[PMID: 36418917 PMCID: PMC9684514 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-24389-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2022] [Accepted: 11/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Nano-bio interactions are size-dependent. The present study investigates whether core-shell chitosan-alginate particle size governs biological activities as well as protein release profile. A coaxial electrospraying was used to fabricate bovine serum albumin (BSA)-loaded core-shell micro/nanoparticles and were fully characterized. The bio/hemocompatibility of the particles was assessed using MTT and hemolytic assays, respectively, followed by the uptake assessment using flow cytometry. Finally, protein absorption was investigated using SDS-PAGE. The SEM size of the microparticles, the hydrodynamic, and the actual sizes of the nanoparticles were 1.2 μm, 90.49 nm, and 50 nm, respectively. Interactions among two polymers and BSA were observed using DSC analysis. BET analysis showed a more surface area for nanoparticles. A sustained release trend of BSA was observed after 14- and 10-day for microparticles and nanoparticles, respectively. Microparticles exhibited excellent hemocompatibility (< 5% hemolysis) and cell viability (at least > 70%) in all concentrations. However, acceptable hemolytic activity and cell viability were observed for nanoparticles in concentrations below 250 μg/mL. Furthermore, nanoparticles showed greater cellular uptake (~ 4 folds) and protein absorption (~ 1.61 folds) than microparticles. Overall, the developed core-shell chitosan-alginate particles in the micro/nanoscale can be promising candidates for biomedical application and regenerative medicine regarding their effects on above mentioned biological activities.

Abstract
The targeted delivery of cancer drugs to tumor-specific molecular targets represents a major challenge in modern personalized cancer medicine. Engineering of micron and submicron polymeric multilayer capsules allows the obtaining of multifunctional theranostic systems serving as controllable stimulus-responsive tools with a high clinical potential to be used in cancer therapy and detection. The functionalities of such theranostic systems are determined by the design and structural properties of the capsules. This review (1) describes the current issues in designing cancer cell-targeting polymeric multilayer capsules, (2) analyzes the effects of the interactions of the capsules with the cellular and molecular constituents of biological fluids, and (3) presents the key structural parameters determining the effectiveness of capsule targeting. The influence of the morphological and physicochemical parameters and the origin of the structural components and surface ligands on the functional activity of polymeric multilayer capsules at the molecular, cellular, and whole-body levels are summarized. The basic structural and functional principles determining the future trends of theranostic capsule development are established and discussed.

Abstract
In recent years, wearable contact lenses for medical applications have attracted significant attention, as they enable continuous real-time recording of physiological information via active and noninvasive measurements. These devices play a vital role in continuous monitoring of intraocular pressure (IOP), noninvasive glucose monitoring in diabetes patients, drug delivery for the treatment of ocular illnesses, and colorblindness treatment. In specific, this class of medical devices is rapidly advancing in the area of drug loading and ocular drug release through incorporation of electrospun fibers. The electrospun fiber matrices offer a high surface area, controlled morphology, wettability, biocompatibility, and tunable porosity, which are highly desirable for controlled drug release. This article provides an overview of the advances of contact lens devices in medical applications with a focus on four main applications of these soft wearable devices: (i) IOP measurement and monitoring, (ii) glucose detection, (iii) ocular drug delivery, and (iv) colorblindness treatment. For each category and application, significant challenges and shortcomings of the current devices are thoroughly discussed, and new areas of opportunity are suggested. We also emphasize the role of electrospun fibers, their fabrication methods along with their characteristics, and the integration of diverse fiber types within the structure of the wearable contact lenses for efficient drug loading, in addition to controlled and sustained drug release. This review article also presents relevant statistics on the evolution of medical contact lenses over the last two decades, their strengths, and the future avenues for making the essential transition from clinical trials to real-world applications.

