Abstract
Hydrogel-based depots typically tend to remain where injected and have excellent biocompatibility but are relatively poor at controlling drug release. Nanoparticles (NPs) typically have the opposite properties. The smaller the NPs are, the more likely they are to leave the site of injection. Their biocompatibility is variable depending on the material but can be poor. However, NPs can be good at controlling drug release. In these and other properties, combining NPs and hydrogels can leverage their advantages and negate their disadvantages. This review highlights the rationale for hybrid NP-hydrogel systems in drug delivery, the basic methods of producing them, and examples where combining the two systems addressed specific problems.

Abstract
Local intraperitoneal drug administration is considered a challenging drug delivery route. The therapeutic efficiency is low, mainly due to rapid clearance of drugs. To increase the intraperitoneal retention time of specific drugs, a pH-sensitive supramolecular hydrogel that can act as a drug delivery vehicle is developed. To establish the optimal formulation of the hydrogel and to study its feasibility, safety, and tissue compatibility, in vitro, postmortem, and in vivo experiments are performed. In vitro tests reveal that a hydrogelator formulation with pH ≥ 9 results in a constant viscosity of 0.1 Pa·s. After administration postmortem, the hydrogel covers the parietal and visceral peritoneum with a thin, soft layer. In the subsequent in vivo experiments, 14 healthy rats are subjected to intraperitoneal injection with the hydrogel. Fourteen and 28 days after implantation, the animals are euthanized. Intraperitoneal exposure to the hydrogel is not resulted in significant weight loss or discomfort. Moreover, no macroscopic adverse effects or signs of organ damage are detected. In several intra-abdominal tissues, vacuolated macrophages are found indicating a physiological degradation of the synthetic hydrogel. This study demonstrates that the supramolecular hydrogel is safe for intraperitoneal application and that the hydrogel shows good tissue compatibility in rats.

Abstract
Platinum-based drugs are widely used as first-line anti-tumor chemotherapy agents. However, they also have nonnegligible side effects due to the free drugs in circulation. Therefore, it is necessary to develop efficient and safe delivery systems for better tumor cell targeting. Hydrogel is a promising anti-tumor drug carrier that can form a platinum/hydrogel combination system for drug release, which has shown better anti-tumor effects in some studies. However, there is a lack of systematic summary in this field. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the platinum/hydrogel combination system with the following sections: firstly, an introduction of platinum-based drugs; secondly, an analysis of the platinum/hydrogel combination system; and thirdly, a discussion of the advantages of the hydrogel-based delivery system. We hope this review can offer some insights for the development of the platinum/hydrogel combination system for better cancer therapy.

Abstract
Nanogels represent promising drug delivery systems in the biomedical field, designed to overcome challenges associated with standard treatment approaches. Stimuli-responsive nanogels, often referred to as intelligent materials, have garnered significant attention for their potential to enhance control over properties such as drug release and targeting. Furthermore, researchers have recently explored the application of nanogels in diverse sectors beyond biomedicine including sensing materials, catalysts, or adsorbents for environmental applications. However, to fully harness their potential as practical delivery systems, further research is required to better understand their pharmacokinetic behaviour, interactions between nanogels and bio distributions, as well as toxicities. One promising future application of stimuli-responsive multifunctional nanogels is their use as delivery agents in cancer treatment, offering an alternative to overcome the challenges with conventional approaches. This review discusses various synthetic methods employed in developing nanogels as efficient carriers for drug delivery in cancer treatment. The investigations explore, the key aspects of nanogels, including their multifunctionality and stimuli-responsive properties, as well as associated toxicity concerns. The discussions presented herein aim to provide the readers a comprehensive understanding of the potential of nanogels as smart drug delivery systems in the context of cancer therapy.

A state-of-art of underlying molecular mechanisms and pharmacological interventions/nanotherapeutics for cisplatin resistance in gastric cancer. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 166:115337.

