Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 270:132120. [PMID: 38740153 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132120] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/04/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
A novel composite hydrogel was synthesized via Schiff base reaction between chitosan and di-functional poly(ethylene glycol) (DF-PEG), incorporating glucose oxidase (GOx) and cobalt metal-organic frameworks (Co-MOF). The resulting CS/PEG/GOx@Co-MOF composite hydrogel was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The results confirmed successful integration and uniform distribution of Co-MOF within the hydrogel matrix. Functionally, the hydrogel exploits the catalytic decomposition of glucose by GOx to generate gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), while Co-MOF gradually releases metal ions and protects GOx. This synergy enhanced the antibacterial activity of the composite hydrogel against both Gram-positive (S. aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli), outperforming conventional chitosan-based hydrogels. The potential of the composite hydrogel in treating wound infections was evaluated through antibacterial and wound healing experiments. Overall, CS/PEG/GOx@Co-MOF hydrogel holds great promise for the treatment of wound infections, paving the way for further research and potential clinical applications.

Abstract
The presence of bacteria directly affects wound healing. Chitosan-based hydrogel biomaterials are a solution as they offer advantages for wound-healing applications due to their strong antimicrobial properties. Here, a double-cross-linking chitosan-based hydrogel with antibacterial, self-healing, and injectable properties is reported. Thiolated chitosan was successfully prepared, and the thiolated chitosan molecules were cross-linked by Ag-S coordination to form a supramolecular hydrogel. Subsequently, the amine groups in the thiolated chitosan covalently cross-linked with genipin to further promote hydrogel formation. In vitro experimental results indicate that hydrogel can release Ag+ over an extended time, achieving an antibacterial rate of over 99% against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Due to the reversible and dynamic feature of Ag-S coordination, an antibacterial hydrogel exhibited injectable and self-healing capabilities. Additionally, the hydrogel showed excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO)-releasing coating is promising to enhance the biocompatibility of medical devices. In this study, polyurethane (PU) and S-nitrosated keratin (KSNO) were dissolved with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and tetrahydrofuran (THF) to prepare a coating solution. This solution is facile to form a porous coating on various substrates based on solvent-evaporation-induced phase separation (SEIPS). The coating could continuously release NO up to 200 h in the presence of ascorbic acid (Asc). In addition, the coating could accelerate endothelialization by promoting the viability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) while inhibiting the proliferation of human umbilical artery smooth muscle cells (HUASMCs). Furthermore, the coating had good antibacterial activity and blood compatibility. Taken together, this universal coating provides wider potential applications in the field of cardiovascular implants.

Chitosan-salvianolic acid B coating on the surface of nickel-titanium alloy inhibits proliferation of smooth muscle cells and promote endothelialization. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1300336.

Abstract
Introduction: Intracranial stents are of paramount importance in managing cerebrovascular disorders. Nevertheless, the currently employed drug-eluting stents, although effective in decreasing in-stent restenosis, might impede the re-endothelialization process within blood vessels, potentially leading to prolonged thrombosis development and restenosis over time. Methods: This study aims to construct a multifunctional bioactive coating to enhance the biocompatibility of the stents. Salvianolic acid B (SALB), a bioactive compound extracted from Salvia miltiorrhiza, exhibits potential for improving cardiovascular health. We utilized dopamine as the base and adhered chitosan-coated SALB microspheres onto nickel-titanium alloy flat plates, resulting in a multifunctional drug coating. Results: By encapsulating SALB within chitosan, the release period of SALB was effectively prolonged, as evidenced by the in vitro drug release curve showing sustained release over 28 days. The interaction between the drug coating and blood was examined through experiments on water contact angle, clotting time, and protein adsorption. Cellular experiments showed that the drug coating stimulates the proliferation, adhesion, and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Discussion: These findings indicate its potential to promote re-endothelialization. In addition, the bioactive coating effectively suppressed smooth muscle cells proliferation, adhesion, and migration, potentially reducing the occurrence of neointimal hyperplasia and restenosis. These findings emphasize the exceptional biocompatibility of the newly developed bioactive coating and demonstrate its potential clinical application as an innovative strategy to improve stent therapy efficacy. Thus, this coating holds great promise for the treatment of cerebrovascular disease.

Abstract
Contact-killing surfaces with the ability to rapidly adsorb and kill microorganisms are desperately needed since the rapid outbreak of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria poses a serious threat to human health. Therefore, a series of amphiphilic nanoengineered polyquaterniums (ANPQs) were synthesized, and immobilizing ANPQs onto equipment surfaces provided a simple method for preventing microbial infections. The strong charge-positive property of ANPQ offered the possibility of rapid adsorption and efficient killing, such that all bacteria are adsorbed after 10 seconds of contact with ANPQ-treated fabrics, and more than 99.99% of pathogens are killed within 30 seconds. Surprisingly, the adsorption-killing mechanism made it difficult for bacteria to develop resistance to ANPQ coating, even after long-term repeated treatment. Importantly, in a Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection model, ANPQ-treated fabrics exhibited a potent anti-infectious performance while remaining nontoxic. It is envisaged that the strategy of using ANPQ coating undoubtedly provides a promising candidate for fighting MDR strains.

