Evaluation of zinc oxide nanocomposite with Aloe vera gel for packaging of chicken fillet against Salmonella typhi and Salmonella para typhi A. Food Sci Nutr 2023; 11:5882-5889. [PMID: 37823100 PMCID: PMC10563724 DOI: 10.1002/fsn3.3528] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2023] [Revised: 06/03/2023] [Accepted: 06/08/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023] Open
Abstract
The growing demand for high food quality has been encouraging researchers in the food industry to apply biodegradable nanocomposites, which provide new opportunities and challenges for the advance of nanomaterials in the food industry. The objective of this study was to estimate the antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity effects of zinc oxide nanocomposite/zeolite (c/Zeo) with Aloe vera gel (AG) and its effect on the shelf life of chicken meat. The ZnONPs/Zeo was assessed using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) analyses. The cytotoxicity effect of ZnONPs/Zeo was assessed by MTT assay. Then, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of ZnONPs/Zeo and ZnONPs/Zeo-AG against Salmonella typhi and Salmonella para typhi A were investigated. Also, the preservative effect of nanocomposites on chicken fillets was evaluated. The results showed that these nanocomposites have the least cytotoxicity effect, resulting in good biocompatibility with the host. The MIC and MBC values of ZnONPs/Zeo-AG were lower than the ZnONPs/Zeo against S. typhi and S. paratyphi A. Both ZnONPs/Zeo-AG and ZnONPs/Zeo caused a significant decrease in the bacterial count of the chicken fillets. So, by spraying on meat, the number of bacteria presented a sharper decline as compared with the control group, resulting in an approximately 3.3 and 3-log10 reduction over 48 h in the ZnONPs/Zeo-AG and ZnONPs/Zeo treatment samples, respectively. In conclusion, antimicrobial packaging with ZnONPs containing A. vera is a beneficial solution for preserving and improving the quality, safety, and shelf life of fresh meat products.

Abstract
Burn injuries can have a lasting effect on people’s quality of life, as they negatively impact their physical and mental health. Then, they are likely to suffer psychological problems as a result. A serious problem is that deep burns are more challenging to treat due to their slow healing rate and susceptibility to microbial infection. Conventional topical medications used for burn treatment are sometimes ineffective because they cannot optimize their ability of transcutaneous absorption at the targeted site and accelerate healing. However, nanotechnology offers excellent prospects for developing current medical wound therapies and is capable of addressing issues such as low drug stability, water solubility, permeability, and bioavailability. The current review focuses on lipid-based vesicles (vesiculosomes) as an example of advanced delivery systems, showing their potential clinical applications in burn wound management. Vesiculosomes may help overcome impediments including the low bioavailability of active agents, offering the controlled release of drugs, increased drug stability, fewer side effects, and reduced dosing frequency, which will ultimately improve therapeutic efficacy and patient compliance. We discuss the application of various types of vesiculosomes such as liposomes, niosomes, ethosomes, cubosomes, transfersomes, and phytosomes in burn healing therapy, as these demonstrate superior skin penetration compared to conventional burn topical treatment. We also highlight their noteworthy uses in the formulation of natural products and discuss the current status as well as future perspectives of these carriers in burn management. Furthermore, the burn treatment options currently available in the market are also summarized.

Abstract
Chronic wound healing is a major threat all over the world. There are currently a plethora of biomaterials-based wound dressings available for wound healing applications. In this study, a dual protein-based (silk fibroin and sericin) nanofibrous scaffold from a natural source (B.mori silkworm cocoons) with antibacterial and antioxidative properties for wound healing was investigated. An electrospun layer-by-layer silk protein-based nanofibrous scaffold was fabricated with a top layer of hydrophobic silk fibroin protein blended with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), a middle layer of waste protein silk sericin loaded with silver(I) sulfadiazine as an antibacterial agent, and a bottom layer using silk fibroin blended with polycaprolactone (PCL). The trilayered nanofibrous scaffold with a smooth and bead-free morphology demonstrated excellent wettability, slow in vitro degradation, controlled drug release, and potent antibacterial and antioxidant properties. In vitro, the scaffold also demonstrated excellent hemocompatibility and biocompatibility. Furthermore, in vivo wound contraction, histological, and micro-CT investigations show complete wound healing and the formation of new skin tissue in a male Balb/c mouse model treated with the scaffold. The antioxidant properties of the sericin protein and SSD-based triple-layered nanofibrous scaffold protect the wound from bacterial infection and improve wound healing in a mouse model. The current study develops a dual protein-based nanofibrous scaffold with antibacterial and antioxidant properties as a promising wound dressing material.

