Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) immunotherapy has become a heated field of cancer research, demonstrating revolutionary efficacy in refractory and relapsed hematologic malignancies. However, CAR-T therapy has still encountered tough challenges, including complicated and lengthy manufacturing procedures, mediocre targeted delivery, limited therapeutic effect against solid tumors and difficulties in real-time in vivo monitoring. To overcome these limitations, various versatile biomaterials have been used in the above aspects and have improved CAR-T therapy impressively. This review mainly summarizes the latest research progress of biomaterials promoting CAR-T therapy in manufacturing, enhancing targeted delivery and tumor infiltration, and dramatic in vivo tracking to provide new insights and inspiration for clinical treatment.

Uni-directional release of ibuprofen from an asymmetric fibrous membrane enables effective peritendinous anti-adhesion. J Control Release 2024; 372:251-264. [PMID: 38908755 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2024.06.046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2023] [Revised: 05/31/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/24/2024]
Abstract
Drug-loaded porous membranes have been deemed to be effective physicochemical barriers to separate postoperative adhesion-prone tissues in tendon healing. However, cell viability and subsequent tissue regeneration might be severely interfered with the unrestricted release and the locally excessive concentration of anti-inflammatory drugs. Herein, we report a double-layered membrane with sustained and uni-directional drug delivery features to prevent peritendinous adhesion without hampering the healing outcome. A vortex-assisted electrospinning system in combination with ibuprofen (IBU)-in-water emulsion was utilized to fabricate IBU-loaded poly-ʟ-lactic-acid (PLLA) fiber bundle membrane (PFB-IBU) as the anti-adhesion layer. The resultant highly porous structure, oleophilic and hydrophobic nature of PLLA fibers enabled in situ loading of IBU with a concentration gradient across the membrane thickness. Aligned collagen nanofibers were further deposited at the low IBU concentration side of the membrane for regulating cell growth and achieving uni-directional release of IBU. Drug release kinetics showed that the release amount of IBU from the high concentration side reached 79.32% at 14 d, while it was only 0.35% at the collagen side. Therefore, fibroblast proliferation at the high concentration side was successfully inhibited without affecting the oriented growth of tendon-derived stem cells at the other side. In vivo evaluation of the rat Achilles adhesion model confirmed the successful peritendinous anti-adhesion of our double-layered membrane, in that the macrophage recruitment, the inflammatory factor secretion and the deposition of pathological adhesion markers such as α-SMA and COL-III were all inhibited, which greatly improved the peritendinous fibrosis and restored the motor function of tendon.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis is a devastating orthopedic disease in clinic that generally occurs in the femoral head associating with corticosteroid use up to 49 % in patients. In particular, glucocorticoids induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head is closely related to the local immune response that characterized by abnormal macrophage activation and inflammatory cell infiltration at the necrotic site, forming a pro-inflammatory microenvironment dominated by M1 macrophages, and thus leads to failure of bone repair and regeneration. Here, we report a bone regeneration strategy that constructs an immune regulatory biomaterial platform using an injectable thiolated hyaluronic acid hydrogel with lithium-doped nano-hydroxyapatite (Li-nHA@Gel) delivery for osteonecrosis treatment. Li-nHA@Gel achieved a sustain and longterm release of Li ions, which might enhance M2 macrophage polarization through the activation of the JAK1/STAT6/STAT3 signaling pathway, and the following induced pro-repair immune microenvironment mediated the enhancement of the osteogenic and angiogenic differentiation. Moreover, both in vitro and in vivo studies indicated that Li-nHA@Gel enhanced M2 macrophage polarization, osteogenesis, and angiogenesis, and thus promoted the bone and blood vessel formation. Taken together, this novel bone immunomodulatory biomaterial platform that promotes bone regeneration by enhancing M2 macrophage polarization, osteogenesis, and angiogenesis could be a promising strategy for osteonecrosis treatment.