Abstract
Carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCh) is a unique polysaccharide with functional groups that can develop positive and negative charges due to the abundant numbers of amine and carboxylic acid groups. CMCh is widely used in different areas due to its excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, water solubility, and chelating ability. CMCh microgels were synthesized in a microemulsion environment using divinyl sulfone (DVS) as a crosslinking agent. CMCh microgel with tailored size and zeta potential values were obtained in a single stem by crosslinking CMCh in a water-in-oil environment. The spherical microgel structure is confirmed by SEM analysis. The sizes of CMCh microgels varied from one micrometer to tens of micrometers. The isoelectric point of CMCh microgels was determined as pH 4.4. Biocompatibility of CMCh microgels was verified on L929 fibroblasts with 96.5 ± 1.5% cell viability at 1 mg/mL concentration. The drug-carrying abilities of CMCh microgels were evaluated by loading Vancomycin (Van) antibiotic as a model drug. Furthermore, the antibacterial activity efficiency of Van-loaded CMCh microgels (Van@CMCh) was investigated. The MIC values of the released drug from Van@CMCh microgels were found to be 68.6 and 7.95 µg/mL against E. coli and S. aureus, respectively, at 24 h contact time. Disk diffusion tests confirmed that Van@CMCh microgels, especially for Gram-positive (S. aureus) bacteria, revealed long-lasting inhibitory effects on bacteria growth up to 72 h.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) releasing vascular graft is promising due to its merits of thromboembolism reduction and endothelialization promotion. In this study, keratin-based NO donor of S-nitrosated keratin (KSNO) was blended with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and further crosslinked with sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) to afford PVA/KSNO biocomposite films. These films could release NO sustainably for up to 10 days, resulting in the promotion of HUVECs growth and the inhibition of HUASMCs growth. In addition, these films displayed good blood compatibility and antibacterial activity. Taken together, these films have potential applications in vascular grafts.

Abstract
The use of hydrogel dressings has become increasingly popular as a scaffold for skin tissue engineering. Herein, we have developed an innovative wound dressing using chitosan, fibrinogen, nisin, and EDTA as an effective antibacterial scaffold for wound treatment. The structural and functional characteristics of the hydrogel, including morphology, mechanical strength, drug encapsulation and release, swelling behaviors, blood coagulation, cytotoxicity, and antibacterial activity, were studied. Spectroscopic studies indicated that the attachment of chitosan to fibrinogen is associated with minimal change in its secondary structure; subsequently, at higher temperatures, it is expected to preserve fibrinogen's conformational stability. Mechanical and blood coagulation analyses indicated that the incorporation of fibrinogen into the hydrogel resulted in accelerated clotting and enhanced mechanical properties. Our cell studies showed biocompatibility and non-toxicity of the hydrogel along with the promotion of cell migration. In addition, the prepared hydrogel indicated an antibacterial behavior against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Interestingly, the in vivo data revealed enhanced tissue regeneration and recovery within 17 days in the studied animals. Taken together, the results obtained from in vitro and histological assessments indicate that this innovatively designed hydrogel shows good potential as a candidate for wound healing.

Abstract
Bone defect combined with drug-resistant bacteria-related infection is a thorny challenge in clinic. Herein, 3D-printed polyhydroxyalkanoates/β-tricalcium phosphate (PHA/β-TCP, PT) scaffolds were prepared by fused deposition modeling. Then copper-containing carboxymethyl chitosan/alginate (CA/Cu) hydrogels were integrated with the scaffolds via a facile and low-cost chemical crosslinking method. The resultant PT/CA/Cu scaffolds could not only promote proliferation but also osteogenic differentiation of preosteoblasts in vitro. Moreover, PT/CA/Cu scaffolds exhibited a strong antibacterial activity towards a broad-spectrum of bacteria including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) through inducing the intercellular generation of reactive oxygen species. In vivo experiments further demonstrated that PT/CA/Cu scaffolds significantly accelerated bone repair of cranial defects and efficiently eliminated MRSA-related infection, showing potential for application in infected bone defect therapy.

Abstract
The growing demand for drug carriers and green-technology-based tissue engineering materials has enabled the fabrication of different types of micro- and nano-assemblies. Hydrogels are a type of material that have been extensively investigated in recent decades. Their physical and chemical properties, such as hydrophilicity, resemblance to living systems, swelling ability and modifiability, make them suitable to be exploited for many pharmaceutical and bioengineering applications. This review deals with a brief account of green-manufactured hydrogels, their characteristics, preparations, importance in the field of green biomedical technology and their future perspectives. Only hydrogels based on biopolymers, and primarily on polysaccharides, are considered. Particular attention is given to the processes of extracting such biopolymers from natural sources and the various emerging problems for their processing, such as solubility. Hydrogels are catalogued according to the main biopolymer on which they are based and, for each type, the chemical reactions and the processes that enable their assembly are identified. The economic and environmental sustainability of these processes are commented on. The possibility of large-scale processing in the production of the investigated hydrogels are framed in the context of an economy aimed at waste reduction and resource recycling.

Abstract
Due to thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia, small-diameter vascular grafts have poor long-term patency. A combination strategy based on nitric oxide (NO) and anticoagulants has the potential to address those issues. In this study, poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) mats were prepared by electrospinning and coated with tannic acid (TA)/copper ion complexes. The chelated copper ions endowed the mats with sustained NO generation by catalytic decomposition of endogenous S-nitrosothiol. Subsequently, zwitterionic carboxybetaine acrylate (CBA) and argatroban (AG) were immobilized on the mats. The introduced AG and CBA had synergistic effects on the improvement of blood compatibility, resulting in reduced platelet adhesion and prolonged blood clotting time. The biocomposite mats selectively promoted the proliferation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells while inhibiting the proliferation and migration of human umbilical arterial smooth muscle cells under physiological conditions. In addition, the prepared mats exhibited antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Collectively, the prepared mats hold great promise as artificial small-diameter vascular grafts.

Abstract
Hydrogels are promising candidates for wound healing bandages because they can mimic the native skin microenvironment. Additionally, there is increasing growth in the use of naturally derived materials and plant-based biomaterials to produce healthcare products with healing purposes because of their biocompatibility and biodegradation properties. In this study, cellulose extracted from biodiverse sources in Ecuador was used as the raw material for the fabrication of hydrogels with enhanced antifouling properties. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the cellulose and hydrogels. In vitro and ex vivo tests were performed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of hydrogels against Gram-negative bacteria as a model. Finally, the hydrogel synthesized with cellulose extracted from pitahaya showed improved antibacterial activity when applied over pigskin as a proof of concept for wound dressing. Therefore, the present results suggest that cellulose-based hydrogels are good candidates for application as wound dressings.