Electrohydrodynamic atomisation driven design and engineering of opportunistic particulate systems for applications in drug delivery, therapeutics and pharmaceutics. Adv Drug Deliv Rev 2021; 176:113788. [PMID: 33957180 DOI: 10.1016/j.addr.2021.04.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2021] [Revised: 04/20/2021] [Accepted: 04/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Electrohydrodynamic atomisation (EHDA) technologies have evolved significantly over the past decade; branching into several established and emerging healthcare remits through timely advances in the engineering sciences and tailored conceptual process designs. More specifically for pharmaceutical and drug delivery spheres, electrospraying (ES) has presented itself as a high value technique enabling a plethora of different particulate structures. However, when coupled with novel formulations (e.g. co-flows) and innovative device aspects (e.g., materials and dimensions), core characteristics of particulates are manipulated and engineered specifically to deliver an application driven need, which is currently lacking, ranging from imaging and targeted delivery to controlled release and sensing. This demonstrates the holistic nature of these emerging technologies; which is often overlooked. Parametric driven control during particle engineering via the ES method yields opportunistic properties when compared to conventional methods, albeit at ambient conditions (e.g., temperature and pressure), making this extremely valuable for sensitive biologics and molecules of interest. Furthermore, several processing (e.g., flow rate, applied voltage and working distance) and solution (e.g., polymer concentration, electrical conductivity and surface tension) parameters impact ES modes and greatly influence the production of resulting particles. The formation of a steady cone-jet and subsequent atomisation during ES fabricates particles demonstrating monodispersity (or near monodispersed), narrow particle size distributions and smooth or textured morphologies; all of which are successfully incorporated in a one-step process. By following a controlled ES regime, tailored particles with various intricate structures (hollow microspheres, nanocups, Janus and cell-mimicking nanoparticles) can also be engineered through process head modifications central to the ES technique (single-needle spraying, coaxial, multi-needle and needleless approaches). Thus, intricate formulation design, set-up and combinatorial engineering of the EHDA process delivers particulate structures with a multitude of applications in tissue engineering, theranostics, bioresponsive systems as well as drug dosage forms for specific delivery to diseased or target tissues. This advanced technology has great potential to be implemented commercially, particularly on the industrial scale for several unmet pharmaceutical and medical challenges and needs. This review focuses on key seminal developments, ending with future perspectives addressing obstacles that need to be addressed for future advancement.

Abstract
Modern-day search for the novel agents (their preparation and consequent implementation) to effectively treat the cancer is mainly fuelled by the historical failure of the conventional treatment modalities. Apart from that, the complexities such as higher rate of cell mutations, variable tumor microenvironment, patient-specific disparities, and the evolving nature of cancers have made this search much stronger in the latest times. As a result of this, in about two decades, the theranostic nanoparticles (TNPs) - i.e., nanoparticles that integrate therapeutic and diagnostic characteristics - have been developed. The examples for TNPs include mesoporous silica nanoparticles, luminescence nanoparticles, carbon-based nanomaterials, metal nanoparticles, and magnetic nanoparticles. These TNPs have emerged as single and powerful cancer-treating multifunctional nanoplatforms, as they widely provide the necessary functionalities to overcome the previous/conventional limitations including lack of the site-specific delivery of anti-cancer drugs, and real-time continuous monitoring of the target cancer sites while performing therapeutic actions. This has been mainly possible due to the association of the as-developed TNPs with the already-available unique diagnostic (e.g., luminescence, photoacoustic, and magnetic resonance imaging) and therapeutic (e.g., photothermal, photodynamic, hyperthermia therapy) modalities in the biomedical field. In this review, we have discussed in detail about the recent developments on the aforementioned important TNPs without/with targeting ability (i.e., attaching them with ligands or tumor-specific antibodies) and also the strategies that are implemented to increase their tumor accumulation and to enhance their theranostic efficacies for effective biomedical cancer treatments.

Abstract
Natamycin (NAT) is the drug of choice for the treatment of fungal keratitis (FK). However, its inherent shortcomings, such as poor solubility, high dosing frequency, and long treatment cycle, need to be urgently addressed by designing a new delivery to widen its clinical utility. Growing research has confirmed that clotrimazole (CLZ) plays a significant role in fungal growth inhibition. Hence, coaxial electrospray (CO-ES) technology is used herein to prepare nano-systems with an average hydrodynamic particle size of 309-406 nm for the co-delivery of NAT and CLZ in chitosan (CTS) and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA). The resulting NAT/CLZ@CTS/PLGA formulations were characterized by a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and in vitro release test. The results show that the formulations had obvious core-shell structures, uniform particle distribution, and also can sustain the release of drugs over 36 h. Furthermore, in vitro hemolysis, in vivo corneal irritation test, local allergenic test, and antifungal activity analyses are performed to evaluate the safety and efficiency of the formulations. Thus, good biosafety along with a significant anti-candidiasis effect are found in the NAT/CLZ@CTS/PLGA nanoparticles (NPs). Taken together, the results suggest that this design may provide a promising drug delivery system and a new option for the treatment of FK.

