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

Gao J, Zhu Y, Zeng L, Liu X, Yang Y, Zhou Y. Recent advances on environmental behavior of Cu-based nanomaterials in soil-plant system: A review. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 361:121289. [PMID: 38820797 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.121289] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/02/2024]
Abstract
In recent years, copper-based nanomaterials (Cu-based NMs) have shown great potential in promoting agriculture development due to their special physicochemical characteristics. With the mass production and overuse of Cu-based NMs, there are potential effects on the soil-plant environment. Soil organisms, especially soil microorganisms, play a significant part in terrestrial or soil ecosystems; plants, as indirect organisms with soil-related Cu-based NMs, may affect human health through plant agricultural products. Understanding the accumulation and transformation of Cu-based NMs in soil-plant systems, as well as their ecotoxicological effects and potential mechanisms, is a prerequisite for the scientific assessment of environmental risks and safe application. Therefore, based on the current literature, this review: (i) introduces the accumulation and transformation behaviors of Cu-based NMs in soil and plant systems; (ii) focuses on the ecotoxicological effects of Cu-based NMs on a variety of organisms (microorganisms, invertebrates, and plants); (iii) reveals their corresponding toxicity mechanisms. It appears from studies hitherto made that both Cu-based NMs and released Cu2+ may be the main reasons for toxicity. When Cu-based NMs enter the soil-plant environment, their intrinsic physicochemical properties, along with various environmental factors, could also affect their transport, transformation, and biotoxicity. Therefore, we should push for intensifying the multi-approach research that focuses on the behaviors of Cu-based NMs in terrestrial exposure environments, and mitigates their toxicity to ensure the promotion of Cu-based NMs.

[PMID: 37805152 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.123484] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 09/30/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/09/2023]
Abstract
In this study, a novel multifunctional nanocomposite wound dressing was developed, consisting of TEMPO-oxidized bacterial cellulose (TOBC) nanofibers functionalized with donut-like copper-based metal-organic frameworks (CuVB3 MOFs). These CuVB3 MOFs were constructed using copper nodes linked by vitamin B3 molecules, resulting in a copper nicotinate crystal structure as confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Electron microscopy confirmed the presence of donut-like microstructures with uniform element distribution in the synthesized MOFs. Through the incorporation of CuVB3 MOFs into the TOBC nanofibers, innovative TOBC-CuVB3 nanocomposites were created. Biocompatibility testing using the MTT assay demonstrated enhanced cell viability of over 115% for the TOBC-CuVB3 nanocomposite. Acridine Orange staining revealed a ratio of 88-92% live cells on the wound dressings. Furthermore, fibroblast cells cultured on TOBC-CuVB3 exhibited expanded morphologies with long filopodia. The agar diffusion method exhibited improved antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains, correlating with increased CuVB3 concentration in the samples. In vitro cellular scratch assays demonstrated excellent wound healing potential, with a closure rate of over 98% for wounds treated with the TOBC-CuVB3 nanocomposite. These findings underscore the synergistic effects of copper, vitamin B3, and TOBC nanofibers in the wound healing process.

Abstract
The development of fascinating materials with functional properties has revolutionized the humankind with materials comfort, stopped the spreading of diseases, relieving the environmental pollution pressure, economized government research funds, and prolonged their serving life. The outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has triggered great global public health concern. Face masks are crucial tools to impede the spreading of SARS-CoV-2 from human to human. However, current face masks exhibit in a variety of colors (opaque), like blue, black, red, etc., leading to a communication barrier between the doctor and the deaf-mute patient when wearing a mask. High optical transparency filters can be utilized for both personal protection and lip-reading. Thus, shaping face air filter into a transparent appearance is an urgent need. Electrospinning technology, as a mature technology, is commonly used to form nanofiber materials utilizing high electrical voltage. With the alteration of the diameters of nanofibers, and proper material selection, it would be possible to make the transparent face mask. In this article, the research progress in the transparent face air filter is reviewed with emphasis on three parts: mechanism of the electrospinning process and light transmission, preparation of transparent face air filter, and their innovative potential. Through the assessment of classic cases, the benefits and drawbacks of various preparation strategies and products are evaluated, to provide general knowledge for the needs of different application scenarios. In the end, the development directions of transparent face masks in protective gear, particularly their novel functional applications and potential contributions in the prevention and control of the epidemic are also proposed.

