Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a prevalent and critical condition in clinical practice. Although certain pharmacological interventions have demonstrated benefits in preclinical studies, none have been proven entirely effective thus far. Therefore, the development of more efficient treatment strategies for ALI is imperative. In this study, we prepared nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) conjugated with anti-VCAM-1 antibodies to encapsulate melatonin (MLT), resulting in VCAM/MLT NLCs. This approach aimed to enhance the distribution of melatonin in lung vascular endothelial cells. The VCAM/MLT NLCs had an average diameter of 364 nm, high drug loading content, and a sustained drug release profile. Notably, the NLCs conjugated with anti-VCAM-1 antibodies demonstrated more specific cellular delivery mediated by the VCAM-1 receptors, increased cellular internalization, and enhanced accumulation in lung tissues. Treatment with VCAM/MLT NLCs effectively alleviated pulmonary inflammation by activating NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent pyroptosis through up-regulation of Sirtuin 1. Our findings suggest that VCAM/MLT NLCs demonstrate remarkable therapeutic effects on ALI in both in vitro and in vivo settings, making them a promising and efficient treatment strategy for ALI.

Abstract
Effective and precise eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the most promising approach to avoid H. pylori-related gastrointestinal disorders. The present study was conducted to demonstrate the efficacy of the co-delivery of hesperidin (Hesp) and clarithromycin (CLR) in nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) against H. pylori. We have produced a new delivery system by combining bioflavonoid Hesp and CLR NLCs to address the failure in single antibiotic therapies. Briefly, a blend of solid lipid, liquid lipid, and surfactant was used. Homogeneous NLCs with all the formulations showed a nano size and surface-negative charge and presented high in vitro stability and slow release of the drug even after 24 h. Bioimaging studies by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and imaging flow cytometry indicated that NLCs interacted with the membrane by adhering to the outer cell membrane and disrupted the membrane that resulted in the leakage of cytoplasmic contents. The prepared NLCs provide sustained and controlled drug release that can be used to increase the rate of H. pylori eradication.

Abstract
Cryptococcus neoformans-mediated meningoencephalitis is a critical infectious disorder of the human central nervous system. However, efficient treatment for the disease is limited due to the poor penetration across the blood brain barrier (BBB). Here, we develop a nose-to-brain drug delivery system utilizing nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs). We demonstrated that fluorescent-dye-loaded NLCs efficiently uptake into the cytoplasm of encapsulated C. neoformans cells. In comparison with current antifungal drugs, the ketoconazole (keto)-NLCs show significantly increased antifungal activity against C. neoformans in vivo under various growth conditions. The NLCs show enhanced tissue colonization properties. Importantly, using animal imaging analyses, NLCs are able to enter brain tissues via the olfactory bulb region by intranasal administration, bypassing the BBB. In addition, NLCs maintain prolonged residence in tissues. In mouse brain tissue, keto-NLCs showed significantly enhanced antifungal activity when administered intranasally, drastically dampening the C. neoformans burden. Taken together, NLCs not only improve the ketoconazole penetration efficiency against capsulated C. neoformans cells, but also boost the efficacy of antifungal drugs. Most importantly, keto-NLCs significantly contribute to the treatment of cryptococcal meningoencephalitis in mice by bypassing the BBB via the olfactory system.

Abstract
The pathogenic bacteria delay wound healing due to their interaction in the wound area. This study is aimed to evaluate the efficiency of topical rosemary essential oil (REO) loaded into the nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) on in vitro antibacterial activity and in vivo infected wound healing process in the animal model. REO-NLCs morphology, size and in vitro antibacterial activity were done. Two circular full-thickness wound (each 6 mm) were made on the back of each mouse and each wound was infected with a solution containing 107 CFU Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Animals were divided into four groups including control, Mupirocin® and two treated groups with a gel containing REO and REO-NLCs. For this purpose, tissue bacterial count, histological assessment, serum level of IL-3, IL-10, VEGF and SDF-1α were evaluated. REO-NLCs showed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Moreover, REO-NLCs could reduce the rate of tissue bacterial colonization and wound size, while they increased the vascularization, fibroblast infiltration, re-epithelialization, collagen production, IL-3, IL-10, VEGF and SDF-1α serum levels. Our finding revealed the REO-NLCs have antibacterial properties and accelerated infected wound healing, and so that confirming their potential clinical uses for the treatment of infected wounds.

Abstract
A nanostructure lipid carrier (NLC) composed of solid, and liquid lipid as a core has been developed as a delivery system for hydrophobic drug molecules. The aim of this research was to fabricate an oleoyl-quaternized-chitosan (CS)-coated NLC, where the mucoadhesive property of nanoparticles is enhanced for more efficient drug delivery. NLC loaded with alpha-mangostin (AP), a model hydrophobic drug, were fabricated using a high pressure homogenization process and subsequently coated with CS. The fabricated nanoparticles showed particle sizes in the range of 200-400nm, with low polydispersity, high physical stability and excellent encapsulation efficiency (EE>90%). Additionally, in vitro viability, cytotoxicity and ability of NLC and CS-NLC to affect apoptosis in carcinoma Caco-2 cells were determined using the Triplex assay. Gene expressiom analysis were performed using quantitative reverse transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR). Moreover, in vivo toxicological testing of NLCs was conducted in zebrafish embryos. Results indicated that CS-NLC provieded high cytotoxicity than NLC itself. In the case of AP loaded nanoparticles, NLC loaded with AP (AP-NLC), and CS-NLC loaded with AP (CS-AP-NLC) exhibited higher cytotoxicity to Caco-2 over Hela cells. These results indicate that CS-NLC shows enhanced cellular uptake but increased cytotoxicity characteristics over NLC and therefore careful optimization of dosage and loading levels in CS-NLC is needed to allow cancer cell targeting, and for exploiting the potential of these systems in cancer therapy.
