Abstract
Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide, and hypoxia is a major crisis of the brain after stroke. Therefore, providing oxygen to the brain microenvironment can effectively protect neurons from damage caused by cerebral hypoxia. However, there is a lack of timely and effective means of oxygen delivery clinically to the brain for acute cerebral hypoxia. Here, a phase-change based nano oxygen carrier is reported, which can undergo a phase change in response to increasing temperature in the brain, leading to oxygen release. The nano oxygen carrier demonstrate intracerebral oxygen delivery capacity and is able to release oxygen in the hypoxic and inflammatory region of the brain. In the acute ischemic stroke mouse model, the nano oxygen carrier can effectively reduce the area of cerebral infarction and decrease the level of inflammation triggered by cerebral hypoxia. By taking advantage of the increase in temperature during cerebral hypoxia, phase-change oxygen carrier proposes a new intracerebral oxygen delivery strategy for reducing acute cerebral hypoxia.

Abstract
Ischemia or hypoxia can lead to pathological changes in the metabolism and function of tissues and then lead to various diseases. Timely and effective blood resuscitation or improvement of hypoxia is very important for the treatment of diseases. However, there is a need to develop stable, nontoxic, and immunologically inert oxygen carriers due to limitations such as blood shortages, different blood types, and the risk of transmitting infections. With the development of various technologies, oxygen carriers based on hemoglobin and perfluorocarbon have been widely studied in recent years. This paper reviews the development and application of hemoglobin and perfluorocarbon oxygen carriers. The design of oxygen carriers was analyzed, and their application as blood substitutes or oxygen carriers in various hypoxic diseases was discussed. Finally, the characteristics and future research of ideal oxygen carriers were prospected to provide reference for follow-up research.

Abstract
Oxygen is one of the essential requirements for cell survival, retention, and proliferation. The field of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering (TE) has realized considerable achievements for the regeneration of tissues. However, tissue regeneration still lacks the full functionality of solid organ implantations; limited cell survival and retention due to oxidative stress and hypoxia in the deeper parts of tissues remains a perpetual challenge. Especially prior to neovascularization, hypoxia is a major limiting factor, since oxygen delivery becomes crucial for cell survival throughout the tissue-engineered construct. Oxygen diffusion is generally limited in the range 100-200 μm of the thickness of a scaffold, and the cells located beyond this distance face oxygen deprivation, which ultimately leads to hypoxia. Furthermore, before achieving functional anastomosis, implanted tissues will be depleted of oxygen, resulting in hypoxia (<5% dissolved oxygen) followed by anoxic (<0.5% dissolved oxygen) microenvironments. Different types of approaches have been adopted to establish a sustained oxygen supply both in vitro and in vivo. In this review, we have summarized the recent developments in oxygen-generating and/or releasing biomaterials for enhancing cell survival in vitro, as well as for promoting soft and hard tissue repair, including skin, heart, nerve, pancreas, muscle, and bone tissues in vivo. In addition, redox-scavenging biomaterials and oxygenated scaffolds have also been highlighted. The surveyed results have shown significant promise in oxygen-producing biomaterials and oxygen carriers for enhancing cell functionality for regenerative medicine and TE applications. Taken together, this review provides a detailed overview of newer approaches and technologies for oxygen production, as well as their applications for bio-related disciplines.

Abstract
Artificial oxygen carriers, such as favorably hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers, have received considerable attention due to some drawbacks of human donor blood. Among all oxygen carriers, the metal organic framework (MOF) exhibits excellent oxygen-carrying capacity due to its good encapsulation efficiency and competitive biocompatibility. Recently, zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) with unique structure have attracted much attention due to their outstanding solvothermal stability. Notably, ZIF-8, the prototypical ZIF, has been utilized to load hemoglobin (Hb) as a potential blood substitute. In this work, another ZIF material, which possesses a high oxygen binding/release capability, suitable safety profile, high stability, and efficiency as a potential oxygen carrier, was used to encapsulate Hb in an environment-friendly condition.

