Abstract
The lubrication modification of biomedical devices significantly enhances the functionality of implanted interventional medical devices, thereby providing additional benefits for patients. Polymer brush coating provides a convenient and efficient method for surface modification while ensuring the preservation of the substrate's original properties. The current research has focused on a "trial and error" method to finding polymer brushes with superior lubricity qualities, which is time-consuming and expensive, as obtaining effective and long-lasting lubricity properties for polymer brushes is difficult. This review summarizes recent research advances in the biomedical field in the design, material selection, preparation, and characterization of lubricating and antifouling polymer brushes, which follow the polymer brush development process. This review begins by examining various approaches to polymer brush design, including molecular dynamics simulation and machine learning, from the fundamentals of polymer brush lubrication. Recent advancements in polymer brush design are then synthesized and potential avenues for future research are explored. Emphasis is placed on the burgeoning field of zwitterionic polymer brushes, and highlighting the broad prospects of supramolecular polymer brushes based on host-guest interactions in the field of self-repairing polymer brush applications. The review culminates by providing a summary of methodologies for characterizing the structural and functional attributes of polymer brushes. It is believed that a development approach for polymer brushes based on "design-material selection-preparation-characterization" can be created, easing the challenge of creating polymer brushes with high-performance lubricating qualities and enabling the on-demand creation of coatings. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Biomedical devices have severe lubrication modification needs, and surface lubrication modification by polymer brush coating is currently the most promising means. However, the design and preparation of polymer brushes often involves "iterative testing" to find polymer brushes with excellent lubrication properties, which is both time-consuming and expensive. This review proposes a polymer brush development process based on the "design-material selection-preparation-characterization" strategy and summarizes recent research advances and trends in the design, material selection, preparation, and characterization of polymer brushes. This review will help polymer brush researchers by alleviating the challenges of creating polymer brushes with high-performance lubricity and promises to enable the on-demand construction of polymer brush lubrication coatings.

Abstract
The journey of ceramics in medicine has been synchronized with an evolution from the first generation-alumina, zirconia, etc.-to the third -3D scaffolds. There is an up-and-coming member called oxygen-deficient or colored bioceramics, which have recently found their way through biomedical applications. The oxygen vacancy steers the light absorption toward visible and near infrared regions, making the colored bioceramics multifunctional-therapeutic, diagnostic, and regenerative. Oxygen-deficient bioceramics are capable of turning light into heat and reactive oxygen species for photothermal and photodynamic therapies, respectively, and concomitantly yield infrared and photoacoustic images. Different types of oxygen-deficient bioceramics have been recently developed through various synthesis routes. Some of them like TiO2- x , MoO3- x , and WOx have been more investigated for biomedical applications, whereas the rest have yet to be scrutinized. The most prominent advantage of these bioceramics over the other biomaterials is their multifunctionality endowed with a change in the microstructure. There are some challenges ahead of this category discussed at the end of the present review. By shedding light on this recently born bioceramics subcategory, it is believed that the field will undergo a big step further as these platforms are naturally multifunctional.

Abstract
Postoperative intrauterine adhesion (IUA), caused by endometrial basal layer injury, is one of the main causes of female infertility. The excessive deposition of fibrin as well as fibroblast is considered the root cause of IUA. However, few clinical strategies are effective in preventing extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition at endometrial wounds that include protein and cell deposits. Herein, the injectable granular poly(N-(2-hydroxyethyl) acrylamide) (PHEAA) hydrogel (granular PHEAA gel), which presents excellent antifouling properties and remarkably prevents protein and cell adhesions, is used to prevent postoperative IUA. The granular PHEAA gel with a jammed network structure exhibits outstanding injectability and superior stability. Compared with the IUA group, the granular PHEAA gel can promote regeneration of the endometrium while reducing the area of endometrial fibrosis. Immunohistochemical staining experiments indicate that the granular PHEAA gel can improve the proliferation of the endometrium, promote vascularization, and enhance anti-inflammatory effect in IUA rats. And the granular PHEAA gel can effectively slow down the fibrosis of uterine tissue. Importantly, the number of embryos is significantly increased after injecting granular PHEAA gel, inferring that there is an obvious reproductive function recovery of injured endometrium.

Abstract
The development of moisturizing, antibacterial, and biocompatible multifunctional hydrogels is essential to protect skin and promote skin defects recovery. Gelatin has admired potential to be applied for skin care as a hydrogel in virtue of its hydrophilic biocompatible and biodegradable properties. In this study, triclosan-grafted gelatin and photo-cross-linkable methacrylated gelatin were synthesized and then combined to construct the semi-interpenetrating network and antibacterial hydrogels with the aid of a visible blue light. The antimicrobial test demonstrated that the resulting hydrogel obtained excellent inactivation capacity against E. coli, S. aureus, T. rubrum, and C. albicans with sterilizing rates of 99.998%, 99.998%, 99.19%, and 99.64%, respectively. In addition, the cytotoxicity, hemolysis, skin irritation, and rat skin wound healing experiments proved the good biocompatibility of the hydrogel. Therefore, this investigation sheds light on the development of multifunctional hydrogels in skin care.