Enzymatic degradation of ginkgolic acids by laccase immobilized on core/shell Fe 3O 4/nylon composite nanoparticles using novel coaxial electrospraying process. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 172:270-280.

Abstract
Enzyme immobilization can increase enzyme reusability to reduce cost of industrial production. Ginkgo biloba leaf extract is commonly used for medical purposes, but it contains ginkgolic acid, which has negative effects on human health. Here, we report a novel approach to solve the problem by degrading the ginkgolic acid with immobilized-laccase, where core/shell composite nanoparticles prepared by coaxial electrospraying might be first applied to enzyme immobilization. The core/shell Fe3O4/nylon 6,6 composite nanoparticles (FNCNs) were prepared using one-step coaxial electrospraying and can be simply recovered by magnetic force. The glutaraldehyde-treated FNCNs (FNGCNs) were used to immobilize laccase. As a result, thermal stability of the free laccase was significantly improved in the range of 60-90 °C after immobilization. The laccase-immobilized FNGCNs (L-FNGCNs) were applied to degrade the ginkgolic acids, and the rate constants (k) and times (τ50) were ~0.02 min-1 and lower than 39 min, respectively, showing good catalytic performance. Furthermore, the L-FNGCNs exhibited a relative activity higher than 0.5 after being stored for 21 days or reused for 5 cycles, showing good storage stability and reusability. Therefore, the FNGCNs carrier was a promising enzyme immobilization system and its further development and applications were of interest.

Abstract
To overcome the shortcoming of drug-loaded nanoparticles, such as high initial burst release and wide size distribution, a novel manufacturing technique for core-shell structure nanoparticle was developed by combining microfluidic chip and electrohydrodynamic atomization. In this study, the mixture solution of the surfactant 1, 2- dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoglycerol and the polymeric coating material polylactic-glycolic-acid was introduced into the outer microchannel of the microfluidic chip as the particle's shell. And the encapsulated drug paclitaxel was pumped into the inner microchannel as the core. Then, the particles with a nanoscale-size core-shell structure were generated by applying an electric field on the laminar flow which was formed in the microfluidic chip. Operation parameters, including working voltage, carrier material and surfactant concentration as well as liquid flow rates were optimized for nanoparticles generation. The properties of drug-loaded nanoparticles in terms of their particle size, zeta potential and encapsulation efficiency were investigated. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the particle size was approximately 145 nm and encapsulation efficiency reached 92%. Moreover, the drug release of these nanoparticles could be prolonged over a significant period for more than ten days. It can be expected that this innovative approach could provide a useful platform for drug-loaded core-shell nanoparticles developing.

Abstract
Many nanomedicine approaches are struggling to reach high enough effectiveness in delivery if applied systemically. The perspective is sought to explore the clinical practices currently used for localized treatment. In this study, we combine in vivo targeting of carriers sensitive to the external magnetic field with clinically used endovascular delivery to specific site. Fluorescent micron-size capsules made of biodegradable polymers and containing magnetite nanoparticles incorporated in the capsule wall were explored in vivo using Near-Infrared Fluorescence Live Imaging for Real-Time. Comparison of systemic (intravenous) and directed (intra-arterial) administration of the magnetic microcapsule targeting in the hindpaw vessels demonstrated that using femoral artery injection in combination with magnetic field exposure is 4 times more efficient than tail vein injection. Thus, endovascular targeting significantly improves the capabilities of nanoengineered drug delivery systems reducing the systemic side effects of therapy.

Abstract
Powders of β-tricalcium phosphate [β-TCP, β-Ca3(PO4)2] and composite powders of β-TCP and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) were synthesized by using wet precipitation methods. First, the conditions for the preparation of single phase β-TCP have been delineated. In the co-precipitation procedure, calcium nitrate and diammonium hydrogen phosphate were used as calcium and phosphorous precursors, respectively. The pH of the system was varied in the range 7-11 by adding designed amounts of ammonia solution. The filtered cakes were desiccated at 80 °C and subsequently calcined at different temperatures in the range between 700-1100 °C. Later on, rifampicin form II was used to produce drug-loaded β-TCP and PVA/β-TCP powders. All the synthesized materials have been characterized from morphological (by scanning electron microscopy) and structural-chemical (by X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) point of view. The drug loading capacity of the selected pure β-TCP powder has been assessed. The biological performance (cytocompatibility in fibroblast cell culture and antibacterial efficacy against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) has been tested with promising results. Application perspectives of the designed drug-bioceramic-polymer blends are advanced and discussed.

