Abstract
The repair of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infected wounds remains a serious challenge. Development of multifunctional bioactive hydrogels has shown promising potential in treating MRSA wound. Ferulic acid has special bioactivities including antioxidant antiinflammation antibacterial capacities but limited in lack of engineering strategy for efficient treatment of MRSA infected wound. Herein, we developed a multifunctional bioactive poly(ferulic acid) copolymer (FPFA) for treating MRSA infected wound. FPFA could be self-assembled into hydrogel under body temperature and demonstrated the injectable, sprayable, self-healing, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and angiogenic activity. FPFA hydrogel also showed the good cytocompatibility, efficiently enhanced the endothelial cell migration, scavenged intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), inhibited the expression of inflammatory factors and enhanced the in vitro angiogenesis. The MRSA-infected wound model showed that FPFA could significantly inhibit the MRSA infection and excess inflammation, reinforce the angiogenesis, accelerate wound healing and skin tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Hydrogels provide a plethora of advantages to biomedical treatments due to their highly hydrophilic nature and tissue-like mechanical properties. Additionally, the numerous and widespread endogenous roles of nitric oxide have led to an eruption in research developing biomimetic solutions to the many challenges the biomedical world faces. Though many design factors and fabrication details must be considered, utilizing hydrogels as nitric oxide delivery vehicles provides promising materials in several applications. Such applications include cardiovascular therapy, vasodilation and angiogenesis, antimicrobial treatments, wound dressings, and stem cell research. Herein, a recent update on the progress of NO-releasing hydrogels is presented in depth. In addition, considerations for the design and fabrication of hydrogels and specific biomedical applications of nitric oxide-releasing hydrogels are discussed.

Abstract
Cardiac medical devices (CMDs) are required when the patient's cardiac capacity or activity is compromised. To guarantee its correct functionality, the building materials in the development of CMDs must focus on several fundamental properties such as strength, stiffness, rigidity, corrosion resistance, etc. The challenge is more significant because CMDs are generally built with at least one metallic and one polymeric part. However, not only the properties of the materials need to be taken into consideration. The biocompatibility of the materials represents one of the major causes of the success of CMDs in the short and long term. Otherwise, the material will lead to several problems of hemocompatibility (e.g., protein adsorption, platelet aggregation, thrombus formation, bacterial infection, and finally, the rejection of the CMDs). To enhance the hemocompatibility of selected materials, surface modification represents a suitable solution. The surface modification involves the attachment of chemical compounds or bioactive compounds to the surface of the material. These coatings interact with the blood and avoid hemocompatibility and infection issues. This work reviews two main topics: 1) the materials employed in developing CMDs and their key characteristics, and 2) the surface modifications reported in the literature, clinical trials, and those that have reached the market. With the aim of providing to the research community, considerations regarding the choice of materials for CMDs, together with the advantages and disadvantages of the surface modifications and the limitations of the studies performed.

Abstract
S-Nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) is a nontoxic nitric oxide (NO)-donating compound that occurs naturally in the human body. The use of GSNO to deliver exogenous NO for therapeutic and protective applications is limited by the high lability of dissolved GSNO in aqueous formulations. In this paper, we report a host-guest chemistry-based strategy to modulate the GSNO reactivity and NO release kinetics for the design of anti-infective catheters and hydrogels. Cyclodextrins (CDs) are host molecules that are typically used to encapsulate hydrophobic guest molecules into their hydrophobic cavities. However, we found that CDs form inclusion complexes with GSNO, an extremely hydrophilic molecule with a solubility of over 1 M at physiological pH. More interestingly, the host-guest complexation reduces the decomposition reactivity of GSNO in the order of αCD > γCD > hydroxypropyl βCD. The lifetime of 0.1 M GSNO is increased to up to 15 days in the presence of CDs at 37 °C, which is more than twice the lifetime of free GSNO. Quantum chemistry calculations indicate that GSNO in αCD undergoes a conformational change that significantly reduces the S-NO bond distance and increases its stability. The calculated S-NO bond dissociation enthalpies of free and complexed GSNO well agree with the experimentally observed GSNO decomposition kinetics. The NO release from GSNO-CD solutions, compared to GSNO solutions, has suppressed initial bursts and extended durations, enhancing the safety and efficacy of NO-based therapies and device protections. In an example application as an anti-infective lock solution for intravascular catheters, the GSNO-αCD solution exhibits potent antibacterial activities for both planktonic and biofilm bacteria, both intraluminal and extraluminal environments, both prevention and treatment of infections, and against multiple bacterial strains, including a multidrug-resistant strain. In addition to solutions, the inclusion complexation also enables the preparation of GSNO hydrogels with enhanced stability and improved antibacterial efficacy. Since methods to suppress and control the GSNO decomposition rate are rare, this supramolecular strategy provides new opportunities for the formulation and application of this natural NO donor.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a complicated metabolic disease that has become one of the fastest-growing health crises in modern society. Diabetic patients may suffer from various complications, and diabetic foot is one of them. It can lead to increased rates of lower-extremity amputation and mortality, even seriously threatening the life and health of patients. Because its healing process is affected by various factors, its management and treatment are very challenging. To address these problems, smart biomaterials have been developed to expedite diabetic wound closure and improve treatment outcomes. This review begins with a discussion of the basic mechanisms of wound recovery and the limitations of current dressings used for diabetic wound healing. Then, the categories and characteristics of the smart biomaterial scaffolds, which can be utilized as a delivery system for drugs with anti-inflammatory activity, bioactive agency, and antibacterial nanoparticles for diabetic wound treatment were described. In addition, it can act as a responsive system to the stimulus of the pH, reactive oxygen species, and glucose concentration from the wound microenvironment. These results show that smart biomaterials have an enormous perspective for the treatment of diabetic wounds in all stages of healing. Finally, the advantages of the construction of smart biomaterials are summarized, and possible new strategies for the clinical management of diabetic wounds are proposed.

