Abstract
Development of nanomedicines that can collaboratively scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inhibit inflammatory cytokines, along with osteogenesis promotion, is essential for efficient osteoarthritis (OA) treatment. Herein, we report the design of a ROS-responsive nanomedicine formulation based on fibronectin (FN)-coated polymer nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with azabisdimethylphoaphonate-terminated phosphorus dendrimers (G4-TBP). The constructed G4-TBP NPs-FN with a size of 268 nm are stable under physiological conditions, can be specifically taken up by macrophages through the FN-mediated targeting, and can be dissociated in the oxidative inflammatory microenvironment. The G4-TBP NPs-FN loaded with G4-TBP dendrimer having intrinsic anti-inflammatory property and FN having both anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties display integrated functions of ROS scavenging, hypoxia attenuation, and macrophage M2 polarization, thus protecting macrophages from apoptosis and creating designed bone immune microenvironment for stem cell osteogenic differentiation. These characteristics of the G4-TBP NPs-FN lead to their effective treatment of an OA model in vivo to reduce pathological changes of joints including synovitis inhibition and cartilage matrix degradation and simultaneously promote osteogenic differentiation for bone repair. The developed nanomedicine formulation combining the advantages of both bioactive phosphorus dendrimers and FN to treat OA may be developed for immunomodulatory therapy of different inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Developing effective nanomedicines to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) for efficient glioma theranostics is still considered to be a challenging task. Here, we describe the development of macrophage membrane (MM)-coated nanoclusters (NCs) of ultrasmall iron oxide nanoparticles (USIO NPs) with dual pH- and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsivenesses for magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and chemotherapy/chemodynamic therapy (CDT) of orthotopic glioma. Surface citrate-stabilized USIO NPs were solvothermally synthesized, sequentially modified with ethylenediamine and phenylboronic acid, and cross-linked with gossypol to form gossypol-USIO NCs (G-USIO NCs), which were further coated with MMs. The prepared MM-coated G-USIO NCs (G-USIO@MM NCs) with a mean size of 99.9 nm display tumor microenvironment (TME)-responsive gossypol and Fe release to promote intracellular ROS production and glutathione consumption. With the MM-mediated BBB crossing and glioma targeting, the G-USIO@MM NCs can specifically inhibit orthotopic glioma in vivo through the gossypol-mediated chemotherapy and Fe-mediated CDT. Meanwhile, USIO NPs can be dissociated from the NCs under the TME, thus allowing for effective T1-weighted glioma MR imaging. The developed G-USIO@MM NCs with simple components and drug as a crosslinker are promising for glioma theranostics, and may be extended to tackle other cancer types.

Abstract
Fully mobilizing the activities of multiple immune cells is crucial to achieve the desired tumor immunotherapeutic efficacy yet still remains challenging. Herein, we report a nanomedicine formulation based on phosphorus dendrimer (termed AK128)/programmed cell death protein 1 antibody (aPD1) nanocomplexes (NCs) that are camouflaged with M1-type macrophage cell membranes (M1m) for enhanced immunotherapy of orthotopic glioma. The constructed AK128-aPD1@M1m NCs with a mean particle size of 160.3 nm possess good stability and cytocompatibility. By virtue of the decorated M1m having α4 and β1 integrins, the NCs are able to penetrate the blood-brain barrier to codeliver both AK128 with intrinsic immunomodulatory activity and aPD1 to the orthotopic glioma with prolonged blood circulation time. We show that the phosphorus dendrimer AK128 can boost natural killer (NK) cell proliferation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, while the delivered aPD1 enables immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) to restore the cytotoxic T cells and NK cells, thus promoting tumor cell apoptosis and simultaneously decreasing the tumor distribution of regulatory T cells vastly for improved glioma immunotherapy. The developed nanomedicine formulation with a simple composition achieves multiple modulations of immune cells by utilizing the immunomodulatory activity of nanocarrier and antibody-mediated ICB therapy, providing an effective strategy for cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Herein, we isolated five natural alkaloids, iso-corydine (iso-CORY), corydine (CORY), sanguinarine (SAN), chelerythrine (CHE) and magnoflorine (MAG), from traditional medicinal herb Dicranostigma leptopodum (Maxim.) Fedde (whole herb) and elucidated their structures. Then we synthesised G5. NHAc-PBA as targeting dendrimer platform to encapsulate the alkaloids into G5. NHAc-PBA-alkaloid complexes, which demonstrated alkaloid-dependent positive zeta potential and hydrodynamic particle size. G5. NHAc-PBA-alkaloid complexes demonstrated obvious breast cancer MCF-7 cell targeting effect. Among the G5. NHAc-PBA-alkaloid complexes, G5.NHAc-PBA-CHE (IC50=13.66 μM) demonstrated the highest MCF-7 cell inhibition capability and G5.NHAc-PBA-MAG (IC50=24.63 μM) had equivalent inhibitory effects on cell proliferation that comparable to the level of free MAG (IC50=23.74 μM), which made them the potential breast cancer targeting formulation for chemotherapeutic application. This work successfully demonstrated a pharmaceutical research model of 'natural bioactive product isolation-drug formulation preparation-breast cancer cell targeting inhibition'.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the value of the crossover sign (COS) in predicting treatment outcome in women with a Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) who were treated with ultrasound-guided vacuum aspiration. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of women with CSP who underwent ultrasound-guided vacuum aspiration. Based on the relationship between the gestational sac, Cesarean scar and anterior wall of the uterus, CSPs were classified by COS type. Analysis was conducted to investigate the association between COS type (COS-1, COS-2) and treatment outcome. The incidence of treatment failure, retained pregnancy tissue, secondary therapy and bleeding ≥ 200 mL were analyzed. RESULTS In total, 181 eligible patients with CSP, including 90 (49.7%) women with COS-1 and 91 (50.3%) women with COS-2, were analyzed. COS-1 patients had a higher incidence of treatment failure compared with COS-2 patients (25.6% vs 8.8%; P = 0.003), as well as higher rates of retained pregnancy tissue (18.9% vs 6.6%; P = 0.013), secondary therapy (20.0% vs 6.6%; P = 0.002) and bleeding of ≥ 200 mL (13.3% vs 4.4%; P = 0.034). COS-1 and a large gestational sac (30.1-50.0 mm or >50.0 mm in diameter) were associated independently with increased risk of treatment failure (odds ratio, 4.57 (95% CI, 1.66-12.56); P = 0.003, 4.34 (95% CI, 1.35-13.94); P = 0.014 and 10.50 (95% CI, 2.54-43.46); P = 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Ultrasound evaluation of the relationship between the gestational sac and the endometrial line (COS classification) in women with CSP may help to predict treatment outcome among those undergoing vacuum aspiration. Among COS-1 patients, especially those with a gestational sac diameter of >30.0 mm, vacuum aspiration may be discouraged. © 2023 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Abstract
Glioma, as a disease of the central nervous system, is difficult to be treated due to the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) that can severely hamper the efficacy of most therapeutic agents. Hence, drug delivery to glioma in an efficient, safe, and specifically targeted manner is the key to effective treatment of glioma. With the advances in nanotechnology, targeted drug delivery systems have been extensively explored to deliver chemotherapeutic agents, nucleic acids, and contrast agents. Among these nanocarriers, dendrimers have played a significant role since they possess highly branched structures, and are easy to be decorated, thus offering numerous binding sites for various drugs and ligands. Dendrimers can be designed to cross the BBB for glioma targeting, therapy or theranostics. In this review, we provide a concise overview of dendrimer-based carrier designs including dendrimer surface modification with hydroxyl termini, peptides, and transferrin etc. for glioma imaging diagnostics, chemotherapy, gene therapy, or imaging-guided therapy. Finally, the future perspectives of dendrimer-based glioma theraputics are also briefly discussed.

