Abstract
Amorphous calcium phosphate nanoparticles (ACP NPs) exhibit excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability properties. ACP NPs were functionalized with two coumarin compounds (esculetin and euphorbetin) extracted from Euphorbia lathyris seeds (BC-ACP NPs) showing high loading capacity (0.03% and 0.34% (w/w) for esculetin and euphorbetin, respectively) and adsorption efficiency (2.6% and 33.5%, respectively). BC-ACP NPs, no toxic to human blood cells, showed a more selective cytotoxicity against colorectal cancer (CRC) cells (T-84 cells) (IC50, 71.42 µg/ml) compared to non-tumor (CCD18) cells (IC50, 420.77 µg/ml). Both, the inhibition of carbonic anhydrase and autophagic cell death appeared to be involved in their action mechanism. Interestingly, in vivo treatment with BC-ACPs NPs using two different models of CRC induction showed a significant reduction in tumor volume (62%) and a significant decrease in the number and size of polyps. A poor development of tumor vasculature and invasion of normal tissue were also observed. Moreover, treatment increased the bacterial population of Akkermansia by restoring antioxidant systems in the colonic mucosa of mice. These results show a promising pathway to design innovative and more efficient therapies against CRC based on biomimetic calcium phosphate NPs loaded with natural products.

Abstract
In this study, calcium phosphate nanoparticles-based (STCNV) and montanide oil adjuvant vaccine (STOAV) containing outer membrane proteins (Omps) of S. Typhi were evaluated for inducing oxidative stress indicators [reduced glutathione (GSH), lipid peroxidation (LPO), catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and total protein] in the tissues of mice after vaccination. The GSH levels though slightly high in the liver, kidney, and lungs of STCNV group were not significantly different from STOAV and the control group (STC). There was no significant difference in LPO levels in any group for any tissue. The significantly lower activities of catalase were observed in the kidney and lungs of the STCNV group as compared to STOAV and STC group, while in the liver, STCNV group revealed lower catalase activity in comparison to the control group. No significant difference in the SOD activities between the two vaccinated groups was observed. The total protein contents in all the organs showed no significant difference in the vaccinated and the control group. The vaccines may induce long-term inflammatory response and consequently damage vital organs; this study revealed no long-term oxidative stress in all the three vital organs, suggesting that these vaccines may not cause oxidative damages in the vital organs of mice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Recent studies developed low-shrinkage-stress composite with remineralizing and antibacterial properties to combat secondary caries and increase restoration longevity. However, their long-term durability in thermal cycling is unclear. The objectives of this study were to develop an antibacterial, remineralizing and low-shrinkage-stress composite, and to investigate its durability in thermal cycling for 20,000 cycles, equivalent to two years of clinical life. METHODS The resin consisted of urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) and triethylene glycol divinylbenzyl ether (TEG-DVBE). Composites were made with 5% dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and 20% of nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP). Composites were thermal cycled at 5°C and 55°C for 20,000 cycles. A human salivary biofilm model was used to evaluate antibiofilm activity before and after thermal cycling. RESULTS After 20,000 cycles, the flexural strength of bioactive low-shrinkage-stress composite matched commercial control with no antibacterial activity (p > 0.05). Surface roughness was clinically acceptable at less than 0.2 μm. UV+NACP+DMAHDM composite reduced the total microorganisms, total streptococci, and mutans streptococci by 2-5 logs, compared to commercial composite. Biofilm lactic acid production was reduced by 11 folds. The antibacterial performance was maintained after thermal cycling, with no decrease after 20,000 cycles. CONCLUSIONS Bioactive low-shrinkage-stress composite possessed good mechanical properties that matched commercial composite both before and after thermal cycling. The new composite had potent antibacterial activity, which was maintained and did not decrease after thermal cycling. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The new bioactive low-shrinkage-stress composite could reduce polymerization shrinkage stress and release calcium and phosphate ions, with good mechanical properties and strong antibacterial function that were durable after thermal cycling. These properties indicate great potential for inhibiting recurrent caries and increasing the restoration longevity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to: (1) develop a multifunctional adhesive via dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP); and (2) investigate its ability to provide metalloproteinases (MMPs) deactivation and remineralization for long-term dentin bonding durability. METHODS DMAHDM and NACP were incorporated into Adper™ Single Bond 2 Adhesive (SB2) at mass fractions of 5% and 20%, respectively. Degree of conversion and contact angle were measured. Endogenous MMP activity of the demineralized dentin beams, Masson's trichrome staining, nano-indentation, microtensile bond strength and interfacial nanoleakage analyses were investigated after 24 h and 3 months of storage aging in artificial saliva. RESULTS Adding DMAHDM and NACP did not compromise the degree of conversion and contact angle of SB2 (p > 0.05). DMAHDM and NACP incorporation reduced the endogenous MMP activity by 53 %, facilitated remineralization, and increased the Young's modulus of hybrid layer by 49 % after 3 months of aging in artificial saliva, compared to control. For SB2 Control, the dentin bond strength decreased by 38 %, with greater nanoleakage expression, after 3 months of aging (p < 0.05). However, DMAHDM+NACP group showed no loss in bond strength, with much less nanoleakage, after 3 months of aging (p > 0.05). SIGNIFICANCE DMAHDM+NACP adhesive greatly reduced MMP-degradation activity in demineralized dentin, induced remineralization at adhesive-dentin interface, and maintained the dentin bond strength after aging, without adversely affecting polymerization and dentin wettability. This new adhesive has great potential to help eliminate secondary caries, prevent hybrid layer degradation, and increase the resin-dentin bond longevity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Resin cements with remineralizing and antibacterial properties are favorable for inhibition of caries. The objectives of this study were: (1) to investigate the capability of the novel dimethylaminohexadecyl-methacrylate (DMAHDM) and nano-sized amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) containing cement to reduce saliva microcosm biofilm, and (2) to investigate the long-term ion release, recharge, and re-release of DMAHDM-NACP cement. METHODS Pyromellitic glycerol dimethacrylate (PMGDM) and ethoxylated bisphenol-A-dimethacrylate (EBPADMA) were used to make PEHB monomer. Five cements were fabricated: (1) PEHB+0%NACP+0%DMAHDM (experimental control); (2) PEHB+25%NACP+0%DMAHDM, (3) PEHB+25%NACP+0%DMAHDM; (4) PEHB+25%NACP+3%DMAHDM; (5) PEHB+25%NACP+5%DMAHDM. RelyX luting cement was used as commercial control. Colony-forming units (CFU), lactic acid production, metabolic activities, and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were performed. Long-term Calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) ion release, recharge, and re-release were assessed. RESULTS Compared to experimental and commercial controls, the NACP-DMAHDM cement significantly reduced CFU biofilm by 2-3 orders of magnitude, metabolic activities from 0.24±0.06 A540/cm2 to 0.03±0.01 A540/cm2, and lactic acid production from 27.7±2.5 mmol/L to 5.4±2.1 mmol/L (n=6) (p<0.05). The DMAHDM showed an MIC value of 0.03 mg/L. However, when the DMAHDM was combined with PMGDM monomer, the MIC was greater than DMAHDM alone. The ion concentrations for the experimental groups significantly increased over time (1-84 days), indicating continuous ion release (n=3) (p<0.05). Increasing the DMAHDM mass fraction from 0% to 5% and 3% to 5% significantly enhanced ion recharge and re-release at the third cycle (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Incorporating DMAHDM and NACP into resin-based crown cement provides strong antibacterial action against saliva microcosm biofilm and presents a high level of Ca and P ion recharge abilities, exhibiting long-term Ca and P ion release and remineralization potential. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Resin based cement containing NACP and DMAHDM were developed with remineralizing and potent antibacterial effects. This cement formulation showed ion release and remineralization potential and are promising formulations to inhibit the incidence of recurrent caries and could promote remineralization and be sustainable for the long term.

