Abstract
The aim of this study is to prepare and characterise mucoadhesive silica-coated silver nanoparticles loaded with ciprofloxacin (S-AgNPs-CSCFX), and investigate serum biochemical, haematological, and histopathological effects in Sprague Dawley rats upon oral administration. S-AgNPs-CSCFX microparticles were prepared using three fluid nozzle spray drying and characterised by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray dispersive spectrometry (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), zeta potential and particles size measurements and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). Adult male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided between six-treated groups, including blank S-AgNPs and S-AgNPs-CSCFX (LD: Low dose; MD: Median Dose; HD: High Dose) and control group. Each group was treated daily to evaluate the effect of the prepared particles on the lipid profile, serum biochemical, hormonal level, haemogram, and vital organ histopathology. The results showed successful encapsulation of silver nanoparticles which resulted in spherical-shaped S-AgNPs-CSCFX with an average size of 1-5 μm and surface charge of 25.2 ± 5.52 mv. The in-vivo results showed that different doses of blank S-AgNPs and S-AgNPs-CSCFX had no significant toxic effects on the physiological, biochemical, and haematological parameters. There were no marked histopathological alterations in the vital organs of the treated rats with blank and loaded particles.

Abstract
The application of biocompatible nanocarriers in medicine has provided several benefits over conventional treatment methods. However, achieving high treatment efficacy and deep penetration of nanocarriers in tumor tissue is still challenging. To address this, stimuli-responsive nano-sized drug delivery systems (DDSs) are an active area of investigation in delivering anticancer drugs. While ultrasound is mainly used for diagnostic purposes, it can also be applied to affect cellular function and the delivery/release of anticancer drugs. Therapeutic ultrasound (TUS) has shown potential as both a stand-alone anticancer treatment and a method to induce targeted drug release from nanocarrier systems. TUS approaches have been used to overcome various physiological obstacles, including endothelial barriers, the tumor microenvironment (TME), and immunological hurdles. Combining nanomedicine and ultrasound as a smart DDS can increase in situ drug delivery and improve access to impermeable tissues. Furthermore, smart DDSs can perform targeted drug release in response to distinctive TMEs, external triggers, or dual/multi-stimulus. This results in enhanced treatment efficacy and reduced damage to surrounding healthy tissue or organs at risk. Integrating DDSs and ultrasound is still in its early stages. More research and clinical trials are required to fully understand ultrasound's underlying physical mechanisms and interactions with various types of nanocarriers and different types of cells and tissues. In the present review, ultrasound-mediated nano-sized DDS, specifically focused on cancer treatment, is presented and discussed. Ultrasound interaction with nanoparticles (NPs), drug release mechanisms, and various types of ultrasound-sensitive NPs are examined. Additionally, in vitro, in vivo, and clinical applications of TUS are reviewed in light of the critical challenges that need to be considered to advance TUS toward an efficient, secure, straightforward, and accessible cancer treatment. This study also presents effective TUS parameters and safety considerations for this treatment modality and gives recommendations about system design and operation. Finally, future perspectives are considered, and different TUS approaches are examined and discussed in detail. This review investigates drug release and delivery through ultrasound-mediated nano-sized cancer treatment, both pre-clinically and clinically.

Abstract
Although radiotherapy is one of the most common treatments for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), it frequently has unsatisfactory therapeutic outcomes due to the radiation resistance of tumor tissues. Therefore, a synergistic strategy is urgently needed to increase therapeutic responses and prolong patient survival. Herein, we constructed gold nanocages (GNCs) loaded with a hyperpyrexia-sensitive nitric oxide (NO) donor (thiolate cupferron) to integrate extrinsic radiosensitization, local photothermal therapy, and near-infrared-activated NO gas therapy. The resulting nanoplatform (GNCs@NO) showed a high photothermal conversion efficiency, which induced the death of cancer cells and facilitated rapid NO release in tumor tissues. The radiosensitizing efficacy of GNCs@NO was further demonstrated in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, the released NO reacted with the reactive oxide species induced by radiotherapy to produce more toxic reactive nitrogen species, exerting a synergistic effect to improve anticancer efficacy. Thus, GNCs@NO demonstrated excellent effects as a combination therapy with few adverse effects. Our work proposes a promising nanoplatform for the radio/photothermal/gas treatment of TNBC.

