Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonhealing diabetic wounds are a serious complication associated with extremely lethargic wound closure and a high risk of infection, leading to amputation or limb loss, as well as substantial health care costs and a poor quality of life for the patient. The effects of either eggshell membrane (ESM) and green seaweed (Ulva lactuca) extracts alone or in combination were evaluated for in vivo skin wound healing in a rat model of induced diabetes. METHODS Micronized powders of waste hen ESM, Ulva lactuca, and their 1:1 mixture were prepared using regular procedures. The mechanical, electrical, and surface morphology characteristics of powders were examined using direct compression, LCR-impedancemetry, and scanning electron microscopy. The effect of ESM, Ulva lactuca, and their mixture as compared to standard Dermazin treatments were evaluated on wounds inflicted on male Wistar Albino rats with induced diabetes. Quantitative wound healing rates at baseline and at 3, 7, 14, and 21 days of treatments among all rat groups were conducted using ANOVA. Qualitative histological analysis of epidermal re-epithelization, keratinocytes, basement membrane, infiltrating lymphocytes, collagen fibrines, and blood vessels at day 21 were performed using Image J processing program. RESULTS Compressive strength measurements of tablets showed a Young's modulus of 44.14 and 27.17 MPa for the ESM and ESM + Ulva lactuca mixture, respectively. Moreover, both samples exhibited relatively low relative permittivity values of 6.62 and 6.95 at 1 MHz, respectively, due to the porous surface morphology of ESM shown by scanning electron microscopy. On day 21, rats treated with ESM had a complete diabetic wound closure, hair regrowth, and a healing rate of 99.49%, compared to 96.79% for Dermazin, 87.05% for Ulva lactuca, 90.23% for the mixture, and only 36.44% for the negative controls. A well-formed basement membrane, well-differentiated epithelial cells, and regular thick keratinocytes lining the surface of the epidermal cells accompanied wound healing in rats treated with ESM, which was significantly better than in control rats. CONCLUSION Ground hen ESM powder, a low-cost effective biomaterial, is better than Ulva lactuca or their mixture for preventing tissue damage and promoting diabetic wound healing, in addition to various biomedical applications.

Abstract
Agriculturally derived by-products generated during the growth cycles of living organisms as secondary products have attracted increasing interest due to their wide range of biomedical and environmental applications. These by-products are considered promising candidates because of their unique characteristics including chemical stability, profound biocompatibility and offering a green approach by producing the least impact on the environment. Recently, micro/nanoengineering based techniques play a significant role in upgrading their utility, by controlling their structural integrity and promoting their functions at a micro and nano scale. Specifically, they can be used for biomedical applications such as tissue regeneration, drug delivery, disease diagnosis, as well as environmental applications such as filtration, bioenergy production, and the detection of environmental pollutants. This review highlights the diverse role of micro/nano-engineering techniques when applied on agricultural by-products with intriguing properties and upscaling their wide range of applications across the biomedical and environmental fields. Finally, we outline the future prospects and remarkable potential that these agricultural by-products hold in establishing a new era in the realms of biomedical science and environmental research.

Abstract
Avian eggshells exhibit excellent antimicrobial properties. In this study, we conducted simulation experiments to explore the defense mechanisms of eggshell membranes with regards to their physical features. We developed a mathematical model for the movement of microorganisms and estimated their penetration ratio into eggshell membranes based on several factors, including membrane thickness, microbial size, directional drift, and attachment probability to membrane fibers. These results not only suggest that an eggshell membrane with multiple layers and low porosity indicates high antimicrobial performance, but also imply that the fibrous network structure of the membrane might contribute to effective defense. Our simulation results aligned with experimental findings, specifically in measuring the penetration time of Escherichia coli through the eggshell membrane. We briefly discuss the significance and limitations of this pilot study, as well as the potential for these results, to serve as a foundation for the development of antimicrobial materials.

Abstract
Streptomyces are one of the most prolific sources of bioactive and structurally diverse secondary metabolites for natural product drug discovery. Genome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis revealed that the genomes of Streptomyces harbor a wealth of cryptic secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters that could encode novel compounds. In this work, a genome mining approach was employed to investigate the biosynthetic potential of Streptomyces sp. HP-A2021, isolated from rhizosphere soil of Ginkgo biloba L. The complete genome of HP-A2021 was sequenced and contained the 9,607,552 base pair linear chromosome with a GC content of 71.07%. The annotation results revealed the presence of 8534 CDSs, 76 tRNA genes, and 18 rRNA genes in HP-A2021. The highest dDDH and ANI values based on genome sequences between HP-A2021 and the most closely related type strain, Streptomyces coeruleorubidus JCM 4359, were 64.2% and 92.41%, respectively. In total, 33 secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters with an average length of 105,594 bp were identified, including the putative thiotetroamide, alkylresorcinol, coelichelin, and geosmin. The antibacterial activity assay confirmed that the crude extracts of HP-A2021 showed potent antimicrobial activity against human pathogenic bacteria. Our study demonstrated that Streptomyces sp. HP-A2021 will propose a potential use in biotechnological and novel bioactive secondary metabolite biosynthetic applications.