Strategies to improve bioactive and antibacterial properties of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) for use as orthopedic implants. Mater Today Bio 2022; 16:100402.

Abstract
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has gradually become the mainstream material for preparing orthopedic implants due to its similar elastic modulus to human bone, high strength, excellent wear resistance, radiolucency, and biocompatibility. Since the 1990s, PEEK has increasingly been used in orthopedics. Yet, the widespread application of PEEK is limited by its bio-inertness, hydrophobicity, and susceptibility to microbial infections. Further enhancing the osteogenic properties of PEEK-based implants remains a difficult task. This article reviews some modification methods of PEEK in the last five years, including surface modification of PEEK or incorporating materials into the PEEK matrix. For surface modification, PEEK can be modified by chemical treatment, physical treatment, or surface coating with bioactive substances. For PEEK composite material, adding bioactive filler into PEEK through the melting blending method or 3D printing technology can increase the biological activity of PEEK. In addition, some modification methods such as sulfonation treatment of PEEK or grafting antibacterial substances on PEEK can enhance the antibacterial performance of PEEK. These strategies aim to improve the bioactive and antibacterial properties of the modified PEEK. The researchers believe that these modifications could provide valuable guidance on the future design of PEEK orthopedic implants.

Abstract
Orbital bone damage (OBD) may result in severe post-traumatic enophthalmos, craniomaxillofacial deformities, vision loss, and intracranial infections. However, it is still a challenge to fabricate advanced biomaterials that can match the individual anatomical structure and enhance OBD repair in situ. Herein, we aimed to develop a selective surface modification strategy on bioceramic scaffolds and evaluated the effects of inorganic or organic functional coating on angiogenesis and osteogenesis, ectopically and orthotopically in OBD models. It was shown that the low thermal bioactive glass (BG) modification or layer-by-layer assembly of a biomimetic hydrogel (Biogel) could readily integrate into the pore wall of the bioceramic scaffolds. The BG and Biogel modification showed appreciable enhancement in the initial compressive strength (∼30-75%) or structural stability in vivo, respectively. BG modification could enhance by nearly 2-fold the vessel ingrowth, and the osteogenic capacity was also accelerated, accompanied with a mild scaffold biodegradation after 3 months. Meanwhile, the Biogel-modified scaffolds showed enhanced osteogenic differentiation and mineralization through calcium and phosphorus retention. The potential mechanism of the enhanced bone repair was elucidated via vascular and osteogenic cell responses in vitro, and the cell tests indicated that the Biogel and BG functional layers were both beneficial for in vitro osteoblastic differentiation and mineralization on bioceramics. Totally, these findings demonstrated that the bioactive ions or biomolecules could significantly improve the angiogenic and osteogenic capabilities of conventional bioceramics, and the integration of inorganic or organic functional coating in the pore wall is a highly flexible material toolbox that can be tailored directly to improve orbital bone defect repair.

Abstract
Preventing bacterial infections and accelerating wound closure are essential in the process of wound healing. Current wound dressings lack enough mechanical properties, self-healing ability, and tissue adhesiveness, and the bacterial killing also relies on the use of antibiotic drugs. Herein, a well-designed hybrid hydrogel dressing is constructed by simple copolymerization of acrylamide (AM), 3-acrylamido phenylboronic acid (AAPBA), chitosan (CS), and the nanoscale tannic acid (TA)/ferric ion (Fe3+) complex (TFe). The resulting hydrogel possesses lots of free catechol, phenylboronic acid, amine, and hydroxyl groups and contains many reversible and dynamic bonds such as multiple hydrogen bonds and boronate ester bonds, thereby showing satisfactory mechanical properties, fast self-healing ability, and desirable tissue-adhesive performance. Benefiting from the high photothermal conversion efficiency of the TFe, the hydrogel exhibits satisfactory antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Moreover, the embedded TFe also endows the hydrogel with good antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory property, and cell proliferation to promote tissue regeneration. Remarkably, in vivo animal assays reveal that the hybrid hydrogel effectively eliminates biofilm bacteria in the wound sites and accelerates the healing process of infected wounds. Taken together, the developed versatile hydrogels overcome the shortcomings of traditional wound dressings and are expected to become potential antibacterial dressings for future biomedical applications.

Abstract
Hydrogel materials are gradually increasing research in biological aspects due to their unique properties. In order to prepare hydrogels with the potential to be used in clinical wound therapy, the authors prepared a bifunctional hydrogel with antibacterial and self-healing properties. The hydrogel was composed of borax cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), which realizes self-healing between polymers through hydrogen bonds and borate ester bonds. The double cross-linking of hydrogen bonds and borate ester bonds also endows the hydrogel with better mechanical properties (toughness and tensile stress can reach 22.30 MJ/m3 and 70.35 KPa, respectively). On this basis, adding highly stable silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to the hydrogel can effectively inhibit the growth of E. coli and S. aureus. This idea provides the possibility for the application of hydrogels in the process of biological wound healing.