Abstract
The fourth common reason of death among patients is gastric cancer (GC) and it is a dominant tumor type in Ease Asia. One of the problems in GC therapy is chemoresistance. Cisplatin (CP) is a platinum compound that causes DNA damage in reducing tumor progression and viability of cancer cells. However, due to hyperactivation of drug efflux pumps, dysregulation of genes and interactions in tumor microenvironment, tumor cells can develop resistance to CP chemotherapy. The current review focuses on the CP resistance emergence in GC cells with emphasizing on molecular pathways, pharmacological compounds for reversing chemoresistance and the role of nanostructures. Changes in cell death mechanisms such as upregulation of pro-survival autophagy can prevent CP-mediated apoptosis that results in drug resistance. Moreover, increase in metastasis via EMT induction induces CP resistance. Dysregulation of molecular pathways such as PTEN, PI3K/Akt, Nrf2 and others result in changes in CP response of GC cells. Non-coding RNAs determine CP response of GC cells and application of pharmacological compounds with activity distinct of CP can result in sensitivity in tumor cells. Due to efficacy of exosomes in transferring bioactive molecules such as RNA and DNA molecules among GC cells, exosomes can also result in CP resistance. One of the newest progresses in overcoming CP resistance in GC is application of nanoplatforms for delivery of CP in GC therapy that they can increase accumulation of CP at tumor site and by suppressing carcinogenic factors and overcoming biological barriers, they increase CP toxicity on cancer cells.

Abstract
Peritoneal metastasis is a malignant disease which originated from several gastrointestinal and gynecological carcinomas and has been leading to a suffering condition in patients for decades. Currently, as people have gradually become more aware of the severity of peritoneal carcinomatosis, new molecular mechanisms for targeting and new treatments have been proposed. However, due to the uncertainty of influencing factors involved and a lack of a standardized procedure for this treatment, as well as a need for more clinical data for specific evaluation, more research is needed, both for preventing and treating. We aim to summarize backgrounds, mechanisms and treatments in this area and conclude limitations or new aspects for treatments.

A Simple Preparation Method of Gelatin Hydrogels Incorporating Cisplatin for Sustained Release. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14122601.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to develop a new preparation method for cisplatin (CDDP)-incorporated gelatin hydrogels without using chemical crosslinking nor a vacuum heating instrument for dehydrothermal crosslinking. By simply mixing CDDP and gelatin, CDDP-crosslinked gelatin hydrogels (CCGH) were prepared. CDDP functions as a crosslinking agent of gelatin to form the gelatin hydrogel. Simultaneously, CDDP is incorporated into the gelatin hydrogel as a controlled release carrier. CDDP's in vitro and in vivo anticancer efficacy after incorporation into CCGH was evaluated. In the in vitro system, the CDDP was released gradually due to CCGH degradation with an initial burst release of approximately 16%. CDDP metal-coordinated with the degraded fragment of gelatin was released from CCGH with maintaining the anticancer activity. After intraperitoneal administration of CCGH, CDDP was detected in the blood circulation while its toxicity was low. Following intraperitoneal administration of CCGH in a murine peritoneal dissemination model of human gastric cancer MKN45-Luc cell line, the survival time was significantly prolonged compared with free CDDP solution. It is concluded that CCGH prepared by the CDDP-based crosslinking of gelatin is an excellent sustained release system of CDDP to achieve superior anticancer effects with minimal side effects compared with free CDDP solution.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal cancer (GIC) is a common malignant tumour of the digestive system that seriously threatens human health. Due to the unique organ structure of the gastrointestinal tract, endoscopic and MRI diagnoses of GIC in the clinic share the problem of low sensitivity. The ineffectiveness of drugs and high recurrence rates in surgical and drug therapies are the main factors that impact the curative effect in GIC patients. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve diagnostic accuracies and treatment efficiencies. Nanotechnology is widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of GIC by virtue of its unique size advantages and extensive modifiability. In the diagnosis and treatment of clinical GIC, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanoparticles, electrochemical nanobiosensors and magnetic nanoparticles, intraoperative imaging nanoparticles, drug delivery systems and other multifunctional nanoparticles have successfully improved the diagnosis and treatment of GIC. It is important to further improve the coordinated development of nanotechnology and GIC diagnosis and treatment. Herein, starting from the clinical diagnosis and treatment of GIC, this review summarizes which nanotechnologies have been applied in clinical diagnosis and treatment of GIC in recent years, and which cannot be applied in clinical practice. We also point out which challenges must be overcome by nanotechnology in the development of the clinical diagnosis and treatment of GIC and discuss how to quickly and safely combine the latest nanotechnology developed in the laboratory with clinical applications. Finally, we hope that this review can provide valuable reference information for researchers who are conducting cross-research on GIC and nanotechnology.