Folic Acid-Functionalized, Condensed Magnetic Nanoparticles for Targeted Delivery of Doxorubicin to Tumor Cancer Cells Overexpressing the Folate Receptor. ACS OMEGA 2019; 4:22214-22227.

Abstract
This study concerns the development of folic acid (FA)-functionalized iron oxide condensed colloidal magnetic clusters for a more selective delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) to tumor cancer cells overexpressing the folate receptor. Alginate-coated condensed magnetic nanoparticles (co-MIONs) were synthesized via an alkaline precipitation method of an iron precursor in the presence of sodium alginate. Poly(ethylene glycol) (OH-PEG-NH2) was conjugated to the carboxylic acid end group of alginate and folic acid (FA) was conjugated to the hydroxyl terminal group of PEG to produce folate-functionalized, pegylated co-MIONS (Mag-Alg-PEG-FA). The physicochemical properties of nanoparticles were fully characterized. DOX was loaded on the nanoparticles, and the cellular uptake and anticancer efficacy of the nanoparticles were examined in cancer cell lines expressing and not expressing the folate receptor. The biocompatibility of the carrier (blank nanoparticles) was also evaluated by cytocompatibility and hemocompatibility experiments. The nanoparticles exhibited sustained DOX release in aqueous buffers and biorelevant media, which was responsive to pH and external alternating current magnetic fields. The effect of the magnetic field on DOX percentage release appeared to be independent of the timing (onset time) of magnetic field application, providing flexibility to the magnetic control of drug release from the nanoparticles. The blank nanoparticles were not cytotoxic and did not cause hemolysis. The DOX-loaded and FA-functionalized nanoparticles exhibited increased uptake and caused increased apoptosis and cytotoxicity against the MDA-MB-231 cell line, expressing the folate receptor, compared to the MCF-7 cell line, not expressing the folate receptor. The application of a 0.5 T magnetic field during incubation of the nanoparticles with the cancer cells increased the cellular uptake and cytotoxicity of the nanoparticles. The obtained results indicate the potential of the folate-functionalized, pegylated co-MIONS for a more efficacious DOX delivery to cancer cells of solid tumors.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to apply the Quality by Design (QbD) approach to the electrospinning of fibres loaded with the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) indomethacin (INDO) and diclofenac sodium (DICLO). A Quality Target Product Profile (QTPP) was made, and risk assessments (preliminary hazard analysis) were conducted to identify the impact of material attributes and process parameters on the critical quality attributes (CQAs) of the fibres. A full factorial design of experiments (DoE) of 20 runs was built, which was used to carry out experiments. The following factors were assessed: Drugs, voltage, flow rate, and the distance between the processing needle and collector. Release studies exhibited INDO fibres had greater total release of active drug compared to DICLO fibres. Voltage and distance were found to be the most significant factors of the experiment. Multivariate statistical analytical software helped to build six feasible design spaces and two flexible, universal design spaces for both drugs, at distances of 5 cm and 12.5 cm, along with a flexible control strategy. The current findings and their analysis confirm that QbD is a viable and invaluable tool to enhance product and process understanding of electrospinning for the assurance of high-quality fibres.