Abstract
In recent years, bone tissue engineering (BTE), as a multidisciplinary field, has shown considerable promise in replacing traditional treatment modalities (i.e., autografts, allografts, and xenografts). Since bone is such a complex and dynamic structure, the construction of bone tissue composite materials has become an attractive strategy to guide bone growth and regeneration. Chitosan and its derivatives have been promising vehicles for BTE owing to their unique physical and chemical properties. With intrinsic physicochemical characteristics and closeness to the extracellular matrix of bones, chitosan-based composite scaffolds have been proved to be a promising candidate for providing successful bone regeneration and defect repair capacity. Advances in chitosan-based scaffolds for BTE have produced efficient and efficacious bio-properties via material structural design and different modifications. Efforts have been put into the modification of chitosan to overcome its limitations, including insolubility in water, faster depolymerization in the body, and blood incompatibility. Herein, we discuss the various modification methods of chitosan that expand its fields of application, which would pave the way for future applied research in biomedical innovation and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
An optimal wound dressing can seal variously shaped wounds and provide a complete barrier to resist bacterial invasion; more importantly, the dressing can be stretched or compressed when the wounds are subjected to external forces and quickly return to its original state after the forces are withdrawn. Here, we designed dressings with light-triggered on-site rapid formation of antibacterial hydrogel for the accelerated healing of infected wounds. The pro-hydrogel, composed of acrylamide (AM) and dopamine-hyaluronic acid-ε-poly-l-lysine (DA-HA-EPL), was filled into the Vibrio vulnificus-infected wound. A 405-nm blue light was exerted on the wound to rapidly photopolymerize AM to its polymer, i.e., polyacrylamide (PAM). A hydrogel network of PAM/DA-HA-EPL immediately formed on site within several seconds to insulate the wound. PAM/DA-HA-EPL possessed adhesion performance to adapt to changes in wound morphologies due to external forces. Moreover, it presented high antibacterial ability due to the presence of EPL, in vitro biocompatibility and the ability to promote cell migration. Vibrio vulnificus-infected wounds were established on full-thickness mouse skin, and the hydrogel dressing exhibited high healing efficiency in terms of skin tissue regeneration, collagen deposition, and angiogenesis. PAM/DA-HA-EPL is a promising hydrogel dressing for the accelerated healing of infected wounds.

Abstract
Grasping the boundary of antibacterial function may be better for the sealing of soft tissue around dental implant abutment. Inspired by ‘overdone is worse than undone’, we prepared a sandwich-structured dental implant coating on the percutaneous part using graphene oxide (GO) wrapped under mineralized collagen. Our unique coating structure ensured the high photothermal conversion capability and good photothermal stability of GO. The prepared coating not only achieved suitable inhibition on colonizing bacteria growth of Streptococcus sanguinis, Fusobacterium nucleatum and Porphyromonas gingivalis but also disrupted the wall/membrane permeability of free bacteria. Further enhancements on the antibacterial property were generally observed through the additional incorporation of dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate. Additionally, the coating with sandwich structure significantly enhanced the adhesion, cytoskeleton organization and proliferation of human gingival fibroblasts, which was effective to improve soft tissue sealing. Furthermore, cell viability was preserved when cells and bacteria were cultivated in the same environment by a coculture assay. This was attributed to the sandwich structure and mineralized collagen as the outmost layer, which would protect tissue cells from photothermal therapy and GO, as well as accelerate the recovery of cell activity.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) develops when bacteria no longer respond to conventional antimicrobial treatment. The limited treatment options for resistant infections result in a significantly increased medical burden. Antimicrobial peptides offer advantages for treatment of resistant infections, including broad-spectrum activity and lower risk of resistance development. However, sensitivity to proteolytic cleavage often limits their clinical application. Here, a moldable and biodegradable colloidal nano-network is presented that protects bioactive peptides from enzymatic degradation and delivers them locally. An antimicrobial peptide, PA-13, is encapsulated electrostatically into positively and negatively charged nanoparticles made of chitosan and dextran sulfate without requiring chemical modification. Mixing and concentration of oppositely charged particles form a nano-network with the rheological properties of a cream or injectable hydrogel. After exposure to proteolytic enzymes, the formed nano-network loaded with PA-13 eliminates Pseudomonas aeruginosa during in vitro culture and in an ex vivo porcine skin model while the unencapsulated PA-13 shows no antibacterial effect. This demonstrates the ability of the nano-network to protect the antimicrobial peptide in an enzyme-challenged environment, such as a wound bed. Overall, the nano-network presents a useful platform for antimicrobial peptide protection and delivery without impacting peptide bioactivity.

Abstract
The escalating emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens and their ability to colonize into biofilms on a multitude of surfaces have struck global health as a nightmare. The stagnation in the development of antibiotics and the deterioration of clinical pipelines have incited an invigorating search for smart and innovative alternatives in the scientific community. Further, a steep rise in the usage of biomedical devices and implants has resulted in an accelerated occurrence of infections. Toward the goal of mitigation of the aforementioned challenges, antimicrobial polymers have stood out as an astounding option. In this perspective, we highlight our contribution to the field of polymeric biomaterials for tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and infections. Polymers inspired from antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been utilized as therapeutic interventions to curb MDR infections and also to rejuvenate obsolete antibiotics. Further, cationic polymers have been used to impart antimicrobial properties to different biomedical surfaces. These cationic polymer-coated surfaces can inactivate pathogens upon contact as well as prevent their biofilm formation. In addition, antimicrobial hydrogels, which are prepared from either inherently antimicrobial polymers or biocide-loaded polymeric hydrogel matrices, have also been engineered. With a brief overview of the progress in the field, detailed elaboration of the polymeric biomaterials for prevention and therapeutic intervention of microbial infections developed by our group is presented. Finally, the challenges in the field of antimicrobial polymers with discussion on the proceedings of polymeric research to alleviate these challenges are discussed.

