Oxygen-defect bismuth oxychloride nanosheets for ultrasonic cavitation effect enhanced sonodynamic and second near-infrared photo-induced therapy of breast cancer. Biomaterials 2025; 312:122709. [PMID: 39094521 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2024.122709] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2024] [Revised: 07/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/18/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024]
Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) relies heavily on the presence of oxygen to induce cell death. Its effectiveness is thus diminished in the hypoxic regions of tumor tissue. To address this issue, the exploration of ultrasound-based synergistic treatment modalities has become a significant research focus. Here, we report an ultrasonic cavitation effect enhanced sonodynamic and 1208 nm photo-induced cancer treatment strategy based on thermoelectric/piezoelectric oxygen-defect bismuth oxychloride nanosheets (BNs) to realize the high-performance eradication of tumors. Upon ultrasonic irradiation, the local high temperature and high pressure generated by the ultrasonic cavitation effect combined with the thermoelectric and piezoelectric effects of BNs create a built-in electric field. This facilitates the separation of carriers, increasing their mobility and extending their lifetimes, thereby greatly improving the effectiveness of SDT and NIR-Ⅱ phototherapy on hypoxia. The Tween-20 modified BNs (TBNs) demonstrate ∼88.6 % elimination rate against deep-seated tumor cells under hypoxic conditions. In vivo experiments confirm the excellent antitumor efficacy of TBNs, achieving complete tumor elimination within 10 days with no recurrences. Furthermore, due to the high X-ray attenuation of Bi and excellent NIR-Ⅱ absorption, TBNs enable precise cancer diagnosis through photoacoustic (PA) imaging and computed tomography (CT).

Abstract
Bismuth (Bi)-based computed tomography (CT) imaging contrast agents (CAs) hold significant promise for diagnosing gastrointestinal diseases due to their cost-effectiveness, heightened sensitivity, and commendable biocompatibility. Nevertheless, substantial challenges persist in achieving an easy synthesis process, remarkable water solubility, and effective targeting ability for the potential clinical transformation of Bi-based CAs. Herein, we show Bi drug-inspired ultra-small dextran coated bismuth oxide nanoparticles (Bi2O3-Dex NPs) for targeted CT imaging of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Bi2O3-Dex NPs are synthesized through a simple alkaline precipitation reaction using bismuth salts and dextran as the template. The Bi2O3-Dex NPs exhibit ultra-small size (3.4 nm), exceptional water solubility (over 200 mg mL-1), high Bi content (19.75 %), excellent biocompatibility and demonstrate higher X-ray attenuation capacity compared to clinical iohexol. Bi2O3-Dex NPs not only enable clear visualization of the GI tract outline and intestinal loop structures in CT imaging but also specifically target and accumulate at the inflammatory site in colitis mice after oral administration, facilitating a precise diagnosis and enabling targeted CT imaging of IBD. Our study introduces a novel and clinically promising strategy for synthesizing high-performance Bi2O3-Dex NPs for diagnosing gastrointestinal diseases.

Novel eco-friendly and easily recoverable bismuth-based materials for capturing and removing polyphenols from water. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 369:122365. [PMID: 39232329 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.122365] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2024] [Revised: 08/19/2024] [Accepted: 08/30/2024] [Indexed: 09/06/2024]
Abstract
Olive oil production is one of the most developed Europe's sectors, producing olive oil and undesirable by-products, such as olive mill wastewater (OMWW) and organic waste. OMWW, containing large amounts of compounds (mainly polyphenols, phenols, and tannins), represents a problem. In fact, polyphenols have dual nature: i) antioxidant beneficial properties, useful in many industrial fields, ii) biorefractory character making them harmful in high concentrations. If not properly treated, polyphenols can harm biodiversity, disrupt ecological balance, and degrade water quality, posing risks to both environment and human health. From a circular economy viewpoint, capturing large quantities of polyphenols to reuse and removing their residuals from water is an open challenge. This study proposes, for the first time, a new path beyond the state-of-the-art, combining adsorption and degradation technologies by novel, eco-friendly and easily recoverable bismuth-based materials to capture large amounts of two model polyphenols (gallic acid and 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid), which are difficult to remove by traditional processes, and photodegrade them under solar light. The coupled process gave rise to collect 98% polyphenols, and to rapidly and effectively photodegrade the remaining portion from water.

Abstract
Tantalum (Ta) emerges as a promising element for advanced computed tomography (CT) imaging probes owing to its high X-ray attenuation coefficient and excellent biocompatibility. Nevertheless, the synthesis of renally clear Ta-based imaging probes through simple methods remains a significant challenge. Herein, we introduce a simple and gram-scale approach for the synthesis of renal-clearable Ta nanodots with high water solubility for CT imaging in vivo. The Ta nanodots, coordination polymers, are fabricated via coordination reactions involving Ta(OH)5, citric acid (CA), and hydrogen peroxide. The Ta nanodots exhibit an ultrasmall hydrodynamic diameter (2.8 nm), high water solubility (1.88 g/mL, 688 mg Ta/mL), superior X-ray absorption capacity, gram-scale production capability (>10 g in lab synthesis), renal-clearable ability, and good biocompatibility. The Ta nanodots possess superior CT imaging efficacy across diverse tube voltages, enabling highly sensitive gastrointestinal CT imaging, renal CT imaging, and CT angiography (CTA). Moreover, Ta nanodots maintain robust CT imaging capabilities even at high X-ray energies, and Ta nanodots-based spectral CT achieves metallic artifacts-minimized CTA. The proposed Ta nanodots present substantial potential as a potent CT imaging probe for diagnosing various diseases.

Understanding the variations in degradation pathways and generated by-products of antibiotics in modified TiO 2 and ZnO photodegradation systems: A comprehensive review.

Abstract
This review examines various modification techniques, including metal doping, non-metal doping, multi doping, mixed doping, and the construction of heterojunction photocatalysts, for enhancing the performance of pure TiO2 and ZnO in the photodegradation of antibiotics. The study finds that mixed and multi doping approaches are more effective in improving photodegradation performance compared to single doping. Furthermore, the selection of suitable semiconductors for constructing heterojunction photocatalysts is crucial for achieving an efficient charge carrier separation. The environmental impacts, recent research, and real application of photocatalysis process have been discussed. The review also investigates the impact of operating parameters on the degradation pathways and the generation of by-products for different antibiotics. Additionally, the toxicity of the by-products resulting from the photodegradation of antibiotics using modified ZnO and TiO2 photocatalysts is explored, revealing that these by-products may exhibit higher toxicity than the original antibiotics. Consequently, to enable the widespread implementation of photodegradation systems, researchers should focus on optimizing degradation systems to control the conversion pathways of by-products, developing innovative photoreactors, and evaluating toxicity in real wastewater matrices.