Abstract
The application of nanotechnology in biological and medical fields have resulted in the creation of new devices, supramolecular systems, structures, complexes, and composites. Dendrimers are relatively new nanotechnological polymers with unique features; they are globular in shape, with a topological structure formed by monomeric subunit branches diverging to the sides from the central nucleus. This review analyzes the main features of dendrimers and their applications in biology and medicine regarding cancer treatment. Dendrimers have applications that include drug and gene carriers, antioxidant agents, imaging agents, and adjuvants, but importantly, dendrimers can create complex nanosized constructions that combine features such as drug/gene carriers and imaging agents. Dendrimer-based nanosystems include different metals that enhance oxidative stress, polyethylene glycol to provide biosafety, an imaging agent (a fluorescent, radioactive, magnetic resonance imaging probe), a drug or/and nucleic acid that provides a single or dual action on cells or tissues. One of major benefit of dendrimers is their easy release from the body (in contrast to metal nanoparticles, fullerenes, and carbon nanotubes), allowing the creation of biosafe constructions.

Abstract
The development of nonviral dendritic polymers with a simple molecular backbone and great gene delivery efficiency to effectively tackle cancer remains a great challenge. Phosphorus dendrimers or dendrons are promising vectors due to their structural uniformity, rigid molecular backbones, and tunable surface functionalities. Here, we report the development of a new low-generation unsymmetrical cationic phosphorus dendrimer bearing 5 pyrrolidinium groups and one amino group as a nonviral gene delivery vector. The created AB5-type dendrimers with simple molecular backbone can compress microRNA-30d (miR-30d) to form polyplexes with desired hydrodynamic sizes and surface potentials and can effectively transfect miR-30d to cancer cells to suppress the glycolysis-associated SLC2A1 and HK1 expression, thus significantly inhibiting the migration and invasion of a murine breast cancer cell line in vitro and the corresponding subcutaneous tumor mouse model in vivo. Such unsymmetrical low-generation phosphorus dendrimers may be extended to deliver other genetic materials to tackle other diseases.

Abstract
1. The bioflavonoid quercetin is a biologically active component, but its functional regulation of granulosa cells (GCs) during chicken follicular development is little studied. To investigate the effect of quercetin on follicular development in laying hens, an in vitro study was conducted on granulosa cells from hierarchical follicles treated with quercetin.2. The effect of quercetin on cell activity, proliferation and apoptosis of granulosa cells was detected by CCK-8, EdU and apoptosis assays. The effect on progesterone secretion from granulosa cells was investigated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) mRNA and oestrogen receptors (ERs), as well as the expression of steroid acute regulatory protein (StAR), cytochrome P450 cholesterol side chain cleavage enzyme (P450scc) and 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD) mRNA during progesterone synthesis, were measured by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). PCNA, StAR and CYP11A1 protein expression levels were detected using Western blotting (WB).3. The results showed that treatment with quercetin in granulosa cells significantly enhanced cell vitality and proliferation, reduced apoptosis and promoted the expression of gene and protein levels of PCNA. The levels of progesterone secretion increased significantly following quercetin treatment, as did the expression levels of StAR and CYP11A1 using the Western Blot (WB) method.4. The mRNA expression levels of ERα were significantly upregulated in the 100 ng/ml and 1000 ng/ml quercetin-treated groups, while there was no significant difference in expression levels of ERβ mRNA.