Abstract
Chronic wounds have become one of the most important issues for healthcare systems and are a leading cause of death worldwide. Wound dressings are necessary to facilitate wound treatment. Engineering wound dressings may substantially reduce healing time, reduce the risk of recurrent infections, and reduce the disability and costs associated. In the path of engineering of an ideal wound dressing, hydrogels have played a leading role. Hydrogels are 3D hydrophilic polymeric structures that can provide a protective barrier, mimic the native extracellular matrix (ECM), and provide a humid environment. Due to their advantages, hydrogels (with different architectural, physical, mechanical, and biological properties) have been extensively explored as wound dressing platforms. Here we describe recent studies on hydrogels for wound healing applications with a strong focus on the interplay between the fabrication method used and the architectural, mechanical, and biological performance achieved. Moreover, we review different categories of additives which can enhance wound regeneration using 3D hydrogel dressings. Hydrogel engineering for wound healing applications promises the generation of smart solutions to solve this pressing problem, enabling key functionalities such as bacterial growth inhibition, enhanced re-epithelialization, vascularization, improved recovery of the tissue functionality, and overall, accelerated and effective wound healing.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Alginate is widely used in biomedical applications due to its high biocompatibility as well as structural and mechanical similarities to human tissue. Further, simple ionic crosslinking of alginate allows for the formation of alginate beads capable of drug delivery. S-nitrosoglutathione is a water-soluble molecule that releases nitric oxide in physiological conditions, where it acts as a potent antimicrobial gas, among other functions. As macrophages and endothelial cells endogenously produce nitric oxide, incorporating nitric oxide donors into polymers and hydrogels introduces a biomimetic approach to mitigate clinical infections, including those caused by antibiotic-resistant microorganisms. The incorporation of S-nitrosoglutathione into macro-scale spherical alginate beads is reported for the first time and shows exciting potential for biomedical applications. EXPERIMENTS Herein, nitric oxide-releasing crosslinked alginate beads were fabricated and characterized for surface and cross-sectional morphology, water uptake, size distribution, and storage stability. In addition, the NO release was quantified by chemiluminescence and its biological effects against Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus were investigated. The biocompatibility of the alginate beads was tested against 3T3 mouse fibroblast cells. FINDINGS Overall, nitric oxide-releasing alginate beads demonstrate biologically relevant activities without eliciting a cytotoxic response, revealing their potential use as an antimicrobial material with multiple mechanisms of bacterial killing.

Abstract
Despite nearly 30 years of development and recent highlights of nitric oxide (NO) donors and NO delivery systems in anticancer therapy, the limited understanding of exogenous NO's effects on the immune system has prevented their advancement into clinical use. In particular, the effects of exogenously delivered NO differing from that of endogenous NO has obscured how the potential and functions of NO in anticancer therapy may be estimated and exploited despite the accumulating evidence of NO's cancer therapy-potentiating effects on the immune system. After introducing their fundamentals and characteristics, this review discusses the current mechanistic understanding of NO donors and delivery systems in modulating the immunogenicity of cancer cells as well as the differentiation and functions of innate and adaptive immune cells. Lastly, the potential for the complex modulatory effects of NO with the immune system to be leveraged for therapeutic applications is discussed in the context of recent advancements in the implementation of NO delivery systems for anticancer immunotherapy applications. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Despite a 30-year history and recent highlights of nitric oxide (NO) donors and delivery systems as anticancer therapeutics, their clinical translation has been limited. Increasing evidence of the complex interactions between NO and the immune system has revealed both the potential and hurdles in their clinical translation. This review summarizes the effects of exogenous NO on cancer and immune cells in vitro and elaborates these effects in the context of recent reports exploiting NO delivery systems in vivo in cancer therapy applications.

Abstract
Despite the noticeable evolution in wound treatment over the centuries, a functional material that promotes correct and swift wound healing is important, considering the relative weight of chronic wounds in healthcare. Difficult to heal in a fashionable time, chronic wounds are more prone to infections and complications thereof. Nitric oxide (NO) has been explored for wound healing applications due to its appealing properties, which in the wound healing context include vasodilation, angiogenesis promotion, cell proliferation, and antimicrobial activity. NO delivery is facilitated by molecules that release NO when prompted, whose stability is ensured using carriers. Hydrogels, popular materials for wound dressings, have been studied as scaffolds for NO storage and delivery, showing promising results such as enhanced wound healing, controlled and sustained NO release, and bactericidal properties. Systems reported so far regarding NO delivery by hydrogels are reviewed.

Abstract
Impaired diabetic wounds are serious pathophysiological complications associated with persistent microbial infections including failure in the closure of wounds, and the cause of a high frequency of lower limb amputations. The healing of diabetic wounds is attenuated due to the lack of secretion of growth factors, prolonged inflammation, and/or inhibition of angiogenic activity. Diabetic wound healing can be enhanced by supplying nitric oxide (NO) endogenously or exogenously. NO produced inside the cells by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) naturally aids wound healing through its beneficial vasculogenic effects. However, during hyperglycemia, the activity of eNOS is affected, and thus there becomes an utmost need for the topical supply of NO from exogenous sources. Thus, NO-donors that can release NO are loaded into wound healing patches or wound coverage matrices to treat diabetic wounds. The burst release of NO from its donors is prevented by encapsulating them in polymeric hydrogels or nanoparticles for supplying NO for an extended duration of time to the diabetic wounds. In this article, we review the etiology of diabetic wounds, wound healing strategies, and the role of NO in the wound healing process. We further discuss the challenges faced in translating NO-donors as a clinically viable nanomedicine strategy for the treatment of diabetic wounds with a focus on the use of biomaterials for the encapsulation and in vivo controlled delivery of NO-donors.

