Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to design a novel titanium surface coated with a PVA hydrogel matrix and chitosan-based nanoparticles and to investigate the antibiotic release and its ability to inhibit microbial activity. METHODS Two drug delivery systems were developed and mixed. Chitosan-based nanoparticles (NP) and a polyvinyl alcohol film (PVA). The size, ζ-potential, stability, adhesive properties, and encapsulation profile of NP, as well as the release kinetics of drug delivery systems and their antimicrobial ability of PVA and PVANP films, were studied on Ti surfaces. The systems were loaded with doxycycline, vancomycin, and doxepin hydrochloride. RESULTS Nanoparticles presented a ζ-potential greater than 30 mV for 45 days and the efficiency drug encapsulation was 26.88% ± 1.51% for doxycycline, 16.09% ± 10.24% for vancomycin and 17.57% ± 11.08% for doxepin. In addition, PVA films were loaded with 125 μg/mL of doxycycline, 125 μg/mL of vancomycin, and 100 μg/mL of doxepin. PVANP-doxycycline achieved the antibacterial effect at 4 h while PVA-doxycycline maintained its effect at 24 h.

Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:497. [PMID: 38399875 PMCID: PMC10892577 DOI: 10.3390/polym16040497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA) is a natural biodegradable biopolymer; its biological functions include cell adhesion, cell proliferation, and differentiation as well as decreasing inflammation, angiogenesis, and regeneration of damaged tissue. This makes it a suitable candidate for fabricating nanomaterials with potential use in tissue engineering. However, HA nanofiber production is restricted due to the high viscosity, low evaporation rate, and high surface tension of HA solutions. Here, hybrids in the form of continuous and randomly aligned polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-(HA)-siloxane nanofibers were obtained using an electrospinning process. PVA-HA fibers were crosslinked by a 3D siloxane organic-inorganic matrix via sol-gel that restricts natural hydrophilicity and stiffens the structure. The hybrid nanofiber mats were characterized by FT-IR, micro-Raman spectroscopy, SEM, and biological properties. The PVA/HA ratio influenced the morphology of the hybrid nanofibers. Nanofibers with high PVA content (10PVA-8 and 10PVA-10) form mats with few beaded nanofibers, while those with high HA content (5PVA-8 and 5PVA-10) exhibit mats with mound patterns formed by "ribbon-like" nanofibers. The hybrid nanofibers were used as mats to support osteoblast growth, and they showed outstanding biological properties supporting cell adhesion, cell proliferation, and cell differentiation. Importantly, the 5PVA-8 mats show 3D spherical osteoblast morphology; this suggests the formation of tissue growth. These novel HA-based nanomaterials represent a relevant advance in designing nanofibers with unique properties for potential tissue regeneration.

Fabrication of an Injectable Star-polylactide/Thiolated Hyaluronate Hydrogel as a Double Drug-Delivery System for Cancer Treatment. ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:16789-16799.

Abstract
Unsatisfactory solid-tumor penetration or rapid metabolism of nanomaterials limits their therapeutic efficacy. Here, we designed an injectable thiolated hyaluronate (HA-SH) hydrogel as a stable drug-releasing platform for in situ tumor treatment. Biodegradable star-shaped polylactide (S-PLLA) was first synthesized and fabricated to porous microspheres to encapsulate hydrophobic curcumin (Cur@S-PLLA), which was then blended with hydrophilic doxorubicin (Dox) and the HA-SH precursor to form composite in situ formable hydrogels [Cur@S-PLLA/(Dox)HA-SH]. The results showed that adding the microspheres improved the performance of the hydrogel, such as decreasing the gelation time from 1080 s to 960 s and also the swelling ratio. The mechanical strength increased from 27 to 45 kPa. In addition, the double drug system guaranteed a sustained release of drugs, releasing Dox at the early stage, with the continuous later release of Cur after gel swelling or S-PLLA degradation to achieve long-lasting tumor suppression, which inhibits the survival of cancer cells. The inhibitory effects of the hydrogels on MCF-7 were studied. The cell activity in the double-loaded hydrogel was significantly lower than that of the control groups, and apparent dead cells appeared in 2 days and fewer living cells with time. Flow cytometry revealed that the Cur@S-PLLA/(Dox)HA-SH group had the highest apoptosis ratio of 86.60% at 12 h, and the drugs caused the cell cycle to be blocked in phase M to reduce cell division. In summary, the innovative release platform is expected to be used in long-lasting tumor suppression and provides more ideas for the design of drug carriers.