Abstract
The usage of antigen-functionalized nanoparticles has become a major focus in the field of experimental HIV-1 vaccine research during the last decade. Various molecular mechanisms to couple native-like trimers of the HIV-1 envelope protein (Env) onto nanoparticle surfaces have been reported, but many come with disadvantages regarding the coupling efficiency and stability. In this study, a short amino acid sequence ("aldehyde-tag") was introduced at the C-terminus of a conformationally stabilized native-like Env. The post-translational conversion of a tag-associated cysteine to formylglycine creates a site-specific aldehyde group without alteration of the Env antigenicity. This aldehyde group was further utilized for bioconjugation of Env trimers. We demonstrated that the low acidic environment necessary for this bioconjugation is not affecting the trimer conformation. Furthermore, we developed a two-step coupling method for pH-sensitive nanoparticles. To this end, we conjugated aldehyde-tagged Env with Propargyl-PEG3-aminooxy linker (oxime ligation; Step-one) and coupled these conjugates by copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (Click reaction; Step-two) to calcium phosphate nanoparticles (CaPs) functionalized with terminal azide groups. CaPs displaying orthogonally arranged Env trimers on their surface (o-CaPs) were superior in activation of Env-specific B-cells (in vitro) and induction of Env-specific antibody responses (in vivo) compared to CaPs with Env trimers coupled in a randomly oriented manner. Taken together, we present a reliable method for the site-specific, covalent coupling of HIV-1 Env native-like trimers to the surface of nanoparticle delivery systems. This method can be broadly applied for functionalization of nanoparticle platforms with conformationally stabilized candidate antigens for both vaccination and diagnostic approaches. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: During the last decade antigen-functionalized nanoparticles have become a major focus in the field of experimental HIV-1 vaccines. Rational design led to the production of conformationally stabilized HIV-1 envelope protein (Env) trimers - the only target for the humoral immune system. Various molecular mechanisms to couple Env trimers onto nanoparticle surfaces have been reported, but many come with disadvantages regarding the coupling efficiency and stability. In this paper, we describe a highly selective bio-conjugation of Env trimers to the surface of medically relevant calcium phosphate nanoparticles. This method maintains the native-like protein conformation and has a broad potential application in functionalization of nanoparticle platforms with stabilized candidate antigens (including stabilized spike proteins of coronaviruses) for both vaccination and diagnostic approaches.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to develop an antibacterial and calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) rechargeable adhesive and investigate the effects of dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) on dentin bonding, biofilm response, and repeated Ca and P ion recharge and re-release capability for the first time. MATERIALS AND METHODS Pyromellitic glycerol dimethacrylate (PMGDM), ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate (EBPADMA), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), and bisphenol A glycidyl dimethacrylate (BisGMA) formed the adhesive (PEHB). Three groups were tested: (1) Scotchbond (SBMP, 3 M) control, (2) PEHB + 30% NACP, and (3) PEHB + 30% NACP + 5% DMAHDM. Specimens were tested for dentin shear bond strength, and Ca and P ion release, recharge, and re-release. Biofilm lactic acid production and colony-forming units (CFU) on resins were analyzed. RESULTS The four groups had similar dentin shear bond strengths (p > 0.1). Adhesive with DMAHDM showed significant decrease in metabolic activity, lactic acid production, and biofilm CFU (p < 0.05). The adhesives containing NACP released high levels of Ca and P ions initially and after being recharged. CONCLUSION This study developed the first Ca and P ion-rechargeable and antibacterial adhesive, achieving strong antibacterial activity and Ca and P ion recharge and re-release for long-term remineralization. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Considering the restoration-tooth bonded interface being the weak link and recurrent caries at the margins being the primary reason for restoration failures, this novel calcium phosphate-rechargeable and antibacterial adhesive is promising for a wide range of tooth-restoration applications to inhibit caries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colon cancer is a most common malignant cancer in digestive system, and it is prone to develop resistance to the commonly used chemotherapy drugs, leading to local recurrence and metastasis. Paris saponin VII (PSVII) could not only inhibit the proliferation of colon cancer cells but also effectively induce apoptosis of drug-resistant colon cancer cells and reduce the metastasis of drug-resistant colon cancer cells as well. However, PSVII was insoluble in water and fat. It displayed no selective distribution in body and could cause severe hemolysis. Herein, colon cancer targeting calcium phosphate nanoparticles were developed to carry PSVII to treat drug-resistant colon cancer. RESULTS PSVII carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion compound was successfully encapsulated in colon cancer targeting calcium phosphate nanoparticles (PSVII@MCP-CaP) by using modified citrus pectin as stabilizer agent and colon cancer cell targeting moiety. PSVII@MCP-CaP significantly reduced the hemolysis of PSVII. Moreover, by specific accumulating in orthotopic drug-resistant colon cancer tissue, PSVII@MCP-CaP markedly inhibited the growth of orthotopic drug-resistant colon cancer in nude mice. PSVII@MCP-CaP promoted the apoptosis of drug-resistant colon cancer cells through mitochondria-mediated apoptosis pathway. Moreover, PSVII@MCP-CaP significantly inhibited the invasion and migration of drug-resistant colon cancer cells by increasing E-cadherin protein expression and reducing N-cadherin and MMP-9 protein expression. CONCLUSION PSVII@MCP-CaP has great potential in the treatment of drug-resistant colon cancer. This study also explores a new method to prepare active targeting calcium phosphate nanoparticles loaded with a fat and water insoluble compound in water.

Abstract
Two organic fluorophores, fluorescein (F) and rhodamine B (Rd), were entrapped in calcium phosphate nanoparticles. The as-obtained nanoparticles can be used for biological release applications. For this aim, calcium phosphate nanoparticles were synthesized using the precipitation method. Structural analysis of these nanoparticles was performed using XRD, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy, confirming that the synthesized nanoparticles were hydroxyapatite. TEM and SEM analyses demonstrated that these nanoparticles had a size of 20 nm and a well-defined morphology. F and Rd (about 0.5 wt.%) were entrapped in these nanoparticles and their release, as a function of time, was studied via UV-Vis spectroscopy. The obtained results showed that the release of both fluorophores was progressive over time. The trapping efficiencies of the fluorophores were 67.15% and 90.76% for F and Rd, respectively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to investigate the long-term demineralization-inhibition capability of a rechargeable adhesive with nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) on dentin in a biofilm-challenged environment. METHODS The NACP adhesive was immersed in a pH 4 solution to exhaust calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) ions and then recharged with Ca and P ions. Dentin samples were demineralized underStreptococcus mutans biofilms for 24 h and randomly divided into two groups: (1) dentin control, (2) dentin with recharged NACP adhesives. Each day, all the samples were immersed in brain heart infusion broth with 1% sucrose (BHIS) for 4 h, and then in artificial saliva (AS) for 20 h. This cycle was repeated for 10 days. The pH of BHIS, the Ca and P ions content of the BHIS and AS were measured daily. After 10 days, the lactic acid production and colony-forming units of the biofilms were tested. The changes of remineralization/demineralization were also analyzed. RESULTS Dentin in the control group showed further demineralization. The recharged NACP adhesive neutralized acids, increasing the pH to above 5, and released large amounts of Ca and P ions each day. The recharged NACP adhesive decreased the production of lactic acid (P < 0.05), inhibited dentin demineralization and sustained the dentin hardness in the biofilm-challenged environment, showing an excellent long-term demineralization-inhibition capability. CONCLUSIONS The NACP adhesive could continuously inhibit dentin demineralization in a biofilm-challenged environment by recharging with Ca and P ions. SIGNIFICANCE The rechargeable NACP adhesive could provide long-term dentin bond protection.

