Abstract
The rise of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms has become a critical issue in recent years and has promoted substantial research efforts directed to the development of more effective antimicrobial therapies utilizing different bactericidal mechanisms to neutralize infectious diseases. Modern approaches employ at least two mixed bioactive agents to enhance bactericidal effects. However, the combinations of drugs may not always show a synergistic effect, and further, could also produce adverse effects or stimulate negative outcomes. Therefore, investigations providing insights into the effective utilization of combinations of biocidal agents are of great interest. Sometimes, combination therapy is needed to avoid resistance development in difficult-to-treat infections or biofilm-associated infections treated with common biocides. Thus, this contribution reviews the literature reports discussing the usage of antimicrobial polymers along with nanomaterials or other inhibitors for the development of more potent biocidal therapies.

Simak J, De Paoli S. The effects of nanomaterials on blood coagulation in hemostasis and thrombosis. WILEY INTERDISCIPLINARY REVIEWS-NANOMEDICINE AND NANOBIOTECHNOLOGY 2017; 9.

Abstract
The blood coagulation balance in the organism is achieved by the interaction of the blood platelets (PLTs) with the plasma coagulation system (PCS) and the vascular endothelial cells. In healthy organism, these systems prevent thrombosis and, in events of vascular damage, enable blood clotting to stop bleeding. The dysregulation of hemostasis may cause serious thrombotic and/or hemorrhagic pathologies. Numerous engineered nanomaterials are being investigated for biomedical purposes and are unavoidably exposed to the blood. Also, nanomaterials may access vascular system after occupational, environmental, or other types of exposure. Thus, it is essential to evaluate the effects of engineered nanomaterials on hemostasis. This review focuses on investigations of nanomaterial interactions with the blood components involved in blood coagulation: the PCS and PLTs. Particular emphases include the pathophysiology of effects of nanomaterials on the PCS, including the kallikrein-kinin system, and on PLTs. Methods for investigating these interactions are briefly described, and a review of the most important studies on the interactions of nanomaterials with plasma coagulation and platelets is provided.

Abstract
Estimation of thrombogenic surface properties is an important aspect of hemocompatibility studies. To improve our understanding of interaction between blood and biomaterial surfaces, there is a need to employ standardized methods that are both effective and efficient. This contribution details a systematic approach for the in vitro analysis of plasma modified polymer surfaces and human blood platelet interaction, following the recently introduced ISO 10933-4 guidelines. A holistic multistep process is presented that considers all aspects of testing procedure, including blood collection, platelet function testing, and incubation parameters, right through to a comparison and evaluation of the different methods and analysis available. In terms of detection and analysis, confocal light microscopy is shown to offer many advantages over the widely used scanning electron microscopy technique; this includes simpler, less-invasive sample preparation, and less time-consuming analysis procedure. On the other hand, as an alternative to microscopy techniques, toxicology sulforhodamine B based assay (TOX assay) was also evaluated. It has been shown that the assay could be used for rapid estimation of relative concentration of blood platelets on the surface of plasma treated materials, especially when samples do not allow the implementation of microscopy techniques.

Abstract
Design of biological signal-responsive biomaterials is essential for controlling cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. Herein, we developed a dynamic hydrogel to control cell adhesion with biological signals in a cellular microenvironment. The basic principle was based on using nucleic acid aptamer to recognize cell signalling and control the display of bioligands on the hydrogel. Not only exogenous signalling but also endogenous signalling secreted by surrounding cells could activate the dynamic scaffold and tune the cell adhesion state. Since diverse aptamers have been developed, our design can be extended to multiple biological inputs. The biochemical signal-responsive system will greatly enhance the understanding of complex biological processes as well as the ability to manipulate cellular behaviors.

Abstract
In physiological conditions, the interactions between blood platelets and endothelial cells play a major role in vascular reactivity and hemostasis. By contrast, increased platelet activation contributes to the pathogenesis of vascular pathology such as atherosclerosis, thrombosis, diabetes mellitus, hypertension and carcinogenesis. Nanomedicine, including nanodiagnostics and nanotherapeutics is poised to be used in the management of vascular diseases. However, the inherent risk and potential toxicity resultant from the use of nanosized (<100 nm) materials need to be carefully considered. This review, basing on a systematic search of literature provides state-of-the-art and focuses on new discoveries, as well as the potential benefits and threats in the field of nanodiagnostics, nanopharmacology and nanotoxicology of platelet–vessel wall interactions.

Abstract
Background and Aims Since high-density lipoprotein (HDL) has pro-endothelial and anti-thrombotic effects, a HDL recruiting stent may prevent restenosis. In the present study we address the functional characteristics of an apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) antibody coating in vitro. Subsequently, we tested its biological performance applied on stents in vivo in rabbits. Materials and Methods The impact of anti ApoA-I- versus apoB-antibody coated stainless steel discs were evaluated in vitro for endothelial cell adhesion, thrombin generation and platelet adhesion. In vivo, response to injury in the iliac artery of New Zealand white rabbits was used as read out comparing apoA-I-coated versus bare metal stents. Results ApoA-I antibody coated metal discs showed increased endothelial cell adhesion and proliferation and decreased thrombin generation and platelet adhesion, compared to control discs. In vivo, no difference was observed between ApoA-I and BMS stents in lumen stenosis (23.3±13.8% versus 23.3±11.3%, p=0.77) or intima surface area (0.81±0.62 mm2 vs 0.84±0.55 mm2, p=0.85). Immunohistochemistry also revealed no differences in cell proliferation, fibrin deposition, inflammation and endothelialization. Conclusion ApoA-I antibody coating has potent pro-endothelial and anti-thrombotic effects in vitro, but failed to enhance stent performance in a balloon injury rabbit model in vivo.