Light-regulated nitric oxide release from hydrogel-forming microneedles integrated with graphene oxide for biofilm-infected-wound healing. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2022; 134:112555. [PMID: 35523645 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2021.112555] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2021] [Revised: 11/03/2021] [Accepted: 11/13/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is an antimicrobial agent that possesses tissue-regenerating ability. However, it also has a short half-life and storage difficulties as disadvantages to its application. To overcome these limitations, a new type of hydrogel-forming microneedle (HFMN) is proposed that can be fabricated by integrating polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels (a highly biocompatible drug carrier) with S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO, a NO releasing agent), and graphene oxide (GO) at freezing temperatures (GO-GNSO-HFMNs). Results show that GSNO-GO-HFMNs release NO gradually with increasing temperature and, more importantly, can be warmed up by mild infrared irradiation to accelerate subcutaneous release of NO from the heat-sensitive GSNO. Biofilm-infected wounds often present obstacles to drug delivery, whereas the microneedle (MN) structure disrupts the biofilm and directly releases NO into the wound. This inhibits bacterial growth and increases tissue regeneration while shortening the healing time of biofilm-infected wounds. Therefore, this type of patch can be regarded as a novel, heat-sensitive, light-regulated, NO-releasing MN patch.

[PMID: 35592138 PMCID: PMC9113238 DOI: 10.1093/rb/rbac006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2021] [Revised: 01/24/2022] [Accepted: 01/24/2022] [Indexed: 10/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in wound healing, due to its ability to contract wound surfaces, dilate blood vessels, participate in inflammation as well as promote collagen synthesis, angiogenesis and fibroblast proliferation. Herein, keratin was first nitrosated to afford S-nitrosated keratin (KSNO). As a NO donor, KSNO was then co-electrospun with polyurethane (PU). These as-spun PU/KSNO biocomposite mats could release NO sustainably for 72 h, matching the renewal time of the wound dressing. Moreover, these mats exhibited excellent cytocompatibility with good cell adhesion and cell migration. Further, the biocomposite mats exhibited antibacterial properties without inducing severe inflammatory responses. The wound repair in vivo demonstrated that these mats accelerated wound healing by promoting tissue formation, collagen deposition, cell migration, re-epithelialization and angiogenesis. Overall, PU/KSNO mats may be promising candidates for wound dressing.

Abstract
As a severe clinical challenge, escharotomy and infection are always the core concerns of deep burn injuries. However, a usual dressing without multifunctionality leads to intractable treatment on deep burn wounds. Herein, we fabricated a sequential therapeutic hydrogel to solve this problem. Cross-linked by modified polyvinyl alcohol (PVA-SH/ε-PL) and benzaldehyde-terminated F127 triblock copolymers (PF127-CHO), the hydrogel demonstrated excellent mechanical properties, injectability, tissue adhesiveness, antibacterial activity, biocompatibility, and satisfactory wound cleaning through both in vitro and in vivo assays. Additionally, based on the conception of “sequential therapy,” we proposed for the first time to load bromelain and EGF into the same hydrogel in stages for wound cleaning and healing. This work provides a strategy to fabricate a promising wound dressing for the treatment of deep burn wounds with injectability and improved patients’ compliance as it simplified the process of treatment due to its “three in one” characteristic (antibacterial activity, wound cleaning, and healing effects); therefore, it has great potential in wound dressing development and clinical application.

Abstract
Pesticides are used worldwide to increase crop yields in agriculture. However, their toxicity and accumulation capacity can make them toxic to the environment, animals and humans. In the case of workers chronically exposed to these substances, they must be sampled continuously, so urine is an excellent option. In this sense, this study proposes to use poly(vinyl alcohol)-malic acid hydrogels, and chitosan-coated calcium alginate as new sorbent phases to be used in pesticide determination processes in urine. To better understand the behavior of these materials in the capture and desorption process, molecular dynamics simulations (MDS) were used, and desorption experiments were performed, using mechanical agitation, ultrasound, and pH variation in the desorption process, in order to optimize the parameters to obtain better recoveries. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the maximum recoveries were of the order of 11% (CFN), 3% (KCF), 53% (DMT), 18% (MTD) and 35% (MTL). Although the recoveries were not exhaustive, they are a first approximation for the use of these new sorbent phases in the determination of this type of compound in aqueous solutions and urine.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) have been recognized as important signalling molecules involved in multiple physiological functions, including wound healing. Their exogenous delivery has been established as a new route for therapies, being the topical application the nearest to commercialization. Nevertheless, the gaseous nature of these therapeutic agents and their toxicity at high levels imply additional challenges in the design of effective delivery systems, including the tailoring of their morphology and surface chemistry to get controllable release kinetics and suitable lifetimes. This review highlights the increasing interest in the use of these gases in wound healing applications by presenting the various potential strategies in which NO and/or H2 S are the main therapeutic agents, with focus on their conceptual design, release behaviour and therapeutic performance. These strategies comprise the application of several types of nanoparticles, polymers, porous materials, and composites as new releasing carriers of NO and H2 S, with characteristics that will facilitate the application of these molecules in the clinical practice.

