Abstract
Polymeric barrier membranes are used in periodontal applications to prevent fibroblastic cell migration into the cavities of bone tissue and to properly guide the proliferation of tissues. In this study, the fabrication, characterization, bioactivity, and in vitro biological properties of polyvinyl alcohol-based nanofibrous membranes containing nano-sized 45S5 bioactive glass (BG) loaded with chlorhexidine (CH) gluconate with biocompatible, bioactive, and antibacterial properties for using as dental barrier membranes were investigated. Nanofibrous membranes with an average fiber diameter, pore size, and porosity of 210 nm, 24.73 μm, and 12.42%, respectively, were loaded with 1% and 2% CH, and the release profile was investigated. The presence of BG in the membranes promoted fibroblastic proliferation and the presence of CH provided antibacterial properties. Nanofibrous membranes exhibit a high ability to restrict bacterial growth while fulfilling the necessary conditions for use as a dental barrier thanks to their low swelling rates, significant surface bioactivities, and appropriate degradation levels.

Antibiotics (Basel) 2023; 12:1414. [PMID: 37760711 PMCID: PMC10526102 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics12091414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Chlorhexidine is the most commonly used anti-infective drug in dentistry. To treat infected void areas, a drug-loaded material that swells to fill the void and releases the drug slowly is needed. This study investigated the encapsulation and release of chlorhexidine from cellulose acetate nanofibers for use as an antibacterial treatment for dental bacterial infections by oral bacteria Streptococcus mutans and Enterococcus faecalis. This study used a commercial electrospinning machine to finely control the manufacture of thin, flexible, chlorhexidine-loaded cellulose acetate nanofiber mats with very-small-diameter fibers (measured using SEM). Water absorption was measured gravimetrically, drug release was analyzed by absorbance at 254 nm, and antibiotic effects were measured by halo analysis in agar. Slow electrospinning at lower voltage (14 kV), short target distance (14 cm), slow traverse and rotation, and syringe injection speeds with controlled humidity and temperature allowed for the manufacture of strong, thin films with evenly cross-meshed, uniform low-diameter nanofibers (640 nm) that were flexible and absorbed over 600% in water. Chlorhexidine was encapsulated efficiently and released in a controlled manner. All formulations killed both bacteria and may be used to fill infected voids by swelling for intimate contact with surfaces and hold the drug in the swollen matrix for effective bacterial killing in dental settings.

Abstract
To recreate the in vivo niche for tendon tissue engineering in vitro, the characteristics of tendon tissue underlines the use of biochemical and biophysical cues during tenocyte culture. Herein, we prepare core-sheath nanofibers with polycaprolactone (PCL) sheath for mechanical support and hyaluronic acid (HA)/platelet-rich plasma (PRP) core for growth factor delivery. Three types of core-sheath nanofiber membrane scaffolds (CSNMS), consisting of random HA-PCL nanofibers (Random), random HA/PRP-PCL nanofibers (Random+) or aligned HA/PRP-PCL (Align+) nanofibers, were used to study response of rabbit tenocytes to biochemical (PRP) and biophysical (fiber alignment) stimulation. The core-sheath structures as well as other pertinent properties of CSNMS have been characterized, with Align+ showing the best mechanical properties. The unidirectional growth of tenocytes, as induced by aligned fiber topography, was confirmed from cell morphology and cytoskeleton expression. The combined effects of PRP and fiber alignment in Align+ CSNMS lead to enhanced cell proliferation rates, as well as upregulated gene expression and marker protein synthesis. Another biophysical cue on tenocytes was introduced by dynamic culture of tenocyte-seeded Align+ in a bioreactor with cyclic tension stimulation. Augmented by this biophysical beacon from mechanical loading, dynamic cell culture could shorten the time for tendon maturation in vitro, with improved cell proliferation rates and tenogenic phenotype maintenance, compared to static culture. Therefore, we successfully demonstrate how combined use of biochemical/topographical cues as well as mechanical stimulation could ameliorate cellular response of tenocytes in CSNMS, which can provide a functional in vitro environmental niche for tendon tissue engineering.