Abstract
Biomaterials and biomedical devices induced life-threatening bacterial infections and other biological adverse effects such as thrombosis and fibrosis have posed a significant threat to global healthcare. Bacterial infections and adverse biological effects are often caused by the formation of microbial biofilms and the adherence of various biomacromolecules, such as platelets, proteins, fibroblasts, and immune cells, to the surfaces of biomaterials and biomedical devices. Due to the programmed interconnected networking of bacteria in microbial biofilms, they are challenging to treat and can withstand several doses of antibiotics. Additionally, antibiotics can kill bacteria but do not prevent the adsorption of biomacromolecules from physiological fluids or implanting sites, which generates a conditioning layer that promotes bacteria's reattachment, development, and eventual biofilm formation. In these viewpoints, we highlighted the magnitude of biomaterials and biomedical device-induced infections, the role of biofilm formation, and biomacromolecule adhesion in human pathogenesis. We then discussed the solutions practiced in healthcare systems for curing biomaterials and biomedical device-induced infections and their limitations. Moreover, this review comprehensively elaborated on the recent advances in designing and fabricating biomaterials and biomedical devices with these three properties: antibacterial (bacterial killing), antibiofilm (biofilm inhibition/prevention), and antibiofouling (biofouling inhibition/prevention) against microbial species and against the adhesion of other biomacromolecules. Besides we also recommended potential directions for further investigations.

Abstract
The development of nonantibiotic strategies to combat bacterial infection is highly needed, owing to the widespread infectious disease and bacterial resistance becoming a significant health threat to the world's population. In recent years, photoactivated antibacterial therapies including photocatalytic and photothermal therapies have attracted increasing attention due to their high efficiency and low side effect. Herein, we introduce a copper sulfide (Cu2-xS) hollow nanostructure-based near-infrared antibacterial platform with synergy photothermal and photocatalytic properties for effective bacterial sterilization. Compared to traditional Cu2-xS nanoparticles, this unique hollow Cu2-xS nanostructure can generate multiple scattered light, which is conducive to light collection. Moreover, its thin shell can shorten the transmission distance of carrier, thus reducing the charge recombination that usually causes the greatest energy loss. As a result, such a Cu2-xS hollow nanostructure enables enhanced photothermal and photocatalytic bacterial killing activities against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, showing promise for antibiotic-free infection treatment and other bacterial sterilization applications.

Abstract
To solve the proble ms of composite restoration failure caused by secondary caries, this study reports a light curable antibacterial triclosan derivative (TCS-IH), which was synthesized and added to the existing commercial universal adhesive to achieve a long-term antibacterial effect The effect of mixing different mass percentages of TCS-IH on the bond strength of dentin was also investigated.TCS-IH was synthesized by solution polymerization and characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectroscopy (1H NMR) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Two commercial universal adhesives, Single Bond Universal and All Bond Universal, were selected and used as the control group, and universal adhesives with different mass percentages (1 wt%, 3 wt%, 5 wt% and 7 wt%) of TCS-IH were used as the experimental group. The antibacterial properties were analysed by means of colony count experiments, biofilm formation detection, plotting of growth curves, biofilm metabolic activity detection, insoluble extracellular polysaccharide measurements and observations by confocal laser scanning microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of adhesives on biofilm formation, metabolism, extracellular matrix production, distribution of live and dead bacteria, and bacterial morphology of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) was analysed. The mechanical properties were evaluated by the degree of conversion and microtensile bonding strength under different conditions. Its biosafety was tested. We found that the addition of TCS-IH significantly improved the antibacterial performance of the universal adhesive, with the 5 wt% and 7 wt% groups showing the best antibacterial effect and effectively inhibiting the formation of biofilm. In addition, the adhesive strength test results showed that there was no statistical difference (p < 0.05) in the microtensile bond strength measured under various factors in all experimental groups except for the 7 wt% group in the self-etch bonding mode, and all of them had good biosafety. In summary, the 5 wt% group of antibacterial monomer TCS-IH was selected as the optimum addition to the universal adhesive to ensure the antimicrobial properties of the universal adhesive and the stability and durability of the adhesive interface. This study provides a reference for the clinical application of adhesives with antimicrobial activity to improve the stability and durability of adhesive restorations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cells exposed to stress factors experience time-dependent variations of metabolite concentration, acting as reliable sensors of the effective concentration of drugs in solution. NMR can detect and quantify changes in metabolite concentration, thus providing an indirect estimate of drug concentration. The quantification of bactericidal molecules released from antimicrobial-treated biomedical materials is crucial to determine their biocompatibility and the potential onset of drug resistance. METHODS Real-time NMR measurements of extracellular metabolites produced by bacteria grown in the presence of known concentrations of an antibacterial molecule (irgasan) are employed to quantify the bactericidal molecule released from antimicrobial-treated biomedical devices. Viability tests assess their activity against E. coli and S. aureus planktonic and sessile cells. AFM and contact angle measurements assisted in the determination of the mechanism of antibacterial action. RESULTS NMR-derived concentration kinetics of metabolites produced by bacteria grown in contact with functionalized materials allows for indirectly evaluating the effective concentration of toxic substances released from the device, lowering the detection limit to the nanomolar range. NMR, AFM and contact angle measurements support a surface-killing mechanism of action against bacteria. CONCLUSIONS The NMR based approach provides a reliable tool to estimate bactericidal molecule release from antimicrobial materials. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE The novelty of the proposed NMR-based strategy is that it i) exploits bacteria as sensors of the presence of bactericidal molecules in solution; ii) is independent of the chemo-physical properties of the analyte; iii) establishes the detection limit to nanomolar concentrations.