Abstract
Glaucoma is an irreversible blinding eye disease characterized by retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death.Previous studies have demonstrated that protecting mitochondria and activating the CaMKII/CREB signaling pathway can effectively protect RGC and axon. However, currently treatments are often unsatisfactory, and the pathogenesis of glaucoma requires further elucidation. In this study, a ROS-responsive dual drug conjugate (OLN monomer) is first designed that simultaneously bonds nicotinamide and oleic acid. The conjugate self-assembled into nanoparticles (uhOLN-NPs) through the aggregation of multiple micelles and possesses ROS scavenging capability. Then, a polymer with a hypoxic response function is designed, which encapsulates uhOLN-NPs to form nanoparticles with hypoxic and ROS responses (HOLN-NPs). Under hypoxia in RGCs, the azo bond of HOLN-NPs breaks and releases uhOLN-NPs. Meanwhile, under high ROS conditions, the thioketone bond broke, leading to the dissociation of nano-prodrug. The released nicotinamide and oleic acid co-scavenge ROS and activate the CaMKII/CREB pathway, protecting mitochondria in RGCs. HOLN-NPs exhibit a significantly superior protective effect on R28 cells in glutamate models of glaucoma. The accumulation of HOLN-NPs in retinal RGCs lead to significant inhibition of RGC apoptosis and axonal damage in vivo. Notably, HOLN-NPs provide a new therapeutic approach for patients with neurodegenerative disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Helicobacter pylori causes stubborn infections and leads to a variety of stomach disorders, such as peptic ulcer, chronic atrophic gastritis, and gastric cancer. Although antibiotic-based approaches have been widely used against H. pylori, some challenges such as antibiotic resistance are increasing in severity. Therefore, simpler but more effective strategies are needed. AREAS COVERED In this review, basic information on functionalized and non-functionalized micro/nano biomaterials and routes of administration for H. pylori inhibition are provided in an easy-to-understand format. Afterward, in vitro and in vivo studies of some promising bio-platforms including metal-based biomaterials, biopolymers, small-molecule saccharides, and vaccines for H. pylori inhibition are discussed in a holistic manner. EXPERT OPINION Functionalized or non-functionalized micro/nano biomaterials loaded with anti-H. pylori agents can show efficient bactericidal activity with no/slight negative influence on the host gastrointestinal microbiota. However, this claim needs to be substantiated with hard data such as assessment of the biopharmaceutical parameters of anti-H. pylori systems and the measurement of diversity/abundance of bacterial genera in the host gastric/gut microbiota before and after H. pylori eradication.

Abstract
The dense extracellular matrix (ECM) in the tumor microenvironment forms an abnormal physical barrier, which impedes the delivery and penetration of nanomedicines and hinders their therapeutic efficacy. Herein, we synthesize matrix-degrading soft-nanocapsules composed of human serum albumin (HSA) and hyaluronidase (HAase) for overcoming the obstruction of ECM in the tumor microenvironment. The matrix-degrading human serum albumin/hyaluronidase soft-nanocapsules, referred to as HSA/HAase SNCs, possess a uniform diameter, inward hollow structure, and wrinkled morphology. In vitro biocompatibility results indicate that the HSA/HAase SNCs display no adverse effects on the viability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), smooth muscle cells (SMCs), and mouse breast cancer (4T1) cells and do not induce hemolysis towards red blood cells (RBCs). The HSA/HAase SNCs exhibit a 1.4-fold increase in tumor cellular uptake compared to the stiff-counterparts and enhanced penetration in 4T1-, mouse colon carcinoma 26- (CT26-), and mouse pancreatic cancer- (PanO2-) multicellular spheroids. Thanks to the advanced biological properties, a photodynamic platform prepared by loading Ce6 in the HSA/HAase SNCs (HSA/HAase@Ce6) shows improved reactive oxygen species production, a stronger killing effect for cancer cells, and deeper penetration in tumor tissues. In vivo experiments show that HSA/HAase@Ce6 effectively inhibits tumor growth in breast cancer mouse models. RNA-seq analysis of the mice that received the treatment of HSA/HAase@Ce6 shows enrichment of signaling pathways associated with ECM-degradation, which demonstrates that the matrix-degrading nanocapsules overcome the ECM-induced physical barriers in tumors. Overall, the matrix-degrading soft-nanoplatform represents a highly promising strategy to overcome ECM-induced physical barriers and enhance the therapeutic efficacy of nanomedicines.

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.

Abstract
In the context of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) failure, local delivery enables the release of higher concentrations of drugs that can suppress neointimal hyperplasia (NIH) while reducing systemic adverse effects. However, the radiolucency of polymeric delivery systems hinders long-term in vivo surveillance of safety and efficacy. We hypothesize that using a radiopaque perivascular wrap to deliver anti-NIH drugs could enhance AVF maturation. Through electrospinning, we fabricated multifunctional perivascular polycaprolactone (PCL) wraps loaded with bismuth nanoparticles (BiNPs) for enhanced radiologic visibility and drugs that can attenuate NIH─rosuvastatin (Rosu) and rapamycin (Rapa). The following groups were tested on the AVFs of a total of 24 Sprague-Dawley rats with induced chronic kidney disease: control (i.e., without wrap), PCL-Bi (i.e., wrap with BiNPs), PCL-Bi-Rosu, and PCL-Bi-Rapa. We found that BiNPs significantly improved the wraps' radiopacity without affecting biocompatibility. The drug release profiles of Rosu (hydrophilic drug) and Rapa (hydrophobic drug) differed significantly. Rosu demonstrated a burst release followed by gradual tapering over 8 weeks, while Rapa demonstrated a gradual release similar to that of the hydrophobic BiNPs. In vivo investigations revealed that both drug-loaded wraps can reduce vascular stenosis on ultrasonography and histomorphometry, as well as reduce [18F]Fluorodeoxyglucose uptake on positron emission tomography. Immunohistochemical studies revealed that PCL-Bi-Rosu primarily attenuated endothelial dysfunction and hypoxia in the neointimal layer, while PCL-Bi-Rapa modulated hypoxia, inflammation, and cellular proliferation across the whole outflow vein. In summary, the controlled delivery of drugs with different properties and mechanisms of action against NIH through a multifunctional, radiopaque perivascular wrap can improve imaging and histologic parameters of AVF maturation.

Abstract
In this paper, a series of cyclometalated bismuth(III) complexes bearing C,O-bidentate ligands were synthesized and characterized by techniques such as UV-vis, NMR, HRMS, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Meanwhile, their cytotoxicities against various human cell lines, including colon cancer cells (HCT-116), breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231), lung cancer cells (A549), gastric cancer cells (SGC-7901), and normal embryonic kidney cells (HEK-293) were assessed in vitro. Compared with the clinical cisplatin, most of the synthesized complexes possessed significantly higher degrees of anticancer activity and selectivity, giving a selectivity index of up to 71.3. The structure-activity relationship study revealed that the anticancer performance of these bismuth(III) species depends on the factors of coordination environment surrounding the metal center, such as coordination number, coordination bonding strength, lone 6s2 electron pair stereoactivity. The Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining assay results suggested that the coordination environment-dependent cytotoxicity is ascribable to apoptosis. Western blot analysis confirmed the proposal, as evidenced by the down-regulating level of Bcl-2 and the activation of caspase-3. Furthermore, the representative complexes Bi1, Bi4, Bi6, and Bi8 exhibited relatively lower inhibitory efficiency on human ovarian cancer cells (A2780) than on its cisplatin-resistant daughter cells (A2780/cis), thus demonstrating that such compounds are capable of circumventing the cisplatin-induced resistance. This investigation elucidated the excellent anticancer performance of C,O-coordinated bismuth(III) complexes and established the correlation between cytotoxic activity and coordination chemistry, which provides a practical basis for in-depth designing and developing bismuth-based chemotherapeutics.

