Abstract
Most of present works of osteoarthritis (OA) therapy are focusing on reducing friction and improving drug loading capacity, while little attention is paid to realizing long-time lubrication and on-demand drug release. In this study, inspired by snowboards with good solid-liquid interface lubrication, a fluorinated graphene based nanosystem with dual functions of long-time lubrication and thermal-responsive drug release was constructed for OA synergetic therapy. An aminated polyethylene glycol bridging strategy was developed to enable covalent grafting of hyaluronic acid on fluorinated graphene. This design not only greatly increased the nanosystem's biocompatibility, but also reduced the coefficient of friction (COF) by 83.3 % compared to H2O. The nanosystem showed long-time and steady aqueous lubrication behavior even after more than 24,000 times of friction tests, and a low COF of 0.13 was obtained with over 90% wear volume reduction. Diclofenac sodium was controllably loaded and sustained drug release was tuned by near-infrared light. Moreover, anti-inflammation results showed that the nanosystem had good protective effect on inhibiting OA deterioration, which could up-regulate cartilage anabolic genes of Col2α and aggrecan while down-regulating catabolic proteases genes of TAC1 and MMP1. This work constructs a novel dual-functional nanosystem that realizes friction and wear reduction with long lubrication life, and shows thermal-responsive on-demand drug release with good synergistic therapeutic effect of OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is associated with lubrication failure of articular cartilage and severe inflammatory response of joint capsule. Synergistic therapy combining joint lubrication and anti-inflammation emerges as a novel treatment of OA. In this study, bioinspired by ultralow friction of natural articular synovial fluid and mussel adhesion chemistry, a biomimetic nanosystem with dual functions of enhanced lubrication and stimuli-responsive drug release is developed. A dopamine mediated strategy realizes one step biomimetic grafting of hyaluronic acid (HA) on fluorinated graphene. The polymer modified sheets exhibit highly efficient near-infrared absorption, and show steady lubrication with a long time under various working conditions, in which the coefficient of friction is reduced by 75% compared to H2 O. Diclofenac sodium (DS) with a high loading capacity of 29.2% is controllably loaded, and responsive and sustained drug release is adjusted by near-infrared light. Cell experiments reveal that the lubricating nanosystem is taken up by endocytosis, and anti-inflammation results confirm that the nanosystem inhibits osteoarthritis deterioration by upregulating cartilage anabolic gene and downregulating catabolic proteases and pain-related gene. This work proposes a promising biomimetic approach to integrate polymer modified fluorinated graphene as a dual-functional nanosystem for effective synergistic therapy of OA.

Abstract
Introdcution Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are major causes of COVID-19 mortality. However, drug delivery to lung tissues is impeded by endothelial cell barriers, limiting the efficacy of existing treatments. A prompt and aggressive treatment strategy is therefore necessary. Methods We assessed the ability of anti-CD31-ORI-NPs to penetrate endothelial cell barriers and specifically accumulate in lung tissues using an animal model. We also compared the efficacy of anti-CD31-ORI-NPs to that of free oridonin in ameliorating acute lung injury and evaluated the cytotoxicity of both treatments on endothelial cells. Results Compared to free ORI, the amount of anti-CD31-ORI-NPs accumulated in lung tissues increase at least three times. Accordingly, anti-CD31-ORI-NPs improve the efficacy three times on suppressing IL-6 and TNF-a secretion, ROS production, eventually ameliorating acute lung injury in animal model. Importantly, anti-CD31-ORI-NPs significantly decrease the cytotoxicity at least two times than free oridonin on endothelial cells. Discussion Our results from this study will not only offer a novel therapeutic strategy with high efficacy and low toxicity, but also provide the rational design of nanomaterials of a potential drug for acute lung injury therapy.

