Insect cuticle-inspired design of sustainably sourced composite bioplastics with enhanced strength, toughness and stretch-strengthening behavior. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 333:121970.

Abstract
Insect cuticles that are mainly made of chitin, chitosan and proteins provide insects with rigid, stretchable and robust skins to defend harsh external environment. The insect cuticle therefore provides inspiration for engineering biomaterials with outstanding mechanical properties but also sustainability and biocompatibility. We herein propose a design of high-performance and sustainable bioplastics via introducing CPAP3-A1, a major structural protein in insect cuticles, to specifically bind to chitosan. Simply mixing 10w/w% bioengineered CPAP3-A1 protein with chitosan enables the formation of plastics-like, sustainably sourced chitosan/CPAP3-A1 composites with significantly enhanced strength (∼90 MPa) and toughness (∼20 MJ m -3), outperforming previous chitosan-based composites and most synthetic petroleum-based plastics. Remarkably, these bioplastics exhibit a stretch-strengthening behavior similar to the training living muscles. Mechanistic investigation reveals that the introduction of CPAP3-A1 induce chitosan chains to assemble into a more coarsened fibrous network with increased crystallinity and reinforcement effect, but also enable energy dissipation via reversible chitosan-protein interactions. Further uniaxial stretch facilitates network re-orientation and increases chitosan crystallinity and mechanical anisotropy, thereby resulting in stretch-strengthening behavior. In general, this study provides an insect-cuticle inspired design of high-performance bioplastics that may serve as sustainable and bio-friendly materials for a wide range of engineering and biomedical application potentials.

Abstract
In this research, poly-chloropropylmethyl-silsesquioxanen was prepared and decorated with ZIF-8 in order to investigate its loading capacity for acyclovir and tetracycline. Before and after drug loadings, the composites were characterized by FT-IR, SEM-EDS, XRD, and XPS analyses. Then, the in-vitro release of these drugs was investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy in different buffers (pH = 5, 7.4, and 9.1). The results showed that the release of ACV reached a maximum amount of 41.3 mg at pH = 7.4 during 12 h. In comparison, the release of TC reached a maximum amount of 22.5 mg at pH = 5 during 6 h. The blood compatibility, in-vitro cytotoxicity on the L929 fibroblast cells line, and antibacterial assay against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were also investigated for this composite as a drug carrier.

Abstract
In recent decades, due to insufficient concentration at the lesion site, low bioavailability and increasingly serious resistance, antibiotics have become less and less dominant in the treatment of bacterial infectious diseases. It promotes the development of efficient drug delivery systems, and is expected to achieve high absorption, targeted drug release and satisfactory therapy effects. A variety of endogenous stimulation-responsive nanosystems have been constructed by using special infection microenvironments (pH, enzymes, temperature, etc.). In this review, we firstly provide an extensive review of the current research progress in antibiotic treatment dilemmas and drug delivery systems. Then, the mechanism of microenvironment characteristics of bacterial infected lesions was elucidated to provide a strong theoretical basis for bacteria-targeting nanosystems design. In particular, the discussion focuses on the design principles of single-stimulus and dual-stimulus responsive nanosystems, as well as the use of endogenous stimulus-responsive nanosystems to deliver antimicrobial agents to target locations for combating bacterial infectious diseases. Finally, the challenges and prospects of endogenous stimulus-responsive nanosystems were summarized.

Abstract
Although electrospinning (e-spinning) has witnessed rapid development in recent years, it has also been criticized by environmentalists due to the use of organic solvents. Therefore, aqueous e-spinning (green e-spinning) is considered a more attractive technique. However, considering the poor water resistance and mechanical properties of electrospun (e-spun) nanofibers, cross-linking is a perfect solution. In this review, we systematically discuss the cross-linking e-spinning system for the first time, including cross-linking strategies (in situ, liquid immersion, vapor, and spray cross-linking), cross-linking mechanism (physical and chemical cross-linking) of e-spun nanofibers, and the various applications (e.g., tissue engineering, drug delivery, water treatment, food packaging, and sensors) of cross-linked e-spun nanofibers. Among them, we highlight several cross-linking methods, including UV light cross-linking, electron beam cross-linking, glutaraldehyde (and other commonly used cross-linking agents) chemical cross-linking, thermal cross-linking, and enzymatic cross-linking. Finally, we confirm the significance of cross-linking e-spinning and reveal the problems in the construction of this system.

