Abstract
The removal of excess bilirubin from blood is of great clinical importance. Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is often used to efficiently remove bilirubin. However, thin rGO pieces tend to aggregate in the aqueous phase because they are hydrophobic. In this context, we propose an effective strategy based on the chitosan-assisted (CS-assisted) dispersion of rGO to produce high-performance bilirubin-adsorbing microspheres. CS possesses a hydrophobic CH structure, which offers strong hydrophobic interactions with rGO that assist its dispersion, and the large number of hydrophilic sites of CS increases the hydrophilicity of rGO. CS serves as a dispersant in a surfactant-like manner to achieve a homogeneous and stable CS/rGO dispersion by simply and gently stirring CS and rGO in a LiOH/KOH/urea/H2O system. Subsequently, CS/rGO hybrid microspheres were prepared by emulsification. CS ensures blood compatibility as a base material, and the entrapped rGO contributes to mechanical strength and a high adsorption capacity. The CS/rGO microspheres exhibited a high bilirubin adsorption capacity (215.56 mg/g), which is significantly higher than those of the rGO and CS microspheres. The determined mass-transfer factors revealed that the rich pores of the CS/rGO microspheres promote mass transfer during bilirubin adsorption (equilibrium is almost achieved within 30 min). The CS/rGO microspheres are promising candidates for bilirubin removal owing to a combination of high strength, blood compatibility, and high adsorption capacity.

Abstract
Highly efficient adsorbents are needed to remove uremic toxins and reduce the economic and societal burden of the current dialysis treatments in resource-limited environments. In this study, nanostructured porous carbon nanofibers with nitrogen-doped zeolites (NZ-PCNF) were prepared, by electrospinning zeolites with chitosan-poly(ethylene oxide) blends, followed by a one-step carbonization process, without further activation steps or aggressive chemical additives for N-doping. The results showed that N-zeolites were successfully integrated into an ultrafine carbon nanofiber network, with a uniform nanofiber diameter of approximately 25 nm, hierarchical porous structure (micro- and mesopores), and high specific surface area (639.29 m2/g), facilitating uremic toxin diffusion and adsorption. The self-N-doped structure in the NZ-PCNF removed more creatinine (∼1.8 times) than the porous carbon nanofibers when using the same weight of precursor materials. Cytotoxicity and hemolysis tests were performed to verify the safety of NZ-PCNF. This study provides a novel strategy for transforming chitosan-based materials into state-of-the-art porous carbon nanofiber/zeolite self-N-doped composites, affording an efficient bioderived adsorbent for the removal of uremic toxins in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Biocompatible adsorbents play an essential role in hemoperfusion. Nevertheless, there are no hemoperfusion adsorbents that can simultaneously remove small and medium toxins, including bilirubin, urea, phosphor, heavy metals, and antibiotics. This bottleneck significantly impedes the miniaturization and portability of hemoperfusion materials and devices. Herein, a biocompatible protein-polysaccharide complex is reported that exhibits "multi-in-one" removal efficacy for liver and kidney metabolism wastes, toxic metal ions, and antibiotics. Through electrostatic interactions and polysaccharide-mediated coacervation, adsorbents can be prepared by simply mixing lysozyme (LZ) and sodium alginate (SA) together in seconds. The LZ/SA absorbent presented high adsorption capacities for bilirubin, urea, and Hg2+ of up to 468, 331, and 497 mg g-1 , respectively, and the excellent anti-protein adsorption endowed LZ/SA with a record-high adsorption capacity for bilirubin in the interference of serum albumin to simulate the physiological environment. The LZ/SA adsorbent also has effective adsorption capacity for heavy metals (Pb2+ , Cu2+ , Cr3+ , and Cd2+ ) and multiple antibiotics (terramycin, tetracycline, enrofloxacin, norfloxacin, roxithromycin, erythromycin, sulfapyrimidine, and sulfamethoxazole). Various adsorption functional groups exposed on the adsorbent surface significantly contribute to the excellent adsorption capacity. This fully bio-derived protein/alginate-based hemoperfusion adsorbent has great application prospects in the treatment of blood-related diseases.

