In this paper, we offer a unique green synthetic approach for producing iron sulfide quantum dots (FeS2 QD)-chitosan composites using gel chemistry. The technique uses the environmental features of chitosan, a biocompatible and biodegradable polysaccharide, and the excellent electrical properties of FeS2 QDs. By sustainable chemistry principles, the synthesis process is carried out under gentle settings, using aqueous solutions and avoiding hazardous solvents and strong chemicals. The resulting FeS2 QD-chitosan composite has superior structural integrity, homogeneous QD distribution, and improved physicochemical characteristics. Comprehensive characterization techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and photoluminescence spectroscopy, confirm the successful integration of FeS2 QDs into the chitosan matrix while preserving their quantum properties. This work demonstrates the viability of gel chemistry as a green synthetic technique for generating functional nanocomposites, providing a scalable and environmentally responsible option for advanced material development.

When the kidneys are injured, uremic toxins (UTXs) accumulate in the body, affecting other tissues and causing a loss of essential body functions. This study investigated the adsorption of blood plasma-laden UTXs on the surface of PCL fibers to assess their potential as an alternative to membrane dialysis materials. Using plasma containing 26 UTXs at a concentration similar to that found in end-stage kidney disease patients, we analyzed the adsorbed proteins and examined clot formation in normal and toxin-treated plasma in the presence of PCL fibers. Our findings revealed that the presence of UTXs significantly increased the adsorption of proteins on PCL fiber meshes, without leading to increased clot formation. This suggests a lack of enzymatic activation despite the higher protein adsorption. Additionally, our study indicates that unmodified PCL surfaces have the potential to trigger a strong humoral immune response, underscoring the importance of understanding these interactions for the development of personalized treatment approaches for patients with kidney failure.

当肾脏受损时,尿毒症毒素(UTXs)在体内积聚,影响其他组织并导致基本身体功能的丧失。本研究研究了载血utx在PCL纤维表面的吸附,以评估其作为膜透析材料替代品的潜力。使用含有26个utx的血浆,浓度与终末期肾病患者相似,我们分析了吸附蛋白,并检查了PCL纤维存在下正常血浆和毒素处理血浆中的凝块形成情况。我们的研究结果表明,UTXs的存在显著增加了PCL纤维网对蛋白质的吸附,而不会导致血块形成增加。这表明尽管有较高的蛋白质吸附,但缺乏酶的激活。此外,我们的研究表明,未经修饰的PCL表面有可能引发强烈的体液免疫反应,这强调了了解这些相互作用对于开发针对肾衰竭患者的个性化治疗方法的重要性。

Exploring new ecological and simultaneous processes to modify wood fibers (WF) by-products is a required pathway toward circular economy and sustainability. Thus, plasma-activated water (PAW) and ultrasound (U) were employed as alternative methods to modify WF in a continuous process. Such treatments promoted the etching and cavities on the WF surface that destabilized the hydrogen bonds of the hemicellulose and lignin molecules, increasing the cellulose fraction. The addition of modified WF in the PLA matrix increased the storage modulus (2937 up to 5834) and Young modulus (3990 up to 6000 MPa), indicating well fiber/matrix interactions. The results corroborated that the use of modified WF as fillers could reduce the cost of extruded PLA-based composites and expand the production of bio-based materials for the mobility or packaging field.

探索新的生态和同步工艺来修饰木纤维(WF)副产品是实现循环经济和可持续发展的必要途径。因此,采用等离子体活化水(PAW)和超声(U)作为连续过程中修饰WF的替代方法。这种处理促进了WF表面的蚀刻和空腔,破坏了半纤维素和木质素分子的氢键,增加了纤维素的分数。在PLA基体中加入改性WF提高了存储模量(2937 ~ 5834)和杨氏模量(3990 ~ 6000 MPa),表明纤维/基体相互作用良好。结果证实,使用改性WF作为填料可以降低挤压pla基复合材料的成本,并扩大生物基材料在移动或包装领域的生产。