Abstract
Percutaneous device-related infection has greatly shortened the service period of devices and seriously reduced the quality of life of patients. Bacteria are one of the main pathogenic factors and cannot be effectively and conveniently eradicated by traditional strategies (e.g., construct coatings and introduce antibiotics), due to the complex interface among medical devices, surrounding tissue, and colonizing bacteria. Inspired by the periodontium, a universal bacteria-defensive hydrogel adapting to the complicated interface is fabricated by introducing phenol-amine chemistry to a polymeric matrix of N-hydroxyethyl acrylamide (HPC hydrogels). The HPC hydrogels with excellent toughness (2.1 MJ/m3), adhesion (10.2 and 13.2 kPa for pigskin and Ti-6Al-4V alloy, respectively), and antibacterial property (up to 99.9% for both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) contributed to the innate microbe barrier via sealing the tissue-device interface and adaptive defense to eradicate bacteria. Meanwhile, bacterial invasion experiments demonstrate HPC hydrogels possess both a bacteria-defensive property (up to 24 h) and cell-protecting function at the same time. Furthermore, the biocompatibility of HPC hydrogels is verified in tests for in vitro cytotoxicity and in vivo irritation. Hence, the designed HPC hydrogels are considered as an emerging and universal candidate for preventing bacterial infection and can protect the deep tissue around a percutaneous device.

Abstract
The hydrogel using natural and synthetic polymers to create a cross-linking network has drawn attention in diverse bioapplications. However, inhibition of bacterial infection is still a challenge for hydrogel's wide application. In this work, we reported a supramolecular hydrogel with a good antibacterial property built from conjugated molecules. The water-soluble molecular 4,7-bis[9,9-di(2-carboxy-ethyl)-fluoren-2-yl]-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (OFBTCOOH) physically linked with monomers via hydrophobic interaction. The free-radical polymerized poly(N-acryloyl glycinamide) was hydrogen-bond cross-linked by dual amides in the side chains to form a hydrogel. An adjustable micro-network was obtained by increasing OFBTCOOH with evidence of enhanced intermolecular interaction. The successfully integrated OFBTCOOH could be excited upon light irradiation. The energy of triplet-state excitons of OFBTCOOH transferred to the ground-state oxygen to produce singlet oxygen, which endowed the hydrogel with the antibacterial property. Meanwhile, the superhydrophilic surface of the hydrogel can bind water molecules to form a stable hydration layer, which acted as barriers to resist protein and bacterial adsorption and achieve the anti-biofouling goal. The ease in introducing conjugated polyelectrolytes may provide a formulation to functionalize hydrogels via various physical interactions.

Abstract
Traditional antifouling coatings are generally based on a single antifouling mechanism, which can hardly meet the needs of different occasions. Here, a single "kill-resist-renew trinity" polymeric coating integrating fouling killing, resistance, and releasing functions is reported. To achieve the design, a novel monomer-tertiary carboxybetaine ester acrylate with the antifouling group N-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)maleimide (TCB-TCPM) is synthesized and copolymerized with methacrylic anhydride via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization yielding a degradable hyperbranched polymer. Such a polymer at the surface/seawater is able to hydrolyze and degrade to short segments forming a dynamic surface (releasing). The hydrolysis of TCB-TCPM generates the antifouling groups TCPM (killing) and zwitterionic groups (resistance). Such a polymeric coating exhibits a controllable degradation rate, which increases with the degrees of branching. The antibacterial assay demonstrates that the antifouling ability arise from the synergistic effect of "attacking" and "defending". This study provides a new strategy to solve the challenging problem of marine biofouling.

Abstract
Dental composites are routinely placed as part of tooth restoration procedures. The integrity of the restoration is constantly challenged by the metabolic activities of the oral microbiome. This activity directly contributes to a less-than-desirable half-life for the dental composite formulations currently in use. Therefore, many new antimicrobial dental composites are being developed to counteract the microbial challenge. To ensure that these materials will resist microbiome-derived degradation, the model systems used for testing antimicrobial activities should be relevant to the in vivo environment. Here, we summarize the key steps in oral microbial colonization that should be considered in clinically relevant model systems. Oral microbial colonization is a clearly defined developmental process that starts with the formation of the acquired salivary pellicle on the tooth surface, a conditioned film that provides the critical attachment sites for the initial colonizers. Further development includes the integration of additional species and the formation of a diverse, polymicrobial mature biofilm. Biofilm development is discussed in the context of dental composites, and recent research is highlighted regarding the effect of antimicrobial composites on the composition of the oral microbiome. Future challenges are addressed, including the potential of antimicrobial resistance development and how this could be counteracted by detailed studies of microbiome composition and gene expression on dental composites. Ultimately, progress in this area will require interdisciplinary approaches to effectively mitigate the inevitable challenges that arise as new experimental bioactive composites are evaluated for potential clinical efficacy. Success in this area could have the added benefit of inspiring other fields in medically relevant materials research, since microbial colonization of medical implants and devices is a ubiquitous problem in the field.