Abstract
Wound healing is a common physiological process which consists of a sequence of molecular and cellular events that occur following the onset of a tissue lesion in order to reconstitute barrier between body and external environment. The inherent properties of hydrogels allow the damaged tissue to heal by supporting a hydrated environment which has long been explored in wound management to aid in autolytic debridement. However, chronic non-healing wounds require added therapeutic features that can be achieved by incorporation of biomolecules and supporting cells to promote faster and better healing outcomes. In recent decades, numerous hydrogels have been developed and modified to match the time scale for distinct stages of wound healing. This review will discuss the effects of various types of hydrogels on wound pathophysiology, as well as the ideal characteristics of hydrogels for wound healing, crosslinking mechanism, fabrication techniques and design considerations of hydrogel engineering. Finally, several challenges related to adopting hydrogels to promote wound healing and future perspectives are discussed.

Abstract
Melanoma is one of the most aggressive skin cancers. However, there remain many limitations in the current clinical treatments of it. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have been considered to be a promising antitumor drug due to their excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability and biofunctionality. In this study, we prepared spherical ZnO NPs with an average diameter of less than 10 nm by a simple chemical method. According to thein vitrocytotoxicity assay, ZnO NPs in a certain concentration range (20-35μg ml-1) showed significant cytotoxicity to B16F10 melanoma cells, while having little effect on the viability of 3T3L1 fibroblasts. When cultured with B16F10 melanoma cells, ZnO NPs induced the generation of reactive oxygen and mitochondrial superoxide through the release of Zn2+, leading to oxidative stress in the cells, further reducing the mitochondrial membrane potential and decreasing the number of mitochondrial cristae. Furthermore, damaged mitochondria induced the release of apoptosis factors to promote cell apoptosis. FITC-Annexin V/propidium iodide double staining assay was used to analyze different apoptosis stages of B16F10 cells induced by ZnO NPs. A polymer hydrogel (Gel-F127-ZnO NPs) with Pluronic F127 as the carrier of ZnO NPs was fabricated for evaluating the antitumor effect of ZnO NPsin vivo. Thein vivoexperiment indicated that the tumor recurrence was significantly inhibited in tumor-bearing mice after treated with Gel-F127-ZnO NPs. Conclusively, ZnO NPs showed a strong antitumor effect bothin vitroandin vivo.

Abstract
Gasotransmitters belong to the subfamily of endogenous gaseous signaling molecules, which find a wide range of biomedical applications. Among the various gasotransmitters, nitric oxide (NO) has an enormous effect on the cardiovascular system. Apart from this, NO showed a pivotal role in neurological, respiratory, and immunological systems. Moreover, the paradoxical concentration-dependent activities make this gaseous signaling molecule more interesting. The gaseous NO has negligible stability in physiological conditions (37 °C, pH 7.4), which restricts their potential therapeutic applications. To overcome this issue, various NO delivering carriers were reported so far. Unfortunately, most of these NO donors have low stability, short half-life, or low NO payload. Herein, we review the synthesis of NO delivering motifs, development of macromolecular NO donors, their advantages/disadvantages, and biological applications. Various NO detection analytical techniques are discussed briefly, and finally, a viewpoint about the design of polymeric NO donors with improved physicochemical characteristics is predicted.

Abstract
Hydrogels, due to their excellent biochemical and mechnical property, have shown attractive advantages in the field of wound dressings. However, a comprehensive review of the functional hydrogel as a wound dressing is still lacking. This work first summarizes the skin wound healing process and relates evaluation parameters and then reviews the advanced functions of hydrogel dressings such as antimicrobial property, adhesion and hemostasis, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidation, substance delivery, self-healing, stimulus response, conductivity, and the recently emerged wound monitoring feature, and the strategies adopted to achieve these functions are all classified and discussed. Furthermore, applications of hydrogel wound dressing for the treatment of different types of wounds such as incisional wound and the excisional wound are summarized. Chronic wounds are also mentioned, and the focus of attention on infected wounds, burn wounds, and diabetic wounds is discussed. Finally, the future directions of hydrogel wound dressings for wound healing are further proposed.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) have been the focus of research as therapeutic agents because of their biological functions. The controlled release of NO and H2S can enhance NO-induced angiogenesis by H2S inhibiting PDE5A. Polymeric carriers have been researched to deliver gasotransmitters and used as therapeutic agents because of their important ability to help control the concentration of NO and H2S. Here, NO/H2S-releasing nanoparticles were self-assembled from carboxyl-functionalized mPEG-PLGH-thiobenzamide [(methoxy poly (ethylene glycol-b-lactic-co-glycolic-co-hydroxymethyl propionic acid)-thiobenzamide)], PTA copolymer and encapsulated diethylenetriamine NONOate (DETA NONOate). The PTA copolymers were characterized by FT-IR and 1H NMR, and the PTA-NO nanoparticles (PTA-NO-NPs) were confirmed to have core-shell structures with a size of about 140 nm. The PTA-NO-NPs were demonstrated to be biocompatible with viabilities above 100% in various cell types, with a sustained NO and H2S releasing behavior over 72 h. Co-releasing NO and H2S accelerated tube formation by HUVECs compared to the only NO- or H2S-releasing groups in vitro. Also, PTA-NO-NPs performed enhanced angiogenesis compared to the control groups with statistically significant differences ex vivo. These results indicate the feasibility of medical applications through NO and H2S crosstalk.