Abstract
Autoimmune disorders have risen to be among the most prevalent chronic diseases across the globe, affecting approximately 5-7% of the population. As autoimmune diseases steadily rise in prevalence, so do the number of potential therapeutic strategies to combat them. In recent years, fundamental research investigating autoimmune pathologies has led to the emergence of several cellular targets that provide new therapeutic opportunities. However, key challenges persist in terms of accessing and specifically combating the dysregulated, self-reactive cells while avoiding systemic immune suppression and other off-target effects. Fortunately, the continued advancement of nanomedicines may provide strategies to address these challenges and bring innovative autoimmunity therapies to the clinic. Through precise engineering and rational design, nanomedicines can possess a variety of physicochemical properties, surface modifications, and cargoes, allowing for specific targeting of therapeutics to pathological cell and organ types. These advances in nanomedicine have been demonstrated in cancer therapies and have the broad potential to advance applications in autoimmunity therapies as well. In this review, we focus on leveraging the power of nanomedicine for prevalent autoimmune disorders throughout the body. We expand on three key areas for the development of autoimmunity therapies - avoiding systemic immunosuppression, balancing interactions with the immune system, and elevating current platforms for delivering complex cargoes - and emphasize how nanomedicine-based strategies can overcome these barriers and enable the development of next-generation, clinically relevant autoimmunity therapies.

Abstract
Skin wounds significantly impact the global health care system and represent a significant burden on the economy and society due to their complicated dynamic healing processes, wherein a series of immune events are required to coordinate normal and sequential healing phases, involving multiple immunoregulatory cells such as neutrophils, macrophages, keratinocytes, and fibroblasts, since dysfunction of these cells may impede skin wound healing presenting persisting inflammation, impaired vascularization, and excessive collagen deposition. Therefore, cellular target-based immunomodulation is promising to promote wound healing as cells are the smallest unit of life in immune response. Recently, immunomodulatory hydrogels have become an attractive avenue to promote skin wound healing. However, a detailed and comprehensive review of cellular targets and related hydrogel design strategies remains lacking. In this review, the roles of the main immunoregulatory cells participating in skin wound healing are first discussed, and then we highlight the cellular targets and state-of-the-art design strategies for immunomodulatory hydrogels based on immunoregulatory cells that cover defect, infected, diabetic, burn and tumor wounds and related scar healing. Finally, we discuss the barriers that need to be addressed and future prospects to boost the development and prosperity of immunomodulatory hydrogels.

Abstract
Bacterial cystitis, a commonly occurring urinary tract infection (UTI), is renowned for its extensive prevalence and tendency to recur. Despite the extensive utilization of levofloxacin as a conventional therapeutic approach for bacterial cystitis, its effectiveness is impeded by adverse toxic effects, drug resistance concerns, and its influence on the gut microbiota. This study introduces Lev@PADM, a hydrogel with antibacterial properties that demonstrates efficacy in the treatment of bacterial cystitis. Lev@PADM is produced by combining levofloxacin with decellularized porcine acellular dermal matrix hydrogel and exhibits remarkable biocompatibility. Lev@PADM demonstrates excellent stability as a hydrogel at body temperature, enabling direct administration to the site of infection through intravesical injection. This localized delivery route circumvents the systemic circulation of levofloxacin, resulting in a swift and substantial elevation of the antimicrobial agent's concentration specifically at the site of infection. The in vivo experimental findings provide evidence that Lev@PADM effectively prolongs the duration of levofloxacin's action, impedes the retention and invasion of E.coli in the urinary tract, diminishes the infiltration of innate immune cells into infected tissues, and simultaneously preserves the composition of the intestinal microbiota. These results indicate that, in comparison to the exclusive administration of levofloxacin, Lev@PADM offers notable benefits in terms of preserving the integrity of the bladder epithelial barrier and suppressing the recurrence of urinary tract infections.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disease predominantly based on joint lesions with an extremely high disability and deformity rate. Several drugs have been used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, but their use is limited by suboptimal bioavailability, serious adverse effects, and nonnegligible first-pass effects. In contrast, transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDSs) can avoid these drawbacks and improve patient compliance, making them a promising option for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Of course, TDDSs also face unique challenges, as the physiological barrier of the skin makes drug delivery somewhat limited. To overcome this barrier and maximize drug delivery efficiency, TDDSs have evolved in terms of the principle of transdermal facilitation and transdermal facilitation technology, and different generations of TDDSs have been derived, which have significantly improved transdermal efficiency and even achieved individualized controlled drug delivery. In this review, we summarize the different generations of transdermal drug delivery systems, the corresponding transdermal strategies, and their applications in the treatment of RA.

