Carbohydr Polym 2024; 342:122355. [PMID: 39048218 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.122355] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2023] [Revised: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
The application of cellulose derivatives including carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), polyanionic cellulose (PAC), hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) has gained enormous interest, especially as environmentally friendly additives for water-based drilling fluids (WBDFs). This is due to their sustainable, biodegradable, and biocompatible nature. Furthermore, cellulose nanomaterials (CNMs), which include both CNFs and CNCs, possess unique properties such as nanoscale dimensions, a large surface area, as well as unique mechanical, thermal, and rheological performance that makes them stand out as compared to other additives used in WBDFs. The high surface hydration capacity, strong interaction with bentonite, and the presence of a complex network within the structure of CNMs enable them to act as efficient rheological modifiers in WBDFs. Moreover, the nano-size dimension and facilely tunable surface chemistry of CNMs make them suitable as effective fluid loss reducers as well as shale inhibitors as they have the ability to penetrate, absorb, and plug the nanopores within the exposed formation and prevent further penetration of water into the formation. This review provides an overview of recent progress in the application of cellulose derivatives, including CMC, PAC, HEC, CNFs, and CNCs, as additives in WBDFs. It begins with a discussion of the structure and synthesis of cellulose derivatives, followed by their specific application as rheological, fluid loss reducer, and shale inhibition additives in WBDFs. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives are outlined to guide further research and development in the effective utilization of cellulose derivatives as additives in WBDFs.

Abstract
The emergence of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria, especially in agents associated with urinary tract infections (UTIs), has initiated an exciting effort to develop biocompatible nanoparticles to confront their threat. Designing simple, cheap, biocompatible, and efficient nanomaterials as bactericidal agents seems to be a judicious response to this problem. Here, a solvothermal method was hired for the one-pot preparation of the cellulose gum (carboxymethyl cellulose, CMC) magnetic composite to prepare a cost-effective, efficient, and biocompatible support for the plant-based stabilization of the silver NPs. The green stabilization of the Ag NPs is performed using Euphorbia plant extract with high efficiency. Various characterization methods, including FT-IR, XRD, SEM, EDS, TEM, and VSM were used to study the composition and properties of Fe3O4@CMC/AgNPs. The composite shows well integrity and monodispersity with a mean diameter of <300 nm, indicating its potential for bio-related application. The CMC functionalities of the proposed material facilitated the stabilization of the Ag NPs, resulting in their monodispersity and enhanced performance. The manufactured composite was used as an antibacterial agent for the removal of UTIs agents, collected from 200 hospitalized patients with acute coronary syndrome, which showed promising results. This study showed that the concentration of the Ag NPs has a direct relationship with the antibacterial properties of the composite.

Multiple strategies approach: A novel crosslinked hydrogel forming chitosan-based microneedles chemowrap patch loaded with 5-fluorouracil liposomes for chronic wound cancer treatment. Int J Biol Macromol 2024:134973. [PMID: 39182897 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134973] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2024] [Revised: 07/27/2024] [Accepted: 08/20/2024] [Indexed: 08/27/2024]
Abstract
Untreated or poorly managed chronic wounds can progress to skin cancer. Topically applied 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), a nonspecific cytostatic agent, can cause various side effects. Its high polarity also results in low cell membrane affinity and bioavailability. Hydrogel, used for its occlusive effect, is one platform for treating chronic wounds combined with PEGylated liposomes (LPs), developed to increase drug-skin affinity. This research aimed to develop a novel hydrogel forming chitosan-based microneedles (HFM) chemowrap patch containing 5-FU PEGylated LPs, improving 5-FU efficiency for pre-carcinogenic and carcinogenic skin lesions. The results indicated that the 5-FU-PEGylated LPs-loaded HFM chemowrap patch exhibited desirable physical and mechanical characteristics with complete penetration ability. Furthermore, in vivo skin permeation studies demonstrated the highest percentage of 5-FU permeated the skin (42.06 ± 11.82 %) and skin deposition (75.90 ± 1.13 %) compared to the other treatments, with demonstrated superior percentages of complete wound healing in in vivo (47.00 ± 5.77 % wound healing at day 7) and in NHF cells (92.79 ± 7.15 % at 48 h). Furthermore, 5-FU-PEGylated LPs-loaded HFM chemowrap patches exhibit efficient anticancer activity while maintaining safety for normal cells. The results also show that the developed formulation of a 5-FU-PEGylated LPs-loaded HFM chemowrap patch could enhance apoptosis higher than that of the 5-FU solution. Consequently, 5-FU PEGylated LPs-loaded HFM chemowrap patch represented a promising drug delivery approach for treating pre-carcinogenic and carcinogenic skin lesions.

The effect of polysaccharide type on dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma glycosylation of sodium caseinate-part I: Physicochemical, structural and thermal properties. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 278:135061. [PMID: 39182866 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.135061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2024] [Revised: 07/03/2024] [Accepted: 08/23/2024] [Indexed: 08/27/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the impact of polysaccharide type on the physicochemical, structural, and thermal properties of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma glycosylated sodium caseinate (SC). The polysaccharides Quince seed gum (QSG), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and maltodextrin (MD) were mixed with SC and treated with DBD plasma at 18 kV for 10 min. The grafting degree, electrophoresis pattern, FTIR, XRD, carbonyl, sulfhydryl, and di-tyrosine content, FE-SEM, color, and thermal properties of SC and its polysaccharide mixtures before and after plasma treatment were analyzed. Results showed that the SC-QSG conjugate had the highest glycation degree and color change after plasma treatment. The SC-CMC and SC-QSG conjugates exhibited disappearance of distinct SC bands in electrophoresis pattern compared to SC. Also, significant changes in functional group and crystallinity were occurred in SC-CMC conjugate. Plasma treatment caused oxidation of SC, but the presence of polysaccharides offered protection against oxidation. The microstructure of SC was altered by mixing with polysaccharides and exposure to plasma. Also, the mixtures indicates higher thermal stability after plasma treatment. Results confirmed that the generation of protein-polysaccharide conjugates through DBD plasma technique was depended on with SC-MD conjugate unable to form through this method.

Carboxymethyl cellulose-based rotigotine nanocrystals-loaded hydrogel for increased transdermal delivery with alleviated skin irritation. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 338:122197.

Abstract
Transdermal rotigotine (RTG) therapy is prescribed to manage Parkinson's disease (Neupro® patch). However, its use is suffered from application site reactions. Herein, drug nanocrystalline suspension (NS)-loaded hydrogel (NS-HG) employing polysaccharides simultaneously as suspending agent and hydrogel matrix was constructed for transdermal delivery, with alleviated skin irritation. RTG-loaded NS-HG was prepared using a bead-milling technique, employing sodium carboxylmethyl cellulose (Na.CMC) as nano-suspending agent (molecular weight 90,000 g/mol) and hydrogel matrix (700,000 g/mol), respectively. NS-HG was embodied as follows: drug loading: ≤100 mg/mL; shape: rectangular crystalline; crystal size: <286.7 nm; zeta potential: -61 mV; viscosity: <2.16 Pa·s; and dissolution rate: >90 % within 15 min. Nuclear magnetic resonance analysis revealed that the anionic polymers bind to RTG nanocrystals via charge interaction, affording uniform dispersion in the matrix. Rodent transdermal absorption of RTG from NS-HG was comparable to that from microemulsions, and proportional to drug loading. Moreover, NS-HG was skin-friendly; erythema and epidermal swelling were absent after repeated application. Further, NS-HG was chemically stable; >95 % of the drug was preserved up to 4 weeks under long term (25 °C/RH60%), accelerated (40 °C/RH75%), and stress (50 °C) storage conditions. Therefore, this novel cellulose derivative-based nanoformulation presents a promising approach for effective transdermal RTG delivery with improved tolerability.