Abstract
American cutaneous leishmaniasis is a disease caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania. Currently, meglumine antimoniate is the first-choice treatment for the disease. The limited efficacy and high toxicity of the drug results in the necessity to search for new active principles. Nanotechnology is gaining importance in the field, since it can provide better efficacy and lower toxicity of the drugs. The present study aimed to synthesize, characterize, and evaluate the in vitro leishmanicidal and antileukemic activity of bismuth nanoparticles (BiNPs). Promastigotes and amastigotes of L. (V.) guyanensis and L. (L.) amazonensis were exposed to BiNPs. The efficacy of the nanoparticles was determined by measurement of the parasite viability and the percentage of infected cells, while the cytotoxicity was characterized by the colorimetry. BiNPs did not induce cytotoxicity in murine peritoneal macrophages and showed better efficacy in inhibiting promastigotes (IC50 < 0.46 nM) and amastigotes of L. (L.) amazonensis. This is the first report on the leishmanicidal activity of Bi-based materials against L. (V.) guayanensis. BiNPs demonstrated significant cytotoxic activity against K562 and HL60 cells at all evaluated concentrations. While the nanoparticles also showed some cytotoxicity towards non-cancerous Vero cells, the effect was much lower compared to that on cancer cells. Treatment with BiNPs also had a significant effect on inhibiting and reducing colony formation in HL60 cells. These results indicate that bismuth nanoparticles have the potential for an inhibitory effect on the clonal expansion of cancer cells.

Abstract
Defective bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) nanosheets, an artificial nanozyme mimicking haloperoxidase activity (hPOD), show promise as eco-friendly, bactericidal, and antimicrofouling materials by enhancing cytotoxic hypohalous acid production from halides and H2O2. Microscopic and spectroscopic characterization reveals that controlled NaOH (upto X = 250 µL) etching of the nearly inactive non-transition metal chalcogenide Bi2Te3 nanosheets creates controlled defects (d), such as Bi3+species, in d-Bi2Te3-X that induces enhanced hPOD activity. d-Bi2Te3-250 exhibits approximately eight-fold improved hPOD than the as-grown Bi2Te3 nanosheets. The antibacterial activity of d-Bi2Te3-250 nanozymes, studied by bacterial viability, show 1, and 45% viability for Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, respectively, prevalent in marine environments. The hPOD mechanism is confirmed using scavengers, implicating HOBr and singlet oxygen for the effect. The antimicrofouling property of the d-Bi2Te3-250 nanozyme has been studied on Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm in a lab setting by multiple assays, and also on titanium (Ti) plates coated with the nanozyme mixed commercial paint, exposed to seawater in a real setting. All studies, including direct microscopic evidence, exhibit inhibition of microfouling, up to ≈73%, in the presence of nanozymes. This approach showcases that defect engineering can induce antibacterial, and antimicrofouling activity in non-transition metal chalcogenides, offering an inexpensive alternative to noble metals.

Moreover, the application of multimodal imaging in guiding precision tumor treatment can prevent under- or over-treatment, thereby maximizing the benefits for tumor patients. In recent years, several intriguing magneto-optical nanosystems with both magnetic and optical properties have been developed, leading to significant breakthroughs in the field of multimodal imaging and image-guided tumor therapy. These advancements pave the way for precise tumor medicine. This review summarizes various types of magneto-optical nanosystems developed recently and describes their applications as probes for multimodal imaging and agents for image-guided therapeutic interventions. Finally, future research and development prospects of magneto-optical nanosystems are discussed along with an outlook on their further applications in the biomedical field.

Abstract
The rapid advancement of photodynamic therapy (PDT) antibacterial materials has led to promising alternatives to antibiotics for treating bacterial infections. However, antibacterial drugs have poor light absorption and utilization rates, which limits their practical application. Constructing two-dimensional (2D) heterojunctions from materials with matching photophysical properties has emerged as a highly effective strategy for achieving high-efficiency photo-antibacterial performance. Here, we designed and prepared an atom co-sharing Bi/Bi4O5Br2 nanosheet heterojunction by a simple in situ reduction. This heterojunction material combines outstanding biocompatibility with excellent bactericidal efficiency, which exceeded 90 % against Escherichia coli (a Gram-negative bacterium) and Staphylococcus aureus (a Gram-positive bacterium) under visible light irradiation, around nine-fold higher than that with pure Bi4O5Br2 nanosheets. The results suggest that localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of shared Bi atoms on the Bi4O5Br2 nanosheets promotes light utilization and the separation and transfer of photo-generated charges, thus producing more abundant reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can partake in the PDT antibacterial effect. Our study underscores the potential utility of LSPR-enhanced Bi-based nanosheet heterojunctions for safe and efficient PDT to combat bacterial infections.

Abstract
Radiation protection is an essential issue in diagnostic radiology to ensure the safety of patients, healthcare professionals, and the general public. Lead has traditionally been used as a shielding material due to its high atomic number, high density, and effectiveness in attenuating radiation. However, some concerns related to the long-term health effects of toxicity, environmental disease as well as heavy weight of lead have led to the search for alternative lead-free shielding materials. Leadfree multilayered polymer composites and non-lead nano-composite shields have been suggested as effective shielding materials to replace conventional lead-based and single metal shields. Using several elements with high density and atomic number, such as bismuth, barium, gadolinium, and tungsten, offer significant enhancements in the shielding ability of composites. This review focuses on the development and use of lead-free materials for radiation shielding in medical settings. It discusses the drawbacks of traditional lead shielding, such as toxicity, weight, and recycling challenges, and highlights the benefits of lead-free alternatives.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), one of the reactive oxygen species in living beings, serves as a regulator of various cellular processes. However, excessive peroxide concentrations are linked to oxidative stress and promptly disrupt cellular components, leading to several pathological conditions in the body. Moreover, it is extremely reactive and has a limited lifetime; thus, H2O2 sensing remains a prominent focus of research. Enzymatic sensing probes were widely employed to detect H2O2 in the recent past; however, they are susceptible to intrinsic chemical and thermal instabilities, which decrease the reliability and durability of the surface. This research was designed to come up with a feasible solution to this problem. Herein, a novel nonenzymatic peroxidase-mimic three-dimensional (3D) bimetallic nanoflower has been synergistically engineered for quick sensing of H2O2. The sensor platform showed minimal resistance or enhanced charge transfer properties as well as remarkable analytical capability, having a broad linear range between 0.01 and 1 nM and a detection limit of 1.46 ± 0.07 pM. The probe responded to changes in H2O2 concentration in just 2.10 ± 0.02 s, making it a quick sensing platform for H2O2 tracking. This peroxidase-mimic nanozyme probe showed minimal sensitivity to interferants often seen in real-world sample matrices and possessed good recoveries ranging from 92.88 to 99.09% in milk samples. Further, a facile and user-friendly smartphone application (APP) named "HPeroxide-Check" was developed and integrated into the sensor to check the milk adulteration by detecting H2O2. It processes the current output obtained from the sensing interface and provides real-time peroxide concentrations in milk. The entire procedure of fabricating the probe is a single, highly robust step that takes only 10 min and is coupled with a smartphone APP, highlighting the sensor's quick manufacturing and deployment for automated H2O2 monitoring in industrial and point-of-care settings.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have attractive physicochemical properties. A variety of nanomaterials such as inorganic, lipid, polymers, and protein nanoparticles have been widely developed for nanomedicine via chemical conjugation or physical encapsulation of bioactive molecules. Superior to traditional drugs, nanomedicines offer high biocompatibility, good water solubility, long blood circulation times, and tumor-targeting properties. Capitalizing on this, several nanoformulations have already been clinically approved and many others are currently being studied in clinical trials. Despite their undoubtful success, the molecular mechanism of action of the vast majority of nanomedicines remains poorly understood. To tackle this limitation, herein, this review critically discusses the strategy of applying multiomics analysis to study the mechanism of action of nanomedicines, named nanomedomics, including advantages, applications, and future directions. A comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanism could provide valuable insight and therefore foster the development and clinical translation of nanomedicines.