Cryogels were fabricated by combining polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and chitosan of varying molecular weights (Mw). In this study, the effects of chitosan Mw, types of boron-containing molecules on network formation, and boron release rate in resulted cryogels were investigated. The PVA/chitosan blend maintained a constant 4.5% (w/v) polymer content. PVA to chitosan weight ratio of 6:1 was maintained and fixed. Five percent w/w boric acid and borax (sodium tetraborate) crosslinkers were added in PVA and chitosan mixtures to construct cryogels. The freeze-dried specimens underwent crosslinking evaluation, chemical composition analysis by FTIR, and boron release studies by ICP-MS. The pore morphology and the swelling capacity of the cryogel have been assessed by SEM and incubation in water, respectively. Mechanical test was also used to evaluate the effect of borax and Mw of chitosan on cryogels' mechanical properties. It was demonstrated that the types of boron supply had a significant role on the cryogelation capability. For different chitosan Mw, the cryogels made using borax showed stable cryogels. In contrast, even after altering the chitosan Mw, the formula with boric acid was unable to create stable cryogels. In addition, boron release assay showed that the quantity of free boron in the incubation solutions decreased as the Mw of the chitosan component of the cryogel was reduced. Cell culture studies with MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblast cells in the cryogels indicated that borax-crosslinked samples exhibited sustained cell viability. Alizarin red staining assay was used to study mineralization capacity of boron-containing hydrogels, which confirmed increase of mineralization in low molecular weight chitosan groups.

以不同分子量的聚乙烯醇(PVA)和壳聚糖(壳聚糖)为原料制备低温冰箱。本研究考察了壳聚糖分子量、含硼分子类型对网络形成和硼释放速率的影响。聚乙烯醇/壳聚糖共混物的聚合物含量恒定为4.5% (w/v)。PVA与壳聚糖的重量比保持并固定在6:1。在聚乙烯醇和壳聚糖混合物中加入5% w/w硼酸和硼砂(四硼酸钠)交联剂,构建低温冰箱。冻干后的样品进行交联评价、FTIR化学成分分析和ICP-MS硼释放研究。通过扫描电镜(SEM)和水中孵育对低温凝胶的孔隙形态和膨胀能力进行了表征。通过力学试验,考察了硼砂和壳聚糖对冷冻剂力学性能的影响。结果表明,硼的供应类型对冷冻性能有显著影响。对于不同分子量的壳聚糖,硼砂制备的冷冻剂表现出稳定的冷冻效果。相比之下,即使在改变壳聚糖的分子量后,硼酸配方也无法产生稳定的冷冻物。硼释放量分析表明,随着壳聚糖组分分子量的降低,培养液中游离硼的含量降低。MC3T3-E1成骨前细胞在低温下的细胞培养研究表明,硼砂交联样品具有持续的细胞活力。用茜素红染色法研究了含硼水凝胶的矿化能力,证实了低分子量壳聚糖基团的矿化能力增加。

Cartilage damage resulting from trauma demonstrates a poor capacity for repair due to its avascular nature. Cartilage tissue engineering offers a unique therapeutic option for cartilage recovery. In this study, methylcellulose (MC)/gelatin (GEL) hydrogels (MC10G20, MC12.5G20, MC15G20, and MC17.5G20) were developed to assess and compare their chemical, mechanical, and biological characteristics for cartilage repair. First, the interaction between MC and GEL after blending and subsequent crosslinking with EDC/NHS was confirmed by using FTIR. Mechanical tests under compression test revealed that hydrogels' resistance to both elastic and plastic deformation increased with higher wt.% of MC. The % strain of the hydrogels doubled with the addition of MC, likely due to abundant hydrogen bonding between polymeric chains. Furthermore, the compressive modulus of MC/GEL hydrogels was approximately 0.2 MPa, closely matching modulus of human cartilage tissue. Similarly, the % water retention capacity of the hydrogels increased over the 7 days as the MC content increased. Additionally, SEM images showed that the incorporation of MC to GEL introduced porosity with the diameters ranging from 10 to 50 μm, similar to the size of pores in native cartilage. In vitro cell culture studies confirmed the biocompatibility of MC/GEL hydrogels. Fluorescence staining showed a 2.5-fold increase in F-actin staining following the incorporation of MC into the hydrogels. Overall, this study highlights the potential of MC/GEL hydrogels for cartilage tissue engineering, however, further research is required to assess its full potential.