Abstract
The rising demand for food packaging has led to a growing interest in sustainable and eco-friendly food coatings. Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), being a versatile cellulose derivative produced from various lignocellulosic sources, has emerged in edible food coatings. This review evaluates the research trends on CMC production from empty fruit bunch (EFB) as a potential edible food coating material by systematic review approach. It explores sustainable pre-treatment for green cellulose and different CMC synthesis methods. The review compares CMC-based coatings to other materials, focusing on formulation processes, coating quality, safety, and commercial feasibility. The bibliometric analysis is performed to correlate food coating and CMC. As a result, the study discovered the rapid growth in research on edible food coatings made from CMC for various food industry applications. The green approach such as ozone pre-treatment appear as promising method for cellulose isolation from EFB to be used as raw material for CMC. The synthesis conditions of the treatment would affect the CMC characteristics and usage. Herein, utilizing CMC from cellulose EFB in coating formulation and on coated food shows different benefits. This review provides a road map for future research with potential to make important contributions to the food industry's long-term evolution.

Abstract
Polyelectrolyte-based ionic-junction fibers newly serve as signal transmission and translation media between electronic devices and biological systems, facilitating ion transport within organic matrices. In this work, we fabricated gel filaments of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) chelated with Cu(II) ions through wet-spinning, using a saturated coagulant of CuSO4. Interestingly, the as-spun fibers exhibited dramatic 3D porous frameworks that varied with the temperature and precursor concentration. At 20 °C, the Cu(II) chelation networks favored the formation of well-organized cellular chambers or corrugated channels, displaying dense stacking patterns. However, critical transitions from cellular chambers to corrugated channels occurred at precursor dope concentrations of approximately 2 and 7 wt %, with the porous structure diminishing beyond 8 wt %. We have proposed schematic diagrams to mimic the 3D pore structure, dense porous stacking, and formation mechanism, according to electronic micrographs. Our investigations revealed that the distinct ion-junction channels or chambers are under the control of axial drawing extension as well as the outside-inside penetration of Cu(II) ions into the dope and inside-outside diffusion of water into coagulants. Therefore, controlling the metal chelation-water diffusion process at specific temperatures and concentrations will offer valuable insights for tailoring ionic-junction soft filaments with gradient hierarchically porous structures and shape memory properties.

Abstract
Patient-specific fabrication of scaffold/implant requires an engineering approach to manufacture the ideal scaffold. Herein, we design and 3D print scaffolds comprised of polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) and sodium-carboxymethyl cellulose (Na-CMC). The fabricated scaffold was dip coated with Zn and Mn doped bioactive glass nanoparticles (Zn-Mn MBGNs). The synthesized ink exhibit suitable shear-thinning behavior for direct ink write (DIW) 3D printing. The scaffolds were crafted with precision, featuring 85% porosity, 0.3 mm layer height, and 1.5 mm/s printing speed at room temperature. Scanning electron microscopy images reveal a well-defined scaffold with an average pore size of 600 ± 30 μm. The energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis confirmed a well dispersed/uniform coating of Zn-Mn MBGNs on the PEEK/Na-CMC scaffold. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy approved the presence of PEEK, CMC, and Zn-Mn MBGNs. The tensile test revealed a Young's modulus of 2.05 GPa. Antibacterial assays demonstrate inhibition zone against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia Coli strains. Chick Chorioallantoic Membrane assays also present significant angiogenesis potential, owing to the antigenic nature of Zn-Mn MBGNs. WST-8 cell viability assays depicted cell proliferation, with a 103% viability after 7 days of culture. This study suggests that the PEEK/Na-CMC scaffolds coated with Zn-Mn MBGNs are an excellent candidate for osteoporotic fracture treatment. Thus, the fabricated scaffold can offer multifaceted properties for enhanced patient outcomes in the bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Skin could protect our body and regenerate itself to against dysfunctional and disfiguring scars when faced with external injury. As wound dressings, hydrogels are biocompatible, hydrophilic and have a 3D structure similar to the extracellular matrix (ECM). In particular, hydrogels with drug-releasing capabilities are in acute wound healing. In this paper, photocrosslinked hydrogels served as wound dressing based on sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) were prepared to promote wound healing. Photocrosslinked hydrogels were prepared by grafting lysine and allyl glycidyl ether (AGE) onto CMC and encapsulating curcumin (Cur). The synthesized hydrogels had the unique 3D porous structure with a swelling ratio up to 1300 % in aqueous solution. The drug release ratios of the hydrogels were 20.8 % in acid environment, and 14.4 % in alkaline environment. Notably, the hydrogels showed good biocompatibility and antibacterial properties and also exhibited the ability to accelerate the process of skin wound healing while prevent inflammation and scar formation when applied to a mouse skin wound model. As a result, the prepared hydrogels Gel-CLA@Cur showed great potential in wound healing.

Laponite-Modified Biopolymers as a Conformable Substrate for Optoelectronic Devices. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:31855-31863. [PMID: 39072077 PMCID: PMC11270560 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c03463] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2024] [Revised: 06/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
Biopolymers such as carboxymethyl cellulose and hyaluronic acid are alternative substrates for conformable organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). However, drawbacks such as mechanical stress susceptibility can hinder the device's performance under stretched conditions. To overcome these limitations, herein, we developed a nanocomposite based on CMC/HA (carboxymethyl cellulose/hyaluronic acid) and synthetic Laponite, intending to improve the mechanical strength without compromising the film flexibility and transparency (transmittance >80%; 380-700 nm) as substrates for conformable OLEDs. From XRD, FTIR, CP-MAS NMR, and TGA/DTG characterization techniques, it was possible to conclude the presence of Laponite randomly dispersed between the polymer chains. CMC/HA with 5% (w/w) Laponite, CMC/HA 5, presented a higher tensile strength (370.6 MPa) and comparable Young's modulus (51.0 ± 1.2 MPa) in comparison to the nanocomposites and pristine films, indicating a better candidate for the device's substrates. To produce the OLED, the multilayer structure ITO/MoO3/NPB/TCTA:Ir(ppy)3/TPBi:Ir(ppy)3/BPhen/LiF was deposited onto the CMC/HA 5 substrate. The OLEDs fabricated using CMC/HA 5 substrates showed higher luminance (12 kcd/m2) and irradiance (0.9 mW/cm2) values when compared with those based on commercial bacterial cellulose. However, the same device presented a lower efficiency (3.2 cd/A) due to a higher current density. Moreover, the OLED fabricated onto the Laponite-modified biopolymer presented reproducible behavior when submitted to continuous bending stress. Thus, CMC/HA 5 demonstrates potential as a transparent conductor substrate for biopolymer-based OLEDs with comparable performance to commercial bacterial cellulose features.

