Abstract
Pulmonary infections complicate chronic lung diseases requiring attention to both the pathophysiology and complexity associated with infection management. Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) struggle with continuous bouts of pulmonary infections, contributing to lung destruction and eventual mortality. Additionally, CF patients struggle with airways that are highly viscous, with accumulated mucus creating optimal environments for bacteria colonization. The unique physiology and altered airway environment provide an ideal niche for bacteria to change their phenotype often becoming resistant to current treatments. Colonization with multiple pathogens at the same time further complicate treatment algorithms, requiring drug combinations that can challenge CF patient tolerance to treatment. The goal of this research initiative was to explore the utilization of a microparticle antibiotic delivery system, which could provide localized and sustained antibiotic dosing. The outcome of this work demonstrates the feasibility of providing efficient localized delivery of antibiotics to manage infection using both preclinical in vitro and in vivo CF infection models. The studies outlined in this manuscript demonstrate the proof-of-concept and unique capacity of polymerized cyclodextrin microparticles to provide site-directed management of pulmonary infections.

Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:965. [PMID: 38256039 PMCID: PMC10816219 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25020965] [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: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 12/31/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Among the vascular prostheses used for aortic replacement, 95% are woven or knitted grafts from polyester fibers. Such grafts require sealing, for which gelatin (Gel) is most often used. Sometimes antibiotics are added to the sealant. We used gelatin type A (GelA) or type B (GelB), containing one of the three antibiotics (Rifampicin, Ceftriaxone, or Vancomycin) in the sealant films. Our goal was to study the effect of these combinations on the mechanical and antibacterial properties and the cytocompatibility of the grafts. The mechanical characteristics were evaluated using water permeability and kinking radius. Antibacterial properties were studied using the disk diffusion method. Cytocompatibility with EA.hy926 endothelial cells was assessed via indirect cytotoxicity, cell adhesion, and viability upon direct contact with the samples (3, 7, and 14 days). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) were used to visualize the cells in the deep layers of the graft wall. "GelA + Vancomycin" and "GelB + vancomycin" grafts showed similar good mechanical characteristics (permeability~10 mL/min/cm2, kinking radius 21 mm) and antibacterial properties (inhibition zones for Staphilococcus aureus~15 mm, for Enterococcus faecalis~12 mm). The other samples did not exhibit any antibacterial properties. The cytocompatibility was good in all the tested groups, but endothelial cells exhibited the ability to self-organize capillary-like structures only when interacting with the "GelB + antibiotics" coatings. Based on the results obtained, we consider "GelB + vancomycin" sealant to be the most promising.

Abstract
Medical implants are frequently used in medicine and reconstructive surgery to treat various pathological and anatomical conditions. However, over time, biofilm formation on the surface of these implants can cause recurrent infections and subsequent inflammatory responses in the host, resulting in tissue damage, necrosis, and re-hospitalization. To address these implant-associated infections, the best approach is to create antimicrobial coatings. Here, we report the fabrication of a biocompatible, non-leaching, and contact-based antibacterial coating for implants using quaternary pullulan functionalized MoS2 (MCP) glycosheets. The cationic MCP glycosheets were coated on the surfaces of polydopamine-modified stainless steel and polyvinyl fluoride substrates through a simple process of electrostatic interaction. The developed coating showed excellent antibacterial activity (>99.5%) against E. coli and S. aureus that remained stable over 30 days without leaching out of the substrates and retained its antibacterial activity. MCP-coated implants did not induce any acute or sub-chronic toxicity to mammalian cells, both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, MCP coating prevented S. aureus colonization on stainless steel implants in a mouse model of implant-associated infection. The MCP coating developed in this study represents a simple, safe, and effective antibacterial coating for preventing implant-associated infections.

Abstract
The introduction of transcutaneous and subcutaneous implants and devices into the human body instigates fouling and foreign body responses (FBRs) that limit their functional lifetimes. Polymer coatings are a promising solution to improve the biocompatibility of such implants, with potential to enhance in vivo device performance and prolong device lifetime. Here we sought to develop novel materials for use as coatings on subcutaneously implanted devices to reduce the FBR and local tissue inflammation in comparison to gold standard materials such as poly(ethylene glycol) and polyzwitterions. We prepared a library of polyacrylamide-based copolymer hydrogels, which were selected from materials previously shown to exhibit remarkable antifouling properties with blood and plasma, and implanted them into the subcutaneous space of mice to evaluate their biocompatibility over the course of 1 month. The top performing polyacrylamide-based copolymer hydrogel material, comprising a 50:50 mixture of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)acrylamide (HEAm) and N-(3-methoxypropyl)acrylamide (MPAm), exhibited significantly better biocompatibility and lower tissue inflammation than gold standard materials. Moreover, when applied to polydimethylsiloxane disks or silicon catheters as a thin coating (45 ± 1 μm), this leading copolymer hydrogel coating significantly improved implant biocompatibility. Using a rat model of insulin-deficient diabetes, we showed that insulin pumps fitted with HEAm-co-MPAm hydrogel-coated insulin infusion catheters exhibited improved biocompatibility and extended functional lifetime over pumps fitted with industry standard catheters. These polyacrylamide-based copolymer hydrogel coatings have the potential to improve device function and lifetime, thereby reducing the burden of disease management for people regularly using implanted devices.

