Abstract
The number of multi-drug-resistant bacteria has increased over the last few decades, which has caused a detrimental impact on public health worldwide. In resolving antibiotic resistance development among different bacterial communities, new antimicrobial agents and nanoparticle-based strategies need to be designed foreseeing the slow discovery of new functioning antibiotics. Advanced research studies have revealed the significant disinfection potential of two-dimensional nanomaterials (2D NMs) to be severed as effective antibacterial agents due to their unique physicochemical properties. This review covers the current research progress of 2D NMs-based antibacterial strategies based on an inclusive explanation of 2D NMs' impact as antibacterial agents, including a detailed introduction to each possible well-known antibacterial mechanism. The impact of the physicochemical properties of 2D NMs on their antibacterial activities has been deliberated while explaining the toxic effects of 2D NMs and discussing their biomedical significance, dysbiosis, and cellular nanotoxicity. Adding to the challenges, we also discussed the major issues regarding the current quality and availability of nanotoxicity data. However, smart advancements are required to fabricate biocompatible 2D antibacterial NMs and exploit their potential to combat bacterial resistance clinically.

Sunlight-Driven Photothermally Boosted Photocatalytic Eradication of Superbugs Using a Plasmonic Gold Nanoparticle-Decorated WO 3 Nanowire-Based Heterojunction. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:32256-32267. [PMID: 39072127 PMCID: PMC11270714 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c05327] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2024] [Revised: 06/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
Superbug infections are currently one of the biggest global health problems in our society. Herein, we report the design of a plasmonic gold nanoparticle (GNP)-decorated WO3 nanowire-based heterojunction for the proficient usage of sunlight-based renewable energy to inactivate 100% superbugs via photothermally boosted photocatalytic action. Additionally, a synergistic photothermal and photocatalytic approach has been used for sunlight-driven complete eradication of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae Escherichia coli (CRE E. coli) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) superbugs. Interestingly, photocatalytic activity of methylene blue (MB) dye degradation in the presence of 670 nm near-infrared light shows that photothermally boosted photocatalytic performance is much superior to that of only a photocatalytic or photothermal process. The observed higher photocatalytic performance for the heterojunction is because the plasmonic GNP enhanced the absorption capability at 670 nm and increased the temperature of the photocatalyst surface, which reduces the activation energy of the degradation reaction. Similarly, sunlight-driven photocatalytic experiments show 100% degradation of MB after 60 min of sunlight irradiation. Moreover, sunlight-based photocatalytic inactivation of MRSA and CRE E. coli experiments show 100% inactivation after 60 min of light irradiation.

Cetyltrimethylammonium-chloride assisted in situ metabolic incorporation of nano-sized ROS-generating cascade-reaction containers in Gram-positive and Gram-negative peptidoglycan layers for the control of bacterially-induced sepsis. Acta Biomater 2024; 181:347-361. [PMID: 38702010 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.04.045] [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: 01/26/2024] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
Cascade-reaction containers generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) as an alternative for antibiotic-based strategies for bacterial infection control, require endogenous oxygen-sources and ROS-generation close to or preferably inside target bacteria. Here, this is achieved by cetyltrimethylammonium-chloride (CTAC) assisted in situ metabolic labeling and incorporation of mesoporous SiO2-nanoparticles, dual-loaded with glucose-oxidase and Fe3O4-nanoparticles as cascade-reaction containers, inside bacterial cell walls. First, azide-functionalized d-alanine (D-Ala-N3) was inserted in cell wall peptidoglycan layers of growing Gram-positive pathogens. In Gram-negatives, this could only be achieved after outer lipid-membrane permeabilization, using a low concentration of CTAC. Low concentrations of CTAC had no adverse effect on in vitro blood clotting or hemolysis nor on the health of mice when blood-injected. Next, dibenzocyclooctyne-polyethylene-glycol modified, SiO2-nanoparticles were in situ click-reacted with d-Ala-N3 in bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan layers. Herewith, a two-step cascade-reaction is facilitated inside bacteria, in which glucose-oxidase generates H2O2 at endogenously-available glucose concentrations, while subsequently Fe3O4-nanoparticles catalyze generation of •OH from the H2O2 generated. Generation of •OH inside bacterial cell walls by dual-loaded mesoporous SiO2-nanoparticles yielded more effective in vitro killing of both planktonic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria suspended in 10 % plasma than SiO2-nanoparticles solely loaded with glucose-oxidase. Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacterially induced sepsis in mice could be effectively treated by in situ pre-treatment with tail-vein injected CTAC and d-Ala-N3, followed by injection of dual-loaded cascade-reaction containers without using antibiotics. This makes in situ metabolic incorporation of cascade-reaction containers as described attractive for further investigation with respect to the control of other types of infections comprising planktonic bacteria. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In situ metabolic-incorporation of cascade-reaction-containers loaded with glucose-oxidase and Fe3O4 nanoparticles into bacterial cell-wall peptidoglycan is described, yielding ROS-generation from endogenous glucose, non-antibiotically killing bacteria before ROS inactivates. Hitherto, only Gram-positives could be metabolically-labeled, because Gram-negatives possess two lipid-membranes. The outer membrane impedes direct access to the peptidoglycan. This problem was solved by outer-membrane permeabilization using a quaternary-ammonium compound. Several studies on metabolic-labeling perform crucial labeling steps during bacterial-culturing that in real-life should be part of a treatment. In situ metabolic-incorporation as described, can be applied in well-plates during in vitro experiments or in the body as during in vivo animal experiments. Surprisingly, metabolic-incorporation proceeded unhampered in blood and a murine, bacterially-induced sepsis could be well treated.

Abstract
Water splitting is promising, especially for energy and environmental applications; however, there are limited studies on the link between water splitting and cancer treatment. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) can be used to convert near-infrared (NIR) light to ultraviolet (UV) or visible (Vis) light and have great potential for biomedical applications because of their profound penetration ability, theranostic approaches, low self-fluorescence background, reduced damage to biological tissue, and low toxicity. UCNPs with photocatalytic materials can enhance the photocatalytic activities that generate a shorter wavelength to increase the tissue penetration depth in the biological microenvironment under NIR light irradiation. Moreover, UCNPs with a photosensitizer can absorb NIR light and convert it into UV/vis light and emit upconverted photons, which excite the photoinitiator to create H2, O2, and/or OH˙ via water splitting processes when exposed to NIR irradiation. Therefore, combining UCNPs with intensified photocatalytic and photoinitiator materials may be a promising therapeutic approach for cancer treatment. This review provides a novel strategy for explaining the principles and mechanisms of UCNPs and NIR-driven UCNPs with photocatalytic materials through water splitting to achieve therapeutic outcomes for clinical applications. Moreover, the challenges and future perspectives of UCNP-based photocatalytic materials for water splitting for cancer treatment are discussed in this review.