Abstract
The efficacy of treating solid tumors with chemotherapy is primarily hindered by dose-limiting toxicity due to off-target effects and the heterogeneous drug distribution caused by the dense extracellular matrix. The enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect within tumors restricts the circulation and diffusion of drugs. To overcome these obstacles, hydrogels formed in situ at the tumor site have been proposed to promote drug accumulation, retention, and long-lasting release. We developed a thiolated chitosan (CSSH) hydrogel with a gelation point of 37°C. Due to the pH-sensitive characteristics of disulfides, the prepared hydrogel facilitated drug release in the acidic tumor environment. A drug release system composed of hydrophilic doxorubicin (Dox) and hydrophobic liposome-encapsulated curcumin (Cur–Lip) was designed to enhance the long-lasting therapeutic impacts and reduce adverse side effects. These composite gels possess a suitable gelation time of approximately 8–12 min under physiological conditions. The cumulative release ratio was higher at pH = 5.5 than at pH = 7.4 over the first 24 h, during which approximately 10% of the Dox was released, and Cur was released slowly over the following 24–120 h. Cell assays indicated that the Cur–Lip/Dox/CSSH gels effectively inhibited the growth of cancer cells. These in situ-formed Cur–Lip/Dox gels with long-term drug release capabilities have potential applications for tumor suppression and tissue regeneration after surgical tumor resection.

Abstract
Photothermal and photodynamic therapies (PTT/PDT) have been widely accepted as noninvasive therapeutic methods for cancer treatment. However, tumor hypoxia and insufficient delivery of photoactive compounds to cancer cells can reduce the efficacy of phototherapy. Herein, we first synthesized thiolated hyaluronic acid (THA) and then conjugated it with catalase (CAT) onto chlorin e6 (Ce6)-adsorbed small gold nanorods (Ce6@sAuNRs) with near-infrared (NIR)/visible light activated photothermal/photodynamic effects. The conjugation of THA and CAT on Ce6@sAuNRs resulted in a red-shift of the longitudinal LSPR absorption band of sAuNRs up to 1000 nm and maintained the excellent enzymatic activity of catalase. Modification of Ce6@sAuNRs with THA resulted in efficient internalization of the nanocomposite into MCF-7/ADR multidrug-resistant (MDR) breast cancer cells (CD44+), thereby significantly enhancing the intracellular accumulation of the photosensitizer Ce6. CAT endows Ce6@sAuNRs with self-supporting oxygen production, which enables them to efficiently generate singlet oxygen (1O2) under 660 nm laser irradiation and enhances the photodynamic effect against hypoxic breast cancer cells. The results highlight the prospect of this novel multi-functional nanoplatform integrating active biological macromolecules (THA and CAT) into photosensitizer/photothermal gold nanocomposites in overcoming the limitations of hypoxic MDR breast cancer cell treatment.

Abstract
Due to the nature of non-invasive wound closure, the ability to close different forms of leaks, and the potential to immobilize various devices, bioadhesives are altering clinical practices. As one of the vital factors, bioadhesives' strength is determined by adhesion and cohesion mechanisms. As well as being essential for adhesion strength, the cohesion mechanism also influences their bulk functions and the way the adhesives can be applied. Although there are many published reports on various adhesion mechanisms, cohesion mechanisms have rarely been addressed. In this review, we have summarized the most used cohesion mechanisms. Furthermore, the relationship of cohesion strategies and adhesion strategies has been discussed, including employing the same functional groups harnessed for adhesion, using combinational approaches, and exploiting different strategies for cohesion mechanism. By providing a comprehensive insight into cohesion strategies, the paper has been integrated to offer a roadmap to facilitate the commercialization of bioadhesives. Bioadhesive are altering clinical practices. Bioadhesives for medical applications needs different cohesion strategies. Better understanding of cohesion mechanism can design suitable bioadhesives.

Abstract
Wound dressing adherence is an important problem that is frequently encountered in wound care, and is associated with both clinical and economic burdens. However, only a few review articles have focused on this issue. The objective of this review was to present a comprehensive discussion of wound dressing adherence, including the mechanism of dressing adherence, adverse consequences (clinical burdens and economic burdens), factors affecting adherence (dressing-, patient- and wound-related factors, and factors related to the wound care procedure), tests to assess dressing adherence (in vitro assay, in vivo assay and clinical trials), and reduction of wound adherence (modification of dressing adherence and special care in particular patients). Accordingly, this review article emphasises an awareness of dressing adherence, and is intended to be an informative source for the development of new dressings and for wound management.

