Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is mostly utilized as a wide range of antitumor anthracycline to treat different cancers. The severe antagonistic impacts of DOX on cardiotoxicity constrain its clinical application. Many mechanisms are involved in cardiac toxicity induced by DOX in the human body. Mitochondria is a central part of fatty acid and glucose metabolism. Thus, impaired mitochondrial metabolism can increase heart failure risk, which can play a vital role in cardiomyocyte mitochondrial dysfunction. This study aimed to assess the possible cardioprotective effect of water-extracted Artemisia argyi (AA) against the side effect of DOX in H9c2 cells and whether these protective effects are mediated through IGF-IIR/Drp1/GATA4 signaling pathways. Although several studies proved that AA extract has benefits for various diseases, its cardiac effects have not yet been identified. The H9c2 cells were exposed to 1 μM to establish a model of cardiac toxicity. The results revealed that water-extracted AA could block the expression of IGF-IIR/calcineurin signaling pathways induced by DOX. Notably, our results also showed that AA treatment markedly attenuated Akt phosphorylation and cleaved caspase 3, and the nuclear translocation markers NFATC3 and p-GATA4. Using actin staining for hypertrophy, we determined that AA can reduce the effect of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and cell size. These findings suggest that water-extracted AA could be a suitable candidate for preventing DOX-induced cardiac damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anthracycline drugs play a fundamental role in breast cancer treatment; however, the cardiotoxicity side effects obscure the advantages of treatment. Curcumin has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we investigated the effect of nanocurcumin supplementation on Doxorubicin induced Cardiotoxicity. In this randomized clinical trial, a week before starting the doxorubicin regimen for breast cancer patients, the control group received placebo and curcumin group received 80 mg daily dosage of nano curcumin capsules for six months. Echocardiography parameter changes before chemotherapy and after six months were evaluated. RESULTS 46 patients were included. Left ventricle (LV) ejection fraction significantly decreased and LV end diastolic volume significantly increased in control group but no significant changes were observed in the curcumin group (LVEF: 2.62 ± 59.35 to 4.23 ± 56.85, p-value: 0.014 vs 59.55 ± 1.91 to 58.46 ± 3.41, p-value:0.135; LVEDV: 77.09 ± 15.33 to 80.65 ± 14.54, p-value:0.023 vs 72.41 ± 15.34 74.00 ± 14.25, p-value: 0.294). Additionally, LVEF, LV end systolic diameter (LVESD), and end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) insignificantly more decreased in control group versus curcumin group (LVEF: 4.13 ± 2.50- vs 3.36 ± 1.08-, p-value: 0.223; LVESD: 0.27 ± 0.06-vs 0.120.45 ±, p-value:0.110; LVEDD: -0.44 ± 0.33 vs 0.070.33 ±, p-value:0.269). Furthermore, symptomatic cardiomyopathy and ejection fraction ratio less than 53% were not observed. The LVEF reduction >15% was observed was also high in the control group, (p-value = 0.020). CONCLUSION This study shows the possible effect of nanocurcumin capsules to reduce the cardiotoxicity of anthracycline chemotherapy medications.

Abstract
Curcumin is a natural compound with a great pharmaceutical potential that involves anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective activity. Unfortunately, its low bioavailability, instability, and poor water solubility significantly deteriorate its clinical use. Many attempts have been made to overcome this issue, and encapsulating curcumin in a hydrogel matrix may improve those properties. Hydrogel formulation is used in many drug delivery forms, including classic types and novel forms such as self-assembly systems or responsive to external factors. Reviewed studies confirmed better properties of hydrogel-stabilized curcumin in comparison to pure compound. The main enhanced characteristics were chemical stability, bioavailability, and water solubility, which enabled these systems to be tested for various diseases. These formulations were evaluated for wound healing properties, effectiveness in treating skin diseases, and anticancer and regenerative activity. Hydrogel formulation significantly improved biopharmaceutical properties, opening the opportunity to finally see curcumin as a clinically approved substance and unravel its therapeutic potential.

Abstract
A life-threatening illness that poses a serious threat to human health is myocardial infarction. It may result in a significant number of myocardial cells dying, dilated left ventricles, dysfunctional heart function, and ultimately cardiac failure. Based on the development of emerging biomaterials and the lack of clinical treatment methods and cardiac donors for myocardial infarction, hydrogels with good compatibility have been gradually applied to the treatment of myocardial infarction. Specifically, based on the three processes of pathophysiology of myocardial infarction, we summarized various types of hydrogels designed for myocardial tissue engineering in recent years, including natural hydrogels, intelligent hydrogels, growth factors, stem cells, and microRNA-loaded hydrogels. In addition, we also describe the heart patch and preparation techniques that promote the repair of MI heart function. Although most of these hydrogels are still in the preclinical research stage and lack of clinical trials, they have great potential for further application in the future. It is expected that this review will improve our knowledge of and offer fresh approaches to treating myocardial infarction.

