Abstract
To enhance the total antithrombogenicity of poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK), we examined a combination of two methodologies for the suppression of activation in both the platelet and coagulation systems. A random copolymer (PMT) composed of a zwitterionic 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) unit and a cationic 2-methacryloyloxyethyl trimethylammonium chloride (TMAEMA) unit was grafted onto the PEEK surface by photoinduced self-initiated graft polymerization of the PEEK substrate (PMTx-g-PEEK). Then, negatively charged heparin was immobilized by ionic binding with TMAEMA units (Hep/PMTx-g-PEEK). The TMAEMA unit composition on grafted PMT altered the surface ζ-potentials of the PEEK substrates. Amounts of immobilized heparin depended on the ζ-potential. The concentration of heparin became constant on the sample surface where the TMAEMA unit composition was 30% or more, and was approximately 2.0 μg/cm2. The Hep/PMTx-g-PEEK with a TMAEMA unit composition of 50% showed not only decreased platelet adhesion, but also a 4-fold extension of the blood coagulation time of the poly(MPC)-g-PEEK substrate. The poly(MPC) layer could inhibit platelet adhesion and activation, resulting in surface antithrombogenic properties. Additionally, heparin released from the Hep/PMTx-g-PEEK prevented activation of the coagulation system in whole blood. Therefore, the combination of these antithrombogenic methodologies was promising for prolonging the blood coagulation period of the materials.

Abstract
Surface wettability regulation plays a crucial role in antifouling and related applications. For regulating surface wettability, one of the effective approaches is to modulate the surface charge distribution. Herein, we report a theoretical study for unraveling the mechanistic relation between surface charge distribution and ionic substrate wettability. Specifically, acetonitrile liquids at ambient condition in contact with various ionic substrates are considered. At different surface charge distributions, the interfacial thermodynamic properties are investigated by means of molecular density functional theory. We find that the variation of the spatial interval among the discrete charges strongly alters the substrate-acetonitrile interaction and leads to an oscillation in the interfacial tension, indicating that the substrate can be tuned from a solvophobic one to a solvophilic one. This trend can be further enhanced by increasing the charge quantity. The underlying mechanisms are extensively discussed and expatiated. Our work provides theoretical guidance to engineer and regulate surface wettability.

Abstract
Polysulfone (PSf) membranes that covalently conjugated with aspartic acid (ASP-PSf) were prepared and analyzed for hemocompatability. Compared to PSf or other types of surface-modified PSf membranes, the ASP-PSf membranes had a reduced ability to adsorb protein from either a plasma solution or a mixed solution of albumin, globulin and fibrinogen. This appears to be due to the creation of a hydrophilic surface by the aspartic acid zwitterion immobilized on the ASP-PSf membranes. Furthermore, the analyses of membrane protein adsorption showed that a mixed protein solution recapitulates the cooperative adsorption of proteins that occurs in plasma. We also found that the number of adhering platelets was the lowest on the ASP-PSf membranes and, in general, that platelet adhesion decreased in parallel with fibrinogen adsorption. In summary, aspartic acid immobilized on the ASP-PSf membranes, which have zwitterions with a net zero charge, effectively contributes to the hydrophilic and hemocompatible sites on the surface of the hydrophobic PSf membranes.

Abstract
This article provides an overview of principles and barriers relevant to intracellular drug and gene transport, accumulation and retention (collectively called as drug delivery) by means of nanovehicles (NV). The aim is to deliver a cargo to a particular intracellular site, if possible, to exert a local action. Some of the principles discussed in this article apply to noncolloidal drugs that are not permeable to the plasma membrane or to the blood-brain barrier. NV are defined as a wide range of nanosized particles leading to colloidal objects which are capable of entering cells and tissues and delivering a cargo intracelullarly. Different localization and targeting means are discussed. Limited discussion on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics is also presented. NVs are contrasted to micro-delivery and current nanotechnologies which are already in commercial use. Newer developments in NV technologies are outlined and future applications are stressed. We also briefly review the existing modeling tools and approaches to quantitatively describe the behavior of targeted NV within the vascular and tumor compartments, an area of particular importance. While we list "elementary" phenomena related to different level of complexity of delivery to cancer, we also stress importance of multi-scale modeling and bottom-up systems biology approach.

Abstract
Phospholipid-like copolymers based on 2-(methacryloyloxyethyl) phosphorylcholine were synthesised using monomer-starved free radical polymerisation methods and incorporating cationic charge in the form of the choline methacrylate monomer in amounts varying from 0 to 30 wt%, together with a 5 wt% silyl cross-linking agent in order to render them water-insoluble once thermally cured. Characterisation using a variety of techniques including nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, high-pressure liquid chromatography and gel permeation chromatography showed the cationic monomer did not interfere with the polymerisation and that the desired amount of charge had been incorporated. Gravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry methods were used to evaluate the water contents of polymer membranes cured at 70 degrees C, which was seen to increase with increasing cation content, producing materials with water contents ranging from 50% to 98%. Surface plasmon resonance indicated that the coatings swelled rapidly in water, the rate and extent of swelling increasing with increasing cation level. Dynamic contact angle showed that coatings of all the polymers possessed a hydrophobic surface when dry in air, characteristic of the alkyl chains expressed at the surface (>100 degrees advancing angle). Rearrangement of the hydrophilic groups to the surface occurred once wet, to produce highly wettable surfaces with a decrease in advancing angle with increasing cation content. Atomic force microscopy showed all polymer films to be smooth with no features in topographical or phase imaging. Mechanical properties of the dry films were also unaffected by the increase in cation content.