A Sustainable, Green-Processed, Ag-Nanoparticle-Incorporated Eggshell-Derived Biomaterial for Wound-Healing Applications. J Funct Biomater 2023; 14:450. [PMID: 37754864 PMCID: PMC10531947 DOI: 10.3390/jfb14090450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2023] [Revised: 08/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023] Open
Abstract
The eggshell membrane (ESM) is a natural biomaterial with unique physical and mechanical properties that make it a promising candidate for wound-healing applications. However, the ESM's inherent properties can be enhanced through incorporation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), which have been shown to have antimicrobial properties. In this study, commercially produced AgNPs and green-processed AgNPs were incorporated into ESM and evaluated for their physical, biological, and antimicrobial properties for potential dermal application. The ESM was extracted using various techniques, and then treated with either commercially produced AgNPs (Sigma-Aldrich, Poole, UK) or green-synthesized AgNPs (Metalchemy, London, UK) to produce AgNPs-ESM samples. The physical characteristics of the samples were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and the biological properties were assessed through in vitro studies using human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) and BJ cells. The SEM analysis of the AgNPs-ESM samples showed localization of AgNPs on the ESM surface, and that the ESM maintained its structural integrity following AgNP incorporation. The FTIR confirmed loading of AgNPs to ESM samples. The biological studies showed that the 5 μg/mL AgNPs-ESM samples were highly biocompatible with both HDFs and BJ cells, and had good viability and proliferation rates. Additionally, the AgNPs-ESM samples demonstrated pro-angiogenic properties in the CAM assay, indicating their potential for promoting new blood vessel growth. Assessment of the antimicrobial activity of the enhanced AgNPs/ESMs was validated using the International Standard ISO 16869:2008 methodology and exploited Cladosporium, which is one of the most commonly identified fungi in wounds, as the test microorganism (≥5 × 106 cells/mL). The AgNPs-ESM samples displayed promising antimicrobial efficacy as evidenced by the measured zone of inhibition. Notably, the green-synthesized AgNPs demonstrated greater zones of inhibition (~17 times larger) compared to commercially available AgNPs (Sigma-Aldrich). Although both types of AgNP exhibited long-term stability, the Metalchemy-modified samples demonstrated a slightly stronger inhibitory effect. Overall, the AgNPs-ESM samples developed in this study exhibited desirable physical, biological, and antimicrobial properties for potential dermal wound-dressing applications. The use of green-processed AgNPs in the fabrication of the AgNPs-ESM samples highlights the potential for sustainable and environmentally friendly wound-healing therapies. Further research is required to assess the long-term biocompatibility and effectiveness of these biomaterials in vivo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The main activity of the skin is to create a protective barrier against damage. Loss of the skin due to injury or disease and failure to regenerate the affected area may result in disability, infection, or even death. We conducted a clinical trial to evaluate the therapeutic effect of dressing containing silver in process of healing skin blisters caused by limb fractures. METHOD This is a pioneering randomized trial that compares the effectiveness of two dressings containing silver (Ag coat) and Gaz Vaseline among patients with skin blisters due to bone fractures who were randomly selected from patients referred to the Kashani Medical Training Center. There were two treatment groups containing 16 patients treated with Ag coat and 15 patients treated with Gaz Vaseline. Pictures were taken of blisters on days 0, 7, and 14 to evaluate the healing process. The amount of pain, duration of the visit (measured by minutes), and general condition of the wound were checked. The amount of pain, duration of visit (measured by minutes) and general condition of the wound was checked. All continuous and categorical data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD) and frequency (percentage), respectively. Paired sample T-test and repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA), Chi-squared test was used. All pictures were analyzed by Mosaic soft ward. RESULT During this study, there was no significant difference between the mean of age and BMI and frequency of gender in the two study groups (P > 0.05). There was a significant difference in mean between the duration of the visit, number of dressings, and net cost of dressing [Formula: see text]. In the macroscopic study and analysis for evaluation and comparing wound area with the Mosaic soft ward, there was significant relation in time (p1 = 0.00). There is no significant difference between the groups (p2 = 0.84). There was a significant difference between time and group (p3 = 0.00). On day 14 the wound area between groups had a significant difference (p4 = 0.00) (Table 3). In the VAS score there was a significant difference in time, and group (p1,2 = 0.00), there was no significant relation between time and group (p3 = 0.62). On all days the wound area between groups had a significant difference (p4 = 0.00). CONCLUSION In conclusion, Ag coat dressing, not only has a significant effect on wound healing but also, decreases pain, shorter visit time, and its more cost-effective.

Abstract
As the global number of chronic wound patients rises, the financial burden and social pressure on patients increase daily. Stem cells have emerged as promising tissue engineering seed cells due to their enriched sources, multidirectional differentiation ability, and high proliferation rate. However, delivering them in vitro for the treatment of skin injury is still challenging. In addition, bacteria from the wound site and the environment can significantly impact wound healing. In the last decade, 3D bioprinting has dramatically enriched cell delivery systems. The produced scaffolds by this technique can be precisely localized within cells and perform antibacterial actions. In this review, we summarized the 3D bioprinting-based external delivery of stem cells and their antibiosis to improve wound healing.