Abstract
Achieving an efficient and inexpensive bactericidal effect is a key point for the design of antibacterial agent. Recent advances have proved molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) as a promising platform for antimicrobial applications, while the combination of metal nanoparticle would promote the antibacterial efficiency. Nevertheless, the dispersivity, cheapness and safety of metal nanoparticle loaded on MoS2raised some concerns. In this paper, we successfully realized a uniform decoration of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) on surface of MoS2nanosheets, and the size of CuNPs could be controlled below 5 nm. Under 5 min irradiation of 660 nm visible light, the synthesized CuNPs/MoS2composite demonstrated superior antibacterial performances (almost 100% bacterial killed) towards both Gram-negativeE. coliand Gram-positiveS. aureusover the single component (Cu or MoS2), while the bactericidal effect could last for at least 6 h. The synergism of photodynamic generated hydroxyl radical (·OH), oxidative stress without reactive oxygen species production and the release of Cu ions was considered as the mechanism for the antibacterial properties of CuNPs/MoS2. Our findings provided new insights into the development of two-dimensional antibacterial nanomaterials of high cost performance.

Abstract
A chip-based electrochemical biosensor is developed herein for the detection of organophosphate (OP) in food materials. The principle of the sensing platform is based on the inhibition of dimethoate (DMT), a typical OP that specifically inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity. Carbon nanotube-modified gold electrodes functionalized with polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (PDDA) and oxidized nanocellulose (NC) were investigated for the sensing of OP, yielding high sensitivity. Compared with noncovalent adsorption and deposition in bovine serum albumin, bioconjugation with lysine side chain activation allowed the enzyme to be stable over three weeks at room temperature. The total amount of AChE was quantified, whose activity inhibition was highly linear with respect to DMT concentration. Increased incubation times and/or DMT concentration decreased current flow. The composite electrode showed a sensitivity 4.8-times higher than that of the bare gold electrode. The biosensor was challenged with organophosphate-spiked food samples and showed a limit of detection (LOD) of DMT at 4.1 nM, with a limit of quantification (LOQ) at 12.6 nM, in the linear range of 10 nM to 1000 nM. Such performance infers significant potential for the use of this system in the detection of organophosphates in real samples.

Abstract
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, most countries have recommended their citizens to adopt social distance, hand hygiene, and face mask wearing. However, wearing face masks has not been well adopted by many citizens. While the reasons are complex, there is a general perception that the evidence to support face mask wearing is lacking, especially for the general public in a community setting. Face mask wearing can block or filter airborne virus-carrying particles through the working of colloid and interface science. This paper assesses current knowledge behind the design and functioning of face masks by reviewing the selection of materials, mask specifications, relevant laboratory tests, and respiratory virus transmission trials, with an overview of future development of reusable masks for the general public. This review highlights the effectiveness of face mask wearing in the prevention of COVID-19 infection.