Abstract
Methotrexate (MTX), the gold standard against psoriasis, poses severe problems when administered systemically viz increased toxicity, poor solubility and adverse reactions. Hence, a topical formulation of MTX for the management of psoriasis can be an effective approach. The present study aimed to develop an MTX based nanoparticle-loaded chitosan hydrogel for evaluating its potential efficacy in an imiquimod-induced psoriatic mice model. MTX-NPs loaded hydrogel was prepared and optimized using the o/w emulsion solvent evaporation method. Particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency, in vitro drug release, ex vivo permeation, skin irritation and deposition studies were performed. Psoriatic Area and Severity Index (PASI) score/histopathological examinations were conducted to check the antipsoriatic potential of MTX-NPs loaded hydrogel using an imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriatic model. Optimized MTX-NPs showed a particle size of 256.4 ± 2.17 nm and encapsulation efficiency of 86 ± 0.03%. MTX-NPs loaded hydrogel displayed a 73 ± 1.21% sustained drug release in 48 h. Ex vivo permeation study showed only 19.95 ± 1.04 µg/cm2 of drug permeated though skin in 24 h, while epidermis retained 81.33% of the drug. A significant decrease in PASI score with improvement to normalcy of mice skin was observed. The developed MTX-NPs hydrogel displayed negligible signs of mild hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis, while histopathological studies showed healing signs of mice skin. So, the MTX-NPs loaded hydrogel can be a promising delivery system against psoriasis.

Abstract
A low-cost wound dressing with efficient sterilization and exhibiting long-term antimicrobial activity is required for the absence of antibiotics, particularly for the wound healing of patients with chronic wounds or long-term activities under low sanitary conditions (e.g., battlefield and poverty-stricken areas). Here, a dual dynamic crosslinking hydrogel was introduced. The hydrogel was supported by gallic acid grafted chitosan and oxidized Bletilla striata polysaccharide as the scaffold and formed by two types of dynamic crosslinking: Schiff base, pyrogallol-Fe3+. It exhibited its adhesion, self-healing, good biocompatibility, great intrinsic antibacterial, and near-infrared photothermal conversion activity. In addition, the use of two types of polysaccharides, and the existence of the photothermal effect, making the hydrogel has the functions of accelerating gelation, degradation on-demand, and rapid sterilization. In brief, such cost-effective multifunctional hydrogel could support wound healing in patients prone to bacterial infection, and it has a promising application in the care of infected wounds.

Abstract
Clinical wound management remains a major challenge due to massive bleeding, bacterial infection, and difficult wound healing after tissue trauma. To simultaneously address these issues, composite polymer sponges for accelerating drug-resistant bacterial infected wound healing are fabricated by facilely mixing sodium polyacrylate (PAAS), double quaternary ammonium salts-conjugated chitosan (QAS-CS), and collagen (COL) in aqueous solution, followed by lyophilization. Composite sponges (PAAS/QAS-CS/COL, PQC) show highly porous microstructures (porosity ≈90%) with moderate compress modulus (≈0.3 MPa), tensile strength (0.004 MPa), and high swelling ratio (≈3500%). Importantly, PQC sponge demonstrates superior hemostasis ability over commercially available CS sponge by inducing rapid hemagglutination, and exhibits significantly better antibacterial activity against both methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Escherichia coli by destroying cell membrane and causing the leakage of bioactive components such as potassium ion and β-galactosidase from treated bacterial. Furthermore, PQC sponge can efficiently promote cell proliferation. Significantly, the sponge greatly expedites the regeneration of MRSA-infected full-thickness skin wound in rabbit by successfully eradicating bacterial infection, and reducing inflammation. PQC sponge also improves both early angiogenesis and blood vessel maturation at the wound site. Overall, this multifunctional sponge is a promising wound dressing for clinical use and holds great potential for rapid clinical translation.

Abstract
Escalating medical expenses due to infectious diseases are causing huge socioeconomic pressure on mankind globally. The emergence of antibiotic resistance has further aggravated this problem. Drug-resistant pathogens are also capable of forming thick biofilms on biotic and abiotic surfaces to thrive in a harsh environment. To address these clinical problems, various strategies including antibacterial agent delivering matrices and bactericidal coatings strategies have been developed. In this review, we have discussed various types of polymeric vehicles such as hydrogels, sponges/cryogels, microgels, nanogels, and meshes, which are commonly used to deliver antibiotics, metal nanoparticles, and biocides. Compositions of these polymeric matrices have been elaborately depicted by elucidating their chemical interactions and potential activity have been discussed. On the other hand, various implant/device-surface coating strategies which exploit the release-active mechanism of bacterial killing are discussed in elaboration. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Cardiovascular Disease Implantable Materials and Surgical Technologies > Nanomaterials and Implants Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Infectious Disease.

Abstract
Dura mater defect and subsequent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage usually appear in trauma or neurosurgical procedures and are followed by a series of serious complications and even death. The use of a qualified dura mater substitute with multifunction of leakage blockade, adhesion prevention, and dura reconstruction is one of the promising treatment methods. However, even though some products have been used in the clinic, none of the substitutes achieved the required multifunction. In this study, we aimed to design and fabricate a dura repair composite with the ideal multifunction. By biomimicking the structure and component of natural dura, we applied poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA), chitosan (CS), gelatin, and acellular small intestinal submucosa (SIS) powders to successfully prepare a triple-layered composite. Then, a series of specific devices and techniques were developed to investigate the performance. The results revealed that satisfactory structural stability could be realized under good synergistic interactions among the components. In addition, all the findings suggested that the bionic triple-layered composite showed satisfactory multifunction of leakage blockade, adhesion prevention, antibacterial property, and dura reconstruction potential, and thus, it might be a promising candidate for dura repair. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Developing qualified dura mater substitutes with multifunction of leakage blockade, adhesion prevention, and dura reconstruction is crucial for treating dura mater defect and subsequent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage that appear in trauma or neurosurgical procedures. In this study, we designed and fabricated a triple-layered dura repair biocomposite with satisfactory structural stability and desired multifunction based on biomimicking of the structure and component of natural dura. Moreover, a series of specific devices and techniques were developed to investigate the relevant performance. Overall, the developed hydrogel electrospinning system exhibited excellent advantages in achieving multifunction and could be applied widely in the future to achieve multifunctional tissue repair materials.