Abstract
Nanocarrier-based cytoplasmic protein delivery offers opportunities to develop protein therapeutics; however, many delivery systems are positively charged, causing severe toxic effects. For enhanced therapeutics, it is also of great importance to design nanocarriers with intrinsic bioactivity that can be integrated with protein drugs due to the limited bioactivity of proteins alone for disease treatment. We report here a protein delivery system based on anionic phosphite-terminated phosphorus dendrimers with intrinsic anti-inflammatory activity. A phosphorus dendrimer termed AK-137 with optimized anti-inflammatory activity was selected to complex proteins through various physical interactions. Model proteins such as bovine serum albumin, ribonuclease A, ovalbumin, and fibronectin (FN) can be transfected into cells to exert their respective functions, including cancer cell apoptosis, dendritic cell maturation, or macrophage immunomodulation. Particularly, the constructed AK-137@FN nanocomplexes display powerful therapeutic effects in acute lung injury and acute gout arthritis models by integrating the anti-inflammatory activity of both the carrier and protein. The developed anionic phosphite-terminated phosphorus dendrimers may be employed as a universal carrier for protein delivery and particularly utilized to deliver proteins and fight different inflammatory diseases with enhanced therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
AIM To explore whether small airway disease and emphysema were affected by the interaction between smoking and aging on chest computed tomography (CT) images of asymptomatic healthy men analysed using a quantitative imaging tool parametric response mapping (PRM). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective study, 95 asymptomatic healthy men underwent biphasic chest CT. The PRM classifies lung as a percentage of normal (PRMNormal%), functional small airway disease (PRMfSAD%), and emphysema (PRMEmph%). The patients were divided into groups based on their age and smoking status. Multiple linear regression analysis was applied to explore the factors influencing lung injury. Simple effects analysis was performed to explore the interaction between different age groups and smoking status. RESULTS The interaction between aging and smoking significantly affected PRMfSAD% and PRMEmph% (p<0.001). The age range 60-69 and smoking were associated with increased PRMfSAD% and PRMEmph% (p<0.05). Futher stratification into different age subgroups showed that smoking was associated with increased PRMfSAD% and PRMEmph% in the 50-59 year age group. Besides, smoking in the 50-59 and 60-69 years group was associated with decreased PRMNormal%, while smoking in the 60-69 years group did not significantly influence the prevalence of PRMfSAD% and PRMEmph% (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS PRM reveals the interplay between smoking and aging in the development of lung injury in asymptomatic healthy men. Aging and smoking are important factors of emphysema and small airway disease in the 50-69 years group. In the 60-69 years group, aging poses a greater risk of lung injury compared to smoking.

Abstract
Development of a nanoscale drug delivery system that can simultaneously exert efficient tumor therapeutic efficacy while creating the desired antitumor immune responses is still challenging. Herein, we report the use of a manganese dioxide (MnO2)-entrapping dendrimer nanocarrier to codeliver glucose oxidase (GOx) and cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), an agonist of the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) for improved tumor chemodynamic/starvation/immune therapy. Methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG)- and phenylboronic acid (PBA)-modified generation 5 (G5) poly(amidoamine) dendrimers were first synthesized and then entrapped with MnO2 nanoparticles (NPs) to generate the hybrid MnO2@G5-mPEG-PBA (MGPP) NPs. The created MGPP NPs with an MnO2 core size of 2.8 nm display efficient glutathione depletion ability, and a favorable Mn2+ release profile under a tumor microenvironment mimetic condition to enable Fenton-like reaction and T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. We show that the MGPP-mediated GOx delivery facilitates enhanced chemodynamic/starvation therapy of cancer cells in vitro, and further codelivery of cGAMP can effectively trigger immunogenic cell death (ICD) to strongly promote the maturation of dendritic cells. In a bilateral mouse colorectal tumor model, the dendrimer delivery nanosystem elicits a potent antitumor performance with a strong abscopal effect, greatly improving the overall mouse survival rate. Importantly, the dendrimer-mediated codelivery not only allows the coordination of Mn2+ with GOx and cGAMP for respective chemodynamic/starvation-triggered ICD and augmented STING activation to boost systemic antitumor immune responses, but also enables T1-weighted tumor MR imaging, potentially serving as a promising nanoplatform for enhanced antitumor therapy with desired immune responses.

Abstract
Nanoplatforms with amplified passive tumor targeting and enhanced protein resistance can evade unnecessary uptake by the reticuloendothelial system and achieve high tumor retention for accurate tumor theranostics. To achieve this goal, we here constructed phosphorus core-shell tecto dendrimers (CSTDs) with a rigid aromatic backbone core as a nanoplatform for enhanced fluorescence and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) dual-mode imaging of tumors. In this study, the phosphorus P-G2.5/G3 CSTDs (G denotes generation) were partially conjugated with tetraazacyclododecane tetraacetic acid (DOTA), cyanine5.5 (Cy5.5) and 1,3-propane sulfonate (1,3-PS) and then labeled with 99mTc. The formed P-G2.5/G3-DOTA-Cy5.5-PS CSTDs possess good monodispersity with a particle size of 10.1 nm and desired protein resistance and cytocompatibility. Strikingly, compared to the counterpart material G3/G3-DOTA-Cy5.5-PS with both the core and shell components being soft poly(amidoamine) dendrimers, the developed P-G2.5/G3-DOTA-Cy5.5-PS complexes allow for more efficient cellular uptake and more significant penetration in 3-dimensional tumor spheroids in vitro, as well as more significant tumor retention and accumulation for enhanced dual-mode fluorescence and SPECT (after labelling with 99mTc) tumor imaging in vivo. Our studies suggest that the rigidity of the core for the constructed CSTDs matters in the amplification of the tumor enhanced permeability retention (EPR) effect for improved cancer nanomedicine development.