Abstract
The imbalance of the immune system can lead to the occurrence of autoimmune diseases. Controlling and regulating the proliferation and function of effector T (Teff) cells and regulatory T (Treg) cells becomes the key to treating these diseases. Dendritic cells (DCs), as dedicated antigen-presenting cells, play a key role in inducing the differentiation of naive CD4+ T cells. In this study, we designed a cationic lipid-assisted PEG-PLGA nanoparticle (NPs/VD3/siLkb1) to deliver 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (VD3) and small interfering RNA (siRNA) to DC cells in the draining lymph nodes. By modulating the phenotypic changes of DC cells, this approach expands Treg cells and reduces the occurrence of autoimmune diseases. Thus, this study provides a novel approach to alleviating the occurrence and development of autoimmune diseases while also minimizing the risk of unwanted complications.

Exosomes-loaded electroconductive nerve dressing for nerve regeneration and pain relief against diabetic peripheral nerve injury. Bioact Mater 2023; 26:194-215. [PMID: 36923267 PMCID: PMC10008840 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2023.02.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Revised: 02/10/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2023] [Indexed: 03/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Over the years, electroconductive hydrogels (ECHs) have been extensively applied for stimulating nerve regeneration and restoring locomotor function after peripheral nerve injury (PNI) with diabetes, given their favorable mechanical and electrical properties identical to endogenous nerve tissue. Nevertheless, PNI causes the loss of locomotor function and inflammatory pain, especially in diabetic patients. It has been established that bone marrow stem cells-derived exosomes (BMSCs-Exos) have analgesic, anti-inflammatory and tissue regeneration properties. Herein, we designed an ECH loaded with BMSCs-Exos (ECH-Exos) electroconductive nerve dressing to treat diabetic PNI to achieve functional recovery and pain relief. Given its potent adhesive and self-healing properties, this laminar dressing is convenient for the treatment of damaged nerve fibers by automatically wrapping around them to form a size-matched tube-like structure, avoiding the cumbersome implantation process. Our in vitro studies showed that ECH-Exos could facilitate the attachment and migration of Schwann cells. Meanwhile, Exos in this system could modulate M2 macrophage polarization via the NF-κB pathway, thereby attenuating inflammatory pain in diabetic PNI. Additionally, ECH-Exos enhanced myelinated axonal regeneration via the MEK/ERK pathway in vitro and in vivo, consequently ameliorating muscle denervation atrophy and further promoting functional restoration. Our findings suggest that the ECH-Exos system has huge prospects for nerve regeneration, functional restoration and pain relief in patients with diabetic PNI.

Abstract
Local reconstruction of a permissive environment with biomaterials is a promising strategy to treat spinal cord injury (SCI). We reported a hybrid hydrogel fabricated from a small functional self-assembling peptide (F-SAP) and large silk fibroin (SF). The diffusion of SF micelles into F-SAP solution was driven by the dynamic synergy between osmotic pressure and F-SAP/SF electrostatic interactions, resulting in the rearrangement of SF micelles and the formation of rod-like filaments with axes nearly perpendicular to F-SAP nanofibers. Spectroscopy analysis, including circular dichroism, Raman and fluorescence, indicated conformation changes of SF from random coil to β sheet, which contributed to enhanced mechanical properties of the resultant hybrid hydrogel. Furthermore, the F-SAP/SF hybrid hydrogel coupled with controlled release of NT-3 provided a permissive environment for neural regeneration by providing nanofibrous substrates for regenerating axons, inflammatory modulation and remyelination, consequently resulting in improved locomotion and electrophysiological properties. This hydrogel could be used as a long-term stent in vivo for the treatment of SCI.

Abstract
Cellulose nanocrystal and gold nanoparticles are assembled, in a unique way, to yield a novel modular glyconanomaterial whose surface is then easily engineered with one or two different headgroups, by exploiting a robust click chemistry route. We demonstrate the potential of this approach by conjugating monosaccharide headgroups to the glyconanomaterial and show that the sugars retain their binding capability to C-type lectin receptors, as also directly visualized by cryo-TEM.