Abstract
Recurrent dental caries is one of the main reasons for resin composite restoration failures. This study aimed to: (1) develop a bioactive, low-shrinkage-stress, antibacterial and remineralizing composite and evaluate the sustainability of its antibacterial effect against Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) biofilms; and (2) evaluate the remineralization and cariostatic potential of the composite containing nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) and dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM), using dentin hardness measurement and a biofilm-induced recurrent caries model. The antibacterial and remineralizing low-shrinkage-stress composite consisted of urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) and triethylene glycol divinylbenzyl ether (TEG-DVBE), 3% DMAHDM and 20% NACP. S. mutans biofilm was used to evaluate antibiofilm activity, before and after 3 months of composite aging in acidic solution. Human dentin was used to develop a recurrent caries biofilm-model. Adding DMAHDM and NACP into low shrinkage-stress composite did not compromise the flexural strength. The low-shrinkage-stress composite with DMAHDM achieved substantial reductions in biofilm colony-forming units (CFU), lactic acid production, and biofilm biomass (p < 0.05). The low-shrinkage-stress DMAHDM+NACP composite exhibited no significant difference in antibacterial performance before and after 3 months of aging, demonstrating long-term antibacterial activity. Under S. mutans biofilm acidic attack, dentin hardness (GPa) was 0.24 ± 0.04 for commercial control, and 0.23 ± 0.03 for experimental control, but significantly higher at 0.34 ± 0.03 for DMAHDM+NACP group (p < 0.05). At an instrumental compliance of 0.33 μm/N, the polymerization shrinkage stress of the new composite was 36% lower than that of a traditional composite (p < 0.05). The triple strategy of antibacterial, remineralization and lower shrinkage-stress has great potential to inhibit recurrent caries and increase restoration longevity. Statement of Significance Polymerization shrinkage stress, masticatory load over time as well as biochemical degradation can lead to marginal failure and secondary caries. The present study developed a new low-shrinkage-stress, antibacterial and remineralizing dental nanocomposite. Polymerization shrinkage stress was greatly reduced, biofilm acid production was inhibited, and tooth dentin mineral and hardness were preserved. The antibacterial composite possessed a long-lasting antibiofilm effect against cariogenic bacteria S. mutans. The new bioactive nanocomposite has the potential to suppress recurrent caries at the restoration margins, protects tooth structures, and increases restoration longevity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Polymerization shrinkage stress may lead to marginal damage, microleakage and failure of composite restorations. The objectives of this study were to : (1) develop a novel nanocomposite with low-shrinkage-stress, antibacterial and remineralization properties to reduce marginal enamel demineralization under biofilms; (2) evaluate the mechanical properties of the composite and calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) ion release; and (3) investigate the cytotoxicity of the new low-shrinkage-stress monomer in vitro. METHODS The low-shrinkage-stress resin consisted of urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) and triethylene glycol divinylbenzyl ether (TEG-DVBE), and 3 % dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and 20 % calcium phosphate nanoparticles (NACP) were added. Mechanical properties, polymerization shrinkage stress, and degree of conversion were evaluated. The growth of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) on enamel slabs with different composites was assessed. Ca and P ion releases and monomer cytotoxicity were measured. RESULTS Composite with DMAHDM and NACP had flexural strength of 84.9 ± 10.3 MPa (n = 6), matching that of a commercial control composite. Adding 3 % DMAHDM did not negatively affect the composite ion release. Under S. mutans biofilm, the marginal enamel hardness was 1.2 ± 0.1 GPa for the remineralizing and antibacterial group, more than 2-fold the 0.5 ± 0.07 GPa for control (p < 0.05). The polymerization shrinkage stress of the new composite was 40 % lower than that of traditional composite control (p < 0.05). The new monomers had fibroblast viability similar to that of traditional monomer control (p > 0.1). CONCLUSION A novel low-shrinkage-stress nanocomposite was developed with remineralizing and antibacterial properties. This new composite is promising to inhibit recurrent caries at the restoration margins by reducing polymerization stress and protecting enamel hardness.

Abstract
Short-term studies on calcium-phosphate (CaP) ion-rechargeable composites were reported. The long-term rechargeability is important but unknown. The objectives of this study were to investigate nanocomposite with strong antibacterial and ion-recharge capabilities containing dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP), and evaluate long-term ion-recharge by testing for 12 cycles (taking 6 months to complete) for the first time. Three groups were tested: (1) Heliomolar control; (2) Resin+20%NACP+50%glass; (3) Resin+3%DMAHDM+20%NACP+50%glass. Biofilm acid and colony-forming units (CFU) were measured. Ion-recharge was tested for 12 cycles. NACP-DMAHDM composite reduced biofilm acid, and reduced CFU by 4 logs. High levels of ion releases were maintained throughout 12 cycles of recharge, maintaining steady-state releases without reduction in 6 months (p>0.1), representing long-term remineralization potential. Bioactive nanocomposite demonstrated long-term ion-rechargeability for the first time, showed remineralization and potent anti-biofilm functions, with promise for tooth restorations to combat caries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of the present study was to investigate long-term dentin remineralization via the combination of poly(amido amine) (PAMAM) with a novel rechargeable adhesive containing nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP). METHODS The NACP adhesive was immersed in lactic acid at pH 4 to exhaust its calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) ion release, and then recharged with Ca and P ions. Dentin samples were pre-demineralized with 37% phosphoric acid, and then divided into four groups: (1) dentin control, (2) dentin treated with PAMAM, (3) dentin with recharged NACP adhesive, (4) dentin with PAMAM + recharged NACP adhesive. In group (2) and (4), the PAMAM-coated dentin was immersed in phosphate-buffered saline with vigorous shaking for 77 days to accelerate any detachment of the PAMAM macromolecules from the demineralized dentin. Samples were treated with a cyclic remineralization/demineralization regimen for 21 days. RESULTS After 77 days of fluid flow challenge, the immersed PAMAM still retained its nucleation template function. The recharged NACP adhesive possessed sustained ion re-release and acid-neutralization capability, both of which did not decrease with repeated recharge and re-release cycles. The immersed PAMAM with the recharged NACP adhesive achieved long-term dentin remineralization, and restored dentin hardness to that of healthy dentin. CONCLUSIONS The PAMAM + NACP adhesive completely remineralizes pre-demineralized dentin even after long-term fluid challenges and provides long-term remineralization to protect tooth structures. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The novel PAMAM + NACP adhesive provides long-term bond protection and caries inhibition to increase the longevity of resin-based restorations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES (1) To develop a novel bioactive root canal sealer with antibiofilm and remineralization properties using dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP); (2) investigate the effects on E. faecalis biofilm inhibition, sealer flow and sealing ability, compared with an epoxy-resin-based sealer AH Plus; and (3) investigate the calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) ion release from the sealers. METHODS A series of dual-cure endodontic sealers were formulated with DMAHDM and NACP at 5% and 20% by mass, respectively. Flow properties and sealing ability of the sealers were measured. Colony-forming units (CFU), live/dead assay, and polysaccharide production of biofilms on sealers were determined. Ca and P ion releases from the sealers were measured. RESULTS The new sealer containing 20% NACP and 5% DMAHDM yielded a paste flow of (28.99 ± 0.69) mm, within the range of ISO recommendations. The sealing properties of the sealer with 5% DMAHDM and 20% NACP were similar to a commercial control (p > 0.05). The sealer with DMAHDM decreased E. faecalis biofilm CFU by more than 4 orders of magnitude, compared to AH plus and experimental controls. The sealer with 20% NACP and 5% DMAHDM had relatively high levels of Ca and P ion release necessary for remineralization. CONCLUSIONS A new bioactive endodontic sealer was developed with strong antibiofilm activity against E. faecalis biofilms and high levels of Ca and P ion release for remineralization, without compromising the paste flow and sealing properties. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The bioactive antibacterial and remineralizing root canal sealer is promising to inhibit E. faecalis biofilms to prevent endodontic treatment failure and secondary endodontic infections, while releasing high levels of Ca and P ions that could remineralize and strengthen the tooth structures and potentially prevent future root fractures and teeth extractions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The dentin bonding often fails over time, leading to secondary caries and restoration failure. The objectives of this study were to develop an adhesive with dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP), and investigate the effects of storage in artificial saliva for six months on the bonding durability, antibacterial activity, ion release and biofilm pH properties for the first time. METHODS DMAHDM was added at 5% (by mass) to Scotchbond Primer and Adhesive (SBMP). NACP was added at 10%, 20%, and 30% to SBMP adhesive. Dentin bonding durability, antibacterial activity against Streptococcus mutans biofilms, and calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) ion liberation properties were investigated after 1 day and 6months of storage in artificial saliva. RESULTS Dentin bond strength (n = 50) had 25% loss after 6 months of aging for SBMP control. However, SBMP + DMAHDM+10NACP and SBMP + DMAHDM+20NACP showed no loss in bond strength after storage in artificial saliva for 6 months. The DMAHDM + NACP incorporation method dramatically reduced the biofilm metabolic activity and acid production, and decreased the biofilm CFU by four orders of magnitude, compared to SBMP control, even after 6 months of aging (p < 0.05). DMAHDM + NACP had long-lasting Ca and P ion releases, and raised the biofilm pH to 6.8, while the control group had a cariogenic biofilm pH of 4.5. CONCLUSIONS Incorporating DMAHDM + NACP in bonding agent yielded potent and long-lasting antibacterial activity and ions liberation ability, and much higher long-term dentin bond strength after 6-month of aging. The new bonding agent is promising to inhibit caries at the restoration margins and increase the resin-dentin bonding longevity. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The novel bioactive adhesive is promising to protect tooth structures from biofilm acids and secondary caries. NACP and DMAHDM have great potential for applications to a wide range of dental materials to reduce plaque and achieve therapeutic effects.

Abstract
The objectives were to develop a novel rechargeable cement containing amorphous calcium-phosphate nanoparticles (nanoACP) to suppress tooth decay. Five cements were made with: (1) 60% glass particles (experimental control); (2) 40% glass+20% nanoACP; (3) 30% glass+30% nanoACP; (4) 20% glass+40% nanoACP; (5) 10% glass+50% nanoACP. Groups 1-4 had enamel bond strengths similar to Transbond XT (3M) and Vitremer (3M) (p>0.1). The nanoACP cement had calcium and phosphate ion release which increased with increasing nanoACP fillers. The recharged cement had substantial ion re-release continuously for 14 days after a single recharge. Ion re-release did not decrease with increasing recharge/re-release cycles. Groups 3-5 maintained a safe pH of medium (>5.5); however, control cements had cariogenic pH of medium (<4.5) due to biofilm acid. Therefore, nanoACP cement (1) had good bond strength to enamel, (2) possessed calcium and phosphate ion recharge/re-release capability, and (3) raised biofilm pH to a safe level to inhibit caries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There has been no report on the effect of incorporating protein repellent 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) into a composite containing nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) on calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) ion rechargeability. The objectives of this study were to develop a Ca and P ion-rechargeable and protein-repellent composite for the first time, and investigate the effects of MPC and NACP on mechanical properties, protein-repellency, anti-biofilm effects, and Ca and P ion recharge and re-release. METHODS NACP were synthesized using a spray-drying technique. The resin contained ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate (EBPADMA) and pyromellitic glycerol dimethacrylate (PMGDM). Three NACP composites were made with 0 (control), 1.5%, and 3% of MPC. NACP (20%) and glass particles (50%) were also added into the resin. Protein adsorption was measured using a micro-bicinchoninic acid (BCA) method. A human saliva microcosm biofilm model was used to determine biofilm metabolic activity, lactic acid, and colony-forming units (CFU). Ca and P ion recharge and re-release were measured using a spectrophotometric method. RESULTS Flexural strengths and moduli of CaP-rechargeable composites matched those of a commercial composite without CaP rechargeability (p>0.1). Adding 1.5% and 3% MPC reduced protein adsorption to 1/3 and 1/5, respectively, that of commercial composite (p<0.05). Adding 3% MPC suppressed biofilm metabolic activity and lactic acid production, and reduced biofilm CFU by nearly 2 logs. All three NACP composites had excellent ion rechargeability and higher levels of ion re-releases. One recharge yielded continuous ion release for 21 days. The release was maintained at the same level with increasing number of recharge cycles, indicating long-term ion release. Incorporation of MPC did not compromise the CaP ion rechargeability. SIGNIFICANCE Incorporating 3% MPC into NACP nanocomposite greatly reduced protein adsorption, biofilm growth and lactic acid, decreasing biofilm CFU by nearly 2 logs, without compromising Ca and P recharge. This protein-repellent NACP-MPC rechargeable composite with long-term remineralization is promising for tooth restorations to inhibit secondary caries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objectives were to develop a calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) ion-rechargeable and protein-repellent adhesive containing nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) and 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC), and investigate the MPC effects on ion recharge and re-releases for the first time. METHODS Pyromellitic glycerol dimethacrylate and ethoxylated bisphenol-A dimethacrylate were used to fabricate adhesive PEHB. Six adhesives were tested: (1) Scotchbond (SBMP); (2) PEHB, (3) PEHB + 20%NACP; (4) PEHB + 30%NACP; (5) PEHB + 20%NACP+3%MPC; (6) PEHB + 30%NACP+3%MPC. Dentin shear bond strength, Ca/P ion release, recharge and re-release, and protein adsorption were measured. A microcosm biofilm model was tested for lactic-acid production and colony-forming units (CFU). RESULTS Adding NACP + MPC did not negatively affect dentin bond strength (p > 0.1). With increasing the number of recharge/re-release cycles, the Ca/P ion re-release reached similarly higher levels (p > 0.1), indicating long-term remineralization capability. One recharge enabled the adhesives to have continued re-releases for 21 days. Incorporation of 3% MPC yielded 10-fold decrease in protein adsorption, and 1-2 log decrease in biofilm CFU. CONCLUSIONS The new rechargeable adhesive with MPC + 30%NACP greatly reduced protein adsorption, biofilm growth and lactic acid. Incorporation of MPC did not compromise the excellent Ca/P ion release, rechargeability, and dentin bond strength. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Novel bioactive adhesive containing MPC + NACP is promising to repel proteins and bacteria, and inhibit secondary caries at the restoration margins. The method of NACP + MPC to combine CaP-recharge and protein-repellency is applicable to the development of a new generation of materials including composites and cements to suppress oral biofilms and plaque formation and protect tooth structures.