Abstract
Laser photothermal-conversion membranes have great potential applications in many different fields, including laser ignition. However, the demand for real-time, high heat output calls for an extra heat-releasing pattern other than the traditional luminous energy–thermal, energy-conversion mechanism. Herein, it was found that fluorinated graphene (FG) was a promising candidate for laser photothermal conversion due to the extra chemical energy–thermal, energy-conversion process, which originated from a self-redox reaction under laser irradiation. Moreover, an easy sonochemical, exfoliation–filtration protocol was provided for the preparation of the fluorinated, graphene-based, free-standing membranes. In brief, FG flakes were arranged into flower-like patterns and formed freestanding, carpet-like membranes with layered structures with the filtration of FG suspension, which was obtained from exfoliating fluorographite in N-methylpyrrolidone. Furthermore, this contribution also revealed that modifying the FG membranes with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) was helpful for improving the photothermal-conversion properties. With the construction of the FG/PTFE composited structure, higher heat output could be achieved when a laser pulse is applied to the composite membranes. This work revealed the great potential of fluorinated graphene in laser photothermal conversion, and provided an alternative route of introducing a chemical energy–thermal, energy-conversion process for achieving high heat output under laser irradiation.

Abstract
Fluorinated graphene (FG), as an emerging member of the graphene derivatives family, has attracted wide attention on account of its excellent performances and underlying applications. The introduction of a fluorine atom, with the strongest electronegativity (3.98), greatly changes the electron distribution of graphene, resulting in a series of unique variations in optical, electronic, magnetic, interfacial properties and so on. Herein, recent advances in the study of FG from synthesis to applications are introduced, and the relationship between its structure and properties is summarized in detail. Especially, the functional chemistry of FG has been thoroughly analyzed in recent years, which has opened a universal route for the functionalization and even multifunctionalization of FG toward various graphene derivatives, which further broadens its applications. Moreover, from a particular angle, the structure engineering of FG such as the distribution pattern of fluorine atoms and the regulation of interlayer structure when advanced nanotechnology gets involved is summarized. Notably, the elaborated structure engineering of FG is the key factor to optimize the corresponding properties for potential applications, and is also an up-to-date research hotspot and future development direction. Finally, perspectives and prospects for the problems and challenges in the study of FG are put forward.

Abstract
In this review article, we have presented a detailed analysis of the recent advancement of quantum mechanical calculations in the applications of the low-dimensional nanomaterials (LDNs) into biomedical fields like biosensors and drug delivery systems development. Biosensors play an essential role for many communities, e.g. law enforcing agencies to sense illicit drugs, medical communities to remove overdosed medications from the human and animal body etc. Besides, drug delivery systems are theoretically being proposed for many years and experimentally found to deliver the drug to the targeted sites by reducing the harmful side effects significantly. In current COVID-19 pandemic, biosensors can play significant roles, e.g. to remove experimental drugs during the human trials if they show any unwanted adverse effect etc. where the drug delivery systems can be potentially applied to reduce the side effects. But before proceeding to these noble and expensive translational research works, advanced theoretical calculations can provide the possible outcomes with considerable accuracy. Hence in this review article, we have analyzed how theoretical calculations can be used to investigate LDNs as potential biosensor devices or drug delivery systems. We have also made a very brief discussion on the properties of biosensors or drug delivery systems which should be investigated for the biomedical applications and how to calculate them theoretically. Finally, we have made a detailed analysis of a large number of recently published research works where theoretical calculations were used to propose different LDNs for bio-sensing and drug delivery applications.

Abstract
The cyclooxygenase isoenzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) have a critical role in inflammation, fever, and pain. In contrary to COX-1, COX-2 is specifically expressed in inflamed tissues. Because of the subtle difference between both enzyme active sites, targeting COX-2 represents an efficient strategy for the development of novel inhibitors against inflammation with fewer side effects. In order to identify potential inhibitors of COX-2, more than 18,000,000 small molecules were retrieved from the ZINC database and virtually screened against it with a gradual increase in the precision through combined multistep docking. The results were sorted according to the rank-by-rank, induced-fit docking, and MM-GBSA evaluation. Subsequently from the final hit list, two top hits along with an approved selective inhibitor (celecoxib) were further investigated by the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The results were indicated that ZINC16934653 and ZINC40484701 demonstrate the highest affinity for the COX-2 binding pocket. Both ligands were bound to the important active-site residues, which are necessary for the correct orientation of inhibitors inside the binding cavity. Their binding free energies were comparable to celecoxib. 100 ns MD simulation is revealed that ZINC40484701 is more preferred in comparison with ZINC16934653 and celecoxib. In addition, non-covalent interactions between the compounds and key residues located in 6 Å distance from the COX-2 binding site show similar patterns of bonding by the reduced density gradient and the independent gradient model. Therefore, ZINC40484701 can be a potential candidate for further in vitro and in vivo analysis after lead-optimization efforts.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

A pH-responsive citric-acid/α-cyclodextrin-functionalized Fe 3O 4 nanoparticles as a nanocarrier for quercetin: An experimental and DFT study. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2019; 109:110597.