Abstract
Nanoparticles are fascinating and encouraging carriers for cancer treatment due to their extraordinary properties and potential applications in targeted drug delivery, treatment, and diagnosis. Experimental studies including in vitro and in vivo examinations show that nanoparticles can cause a revolution in different aspects of cancer therapy. Normal tissue toxicity and early and late consequences are the major limitations of cancer therapy by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, the delivery of drugs into tumors or reducing the accumulation of drugs in normal tissues can permit a more satisfactory response of malignancies to therapy with more inferior side effects. Cardiac toxicity is one of the major problems for chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Therefore, several experimental studies have been performed to minimize the degenerative impacts of cancer treatment on the heart and also enhance the influences of radiotherapy and chemotherapy agents in cancers. This review article emphasizes the benefits of nanoparticle-based drug delivery techniques, including minimizing the exposure of the heart to anticancer drugs, enhancing the accumulation of drugs in cancers, and expanding the effectiveness of radiotherapy. The article also discusses the challenges and problems accompanied with nanoparticle-based drug delivery techniques such as toxicity, which need to be addressed through further research. Moreover, the article emphasizes the importance of developing safe and effective nanoparticle-based therapies that can be translated into clinical practice.

Abstract
Cancer therapy-induced heart injury is a significant concern for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and also targeted molecular therapy. The use of these treatments can lead to oxidative stress and cardiomyocyte damage in the heart, which can result in heart failure and other cardiac complications. Experimental studies have revealed that chemotherapy drugs such as doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide can cause severe side effects such as cardiac fibrosis, electrophysiological remodeling, chronic oxidative stress and inflammation, etc., which may increase risk of cardiac disorders and attacks for patients that underwent chemotherapy. Similar consequences may also be observed for patients that undergo radiotherapy for left breast or lung malignancies. Polyphenols, a group of natural compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, have shown the potential in protecting against cancer therapy-induced heart injury. These compounds have been found to reduce oxidative stress, necrosis and apoptosis in the heart, thereby preserving cardiac function. In recent years, nanoparticles loaded with polyphenols have also provided for the delivery of these compounds and increasing their efficacy in different organs. These nanoparticles can improve the bioavailability and efficacy of polyphenols while minimizing their toxicity. This review article summarizes the current understanding of the protective effects of polyphenols and nanoparticles loaded with polyphenols against cancer therapy-induced heart injury. The article discusses the mechanisms by which polyphenols protect the heart, including antioxidant and anti-inflammation abilities. The article also highlights the potential benefits of using nanoparticles for the delivery of polyphenols.

Abstract
The fabrication of biological substitutes to repair, replace, or enhance tissue- and organ-level functions is a long-sought goal of tissue engineering (TE). However, the clinical translation of TE is hindered by several challenges, including the lack of suitable mechanical, chemical, and biological properties in one biomaterial, and the inability to generate large, vascularized tissues with a complex structure of native tissues. Over the past decade, a new generation of "smart" materials has revolutionized the conventional medical field, transforming TE into a more accurate and sophisticated concept. At the vanguard of scientific development, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have garnered extensive attention owing to their significant potential in various biomedical applications owing to their inherent properties such as biocompatibility and rapid remote response to magnetic fields. Therefore, to develop functional tissue replacements, magnetic force-based TE (Mag-TE) has emerged as an alternative to conventional TE strategies, allowing for the fabrication and real-time monitoring of tissues engineered in vitro. This review addresses the recent studies on the use of MNPs for TE, emphasizing the in vitro, in vivo, and clinical applications. Future perspectives of Mag-TE in the fields of TE and regenerative medicine are also discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Doxorubicin (DOX)-induced neurotoxicity is widely reported in previous studies. Oxidative stress has been validated as a critical event involved in DOX-induced neurotoxicity. As a selective autophagy adaptor protein, p62 is reported to regulate Keap1-Nrf2-ARE antioxidant pathway in response to oxidative stress. Curcumin (CUR) relieves depressive-like state through the mitigation of oxidative stress and the activation of Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway. However, the exact mechanism of CUR in alleviating DOX-induced neurotoxicity is still unknown. MATERIALS AND METHODS The rats were randomly divided into three groups: control group, DOX group, and DOX + CUR group. At the end of 3 weeks, the behavior tests as sucrose preference test (SPT), forced swimming test (FST), and novelty-suppressed feeding test (NSFT) were performed to assess anxiety- and depression-like behaviors. The rats were sacrificed after behavior tests, and the brain tissues were collected for biochemical analysis. RESULTS It was observed that the administration of CUR could effectively reverse DOX-induced depressive-like behaviors. The exposure of DOX activated autophagy and increased oxidative stress levels, and the administration of CUR could significantly inhibit DOX-induced autophagy and suppress oxidative stress. More importantly, we also found that Keap1-Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway was involved in DOX-induced neurotoxicity and oxidative stress regulated by autophagy. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that CUR could effectively reverse DOX-induced neurotoxicity through suppressing autophagy and mitigating oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress.