Abstract
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is one of the intractable cancers that require a more effective therapeutic strategy for clinical practice. Hyaluronic acid (HA) nanogels were prepared by the chelation of cisplatin (CDDP) with different molecular weights of iminodiacetic acid-conjugated hyaluronic acid (HA-IDA). The sizes of the 100, 850, and 2000 kDa HA nanogels were 33, 43, and 44 nm, respectively. MSTO-211H, a human MPM cell line, was more effective in taking up all three HA nanogels compared to AB22, a mouse MPM cell line. In addition, the 850 kDa HA nanogel showed higher anticancer activity against AB22 and MSTO-211H than 100 and 2000 kDa HA nanogels. Furthermore, all the HA nanogels showed a milder cytotoxic effect on normal Met-5A mesothelial cells compared to that exhibited by free CDDP. Finally, the 850 kDa HA nanogel was administrated intrapleurally into both the MSTO-211H xenograft and AB22 allograft mouse models of MPM using an injectable HA-based hydrogel. HA nanogels showed a significant therapeutic effect in both the xenograft and allograft models.

Abstract
Intraperitoneal chemotherapy demonstrates potential applicability in the treatment of peritoneally disseminated ovarian cancer because the disseminated tumors can directly receive exposure to high concentrations of anticancer drugs. However, a considerable proportion of drugs, particularly micromolecular and hydrophilic drugs, such as cisplatin (CDDP), are often excreted through glomerular filtration for a short period. To effectively deliver CDDP into peritoneally disseminated ovarian cancer tissues, we developed an alginate (AL)-based hybrid system in which a CDDP-loaded AL nanogel (AL/CDDP-nanogel) was encapsulated in an injectable AL-hydrogel cross-linked with calcium ions. This system enabled the sustained release of CDDP from the AL/CDDP-nanogel/AL-hydrogel hybrid for over a week. Herein, we constructed a peritoneally disseminated ovarian cancer mouse model using ovarian cancer cell lines with KRAS mutations (ID8-KRAS: KRASG12V). The AL/CDDP-nanogel/AL-hydrogel hybrid system showed significant antitumor activity in vivo. This therapy may be considered a novel strategy for the treatment of advanced-stage ovarian cancer with KRAS mutations.

Among various virulence-targeting therapies, nanosponges (NSs) have excellent neutralization effects on multiple PFTs. To enhance treatment efficacy, NSs tend to be incorporated into other biomaterials, such as hydrogels. METHODS In the present work, red blood cell (RBC) vesicles were harvested to wrap polymer nanoparticles, leading to the formation of NSs, and the optimal Pluronic F127 hydrogel concentration was determined for gelation. Then, a novel detoxification system was constructed by incorporating NSs into an optimized Pluronic F127 hydrogel (NS-pGel). Next, the system was characterized by rheological and sustained release behavior as well as micromorphology. Then, the in vitro neutralization effect of NS-pGel on various PFTs was examined by a hemolysis protocol. Finally, therapeutic and prophylactic detoxification efficiency was evaluated in a mouse subcutaneous infection model in vivo. RESULTS A thermosensitive, injectable detoxification system was successfully constructed by loading NSs into a 30% Pluronic F127 hydrogel. Characterization results demonstrated that the NS-pGel hybrid system sustained an ideal fluidity and viscosity at lower temperatures but exhibited a quick sol-gel transition capacity near body temperature. In addition, this hybrid system had a sustained release behavior accompanied by good biocompatibility and biodegradability. Finally, the NS-pGel system showed neutralization effects similar to those of NSs both in vitro and in vivo, indicating a good preservation of NS functionality. CONCLUSION In conclusion, we constructed a novel temperature-sensitive detoxification system with good biocompatibility and biodegradability, which may be applied to the clinical treatment of PFT-induced local lesions and infections.