Abstract
Objective: This study aims to assess the wound healing efficacy in second-degree burns in rats treated with 1% silver sulfadiazine (SSD)—a sulfonamide antibiotic. Method: This is a systematic literature review and meta-analysis performed according to the PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison and Outcomes) strategy. Results: The review found 100 studies in PubMed, Web of Science and other search engines. Of these, 70 studies were pre-selected after removing duplicates. After independent analysis by two reviewers, only seven studies met the inclusion criteria for meta-analysis. All studies except one showed faster wound closure by the application of silver sulfadiazine ointment. Using a random effects model, healing was faster in SSD-treated groups when compared to the control group on day 21, with a statistically significant mean difference of –2.72 days (95% confidence interval: –4.99, –0.45) between treatment and control groups (p<0.01). Conclusion: The results of this meta-analysis revealed that SSD aided in faster healing of second-degree burns.

Abstract
Impaired wound healing is an encumbering public health issue that increases the demand for developing new therapies in order to minimize health costs and enhance treatment efficacy. Available conventional therapies are still unable to maximize their potential in penetrating the skin at the target site and accelerating the healing process. Nanotechnology exhibits an excellent opportunity to enrich currently available medical treatments, enhance standard care and manage wounds. It is a promising approach, able to address issues such as the permeability and bioavailability of drugs with reduced stability or low water solubility. This paper focuses on nanosized-lipid-based drug delivery systems, describing their numerous applications in managing skin wounds. We also highlight the relationship between the physicochemical characteristics of nanosized, lipid-based drug delivery systems and their impact on the wound-healing process. Different types of nanosized-lipid-based drug delivery systems, such as vesicular systems and lipid nanoparticles, demonstrated better applicability and enhanced skin penetration in wound healing therapy compared with conventional treatments. Moreover, an improved chemically and physically stable drug delivery system, with increased drug loading capacity and enhanced bioavailability, has been shown in drugs encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles. Their applications in wound care show potential for overcoming impediments, such as the inadequate bioavailability of active agents with low solubility. Future research in nanosized-lipid-based drug delivery systems will allow the achievement of increased bioavailability and better control of drug release, providing the clinician with more effective therapies for wound care.

Abstract
Burns are a global public health problem and the treatment of burn wounds is a major medical and economic issue. White jade snails (Achatina fulica) are now widely distributed in Asia, and they have been used to treat burns in folk medicine of China. In this study, the glycoproteins from white jade snails were investigated and their effect on burn healing was evaluated by a mouse burn model. The results showed that the snail mucus was mainly composed of proteins and polysaccharides, and it had good adhesion. The main component of snail mucus was glycoprotein from the results of DEAE Sepharose FF ion exchange chromatography. The 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging effect of 1 mg/mL snail mucus reached 13.77%. The wound healing rate of the snail mucus group was higher than that of the control group (p < 0.0001). Histopathological results showed that mice in the snail mucus group had a faster healing than that of the control group. The biochemical analysis was in agreement with the histopathological findings. These results suggested that glycoproteins from snail mucus showed effective wound healing activities in the skin of experimentally burned mice.

Abstract
A wound refers to the epithelial loss, accompanied by loss of muscle fibers collagen, nerves and bone
instigated by surgery, trauma, frictions or by heat. Process of wound healing is a compounded activity of recovering
the functional integrity of the damaged tissues. This process is mediated by various cytokines and growth
factors usually liberated at the wound site. A plethora of herbal and synthetic drugs, as well as photodynamic
therapy, is available to facilitate the process of wound healing. Generally, the systems used for the management
of wounds tend to act through covering the ruptured site, reduce pain, inflammation, and prevent the invasion and
growth of microorganisms. The available systems are, though, enough to meet these requirements, but the involvement
of nanotechnology can ameliorate the performance of these protective coverings. In recent years,
nano-based formulations have gained immense popularity among researchers for the wound healing process due
to the enhanced benefits they offer over the conventional preparations. Hereupon, this review aims to cover the
entire roadmap of wound healing, beginning from the molecular factors involved in the process, the various synthetic
and herbal agents, and combination therapy available for the treatment and the current nano-based systems
available for delivery through the topical route for wound healing.