Abstract
This study presents a novel polymer nanocomposite based on carboxymethyl cellulose and β-cyclodextrin crosslinked with succinic acid (CMC-SA-β-CD) containing nickel cobaltite (NCO) nano-reinforcement. Various analytical techniques have been employed to investigate the structural, thermal, and morphological features of the resulting nanocomposite. The CMC-SA-β-CD/NCO nanocomposite has been utilized as an adsorbent for the removal of bisphenol-A (BPA, R% <40 %), malachite green (MG, R% > 75 %)), and Congo red (CR, no adsorption) from the synthetic wastewater. The study systematically explored the impact of various parameters on the adsorption process, and the interactions between MG and CMC-SA-β-CD/NCO were discussed. The adsorption data were fitted to different models to elucidate the kinetics and thermodynamics of the adsorption process. An artificial neural network (ANN) analysis was employed to train the experimental dataset for predicting adsorption outcomes. Despite a low BET surface area (0.798 m2 g-1), CMC-SA-β-CD/NCO was found to exhibit high MG adsorption capacity. CMC-SA-β-CD/NCO exhibited better MG adsorption performance at pH 5.5, 40 mg L-1 MG dye concentration, 170 min equilibrium time, 20 mg CMC-SA-β-CD/NCO dose with more than 90 % removal efficiency. Moreover, the thermodynamic studies suggest that the adsorption of MG was exothermic with ΔH° value -9.93 ± 0.76 kJ mol-1. The isotherm studies revealed that the Langmuir model was the best model to describe the adsorption of MG on CMC-SA-β-CD/NCO indicating monolayer surface coverage with Langmuir adsorption capacity of 182 ± 4 mg g-1. The energy of adsorption (11.4 ± 0.8 kJ mol-1) indicated chemisorption of MG on the composite surface. The kinetics studies revealed that the pseudo-first-order model best described the adsorption kinetics with q e = 86.7 ± 2.9 mg g-1. A good removal efficiency (>70 %) was retained after five regeneration reuse cycles. The ANN-trained data showed good linearity between predicted and actual data for the adsorption capacity (R-value>0.99), indicating the reliability of the prediction model. The developed nanocomposite, composed predominantly of biodegradable material, is facile to synthesize and exhibited excellent monolayer adsorption of MG providing a new sustainable adsorbent for selective MG removal.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Folic acid (FA), a synthetically produced compound analogous to vitamin B9, also referred to as vitamin folate, is an essential compound in human health and faces challenges in stability during food processing. This study explores the incorporation of FA into carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) nanofibers using electrospinning to enhance its stability. RESULTS In this study, optimization of both electrospinning and solution parameters facilitated the fabrication of nanofibers. Furthermore, incorporating FA into CMC/polyethylene oxide (PEO) nanofibers resulted in thinner fibers, with an average diameter of 88 nm, characterized by a flat shape and smooth surface. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analysis demonstrated substantial hydrogen bonding interactions between FA and the polar groups present in CMC. This interaction contributed to an encapsulation efficiency of 94.5%, with a yield exceeding 87%. Thermal analysis highlighted mutual interference between CMC and PEO, with FA enhancing the thermal stability and reducing the melting temperatures and enthalpies of PEO, while also increasing the reaction heats of CMC. The encapsulated FA remained stable in acidic conditions, with only 6% degradation over 30 days, demonstrating the efficacy of CMC/PEO nanofibers in safeguarding FA against acidic environments. Moreover, the nanofibers provided a protective barrier against UV radiation, thereby preserving the stability of FA. CONCLUSION This study emphasizes the efficacy of CMC/PEO nanofibers as a protective matrix against FA degradation. The findings indicate that this innovative approach could significantly diversify the applications of FA in food fortification, addressing concerns regarding its vulnerability to temperature and hydrolysis reactions during food processing. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with cystic fibrosis commonly suffer from lung infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Recently, the Levofloxacin (LVF) nebulizing solution (Quinsair®) has been prescribed for the antimicrobial management. The sustained-release (SR) dry powder formulation of LVF is a convenient alternative to Quinsair®. It has the potential to enhance patient convenience and decrease the likelihood of drug resistance over time. OBJECTIVE In this paper, we set forth to formulate and evaluate the potential application of sodium alginate (SA) and sodium carboxymethylcellulose (SCMC) for sustained pulmonary delivery of LVF. METHODS The spray-dried (SD) LVF microparticles were formulated using SCMC and SA along with L-leucine (Leu). The microparticles were analyzed in terms of particle size, morphology, x-ray diffraction (XRD), in-vitro drug release, and aerodynamic properties. Selected formulations were further proceeded to short-term stability test. RESULTS The polymer-containing samples displayed process yield of 33.31%-39.67%, mean entrapment efficiency of 89% and volume size within the range of 2-5 μm. All the hydrogel microparticles were amorphous and exhibited rounded morphology with surface indentations. Formulations with a drug-to-excipient ratio of 50:50 and higher, showed a 24-h SR. The aerodynamic parameters were fine particle fraction and emitted dose percentage ranging between 46.21%-60.6% and 66.67%-87.75%, respectively. The short-term stability test revealed that the formulation with a 50:50 drug-to-excipient ratio, containing SA, demonstrated better physical stability. CONCLUSION The selected formulation containing SA has the potential to extend the release duration. However, further enhancements are required to optimize its performance.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) are important in regulating plant tolerance to salt stress. Peppermint is one of the most widely used aromatic plants, with a high sensitivity to salt stress. The present study investigated physiological and biochemical factors to understand better the behavior of cinnamic acid (CA) and cinnamic acid nanocomposite in salinity control in peppermint plants. The first factor was salt stress with different salt concentrations, including 0, 50, 100, and 150 mg/L, the second factor was 50 μM CA, and the third factor was 50 μM CA nanocomposite based on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-CA NC). Results showed that stress markers increased with increasing salinity levels. On the contrary, plants treated with salinity showed a decrease in physiological and photosynthetic parameters, while the application of CA and CMC CA NC increased these critical parameters. Under salinity, compared to the control, malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide contents decreased by 11.3% and 70.4%, respectively. Furthermore, CA and CMC-CA NC enhanced peppermint tolerance to salinity by increasing compatible solute content such as proline, free amino acids, protein content, and soluble carbohydrates, increasing antioxidant enzymes, and decreasing stress markers in plant tissues. Compared to the control, chlorophyll fluorescence and proline content increased by 1.1% and 172.1%, respectively. Salinity stress negatively affected all physiological and biochemical parameters, but CA and CMC-CA NC treatments improved them. We concluded that the nanocomposite, a biostimulant, significantly enhances mint tolerance under salinity conditions.

Abstract
A novel self-gelatinizing powder was designed to accelerate wound healing through enhanced hemostasis and tissue recovery. Significantly, this research addresses the critical need for innovative wound management solutions by presenting a novel approach. Carboxymethylcellulose calcium (CMC-Ca) was synthesized using an ion exchange method, and lysine (Lys) was integrated through physical mixing to augment the material's functional characteristics. The prepared powder underwent comprehensive evaluation for its self-gelling capacity, gelation time, adhesion, swelling rate, coagulation efficiency, hemostatic effectiveness, and wound healing promotion. Results indicate that the self-gelatinizing powder exhibited remarkable water absorption capabilities, absorbing liquid up to 30 times its weight and achieving rapid coagulation within 3 min. The inclusion of Lys notably enhanced the powder's gel-forming properties. The gelation time was determined to be within 4 s using a rotational rheometer, with the powder rapidly forming a stable gel on the skin surface. Furthermore, in a mouse skin injury model, near-complete skin recovery was observed within 14 days, underscoring the powder's impressive self-healing attributes and promising application prospects in wound management.

Abstract
Wound dressing production represents an important segment in the biomedical healthcare field, but finding a simple and eco-friendly method that combines a natural compound and a biocompatible dressing production for biomedical application is still a challenge. Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop wound healing dressings that are environmentally friendly, low cost, and easily produced, using natural agents and a physical crosslinking technique. Hydrogel wound healing dressings were prepared from polyvinyl alcohol/carboxymethyl cellulose and sericin using the freeze-thawing method as a crosslinking method. The morphological characterization was carried out by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), whereas the mechanical analysis was carried out by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) to test the tensile strength and compression properties. Then, the healing property of the wound dressing material was tested by in vitro and ex vivo tests. The results show a three-dimensional microporous structure with no cytotoxicity, excellent stretchability with compressive properties similar to those of human skin, and excellent healing properties. The proposed hydrogel dressing was tested in vitro with HaCaT keratinocytes and ex vivo with epidermal tissues, demonstrating an effective advantage on wound healing acceleration. Accordingly, this study was successful in developing wound healing dressings using natural agents and a simple and green crosslinking method.