Abstract
A new plasmonic biosensor was developed in a planar chip-based format by coupling the plasmonic properties of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) with the mechanical and bioadhesive features of unconventional organic thin films deposited from plasma, namely primary amine-based plasma polymer films (PPFs). A self-assembled layer of spherical Au NPs, 12 nm in diameter, was electrostatically immobilized onto optically transparent silanised glass. In the next step, the Au NP layer was coated with an 18 nm polymeric thick PPF layer via the simultaneous polymerization/deposition of a cyclopropylamine (CPA) precursor performed by radio frequency discharge, both in pulsed and in continuous wave modes. The CPA PFF surface plays the dual role of an adsorbent towards negatively charged chemical species as well as an enhancer of plasmonic signals. The biosensor was tested in a proof-of-concept series of experiments of human serum albumin physisorption, and chosen as a model system for blood serum. The peculiar surface features of CPA PPF, before and after the exposure to buffered solution of fluorescein isothiocyanate-labelled human serum albumin (FITC-HSA), were investigated by a multi-technique approach, including UV-visible and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, contact angle and surface free energy measurements. The results showed the very promising potentialities from both bioanalytical and physicochemical points of view in scrutinizing the macromolecule behavior at the biointerface.

Abstract
Applying toxic chemical to the synthesis of stable gold nanoparticles is one of the limitations of gold nanoparticles for therapeutic applications such as photothermal therapy. Plant compounds such as apigenin (API) with therapeutic potential can be applied in the synthesis of gold nanoparticles. API‐coated gold nanoparticles (Api@AuNPs) with an average size of 19.1 nm and a surface charge of −4.3 mV have been synthesized by a simple and efficient technique. The stability of Api@AuNPs in the biological environment was verified through UV‐Vis spectroscopy. Based on Raman and FTIR spectroscopy analysis, chemical binding of API on the surface of Api@AuNPs through hydroxyl and carbonyl functional groups was found to be the main reason for the stability of the Api@AuNPs in comparison with citrate‐coated gold nanoparticles (Cit@AuNPs). The synthesized Api@AuNPs do not cause major toxic effects up to 128 ppm. Api@AuNP‐mediated photothermal therapy leads to the indiscriminate eradication of almost half of both mouse fibroblastic (L929) and colorectal cancer (CT26) cells. Flow‐cytometry analysis revealed that the cell death mechanism is mainly apoptosis. In the apoptosis triggered cell death in photothermal treatment, Api@AuNPs are preferred over commonly used gold nanoparticles in photothermal treatments which mostly trigger the necrosis cell death pathway.

Abstract
This study sought to improve the oral bioavailability and enhance the anti-enteritis effect of fraxetin by incorporating it into long circulating liposomes (F-LC-Lipo). The optimal formulation of F-LC-Lipo was obtained via orthogonal design. The particle size, morphology, encapsulation efficiency, stability, and anti-enteritis effect of F-LC-Lipo were evaluated. The particle size of F-LC-Lipo was 166.65 ± 8.75 nm with entrapment efficiency (EE) of 92.18 ± 0.17%. The release rate in different dissolution media (pH 1.2 HCl, DDW, and pH 7.4 PBS) was significantly higher than that of fraxetin solution. Compared with the free fraxetin solution, F-LC-Lipo increased oral bioavailability of fraxetin by 4.43 times (443%). More importantly, F-LC-Lipo could improve the levels of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), IL-6, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP), prostaglandin E2 (PEG2), and IL-10 in rats with enteritis. Overall, these results suggested that LC-Lipo may serve as a potential carrier for improving the solubility and oral bioavailability of fraxetin as well as improving its enteritis effect.

Abstract
Uremic toxins, a group of uremic retention solutes with high concentration which their accumulation on the body makes several biological problems, have recently gained a large interest. The importance of this issue more targets patients with compromised kidney function since the presence of these toxins in their bodies contributes to serious illness and death. It is reported that around 14% of people are subjected of CKD's problems. Among different classifications of uremic toxins, protein bound uremic toxins are poorly removed from the body as they tightly bind to proteins like serum albumin. A deeper and closer understanding of methods for removing protein bound uremic toxins and their efficiency is of paramount importance. This article discussed the most critical protein bound uremic toxins from different points of view including their chemistry, binding sites, interactions, and their biological impacts. Concerning the toxicity and high concentration, p-cresyl sulfate (PCS), Indoxyl sulfate (IS), 3-Carboxy-4-methyl-5-propyl-2-furanpropionic acid (CMPF), and Indole- 3-acetic acid (IAA) was chosen to study in this article. Results offered that the functional groups of mentioned PBUTs and the way that they interact with the adsorbent play an important role in finding substances for removal of them. Furthermore, the development of nanoparticle (NPs) for promising biomedical purposes has been explored. However, there is still a need for further investigation to find biocompatible substances focusing on the removal of PBUTs. PBUTs are a unique class of uremic toxins whose renal clearance mechanisms and role in uremic pathophysiology are still unclear. This review outlines the biochemical aspects of PBUT/protein binding in a view to explaining their renal formation to elimination mechanisms; some examples are drawn from routes involving albumin-binding with indoxyl sulphate, p-cresyl sulfate, p-cresyl glucuronide and hippuric acid. We have also highlighted the kinetic behaviors during dialytic removal of PBUTs to address future concerns regarding dialytic therapy.