Preparation of pH-sensitive polylactic acid-naringin coaxial electrospun fiber membranes for maintaining and monitoring salmon freshness. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 188:708-718.

Abstract
Seafood spoilage can be prevented by inhibiting the quorum sensing (QS) system between bacteria. However, membrane materials combining freshness indicators with QS inhibition features have rarely been reported. Therefore, in this study, pH-sensitive polylactic acid-naringin coaxial electrospun fibers capable of maintaining and monitoring freshness were prepared and investigated. Surface analysis revealed that the fiber membranes exhibited a smooth surface and an average diameter of 243 nm. FTIR spectroscopy analysis revealed characteristic absorption peaks at 3265 and 1124 cm-1, confirming the successful loading of naringin and bromocresol purple. Release behavior analysis verified the uninterrupted release of naringin within 192 h, which enabled the fibers to achieve a protease inhibitory activity rate of 35.94%. Furthermore, the coaxial fibers successfully inhibited the expression of rhlI, rhlR, aprA, and fliA in Pseudomonas fluorescens. The real-world applicability of the coaxial fibers was evaluated by the salmon spoilage assay, where a 4-d extension to the shelf life of the coated fillets was attained. Additionally, the color of the coaxial fibers changed with the deterioration of salmon quality and the ΔE value increased from 4.75 to 26.51. These results verify that the prepared fibers can effectively monitor the freshness of seafood products and improve their storage conditions.

Abstract
In this study, we prepared core-sheath nanofiber membranes (CSNFMs) with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) embedding in the polylactic acid (PLA) nanofiber sheath and hyaluronic acid (HA) in the nanofiber core. The PLA/Ag NPs sheath provides mechanical support as well as anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. The controlled release of HA from the core could exert anti-adhesion effects to promote tendon sliding while reducing fibroblast attachment. From the microfibrous structural nature of CSNFMs, they function as barrier membranes to reduce fibroblast penetration without hampering nutrient transports to prevent post-operative peritendinous adhesion. As the anti-adhesion efficacy will depend on release rate of HA from the core as well as Ag NP from the sheath, we fabricated CSNFMs of comparable fiber diameter, but with thick (Tk) or thin (Tn) sheath. Similar CSNFMs with thick (Tk+) and thin (Tn+) sheath but with embedded Ag NPs in the sheath were also prepared. The physico-chemical properties of the barrier membranes were characterized in details, together with their biological response including cell penetration, cell attachment and proliferation, and cytotoxicity. Peritendinous anti-adhesion models in rabbits were used to test the efficacy of CSNFMs as anti-adhesion barriers, from gross observation, histology, and biomechanical tests. Overall, the CSNFM with thin-sheath and Ag NPs (Tn+) shows antibacterial activity with low cytotoxicity, prevents fibroblast penetration, and exerts the highest efficacy in reducing fibroblast attachment in vitro. From in vivo studies, the Tn+ membrane also shows significant improvement in preventing peritendinous adhesions as well as anti-inflammatory efficacy, compared with Tk and Tn CSNFMs and a commercial adhesion barrier film (SurgiWrap®) made from PLA.

Abstract
Nowadays, the treatment of health care-associated infections represents a serious issue, due to the increasing number of bacterial strains resistant to traditional antibiotics. The use of antiseptics like quaternary ammonium salts and biguanides is a viable alternative to face these life-threatening infections. However, their inherent toxicity as well as the necessity of providing a sustained release to avoid the formation of pathogen biofilms are compelling obstacles towards their assessment in the hospitals. Within this framework, the role of polymeric drug delivery systems is fundamental to overcome the aforementioned problems. Biocompatibility, biodegradability and excipient-drug interactions are crucial properties determining the efficacy of the formulation. In this work, we provide an in-depth analysis of the polymer drug delivery systems that have been developed or are under development for the sustained release of positively charged antiseptics, highlighting the crucial characteristics that allowed to achieve the most relevant therapeutic effects. We reported and compared natural occurring polymers and synthetic carriers to show their pros and cons and applicability in the treatment of health care-associated infections. Then, the discussion is focused on a particularly relevant class of materials adopted for the scope, represented by polyesters, which gave rise, due to their biodegradability, to the field of resorbable drug delivery devices. Finally, a specific analysis on the effect of the polymer functionalization over the formulation performances for the different types of polymeric carriers is presented.