Abstract
In spite of antibiotics, antibacterial agents or specifically known as antiseptics are actively explored for the prevention of infection-associated medical devices. Antibacterial agents are introduced to overcome the complication of bacterial resistance which devoted by antibiotics. It can be classified into inorganic and organic, that prominently have impacted bacterial retardation in their own killing mechanism patterns. Therefore, this review paper aimed to provide information on most common used inorganic and organic antibacterial agents which have potential to be utilized in biomedical applications, thus, classifying the trends of antibacterial mechanism on Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. In the beginning, infectious diseases and associated biomedical infections were stated to expose current infection scenarios on medical devices. The general view, application, susceptible bacteria and activation mechanism of inorganic (silver, copper, gold and zinc) and organic (chlorhexidine, triclosan, polyaniline and polyethylenimine) antibacterial agents that are widely proposed for biomedical area, were then gathered and reviewed. In the latter part of the study, the intact mechanisms of inorganic and organic antibacterial agents in retarding bacterial growth were classified and summarized based on its susceptibility on Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Most of inorganic antibacterial agents are in the form of metal, which release its ions to retard prominently Gram-negative bacteria. While organic antibacterial agents are susceptible to Gram-positive bacteria through organelle modification and disturbance of bio-chemical pathway. However, the antibacterial effects of each antibacterial agent are also depending on its effective mechanism and the species of bacterial strain. These compilation reviews and classification mechanisms are beneficial to assist the selection of antibacterial agents to be incorporated on/within biomaterials, based on its susceptible bacteria. Besides, the combination of several antibacterial agents with different susceptibilities will cover a wide range of antibacterial spectrum.

Abstract
Melanoma is a common type of cutaneous tumor, but current drug treatments do not satisfy clinical practice requirements. At present, mitochondrial uncoupling is an effective antitumor treatment. Triclosan, a common antimicrobial, also acts as a mitochondrial uncoupler. The aims of the present study were to investigate the effects of triclosan on melanoma cells and the underlying mechanisms. Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), mitochondrial morphology, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mito-ROS), intracellular superoxide anion and [Ca2+]i were measured using confocal microscopy. It was found that triclosan application was associated with decreased A375 cell viability in a dose- and time-dependent manner and these effects may have cell specificity. Furthermore, triclosan induced MMP depolarization, ATP content decrease, mito-ROS and [Ca2+]i level increases, excessive mitochondrial fission, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation and STAT3 inhibition. Moreover, these aforementioned effects were reversed by acetylcysteine treatment. Triclosan acute treatment also induced mitochondrial swelling, which was reversed after AMPK-knockdown associated with [Ca2+]i overload. Cell death was caused by STAT3 inhibition but not AMPK activation. Moreover, triclosan induced autophagy via the ROS/AMPK/p62/microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3 (LC3) signaling pathway, which may serve a role in feedback protection. Collectively, the present results suggested that triclosan increased mito-ROS production in melanoma cells, following induced cell death via the STAT3/Bcl-2 pathway and autophagy via the AMPK/p62/LC3 pathway.

Abstract
Bacterial pathogens are responsible for millions of cases of illnesses and deaths each year throughout the world. The development of novel surfaces and coatings that effectively inhibit and prevent bacterial attachment, proliferation, and growth is one of the crucial steps for tackling this global challenge. Herein, we report a dual-functional coating for aluminum surfaces that relies on the controlled immobilization of lysozyme enzyme (muramidase) into interstitial spaces of presintered, nanostructured thin film based on ∼200 nm silica nanoparticles and the sequential chemisorption of an organofluorosilane to the available interfacial areas. The mean diameter of the resultant lysozyme microdomains was 3.1 ± 2.5 μm with an average spacing of 8.01 ± 6.8 μm, leading to a surface coverage of 15.32%. The coating had an overall root-mean-square (rms) roughness of 539 ± 137 nm and roughness factor of 1.50 ± 0.1, and demonstrated static, advancing, and receding water contact angles of 159.0 ± 1.0°, 155.4 ± 0.6°, and 154.4 ± 0.6°, respectively. Compared to the planar aluminum, the coated surfaces produced a 6.5 ± 0.1 (>99.99997%) and 4.0 ± 0.1 (>99.99%) log-cycle reductions in bacterial surfaces colonization against Gram-negative Salmonella Typhimurium LT2 and Gram-positive Listeria innocua, respectively. We anticipate that the implementation of such a coating strategy on healthcare environments and surfaces and food-contact surfaces can significantly reduce or eliminate potential risks associated with various contamination and cross-contamination scenarios.

Abstract
Infections, contaminations, and biofouling resulting from micro- and/or macro-organisms remained a prominent threat to the public health, food industry, and aqua-/marine-related applications. Considering environmental and drug resistance concerns as well as insufficient efficacy on biofilms associated with conventional disinfecting reagents, developing an antimicrobial surface potentially improved antimicrobial performance by directly working on the microbes surrounding the surface area. Here we provide an engineering perspective on the logic of choosing materials and strategies for designing antimicrobial surfaces, as well as an application perspective on their potential impacts. In particular, we analyze and discuss requirements and expectations for specific applications and provide insights on potential misconnection between the antimicrobial solution and its targeted applications. Given the high translational barrier for antimicrobial surfaces, future research would benefit from a comprehensive understanding of working mechanisms for potential materials/strategies, and challenges/requirements for a targeted application.