Abstract
Recently, several immunotherapeutic strategies are extensively studied and entered clinical investigation, suggesting their potential to lead a new generation of cancer therapy. Particularly, a cancer vaccine that combines tumor-associated antigens and immune adjuvants with a nanocarrier holds huge promise for inducing specific antitumor immune responses. Hyperbranched polymers, such as dendrimers and branched polyethylenimine (PEI) possessing abundant positively charged amine groups and inherent proton sponge effect are ideal carriers of antigens. Much effort is devoted to design dendrimer/branched PEI-based cancer vaccines. Herein, the recent advances in the design of dendrimer/branched PEI-based cancer vaccines for immunotherapy are reviewed. The future perspectives with regard to the development of dendrimer/branched PEI-based cancer vaccines are also briefly discussed.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Xerostomia, caused by radiation-induced parotid damage, is the most commonly reported complications of radiotherapy (RT) to nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). This study aimed to evaluate the value of IVIM MR in monitoring radiation parotid gland damage and predicting the risk of xerostomia. MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 54 patients were enrolled and underwent IVIM MR scans at before RT, after the fifth fraction, halfway through the course of RT, and at the end of radiotherapy. The parameters of IVIM MR include pseudo-diffusion coefficient (D*), perfusion fraction (f), and pure diffusion coefficient (D). The degree of xerostomia in NPC patients was assessed before each MR examination using the acute radiation morbidity scoring criteria proposed by the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG). Concurrently, the time when the patient first reported suffering from xerostomia was recorded. The IVIM parameters trend throughout the RT, and the relationships between IVIM parameters and xerostomia, were analyzed. RESULTS All of the IVIM parameters increased from pre-RT to post-RT significantly (all p < 0.001). The increase rate of D from pre-RT to halfway through the RT was 32.61%, which was significantly higher than 15.64% from halfway to post-RT (p<0.001), indicating that cell necrosis in the first half of treatment is significantly higher than that in the second half. Both D* and F had significantly increased from pre-RT to halfway through the radiotherapy (p<0.001), with an increase rate of 19.58% and 29.38%, respectively. However, no significant increase was observed from Halfway to post-RT (p>0.05), with an increase rate of 4.10% and 8.30%, respectively. This may be due to radiation-induced vasculitic dilation that is significant in the first half of the radiotherapy but plateaus in the second half. Pre-D (OR = 23.85; 95% CI = 2.39, 237.82; p = .007) and pre-D* (OR = 0.75; 95% CI = 0.63, 0.91; p = 0.003) are independent influencing factors for xerostomia at 3 months after the completion of RT. D and F were significantly higher after the fifth fraction compared with Pre-RT (both p<0.05), respectively increased 31.25% and 25.16%. D* increase by 15% (p = 0.081). IVIM scans can assess parotid gland damage early. And the average time of parotid damage underwent IVIM scan was 5.99 ± 0.84 (day), much earlier than 11.84 ± 2.74 (day) according to RTOG. CONCLUSION Our study indicates that IVIM MR can dynamically monitor radiotherapy-induced parotid gland damage, and much earlier and objectively than RTOG.

Abstract
Developing a multifunctional nanoplatform to achieve efficient theranostics of tumors through multi-pronged strategies remains to be challenging. Here, the design of the intelligent redox-responsive generation 3 (G3) poly(amidoamine) dendrimer nanogels (NGs) loaded with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) and chemotherapeutic drug toyocamycin (Au/Toy@G3 NGs) for ultrasound-enhanced cancer theranostics is showcased. The constructed hybrid NGs with a size of 193 nm possess good colloidal stability under physiological conditions, and can be dissociated to release Au NPs and Toy in the reductive glutathione-rich tumor microenvironment (TME). The released Toy can promote the apoptosis of cancer cells through endoplasmic reticulum stress amplification and cause immunogenic cell death to maturate dendritic cells. The loaded Au NPs can induce the conversion of tumor-associated macrophages from M2-type to antitumor M1-type to remodulate the immunosuppressive TME. Combined with antibody-mediated immune checkpoint blockade, effective chemoimmunotherapy of a pancreatic tumor mouse model can be realized, and the chemoimmunotherapy effect can be further ultrasound enhanced due to the sonoporation-improved tumor permeability of NGs. The developed Au/Toy@G3 NGs also enable Au-mediated computed tomography imaging of tumors. The constructed responsive dendrimeric NGs tackle tumors through a multi-pronged chemoimmunotherapy strategy targeting both cancer cells and immune cells, which hold a promising potential for clinical translations.

Abstract
Development of nanomedicines to overcome the hindrances of tumor microenvironment (TME) for tumor theranostics with alleviated side effects remains challenging. We report here a microfluidic synthesis of artesunate (ART)-loaded polydopamine (PDA)/iron (Fe) nanocomplexes (NCs) coated with fibronectin (FN). The created multifunctional Fe-PDA@ART/FN NCs (FDRF NCs) with a mean size of 161.0 nm exhibit desired colloidal stability, monodispersity, r1 relaxivity (4.96 mM-1s-1), and biocompatibility. The co-delivery of the Fe2+ and ART enables enhanced chemodynamic therapy (CDT) through improved intracellular reactive oxygen species generation via a cycling reaction between Fe3+ and Fe2+ caused by the Fe3+-mediated glutathione oxidation and Fe2+-mediated ART reduction/Fenton reaction for self-supplementing TME regulation. Likewise, the combination of ART-mediated chemotherapy and the Fe2+/ART-regulated enhanced CDT enables noticeable immunogenic cell death, which can be collaborated with antibody-mediated immune checkpoint blockade to exert immunotherapy having significant antitumor immunity. The combined therapy improves the efficacy of primary tumor therapy and tumor metastasis inhibition by virtue of FN-mediated specific targeting of FDRF NCs to tumors with highly expressed αvβ3 integrin and can be guided through the Fe(III)-rendered magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The developed FDRF NCs may be regarded as an advanced nanomedicine formulation for chemo-chemodynamic-immune therapy of different tumor types under MR imaging guidance.