[PMID: 36235942 PMCID: PMC9571512 DOI: 10.3390/polym14193994] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2022] [Revised: 09/17/2022] [Accepted: 09/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Infections are the primary cause of death from burns and diabetic wounds. The clinical difficulty of treating wound infections with conventional antibiotics has progressively increased and reached a critical level, necessitating a paradigm change for enhanced chronic wound care. The most prevalent bacterium linked with these infections is Staphylococcus aureus, and the advent of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus has posed a substantial therapeutic challenge. Most existing wound dressings are ineffective and suffer from constraints such as insufficient antibacterial activity, toxicity, failure to supply enough moisture to the wound, and poor mechanical performance. Using ineffective wound dressings might prolong the healing process of a wound. To meet this requirement, nanoscale scaffolds with their desirable qualities, which include the potential to distribute bioactive agents, a large surface area, enhanced mechanical capabilities, the ability to imitate the extracellular matrix (ECM), and high porosity, have attracted considerable interest. The incorporation of nanoparticles into nanofiber scaffolds constitutes a novel approach to “nanoparticle dressing” that has acquired significant popularity for wound healing. Due to their remarkable antibacterial capabilities, silver nanoparticles are attractive materials for wound healing. This review focuses on the therapeutic applications of nanofiber wound dressings containing Ag-NPs and their potential to revolutionize wound healing.

Abstract
Chicken eggshell membrane (ESM) is a highly insoluble structure that is greatly stabilized by extensive desmosine, isodesmosine, and disulfide cross-linkages. The ESM possesses numerous biological functions including anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, anti-wrinkle, and antioxidant activities. The ESM is mainly proteinaceous; proteomics and bioinformatics analysis of ESM has identified > 500 proteins, such as collagens, glycoproteins, avian beta-defensins, and lysozyme. ESM also contains significant amounts of carbohydrate, including hyaluronic acid (HA). In general, HA plays an important role in tissue hydration and cellular mechanisms such as growth, differentiation, and transport, and has diverse health and medical applications. Despite ESM being rich in important bioactive compounds, it is often considered as a waste product of the egg-breaking industry and is under-utilized. A major challenge for the successful commercial exploitation of ESM and bioactive constituents is its limited solubility and bioavailability due to cross-linkages of ESM fibers. Various processing and extraction methods are employed to overcome these limitations and improve the production of HA and collagen-based ESM formats. Moreover, we believe that there is a wide scope to exploit ESM for novel applications, leading to new intellectual property (IP) and patenting opportunities. This review presents an overview of scientific background, IP landscape and current commercial market for ESM and derived bioactives including collagens and HA. A detailed literature survey is provided for each area of interest. We analyze regulatory guidelines for ESM, contrasting quality control / microbial safety assessment in cosmetics and personal care products (hazard based) with that of the food industry (risk-based). New perspectives for upcycling of ESM waste to commercially viable high-value biomaterials as nutraceutical supplements and as cosmetics ingredients are discussed. This overview of ESM separation techniques and applications could form the basis for directed research and product development in order to exploit the unique bioactivities of ESM.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this technologic analysis was to review use of ionic silver as a component of topical wound therapy products. APPROACH Published literature from a variety of fields related to ionic silver and its use in topical wound therapy products was reviewed and a summary of common commercially available wound care products containing ionic silver was generated, along with general recommendations for use. Safety information from both manufacturer guidelines and the Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) database is summarized. CONCLUSIONS Various formulations of ionic silver products are used for topical treatment of wounds. Antimicrobial activity varies according to the specific silver formulation and type of microorganisms in the wound bed. In vitro evidence suggests that some bacterial strains may be developing resistance to ionic silver. Improved knowledge of the benefits and safety precautions associated with topical silver preparations can guide its application to topical therapy for wound healing.

Abstract
The combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemodynamic therapy (CDT) has been continuously explored in the antibacterial aspect and has achieved more effective antibacterial effect than a single therapy. We design a pH-responsive O2 and H2O2 self-supplying zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) nanosystem for PDT/CDT of wound infection. Under the acidic inflammatory conditions, ZIF-67 can degrade to produce Co2+ and release CaO2 and graphene quantum dots (GQDs). The exposed CaO2 reacted with water to generate H2O2 and O2. The self-supplied O2 alleviates hypoxia at the site of inflammation and enhances external light-initiated GQD-mediated PDT, while H2O2 was catalyzed by endogenous Co2+ to produce hydroxyl radicals for Co2+-triggered CDT. In vitro and in vivo experiments confirm that CaO2/GQDs@ZIF-67 has a combined PDT/CDT effect. The antibacterial mechanism indicates that bacteria post-treated with CaO2/GQDs@ZIF-67 may be sterilized by reactive oxygen species-mediated oxidative stress and the leakage of bacterial contents. The experiments also find that CaO2/GQDs@ZIF-67 may activate the immune response and enhance the therapeutic effect by activating the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes signaling pathway.

Abstract
Most components in avian eggs, offering a natural and environmentally friendly source of raw materials, hold great potential in tissue engineering. An avian egg consists of several beneficial elements: the protective eggshell, the eggshell membrane, the egg white (albumen), and the egg yolk (vitellus). The eggshell is mostly composed of calcium carbonate and has intrinsic biological properties that stimulate bone repair. It is a suitable precursor for the synthesis of hydroxyapatite and calcium phosphate, which are particularly relevant for bone tissue engineering. The eggshell membrane is a thin protein-based layer with a fibrous structure and is constituted of several valuable biopolymers, such as collagen and hyaluronic acid, that are also found in the human extracellular matrix. As a result, the eggshell membrane has found several applications in skin tissue repair and regeneration. The egg white is a protein-rich material that is under investigation for the design of functional protein-based hydrogel scaffolds. The egg yolk, mostly composed of lipids but also diverse essential nutrients (e.g., proteins, minerals, vitamins), has potential applications in wound healing and bone tissue engineering. This review summarizes the advantages and status of each egg component in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, but also covers their current limitations and future perspectives.