Abstract
The discovery of paclitaxel (PTX) has been a milestone in anti-cancer therapy and has promoted the development and marketing of various formulations that have revolutionized the therapeutic approach towards several malignancies. Despite its peculiar anti-cancer activity, the physico-chemical properties of PTX compromise the administration of the compound in polar media. Because of this, since the development of the first Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved formulation (Taxol®), consistent efforts have been made to obtain suitable delivery systems able to preserve/increase PTX efficacy and to overcome the side effects correlated to the presence of some excipients. The exploitation of natural polymers as potential materials for drug delivery purposes has favored the modulation of the bioavailability and the pharmacokinetic profiles of the drug, and in this regard, several formulations have been developed that allow the controlled release of the active compound. In this mini-review, the recent advances concerning the design and applications of natural polymer-based hydrogels containing PTX-loaded biocompatible nanocarriers are discussed. The technological features of these formulations as well as the therapeutic outcome achieved following their administration will be described, demonstrating their potential role as innovative systems to be used in anti-tumor therapy.

Abstract
Introduction: In selected patients with limited peritoneal metastasis (PM), favorable tumor biology, and a good clinical condition, there is an indication for combination of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and subsequent intravenous (IV) or intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy. Compared with IV injection, IP therapy can achieve a high drug concentration within the peritoneal cavity with low systemic toxicity, however, the clinical application of IP chemotherapy is limited by the related abdominal pain, infection, and intolerance.Areas covered:To improve the anti-tumor efficacy and safety of IP therapy, various pharmaceutical strategies have been developed and show promising potential. This review discusses the specialized modification of traditional drug delivery systems and demonstrates the preparation of customized drug carriers for IP therapy, including chemotherapy and gene therapy. IP therapy has important clinical significance in the treatment of PM using novel anti-tumor agents as well as conventional drugs in new applications.Expert opinion: Although IP therapy exhibits good performance both in mouse models and in patients with PM in clinical trials, its clinical application remains limited due to the serious side effects and low acceptability. Further investigations, including pharmaceutical strategies, are needed to develop potential IP therapy, focusing on the efficacy and safety thereof.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one kind of the most lethal malignancies worldwide, owing to its insidious symptoms, early metastases, and negative responses to current therapies. With an increasing understanding of pathology, the tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a significant role in ineffective treatment and poor prognosis of PC. Thus, a growing number of studies have focused on whether components of the TME could be effective targets for PC therapy. Biomaterials have been widely applied in cancer therapy, and numerous organic or inorganic biomaterials for TME regulation have been developed to inhibit the growth and metastasis of PC, as well as reverse therapeutic resistance. In this review, we discuss various biomaterials utilized to treat PC based on different components of the TME, including, but not limited to, extracellular matrix (ECM), abnormal tumor vascularization, and tumor-associated immune cells, as well as other unconventional therapeutic strategies. Besides, the perspectives on the underlying future of theranostic nanomedicines for PC therapy are also presented.