Abstract
Introduction The use of spinal implants for the treatment of back disorders is largely affected by the insurgence of infections at the implantation site. Antibacterial coatings have been proposed as a viable solution to limit such infections. However, despite being effective at short-term, conventional coatings lack the ability to prevent infections at medium and long-term. Hydrogel-based drug delivery systems may represent a solution controlling the release of the loaded antibacterial agents while improving cell integration. Agarose, in particular, is a biocompatible natural polysaccharide known to improve cell growth and already used in drug delivery system formulations. In this study, an agarose hydrogel-based coating has been developed for the controlled release of gentamicin (GS). Methods Sand blasted Ti6Al4V discs were grafted with dopamine (DOPA) solution. After, GS loaded agarose hydrogels have been produced and additioned with tannic acid (TA) and calcium chloride (CaCl2) as crosslinkers. The different GS-loaded hydrogel formulations were deposited on Ti6Al4V-DOPA surfaces, and allowed to react under UV irradiation. Surface topography, wettability and composition have been analyzed with profilometry, static contact angle measurement, XPS and FTIR spectroscopy analyses. GS release was performed under pseudo-physiological conditions up to 28 days and the released GS was quantified using a specific ELISA test. The cytotoxicity of the produced coatings against human cells have been tested, along with their antibacterial activity against S. aureus bacteria. Results A homogeneous coating was obtained with all the hydrogel formulations. Moreover, the coatings presented a hydrophilic behavior and micro-scale surface roughness. The addition of TA in the hydrogel formulations showed an increase in the release time compared to the normal GS-agarose hydrogels. Moreover, the GS released from these gels was able to significantly inhibit S. aureus growth compared to the GS-agarose hydrogels. The addition of CaCl2 to the gel formulation was able to significantly decrease cytotoxicity of the TA-modified hydrogels. Conclusions Due to their surface properties, low cytotoxicity and high antibacterial effects, the hereby proposed gentamicin-loaded agarose-hydrogels provide new insight, and represent a promising approach for the surface modification of spinal implants, greatly impacting their application in the orthopedic surgical scenario.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles(AuNPs) are capable to catalyze the nitric oxide (NO) generation from endogenous and exogenous donors, thereby promoting re-endothelialization and inhibiting intimal hyperplasia and thrombosis. Herein, keratin-dopamine conjugates were synthesized and then immobilized on the surface of the pre-aminolyzed poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) via self-polymerization of dopamine residue, following by the formation of AuNPs in situ without extra reductant. The modified PET sheets(PET-AuNPs) could promote the growth of HUVECs while inhibit the proliferation of HUASMCs due to their catalytic generation of NO from GSNO. In addition, these sheets exhibited antibacterial properties and good blood compatibility without hemolysis. Taken together, this strategy for designing prosthetic vascular grafts to treat cardiovascular diseases has great potential.

Abstract
The addition of particles during the sol-to-gel conversion process generally enhances the mechanical properties of the resulting hydrogels. However, the impact of the addition of porous particles during such a process remains an open question. Herein, we report hydrogel-to-elastomer conversions by natural porous particles called diatom frustule silica, namely, Melosira nummuloides. The surface pores provide mechanical interlocking points for polymers that are reinforced by gelation. The most critical aspect when choosing polymeric materials is the presence of water-resistant adhesion moieties, such as catechol, along a polymer chain, such as chitosan. Without catechol, no sol-to-gel conversion is observed; thus, no elastomeric hydrogel is produced. The resulting hybrid gel reveals reversible compressibility up to a 60% strain and high stretchability even up to ∼400% in area. Further, in vivo study demonstrates that the hybrid composite gel can be used as a therapeutic for pressure-induced ulcers. The synergy of chemical adhesion and physical chain entanglement via pores provides a way to fabricate a new class of 100% water-based elastomeric materials.

Abstract
Carbohydrate-based micro/nanoparticles have gained significant attention for various biomedical applications such as targeted/triggered/controlled drug delivery, bioimaging, biosensing, etc., because of their prominent characteristics like biocompatibility, biodegradability, hydrophilicity, and nontoxicity as well as nonimmunogenicity. Most importantly, the ability of the nanoparticles to recognize specific cell sites by targeting cell surface receptors makes them a promising candidate for designing a targeted drug delivery system. These particles may either comprise polysaccharides/glycopolymers or be integrated with various polymeric/inorganic nanoparticles such as gold, silver, silica, iron, etc., to reduce the toxicity of the inorganic nanoparticles and thus facilitate their cellular insertion. Various synthetic methods have been developed to fabricate carbohydrate-based or carbohydrate-conjugated inorganic/polymeric nanoparticles. In this review, we have highlighted the recently developed synthetic approaches to afford carbohydrate-based particles along with their significance in various biomedical applications.

Carbon dots-releasing hydrogels with antibacterial activity, high biocompatibility, and fluorescence performance as candidate materials for wound healing. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 406:124330. [PMID: 33144016 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.124330] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2020] [Revised: 09/13/2020] [Accepted: 10/17/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Antibacterial hydrogels have received attention for preventing infections and for their biomedical applications. However, traditional antibiotics-containing and metal nanoparticle-containing hydrogels often cause bacterial resistance, exhibit low biocompatibility, and lack real-time monitoring capability. Here, a fluorescent antibacterial hydrogel with antibacterial ability, excellent optical performance, and high biocompatibility was developed based on cationic carbon dots (CDs), pectin, and acrylic acid triggered construction of the hydrogel network by cross-linker. The antibacterial high-cationic CDs (+51.20 mV) were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method and released from hydrogel in response to broken hydrogen bonds due to a change in the ambient environment caused by the growing bacteria. The hydrogel showed long-term potent broad-spectrum antibacterial ability (even drug-resistant bacteria) due to the bacterial membrane seriously damaged by the released CDs. The inhibitory capability of this hydrogel was 108.5-fold higher than the other hydrogel. After implantation or incubation with cells, no obvious cytotoxicity or tissue toxicity was observed for the antibacterial hydrogel. This hydrogel enhanced both the application of CDs in vivo and the biosafety of hydrogel. Furthermore, the multicolor fluorescence emission produced by CD provides a potential idea for the development of dual-function hydrogels with in situ monitoring and prevention of bacterial infections to treat wounds.