Abstract
In this paper, alginate/pectin and alginate/pectin/chitosan blend particles, in the form of an in situ forming hydrogel, intended for wound repair applications, have been successfully developed. Particles have been used to encapsulate doxycycline in order to control the delivery of the drug, enhance its antimicrobial properties, and the ability to inhibit host matrix metalloproteinases. The presence of chitosan in the particles strongly influenced their size, morphology, and fluid uptake properties, as well as drug encapsulation efficiency and release, due to both chemical interactions between the polymers in the blend and interactions with the drug demonstrated by FTIR studies. In vitro antimicrobial studies highlighted an increase in antibacterial activity related to the chitosan amount in the powders. Moreover, in situ gelling powders are able to induce a higher release of IL-8 from the human keratinocytes that could stimulate the wound healing process in difficult-healing. Interestingly, doxycycline-loaded particles are able to increase drug activity against MMPs, with good activity against MMP-9 even at 0.5 μg/mL over 72 h. Such results suggest that such powders rich in chitosan could be a promising dressing for exudating wounds.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA) has been gradually applied in wound healing of various types in the last three years. Due to its rich phenol groups and unique structure, it can be combined with a variety of materials to form wound dressings that can be used for chronic infection, tissue repair in vivo and serious wound healing. PDA complex has excellent mechanical properties and self-healing properties, and it is a stable material that can be used for a long period of time. Unlike other dressings, PDA complexes can achieve both photothermal therapy and electro activity. In this paper, wound healing is divided into four stages: antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, cell adhesion and proliferation, and re-epithelialization. Photothermal therapy can improve the bacteriostatic rate and remove reactive oxygen species to inhibit inflammation. Electrical signals can stimulate cell proliferation and directional migration. With low reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, inflammatory factors are down-regulated and growth factors are up-regulated, forming regular collagen fibers and accelerating wound healing. Finally, five potential development directions are proposed, including increasing drug loading capacity, optimization of drug delivery platforms, improvement of photothermal conversion efficiency, intelligent electroactive materials and combined 3D printing.

Beneficial effect on rapid skin wound healing through carboxylic acid-treated chicken eggshell membrane. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2021; 128:112350.

Abstract
At the initial stage of wound healing, growth factors stimulate tissue regeneration by interacting with the extracellular matrix (ECM), leading to rapid wound repair and structural support. Chicken eggshell membrane (ESM) is a low-cost and highly functional ECM biomaterial for tissue regeneration. However, natural ESM has limitations for tissue engineering purposes because it is difficult to control the size, shape, and biocompatibility of the surfaces. To overcome this, blends of synthetic materials and natural ESMs, such as soluble eggshell membrane protein, are combined for biomaterial applications. Unfortunately, it is difficult to pattern fibrous structure. Here, we modified the natural chicken ESM through weak acid treatment to promote wound healing and skin regeneration without loss of fibrous structure. Treatment of citric acid and acetic acid reacted the amine or amide group with carboxyl groups (R-COOH) and achieved hydrophilicity for adherence of proliferating regenerative cells. Our in vitro study revealed that the modified ESM scaffolds significantly promoted human dermal fibroblasts adhesion, viability, proliferation, and cytokine secretion, compared with natural ESM. In addition, the modified ESM accelerated skin regeneration and enhanced the wound healing process even at early stages in an in vivo rat wound model. Collectively, the modified ESM performed best for promoting skin regeneration, cytokine secretion, epidermal cell proliferation, and controlling the inflammatory response both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Due to low success rates of antibiotic therapy in most osteomyelitis diseases, continuous efforts have been made to fabricate local delivery systems with high antimicrobial effects. Here, we reported a kind of ε-polylysine(PL)/Ag-loaded porous tricalcium phosphate (TCP) bead instead of antibiotics as local delivery systems for the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus-caused osteomyelitis. Such local delivery systems were prepared by the fabrication of porous TCP beads at first and then the loading of Ag and PL in turn into porous TCP beads via in situ Ag-doping and layer-by-layer methods. In vitro experiments demonstrated that the release of PL and Ag was controllable. Especially, the release dosage of Ag could be controlled to be less than 0.05 ppm 28 days later. The surface coating of PL improved the cytocompatibility and antibacterial activity of local delivery systems. In vivo experiments demonstrated that the Ag/PL-loaded porous TCP beads displayed strong antibacterial activity and good osteoconductivity, and the combination of Ag and PL was better than the use of single antibacterial materials to treat S. aureus-caused osteomyelitis. The implantation of Ag into the infected marrow had low toxicity because Ag has been integrated into the TCP grains, which could be absorbed in marrow. Therefore, the Ag/PL-loaded porous TCP beads presented potential for treating osteomyelitis, especially sequestrum-debrided osteomyelitis.