Abstract
Alpha-mangostin (α-mangostin) was discovered as a potent natural product against Gram-positive bacteria, whereas the underlying molecular mechanisms are still unclear. This study indicated that α-mangostin (at 4 × MIC) rapidly killed Staphylococcus aureus planktonic cells more effectively (at least 2-log10 CFU/ml) than daptomycin, vancomycin and linezolid at 1 and 3 h in the time-killing test. Interestingly, this study also found that a high concentration of α-mangostin (≥4×MIC) significantly reduced established biofilms of S. aureus. There were 58 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in α-mangostin nonsensitive S. aureus isolates by whole-genome sequencing, of which 35 SNPs were located on both sides of the sarT gene and 10 SNPs in the sarT gene. A total of 147 proteins with a different abundance were determined by proteomics analysis, of which 91 proteins increased, whereas 56 proteins decreased. The abundance of regulatory proteins SarX and SarZ increased. In contrast, the abundance of SarT and IcaB was significantly reduced (they belonged to SarA family and ica system, associated with the biofilm formation of S. aureus). The abundance of cell membrane proteins VraF and DltC was augmented, but the abundance of cell membrane protein UgtP remarkably decreased. Propidium iodide and DiBaC4(3) staining assay revealed that the fluorescence intensities of DNA and the cell membrane were elevated in the α-mangostin treated S. aureus isolates. In conclusion, this study reveals that α-mangostin was effective against S. aureus planktonic cells by targeting cell membranes. The anti-biofilm effect of α-mangostin may be through inhibiting the function of SarT and IcaB.

Abstract
The treatment of bone infections has always been difficult. The emergence of drug-resistant bacteria has led to a steady decline in the effectiveness of antibiotics. It is also especially important to fight bacterial infections while repairing bone defects and cleaning up dead bacteria to prevent biofilm formation. The development of biomedical materials has provided us with a research direction to address this issue. We aimed to review the current literature, and have summarized multifunctional antimicrobial materials that have long-lasting antimicrobial capabilities that promote angiogenesis, bone production, or "killing and releasing." This review provides a comprehensive summary of the use of biomedical materials in the treatment of bone infections and a reference thereof, as well as encouragement to perform further research in this field.

Abstract
The emergence of antimicrobial-resistant bacterial strains has led to novel approaches for combating bacterial infections and surface contamination. More specifically, efforts in combining nanotechnology and biomimetics have led to the development of next-generation antimicrobial/antifouling nanomaterials. While nature-inspired nanoscale topographies are known for minimizing bacterial attachment through surface energy and physicochemical features, few studies have investigated the combined inhibitory effects of such features in combination with chemical alterations of these surfaces. Studies describing surface alterations, such as quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs), have also gained attention due to their broad spectrum of inhibitory activity against bacterial cells. Similarly, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have exhibited their capacity to reduce bacterial viability. To maximize the functionality of modified surfaces, the integration of patterned surfaces and functionalized exteriors, achieved through physical and chemical surface alterations, have recently been explored as viable alternatives. Nonetheless, these modifications are prone to challenges that can reduce their efficacy considerably in the long term. Their effectiveness against a wider array of microbial cells is still a subject of investigation. This review article will explore and discuss the emerging trends in biomimetics and other antimicrobials while raising possible concerns about their limitations and discussing future implications regarding their potential combined applications.

Abstract
While peptide and protein therapeutics have made tremendous advances in clinical treatments over the past few decades, they have been largely hindered by their ability to be effectively delivered to patients. While bolus parenteral injections have become standard clinical practice, they are insufficient to treat diseases that require sustained, local release of therapeutics. Cyclodextrin-based polymers (pCD) have been utilized as a platform to extend the local delivery of small-molecule hydrophobic drugs by leveraging hydrophobic-driven thermodynamic interactions between pCD and payload to extend its release, which has seen success both in vitro and in vivo. Herein, we proposed the novel synthesis of protein-polymer conjugates that are capped with a "high affinity" adamantane. Using bovine serum albumin as a model protein, and anti-interleukin 10 monoclonal antibodies as a functional example, we outline the synthesis of novel protein-polymer conjugates that, when coupled with cyclodextrin delivery platforms, can maintain a sustained release of up to 65 days without largely sacrificing protein structure/function which has significant clinical applications in local antibody-based treatments for immune diseases, cancers, and diabetes.

Abstract
The unprecedented aging of the world's population will boost the need for orthopedic implants and expose their current limitations to a greater extent due to the medical complexity of elderly patients and longer indwelling times of the implanted materials. Biocompatible metals with multifunctional bioactive coatings promise to provide the means for the controlled and tailorable release of different medications for patient-specific treatment while prolonging the material's lifespan and thus improving the surgical outcome. The objective of this work is to provide a review of several groups of biocompatible materials that might be utilized as constituents for the development of multifunctional bioactive coatings on metal materials with a focus on antimicrobial, pain-relieving, and anticoagulant properties. Moreover, the review presents a summary of medications used in clinical settings, the disadvantages of the commercially available products, and insight into the latest development strategies. For a more successful translation of such research into clinical practice, extensive knowledge of the chemical interactions between the components and a detailed understanding of the properties and mechanisms of biological matter are required. Moreover, the cost-efficiency of the surface treatment should be considered in the development process.

New solutions for combatting implant bacterial infection based on silver nano-dispersed and gallium incorporated phosphate bioactive glass sputtered films: A preliminary study. Bioact Mater 2022; 8:325-340. [PMID: 34541404 PMCID: PMC8427212 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2021.05.055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2021] [Revised: 05/29/2021] [Accepted: 05/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Ag/Ga were incorporated into resorbable orthopaedic phosphate bioactive glasses (PBG, containing P, Ca, Mg, Na, and Fe) thin films to demonstrate their potential to limit growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in post-operative prosthetic implantation. Dual target consecutive co-sputtering was uniquely employed to produce a 46 nm Ag:PBG composite observed by high resolution TEM to consist of uniformly dispersed ~5 nm metallic Ag nano-particles in a glass matrix. Ga3+ was integrated into a phosphate glass preform target which was magnetron sputtered to film thicknesses of ~400 or 1400 nm. All coatings exhibited high surface energy of 75.4-77.3 mN/m, attributed to the presence of hydrolytic P-O-P structural surface bonds. Degradation profiles obtained in deionized water, nutrient broth and cell culture medium showed varying ion release profiles, whereby Ga release was measured in 1400 nm coating by ICP-MS to be ~6, 27, and 4 ppm respectively, fully dissolving by 24 h. Solubility of Ag nanoparticles was only observed in nutrient broth (~9 ppm by 24 h). Quantification of colony forming units after 24 h showed encouraging antibacterial efficacy towards both S. aureus (4-log reduction for Ag:PBG and 6-log reduction for Ga-PBG≈1400 nm) and E. coli (5-log reduction for all physical vapour deposited layers) strains. Human Hs27 fibroblast and mesenchymal stem cell line in vitro tests indicated good cytocompatibility for all sputtered layers, with a marginal cell proliferation inertia in the case of the Ag:PBG composite thin film. The study therefore highlights the (i) significant manufacturing development via the controlled inclusion of metallic nanoparticles into a PBG glass matrix by dual consecutive target co-sputtering and (ii) potential of PBG resorbable thin-film structures to incorporate and release cytocompatible/antibacterial oxides. Both architectures showed prospective bio-functional performance for a future generation of endo-osseous implant-type coatings.