Abstract
Recently, there has been a focus on using biopolymer-based particles to stabilize high internal phase Pickering emulsions (HIPPEs) due to the notable advances in biocompatibility and biodegradability. In this work, the complex particles of peanut protein isolate and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with various substitution degrees (DS; 0.7 and 0.9) and weight average molecular weights (Mw; 90, 250, and 700 kDa) were prepared and characterized as novel stabilizers. For the obtained four types of morphologically distinct particles, the complex particles formed by CMC (0.9 DS and 250 kDa) showed cluster structures with an average size of 1.271 μm, equally biphasic wettability with three-phase contact angles of 91.5°, and the highest diffusion rate at the oil-water interface. HIPPEs stabilized by these particles exhibited more elastic behavior due to the smaller tanδ and higher viscosity, as well as excellent thixotropic recovery properties and stability against heating, storage, and freeze-thawing. Furthermore, confocal laser scanning microscopy verified that these particles formed a dense interfacial layer around the oil droplets, which could resist flocculation and coalescence between oil droplets during in vitro digestion. The improved bioaccessibility of curcumin-loaded HIPPEs made these delivery systems potentially apply in functional foods.

Abstract
Over the years, polysaccharides such as chitosan, alginate, hyaluronic acid, k-carrageenan, xanthan gum, carboxymethyl cellulose, pectin, and starch, alone or in combination with proteins and/or synthetic polymers, have been used to engineer an extensive portfolio of hydrogels with remarkable features. The application of polysaccharide-based hydrogels has the potential to alleviate challenges related to bioavailability, solubility, stability, and targeted delivery of phytocompounds, contributing to the development of innovative and efficient drug delivery systems and functional food formulations. This review highlights the current knowledge acquired on the preparation, features and applications of polysaccharide/phytocompounds hydrogel-based hybrid systems in wound management, drug delivery, functional foods, and food industry. The structural, functional, and biological requirements of polysaccharides and phytocompounds on the overall performance of such hybrid systems, and their impact on the application domains are also discussed.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology was able to generate great attention because of its unique methodology and for its major potential to manufacture detailed and customizable scaffolds in terms of size, shape and pore structure in fields like medicine, pharmaceutics and food. This study aims to fabricate an ink entirely composed of natural polymers, alginate, k-carrageenan and carboxymethyl cellulose (AkCMC). Extrusion-based 3D printing was used to obtain scaffolds based on a crosslinked interpenetrating polymer network from the alginate, k-carrageenan, carboxymethyl cellulose and glutaraldehide formulation using CaCl2, KCl and glutaraldehyde in various concentrations of acetic acid. The stabile bonding of the crosslinked scaffolds was assessed using infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) as well as swelling, degradation and mechanical investigations. Moreover, morphology analysis (µCT and SEM) confirmed the 3D printed samples' porous structure. In the AkCMC-GA objects crosslinked with the biggest acetic acid concentration, the values of pores and walls are the highest, at 3.9 × 10-2 µm-1. Additionally, this research proves the encapsulation of vitamin B1 via FT-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The highest encapsulation efficiency of vitamin B1 was registered for the AkCMC-GA samples crosslinked with the maximum acetic acid concentration. The kinetic release of the vitamin was evaluated by UV-Vis spectroscopy. Based on the results of these experiments, 3D printed constructs using AkCMC-GA ink could be used for soft tissue engineering applications and also for vitamin B1 encapsulation.

Abstract
With the increasing awareness of plastic pollution in the environment and the accumulation of microplastics in water, a significant amount of research and development is ongoing to replace the synthetic plastics in packaging and coatings. In this work, we explored the blends of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and washed cottonseed meal (CSM, consisting mostly of cottonseed protein) as agro-based, biodegradable, and sustainable alternatives to plastics. Glycerol was found to be a suitable plasticizer for these blends. The blends of CMC/CSM were produced as single-layer films from 50 to 90 μm in thickness, consisting of different proportions of the components and plasticizer. The evaluated properties included opacity, water vapor permeability, mechanical properties, thermogravimetric analysis, moisture sorption analysis, and water swelling test. Higher percentages of CSM in the blend resulted in higher opacity and lower water vapor permeation rates. The mechanical strength waned with lower levels of CMC. Possible applications for these blends include their use as water-soluble food packaging and coatings and as dissolvable bags and pouches for detergents and agrochemicals.

Abstract
Lewisite, a chemical warfare agent, causes skin blisters, erythema, edema, and inflammation, requiring mitigation strategies in case of accidental or deliberate exposure. 4-phenyl butyric acid (4-PBA), a chemical chaperone, reduces endoplasmic reticulum stress and skin inflammation. The study aimed to encapsulate 4-PBA in microsponges for effective, sustained delivery against lewisite injury. Porous microsponges in a topical gel would potentially sustain delivery and improve residence time on the skin. Microsponges were developed using the quasi-emulsion solvent diffusion method with Eudragit RS100. Optimized formulation showed 10.58%w/w drug loading was incorporated in a carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and Carbopol gel for in vitro release and permeation testing using dermatomed human skin. A sustained release was obtained from all vehicles in the release study, and IVPT results showed that compared to the control (41.52 ± 2.54 µg/sq.cm), a sustained permeation profile with a reduced delivery was observed for microsponges in PBS (14.16 ± 1.23 µg/sq.cm) along with Carbopol 980 gel (12.55 ± 1.41 µg/sq.cm), and CMC gel (10.09 ± 1.23 µg/sq.cm) at 24 h. Optimized formulation showed significant protection against lewisite surrogate phenyl arsine oxide (PAO) challenged skin injury in Ptch1+/-/SKH-1 hairless mice at gross and molecular levels. A reduction in Draize score by 29%, a reduction in skin bifold thickness by 8%, a significant reduction in levels of IL-1β, IL6, and GM-CSF by 54%, 30%, and 55%, respectively, and a reduction in apoptosis by 31% was observed. Thus, the translational feasibility of 4-PBA microsponges for effective, sustained delivery against lewisite skin injury is demonstrated.

Abstract
The rapid worldwide industrial growth in recent years has made water contamination by heavy metals a problem that requires an immediate solution. Several strategies have been proposed for the decontamination of wastewater in terms of heavy metal ions. Among these, methods utilizing adsorbent materials are preferred due to their cost-effectiveness, simplicity, effectiveness, and scalability for treating large volumes of contaminated water. In this context, heavy metal removal by hydrogels based on naturally occurring polymers is an attractive approach for industrial wastewater remediation as they offer significant advantages, such as an optimal safety profile, good biodegradability, and simple and low-cost procedures for their preparation. Hydrogels have the ability to absorb significant volumes of water, allowing for the effective removal of the dissolved pollutants. Furthermore, they can undergo surface chemical modifications which can further improve their ability to retain different environmental pollutants. This review aims to summarize recent advances in the application of hydrogels in the treatment of heavy metal-contaminated wastewater, particularly focusing on hydrogels based on cellulose and cellulose derivatives. The reported studies highlight how the adsorption properties of these materials can be widely modified, with a wide range of adsorption capacity for different heavy metal ions varying between 2.3 and 2240 mg/g. The possibility of developing new hydrogels with improved sorption performances is also discussed in the review, with the aim of improving their effective application in real scenarios, indicating future directions in the field.