Abstract
Currently, hemoperfusion is clinically the most rapid and effective treatment for removing toxins from the blood. The core of hemoperfusion is the sorbent inside the hemoperfusion device. Due to the complex composition of the blood, adsorbents tend to adsorb substances such as proteins in the blood (non-specific adsorption) while adsorbing toxins. Hyperbilirubinemia is caused by excessive levels of bilirubin in the human blood, causing irreversible damage to the patient's brain and nervous system, and even leading to death. High adsorption and high biocompatibility adsorbents with specific bilirubin adsorption are urgently needed to treat hyperbilirubinemia. Herein, poly(L-arginine) (PLA) which can specifically adsorb bilirubin, was introduced into chitin/MXene (Ch/MX) composite aerogel spheres. Ch/MX/PLA prepared by supercritical CO2 technology had higher mechanical properties than Ch/MX and can withstand 50,000 times its own weight. The in vitro simulated hemoperfusion test showed that the adsorption capacity of Ch/MX/PLA was as high as 596.31 mg/g, which was 15.38 % higher than that of Ch/MX. Binary and ternary competitive adsorption tests showed that Ch/MX/PLA also had good adsorption capacity in the presence of a variety of interfering molecules. In addition, hemolysis rate testing and CCK-8 testing confirmed that Ch/MX/PLA had better biocompatibility and hemocompatibility. Ch/MX/PLA can meet the required properties of clinical hemoperfusion sorbents and has the ability to produce mass production. It has good application potential in the clinical treatment of hyperbilirubinemia.

Abstract
The highly efficient removal of bilirubin from blood by hemoperfusion for liver failure therapy remains a challenge in the clinical field due to the low adsorption capacity and poor hemocompatibility of currently used carbon-based adsorbents. Polysaccharide-based cryogels seem to be promising candidates for hemoperfusion adsorbents owing to their inherited excellent hemocompatibility. However, the weak mechanical strength and relatively low adsorption capacity of polysaccharide-based cryogels limited their application in bilirubin adsorption. In this work, we presented a freezing-triggered strategy to fabricate QCS/MFC cryogels, which were formed by quaternized chitosan (QCS) crosslinked with divinylsulfonyl methane (BVSM) and reinforced with microfibrillated cellulose (MFC). Ice crystal exclusions triggered the chemical crosslinking to generate the cryogels with dense pore walls. The obtained QCS/MFC cryogels were characterized by FTIR, SEM, stress-strain test, and hemocompatibility assay, which exhibited interconnected macroporous structures, excellent shape-recovery and mechanical performance, and outstanding blood compatibility. Due to the quaternary ammonium functionalization of chitosan, the QCS/MFC showed a high adsorption capacity of 250 mg g-1 and a short adsorption equilibrium time of 3 h. More importantly, the QCS/MFC still exhibited high adsorption efficiency (over 49.7%) in the presence of 40 g L-1 albumin. Furthermore, the QCS/MFC could also maintain high dynamic adsorption efficiency in self-made hemoperfusion devices. This facile approach provides a new avenue to develop high-performance hemoperfusion adsorbents for bilirubin removal, showing great promise for the translational therapy of hyperbilirubinemia.

Abstract
Excess bilirubin accumulates in the bodies of patients suffering from acute liver failure (ALF) to cause much irreversible damage and bring about serious clinical symptoms such as kernicterus, hepatic coma, or even death. Hemoperfusion is a widely used method for removing bilirubin from the blood, but clinically used adsorbents have unsatisfactory adsorption capacity and kinetics. In this study, we prepared four supramolecular organic framework microcrystals SOF-1-4 via slow evaporation of their aqueous solutions under infrared light. SOF-1-4 possess good regularity and excellent stability. We demonstrate that all the four SOFs could serve as adsorbents for bilirubin with fast adsorption kinetics within 20 min and ultrahigh adsorption capacity of 609.1 mg g-1, driven by electrostatic interaction and hydrophobicity. The superior adsorption performance of the SOFs outperformed most of the reported bilirubin adsorbents. Remarkably, SOF-3 could remove about 90% of bilirubin in the presence of 40 g L-1 BSA with a minimal loss of albumin and was thus further processed to a bead-shaped composite with a diameter of 2 mm with poly(ether sulfone) (PES). This PES-loaded SOF could efficiently adsorb bilirubin to the normal level from human plasma with an adsorption equilibrium concentration of 7.8 mg L-1 in 6 h through a dynamic hemoperfusion process. This work provides a new vitality for the development of novel bilirubin adsorbents for hemoperfusion therapy.