Abstract
Drug-loaded, PEGylated, organic-modified silica (ORMOSIL) nanoparticles prepared by microemulsion condensation of vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) were investigated as potential nanovectors for cancer therapy. To target cancer stem cells, anti-CD44v6 antibody and hyaluronic acid (HA) were conjugated to amine-functionalized PEGylated ORMOSIL nanoparticles through thiol-maleimide and amide coupling chemistries, respectively. Specific binding and uptake of conjugated nanoparticles were studied on cells overexpressing the CD44v6 receptor. Cytotoxicity was subsequently evaluated in the same cells after the uptake of the nanoparticles. Internalization of nanocarriers loaded with the anticancer drug 3N-cyclopropylmethyl-7-phenyl-pyrrolo- quinolinone (MG2477) into cells resulted in a substantial increase of the cytotoxicity with respect to the free formulation. Targeting with anti-CD44v6 antibodies or HA yielded nanoparticles with similar effectiveness, in their optimized formulation.

Abstract
Introduction: Peritoneal metastases of cancer remain a major cause of an adverse outcome and death following surgical treatment of malignancies that occur within the abdomen and pelvis. The administration of a chemotherapy solution directly into the peritoneal space has been used to improve the survival in this group of patients.Areas covered: Relevant manuscripts from my own publications and identified through Medline and PubMed were reviewed if they concerned neoadjuvant intraperitoneal and systemic chemotherapy (NIPS), hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC), normothermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (NIPEC). The pharmacologic information that will impact on the efficacy of intraperitoneal chemotherapy administration was also reviewed.Expert opinion: The four major technologies for obtaining peritoneal access of cancer chemotherapy to peritoneal metastases were studied. The differences in distribution of chemotherapy solution, in selection of chemotherapy agents to be delivered, and variations in delivery systems were presented and critically analyzed. The most obvious benefits of combined cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy have been demonstrated with appendiceal mucinous neoplasms and malignant peritoneal mesothelioma. Continued efforts with new intraperitoneal chemotherapy agents and methods of drug delivery continue for ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, and gastric cancer.

Abstract
The interest in injectable hydrogels for cancer treatment has been significantly growing over the last decade, due to the availability of a wide range of starting polymer structures with tailored features and high chemical versatility. Many research groups are working on the development of highly engineered injectable delivery vehicle systems suitable for combined chemo-and radio-therapy, as well as thermal and photo-thermal ablation, with the aim of finding out effective solutions to overcome the current obstacles of conventional therapeutic protocols. Within this work, we have reviewed and discussed the most recent injectable hydrogel systems, focusing on the structure and properties of the starting polymers, which are mainly classified into natural or synthetic sources. Moreover, mapping the research landscape of the fabrication strategies, the main outcome of each system is discussed in light of possible clinical applications.

Abstract
The local delivery of therapeutics in a long-term sustained manner at tumor sites is attractive for the therapy of gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis. In this manuscript, an injectable hydrogel-encapsulating paclitaxel-loaded red blood cell membrane nanoparticles (PRNP-gel) is designed on the basis of temperature-induced phase transition of polyethylene-glycol-modified bovine serum albumin (PEG-BSA). Dynamic light scattering, ζ potential, and electron microscopy were utilized to characterize the nanoparticle-hydrogel hybrid system. It was found that the PRNP had a spherical morphology with a diameter of about 133 nm and negative surface potential. The drug loading efficiency and loading content are 85% and 22%, respectively. In situ gelation occurred within 12 min when the gel precursor was incubated at 37 °C or injected subcutaneously. The in-situ-forming hydrogel showed a sustained release profile, and the cumulative release of PTX was ∼30% after 6 days. The PRNP-gel exhibited high cytocompatibility and biodegradability in vitro and in vivo. This nanoparticle-hydrogel hybrid system is applied as a drug carrier for local chemotherapy to enhance therapeutic levels at tumor site and reduce the systemic toxicity. In vivo antitumor evaluation within a subcutaneous xenograft and peritoneal dissemination model showed that the hydrogel possesses good tumor growth suppression properties after a single injection. Hence, the as-prepared injectable hydrogel system could be a promising candidate for the local delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs.