Abstract
Effective treatment and real-time monitoring of hepatic cancer are essential. A multifunctional calcium phosphate nanoparticles loading chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin and magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid gadolinium (A54-CaP/Gd-DTPA/DOX) was developed for visual targeted therapy of hepatic cancer via T1-weighted MRI in real-time. A54-CaP/Gd-DTPA/DOX exhibited a higher longitudinal relaxivity (6.02 mM-1 s-1) than commercial MR contrast agent Gd-DTPA (3.3765 mM-1 s-1). The DOX release from the nanoparticles exhibited a pH dependent behavior. The cellular uptake results showed that the internalization of A54-CaP/Gd-DTPA/DOX into BEL-7402 cells was1.9-fold faster than that of HepG2 cells via A54 binding. In vivo experiments presented that A54-CaP/Gd-DTPA/DOX had higher distribution and longer retention time in tumor tissue than CaP/Gd-DTPA/DOX and free DOX, and also displayed great antitumor efficacy (95.38% tumor inhibition rate) and lower toxicity. Furthermore, the Gd-DTPA entrapped in the nanoparticles could provide T1-weighted MRI for real-time monitoring the progress of tumor treatment.

Abstract
Current dental restorative materials are typically inert and replace missing tooth structures. This article reviews efforts in the development of a new generation of bioactive materials designed to not only replace the missing tooth volume but also possess therapeutic functions. Composites and bonding agents with remineralizing and antibacterial characteristics have shown promise in replacing lost minerals, inhibiting recurrent caries, neutralizing acids, repelling proteins, and suppressing biofilms and acid production. Furthermore, they have demonstrated a low cytotoxicity similar to current resins, with additional benefits to protect the dental pulp and promote tertiary dentin formation. This new class of bioactive materials shows promise in reversing lesions and inhibiting caries.

Abstract
Due to efficacious characteristics of calcium phosphate nanoparticles (CPNs), they have numerously been employed in nanomedicine, particularly as carrier for therapeutic and diagnostic agents, and also in tissue engineering. Although calcium phosphate minerals are noted for their cytocompatibility, there are outstanding findings from various studies that question whether they are still compatible with cells in nanoscale ranges or not and it leads to the controversial issue of CPNs cytocompatibility versus cytotoxicity. In this regard, it is necessary to know how CPNs could result in cytotoxicity for future studies. Interestingly, most of the researchers have attributed the cytotoxicity to triggering of apoptosis in CPNs-exposed cells. Furthermore, it is reported that CPNs could result in cancer cell demise through induction of apoptosis. According to the findings, not only CPNs are promising for cancer cell drug delivery, but also they have the potential to be employed as therapeutic agents. In this review, firstly the physical and chemical properties of CPNs and their application in medicine are reviewed. Moreover, the interaction between CPNs and different kind of cells are covered. Lastly, employment of CPNs as a therapeutic agent is discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Rechargeable calcium phosphate (CaP) composites were developed recently. However, none of the rechargeable CaP composites was antibacterial. The objectives of this study were to develop the first rechargeable CaP composite that was antibacterial, and to investigate the effects of adding dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) into rechargeable CaP composite on ion rechargeability and re-release as well as biofilm properties. METHODS DMAHDM was synthesized via a Menschutkin reaction. Nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) were synthesized using a spray-drying technique. The resin contained ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate (EBPADMA) and pyromellitic glycerol dimethacrylate (PMGDM). Two composites were fabricated: rechargeable NACP composite, and rechargeable NACP-DMAHDM composite. Mechanical properties and ion release and recharge were measured. A dental plaque microcosm biofilm model using saliva was tested. RESULTS Flexural strength and elastic modulus of rechargeable NACP and NACP-DMAHDM composites matched commercial control composite (p > 0.1). NACP-DMAHDM inhibited biofilm metabolic activity and lactic acid, and reduced biofilm colony-forming units (CFU) by 3-4 log. NACP and NACP-DMAHDM showed similar Ca and P ion recharge and re-release (p > 0.1). Therefore, adding DMAHDM did not compromise the ion rechargeability. One recharge yielded continuous release for 42 d. The release was maintained at the same level with increasing number of recharge cycles, indicating long-term ion release and remineralization capability. CONCLUSIONS The first CaP rechargeable and antibacterial composite was developed. Adding DMAHDM into the rechargeable NACP composite did not adversely affect the Ca and P ion release and recharge, and the composite had much less biofilm growth and lactic acid production, with CFU reduction by 3-4 log. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE This novel CaP rechargeable composite with long-term remineralization and antibacterial properties is promising for tooth restorations to inhibit caries.

The objective of this study was to investigate the remineralization of human dentin lesions in vitro via restorations using nanocomposites containing nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) or NACP and tetracalcium phosphate (TTCP) for the first time. METHODS NACP was synthesized by a spray-drying technique and incorporated into a resin consisting of ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate (EBPADMA) and pyromellitic glycerol dimethacrylate (PMGDM). After restoring the dentin lesions with nanocomposites as well as a non-releasing commercial composite control, the specimens were treated with cyclic demineralization (pH 4, 1h per day) and remineralization (pH 7, 23h per day) for 4 or 8 weeks. Calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) ion releases from composites were measured. Dentin lesion remineralization was measured at 4 and 8 weeks by transverse microradiography (TMR). RESULTS Lowering the pH increased ion release of NACP and NACP-TTCP composites. At 56 days, the released Ca concentration in mmol/L (mean±SD; n=3) was (13.39±0.72) at pH 4, much higher than (1.19±0.06) at pH 7 (p<0.05). At 56 days, P ion concentration was (5.59±0.28) at pH 4, much higher than (0.26±0.01) at pH 7 (p<0.05). Quantitative microradiography showed typical subsurface dentin lesions prior to the cyclic demineralization/remineralization treatment, and dentin remineralization via NACP and NACP-TTCP composites after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. At 8 weeks, NACP nanocomposite achieved dentin lesion remineralization (mean±SD; n=15) of (48.2±11.0)%, much higher than (5.0±7.2)% for dentin in commercial composite group after the same cyclic demineralization/remineralization regimen (p<0.05). SIGNIFICANCE Novel NACP-based nanocomposites were demonstrated to achieve dentin lesion remineralization for the first time. These results, coupled with acid-neutralization and good mechanical properties shown previously, indicate that the NACP-based nanocomposites are promising for restorations to inhibit caries and protect tooth structures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A new adhesive containing nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) with calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) ion rechargeability was recently developed; however, it was not antibacterial. The objectives of this study were to: (1) develop a novel adhesive with triple benefits of Ca and P ion recharge, protein-repellent and antibacterial functions via dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC); and (2) investigate dentin bond strength, protein adsorption, Ca and P ion concentration, microcosm biofilm response and pH properties. METHODS MPC, DMAHDM and NACP were mixed into a resin consisting of ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate (EBPADMA), pyromellitic glycerol dimethacrylate (PMGDM), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and bisphenol A glycidyl dimethacrylate (BisGMA). Protein adsorption was measured using a micro bicinchoninic acid method. A human saliva microcosm biofilm model was tested on resins. Colony-forming units (CFU), live/dead assay, metabolic activity, Ca and P ion concentration and biofilm culture medium pH were determined. RESULTS The adhesive with 5% MPC+5% DMAHDM+30% NACP inhibited biofilm growth, reducing biofilm CFU by 4 log, compared to control (p<0.05). Dentin shear bond strengths were similar (p>0.1). Biofilm medium became a Ca and P ion reservoir having ion concentration increasing with NACP filler level. The adhesive with 5% MPC+5% DMAHDM+30% NACP