Abstract
The present study establishes an experimental design for the preparation of new bi and tri-layer mucoadhesive sublingual films based on basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) seed mucilage (OBM) as novel plant-polysaccharide for oromucosal administration of nystatin (Nys). The films formulation consists of a drug reservoir-mucoadhesive layer cross-linked via CaCl2, with protective mucoadhesive layers based on thiolated alginate (TA) and polydopamine (PDA). OBM served as a new mucoadhesive polysaccharide in second layers, where the dopamine-modified-hyaluronic acid (DHA) improved the mucoadhesive strength and swelling rate properties. The drug-loaded formulations of trilayer film with PDA coating, and bilayer film with DHA/OBM (1:1) in the second layer, showed the desired mucoadhesion properties (about 69 and 75.3% respectively). The obtained results revealed that the bilayer film containing DHA had a superior swelling degree in the range of 15-19 (g/g). While the PDA coating sample showed the highest resistance to water uptake and erosion. The bilayer film (DHA/OBM with 1:1 ratio) provided a maximum drug release of 86% after 4 h. The selected formulations indicated good mechanical properties with no cytotoxicity.

Abstract
As life expectancy continues to increase, the inevitable weakening and rupture of bone tissue have grown as concerns in the medical community, thus leading to the need for adhesive materials suitable for bone repair applications. However, current commercially available adhesives face certain drawbacks that prevent proper tissue repair, such as low biocompatibility, poor adhesion to wet surfaces, and the need for high polymerization temperatures. This work aims to develop an injectable and photo-responsive chitosan methacrylate/graphene oxide (ChiMA/GO) adhesive nanocomposite hydrogel of high biocompatibility that is easy to apply by simple extrusion and that offers the possibility for in situ polymer and physiological temperatures. The nanocomposite was thoroughly characterized spectroscopically, microscopically, rheologically, thermally, and through mechanical, textural, and biological assays to fully evaluate its correct synthesis and functionalization and its performance under physiological conditions that mimic those observed in vivo. In addition, a finite element analysis (FEA) simulation was used to evaluate its performance in femur fractures. Results suggest the material’s potential as a bioadhesive, as it can polymerize at room temperature, shows superior stability in physiological media, and is capable of withstanding loads from body weight and movement. Moreover, the material showed remarkable biocompatibility as evidenced by low hemolytic and intermediate platelet aggregation tendencies, and high cytocompatibility when in contact with osteoblasts. The comprehensive studies presented here strongly suggest that the developed hydrogels are promising alternatives to conventional bone adhesives that might be further tested in vivo in the near future.

Abstract
Stem cell-based therapies offer numerous potentials to repair damaged or defective organs. The therapeutic outcomes of human studies, however, fall far short from what is expected. Enhancing stem cells local density and longevity would possibly maximize their healing potential. One promising strategy is to administer stem cells via injectable hydrogels. However, stem cells differentiation process is a delicate matter which is easily affected by various factors such as their interaction with their surrounding materials. Among various biomaterial options for hydrogels' production, hyaluronic acid (HA) has shown great promise. HA is a naturally occurring biological macromolecule, a polysaccharide of large molecular weight which is involved in cell proliferation, cell migration, angiogenesis, fetal development, and tissue function. In the current study we will discuss the applications, prospects, and challenges of HA-based hydrogels in stem cell delivery and fate control.

Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA) is a naturally occurring non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG), cell-surface-associated biopolymer and is the key component of tissue extracellular matrix (ECM). Along with remarkable physicochemical properties, HA also has multifaceted biological effects that include but not limited to ECM organization, immunomodulation, and various cellular processes. Environmental cues such as tissue injury, infection or cancer change downstream signaling functionalities of HA. Unlike native HA, the fragments of HA have diversified effects on inflammation, cancer, fibrosis, angiogenesis and autoimmune response. In this review, we aim to discuss HA as a therapeutic delivery system development process, source, biophysical-chemical properties, and associated biological pathways (especially via cell surface receptors) of native and fragmented HA. We also tried to address an overview of the potential role of HA (native HA vs fragments) in the modulation of inflammation, immune response and various cancer targeting delivery applications. This review will also highlight the HA based therapeutic systems, medical devices and future perspectives of various biomedical applications were discussed in detail.