Enhancement of the effect of novel targeted 5-aminolevulinic acid conjugated bismuth oxide nanoparticles-based photodynamic therapy by simultaneous radiotherapy on KB cells. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2024; 46:104025. [PMID: 38403143 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2024.104025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2023] [Revised: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Selective accumulation of photosensitizers into cancerous cells is one of the most important factors affecting photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy. 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is the precursor of a strong photosensitizer, protoporphyrin-IX; but it has poor permeability into the cells. Folate receptors are overexpressed on the surface of many tumor cells. In the present study, folic acid (FA) and 5-ALA conjugated bismuth oxide nanoparticles were synthesized; and used in PDT, radiotherapy (RT), and concurrent PDT & RT against nasopharyngeal carcinoma (KB cell line). METHODS The KB cells were incubated with the synthesized nanoparticles (NPs) for 2 h; then illuminated using a custom-made LED lamp at the light dose of 26 J/cm2. Irradiation of the cells was carried out using X-ray 6 MV (2 Gy); and synergistic effect of the simultaneous RT and PDT treatments was evaluated using fractional product values. Efficacy of the treatments was determined using MTT and Caspase-3 enzyme activity assays. RESULTS Targeting of folic acid receptors enables the selective endocytosis of the conjugated NPs. RT results in the presence of Bi2O3 NPs showed a significant radiosensitizer potential of these NPs. Fractional product values of 1.49±0.05, 1.36±0.06, and 1.05±0.06 obtained in the presence of FA-5-ALA conjugated NPs, 5-ALA conjugated NPs, and in the absence of the NPs, respectively. Therefore, simultaneous RT and PDT in the presence of these conjugated NPs is superior to RT in the presence of the NPs. CONCLUSION Simultaneous PDT and RT in the presence of FA-5-ALA conjugated bismuth oxide NPs can be introduced as a promising therapeutic approach in controlling KB cancer cells.

Abstract
This work introduces an easy method for producing Bi2O3, ZnO, ZnO-Bi2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) by Biebersteinia Multifida extract. Our products have been characterized through the outcomes which recorded with using powder X-ray diffractometry (PXRD), Raman, energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) techniques. The finding of SEM presented porous structure and spherical morphology for Bi2O3 and ZnO NPs, respectively. While FE-SEM image of bimetallic nanoparticles showed both porous and spherical morphologies for them; so that spherical particles of ZnO have sat on the porous structure of Bi2O3 NPs. According to the PXRD results, the crystallite sizes of Bi2O3, ZnO and ZnO-Bi2O3 NPs have been obtained 57.69, 21.93, and 43.42 nm, respectively. Antibacterial performance of NPs has been studied on Staphylococcus epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria, to distinguish the minimum microbial inhibitory concentration (MIC). Antimicrobial outcomes have showed a better effect for ZnO-Bi2O3 NPs. Besides, wondering about the cytotoxic action against cancer cell lines, the MTT results have verified the intense cytotoxic function versus breast cancer cells (MCF-7). According to these observations, obtained products can prosper medical and biological applications.

Abstract
Bacterial infections pose a seriously threat to the safety of the environment and human health. In particular, the emergence of drug-resistant pathogens as a result of antibiotic abuse and high trauma risk has rendered conventional therapeutic techniques insufficient for treating infections by these so-called "superbugs". Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop highly efficient and environmentally-friendly antimicrobial agents. Bismuth-based nanomaterials with unique structures and physicochemical characteristics have attracted considerable attention as promising antimicrobial candidates, with many demonstratingoutstanding antibacterial effects upon being triggered by broad-spectrum light. These nanomaterials have also exhibited satisfactory energy band gaps and electronic density distribution with improved photonic properties for extensive and comprehensive applications after being modified through various engineering methods. This review summarizes the latest research progress made on bismuth-based nanomaterials with different morphologies, structures and compositions as well as the different methods used for their synthesis to meet their rapidly increasing demand, especially for antibacterial applications. Moreover, the future prospects and challenges regarding the application of these nanomaterials are discussed. The aim of this review is to stimulate interest in the development and experimental transformation of novel bismuth-based nanomaterials to expand the arsenal of effective antimicrobials.

Abstract
Phototherapy and sonodynamic therapy (SDT) are widely used for the synergistic treatment of tumors and have received considerable attention. However, an inappropriate tumor microenvironment, including pH, H2O2, oxygen, and glutathione levels, can reduce the therapeutic effects of synergistic phototherapy and SDT. Here, a novel Bi-based soluble microneedle (MN) is designed for the CT imaging of breast tumors and starvation therapy/gas therapy-enhanced phototherapy/SDT. The optimized Bi/BiVO4 Schottky heterojunction serves as the tip of the MN, which not only has excellent photothermal conversion ability and CT contrast properties, but its heterojunction can also avoid the rapid combination of electrons and hole pairs, thereby enhancing the photodynamic/sonodynamic effects. A degradable MN with excellent mechanical properties is fabricated by optimizing the ratios of poly(vinyl alcohol), poly(vinyl pyrrolidone), and sodium hyaluronate. Glucose oxidase (GOx) and diallyl trisulfide are loaded into the MN to achieve tumor starvation and gas therapy, respectively; And the controlled release of GOx and H2S can be achieved under ultrasound or near-infrared laser irradiation. The in vitro and in vivo results demonstrate that this multifunctional MN can achieve high therapeutic efficacy through starvation therapy/gas therapy-enhanced phototherapy/SDT. The designed multifunctional MN provides a prospective approach for synergistic phototherapy and SDT.

Abstract
Treatment of diabetic wounds is a significant clinical challenge due to the massive infections caused by bacteria. In this study, multifunctional glycol chitosan and polydopamine-coated BiO1-x I (GPBO) nanoparticles (NPs) with near-infrared (NIR) photothermal and photocatalytic abilities are prepared. When infection occurs, the local microenvironment becomes acidic, and the pH-switchable GPBO can target the bacteria of the wound site. The NIR-assisted GPBO treatment exhibits anti-bacterial effects with fast response, high efficiency, and long duration to Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus. GPBO achieves excellent photothermal imaging and CT imaging of the mouse subcutaneous abscess model. With the assistance of NIR irradiation, the GPBO promotes the healing of the diabetic wound model with the effects of anti-bacteria, anti-inflammation, the M2 polarization promotion of macrophages, and angiogenesis. This is the first-time report of nano-sized BiO1-x I. The synthesis and selected application for the imaging and targeted therapy of diabetic wounds are presented. This study offers an example of the NP-assisted precise diagnosis and therapy of bacterial infection diseases.