maintained a safe pH>6, while commercial adhesive had a cariogenic pH of 4. SIGNIFICANCE The new adhesive with triple benefits of Ca and P ion recharge, protein-repellent and antibacterial functions substantially reduced biofilm growth, reducing biofilm CFU by 4 orders of magnitude, and yielding a much higher pH than commercial adhesive. This novel adhesive is promising to protect tooth structures from biofilm acids. The method of using NACP, MPC and DMAHDM is promising for application to other dental materials to combat caries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Inhibition of the binding of retinol to its carrier, retinol binding protein 4, is a new strategy for treating type 2 diabetes; for this purpose, we have provided an aptamer-functionalized multishell calcium phosphate nanoparticle. METHODS First, calcium phosphate nanoparticles were synthesized and conjugated to the aptamer. The cytotoxicity of nanoparticles releases the process of aptamer from nanoparticles and their inhibition function of binding retinol to retinol binding protein 4. RESULTS After synthesizing and characterizing the multishell calcium phosphate nanoparticles and observing the noncytotoxicity of conjugate, the optimum time (48 hours) and the pH (7.4) for releasing the aptamer from the nanoparticles was determined. The half-maximum inhibitory concentration (IC50) value for inhibition of retinol binding to retinol binding protein 4 was 210 femtomolar (fmol). CONCLUSIONS The results revealed that the aptamer could prevent connection between retinol and retinol binding protein 4 at a very low IC50 value (210 fmol) compared to other reported inhibitors. It seems that this aptamer could be used as an efficient candidate not only for decreasing the insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes, but also for inhibiting the other retinol binding protein 4-related diseases.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to develop a novel method to remineralize dentin lesions, and investigate the remineralization effects of poly (amido amine) (PAMAM) dendrimer plus a bonding agent with nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) in a cyclic artificial saliva/lactic acid environment for the first time. Dentin lesions were produced via phosphoric acid. Four groups were tested: (1) dentin control, (2) dentin with PAMAM, (3) dentin with NACP bonding agent, and (4) dentin with PAMAM plus NACP bonding agent. Specimens were treated with cyclic artificial saliva/lactic acid. The remineralized dentin was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), hardness and attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). NACP bonding agent yielded a dentin shear bond strength similar to commercial controls (Prime & Bond NT, Dentsply; Scotchbond Multi-purpose, 3M) (p>0.1). Increasing NACP in bonding agent from 0 to 40% did not affect bond strength. NACP bonding agent neutralized the acid and released Ca ions with concentrations of 4 to 20mmol/L, and P ions of 2 to 9mmol/L. PAMAM or NACP bonding agent alone achieved slight remineralization. The PAMAM+NACP group achieved the greatest dentin remineralization p<0.05). At 20days, PAMAM+NACP increased the hardness of pre-demineralized dentin to reach the normal dentin hardness (p>0.1). In conclusion, superior remineralization of PAMAM+NACP bonding agent was demonstrated for the first time. PAMAM+NACP bonding agent induced dentin remineralization under acid challenge, when conventional remineralization methods such as PAMAM alone did not work well. The novel PAMAM+NACP bonding agent method is promising to improve the longevity of resin-dentin bonds, inhibit caries, and protect teeth.

Abstract
A thermo-sensitive hydrogel based on calcium phosphate nanoparticles was prepared using a novel one-pot method in which added precursor salts induced a salt-out effect in the methylcellulose (MC) solution. The calcium phosphate nanoparticles were synthesized in situ from precursor ions (Ca2+ and HPO42-) in the hydrogel, and residual ions (HPO42- and Cl-) in the formation of the nanoparticles decreased the gelation temperature of the MC solution. This one-pot synthesis was an effective way to streamline the previous multi-step process and to easily prepare a thermo-sensitive hydrogel containing bioactive nanoparticles. The thermo-sensitive properties of different concentrations of MC hydrogels were characterized by a rheometer and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. The gelation behavior of MC according to the addition of various salts was monitored by rheometer. With respect to a selected concentration and precursor, the structure of the MC hydrogel containing calcium phosphate nanoparticles was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and IR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The occurrence of tooth root caries is increasing as the world population ages and tooth retention in seniors increases. Class V restorations with subgingival margins are difficult to clean and often lead to periodontitis. The objectives of this study were to develop a Class V composite containing dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP), and investigate mechanical properties and the inhibition of six species of periodontitis-related biofilms for the first time. METHODS Ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate (EBPADMA) and pyromellitic glycerol dimethacrylate (PMGDM) were mixed at 1:1 mass ratio to form the resin matrix. DMAHDM, NACP, and glass particles were incorporated at 3%, 20% and 50% by mass, respectively. Six species were tested: Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, Prevotella nigrescens, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Fusobacterium nucleatum and Enterococcus faecalis. Colony-forming units (CFU), live/dead assay, biomass via crystal violet staining, and polysaccharide production by biofilms were determined on composites. RESULT Adding 3% DMAHDM to composite did not affect the flexure strength and elastic modulus (p>0.1). For all six species of periodontal pathogens, the DMAHDM composite had biofilm CFU nearly three orders of magnitude less than that without DMAHDM. The killing efficacy of DMAHDM composite against the six species was: E. faecalis<F. nucleatum<P. nigrescens=P. intermedia<A. actinomycetemcomitans<P. gingivalis. Biofilm biomass and polysaccharide were also greatly reduced via DMAHDM (p<0.05). SIGNIFICANCE The novel nanocomposite containing DMAHDM and NACP showed strong inhibiting effect against all six species of periodontitis-related pathogens. This composite is promising for Class V restorations to restore root caries and combat periodontitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of poly (amido amine) (PAMAM), composite with nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP), and the combined PAMAM+NACP nanocomposite treatment, on remineralization of demineralized dentin in a cyclic artificial saliva/lactic acid environment for the first time. METHODS Dentin specimens were prepared and demineralized with 37% phosphoric acid for 15s. Four groups were prepared: (1) dentin control, (2) dentin coated with PAMAM, (3) dentin with NACP composite, (4) dentin with PAMAM+NACP. Specimens were treated with a cyclic artificial saliva/lactic acid regimen for 21days. Acid neutralization and calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) ion concentrations were measured. The remineralized dentin specimens were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and hardness testing. RESULTS NACP nanocomposite had mechanical properties similar to commercial control composites (p>0.1). NACP composite had acid-neutralization and Ca and P ion release capability. PAMAM or NACP composite each alone achieved remineralization and increased the hardness of demineralized dentin (p<0.05). PAMAM+NACP nanocomposite achieved the greatest mineral regeneration in demineralized dentin and the greatest hardness increase in demineralized dentin, which approached the hardness of healthy dentin (p>0.1). SIGNIFICANCE The superior remineralization efficacy of PAMAM+NACP was demonstrated for the first time. PAMAM+NACP induced remineralization in demineralized dentin in an acid challenge environment, when conventional remineralization methods such as PAMAM did not work well. The novel PAMAM+NACP composite approach is promising for a wide range of dental applications to inhibit caries and protect tooth structures.