Abstract
Since the first report on the pharmacological activity of curcumin in 1949, enormous amounts of research have reported diverse activities for this natural polyphenol found in the dietary spice turmeric. However, curcumin has not yet been used for human application as an approved drug. The clinical translation of curcumin has been hampered due to its low solubility and bioavailability. The improvement in bioavailability and solubility of curcumin can be achieved by its formulation using drug delivery systems. Hydrogels with their biocompatibility and low toxicity effects have shown a substantial impact on the successful formulation of hydrophobic drugs for human clinical trials. This review focuses on hydrogel-based delivery systems for curcumin and describes its applications as anti-cancer as well as wound healing agents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various anticancer drugs are effective therapeutic agents for cancer treatment; however, they cause severe toxicity in body organs. Cardiotoxicity is one of the most critical side effects of these drugs. Based on various findings, turmeric extract has positive effects on cardiac cells. OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate how curcumin as the main component of turmeric may affect chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity. METHOD Database search was performed up to April 2021 using "curcumin OR turmeric OR Curcuma longa" and "chemotherapy-induced cardiac disease," including all their equivalents and similar terms. After screening the total articles obtained from the electronic databases, 25 relevant articles were included in this systematic review. RESULTS The studies demonstrate lower body weight and increased mortality rates due to doxorubicin administration. Besides, cancer therapeutic agents induced various morphological and biochemical abnormalities compared to the non-treated groups. Based on most of the obtained results, curcumin at nontoxic doses can protect the cardiac cells mainly through modulating antioxidant capacity, regulation of cell death, and anti-inflammatory effects. Nevertheless, according to a minority of findings, curcumin increases the susceptibility of the rat cardiomyoblast cell line (H9C2) to apoptosis triggered by doxorubicin. CONCLUSION According to most nonclinical studies, curcumin can have the potential of cardioprotective effects against cardiotoxicity induced by chemotherapy. However, based on limited, contradictory findings demonstrating the function of curcumin in potentiating doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, well-designed studies are needed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of treatment with new formulations of this compound during cancer therapy.

The cardioprotective effects of nano-curcumin against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity: A systematic review. Biofactors 2022; 48:597-610.

Abstract
Although the chemotherapeutic drug, doxorubicin, is commonly used to treat various malignant tumors, its clinical use is restricted because of its toxicity especially cardiotoxicity. The use of curcumin may alleviate some of the doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxic effects. Especially, using the nano-formulation of curcumin can overcome the poor bioavailability of curcumin and enhance its physicochemical properties regarding its efficacy. In this study, we systematically reviewed the potential cardioprotective effects of nano-curcumin against the doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. A systematic search was accomplished based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines for the identification of all relevant articles on "the role of nano-curcumin on doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity" in the electronic databases of Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science up to July 2021. One hundred and sixty-nine articles were screened following a predefined set of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Ten eligible scientific papers were finally included in the present systematic review. The administration of doxorubicin reduced the body and heart weights of mice/rats compared to the control groups. In contrast, the combined treatment of doxorubicin and nano-curcumin increased the body and heart weights of animals compared with the doxorubicin-treated groups alone. Furthermore, doxorubicin could significantly induce the biochemical and histological changes in the cardiac tissue; however, coadministration of nano-curcumin formulation demonstrated a pattern opposite to the doxorubicin-induced changes. The coadministration of nano-curcumin alleviates the doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity through various mechanisms including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic effects. Also, the cardioprotective effect of nano-curcumin formulation against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity was higher than free curcumin.