Abstract
The immune system takes part in most physiological and pathological processes of the body, including the occurrence and development of cancer. Immunotherapy provides a promising modality for inhibition and even the cure of cancer. During immunotherapy, the immunogenic cell death (ICD) of tumor cells induced by chemotherapy, radiotherapy, phototherapy, bioactive materials, and so forth, triggers a series of cellular responses by causing the release of tumor-associated antigens and damage-associated molecular patterns, which ultimately activate innate and adaptive immune responses. Among them, the ICD-induced biomaterials attract increasing conditions as a benefit of biosafety and multifunctional modifications. This Review summarizes the research progress in biomaterials for inducing ICD via triggering endoplasmic reticulum oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cell membrane rupture and discusses the application prospects of ICD-inducing biomaterials in clinical practice for cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Achyranthes plays the role of dredging the meridians and clearing the joints with a certain anti-inflammatory effect, peripheral analgesic activity and central analgesic activity. A novel self-assembled nanoparticles containing Celastrol (Cel) with matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-sensitive chemotherapy-sonodynamic therapy was fabricated targeting macrophages at the inflammatory site of rheumatoid arthritis. Dextran sulfate (DS) with highly expressed SR-A receptor on the surface of macrophages is used to specifically target the site of inflammation; by introducing PVGLIG enzyme-sensitive polypeptides and ROS-responsive bonds, it can achieve the desired effect on MMP-2/9 and reactive oxygen species at the joint site. The preparation forms DS-PVGLIG-Cel&Abps-thioketal-Cur@Cel nanomicelles, referred to as D&A@Cel. The resulting micelles had an average size of 204.8 nm and the zeta potential -16.46 mV. The results show that activated macrophages can effectively capture Cel in in vivo experiments, indicating that Cel delivered by nanoparticles can significantly improve bioavailability.

Abstract
To enhance the bioactivity of cellulosic derivatives has become an important strategy to promote their value for clinical applications. Herein, protocatechualdehyde (PCA), a polyphenolic molecule, was used to modify a cellulose acetate (CA) membrane by combining with metal ions to confer an immunomodulatory activity. The PCA-modified CA membrane has shown a significant radical scavenging activity, thereby suppressed the inflammatory response and created a favorable immune microenvironment for osteogenesis and mineralization. Moreover, addition of metal ions could further stimulate the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells and accelerate bone regeneration both in vitro and in vivo. This study may provide a strategy to promote the immunomodulatory activity of cellulose-based biomaterials for bone regeneration.

Abstract
The treatment of bone infections has always been difficult. The emergence of drug-resistant bacteria has led to a steady decline in the effectiveness of antibiotics. It is also especially important to fight bacterial infections while repairing bone defects and cleaning up dead bacteria to prevent biofilm formation. The development of biomedical materials has provided us with a research direction to address this issue. We aimed to review the current literature, and have summarized multifunctional antimicrobial materials that have long-lasting antimicrobial capabilities that promote angiogenesis, bone production, or "killing and releasing." This review provides a comprehensive summary of the use of biomedical materials in the treatment of bone infections and a reference thereof, as well as encouragement to perform further research in this field.

Abstract
Periodontitis is defined as a chronic inflammatory disease in which the continuous activation of oxidative stress surpasses the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging capacity of the endogenous antioxidative defense system. Studies have demonstrated that ROS-scavenging biomaterials should be promising candidates for periodontitis therapy. To benefit the understanding and design of scavenging biomaterials for periodontitis, this review details the relationship between ROS and periodontitis, including direct and indirect damage, the application of ROS-scavenging biomaterials in periodontitis, including organic and inorganic ROS-scavenging biomaterials, and the various dosage forms of fabricated materials currently used for periodontal therapy. Finally, the current situation and further prospects of ROS-scavenging biomaterials in periodontal applications are summarized. Expecting that improved ROS-scavenging biomaterials could be better designed and developed for periodontal and even clinical application.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis occurs when, under continuous stimulation by adverse factors such as glucocorticoids or alcohol, the death of local bone and marrow cells leads to abnormal osteoimmune function. This creates a chronic inflammatory microenvironment, which interferes with bone regeneration and repair. In a variety of bone tissue diseases, innate immune cells and adaptive immune cells interact with bone cells, and their effects on bone metabolic homeostasis have attracted more and more attention, thus developing into a new discipline - osteoimmunology. Immune cells are the most important regulator of inflammation, and osteoimmune disorder may be an important cause of osteonecrosis. Elucidating the chronic inflammatory microenvironment regulated by abnormal osteoimmune may help develop potential treatments for osteonecrosis. This review summarizes the inflammatory regulation of bone immunity in osteonecrosis, explains the pathophysiological mechanism of osteonecrosis from the perspective of osteoimmunology, and provides new ideas for the treatment of osteonecrosis.