Abstract
Designing complex-forming biodegradable and biocompatible electrospun mats (EMs) by incorporating β- cyclodextrin (β-CD) into polylactic acid (PLA)/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) (70:30 w/w) blend based polyester matrix. The influence of β-CD loading on the morphological, thermal, and microstructural properties was investigated using scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The studies revealed the presence of characteristic interactions between the polymer matrix and β-CD moieties. Further, the quasi-static mechanical properties of EMs were evaluated using a universal testing machine. An enhancement in modulus and strength was obtained for ∼ 2.5-5 phr of β-CD content and beyond ∼ 5 phr of β-CD content, the mechanical properties of EMs were observed to deteriorate. The contact angle studies indicated a decrease in hydrophobicity of PLA/PCL-based EMs with the increase in β-CD content. The swelling and weight loss studies in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) indicated a subsequent release of β-CD from the EMs. FT-IR and 1H NMR spectra elucidated the removal of curcumin from ethanol-water solutions and its simultaneous encapsulation in β-CD hydrophobic cavities (released) of fabricated EMs. Thus, the study demonstrates the development of aliphatic polyester-based biodegradable-functional EMs with tunable physico-mechanical properties for biomedical applications, facilitating encapsulation and rapid removal of waste hydrophobic ultrafine molecules from the system.

Abstract
Inflammation that is not resolved in due course becomes a chronic disease. The treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases involves a long-term use of anti-inflammatory drugs such as corticosteroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, often accompanied by dose-dependent side effects. Local drug delivery systems have been widely explored to reduce their off-target side effects and the medication frequency, with several products making to the market or in development over the years. However, numerous challenges remain, and drug delivery technology is underutilized in some applications. This review showcases local drug delivery systems in different inflammatory diseases, including the targets well-known to drug delivery scientists (e.g., joints, eyes, and teeth) and other applications with untapped opportunities (e.g., sinus, bladder, and colon). In each section, we start with a brief description of the disease and commonly used therapy, introduce local drug delivery systems currently on the market or in the development stage, focusing on polymeric systems, and discuss the remaining challenges and opportunities in future product development.

Abstract
The paper presents the method of synthesis; physico-technical and biological characterization of a new composite material (PLA–Cu0) obtained by sputter deposition of copper on melt-blown poly(lactide) (PLA) non-woven fabrics. The analysis of these biofunctionalized non-woven fabrics included: ultraviolet/visible (UV/VIS) transmittance; scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS); attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy; ability to block UV radiation; filtration parameters (air permeability); and tensile testing. The functionalized non-woven composite materials were subjected to antimicrobial tests against colonies of Gram-negative (Escherichia coli), Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria and antifungal tests against the Chaetomium globosum fungal mould species. The antibacterial and antifungal activity of PLA–Cu0 suggests potential applications as an antimicrobial material.

Abstract
The paper presents a method of obtaining poly(lactide) (PLA) nonwoven fabrics with antifungal properties using potassium iodide as a nonwoven modifying agent. PLA nonwoven fabrics were obtained by the melt-blown technique and subsequently surface modified (PLA→PLA-SM-KI) by the dip-coating method. The analysis of these PLA-SM-KI (0.1%–2%) composites included Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), UV/VIS transmittance, FTIR spectrometry and air permeability. The nonwovens were subjected to microbial activity tests against Aspergillus niger fungal mold species, exhibiting substantial antifungal activity. The studies showed that PLA-KI hybrids containing 2% KI have appropriate mechanical properties, morphology and demanded antimicrobial properties to be further developed as a potential antimicrobial, biodegradable material.