Abstract
Egg consumption is very high throughout the world and with it comes enormous amount of waste eggshells. To reduce and utilize these wastes, eggshell wastes were simply transformed to low- or high-purity calcium carbonate grades by washing, crushing, and drying to use as raw materials for producing highly valuable calcium phosphate products. Low-purity calcium carbonate grade was used to prepare triple superphosphate for using in fertilizer industry, whereas high-purity calcium carbonate grade was used to produce dicalcium phosphate dihydrate, monocalcium phosphate monohydrate, and tricalcium phosphate for using in mineral feed and food additive industries. All calcium phosphate samples obtained by simple, rapid, cheap, and environmentally safe method using eggshells and phosphoric acid were identified and their structural phases and impurities were determined by XRF, XRD and FTIR techniques. Thermal behaviors of raw materials and the prepared calcium phosphates excepted tricalcium phosphate were investigated by TG/DTG techniques. The methodologies described here will be useful to manage eggshells by converting them to highly valuable products, which can solve eggshell wastes problem from industries and communities. This finding supports the viewpoint of zero waste operation to produce value-added products for obtaining sustainable development, which may be selected as an alternative way for material recycling and waste management in the future.

Abstract
Biofouling due to biofilm formation is a major problem in ultrafiltration membrane applications. In this work, a potential approach to solve this issue has been developed by functionalization of chitosan-based membranes with benzalkonium chloride (BKC). The chitosan composite membranes consisting of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), and BKC were synthesized by mixing the membrane precursors and the antibacterial solution, and casting via an inversed phase technique. The effects of the BKC content on the morphology and performance of the membranes are investigated by varying the BKC feed compositions. The composite membranes demonstrate better antibacterial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus than Escherichia coli. The permeability and selectivity performances of the composites as filter membranes are examined by employing a dead-end filtration system. Interestingly, enhanced toughness of the membranes is observed as a function of the BKC content. Mechanisms of the structural formation are investigated. The results from SEM, XRD, and FTIR spectroscopy revealed that MWCNT/BKC are located as nanoclusters with π–π stacking interactions, and are covered by PEG chains. The shape of the dispersed domains is spherical at low BKC contents, but becomes elongated at high BKC contents. These act as soft domains with an anisotropic shape with toughening of the brittle chitosan matrix, leading to enhanced durability of the membranes, especially in ultrafiltration applications. The composite membranes also demonstrate improved rejection in dead-end ultrafiltration systems due to high porosity, high hydrophilicity, and the positive charges of the membrane surface. Chitosan/PEG/MWCNT/BKC membranes exhibit enhanced antibiofouling properties against S. aureus and E. coli. MWCNT/BKC are located as dispersed nano-clusters with π–π stacking interactions in the chitosan matrix, and are coved by PEG chains.![]()

Abstract
Biopolymers provide versatile platforms for designing naturally-derived wound care dressings through eco-friendly pathways. Eggshell membrane (ESM), a widely available, biocompatible biopolymer based structure features a unique 3D porous interwoven fibrous protein network. The ESM was functionalized with inorganic compounds (Ag, ZnO, CuO used either separately or combined) using a straightforward deposition technique namely radio frequency magnetron sputtering. The functionalized ESMs were characterized from morphological, structural, compositional, surface chemistry, optical, cytotoxicity and antibacterial point of view. It was emphasized that functionalization with a combination of metal oxides and exposure to visible light results in a highly efficient antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli when compared to the activity of individual metal oxide components. It is assumed that this is possible due to the fact that an axial p-n junction is created by joining the two metal oxides. This structure separates into components the charge carrier pairs promoted by visible light irradiation that further can influence the generation of reactive oxygen species which ultimately are responsible for the bactericide effect. This study proves that, by employing inexpensive and environmentally friendly materials (ESM and metal oxides) and fabrication techniques (radio frequency magnetron sputtering), affordable antibacterial materials can be developed for potential applications in chronic wound healing device area.

Abstract
Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is a biomaterial, which commonly used for repair of tissue defects; however, infection is the main factor underlying the failure of treatments involving ADM. To enhance the anti-infection ability of ADM, we constructed a new form of ADM that was decorated with nano-silver ('NS-ADM'). The introduction of nano-silver did not destroy the decellularized structure of ADM, and no significant difference was detected with regards to the maximum tensile force when compared between NS-ADM and ADM (P = 0.351). NS-ADM was not cytotoxic to cell growth when the concentration of nano-silver solution ≤ 25 ppm and exhibited strong antibacterial activity in vitro. Besides, when rats were inoculated with 104 CFU/mL, there were significantly lower bacterial counts in the NS-ADM group than in the ADM group when assessed seven days after surgery (P = 0.047); no significant differences were detected on days 14 and 28. Although there were no significant differences in bacterial counts on days 7, 14, or 21 between the two groups (rats were inoculated with 106 CFU/mL), the number of rats showing reduced bacterial counts or clearing was higher in the NS-ADM group than in the ADM group. Rats that were inoculated with 108 CFU/mL showed repair failure. Overall, NS-ADM is a promising antibacterial biomaterial for repairing contaminated soft-tissue defects, in which antibacterial properties are superior to ADM. The antibacterial activity of NS-ADM was limited for severe infections, and further in vivo studies are needed to evaluate its efficacy and biosafety.