Abstract
Mesoporous titanium nanoparticles (MTN) have always been a concern and are considered to have great potential for overcoming antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In our study, MTN modified with functionalized UV-responsive ethylene imine polymer (PEI) was synthesized. The characterization of all products was performed by different analyses, including SEM, TEM, FT-IR, TGA, XRD, XPS, and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms. The typical antibacterial drug berberine hydrochloride (BH) was encapsulated in MTN-PEI. The process exhibited a high drug loading capacity (22.71 ± 1.12%) and encapsulation rate (46.56 ± 0.52%) due to its high specific surface area of 238.43 m2/g. Moreover, UV-controlled drug release was achieved by utilizing the photocatalytic performance of MTN. The antibacterial effect of BH@MTN-PEI was investigated, which showed that it could be controlled to release BH and achieve a corresponding antibacterial effect by UV illumination for different lengths of time, with bacterial lethality reaching 37.76% after only 8 min of irradiation. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of the nanoparticles have also been studied. The MIC of BH@MTN-PEI was confirmed as 1 mg/mL against Escherichia coli (E. coli), at which the growth of bacteria was completely inhibited during 24 h and the concentration of 5 mg/mL for BH@MTN-PEI was regarded as MBC against E. coli. Although this proof-of-concept study is far from a real-life application, it provides a possible route to the discovery and application of antimicrobial drugs.

Abstract
Respiratory signals are critical clinical diagnostic criteria for respiratory diseases and health conditions, and respiratory sensors play a crucial role in achieving the desired respiratory monitoring effect. High sensitivity to a single factor can improve the reliability of respiratory monitoring, and maintaining the hygiene of the sensors is also important for daily health monitoring. Herein, we propose a flexible Au-modified anatase titanium dioxide resistive respiratory sensor, which can be mechanically compliantly attached to curved surfaces for respiratory monitoring in different modalities (i.e., respiratory intensity, frequency, and rate). The uniform and preferentially oriented anatase titanium dioxide films gained by the polymer-assisted deposition technique can be fabricated on flexible substrates through a liquid-assisted transferring process. The Au modification can enhance surface plasmon resonance to facilitate the photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide, and the optimized distribution of Au on the surface of titanium dioxide film made the sensor have an excellent antibacterial effect. The uniquely designed encapsulation can effectively control the contact between the surface of titanium dioxide films and electrodes, allowing the flexible sensor to exhibit fast response time (0.71 s) and recovery time (1.06 s) to respiratory as well as insensitivity or low sensitivity to other factors (i.e., gas composition, humidity, temperature, stress, and strain). This work provided an effective strategy for flexible wearable respiratory sensors and has great potential in daily respiratory monitoring for health management and pandemic control.

Abstract
Microbial contamination and antibiotic pollution have threatened public health and it is important to develop a rapid and safe sterilization strategy. Among various disinfection strategies, photocatalytic antibacterial methods have drawn increasing attention due to their efficient disinfection performances and environment-friendly properties. Although there are some reviews about bacterial disinfection, specific reviews on photocatalysis focused on inorganic semiconductor nanomaterials are rarely reported. Herein, we present a systematic summary of recent disinfection developments based on inorganic nanomaterials (including metal oxides, sulfides, phosphides, carbon materials, and corresponding heterostructures) over the past five years. Moreover, key factors and challenges for inorganic nanomaterial-based photocatalytic disinfection are outlined, which holds great potential for future photocatalytic antibacterial applications.

Abstract
Bacteria-induced epidemics and infectious diseases are seriously threatening the health of people around the world. In addition, antibiotic therapy has been inducing increasingly more serious bacterial resistance, which makes it urgent to develop new treatment strategies to combat bacteria, including multidrug-resistant bacteria. Natural extracts displaying antibacterial activity and good biocompatibility have attracted much attention due to greater concerns about the safety of synthetic chemicals and emerging drug resistance. These antibacterial components can be isolated and utilized as antimicrobials, as well as transformed, combined, or wrapped with other substances by using modern assistive technologies to fight bacteria synergistically. This review summarizes recent advances in natural extracts from three kinds of sources-plants, animals, and microorganisms-for antibacterial applications. This work discusses the corresponding antibacterial mechanisms and the future development of natural extracts in antibacterial fields.

Nowadays, the increasing emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogenic microorganisms requires the search for alternative methods that do not cause drug resistance. Phototherapy strategies (PTs) based on the photoresponsive materials have become a new trend in the inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms due to their spatiotemporal controllability and negligible side effects. Among those phototherapy strategies, photocatalytic antimicrobial therapy (PCAT) has emerged as an effective and promising antimicrobial strategy in recent years. In the process of photocatalytic treatment, photocatalytic materials are excited by different wavelengths of lights to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) or other toxic species for the killing of various pathogenic microbes, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and algae. Therefore, this review timely summarizes the latest progress in the PCAT field, with emphasis on the development of various photocatalytic antimicrobials (PCAMs), the underlying antimicrobial mechanisms, the design strategies, and the multiple practical antimicrobial applications in local infections therapy, personal protective equipment, water purification, antimicrobial coatings, wound dressings, food safety, antibacterial textiles, and air purification. Meanwhile, we also present the challenges and perspectives of widespread practical implementation of PCAT as antimicrobial therapeutics. We hope that as a result of this review, PCAT will flourish and become an effective weapon against pathogenic microorganisms and antibiotic resistance.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 237:116929. [PMID: 37598839 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116929] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2023] [Revised: 08/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/22/2023]
Abstract
The accumulation of microbes especially in the air and in water bodies is causing the major disease outbreaks. Indoor environment remediation methods are necessary today to clean up these microbes. Among the remediation methods available, in situ generation of highly reactive and oxidizing radical species by advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) inactivate most of the microbes unselectively. Of these AOPs, photocatalytic microbial disinfection especially under indoor conditions is of great interest to maintain microbe-free indoor environment. For efficient microbes' inactivation under indoor conditions, the near IR and IR response of the photocatalysts must be improved. Though the photocatalytic disinfection of microbes using semiconductor-based photocatalysts has been extensively investigated, most of the photocatalysts that have been investigated are either weekly responsive or totally not irresponsive to IR photons due to inappropriate bandgap energies. Several strategies have been investigated to enhance the light harvesting properties of semiconductor based photocatalysts under indoor conditions and make them active to near IR and IR radiations. This review summarizes the recent progress in the field of materials for photocatalysts employed for microbial removal in indoor environments over the past decade as well as outlines key perspectives to enlighten future researches. The paper details the fundamentals of photocatalysis and basic properties of photocatalytic materials in the disinfection of common microbes under indoor conditions. The applications of photocatalytic materials in the disinfection of microbes in indoor environmental conditions are discussed and reviewed. Finally, the remaining challenges and future strategies/prospects in the design and synthesis of IR (and near IR) responsive photocatalysts are discussed.