Abstract
Periprosthetic infection is considered the main cause of implant failure, which is expected to be solved by fabricating an antibacterial coating on the surface of the implant. Nevertheless, systemic antibiotic treatment still represents the mainstream method for preventing infection, and few antibacterial coatings are applied clinically. This is because the externally introduced traditional antibacterial coatings suffer from the risk of invalidation and tissue toxicity induced by the consumption of antibacterial agents, degradation, and shedding. In this work, we proposed a rapid photo-sonotherapy by creating an oxygen deficiency on a titanium (Ti) implant through sulfur (S)-doping (Ti-S-TiO2-x), which endowed the implants with great sonodynamic and photothermal ability. Without introducing an external antibacterial coating, it reached a high antibacterial efficiency of 99.995% against Staphylococcus aureus under 15 min near-infrared light and ultrasound treatments. Furthermore, bone infection was successfully treated after combination treatments, and improved osseointegration was observed. Importantly, the S-doped Ti implant immersed in water for 6 months showed an unchanged structure and properties, suggesting that the Ti implant with intrinsic modification showed stable antibacterial performance under exogenous stimuli with a high antibacterial performance in vivo. This photo-sonotherapy based on sulfur doping is also promising for cancer therapy with biosafety.

Abstract
Dentin restoration produces weak interfaces because of the effects of bacterial microflora, biofilms, and mechanical, thermal, and shrinkage stresses. This results in secondary caries. Therefore, hydrophobic elastic polyurethane (PU) containing different concentrations of triclosan derivatives was synthesized and applied to solve this problem. The antibacterial PU was characterized according to its tensile strength (TS) and elasticity (ε) via a universal testing machine, and water sorption (Wsp) and solubility testing (Wsl) was performed according to ISO 4049: 2009. Additionally, this study evaluated the antibacterial properties of PU against Streptococcus mutans (ATCC35668) and Escherichia coli (ATCC25922). A marginal leakage test was performed to evaluate the leakage prevention property. As a result, the antibacterial PU showed high TS (>17 MPa), high elasticity (ε > 65%), and low Wsp (>81.06 μg/mm3) and Wsl (>11.22 μg/mm3). The PU exhibited antibacterial effects against both Streptococcus mutans and Escherichia coli. The antibacterial rates were over 90% and >99% for the 3% and 5% groups, respectively. Moreover, the marginal level of leakage was 0. Based on the mechanical properties, Wsp and Wsl values and the antibacterial properties, the 3% group exhibited satisfactory performance and has been deemed a possible solution to reduce the occurrence of secondary caries.

Abstract
The development of smart materials and surfaces with multiple antibacterial actions is of great importance for both fundamental research and practical applications, but this has proved to be extremely challenging. In this work, we proposed to integrate salt-responsive polyDVBAPS (poly(3-(dimethyl(4-vinylbenzyl) ammonio)propyl sulfonate)), antifouling polyHEAA (poly(N-hydroxyethyl acrylamide)), and bactericidal TCS (triclosan) into single surfaces by polymerizing and grafting polyDVBAPS and polyHEAA onto the substrate in a different way to form two types of polyDVBAPS/poly(HEAA-g-TCS) and poly(DVBAPS-b-HEAA-g-TCS) brushes with different hierarchical structures, as confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atom force microscopy (AFM), and ellipsometry. Both types of polymer brushes demonstrated their tri-functional antibacterial activity to resist bacterial attachment by polyHEAA, to release ∼90% of dead bacteria from the surface by polyDVBAPS, and to kill ∼90% of bacteria on the surface by TCS. Comparative studies also showed that removal of any component from polyDVBAPS/poly(HEAA-g-TCS) and poly(DVBAPS-b-HEAA-g-TCS) compromised the overall antibacterial performance, further supporting a synergistic effect of the three compatible components. More importantly, the presence of salt-responsive polyDVBAPS allowed both brushes to regenerate with almost unaffected antibacterial capacity for reuse in multiple kill-and-release cycles. The tri-functional antibacterial surfaces present a promising design strategy for further developing next-generation antibacterial materials and coatings for antibacterial applications.

Abstract
Polyzwitterionic brushes with strong antipolyelectrolyte effects have shown great potential as versatile platforms for the development of switchable friction/lubrication and bacterial absorption/desorption surfaces. However, the surface property switches of these brushes are usually triggered by high salt concentrations (>0.53 M), thereby greatly limiting their applications in biological fields where the salt concentration for mammals is ?0.15 M. To solve this problem, an electric field was used to assist the salt-responsive process of the polyzwitterionic brushes to achieve bacterial release at low concentrations of the salt solution. Briefly, poly(3-(dimethyl (4-vinylbenzyl) ammonium) propyl sulfonate) (polyDVBAPS) brushes grafted on ITO surfaces were prepared by surface initiated atom transfer radical polymerization. The bacterial release of this surface was conducted under an electric field, where anions were migrated and enriched around the brush-grafted ITO surface as anode. The local high concentration ion led to the conformation change of the brush and release of the attached bacteria. The effect of salt type, salt concentration, electric field strength, and conducting time on the bacterial release properties were investigated. The results indicated that under an electrical field of 3 V/mm, polyDVBAPS showed release capacities of ?93% for E. coli and ?81% for S. aureus in 0.12 M NaCl electrolyte solution. Furthermore, by the introduction of a bactericidal agent, i.e., Triclosan (TCS), an antibacterial surface with dual functions of killing and release was fabricated. This surface could kill ?90% and release 95% of attached E. coli in a 0.12 M NaCl solution by the application of a 3 V/mm electric field. This work demonstrated the feasibility of triggering a salt-responsive behavior of polyzwitterionic at low salt concentration by assistance of electric field, which would greatly extend the applications of polyzwitterionic, in particular in biological applications.