[PMID: 38128318 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2023.122422] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Revised: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is one of the most important diagnosis techniques for various vascular diseases in clinic. However, metallic artifacts caused by metal implants and calcified plaques in more and more patients severely hinder its wide applications. Herein, we propose an improved metallic artifacts-free spectral CTA technique based on renal clearable bismuth chelate (Bi-DTPA dimeglumine) for the first time. Bi-DTPA dimeglumine owns the merits of ultra-simple synthetic process, approximately 100% of yield, large-scale production capability, good biocompatibility, and favorable renal clearable ability. More importantly, Bi-DTPA dimeglumine shows superior contrast-enhanced effect in CTA compared with clinical iohexol at a wide range of X-ray energies especially in higher X-ray energy. In rabbits' model with metallic transplants, Bi-DTPA dimeglumine assisted-spectral CTA can not only effectively mitigate metallic artifacts by reducing beam hardening effect under high X-ray energy, but also enables accurate delineation of vascular structure. Our proposed strategy opens a revolutionary way to solve the bottleneck problem of metallic artifacts in CTA examinations.

A comprehensive review on Moringa oleifera nanoparticles: importance of polyphenols in nanoparticle synthesis, nanoparticle efficacy and their applications. J Nanobiotechnology 2024; 22:71. [PMID: 38373982 PMCID: PMC10877787 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-024-02332-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Moringa oleifera is one of the popular functional foods that has been tremendously exploited for synthesis of a vast majority of metal nanoparticles (NPs). The diverse secondary metabolites present in this plant turn it into a green tool for synthesis of different NPs with various biological activities. In this review, we discussed different types of NPs including silver, gold, titanium oxide, iron oxide, and zinc oxide NPs produced from the extract of different parts of M. oleifera. Different parts of M. oleifera take a role as the reducing, stabilizing, capping agent, and depending on the source of extract, the color of solution changes within NP synthesis. We highlighted the role of polyphenols in the synthesis of NPs among major constituents of M. oleifera extract. The different synthesis methods that could lead to the formation of various sizes and shapes of NPs and play crucial role in biomedical application were critically discussed. We further debated the mechanism of interaction of NPs with various sizes and shapes with the cells, and further their clearance from the body. The application of NPs made from M. oleifera extract as anticancer, antimicrobial, wound healing, and water treatment agent were also discussed. Small NPs show better antimicrobial activity, while they can be easily cleared from the body through the kidney. In contrast, large NPs are taken by the mono nuclear phagocyte system (MPS) cells. In case of shape, the NPs with spherical shape penetrate into the bacteria, and show stronger antibacterial activity compared to the NPs with other shapes. Finally, this review aims to correlate the key characteristics of NPs made from M. oleifera extract, such as size and shape, to their interactions with the cells for designing and engineering them for bio-applications and especially for therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
Here, we demonstrate hydrothermally grown bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) micro flowers decorated nickel foam (NF) for electrochemical detection of melamine in bottled milk samples. The orthorhombic phase of hydrothermally grown Bi2S3is confirmed by the detailed characterization of x-ray diffraction and its high surface area micro flowers-like morphology is investigated via field emission scanning electron microscope. Furthermore, the surface chemical oxidation state and binding energy of Bi2S3/NF micro flowers is analyzed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies. The sensor exhibits a wide linear range of detection from 10 ng l-1to 1 mg l-1and a superior sensitivity of 3.4 mA cm-2to melamine using differential pulse voltammetry technique, with a lower limit of detection (7.1 ng l-1). The as-fabricated sensor is highly selective against interfering species of p-phenylenediamine (PPDA), cyanuric acid (CA), aniline, ascorbic acid, glucose (Glu), and calcium ion (Ca2+). Real-time analysis done in milk by the standard addition method shows an excellent recovery percentage of ̴ 98%. The sensor's electrochemical mechanism studies reveal that the high surface area bismuth sulfide micro flowers surface interacts strongly with melamine molecules through hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces, resulting in a significant change in the sensor's electrical properties while 3D skeletal Nickel foam as a substrate provides stability, enhances its catalytic activity by providing a more number /of active sites and facilitates rapid electron transfer. The work presented here confirms Bi2S3/NF as a high-performance electrode that can be used for the detection of other biomolecules used in clinical diagnosis and biomedical research.

Abstract
Cancer represents a serious disease with significant implications for public health, imposing substantial economic burden and negative societal consequences. Compared to conventional cancer treatments, such as surgery and chemotherapy, energy-based therapies (ET) based on athermal and thermal ablation provide distinct advantages, including minimally invasive procedures and rapid postoperative recovery. Nevertheless, due to the complex pathophysiology of many solid tumors, the therapeutic effectiveness of ET is often limited. Nanotechnology offers unique opportunities by enabling facile material designs, tunable physicochemical properties, and excellent biocompatibility, thereby further augmenting the outcomes of ET. Numerous nanomaterials have demonstrated the ability to overcome intrinsic therapeutic resistance associated with ET, leading to improved antitumor responses. This comprehensive review systematically summarizes the underlying mechanisms of ET-associated resistance (ETR) and highlights representative applications of nanoplatforms used to mitigate ETR. Overall, this review emphasizes the recent advances in the field and presents a detailed account of novel nanomaterial designs in combating ETR, along with efforts aimed at facilitating their clinical translation.

Abstract
Appearing as a new class of functional organic materials, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have aroused a huge wave of interest in versatile fields ever since they were first proposed in 2005. Thanks to but not limited to their ultralight weights, high surface areas, ordered channels, variable functional groups and well-defined crystal structures, the applications of COF-based biomaterials in the fields of drug loading and delivery, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, bioimaging, etc. are comprehensively summarized and introduced. The existing challenges and future prospects for this emerging but hot research direction are also discussed. It is hoped that this review will serve as a guidance for future research on COFs as multifunctional bioplatforms.

Abstract
Traditional therapies have poor accuracy and significant toxic side effects in the process of tumor treatment. The non-traditional treatment methods with high accuracy and efficacy are worth exploring and investigating. Herein, a strategy that enables precise and synergistic therapies of calcium-overload, photodynamic, and photothermal through facile near infrared (NIR) irradiation was carried out base on the injectable and self-healable hydrogel encapsulating indocyanine green (ICG)-loaded and bovine serum albumin (BSA)-modified calcium peroxide (CaO2) nanoparticles (ICG@CaO2-BSA NPs) and bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) nanorods. The hydrogel fabricated through the dynamic Schiff-base bonds between hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCS) and aldehyde-modified Pluronic F127 (F127-CHO) as the delivery substrate for functional substances could adhere and grip tumor tissues due to the adhesion of hydroxyl groups in HPCS and the hydrophobic aggregation caused by thermoresponsiveness of F127-CHO. CaO2 in ICG@CaO2-BSA NPs decomposed in the tumor micro-acidic environment to produce calcium ions (Ca2+) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), while ICG generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) under NIR irradiation, the photothermal effect of Bi2S3 nanorods and ICG under NIR irradiation could increase the temperature of tumor tissues and ultimately achieve precise tumor cell destruction. Therefore, this strategy will provide promising prospects for precise and efficient treatment of tumors.