Abstract
Orange concentrate (OC) is one of the main raw materials in the nonalcoholic beverage industry. Considering the difference in orange varieties, preserving its natural quality is essential to yield a product with favorable attributes and physical stability. Thus, the present study is aimed at assessing the effect of pectin, xanthan, and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) in a concentration range of 0-0.2% (w/v) along with mixing temperature on Brix, pH, acidity, density, turbidity, and viscosity of OC and at calculating the model equation for each attribute. The results showed that, except for CMC, the influence of concentration, type, and amount of hydrocolloid on pH changes was insignificant. Adding each hydrocolloid individually, in pairs, or threes reduced the density, and the measured density was lower at a mixing temperature of 4°C. Also, it was observed that mixing temperature was the only factor influencing turbidity, and the values were significantly lower at 80°C compared to 4°C. A significant interaction effect of xanthan concentration and mixing temperature on the Brix was observed. Adding hydrocolloids, except pectin, resulted in a significant (p < 0.05) increase in viscosity, and xanthan had the greatest effect on the viscosity. A suitable model was designed using pectin and xanthan, pectin and CMC, and all three gums, resulting in a final OC product with high stability and improved physical and chemical attributes. The optimized values for Brix, pH, acidity, density, turbidity, and OC viscosity were achieved using 0.08% pectin, 0.19% xanthan, and 0.08% CMC at 80°C mixing temperature.

Abstract
Despite extensive research in the literature, the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) via capping mechanisms remains incompletely understood. This study employs a mechanistic approach to unravel the underlying molecular interactions driving the capping process of biogenic vaterite CaCO3-Ag and explores their interactions with different polymer matrices. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to reveal the capping mechanisms, surface composition alterations, and vaterite polymorph transitions. The oxidation states of AgNPs exhibited distinct changes under different capping agents. The Ag3d spin-orbit splitting profiles revealed the coexistence of Ag+ and Ag0 within CaCO3-Ag, with a significant presence of Ag0 when poly(sodium 4-styrene sulfonate) was employed as the capping agent. Conversely, the use of carboxy methyl cellulose as the capping agent resulted in Ag+ dominance. XPS analysis illuminated the transformation of CaCO3 polymorphs from calcite to vaterite structure, which remained stable following embedding within polymer matrices. Integrating CaCO3-Ag microspheres into polymer matrices and investigating their surface characteristics represents a strategic step toward tailoring material properties for potential applications in active packaging and biomedicine.

Abstract
Polysaccharides from non-conventional sources, such as fruits, have gained significant attention recently. Aegle marmelos (Bael), a non-conventional fruit, is an excellent source of biologically active components with potential indigenous therapeutic and food applications. Apart from polyphenolic components, this is an excellent source of mucilaginous polysaccharides. Polysaccharides are one the major components of bael fruit, having a high amount of galactose and glucuronic acid, which contributes to its potential therapeutic properties. Therefore, this review emphasizes the conventional and emerging techniques of polysaccharide extraction from bael fruit. Insight into the attributes of polysaccharide components, their techno-functional properties, characterization of bael fruit polysaccharide, emulsifying properties, binding properties, reduction of hazardous dyes, application of polysaccharides in film formation, application of polysaccharide as a nanocomposite, and biological activities of bael fruit polysaccharides are discussed. This review also systematically overviews the relationship between extraction techniques, structural characteristics, and biological activities. Additionally, recommendations, future perspectives, and new valuable insight towards better utilization of bael fruit polysaccharide have been given importance, which can be promoted in the long term.

Abstract
Healing of complex wounds requires dressings that must, at least, not hinder and should ideally promote the activity of key healing cells, in particular fibroblasts. This in vitro study assessed the effects of three wound-dressings (a pure Ca2+ alginate: Algostéril®, a Ca2+ alginate + carboxymethylcellulose: Biatain alginate® and a polyacrylate impregnated with lipido-colloid matrix: UrgoClean®) on dermal fibroblast activity. The results showed the pure calcium alginate to be non-cytotoxic, whereas the other wound-dressings showed moderate to strong cytotoxicity. The two alginates stimulated fibroblast migration and proliferation, whereas the polyacrylate altered migration and had no effect on proliferation. The pure Ca2+ alginate significantly increased the TGF-β-induced fibroblast activation, which is essential to healing. This activation was confirmed by a significant increase in Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secretion and a higher collagen production. The other dressings reduced these fibroblast activities. The pure Ca2+ alginate was also able to counteract the inhibitory effect of NK cell supernatants on fibroblast migration. These in vitro results demonstrate that tested wound-dressings are not equivalent for fibroblast activation. Only Algostéril was found to promote all the fibroblast activities tested, which could contribute to its healing efficacy demonstrated in the clinic.

Sayanjali S, Lu Y, Howell K. Extraction and Characterization of Cellulose from Broccoli Stems as a New Biopolymer Source for Producing Carboxymethyl Cellulose Films. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE 2024; 2024:7661288. [PMID: 38680866 PMCID: PMC11052598 DOI: 10.1155/2024/7661288] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 03/07/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
The use of food and agricultural waste-derived carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) has become of interest due to their biodegradability and cost-effectiveness. In the current research, cellulose was extracted from broccoli stems to produce carboxymethyl cellulose using a carboxymethylation reaction via chloroacetic acid (CAA) and sodium hydroxide (5-10 M). The effects of different synthesis conditions on the degree of substitution (DS) and viscosity of the synthesized CMC powder were investigated. The mechanical properties, water vapor permeability (WVP), and colour of CMC films were also evaluated. The results showed that CMC with the highest DS value (0.60) and the highest viscosity of 0.5 Pa·s could be synthesized from broccoli stems at a concentration of 7.5 M NaOH and a cellulose-to-chloroacetic acid ratio of 1 : 1.2. At CMC concentration of 4 g/100 mL with 0.8 g/100 mL of glycerol, the films had the highest tensile strength (31.91 MPa), whereas with 1.2 g/100 mL glycerol, more flexible films with elongation at break of 27.56% were produced. CMC films with the highest WVP (7.87 × 103 gm2·mmHg-1/day) were made with 6 g/100 mL of CMC and 1.8 g/100 mL of glycerol. This research proposes a new source of cellulose to produce biodegradable packaging materials to initiate a practical basis for food waste reuse.

Abstract
Cellulose, the most abundant polymer on Earth, has been widely utilized in its nanoform due to its excellent properties, finding applications across various scientific fields. As the demand for nanocellulose continues to rise and its ease of use becomes apparent, there has been a significant increase in research publications centered on this biomaterial. Nanocellulose, in its different forms, has shown tremendous promise as a tissue engineered scaffold for regeneration and repair. Particularly, nanocellulose-based composites and scaffolds have emerged as highly demanding materials for both soft and hard tissue engineering. Medical practitioners have traditionally relied on collagen and its analogue, gelatin, for treating tissue damage. However, the limited mechanical strength of these biopolymers restricts their direct use in various applications. This issue can be overcome by making hybrids of these biopolymers with nanocellulose. This review presents a comprehensive analysis of the recent and most relevant publications focusing on hybrid composites of collagen and gelatin with a specific emphasis on their combination with nanocellulose. While bone and skin tissue engineering represents two areas where a majority of researchers are concentrating their efforts, this review highlights the use of nanocellulose-based hybrids in these contexts.

Abstract
Natural polymer-based adhesive hydrogels have garnered significant interest for their outstanding strength and versatile applications, in addition to being eco-friendly. However, the adhesive capabilities of purely natural products are suboptimal, which hampers their practical use. To address this, we engineered carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) surfaces with complementary bases, adenine (A) and thymine (T), to facilitate the self-assembly of adhesive hydrogels (CMC-AT) with a nanofiber configuration. Impressively, the shear adhesive strength reached up to 6.49 MPa with a mere 2% adhesive concentration. Building upon this innovation, we conducted a comparative analysis of the shear adhesion properties between CMC and CMC-AT hydrogel adhesives when applied to delignified and non-delignified wood chips. We examined the interplay between the adhesives and the substrate, as well as the role of mechanical interlocking in overall adhesion performance. Our findings offer a fresh perspective on the development of new biodegradable polymer hydrogel adhesives.