Abstract
In this paper, a series of amphiphilic diblock polymers of poly(hydroxyethylacrylamide)- b-poly(1H,1H-pentafluoropropyl methacrylate) (PHEAA- b-PFMA) were grafted from silicon wafer via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP). Surface wettability and chemical compositions of the modified surfaces were characterized by contact angle goniometer and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) respectively. Molecular weight and polydispersity of each block were measured using gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The topography and the microphase separation behavior of PHEAA- b-PFMA surfaces were investigated by atomic force microscope (AFM). The results show that only when the grafting density (σ) and thickness of PHEAA brush were in the range of 0.9-1.3 (chain/nm2) and 6.6-15.1 nm, respectively, and the ratio of PFMA/PHEAA varied from 89/42 to 89/94, could the diblock copolymer phase separate into nanostructures. Further, the antiprotein adsorption performance of the modified surfaces against BSA, fibrinogen, and lysozyme was studied. The results indicated the modified surfaces could reduce the protein adsorption compared to the pristine silicon wafer. For Fibrinogen, the antiadsorption effect of PHEAA- b-PFMA-modified surfaces with microphase segregation was better than that of corresponding PHEAA modified surfaces. The results provide further evidence that surface composition and microphase segregation of fluorinated moieties of block copolymer brushes significantly impact protein adsorption behaviors.

Abstract
A poly(oxanorbornene)-based polyzwitterion with primary ammonium and carboxylate groups (PZI) has been reported previously as the first simultaneously antimicrobial and protein-repellent polyzwitterion. Here, additional physical and biological properties of three poly(oxanorbornene)-based polyzwitterions with different functional groups (PZI, the polycarboxybetaine PCB, and the polysulfobetaine PSB) are compared to understand the molecular origins of this unusual bioactivity. Additionally, the three polyzwitterions and the antimicrobial, polycationic SMAMP are exposed to proteins, bacteria suspensions, human plasma and serum. These interactions are investigated by surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy. In protein adhesion studies, neither fibrinogen nor lysozyme adhere irreversibly to PZI, yet reversible interaction with lysozyme is observed at pH 7 and 8. In the presence of bivalent cations, reversible fibrinogen adhesion on PZI and PSB is observed, but not on PCB. This might explain why mammalian cells grow on PZI and PSB, but not on PCB. PZI does not show human plasma adhesion, while PCB and PSB have 0.27 and 0.48 ng mm-2 adhered plasma, and SMAMP even 6.3 ng mm-2. Both PZI and SMAMP show strong serum adhesion, while no serum adhered to PCB, and only little to PSB. This could be related to the pH difference between serum and plasma, to which the pH-responsive primary ammonium groups are susceptible, while the permanently charged NR4 + groups are unaffected. Both PZI and PCB showed none or only little bacterial adhesion. PCB is also intrinsically antimicrobial against E. coli and S. aureus bacteria and thus is also simultaneously protein-repellent and antimicrobially active. Thus, while the carboxylate groups of PZI and PCB seems to be a prerequisite for the dual antimicrobial activity and protein-repellency, the pH-responsiveness of the primary ammonium group seems to make the PZI molecule vulnerable for protein adhesion in fluids that are slightly out of the physiological range.

Abstract
This study is aimed at evaluating the effects of triclosan-encapsulated halloysite nanotubes (HNT/TCN) on the physicochemical and microbiological properties of an experimental dental composite. A resin composite doped with HNT/TCN (8% w/w), a control resin composite without nanotubes (HNT/TCN-0%) and a commercial nanofilled resin (CN) were assessed for degree of conversion (DC), flexural strength (FS), flexural modulus (FM), polymerization stress (PS), dynamic thermomechanical (DMA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The antibacterial properties (M) were also evaluated using a 5-day biofilm assay (CFU/mL). Data was submitted to one-way ANOVA and Tukey tests. There was no significant statistical difference in DC, FM and RU between the tested composites (p > 0.05). The FS and CN values attained with the HNT/TCN composite were higher (p < 0.05) than those obtained with the HNT/TCN-0%. The DMA analysis showed significant differences in the TAN δ (p = 0.006) and Tg (p = 0) between the groups. TGA curves showed significant differences between the groups in terms of degradation (p = 0.046) and weight loss (p = 0.317). The addition of HNT/TCN induced higher PS, although no significant antimicrobial effect was observed (p = 0.977) between the groups for CFUs and (p = 0.557) dry weight. The incorporation of HNT/TCN showed improvements in physicochemical and mechanical properties of resin composites. Such material may represent an alternative choice for therapeutic restorative treatments, although no significance was found in terms of antibacterial properties. However, it is possible that current antibacterial tests, as the one used in this laboratory study, may not be totally appropriate for the evaluation of resin composites, unless accompanied with aging protocols (e.g., thermocycling and load cycling) that allow the release of therapeutic agents incorporated in such materials.