Abstract
It remains an extreme challenge to develop multifunctional drug delivery systems with tumor specificity and a tumor microenvironment (TME) remodeling ability for achieving improved chemotherapy against malignant tumors. Herein, we report the design of diselenide-crosslinked poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (PVCL) nanogels (NGs) co-loaded with gold (Au) nanoparticles (NPs) and methotrexate (MTX) as a multifunctional nanoplatform (for short, MTX/Au@PVCL NGs) for improved chemotherapy and computed tomography (CT) imaging of tumors. The designed MTX/Au@PVCL NGs show excellent colloidal stability under physiological conditions, while dissociating rapidly to release the incorporated Au NPs and MTX in the H2O2-abundant and slightly acidic TME. The responsive release of Au NPs and MTX effectively induces the apoptosis of cancer cells and prevents DNA replication, together contributing to the repolarization of macrophages from protumor M2-like to antitumor M1-like phenotype in vitro. The MTX/Au@PVCL NGs also enable the remodeling of tumor-associated macrophages to the M1-like phenotype in vivo in a subcutaneous mouse melanoma model, which increases the recruitment of effector T lymphocytes and reduces the content of immunosuppressive regulatory T cells to achieve synergistically enhanced antitumor efficacy when combined with MTX-mediated chemotherapy. Moreover, the MTX/Au@PVCL NGs can be used for Au-mediated CT imaging of tumors. The thus developed NG platform shows great promise as an updated nanomedicine formulation for immune modulation-enhanced tumor chemotherapy under the guidance of CT imaging.

Abstract
Development of effective nanomedicines to deal with tumor immunogenicity and immunosuppression is vital to improve the immunotherapy efficacy. Herein, we developed a programmed strategy not only to activate the tumoral immune microenvironment through immunogenic cell death (ICD) effect but also to promote the maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) in lymph nodes through two modules of core-shell tecto dendrimer (CSTD)-based nanomedicines. The CSTDs with amplified tumor enhanced permeability and retention effect and improved gene delivery efficiency were formed by supramolecular self-assembly of generation 5 (G5) poly(amidoamine) dendrimers as cores and G3 dendrimers as shells. One module was employed to load doxorubicin for cancer cell chemotherapy to generate ICD, while the other module with partial surface modification of zwitterions and mannose was used for serum-enhanced YTHDF1 siRNA delivery to DCs to stimulate their maturation. These two modular CSTD-based nanomedicine formulations enable enhanced chemoimmunotherapy of an orthotopic breast tumor model through programmed treatment of cancer cells and DCs, and synergistic modulation of the maturation of DCs to activate the CD8+/CD4+ T cells for tumor killing. The developed CSTD-enabled nanomodules with improved drug/gene delivery performance may be applicable to tackle other cancer types via collaborative chemoimmunotherapy.

Abstract
Design of multifunctional nanoplatforms combined with ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) technology for enhanced tumor accumulation is feasible to solve the bottleneck of theranostics. Herein, we present the development of zwitterion-modified gadolinium (Gd)-chelated core-shell tecto dendrimers (CSTDs) as a nanomedicine platform (PCSTD-Gd) for enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-guided chemo-gene therapy of orthotopic breast cancer with the assistance of UTMD. In our design, CSTDs synthesized via supramolecular recognition of β-cyclodextrin and adamantane were covalently linked with tetraazacyclododecane tetraacetic acid-Gd(III) chelators, modified with 1,3-propane sultone to achieve good protein-resistance property, and used for co-delivery of an microRNA 21 inhibitor (miR 21i) and an anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX). The overall design is quite advantageous and cooperative. The CSTDs with a greater size than single-generation core dendrimers have amplified the enhanced permeability and retention effect for better passive tumor targeting, with a larger r1 relaxivity for sensitive MR imaging and serum-enhanced gene delivery efficiency due to the better compaction ability as well as the protein resistance ability, and with larger interior space for improved drug loading. Through the unique design and the assistance of UTMD, the obtained PCSTD-Gd/DOX/miR 21i polyplexes enable enhanced MR imaging-guided combined chemo-gene therapy of an orthotopic breast cancer model in vivo.

METHODS Clinical data and tissue samples of 90 patients with rectal cancer admitted to our hospital from January 2020 to June 2022 were collected from the prospective clinical database and biological specimen database. The expression level of HSDL2 in rectal cancer and adjacent tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry, and based on the median level of HSDL2 expression, the patients were divided into high expression group (n=45) and low expression group (n=45) for analysis the correlation between HSDL2 expression level and the clinicopathological parameters. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses were performed to explore the role of HSDL2 in rectal cancer progression. The effects of changes in HSDL2 expression levels on rectal cancer cell proliferation, cell cycle and protein expressions were investigated in SW480 cells with lentivirus-mediated HSDL2 silencing or HSDL2 overexpression using CCK-8 assay, flow cytometry and Western blotting. RESULTS The expressions of HSDL2 and Ki67 were significantly higher in rectal cancer tissues than in the adjacent tissues (P < 0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that the expression of HSDL2 protein was positively correlated with Ki67, CEA and CA19-9 expressions (P < 0.01). The rectal cancer patients with high HSDL2 expressions had significantly higher likelihood of having CEA ≥5 μg/L, CA19-9 ≥37 kU/L, T3-4 stage, and N2-3 stage than those with a low HSDL2 expression (P < 0.05). GO and KEGG analysis showed that HSDL2 was mainly enriched in DNA replication and cell cycle. In SW480 cells, HSDL2 overexpression significantly promoted cell proliferation, increased cell percentage in S phase, and enhanced the expression levels of CDK6 and cyclinD1 (P < 0.05), and HSDL2 silencing produced the opposite effects (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The high expression of HSDL2 in rectal cancer participates in malignant progression of the tumor by promoting the proliferation and cell cycle progress of the cancer cells.