Abstract
This study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of thin film hyaluronic acid and dextran surface coatings to blunt cellular activation in a laboratory model of extracorporeal blood circulation. The inner lumen surface of polyurethane (PU) and poly(vinyl) chloride (PVC) tubing was grafted with hyaluronic acid and dextran. Surfaces were characterized for the presence of the grafted layer using ellipsometry, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Persistence of the surface layer was maintained for up to 5 days of continuous exposure to shear flow using a Chandler loop apparatus. The Chandler loop method was used to study human whole blood activation activity. Whole blood aggregometry and flow cytometry measures of CD18, CD62L, CD62P, Annexin V and myeloperoxidase performed on blood samples exposed to the tubing for up to three hours were complemented by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of adherent cells and state of activation. In these studies commercial hospital products and uncoated PVC and PU tubes were used as controls. We found that hyaluranized PU and PVC conferred the greatest resistance to blood activation and that dextranization of the PU and PU tubing also provided significant diminution of the bioresponses measured. Based on our findings, we suggest that surface coating with hyaluronic acid or dextran acts as a potent shield from blood cellular activation during forms of extracorporeal circulation.

Abstract
Enhanced in vitro human and ex vivo rat platelet aggregation from direct exposure to silver nanoparticles is previously reported. Given the increasing human use of engineered silver nanoscale products, platelet aggregation prompted by silver nanoparticles may contribute to human cardiovascular events. To understand how direct washed platelet exposure to silver nanoparticles translates to ex vivo platelet aggregation, the authors conducted a placebo-controlled, single-blind, dose-monitored, cross-over study design in 18 healthy human volunteers. After 2 weeks of daily oral silver nanoparticle ingestion, platelet aggregation was evaluated by light transmission aggregometry in response to collagen and ADP agonists, both at baseline and after silver nanoparticle or placebo diluent oral dosing. Final percent aggregation (PA) and the changes in PA were determined using a paired design (i.e., active and placebo solutions). Enhanced ex vivo platelet activation was not detectable at peak serum silver concentrations <10 µg/L. Further studies of colloidal silver nanoparticles on human platelet activities are warranted.

Abstract
Utilization of metallic nanoparticles in various biotechnological and medical applications represents one of the most extensively investigated areas of the current materials science. These advanced applications require the appropriate chemical functionalization of the nanoparticles with organic molecules or their incorporation in suitable polymer matrices. The intensified interest in polymer nanocomposites with silver nanoparticles is due to the high antimicrobial effect of nanosilver as well as the unique characteristics of polymers which include their excellent structural uniformity, multivalency, high degree of branching, miscellaneous morphologies and architectures, and highly variable chemical composition. In this review, we explore several aspects of antimicrobial polymer silver nanocomposites, giving special focus to the critical analysis of the reported synthetic routes including their advantages, drawbacks, possible improvements, and real applicability in antibacterial and antifungal therapy. A special attention is given to "green" synthetic routes exploiting the biopolymeric matrix and to the methods allowing preparing magnetically controllable antimicrobial polymers for targeting to an active place. The controversial mechanism of the action of silver against bacteria, fungi and yeasts as well as perspectives and new applications of silver polymeric nanocomposites is also briefly discussed.

Abstract
The surface compatibility and antibacterial properties of biomaterials are crucial to tissue engineering and other medical applications, and plasma-assisted technologies have been employed to enhance these characteristics with good success. Herein, we describe and review the recent developments made by our interdisciplinary team on self-antimicrobial biomaterials with emphasis on plasma-based surface modification. Our results indicate that a self-antibacterial surface can be produced on various types of materials including polymers, metals, and ceramics by plasma treatment. Surface characteristics such as roughness, microstructure, chemistry, electronegativity, free energy, hydrophilicity, and interfacial physiochemistry are important factors and can be tailored by using the appropriate plasma-assisted processing parameters. In particular, mechanistic studies reveal that the interfacial physiochemical processes, biocidal agents, and surface free energy are predominantly responsible for the antibacterial effects of plasma-modified biomaterials.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has the potential to revolutionize the management and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Controlled drug delivery and nanoparticle-based molecular imaging agents have advanced cardiovascular disease therapy and diagnosis. However, the delivery vehicles (dendrimers, nanocrystals, nanotubes, nanoparticles, nanoshells, etc.), as well as the model systems that are used to mimic human cardiac disease, should be questioned in relation to their suitability. This review focuses on the variations of the biological assays and preclinical models that are currently being used to study the biocompatibility and suitability of nanomaterials in cardiovascular applications. There is a need to standardize appropriate models and methods that will promote the development of novel nanomaterial-based cardiovascular therapies.