Abstract
The hydrophobicity and inertness of the polypropylene (PP) material surface usually lead to serious biofouling and bacterial infections, which hamper its potential application as a biomedical polymer. Many strategies have been developed to improve its antifouling or antibacterial properties, yet designing a surface to achieve both antifouling and antibacterial performances simultaneously remains a challenge. Herein, we construct a dual-function micropatterned PP surface with antifouling and antibacterial properties through plasma activation, photomask technology and ultraviolet light-induced graft polymerization. Based on the antifouling agent poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphate choline) (PMPC) and the antibacterial agent quaternized poly(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (QPDMAEMA), two different micropatterning structures have been successfully prepared: PP-PMPC-QPDMAEMA in which QPDMAEMA is the micropattern and PMPC is the coating polymer, and PP-QPDMAEMA-PMPC in which PMPC is the micropattern and QPDMAEMA is the coating polymer. The composition, elemental distribution and surface morphology of PP-PMPC-QPDMAEMA and PP-QPDMAEMA-PMPC have been thoroughly characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. Compared with pristine PP, the two types of micropatterned PP films exhibit good surface hydrophilicity as characterized by water contact angle measurements. The results of anti-protein adsorption, platelet adhesion and antibacterial evaluation showed that PP-PMPC-QPDMAEMA and PP-QPDMAEMA-PMPC had good anti-protein adsorption properties, especially for lysozyme (Lyz). They can effectively prevent platelet adhesion, and the anti-platelet adhesion performance of PP-QPDMAEMA-PMPC is slightly better than that of the PP-PMPC-QPDMAEMA sample. The sterilization rate of S. aureus and E. coli is as high as 95% for the two types of micropatterned PP films. Due to the rational design of micropatterns on the PP surface, the two classes of dual-functional PP materials realize both the resistance of protein and platelet adhesion, and the killing of bacteria at the same time. We anticipate that this work could provide a design strategy for the construction of multifunctional biomedical polymer materials.

Abstract
Conventional absorbents for hemoperfusions suffer from low efficiency and slow absorption with numerous side effects. In this research, we developed cellulose acetate (CA) functionalized graphene oxide (GO) beads (∼1.5-2 mm) that can be used for direct hemoperfusion, aiming at the treatment of kidney dysfunction. The CA-functionalized GO bead facilitates adsorption of toxins with high biocompatibility and high-efficiency of hemoperfusion while maintaining high retention for red blood cell, white blood cells, and platelets. Our in vitro results show that the toxin concentration for creatinine reduced from 0.21 to 0.12 μM (p < 0.005), uric acid from 0.31 to 0.15 mM (p < 0.005), and bilirubin from 0.36 to 0.09 mM (p < 0.005), restoring to normal levels within 2 h. Our in vivo study on rats (Sprague-Dawley, n = 30) showed that the concentration for creatinine reduced from 83.23 to 54.87 μmol L-1 (p < 0.0001) and uric acid from 93.4 to 54.14 μmol L-1 (p < 0.0001), restoring to normal levels within 30 min. Results from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using free-energy calculations reveal that the presence of CA on GO increases the surface area for adsorption and enhances penetration of toxins in the binding cavities because of the increased electrostatic and van der Waals force (vdW) interactions. These results provide critical insight to fabricate graphene-based beads for hemoperfusion and to have the potential for the treatment of blood-related disease.