Abstract
Curcumin, as a vegetative flavonoid, has a protective and therapeutic role in various adverse states such as oxidative stress and inflammation. Remedial properties of this component have been reported in the different chronic diseases including cancers (myeloma, pancreatic, breast, colorectal), vitiligo, psoriasis, neuropathic pains, inflammatory disorders (osteoarthritis, uveitis, ulcerative colitis, Alzheimer), cardiovascular conditions, and diabetes.Cardiovascular disorders include atherosclerosis and various manifestations of atherosclerosis such as stroke, and myocardial infarction (MI) is the leading cause of mortality globally. Studies have shown varying expressions of inflammatory and non-inflammatory chemokines and chemokine receptors in cardiovascular disease, which have been highlighted first in this review. The alteration in chemokines secretion and chemokine receptors has an essential role in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease. Chemokines as cytokines with low molecular weight (8-12 kDa) mediate white blood cell (WBC) chemotactic reactions, vascular cell migration, and proliferation that induce endothelial dysfunction, atherogenesis, and cardiac hypertrophy.Several studies reported that curcumin could be advantageous in the attenuation of cardiovascular diseases via anti-inflammatory effects and redress of chemokine secretion and chemokine receptors. We present these studies with a focus on two chemokines: CXCL8 (IL-8) and CCL2 (chemoattractant protein 1 or MCP-1). Future research will further elucidate the precise potential of curcumin on chemokines in the adjustment of cardiovascular system activity or curcumin chemokine-based therapies.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is one of the most widely used chemotherapy agents; however, its nonselective effect causes cardiotoxicity. Curcumin (Cur), a well known dietary polyphenol, could exert a significant cardioprotective effect, but the biological application of this substance is limited by its chemical insolubility. To overcome this limitation, in this study, we synthesised gold nanoparticles based on Cur (Cur-AuNPs). Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorbance spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were performed for the characterisation of synthesised NPs, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were applied to detect Cur on the surface of AuNPs. Its cytotoxicity effect on H9c2 cells was evaluated using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The biological efficacy of Cur-AuNPs was assessed after acute cardiotoxicity induction in BALB/c mice with DOX injection. The serum biomarkers, myocardial histological changes, and cardiomyocyte apoptosis were then measured. The results revealed that the heart protection by Cur-AuNPs is more effective than Cur alone. Heart protective effect of Cur-AuNPs was evident both in the short-term (24 hours) and long-term (14 days) study. The results of Cur-AuNPs400 after 24 hours of toxicity induction displayed the reduction of the cardiac injury serum biomarkers (LDH, CK-MB, cTnI, ADT, and ALT) and apoptotic proteins (Bax and Caspase-3), as well as increase of Bcl-2 anti-apoptotic proteins without any sign of interfibrillar haemorrhage and intercellular spaces in the heart tissue microscopic images. Our long-term study signifies that Cur-AuNPs400 in DOX-intoxicated mice could successfully inhibit body and heart weight loss in comparison to DOX group.

Abstract
Curcuma longa is very well-known medicinal plant not only in the Asian hemisphere but also known across the globe for its therapeutic and medicinal benefits. The active moiety of Curcuma longa is curcumin and has gained importance in various treatments of various disorders such as antibacterial, antiprotozoal, cancer, obesity, diabetics and wound healing applications. Several techniques had been exploited as reported by researchers for increasing the therapeutic potential and its pharmacological activity. Here, the dictum is the new room for the development of physicochemical, as well as biological, studies for the efficacy in target specificity. Here, we discussed nanoformulation techniques, which lend support to upgrade the characters to the curcumin such as enhancing bioavailability, increasing solubility, modifying metabolisms, and target specificity, prolonged circulation, enhanced permeation. Our manuscript tried to seek the attention of the researcher by framing some solutions of some existing troubleshoots of this bioactive component for enhanced applications and making the formulations feasible at an industrial production scale. This manuscript focuses on recent inventions as well, which can further be implemented at the community level.

Abstract
Considering the high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), the primary cause of death during the last several decades, it is necessary to develop proper strategies for the prevention and treatment of CVDs. Given the excessive side effects of current therapies, alternative therapeutic approaches like medicinal plants and natural products are preferred. Lower toxicity, chemical diversity, cost-effectiveness, and proven therapeutic potentials make natural products superior compared to other products. Nanoformulation methods improve the solubility, bioavailability, circulation time, surface area-to-volume ratio, systemic adverse side effects, and drug delivery efficiency of these medications. This study intended to review the functionality of the most recent nanoformulated medicinal plants and/or natural products against various cardiovascular conditions such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, thrombosis, and myocardial infarction. Literature review revealed that curcumin, quercetin, and resveratrol were the most applied natural products, respectively. Combination therapy, conjugation, or fabrication of nanoparticles and nanocarriers improved the applications and therapeutic efficacy of herbal- or natural-based nanoformulations. In the context of CVDs prevention and/or treatment, available data suggest that natural-based nanoformulations are considerably efficient, alone or in blend with other herbal/synthetic medicines. However, clinical trials are mandatory to elucidate the safety, cardioprotective effect, and mechanism of actions of nanophytomedicines.