Creation of Chitosan-Based Nanocapsule-in-Nanofiber Structures for Hydrophobic/Hydrophilic Drug Co-Delivery and Their Dressing Applications in Diabetic Wounds. Macromol Biosci 2023; 23:e2300145.

Abstract
Nanofiber meshes (NFMs) loaded with therapeutic agents are very often employed to treat hard-to-heal wounds such as diabetic wounds. However, most of the NFMs have limited capability to load multiple or hydrophilicity distinctive-therapeutic agents. The therapy strategy is therefore significantly hampered. To tackle the innate drawback associated with the drug loading versatility, a chitosan-based nanocapsule-in-nanofiber (NC-in-NF) structural NFM system is developed for simultaneous loading of hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs. Oleic acid-modified chitosan is first converted into NCs by the developed mini-emulsion interfacial cross-linking procedure, followed by loading a hydrophobic anti-inflammatory agent Curcumin (Cur) into the NCs. Sequentially, the Cur-loaded NCs are successfully introduced into reductant-responsive maleoyl functional chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol NFMs containing a hydrophilic antibiotic Tetracycline hydrochloride. Having a co-loading capability for hydrophilicity distinctive agents, biocompatibility, and a controlled release property, the resulting NFMs have demonstrated the efficacy on promoting wound healing either in normal or diabetic rats.

Abstract
Bioactive films of chitosan (CS)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/trans-cinnamaldehyde (CIN) were prepared by co-blending, and the impact of varying concentrations (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 %) of CIN on the physicochemical properties of the ternary films was investigated. The ATR/FT-IR analysis revealed that the bioactive film is modulated by Schiff base (C=N) and hydrogen-bond interactions of CS, PVA, and CIN. Inclusion of CIN into the film improved mechanical properties with tensile strength increased from 0.5 % (68.52 MPa) to 1.5 % (76.95 MPa). The presence of CIN within the CS/PVA film also remarkably affected oxygen permeability and improved light transmittance. Additionally, the water barrier and contact angle properties were improved with increasing CIN content. The morphology of the CIN-containing films appeared non-stratified and dense when observed by SEM and AFM. Moreover, spore germination and in vitro assays confirmed strong antifungal activity of the CIN-containing film against P. italicum (~90 %) and B. cinerea (~85 %). The ternary films also exhibited excellent antioxidant activity, as evidenced by DPPH radical scavenging activity (31.43 %) and ferric reducing power (OD700 nm = 0.172) at the highest CIN concentration tested. Thus, this bioactive CIN films are proposed as a versatile packaging material for the food industry.

Abstract
Vanillic acid incorporated chitosan/poly(vinyl alcohol) active films were prepared by employing a cost-effective solvent casting technique. FTIR investigation validated the intermolecular interaction and formation of Schiff's base (C=N) between functional groups of vanillic acid, chitosan, and poly(vinyl alcohol). The addition of vanillic acid resulted in homogenous and dense morphology, as confirmed by SEM micrographs. The tensile strength of active films increased from 32 to 59 MPa as the amount of vanillic acid increased and the obtained values are more significant than reported polyethylene (2231 MPa) and polypropylene (31-38 MPa) films, widely utilized in food packaging. Active film's UV, water, and oxygen barrier properties exhibited excellent results with the incorporation of vanillic acid. Around 40 % of degradation commences within 15 days. Synergistic impact against S. aureus, E. coli, and C. albicans pathogens caused the expansion of the inhibition zone, evidenced by the excellent antimicrobial activity. The highest antioxidant capacity, 73.65 % of CPV-4 active film, proved that active films could prevent the spoilage of food from oxidation. Green chillies packaging was carried out to examine the potential of prepared active films as packaging material results in successfully sustaining carotenoid accumulation and prolonging the shelf life compared to conventional polyethylene (PE) packaging.