Abstract
This is a mini review on the biotechnological aspects of the most extensively developed hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers The emphasis is on the most recent Polyhemoglobin-catalase-superoxide dismutase-carbonic anhydrase (PolyHb-CAT-SOD-CA), which is a nanobiotechnological complex that is being investigated and scaled up with the potential for clinical use as nanobiotherapeutics. Hemoglobin, a tetramer, is an excellent oxygen carrier. However, in the body it is converted into toxic dimers. Diacid or glutaraldehyde can crosslink hemoglobin into polyhemoglobin (PolyHb) and prevent its breakdown into toxic dimers. This has been developed and tested in clinical trials. A bovine polyhemoglobin has been approved for routine clinical use for surgical procedures in South Africa and Russia. Clinical trials with human PolyHb in hemorrhagic shock were effective but with a very slight increase in non-fatal myocardial ischemia. This could be due to a number of reasons. For those conditions with ischemia-reperfusion, one would need an oxygen carrier with antioxidant properties. One approach to remedy this is with prepared polyhemoglobin-catalase-superoxide dismutase (PolyHb-CAT-SOD). Another reason is an increase in intracellular pCO2. We therefore added an enhanced level of carbonic anhydrase to prepare a PolyHb-CAT-SOD-CA. The result is an oxygen carrier with enhanced Carbonic Anhydrase for CO2 transport and enhanced Catalase and Superoxide Dismutase for antioxidant functions. Detailed efficacy and safety studies have led to the industrial scale up towards clinical trial. In the meantime, oxygen carriers are being investigated around the world for use in ex vivo biotechnological fluid for organ preservation for transplantation, with one already approved in France.

Abstract
High pancreatic islet sensitivity to hypoxia is an important issue in the field of pancreatic islet transplantation. A promising strategy to improve islet oxygenation in hypoxic conditions is to leverage the properties of hemoglobin as a natural carrier of oxygen. Studies using human or bovine hemoglobin have failed to demonstrate efficacy, probably due to the molecule being unstable in the absence of protective erythrocytes. Recently, marine worm hemoglobins have been shown to be more stable and to possess higher oxygen carrier potential, with 156 oxygen binding sites per molecule compared to four in humans. Previous studies have shown the beneficial effects of two marine worm hemoglobins, M101 and M201, on nonhuman pancreatic islets. However, their effects on human islets have not been tested or compared. In this study, we assessed the impact of both molecules during human islet culture in vitro under hypoxic conditions. Human islets were exposed to both molecules for 24 h in high islet density-induced hypoxia [600 islet equivalents (IEQ)/cm²]. M101 and M201 reduced the release of hypoxic (VEGF) and apoptotic (cyt c) markers in the medium after 24-h culture. Human islet function or viability was improved in vitro in the presence of these oxygen carriers. Thus, the utilization of M101 or M201 could be a safe and easy way to improve human islet oxygenation and survival in hypoxic conditions as observed during islet culture prior to transplantation or islet encapsulation.

Abstract
Hemoglobin is essential for maintaining cellular bioenergetic homeostasis through its ability to bind and transport oxygen to the tissues. Besides its ability to transport oxygen, hemoglobin within erythrocytes plays an important role in cellular signaling and modulation of the inflammatory response either directly by binding gas molecules (NO, CO, and CO2) or indirectly by acting as their source. Once hemoglobin reaches the extracellular environment, it acquires several secondary functions affecting surrounding cells and tissues. By modulating the cell functions, this macromolecule becomes involved in the etiology and pathophysiology of various diseases. The up-to-date results disclose the impact of extracellular hemoglobin on (i) redox status, (ii) inflammatory state of cells, (iii) proliferation and chemotaxis, (iv) mitochondrial dynamic, (v) chemoresistance and (vi) differentiation. This review pays special attention to applied biomedical research and the use of non-vertebrate and vertebrate extracellular hemoglobin as a promising candidate for hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers, as well as cell culture medium additive. Although recent experimental settings have some limitations, they provide additional insight into the modulatory activity of extracellular hemoglobin in various cellular microenvironments, such as stem or tumor cells niches.