Abstract
Tumor metastasis and recurrence are recognized to be the main causes of failure in cancer treatment. To address these issues, an "all in one" and "one for all" nanoplatform was established for combined "chemo-immuno-photothermal" therapy with the expectation to improve the antitumor efficacy. Herein, Docetaxel (DTX, a chemo-agent) and cynomorium songaricum polysaccharide (CSP, an immunomodulator) were loaded into zein nanoparticles coated by a green tea polyphenols/iron coordination complex (GTP/FeIII, a photothermal agent). From the result, the obtained nanoplatform denoted as DTX-loaded Zein/CSP-GTP/FeIII NPs was spherical in morphology with an average particle size of 274 nm, and achieved pH-responsive drug release. Moreover, the nanoplatform exhibited excellent photothermal effect both in vitro and in vivo. It was also observed that the nanoparticles could be effectively up take by tumor cells and inhibited their migration. From the results of the in vivo experiment, this nanoplatform could completely eliminate the primary tumors, prevent tumor relapses on LLC (Lewis lung cancer) tumor models, and significantly inhibit metastasis on 4T1 (murine breast cancer) tumor models. The underlying mechanism was also explored. It was discovered that this nanoplatform could induce a strong ICD effect and promote the release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) including CRT, ATP, and HMGB1 by the dying tumor cells. And the CSP could assist the DAMPs in inducing the maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) and facilitate the intratumoral infiltration of T lymphocytes to clear up the residual or disseminated tumor cells. In summary, this study demonstrated that the DTX-loaded Zein/CSP-GTP/FeIII is a promising nanoplatform to completely inhibit tumor metastasis and recurrence.

Abstract
Acute liver injury (ALI) could severely destroy the liver function and cause inevitable damage to human health. Studies have demonstrated that excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and accompanying inflammatory factors play vital roles in the ALI disease. Herein, we fabricated a kind of nature-inspired myricetin-enriched nanomaterial via Michael addition and Schiff base reaction, which possessed uniform morphology, tunable component ratios, great stabilities, promising free radical scavenging abilities, biocompatibility and protective effects towards cells under oxidative stress. Additionally, the therapeutic effects were demonstrated using an ALI model by down-regulating ROS and inflammatory levels and restoring the liver function. This study could provide a strategy to construct robust and antioxidative nanomaterials using naturally occurring molecules against intractable diseases.

Abstract
In the past few decades, the combination of proteins and small-molecule drugs has made tremendous progress in cancer treatment, but it is still not satisfactory. Because there are great differences in molecular weight, water solubility, stability, pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, and the ways of release and action between macromolecular proteins and small-molecule drugs. To improve the efficacy and safety of tumor treatment, people are committed to developing protein and drug co-delivery systems. Currently, intracellular co-delivery systems have been developed that integrate proteins and small-molecule drugs into one nanocarrier via various loading strategies. These systems significantly improve the blood stability, half-life, and biodistribution of proteins and small-molecule drugs, thus increasing their concentration in tumors. Furthermore, proteins and small-molecule drugs within these systems can be specifically targeted to tumor cells, and are released to perform functions after entering tumor cells simultaneously, resulting in improved effectiveness and safety of tumor treatment. This review summarizes the latest progress in protein and small-molecule drug intracellular co-delivery systems, with emphasis on the composition of nanocarriers, as well as on the loading methods of proteins and small-molecule drugs that play a role in cells into the systems, which have not been summarized by others so far.