Abstract
Tumor vaccine that can effectively activate or strengthen the body's antitumor immune response to kill and eliminate tumor cells has attracted widespread attention. Currently developed tumor vaccines have severe shortcomings such as low bioavailability and lack of dual or multiple functions, resulting in poor antitumor efficacy. Herein, we report the development of an advanced nanosystem integrated with phenylboronic acid (PBA)-functionalized poly(amidoamine) dendrimers of generation 5 (G5), copper sulfide nanoparticles, and cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), an immune adjuvant (for short, G5-PBA@CuS/cGAMP) to act as a photothermal-triggered nanovaccine. We show that the prepared functional nanosystem possesses an average CuS core size of 3.6 nm, prominent near-infrared absorption feature to have an excellent photothermal conversion efficiency of 44.0%, and good protein adsorption characteristics due to the PBA modification. With these features, the developed nanosystem can be adopted for photothermal therapy of primary melanoma tumors and simultaneously absorb the whole tumor cell antigens, thus creating photothermal-triggered dendrimeric nanovaccine of G5-PBA@CuS/cGAMP/antigen in situ to induce antitumor immune response to inhibit the distal tumors as well. Meanwhile, melanoma cells treated with the G5-PBA@CuS in vitro under laser irradiation allowed the creation of G5-PBA@CuS/antigen complexes that could be further integrated with cGAMP to form preformed nanovaccine for effective primary tumor inhibition and tumor occurrence prevention. The designed photothermal-triggered dendrimeric nanovaccine may represent an advanced nanomedicine formulation to effectively inhibit the growth of primary and distal tumors, and prevent tumor occurrence through the stimulated systemic antitumor immunity.

Abstract
The development of efficient nanomedicines to repress the repolarization of M1 phenotype macrophages and therefore inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokine overexpression for anti-inflammatory therapy is still a challenging task. We report here an original gene delivery nanoplatform based on pyrrolidinium-modified amphiphilic generation 1 phosphorus dendron (C12G1) nanomicelles with a rigid phosphorous dendron structure. The nanomicelles display higher gene delivery efficiency than the counterpart materials of pyrrolidinium-modified G1 phosphorus dendrimers, and meanwhile exhibit excellent cytocompatibility. The C12G1 nanomicelles can be employed to co-deliver the miRNA-146a mimic (miR-146a mimic) and miRNA-429 inhibitor (miR-429i) to inhibit the Toll-like receptor-4 signaling pathway and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway, respectively, thus causing repression of M1 phenotype alveolar macrophage polarization. The developed C12G1/miR-mixture polyplexes enable efficient therapy of lipopolysaccharide-activated alveolar macrophages in vitro and an acute lung injury mouse model in vivo. The generated cationic phosphorus dendron nanomicelles may hold promising potential for anti-inflammatory gene therapy of other inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
The development of nanoprobes that have amplified enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect is crucial for their precise cancer diagnosis performance. Here, we present the development of functional dendrimer-based nanogels (DNGs) with the generation three primary amine-terminated poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers (G3·NH2) cross-linked by N,N'-bis(acryloyl) cystamine (BAC). The DNGs were prepared through a Michael addition reaction between G3·NH2 dendrimers and BAC via an inverse microemulsion method and entrapped with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) to form Au-DNGs. The Au-DNGs were sequentially modified with diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid (DTPA)-gadolinium (Gd) complex, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-linked arginine-glycine-aspartic (RGD) peptide, and 1,3-propanesultone (1,3-PS). The formed multifunctional RGD-Gd@Au-DNGs-PS (R-G@ADP) possessing an average diameter of 122 nm are colloidally stable and display a high X-ray attenuation coefficient, excellent r1 relaxivity (9.13 mM-1 s-1), desired protein resistance rendered by the zwitterionic modification, and cytocompatibility. With the targeting specificity mediated by RGD and the much better tumor penetration capability than the counterpart material of single dendrimer-entrapped Au NPs, the developed multifunctional R-G@ADP enable targeted and enhanced computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance (MR) dual-modal imaging of a pancreatic tumor model in vivo. The current work demonstrates a unique design of targeted and zwitterionic DNGs with prolonged blood circulation time as an emerging nanoprobe for specific tumor CT/MR imaging through amplified passive EPR effect.

Abstract
Fibronectin (FN) is an essential glycoprotein in the extracellular matrix with favorable biological functions for potential applications in various biomedical fields including wound healing, regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, as well as diagnosis and treatment of cancer and inflammatory diseases. Herein, we aim to explore the influence of intracellular FN delivery on macrophage functions and its possible therapeutic applications. We prepared phenylboronic acid (PBA)-functionalized generation 5 (G5) poly(amidoamine) dendrimers (G5.NH2-PBA) as a nanocarrier to load FN, and reveal that the obtained dendrimers enable efficient intracellular delivery of FN at an optimized dendrimer-to-FN weight ratio of 8, which guides macrophages toward anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype polarization. Studies on action mechanisms show that the dendrimer-mediated FN intracellular delivery acts strongly on suppressing the nuclear factor-κB pathway, leading to reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion and enhanced reactive oxygen species depletion in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated macrophages. Further investigation in vivo using an LPS-induced mouse model of acute lung injury (ALI) shows that the dendrimer-mediated FN delivery can effectively alleviate the ALI symptoms through alleviation of lung inflammation and oxidation stress. Our work suggests a general approach to using dendrimers for mediating intracellular delivery of FN, thereby offering many opportunities to explore the biological functions of FN for different therapeutic applications toward inflammation-associated diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Frailty is a pervasive condition among older people worldwide. Despite the association between higher protein intake and lower frailty risk has been well documented, older individuals encounter barriers to enhancing their protein consumption due to reduced appetite and impaired digestive capacity. This study aims to delve into the potential correlation between dietary protein diversity, protein patterns, and the risk of frailty among older Chinese individuals. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING Community-based. PARTICIPANTS 2,216 participants aged 65 and above and not frail at the baseline were recruited from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) dataset spanning from 2014 to 2018. MEASUREMENTS Dietary protein diversity was evaluated utilizing a protein diversity score (PDS), calculated based on the results of a food frequency questionnaire. Dietary protein patterns were identified by employing principal component analysis (PCA). Frailty was ascertained using a 40-item frailty index (FI) where FI > 0.21 indicated frailty. Logistic analysis was employed to investigate the association between dietary variables and frailty. RESULTS 541 participants were identified as frail after a 4-year follow-up. After adjusting for confounders, each 1-unit increase in PDS was linked to a 10% decrease in frailty risk. Compared to individuals with PDS ≤ 1, those with PDS scores of 2-3, 4-5, and 6 had lower risks of frailty, with OR (95% CI) of 0.78 (0.58-1.06), 0.58 (0.38-0.87), 0.42 (0.20-0.81), respectively (P trend = 0.038). Individuals who consistently maintained high PDS demonstrated a lower frailty risk in contrast to those who maintained low PDS (OR = 0.60, 95% CI, 0.41-0.87). Additionally, the "meat-fish" pattern exhibited a protective association with frailty, with OR Q4 versus Q1 (95% CI) of 0.54 (0.40-0.74), P trend < 0.001. CONCLUSION Maintaining a variety of dietary protein sources and following a "meat-fish" protein pattern might decrease the likelihood of frailty among the older Chinese population.