Abstract
Dental caries have plagued humans for many years. At present, photocrosslinking resin is commonly used in clinics to repair narrow tooth defects, but the ultraviolet light used in this process has unavoidable cytotoxicity. In situ hydrogels with a similar structure to that of the natural extracellular matrix have gradually attracted attention in the field of hard tissue repair engineering. The injectable molding properties of hydrogel also give it the potential to fill irregularly shaped or fine tissue defects. Through a rapid and facile Michael addition reaction, we prepared maleic chitosan (CS-maleic anhydride [MA]) and thiolated alginate (sodium alginate [SA]-SH) to form a CS-MA/SA-SH hydrogel. To endue its mineralize ability, β-glycerophosphate calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate as the precursor of hydroxyapatite (HAp) were premixed in the hydrogel at certain ratios. This kind of hydrogel can quickly form into different shapes within 10 min. It is worth noting that external Ca2+ can react with the residual carboxyl groups of SA and provide the hydrogel with a self-healing ability. At the same time, we creatively propose a method that uses alkaline phosphatase to promote the mineralization of HAp in hydrogels, to achieve the purpose of regenerating hard tissue in situ. By examining the properties of hydrogels at different concentrations of calcium and phosphorus salts, we find that the CS-MA/SA-SH hydrogel with 50% (wt.%) inorganic matter presented the best self-healing properties, excellent mineralization of highly crystallized Hap, and has ideal cell compatibility. The potential application of the CS-MA/SA-SH hydrogel in repairing exposed dentin tubules in decayed teeth was explored through preliminary in vitro dental restoration experiments. Obviously, the penetration depth through dentin tubules was better than that of commercial dental sensitizers. In addition, the HAp morphology was affected by the local environment. We believe that this hydrogel can utilize tissues for dental regeneration and mineralization, and the healing ability provides the hydrogel flexibility for further application in hard tissue regeneration.

Abstract
The objective of this investigation is to investigate the feasibility of sublingual insulin administration. Insulin solutions formulated with permeation enhancers (HPβCD/poloxamer 188) and their in-vitro and in-vivo performances were evaluated. Thereafter, insulin fast-dissolving film was further developed to have similar properties, upon dissolving the film, of the optimized insulin solution. In-vitro performance was evaluated via effect of HPβCD and/or poloxamer 188 concentration across cellulose acetate membrane and porcine esophagus. In-vivo performance was evaluated via pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic profiles of insulin solution administered. Cumulative amounts of insulin permeated at 60 min formulated with HPβCD (5%), poloxamer 188 (0.5%), and their combination were 1.31, 3.23, and 4.99 IU/cm2, respectively, indicating an additive effect of combination of HPβCD and poloxamer 188. Insulin-induced hypoglycemic effect was observed for insulin solutions with combination of HPβCD and poloxamer 188 after sublingual administration to Sprague-Dawley rats. Microscopic evaluation of porcine oesophageal tissue indicates that HPβCD and poloxamer 188 are safe. Furthermore, the cumulative amount permeated across cellulose acetate membrane at 30 min was 1.13 and 1.00 IU/cm2 for insulin solution and fast-dissolving film, respectively, demonstrating to be similar. In conclusion, the use of HPβCD/poloxamer 188 is feasible for the development of sublingual insulin solutions/films.