Abstract
Avoiding wound infections is a major challenge in wound care management, and new materials are urgently needed to address these problems. Herein, four water-soluble thymine-modified chitosan (TC) derivatives with the degree of substitution (DS) ranging from 0.23 to 0.62 were synthesized and freeze-dried to obtain porous sponge dressings. TC derivatives had broad-spectrum antibacterial activities against gram-negative bacteria, gram-positive bacteria, fungi, drug-resistance bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii. Especially, the antioxidant and antibacterial properties of TC derivatives increased with increasing DS. Furthermore, TC derivatives showed excellent biocompatibility and blood compatibility. TC sponges could significantly accelerate the wound healing process than gauze and chitosan sponge. The histological analysis and immunohistochemical staining showed that the wounds treated with TC sponges displayed fewer inflammatory cells, and faster regeneration of epithelial tissue, collagen deposition and new blood vessel formation speed. Therefore, TC sponges can shed new light for wound dressing design.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) are spontaneously formed by mixing oppositely charged polyelectrolyte solutions without the use of organic solvents and chemical crosslinkers are great candidate carriers for drug delivery. Herein, biodegradable antimicrobial polyelectrolyte complexes of chitosan - dextran phosphate (DPCS) containing cefazolin were developed and characterized in order to assess their suitability for biomedical applications. For this purpose, the simultaneous partial crosslinking and functionalization of dextran with phosphoric acid in a urea melt under reduced pressure were studied. The functional group content and molecular weight of dextran phosphate were varied in order to establish their influence on gel fraction yield, thermal properties and morphologies of the hydrogels. The stoichiometric PECs of DPCS showed good in vitro biocompatibility, pH sensitivity and biodegradability depending on the hydrogel composition. The release of drug from cefazolin-loaded DPCS hydrogels was through non-Fickian diffusion and displayed long sustained-release time. The drug-loaded hydrogels showed antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus. The tunable degradation behavior under physiological conditions in combination with biocompatibility of the pristine DPCS and high antibacterial efficacy drug-loaded hydrogels may render the presented materials interesting for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is one of the most important zoonotic bacterial pathogens, infecting human beings and a wide range of animals, in particular, dairy cattle. Globally. S. aureus causing bovine mastitis is one of the biggest problems and an economic burden facing the dairy industry with a strong negative impact on animal welfare, productivity, and food safety. Furthermore, its smart pathogenesis, including facultative intracellular parasitism, increasingly serious antimicrobial resistance, and biofilm formation, make it challenging to be treated by conventional therapy. Therefore, the development of nanoparticles, especially liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, solid lipid nanoparticles, nanogels, and inorganic nanoparticles, are gaining traction and excellent tools for overcoming the therapeutic difficulty accompanied by S. aureus mastitis. Therefore, in this review, the current progress and challenges of nanoparticles in enhancing the S. aureus mastitis therapy are focused stepwise. Firstly, the S. aureus treatment difficulties by the antimicrobial drugs are analyzed. Secondly, the advantages of nanoparticles in the treatment of S. aureus mastitis, including improving the penetration and accumulation of their payload drugs intracellular, decreasing the antimicrobial resistance, and preventing the biofilm formation, are also summarized. Thirdly, the progression of different types from the nanoparticles for controlling the S. aureus mastitis are provided. Finally, the difficulties that need to be solved, and future prospects of nanoparticles for S. aureus mastitis treatment are highlighted. This review will provide the readers with enough information about the challenges of the nanosystem to help them to design and fabricate more efficient nanoformulations against S. aureus infections.

Abstract
Cranio-maxillofacial structure is a region of particular interest in the field of regenerative medicine due to both its anatomical complexity and the numerous abnormalities affecting this area. However, this anatomical complexity is what makes possible the coexistence of different microbial ecosystems in the oral cavity and the maxillofacial region, contributing to the increased risk of bacterial infections. In this regard, different materials have been used for their application in this field. These materials can be obtained from natural and renewable feedstocks, or by synthetic routes with desired mechanical properties, biocompatibility and antimicrobial activity. Hence, in this review, we have focused on bio-based polymers which, by their own nature, by chemical modifications of their structure, or by their combination with other elements, provide a useful antibacterial activity as well as the suitable conditions for cranio-maxillofacial tissue regeneration. This approach has not been reviewed previously, and we have specifically arranged the content of this article according to the resulting material and its corresponding application; we review guided bone regeneration membranes, bone cements and devices and scaffolds for both soft and hard maxillofacial tissue regeneration, including hybrid scaffolds, dental implants, hydrogels and composites.

Abstract
Infections caused by pathogenic microorganisms have always been the Achilles heel in the clinic. In this work, to overcome this conundrum, we proposed an injectable multifunctional hydrogel material with outstanding antibacterial properties and self-healing properties and no adverse effects on health. The cross-linked hydrogel with three-dimensional (3D) networks was quickly formed via the dynamic Schiff base between amino-modified poly-tetrahydropyrimidine (PTHP-NH2) and multiple vanillin polymer P(DMA-VA) in 30 s. This hydrogel composite presents effective defense against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, especially for the pyogenic Staphylococcus aureus. Moreover, the hydrogel showed almost no hemolysis and cytotoxicity. In vivo investigations indicated that hydrogels effectively killed S. aureus and protected against deterioration of inflammation. Besides, bioimaging of mice demonstrated that the hydrogel could be completely metabolized within 16 h. In a nutshell, given its outstanding antibacterial property and biocompatibility, the novel hydrogel could be an ideal candidate for the subcutaneous infection application.

