Abstract
Traumatic multidrug-resistant bacterial infections are the most threat to wound healing. Lower extremity wounds under diabetic conditions display a significant delay during the healing process. To overcome these challenges, the utilization of protein-based nanocomposite dressings is crucial in implementing a successful regenerative medicine approach. These dressings hold significant potential as polymer scaffolds, allowing them to mimic the properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM). So, the objective of this study was to develop a nanocomposite film using dialdehyde-xanthan gum/soy protein isolate incorporated with propolis (PP) and halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) (DXG-SPI/PP/HNTs). In this protein-polysaccharide hybrid system, the self-healing capability was demonstrated through Schiff bonds, providing a favorable environment for cell encapsulation in the field of tissue engineering. To improve the properties of the DXG-SPI film, the incorporation of polyphenols found in PP, particularly flavonoids, is proposed. The synthesized films were subjected to investigations regarding degradation, degree of swelling, and mechanical characteristics. Additionally, halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were introduced into the DXG-SPI/PP nanocomposite films as a reinforcing filler with varying concentrations of 3 %, 5 %, and 7 % by weight. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis confirmed the proper embedding and dispersion of HNTs onto the DXG-SPI/PP nanocomposite films, leading to functional interfacial interactions. The structure and crystallinity of the synthesized nanocomposite films were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. Moreover, the developed DXG-SPI/PP/HNTs nanocomposite films significantly improved cell growth of NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells in the presence of PP and HNTs, indicating their cytocompatibility. The antibacterial activity of the nanocomposite was evaluated against Escherichia coli (E. Coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. Aureus), which are commonly associated with wound infections. Overall, our findings suggest that the synthesis of DXG-SPI/PP/HNTs nanocomposite scaffolds holds great promise as a clinically relevant biomaterial and exhibits strong potential for numerous challenging biomedical applications.

Abstract
This research presents a selective and sensitive electrochemical biosensor for the detection of the mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-MET). The biosensing is based on a modification of the SPCE (screen-printed carbon electrode) with the electrospun nanofiber containing eudragit (EU), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), and Zeolite imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-8) nanoparticles. EU/HPMC/ZIF-8 nanofibers have presented a high capability of electron transfer, and more active surface area than bare SPCE due to synergistic effects between EU, HPMC, and ZIF-8. On the other hand, EU/HPMC nanofibers provided high porosity, flexible structures, high specific surface area, and good mechanical strength. The presence of ZIF-8 nanoparticles improved the immobilization of anti-c-MET on the modified SPCE and also resulted in increasing the conductivity. By c-MET incubation on the modified SPCE, c-MET was connected to anti-c-MET, and consequently the electrochemical signal of [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- as the anion redox probe was reduced. In order to investigate the structural and morphological characteristics and elemental composition of electrospun nanofibers, various characterization methods including FE-SEM, XRD, FTIR, and EDS were used. Under optimum conditions with a working potential range -0.3-0.6 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), linear range (LR), correlation coefficient (R2), sensitivity, and limit of detection (LOD) were acquired at 100 fg/mL-100 ng/mL, 0.9985, 53.28 μA/cm2.dec, and 1.28 fg/mL, respectively. Moreover, the mentioned biosensor was investigated in a human plasma sample to determine c-MET and showed ideal results including reproducibility, stability, and good selectivity against other proteins.

Abstract
In the pursuit of magnesium (Mg) alloys with targeted mechanical properties, a multi-objective Bayesian optimisation workflow is presented to enable optimal Mg-alloy design. A probabilistic Gaussian process regressor model was trained through an active learning loop, while balancing the exploration and exploitation trade-off via an acquisition function of the upper confidence bound. New candidate alloys suggested by the optimiser within each iteration were appended to the training data, and the performance of this sequential strategy was validated via a regret analysis. Using the proposed approach, the dependency of the prediction error on the training data was overcome by considering both the predictions and their associated uncertainties. The method developed here, has been packaged into a web tool with a graphical user-interactive interface (GUI) that allows the proposed optimal Mg-alloy design strategy to be deployed.