[PMID: 37421081 DOI: 10.3390/mi14040848] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Revised: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 04/11/2023] [Indexed: 07/09/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of infrared LEDs with a magnetic solenoid field in lowering the quantity of gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and gram-negative Escherichia coli bacteria, as well as the best exposure period and energy dose for inactivating these bacteria. METHOD Research has been performed on a photodynamic therapy technique called photodynamic inactivation (PDI), which combines infrared LED light with a wavelength range of 951-952 nm and a solenoid magnetic field with a strength of 0-6 mT. The two, taken together, can potentially harm the target structure biologically. Infrared LED light and an AC-generated solenoid magnetic field are both applied to bacteria to measure the reduction in viability. Three different treatments infrared LED, solenoid magnetic field, and an amalgam of infrared LED and solenoid magnetic field, were used in this study. A factorial statistical ANOVA analysis was utilized in this investigation. RESULTS The maximum bacterial production was produced by irradiating a surface for 60 min at a dosage of 0.593 J/cm2, according to the data. The combined use of infrared LEDs and a magnetic field solenoid resulted in the highest percentage of fatalities for Staphylococcus aureus, which was 94.43 s. The highest percentage of inactivation for Escherichia coli occurred in the combination treatment of infrared LEDs and a magnetic field solenoid, namely, 72.47 ± 5.06%. In contrast, S. aureus occurred in the combined treatment of infrared LEDs and a magnetic field solenoid, 94.43 ± 6.63 percent. CONCLUSION Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli germs are inactivated using infrared illumination and the best solenoid magnetic fields. This is evidenced by the rise in the proportion of bacteria that died in treatment group III, which used a magnetic solenoid field and infrared LEDs to deliver a dosage of 0.593 J/cm2 over 60 min. According to the research findings, the magnetic field of the solenoid and the infrared LED field significantly impact the gram-positive bacteria S. aureus and the gram-negative bacteria E. coli.

Improving performance of cell imprinted PDMS by integrating boronate affinity and local post-imprinting modification for selective capture of circulating tumor cells from cancer patients. Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 223:115023. [PMID: 36542938 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2022.115023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2022] [Revised: 12/03/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Efficient capture of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from cancer patients is an important technique that may promote early diagnosis and prognosis monitoring of cancer. However, the existing systems have certain disadvantages, such as poor selectivity, low capture efficiency, consumption of antibodies, and difficulty in release of CTCs for downstream analysis. Herein, we fabricated an innovative PEGylated boronate affinity cell imprinted polydimethylsiloxane (PBACIP) for highly efficient capture of CTCs from cancer patients. The antibody-free PBACIP possessed hierarchical structure of imprinted cavities, which were inlaid with boronic acid modified SiO2 nanoparticles (SiO2@BA), so it could specifically capture target CTCs from biological samples due to the synergistic effect of boronate affinity and cell imprinting. Furthermore, PEGylation was accurately completed in the non-imprinted region by the template cells occupying the imprinted cavity, which not only retained the microstructure of original imprinted cavities, but also endowed PBACIP with hydrophilicity. The artificial PBACIP could efficiently capture human breast-cancer cells from biological sample. When 5 to 500 SKBR3 cells were spiked in 1 mL mice lysed blood, the capture efficiency reached 86.7 ± 11.5% to 96.2 ± 2.3%. Most importantly, the PBACIP was successfully used to capture CTCs from blood of breast cancer patients, and the captured CTCs were released for subsequent gene mutation analysis. The PBACIP can efficiently capture and release CTCs for downstream analysis, which provides a universal strategy toward individualized anti-tumor comprehensive treatments and has great potential in the future cell-based clinical applications.

Abstract
Developing highly effective antibacterial films to promote wound healing remains a huge challenge. Herein, homogeneous and self-standing CDs-PVA composite films (PVA3, PVA5 and PVA8) were constructed by doping various mass ratios (3, 5 and 8 wt%) of carbon dots (CDs) into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), which had no cracks or macroscopic defects. Moreover, the robust mechanical strength and flexibility enabled them to be cut into diverse patterns as required, which provided unique advantages for being employed as a wound dressing. PVA5 and PVA8 were powerful broad-spectrum bactericides and they could kill both Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria like Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) with the antibacterial efficacy over 90.0%. More significantly, the biocompatible films could be readily processed into a "band-aid" type dressing for wound healing. The PVA5 band-aids were just pasted on the wounds for two days and then removed, and the wounds were completely closed after fourteen days. Neither introducing any metals or antibiotics, nor with the help of any external activation, these kinds of CD-based films have the strengths of low cost, being easy to use, excellent biocompatibility and outstanding antibacterial performance, and are desirable wound dressings for various skin injuries.

Abstract
The rapid emergence of superbugs which are resistant to existing antibiotics is becoming a huge global threat to public health, which demands the discovery of next-generation antibacterial agents for combating superbugs. Herein, we report the design of a two-dimensional (2D) reduced graphene oxide (r-GO) and one-dimensional (1D) WO3 nanowire-based photothermal-photocatalytic heterostructure for combating multiantibiotic-resistant Salmonella DT104, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae Escherichia coli, and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus superbugs. In the presence of near-infrared (NIR) light, due to the generation of electrons and holes, the WO3-based heterostructure generates reactive oxygen species by photocatalytic reaction from water and oxygen, which kills superbugs. To enhance the photocatalytic superbug killing efficiency, r-GO has been used for suppressing the recombination of the photoinduced electron-hole pairs. Reported data show that NIR light-driven synergistic photocatalytic-photothermal processes can be used for 100% degradation of methylene blue using a heterostructure-based catalyst, and the photodegradation rate for the heterostructure is much better than the literature data for different types of WO3/GO-based nanocomposites. Experimentally, time-dependent antibacterial efficiency data reveals that the heterostructure can destroy 100% superbugs within 30 min of light exposure via a synergistic photothermal and photocatalytic mechanism, whereas the WO3 nanowire can kill around 35% superbugs only via photocatalytic action only and r-GO can kill 25% superbugs via photothermal action even after 30 min of exposure to light. Systematic time-dependent microscopy and spectroscopy studies reveal that the excellent antisuperbug activities for heterostructures are due to membrane damage, ATP, and DNA/RNA breakage. For possible real-life applications, sun light-based superbug inactivation shows 100% inactivation possible within 250 min of light exposure using 12 mg/mL heterostructures. The reported sun light-driven killing of superbugs provides a simple and versatile platform to combat drug-resistant superbugs.