由于其无血管的性质,外伤引起的软骨损伤表现出较差的修复能力。软骨组织工程为软骨恢复提供了一种独特的治疗选择。在这项研究中,甲基纤维素(MC)/明胶(GEL)水凝胶(MC10G20、MC12.5G20、MC15G20和MC17.5G20)被开发出来,以评估和比较它们在软骨修复中的化学、力学和生物学特性。首先,用FTIR证实了MC与GEL共混后的相互作用,以及随后与EDC/NHS的交联。压缩力学试验结果表明,随着MC质量分数的增加,水凝胶的弹性和塑性变形抗力均有所提高。随着MC的加入,水凝胶的应变增加了一倍,这可能是由于聚合物链之间存在丰富的氢键。此外,MC/GEL水凝胶的压缩模量约为0.2 MPa,与人体软骨组织的模量非常接近。同样,随着MC含量的增加,水凝胶的%保水能力在7天内增加。此外,SEM图像显示,MC与GEL的掺入引入了直径在10 ~ 50 μm之间的孔隙,与天然软骨的孔隙大小相似。体外细胞培养研究证实了MC/GEL水凝胶的生物相容性。在水凝胶中加入MC后,荧光染色显示F-actin染色增加2.5倍。总的来说,本研究强调了MC/GEL水凝胶在软骨组织工程中的潜力,然而,需要进一步的研究来评估其全部潜力。

The antibacterial nanofibrous mat is crucial in biomedicine as it enhances infection control, expedites wound healing, and mitigates health hazards by decreasing antibiotic usage. A novel synergistic antibacterial and hydrophilic nanofibrous mat successfully fabricated by solution electrospinning from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) incorporated Croton bonplandianum Baill (CBB) leaves extract. Antioxidant-enriched leaf extract of the CBB plant was integrated with PVA in varying proportions of 30% (CBB-30), 40% (CBB-40), and 50% (CBB-50) to manufacture antibacterial nanofibrous mat. The zone of inhibition (ZOI) was recorded at 16, 18, and 21 mm for CBB-30, CBB-40, and CBB-50, respectively. The wetted radius, a key parameter for moisture management properties, reached up to 20 mm for CBB-40 and CBB-50. This demonstrates the rapid absorption and quick-drying characteristics, highlighting the exceptional hydrophilicity of the nanofibrous mat. The increased dozing of CBB extract into the PVA also reduced its fiber diameter. The diameters of pure PVA, CBB-30, CBB-40, and CBB-50 were found as 396, 388, 279, and 241 nm, correspondingly. The developed nanofibrous mat, exhibiting ZOI of up to 21 mm, efficient moisture management properties, and a nanoscale fiber diameter of 241 nm, may possess significant uses in the biomedical domain.

抗菌纳米纤维垫在生物医学中至关重要,因为它可以加强感染控制,加速伤口愈合,并通过减少抗生素的使用减轻健康危害。采用静电纺丝法制备了一种新型的协同抗菌亲水性纳米纤维垫。将富含抗氧化剂的黄芪叶提取物以30% (CBB-30)、40% (CBB-40)和50% (CBB-50)的不同比例与PVA结合,制备抗菌纳米纤维垫。CBB-30、CBB-40和CBB-50的抑制区(ZOI)分别为16、18和21 mm。作为水分管理性能的关键参数,CBB-40和CBB-50的润湿半径达到了20 mm。这表明了纳米纤维垫的快速吸收和快干特性,突出了其特殊的亲水性。CBB提取物进入聚乙烯醇的增加也减少了其纤维直径。纯PVA、CBB-30、CBB-40和CBB-50的直径分别为396、388、279和241 nm。所开发的纳米纤维垫,显示出高达21毫米的ZOI,有效的水分管理性能和241纳米的纳米级纤维直径,可能在生物医学领域具有重要的用途。

Biomaterials with antimicrobial and muco-adhesive properties represent an efficient system for different applications. In this paper, a new biomaterial based on chitosan-camphor beads and their crosslinked form with glutaraldehyde was optimized. Low and high molecular weight chitosan were considered. After an optimization procedure of blank beads preparation, various strategies were used to load camphor into chitosan beads where eight different beads suspensions were characterized for their size and encapsulation efficiency of camphor. Powdered camphor was added to the chitosan solution during the beads preparation or to preformed beads while it was dissolving in water or in 2% acetic acid solution. Results showed that, camphor addition to chitosan solution led to the formation of homogeneous suspensions with reproducible and higher encapsulation efficiencies of camphor compared to the other formulations, irrespective of the chitosan weight. In addition, these beads were stable for 1 month of storage at 4°C. The camphor loaded cross-linked beads with glutaraldehyde (referred to as Cam-beads-GA) were more stable than noncross-linked beads (Cam-beads), which also demonstrated satisfactory stability results.