[PMID: 31906503 PMCID: PMC7023585 DOI: 10.3390/polym12010066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2019] [Revised: 12/19/2019] [Accepted: 12/20/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
To prevent the uncontrolled development of a pathogenic biofilm around a dental implant, an antimicrobial drug-release electrospun membrane, set up between the implant and the gingival tissue, was developed by taking several technical, industrial and regulatory specifications into account. The membrane formulation is made of a blend of poly(l-lactic–co–gycolic acid) (PLGA, 85:15) and poly(l-lactic acide–co–ɛ-caprolactone) (PLC, 70:30) copolymers with chlorhexidine diacetate (CHX) complexed with β-cyclodextrin (CD). The amount of residual solvent, the mechanical properties and the drug release kinetics were tuned by the copolymers’ ratio, between 30% and 100% of PLC, and a CHX loading up to 20% w/w. The membranes were sterilized by γ-irradiation without significant property changes. The fiber′s diameter was between 600 nm and 3 µm, depending on the membrane composition and the electrospinning parameters. CHX was released in vitro over 10 days and the bacterial inhibitory concentration, 80 µg·mL−1, was reached within eight days. The optimal membrane, PGLA/PLC/CHX-CD (60%/40%/4%), exhibited a breaking strain of 50%, allowing its safe handling. This membrane and a membrane without CHX-CD were implanted subcutaneous in a rat model. The cell penetration remained low. The next step will be to increase the porosity of the membrane to improve the dynamic cell penetration and tissue remodeling.

Abstract
Periodontitis (PD) is a microbial disease of tooth supporting tissues that results in progressive destruction of surrounding soft and hard tissues with eventual tooth mobility and exfoliation. Perioceutics, which includes the delivery of therapeutic agents via systemic and local means as an adjunct to mechanical therapy has revolutionized the arena of periodontal therapy. Selection of a right antimicrobial agent with appropriate route of drug administration is the key to successful periodontal therapy. Irrigating systems, fibers, gels, strips, films, microparticles, nanoparticles and low dose antimicrobial agents are some of the local drug delivery systems (LDDS) available in the field, which aims to deliver antimicrobial agents to sub-gingival diseased sites with minimal or no side-effects on other body sites. The present review aim to summarize the current state-of-the-art technology on LDDS in periodontal therapy ensuring the the practitioners are able to choose LDD agents which are custom made for a specific clinical condition.

Abstract
Electrospun fibers have emerged as promising materials in the field of biomedicine, due to their superior physical and cell supportive properties. In particular, electrospun mats are being developed for advanced wound dressing applications. Such applications require the firers to possess excellent antimicrobial properties in order to inhibit potential microbial colonization from resident and non-resident bacteria. In this study, we have developed Poly-ε-Caprolactone /gelatin hybrid composite mats loaded with natural herbal extract (Gymnema sylvestre) to prevent bacterial colonization. As-spun scaffolds exhibited good wettability and desirable mechanical properties retaining their fibrous structure after immersing them in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.2) for up to 30 days. The initial burst release of Gymnema sylvestre prevented the colonization of bacteria as confirmed by the radial disc diffusion assay. Furthermore, the electrospun mats promoted cellular attachment, spreading and proliferation of human primary dermal fibroblasts and cultured keratinocytes, which are crucial parenchymal cell-types involved in the skin recovery process. Overall these results demonstrated the utility of Gymnema sylvestre impregnated electrospun PCL/Gelatin nanofibrous mats as an effective antimicrobial wound dressing.