Abstract
Periplaneta americana has been used medicinally for years to treat a wide variety of skin lesions or ulcers. However, a sizable portion of the drug residues that are retained after extraction are routinely thrown away, thus posing a hazard to the environment and depleting resources. In this study, low molecular weight Periplaneta americana chitosan (LPCS) and high molecular weight Periplaneta americana chitosan (HPCS) were extracted from Periplaneta americana residue (PAR) based on the conventional acid-base method and two deacetylation methods. Moreover, the physicochemical properties and structural differences between the above two chitosan and commercial chitosan (CS) were compared using different methods. Next, two nanofibers comprising different ratios of Periplaneta americana chitosan (LPCS or HPCS), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and polyethylene oxide (PEO) were prepared and optimized. The above nanofibers exhibited excellent mechanical properties, antibacterial properties, and biocompatibility while facilitating wound healing in an infected rat whole-layer wound model by promoting wound closure, epithelialization, collagen deposition, and inflammation reduction. In brief, this study produced an effective and affordable wound dressing and offered a suggestion for the comprehensive utilization of Periplaneta americana residue.

Abstract
Preventing bacterial infection and controlling the inflammatory response occupy important positions in wound treatment. Although loading wound dressings with antibacterial or anti-inflammatory drugs/molecules is an effective approach to address these issues, simultaneous sustained release of these drugs remains challenging. Herein, hydrophilic polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride (PHGC) and hydrophobic indomethacin (Indo) are loaded in hydrophilic polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and hydrophobic polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers respectively by bidirectional electrospinning to form an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory PCL-Indo/PVA-PHGC wound dressing. The fabricated nanofiber membrane exhibits 100% disinfection activity to both Gram-negative (E. coli) and Gram-positive (S. aureus) bacteria because of the release of the broad-spectrum antibacterial molecule PHGC. Additionally, the loading of Indo in the nanofiber membrane enhances the expression level of IL-10, while inhibiting those of IL-6 and TNF-α in the RAW264.7 mouse cells. In the interwoven membrane of PCL and PVA fibers, the release of hydrophobic Indo is hindered by hydrophilic PHGC and PVA fibers, and similarly, the release of hydrophilic PHGC is hindered by hydrophobic Indo and PCL fibers. In conclusion, the PCL-Indo/PVA-PHGC nanofiber membrane has excellent antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and sustained-release effects, and thus regulates the immune microenvironment of the cells to potentially promote wound healing.