Abstract
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is an invaluable tool in biomedical imaging, as it provides anatomical and functional information in real time. Its ability to image at clinically relevant depths with high spatial resolution using endogenous tissues as contrast agents constitutes its major advantage. One of the most important applications of PAI is to quantify tissue oxygen saturation by measuring the differential absorption characteristics of oxy and deoxy Hb. Consequently, PAI can be utilized to monitor tumor-related hypoxia, which is a crucial factor in tumor microenvironments that has a strong influence on tumor invasiveness. Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based therapies, such as photodynamic therapy, radiotherapy, and sonodynamic therapy, are oxygen-consuming, and tumor hypoxia is detrimental to their efficacy. Therefore, a persistent demand exists for agents that can supply oxygen to tumors for better ROS-based therapeutic outcomes. Among the various strategies, NP-mediated supplemental tumor oxygenation is especially encouraging due to its physio-chemical, tumor targeting, and theranostic properties. Here, we focus on NP-based tumor oxygenation, which includes NP as oxygen carriers and oxygen-generating strategies to alleviate hypoxia monitored by PAI. The information obtained from quantitative tumor oxygenation by PAI not only supports optimal therapeutic design but also serves as a highly effective tool to predict therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been widely researched by cancer therapists in recent years. This study aims to establish a drug delivery system combining PDT and chemotherapy to show that chemotherapeutic drugs provide oxygen to PDT, while PDT promotes the release of chemotherapeutic drug. METHODS Firstly, poly(ethylene glycol)-lysine(Ce6)-block-poly(L-glutamate)-imidazole (mPEG-lys(Ce6)-PGA-AIM) was synthesized and self-assembled into micelles that exhibited pH- and ROS-responsiveness and buffering capacity. Perfluorohexanoate-modified cisplatin (FCP), as oxygen carriers, was encapsulated into mPEG-lys(Ce6)-PGA-AIM micelles. Then, the properties of micelles and their biological functions in vivo and in vitro were investigated. RESULTS The micelles exhibited remarkabe stability, pH regulated drug release, good biocompatibility and effective tumor penetration. Cellular uptake demonstrated the efficient endosome/lysosome escape of CFMs, which facilitates the intracellular drug release. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments reflected that CFMs with laser irradiation showed significantly improved therapeutic activity compared with single PDT or chemotherapy. CONCLUSION Chemotherapy and PDT were combined in the form of mutual assistance to provide a promising strategy for clinical treatment.

Abstract
Perfluorocarbon-loaded nanoparticles are powerful theranostic agents, which are used in the therapy of cancer and stroke and as imaging agents for ultrasound and 19F magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Scaling up the production of perfluorocarbon-loaded nanoparticles is essential for clinical translation. However, it represents a major challenge as perfluorocarbons are hydrophobic and lipophobic. We developed a method for continuous-flow production of perfluorocarbon-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles using a modular microfluidic system, with sufficient yields for clinical use. We combined two slit interdigital micromixers with a sonication flow cell to achieve efficient mixing of three phases: liquid perfluorocarbon, PLGA in organic solvent, and aqueous surfactant solution. The production rate was at least 30 times higher than with the conventional formulation. The characteristics of nanoparticles can be adjusted by changing the flow rates and type of solvent, resulting in a high PFC loading of 20-60 wt % and radii below 200 nm. The nanoparticles are nontoxic, suitable for 19F MRI and ultrasound imaging, and can dissolve oxygen. In vivo 19F MRI with perfluoro-15-crown-5 ether-loaded nanoparticles showed similar biodistribution as nanoparticles made with the conventional method and a fast clearance from the organs. Overall, we developed a continuous, modular method for scaled-up production of perfluorocarbon-loaded nanoparticles that can be potentially adapted for the production of other multiphase systems. Thus, it will facilitate the clinical translation of theranostic agents in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of a novel extracellular oxygen carrier (EOC) preservation additive known as HEMO2Life has recently been shown to lead to a superior preservation of different types of solid organs. Our study aimed to investigate the effect of this EOC on extending lung preservation time and its mechanism of action. METHODS Donor pigs were randomly allocated to either of the following 2 groups (n = 6 per group): (1) 36 hours cold preservation or (2) 36 hours cold preservation with 1 g/liter of EOC. The lungs were evaluated through 12 hours of normothermic ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) followed by a left-single lung transplant into a recipient pig. Grafts were reperfused for 4 hours, followed by right pulmonary artery clamping to assess graft oxygenation function. RESULTS During EVLP assessment, EOC-treated lungs showed improvements in physiologic parameters, whereas the control lungs deteriorated. After a total of 48 hours of preservation (36 hours cold + 12 hours normothermic EVLP), transplanted grafts in the treatment group displayed significantly better oxygenation than in the controls (PaO2/FiO2: 437 ± 36 mm Hg vs 343 ± 27 mm Hg, p = 0.041). In addition, the use of EOC led to significantly less edema formation (wet-to-dry ratio: 4.95 ± 0.29 vs 6.05 ± 0.33, p = 0.026), less apoptotic cell death (p = 0.041), improved tight junction preservation (p = 0.002), and lower levels of circulating IL-6 within recipient plasma (p = 0.004) compared with non-use of EOC in the control group after transplantation. CONCLUSION The use of an EOC during an extended pulmonary preservation period led to significantly superior early post-transplant lung function.