Abstract
Construction of multifunctional nanoplatforms to elevate chemotherapeutic efficacy and induce long-term antitumor immunity still remains to be an extreme challenge. Herein, the design of an advanced redox-responsive nanomedicine formulation based on phosphorus dendrimer-copper(II) complexes (1G3 -Cu)- and toyocamycin (Toy)-loaded polymeric nanoparticles (GCT NPs) coated with cancer cell membranes (CM) are reported. The designed GCT@CM NPs with a size of 210 nm are stable under physiological conditions but are rapidly dissociated in the reductive tumor microenvironment to deplete glutathione and release drugs. The co-loading of 1G3 -Cu and Toy within the NPs causes significant tumor cell apoptosis and immunogenic cell death through 1G3 -Cu-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and Toy-mediated amplification of endoplasmic reticulum stress, respectively, thus effectively suppressing tumor growth, promoting dendritic cell maturation, and increasing tumor-infiltrating cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Likewise, the coated CM and the loaded 1G3 -Cu render the GCT@CM NPs with homotypic targeting and T1 -weighted magnetic resonance imaging of tumors, respectively. With the assistance of programmed cell death ligand 1 antibody, the GCT@CM NP-mediated chemotherapy can significantly potentiate tumor immunotherapy for effective inhibition of tumor recurrence and metastasis. The developed GCT@CM NPs hold a great potential for chemotherapy-potentiated immunotherapy of different tumor types through different mechanisms or synergies.

Abstract
Genetically engineered T cells are a powerful new modality for cancer immunotherapy. However, their clinical application for solid tumors is challenging, and crucial knowledge on cell functionality in vivo is lacking. Here, we fabricated a nanoprobe composed of dendrimers incorporating a calcium sensor and gold nanoparticles, for dual-modal monitoring of engineered T cells within a solid tumor. T cells engineered to express a melanoma-specific T-cell receptor and loaded with the nanoprobe were longitudinally monitored within melanoma xenografts in mice. Fluorescent imaging of the nanoprobe's calcium sensor revealed increased intra-tumoral activation of the T cells over time, up to 24 h. Computed tomography imaging of the nanoprobe's gold nanoparticles revealed the cells' intra-tumoral distribution pattern. Quantitative analysis revealed the intra-tumoral T cell quantities. Thus, this nanoprobe reveals intra-tumoral persistence, penetration and functional status of genetically engineered T cells, which can advance T cell-based immunotherapy and promote next-generation live cell imaging.

Abstract
The efficient isolation and specific discrimination of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is expected to provide valuable information for understanding tumor metastasis and play an important role in the treatment of cancer patients. In this study, we developed a novel and rapid method for efficient capture and specific identification of cancer cells using hyaluronic acid (HA)-modified SiO2-coated magnetic beads in a microfluidic chip. First, polyacrylamide-surfaced SiO2-coated magnetic beads (SiO2@MBs) were covalently conjugated with HA, and the created HA-modified SiO2@MBs (HA-SiO2@MBs) display binding specificity to HeLa cells (a human cervical carcinoma cell line) overexpressing CD44 receptors. After incubating the HA-SiO2@MBs with cancer cells for 1 h, the mixture of MBs and cells was drawn into a designed microfluidic channel with two inlets and outlets. Through the formation of lamellar flow, cells specifically bound with the HA-SiO2@MBs can be separated under an external magnetic field with a capture efficiency of up to 92.0%. The developed method is simple, fast, and promising for CTC separation and cancer diagnostics applications.

Abstract
Currently, cancer chemotherapeutic drugs still have the defects of high toxicity and low bioavailability, so it is critical to design novel drug release systems for cancer chemotherapy. Here, we report a method to fabricate electrospun drug-loaded organic/inorganic hybrid nanofibrous system for antitumor therapy applications. In this work, rod-like attapulgite (ATT) was utilized to load a model anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX), and mixed with poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) to form electrospun hybrid nanofibers. The ATT/DOX/PLGA composite nanofibers were characterized through various techniques. It is feasible to load DOX onto ATT surfaces, and the ATT/DOX/PLGA nanofibers show a smooth and uniform morphology with improved mechanical durability. Under neutral and acidic pH conditions, the loaded DOX was released from ATT/DOX/PLGA nanofibers in a sustained manner. In addition, the released DOX from the nanofibers could significantly inhibit the growth of tumor cells. Owing to the significantly reduced burst release profile and increased mechanical durability of the ATT/DOX/PLGA nanofibers, the designed organic–inorganic hybrid nanofibers may hold great promise as a nanoplatform to encapsulate different drugs for enhanced local tumor therapy applications.