Abstract
A simple chemical reduction method was employed to synthesize Cu-Ag and Ag-Cu core-shell nanostructures inside polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix at room temperature. The core-shell nanostructures have been synthesized by varying the two different concentrations (i.e. 0.1 and 0.01 M) of the respective metal ions in equimolar ratios using successive reduction with hydrazine hydrate (HH) as a reducing agent. The core-shell nanostructures have been further characterized by different characterization techniques. The UV-visible spectroscopy exhibit the respective shift in the band positions suggesting the formation of core-shell nanostructures, which was further confirmed by field emission transmission electron microscopy-high-angle-annular dark field elemental mapping. The effect of metal ion concentration of the core-shell nanostructure on various Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria like Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and one fungal species Aspergillus fumigatus was observed by performing MIC and MBC/MFC study. Cu-Ag core-shell nanostructures were found to be effective antibacterial agent against all tested Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, whereas Ag-Cu core-shell nanostructures were more efficient against a particular fungal species known as A. fumigatus. The highest value of MIC (75 µg ml-1) for Ag-Cu 0.1M core shell nanostructures (D1) was noted against S. aureus and E. coli whereas the lowest value (20 µg ml-1) was observed with P. aeruginosa. While in case of Cu-Ag 0.1M core shell nanostructures (E1) the highest value of MIC (100 µg ml-1) was noted against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa whereas the lowest value (15 µg ml-1) was observed with A. fumigatus. Also, field effect scanning electron microscope (FESEM) images of untreated and core-shell nanoparticles treated micro-organisms showed that 0.1 M Ag-Cu and 0.1 M Cu-Ag core-shell nanostructure can successfully break the cell wall of the fungi A. fumigatus and bacteria P. aeruginosa, respectively. Thus the present study concludes that, Cu-Ag & Ag-Cu core-shell nanostructures damage the cell structure of micro-organisms and inhibits their growth. Hence, the present Cu-Ag & Ag-Cu core-shell nanostructure acts as good antimicrobial agent against the bacteria and fungi, respectively.

Abstract
In this report, the electrical properties of plasma polymer films functionalized with ZnO nanoparticles were investigated with respect to their potential applications in biomaterials and microelectronics fields. The nanocomposite films were produced using a single-step method that combines simultaneous plasma polymerization of renewable geranium essential oil with thermal decomposition of zinc acetylacetonate Zn(acac)2. The input power used for the deposition of composites were 10 W and 50 W, and the resulting composite structures were abbreviated as Zn/Ge 10 W and Zn/Ge 50 W, respectively. The electrical properties of pristine polymers and Zn/polymer composite films were studied in metal-insulator-metal structures. At a quantity of ZnO of around ~1%, it was found that ZnO had a small influence on the capacitance and dielectric constants of thus-fabricated films. The dielectric constant of films with smaller-sized nanoparticles exhibited the highest value, whereas, with the increase in ZnO particle size, the dielectric constant decreases. The conductivity of the composites was calculated to be in the in the range of 10-14-10-15 Ω-1 m-1, significantly greater than that for the pristine polymer, the latter estimated to be in the range of 10-16-10-17 Ω-1 m-1.

Abstract
This work aimed to investigate the effects of the palygorskite (PAL) composites on the growth performance and antioxidant status in broiler chickens. A total of 192 one-day-old Ross 308 broilers were randomly divided into 3 treatment groups. Broilers were fed basal diets supplemented with either 50 mg/kg chlortetracycline (CTC group), 1 g/kg ZnO/PAL (ZnO/PAL group), or 1 g/kg chitooligosaccharides/ZnO/PAL (COS/ZnO/PAL group), respectively. The results showed that PAL composites were found to exhibit similar effects on growth performance as CTC (P > 0.05). ZnO/PAL and COS/ZnO/PAL enhanced the activity of serum glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) compared with CTC both at 21 and 42 d (P < 0.05). Compared with the CTC group, COS/ZnO/PAL enhanced serum catalase (CAT) activity at 21 d (P < 0.05), and decreased serum malondialdehyde (MDA) content at 42 d (P < 0.05). Compared with the CTC group, ZnO/PAL decreased duodenal mucous MDA content at 21 d, while ZnO/PAL did not affect activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and GSH-Px in the duodenum (P > 0.05). The duodenal mucous activities of SOD and GSH-Px were the highest in the COS/ZnO/PAL group at 42 d (P < 0.05). At 21 d, broilers in the COS/ZnO/PAL group had the lowest MDA content and the highest total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) in the jejunum (P < 0.05). Palygorskite composites decreased ileum mucous MDA content compared with CTC treated broilers at 21 d (P < 0.05). At 42 d, ileum mucous T-AOC was increased both in the ZnO/PAL and COS/ZnO/PAL groups compared with the CTC group (P < 0.05). The ileum mucous GSH-Px activities both in the ZnO/PAL and COS/ZnO/PAL groups were increased compared with the CTC group (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the broilers given the basal diet supplemented with the PAL composites exhibited similar growth performance to their counterparts in the AGP group. Additionally, the PAL composites improved the antioxidant status of broilers and the beneficial effects of COS/ZnO/PAL on the antioxidant status are more pronounced.