Abstract
The low chrome uptake by collagen in the conventional tanning process leads to the pollution of the wastewater. Due to environmental concerns, leather scientists are already searching for innovative ways to produce pre-tanning agents as a high exhaustion chrome tanning auxiliary. Herein, a novel kind of pre-tanning agent is engineered by converting carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) to oxidized carboxymethyl cellulose (OCMC) via the hydrogen peroxide process. FT-IR and carboxyl content analysis demonstrated the increase in carboxyl content after oxidation. After that, the obtained OCMC was utilized as a pre-tanning agent, resulting in a high exhaustion of chrome (92.76 %) which is 27.76 % more than conventional chrome tanning (65 %), and the amount of chrome in wastewater reduced to 7.24 %. The hydrothermal stability of wet-blue increased by increasing the uptake of chrome (Ts = 118 °C). The obtained crust leather represented excellent mechanical properties (Tensile strength: 305.68 kg/cm2; tear strength: 50 kg/cm) and desirable organoleptic properties. The environmental analysis signifies a significant step towards a cleaner and sustainable tanning process (COD = 1600, BOD5 = 560 mg/L) compared to the conventional chrome tanning process. Consequently, the obtained results offer a green pre-tanning agent to meet the requirements of the sustainable development of the leather industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The combination of cells and biomaterials has become a powerful approach to regenerative medicine in recent years. Understanding the in-vitro interactions between cells and biomaterials is crucial for the success of regenerative medicine. AIM In this study, we developed an AD-pectin/chitosan/nano-crystalline cellulose scaffold with nano-hydroxy-apatite (n-HAP) and alendronate (ALN). The second step was to evaluate its effect on the immunomodulatory properties and biological behaviors of seeded adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) for bone tissue repair. MATERIAL AND METHOD After preparing and evaluating the characterization tests of the new combined n-HAP scaffold, we established different culture conditions to evaluate ADSC growth on this scaffold with or without ALN. The main assays were MTT assay, RT-PCR, and ELISA. RESULTS Our data regarding characterization tests (including SEM, TGA, FTIR, gelation time, swelling ratio, rheology and degradation tests) of ALN-loaded n-HAP scaffold showed the proper stability and good mechanical status of the scaffold. ADSC proliferation and viability increased in the presence of the scaffold compared with other conditions. Moreover, our data demonstrated increased gene expression and protein levels of anti-inflammatory TGF-β, HGF, and IDO cytokines in the presence of the ALN-loaded n-HAP scaffold, indicating the increased immunosuppressive activity of ADSCs in vitro. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates the promising abilities of the ALN-loaded n-HAP scaffold to increase the proliferation, viability, and immunomodulatory capacity of ADSCs, elucidating new aspects of cell-material interactions that can be used for bone tissue regeneration/repair, and paving the path of future research in developing new approaches for MSC- based therapy.

Abstract
Due to the characteristics of electrospun nanofibers (NFs), they are considered a suitable substrate for the adsorption and removal of heavy metals. Electrospun nanofibers are prepared based on optimized polycaprolactone (PCL, 12 wt%) and polyacrylic acid (PAA, 1 wt%) polymers loaded with graphene oxide nanoparticles (GO NPs, 1 wt%). The morphological, molecular interactions, crystallinity, thermal, hydrophobicity, and biocompatibility properties of NFs are characterized by spectroscopy (scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Thermogravimetric analysis), contact angle, and MTT tests. Finally, the adsorption efficacy of NFs to remove lead (Pb2+) from water and apple juice samples was determined using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The average diameter for PCL, PCL/PAA, and PCL/PAA/GO NFs was 137, 500, and 216 nm, respectively. Additionally, the contact angle for PCL, PCL/PAA, and PCL/PAA/GO NFs was obtained at 74.32º, 91.98º, and 94.59º, respectively. The cytotoxicity test has shown non-toxicity for fabricated NFs against the HUVEC endothelial cell line by more than 80% survival during 72 h. Under optimum conditions including pH (= 6), temperature (25 °C), Pb concentration (25 to 50 mg/L), and time (15 to 30 min), the adsorption efficiency was generally between 80 and 97%. The adsorption isotherm model of PCL/PAA/GO NFs in the adsorption of lead metal follows the Langmuir model, and the reaction kinetics follow the pseudo-second-order. PCL/PA/GO NFs have shown adsorption of over 80% in four consecutive cycles. The adsorption efficacy of NFs to remove Pb in apple juice has reached 76%. It is appropriate and useful to use these nanofibers as a high-efficiency adsorbent in water and food systems based on an analysis of their adsorption properties and how well they work.

Abstract
Skin tissue is damaged by factors such as burns, physical injuries and diseases namely diabetes. Infection and non-healing of burn wounds and lack of angiogenesis in diabetic wounds lead to extensive injuries and death. Therefore, the design of wound dressings with antibacterial and restorative capabilities is very important. In this study, nanofibers (NFs) including polyurethane (PU) and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) were prepared with different ratios and Mango peel extract (MPE) loaded into NFs by electrospinning method. The morphology, chemical structure, porosity, degradation, water vapor permeability, mechanical properties, wettability, antioxidant activity and some cell studies and evaluation of their antibacterial properties were investigated. The optimal mat (PU90/HPMC10) had a defect-free morphology with homogeneous NFs. Furthermore, it showed improved biodegradability, water vapor permeability and porosity compared to other Mats. All NFs were non-toxic with hydrophilic behavior in the cellular environment and had acceptable hemocompatibility. The PU90/HPMC10/20 % optimal scaffold had significantly higher cell viability and proliferation than other samples and also had a higher antibacterial ability against pathogenic bacteria S. aureus (17 mm) and E. coli (11 mm). All these findings confirm that the produced NF mats, especially those loaded with MPE, have a high potential to be used as an effective wound dressing.

Abstract
Wound dressing materials such as nanofiber (NF) mats have gained a lot of attention in recent years owing to their wonderful effect on accelerating the healing process and protection of wounds. In this regard, three different types of NF mats were fabricated using pure polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), PVP/κ-carrageenan (KG), and ursolic acid (UA) in the optimal PVP/KG ratio by electrospinning method to apply them as wound dressings. The morphology, chemical structure, degradation, porosity, mechanical properties and antioxidant activity of the produced NFs were investigated. Moreover, cell studies (e.g., cell proliferation, adhesion, and migration) and their antibacterial properties were evaluated. Adding KG and UA reduced the mean diameter size of the PVP-based NFs to ∼98 nm in the optimal sample, with defect-free morphology. The PVP/KG/UA 0.25 % exhibited the highest porosity, hydrophilicity, and degradation rate and a wound closure rate of 60 %, 2.5 times higher than that of the control group. Furthermore, this sample's proliferation and antibacterial ability were significantly higher than the other groups. These findings confirmed that the produced UA-loaded NFs have excellent properties as wound dressing.