Abstract
The increasing emergence of antibiotic resistance coupled with the limited effectiveness of current treatments highlights the need for the development of new treatment modalities. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are a promising alternative with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. However, the clinical translation of AgNPs have been hampered primarily due to the delivery of unsafe levels of silver ions (Ag+) resulting in cellular toxicity and their susceptibility to aggregation resulting in loss of efficacy. Here, we describe a safe and effective, thermo-responsive AgNP hydrogel that provides antibacterial effects in conjunction with wound promoting properties. Using a murine model of wound infection, we demonstrate that the applied AgNP hydrogel to the wound (12 µg silver) not only provides superior bactericidal activity but also reduces inflammation leading to accelerated wound closure when compared to industry-standard silver sulfadiazine (302 µg silver). The AgNP hydrogel-treatment significantly accelerated wound closure at day 4 post-infection (56 closure) compared to both blank hydrogel or Ag SD (74% and 91% closure respectively) with a concurrent increase in PCNA-positive proliferating cells corresponding with a significant 32% improvement in wound re-epithelization compared to the blank hydrogel. Treatment of infected wounds with AgNP hydrogel also decreased neutrophil infiltration, increased anti-inflammatory Ym-1 positive M2 macrophages, and reduced the number of caspase-1 positive apoptotic cells. Therefore, this novel multifunctional AgNP thermo-responsive hydrogel is potentially a safe and effective treatment at much lower concentration for the treatment of wound infections. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In this study, we describe the development of a multifunctional thermo-responsive hydrogel of ultrasmall silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for controlled and optimized delivery of silver to infected wounds. The in vivo biological effects of the developed hydrogel showed significant S. aureus elimination from infected mouse wounds compared to a commercial antibacterial formulation. The developed AgNP hydrogel optimally regulates inflammatory responses to promote wound healing as indicated by increased cell proliferation and wound re-epithelization. Additionally, AgNP hydrogel shows significant potential in regulating neutrophil infiltration while increasing levels of anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages and reduces the number of apoptotic cells.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO•) is a free radical gas, produced in the human body to regulate physiological processes, such as inflammatory and immune responses. It is required for skin health; therefore, a lack of NO• is known to cause or worsen skin conditions related to three biomedical applications- infection treatment, injury healing, and blood circulation. Therefore, research on its topical release has been increasing for the last two decades. The storage and delivery of nitric oxide in physiological conditions to compensate for its deficiency is achieved through pharmacological compounds called NO-donors. These are further incorporated into scaffolds to enhance therapeutic treatment. A wide range of polymeric scaffolds has been developed and tested for this purpose. Hence, this review aims to give a detailed overview of the natural, synthetic, and semisynthetic polymeric matrices that have been evaluated for antimicrobial, wound healing, and circulatory dermal applications. These matrices have already set a solid foundation in nitric oxide release and their future perspective is headed toward an enhanced controlled release by novel functionalized semisynthetic polymer carriers and co-delivery synergetic platforms. Finally, further clinical tests on patients with the targeted condition will hopefully enable the eventual commercialization of these systems.

Abstract
Skin, the largest organ in the human body, provides several important functions, including providing protection from mechanical impacts, micro-organisms, radiation and chemicals; regulation of body temperature; the sensations of touch and temperature; and the synthesis of several substances including vitamin D, melanin, and keratin. Common dermatological disorders (CDDs) include inflammatory or immune-mediated skin diseases, skin infection, skin cancer, and wounds. In the treatment of skin disorders, topical administration has advantages over other routes of administration, and polymers are widely used as vehicles to facilitate the delivery of topical therapeutic agents, serving as matrices to keep therapeutic agents in contact with the skin. Nitric oxide (NO), a cellular signalling molecule, has attracted significant interest in treating a broad spectrum of diseases, including various skin disorders. However, there are a number of challenges in effectively delivering NO. It must be delivered in a controlled manner at sufficient concentrations to be efficacious and the delivery system must be stable during storage. The use of polymer-based systems to deliver NO topically can be an effective strategy to overcome these challenges. There are three main approaches for incorporating NO with polymers in topical delivery systems: (i) physical incorporation of NO donors into polymer bases; (ii) covalent attachment of NO donors to polymers; and (iii) encapsulation of NO donors in polymer-based particles. The latter two approaches provide the greatest control over NO release and have been used by numerous researchers in treating CDDs, including chronic wounds and skin cancer.

Abstract
Taking advantage of their respective wound-healing roles in physiology, the dual activity of hyaluronic acid (HA) and nitric oxide (NO) was combined to create a single-agent wound therapeutic. Carboxylic acid groups of HA (6 and 90 kDa) were chemically modified with a series of alkylamines via carbodiimide chemistry to provide secondary amines for subsequent N-diazeniumdiolate NO donor formation. The resulting NO-releasing HA derivatives stored 0.3-0.6 μmol NO mg-1 and displayed diverse release kinetics (5-75 min NO-release half-lives) under physiological conditions. The 6 kDa HA with terminal primary amines and intermediate release kinetics exhibited broad-spectrum bactericidal activity against common wound pathogens, including planktonic methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus as well as planktonic and biofilm-based multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The treatment of infected murine wounds with NO-releasing HA facilitated more rapid wound closure and decreased the quantity of the P. aeruginosa genetic material in the remaining wound tissue. Hyaluronidase readily degraded the HA derivatives, indicating that NO donor modification did not prohibit endogenous biodegradation pathways.

Protective Role of Glutathione and Nitric Oxide Production in the Pathogenesis of Pterygium. J Ophthalmol 2020; 2020:9638763.