Abstract
Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) is a well-known pharmaceutical polymer, recently gaining attention in the field of nanomedicine, especially as a polyelectrolyte agent for the formation of complexes with oppositely charged macromolecules. Here, we report on the application of pH-sensitive pharmaceutical grade CMC-based nanoparticles (NP) for white blood cells (WBC) PET imaging. In this context and as an alternative to 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT labeling, the use of 68Ga3+ as PET radionuclide was investigated since, at early time points, it could provide the greater spatial resolution and patient convenience of PET tomography over SPECT clinical practices. Two operator-friendly kit-type formulations were compared, with the intention of radiolabeling within a short time (10 min), under mild conditions (physiological pH, room temperature) and in agreement with the actual clinically applied guidelines. NP were labeled by directly using 68Ga3+ eluted in HCL 0.05 N, from hospital suited 68Ge/68Ga generator and in absence of chelator. The first kit type approach involved the application of 68Ga3+ as an ionotropic gelation agent for in-situ forming NP. The second kit type approach concerned the re-hydration of a proper freeze-dried injectable NP powder. pH-sensitive NP with 250 nm average diameter and 80% labeling efficacy were obtained. The NP dispersant medium, including a cryoprotective agent, was modulated in order to optimize the Zeta potential value (−18 mV), minimize the NP interaction with serum proteins and guarantee a physiological environment for WBC during NP incubation. Time-dependent WBC radiolabeling was correlated to NP uptake by using both confocal and FT-IR microscopies. The ready to use lyophilized NP formulation approach appears promising as a straightforward 68Ga-WBC labeling tool for PET imaging applications.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has attracted increasing interest in different aspects of biotechnology. The fabrication of electrospun nanofibers (NFs) containing antibacterial agents for antimicrobial applications has been significantly enhanced in recent years. In the current review, various electrospun NFs with antimicrobial properties were introduced and evaluated. The main focus was on the recent developments and applications of antimicrobial electrospun NFs incorporated with different antimicrobial agents, including metal nanoparticles (NPs), antibiotics, quaternized ammonium compounds, triclosan, herbal extracts, carbon nanomaterials, and antimicrobial biopolymers with inherent antimicrobial properties. The search results revealed that antimicrobial containing electrospun NFs had enhanced antimicrobial performance with various biomedical applications compared to the traditional antimicrobial materials. According to the reported results, most of the studies were of an investigative nature and were mostly based on in vitro tests. Hence, further examination on in vivo clinical performance of these antimicrobial NFs seems necessary. However, these antimicrobial NFs appear to have the potential to achieve clinical usefulness and commercial production in the near future.

Abstract
Indocyanine green (ICG) provides an advantage in the imaging of deep tumors as it can reach deeper location without being absorbed in the upper layers of biological tissues in the wavelengths, which named "therapeutic window" in the tissue engineering. Unfortunately, rapid elimination and short-term stability in aqueous media limited its use as a fluorescence probe for the early detection of cancerous tissue. In this study, stabilization of ICG was performed by encapsulating ICG molecules into the biodegradable polymer composited with poly(l-lactic acid) and poly(ε-caprolactone) via a simple one-step multiaxial electrospinning method. Different types of coaxial and triaxial structure groups were performed and compared with single polymer only groups. Confocal microscopy was used to image the encapsulated ICG (1 mg/mL) within electrospun nanofibers and in vitro ICG uptake by MIA PaCa-2 pancreatic cancer cells. Stability of encapsulated ICG is demonstrated by the in vitro sustainable release profile in PBS (pH = 4 and 7) up to 21 days. These results suggest the potential of the ability of internalization and accommodation of ICG into the pancreatic cell cytoplasm from in vitro implanted ICG-encapsulated multiaxial nanofiber mats. ICG-encapsulated multilayer nanofibers may be promising for the local sustained delivery system to eliminate loss of dosage caused by direct injection of ICG-loaded nanoparticles in systemic administration.

Abstract
Electrospraying assures many advantages with taking less time and costing less relatively to the other conventional particle production methods. In this research, we investigated the encapsulation of melatonin (MEL) hormone in polycaprolactone (PCL) microparticles by using electrospraying method. Morphology analysis of the produced particles completed with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). SEM images demonstrated that micro-particles of 3 wt% PCL solution has the most suitable particle diameter size (2.3 ± 0.64 μm) for melatonin encapsulation. According to the characterization of the particles, electrospraying parameters like optimal collecting distance, the flow rate of the solution and voltage of the system detected as 8 cm, 0.5 ml/h, and 10 kV respectively. For determining the chemical bonds of scaffold Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) were used and FTIR results showed that melatonin successfully loaded into PCL micro-particles. Drug release kinetics of the melatonin loaded particles indicated that melatonin released with a burst at the beginning and release behavior became sustainable over a period of 8 h with the encapsulation efficiency of about 73%. In addition, both in-vitro and in-vivo studies of the graft materials also completed. Primary human osteoblasts (HOB) cells and female Sprague Dawley rats were used in in-vitro and in-vivo studies. Test results demonstrate cell population, and bone volume of the rats grafted with composites has remarkably increased, this caused remodelling in bone structure. Overall, these findings indicate that encapsulation of melatonin in the PCL particles with electrospray method is optimum for new synthetic graft material.