Abstract
Objectives Recently, topical drug delivery system has gained increasing interest in the treatment of oral lesions. Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting mucous membranes and skin. The current study aimed to fabricate a drug delivery system containing mycophenolate mofetil for the treatment of oral lichen planus lesions. Methods Firstly, a nanofibrous mat containing mycophenolate mofetil, zinc oxide nanoparticles, and aloe vera was designed and fabricated. The antimicrobial, cytocompatibility, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidative characteristics of fabricated scaffolds were evaluated. Then, this nanofibrous mat was applied to 12 patients suffering from bilateral erythematous/erosive Oral Lichen planus (OLP) lesions for 2 weeks. The treatment outcomes, including oral symptoms and lesion size, were compared with the routine topical treatment of these lesions; Triamcinolone ointment. Results The characterization of nanofibrous mat approved the successful fabrication of scaffolds. The fabricated nanofibers showed notable antimicrobial activity. The amounts of TNF 𝛼, IL6, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) of stimulated human gingival fibroblasts were decreased after exposure to NFs/Myco/Alv/ZnO scaffolds. The clinical trial results demonstrated the same therapeutic effects compared to the commercial ointment, while the symptoms of patients were significantly improved in the mats group.Significance. Considering the successful results of this study, the application of nanofibrous mat can be a promising product for improving treatment outcomes of OLP.

Abstract
A novel electrochemical immunosensor was developed for ultrasensitive determination of the hormone insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) based on immobilization of a specific monoclonal antibody on the electrospun nanofibers of Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/Zein-reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanoparticle. The nanofibers deposited on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) showed good electrochemical behaviors with synergistic effects between PAN, Zein, and rGO. PAN/Zein nanofibers were used due to flexibility, high porosity, good mechanical strength, high specific surface area, and flexible structures, while rGO nanoparticles were used to improve the detection sensitivity and anti-IGF-1 immobilizing. Different characterization techniques were applied consisting of FE-SEM, FT-IR, and EDS for the investigation of morphological features and nanofiber size. The redox reactions of [Fe(CN)6]4-/3- on the modified electrode surface were probed for studying the immobilization and determination processes, using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Under optimal conditions, LOD (limit of detection) and LOQ (limit of quantification) were obtained as 55.72 fg/mL and 185.73 fg/mL respectively, and sensitivity was acquired 136.29 μA/cm2.dec. Moreover, a wide linear range was obtained ranging from 1 pg/mL to 10 ng/mL for IGF-1. Furthermore, the proposed method was applied for the analysis of IGF-1 in several human plasma samples with acceptable results, and it also exhibited high selectivity, stability, and reproducibility.

Abstract
Edible films applied in food packaging must possess excellent inhibitory and mechanical properties. Protein-based films exhibit a high capacity for film formation and offer good gas barrier properties. However, they have weak mechanical and water barrier characteristics. The objective of this research was to develop active composite films based on reinforced soy protein isolate (SPI)/Kappa-carrageenan (K) with varying concentrations of bacterial cellulose nanofibrils (BCN). Increasing the BCN concentration improved the morphological, structural, mechanical, water vapor barrier, and moisture content properties. In comparison to the pure SPI film (S), the film with a high BCN concentration demonstrated a significant decrease in WS (22.98 ± 0.78 %), MC (21.72 ± 0.68 %), WVP (1.22 ± 0.14 g mm-1 S-1 Pa-1 10-10), and EAB (57.77 ± 5.25 %) properties. It should be emphasized that there was no significant alteration in the physicomechanical properties of the optimal film (SKB0.75) containing Zenian-loaded metal-organic frameworks (ZM). However, it substantially enhanced the thermal stability of this film, which can be attributed to the strong interfacial interactions between polymer chains and ZM. Furthermore, the ZM films inhibited the growth of pathogenic bacteria and increased the DPPH antioxidant activity. Thus, SKB0.75-ZM2 films can be utilized as practical components in food packaging.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A novel efficient pH-sensitive targeted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent and innovative radio-sensitizing system were synthesized based on MnO2 NPs coated with biocompatible poly-dimethyl-amino-ethyl methacrylate-Co-itaconic acid, (DMAEMA-Co-IA) and targeted with methotrexate (MTX). MATERIALS AND METHODS The as-established NPs were fully characterized and evaluated for MRI signal enhancement, relaxivity, in vitro cell targeting, cell toxicity, blood compatibility, and radiotherapy (RT) efficacy. RESULTS The targeted NPs MnO2@Poly(DMAEMA-Co-IA) and MTX-loaded NPs inhibited MCF-7 cell viability more effectively than free MTX after 24 and 48 h, respectively, with no noticeable toxicity. Additionally, the insignificant hemolytic activity demonstrated their proper hemo-compatibility. T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging was used to distinguish the differential uptake of the produced MnO2@Poly(DMAEMA-Co-IA)-MTX NPs in malignant cells compared to normal ones in the presence of high and low MTX receptor cells (MCF-7 and MCF-10A, respectively). In MRI, the produced theranostic NPs displayed pH-responsive contrast enhancement. As shown by in vitro assays, treatment of cells with MnO2@Poly(DMAEMA-Co-IA)-MTX NPs prior to radiotherapy in hypoxic conditions significantly enhanced therapeutic efficacy. CONCLUSION We draw the conclusion that using MnO2@Poly(DMAEMA-Co-IA)-MTX NPs in MR imaging and combination radiotherapy may be a successful method for imaging and radiation therapy of hypoxia cells.