Abstract
Objective In the pathogenesis of pterygium, the protective role of glutathione and nitric oxide production is unclear. These are important factors for homeostasis in the redox state of cells. The aim of this study was to determine the levels of these and related parameters in pterygium tissue. Patients and Methods. The study sample consisted of 120 patients diagnosed with primary or recurrent pterygium. Five groups of tissue samples were examined: control, primary pterygium, recurrent pterygium, and two groups of primary pterygium given a one-month NAC presurgery treatment (topical or systemic). The levels of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), nitric oxide (NO), 3-nitrotyrosine (3NT), reduced and oxidized glutathione (GSH and GSSG), and catalase (CAT) were evaluated in tissue homogenates. Results Compared with the control, decreased levels of eNOS, NO, and 3-nitrotyrosine as well as the degree of oxidation of GSH (GSSG%) were observed in primary and recurrent pterygium. 3-Nitrotyrosine and GSSG% were reduced in the other pterygium groups. GSH and CAT were enhanced in recurrent pterygium and systemic-treated primary pterygium but were unchanged for topical-treated primary pterygium. There was a strong positive correlation of eNOS with NO and 3NT, GSSG% with NO and 3NT, and GSH with GSSG and CAT. Women showed a higher level of GSH and catalase in primary pterygium, whereas a lower level of GSH and a higher level of NO in recurrent pterygium. Conclusion The results are congruent with the following proposed sequence of events leading to a protective response of the organism during the pathogenesis of primary pterygium: a decreased level of eNOS provokes a decline in the level of NO in pterygium tissue, which then leads to reduced S-nitrosylation of GSH or other thiols and possibly to the modulation of the intracellular level of GSH through synthesis and/or mobilization from other tissues.

Abstract
Poloxamers, also called Pluronic, belong to a unique class of synthetic tri-block copolymers containing central hydrophobic chains of poly(propylene oxide) sandwiched between two hydrophilic chains of poly(ethylene oxide). Some chemical characteristics of poloxamers such as temperature-dependent self-assembly and thermo-reversible behavior along with biocompatibility and physiochemical properties make poloxamer-based biomaterials promising candidates for biomedical application such as tissue engineering and drug delivery. The microstructure, bioactivity, and mechanical properties of poloxamers can be tailored to mimic the behavior of various types of tissues. Moreover, their amphiphilic nature and the potential to self-assemble into the micelles make them promising drug carriers with the ability to improve the drug availability to make cancer cells more vulnerable to drugs. Poloxamers are also used for the modification of hydrophobic tissue-engineered constructs. This article collects the recent advances in design and application of poloxamer-based biomaterials in tissue engineering, drug/gene delivery, theranostic devices, and bioinks for 3D printing. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Poloxamers, also called Pluronic, belong to a unique class of synthetic tri-block copolymers containing central hydrophobic chains of poly(propylene oxide) sandwiched between two hydrophilic chains of poly(ethylene oxide). The microstructure, bioactivity, and mechanical properties of poloxamers can be tailored to mimic the behavior of various types of tissues. Moreover, their amphiphilic nature and the potential to self-assemble into the micelles make them promising drug carriers with the ability to improve the drug availability to make cancer cells more vulnerable to drugs. However, no reports have systematically reviewed the critical role of poloxamer for biomedical applications. Research on poloxamers is growing today opening new scenarios that expand the potential of these biomaterials from "traditional" treatments to a new era of tissue engineering. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first review article in which such issue is systematically reviewed and critically discussed in the light of the existing literature.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) comprising metal ions or clusters coordinated to organic ligands have become a class of emerging materials in the field of biomedical research due to their bespoke compositions, highly porous nanostructures, large surface areas, good biocompatibility, etc. So far, many MOFs have been developed for imaging and therapy purposes. The unique porous nanostructures render it possible to adsorb and store various substances, especially for gaseous molecules, which is rather challenging for other types of delivery vectors. In this review, we mainly focus on the recent development of MOFs for controlled release of three gaseous transmitters, namely, nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Although these gaseous molecules have been known as air pollutants for a long time, much evidence has been uncovered regarding their important physiological functions as signaling molecules. These signaling molecules could be either physically absorbed onto or covalently linked to MOFs, allowing for the release of loaded signaling molecules in a spontaneous or controlled manner. We highlight the designing concept by selective examples and display their potential applications in many fields such as cancer therapy, wound healing, and anti-inflammation. We hope more effort could be devoted to this emerging fields to develop signaling molecule-releasing MOFs with practical applications.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are industrial toxins or pollutants; however, both are produced endogenously and have important biological roles in most mammalian tissues. The recognition that these gasotransmitters have a role in physiological and pathophysiological processes has presented opportunities to harness their intracellular effects either through inhibition of their production; or more commonly, through inducing their levels and or delivering them by various modalities. In this review article, we have focused on an array of NO and H2S donors, their hybrids with other established classes of drugs, and the various engineered delivery platforms such a fibers, polymers, nanoparticles, hydrogels, and others. In each case, we have reviewed the rationale for their development.

Abstract
Benlysta is a new drug approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) in 2019 for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus. In this study, we loaded the benlysta in the traditional sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel to investigate the potential application of the drug-loaded hydrogel for skin dressing or hypodermic drug. Live/dead staining images and the CCK-8 results showed that the benlysta-loaded hydrogel could promote the growth of human epidermal cells (HaCat), fibroblasts (L929), and endothelial cells while inhibiting the aggregation of inflammatory cells (macrophages). In addition, the hydrogel degradation and drug release are slow and controllable, and the gel time of drug-loaded hydrogel can be adjusted by adding sodium alginate ratios according to the requirement. In summary, we prepared a time-dependent drug-loaded hydrogel for potential application in the treatment of skin injury that may be caused by other diseases.