Tissue Eng Part A 2020; 26:1077-1090. [PMID: 32264787 PMCID: PMC7580577 DOI: 10.1089/ten.tea.2020.0002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2020] [Accepted: 04/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
This study investigated the effects of terminal sterilization of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) biomaterials using clinically translatable techniques, specifically ethylene oxide (EtO) and gamma (γ) irradiation. While a few studies have reported the possibility of sterilizing PVA with γ-radiation, the use of EtO sterilization of PVA requires additional study. PVA solutions were chemically crosslinked with trisodium trimetaphosphate and sodium hydroxide. The three experimental groups included untreated control, EtO, and γ-irradiation, which were tested for the degree of swelling and water content, and mechanical properties such as radial compliance, longitudinal tensile, minimum bend radius, burst pressure, and suture retention strength. In addition, samples were characterized with scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and water contact angle measurements. Cell attachment was assessed using the endothelial cell line EA.hy926, and the sterilized PVA cytotoxicity was studied with a live/dead stain. Platelet and fibrin accumulation was measured using an ex vivo shunt baboon model. Finally, the immune responses of PVA implants were analyzed after a 21-day subcutaneous implantation in rats and a 30-day implantation in baboon. EtO sterilization reduced the PVA graft wall thickness, its degree of swelling, and water content compared with both γ-irradiated and untreated PVA. Moreover, EtO sterilization significantly reduced the radial compliance and increased Young's modulus. EtO did not change PVA hydrophilicity, while γ-irradiation increased the water contact angle of the PVA. Consequently, endothelial cell attachment on the EtO-sterilized PVA showed similar results to the untreated PVA, while cell attachment significantly improved on the γ-irradiated PVA. When exposing the PVA grafts to circulating whole blood, fibrin accumulation of EtO-sterilized PVA was found to be significantly lower than γ-irradiated PVA. The immune responses of γ-irradiated PVA, EtO-treated PVA, and untreated PVA were compared. Implanted EtO-treated PVA showed the least MAC387 reaction. The terminal sterilization methods in this study changed PVA hydrogel properties; nevertheless, based on the characterizations performed, both sterilization methods were suitable for sterilizing PVA. We concluded that EtO can be used as an alternative method to sterilize PVA hydrogel material. Impact statement Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels have been used for a variety of tissue replacements, including neural, cardiac, meniscal, cartilage, muscle, pancreatic, and ocular applications. In addition, PVA can be made into a tubular shape and used as a small-diameter vascular graft. Ethylene oxide (EtO) is one of the Food and Drug Administration-approved methods for sterilization, but its effect on PVA has not been studied extensively. The outcome of this study provides the effects of EtO and γ-irradiation of PVA grafts on both the material properties and the in vivo responses, particularly for vascular applications. Knowledge of these effects may ultimately improve the success rate of PVA vascular grafts.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been widely documented as tumor radiosensitizers via enhanced energy deposition of ionizing radiation. However, the sensitization efficiency of AuNPs is still far from satisfactory owing to the irradiation on nontarget tissues and the tumor radio-resistance. To address these issues, we report herein the rational design and development of hyaluronic acid-modified Au-Ag alloy nanoparticles (Au-Ag@HA NPs) with effective tumor radiosensitization by receptor mediated tumor targeting as well as microenvironment-activated hydroxyl radicals (•OH) generation. In our work, Au-Ag@HA NPs were synthesized by the coreduction of HAuCl4 and AgNO3 in the presence of trisodium citrate, followed by surface modification of HA to the Au-Ag alloy NPs. HA modification affords the alloy NPs with specific targeting to 4T1 breast cancer cells overexpressing CD44 receptor, while the introduction of Ag atom imparts the alloy NPs with superior multienzyme-like activities to the monometallic AuNPs for efficient tumor catalytic therapy. More importantly, the ionizing radiation and peroxidase-like activity of Au-Ag@HA NPs boost the production of •OH and the release of toxic Ag+ in the tumor sites, thereby leading to effective tumor therapeutic outcome. This work provides a promising treatment paradigm for radiation/nanozyme/Ag+ combined therapy against cancer and will advance the design and development of multifunctional nanoplatforms for synergetically enhanced tumor therapy.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to synthesize S-protected thiolated hyaluronic acid (HA) and to evaluate its potential for 3D cell culture scaffold. S-protected thiolated HA was synthesized by the covalent attachment of N-acetyl-S-((3-((2,5-dioxopyrrolidin-1-yl)oxy)-3-oxopropyl)thio)cysteine hydrazide ligand to the HA. Hydrogels were characterized for texture, swelling behavior and rheological properties. Furthermore, the potential of S-protected thiolated HA hydrogels as a scaffold for tissue engineering was evaluated by cell proliferation studies with Caco-2 and NIH 3T3 cells. It showed enhanced cohesion upon addition of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC). Dynamic viscosity of S-protected thiolated HA hydrogel was increased up to 19.5-fold by addition of NAC and 10.1-fold after mixing with mucus. Furthermore, Caco-2 and NIH 3T3 cells encapsulated into hydrogels proliferated in-vitro. As this novel S-protected thiolated HA is stable towards oxidation and forms highly cohesive gels when getting into contact with endogenous thiols due to disulfide-crosslinking, it is a promising tool for 3D cell culture scaffold.