Abstract
As an oxygen-transporting protein, free hemoglobin (Hb) often suffers from the disadvantage of undesirable stability and short blood circulation, which severely impairs the potential clinical applications as the blood substitute. In this work, Hb was facilely encapsulated into a kind of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (ZIF-8) inspired by the natural biomineralization process. The obtained ZIF-8 encapsulating Hb (ZIF-8@Hb) showed the small hydrodynamic size of 180.8 nm and neutral zeta potential of -2.1 mV by adjusting the ratio of Hb in ZIF-8 frameworks. Intriguingly, Hb encapsulated by ZIF-8 exhibited significantly enhanced stability in alkaline, oxidation, high temperature, or enzymatic environment compared with free Hb because of the excellent protective MOF coatings. More importantly, the negative charge of Hb neutralized the original positive charge of ZIF-8, which led to the better biocompatibility, lower protein adsorption, and macrophage uptake of ZIF-8@Hb than bare ZIF-8 nanoparticles. Furthermore, ZIF-8@Hb displayed extended blood circulation with the elimination half-life of 13.9 h as well as reduced nonspecific distribution in normal organs compared with free Hb or ZIF-8 nanoparticles. With the above advantages, ZIF-8@Hb showed significantly extended survival time of mice in a disease model of hemorrhagic shock compared with free Hb or bare ZIF-8 nanoparticles. Overall, this work offers a high-stable and long-circulating oxygen carrier platform, which may find wide applications as a blood substitute to treat various oxygen-relevant diseases.

Abstract
Covalent wrapping of recombinant human hemoglobin (Cys-β93→Ala) variant rHb(βC93A) by human serum albumin (HSA) yielded the rHb(βC93A)-HSA3 cluster as an artificial O2 carrier as a red blood cell substitute. Complexation of inositol hexaphosphate to the central rHb(βC93A) core reduced the O2 affinity moderately, in much the same way as that of naked hemoglobin. This reduction might be attributable to the inert, small Ala-β93 residue, which cannot be reacted with the bulky maleimide crosslinker.

Abstract
Short term normothermic reconditioning by machine perfusion after cold storage has shown beneficial effects in renal transplantation models. Systematic investigations concerning the inclusion of washed erythrocytes as oxygen carriers are lacking in this context. Porcine kidneys were subjected to 20 h of static cold storage. Prior to reperfusion, grafts were put on a machine for 2 h of oxygenated (95% O2 ; 5% CO2 ) rewarming perfusion. In one group (n = 6) washed erythrocytes were added to the perfusate after temperature has reached 20°C; the other group (n = 6) was run without additives. Control kidneys (n = 6) were immediately reperfused without treatment. Upon reperfusion in vitro, a more than twofold improvement of renal clearance of creatinine, urinary protein loss, fractional excretion of sodium, efficiency of oxygen utilization (TNa/VO2 ) and a significant reduction of innate immune activation (HMGB1, tenascin C, expression of TLR4) was seen after machine perfusion, compared with the controls. However, no advantage could be obtained by the addition of erythrocytes and inner cortical tissue pO2 always remained above normal values during cell-free machine perfusion. Our data strongly argue in favor of a rewarming perfusion of cold stored donor kidneys but do not substantiate an indication for adding oxygen carriers in this particular setting.

Abstract
In this paper, the relaxation kinetics of the oxidation process of the YBaCo4O7+δ , Y0.95Ti0.05BaCo4O7+δ and Y0.5Dy0.5BaCo4O7+δ oxygen carriers is studied with isothermal reaction data. XRD analysis for fresh samples shows that all the samples have YBaCo4O7+δ structure. Scanning electron microscopy images of samples show that the samples consist of porous agglomerates of primary particles. Isothermal TG experiments are conducted with temperatures of 290°C, 310°C, 330°C and 350°C, respectively. It is found that the Avrami-Eroféev model describes solid-phase changes in the oxygen absorption process adequately. The results show that the distributed activation energies of the oxidation process obtained by the Avrami-Eroféev model are 42.079 kJ mol-1, 42.944 kJ mol-1 and 41.711 kJ mol-1 for the YBaCo4O7+δ , Y0.95Ti0.05BaCo4O7+δ and Y0.5Dy0.5BaCo4O7+δ oxygen carriers, respectively. The kinetic model was obtained to predict the oxygen carrier conversion of oxygen absorption for different time durations. The kinetic parameters obtained here are quite vital when this material is used in reactors.