Abstract
In this study, procyanidin dimers and Leucosidea sericea total extract (LSTE) were employed in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and characterized by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Visible) spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) techniques. AgNPs of about 2–7 nm were obtained. DLS and stability evaluations confirmed that the AgNPs/procyanidins conjugates were stable. The formed nanoparticles exhibited good inhibitory activities against the two enzymes studied. The IC50 values against the amylase enzyme were 14.92 ± 1.0, 13.24 ± 0.2, and 19.13 ± 0.8 µg/mL for AgNPs coordinated with LSTE, F1, and F2, respectively. The corresponding values for the glucosidase enzyme were 21.48 ± 0.9, 18.76 ± 1.0, and 8.75 ± 0.7 µg/mL. The antioxidant activities were comparable to those of the intact fractions. The AgNPs also demonstrated bacterial inhibitory activities against six bacterial species. While the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of F1-AgNPs against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus were 31.25 and 15.63 µg/mL respectively, those of LSTE-AgNPs and F2-AgNPs against these organisms were both 62.50 µg/mL. The F1-AgNPs demonstrated a better bactericidal effect and may be useful in food packaging. This research also showed the involvement of the procyanidins as reducing and capping agents in the formation of stable AgNPs with potential biological applications.

Abstract
Because of their biocompatibility and biosafety, pegylated Au NPs (Au@PEG), as a nanodrug-carrier, have been widely applied in different biomedical applications, including imaging and drug delivery systems. Under such conditions, the biosafety of Au@PEG has attracted tremendous attention. However, only a small number of studies focused on the neurotoxicity of Au@PEG used as drug delivery carriers not to mention reducing the neurotoxicity of Au@PEG. To address this issue, the adverse effects of Au@PEG on human neuroblastoma SHSY5Y cells were first investigated. The results showed that 4.5 nm Au@PEG significantly induced cell apoptosis through upregulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and disordering the mitochondrial membrane potential. To further evaluate whether the neurotoxicity of Au@PEG could be improved through conjugating antioxidants on the surface of Au@PEG, Trolox (a vitamin E analogue)-functionalized Au@PEG (Au@Trolox) was synthesized. The results showed that the neurotoxicity of Au@PEG on SHSY5Y cells could be significantly improved by Au@Trolox. Next, mice were subjected to administration of 4.5 nm Au@PEG and Au@Trolox for 3 months. An increase of oxidative stress and a decrease in the activity of key antioxidant enzymes including glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) were observed after long-term injection of Au@PEG. More importantly, both the apoptosis of neurons and the activation of astrocytes were observed in the hippocampus of mice injected with Au@PEG. In contrast, the adverse effects of Au@PEG could be improved when injected with Au@Trolox. In short, the present study provided new insights into the toxicity evaluation of nanoparticles and would help to better understand and prevent the neurotoxicity of nanomaterials used in pharmaceutics.

Abstract
Copper (II) oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NPs) have been studied as potential antimicrobial agents, similar to silver or platinum nanoparticles. However, the use of excess NPs is limited by their safety and toxicity in beneficial microflora and human cells. In this study, we evaluated the cytotoxicity of CuO-NPs by coating with a novel cyclic peptide, CuO binding peptide 1 (CuBP1), cyclic-SCATPFSPQVCS, which binds to the surface of CuO-NPs. CuBP1 was identified using biopanning of a T7 phage display system and was found to promote the aggregation of CuO-NPs under mild conditions. The treated CuO-NPs with CuBP1 caused the reduction of the cytotoxicity against Escherichia coli, Lactobacillus helveticus, and five other microorganisms, including bacteria and eukaryotes. Similar effects were also demonstrated against human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells in vitro. Our findings suggested that the CuO-NPs coated with a surface-binding peptide may have applications as a safe antimicrobial agent without excessive cytotoxic activity against beneficial microflora and human cells. Moreover, a similar tendency may be achieved with other metal particles, such as silver or platinum NPs, by using optimal metal binding peptides.