Abstract
AIMS Natural products still serves as a hope for some illnesses which modern medicine fails to cure. Many people, either knowing their effects or not, are using these herbal products. Treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF) is yet a complicated clinical challenge and there is need to improve or make new therapeutic targets. Finding new agents for CHF is an important subject in cardiovascular drug research. In this study, we evaluated the effects of ten herbals on treatment of CHF on isoproterenol-induced model. METHODS AND RESULTS Ninety-six male Wistar rats (16 weeks old) were used in 12 groups. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed on the rats for confirmation of CHF model by decreasing ejection fraction. After 4 weeks' treatment, hearts were removed and blood samples were collected in tubes to measure plasma levels of laboratory findings. Our results showed that the mean of ejection fraction in model rats was 51.82 ± 3.49 percent and all of our used natural products could significantly increase the ejection fraction (P < 0.01). The most effective herbals in improving the ejection fraction were Allium sativum (30.69 %), Peganum harmala (26.08 %) and Apium graveolens (24.09 %). The best results in decreasing NT-ProBNP, was obtained from Allium sativum, Peganum harmala and Berberis vulgaris respectively. Our results showed that none of natural products had toxic effect on renal and liver tissues. CONCLUSION Our results showed that Allium sativum, Peganum harmala and Berberis vulgaris could significantly improve cardiac function by improvement of left ventricular remodeling, lowering hs-CRP and NT-ProBNP and echocardiographic indexes without liver or renal side effects.

Abstract
Curcumin (CUR), as a traditional Chinese medicine monomer extracted from the rhizomes of some plants in Ginkgo and Araceae, has shown a wide range of therapeutic and pharmacological activities such as anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation, anti-virus, anti-liver fibrosis, anti-atherosclerosis, and anti-Alzheimer’s disease. However, some issues significantly affect its biological activity, such as low aqueous solubility, physico-chemical instability, poor bioavailability, and low targeting efficacy. In order to further improve its curative effect, numerous efficient drug delivery systems have been carried out. Among them, physicochemical targeting preparations could improve the properties, targeting ability, and biological activity of CUR. Therefore, in this review, CUR carrier systems are discussed that are driven by physicochemical characteristics of the microenvironment (eg, pH variation of tumorous tissues), affected by external influences like magnetic fields and vehicles formulated with thermo-sensitive materials.

Abstract
Many plant-based bioactive compounds have been serving as the origin of drugs since long ago and
many of them have been proven to have medicinal value against various chronic diseases, including, cancer,
arthritis, hepatic diseases, type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. However, their clinical applications have
been limited due to their poor water solubility, stability, low bioavailability and extensive transformation due to
the first-pass metabolism. The applications of nanocarriers have been proven to be able to improve the delivery of
bioactive phytoconstituents, resulting in the enhancement of various pharmacokinetic properties and thereby
increasing the therapeutic value of phytoconstituents. These biocompatible nanocarriers also exert low toxicity to
healthy cells. This review focuses on the uses and applications of different types of nanocarriers to enhance the
delivery of phytoconstituents for the treatment of various chronic diseases, along with comparisons related to
bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy of nano phytoconstituents with native phytoconstituents.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) compromises a group of heart and blood vessels disorders with high impact on human health and wellbeing. Curcumin (CUR) have demonstrated beneficial effects on these group of diseases that represent a global burden with a prevalence that continues increasing progressively. Pre- and clinical studies have demonstrated the CUR effects in CVD through its anti-hypercholesterolemic and anti-atherosclerotic effects and its protective properties against cardiac ischemia and reperfusion. However, the CUR therapeutic limitation is its bioavailability. New CUR nanomedicine formulations are developed to solve this problem. The present article aims to discuss different studies and approaches looking into the promising role of nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems to deliver CUR and its derivatives in CVD treatment, with an emphasis on their formulation properties, experimental evidence, bioactivity, as well as challenges and opportunities in developing these systems.