Abstract
An electrochemical immunosensing platform was developed for the detection of receptor tyrosine kinase-orphan receptor-2 (ROR2) at a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified with the electrospun nanofiber containing polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), soy, and Au nanoparticles (AuNPs). The PVP/soy/AuNP nanofiber exhibited good electrochemical behavior due to synergistic effects between PVP, soy, and AuNPs. The PVP/soy in the modified film provided good mechanical strength, high porosity, flexible structures, and high specific surface area. On the other hand, the presence of AuNPs effectively improved conductivity, as well as the immobilization of anti-ROR2 on the modified GCE, leading to enhanced sensitivity. Various characterization approaches such as FE-SEM, FTIR, and EDS were used for investigating the morphological and structural features, and the elemental composition. The designed immunosensor performance was investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Under optimum conditions with a working potential range from -0.2 to 0.6 V (vs. SCE), sensitivity, linear range (LR), limit of detection (LOD), and correlation coefficient (R2) were acquired at 122.26 μA/cm2 dec, 0.01-1000 pg/mL, 3.39 fg/mL, and 0.9974, respectively. Furthermore, the determination of ROR2 in human plasma samples using the designed immunosensing platform was examined and exhibited satisfactory results including good selectivity against other proteins, reproducibility, and cyclic stability.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of nano-gels containing ginger essential oil (GEO) (NGs) made from gelatin and carrageenan gum on ethyl cellulose/casein nano-fibers (NFs). For this purpose, the mechanical, thermal, morphological, antibacterial, antioxidant, hemocompatibility, and biocompatibility properties of the NFs were assessed. It was observed that incorporating NGs into ethyl cellulose/casein NFs improved their morphology, porosity, mechanical properties, and thermal stability. Analysis of the SEM images revealed that adding NGs resulted in NFs with appropriate morphology, devoid of beads, and smaller diameters. The NFs containing NGs exhibited favorable antioxidant properties and inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Cell viability studies demonstrated that none of the NFs were toxic to normal cells (Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC)) and exhibited hemocompatibility. Considering these properties, ethyl cellulose/casein NFs containing NGs and GEO can be utilized as food packaging materials.

Abstract
The effect of enzymatic hydrolysis of apricot kernel protein with different proteases (Alcalase, pancreatin, pepsin, and trypsin) on the amino acid content, degree of hydrolysis (DH), antioxidant, and antibacterial characteristics of the resulting hydrolyzates was investigated in this study. The composition of amino acids (hydrophobic: ~35%; antioxidant: ~13%), EAA/TAA ratio (~34%), and PER index (~1.85) indicates the ability of the hydrolyzate as a source of nutrients and antioxidants with high digestibility. Enzymatic hydrolysis with increasing DH (from 3.1 to a maximum of 37.9%) led to improved solubility (especially in the isoelectric range) and changes in water- and oil-holding capacity. The highest free radical scavenging activity of DPPH (83.3%), ABTS (88.1%), TEAC (2.38 mM), OH (72.5%), NO (65.7%), antioxidant activity in emulsion and formation of TBARS (0.36 mg MDA/L), total antioxidant (1.61), reducing power (1.17), chelation of iron (87.7%), copper (34.8%) ions, and inhibition of the growth of Escherichia coli (16.3 mm) and Bacillus cereus (15.4 mm) were affected by the type of enzymes (especially Alcalase). This research showed that apricot kernel hydrolyzate could serve as a nutrient source, emulsifier, stabilizer, antioxidant, and natural antibacterial agent in functional food formulations.

Abstract
Gelatin-based electrospun fibers are promising materials for food packaging but suffer from high hydrophilicity and weak mechanical properties. To overcome these limitations, in the current study, gelatin-based nanofibers were reinforced by using oxidized xanthan gum (OXG) as a crosslinking agent. The nanofibers' morphology was investigated through SEM, and the observations showed that the fibers' diameter was decreased by enhancing OXG content. The resultant fibers with more OXG content exhibited high tensile stress so the optimal sample obtained showed a tensile stress of 13.24 ± 0.76 MPa, which is up to 10 times more than neat gelatin fiber. Adding OXG to gelatin fibers reduced water vapor permeability, water solubility, and moisture content properties while increasing thermal stability and porosity. Additionally, the nanofibers containing propolis displayed a homogenous morphology with high antioxidant and antibacterial activities. In general, the findings suggested that the designed fibers could be used as a matrix for active food packaging.