Abstract
Utilizing CO2 as one of the monomer resource, poly(vinylcyclohexene carbonates) (PVCHCs) are used as the precursor for preparing cationic PVCHCs (CPVCHCs) via thiol-ene click functionalization. Through the functionalization, CPVCHC-43 with a tertiary amine density of 43% relative to the backbone is able to display a significantly antibacterial ability against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Blending CPVCHC-43 with polyacrylonitrile (PAN), CPVCHC/PAN nanofiber meshes (NFMs) have been successfully prepared by electrospinning. More importantly, two crucial fibrous structural factors including CPVCHC/PAN weight ratio and fiber diameter have been systematically investigated for the effects on the antibacterial performance of the NFMs. Sequentially, a quaternization treatment has been employed on the NFMs with an optimal fibrous structure to enhance the antibacterial ability. The resulting quaternized NFMs have demonstrated the great biocidal effects against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Moreover, the excellent biocompatibility of the quaternized NFMs have also been thoroughly evaluated and verified. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
The graphene oxide (GO) nanoplates and polyethylene glycol-decorated GO (GO-PEG nano-hybrid) were synthesized and characterized by FTIR, Raman, XRD, AFM, FE-SEM-EDAX and MTT assay. Obtained results confirmed the graphite oxidation and also assembly of PEG upon GO plates. The MTT assay indicated that GO-PEG nanohybrid enhanced biocompatibility to cells compared to the GO. The GO-PEG nanohybrid was introduced to the polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan carbohydrate (PVA/CS) blends. The bio-nanocomposite were prepared by simple casting method. The GO-PEG nanohybrids demonstrated a significant role in improving thermal, mechanical and antibacterial properties. Accordingly, bio-nanocomposites containing modified GO (PVA/CS/GO-PEG) exhibited higher glass transition temperature (Tg), Young's modulus, tensile strength, elongation at break and antibacterial properties than nanocomposites containing pure GO (PVA/CS/GO). The biodegradation outcomes indicated that the highest weight loss and degradability is related to the bio-nanocomposite containing modified GO (PVA/CS/GO-PEG), which was also confirmed by FE-SEM micrographs. Therefore, PVA/CS/GO-PEG bio-nanocomposites can be a suitable candidate for biomedical applications (tissue engineering, wound dressing) and food-drug packaging industry.

Abstract
The management of chronic wounds is challenging. The factors that impede wound healing include malnutrition, diseases (such as diabetes, cancer), and bacterial infection. Most of the presently utilized wound dressing materials suffer from severe limitations, including poor antibacterial and mechanical properties. Wound dressings formulated from the combination of biopolymers and synthetic polymers (i.e., poly (vinyl alcohol) or poly (ε-caprolactone) display interesting properties, including good biocompatibility, improved biodegradation, good mechanical properties and antimicrobial effects, promote tissue regeneration, etc. Formulation of these wound dressings via electrospinning technique is cost-effective, useful for uniform and continuous nanofibers with controllable pore structure, high porosity, excellent swelling capacity, good gaseous exchange, excellent cellular adhesion, and show a good capability to provide moisture and warmth environment for the accelerated wound healing process. Based on the above-mentioned outstanding properties of nanofibers and the unique properties of hybrid wound dressings prepared from poly (vinyl alcohol) and poly (ε-caprolactone), this review reports the in vitro and in vivo outcomes of the reported hybrid nanofibers.

Abstract
This review summarizes and broadly classifies all of the major sustainable natural carbohydrate bio-macromolecular manifestations in nature - from botanical (cellulose, starch, and pectin), seaweed (alginate, carrageenan, and agar), microbial (bacterial cellulose, dextran, and pullulan), and animal (hyaluronan, heparin, chitin, and chitosan) sources - that have been contrived into electrospun fibers. Furthermore, a relative study of these biomaterials for the fabrication of nanofibers by electrospinning and their characteristics viz. solution behavior, blending nature, as well as rheological and fiber attributes are discussed. The potential multidimensional applications of nanofibers (filtration, antimicrobial, biosensor, gas sensor, energy storage, catalytic, and tissue engineering) originating from these polysaccharides and their major impacts on the properties, functionalities, and uses of these electrospun fibers are compared and critically examined.