Abstract
Bioinspired and biosafety antioxidant nanoparticle assemblies from natural occurring molecules have been regarded as a class of effective therapeutic nanomaterials for addressing current inflammatory diseases such as acute kidney injury. In this study, a series of epicatechin-assembled nanoparticles have been developed via one-pot enzymatic polymerization of epicatechin. The prepared poly (epicatechin) (PEC) nanoparticles (NPs) showed excellent antioxidant capacity to scavenge multiple toxic free radicals, thus being able to effectively protect cells under oxidative stress conditions in vitro. Furthermore, in the renal ischemia/reperfusion model, blood renal function testing and renal tissue staining revealed a prominent therapeutic effect of PEC NPs. All these findings suggested that this class of bioinspired antioxidant nanoparticles provided a new therapeutic strategy for human ischemia/reperfusion-related diseases.

Abstract
Recent advances in genomics during the 1990s have made it possible to study and identify genetic and epigenetic responses of cells and tissues to various drugs and environmental factors. This has accelerated the number of targets available to treat a range of diseases from cancer to wound healing disorders. Equally interesting is the understanding of how bio- and nanomaterials alter gene expression through epigenetic mechanisms, and whether they have the potential to elicit a positive therapeutic response without requiring additional biomolecule delivery. In fact, from a cell's perspective, a biomaterial is nothing more than an environmental factor, and so it has the power to epigenetically modulate gene expression of cells in contact with it. Understanding these epigenetic interactions between biomaterials and cells will open new avenues in the development of technologies that can not only provide biological signals (i.e. drugs, growth factors) necessary for therapy and regeneration, but also intimately interact with cells to promote the expression of genes of interest. This review article aims to summarise the current state-of-the-art and progress on the development of bio- and nanomaterials to modulate the epigenome.

Abstract
Tumor cell lysates (TCLs) are a good immunogenic source of tumor-associated antigens. Since whole necrotic TCLs can enhance the maturation and antigen-presenting ability of dendritic cells (DCs), multiple strategies for the exogenous delivery of TCLs have been investigated as novel cancer immunotherapeutic solutions. The TCL-mediated induction of DC maturation and the subsequent immunological response could be improved by utilizing various material-based carriers. Enhanced antitumor immunity and cancer vaccination efficacy could be eventually achieved through the in vivo administration of TCLs. Therefore, (1) important engineering methodologies to prepare antigen-containing TCLs, (2) current therapeutic approaches using TCL-mediated DC activation, and (3) the significant sequential mechanism of DC-based signaling and stimulation in adaptive immunity are summarized in this review. More importantly, the recently reported developments in biomaterial-based exogenous TCL delivery platforms and co-delivery strategies with adjuvants for effective cancer vaccination and antitumor effects are emphasized.

Abstract
Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation has emerged as an effective alternative for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF), but ablation lesions will result in swelling and hematoma of local surrounding tissue, triggering inflammatory cell infiltration and increased release of inflammatory cytokines. Some studies have shown that the inflammatory response may be related to the early occurrence of AF. The most direct way to inhibit perioperative inflammation is to use anti-inflammatory drugs such as glucocorticoids. Here, we prepared polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles loaded with budesonide (BUD) and delivered them through irrigation of saline during the onset of ablation. Local high temperature promoted local rupture of PLGA nanoparticles, releasing BUD, and produced a timely and effective local myocardial anti-inflammatory effect, resulting in the reduction of acute hematoma and inflammatory cell infiltration and the enhancement of ablation effect. Nanoparticles would also infiltrate into the local myocardium and gradually release BUD ingredients to produce a continuous anti-inflammatory effect in the next few days. This resulted in a decrease in the level of inflammatory cytokine IL-6 and an increase of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. This study explored an extraordinary drug delivery strategy to reduce ablation-related inflammation, which may prevent early recurrence of AF.