Abstract
This research work is the first report on the synthesis and stabilization of [Fe-Salophen] and [Fe-Salen] complexes by two methods of surface modification and anchoring of synthesized Schiff base ligand on the surface of graphene quantum dots (GQDs). The GQDs contain oxygenated functional groups that can act as non-radiative electron-hole recombination centers. Therefore removing these oxygen functional groups may improve quantum yield by reducing or deactivating the surface. In this work, GQDs with the amine functional group were synthesized with a quantum yield of 37.48%. The physicochemical properties of GQDs were investigated by Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) and fluorescence spectroscopies, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Transmission electron microscope (TEM). The synthesis of GQDs-[Fe-Salen] and GQDs-[Fe-Salophen] was evaluated by FT-IR, Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and Energy dispersive X-Ray analysis (EDX) analyses. Then, using MTT- assay, annexin V-FITC/PI, DAPI staining and cellular uptake assays, the biochemical activity of these complexes on the MCF7 cell line was investigated. The results shows that GQDs-[Fe-Salen] and GQDs-[Fe-Salophen] affect the survival of MCF7 cancer cells and, by nuclear fragmentation cause 35.77% and 19.41% of early apoptosis in cells, respectively. Also was found cellular uptake of GQDs-[Fe-Salen] is higher than that of GQDs-[Fe-Salophen].

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is known as a main cardiovascular disease that leads to extensive cell death by destroying vasculature in the affected cardiac muscle. The development of ultrasound-mediated microbubble destruction has inspired extensive interest in myocardial infarction therapeutics, targeted delivery of drugs, and biomedical imaging. In this work, we describe a novel therapeutic ultrasound system for the targeted delivery of biocompatible microstructures containing basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) to the MI region. The microspheres were fabricated using poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-heparin-polyethylene glycol- cyclic arginine-glycine-aspartate-platelet (PLGA-HP-PEG-cRGD-platelet). The micrometer-sized core-shell particles consisting of a perfluorohexane (PFH)-core and a PLGA-HP-PEG-cRGD-platelet-shell were prepared using microfluidics. These particles responded adequately to ultrasound irradiation by triggering the vaporization and phase transition of PFH from liquid to gas in order to achieve microbubbles. Ultrasound imaging, encapsulation efficiency cytotoxicity, and cellular uptake of bFGF-MSs were evaluated using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro. In vivo imaging demonstrated effective accumulation of platelet- microspheres injected into the ischemic myocardium region. The results revealed the potential use of bFGF-loaded microbubbles as a noninvasive and effective carrier for MI therapy.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) on the physicochemical characteristics of the soy protein isolated/basil seed gum (SPI/BSG) film activated with propolis (PP). The obtained results of scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and tensile investigations illustrated that the addition of HNTs as nanofiller led to positive changes in the morphology, thermal stability, and mechanical characteristics of SPI/BSG films. The barrier properties of films considerably decreased with incorporation of HNTs. Furthermore, the encapsulation of PP as bioactive agent into the produced films significantly increased (P < 0.05) the antioxidant potential of the samples in DPPH radical-scavenging activity assays. The antibacterial effects of film also significantly increased (P < 0.05) after the encapsulation of PP. In conclusion, the produced films illustrated acceptable efficiency for usage in food packaging system.

Abstract
Introduction: The present study was done to assess the effect of molecularly-targeted core/shell of iron oxide/gold nanoparticles (Fe3O4@AuNPs) on tumor radiosensitization of SKBr-3 breast cancer cells. Methods: Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2)-targeted Fe3O4@AuNPs were synthesized by conjugating trastuzumab (TZ, Herceptin) to PEGylated (PEG)-Fe3O4@AuNPs (41.5 nm). First, the Fe3O4@Au core-shell NPs were decorated with PEG-SH to synthesize PEG-Fe3O4@AuNPs. Then, the TZ was reacted to OPSS-PEG-SVA to conjugate with the PEG-Fe3O4@AuNPs. As a result, structure, size and morphology of the developed NPs were assessed using Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The SKBr-3 cells were treated with different concentrations of TZ, Fe3O4@Au, and TZ-PEG-Fe3O4@AuNPs for irradiation at doses of 2, 4, and 8 Gy (from X-ray energy of 6 and 18 MV). Cytotoxicity was assessed by MTT assay, BrdU assay, and flow cytometry. Results: Results showed that the targeted TZ-PEG-Fe3O4@AuNPs significantly improved cell uptake. The cytotoxic effects of all the studied groups were increased in a higher concentration, radiation dose and energy-dependent manner. A combination of TZ, Fe3O4@Au, and TZ-PEG-Fe3O4@AuNPs with radiation reduced cell viability by 1.35 (P=0.021), 1.95 (P=0.024), and 1.15 (P=0.013) in comparison with 8 Gy dose of 18 MV radiation alone, respectively. These amounts were obtained as 1.27, 1.58, and 1.10 for 8 Gy dose of 6 MV irradiation, respectively. Conclusion: Radiosensitization of breast cancer to mega-voltage radiation therapy with TZ-PEG-Fe3O4@AuNPs was successfully obtained through an optimized therapeutic approach for molecular targeting of HER-2.