Abstract
Gene-based therapies have emerged as a new modality for combating a myriad of currently incurable diseases. However, the fragile nature of gene therapeutics has significantly hampered their biomedical applications. Correspondingly, the development of gene-delivery vectors is of critical importance for gene-based therapies. To date, a variety of gene-delivery vectors have been created and utilized for gene delivery. In general, they can be categorized into viral- and non-viral vectors. Due to safety issues associated with viral vectors, non-viral vectors have recently attracted much more research focus. Of these non-viral vectors, polymeric vectors, which have been preferred due to their low immunogenicity, ease of production, controlled chemical composition and high chemical versatility, have constituted an ideal alternative to viral vectors. In particular, biodegradable polymers, which possess advantageous biocompatibility and biosafety, have been considered to have great potential in clinical applications. In this context, the aim of this review is to introduce the recent development and progress of biodegradable polymers for gene delivery applications, especially for their chemical structure design, gene delivery capacity and additional biological functions. Accordingly, we first define and categorize biodegradable polymers, followed by describing their corresponding degradation mechanisms. Various types of biodegradable polymers resulting from natural and synthetic polymers will be introduced and their applications in gene delivery will be examined. Finally, a future perspective regarding the development of biodegradable polymer vectors will be given.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop novel nanofibrous membranes based on the quaternary ammonium N-halamine chitosan (CSENDMH) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) for antibacterial and hemostasis wound dressing. To improve the antimicrobial properties of nanofibrous membranes, a new chitosan-quaternary ammonium N-halamine derivative was successfully synthesized, and the structure was analyzed by 1H NMR and 13C NMR, fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The morphological and water absorption ability studies showed that the membrane had a uniform bead-free network and high porosity structure like natural extracellular matrix as well as high hydrophilicity. For in vitro evaluation of the hemostatic effect, the membranes showed excellent blood clotting capacity, especially the PVA/CSENDMH membranes. The antimicrobial assay demonstrated excellent antibacterial activity of nanofibrous membranes against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Furthermore, the cytocompatibility assay results indicated that human fibroblasts could adhere and proliferate on the membranes, thus corroborating their biocompatibility.

Abstract
Biofilms of multidrug-resistant bacteria in chronic wounds pose a great challenge in wound care. Herein, we report the topical delivery of molecularly engineered antimicrobial peptides using electrospun nanofiber dressings as a carrier for the treatment of biofilms of multidrug-resistant bacteria in diabetic wounds. Molecularly engineered human cathelicidin peptide 17BIPHE2 was successfully encapsulated in the core of pluronic F127/17BIPHE2-PCL core-shell nanofibers. The in vitro release profiles of 17BIPHE2 showed an in initial burst followed by a sustained release over 4 weeks. The peptide nanofiber formulations effectively killed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) USA300. Similarly, the 17BIPHE2 peptide containing nanofibers could also effectively kill other bacteria including Klebsiella pneumoniae (104 to 106 CFU) and Acinetobacter baumannii (104 to 107 CFU) clinical strains in vitro without showing evident cytotoxicity to skin cells and monocytes. Importantly, 17BIPHE2-containing nanofiber dressings without debridement caused five-magnitude decreases of the MRSA USA300 CFU in a biofilm-containing chronic wound model based on type II diabetic mice. In combination with debridement, 17BIPHE2-containing nanofiber dressings could completely eliminate the biofilms, providing one possible solution to chronic wound treatment. Taken together, the biodegradable nanofiber-based wound dressings developed in this study can be utilized to effectively deliver molecularly engineered peptides to treat biofilm-containing chronic wounds.

Piperlongumine-Eluting Gastrointestinal Stent Using Reactive Oxygen Species-Sensitive Nanofiber Mats for Inhibition of Cholangiocarcinoma Cells. NANOSCALE RESEARCH LETTERS 2019; 14:58.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to fabricate drug-eluting gastrointestinal (GI) stent using reactive oxygen species (ROS)-sensitive nanofiber mats for treatment of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) cell. A ROS-producing agent, piperlongumine (PL)-incorporated nanofiber mats were investigated for drug-eluting stent (DES) application. METHODS Selenocystamine-conjugated methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MePEG) was conjugated with poly(L-lactide) (PLA) to produce block copolymer (LEse block copolymer). Various ratios of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and LEse block copolymer were dissolved in organic solvent with PL, and then nanofiber mats were fabricated by electro-spinning techniques. RESULTS The higher amount of LEse in the blend of PCL/LEse resulted in the formation of granules while PCL alone showed fine nanofiber structure. Nanofiber mats composed of PCL/LEse polymer blend showed ROS-sensitive drug release, i.e., PL release rate from nanofiber mats was accelerated in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) while nanofiber mats of PCL alone have small changes in drug release rate, indicating that PL-incorporated nanofiber membranes have ROS responsiveness. PL itself and PL released from nanofiber mats showed almost similar anticancer activity against various CCA cells. Furthermore, PL released from nanofiber mats properly produced ROS generation and induced apoptosis of CCA cells as well as PL itself. In HuCC-T1 cell-bearing mice, PL-incorporated nanofiber mats showed improvement in anticancer activity. CONCLUSION PL-incorporated ROS-sensitive nanofiber mats were coated onto GI stent and showed improved anticancer activity with ROS responsiveness. We suggested PL-incorporated ROS-sensitive nanofiber mats as a promising candidate for local treatment of CCA cells.