Abstract
Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP)-based nanocomposites can address the intrinsic limitations associated with UCNPs and bestow new functions on UCNPs, which can facilitate the development and application of UCNPs. However, the fabrication of UCNP-based composites typically suffers from complex operations, long-drawn-out procedures, and even loss or damage of UCNPs. Herein, we report a tandem fabrication strategy for the preparation of UCNP-based nanocomposites, in which protons, confined in the non-aqueous polar solvent, can produce ligand-free UCNPs for the direct fabrication of a composite without further treatment. Our studies show that the confined protons can be generated by diverse materials and can yield different types of ligand-free nanomaterials for desired composites. This versatile strategy enables a simple but scalable fabrication of UCNP-based nanocomposites, and can be extended to other nanomaterial-based composites. These findings should provide a platform for constructing multifunctional UCNP-based materials, and benefit potential applications of UCNPs in varied fields.

Abstract
Bacterial infections remain the leading cause of death worldwide today. The emergence of antibiotic resistance has urged the development of alternative antibacterial technologies to complement or replace traditional antibiotic treatments. In this regard, metal nanomaterials have attracted great attention for their controllable antibacterial functions that are less prone to resistance. This review discusses a particular family of stimuli-activable metal-bearing nanomaterials (denoted as SAMNs) and the associated on-demand antibacterial strategies. The various SAMN-enabled antibacterial strategies stem from basic light and magnet activation, with the addition of bacterial microenvironment responsiveness and/or bacteria-targeting selectivity and therefore offer higher spatiotemporal controllability. The discussion focuses on nanomaterial design principles, antibacterial mechanisms, and antibacterial performance, as well as emerging applications that desire on-demand and selective activation (i.e., medical antibacterial treatments, surface anti-biofilm, water disinfection, and wearable antibacterial materials). The review concludes with the authors' perspectives on the challenges and future directions for developing industrial translatable next-generation antibacterial strategies.

Abstract
Inflammatory damage from bacterial biofilms usually causes the failure of tooth implantation. A promising solution for this challenge is to use an implant surface with a long-term, in-depth and efficient antibacterial feature. In this study, we developed an ultrasound-enhanced antibacterial implant surface based on Au nanoparticle modified TiO2 nanotubes (AuNPs-TNTs). As an artificial tooth surface, films based on AuNPs-TNTs showed excellent biocompatibility. Importantly, compared to bare titania surface, a larger amount of reactive oxygen radicals was generated on AuNPs-TNTs under an ultrasound treatment. For a proof-of-concept application, Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) was used as the model bacteria; the as-proposed AuNPs-TNTs exhibited significantly enhanced antibacterial activity under a simple ultrasound treatment. This antibacterial film offers a new way to design the surface of an artificial implant coating for resolving the bacterial infection induced failure of dental implants.

Abstract
One of the leading causes of death globally, especially in underdeveloped countries, is bacterial infection. Recently, the prevalence of infections from antibiotic-resistant bacteria has been increasing, which makes the need for innovative antibacterial wound dressings urgent. It is reported that g-C3 N4 -based flat silk cocoons (FSCs) with rechargeable antibacterial activity can efficiently generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) under daylight irradiation. The photoactive FSCs store the ROS and then release them in the dark. The engineered FSCs exhibit integrated properties of good biocompatibility, strong mechanical characteristics, robust photoactivity with photostorability, and excellent bactericidal efficiency (99.9% contact killing). In a rat model of infected wounds, the photoactive FSCs induce faster healing and reduce bacterial infections. The successful application of these FSC materials as wound dressings may provide a versatile platform for exploring the use of green photoactive antibacterial materials for accelerated wound healing and prevention of infections.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 214:113905. [PMID: 35948149 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.113905] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2022] [Revised: 06/28/2022] [Accepted: 07/11/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Novel 5-bromoindole (5B)-capped zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (5BZN) were synthesized to improve the antibacterial, antibiofilm, and disinfection processes for the control of microorganisms in wastewater treatment. When exposed to 5BZN, the biofilm density and cell attachment were reduced dramatically, as measured by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The 5BZN were also investigated for photodynamic treatment of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria and toxicity. The combination of 5B and ZnO exhibited strong antibacterial and antibiofilm activities against MDR bacteria even at low doses (20 μg/mL). After 12.5 mW/cm2 blue LED irradiation, the composite 5BZN showed superior photodynamic inactivation of two wastewater MDR, Enterobacter tabaci E2 and Klebsiella quasipneumoniae SC3, with cell densities reduced by 3.9 log CFU/mL and 4.7 log CFU/mL, respectively, after 120 min. The mechanism of bacterial inactivation was studied using a scavenging investigation, and H2O2 was identified mainly as the reactive species for bacterial inactivation. The 5BZN exhibited higher photodynamic inactivation towards the total coliform bacteria in wastewater effluents under a blue LED light intensity of 12.5 mW/cm2 with almost complete inactivation of the coliform bacteria cells within 40 min. Furthermore, when 5BZN (100 mg/L) was added to the reactor, the level of tetracycline antibiotic degradation was increased by 63.6% after 120 min. The toxicity test, animal model nematode studies and seed germination assays, showed that 5BZN is harmless, highlighting its tremendous potential as a self-healing agent in large-scale photodynamic disinfection processes.