Abstract
The extracellular environment regulates the structures and functions of cells, from the molecular to the tissue level. However, the underlying mechanisms influencing the organization and adaptation of cancer in three-dimensional (3D) environments are not yet fully understood. In this study, the influence of the viscosity of the environment is investigated on the mechanical adaptability of human hepatoma cell (HepG2) spheroids in vitro, using 3D microcapsule reactors formed with droplet-based microfluidics. To mimic the environment with different mechanical properties, HepG2 cells are encapsulated in alginate core-shell reservoirs (i.e., microcapsules) with different core viscosities tuned by incorporating carboxymethylcellulose. The significant changes in cell and spheroid distribution, proliferation, and cytoskeleton are observed and quantified. Importantly, changes in the expression and distribution of F-actin and keratin 8 indicate the relation between spheroid stiffness and viscosity of the surrounding medium. The increase of F-actin levels in the viscous medium can indicate an enhanced ability of tumor cells to traverse dense tissue. These results demonstrate the ability of cancer cells to dynamically adapt to the changes in extracellular viscosity, which is an important physical cue regulating tumor development, and thus of relevance in cancer biology.

Abstract
Healing chronic and critical-sized full-thickness wounds is a major challenge in the healthcare sector. Scaffolds prepared using electrospinning and hydrogels serve as effective treatment options for wound healing by mimicking the native skin microenvironment. Combining synthetic nanofibers with tunable hydrogel properties can effectively overcome limitations in skin scaffolds made only with nanofibers or hydrogels. In this study, a biocompatible hybrid scaffold was developed for wound healing applications using poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) nanofibers embedded with hydrogel made of 2 % carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) blended with 1 % agarose. Hybrid scaffolds, characterized for surface morphology, swellability, porosity, and degradation, were found to be suitable for wound healing. Furthermore, the incorporation of CMC-agarose hydrogel into nanofibers significantly enhanced their mechanical strength compared to PHBV nanofibers alone (p < 0.05). Extract cytotoxicity and direct cytotoxicity tests showed that the hybrid scaffolds developed in this study are cytocompatible (>75 % viability). Furthermore, human adult dermal fibroblasts (HDFa) and human adult immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT) adhesion, viability, and proliferation studies revealed that the hybrid scaffolds exhibited a significant increase in cell proliferation over time, similar to PHBV nanofibers. Finally, the developed hybrid scaffolds were evaluated in rat full-thickness wounds, demonstrating their ability to promote full-thickness wound healing with reepithelialization and epidermis closure.

Abstract
Lignin has been overlooked and used as a waste for long due to its complex and partially hydrophobic structure. Many efforts have been carried out to overcome these deficiencies and apply it as a high-value product, which are insufficient to reach the full potential of lignin in various advanced applications, since they require with procedures for the obtaining of more specific and fine-tuned chemical structures. This work focuses on the obtaining of differently structured hydrophilic lignins derived both from Kraft and organosolv isolation processes. The chemical structures of the different lignin types were studied, and the effect of the structural differences in the modification processes and their subsequent properties analyzed, valorizing their potential application for diverse purposes. The carboxymethylation and sulfomethylation reactions were carried out with the aim of enhancing the polarity of the lignin samples, while the methylation reaction aimed to obtain lignins with higher stability. The physicochemical analyses of the samples, carried out by FTIR, GPC, 31P NMR, 13C NMR, and HSQC NMR, verified the effectiveness of the chemical reactions and conditions selected, obtaining lignins with lower hydroxyl content, due to their substitution and insertion of carboxymetyl, sulfomethyl and methyl groups, therefore obtaining more condensed, aromatic and oxygenated aromatic carbon structures. While the methylation reaction was the most efficient in substituting the OH groups, due to its non-selectivity, OL showed higher modification yields than KL. In terms of the thermal and morphological properties, analyzed by DLS and TGA respectively, it was observed that the modified samples showed lower Z potential values, along with higher conductivity, being the sulfomethylated organosolv lignin the one showing the best results, which was also the one with the smallest particle size and polydispersity index. Finally, all the modified samples showed higher T50% values, suggesting a better stability towards degradation.

Abstract
Injectable materials have attracted great attention in the manufacture of in situ forming hydrogels for biomedical applications. In this study, a facile method to prepare methacrylic anhydride (MA)-modified sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as an injectable material for the fabrication of hydrogels with controllable properties is reported. The chemical structure of the series of MA-grafted CMC (CMCMAs) with different MA contents was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and the properties of CMCMAs were characterized. Then, the CMCMAs gel (CMCMAs-G) was fabricated by crosslinking of MA under blue light irradiation. The gelation performances, swelling behaviors, transmittance, surface porous structures and mechanical properties of CMCMAs-G can be controlled by varying the content of MA grafted on the CMC. The compressive strength of CMCMAs-G was measured by mechanical compressibility tests and up to 180 kPa. Furthermore, the in vitro cytocompatibility evaluation results suggest that the obtained CMCMAs-G exhibit good compatibility for cell proliferation. Hence, our strategy provides a facile approach for the preparation of light-sensitive and an injectable CMC-derived polymer to fabricate hydrogels for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Controlled drug delivery is a key strategy aimed at reducing both the frequency of therapeutic dosages and potential systemic side effects, particularly in the case of high drug concentrations. The nanocomposite hydrogel systems presented in this study were synthesized by combining carboxymethyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, and (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane-functionalized halloysite nanotubes (fHNTs). This hydrogel system is a potential candidate for the controlled release of cefadroxil monohydrate. These hydrogels are analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and rheological measurements. Additionally, swelling properties, porosity, hydrophilicity, drug release, and in vitro and in vivo analyses were also evaluated. The observed trends in swelling and drug release demonstrated that the outcomes are dependent on the presence of fHNTs in the hydrogel matrix. Notably, fHNTs-loaded hydrogels displayed sustained drug release patterns. This innovative approach eliminates the need for traditional encapsulation and presents promising and translatable strategies for achieving more effective drug release.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have permeated numerous scientific and technological fields, and have gained growing importance over the past decades also in the preservation of Cultural Heritage. After a critical overview of the main nanomaterials adopted in art preservation, we provide new insights into some highly relevant gels, which constitute valuable tools to selectively remove dirt or other unwanted layers from the surface of works of art. In particular, the recent "twin-chain" gels, obtained by phase separation of two different PVAs and freeze-thawing, were considered as the most performing gel systems for the cleaning of Cultural Heritage. Three factors are crucial in determining the final gel properties, i.e., pore size, pore connectivity, and surface roughness, which belong to the micro/nanodomain. The pore size is affected by the molecular weight of the phase-separating PVA polymer, while pore connectivity and tortuosity likely depend on interconnections formed during gelation. Tortuosity greatly impacts on cleaning capability, as the removal of matter at the gel-target interface increases with the uploaded fluid's residence time at the interface (higher tortuosity produces longer residence). The gels' surface roughness, adaptability and stickiness can also be controlled by modulating the porogen amount or adding different polymers to PVA. Finally, PVA can be partially replaced with different biopolymers yielding gels with enhanced sustainability and effective cleaning capability, where the selection of the biopolymer affects the gel porosity and effectiveness. These results shed new light on the effect of micro/nanoscale features on the cleaning performances of "twin-chain" and composite gels, opening new horizons for advanced and "green"/sustainable gel materials that can impact on fields even beyond art preservation, like drug-delivery, detergency, food industry, cosmetics and tissue engineering.