Abstract
Poly[2-( tert-butylaminoethyl) methacrylate] (PTA), an important class of antimicrobial polymers, has demonstrated its great biocidal efficiency, favorable nontoxicity, and versatile applicability. To further enhance its antimicrobial efficiency, an optimization of the chemical structure of PTA polymers is performed via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) in terms of the antimicrobial ability against Escherichia coli ( E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus). After the optimization, the resulting PTA is blended into a polylactide (PLA) matrix to form PTA/PLA composite thin films. It is first found, that the antimicrobial efficiency of PTA/PLA composites was significantly enhanced by controlling the PLA crystallinity and the PLA spherulite size. A possible mechanistic route regarding this new finding has been rationally discussed. Lastly, the cytotoxicity and mechanical properties of a PTA/PLA composite thin film exhibiting the best biocidal effect are evaluated for assessing its potential as a new material for creating antimicrobial biomedical devices.

Abstract
As one of important biomaterials for localized drug delivery system, chitosan hydrogel still suffer several challenges, including poor mechanical properties, passive drug release behavior and lack of remote stimuli response. To address these challenges, a facile in situ hybridization method was reported for fabricate tough magnetic chitosan hydrogel (MCH), which remotely switched drug release from passive release to pulsatile release under a low frequency alternating magnetic field (LAMF). The in situ hybridization method avoided the aggregation of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in hydrogel, which simultaneously brings 416% and 265% increase in strength and elastic modulus, respectively. The mechanical property enhancement was contributed by the physical crosslinking of in situ synthesized MNPs. When a LAMF with 15 min ON-15 min OFF cycles was applied to MCH, the fraction release showed zigzag shape and pulsatile release behavior with quick response. The cumulative release and fraction release of drug from MCH were improved by 67.2% and 31.9%, respectively. MTT results and cell morphology indicated that the MCH have excellent biocompatibility and no acute adverse effect on MG-63 cells. The developed tough MCH system holds great potential for applications in smart drug release system with noninvasive characteristics and magnetic field stimulated drug release behavior.

Abstract
A free radical polymerization method was adopted for the fabrication of hybrid hydrogel films based on acrylamide and polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate as plasticizing and crosslinking agents, respectively, to be employed as smart skin bandages. Electro-sensitivity, biocompatibility and proteolytic properties were conferred to the final polymer networks by introducing graphene oxide (0.5% w/w), gelatin or trypsin (10% w/w) in the polymerization feed. The physical chemical and mechanical characterization of hybrid materials was performed by means of determination of protein content, Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and measurement of tensile strength. The evaluation of both water affinity and curcumin release profiles (analyzed by suitable mathematical modelling) upon application of an external electric stimulation in the 0-48 voltage range, confirmed the possibility to modulate the release kinetics. Proper proteolytic tests showed that the trypsin enzymatic activity was retained by 80% upon immobilization. Moreover, for all samples, we observed a viability higher than 94% in normal human fibroblast cells (MRC-5), while a reduction of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus CFU mL-1 (90%) was obtained with curcumin loaded samples.