Abstract
Panax notoginseng (Araliaceae) is an important ginseng herb with various health benefits and a history of cultivation in southwestern China over 400 years. In recent years P. notoginseng has faced serious continuous-cropping obstacles due to its large-scale cultivation. In this study, we aim to explore the allelochemicals of P. notoginseng and their interactions with various plants and rhizosphere microorganisms. The chemical constituents of the soil cultivated with 3-year-old P. notoginseng were studied by column chromatography, spectroscopic and GC-MS analyses. We identified 13 volatile components and isolated six triterpenes (1-4, 6-7) and one anthraquinone (5). Compounds 1-7 were tested for their effects on seed germination and root elongation in P. notoginseng, corn, wheat, turnip, water spinach and Arabidopsis thaliana. We also examined the effect of compounds 1-7 on the growth of ten rhizosphere microorganisms of P. notoginseng. At a concentration of 1.0 μg mL-1, compounds 3 and 5-7 caused the death of P. notoginseng root cells and compounds 2, 6 and 7 induced the death of root cells of A. thaliana. Compounds 1-5 and 7 inhibited elongation of A. thaliana root tip cells at a concentration of 10.0 μg mL-1. Moreover, at a concentration of 0.1 mg mL-1, compounds 3, 4, 6 and 7 inhibited the growth of probiotics and promoted the growth of pathogens of P. notoginseng. These results suggest that these isolated ursane-type triterpenoid acids and anthraquinone are potential allelochemicals that contribute to continuous-cropping obstacles of P. notoginseng.

Abstract
There are numerous issues associated with bacteria, particularly biofilms, which exhibit a strong resistance to antibiotics. This is currently considered an urgent global issue owing to the lack of effective treatments. Graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets are two-dimensional carbon materials that are available as a substrate for metal nanoparticles and have a lower release rate of metal ions than free metal nanoparticles by regulating the oxidation of metal nanoparticles, which is known to reduce the cytotoxicity caused by the free metal nanoparticles. Over centuries, metal particles, including Ag and Cu, have been considered as antibacterial agents. In this study, Ag and Cu bimetallic nanoparticles on a GO surface (Ag/Cu/GO) were synthesized using a chemical reduction method, and their antimicrobial effects against several bacterial species were demonstrated. Ag/Cu/GO nanocomposites were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The in vitro cytotoxicity of an Ag/Cu/GO nanocomposite was evaluated in human dermal fibroblasts, and its antibacterial activity against Methylobacterium spp., Sphingomonas spp., and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) was also tested. The synthesized Ag/Cu/GO nanocomposite was able to eradicate all three bacterial species at a concentration that was harmless to human cells. In addition, Ag/Cu/GO successfully removed a biofilm originated from the culturing of P. aeruginosa in a microchannel with a dynamic flow. In a small-animal model, a biofilm-infected skin wound was healed quickly and efficiently by the topical application of Ag/Cu/GO. The Ag/Cu/GO nanocomposites reported in this study could be used to effectively remove antibiotic-resistant bacteria and treat diseases in the skin or wound due to bacterial infections and biofilm formation.

Abstract
Electrospinning-based wound dressings with multifunctional properties, including hemostasis-promoting, antibacterial, drug release, and therapeutic effects, are of great interest in military and civilian trauma healthcare. Herein, we designed lidocaine hydrochloride (LID) and mupirocin-loaded chitosan/polycaprolactone (CSLD-PCLM) scaffolds with multiple functions as wound dressings. Through the dual spinneret electrospinning technique, the scaffolds achieved a nanofiber structure, which enhanced the interfacial interaction between the scaffold and blood cells and showed excellent blood coagulation capacity. In particular, the scaffolds loaded with LID and mupirocin exhibited rapid release of LID and sustained release of mupirocin. The CSLD-PCLM scaffold containing mupirocin exhibited outstanding antibacterial activity. Moreover, the scaffold significantly enhanced the wound healing process with complete re-epithelialization as well as collagen deposition in a full-thickness skin defect model. Thus, CSLD-PCLM nanofibrous scaffolds may ideally meet the various requirements of the wound healing process and are promising candidates for wound dressings in future clinical applications.

Abstract
This study aims to remove organic cationic dye Basic Fuchsin (BF) by adsorption onto a low cost eggshell membrane (ESM) in batch mode at 293 K. XRD analysis confirms the amorphous nature of ESM meanwhile FTIR spectroscopy reveals the presence of several functional groups such as hydroxyl (-OH), sulfhydryl (-SH), carboxyl (-COOH), and amino (-NH2). Morphological observations by SEM indicate its fibrous microstructure. BET analysis shows a surface area of 11.56 m2 g-1 and the presence of mesopores with a volume of 6.173 10-3 cm3 g-1. The value of pHPZC of ESM is 7.05. The influence of adsorbent dose, contact time, pH, temperature and dye concentration is examined. The highest adsorption capacity around 48 mg.g-1is achieved for a dye concentration 250 ppm, pH 6 and 25 °C. In addition, adsorption has been found to follow pseudo-second order kinetics. The analysis of the experimental data using linear forms based on Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models indicate that the best fit is obtained with Freundlich model. Thermodynamic parameters (Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, and entropy) reveal that the adsorption of BF onto ESM is an exothermic and spontaneous process. A comprehensive mechanism for BF adsorption by ESM has been proposed.

