Abstract
O-carboxymethyl chitosan (CM-chitosan), holds high potential as a valuable biomaterial for nerve guidance conduits (NGCs). However, the lack of explicit bioactivity on neurocytes and poor duration that does not match nerve repair limit the restorative effects. Herein, CM-chitosan-based NGC is designed to induce the reconstruction of damaged peripheral nerves without addition of other activation factors. CM-chitosan possesses excellent performance in vitro for nerve tissue engineering, such as increasing the organization of filamentous actin and the expression of phospho-Akt, and facilitating the cell cycle and migration of Schwann cells. Moreover, CM-chitosan exhibits increased longevity upon cross-linking (C-CM-chitosan) with 1, 4-Butanediol diglycidyl ether, and C-CM-chitosan fibers possess appropriate biocompatibility. In order to imitate the structure of peripheral nerves, multichannel bioactive NGCs are prepared from lumen fillers of oriented C-CM-chitosan fibers and outer warp-knitted chitosan pipeline. Implantation of the C-CM-chitosan NGCs to rats with 10-mm defects of peripheral nerves effectively improve nerve function reconstruction by increasing the sciatic functional index, decreasing the latent periods of heat tingling, enhancing the gastrocnemius muscle, and promoting nerve axon recovery, showing regenerative efficacy similar to that of autograft. The results lay a theoretical foundation for improving the potential high-value applications of CM-chitosan-based bioactive materials in nerve tissue engineering.

Abstract
A significant portion of the protein in food waste will contaminate the water. The chitosan/modified β-cyclodextrin (CS/β-CDP) composite membranes were prepared for the adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in this work to solve the problem of poor adsorption protein performance and easy disintegration by a pure chitosan membrane. A thorough investigation was conducted into the effects of the preparation conditions (the mass ratio of CS and β-CDP, preparation temperature, and glutaraldehyde addition) and adsorption conditions (temperature and pH) on the created CS/β-CDP composite membrane. The physical and chemical properties of pure CS membrane and CS/β-CDP composite membrane were investigated. The results showed that CS/β-CDP composite membrane has better tensile strength, elongation at break, Young's modulus, contact angle properties, and lower swelling degree. The physicochemical and morphological attributes of composite membranes before and after the adsorption of BSA were characterized by SEM, FT-IR, and XRD. The results showed that the CS/β-CDP composite membrane adsorbed BSA by both physical and chemical mechanisms, and the adsorption isotherm, kinetics, and thermodynamic experiments further confirmed its adsorption mechanism. As a result, the CS/β-CDP composite membrane of absorbing BSA was successfully fabricated, demonstrating the potential application prospect in environmental protection.

Preparation, Characterization, and Biological Evaluation of Transparent Thin Carboxymethyl-Chitosan/Oxidized Carboxymethyl Cellulose Films as New Wound Dressings. Macromol Biosci 2021; 22:e2100308.

Abstract
Full thickness burns in which the damage penetrates deep into the skin layers and reaches underneath the muscle, compel the need for more effective cure. Herein, cross-linked carboxymethyl-chitosan (CM-chitosan) films, prepared by Schiff base association with oxidized carboxymethyl cellulose (OCMC), are investigated regarding the wound healing capacity on full thickness burn injuries in vivo. Transparent thin CM-chitosan/OCMC films are obtained with tensile strength reaching 6.11 MPa, elongation at break above 27%, and water absorption more than 800%, which operates in favor of absorbing excess exudate and monitoring the wound status. Furthermore, the nonadherent CM-chitosan/OCMC films, with satisfactory biodegradability, cell, and tissue compatibility, are readily used to the wound sites and easily removed following therapy on scalded tissue so as to alleviate the suffering from burn. The films efficiently promote epithelial and dermal regeneration compared to the control, achieving 75.9% and 94.4% wound closure, respectively, after 14 and 27 days. More importantly, CM-chitosan/OCMC films accelerate wound healing with natural mechanisms which include controlling inflammatory response, reducing apoptosis, promoting fibroblast cell proliferation, and collagen formation. In conclusion, the CM-chitosan/OCMC films elevate the repair ratio of burn injuries and have great potential for facilitating the healing process on full-thickness exuding wounds.
