of novel treatments utilizing the different morphological features of electrospun fibers, the distinctive pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics characteristics of different drugs, and the diverse onset characteristics of different diseases, is proposed.