The current research aimed to develop a syrup formulation containing green bean pod extract for anti-urolithiatic activity. The syrup was prepared using a simple blending method and optimized through a central composite design (CCD) with two independent variables: the ratio of pod juice (PJ) to sugar solution (SS) ranging from 1:0.5 to 1:1.5, and the percentage of CMC from 0.2% to 0.4% w/v. These variables were analyzed for their impact on viscosity (CP) and sedimentation percentage, helping to identify the best formulation out of 13 variants. The finalized formulation (F-opt) underwent assessment for physicochemical characteristics such as organoleptic properties, viscosity, density, sedimentation rate, and stability. Additionally, a microbiological assessment was performed utilizing the spread plate method. Further, it was evaluated for in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo anti-urolithiatic activity in rat models for 28 days and compared with that of the reference standard (Cystone syrup). Additionally, acute toxicity was assessed in albino Swiss mice. Histopathological evaluations were then conducted on the kidneys of the Wistar rats that had been used for the in vivo studies, providing insight into the treatment effects on kidney tissue structure. The optimized formulation (F-opt) was a green, viscous, clear syrup with a pH of 5.8, a viscosity of 256.38 CP, a density of 1.31 g/ml, and a sedimentation rate of 0.69%. The optimized formulation was found to be stable, showing no significant changes in physicochemical and microbiological properties. The results of the in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo anti-urolithiatic studies indicated that the optimized formulation effectively inhibited the aggregation of calcium oxalate. The acute toxicity studies revealed no mortality or adverse effects for both the optimized formulation and pure bean pod juice at a dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Histopathological examination revealed that rats treated with the optimized formulation exhibited a significant reduction in both the number and size of calcium oxalate deposits within various parts of the renal tubules. It can be concluded that the syrupy formulation of Phaseolus vulgaris L. green bean pod extract demonstrated significant anti-urolithiatic activity. This activity could be due to its diuretic properties and its ability to inhibit the formation of calcium oxalate crystals. However, limitations of the study included a lack of elucidation of the mechanism and limited generalizability of the findings.

Abstract
We conducted a series of experimental investigations to generate laser-stimulated millimeter bubbles (MBs) around silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and thoroughly examined the mechanism of bubble formation within this nanocomposite system. One crucial aspect we explored was the lifetime and kinetics of these bubbles, given that bubbles generated by plasmonic nanoparticles are known to be transient with short durations. Surprisingly, our findings revealed that the achieved lifetime of these MBs extended beyond seven days. This impressive longevity far surpasses what has been reported in the existing literature. Further analysis of the experimental data uncovered a significant correlation between bubble volume and its lifetime. Smaller bubbles demonstrated longer lifetimes compared to larger ones, which provided valuable insights for future applications. The experimental results not only confirmed the validity of our model and simulations but also highlighted essential characteristics, including extended lifetime, matching absorption coefficients, adherence to physical boundary conditions, and agreement with simulated system parameters. Notably, we generated these MBs around functionalized AgNPs in a biocompatible nanocomposite medium by utilizing low-power light excitation. By readily binding potent cancer drugs to AgNPs through simple physical mixing, these medications can be securely encapsulated within bubbles and precisely guided to targeted locations within the human body. This capability to deliver drugs directly to the tumor site, while minimizing contact with healthy tissues, can lead to improved treatment outcomes and reduced side effects, significantly enhancing the quality of life for cancer patients.

Abstract
Organic dye pollution from textiles and other industries presents a substantial risk to people and aquatic life. The use of photocatalysis to decolorize water using the strength of UV light is one of the most important remediation techniques. In the present study, a novel nanocomposites hydrogel including carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), acrylic acid (AAc), Zinc oxide (ZnO), and silver (Ag) nanoparticles was produced using an eco-friendly γ-irradiation technique for photocatalytic decolorization applications. ZnO and Ag nanoparticles were distributed in the CMC/AAc hydrogel matrix without significant aggregation. SEM, XRD, EDX, TEM, and FTIR analyses were used to assess the physicochemical characteristics of the nanocomposite samples. Carboxymethyl cellulose/acrylic acid/Zinc oxide doped silver (CMC/PAAc/ZnO@Ag) nanocomposite hydrogels were developed and utilized in the photocatalytic decolorization of the lerui acid brilliant blue dye (LABB) when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV- Vis spectrophotometry was utilized to analyze the optical properties of the produced nanostructure. Regarding the decolorization of the LABB, the impacts of operational variables were investigated. The optimum conditions for decolorization (93 %) were an initial concentration of 50 mg/L, pH = 4, catalyst dosage of 50 g/L, and exposure time of 90 min. The results illustrated that the LABB acidic dye from wastewater was remarkably decolored.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive hydrogels have emerged as a highly promising strategy for effective anticancer therapy owing to the remotely controlled release of chemotherapeutic molecules with minimal invasive manner. In this study, novel NIR-responsive hydrogels were developed from reactive oxygen species (ROS)-cleavable thioketal cross-linkers which possessed terminal tetrazine groups to undergo a bio-orthogonal inverse electron demand Diels Alder click reaction with norbornene modified carboxymethyl cellulose. The hydrogels were rapidly formed under physiological conditions and generated N2 gas as a by-product, which led to the formation of porous structures within the hydrogel networks. A NIR dye, indocyanine green (ICG) and chemotherapeutic doxorubicin (DOX) were co-encapsulated in the porous network of the hydrogels. Upon NIR-irradiation, the hydrogels showed spatiotemporal release of encapsulated DOX (>96 %) owing to the cleavage of thioketal bonds by interacting with ROS generated from ICG, whereas minimal release of encapsulated DOX (<25 %) was observed in the absence of NIR-light. The in vitro cytotoxicity results revealed that the hydrogels were highly cytocompatible and did not induce any toxic effect on the HEK-293 cells. In contrast, the DOX + ICG-encapsulated hydrogels enhanced the chemotherapeutic effect and effectively inhibited the proliferation of Hela cancer cells when irradiated with NIR-light.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease is a neurological disorder that causes increased memory loss, mood swings, behavioral disorders, and disruptions in daily activities. Polymer scaffolds for the brain have been grown under laboratory, physiological, and pathological circumstances because of the limitations of conventional treatments for patients with central nervous system diseases. The blood-brain barrier prevents medications from entering the brain, challenging AD treatment. Numerous biomaterials such as biomolecules, polymers, inorganic metals, and metal oxide nanoparticles have been used to transport therapeutic medicines into the nervous system. Incorporating biocompatible materials that support neurogenesis through a combination of topographical, pharmacological, and mechanical stimuli has also shown promise for the transfer of cells to replenish dopaminergic neurons. Components made of naturally occurring biodegradable polymers are appropriate for the regeneration of nerve tissue. The ability of natural-based materials (biomaterials) has been shown to promote endogenous cell development after implantation. Also, strategic functionalization of polymeric nanocarriers could be employed for treating AD. In particular, nanoparticles could resolve Aβ aggregation and thus help cure Alzheimer's disease. Drug moieties can be effectively directed to the brain by utilizing nano-based systems and diverse colloidal carriers, including hydrogels and biodegradable scaffolds. Notably, early investigations employing neural stem cells have yielded promising results, further emphasizing the potential advancements in this field. Few studies have fully leveraged the combination of cells with cutting-edge biomaterials. This study provides a comprehensive overview of prior research, highlighting the pivotal role of biomaterials as sophisticated drug carriers. It delves into various intelligent drug delivery systems, encompassing pH and thermo-triggered mechanisms, polymeric and lipid carriers, inorganic nanoparticles, and other vectors. The discussion synthesizes existing knowledge and underscores the transformative impact of these biomaterials in devising innovative strategies, augmenting current therapeutic methodologies, and shaping new paradigms in the realm of Alzheimer's disease treatment.