Abstract
Hemoglobin (Hb) is the most abundant protein in whole blood. This fact implies that the oxygen binding and releasing function of Hb is the most vital for sustaining life. All Hb is compartmentalized in red blood cells (RBCs) with corpuscular Hb concentration of about 35 g/dL, covered with a thin biomembrane. In spite of its abundance, Hb sometimes shows toxicity once it is leaked from RBCs. The shielding effect of the RBC membrane is physiologically important. Based on this structural importance, we have studied artificial red cells (Hb vesicles, HbV) as artificial oxygen carriers, which encapsulate a purified and concentrated Hb solution in phospholipid vesicles, mimicking the cellular structure of RBCs. Our academic research consortium has clarified the safety and efficacy of this HbV, aiming at clinical applications. Because of some superior characteristics to those of RBCs, HbV has the potential for use not only as a transfusion alternative but also for oxygen and carbon monoxide therapeutics, perfusate for transplant organs, and photosensitizer. In this review paper, such potential applications are summarized.

Abstract
Transplantation of encapsulated islets in a bioartificial pancreas is a promising alternative to free islet cell therapy to avoid immunosuppressive regimens. However, hypoxia, which can induce a rapid loss of islets, is a major limiting factor. The efficiency of oxygen delivery in an in vitro model of bioartificial pancreas involving hypoxia and confined conditions has never been investigated. Oxygen carriers such as perfluorocarbons and hemoglobin might improve oxygenation. To verify this hypothesis, this study aimed to identify the best candidate of perfluorodecalin (PFD) or HEMOXCell® to reduce cellular hypoxia in a bioartificial pancreas in an in vitro model of encapsulation ex vivo. The survival, hypoxia, and inflammation markers and function of rat islets seeded at 600 islet equivalents (IEQ)/cm2 and under 2% pO2 were assessed in the presence of 50 μg/mL of HEMOXCell or 10% PFD with or without adenosine. Both PFD and HEMOXCell increased the cell viability and decreased markers of hypoxia (hypoxia-inducible factor mRNA and protein). In these culture conditions, adenosine had deleterious effects, including an increase in cyclooxygenase-2 and interleukin-6, in correlation with unregulated proinsulin release. Despite the effectiveness of PFD in decreasing hypoxia, no restoration of function was observed and only HEMOXCell had the capacity to restore insulin secretion to a normal level. Thus, it appeared that the decrease in cell hypoxia as well as the intrinsic superoxide dismutase activity of HEMOXCell were both mandatory to maintain islet function under hypoxia and confinement. In the context of islet encapsulation in a bioartificial pancreas, HEMOXCell is the candidate of choice for application in vivo.

Abstract
Amphiphilic triblock copolymers mPEG-b-PMAC-b-PCL are synthesized using methoxyl poly(ethylene glycol), cyclic carbonic ester monomer including acryloyl group, and ε-caprolactone. Copolymers are self-assembled into core-shell micelles in aqueous solution. Thiolated hemoglobin (Hb) is conjugated with micelles sufficiently through thiol Michael addition reaction to form hemoglobin nanoparticles (HbNs) with 200 nm in diameter. The conjugation of Hb onto the micelle surface is further confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Feeding ratio of copolymer micelles to Hb at 1:3 would lead to the highest hemoglobin loading efficiency 36.7 wt%. The UV results demonstrate that the gas transporting capacity of HbNs is well remained after Hb is conjugated with polymeric micelles. Furthermore, the obtained HbNs have no obvious detrimental effects on blood components in vitro. This system may thus have great potential as one of the candidates to be developed as oxygen carriers and provide a reference for the modification of protein drugs.

Abstract
Safe and effective artificial oxygen carriers are the subject of great interest due to the problems of traditional blood transfusion and enormous demand in clinical use. In view of its unique oxygen-transport ability and normal metabolic pathways, hemoglobin is regarded as an ideal oxygen-carrying unit. With advances in nano-biotechnology, hemoglobin assemblies as artificial oxygen carriers achieve great development. Here, recent progress on hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers is highlighted in view of two aspects: acellular hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers and cellular hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers. These novel oxygen carriers exhibit advantages over traditional carriers and will greatly promote research on reliable and feasible oxygen carriers.