Abstract
Background Among the novel cancer treatment strategies, combination therapy is a cornerstone of cancer therapy. Materials and Methods Here, combination therapy with targeted polymer, magnetic hyperthermia and chemotherapy was presented as an effective therapeutic technique. The DOX-loaded PLA–PEG–FA magnetic nanoparticles (nanocarrier) were prepared via a double emulsion method. The nanocarriers were characterized by particle size, zeta potential, morphology, saturation magnetizations and heat generation capacity, and the encapsulation efficiency, drug content and in-vitro drug release for various weight ratios of PLA:DOX. Then, cytotoxicity, cellular uptake and apoptosis level of nanocarrier-treated cells for HeLa and CT26 cells were investigated by MTT assay, flow cytometry, and apoptosis detection kit. Results and Conclusions The synthesized nanoparticles were spherical in shape, had low aggregation and considerable magnetic properties. Meanwhile, the drug content and encapsulation efficiency of nanoparticles can be achieved by varying the weight ratios of PLA:DOX. The saturation magnetizations of nanocarriers in the maximum applied magnetic field were 59/447 emu/g and 28/224 emu/g, respectively. Heat generation capacity of MNPs and nanocarriers were evaluated in the external AC magnetic field by a hyperthermia device. The highest temperature, 44.2°C, was measured in the nanocarriers suspension at w/w ratio 10:1 (polymer:DOX weight ratio) after exposed to the magnetic field for 60 minutes. The encapsulation efficiency improved with increasing polymer concentration, since the highest DOX encapsulation efficiency was related to the nanocarriers’ suspension at w/w ratio 50:1 (79.6 ± 6.4%). However, the highest DOX loading efficiency was measured in the nanocarriers’ suspension at w/w ratio 10:1 (5.14 ± 0.6%). The uptake efficiency and apoptosis level of nanocarrier-treated cells were higher than those of nanocarriers (folic acid free) and free DOX-treated cells in both cell lines. Therefore, this targeted nanocarrier may offer a promising nanosystem for cancer-combined chemotherapy and hyperthermia.

Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of liposomal arthrocen 2% (ROCEN) on the healing of burn wound and pain alleviation of thermal stimuli in a rat model of the second-degree burn. The results showed that ROCEN formulation significantly improved the main parameters of burn wound healing in a short period of time (7 days). The percentage of wound surface was also reduced significantly compared with the control group following once daily application of ROCEN for 14 days. The level of TGF (transforming growth factor)-β1 cytokine was also elevated significantly in the burn tissue treated with ROCEN almost the same as zinc oxide cream. Also, ROCEN showed a significant analgesic effect evaluated by 2 models of acute thermal pain, tail-flick and hotplate tests, which suggested that the formulation may act as a pain reliever in burn injuries. In conclusion, the application of the topical formulation of ROCEN may have benefits in the acceleration of the wound healing process and alleviation of the pain due to burn injuries.

The antimicrobial activities of AgSD-NLs@Cur-mediated antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) were determined. Histopathological examination of the burn wound sites of infected mice treated with photoexcited AgSD-NLs@Cur was assessed. Results: No significant cytotoxic and hemolytic activities were observed. There was a decrease in the Acinetobacter baumannii count in planktonic and biofilm forms and the gene expression level using AgSD-NLs@Cur-aPDT (p < 0.05). Histopathological analysis indicated the epidermis developed markedly and the bacterial load decreased significantly after aPDT. Conclusion: Photoexcited AgSD-NLs@Cur has an antimicrobial potential against A. baumannii.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of topical application of nanoliposomal avocado/soybean unsaponifiables (NANOCEN) on inflammation inhibition and pain relief in mice. NANOCEN was prepared by the injection method and characterized for vesicle size, charge, entrapment efficiency, in vitro release, and 1-month vesicle stability. The analysis of ASU formulation showed that liposomes had an average size of around 146 nm with a surface charge of - 43 mV. SEM and TEM imaging confirmed the spherical shape of the nanovesicles in ASU formulation. Moreover, ASU nanoliposomes had a high entrapment efficiency (96%) and exhibited significantly (p < 0.0001) sustained release of the drug in vitro model. The topical NANOCEN (ASU 2%) showed robust anti-inflammatory (p < 0.01) and analgesic effect (p < 0.01) superior to ibuprofen 5%. The histopathology of the inflamed tissues confirmed that the topical ASU formulation potentially (p < 0.001) inhibited infiltration of inflammatory cells. Our findings suggest that the topical formulation of NANOCEN may have local applications for pain relief in medicine.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the antibiofilm effect and esp gene downregulation of Enterococcus faecalis through nanozinc oxide fabricated on natural zeolite (NanoZnO/Ze). Materials & methods:Zeolite and NanoZnO/Ze materials were characterized by x-ray diffraction, x-ray fluorescence and field emission scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive x-ray. Atomic absorption spectroscopy was used to evaluate zinc release. E. faecalis biofilm formation and its esp gene expression were assessed under nanocomposite treatment. RESULTS Spherical-shaped ZnO nanoparticles with an average size of 30 nm were dispersed on the zeolites surface. The leakage of cationic zinc from NanoZnO/Ze displayed a long lasting and considerable release content (p < 0.0001) compared with ZnO/Ze. NanoZnO/Ze effectively inhibited (p < 0.0001) biofilm formation and affected esp gene downregulation of E. faecalis. CONCLUSION Our results show that NanoZnO/Zeolite can potentiate against biofilm infections due to E. faecalis and possibly other pathogens.