Abstract
Silver is a potent antimicrobial agent against a variety of microorganisms and once the element has entered the bacterial cell, it accumulates as silver nanoparticles with large surface area causing cell death. At the same time, the bacterial cell becomes a reservoir for silver. This study aims to test the microcidal effect of silver-killed E. coli O104: H4 and its supernatant against fresh viable cells of the same bacterium and some other species, including E. coli O157: H7, Multidrug Resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Silver-killed bacteria were examined by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Agar well diffusion assay was used to test the antimicrobial efficacy and durability of both pellet suspension and supernatant of silver-killed E. coli O104:H4 against other bacteria. Both silver-killed bacteria and supernatant showed prolonged antimicrobial activity against the tested strains that extended to 40 days. The presence of adsorbed silver nanoparticles on the bacterial cell and inside the cells was verified by TEM. Silver-killed bacteria serve as an efficient sustained release reservoir for exporting the lethal silver cations. This promotes its use as a powerful disinfectant for polluted water and as an effective antibacterial which can be included in wound and burn dressings to overcome the problem of wound contamination.

Abstract
Burn wounds are highly debilitating injuries, with significant morbidity and mortality rates worldwide. In association with the damage of the skin integrity, the risk of infection is increased, posing an obstacle to healing and potentially leading to sepsis. Another limitation against healing is associated with antibiotic resistance mainly due to the use of systemic antibiotics for the treatment of localized infections. Nanotechnology has been successful in finding strategies to incorporate antibiotics in nanoparticles for the treatment of local wounds, thereby avoiding the systemic exposure to the drug. This review focuses on the most recent advances on the use of nanoparticles in wound dressing formulations and in tissue engineering for the treatment of burn wound infections.

Abstract
A novel strategy is needed for treating nonhealing wounds, which is able to simultaneously eradicate pathogenic bacteria and promote tissue regeneration. This would improve patient outcome and reduce the number of lower limb amputations. In this work, we present a multifunctional therapeutic approach able to control bacterial infections, provide a protective barrier to a full-thickness wound, and improve wound healing in a clinically relevant animal model. Our approach uses a nanoengineered antimicrobial nanoparticle for creating a sprayable layer onto the wound bed that prevents bacterial proliferation and also eradicates preformed biofilms. As a protective barrier for the wound, we developed a thermoresponsive collagen-based matrix that has prohealing properties and is able to fill wounds independent of their geometries. Our results indicate that using a combination of the matrix with full-thickness microscopic skin tissue columns synergistically contributed to faster and superior skin regeneration in a nonhealing wound model in diabetic mice.

Abstract
Due to insufficient biomedical functions of hydrogels for wound management, the exploitation of available methods to expand the biomedical functions of hydrogels always becomes the cutting-edge research. Here, we report on the use of the silver-ethylene interaction and 3D printing technique to develop the antibacterial superporous polyacrylamide (PAM)/hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) hydrogel dressings. Experiments demonstrated that the silver-ethylene interaction played significant roles in mediating the formation, dispersion, and cross-linking of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in the hydrogel matrix as well as the cross-linking of the PAM networks. At the same time, such organometallic complexes also controlled the release of AgNPs to balance the cytocompatibility and antibacterial activity of the AgNP-cross-linked hydrogels. On the other hand, the use of 3D printed templates and HPMC as the pore-making materials demonstrated could tailor hydrogels into 91.4% porosity and the formed pores into open channels, endowing hydrogels with rapid water uptake rate and 14 times dead-weight of uptake capacity. Furthermore, experiments showed that the regular large pores arisen from 3D printed templates could buffer the swelling of superporous hydrogel dressings, thus decreasing the detachment risk of dressings from wounds. In vivo experiments demonstrated that the AgNP-cross-linked superporous hydrogel dressings could promote the healing of the infected wounds and restrain scar tissue formation.

Abstract
To develop a promising antibacterial agent for wound-care dressing, a series of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and eggshell membrane (ESM) composites (AgNPs/ESM) were prepared. AgNPs were prepared using a chemical reduction method and their characteristics were determined. Various pH and processing time combinations were tested to find the optimal conditions for preparing AgNPs/ESM composites. To obtain the optimal nontoxic-level silver release, the AgNPs stock solution was diluted to 2 times, 4 times, 6 times, 8 times and 10 times with water and the concentration of silver released by the composites was also tested. All the prepared composites showed antibacterial activity, but the activity was the strongest when the stock AgNPs solution was diluted to four times (a concentration of silver was 2.41 mg/L). The addition of AgNPs changed the ESM from hydrophobic to hydrophilic by lowering the water contact angles from 105° to 75°, which is important for the wound-healing process. And the AgNPs/ESM composites had a higher surface area (159.08 m2/g) than the natural ESM (24.32 m2/g) and a suitable pore size (10.92 nm) as well, endowing with better absorption and antibacterial abilities. These findings suggested that the AgNPs/ESM composites are promising candidates for the development of antimicrobial agent for biomedical devices and therapeutic applications, such as wound-healing agent.