Abstract
Advanced materials comprising multiple metal alloys have made their way into the market. Trimetal-based nanomaterials (TNMs) are an example of advanced materials which have gained significant traction and are now employed in a wide array of products. It is essential to raise the question if the toxicity of advanced nanomaterials like TNMs differs from the joint effects as manifested by exposure to the single component nanoparticles (NPs). To answer this question, a trimetal-based nanomaterial: bismuth cobalt zinc oxide (BiCoZnO) was tested. This TNM had a mass ratio of 90 % ZnO NPs, 7 % Bi2O3 NPs and 3 % Co3O4 NPs. Nanoparticle-exposed lettuce seedlings (Lactuca sativa L.) showed decreases in relative root elongation (RRE) and biomass production after 21 days of exposure. The 50 % of maximal effective concentration (EC50) value of the TNMs for biomass production was 1.2 mg L-1 when the exposure period was 240 h. This is of the same magnitude as the EC50 values found for ZnO NPs (EC50 = 1.5 mg L-1) and for the mixture of components NPs (MCNPs) which jointly form the TNMs (EC50 = 3.7 mg L-1) after 10 d of exposure. The inhibition of plant root elongation by the TNMs was partially (65 %) attributed to the release of Zn ions, with the actual concentration of released Zn ions being lower in TNMs compared to the actual concentration of Zn ions in case of ZnO NPs. It is therefore to be concluded that the concentration of Zn ions cannot be used as a direct measure to compare the toxicity between traditional and advanced Zn-related nanomaterials. The EC50 values could be assessed within a factor of two; which is helpful when developing advanced alloy nanomaterials and assessing prospective the effects of trimetal-based nanomaterials.

Abstract
The extraordinary and unique properties of persistent luminescent (PerLum) nanostructures like storage of charge carriers, extended afterglow, and some other fascinating characteristics like no need for in-situ excitation, and rechargeable luminescence make such materials a primary candidate in the fields of bio-imaging and therapeutics. Apart from this, due to their extraordinary properties they have also found their place in the fields of anti-counterfeiting, latent fingerprinting (LPF), luminescent markings, photocatalysis, solid-state lighting devices, glow-in-dark toys, etc. Over the past few years, persistent luminescent nanoparticles (PLNPs) have been extensively used for targeted drug delivery, bio-imaging guided photodynamic and photo-thermal therapy, biosensing for cancer detection and subsequent treatment, latent fingerprinting, and anti-counterfeiting owing to their enhanced charge storage ability, in-vitro excitation, increased duration of time between excitation and emission, low tissue absorption, high signal-to-noise ratio, etc. In this review, we have focused on most of the key aspects related to PLNPs, including the different mechanisms leading to such phenomena, key fabrication techniques, properties of hosts and different activators, emission, and excitation characteristics, and important properties of trap states. This review article focuses on recent advances in cancer theranostics with the help of PLNPs. Recent advances in using PLNPs for anti-counterfeiting and latent fingerprinting are also discussed in this review.

Abstract
Radiotherapy is a pivotal method for treating malignant tumors, and enhancing the therapeutic gain ratio of radiotherapy through physical techniques is the direction of modern precision radiotherapy. Due to the inherent physical properties of high-energy radiation, enhancing the therapeutic gain ratio of radiotherapy through radiophysical techniques inevitably encounters challenges. The combination of hyperthermia and radiotherapy can enhance the radiosensitivity of tumor cells, reduce their radioresistance, and holds significant clinical utility in radiotherapy. Multifunctional nanomaterials with excellent biocompatibility and safety have garnered widespread attention in tumor hyperthermia research, demonstrating promising potential. Utilizing nanotechnology as a sensitizing carrier in conjunction with radiotherapy, and high atomic number nanomaterials can also serve independently as radiosensitizing carriers. This synergy between tumor hyperthermia and radiotherapy may overcome many challenges currently limiting tumor radiotherapy, offering new opportunities for its further advancement. In recent years, the continuous progress in the synthesis and design of novel nanomaterials will propel the future development of medical imaging and cancer treatment. This article summarizes the radiosensitizing mechanisms and effects based on gold nanotechnology and provides an overview of the advancements of other nanoparticles (such as bismuth-based nanomaterials, magnetic nanomaterials, selenium nanomaterials, etc.) in the process of radiation therapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) acts as a powerful weapon against infectious diseases for its enormous antimicrobial activity that quickly elicits storms of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Nevertheless, redundant ROS during treatment inevitably bring detriments in revascularization. To address this dilemma, an innovative P-N bio-heterojunction (bio-HJ) material consisting of p-type copper sulfide (p-CuS), n-type bismuth sulfide (n-Bi2 S3 ), and lactate oxidase (LOx) for effective treatment of recalcitrant infectious wounds by promoting angiogenesis is devised. LOx exhausts lactic acid accumulated in infection environment and converts it to hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ), which subsequently yields bactericidal hydroxyl radicals (·OH) via Fenton-like reactions. Ultimately, the P-N bio-HJs exert synergistic photothermal, photodynamic, and chemodynamic effects for rapid bacterial annihilation. Moreover, in vitro and RNA-seq analyses reveal that the crafted bio-HJs dramatically expedite the proliferation of L929 cells and promote angiogenesis by up-regulating angiogenic gene expression in hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) signaling pathway, which may ascribe to the evolution of H2 S in response to the infection microenvironment. Critically, results of in vivo experiments have authenticated that the bio-HJs significantly boost healing rates of full-thickness wounds by slaughtering bacteria, elevating angiogenesis, and promoting cytothesis. As envisioned, this work furnishes a novel tactic for the effective treatment of bacteria-invaded wound using H2 S-liberating P-N bio-HJs.

ACS NANO 2023; 17:18979-18999. [PMID: 37702397 PMCID: PMC10569106 DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.3c04564] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/14/2023]
Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) have gained considerable attention as potential alternatives to conventional cancer treatments. However, these approaches remain limited by low solubility, poor stability, and inefficient targeting of many common photosensitizers (PSs) and photothermal agents (PTAs). To overcome the aforementioned limitations, we engineered biocompatible and biodegradable tumor-targeted upconversion nanospheres with imaging capabilities. The multifunctional nanospheres consist of a sodium yttrium fluoride core doped with lanthanides (ytterbium, erbium, and gadolinium) and the PTA bismuth selenide (NaYF4:Yb/Er/Gd,Bi2Se3) enveloped in a mesoporous silica shell that encapsulates a PS, chlorin e6 (Ce6), within its pores. NaYF4:Yb/Er converts deeply penetrating near-infrared (NIR) light to visible light, which excites Ce6 to generate cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), while Bi2Se3 efficiently converts absorbed NIR light to heat. Additionally, Gd enables magnetic resonance imaging of the nanospheres. The mesoporous silica shell is coated with DPPC/cholesterol/DSPE-PEG to retain the encapsulated Ce6 and prevent serum protein adsorption and macrophage recognition that hinder tumor targeting. Finally, the coat is conjugated to the acidity-triggered rational membrane (ATRAM) peptide, which promotes specific and efficient internalization into malignant cells in the mildly acidic microenvironment of tumors. The nanospheres facilitated tumor magnetic resonance and thermal and fluorescence imaging and exhibited potent NIR laser light-induced anticancer effects in vitro and in vivo via combined ROS production and localized hyperthermia, with negligible toxicity to healthy tissue, hence markedly extending survival. Our results demonstrate that the ATRAM-functionalized, lipid/PEG-coated upconversion mesoporous silica nanospheres (ALUMSNs) offer multimodal diagnostic imaging and targeted combinatorial cancer therapy.