具有抗菌和粘接性能的生物材料代表了不同应用的有效系统。本文对壳聚糖-樟脑珠及其与戊二醛交联的新型生物材料进行了优化。考虑了低分子量和高分子量壳聚糖。在对空白微球制备工艺进行优化后,采用不同的策略将樟脑装入壳聚糖微球中,并对8种不同的微球悬浮液的大小和对樟脑的包封效率进行了表征。在制备微球时,将樟脑粉末加入壳聚糖溶液中,或在水或2%醋酸溶液中溶解时将其加入到预成型微球中。结果表明,在壳聚糖溶液中添加樟脑可形成均匀的混悬液,且与壳聚糖质量无关,其包封效率较高。此外,这些微球在4°C下可以稳定保存1个月。樟脑负载戊二醛交联珠(Cam-beads - ga)的稳定性优于非交联珠(Cam-beads),也显示出令人满意的稳定性结果。傅里叶红外光谱分析证实了樟脑包埋在壳聚糖珠中是通过氢键和潜在的亚胺键发生的。所述优化制剂构成了适用于其它生物活性制剂的给药体系。

This study aims to evaluate the impact of formulation parameters on tannic acid-crosslinked gelatine (GelTA) films, intended as a mucoadhesive matrix for extended buccal drug delivery. GelTA films were prepared using the solvent evaporation technique and screened based on their mucoadhesive and dissolution characteristics. The formulation variables included the source of gelatine (bovine and fish), tannic acid concentration, pH of the film-forming solutions, and the type and concentration of plasticisers. Subsequently, selected films underwent further characterisation (e.g., crosslinking density, stability) to elucidate their features as a drug delivery matrix. GelTA films exhibited a significantly improved dissolution time compared to the non-crosslinked film (BG-GLY20), while maintaining a substantial water uptake capacity conducive to a matrix system with extended action. The bovine GelTA film containing 5% w/w tannic acid and 20% w/w glycerine, prepared at pH 7 (BG-GLY20-7), exhibited a 1.6-fold increase in mucoadhesivity and an extended dissolution time of up to 6 h compared to BG-GLY20 (control), along with superior antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. However, stability studies indicate the need for an oxygen-free environment for film storage. In conclusion, GelTA films show promise as a buccal film matrix, offering extended dissolution times, substantial water uptake, and enhanced adhesive strength.

本研究旨在评估配方参数对单宁酸交联明胶(GelTA)薄膜的影响,该薄膜有望作为延长口腔药物输送的黏着基质。采用溶剂蒸发法制备GelTA薄膜,并根据其黏附性和溶解性进行筛选。配方变量包括明胶的来源(牛和鱼),单宁酸浓度,成膜溶液的pH值,增塑剂的类型和浓度。随后,选定的薄膜进行了进一步的表征(例如,交联密度,稳定性),以阐明其作为药物传递矩阵的特征。与非交联膜(BG-GLY20)相比,GelTA膜的溶解时间明显改善,同时保持了大量的吸水能力,有利于基质体系的扩展作用。在pH为7的条件下制备的含有5%单宁酸和20%甘油的牛凝胶ta膜(BG-GLY20-7),其黏附性比对照组(BG-GLY20)提高了1.6倍,溶解时间延长了6小时,并具有优异的抗氧化和抗菌性能。然而,稳定性研究表明,需要一个无氧的环境来储存薄膜。综上所述,GelTA薄膜作为口腔膜基质具有延长溶解时间、大量吸水和增强粘接强度的优点。

Dipeptides were constructed using hydrophobic amino acid residues following AMP prediction. After that Boc-modification was performed on the screened peptides and finally Boc-Phe-Trp-OMe and Boc-Trp-Trp-OMe were synthesized. Even though no inhibition zones were observed in agar well diffusion assays, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) analysis revealed anti-bacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, with MIC90 ranging from 230 to 400 μg/mL. The crystal violet assay confirmed the dipeptides' biofilm eradication and disruption capabilities. Furthermore, membrane permeabilization assays indicated outer and inner membrane permeabilization, while SEM analysis revealed the formation of fibril and spherical nanostructures, likely contributing to this effect. The peptides also exhibited resistance to protein adsorption, non-cytotoxicity, and non-hemolytic properties, making them promising broad-spectrum anti-bacterial agents with biofilm eradication and disruption potential. This study concludes that Boc-protected phenylalanine- and tryptophan-based dipeptides can self-assemble and can be used as broad-spectrum anti-bacterial agents. The self-assembly of these peptides offers a versatile platform for designing biomaterials with tailored properties and functionalities. Research exploring the anti-bacterial potential of Boc-protected dipeptides has been limited, prompting our investigation to shed light on this overlooked area. Our analysis of synthesized Boc-protected dipeptides revealed notable anti-bacterial activity, marking a significant advancement. This finding suggests that these dipeptides could emerge as potent, broad-spectrum anti-bacterial agents, addressing the urgent need for effective treatments against bacterial resistance and opening new avenues in therapy. This study not only enhances our understanding of these dipeptides but also highlights their potential as innovative and efficacious anti-bacterial agents, making a substantial impact in the clinical field.