Abstract
Nowadays the importance of vitamins is clear for everyone. However, many patients are suffering from insufficient intake of vitamins. Incomplete intake of different vitamins from food sources due to their destruction during food processing or decrease in their bioavailability when mixing with other food materials, are factors resulting in vitamin deficiency in the body. Therefore, various lipid based nanocarriers such as nanoliposomes were developed to increase the bioavailability of bioactive compounds. Since the function of nanoliposomes containing vitamins on the body has a direct relationship with the quality of produced nanoliposomes, this review study was planned to investigate the several aspects of liposomal characteristics such as size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, and encapsulation efficiency on the quality of synthesized vitamin-loaded nanoliposomes.

Abstract
One significant aspect of the current therapeutic agents employed in wound healing involves the engineering of nano polymeric scaffolds to mimic the properties of extracellular matrix (ECM). The present work aimed to prepare and evaluate Eudragit® L100 (EU) nanofibers in combination with soy protein isolate (SPI). Allantoin (Ala) with a 2 wt% was encapsulated as a model drug renowned for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents. Moreover, the synthesized ZnO-halloysite nanotubes (ZHNTs) with different concentrations of 1, 3, and 5 wt% were incorporated into the EU/SPI/Ala nanofiber as a reinforcing filler and a remarkable antibacterial agent. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis showed that by increasing the weight percentage of SPI from 1 % to 2.5 %, the average diameter of nanofibers decreased from 132.3 ± 51.3 nm to 126.7 ± 47.2 nm. It was 223.5 ± 95.6 nm for nanofibers containing 5 wt% ZHNTs (the optimal sample). The evaluation of in vitro release kinetics of Ala for 24 h, showed a burst release during the first 2 h and a sustained release during the subsequent times. Moreover, the structure, crystallinity, and thermal stability of synthesized nanofibers were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), respectively. In vitro degradation and mechanical characteristics of these nanofibers were studied. Furthermore, the capability of the nanofibers for cell proliferation was revealed through the MTT test and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) images of cell attachment. The antimicrobial activity of EU/SPI/Ala/ZHNTs showed that this sample with high ZHNTs content (5 w%t) had the most remarkable antibacterial activity against S. aureus. The results revealed that EU/SPI/Ala/ZHNTs mats could be promising potential wound dressings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Flow diversion has gradually become a standard treatment for intracranial aneurysms of the anterior circulation. Recently, the off-label use of the flow diverters to treat posterior circulation aneurysms has also increased despite initial concerns of rupture and the suboptimal results. This study aimed to explore the change in complication rates and treatment outcomes across time for posterior circulation aneurysms treated using flow diversion and to further evaluate the mechanisms and variables that could potentially explain the change and outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review using a standardized data set at multiple international academic institutions was performed to identify patients with ruptured and unruptured posterior circulation aneurysms treated with flow diversion during a decade spanning January 2011 to January 2020. This period was then categorized into 4 intervals. RESULTS A total of 378 procedures were performed during the study period. Across time, there was an increasing tendency to treat more vertebral artery and fewer large vertebrobasilar aneurysms (P = .05). Moreover, interventionalists have been increasingly using fewer overlapping flow diverters per aneurysm (P = .07). There was a trend toward a decrease in the rate of thromboembolic complications from 15.8% in 2011-13 to 8.9% in 2018-19 (P = .34). CONCLUSIONS This multicenter experience revealed a trend toward treating fewer basilar aneurysms, smaller aneurysms, and increased usage of a single flow diverter, leading to a decrease in the rate of thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications.

Abstract
A set of poly (ε-caprolactone)/soy protein isolate (PCL/SPI) mats with different ratios of PCL to SPI was fabricated using the electrospinning method. The mat with PCL to SPI ratio of 95:5 (PS 95:5) had the narrowest nanofibers, the highest percentage of porosity, the lowest swelling ratio, the least vapor transmission, and the slowest degradation rate among the prepared mats. The hemolysis assay indicated that all mats can be considered biocompatible biomaterials. In continue, three different weight ratios of tea tree oil (TTO) were loaded into the PS 95:5 mat. The release profiles illustrated that higher amounts of TTO could be released in an acidic environment. The antioxidant activity of the mats increased by the increase in their TTO content. The cell viability test, cell adhesion images, and live/dead assay of TTO-loaded mats affirmed that all fabricated mats were biocompatible. The scratch wound assay expressed that TTO accelerates the rate of wound closure. The TTO-loaded mats illustrated antibacterial activity against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The obtained outcomes revealed that TTO-loaded PCL/SPI mats can be considered promising potential wound dressings.

Abstract
Recently, the use of bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) produced by Acetobacter, which has suitable properties for tissue engineering application as a perfect wound dressing, has attracted considerable attention. For this purpose, we successfully developed honey loaded BNC-reinforced gelatin/dialdehyde-modified
guar gum films (H/BNC/Ge/D-GG). Prepared films were studied for their morphological, thermal stability, mechanical, water solubility and degradability properties. The physicochemical properties of the developed films with or without honey loading were studied. The results indicated that by
enhancing the honey content of the film, the degradation behavior, adhesion and proliferation of NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells were improved. The films with 15 wt% of honey revealed inhibition activity against S. aureus (13.0±0.1 mm) and E. coli (15.0±1.0 mm) bacteria.
Cell culture results demonstrated that the prepared films had good cytocompatibility. Based on the results, the prepared H/BNC/Ge/D-GG films appear to have high potential for antibacterial wound dressings.