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Nucleotides (NTs) (e.g., adenosine triphosphate) are very important molecules in the body. They generate bioenergy through phosphate group release, are involved in various biological processes, and are used to treat various diseases that involve energy depletion. However, their highly anionic characteristics might limit delivery of exogenous NTs into the cell, which is required to realize their functions as bioenergy sources. In this study, ionic complexation between Ca(2+) and NT phosphates was used to form Ca(2+)/NT nanocomplexes (NCs), and branched polyethyleneimine (bPEI1.8kDa) was coated on the surface of Ca(2+)/NT NCs via a simple electrostatic coating. The resultant Ca(2+)/NT/bPEI1.8kDa NCs were approximately 10-25nm in size and had positive zeta-potentials, and their NT loading efficiency and content were approximately 60-75% and 10-20 wt%, respectively. Faster NT release from Ca(2+)/NT/bPEI1.8kDa NCs was induced by lower pH and by NTs with fewer phosphates. Reductions in cell viability in response to low temperature, serum deprivation, or hypoxia were recovered by NT delivery in Ca(2+)/NT/bPEI1.8kDa NCs. In a middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)-induced post-ischemic rat model, the BBB (blood brain barrier)-detoured intranasal administration of Ca(2+)/ATP/bPEI1.8kDa NCs induced a better reduction in infarct volume and neurological deficits than did free ATP. In conclusion, intracellular NT delivery using Ca(2+)/NT/bPEI1.8kDa NCs might potentially enhance cell survival and reduce infarction in energy-/oxygen-depleted environments. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE This study describes bioenergetic nucleotide delivery systems and their preparation, physicochemical characterization, and biological characterization both in vitro and in vivo. Nucleotides, such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and guanosine triphosphate (GTP), are very important signaling and energy molecules in the body. However, research on these nucleotides using nanosized carriers has been very limited. Liposomal ATP delivery has been reported in heart and renal ischemia studies. Notably, although this delivery system has potential in energy-depleted environments (e.g., low temperature, serum deprivation, and hypoxia) and in brain ischemia, studies are lacking regarding these systems. Thus, we designed polycation-shielded Ca(2+)/nucleotide nanocomplexes using simple mixing, which produced 10- to 25-nm-sized particles. The nanocomplexes released nucleotides in response to acidic pH, and they enhanced cell survival rates under conditions of low temperature, serum deprivation, or hypoxia. Importantly, the nanocomplexes reduced cerebral infarct volumes in a post-ischemic rat model. Thus, our study demonstrates that a novel nucleotide nanocomplex could have potential for preventing or treating diseases that involve energy depletion, such as cardiac, cerebral, and retinal ischemia, and liver failure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Calcium phosphate (CaP) composites with Ca and P ion release can remineralize tooth lesions and inhibit caries. But the ion release lasts only a few months. The objectives of this study were to develop rechargeable CaP dental composite for the first time, and investigate the Ca and P recharge and re-release of composites with nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) to achieve long-term inhibition of caries. METHODS Three NACP nanocomposites were fabricated with resin matrix of: (1) bisphenol A glycidyl dimethacrylate (BisGMA) and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) at 1:1 mass ratio (referred to as BT group); (2) pyromellitic glycerol dimethacrylate (PMGDM) and ethoxylated bisphenol A dimethacrylate (EBPADMA) at 1:1 ratio (PE group); (3) BisGMA, TEGDMA, and Bis[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl] phosphate (BisMEP) at 2:1:1 ratio (BTM group). Each resin was filled with 20% NACP and 50% glass particles, and the composite was photo-cured. Specimens were tested for flexural strength and elastic modulus, Ca and P ion release, and Ca and P ion recharge and re-release. RESULTS NACP nanocomposites had strengths 3-fold of, and elastic moduli similar to, commercial resin-modified glass ionomer controls. CaP ion recharge capability was the greatest for PE group, followed by BTM group, with BT group being the lowest (p<0.05). For each recharge cycle, CaP re-release reached similarly high levels, showing that CaP re-release did not decrease with more recharge cycles. After six recharge/re-release cycles, NACP nanocomposites without further recharge had continuous CaP ion release for 42 d. SIGNIFICANCE Novel rechargeable CaP composites achieved long-term and sustained Ca and P ion release. Rechargeable NACP nanocomposite is promising for caries-inhibiting restorations, and the Ca and P ion recharge and re-release method has wide applicability to dental composites, adhesives, cements and sealants to achieve long-term caries-inhibition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to: (1) develop a novel adhesive for prevention of tooth root caries and secondary caries by possessing a combination of protein-repellent, antibacterial, and remineralization capabilities for the first time; and (2) investigate the effects of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC), dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM), and nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) on dentin bond strength, protein-repellent properties, and dental plaque microcosm biofilm response. METHODS MPC, DMAHDM and NACP were added into Scotchbond Multi-Purpose primer and adhesive. Dentin shear bond strengths were measured. Adhesive coating thickness, surface texture and dentin-adhesive interfacial structure were examined. Protein adsorption onto adhesive resin surface was determined by the micro bicinchoninic acid method. A human saliva microcosm biofilm model was used to investigate biofilm metabolic activity, colony-forming unit (CFU) counts, and lactic acid production. RESULTS The resin with 7.5% MPC+5% DMAHDM+30% NACP did not adversely affect dentin shear bond strength (p>0.1). The resin with 7.5% MPC+5% DMAHDM+30% NACP produced a coating on root dentin with a thickness of approximately 70μm and completely sealed all the dentinal tubules. The resin with 7.5% MPC+5% DMAHDM+30% NACP had 95% reduction in protein adsorption, compared to SBMP control (p<0.05). The resin with 7.5% MPC+5% DMAHDM+30% NACP was strongly antibacterial, with biofilm CFU being four orders of magnitude lower than that of SBMP control. Significance The novel multifunctional adhesive with strong protein-repellent, antibacterial and remineralization properties is promising to coat tooth roots to prevent root caries and secondary caries. The combined use of MPC, DMAHDM and NACP may have wide applicability to bonding agents, cements, sealants and composites to inhibit caries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The tooth-resin bond is the weak link of restoration, with secondary caries as a main reason for failure. Calcium phosphate-containing resins are promising for remineralization; however, calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) ion releases last only a couple of months. The objectives of this study were to develop the first rechargeable CaP bonding agent and investigate the key factors that determine CaP ion recharge and re-release. METHODS Nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) were synthesized. Pyromellitic glycerol dimethacrylate (PMGDM), ethoxylated bisphenol-A dimethacrylate (EBPADMA), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), and bisphenol-A glycidyl dimethacrylate (BisGMA) were used to synthesize three adhesives (denoted PE, PEH and PEHB). NACP were mixed into adhesive at 0-30% by mass. Dentin shear bond strengths were measured. Adhesive specimens were tested for Ca and P initial ion release. Then the ion-exhausted specimens were immersed in Ca and P solution to recharge the specimens, and the recharged specimens were then used to measure ion re-release for 7 days as one cycle. Then these specimens were again recharged and the re-release was measured for 7 days as the second cycle. Three recharge/re-release cycles were tested. RESULTS PEHB had the highest dentin bond strength (p<0.05). Increasing NACP content from 0 to 30% did not affect dentin bond strength (p>0.1), but increased CaP release and re-release (p<0.05). PEHB-NACP had the greatest recharge/re-release, and PE-NACP had the least (p<0.05). Ion release remained high and did not decrease with increasing the number of recharge/re-release cycles (p>0.1). After the third cycle, specimens without further recharge had continuous CaP ion release for 2-3 weeks. SIGNIFICANCE Rechargeable CaP bonding agents were developed for the first time to provide long-term Ca and P ions to promote remineralization and reduce caries. Incorporation of NACP into adhesive had no negative effect on dentin bond strength. Increasing NACP filler level increased the ion recharge and re-release capability. The new CaP recharge method and PMGDM-EBPADMA-NACP composition may have wide application in adhesives, composites and cements, to combat caries and remineralize lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In spermatogenesis, spermatogonial cells differentiate to the haploid gametes. It has been shown that spermatogenesis can be done at in vitro condition. In vitro spermatogenesis may provide an open window to treat male infertility. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a novel scaffold containing human serum albumin (HSA)/tri calcium phosphate nanoparticles (TCP NPs) on the mouse spermatogonial cell line (SCL). MATERIALS AND METHODS First, TCP NPs were synthesized by reaction of calcium nitrate and diammonium phosphate at pH 13. Then, serial concentrations of TCP NPs were separately added to 500 mg/mL HSA, and incubated in the 100(o)C water for 30 min. In the next step, each scaffold was cut (2×2mm), placed into sterile well of microplate, and then incubated for 1, 2, and 3 days at 37(o)C with mouse SCL. After incubation, the cytotoxicity of the scaffolds was evaluated by different tests including 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay, vital staining, and cell counting. On the other hand, the release of TCP NPs and HSA from the scaffolds was measured. RESULTS Based on microscopic observation, the size of cavities for all scaffolds was near 200-500 µm, and the size of TCP NPs was near 50-100 nm. All toxicity tests showed that the increase of TCP concentration in the scaffold did not affect mouse SCL. It means that the percentage of cell viability, LDH release, vital cells, and cell quantity was 85%, 105%, 90%, and 110%, respectively. But, the increase of incubation time led to increase of LDH release (up to 115%) and cell count (up to 115%). Also, little decrease of cell viability and vital cells was seen when incubation time was increased. Here, no release of TCP NPs and HSA was seen after increase of TCP concentration and incubation time. CONCLUSION It can be concluded that the increase of TCP concentration in HSA/ TCP NPs scaffold does not lead to cytotoxicity. On the other hand, the increase of incubation time leads to increase of mouse SCL cell death. In this study, it was found that TCP NPs and HSA could not release from the scaffolds. In future, both proliferation and differentiation of mouse SCL on HSA/TCP NPs scaffold must be checked over more wide incubation times.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) of tumors causes skin photosensitivity as a result of unspecific accumulation behavior of the photosensitizers. PDT of tumors was improved by calcium phosphate nanoparticles conjugated with (i) Temoporfin as a photosensitizer, (ii) the RGDfK peptide for favored tumor targeting and (iii) the fluorescent dye molecule DY682-NHS for enabling near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) optical imaging in vivo. The nanoparticles were characterized with regard to size, spectroscopic properties and uptake into CAL-27 cells. The nanoparticles had a hydrodynamic diameter of approximately 200 nm and a zeta potential of around +22mV. Their biodistribution at 24h after injection was investigated via NIRF optical imaging. After treating tumor-bearing CAL-27 mice with nanoparticle-PDT, the therapeutic efficacy was assessed by a fluorescent DY-734-annexin V probe at 2 days and 2 weeks after treatment to detect apoptosis. Additionally, the contrast agent IRDye® 800CW RGD was used to assess tumor vascularization (up to 4 weeks after PDT). After nanoparticle-PDT in mice, apoptosis in the tumor was detected after 2 days. Decreases in tumor vascularization and tumor volume were detected in the next few days. Calcium phosphate nanoparticles can be used as multifunctional tools for NIRF optical imaging, PDT and tumor targeting as they exhibited a high therapeutic efficacy, being capable of inducing apoptosis and destroying tumor vascularization.

Abstract
Antibacterial and remineralizing dental composites and adhesives were recently developed to inhibit biofilm acids and combat secondary caries. It is not clear what effect these materials will have on dental pulps in vivo. The objectives of this study were to investigate the antibacterial and remineralizing restorations in a rat tooth cavity model, and determine pulpal inflammatory response and tertiary dentin formation. Nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) and antibacterial dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate (DMADDM) were synthesized and incorporated into a composite and an adhesive. Occlusal cavities were prepared in the first molars of rats and restored with four types of restoration: control composite and adhesive; control plus DMADDM; control plus NACP; and control plus both DMADDM and NACP. At 8 or 30days, rat molars were harvested for histological analysis. For inflammatory cell response, regardless of time periods, the NACP group and the DMADDM+NACP group showed lower scores (better biocompatibility) than the control group (p=0.014 for 8days, p=0.018 for 30days). For tissue disorganization, NACP and DMADDM+NACP had better scores than the control (p=0.027) at 30days. At 8days, restorations containing NACP had a tertiary dentin thickness (TDT) that was five- to six-fold that of the control. At 30days, restorations containing NACP had a TDT that was four- to six-fold that of the control. In conclusion, novel antibacterial and remineralizing restorations were tested in rat teeth in vivo for the first time. Composite and adhesive containing NACP and DMADDM exhibited milder pulpal inflammation and much greater tertiary dentin formation than the control adhesive and composite. Therefore, the novel composite and adhesive containing NACP and DMADDM are promising as a new therapeutic restorative system to not only combat oral pathogens and biofilm acids as shown previously, but also facilitate the healing of the dentin-pulp complex.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic hybrid nanoparticles with calcium phosphate (CaP) core and PEGylated shell were developed to incorporate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid gadolinium (III) (Gd-DTPA) for noninvasive diagnosis of solid tumors. A two-step preparation method was applied to elaborate hybrid nanoparticles with a z-average hydrodynamic diameter about 80nm, neutral surface ξ-potential and high colloidal stability in physiological environments by self-assembly of poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(aspartic acid) block copolymer, Gd-DTPA, and CaP in aqueous solution, followed with hydrothermal treatment. Incorporation into the hybrid nanoparticles allowed Gd-DTPA to show significant enhanced retention ratio in blood circulation, leading to high accumulation in tumor positions due to enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. Moreover, Gd-DTPA revealed above 6 times increase of relaxivity in the nanoparticle system compared to free form, and eventually, selective and elevated contrast enhancements in the tumor positions were observed. These results indicate the high potential of Gd-DTPA-loaded PEGylated CaP nanoparticles as a novel contrast agent for noninvasive cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Composites are the principal material for tooth cavity restorations due to their esthetics and direct-filling capabilities. However, composites accumulate biofilms in vivo, and secondary caries due to biofilm acids is the main cause of restoration failure. The objectives of this study were to: (1) synthesize new antibacterial monomers and (2) develop nanocomposite containing nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP) and antibacterial monomer. METHODS Two new antibacterial monomers were synthesized: dimethylaminohexane methacrylate (DMAHM) with a carbon chain length of 6, and dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate (DMADDM) with a chain length of 12. A spray-drying technique was used to make NACP. DMADDM was incorporated into NACP nanocomposite at mass fractions of 0%, 0.75%, 1.5%, 2.25% and 3%. A flexural test was used to measure composite strength and elastic modulus. A dental plaque microcosm biofilm model with human saliva as inoculum was used to measure viability, metabolic activity, and lactic acid production of biofilms on composites. RESULTS The new DMAHM was more potent than a previous quaternary ammonium dimethacrylate (QADM). DMADDM was much more strongly antibacterial than DMAHM. The new DMADDM-NACP nanocomposite had strength similar to that of composite control (p>0.1). At 3% DMADDM in the composite, the metabolic activity of adherent biofilms was reduced to 5% of that on composite control. Lactic acid production by biofilms on composite containing 3% DMADDM was reduced to only 1% of that on composite control. Biofilm colony-forming unit (CFU) counts on composite with 3% DMADDM were reduced by 2-3 orders of magnitude. SIGNIFICANCE New antibacterial monomers were synthesized, and the carbon chain length had a strong effect on antibacterial efficacy. The new DMADDM-NACP nanocomposite possessed potent anti-biofilm activity without compromising load-bearing properties, and is promising for antibacterial and remineralizing dental restorations to inhibit secondary caries.