Abstract
The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causative agent of the COVID-19, which is a global pandemic, has infected more than 552 million people, and killed more than 6.3 million people. SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted through airborne route in addition to direct contact and droplet modes, the development of disinfectants that can be applied in working spaces without evacuating people is urgently needed. TiO2 is well known with some features of the purification, antibacterial/sterilization, making it could be developed disinfectants that can be applied in working spaces without evacuating people. Facing the severe epidemic, we expect to fully expand the application of our proposed effective approach of mechanical coating technique (MCT), which can be prepared on a large-scale fabrication of an easy-to-use TiO2/Ti photocatalyst coating, with hope to curb the epidemic. The photocatalytic inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza virus, and the photocatalytic degradation of acetaldehyde (C2H4O) and formaldehyde (CH2O) has been investigated. XRD and SEM results show that anatase TiO2 successfully coats on the surface of Ti coatings, while the crystal structure of anatase TiO2 can be increased during the following oxidation in air. The catalytic activity towards methylene blue of TiO2/Ti coating balls has been significantly enhanced by the followed oxidation in air, showing a very satisfying photocatalytic degradation of C2H4O and CH2O. Notably, the TiO2/Ti photocatalyst coating balls demonstrate a significant antiviral activity, with a decrease rate of virus reached 99.96% for influenza virus and 99.99% for SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex process that greatly affects the normal physiological activities of genes, proteins, signaling pathways, tissues, and organs. Bacterial infection could easily lead to serious tissue damage during wound healing, thus countering wound infections becomes a major challenge for clinicians and nursing professionals. At present, the exploration of highly effective, low toxicity and environment friendly methods for wound healing is attracting considerable interest all over the world. Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have presented great potential for treating wound infections due to their unique characteristics of diversified functionality, large specific surface area, and high biocompatibility. These properties endow MOFs/MOF-based composites with an outstanding anti-wound infection effect, which is mainly attributed to the continuously released active components and the exerted catalytic activity with the assistance of phototherapy. In this review, the current progress of MOFs/MOF-based composites for the phototherapy of skin wounds is presented. Firstly, we illustrate the pathophysiological mechanisms, principles of phototherapy and the conventional methods for wound healing. Then, the structures and characteristics of MOFs are systematically summarized. Moreover, the review highlights the recent advances in the application of phototherapy for wound healing (including photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, and synergistic therapy) based on various MOFs/MOF-based composites. Finally, the challenges and perspectives are provided for the further development of MOF-based materials for medical application.

Abstract
This study, for the first time, developed a novel defective BiO2-x based collaborating system, where the near-infrared light (NIR) irradiation (λ > 700 nm) initiated persulfate activation and photocatalytic bacterial inactivation simultaneously. Vacancy-rich BiO2-x nanoplates possessed impressive NIR absorption and firstly realized persulfate activation under NIR irradiation. In this collaborating system, on one hand, the persulfate can be transformed into sulfate radicals through light/heat activation mode directly, which would be enhanced by the presence of vacancy-rich BiO2-x owing to its outstanding light and heat absorption ability. On the other hand, the photogenerated electrons can further efficiently react with persulfate and form sufficient reactive sulfate radicals. The sulfate radicals, synergizing with other reactive species (O2-, h+, etc.), achieved a 7-log Escherichia coli inactivation within 40 min. The systematic investigation of inactivation mechanism revealed that the reactive species caused the dysfunction of cellular respiration, ATP synthesis and bacterial membrane, followed by the severely oxidative damage to the antioxidative SOD and CAT enzymes and the generation of carbonylated protein. The final leakage of DNA and RNA implied the lethal damage to the bacteria cells. This work provided a new insight into the persulfate associated NIR driven remediation technology of controlling microbial contaminants.

Abstract
Anodic titanium dioxide nanotubes (TNT) have a range of beneficial theranostic properties. However, a lack of effective osseointegration is a problem frequently associated with the titanium dental implant surface. Here, we investigated whether bone-shaped nanotube titanium implants could enhance osseointegration via promoting initial release of vascular endothelial growth factor 165 (VEGF165) and dual release of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2). Thus, we generated cylindrical-shaped nanotubes (TNT1) and bone-shaped nanotubes (TNT2) through voltage-varying and time-varying electrochemical anodization methods, respectively. Additionally, we prepared rhBMP-2-loaded cylindrical-shaped nanotubes/VEGF165-loaded hydrogel (TNT-F1) and rhBMP-2-loaded bone-shaped nanotubes/VEGF165-loaded hydrogel (TNT-F2) drug delivery systems. We evaluated the characteristics and release kinetics of the drug delivery systems, and then analyzed the cytocompatibility and osteogenic differentiation of these specimens with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in vitro. Finally, we utilized a rat femur defect model to test the bone formation capacity of nanotube-hydrogel drug delivery system in vivo. Among these different nanotubes structures, the bone-shaped one was the optimum structure for growth factor release.

Abstract
Functional photothermal nanomaterials have gained widespread attention in the field of precise cancer therapy and early disease diagnosis due to their unique photothermal conversion properties. However, the relatively narrow temperature response range and the outputable accuracy of commercial thermometers limit the accurate detection of biomarkers. Herein, we designed a liposome-embedded Cu2-xAgxS amplification-based photothermal sensor for the accurate determination of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in health monitoring and point-of-care testing (POCT). The combinable 3D-printing detecting device monitored and visualized target signal changes in the testing system under the excitation of near-infrared (NIR) light, which was recorded and evaluated for possible pathogenicity by a smartphone. Notably, we predicted the potentially efficient thermal conversion efficiency of Cu2-xAgxS from the structure and charge density distribution, calculated by the first-principles and density functional theory (DFT), which provided a theoretical basis for the construction of novel photothermal materials, and the experimental results proved the correctness of the theoretical projections. Under optimal conditions, the photothermal immunoassay showed a dynamic linear range of 0.02-10 ng mL-1 with a detection limit of 11.2 pg mL-1. This work instructively introduces promising theoretical research and provides new insights for the development of sensitive portable photothermal biosensors.

Abstract
Background The rapid spread of infectious bacteria has brought great challenges to public health. It is imperative to explore effective and environment-friendly antibacterial modality to defeat antibiotic-resistant bacteria with high biosafety and broad-spectrum antibacterial property. Results Herein, biocompatible Cu3SnS4 nanoflakes (NFs) were prepared by a facile and low-cost fabrication procedure. These Cu3SnS4 NFs could be activated by visible light, leading to visible light-mediated photocatalytic generation of a myriad of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Besides, the plasmonic Cu3SnS4 NFs exhibit strong near infrared (NIR) absorption and a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 55.7%. The ROS mediated cellular oxidative damage and the NIR mediated photothermal disruption of bacterial membranes collaboratively contributed to the advanced antibacterial therapy, which has been validated by the efficient eradication of both Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains in vitro and in vivo. Meanwhile, the exogenous copper ions metabolism from the Cu3SnS4 NFs facilitated the endothelial cell angiogenesis and collagen deposition, thus expediting the wound healing. Importantly, the inherent localized surface plasmon resonance effect of Cu3SnS4 NFs empowered them as an active substrate for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) imaging and SERS-labeled bacteria detection. Conclusions The low cost and biocompatibility together with the solar-driven broad-spectrum photocatalytic/photothermal antibacterial property of Cu3SnS4 NFs make them a candidate for sensitive bacteria detection and effective antibacterial treatment.