Abstract
This investigation aims to study the effect of curcumin on the proliferation, cycle arrest, and apoptosis of Epstein-Barr virus- (EBV-) positive nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells. EBV+ NPC cells were subjected to curcumin treatment. The cell viability was evaluated with the CCK-8. Cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry analysis. Expression (protein and mRNA) levels were detected with western blotting and quantitative real-time PCR, respectively. Curcumin efficiently reduced the viability of EBV+ NPC cells. Curcumin induced the cycle arrest of the HONE1 and HK1-EBV cells positive for EBV. Moreover, curcumin treatment promoted the NPC cell apoptosis, via the mitochondria- and death receptor-mediated pathways. Furthermore, curcumin decreased the expression of EBNA1 in the HONE1 and HK1-EBV cells and inhibited the transcriptional level of EBNA1 in the HeLa cells. Curcumin induced EBNA1 degradation via the proteasome-ubiquitin pathway. In addition, curcumin inhibited the proliferation of HONE1 and HK1-EBV cells positive for EBV, probably by decreasing the expression level of EBNA1. In both the HONE1 and HK1-EBV cells, curcumin inhibited the EBV latent and lytic replication. Curcumin could reduce the EBNA1 expression and exert antitumor effects against NPC in vitro.

Abstract
The indiscriminate and excessive use of antibiotics has ultimately led to the emergence of bacterial resistant mutants or superbugs. These superbugs are difficult to control with conventional antibiotics. Disabling quorum sensing (QS), a population-density-dependent cell-to-cell communication process used by bacteria to coordinate the expression of virulence genes and biofilm formation, with dietary phytochemicals is emerging as a non-antibiotic strategy to inhibit bacterial pathogenicity. Although curcumin is an anti-QS agent and its delivery to cells has been a challenge due to poor bioavailability, ZnO/curcumin nanocomposites (ZnC-NCs) were fabricated with enhanced delivery of curcumin inside the bacterial superbug Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 for effective inhibition of its QS and biofilm formation. Sustained release of curcumin from ZnC-NCs was observed where 51% curcumin at pH 7.2 and 83% curcumin at pH 5.5 were released within 48 h. ZnC-NCs also decreased the production of virulence factors and biofilm formation without affecting planktonic cell growth. Both LasR and RhlR QS systems were inhibited by ZnC-NCs. ZnC-NCs were also capable of protecting both mice as well as lung epithelial cells from killing by PAO1. The superoxide anions (O2·-) were also found as key players in suppressing PAO1 QS systems by ZnC-NCs. Overall, ZnC-NCs enhanced curcumin bioavailability for effective inhibition of QS signaling in P. aeruginosa via LasR-RhlR suppression and O2·- generation.

Abstract
Drug delivery nanosystems have been thriving in recent years as a promising application in therapeutics, seeking to solve the lack of specificity of conventional chemotherapy targeting and add further features such as enhanced magnetic resonance imaging, biosensing and hyperthermia. The combination of magnetic nanoparticles and hydrogels introduces a new generation of nanosystems, the magnetogels, which combine the advantages of both nanomaterials, apart from showing interesting properties unobtainable when both systems are separated. The presence of magnetic nanoparticles allows the control and targeting of the nanosystem to a specific location by an externally applied magnetic field gradient. Moreover, the application of an alternating magnetic field (AMF) not only allows therapy through hyperthermia, but also enhances drug delivery and chemotherapeutic desired effects, which combined with the hydrogel specificity, confer a high therapeutic efficiency. Therefore, the present review summarizes the magnetogels properties and critically discusses their current and recent biomedical applications, apart from an outlook on future goals and perspectives.