Abstract
While orthopedic implant-associated infections are rare, revision surgeries resulting from infections incur considerable healthcare costs and represent a substantial research area clinically, in academia, and in industry. In recent years, there have been numerous advances in the development of antimicrobial strategies for the prevention and treatment of orthopedic implant-associated infections which offer promise to improve the limitations of existing delivery systems through local and controlled release of antimicrobial agents. Prior to translation to in vivo orthopedic implant-associated infection models, the properties (e.g., degradation, antimicrobial activity, biocompatibility) of the antimicrobial materials can be evaluated in subcutaneous implant in vivo models. The antimicrobial materials are then incorporated into in vivo implant models to evaluate the efficacy of using the material to prevent or treat implant-associated infections. Recent technological advances such as 3D-printing, bacterial genomic sequencing, and real-time in vivo imaging of infection and inflammation have contributed to the development of preclinical implant-associated infection models that more effectively recapitulate the clinical presentation of infections and improve the evaluation of antimicrobial materials. This Review highlights the advantages and limitations of antimicrobial materials used in conjunction with orthopedic implants for the prevention and treatment of orthopedic implant-associated infections and discusses how these materials are evaluated in preclinical in vivo models. This analysis serves as a resource for biomaterial researchers in the selection of an appropriate orthopedic implant-associated infection preclinical model to evaluate novel antimicrobial materials.

Abstract
Antimicrobial and self-cleaning nanomaterial coatings have attracted significant research attention in recent years due to the growing global threat of infectious diseases, the emergence of new diseases such as COVID-19, and increases in healthcare-associated infections. Although there are many reportedly successful coating technologies, the evaluation of antimicrobial performance is primarily conducted under simple laboratory conditions without adequate testing under real environmental conditions that reflect practical use and more importantly, reveal unintended outcomes. Furthermore, there is no standardized evaluation methodology to assess the long-term stability or the consequences associated with coating deterioration, such as the ecological impacts of nanomaterials or the proliferation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria/genes. In this review, we propose a precautionary framework that integrates a rigorous assessment of potential risks and limitations of nanomaterial coatings for antimicrobial applications as intrinsic to a comprehensive evaluation of their benefits. In addition, we summarize some emerging coating technologies as promising strategies to minimize unintended risks and enhance performance.

Abstract
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infects humans and dromedary camels and is responsible for an ongoing outbreak of severe respiratory illness in humans in the Middle East. Although some mutations found in camel-derived MERS-CoV strains have been characterized, most natural variation found across MERS-CoV isolates remains unstudied. We report on the environmental stability, replication kinetics, and pathogenicity of several diverse isolates of MERS-CoV, as well as isolates of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, to serve as a basis of comparison with other stability studies. Although most MERS-CoV isolates had similar stability and pathogenicity in our experiments, the camel-derived isolate C/KSA/13 had reduced surface stability, and another camel isolate, C/BF/15, had reduced pathogenicity in a small animal model. These results suggest that although betacoronaviruses might have similar environmental stability profiles, individual variation can influence this phenotype, underscoring the need for continual global viral surveillance.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION With increases in implant infections, the search for antibacterial and biofilm coatings has become a new interest for orthopaedists and dentists. In recent years, graphene oxide (GO) has been extensively studied for its superior antibacterial properties. However, most of these studies have focused on solutions and there are few antibacterial studies on metal surfaces, especially the surfaces of cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloys. ε-Poly-L-lysine (ε-PLL), as a novel food preservative, has a spectrum of antimicrobial activity; however, its antimicrobial activity after coating an implant surface is not clear. METHODS In this study, for the first time, a two-step electrodeposition method was used to coat GO and ε-PLL on the surface of a CoCrMo alloy. Its antibacterial and antibiofilm properties against S. aureus and E. coli were then studied. RESULTS The results show that the formation of bacteria and biofilms on the coating surface was significantly inhibited, GO and ε-PLL composite coatings had the best antibacterial and antibiofilm effects, followed by ε-PLL and GO coatings. In terms of classification, the coatings are anti-adhesive and contact-killing/inhibitory surfaces. In addition to oxidative stress, physical damage to GO and electrostatic osmosis of ε-PLL are the main antibacterial and antibiofilm mechanisms. DISCUSSION This is the first study that GO and ε-PLL coatings were successfully prepared on the surface of CoCrMo alloy by electrodeposition. It provides a promising new approach to the problem of implant infection in orthopedics and stomatology.