Abstract
Reducing early nonbacterial inflammation induced by implanted materials and infection resulting from bacterial contamination around the implant-abutment interface could greatly decrease implant failure rates, which would be of clinical significance. In this work, we presented a facile and versatile strategy for the construction of anti-inflammatory and antibacterial surfaces. Briefly, the surfaces of polystyrene culture plates were first coated with polydopamine and then decorated with dexamethasone plus minocycline-loaded liposomes (Dex/Mino liposomes), which was validated by contact angle goniometry, quartz crystal microbalance, and fluorescence microscopy. Dex/Mino liposomes were dispersed on functional surfaces and the drug release kinetics exhibited the sustained release of dexamethasone and minocycline. Our results demonstrated that the Dex/Mino liposome-modified surfaces had good biocompatibility. Additionally, liposomal dexamethasone reduced proinflammatory mediator expression (particularly IL-6 and TNF-α) in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated human gingival fibroblasts and human mesenchymal stem cells. Moreover, liposomal minocycline prevented the adhesion and proliferation of Porphyromonas gingivalis (Gram-negative bacteria) and Streptococcus mutans (Gram-positive bacteria). These findings demonstrate that an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial surface was developed, using dopamine as a medium and combining a liposomal delivery device, which has potential for use to reduce implant failure rates. Accordingly, the surface modification strategy presented could be useful in biofunctionalization of implant materials.

Abstract
Antibacterial surfaces with both bacteria killing and release functions show great promise in biological and biomedical applications, in particular for reusable medical devices. However, these surfaces either require a sophisticated technique to create delicate structures or need rigorous stimuli to trigger the functions, greatly limiting their practical application. In this study, we made a step forward by developing a simple system based on a salt-responsive polyzwitterionic brush. Specifically, the salt-responsive brush of poly(3-(dimethyl (4-vinylbenzyl) ammonium) propyl sulfonate) (polyDVBAPS) was endowed with bactericidal function by grafting an effective bactericide, i.e., triclosan (TCS). This simple functionalization successfully integrated the bacteria attach/release function of polyDVBAPS and bactericidal function of TCS. As a result, the surface could kill more than 95% attached bacteria and, subsequently, could rapidly detach ∼97% bacteria after gently shaking in 1.0 M NaCl for 10 min. More importantly, such high killing efficiency and release rate could be well retained (unchanged effectiveness of both killing and release after four severe killing/release cycles), indicating the highly efficient regeneration and long-term reusability of this system. This study not only contributes zwitterionic polymers by conferring new functions but also provides a new, highly efficient and reliable surface for "killing-release" antibacterial strategy.

Abstract
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are the infections that patients get while receiving medical treatment in a medical facility with bacterial HAIs being the most common. Silver and gold nanoparticles (NPs) have been successfully employed as antibacterial motifs; however, NPs leaching in addition to poor dispersion and overall reproducibility are major hurdles to further product development. In this study, the authors design and fabricate a smart antibacterial mixed-matrix membrane coating comprising colloidal lysozyme-templated gold nanoclusters as nanofillers in poly(ethylene oxide)/poly(butylene terephthalate) amphiphilic polymer matrix. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles-lysozyme functionalized gold nanoclusters disperse homogenously within the polymer matrix with no phase separation and zero NPs leaching. This mixed-matrix coating can successfully sense and inhibit bacterial contamination via a controlled release mechanism that is only triggered by bacteria. The system is coated on a common radiographic dental imaging device (photostimulable phosphor plate) that is prone to oral bacteria contamination. Variation and eventually disappearance of the red fluorescence surface under UV light signals bacterial infection. Kanamycin, an antimicrobial agent, is controllably released to instantly inhibit bacterial growth. Interestingly, the quality of the images obtained with these coated surfaces is the same as uncoated surfaces and thus the safe application of such smart coatings can be expanded to include other medical devices without compromising their utility.

Abstract
The development of new materials for fast and sensitive protease assay is in demand for timely diagnosis of diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, cancers, and Alzheimer disease. Herein, poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) brushes were synthesized from the surfaces of silica nanoparticles via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), and functionalized with series of proteolytically cleavable peptides for highly sensitive protease assay. Upon the proteolytic cleavage of the peptides, a short peptide fragment with fluorescent tag (GGK-FITC) is released to the solution, which can be easily detected with a benchtop fluorescence microscope. The grafting densities of PMAA brushes and peptides can be readily tuned by controlling the monomer concentrations of sodium methacrylate in the ATRP reaction. Because of the three-dimensional architecture of PMAA brushes, the loading amount of peptides can reach 21.4% of the total weight of functionalized silica particles (22.4 peptides/nm2), which is much higher than direct immobilization on silica nanoparticles without polymer brushes. Because of the high loading density of peptides, the limit of detection (LOD) of trypsin can reach 1.4 pM in buffer solution or 2.6 nM in nondiluted serum. By rational design of peptide substrates, the peptide-functionalized PMAA brushes can be readily expanded to detect other proteases, such as matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), a virtual biomarker for many cancers, with an LOD of 1.1 pM. The proteolytically cleavable peptide-functionalized PMAA brushes offer a starting point for fast and sensitive protease assay.