Abstract
Wound dressings are traditionally used to protect a wound and to facilitate healing. Currently, their function is expanding. There is an urgent need for new smart products that not only act as a protective barrier but also actively support the wound healing process. Hydrogel dressings are an example of such innovative products and typically facilitate wound healing by providing a hospitable and moist environment in which cells can thrive, while the wound can still breathe and exudate can be drained. These dressings also tend to be less painful or have a soothing effect and allow for additional drug delivery. In this review, various strategic and molecular design considerations are discussed that are relevant for developing a hydrogel into a wound dressing product. These considerations vary from material choice to ease of use and determine the dressing's final properties, application potential, and benefits for the patient. The focus of this review lies on identifying and explaining key aspects of hydrogel wound dressings and their relevance in the different phases of wound repair. Molecular targets of wound healing are discussed that are relevant when tailoring hydrogels toward specific wound healing scenarios. In addition, the potential of hydrogels is reviewed as medicine advances from a repair-based wound healing approach toward a regenerative-based one. Hydrogels can play a key role in the transition toward personal wound care and facilitating regenerative medicine strategies by acting as a scaffold for (stem) cells and carrier/source of bioactive molecules and/or drugs. Impact statement Improved wound healing will lead to a better quality of life around the globe. It can be expected that this coincides with a reduction in health care spending, as the duration of treatment decreases. To achieve this, new and modern wound care products are desired that both facilitate healing and improve comfort and outcome for the patient. It is proposed that hydrogel wound dressings can play a pivotal role in improving wound care, and to that end, this review aims to summarize the various design considerations that can be made to optimize hydrogels for the purpose of a wound dressing.

Abstract
A series of injectable and biocompatible delivery DOX-loaded supramolecular hydrogels were fabricated by using presynthesized DOX-2N-β-CD, Pluronic F-127 and α-CD through host–guest interactions and cooperative multivalent hydrogen bonding interactions. The compositions and morphologies of these hydrogels were confirmed by PXRD and SEM measurements. Moreover, the Rheological measurements of these hydrogels were studied and the studies found that they showed a unique thixotropic behavior, indicting a fast self-healing property after the continuous oscillatory shear stress. Using α-CD as a capping agent, slow and sustained DOX release was observed at different pH values after 72 h. The amount of DOX released at pH 7.4 was determined to be 49.0% for hydrogel 1, whereas the releasing amount of the DOX was increased to 66.3% for hydrogel 1 during the same period at pH 5.5 (P < 0.05), indicating a higher release rate of the drug under more acidic conditions. Taking hydrogel 1 as a representative material, the toxicities of DOX and hydrogel 1 on ovarian cancer cells (SKOV-3) at different exposure durations were examined. The results revealed that hydrogel 1 was less cytotoxic than free DOX to SKOV-3 cells (P < 0.05), suggesting sustained release by these hydrogels in the presence of ovarian cancer cells. It is anticipated that this exploration can provide a new strategy for preparing drug delivery systems. A series of injectable and biocompatible delivery DOX-loaded supramolecular hydrogels were fabricated by using presynthesized DOX-2N-β-CD, Pluronic F-127 and α-CD through host–guest interactions and cooperative multivalent hydrogen bonding interactions.![]()

Abstract
The pressure injury environment is characterized by overproduction of reactive oxygen species and exacerbated inflammation, which impair the healing of these lesions. Mediterranean-like diet may be a good intervention to improve the healing of pressure injury owing to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant components. Thus, this study evaluated the hypothesis that olive oil, as a main source of lipid in Mediterranean diet, could improve cutaneous wound healing of pressure injury in mice. Male Swiss mice were randomly divided into standard, olive oil, or soybean oil plus olive oil groups and fat represented 10% of total calories in all groups. Four weeks after the beginning of diet administration, 2 cycles of ischemia-reperfusion (IR) by external application of 2 magnets disks were performed in the dorsal skin to induce pressure injury formation. Fourteen days after the end of the second IR cycle, olive oil-based diet reduced neutrophils cells and cyclooxygenase-2 protein expression and increased nitric oxide synthase-2 and protein and lipid oxidation. Olive oil based-diet also increased nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 protein expression and collagen type I precursor protein expression. In addition, administration of olive oil-based diet promoted wound closure at 7, 10, and 14 days after the end of the second IR cycle. These findings support the hypothesis that olive oil-based diet improves cutaneous wound healing of pressure injury in mice through the reduction of inflammation and stimulation of redox equilibrium.

Pharmaceutics 2019; 11:pharmaceutics11100496. [PMID: 31569746 PMCID: PMC6836051 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics11100496] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2019] [Revised: 09/24/2019] [Accepted: 09/25/2019] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
The eradication of bacteria from wound sites and promotion of healing are essential for treating infected wounds. Nitric oxide (NO) is desirable for these purposes due to its ability to accelerate wound healing and its broad-spectrum antibacterial effects. We developed an in situ hydrogel-forming/NO-releasing powder dressing (NO/GP), which is a powder during storage and forms a hydrogel when applied to wounds, as a novel NO-releasing formulation to treat infected wounds. An NO/GP fine powder (51.5 μm) was fabricated by blending and micronizing S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), alginate, pectin, and polyethylene glycol (PEG). NO/GP remained stable for more than four months when stored at 4 or 37 °C. When applied to wounds, NO/GP absorbed wound fluid and immediately converted to a hydrogel. Additionally, wound fluid triggered a NO release from NO/GP for more than 18 h. The rheological properties of hydrogel-transformed NO/GP indicated that NO/GP possesses similar adhesive properties to marketed products (Vaseline). NO/GP resulted in a 6-log reduction in colony forming units (CFUs) of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which are representative drug-resistant gram-positive and -negative bacteria, respectively. The promotion of wound healing by NO/GP was demonstrated in mice with full-thickness wounds challenged with MRSA and P. aeruginosa. Thus, NO/GP is a promising formulation for the treatment of infected wounds.