Abstract
The unique requirements of poorly water-soluble drug delivery have driven a great deal of research into new formulations and routes of administration. This study investigates the use of nanosuspensions for solubility enhancement and drug delivery. Simple methods were used to prepare nasal formulations of loratadine based on nanosuspension pre-dispersion with sodium hyaluronate as a mucoadhesive agent. The nanosuspension was prepared by antisolvent precipitation method followed by ultrasonication and characterized for particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, morphology, and structure. Moreover, the nasal formulations were characterized for drug loading, pH, particle size, viscosity, bioadhesive viscosity parameter, and were evaluated for in vitro dissolution and diffusion, in addition to in vivo studies in a rat model. Loratadine nanosuspension displayed a particle size of 311 nm, a polydispersity index of 0.16, and zeta potential of -22.05 mV. The nanosuspension preserved the crystalline status of the raw drug. The addition of sodium hyaluronate exhibited an increase in the mean particle size and zeta potential of the nanoparticles. The nasal formulations showed enhanced bioadhesive properties compared to the unprocessed loratadine in the reference samples. The nanosuspension based-formulation that contained 5 mg mL-1 sodium hyaluronate and 2.5 mg mL-1 loratadine (NF4) showed a significant enhancement of flux and permeability coefficient through a synthetic membrane. NF4 exhibited 24.73 µg cm-2 h-1 and 0.082 cm h-1, while the reference sample showed 1.49 µg cm-2 h-1 and 0.017 cm h-1, for the flux and the permeability coefficient, respectively. Nasal administration of NF4 showed a bioavailability of 5.54-fold relative to the oral administration. The results obtained in this study indicate the potential of the nasal route and the nanosuspension for loratadine delivery. The relative bioavailability of NF4 was 1.84-fold compared to unprocessed loratadine in the reference sample. Therefore, the nanosized loratadine could be suggested as a practical and simple nanosystem for the intranasal delivery with improved bioavailability.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2019; 7:117. [PMID: 31192200 PMCID: PMC6541113 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2019.00117] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2019] [Accepted: 05/07/2019] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Plasma-based surface modification is recognized as an effective way to activate biomaterial surfaces, and modulate their interactions with cells, extracellular matrix proteins, and other materials. However, treatment of a luminal surface of a tubular scaffold remains non-trivial to perform in small diameter tubes. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel, which has been widely used for medical applications, lacks functional groups to mediate cell attachment. This poses an issue for vascular applications, as endothelialization in a vascular graft lumen is crucial to maintain long term graft patency. In this study, a Radio Frequency Glow Discharges (RFGD) treatment in the presence of NH3 was used to modify the luminal surface of 3-mm diameter dehydrated PVA vascular grafts. The grafted nitrogen containing functional groups demonstrated stability, and in vitro endothelialization was successfully maintained for at least 30 days. The plasma-modified PVA displayed a higher percentage of carbonyl groups over the untreated PVA control. Plasma treatment on PVA patterned with microtopographies was also studied, with only the concave microlenses topography demonstrating a significant increase in platelet adhesion. Thus, the study has shown the possibility of modifying a small diameter hydrogel tubular scaffold with the RFGD plasma treatment technique and demonstrated stability in ambient storage conditions for up to 30 days.

Abstract
Discontinuation of contact lens wear as a result of ocular dryness and discomfort is extremely common; as many as 26% of contact lens wearers discontinue use within the first year. While patients are generally satisfied with conventional hydrogel lenses, improving on-eye comfort continues to remain a goal. Surface modification with a biomimetic, ocular friendly hydrophilic layer of a wetting agent is hypothesized to improve the interfacial interactions of the contact lens with the ocular surface. In this work, the synthesis and characterization of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) surfaces grafted with a hydrophilic layer of hyaluronic acid are described. The immobilization reaction involved the covalent attachment of thiolated hyaluronic acid (20 kDa) on acrylated poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) via nucleophile-initiated Michael addition thiol-ene "click" chemistry. The surface chemistry of the modified surfaces was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total reflectance and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The appearance of N (1s) and S (2p) peaks on the low resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectra confirmed successful immobilization of hyaluronic acid. Grafting hyaluronic acid to the poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) surfaces decreased the contact angle, the dehydration rate, and the amount of nonspecific sorption of lysozyme and albumin in comparison to pristine hydrogel materials, suggesting the development of more wettable surfaces with improved water-retentive and antifouling properties, while maintaining optical transparency (>92%). In vitro testing also showed excellent viability of human corneal epithelial cells with the hyaluronic acid-grafted poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) surfaces. Hence, surface modification with hyaluronic acid via thiol-ene "click" chemistry could be useful in improving contact lens surface properties, potentially alleviating symptoms of contact lens related dryness and discomfort during wear.