Abstract
The adhesion of bacteria and subsequent formation of biofilm on the surface of implants greatly affect the long-term use of the implants. The low molar mass gentamicin (GS) cations could hardly be directly incorporated into the multilayer films through alternately deposition with a polyanion. Herein, we have designed and constructed a (poly(acrylic acid)/(polyvinylpyrrolidone/chitosan))n ((PAA/(PVP/CHI))n) multilayer films through layer-by-layer self-assembly method. Through increasing the pH to destroy hydrogen bonding between PAA and PVP, PVP released into the solution and GS simultaneously combined with PAA through electrostatic interactions. The loading dosage of GS into the (PAA/(PVP/CHI))10 multilayer film was up to 153.84±18.64μg/cm2 and could be precisely tuned through changing the thickness of the films. The release behaviour of GS in phosphate buffer saline could also be regulated through thermal cross-linking of the films. The drug-loaded multilayer films displayed efficient against three kinds of Gram-positive and three kinds of Gram-negative bacteria and one kind of fungi, and good biocompatibility towards human lens epithelial cells. GS-loaded multilayer films-coated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) were compared with pristine PDMS in the rabbit subcutaneous S. aureus infection model. The antimicrobial-coated implants yielded a much lower degree of infections than pristine implants at day seven.

Abstract
Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is a widely used biomaterial. But there is still a challenge facing its unwanted bacterial adhesion because the subsequent biofilm formation usually leads to failure of related implants. Herein, we present a borneol-modified PMMA based on a facile and effective stereochemical strategy, generating antibacterial copolymer named as P(MMA-co-BA). It was synthesized by free radical polymerization and studied with different ratio between methyl methacrylate (MMA) and borneol acrylate (BA) monomers. NMR, GPC, and EA, etc., were used to confirm their chemical features. Their films were challenged with Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) and Bacillus subtilis (Gram-positive), showing a BA content dependent antibacterial performance. The minimum effective dose should be 10%. Then in vivo subcutaneous implantations in mice demonstrated their biocompatibilities through routine histotomy and HE staining. Therefore, P(MMA-co-BA)s not only exhibited their unique antibacterial character but also suggested a potential for the safe usage of borneol-modified PMMA frame and devices for further implantation.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors have many possible applications, but are limited by sensor chip surface fouling, which blocks immobilization and specific binding by the recognizer elements. Therefore, there is a pressing need for the development of antifouling surfaces. In this paper, the mechanisms of antifouling materials were firstly discussed, including both theories (hydration and steric hindrance) and factors influencing antifouling effects (molecular structures and self-assembled monolayer (SAM) architectures, surface charges, molecular hydrophilicity, and grafting thickness and density). Then, the most recent advances in antifouling materials applied on SPR biosensors were systematically reviewed, together with the grafting strategies, antifouling capacity, as well as their merits and demerits. These materials included, but not limited to, zwitterionic compounds, polyethylene glycol-based, and polysaccharide-based materials. Finally, the prospective research directions in the development of SPR antifouling materials were discussed. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a powerful tool in monitoring biomolecular interactions. The principle of SPR biosensors is the conversion of refractive index change caused by molecular binding into resonant spectral shifts. However, the fouling on the surface of SPR gold chips is ubiquitous and troublesome. It limits the application of SPR biosensors by blocking recognition element immobilization and specific binding. Hence, we write this paper to review the antifouling mechanisms and the recent advances of the design of antifouling materials that can improve the accuracy and sensitivity of SPR biosensors. To our knowledge, this is the first review focusing on the antifouling materials that were applied or had potential to be applied on SPR biosensors.

Abstract
Bacterial infection associated with indwelling medical devices and implants is a major clinical issue, and the prevention or treatment of such infections is challenging. Antimicrobial coatings offer a significant step toward addressing this important clinical problem. Antimicrobial coatings based on tethered antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) on hydrophilic polymer brushes have been shown to be one of the most promising strategies to avoid bacterial colonization and have demonstrated broad spectrum activity. Optimal combinations of the functionality of the polymer-brush-tethered AMPs are essential to maintaining long-term AMP activity on the surface. However, there is limited knowledge currently available on this topic. Here we report the development of potent antimicrobial coatings on implant surfaces by elucidating the roles of polymer brush chemistry and peptide structure on the overall antimicrobial activity of the coatings. We screened several combinations of polymer brush coatings and AMPs constructed on nanoparticles, titanium surfaces, and quartz slides on their antimicrobial activity and bacterial adhesion against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Highly efficient killing of planktonic bacteria by the antimicrobial coatings on nanoparticle surfaces, as well as potent killing of adhered bacteria in the case of coatings on titanium surfaces, was observed. Remarkably, the antimicrobial activity of AMP-conjugated brush coatings demonstrated a clear dependence on the polymer brush chemistry and peptide structure, and optimization of these parameters is critical to achieving infection-resistant surfaces. By analyzing the interaction of polymer-brush-tethered AMPs with model lipid membranes using circular dichroism spectroscopy, we determined that the polymer brush chemistry has an influence on the extent of secondary structure change of tethered peptides before and after interaction with biomembranes. The peptide structure also has an influence on the density of conjugated peptides on polymer brush coatings and the resultant wettability of the coatings, and both of these factors contributed to the antimicrobial activity and bacterial adhesion of the coatings. Overall, this work highlights the importance of optimizing the functionality of the polymer brush to achieve infection-resistant surfaces and presents important insight into the design criteria for the selection of polymers and AMPs toward the development of potent antimicrobial coating on implants.