Abstract
Tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive chemodynamic therapy (CDT) mediated by nanozymes has been extensively studied both experimentally and theoretically, but the low catalytic efficiency due to insufficient H2O2 in the TME and the poor biodegradability of the nanozymes are still main challenges for clinical translation of nanozymes. Herein, we designed a H2O2 self-supplying nanozyme bearing glucose oxidase (GOX) and polyethyleneimine based on a degradable iron-doped phosphate-based glass (FePBG) nanomimic (FePBG@GOX), which can convert endogenous glucose into toxic hydroxyl radicals. The GOX loaded on the nanozyme can effectively consume glucose in tumor cells to produce a large amount of H2O2 to make up for the lack of H2O2 in the TME. Thereafter, enormous hydroxyl radicals, based on a Fenton reaction of FePBG without any exogenous H2O2, are generated to induce severe apoptosis of tumor cells. The nanozyme exhibits enhanced in vitro cytotoxicity in a high-glucose medium than in a low-glucose medium, illustrating sufficient generation of H2O2 by GOX. The excellent in vivo antitumor efficacy is manifested by a high tumor growth inhibition ratio of 94.65% in model mice. Excellent intrinsic biodegradability owing to its phosphate-based glass nature is a remarkable advantage of the prepared FePBG nanozyme over most other reported nanozymes. Big concerns about side effects caused by long-time residence in living organisms are eliminated since it degrades not only in an acid medium but also in a neutral physiological environment. Therefore, this novel strategy of the TME-responsive H2O2 self-supplying nanozyme based on an endogenous cascade catalytic reaction opens up an avenue for designing degradable nanozymes in CDT.

Abstract
The emergence of bacterial resistance due to the evolution of microbes under antibiotic selection pressure, and their ability to form biofilm, has necessitated the development of alternative antimicrobial therapeutics. Physical stimulation, as a powerful antimicrobial method to disrupt microbial structure, has been widely used in food and industrial sterilization. With advances in nanotechnology, nanophysical antimicrobial strategies (NPAS) have provided unprecedented opportunities to treat antibiotic-resistant infections, via a combination of nanomaterials and physical stimulations. In this review, NPAS are categorized according to the modes of their physical stimulation, which include mechanical, optical, magnetic, acoustic, and electrical signals. The biomedical applications of NPAS in combating bacterial infections are systematically introduced, with a focus on their design and antimicrobial mechanisms. Current challenges and further perspectives of NPAS in the clinical treatment of bacterial infections are also summarized and discussed to highlight their potential use in clinical settings. The authors hope that this review will attract more researchers to further advance the promising field of NPAS, and provide new insights for designing powerful strategies to combat bacterial resistance.

Abstract
Nano-antibacterial agents can play a critical role in chronic wound management. However, the design of an intelligent nanosystem that can provide both a visual warning of infection and precise sterilization remains a hurdle. Herein, a rod-like porphyrin-based metal-organic framework theranostic nanosystem (Zn-TCPP nanorods) is fabricated via coordination chelation between tetrakis(4-carboxylphenyl)porphyrin and zinc ions. This system can show significant fluorescence activation in response to the local elevated pH shown by chronic wounds, a main indicator of wound infection. Meanwhile, under the guidance of fluorescence imaging, the highly spatiotemporally precise photodynamic inactivation of microorganisms can be carried out without the destruction of surrounding normal cells and nascent cells. The results demonstrated that the Zn-TCPP nanorods were a highly sensitive and reversible probe for sensing alkaline pH levels. Alterations in the fluorescence of the Zn-TCPP nanorods can accurately indicate the infection status and heterogeneity of infection within the wound bed. Under specific light irradiation, the Zn-TCPP nanorods can exterminate 97% of Staphylococcus aureus via the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Assays of extensive wounds demonstrate that the precise fluorescence-imaging-guided suppression of bacterial infection can significantly reduce the mouse mortality rate and accelerate wound healing. This system provides the opportunity for "precision medicine" relating to chronic wounds and some large-area wounds.

Abstract
As a promising technique to potentially address the energy crisis and environmental issues, photocatalysis has been reported widely to exhibit various outstanding behaviors in production of new fuels/chemicals and treatment of contaminants. The photocatalytic performance is extremely dependent on the used photocatalysts, so that the design and preparation of efficient photocatalysts are critically important for significantly improving the photocatalytic activity. Among various strategies, the hybridization of metal with semiconductors has recently been attracting more and more research interest owing to their expended spectral absorption, promoted transferring rate of charge carriers and Plasmon-enhanced effect. In this minireview, the metal-facilitated hybrid photocatalysts are overviewed comprehensively to first reveal unique functions of metals in improvement of photoactivity and summarize the emerging metal-involved hybrid systems. Subsequently, the synthetic methods towards hybrid photocatalysts are introduced and their practical applications are emphasized in environmental remediation including degradation of organic pollutants, conversion of harmful gases, treatment of heavy metal ions and sterilization of bacteria. At the end, the challenges for industrializing these hybrid photocatalysts are discussed carefully and future development is suggested rationally.