Abstract
Efflux pump system-mediated bacterial multidrug resistance is one of the main causes of antibiotic failure. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a novel nanocarrier that could effectively inhibit drug-resistant bacteria by increasing the intake and retention time of antibiotics. Herein, we constructed a pH-responsive nanocarrier (MSN@FA@CaP@FA) with double folic acid (FA) and calcium phosphate (CaP) covered on the surface of mesoporous silica (MSN) by electrostatic attraction and biomineralization, respectively. Afterward, loading the nanocomposites with ampicillin (Amp) effectively increased the uptake and reduced the efflux effect in Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) by the specific targeting of FA. Moreover, Amp-MSN@FA@CaP@FA could specifically transport Amp to the bacterial infection site. Similarly, antibacterial experiments revealed that the Amp-MSN@FA@CaP@FA could significantly enhance the activity of Amp for inhibiting drug-resistant bacteria, without producing drug resistance. Additionally, the Amp-MSN@FA@CaP@FA could reduce the content of protein and inhibit the protein activity in drug-resistant bacteria, so that it destroyed the bacterial membrane and led to the bacteria death. In vivo antibacterial experiments showed that the Amp-MSN@FA@CaP@FA could effectively reduce the mortality of drug-resistant E. coli infection and promote wound healing of drug-resistant S. aureus infection. In summary, Amp-MSN@FA@CaP@FA has a potential for application in sustained-release nanostructures and to inhibit drug-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
Poly(lactic acid)-based antimicrobial materials received considerable attention as promising systems to control microbial growth. The remarkable physicochemical properties of PLA such as renewability, biodegradability, and US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for clinical use open up interesting perspectives for application in food packaging and biomedical materials. Nowadays, there is an increasing consumer demands for fresh, high-quality, and natural foods packaged with environmentally friendly materials that prolong the shelf life. The incorporation of antimicrobial agents into PLA-based polymers is likely to lead to the next generation of packaging materials. The development of antimicrobial PLA materials as a delivery system or coating for biomedical devices is also advantageous in order to reduce possible dose-dependent side effects and limit the phenomena of antibiotic resistance. This mini-review summarizes the most recent advances made in antimicrobial PLA-based polymers including their preparation, biocidal action, and applications. It also highlights the potential of PLA systems as efficient stabilizers-carriers of various kinds of antimicrobial additives including essential oils and other natural compounds, active particles and nanoparticles, and conventional and synthetic molecules.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To functionalize novel chlorhexidine (CHX) particles with iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles and control their release kinetics in a dental resin using an external magnetic field. METHODS Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized and incorporated into spherical CHX particles and the powder was freeze dried. Resin disc specimens were produced using a UDMA-HEMA resin mixed with freeze dried spherical Fe3O4-CHX particles (5wt.%), which were placed into a Teflon mould (10mm diameter×1mm depth) and covered with a Mylar strip. A MACS magnet was left in contact for 0min (Group 1), 5min (Group 2) or 10min (Group 3) and the resin discs subsequently light cured (Bluedent LED pen, Bulgaria) for 60s per side. The resin discs were immersed in deionized water at various time points up to 650h. UV-Vis absorbance was used to determine the CHX content. CHX released for each time point was determined. The functionalized CHX particles and resin discs were characterized using TEM, TGA, EDX and SEM. RESULTS Fe3O4 nanoparticles (20nm) incorporated into the spherical CHX particles led to a mean (SD) particle size reduction from 17.15 (1.99)μm to 10.39 (2.61)μm. The presence of Fe3O4 nanoparticles in the spherical CHX particles was confirmed with SEM, EDX, and TGA. SEM of Group 1 resin discs (no magnetic exposure) showed functionalized CHX spheres were homogeneously distributed within the resin discs. For resin discs which had magnetic exposure (5 or 10min) the particles started to cluster nearer the surface (Group 2: 43.7%, Group 3: 57.3%), to a depth of 94μm. UV-Vis absorbance revealed Group 1 resin discs had a cumulative CHX release of 4.4% compared to 5.9% for Group 2 and 7.4% for Group 3 resin discs, which had magnetic exposure (5, 10min). SIGNIFICANCE Fe3O4 nanoparticle functionalized CHX spheres demonstrated a magnetic field responsive property. A magnetic field responsive release of CHX may be useful in clinical situations where the drug can be directed to give a tailored release at the site of infection.