Abstract
Background Dose-dependent irreversible cardiac toxicity of doxorubicin (DOX) becomes a major obstacle for the clinical use. Nowadays much attention is being paid to combination therapy with DOX and antioxidant agents, which would improve the clinical efficacy by protecting from cardiotoxicity along with the maintained performance as an antitumor drug. With the assistance of nanoscience and polymer engineering, herein a complex polymeric micellar system was developed for co-loading DOX and a premium natural antioxidant curcumin (CUR), and we investigated whether this new formulation for DOX delivery could achieve such a goal. Methods The dually loaded micelles co-encapsulating DOX and CUR (CPMDC) were prepared through thin-film rehydration by using the amphiphilic diblock copolymer monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG)–poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)–N-t-butoxycarbonyl-phenylalanine (BP) synthesized by end-group modification of mPEG–PCL with BP. Quantitative analysis was conducted by HPLC methods for drugs in micelles or biosamples. Molecular dynamics simulation was performed using HyperChem software to illustrate interactions among copolymer and active pharmaceutical ingredients. The safety and antitumor efficacy were evaluated by in vitro viability of H9C2 cells, and tumor growth inhibition in tumor-bearing mice respectively. The protection effects against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity were investigated according to several physiological, histopathological and biochemical markers concerning systemic and cardiac toxicity. Results CPMDC were obtained with favorable physicochemical properties meeting the clinical demand, including uniform particle size, fairly high encapsulation efficiency and drug loadings, as well as good drug release profiles and colloidal stability. The result from molecular dynamics simulation indicated a great impact of the interactions among copolymer and small molecules on the ratiometrical co-encapsulation of both drugs. MTT assay of in vitro H9C2 cells viability demonstrated good safety of the CPMDC formulation, which also showed definite signs of decrease in xenograft tumor growth. The studies on pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution further revealed that DOX delivered by CPMDC could result in prolonged systemic circulation and increased DOX accumulation in tumor but decreased level of the toxic metabolite doxorubicinol in heart tissue compared to free DOX alone or the cocktail combination. Conclusion The findings from present study substantiated that such a complex micellar system codelivering DOX with CUR does produce the effect of killing two birds with one stone via distinctive nanocarrier-modified drug-drug interactions.

Abstract
As one of important biomaterials for localized drug delivery system, chitosan hydrogel still suffer several challenges, including poor mechanical properties, passive drug release behavior and lack of remote stimuli response. To address these challenges, a facile in situ hybridization method was reported for fabricate tough magnetic chitosan hydrogel (MCH), which remotely switched drug release from passive release to pulsatile release under a low frequency alternating magnetic field (LAMF). The in situ hybridization method avoided the aggregation of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in hydrogel, which simultaneously brings 416% and 265% increase in strength and elastic modulus, respectively. The mechanical property enhancement was contributed by the physical crosslinking of in situ synthesized MNPs. When a LAMF with 15 min ON-15 min OFF cycles was applied to MCH, the fraction release showed zigzag shape and pulsatile release behavior with quick response. The cumulative release and fraction release of drug from MCH were improved by 67.2% and 31.9%, respectively. MTT results and cell morphology indicated that the MCH have excellent biocompatibility and no acute adverse effect on MG-63 cells. The developed tough MCH system holds great potential for applications in smart drug release system with noninvasive characteristics and magnetic field stimulated drug release behavior.

Abstract
In the last two decades, targeted therapies have enhanced tumor patient care and treatment success, however, metastatic growth still cannot be stopped efficiently and, therefore, mortality rates remain high. Prevention strategies against formation of metastases are the most promising approach we have, however, due to lack of clinical validation studies, they have not yet entered routine clinical care. In order to smooth the way for efficient prevention, further preclinical and large clinical studies are required. In this context, the underlying molecular mechanisms and factors that lead to metastatic growth have to be explored, and potential preventive agents have to be tested. Thereby, special attention has to be paid to natural bioactive compounds which do not exert major adverse effects, like the plant-derived polyphenol Curcumin, which is known to be a powerful antitumor agent. So far, most of the preclinical studies with Curcumin have focused on its effect on inhibiting tumor cell proliferation and invasion, although, it is known that it also inhibits metastatic spread in vivo. This review discusses the preventive potential of this natural compound not only against tumor onset, but also against formation of metastases.

Abstract
Heart failure is a major public health concern and one of the most common reasons for a cardiac hospital admission. Heart failure may be classified as having a reduced or preserved ejection fraction and its severity is based on the symptom score. Given the aging population, it is predicted that admissions with heart failure will increase. Whilst pharmacological therapy has improved the associated morbidity and mortality, there is a need for additional therapies to improve the clinical outcome as the death rate remains high. Curcumin is a natural product derived from turmeric that appears to have cardiovascular benefit through a number of mechanisms. In this review, we have assessed the mechanisms by which curcumin may exert its effects in different models of heart failure and show that it has promise as a complementary treatment in heart failure.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX)-induced toxicity and resistance are major obstacles in chemotherapeutic approaches. Despite effective in the treatment of numerous malignancies, some clinicians have voiced concern that DOX has the potential to cause debilitating consequences in organ tissues, especially the heart. The mechanisms of toxicity and resistance are respectively related to induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and up-regulation of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter. Curcumin (CUR) with several biological and pharmacological properties is expected to restore DOX-mediated impairments to tissues. This review is intended to address the current knowledge on DOX adverse effects and CUR protective actions in the heart, kidneys, liver, brain, and reproductive organs. Coadministration of CUR and DOX is capable of ameliorating DOX toxicity pertained to antioxidant, apoptosis, autophagy, and mitochondrial permeability.