Abstract
This research proposes the rational modeling, synthesis and evaluation of film dressing hydrogels based on polyvinyl alcohol crosslinked with 20 different kinds of dicarboxylic acids. These formulations would allow the sustained release of simultaneous bioactive compounds including allantoin, resveratrol, dexpanthenol and caffeic acid as a multi-target therapy in wound healing. Interaction energy calculations and molecular dynamics simulation studies allowed evaluating the intermolecular affinity of the above bioactive compounds by hydrogels crosslinked with the different dicarboxylic acids. According to the computational results, the hydrogels crosslinked with succinic, aspartic, maleic and malic acids were selected as the best candidates to be synthesized and evaluated experimentally. These four crosslinked hydrogels were prepared and characterized by FTIR, mechanical properties, SEM and equilibrium swelling ratio. The sustained release of the bioactive compounds from the film dressing was investigated in vitro and in vivo. The in vitro results indicate a good release profile for all four analyzed bioactive compounds. More importantly, in vivo experiments suggest that prepared formulations could considerably accelerate the healing rate of artificial wounds in rats. The histological studies show that these formulations help to successfully reconstruct and thicken epidermis during 14 days of wound healing. Moreover, the four film dressings developed and exhibited excellent biocompatibility. In conclusion, the novel film dressings based on hydrogels rationally designed with combinatorial and sustained release therapy could have significant promise as dressing materials for skin wound healing.

Abstract
Wound dressings and the healing enhancement (increasing healing speed and quality) are two components of wound care that lead to a proper healing. Wound care today consists mostly of providing an optimal environment by removing waste and necrotic tissues from a wound, preventing infections, and keeping the wounds adequately moist. This is however often not enough to re-establish the healing process in chronic wounds; with the local disruption of vascularization, the local environment is lacking oxygen, nutrients, and has a modified ionic and molecular concentration which limits the healing process. This disruption may affect cellular ionic pumps, energy production, chemotaxis, etc., and will affect the healing process. Biomaterials for wound healing range from simple absorbents to sophisticated bioactive delivery vehicles. Often placing a material in or on a wound can change multiple parameters such as pH, ionic concentration, and osmolarity, and it can be challenging to pinpoint key mechanism of action. This article reviews the literature of several inorganic ions and molecules and their potential effects on the different wound healing phases and their use in new wound dressings.

Abstract
Chronic skin wounds are the leading cause of nontraumatic foot amputations worldwide and present a significant risk of morbidity and mortality due to the lack of efficient therapies. The intrinsic characteristics of hydrogels allow them to benefit cutaneous healing essentially by supporting a moist environment. This property has long been explored in wound management to aid in autolytic debridement. However, chronic wounds require additional therapeutic features that can be provided by a combination of hydrogels with biochemical mediators or cells, promoting faster and better healing. We survey hydrogel-based approaches with potential to improve the healing of chronic wounds by reviewing their effects as observed in preclinical models. Topics covered include strategies to ablate infection and resolve inflammation, the delivery of bioactive agents to accelerate healing, and tissue engineering approaches for skin regeneration. The article concludes by considering the relevance of treating chronic skin wounds using hydrogel-based strategies.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) represents a potential wound therapeutic agent due to its ability to regulate inflammation and eradicate bacterial infections. Two broad strategies exist to utilize NO for wound healing; liberating NO from endogenous reservoirs, and supplementing NO from exogenous sources. This progress report examines the efficacy of a variety of NO-based methods to improve wound outcomes, with particular attention given to diabetes-associated chronic wounds.

Abstract
A deficiency of nitric oxide (NO) supply has been found to impair wound healing. The exogenous topical delivery of NO is a promising approach to enhance vasodilation and stimulate angiogenesis and collagen deposition. In this study, the CN groups on the surface of Prussian blue (PB) nanocubes were carefully reduced to -CH2-NH2 to conjugate with COOH group of hemin consisting of a Fe-porphyrin structure with strong affinity toward NO. Accordingly, the NO gas was able to coordinate to hemin-modified PB nanocubes. The hemin-modified PB carrying NO (PB-NO) can be responsible to near-infrared (NIR) light (808 nm) exposure to induce the thermo-induced liberation of NO based on the light-to-heat transformation property of PB nanocubes. The NO supply on the incisional wound sites can be readily topically dropped the colloidal solution of PB-NO for receiving NIR light irradiation. The enhanced blood flow was in a controllable manner whenever the wound sites containing PB-NO received NIR light irradiation. The promotion of blood perfusion following the on-demand multidelivery of NO has effectively facilitated the process of wound closure to enhance angiogensis and collagen deposition.

Abstract
Primary S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs) have received significant attention for their ability to modulate NO signaling in many physiological and pathophysiological processes. Such actions and their potential pharmaceutical uses demand a better knowledge of their stability in aqueous solutions. Herein, we investigated the effects of concentration, temperature, pH, room light and metal ions on the long-term kinetic behavior of two representative primary RSNOs, S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) and S-nitroso-N-acetylcysteine (SNAC). The thermal decomposition of GSNO and SNAC were shown to be affected by the auto-catalytic action of the thiyl radicals. At 25 °C in the dark and protected from the catalytic action of metal ions, GSNO and SNAC solutions 1 mM showed half-lives of 49 and 76 days, and apparent activation energies of 84 ± 14 and 90 ± 6 kJ mol-1, respectively. Both GSNO and SNAC exhibited increased stability in the pH range 5-7. At high pH the decomposition pathway of GSNO involves the formation of an intermediate (GS-NO22-), which decomposes generating GSH and nitrite. GSNO solutions displayed lower sensitivity to the catalytic action of metal ions than SNAC and the exposure to room light led to a 5-fold increase in the initial rates of decomposition of both RSNOs. In all comparisons, SNAC solutions showed higher stability than GSNO solutions. These findings provide strategic information about the stability of GSNO and SNAC and may open new perspectives for their use as experimental or therapeutic NO donors.