根据AMP预测,利用疏水氨基酸残基构建二肽。对筛选的多肽进行boc修饰,最终合成Boc-Phe-Trp-OMe和Boc-Trp-Trp-OMe。尽管在琼脂孔扩散实验中没有观察到抑制区,但最低抑制浓度(MIC)分析显示对革兰氏阳性和革兰氏阴性菌均有抗菌活性,MIC90范围为230 ~ 400 μg/mL。结晶紫实验证实了二肽的生物膜根除和破坏能力。此外,膜透性分析表明膜外透性和膜内透性,而扫描电镜分析显示纤维和球形纳米结构的形成可能是造成这种效果的原因。该多肽还表现出对蛋白质吸附的抗性,无细胞毒性和非溶血特性,使其成为有前途的广谱抗菌药物,具有清除和破坏生物膜的潜力。本研究表明,boc保护的苯丙氨酸和色氨酸二肽具有自组装能力,可作为广谱抗菌药物。这些多肽的自组装为设计具有定制特性和功能的生物材料提供了一个多功能平台。探索boc保护二肽的抗菌潜力的研究有限,这促使我们的研究揭示了这一被忽视的领域。我们对合成的boc保护二肽的分析显示出显著的抗菌活性,这标志着显著的进步。这一发现表明,这些二肽可能成为有效的广谱抗菌药物,解决了有效治疗细菌耐药性的迫切需要,并开辟了新的治疗途径。这项研究不仅增强了我们对这些二肽的理解,而且突出了它们作为创新和有效的抗菌药物的潜力,在临床领域产生了重大影响。

One of the current biotechnological applications is nanofiber applications made from algae using the electrospinning technique. Nanofibers containing poly-caprolactone (PCL) extracted from the brown seaweed Hijiki (Sargassum fusiforme) were prepared using electrospinning technique. Water extraction was performed to preserve the integrity of Hijiki components, ensuring their efficacy in subsequent electrospinning and characterization. The morphology and chemical composition of the nanofibers were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analyses. Hijiki was found to combine well with electrospun biocompatible polymers and effectively provide the common properties of these materials. The cytotoxicity of algae-doped PCL nanofibers was examined in vitro using liver cancer and liver healthy cell lines (HepG2 and The-2). Among hepatic tumor cell lines, the HepG2 cell line has been preferred due to its wide range of scientific applications. Although the nanofibers caused a 28% decrease in liver cancer cell lines viability (HepG2), the decrease in healthy liver cell viability (The-2) was 12%. Algae-doped PCL nanofiber applied to bacteria showed antibacterial effect. Based on the findings, Hijiki macroalgae nanofibers show great promise for tissue regeneration and band-aid applications in the medical industry.

目前的生物技术应用之一是利用静电纺丝技术从藻类中制备纳米纤维。采用静电纺丝技术从褐藻羊栖菜中提取聚己内酯(PCL),制备了含PCL的纳米纤维。水萃取是为了保持羊肉成分的完整性,确保其在随后的静电纺丝和表征中的有效性。利用场发射扫描电镜(FE-SEM)、热重分析(TGA)和傅里叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR)对纳米纤维的形貌和化学成分进行了表征。人们发现羊栖菜与电纺生物相容性聚合物结合良好,并有效地提供了这些材料的共同特性。在肝癌细胞系和肝健康细胞系(HepG2和The-2)的体外实验中,研究了藻类掺杂PCL纳米纤维的细胞毒性。在肝脏肿瘤细胞系中,HepG2细胞系因其广泛的科学应用而受到青睐。虽然纳米纤维导致肝癌细胞系活力(HepG2)下降28%,但健康肝细胞活力(the -2)下降12%。藻类掺杂PCL纳米纤维对细菌具有抗菌作用。基于这些发现,羊栖菜巨藻纳米纤维在医疗行业的组织再生和创可贴应用方面显示出巨大的前景。