Ravine TJ. Examining properties influencing infectious microbe associations with surfaces of four different thermoplastic radiation therapy masks. J Med Imaging Radiat Sci 2021; 52:576-585.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous testing revealed that four different microbes applied to face-only masks from Civco, Klarity Medical, Orfit, and Qfix demonstrated variation in the number recovered from each mask type after a 1-hour contact time. In all cases, the Orfit mask demonstrated the largest number of recovered microbes suggesting a preference by tested microbes to create associations with this mask type. METHODS The current study evaluated three physiochemical features of these thermoplastic masks to determine why the Orfit mask encouraged greater microbial associations. Measurements including water contact angle (WCA), surface topography, and available contact area were determined for each mask type, where feasible. RESULTS The Orfit mask exhibited the greatest difference in each of the 3 evaluated characteristics. Overall, it showed decreased hydrophobicity, increased surface roughness, and increased surface contact area. The WCA of both Orfit (50.8°) and Klarity (95.6°) masks showed decreased hydrophobicity when compared to native PCL (129.97°). CONCLUSION The Orfit mask's decreased hydrophobicity, increased roughness, and larger surface contact area appears to have contributed to its ability to support a larger number of microbe associations. The decreased hydrophobicity and altered topography of both Klarity and Orfit masks may have been due to their additional antimicrobial coatings.

Abstract
Medical device-related infections are becoming a steadily increasing challenge for the health care system regarding the difficulties in the clinical treatment. In particular, cardiovascular implant infections, catheter-related infections, as well as infective endocarditis are associated with high morbidity and mortality risks for the patients. Antimicrobial materials may help to prevent medical device-associated infections and supplement the currently available therapies. In this study, we present an easy-to-handle and simplified in vivo model to test antimicrobial materials in the bloodstream of mice. The model system is composed of the implantation of a bacteria-laden micro-stent scaffold into the murine tail vein. Our model enables the simulation of catheter-related infections as well as the development of infective endocarditis specific pathologies in combination with material testing. Furthermore, this in vivo model can cover two phases of the biofilm formation, including both the local tissue response to the bacterial biofilm and the systemic inflammatory response against circulating bacteria in the bloodstream that detached from a mature biofilm.

Abstract
Advances in hydrogel technology have unlocked unique and valuable capabilities that are being applied to a diverse set of translational applications. Hydrogels perform functions relevant to a range of biomedical purposes-they can deliver drugs or cells, regenerate hard and soft tissues, adhere to wet tissues, prevent bleeding, provide contrast during imaging, protect tissues or organs during radiotherapy, and improve the biocompatibility of medical implants. These capabilities make hydrogels useful for many distinct and pressing diseases and medical conditions and even for less conventional areas such as environmental engineering. In this review, we cover the major capabilities of hydrogels, with a focus on the novel benefits of injectable hydrogels, and how they relate to translational applications in medicine and the environment. We pay close attention to how the development of contemporary hydrogels requires extensive interdisciplinary collaboration to accomplish highly specific and complex biological tasks that range from cancer immunotherapy to tissue engineering to vaccination. We complement our discussion of preclinical and clinical development of hydrogels with mechanical design considerations needed for scaling injectable hydrogel technologies for clinical application. We anticipate that readers will gain a more complete picture of the expansive possibilities for hydrogels to make practical and impactful differences across numerous fields and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Medical devices and medicinal products have many similarities in their nature, scope or specific medical purposes, and despite the differences in their principal means of action, they are often used in combination. Indeed, many medicinal products depend on medical devices for their administration, and it is increasingly common for medical devices to contain medicinal substances to support their action. Therefore, the combination of medicinal products and medical devices provides additional benefits for patients. However, their higher technical complexity requires a strengthening of their authorisation and certification requirements. In this regard, more comprehensive requirements and classification rules are introduced by a new European regulation on medical devices that fully applies from May 26th 2021. On account of their therapeutic significance, this review aims at gaining insight into the borderline between medical devices and medicinal products in this new 2021 regulatory framework. For the first time, any item containing a medical device and a medicinal product will have both parts evaluated. Through exemplification of both marketed and investigational devices incorporating medicinal substances and drug-device combinations, the new European requirements and their implications are thoroughly illustrated herein.

Abstract
Materials possessing long-term antibacterial behavior and high cytotoxicity are of extreme interest in several applications, from biomedical devices to food packaging. Furthermore, for the safeguard of the human health and the environment, it is also stringent keeping in mind the need to gather good functional performances with the development of ecofriendly materials and processes. In this study, we propose a green fabrication method for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles supported on oxidized nanocellulose (ONCs), acting as both template and reducing agent. The complete structural and morphological characterization shows that well-dispersed and crystalline Ag nanoparticles of about 10-20 nm were obtained in the cellulose matrix. The antibacterial properties of Ag-nanocomposites (Ag-ONCs) were evaluated through specific Agar diffusion tests against E. coli bacteria, and the results clearly demonstrate that Ag-ONCs possess high long-lasting antibacterial behavior, retained up to 85% growth bacteria inhibition, even after 30 days of incubation. Finally, cell viability assays reveal that Ag-ONCs show a significant cytotoxicity in mouse embryonic fibroblasts.

Abstract
Surface-associated microbial infections and contaminations are a major challenge in various fields including the food and health sectors. This study demonstrates the design of antimicrobial coatings based on the self-assembly of the food-grade amphiphilic lipid glycerol monooleate with the human cathelicidin-derived antimicrobial peptide LL-37. Structural properties of the coating and their alterations with composition were studied using advanced experimental methods including synchrotron grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering and ellipsometry. The integration of the LL-37 and its potential release from the nanostructured films into the surrounding solution was characterized with confocal Raman microscopy. Additional biological evaluation studies with clinically relevant bacterial strains, namely, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Gram-negative) and Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive), were performed to investigate the antimicrobial activity of the coatings. Significant killing activity of the coating was found against both bacterial strains. The presented findings contribute to the fundamental understanding of lipid-peptide self-assembly on the surface and may open up a promising strategy for designing simple, sustainable antimicrobial coatings for medical and food applications.

Microbial contamination of medical devices and treatment rooms leads to several detrimental hospital and device-associated infections. Antimicrobial copper coatings are a new approach to control healthcare-associated infections (HAI’s). This review paper focuses on the efficient methods for depositing highly adherent copper-based antimicrobial coatings onto a variety of metal surfaces. Antimicrobial properties of the copper coatings produced by various deposition methods including thermal spray technique, electrodeposition, electroless plating, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), and sputtering techniques are compared. The coating produced using different processes did not produce similar properties. Also, process parameters often could be varied for any given coating process to impart a change in structure, topography, wettability, hardness, surface roughness, and adhesion strength. In turn, all of them affect antimicrobial activity. Fundamental concepts of the coating process are described in detail by highlighting the influence of process parameters to increase antimicrobial activity. The strategies for developing antimicrobial surfaces could help in understanding the mechanism of killing the microbes.