Abstract
The bacteria redox balance between oxidizing and reducing species plays a critical role in bacterial activities, and the disruption of this homeostasis offers a flexible antibacterial strategy to combat bacterial multidrug resistance. Here, the ligand exchange strategy of Au NCs was first developed to construct an oxidative stress amplifier. We cleverly utilized the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation ability of histidine (His)-stabilized Au NCs. Cinnamaldehyde (CA) was modified on the surface of Au NCs through an aldimine condensation reaction, and the modification of CA on the surface of Au NCs further accelerated ROS generation. Meanwhile, the strong Au-S interaction between CA-Au NCs and thiols facilitated the ligand exchange of surface histidine-cinnamaldehyde (His-CA) with thiol molecules, causing the consumption of thiols in bacteria and the release of His-CA, which thus finally resulted in efficient bacterial cell death. CA-Au NCs showed excellent antibacterial effects on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), including 48-h biofilm removal and the treatment of a pig skin wound infection model, representing a promising antibacterial agent for clinical applications.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has shown great potential in infection treatment. However, the shallow depth of the short wavelength light and the low reactive oxygen species (ROS) production hinder its development. A strategy that can achieve a second near-infrared (NIR-II) light that is a long wavelength induced multi-intensified antibacterial PDT is most critical. Herein, hybrid plasmonic Au/CdSexSy with precise Ag doping (ACA) nanodumbbells are rationally designed for ideal NIR-II light induced antibacterial PDT. Plasmonic Au nanorods extend the photocatalytic activity of ACA to NIR-II regions, which provides a basis for NIR-II light induced PDT. More importantly, multi-intensified PDT can be realized by the following creativities: (i) elaborate design of as-synthesized nanodumbbells that allows for electron holes to be redistributed in different regions simultaneously, (ii) the efficient hot-electrons injection that benefits from the ratio tailoring of anions ratio of Se and S, and (iii) the dopant Ag level inhibiting the combination of electron holes. The nanodumbbells create effective hot-electrons injection and a separation of electron holes, which provides great convenience for the production of ROS and allows NIR-II light induced PDT for the inhibition of bacteria and biofilms. As a result, comparably, our well-defined ACA hybrid nanodumbbells can generate about 40-fold superoxide radicals (·O2-) and more hydroxyl radicals (·OH). Therefore, the MIC value of the as-synthesized nanodumbbells is lower than the value of 1/16 of core-shell ACA. In vivo results further demonstrate that our nanodumbbells exhibit excellent PDT efficacy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Malignant melanoma is one of the most devastating types of cancer with rapid relapse and low survival rate. Novel strategies for melanoma treatment are currently needed to enhance therapeutic efficiency for this disease. In this study, we fabricated a multifunctional drug delivery system that incorporates dacarbazine (DTIC) and indocyanine green (ICG) into manganese-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN(Mn)) coupled with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and photothermal imaging (PI), for achieving the superior antitumor effect of combined chemo-photothermal therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS MSN(Mn) were characterized in terms of size and structural properties, and drug loading and release efficiency MSN(Mn)-ICG/DTIC were analyzed by UV spectra. Photothermal imaging effect and MR imaging effect of MSN(Mn)-ICG/DTIC were detected by thermal imaging system and 3.0 T MRI scanner, respectively. Then, the combined chemo-phototherapy was verified in vitro and in vivo by morphological evaluation, ultrasonic and pathological evaluation. RESULTS The as-synthesized MSN(Mn) were characterized as mesoporous spherical nanoparticles with 125.57±5.96 nm. MSN(Mn)-ICG/DTIC have the function of drug loading-release which loading ratio of ICG and DTIC could reach to 34.25±2.20% and 50.00±3.24%, and 32.68±2.10% of DTIC was released, respectively. Manganese doping content could reach up to 65.09±2.55 wt%, providing excellent imaging capability in vivo which the corresponding relaxation efficiency was 14.33 mM-1s-1. And outstanding photothermal heating ability and stability highlighted the potential biomedical applicability of MSN(Mn)-ICG/DTIC to kill cancer cells. Experiments by A375 melanoma cells and tumor-bearing mice demonstrated that the compound MSN(Mn)-ICG/DTIC have excellent biocompatibility and our combined therapy platform delivered a superior antitumor effect compared to standalone treatment in vivo and in vitro. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrate that composite MSN(Mn)-ICG/DTIC could serve as a multifunctional platform to achieve a highly effective chemo-photothermal combined therapy for melanoma treatment.

Abstract
The healing process of open wounds is a competition between cells and bacteria. Therefore, a strategy that can quickly remove bacteria and promote cell proliferation to accelerate wound healing is urgently needed. Inspired by photoelectric synergy tactics, we improved both the optical and electrical response of zinc oxide (ZnO) through the modification of polydopamine (PDA) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), thus obtaining a ZnO composite named PDA-rGO-ZnO (PrZ). Combined with the photoelectric double stimulation, the sterilization target could be completed from multiple physical levels simultaneously. More importantly, the band gap of ZnO was considerably narrowed by PDA encapsulation. The encapsulated ZnO thus could be effectively excited by pure yellow light (YL) with a moderate long wavelength, which fundamentally improved its safety in exerting photocatalytic antibacterial properties. In addition, we found that electrical stimulation (ES) could not only help to clear bacteria, but also facilitate the formation of new blood vessels. Animal experiments further showed that PrZ efficaciously regulated the immune response around the wound surface, promoted cell proliferation and the formation of collagen fibers, thereby accelerating wound healing.

Abstract
Increase in infections with Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is a serious global challenge in healthcare. Sinoporphyrin sodium (DVDMS) combined with photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) can effectively eradicate Gram-positive organisms. However, the poor penetration of DVDMS into the Gram-negative bacterial cell membrane and bacterial biofilm greatly limits the photo-inspired antimicrobial activity. This study optimized the cationic lipid-mediated nano-DVDMS delivery to improve the cellular uptake, and evaluated the antimicrobial efficacy of cationic DVDMS-liposome (CDL)-provoked PACT in both P. aeruginosa and its multidrug resistant strain. The results showed that the positively charged liposome modification promoted the enrichment of DVDMS in Gram-negative bacteria. CDL-PACT-produced ROS and caused bacterial death, accompanied by the decreased expression levels of virulence factor-related genes. The P. aeruginosa-infected burn model indicated satisfactory bacterial eradication and accelerated wound healing after CDL-PACT, in addition to gradually increasing bFGF, VEGF, TGF-β1 and Hyp levels and reducing TNF-α and IL-6, with no detectable side-effects. Overall, these findings provide fundamental knowledge that enables the design of feasible and efficient PACT treatments, including biophysical membrane permeabilization and photodynamic eradication, which are promising to overcome the infection and resistance of highly opportunistic Gram-negative bacteria.

Abstract
An approximately monochromatic red upconversion (UC) emission is successfully realized in NaScF4: Yb3+/Er3+ nanoparticles (NPs) through Mn2+ ions doping without phase transition. The Mn2+ ions play a role of bridge during the energy transfer process from green emission state 2H11/2/4S3/2 of Er3+ to red emission state 4F9/2 of Er3+, which significantly accelerates the red UC enhancement. The strongest red luminescence is observed in the sample containing 10% Mn2+ ions (Mn-10) with an enhancement factor of 7.5 times. Meanwhile, an ultrasensitive optical thermometry in the physiological temperature region can be realized by utilizing the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) between two thermally coupled Stark transitions of Er3+: 4I13/2 → 4I15/2, locating in the near-infrared (NIR) long wavelength region of the second biological window. Its relative sensitivity SR can be expressed by 340/T2, which is much higher than most optical thermometers based on thermally coupled Stark sublevels reported by the previous papers. Beyond that, an ex vivo experiment is designed to evaluate the penetration depth of the red and NIR emission of Mn-10 in the biological tissues, revealing that they can reach depth of at least 3 mm and 5 mm respectively. More importantly, the increasing tissue thickness has almost no effect on the FIR values. All the results show that the present sample is a promising bi-functional nano probe which can be used for bioimaging and temperature sensing in the deep tissues through the strong red UC emission and ultrasensitive NIR optical thermometer, respectively.