Abstract
The effect of glutaraldehyde and calcium cations as covalent and ionic crosslinkers was investigated on the main characteristics of scaffolds based on chitosan and cellulose nanocrystals. Therefore, four different scaffolds based on chitosan/cellulose nanocrystals with different crosslinking methods were fabricated using the freeze-drying method for potential use in bone tissue engineering. The structural and chemical features of prepared scaffolds were studied by the FTIR technique. FESEM images revealed that all scaffold samples are porous three-dimensional networks in which the pores are connected. TGA analysis showed that the thermal stability of scaffolds based on chitosan/cellulose nanocrystals has not been changed significantly by using different crosslinking methods. The chitosan/cellulose nanocrystals scaffold crosslinked by glutaraldehyde represented the highest compressive strength and the uncrosslinked scaffold showed the highest swelling ratio in comparison to the other scaffolds. The fastest degradation rate belonged to the scaffold crosslinked by calcium cations. FESEM images and EDX analysis confirmed that fabricated scaffolds have good biomineralization ability. The cell viability and cell attachment results indicated that all four scaffolds support cell proliferation and cell adhesion. However, the viability of NIH3T3 fibroblast cells in the presence of glutaraldehyde-containing scaffolds was lower than that of other scaffolds.

Abstract
The novel folate conjugated Thermo/pH-responsive magnetic nanoparticles (folate-poly-MNPs) have been developed as a potential nanocarrier for improving site-specific drug delivery, tumor drug accumulation, and therapeutic effects while reducing the adverse effects of conventional drug delivery systems. To evaluate the anticancer efficacy of developed tumor-targeted drug delivery system, forty rat models of breast cancer received saline as control, DOX, DOX-poly-MNPs, and DOX-folate-poly-MNPs at a dose of 2 mg/kg/48 h. The DOX-folate-poly-MNPs showed a significant increase in protein expression of BAX and C-caspase-3 with concomitant downregulation of Bcl-2 expression and ki67 proliferation index compared to the DOX group. The synergistic antitumor efficacy of passive and active drug targeting led to enhanced drug uptake, increased tumor cell apoptosis, decreased tumor volume, and a prolonged survival rate in animals, suggesting that DOX-folate-poly-MNPs may prove to be a promising nanomedicine for the smart treatment of breast cancer in the future.

Abstract
Due to their lack of multifunctionality, the majority of traditional wound dressings do not support all the clinical requirements. Bilayer wound dressings with multifunctional properties can be attractive for effective skin regeneration. In the present study, we designed a multifunctional bilayer scaffold containing Chitosan-Polycaprolactone (PC) nanofiber and tannic acid (TA) reinforced methacrylate gelatin (GM)/alginate (Al) hydrogel (GM/Al/TA). PC nanofibers were coated with GM/Al/TA hydrogel to obtain a bilayer nanocomposite scaffold (Bi-TA). The GM/Al/TA hydrogel layer of Bi-TA showed antibacterial, free radical scavenging, and biocompatibility properties. Also, PC nanofiber acted as a barrier for preventing bacterial invasion and moisture loss of the hydrogel layer. The wound healing performance of the Bi-TA scaffold was investigated via a full-thickness wound model. In addition, the histopathological and immunohistochemical (IHC) stainings of transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were assessed. The results indicated an enhanced wound closure rate, effective collagen deposition, quick re-epithelialization, more skin appendages, and replacement of defect area with normal skin tissue by Bi-TA scaffold compared to other groups. Additionally, the regulation of TGF-β1 and TNF-α was observed by Bi-TA dressing. Overall, the Bi-TA with appropriate structural and multifunctional properties can be an excellent candidate for developing effective dressings for wound healing applications.

Abstract
The purpose of the present research was to fabricate ethylcellulose (ECL)/polycaprolactone (PCL)/gelatin (GEL) electrospun nanofibers containing Zataria multiflora essential oil (ZEO) and zinc oxide nanoparticle (ZnO) to provide an appropriate substrate for food packaging. The ECL/PCL/GEL was incorporated with ZEO and ZnO at the concentrations of 10, 20, 30 and 50 wt% and 3 wt%, respectively. The results of ECL/PCL/GEL/ZEO/ZnO nanofiber exhibited uniform morphology with a mean diameter ranging from 361.85 ± 18.7 to 467.33 ± 14.50 nm and enhanced thermal stability. The ECL/PCL/GEL/ZEO/ZnO nanofiber had the highest mechanical parameters, such as young's modulus (437.49 ± 18), tensile strength (7.88 ± 0.7), and elongation at break (5.02 ± 0.6) and water contact angle (61.13 ± 0.5), compared with the other nanofibers. The cell viability during 48 and 72 h was obtained to be about more than 80% for all the nanofibers. Additionally, the ECL/PCL/GEL incorporated with 50% ZEO and 3% ZnO displayed the highest antioxidant activity (34.61 ± 1.98%) and antifungal properties against Penicillium notatum and Aspergillus niger. In general, the ECL/PCL/GEL with the weight ratio of 20:70:10 nanofiber incorporated with 30% ZEO and 3% ZnO was obtained to have appropriate mechanical, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties and thermal stability.