Controlled bacteriostasis of tea polyphenol loaded ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene with high crosslink density and oxidation resistance for total joint replacement. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2021; 124:112040. [PMID: 33947540 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2021.112040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2020] [Revised: 03/01/2021] [Accepted: 03/22/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
To avoid catastrophic bacterial infection in prosthesis failure, ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), a common bearing material of artificial joints, has been formulated with antibiotics to eliminate bacteria locally at the implant site. However, the pressing issues regarding cytotoxic effects and evolution of drug resistant bacteria necessitates the development of bio-friendly bacteriostat with long bacteriostatic efficacy. Herein, tea polyphenol extracted from nature source was introduced in UHMWPE as a biogenic antimicrobial. Controlled antimicrobial activity was achieved by chemical crosslinking to regulate the release of the tea polyphenol. In addition, the crosslinking efficiency of UHMWPE blends with high loaded tea polyphenol was significantly improved in comparison to radiation crosslinking. The immobilized tea polyphenols also enhanced the oxidation stability of the UHMWPE, which is essential to prolong the service life in vivo and the storage time in vitro. The blends presented good biocompatibility, despite cell repellent on the highly crosslinked surface. Chemically crosslinked tea polyphenol/UHMWPE exhibited feasible properties for total joint implants, which is promising for clinical application.

Abstract
Due to increasing bacterial resistance to antibiotics, surface coatings of medical devices with antimicrobial agents have come to the fore. These surface coatings on medical devices were basically thin coatings that delaminated from the medical devices due to the fluid environment and the biomechanical activities associated with in-service implants. The conventional methods of manufacturing have been used to alloy metal-based antimicrobial (MBA) agents such as Cu with Ti6Al4V to enhance its antibacterial properties but failed to produce intricate shapes. Additive manufacturing technology, such as laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), could be used to produce the Ti6Al4V–xCu alloy with intricate shapes to enhance osseointegration, but have not been successful for texturing the surfaces of the Ti6Al4V–xCu samples at the nanoscale.

Abstract
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is a coronavirus that infects both humans and dromedary camels and is responsible for an ongoing outbreak of severe respiratory illness in humans in the Middle East. While some mutations found in camel-derived MERS-CoV strains have been characterized, the majority of natural variation found across MERS-CoV isolates remains unstudied. Here we report on the environmental stability, replication kinetics and pathogenicity of several diverse isolates of MERS-CoV as well as SARS-CoV-2 to serve as a basis of comparison with other stability studies. While most of the MERS-CoV isolates exhibited similar stability and pathogenicity in our experiments, the camel derived isolate, C/KSA/13, exhibited reduced surface stability while another camel isolate, C/BF/15, had reduced pathogenicity in a small animal model. These results suggest that while betacoronaviruses may have similar environmental stability profiles, individual variation can influence this phenotype, underscoring the importance of continual, global viral surveillance.

Abstract
In addition to specific antibiotic resistance, the formation of bacterial biofilm causes another level of complications in attempts to eradicate pathogenic or harmful bacteria, including difficult penetration of drugs through biofilm structures to bacterial cells, impairment of immunological response of the host, and accumulation of various bioactive compounds (enzymes and others) affecting host physiology and changing local pH values, which further influence various biological functions. In this review article, we provide an overview on the formation of bacterial biofilm and its properties, and then we focus on the possible use of phage-derived depolymerases to combat bacterial cells included in this complex structure. On the basis of the literature review, we conclude that, although these bacteriophage-encoded enzymes may be effective in destroying specific compounds involved in the formation of biofilm, they are rarely sufficient to eradicate all bacterial cells. Nevertheless, a combined therapy, employing depolymerases together with antibiotics and/or other antibacterial agents or factors, may provide an effective approach to treat infections caused by bacteria able to form biofilms.

Abstract
Simple Summary Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common bone cancer in children. OS most commonly arises in the legs, but can arise in any bone, including the spine, head or neck. Along with chemotherapy, surgery is a mainstay of OS treatment and in the 1990s, surgeons began to shift from amputation to limb-preserving surgery. Since then, improvements in imaging, surgical techniques and implant design have led to improvements in functional outcomes without compromising on the cancer outcomes for these patients. This paper summarises these advances, along with a brief discussion of future technologies currently in development. Abstract Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary bone cancer in children and, unfortunately, is associated with poor survival rates. OS most commonly arises around the knee joint, and was traditionally treated with amputation until surgeons began to favour limb-preserving surgery in the 1990s. Whilst improving functional outcomes, this was not without problems, such as implant failure and limb length discrepancies. OS can also arise in areas such as the pelvis, spine, head, and neck, which creates additional technical difficulty given the anatomical complexity of the areas. We reviewed the literature and summarised the recent advances in OS surgery. Improvements have been made in many areas; developments in pre-operative imaging technology have allowed improved planning, whilst the ongoing development of intraoperative imaging techniques, such as fluorescent dyes, offer the possibility of improved surgical margins. Technological developments, such as computer navigation, patient specific instruments, and improved implant design similarly provide the opportunity to improve patient outcomes. Going forward, there are a number of promising avenues currently being pursued, such as targeted fluorescent dyes, robotics, and augmented reality, which bring the prospect of improving these outcomes further.