Abstract
Coaxial electrohydrodynamic atomization (CEHDA) presents a promising technology for preparing drug-loaded micro/nanoparticles with core-shell structures. Recently, CEHDA has attracted tremendous attention based on its specific advantages, including precise control over particle size and size distribution, reduced initial burst release and mild preparation conditions. Moreover, with different needles, CEHDA can produce a variety of drug-loaded micro/nanoparticles for drug delivery systems. In this review, we summarize recent advances in using double-layer structure, multilayer structure and multicomponent encapsulation strategies for developing micro/nanoparticles. The merits of applying multiplexed electrospray sources for high-throughput production are also highlighted.

Abstract
Hydrogel capsules are a potential candidate for drug delivery and an interesting alternative to polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules which are under investigation since 20 years. Recently introduced polyelectrolyte complex capsules produced by spraying are non-biodegradable and not biocompatible, which limits their practical application, while biodegradable alginate capsules require complex coaxial electrospray ionization jetting. In this work, biodegradable alginate capsules cross-linked by calcium are successfully produced by hydrodynamic electrospray ionization jetting with the assistance of low frequency ultrasound. The size and shape of most capsules show significant differences with respect to different spraying distance, spraying mode, electrode shape and spraying concentration. Capsules in the shape of vase, mushrooms and spheres were successfully produced. Average capsule size can be adjusted from 10 μm to 2 mm. These capsules are used to encapsulate a model drug. Encapsulated paramagnetic particles enable defined directional motion under the propulsion of a rotating magnetic field, while model drugs can be released by ultrasound.

Abstract
AIM To synthesize magnetic nanoparticles loaded with the SGLT2-inhibitor canagliflozin (CANA) and evaluate its anticancer potential under normoxic and hypoxic conditions in combination or not with radiotherapy. MATERIAL & METHODS Iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized via an alkaline hydrolytic precipitation of iron precursor in the presence of poly(methacrylic acid)-graft-poly(ethyleneglycol methacrylate). CANA was conjugated to the nanoparticles using N-ethyl-N'-(3-dimethyl aminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC)/N-hydroxysuccinimide chemistry. The anticancer efficacy of the nanoparticles was evaluated in cancer cell lines and in a mouse PDV C57 tumor model. RESULTS In the mouse xenograft cancer model, the combination of CANA-loaded nanoparticles with radiotherapy (in the presence of an external magnetic field at the tumor site) exhibited higher antitumor activity compared with the combination of free CANA with radiotherapy. CONCLUSION The results obtained indicate the potential that the combination of selective delivery of a SGLT2 inhibitor such as CANA with radiotherapy holds as an anticancer treatment.

Abstract
An auxiliary electrode introduced in traditional spinneret electrospinning is an effective and powerful technique to improve the production rate of nanofibers. In this work, the effects of the arrangement of auxiliary electrode, applied voltage, injection speed, and the distance between the electrode tip and the spinneret tip (ESD) on the jet number and the morphology of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers were investigated systematically. The results showed that the number of jets firstly increased and then decreased with the increase of applied voltage and ESD, respectively, while increasing with the injection speed in both the auxiliary electrode in the vertical position and parallel position. The average nanofiber diameter decreased with increasing of applied voltage and injection speed, but decreasing in ESD in these two positions. The numerical simulation results revealed that the auxiliary electrode primarily influenced the electric field intensity in the spinning area. This work provides a deep understanding of multiple jets in electrospinning.

Abstract
The aims of this study are to prepare quaternized xylan-Fe2O3 (QX-Fe2O3) core/shell nanocomposites and explore their potential application in the biomedical fields. γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles synthesized by a facile solvothermal process are coated with QX via reverse microemulsion method and further modified by polylysine (PLL) and folic acid (FA) to prepare PLL-QX-Fe2O3 and FA-QX-Fe2O3 nanoparticles. An obvious strong absorption of γ-Fe2O3 at 580 cm-1 in the spectra of QX-Fe2O3 is observed, the Fe element content of QX-Fe2O3 is 30-75 μg/mL and the saturation magnetization of QX-Fe2O3 nanoparticles is 1.49 emu/g. The γ-Fe2O3 and QX-Fe2O3 nanoparticles are of regular sphericity with diameter of 50-100 nm and 60-150 nm, respectively. The highest zeta potential of QX-Fe2O3 nanoparticles is -41 mV, and the PLL-QX-Fe2O3 nanoparticles have a positive potential with a maximum value of 45.2 mV. In addition, FA-QX-Fe2O3 showed excellent performance in T2-weighted Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging with an r2 value of 190 mM-1S-1. Each nanocomposite has its own inherent properties, which contributes to its versatile utilization and application potential.