Physically Cross-Linked Gels of PVA with Natural Polymers as Matrices for Manuka Honey Release in Wound-Care Applications. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2019; 12:E559. [PMID: 30781788 PMCID: PMC6416547 DOI: 10.3390/ma12040559] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2019] [Revised: 02/08/2019] [Accepted: 02/10/2019] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Manuka honey is a well-known natural material from New Zealand, considered to have properties beneficial for burn treatment. Gels created from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) blended with natural polymers are potential burn-care dressings, combining biocompatibility with high fluid uptake. Controlled release of manuka honey from such materials is a possible strategy for improving burn healing. This work aimed to produce polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), PVA⁻sodium carboxymethylcellulose (PVA-CMC), PVA⁻gelatin (PVA-G), and PVA⁻starch (PVA-S) cryogels infused with honey and to characterize these materials physicochemically, morphologically, and thermally, followed by in vitro analysis of swelling capacity, degradation/weight loss, honey delivery kinetics, and possible activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The addition of honey to PVA led to many PVA crystals with defects, while PVA⁻starch⁻honey and PVA⁻sodium carboxymethylcellulose⁻honey (PVA-CMC-H) formed amorphous gels. PVA-CMC presented the highest swelling degree of all. PVA-CMC-H and PVA⁻gelatin⁻honey presented the highest swelling capacities of the honey-laden samples. Weight loss/degradation was significantly higher for samples containing honey. Layers submitted to more freeze⁻thawing cycles were less porous in SEM images. With the honey concentration used, samples did not inhibit S. aureus, but pure manuka honey was bactericidal and dilutions superior to 25% honey were bacteriostatic, indicating the need for higher concentrations to be more effective.

Abstract
Within the last decade, intensive research work has been conducted on thiolated hyaluronic acids (HA-SH). By attaching sulfhydryl ligands onto naturally occurring hyaluronic acid various types of HA-SH can be designed. Due the ability of disulfide bond formation within the polymer itself as well as with biological materials, certain properties such as mucoadhesive, gelling, enzyme inhibitory, permeation enhancing and release controlling properties are improved. Besides the application in the field of drug delivery, HA-SH has been investigated as auxiliary material for wound healing. Within this review, the characteristics of novel drug delivery systems based on HA-SH are summarized and the versatility of this polymer for further applications is described by introducing numerous relevant studies in this field.

Abstract
Oral administration is a desirable alternative of parenteral administration due to the convenience and increased compliance to patients, especially for chronic diseases that require frequent administration. The oral drug delivery is a dynamic research field despite the numerous challenges limiting their effective delivery, such as enzyme degradation, hydrolysis and low permeability of intestinal epithelium in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. pH-Responsive carriers offer excellent potential as oral therapeutic systems due to enhancing the stability of drug delivery in stomach and achieving controlled release in intestines. This review provides a wide perspective on current status of pH-responsive oral drug delivery systems prepared mainly with organic polymers or inorganic materials, including the strategies used to overcome GI barriers, the challenges in their development and future prospects, with focus on technology trends to improve the bioavailability of orally delivered drugs, the mechanisms of drug release from pH-responsive oral formulations, and their application for drug delivery, such as protein and peptide therapeutics, vaccination, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and bacterial infections.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The oral mucosa has recently become increasingly important as an alternative administration route for tailor-made, controlled drug delivery. Oromucosal multilayer films, assigned to the monograph oromucosal preparations in the Ph.Eur. may be a promising dosage form to overcome the requirements related to this drug delivery site. Areas covered: We provide an overview of multilayer films as drug delivery tools, and discuss manufacturing processes and characterization methods. We focus on the suitability of characterization methods for particular requirements of multilayer films. A classification was performed covering indication areas and APIs incorporated in multilayer film systems for oromucosal use in order to provide a summary of data published in this field. Expert opinion: The shift in drug development to high molecular weight drugs will influence the field of pharmaceutical development and delivery technologies. For a high number of indication areas, such as hormonal disorders, cardiovascular diseases or local treatment of infections, the flexible layer design of oromucosal multilayer films provides a promising option for tailor-made, controlled delivery of APIs to or through defined surfaces in the oral cavity. However, there is a lack of discriminating or standardized testing methods to assess the quality of multilayer films in a reliable way.

