Abstract
Dental caries is a chronic, progressive disease caused by plaque, influenced by multiple factors and can damage the hard tissues of the teeth. In severe cases, it can also lead to the onset and development of other oral diseases, seriously affecting patients' quality of life. The creation of effective biomaterials for the prevention and treatment of dental caries has become one of the relentless goals of many researchers, with a focus on inhibiting the production of cariogenic plaque and retaining beneficial bacteria, guiding and promoting the reconstruction of dental hard tissues, and delaying the progression of existing caries. Chitosan is a natural cationic polymer extracted from the shells of crustaceans and shellfish. Since its discovery, chitosan has shown to have various biological functions such as antibacterial, biomimetic mineralization, drug delivery, etc., making it one of the most promising biopolymers for new caries prevention and materials of prostheses. Therefore, this article provides an overview of the anti-caries applications of chitosan, which mainly covers the basic research on the application of chitosan in caries prevention and treatment since 2010, with a focus on categorizing and summarizing the following characteristics of chitosan as a caries prevention material, including its antibacterial effect, biomimetic mineralization effect and delivery ability of caries prevention drugs and vaccines. It also explores the limitations of current research on chitosan as a caries prevention biomaterial and the difficulties that need to be focused on and overcome in the future to provide theoretical reference for the clinical implementation of chitosan as a caries prevention biomaterial.

Abstract
To date, available review papers related to the electrospinning of biopolymers including polysaccharides for wound healing were focused on summarizing the process conditions for two candidates, namely chitosan and hyaluronic acid. However, most reviews lack the discussion of problems of hyaluronan and chitosan electrospun nanofibers for wound dressing applications. For this reason, it is required to update information by providing a comprehensive overview of all factors which may play a role in the electrospinning of hyaluronic acid and chitosan for applications of wound dressings. This review summarizes the fabricated chitosan and hyaluronic acid electrospun nanofibers as wound dressings in the last years, including methods of preparations of nanofibers and challenges for the electrospinning of both pure chitosan and hyaluronic acid and strategies how to overcome the existing difficulties. Moreover, in this review the biological roles and mechanisms of chitosan and hyaluronic acid in the wound healing process are explained including the advantages of nanofibers for ideal wound management using the common solvents, copolymers enhancing spinning process, and the most biologically active incorporated substances thereby providing drug delivery in wound healing.

Abstract
The development of composite films with enhanced antibacterial and dye decolorization properties for water treatment has attracted a great attention. In this study, nickel oxide/chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol nanocomposite films containing different weight percentage of NiO nanoparticles with a dual functionality, removal of toxic dye and antibacterial properties, were prepared. Methyl orange (MO) was selected as a target pollutant. Additionally, the antimicrobial activity of the films against two Gram positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus) and two Gram negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Salmonella Typhimurium) was studied. The prepared samples were characterized by XRD, HRTEM, FESEM, ATR-FTIR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and dielectric measurements. The morphological examination proved that the nanocomposite film has more porous structure compared to the unmodified chitosan/PVA. The antimicrobial tests indicated that the modified chitosan/PVA films have higher activity than pure chitosan/PVA toward all the tested pathogenic bacteria. The impact of the NiO amount (0.5, 1.5, 3, and 5 wt%), contact time (0-150 min), and adsorbent dose (40, 80, and 100 mg) on the removal of MO was studied. Dye adsorption results proved that the incorporation of 5 wt% NiO led to more than 2 fold increase in the dye removal percentage in comparison with the unmodified PVA/chitosan film.

Antivirulence Properties of a Low-Molecular-Weight Quaternized Chitosan Derivative against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Microorganisms 2021; 9:912. [PMID: 33923269 PMCID: PMC8145479 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms9050912] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2021] [Revised: 04/20/2021] [Accepted: 04/21/2021] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
The co-occurrence of increasing rates of resistance to current antibiotics and the paucity of novel antibiotics pose major challenges for the treatment of bacterial infections. In this scenario, treatments targeting bacterial virulence have gained considerable interest as they are expected to exert a weaker selection for resistance than conventional antibiotics. In a previous study, we demonstrated that a low-molecular-weight quaternized chitosan derivative, named QAL, displays antibiofilm activity against the major pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa at subinhibitory concentrations. The aim of this study was to investigate whether QAL was able to inhibit the production of relevant virulence factors of P. aeruginosa. When tested in vitro at subinhibiting concentrations (0.31-0.62 mg/mL), QAL markedly reduced the production of pyocyanin, pyoverdin, proteases, and LasA, as well as inhibited the swarming motility of three out of four P. aeruginosa strains tested. Furthermore, quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) analyses demonstrated that expression of lasI and rhlI, two QS-related genes, was highly downregulated in a representative P. aeruginosa strain. Confocal scanning laser microscopy analysis suggested that FITC-labelled QAL accumulates intracellularly following incubation with P. aeruginosa. In contrast, the reduced production of virulence factors was not evidenced when QAL was used as the main polymeric component of polyelectrolyte-based nanoparticles. Additionally, combination of sub-MIC concentrations of QAL and tobramycin significantly reduced biofilm formation of P. aeruginosa, likely due to a synergistic activity towards planktonic bacteria. Overall, the results obtained demonstrated an antivirulence activity of QAL, possibly due to polymer intracellular localization and QS-inhibition, and its ability to inhibit P. aeruginosa growth synergizing with tobramycin.