C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2021; 121:111879. [PMID: 33579500 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2021.111879] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2020] [Revised: 12/15/2020] [Accepted: 01/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Protein-bound uremic toxins (PBUTs), the presence of which in the blood is an important risk factor for the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), have not been cleared efficiently via traditional hemodialysis methods until now. In this study, biosafe and efficient nitrogen-containing porous carbon adsorbent (NPCA) beads for the clearance of PBUTs were prepared from porous acrylonitrile/divinylbenzene cross-linked copolymer beads followed by pyrolysis. The resulting NPCA beads were characterized via SEM, XPS and nitrogen adsorption/desorption tests. The results demonstrated that the NPCA beads possessed a mesoporous/microporous hierarchical structure with rich nitrogen functional groups on their surfaces and realized efficient PBUTs adsorption in human plasma. More importantly, the efficacy of PBUTs removal was substantially higher than those of commercial adsorbents that are commonly used in clinical uremia treatments. The NPCA beads also exhibited satisfactory removal efficacy towards middle-molecular-weight uremic toxins. The PBUTs removal mechanism of the NPCA beads is ascribed to effective competition between nitrogen-containing NPCA and proteins for PBUT binding. According to hemocompatibility assays, the NPCA beads possessed satisfactory in vitro hemocompatibility. This nitrogen-containing porous carbon adsorbent is an attractive and promising material for blood purification applications in the treatment of clinical uremia.

Abstract
Recently, carbon nanostructures are of high importance due to their unique characteristics and interesting applications. Pyrolysis of anthracene with cobalt complex Co(2,2'-bipy)Cl2 (1), where (2,2'-bipy) is 2,2'-bipyridine, in the absence and presence of silica gave in high yield cobalt-carbon nanocomposite CoCNC (2) and CoCNC@SiO2 (3) at 600 °C and 850 °C, respectively. They were characterized using SEM, TEM, PXRD, Raman and XPS. (3) and (2) contain core-shell cobalt(0)/cobalt oxide-graphite with or without silica support. PXRD indicates that (2) contains crystalline hexagonal α-Co and cubic β-Co phases while (3) contains only cubic β-Co phase and silica. The structure of (2) is 3D hierarchical carbon architecture wrapping spherical and elliptical cobalt nanoparticles. (3) consists of graphitized structures around cobalt nanoparticles embedded in the silica matrix. XPS reveals that the nanocomposites contain oxygen functional groups that enhance uptake of cationic dyes. CoCNC@SiO2 (3) has higher capacity and thus is better adsorbent of Basic Violet 3 than CoCNC (2). The Langmuir adsorption capacity of (3) is 19.4 mg g-1 while column capacity is 12.55 mg g-1 at 25 °C. Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models fit well the adsorption data. Thermodynamics indicate that adsorption(3) is exothermic. Column regeneration was tested for three cycles and Yan et al. was found the best kinetic model.

Abstract
In this study, bacterial cellulose (BC)/soy protein isolate (SPI) composite membranes were prepared by in situ cross-linked polymerization, and used as efficient blood compatible adsorbents to remove bilirubin. The obtained composite membranes were successively characterized by FTIR, SEM, AFM, contact angle test and hemolysis assay, which exhibited unique protein coated 3D fibrous network structures, hydrophobic surfaces and outstanding blood compatibility due to the incorporation of SPI. The BC/SPI membranes with high SPI content showed high adsorption efficiency, short adsorption equilibrium time (2 h) and multiple adsorption effects on bilirubin. The adsorption rate for free bilirubin of BC/SPI5 membrane could reach 78.8% when the bilirubin concentration was 100 mg L-1, while it increased to over 96.5% when the initial bilirubin concentration exceeded 400 mg L-1. More importantly, the BC/SPI5 membrane still exhibited high adsorption rate (over 70%) in presence of albumin. Furthermore, the composite membrane could also maintain high dynamic adsorption efficiency in self-made hemoperfusion devices. This novel naturally-derived membrane is an economical and efficient absorbent for the remove of bilirubin, and will provide new ideas for therapy of hemoperfusion without plasma separation process.