Abstract
Developing new nanocarriers and understanding the interactions between the drug and host molecules in the nanocarrier at the molecular level is of importance for future of nanomedicine. In this work, we synthesized and characterized a series of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) functionalized with different organic molecules (citric acid, α-cyclodextrin, and citric acid/α-cyclodextrin composite). It was found that incorporation of citric acid into the α-cyclodextrin had negligible effect on the adsorption efficiency (<5%) of citric acid/α-cyclodextrin functionalized IONPs, while the isotherm adsorption data were well described by the Langmuir isotherm model (qmax = 2.92 mg/g at T = 25 °C and pH = 7). In addition, the developed nanocarrier showed pH-responsive behavior for releasing the quercetin molecules as drug model, where the Korsmeyer-Peppas model could describe the release profile with Fickian diffusion (n < 0.45 for at all pH and temperatures). Then, Density functional theory was applied to calculate the absolute binding energies (ΔEb) of the complexation of quercetin with different host molecules in the developed nanocarriers. The calculated energies are as follow: 1) quercetin and citric acid: ΔEb = -16.58 kcal/mol, 2) quercetin and α-cyclodextrin: ΔEb = -46.98 kcal/mol, and 3) quercetin and citric acid/α-cyclodextrin composite: ΔEb = -40.15 kcal/mol. It was found that quercetin tends to interact with all hosts via formation of hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions. Finally, the cytotoxicity of the as-developed nanocarriers was evaluated using MTT assay and both normal NIH-3T3 and cancereous HeLa cells. The cell viability results showed that the quercetin could be delivered effectively to the HeLa cells due to the acidic environment inside the cells with minimum effect on the viability of NIH-3T3 cells. These results might open a new window to design of stimuli-responsive nanocarriers for drug delivery applications.

Abstract
Drug loaded hydrogels have proven to be versatile controlled-release systems. We report here on heat active hydrogel formation by mixing graphene oxide (GO) or carboxyl enriched reduced graphene oxide (rGO-COOH) with metformin hydrochloride, an insulin sensitizer drug currently used as the first line therapy to treat patients with type 2 diabetes. The driving forces of the gelation process between the graphene-based nanomaterial and metformin are hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions, weakened at elevated temperature. Using the excellent photothermal properties of the graphene matrixes, we demonstrate that these supramolecular drug reservoirs can be photothermally activated for transdermal metformin delivery. A sustained delivery of metformin was achieved using a laser power of 1 W cm-2. In vitro assessment of the key target Glucose-6 Phosphatase (G6P) gene expression using a human hepatocyte model confirmed that metformin activity was unaffected by photothermal activation. In vivo, metformin was detected in mice plasma at 1 h post-activation of the metformin loaded rGO-COOH gel.

Abstract
Fluorinated graphene (FG) showed interesting electrochemical, electronic, and mechanical properties, as well as chemical reactivity for multifarious functionalization of graphene material. This work reported a free radical polymerization and grafting from polymerization of a styrene monomer directly initiated by FG, which simultaneously provided free polymers and functionalized graphene with polymer chains grafted. The FG exhibited an almost comparative initiation efficiency to equivalent commercial initiator azodiisobutyronitrile under similar conditions, resulting in a high yield of free polystyrene (40.9%) with a high molecular weight ( Mn = 114.7 kg/mol). It was demonstrated that FG-triggered polymerization presented some special characteristics, such as a long lifetime of chain radical centers even when the reaction was stopped and insensitivity to oxygen molecules. The mechanistic study indicated that the polymerization was initiated by single-electron transfer reaction between FG and a monomer leading to formation of primary radicals; in addition, FG also played an important role in chain transfer and termination reactions during the polymerization process.