Abstract
Current surgical treatment for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) must be as precise as possible to fully resect tumors and preserve functional tissues. Thus, it is urgent to develop efficient fluorescent probes to clearly identify tumor delineation, as well as metastatic lymph nodes. Chemo-photothermal therapy combination attracted a growing attention to increase anti-tumor effect in various types of cancer, including OSCC. In the present study, we designed a multimodal NIR-II probe that involves combining photothermal therapy with chemotherapy, imaging OSCC tumors and detecting metastatic lymph nodes. Methods: In this study, we synthesized a novel near infrared (NIR)-II probe named TQTPA [4,4'-((6,7-bis(4-(hexyloxy)phenyl)-[1,2,5]thiadiazolo [3,4-g]quinoxaline-4,9-diyl)bis(thiophene-5,2-diyl))bis(N,N-diphenylaniline)] via the Suzuki reaction and prepared multimodal nanoparticles (NPs) loading TQTPA and cis-dichlorodiammine platinum (CDDP) (HT@CDDP) by hyaluronic acid. The characteristics of the NPs, including their photothermal and imaging capabilities were investigated in vitro and in vivo. Their anti-tumor efficacy was evaluated using orthotopic, tongue tumor-bearing, nude mice. Results: The NPs possessed good stability and water solubility and were pH/hyaluronidase sensitive. The good tissue penetration quality and active targeting ability enabled the NPs to draw the outline of orthotopic tongue tumors and metastatic lymph nodes as small as 1 mm in nude mice by IR-808 under NIR exposure. In vitro and in vivo experiments validated the biocompatibility and low systematic toxicity of the NPs. At the same time, the NPs acted as multimodal therapy agents, combining photothermal therapy with chemotherapy. Conclusion: With a good imaging capability and anti-tumor efficacy, our NPs successfully outlined orthotopic tongue tumors and metastatic lymph nodes as well as enabled chemo-photothermal therapy combination. Our study established a solid foundation for the application of new clinical diagnosis and treatment patterns in the future.

Abstract
In patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases (PM), the use of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and HIPEC with oxaliplatin (OX) is increasingly used. The results of the recently reported randomized Prodige 7 trial failed to show a difference in overall survival between patients undergoing CRS alone versus CRS combined with HIPEC using high dose OX. The trial was not designed or powered, however, to detect a potentially clinically meaningful benefit in locoregional disease control. Here, I address some potential explanations for the lack of benefit in the Prodige 7 trial, including OX efficacy issues, adverse effects of intraperitoneal high dose glucose, and potential drawbacks of the use of hyperthermia.

Abstract
Janus particles are emerging as structurally unique drug carriers with the potential to deliver multiple drugs and agents. Although synthesis methods have been extensively explored to fabricate Janus particles, it remains a challenge to generate drug-loaded Janus particles through an economical, high throughput technique. Here, we report the formation of the first drug-loaded, micro-scale Janus particles prepared using a single-step emulsion solvent evaporation approach. Our results revealed that both the net charge of drug molecules (i.e. glibenclamide, tolbutamine, rapamycin and lidocaine) and polymer weight ratio (i.e. poly(lactic-co-glycolic) and polycaprolactone) were critical in determining the formation of Janus particles. The formation of drug-loaded Janus particles was proven to be thermodynamically-driven in accordance to the classical equilibrium spreading coefficient theory, which is strongly governed by interfacial tensions. Specifically, comparable interfacial tensions between the two interacting polymers with the water phase were identified to be key criteria to achieve the Janus particles hemispheric structure. Such interfacial tensions were amenable, and were found to be highly dependent on the interfacial charge density attributed to both drug and polymer ratio. Hereby, this study provides a mechanistic insight into the fabrication of drug-loaded Janus particles and paves an important path towards large-scale production of Janus particles using a simplified, single-step emulsion solvent evaporation strategy.