Abstract
Herein, we describe a customized approach for facile preparation of three-dimensional (3D) NiO nanoflakes (NFs)/carbon fiber meshwork (CFM) and its validation as a common photocathode matrix for photoelectrochemical (PEC) bioanalysis, which to our knowledge has not been reported. Specifically, 3D NiO NFs/CFM was fabricated by a sequential liquid phase deposition and annealing process, which was then characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectrum, UV-vis absorption spectra and N2 adsorption-desorption measurement. Sensitized by BiOI and incorporated with an alkaline phosphatase (ALP)/tyrosinase (TYR) bi-enzyme cascade system, a sensitive split-type cathodic PEC bioanalysis for the determination of ALP was achieved. This method can detect ALP concentrations down to 3 × 10-5 U L-1 with a linear response range of 0.001-10 U L-1. Moreover, this proposed system exhibited good selectivity, stability and excellent performance for real sample analysis. This research features the facile preparation of 3D NiO NFs/CFM that could acts as a universal matrix for photocathodic analysis, and is envisioned to stimulate more effort for advanced 3D photocathode for PEC bioanalysis and beyond.

Abstract
Therapeutic nanomaterials serve as an important platform for drug delivery under image guidance. Despite significant growth and broad applications, their design specifics remain a subject of continued interest primarily due to multifunctional factors involved, ranging from nanomaterial properties, imaging modalities, and therapeutic agents to activation strategies. This review article summarizes key findings on their design characteristics with a particular interest in strategies developed for therapeutic activation (release). First, their activation can be controlled using either an endogenous factor including low pH and glutathione or an external stimulation by light, ultrasound, or electromagnetic field. The former is passively controlled from a spatiotemporal aspect compared to the latter, which is otherwise actively controlled through drug linker photolysis, nanomaterial disassembly, or gate opening. Second, light stimulation serves a most notable strategy due to its essential role in controlled drug release, photothermal activation (hyperthermia), and photodynamic production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Third, some of those activation strategies that rely on ultrasound, photothermal, photoacoustic, magnetic field, or X-ray radiation are dually functional due to their role in imaging modalities. In summary, this review article presents recent advances and new insights that pertain to nanotherapeutic delivery systems. It also addresses their technical limitations associated with tissue penetration (light), spatial resolution (ultrasound, hyperthermia), and occurrence of cellular resistance (ROS).

Abstract
Antibacterial wound dressings can effectively avoid the residual of antibacterial nanomaterials for injection in vivo, reduce their biological toxicity to normal cells and tissues, making them be widely applied in biomedical field. Herein, an approach of combining ion-crosslinking, in-situ reduction and microwave-assisted methods was employed to prepare chitosan-copper-gallic acid nanocomposites (CS-Cu-GA NCs) with dual-functional nano-enzyme characteristics (oxidase- and peroxidase-like functions). The oxidase-like activity of CS-Cu-GA NCs can facilitate the production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) when it contacted with physiologically relevant antioxidants (AH2) in bacteria. Subsequently, H2O2 was catalyzed to generate hydroxyl radicals (OH) under the peroxidase-like activity of CS-Cu-GA NCs. Furthermore, CS-Cu-GA NCs integrate the inherent antibacterial properties of chitosan, Cu NPs and Cu2+. Animal experiments revealed that the antibacterial dressing incorporating CS-Cu-GA NCs exhibited its effective promotion of S. aureus-infected wounds healing, as well as no damage to normal tissues. Besides, the antibacterial dressing was prepared to a band aid with excellent water swelling and antibacterial properties, which was further fixed in a medical tape to construct a portable antibacterial product that can be applied to the surface of human skin and showed excellent waterproof performance, providing a new insight for the construction of clinical antibacterial wound healing products.

Abstract
Although photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective, minimally invasive therapeutic modality with advantages in highly localized and specific tumor treatments, large and deep-seated cancers within the body cannot be successfully treated due to low transparency to visible light. To improve the therapeutic efficiency of tumor treatment in deep tissue and reduce the side effects in normal tissue, this study developed a near-infrared (NIR)-triggered upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP)-based photosensitizer (PS) carrier as a new theranostics system. The NaYF4:Yb/Er UCNPs were synthesized by a hydrothermal method, producing nanoparticles of a uniformly small size (≈20 nm) and crystalline morphology of the hexagonal phase. These UCNPs were modified with folic acid-conjugated biocompatible block copolymers through a bidentate dihydrolipoic acid linker. The polymer modified hexagonal phase UCNPs (FA-PEAH-UCNPs) showed an improved dispersibility in the aqueous solution and strong NIR-to-vis upconversion fluorescence. The hydrophobic PS, pheophorbide a (Pha), was then conjugated to the stable vectors. Moreover, these UCNP-based Pha carriers containing tumor targeting folic acid ligands exhibited the significantly enhanced cellular uptake efficiency as well as PDT treatment efficiency. These results suggested that this system could extend the excitation wavelength of PDT to the NIR region and effectively improve therapeutic efficiency of PSs.

Abstract
Boosting photocatalytic performance via external fields is an alternative and effective solution for improving the application performance of existing photocatalysts. Herein, using α-Fe2O3-decorated TiO2 nanotube arrays as a model, we demonstrate the influence of magnetic field (MF)-direction on the photogenerated charge-carrier transfer behavior at plasmonic metal/semiconductor interfaces. For the first time, the photocatalytic activity is also found to correlate with the plasmonic metal species while applying an external MF. As verified by first-principles calculations, the spin-orbit coupling of metal contributes to the charge-carrier transfer. To highlight the anisotropic MF-tuning effect in practical applications, the as-prepared architecture is applied for photocatalysis-triggered drug delivery. The delivery rate can be remarkably accelerated by ∼38% under a tiny MF (0.4 T) with the proper direction. The findings in this research may provide new insight into designing semiconductor architectures for boosting the photocatalytical performance in an external MF.

Abstract
Bacterial infectious diseases and bacterial-infected environments have been threatening the health of human beings all over the world. In view of the increased bacteria resistance caused by overuse or improper use of antibiotics, antibacterial biomaterials are developed as the substitutes for antibiotics in some cases. Among them, antibacterial hydrogels are attracting more and more attention due to easy preparation process and diversity of structures by changing their chemical cross-linkers via covalent bonds or noncovalent physical interactions, which can endow them with various specific functions such as high toughness and stretchability, injectability, self-healing, tissue adhesiveness and rapid hemostasis, easy loading and controlled drug release, superior biocompatibility and antioxidation as well as good conductivity. In this review, the recent progress of antibacterial hydrogel including the fabrication methodologies, interior structures, performances, antibacterial mechanisms, and applications of various antibacterial hydrogels is summarized. According to the bacteria-killing modes of hydrogels, several representative hydrogels such as silver nanoparticles-based hydrogel, photoresponsive hydrogel including photothermal and photocatalytic, self-bacteria-killing hydrogel such as inherent antibacterial peptides and cationic polymers, and antibiotics-loading hydrogel are focused on. Furthermore, current challenges of antibacterial hydrogels are discussed and future perspectives in this field are also proposed.