Abstract
The intrinsic high X-ray attenuation and insignificant biological toxicity of Bi-based nanomaterials make them a category of advanced materials in oncology. Bi-based two-dimensional nanomaterials have gained rapid development in cancer diagnosis and treatment owing to their adjustable bandgap structure, high specific surface area and strong NIR absorption. In addition to the single functional cancer diagnosis and treatment modalities, Bi-based two-dimensional nanomaterials have been certified for accomplishing multi-imaging guided multifunctional synergistic cancer therapies. In this review, we summarize the recent progress including controllable synthesis, defect engineering and surface modifications of Bi-based two-dimensional nanomaterials for cancer diagnosis and treatment in the past ten years. Their medical applications in cancer imaging and therapies are also presented. Finally, we discuss the potential challenges and future research priorities of Bi-based two-dimensional nanomaterials.

Abstract
Thiol-capped metal nanoparticles have two constituents: an inorganic metal and an organic molecule as a shell. Both characters are inbuilt in the structure of the metal thiolate. Herein, we have investigated bismuth dodecanethiolate as a precursor for the synthesis of dodecanethiol-capped bismuth nanoparticles (Bi NPs) by a solid-state grinding method. By using sodium borohydride and bismuth dodecanethiolate, crystalline bismuth nanoparticles are synthesized in a solvent-free environment at room temperature (24 ± 4 °C). Bi NPs are tested for catalytic activity by reducing 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) with an excess of NaBH4. Dodecanethiol-capped bismuth nanoparticles exhibit an efficient reduction of 4-NP to 4-AP within 12 min. Additionally, these nanoparticles remain catalytically active for up to three cycles.

Abstract
Bismuth-based drugs have been used primarily to treat ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori and other gastrointestinal ailments. Combined with antibiotics, these drugs also possess synergistic activity, making them ideal for multiple therapy regimens and overcoming bacterial resistance. Compounds based on bismuth have a low cost, are safe for human use, and some of them are also effective against tumoral cells, leishmaniasis, fungi, and viruses. However, these compounds have limited bioavailability in physiological environments. As a result, there is a growing interest in developing new bismuth compounds and approaches to overcome this challenge. Considering the beneficial properties of bismuth and the importance of discovering new drugs, this review focused on the last decade's updates involving bismuth compounds, especially those with potent activity and low toxicity, desirable characteristics for developing new drugs. In addition, bismuth-based compounds with dual activity were also highlighted, as well as their modes of action and structure-activity relationship, among other relevant discoveries. In this way, we hope this review provides a fertile ground for rationalizing new bismuth-based drugs.

Abstract
Although rapid industrialization has made life easier for humans, several associated issues are emerging and harming the environment. Wastewater is regarded as one of the key problems of the 21st century due to its massive production every year and requires immediate attention from all stakeholders to protect the environment. Since the introduction of nanotechnology, bismuth-based nanomaterials have been used in variety of applications. Various techniques, such as hydrothermal, solvo-thermal and biosynthesis, have been reported for synthesizing these materials, etc. Among these, biosynthesis is eco-friendly, cost-effective, and less toxic than conventional chemical methods. The prime focuses of this review are to elaborate biosynthesis of bismuth-based nanomaterials via bio-synthetic agents such as plant, bacteria and fungi and their application in wastewater treatment as anti-pathogen/photocatalyst for pollutant degradation. Besides this, future perspectives have been presented for the upcoming research in this field, along with concluding remarks.

Abstract
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has extensive bioanalytical applications in molecular diagnostics and genomic research studies for rapid detection and precise genomic amplification. Routine integrations for analytical workflow indicate certain limitations, including low specificity, efficiency, and sensitivity in conventional PCR, particularly towards amplifying high guanine-cytosine (GC) content. Further, there are many ways to enhance the reaction, for example, using different PCR strategies such as hot-start/touchdown PCR or adding some special modifications or additives such as organic solvents or compatible solutes, which can improve PCR yield. Due to the widespread use of bismuth-based materials in biomedicine, which have not yet been used for PCR optimization, this attracts our attention. In this study, two bismuth-based materials that are inexpensive and readily available were used to optimize GC-rich PCR. The results demonstrated that ammonium bismuth citrate and bismuth subcarbonate effectively enhanced PCR amplification of the GNAS1 promoter region (∼84% GC) and APOE (75.5% GC) gene of Homo sapiens mediated by Ex Taq DNA polymerase within the appropriate concentration range. Combining DMSO and glycerol additives was critical in obtaining the target amplicons. Thus, the solvents mixed with 3% DMSO and 5% glycerol were used in bismuth-based materials. That allowed for better dispersion of bismuth subcarbonate. As for the enhanced mechanisms, the surface interaction of PCR components, including Taq polymerase, primer, and products with bismuth-based materials, was maybe the main reason. The addition of materials can reduce the melting temperature (Tm), adsorb polymerase and modulate the amount of active polymerase in PCR, facilize the dissociation of DNA products, and enhance the specificity and efficiency of PCR. This work provided a class of candidate enhancers for PCR, deepened our understanding of the enhancement mechanisms of PCR, and also explored a new application field for bismuth-based materials.

Abstract
To resolve poor accumulation caused by systemic administration, injectable and responsive hydrogels are the prospective drug delivery systems for localized tumor treatment, owning to negligible invasiveness and accurate administration. Herein, an injectable hydrogel, based on dopamine (DA) crosslinked hyaluronic acid and Bi2Se3 nanosheets (NSs) loading with doxorubicin (DOX) coated with polydopamine (Bi2Se3-DOX@PDA), was developed for synergistic chem-photothermal cancer therapy. The ultrathin functional Bi2Se3-DOX@PDA NSs could be responsive to the weak acidic condition and photothermal effect under NIR laser irradiation, achieving controlled release of DOX. Moreover, nanocomposite hydrogel based on hyaluronic acid matrix could be precisely administrated through intratumoral injection since its injectability and self-healing capacity, remaining at injected sites for at least 12 days. Furthermore, the excellent therapeutics effect of Bi2Se3-DOX@PDA nanocomposite hydrogel was demonstrated on 4 T1 xenograft tumor with outstanding injectability and negligible systemic side-effect. In short, the construction of Bi2Se3-DOX@PDA nanocomposite hydrogel paves a prospective path for local treatment of cancers.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) have unique physicochemical properties that are useful for a broad range of biomedical and industrial applications; nevertheless, increasing concern exists about their biosafety. This review aims to focus on the implications of nanoparticles in cellular metabolism and their outcomes. In particular, some NPs have the ability to modify glucose and lipid metabolism, and this feature is especially interesting to treat diabetes and obesity and to target cancer cells. However, the lack of specificity to reach target cells and the toxicological evaluation of nontargeted cells can potentially induce detrimental side effects, closely related to inflammation and oxidative stress. Therefore, identifying the metabolic alterations caused by NPs, independent of their application, is highly needed. To our knowledge, this increase would lead to the improvement and safer use with a reduced toxicity, increasing the number of available NPs for diagnosis and treatment of human diseases.