Biol Trace Elem Res 2017; 180:306-313.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been increasingly used as antimicrobial and disinfectant. However, intestinal model studies have shown that AgNPs induce oxidative stress. Hence, this study aims to investigate the effects of dietary supplemental zinc (Zn) and vitamin E (VE; α-tocopherol acetate) on attenuating AgNP-induced intestinal oxidative stress in broiler chickens. The chickens were divided into two groups as follows: (1) control group fed with a corn-soybean meal basal diet and (2) nano group, received drinking water containing 1000 mg/kg AgNPs. All the nano-exposed birds were divided into six dietary treatment groups, namely, the basal diets supplemented with (1) 60 mg/kg Zn as ZnSO4, (2) 120 mg/kg Zn, (3) 100 mg/kg VE, (4) 200 mg/kg VE, (5) 60 mg/kg Zn and 100 mg/kg VE, and (6) 120 mg/kg Zn and 200 mg/kg VE. Results showed that the AgNPs significantly reduced the body weights of the broilers after 42 days of oral administration of AgNPs (P < 0.05), and this effect was not alleviated by any of the dietary treatments. The activity of superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD) increased in all the AgNP-treated birds (P < 0.05); however, CuZn-SOD did not increase in birds fed with basal diet supplemented with 200 mg/kg VE. In this treatment, the VE exerted an antioxidant effect to prevent the activation of the CuZn-SOD enzyme. Furthermore, supplementing Zn increased the activities of catalase and glutathione peroxidase in the jejunal mucosa (P < 0.05), which were accompanied with increased malondialdehyde levels (P < 0.05) in the broilers. AgNP exposure resulted in a significant messenger RNA (mRNA) upregulation of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and TLR2-1 in the jejunal mucosa (P < 0.05). However, supplemental ZnVE did not reduce TLRs' mRNA expression, except for the diminished TLR2-1 mRNA levels in birds fed with basal diet supplemented with 120 mg/kg Zn and 200 mg/kg VE. We concluded that although dietary Zn and VE supplementation did not attenuate growth depression effect of AgNP, it however attenuates intestinal oxidative stress in AgNP-treated broiler chickens.

Abstract
The green synthesis of tin oxide nanoparticles (SnO2 NPs) using vitamin C (Vc) as a reducing agent via a biosynthetic approach is described. The effect of Vc-stabilized SnO2 NPs on the body weight of neonatal rats is also studied. The prepared SnO2NPs were characterized using spectroscopic and microscopic instrumental techniques including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-visible spectrophotometry (UV-vis), X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, which confirmed the formation of NPs. TEM images confirmed the formation of spherical NPs with a mean particle size of around 30nm. The body weight studies showed that vitamin-C stabilized SnO2 NPs promote a higher body weight gain compared to raw SnO2 NPs. It was also shown that Vc can counteract the decreased body weight caused by SnO2 NPs in neonatal rats.

Abstract
Melanoma is a most aggressive skin cancer with limited therapeutic options and its incidence is increasing rapidly in recent years. The discovery and application of new targeted therapy agents have shown significant benefits. However, adverse side-effects and resistance to chemotherapy remain formidable challenges in the clinical treatment of malignant melanoma. Nanotherapeutics offers an important prospect of overcoming these drawbacks. The anti-tumoral applications of nanomedicine are varied, including those in chemotherapy, RNA interference, photothermal therapy, and photodynamic therapy. Furthermore, nanomedicine allows delivery of the effector structures into the tumor site via passive or active targeting, thereby allowing increased therapeutic specificity and reduced side effects. In this review, we summarize the latest developments in the application of nanocarrier-mediated targeted drug delivery to melanoma and nanomedicine-related clinical trials in melanoma treatment. We also discuss existing problems and opportunities for future developments, providing direction and new thoughts for further studies.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have shown promising medical applications in cancer treatment involved in the regulation of intracellular redox balance. Previously, we have reported that GNPs can trigger apoptosis and necrosis in human lung cancer cells (A549) when L-buthionine-sulfoximine (BSO) was used to decrease the expression of intracellular glutathione (GSH). Herein, we investigated the cytotoxicity of GNPs toward lung cancer cells under the glutamate cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (GCLC) was silenced by siRNA. Our results showed that GNPs cause apoptosis and necrosis in cells transfected with GCLC siRNA by elevating intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). These findings demonstrated that the regulation of glutathione synthesis by GCLC siRNA in A549 cells can initiate the gold nanoparticles-induced cytotoxicity.