Abstract
Implantable bioelectrodes enable precise recording or stimulation of electrical signals with living tissues in close contact. However, their performance is frequently compromised owing to inflammatory tissue reactions, which macrophages either induce or resolve by polarizing to an inflammatory (M1) or noninflammatory (M2) phenotype, respectively. Thus, we aimed to fabricate biocompatible and functional implantable conductive polymer bioelectrodes with optimal topography for the modulation of macrophage responses. To this end, we produced heparin-doped polypyrrole (PPy/Hep) electrodes of different surface roughness, with Ra values from 5.5 to 17.6 nm, by varying the charge densities during electrochemical synthesis. In vitro culture revealed that macrophages on rough PPy/Hep electrodes preferentially polarized to noninflammatory phenotypes. In particular, PPy/Hep-900 (Ra = 14 nm) was optimal with respect to electrochemical properties and the suppression of inflammatory M1 polarization. In vivo implantation indicated that PPy/Hep-900 significantly reduced macrophage recruitment, suppressed inflammatory polarization, and mitigated fibrotic tissue formation. In addition, the implanted PPy/Hep-900 electrodes could successfully record electrocardiographic signals for up to 10 days without substantial decreases in sensitivity, while other electrodes substantially lost their signal sensitivity during implantation. Altogether, we demonstrate that modulating the surface features of PPy/Hep can benefit the design and applications of high-performance and high-biocompatibility bioelectrodes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We sought to fill the research gap on the effects of statins on the risks of ischemic stroke and heart disease among individuals with human immunodeficiency virus infection, influenza, and severe acute respiratory syndrome associated-coronavirus (HIS) disorders. METHODS We enrolled a HIS cohort treated with statins (n = 4921) and a HIS cohort not treated with statins (n = 4921). The cumulative incidence of ischemic stroke and heart disease was analyzed using a time-dependent Cox proportional regression analysis. We analyzed the adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of ischemic stroke and heart disease for statins users relative to nonusers based on sex, age, comorbidities and medications. RESULTS The aHR (95% CI) was 0.38 (0.22-0.65) for ischemic stroke. The aHR (95% CI) of heart disease was 0.50 (0.46-0.55). The aHRs (95% CI) of statin users with low, medium, and high adherence (statin use covering <33%, 33%-66%, and >66%, respectively, of the study period) for the risks of ischemic stroke were 0.50 (0.27-0.92), 0.31 (0.10-1.01), and 0.16 (0.04-0.68) and for heart disease were 0.56 (0.51-0.61), 0.40 (0.33-0.48), and 0.44 (0.38-0.51), respectively, compared with statin nonusers. CONCLUSION Statin use was associated with lower aHRs for ischemic stroke and heart disease in those with HIS disorders with comorbidities.

Abstract
3D bioprinting of living materials represents an interesting paradigm toward the efficacy enhancement for the biosynthesis of various functional compounds in microorganisms. Previous studies have shown the success of 3D-printed bioactive systems in the production of small molecular compounds. However, the feasibility of such a strategy in producing macromolecules and how the geometry of the 3D scaffold influences the productivity are still unknown. In this study, we printed a series of 3D gelatin-based hydrogels immobilized with fermentation bacteria that can secrete hyaluronic acid (HA), a very useful natural polysaccharide in the fields of biomedicine and tissue engineering. The 3D-printed bioreactor was capable of producing HA, and an elevated yield was obtained with the system bearing a grid structure compared to that either with a solid structure or in a scaffold-free fermentation condition. As for the grid structure, bioreactors with a 90° strut angel and a median interfilament distance displayed the highest HA yield. Our findings highlighted the significant role of 3D printing in the spatial control of microorganism-laden hydrogel structures for the enhancement of biosynthesis efficiency.

Abstract
Electrospun nanofibrous membranes are a widely used physical barrier for reducing postoperative adhesion. However, these physical barriers could not prevent adhesion formation completely. Because a high-intensity inflammation occurs in the surgical area, the presence of relevant drugs to control such an inflammation is desperately needed. In this study, we fabricated an electrospun composite ibuprofen-loaded poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)/polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibrous membrane (NFM) to prevent abdominal adhesions. This membrane aimed to act as a barrier between the abdominal wall and surrounding tissues, without interrupting mass transfer and normal wound healing. Among various fabricated composite NFMs, PCL/25PEG-6% NFMs showed the lowest fiber diameter (448.8 ± 124.4 nm), the smallest pore size (<2 μm), and moderate ultimate stress and strain. The PCL/25PEG-6% NFMs had the lowest water contact angle (≈75°) and the highest drug profile release (≈80%) within 14 days. Furthermore, in vitro toxicity examination of PCL/25PEG-6% toward fibroblast cells demonstrated a cell viability of ≈82% after 3 days, proving its prolonged antiadhesion ability. In addition, the low number of adherent cells with a rounded shape and low cell proliferation on these NFMs indicated their special antiadhesive effects. Collectively, these results indicated that the PCL/25PEG-6% membrane might be a suitable barrier to prevent abdominal adhesion.