Abstract
The clinical challenge on surface engineering of medical devices to prevent microorganisms adhesion and biofilm formation, has become an essential aspect for medical implants. Antibacterial properties of Graphene Oxide (GO) have been demonstrated across a broad spectrum of bacteria, and the different mechanisms of action with which this nanomaterial interacts with the microbial surface have been elucidated in detail. Innovative protective coatings based on graphene film and hydrogel could represent an innovative solution for the prevention of nosocomial pathogens colonization on implantable device. This brief review mainly focuses on the applications of graphene in nanomedicine with a particular deepening on the antibacterial properties of GO and GO-based nanomaterials. In order to evaluate the possible future applications of GO as an anti-biofilm coating material for medical devices, studies on the ability of graphene coated surface to prevent microbial adhesion are also discussed. A concise review on in vitro toxicity and in vivo safety is also presented.

Abstract
Urinary and intravascular catheters are two of the most used invasive medical devices; however, microbial colonization of catheter surfaces is responsible for most healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Several antimicrobial-coated catheters are available, but recurrent antibiotic therapy can decrease their potential activity against resistant bacterial strains. The aim of this Review is to question the actual effectiveness of currently used (coated) catheters and describe the progress and promise of alternative antimicrobial coatings. Different strategies have been reviewed with the common goal of preventing biofilm formation on catheters, including release-based approaches using antibiotics, antiseptics, nitric oxide, 5-fluorouracil, and silver as well as contact-killing approaches employing quaternary ammonium compounds, chitosan, antimicrobial peptides, and enzymes. All of these strategies have given proof of antimicrobial efficacy by modifying the physiology of pathogens or disrupting their structural integrity. The aim for synergistic approaches using multitarget processes and the combination of both antifouling and bactericidal properties holds potential for the near future. Despite intensive research in biofilm preventive strategies, laboratorial studies still present some limitations since experimental conditions usually are not the same and also differ from biological conditions encountered when the catheter is inserted in the human body. Consequently, in most cases, the efficacy data obtained from in vitro studies is not properly reflected in the clinical setting. Thus, further well-designed clinical trials and additional cytotoxicity studies are needed to prove the efficacy and safety of the developed antimicrobial strategies in the prevention of biofilm formation at catheter surfaces.

Abstract
Leprosy disease remains an important public health issue as it is still endemic in several countries. Mycobacterium leprae, the causative agent of leprosy, presents tropism for cells of the reticuloendothelial and peripheral nervous system. Current multidrug therapy consists of clofazimine, dapsone and rifampicin. Despite significant improvements in leprosy treatment, in most programs, successful completion of the therapy is still sub-optimal. Drug resistance has emerged in some countries. This review discusses the status of leprosy disease worldwide, providing information regarding infectious agents, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, actual treatment and future perspectives and strategies on targets for an efficient targeted delivery therapy.

Abstract
Drug delivery to specific arms of the immune system can be technically challenging to provide prolonged drug release while limiting off-target toxicity given the limitations of current drug delivery systems. In this work, we test the design of a cyclodextrin (CD) polymer platform to extend immunomodulatory drug delivery via affinity interactions for sustained release at multiple size scales. The parameter space of synthesis variables influencing particle nucleation and growth (pre-incubation time and stirring speed) and post-synthesis grinding effects on resulting particle diameter were characterized. We demonstrate that polymerized CD forms exhibit size-independent release profiles of the small molecule drug lenalidomide (LND) and can provide improved drug delivery profiles versus macro-scale CD polymer disks in part due to increased loading efficiency. CD polymer microparticles and smaller, ground particles demonstrated no significant cytotoxicity as compared to the base CD monomer when co-incubated with fibroblasts. Uptake of ground CD particles was significantly higher following incubation with RAW 264.7 macrophages in culture over standard CD microparticles. Thus, the affinity/structure properties afforded by polymerized CD allow particle size to be modified to affect cellular uptake profiles independently of drug release rate for applications in cell-targeted drug delivery.

Abstract
Small-molecule drugs are utilized in a wide variety of clinical applications, however, many of these drugs suffer from one or more suboptimal properties that can hinder its delivery or cellular action in vivo, or even shelf an otherwise biologically tolerable drug. While high-throughput screening provides a method to discover drugs with altered chemical properties, directly engineering small-molecule bioconjugates provides an opportunity to specifically modulate drug properties rather than sifting through large drug libraries with seemingly 'random' drug properties. Herein, we propose that selectively "tethering" a drug molecule to an additional group with favorable properties will improve the drug conjugate's overall properties, such as solubility. Specifically, we outlined the site-specific chemical conjugation of rapamycin (RAP) to an additional "high-affinity" group to increase the overall affinity the drug has for cyclodextrin-based polymers (pCD). By doing so, we found that RAP's affinity for pCD and RAP's window of delivery from pCD microparticles was tripled without sacrificing RAP's cellular action. This synthesis method was applied to the concept of "affinity" for pCD, but other prosthetic groups can be used similarly. This study displays potential for increasing drug delivery windows of small-molecule drugs in pCD systems for chronic drug therapies and introduces the idea of altering drug properties to tune polymer-drug interactions.

Abstract
Bacterial infections occurring on medical devices are incredibly difficult to treat, highlighting the urgency for progress in developing antibiotics and antibacterial materials. This work describes the preparation of an antibacterial prodrug polymer composite material for use as an antibacterial coating for medical devices to prevent infections. Polyvinyl chloride and polyurethane films are prepared containing a bacterial nitroreductase enzyme-activated diazeniumdiolate that releases nitric oxide (NO), a known potent antimicrobial agent. Characterization of the surface of the composite materials by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS) reveals that the surface of the materials is composed of high amounts of nitrogen due to incorporation of the NO donor compound, up to 13.2% nitrogen on the surface of the 2.5% w/v diazeniumdiolate composite. NO release from the composite films is observed only after metabolism by a bacterial nitroreductase enzyme isolated from E. coli, demonstrating the prodrug nature of the polymer composite materials. Antibacterial efficacy experiments resulted in up to a 66% reduction in E. coli after exposure to the diazeniumdiolate-composite materials. This work details the first illustration of an antibacterial enzyme-activated NO-releasing polymer, a material with potential application as a medical device coating to prevent device-associated infections and improve patient outcomes.