Abstract
The traditional therapy of cancer has systemic side effects, and many cancers, such as human breast cancer and lung cancer easily metastasize to bones, leading to the formation of secondary tumours. This study was aimed at enhancing the anti-tumour effect of curcumin (CUR) and preventing tumour spread to the bone. A novel multifunctional redox-responsive and CD44 receptor targeting polymer-drug, poly alendronate-hyaluronan-S-S-curcumin copolymer (ALN-oHA-S-S-CUR) based CUR and alendronate (ALN) were synthesized successfully with the disulphide bond linker. The structure of ALN-oHA-S-S-CUR was characterized by 1H-NMR. The nanomedicine had natural anti-tumour drugs (CUR) as the hydrophobic kernel, and targeting CD44 receptor oligosaccharides of hyaluronan (oHA) and other anti-tumour drugs (ALN) as hydrophilic shell, named ALN-oHA-S-S-CUR conjugates, which could self-assemble into micelle-like nano-spheres in water via a dialysis method with hydrodynamic diameters of 179 ± 23 nm. Interestingly, the cur-loaded ALN-oHA-S-S-CUR micelles were stable in PBS but were capable of releasing the drug under the reducing environment. The rate of drug release was proportional to the GSH concentration. The uptake and cytotoxicity of micelles were higher in MDA-MB-231 cells than in MCF-7 cells because of a higher expression of the CD44 receptor in the former cell line. And compared to the cur-loaded oHA-CUR micelles, the cur-loaded ALN-oHA-S-S-CUR micelles had a good cellular uptake in 2D cancer cell and penetrability in 3D cancer cell spheroids. These results indicated the active targeting redox-sensitive micelles were promising as intracellular drug delivery systems for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Nanocapsules (NCS-DOX) with an oily core of selol and a shell of poly(methyl vinyl ether-co-maleic anhydride) covalently conjugated to doxorubicin were developed. These nanocapsules are spherical, with an average hydrodynamic diameter of about 170 nm, and with negative zeta potential. NCS-DOX effectively co-delivered the selol and the doxorubicin into 4T1 cells and changed the intracellular distribution of DOX from the nuclei to the mitochondria. Moreover, a significantly increased cytotoxicity against 4T1 cells was observed, which is suggestive of additive or synergic effect of selol and doxorubicin. In conclusion, PVM/MA nanocapsules are suitable platforms to co-deliver drugs into cancer cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) with hemodynamic is of major concern to anesthesiologists and surgeons in craniotomy surgery. Thus, the management of hemodynamic stability is essential in neuro-anesthesia. This study was performed to investigate the effect of local infiltration of 0.5% ropivacaine on hemodynamic responses in craniotomy patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS 64 ASA class I -II patients, scheduled for elective craniotomies, were enrolled in this prospective randomized double blind placebo controlled study. These patients were randomly divided into the ropivacaine group, who were administered with 0.5% ropivacaine (n = 32), and the placebo group administered with 0.9% normal saline (NaCl) (n = 32). Anesthesia was induced with 3 µg/kg fentanyl, 5 mg/kg thiopental and 0.5 mg/kg atracurium, and was maintained with isoflurane (0.8-1 = MAC) in 50% N2O, 1 mg/kg /30 minutes, 40% oxygen and 0.05 mg/kg /hour fentanyl. Five minutes prior to surgery, 10 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine was injected in the line of skin incision in the ropivacaine group, while 10 mL of normal saline was injected in placebo group. Thereafter, the systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial blood pressures (MABP), and heart rate (HR) were measured before infiltration into the incision area, 30 seconds, 3 minutes, 5, 10, and 30 minutes after infiltration into the scalp. For higher BP and HR, an adjunct 0.5 mcg/kg of fentanyl was prescribed and administered. RESULTS A significant difference was observed for SBP, DBP, MABP and HR, between the two groups at different times during craniotomy (p < 0.05). A significant decrease was observed for SBP, DBP, MABP and HR during craniotomy in 0.5% ropivacaine group as compared with placebo group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Local anesthetic of 0.05% ropivacaine scalp infiltration is effective in clinical usage of regional anesthesia for producing good quality anesthesia, it seems to be a significant choice for management of optimal hemodynamic profile, providing a better hemodynamic stability during craniotomy.