Abstract
The study aimed to develop a novel temperature and pressure dual-responsive conductive hydrogel with self-healing, self-adhesive, biocompatible, and stretchable properties, for the development of multifunctional anti-counterfeiting and wearable flexible electronic materials. A conductive hydrogel based on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) was synthesized by simple "one pot" free radical polymerization of CMC, acrylamide (AAm) and acrylic acid (AAc). The hydrogel displayed temperature responsiveness and possessed an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) value. In addition, hydrogels also had surprising pressure responsiveness. The synthesized hydrogels were characterized by FTIR, TGA, DSC, and XRD analysis. Importantly, the obtained hydrogels exhibited exceptional mechanical properties (stress: 730 kPa, strain: 880%), fatigue resistance, stretchability, self-healing capability, self-adhesive properties, and conductivity. In addition, valuable insights were obtained into the synthesis and application of flexible anti-counterfeiting and camouflage materials by the temperature and pressure dual-responsive hydrogels. Moreover, the prepared hydrogel, with an electrically sensitive perception of external strain (GF = 2.61, response time: 80 ms), can be utilized for monitoring human movement, emotional changes, physiological signals, language, and more, rendering it suitable for novel flexible anti-counterfeiting materials and versatile wearable iontronics. Overall, this study provided novel insights into the simple and efficient synthesis and sustainable manufacturing of environmentally friendly multifunctional anti-counterfeiting materials and flexible electronic skin sensors.

Abstract
Two new water-soluble cellulose derivatives were prepared by a two-step transformation with 1,3-propane sultone, followed by either maleic or succinic anhydride, thereby converting cellulose into a more easily processable form. It was found that the solubility was dependent on both the degree of substitution and the chemical properties of the substituents. The water-soluble cellulose has a molecular weight greater than 100 000 g mol-1 and both the morphology and molecular weight can be tuned by varying the reaction conditions. Furthermore, the flexible, two-step nature of the process allows for expansion of this methodology in order to prepare cellulose analogues for different applications.

Abstract
The growth factor Anterior Gradient 2 (AGR2) has been shown to have an effective role in tissue regeneration, but remained largely unexplored in localized tissue engineering applications. Alginate beads have been proven as safe carriers for protein encapsulation, but they suffer from fragility and uncontrolled protein release. For such alginate systems, little is known about how changes in concentrations and ion-crosslinking affect protein release and accumulation in 3-D matrices. To address these questions, an engineered interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) has been used to synthesize a novel hybrid system consisting of AGR2 loaded beads composed of calcium-crosslinked sodium alginate (SA) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). These beads are embedded in films consisting of SA and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), using a simple ion gelation technique. We assess protein release kinetics and accumulation within the hybrid system by varying polymer concentrations and cross-linking parameters. The IPN hybrid system maintains controlled release over two weeks, without an initial burst period. Through this approach efficicnt delivery of AGR2 is achieved which in turn effectively mediates cell migration and proliferation, resulting in excellent cell viability and complete wound closure. The described release system opens new perspectives in tissue engineering.

Abstract
Dry eye disease (DED) is a highly prevalent and debilitating condition. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan that has a long history as a safe and effective DED treatment. HA is frequently used as a comparator when assessing other topical DED treatments. This study aims to summarise and critically evaluate the literature describing all isolated active ingredients that have been directly compared with HA in the treatment of DED. A literature search was conducted in Embase using Ovid on the 24th of August 2021 and in PubMed including MEDLINE on the 20th of September 2021. Twenty-three studies met the inclusion criteria, 21 of which were randomised controlled trials. Seventeen different ingredients representing six treatment categories were compared with HA treatment. Most measures showed no significant difference between treatments, suggesting either equivalency of treatments or that studies were underpowered. Only two ingredients were represented in more than two studies; carboxymethyl cellulose treatment appears equivalent to HA treatment, while Diquafosol treatment appears superior to HA treatment. Drop-frequency varied from one to eight drops daily. No single study explained the choice of drop frequency. Nine studies used a HA concentration of 0.1% which may be below therapeutic levels. Nine studies reported using preserved formulations, six of them with differences in preservatives between the compared groups. Thirteen studies were financially linked to industry. No major complications were reported. Studies were not designed to find differences in treatment effects for different types or severities of DED. HA is a good comparator treatment when assessing other DED treatments, although consensus after decades of use is still lacking for best choice of concentration, molecular weight and drop tonicity. Well-designed studies are needed to determine an evidence-based standard for HA treatment to be used as comparator.

Abstract
Hydrogels offer a novel approach to wound repair. In this study, we synthesized a ternary composite using sodium alginate (SA), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and copper-doped 58S bioactive glass (BG). According to our mechanical testing results, the composite made of 7 wt% CMC and 7 wt% BG (SA-7CMC-7BG) showed optimal properties. In addition, our in vitro studies revealed the biocompatibility and bioactivity of SA-7CMC-7BG, with a negative zeta potential of -31.7 mV. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images showed 273-μm-diameter pores, cell adhesion, and anchoring. The SA-7CMC-7BG closed 90.4 % of the mechanical scratch after 2 days. An in vivo wound model using Wistar rats showed that SA-7CMC-7BG promoted wound healing, with 85.57 % of the wounds healed after 14 days. Treatment with the SA-7CMC-7BG hydrogel caused a 1.6-, 65-, and 1.87-fold increase in transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), Col I, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression, respectively that prevents fibrosis and promotes angiogenesis. Furthermore, interleukin 1β (IL-1β) expression was downregulated by 1.61-fold, indicating an anti-inflammatory effect of SA-7CMC-7BG. We also observed an increase in epidermal thickness, the number of fibroblast cells, and collagen deposition, which represent complementary pathology results confirming the effectiveness of the SA-7CMC-7BG hydrogel in cutaneous wound healing.

Abstract
To address challenges associated with excessive water production in mature oil reservoirs, this study introduces a carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-based material as a novel preformed particle gel (PPG) designed to plug excessive water pathways and redistribute the subsequent injected water toward unswept zones. Through microwave-assisted grafting copolymerization of CMC with acrylamide (AM), we successfully generated multi-sized dry particles within the range of 250-800 µm. Comprehensive analyses, including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), have confirmed the chemical composition and morphology of the resulting carboxymethyl cellulose-grafted crosslinked polyacrylamide (CMC/PAMBA). Swelling kinetics and rheology tests were conducted to confirm the ability of this novel PPG system to perform at different reservoir conditions. The results of core flooding experiments showed that the CMC/PAMBA PPG is capable of plugging open fractures with a water breakthrough pressure gradient of up to 144 psi/ft. This preformed particle gel (PPG) system was designed specifically for application in Middle East reservoirs, which are distinguished by high salinity and elevated temperature levels. This PPG system is able to swell up to 10 times its original size in seawater and maintain a strength of about 1300 Pa at a temperature of 80 °C. Further optimization is conceivable to enhance injection efficiency and achieve superior plugging outcomes.

Abstract
We fabricated an efficient Pd@HKUST-1@Cu(II)/CMC composite bead catalyst through an innovative strategy based on the unique properties of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). In this strategy, HKUST-1 MOFs were grown in-situ on the surface of micrometer-sized Cu-based CMC beads (Cu(II)/CMC), then Pd(II) ions were incorporated into the pores of the MOF and further be partially reduced to Pd(0) NPs, which is an active species for oxidative addition with aryl halides in Sonogashira reactions. The micron-sized Cu(II)/CMC beads were formed through inter/intramolecularly crosslinking facilitated by Cu(II) ions, which was achieved by the metathesis of Cu(II) with numerous carboxylic groups of CMC. Such Cu(II)/CMC bead offers many Cu(II) ions as interaction sites for in-situ nucleation and growth of HKUST-1 MOFs. The architecture and composition of the prepared Pd@HKUST-1@Cu(II)/CMC composite were fully verified by various techniques such as FTIR, XRD, TGA, BET, XPS, SEM, TEM, EDX, and elemental mapping analysis. This novel composite bead was applied as an efficient and reusable heterogeneous Pd/Cu bimetallic catalyst for Sonogashira reactions, decarbonylative Sonogashira reaction, and Sonogashira cyclization tandem reactions. The catalyst is readily isolated by simple filtration, and can be reused for five consecutive runs with retaining its activity and structural integrity.