Abstract
Sample preparation is a leading bottleneck in rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria. Here, we use Lyse-It® for bacterial cellular lysis, genomic DNA fragmentation, and protein release and degradation for both Listeria monocytogenes and Vibrio cholerae. The concept of Lyse-It® employs a conventional microwave and Lyse-It® slides for intensely focused microwave irradiation onto the sample. High microwave power and a <60 second irradiation time allow for rapid cellular lysis and subsequent intracellular component release. The pathogenic bacteria are identified by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), which subsequently demonstrates the viability of DNA for amplification post microwave-induced lysis. Intracellular component release, degradation, and detection of L. monocytogenes and V. cholerae has been performed and shown in this paper. These results demonstrate a rapid, low-cost, and efficient way for bacterial sample preparation on both food and water-borne Gram-positive and -negative organisms alike.

Abstract
A highly sensitive amperometric glucose sensor was developed by immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOx) onto multi-layer reduced graphene oxide (MRGO) sheets decorated with platinum and gold flower-like nanoparticles (PtAuNPs) modified Au substrate electrode. The fabricated MRGO/PtAuNPs modified hybrid electrode demonstrated high electrocatalytic activities toward oxidation of H2O2, to which it had a wide linear response that ranged from 0.5 to 8 mM (R2 = 0.997), and high sensitivity of 506.25 μA/mMcm2. Furthermore, glucose oxidase-chitosan composite and cationic polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (PDDA) were assembled by a casting method on the surface of MRGO/PtAuNPs modified electrode. This as-fabricated hybrid biosensor electrode exhibited high electrocatalytic activity for the detection of glucose in PBS. It demonstrated good analytical properties in terms of a low detection limit of 1 μM (signal-to-noise ratio of 3), short response time (3 s), high sensitivity (17.85 μA/mMcm2), and a wide linear range (0.01–8 mM) for glucose sensing. These results reveal that the newly developed sensing electrode offers great promise for new type enzymatic biosensor applications.

Abstract
Surface energy (SE) is the most sensitive and fundamental parameter for governing the interfacial interactions in nanoscale carbon materials. However, on account of the complexities involved of hybridization states and surface bonds, achieved SE values are often less in comparison with their theoretical counterparts and strongly influenced by stability aspects. Here, an advanced facing-target pulsed dc unbalanced magnetron-sputtering process is presented for the synthesis of undoped and H/N-doped nanocrystalline carbon thin films. The time-dependent surface properties of the undoped and H/N-doped nanocrystalline carbon thin films are systematically studied. The advanced plasma process induced the dominant deposition of high-energy neutral carbon species, consequently controlling the intercolumnar spacing of nanodomain morphology and surface anisotropy of electron density. As a result, significantly higher SE values (maximum = 79.24 mJ/m2) are achieved, with a possible window of 79.24-66.5 mJ/m2 by controlling the experimental conditions. The intrinsic (size effects and functionality) and extrinsic factors (atmospheric exposure) are resolved and explained on the basis of size-dependent cohesive energy model and long-range van der Waals interactions between hydrocarbon molecules and the carbon surface. The findings anticipate the enhanced functionality of nanocrystalline carbon thin films in terms of selectivity, sensitivity, and stability.