Abstract
The influence of metal and metal oxide nanomaterials on various fields since their discovery has been remarkable. They have unique properties, and therefore, have been employed in specific applications, including biomedicine. However, their potential health risks cannot be ignored. Several studies have shown that exposure to metal and metal oxide nanoparticles can lead to immunotoxicity. Different types of metals and metal oxide nanoparticles may have a negative impact on the immune system through various mechanisms, such as inflammation, oxidative stress, autophagy, and apoptosis. As an essential factor in determining the function and fate of immune cells, immunometabolism may also be an essential target for these nanoparticles to exert immunotoxic effects in vivo. In addition, the biodegradation and metabolic outcomes of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles are also important considerations in assessing their immunotoxic effects. Herein, we focus on the cellular mechanism of the immunotoxic effects and toxic effects of different types of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, as well as the metabolism and outcomes of these nanoparticles in vivo. Also, we discuss the relationship between the possible regulatory effect of nanoparticles on immunometabolism and their immunotoxic effects. Finally, we present perspectives on the future research and development direction of metal and metal oxide nanomaterials to promote scientific research on the health risks of nanomaterials and reduce their adverse effects on human health.

Abstract
Bismuth (Bi) combinations have been utilized for the treatment of bacterial infections. In addition, these metal compounds are most frequently utilized for treating gastrointestinal diseases. Usually, Bi is found as bismuthinite (Bi sulfide), bismite (Bi oxide), and bismuthite (Bi carbonate). Newly, Bi nanoparticles (BiNP) were produced for CT imaging or photothermal treatment and nanocarriers for medicine transfer. Further benefits, such as increased biocompatibility and specific surface area, are also seen in regular-size BiNPs. Low toxicity and ecologically favorable attributes have generated interest in BiNPs for biomedical approaches. Moreover, BiNPs offer an option for treating multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria because they communicate directly with the bacterial cell wall, induce adaptive and inherent immune reactions, generate reactive oxygen compounds, limit biofilm production, and stimulate intracellular impacts. In addition, BiNPs in amalgamation with X-ray therapy as well as have the capability to treat MDR bacteria. BiNPs as photothermal agents can realize the actual antibacterial through continuous efforts of investigators in the near future. In this article, we summarized the properties of BiNPs, and different preparation methods, also reviewed the latest advances in the BiNPs' performance and their therapeutic effects on various bacterial infections, such as Helicobacter pylori, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli.

Abstract
A new bismuth-organic compound containing 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and 2,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (PDC) was synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure consists of 2-D {Bi(phen)(HPDC)(PDC)}n sheets wherein the PDC ligands bridge metal centers via three unique bonding modes. The 2-D sheets are further connected through strong hydrogen-bonding interactions to form a 3-D supramolecular network. The parent compound displayed yellow photoluminescence in the solid state at room temperature. Doping studies were undertaken to incorporate Eu3+ into the structure, statistically replacing Bi3+ in small quantities (1, 5, and 10 mol % Eu3+ relative to Bi3+). All three compounds displayed characteristic Eu3+ emission, with total quantum yields as high as 16.0% and sensitization efficiencies between 0.21 and 0.37 depending on the Eu3+ doping percentage.

Abstract
Radiosensitizers are compounds or nanostructures, which can improve the efficiency of ionizing radiation to kill cells. Radiosensitization increases the susceptibility of cancer cells to radiation-induced killing, while simultaneously reducing the potentially damaging effect on the cellular structure and function of the surrounding healthy tissues. Therefore, radiosensitizers are therapeutic agents used to boost the effectiveness of radiation treatment. The complexity and heterogeneity of cancer, and the multifactorial nature of its pathophysiology has led to many approaches to treatment. The effectiveness of each approach has been proven to some extent, but no definitive treatment to eradicate cancer has been discovered. The current review discusses a broad range of nano-radiosensitizers, summarizing possible combinations of radiosensitizing NPs with several other types of cancer therapy options, focusing on the benefits and drawbacks, challenges, and future prospects.

Abstract
The incorporation of additional functional groups such as bismuth nanoparticles (Bi NPs) into magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) is critical for their properties modification, stabilization, and multi-functionalization in biomedical applications. In this work, ultrasound has rapidly modified iron oxide (Fe3O4) NPs via incorporating their surface through coating with Bi NPs, creating unique Fe3O4@Bi composite NPs. The Fe3O4@Bi nanocomposites were synthesized and statistically optimized using an ultrasonic probe and response surface methodology (RSM). A face-centered central composite design (FCCD) investigated the effect of preparation settings on the stability, size, and size distribution of the nanocomposite. Based on the numerical desirability function, the optimized preparation parameters that influenced the responses were determined to be 40 ml, 5 ml, and 12 min for Bi concentration, sodium borohydride (SBH) concentration, and sonication time, respectively. It was found that the sonication time was the most influential factor in determining the responses. The predicted values for the zeta potential, hydrodynamic size, and polydispersity index (PDI) at the highest desirability solution (100%) were -45 mV, 122 nm, and 0.257, while their experimental values at the optimal preparation conditions were -47.1 mV, 125 nm, and 0.281, respectively. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) result shows that the ultrasound efficiently stabilized and functionalized Fe3O4NPs following modification to Fe3O4@Bi NPs, improved the zeta potential value from -33.5 to -47.1 mV, but increased the hydrodynamic size from 98 to 125 nm. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX) validated the elemental compositions and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the presence of Sumac (Rhus coriaria) compounds in the composition of the nanocomposites. The stability and biocompatibility of Fe3O4@Bi NPs were improved by using the extract solution of the Sumacedible plant. Other physicochemical results revealed that Fe3O4NPs and Fe3O4@Bi NPs were crystalline, semi-spherical, and monodisperse with average particle sizes of 11.7 nm and 19.5 nm, while their saturation magnetization (Ms) values were found to be 132.33 emu/g and 92.192 emu/g, respectively. In vitro cytotoxicity of Fe3O4@Bi NPs on the HEK-293 cells was dose- and time-dependent. Based on our findings, the sonochemical approach efficiently produced (and RSM accurately optimized) an extremely stable, homogeneous, and biocompatible Fe3O4@Bi NPs with multifunctional potential for various biomedical applications.

Abstract
Although it has no known biochemical role in living organisms, bismuth has been used to treat syphilis, diarrhea, gastritis and colitis for almost a century due to its nontoxic nature to mammalian cells. When prepared via a top-down sonication route from a bulk sample, bismuth subcarbonate (BiO)2CO3 nanoparticles (NPs) with an average size of 5.35 ± 0.82 nm exhibit broad-spectrum potent antibacterial activity against both the gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria including methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (DSSA), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), drug-susceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa (DSPA) and multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (DRPA). Specifically, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) are 2.0 µg/mL against DSSA and MRSA and 0.75 µg/mL against DSPA and DRPA. In sharp contrast to ciprofloxacin, AgNPs and meropenem, (BiO)2CO3 NPs show no sign of developing Bi-resistant phenotypes after 30 consecutive passages. On the other hand, such NPs can readily overcome the resistance to ciprofloxacin, AgNPs and meropenem in DSPA. Finally, the combination of (BiO)2CO3 NPs and meropenem shows a synergistic effect with the fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) index of 0.45.