Abstract
Antibacterial hydrogels are attracting extensive attention in soft tissue repair and regeneration, including bacteria-infected-wound healing. The abuse of antibiotics leads to drug resistance. Recent developments have demonstrated that the delivery of inorganic bactericidal agents in hydrogels can drive the wound healing process; however, this approach is complicated by external light stimuli, cytotoxicity, nondegradability, and sophisticated fabrication. Herein, an inherent antibacterial, bioresorbable hydrogel was developed by the spontaneous self-aggregation of amphiphilic, oxadiazole-group-decorated quaternary ammonium salts (QAS)-conjugated poly(ε-caprolactone)-poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCEC-QAS) micellar nanoantimicrobials for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-infected cutaneous wound healing. The PCEC-QAS hydrogel showed a stable gel state within the temperature range of 5-50 °C and antibacterial efficacy against both Gram-negative and -positive bacteria in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, the PCEC-QAS hydrogel facilitated the cell spreading, proliferation, and migration without cytotoxicity. An in vivo degradation and skin defect healing study suggested the PCEC-QAS hydrogel was totally absorbed without local or systemic toxicity and could promote wound repair in the absence of drugs, cytokines, or cells. Significantly, this hydrogel accelerated the regeneration of a MRSA-infected full-thickness impaired skin wound by successfully reconstructing an intact and thick epidermis similar to normal mouse skin. Collectively, a self-assembling PCEC-QAS antibacterial hydrogel is a promising dressing material to promote skin regeneration and prevent bacterial infection without additional drugs, cells, light irradiation, or delivery systems, providing a simple but effective strategy for treating dermal wounds.

Abstract
Although chitin is of the most available biopolymers on Earth its uses and applications are limited due to its low solubility. The deacetylation of chitin leads to chitosan. This biopolymer, composed of randomly distributed β-(1-4)-linked D-units, has better physicochemical properties due to the facts that it is possible to dissolve this biopolymer under acidic conditions, it can adopt several conformations or structures and it can be functionalized with a wide range of functional groups to modulate its superficial composition to a specific application. Chitosan is considered a highly biocompatible biopolymer due to its biodegradability, bioadhesivity and bioactivity in such a way this biopolymer displays a wide range of applications. Thus, chitosan is a promising biopolymer for numerous applications in the biomedical field (skin, bone, tissue engineering, artificial kidneys, nerves, livers, wound healing). This biopolymer is also employed to trap both organic compounds and dyes or for the selective separation of binary mixtures. In addition, chitosan can also be used as catalyst or can be used as starting molecule to obtain high added value products. Considering these premises, this review is focused on the structure and modification of chitosan as well as its uses and applications.

Abstract
A layer-by-layer (LbL) coating was designed using ionic polysaccharides (chitosan, sodium alginate, sodium hyaluronate) and genipin (crosslinker), to sustain the release of diclofenac sodium salt (DCF) from soft contact lens (SCL) materials. The coating was hydrophilic, biocompatible, non-toxic, reduced bacterial growth and had minor effects on the physical properties of the material, such as wettability, ionic permeability, refractive index and transmittance, which remained within the recommended values for SCLs. The coating was applied on a silicone-based hydrogel and on commercial SofLens and Purevision SCLs. The coating attenuated the initial drug burst and extended the therapeutic period for, at least, two weeks. Relevantly, the problems of sterilizing drug loaded SCLs coated with biopolymers, using classic methods that involve high temperature or radiation, were successfully solved through high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) sterilization.

Abstract
It is of great clinical significance to design wound dressing materials with combined excellent wound healing properties and superior capability to suppress hypertrophic scar formation. This study aimed to examine if and how the cationicity of chitosan would affect the hypertrophic scar-related outcomes, through preparing carboxymethyl chitosan hydrogels with different genipin concentrations (2.5%, 5%, 10% and 15%, respectively). An optimum window of chitosan cationicity (5% in our case) demonstrated potential to mitigate hypertrophic scar in wound healing by suppressing the expression of a-smooth muscle actin (a-SMA) and promoting secretion of type I matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1). In vivo, the CMCS-5% hydrogel again showed smaller, thinner and smoother wound appearance. Moreover, the CMCS-5% sample with additional incorporation of 2% (V/V) Aloe vera gel exhibited further improved performance in scar inhibition. Overall, such findings might have important implications in chitosan-based wound dressing design for high-quality wound repair and effective scar inhibition.

Abstract
Many deadly infections are produced by microorganisms capable of sustained survival in macrophages. This reduces exposure to chemadrotherapy, prevents immune detection, and is akin to criminals hiding in police stations. Therefore, the use of glyco-nanoparticles (GNPs) as carriers of therapeutic agents is a burgeoning field. Such an approach can enhance the penetration of drugs into macrophages with specific carbohydrate targeting molecules on the nanocarrier to interact with macrophage lectins. Carbohydrates are natural biological molecules and the key constituents in a large variety of biological events such as cellular communication, infection, inflammation, enzyme trafficking, cellular migration, cancer metastasis and immune functions. The prominent characteristics of carbohydrates including biodegradability, biocompatibility, hydrophilicity and the highly specific interaction of targeting cell-surface receptors support their potential application to drug delivery systems (DDS). This review presents the 21st century development of carbohydrate-based nanocarriers for drug targeting of therapeutic agents for diseases localized in macrophages. The significance of natural carbohydrate-derived nanoparticles (GNPs) as anti-microbial drug carriers is highlighted in several areas of treatment including tuberculosis, salmonellosis, leishmaniasis, candidiasis, and HIV/AIDS.