Abstract
The present work was aimed to produce a novel bioactive nanofiber (NFs) based on Ethyl cellulose (EC), Soy protein isolated (SPI), and containing Bitter orange peel extract (BOPE) by electrospinning technology. The EC/SPI NFs were formulated with different weight ratios of 1:1, 2:1, and 1:2 denoted as ES11, ES21, and ES12, respectively, and investigated by several analyses. Based on the obtained results, the maximum hydrogen interactions between these two polymers, ES11 NFs offered a uniform morphology without bead with the diameter of 185.33 nm as a result of the compatibility of the polymer solutions of EC and SPI. Moreover, appropriate thermal stability was presented along with more porosity (78%), maximum water vapor transmission rate (657 g/m2.24h), good tensile stress (6.12 MPa), and acceptable water contact angel (82.3°). Therefore, ES11 NFs were selected as the optimal sample for incorporation of the BOPE as the antibacterial and antioxidant agent. According to the antioxidant activity test, the highest concentration (20% wt) of this extract increased the antioxidant activity of NF around 64.7% and also inhibited the growth of pathogenic bacteria (S. areus, and E. coli). Therefore, the ES11 electrospun NFs containing 20% BOPE can be a beneficial system to increase the safety and quality of foods.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of zoledronic acid (ZOL)-loaded lipidic nanoparticles (ZOL-NLCs) in enhancing the efficiency of paclitaxel (Pac) in the context of cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and invasiveness of HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells. ZOL-NLCs were characterized in terms of zeta potential, particle size, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) as well as cell internalization. To measure the anti-proliferative effects of ZOL-NLCs, annexin-V/PI and MTT assays were employed. Real-time PCR and western blot analysis were performed to identify the molecular mechanisms underlying the apoptosis in response to the studied conditions. Furthermore, the transwell migration assay was applied to clarify the role of applied formulations on the invasiveness of HepG2 cells. Our results demonstrated that the optimized ZOL had an average particle size of 105 ± 6 nm with a nearly narrow size distribution. The IC50 values for ZOL and ZOL-NLCs were 90 ± 3.1 and 54.6 ± 2.4 µM, respectively. The population of apoptotic cells was increased from 17 ± 2% to 27 ± 4% (p < 0.05) in response to treatment with ZOL-NLCs. ZOL-loaded nanoparticles triggered the mRNA expression of Bax as pro-apoptotic marker and E-cadherin as epithelial one along with a decrease in mesenchymal marker, N-cadherin, and Bcl-xl as an anti-apoptotic marker in HepG2 cells. These outcomes were consistent with western blot analysis of protein expressions. Besides, ZOL-incorporated lipidic nanoparticles reduced the migration of HepG2 cells significantly. Our data suggest that the formulation of ZOL into lipidic nanoparticles can be considered a potential therapeutic approach that can enhance the efficacy of Pac chemotherapy.

Abstract
Resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs is the main limitation of cancer therapy. The combination use of chemotherapeutic agents and galangin (a naturally active flavonoid) amplifies the effectiveness of cancer treatment. This study aimed to prepare arginyl-glycyl-aspartic acid (RGD) containing nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC-RGD) to improve the bioavailability of galangin and explore its ability in improving the cytotoxic effects of doxorubicin (DOX). Galangin-loaded NLC-RGD was prepared by hot homogenization method and characterized by diverse techniques. Then, cytotoxicity, uptake, and apoptosis induction potential of prepared nanoparticles beside the DOX were evaluated on A549 lung cancer cells. Finally, the expression level of some ABC transporter genes was evaluated in galangin-loaded NLC-RGD-treated cells. Nanoparticles with appropriate characteristics of the delivery system (size: 120 nm, polydispersity index: 0.23, spherical morphology, and loading capacity: 59.3 mg/g) were prepared. Uptake experiments revealed that NLC-RGD promotes the accumulation of galangin into cancerous cells by integrin-mediated endocytosis. Results also showed higher cytotoxicity and apoptotic effects of DOX + galangin-loaded NLC-RGD in comparison to DOX + galangin. Gene expression analysis demonstrated that galangin-loaded NLC-RGD downregulates ABCB1, ABCC1, and ABCC2 more efficiently than galangin. These findings indicated that delivery of galangin by NLC-RGD makes it an effective adjuvant to increase the efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents in cancer treatment.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate synthesis and structural characteristics of the chitosan (CS) - modified dialdehyde guar gum (DAGG) hydrogel through the Schiff base reaction. The highest swelling capacity was achieved as about 12,000% of dry weight of the freeze-dried powder at CS: DAGG hydrogel with the mixing ratio of 30:70. The swelling ratio was not affected by changes in pH, which could be considered as an important property in the control of moisture in absorbent pad. The FTIR results indicated that the new amide groups have been formed at 1680 cm-1, which can be attributed to the covalent bond between the amide groups of CS and the aldehyde groups of GG. Based on a SEM image, the prepared hydrogel showed the porous structure so it verified the crosslinking formation between the two polymers. Rheological analyses confirmed that formation compact and porous structure led to some noteworthy improvements in the strength of hydrogel prepared with a high ratio of DAGG. The hydrogel loaded with 5% pomegranate peel extract (PPE) showed both good antioxidant (81.13%) and antimicrobial activities. The hydrogel was observed to have a good potential to be used as an antibacterial pad.