Abstract
This article reports on the micro- and nanonization of meloxicam (MEL) with the aim of developing pre-dispersions as intermediates for the design of intranasal formulations. As a new approach, combined wet milling technology was developed in order to reduce the particle size of the MEL. Different milling times resulted in micro- or nanosized MEL in the pre-dispersions with polyvinyl alcohol as stabilizer agent, which were directly used for preparing intranasal liquid formulations with the addition of sodium hyaluronate as mucoadhesive agent. Reduction of the MEL particle size into the nano range led to increased saturation solubility and dissolution velocities, and increased adhesiveness to surfaces as compared with microsized MEL particles. A linear correlation was demonstrated between the specific surface area of MEL and the AUC. The in vitro and in vivo studies indicated that the longer residence time and the uniform distribution of nano MEL spray throughout an artificial membrane and the nasal mucosa resulted in better diffusion and a higher AUC. Nanosized MEL may be suggested for the development of an innovative dosage form with a different dose of the drug, as a possible administration route for pain management.

Carmellose Mucoadhesive Oral Films Containing Vermiculite/Chlorhexidine Nanocomposites as Innovative Biomaterials for Treatment of Oral Infections. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2015; 2015:580146. [PMID: 26064926 PMCID: PMC4430645 DOI: 10.1155/2015/580146] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2014] [Revised: 04/03/2015] [Accepted: 04/03/2015] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
Infectious stomatitis represents the most common oral cavity ailments. Current therapy is insufficiently effective because of the short residence time of topical liquid or semisolid medical formulations. An innovative application form based on bioadhesive polymers featuring prolonged residence time on the oral mucosa may be a solution to this challenge. This formulation consists of a mucoadhesive oral film with incorporated nanocomposite biomaterial that is able to release the drug directly at the target area. This study describes the unique approach of preparing mucoadhesive oral films from carmellose with incorporating a nanotechnologically modified clay mineral intercalated with chlorhexidine. The multivariate data analysis was employed to evaluate the influence of the formulation and process variables on the properties of the medical preparation. This evaluation was complemented by testing the antimicrobial and antimycotic activity of prepared films with the aim of finding the most suitable composition for clinical application. Generally, the best results were obtained with sample containing 20 mg of chlorhexidine diacetate carried by vermiculite, with carmellose in the form of nonwoven textile in its structure. In addition to its promising physicomechanical, chemical, and mucoadhesive properties, the formulation inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus and Candida; the effect was prolonged for tens of hours.

Abstract
PURPOSE Present study aimed at exploring advantages/disadvantages of amino acid modified trimethylated chitosan in conquering multiple gene delivery obstacles and thus providing comprehensive understandings for improved transfection efficiency. METHODS Arginine, cysteine, and histidine modified trimethyl chitosan were synthesized and employed to self-assemble with plasmid DNA (pDNA) to form nanocomplexes, namely TRNC, TCNC, and THNC, respectively. They were assessed by structural stability, cellular uptake, endosomal escape, release behavior, nuclear localization, and in vitro and in vivo transfection efficiencies. Besides, sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) was added into TRNC to compromise certain disadvantageous attributes for pDNA delivery. RESULTS Optimal endosomal escape ability failed to bring in satisfactory transfection efficiency of THNC due to drawbacks in structural stability, cellular uptake, pDNA liberation, and nuclear distribution. TCNC evoked the most potent gene expression owing to multiple advantages including sufficient stability, preferable uptake, efficient pDNA release, and high nucleic accumulation. Undesirable stability and insufficient pDNA release adversely affected TRNC-mediated gene transfer. However, incorporation of TPP could improve such disadvantages and consequently resulted in enhanced transfection efficiencies. CONCLUSIONS Coordination of multiple contributing effects to conquer all delivery obstacles was necessitated for improved transfection efficiency, which would provide insights into rational design of gene delivery vehicles.