Bacterial pathogens are responsible for millions of cases of illnesses and deaths each year throughout the world. The development of novel surfaces and coatings that effectively inhibit and prevent bacterial attachment, proliferation, and growth is one of the crucial steps for tackling this global challenge. Herein, we report a dual-functional coating for aluminum surfaces that relies on the controlled immobilization of lysozyme enzyme (muramidase) into interstitial spaces of presintered, nanostructured thin film based on ∼200 nm silica nanoparticles and the sequential chemisorption of an organofluorosilane to the available interfacial areas. The mean diameter of the resultant lysozyme microdomains was 3.1 ± 2.5 μm with an average spacing of 8.01 ± 6.8 μm, leading to a surface coverage of 15.32%. The coating had an overall root-mean-square (rms) roughness of 539 ± 137 nm and roughness factor of 1.50 ± 0.1, and demonstrated static, advancing, and receding water contact angles of 159.0 ± 1.0°, 155.4 ± 0.6°, and 154.4 ± 0.6°, respectively. Compared to the planar aluminum, the coated surfaces produced a 6.5 ± 0.1 (>99.99997%) and 4.0 ± 0.1 (>99.99%) log-cycle reductions in bacterial surfaces colonization against Gram-negative Salmonella Typhimurium LT2 and Gram-positive Listeria innocua, respectively. We anticipate that the implementation of such a coating strategy on healthcare environments and surfaces and food-contact surfaces can significantly reduce or eliminate potential risks associated with various contamination and cross-contamination scenarios.

Abstract
Antimicrobial composite membranes, formed by cellulose acetate loaded with AgNO3 particles, were produced by supercritical phase inversion. Different cellulose acetate concentrations were tested (15%, 20%, 30%(w/w)), whereas the active agent (i.e., silver nitrate) concentration was fixed at 0.1%(w/w) with respect to the quantity of polymer used. To determine the influence of the process parameters on membranes morphology, the pressure and temperature were varied from 150 to 250 bar and from 55 to 35 °C, respectively. In all cases, regularly porous membranes were produced with a uniform AgNO3 distribution in the membrane matrix. Silver release rate depended on membrane pore size, covering a time interval from 8 to 75 h.

Abstract
For many chronic fibrotic conditions, there is a need for local, sustained antifibrotic drug delivery. A recent trend in the pharmaceutical industry is the repurposing of approved drugs. This paper investigates drugs that are classically used for anthelmintic activity (pyrvinium pamoate (PYR)), inhibition of adrenal steroidgenesis (metyrapone (MTP)), bactericidal effect (rifampicin (RIF), and treating iron/aluminum toxicity (deferoxamine mesylate (DFOA)), but are also under investigation for their potential positive effect in wound healing. In this role, they have not previously been tested in a localized delivery system suitable for obtaining the release for the weeks-to-months timecourse needed for wound resolution. Herein, two cyclodextrin-based polymer systems, disks and microparticles, are demonstrated to provide the long-term release of all four tested non-conventional wound-healing drugs for up to 30 days. Higher drug affinity binding, as determined from PyRx binding simulations and surface plasmon resonance in vitro, corresponded with extended release amounts, while drug molecular weight and solubility correlated with the improved drug loading efficiency of cyclodextrin polymers. These results, combined, demonstrate that leveraging affinity interactions, in combination with drug choice, can extend the sustained release of drugs with an alternative, complimentary action to resolve wound-healing and reduce fibrotic processes.

Abstract
Microbes develop several strategies to survive in the adverse condition such as biofilm formation, attaining non-dividing state, altering drug target or drug, thereby increases the burden of drug dosage. To combat these issues, nanoparticles have shown an alternative approach for new treatment strategy but synthesis via chemical synthetic route limits their application in biomedical field. Here, green method for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles using sophorolipid (SL) is discussed that is characterized by various techniques. Initially, the antimicrobial activity was checked against metabolically active state of microbes; Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Vibrio cholerae using XTT assay and growth kinetics assay. Results suggested higher efficacy of nanoparticles for Gram-negative, therefore further analyzed against Escherichia coli that confirmed its potency for the same. AuNPs-SL also signifies its efficiency at least metabolically active state; non dividing cells and biofilm of these microbes. Induced morphological changes were studied by SEM that revealed AuNPs-SL led to disruption of cell membrane and leakage of intracellular fluid to the surroundings. Inhibition of respiratory enzymes activity also plays a crucial role in bactericidal action as indicated by LDH assay. Synergy of AuNPs-SL with different antibiotics was also analyzed using checkerboard assay. These results suggested the possible use of AuNPs-SL as an antimicrobial therapy in the field of nanomedicine.

Abstract
The phytosynthesis of metallic nanoparticles represents an exciting new area of research, with promising perspectives, gaining in the last decades an increasing importance. Nanotechnology represents an important tool and an efficient option for obtaining particles with controlled morphology and shapes, phytosynthesized nanoparticles (NPs) being a good alternative to remove hazardous reagents. Due to the practical applications of the phytosynthesized nanoparticles, which are mainly associated with their antimicrobial potential, the abundance of scientific literature in this domain is given by researches in the phytosynthesis of metallic nanoparticles (3654 articles) and the evaluation of their antimicrobial properties (2338 papers). The application of phytosynthesized nanoparticles as antimicrobial coatings represented the subject of only 446 works, which lead us to the subject of this review paper. Application of antimicrobial coatings containing phytosynthesized nanoparticles for the development of antimicrobial textiles, other biomedical applications, protection of food (including fruits and vegetables), as well as for other types of applications based on their antimicrobial potential are covered by the present review.