Abstract
This study focused on potential of vitamin C loaded human serum albumin (HSA) nanoparticles for treatment of wound. Nanocarrier were prepared and assessed for their effect on growth of 3T3 fibroblast cells, cell migration, wound healing rate and expression of miR-155, TGF-β1 and SMAD 1,2 genes. Wound healing assay was done and wounds were treated with vitamin C loaded HSA nanoparticles. Nanoparticles were prepared with size and zeta potential of 180±6 and -29 mV, respectively. Vitamin C loaded HSA nanoparticles showed controlled release of vitamin C into the buffer solution. Also, yield and encapsulation efficacy of loaded nanoparticles were obtained as 70.6 and 52.1 %, respectively. MTT results showed that the growth of 3T3 fibroblast cells was promoted in culture medium with 20 µg/ml of vitamin C loaded HSA nanoparticles. Cell migration assay indicated the positive effect of loaded nanoparticles on wound healing. The in-vivo results showed that the rate of wound healing was increased after treatment with 20 µg/ml of vitamin C loaded HSA nanoparticles. The wounds were healed faster when treated with vitamin C loaded HSA nanoparticles in comparison with control group. The expression of miR-155 was downregulated after treatment. Furthermore, expression of TGF-β1 and SMAD 1,2 were increased while the wounds were treated with these nanoparticles. In conclusion, these results showed for the first time that wounds were healed after treatment with albumin nanocarrier loaded with vitamin C. This nanocarrier changed expression of miR-155 and TGF-β1 towards faster healing of wounds.

Abstract
Microbial infection around dental implants is a major cause for the loss of devices, including soft tissue infection in early period, post-operation peri-implantitis, and osseointegration failure. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with wide antimicrobial spectrum, strong antimicrobial effect and hypotoxicity, as well as low incidence of antibiotic resistance, are widely involved in biomedical applications. Herein, firmly anchoring AgNPs onto the surface of implants through physical-chemical reaction is likely to relieve the above issues. In this study, AgNPs were biosynthesized by a simple and "green" method with chitosan (CS) as stabilizing and reducing agents. Then, AgNPs-loaded CS-heparin polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) were constructed on alkali-heat treated titanium (Ti) substrates via layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly technique. The successful surface modification could be confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and the constructed system could provide the continuous release of Ag+ over 28 days till mucosa healing. In short, this work revealed that the construction of multilayer coatings containing AgNPs on Ti substrates promoted adhesion and proliferation of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) and also enhanced the antimicrobial properties. This manifests the LbL technique is a viable and promising method for forming continuous antimicrobial coatings, to reduce microbial infection and improve the quality of peri-implant soft tissue seal. The preparation process of AgNPs-loaded CS-heparin PEMs on Ti substrate.

Abstract
Wound dressings with long-term antimicrobial activity are highly desired for treatment of chronic wound infections. Herein, the sustained antimicrobial wound dressings were developed by using antibiotic agents, ciprofloxacin HCL (CIP) and gentamicin sulfate (GS), covalent bonding to natural polymer matrix composites, carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) and collagen (COL). By amide bond formation between antibiotic agents and polymer chains, two antimicrobial wound dressings CMC-COL-CIP and CMC-COL-GS were prepared. The presented wound dressings exhibited high water absorption capacity, excellent water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), appropriate mechanical properties, and impressive stability. Cytocompatibility of the dressings was demonstrated by in vitro human skin fibroblast (HSF) cells culture study. The results of in vitro and in vivo studies indicated that the two antimicrobial wound dressings have effective antimicrobial activity and prolonged antimicrobial period. Furthermore, the antimicrobial dressings could promote the wound healing, reepithelialization, collagen deposition, and angiogenesis. It also displays superiority wound healing effects compared to commercially available silver-based dressings (Aguacel Ag). This work indicates that the prepared antimicrobial wound dressings have great potential application in chronic wound healing, such as severe wound cure and diabetic foot ulcers.

Abstract
Background An ideal wound dressing should exhibit good biocompatibility, minimize pain and infection, absorb excess exudates, and maintain a moist environment. However, few clinical products meet all these needs. Therefore, the aim of this study was to fabricate a multifunctional double layer nanofibrous scaffolds (DLS) as a potential material for wound dressing. Materials and methods The scaffold was formed from mupirocin and lidocaine hydrochloride homogeneously incorporated into polycaprolactone as the first layer of scaffolds and chitosan as the second layer of scaffolds nanofibers through electrospinning. The fabricated nanofibrous scaffolds were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and measurement of swelling ratio, contact angle, drug release, and mechanical properties. Furthermore, antibacterial assessment, live/dead cell assays, and MTT assays were used to investigate the antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity of the nanofibrous scaffolds. Results The morphology of the nanofibrous scaffolds was studied by scanning electron microscopy, showing successful nanofibrous scaffolds. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy demonstrated the successful incorporation of the material used to produce the produced nanofibrous scaffolds. Thermal studies with thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry indicated that the DLS had high thermal stability. The DLS also showed good in vitro characteristics in terms of improved swelling ratio and contact angle. The mechanical results revealed that the DLS had an improved tensile strength of 3.88 MPa compared with the second layer of scaffold (2.81 MPa). The release of drugs from the scaffold showed different profiles for the two drugs. Lidocaine hydrochlo ride exhibited an initial burst release (66% release within an hour); however, mupirocin exhibited only a 5% release. Furthermore, the DLS nanofibers displayed highly effective antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and were nontoxic to fibroblasts. Conclusion The fabricated DLS exhibited excellent hydrophilicity, cytocompatibility, sustained drug release, and antibacterial activity, which are favorable qualities for its use as a multifunctional material for wound dressing applications.