Abstract
Biocompatible nanocomposite electrospun fibers containing Polyurethane/Chitosan/ $\beta $ -Tri calcium phosphate with diverse concentrations were designed and produced through the electrospinning process for bone tissue engineering applications. After the production process, density measurement, viscosity, electrical conductivity, and tensile strength measurement tests were carried out as physical analyses of blended solutions. The chemical structural characterization was scrutinized using Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the morphological details of developed electrospun scaffolds. Cell viability, attachment, and proliferation were performed using a L929 fibroblast cell line. Based on the physical, SEM, FTIR analysis, and cell culture studies, preferable nanofiber composition was selected for further studies. Amoxicillin (AMX) was loaded to that selected nanofiber composition for examination of the drug release. In comparison with other studies on similar AMX controlled products, higher drug loading and encapsulation efficiencies were obtained. It has been clearly found that the developed nanofiber composites have potential for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Magnetic nanogels (MNGs) are designed to have all the required features for their use as highly efficient trapping materials in the challenging task of selectively capturing circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from the bloodstream. Advantageously, the discrimination of CTCs from hematological cells, which is a key factor in the capturing process, can be optimized by finely tuning the polymers used to link the targeting moiety to the MNG. We describe herein the relationship between the capturing efficiency of CTCs with overexpressed transferrin receptors and the different strategies on the polymer used as linker to decorate these MNGs with transferrin (Tf). Heterobifunctional polyethylene glycol (PEG) linkers with different molecular weights were coupled to Tf in different ratios. Optimal values over 80% CTC capture efficiency were obtained when 3 PEG linkers with a length of 8 ethylene glycol (EG) units were used, which reveals the important role of the linker in the design of a CTC-sorting system.

Abstract
Melanoma is the most aggressive and lethal type of skin cancer, with a poor prognosis because of the potential for metastatic spread. The aim was to develop innovative powder formulations for the treatment of metastatic melanoma based on micro- and nanocarriers containing 5-fluorouracil (5FU) for pulmonary administration, aiming at local and systemic action. Therefore, two innovative inhalable powder formulations were produced by spray-drying using chondroitin sulfate as a structuring polymer: (a) 5FU nanoparticles obtained by piezoelectric atomization (5FU-NS) and (b) 5FU microparticles of the mucoadhesive agent Methocel™ F4M for sustained release produced by conventional spray drying (5FU-MS). The physicochemical and aerodynamic were evaluated in vitro for both systems, proving to be attractive for pulmonary delivery. The theoretical aerodynamic diameters obtained were 0.322 ± 0.07 µm (5FU-NS) and 1.138 ± 0.54 µm (5FU-MS). The fraction of respirable particles (FR%) were 76.84 ± 0.07% (5FU-NS) and 55.01 ± 2.91% (5FU-MS). The in vitro mucoadhesive properties exhibited significant adhesion efficiency in the presence of Methocel™ F4M. 5FU-MS and 5FU-NS were tested for their cytotoxic action on melanoma cancer cells (A2058 and A375) and both showed a cytotoxic effect similar to 5FU pure at concentrations of 4.3 and 1.7-fold lower, respectively.

Abstract
Hydrodynamic electrospray ionization jetting was applied for generating and characterizing calcium cross-linked alginate microparticles. These microparticles show different diameters and aspect ratios for three electrospray modes (dripping, conejet and multijet modes), four spraying distances (5, 10, 15 and 20 cm), and six spraying concentrations. Comparing the three different electrospray modes, we found that the conejet mode results in the smallest particle diameters, lowest aspect ratio and smallest variations over the parameter space mentioned above. For all spraying modes, the resultant particle diameters become independent of the spraying distance at a sprayed solute concentration ≥ 2.5%. The aspect ratio of microparticles varies significantly for different spraying modes and distances. An increasing aspect ratio of all spray modes was determined for sodium alginate spraying concentrations ≤ 1.5% and spraying distances of 20 cm; this phenomenon can be explained with the chain ejection effect. This systematic investigation offers a basic database for industrial applications of hydrodynamic electrospray ionization. Hydrodynamic electrospray ionization jetting was applied for generating and characterizing calcium cross-linked alginate microparticles.![]()