Abstract
Polymers that are refillable and sustain local release will have a great impact in both preventing and treating local cancer recurrence as well as addressing non-resectable diseases. Polymerized cyclodextrin (pCD) disks, which reload drugs into molecular "pockets" in vivo through affinity interactions, have been previously shown to localize doxorubicin (Dox) to treat glioblastoma multiforme. However, one concern is whether drug refilling is influenced by competition from local biomolecules. In addition the impact of the polymer form on drug refilling is unknown. Herein, different pCD formulations were synthesized from γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) and were compared in vitro using competitive drug filling/refilling assays. Data reveal that affinity-based drug refilling occurs as a function of both the polymer form and the sustained release polymeric liquid (SRPL) dilution factor, pointing to the surface/volume ratio, as well as the CD pocket density, and the effects of the distance between pocket. In vitro refilling experiments with cholesterol demonstrated no interference with Dox filling of the CD polymer, while the presence of albumin only slightly reduced Dox filling of pCD-γ-MP (microparticle) and pCD-γ-SRPL forms, but not pCD-γ-disks. Moreover, whole serum competition did not inhibit filling or refilling of pCD-γ-MP with Dox at multiple concentrations and filling times, which indicates that this polymer (re)filling is primarily driven by affinity-based interactions that can overcome the physiological conditions which may limit other drug delivery approaches. This was supplemented by isolating variables through docking simulations and affinity measurements. These results attest to the efficiency of in vivo or in situ polymer filling/refilling in the presence of competitive biological molecules achieved partially through high affinity drug to polymer interactions.

Abstract
: Bacterial biofilm on medical devices is difficult to eradicate. Many have capitalized the anti-infective capability of silver ions (Ag+) by incorporating nano-silver (nAg) in a biodegradable coating, which is then laid on polymeric medical devices. However, such coating can be subjected to premature dissolution, particularly in harsh diseased tissue microenvironment, leading to rapid nAg clearance. It stands to reason that impregnating nAg directly onto the device, at the surface, is a more ideal solution. We tested this concept for a corneal prosthesis by immobilizing nAg and nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp) on poly(methyl methacrylate), and tested its biocompatibility with human stromal cells and antimicrobial performance against biofilm-forming pathogens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. Three different dual-functionalized substrates-high Ag (referred to as 75:25 HAp:Ag); intermediate Ag (95:5 HAp:Ag); and low Ag (99:1 HAp:Ag) were studied. The 75:25 HAp:Ag was effective in inhibiting biofilm formation, but was cytotoxic. The 95:5 HAp:Ag showed the best selectivity among the three substrates; it prevented biofilm formation of both pathogens and had excellent biocompatibility. The coating was also effective in eliminating non-adherent bacteria in the culture media. However, a 28-day incubation in artificial tear fluid revealed a ~40% reduction in Ag+ release, compared to freshly-coated substrates. The reduction affected the inhibition of S. aureus growth, but not the P. aeruginosa. Our findings suggest that Ag+ released from surface-immobilized nAg diminishes over time and becomes less effective in suppressing biofilm formation of Gram-positive bacteria, such as S. aureus. This advocates the coating, more as a protection against perioperative and early postoperative infections, and less as a long-term preventive solution.

Abstract
Fibrosis and dysphagic stricture of the esophagus is a major unaddressed problem often accompanying endoscopic removal of esophageal cancers and precancerous lesions. While weekly injections of antiproliferative agents show potential for improved healing, repeated injections are unlikely clinically and may alternatively be replaced by creating an esophageal drug delivery system. Affinity-based polymers have previously shown success for continuous delivery of small molecules for weeks to months. Herein, we explored the potential of an affinity-based microparticle to provide long-term release of an antiproliferative drug, sirolimus. In molecular docking simulations and surface plasmon resonance experiments, sirolimus was found to have suitable affinity for beta-cyclodextrin, while dextran, as a low affinity control, was validated. Polymerized beta-cyclodextrin microparticles exhibited 30 consecutive days of delivery of sirolimus during in vitro release studies. In total, the polymerized beta-cyclodextrin microparticles released 36.9 mg of sirolimus per milligram of polymer after one month of incubation in vitro. Taking daily drug release aliquots and applying them to PT-K75 porcine mucosal fibroblasts, we observed that cyclodextrin microparticle delivery preserved bioactivity of sirolimus inhibiting proliferation by 27-67% and migration of fibroblasts by 28-100% of buffer treated controls in vitro. Testing for esophageal injection site losses, no significant loss was incurred under simulated saliva flow for 10 min, and 16.7% of fluorescently labeled polymerized cyclodextrin microparticle signal was retained at 28 days after submucosal injection in esophageal tissue ex vivo versus only 4% of the initial amount remaining for free dye molecules injected alone. By combining affinity-based drug delivery for continuous long-term release with a microparticle platform that is injectable yet remains localized in tissue interstitium, this combination platform demonstrates promise for preventing esophageal fibrosis and stricture.

Abstract
Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) bone cement is used in several biomedical applications including as antibiotic-filled beads, temporary skeletal spacers, and cement for orthopedic implant fixation. To mitigate infection following surgery, antibiotics are often mixed into bone cement to achieve local delivery. However, since implanted cement is often structural, incorporated antibiotics must not compromise mechanical properties; this limits the selection of compatible antibiotics. Furthermore, antibiotics cannot be added to resolve future infections once cement is implanted. Finally, delivery from cement is suboptimal as incorporated antibiotics exhibit early burst release with most of the drug remaining permanently trapped. This prolonged subtherapeutic dosage drives pathogen antibiotic resistance. To overcome these limitations of antibiotic-laden bone cement, insoluble cyclodextrin (CD) microparticles are incorporated into PMMA to provide more sustained delivery of a broader range of drugs, without impacting mechanics. PMMA formulations with and without CD microparticles are synthesized and filled with one of three antibiotics and evaluated using zone of inhibition, drug release, and compression studies. Additionally, the ability of PMMA with microparticles to serve as a refillable antibiotic delivery depot is explored. Findings suggest that addition of CD microparticles to cement promotes postimplantation antibiotic refilling and enables incorporation of previously incompatible antibiotics while preserving favorable mechanical properties.