Abstract
To improve bone regeneration in oral microenvironment, we generated a novel biodegradable, antibacterial, and osteoconductive electrospun PLGA/PCL membrane as an ideal osteogenic scaffold. The novel three-layer membranes were structured with serial layers of electrospun chlorhexidine-doped-PLGA/PCL (PPC), PLGA/PCL (PP), and β-tricalcium phosphate-doped-PLGA/PCL (PPβ). To characterize osteoconductive properties of these membranes, MC3T3-E1 (MC) cultures were seeded onto the membranes for 14 days for evaluation of cell proliferation, morphology and gene/protein expression. In addition, MC cells were cultured onto different surfaces of the three-layer membranes, PPC layer facing MC cells (PPβ-PP-PPC) and PPβ layer facing MC cells (PPC-PP-PPβ) to evaluate surface-material effects. Membrane properties and structures were evaluated. Antibacterial properties against Streptococcus mutans and Staphylococcus aureus were determined. Scanning electron microscope demonstrated smaller interfiber spaces of PPC and PPβ-PP-PPC compared to PPβ, PPC-PP-PPβ, and PP. PPC and PPβ-PP-PPC exhibited hydrophilic property. The three-layer membranes (PPC-PP-PPβ and PPβ-PP-PPC) demonstrated significantly higher Young's modulus (94.99 ± 4.03 MPa and 92.88 ± 4.03 MPa) compared to PP (48.76 ± 18.15 MPa) or PPC (7.92 ± 3.97 MPa) (p < 0.05). No significant difference of cell proliferation was found among any groups at any time point (p > 0.05). Higher expression of integrins were detected at 12 h of cultures on PPC-PP-PPβ compared to the controls. Promoted osteoconductive effects of PPC-PP-PPβ were revealed by alkaline phosphatase assays and Western blot compared with the controls at 7 and 14 days. PPC, PPC-PP-PPβ and PPβ-PP-PPC exhibited a significantly wider antibacterial zone against the tested bacteria compared to PP and PPβ (p < 0.05). These results suggested that the three-layer electrospun membranes demonstrated superior properties: higher strength, better cell adhesion, and promoted osteoconductive properties compared to single-layer membrane: however, antibacterial properties were exhibited in three-layer electrospun membranes and chlorhexidine-doped single-layer membrane. We concluded that the novel three-layer membranes could be used as a biocompatible scaffold for intraoral bone regeneration due to its enhanced osteoconductive activity and antibacterial effect.

Abstract
Gold nanorods (GNR) are good light harvesting species for elaboration of near-infrared (NIR) responsive drug delivery systems. Herein, chlorhexidine microparticles are grown directly on the surface of gold nanorods and then stabilized with polyelectrolyte multilayer encapsulation, producing novel composite drug-GNR particles with high drug loading and NIR light sensitivity. Crystallization of chlorhexidine is caused by the ionic strength of the chloride solution that has been demonstrated via formation of a homogeneous porous spherical structure at 0.33 M CaCl2. By introducing GNRs into the CaCl2 solution, the nucleation of chlorhexidine molecules and size of produced spheres are affected, since GNRs act as sites for chlorhexidine nucleation. Similarly, when GNRs are replaced by chlorhexidine seeds (5.2 ± 1.7 μm), a core-shell crystal structure is observed. The encapsulated GNR/chlorhexidine composites are responsive to NIR light (840 nm) that increases the temperature at the chlorhexidine crystals, followed by microparticle dissolution and rupture of capsules which is illustrated with confocal microscopy and SEM. Furthermore, a stepwise burst release of chlorhexidine can be induced by multiple cycles of NIR light exposure. The GNR/chlorhexidine composites show good biocompatibility and antimicrobial activity. The proposed method of antibacterial drug release may therefore indicate that this NIR responsive chlorhexidine composite may be useful for future clinical applications.