Abstract
Effective processing and cross-priming of tumor neoantigen by dendritic cells (DCs) to T cells for spontaneous immune response generation to effectively kill cancer cells remain challenging in cancer immunotherapy. Here, we report a general approach to genetically engineer DCs through silencing their YTHDF1 protein (an important reader protein responsible for RNA m6A methylation) expression via a dendrimeric non-viral vector to boost effective tumor immunotherapy. Poly(amidoamine) dendrimers of generation 5 were partially decorated with mannose and 1,3-propanesultone and then entrapped with gold (Au) nanoparticles. The created dendrimer nanoplatform has an Au core size of 1.8 nm; possesses desired stability, good cytocompatibility, and excellent YTHDF1 siRNA compression ability; and enables targeted gene silencing of DCs overexpressing mannose receptors to upregulate the expression of CD80 and CD86, markers of DCs maturation, potentially leading to tumor antigen cross-presentation. With these properties owned, the combination of YTHDF1 silencing of DCs with programmed cell death-ligand 1 antibody can boost the best immunotherapy of a xenografted melanoma tumor model through the created antitumor immune responses. Findings in this study demonstrate a general approach of genetic engineering of DCs via a dendrimeric non-viral vector to effectively boost antitumor immunotherapy.

Abstract
Amplification of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) to realize enhanced cancer therapy has been considered to be unique in current cancer nanomedicine design. Herein, the design of metal-phenolic-network-coated dendrimer-drug conjugates as a novel theranostic nanoplatform based on ERS amplification is reported. In the design, acetylated generation-5 poly(amidoamine) dendrimers are conjugated with an ERS drug, toyocamycin (Toy), through the attached phenylboronic acid moiety, and coated with an iron (Fe)-tannic acid (TF) network. The generated nanocomplexes with a size of 50.2 nm are stable under the physiological environment, and can rapidly release Toy under the tumor microenvironment due to the pH- and reactive-oxygen-species-responsive boronic ester bonds to effectively inhibit the ERS-mediated cancer cell adaptation. Meanwhile, the coated TF network enables the nanocomplexes to generate cytotoxic hydroxyl radicals through a Fenton reaction, amplifying the ERS for improved chemo/chemodynamic therapy of cancer cells in vitro and a xenografted breast tumor model in vivo. Moreover, the coating of TF also renders the complexes with an eminent r1 relaxivity for in vivo T1 -weighted tumor magnetic resonance imaging. The created intelligent nanocomplexes may represent an advanced nanomedicine formulation uniquely integrated with a metal-phenolic network and dendrimer nanotechnology for imaging-guided cancer therapy through ERS amplification.

Abstract
The development of nanomedicine formulations to overcome the disadvantages of traditional chemotherapeutic drugs and integrate cooperative theranostic modes still remains challenging. Herein, we report the facile construction of a multifunctional theranostic nanoplatform based on doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded tannic acid (TA)-iron (Fe) networks (for short, TAF) coated with fibronectin (FN) for combination tumor chemo-/chemodynamic/immune therapy under the guidance of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. We show that the DOX-TAF@FN nanocomplexes created through in situ coordination of TA and Fe(III) and physical coating with FN have a mean particle size of 45.0 nm, are stable, and can release both DOX and Fe in a pH-dependent manner. Due to the coexistence of the TAF network and DOX, significant immunogenic cell death can be caused through enhanced ferroptosis of cancer cells via cooperative Fe-based chemodynamic therapy and DOX chemotherapy. Through further treatment with programmed cell death ligand 1 antibody for an immune checkpoint blockade, the tumor treatment efficacy and the associated immune response can be further enhanced. Meanwhile, with FN-mediated targeting, the DOX-TAF@FN platform can specifically target tumor cells with high expression of αvβ3 integrin. Finally, the TAF network also enables the DOX-TAF@FN to have an r1 relaxivity of 6.1 mM-1 s-1 for T1-weighted MR imaging of tumors. The developed DOX-TAF@FN nanocomplexes may represent an updated multifunctional nanosystem with simple compositions for cooperative MR imaging-guided targeted chemo-/chemodynamic/immune therapy of tumors.

Abstract
Recent advances in the field of nanotechnology bring an alternative approach to personalized medicine in cancer treatment. Nanogels (NGs) are among the nanosized superconstructs composed of amphiphilic or hydrophilic polymer networks. The design of different types of biodegradable polymer-based NGs in various biomedical applications has received extensive attention, due to their unique physicochemical properties such as highly porous structure, stimuli-responsiveness, and mimicking of some biological properties. In this review, we concisely surveyed the synthesis of dendrimer-based NGs synthesized via different methods including covalent conjugation, inverse nanoprecipitation, physical cross-linking, or self-assembly for various cancer nanomedicine applications, particularly for drug delivery, gene delivery, photothermal therapy, and combination therapy, as well as for biological imaging-guided chemotherapy. Additionally, we provide herein future perspective toward the new design of dendrimer-based NGs for different cancer nanomedicine uses.

Abstract
Rationale: Development of intelligent radiosensitization nanoplatforms for imaging-guided tumor radiotherapy (RT) remains challenging. We report here the construction of an intelligent nanoplatform based on poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (PVCL) nanogels (NGs) co-loaded with gold (Au) and manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanoparticles (NPs) for dual-mode computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-guided “full-process” sensitized RT of tumors. Methods: PVCL NGs were synthesized via precipitation polymerization and in situ loaded with Au and MnO2 NPs. The created PVCL-Au-MnO2 NGs were well characterized and systematically examined in their cytotoxicity, cellular uptake, intracellular oxygen and ·OH production, and cell cycle arrest in vitro, evaluated to disclose their RT sensitization effects of cancer cells and a tumor model, and assessed to validate their dual-mode CT/MR imaging potential, pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, and biosafety in vivo. Results: The formed PVCL-Au-MnO2 NGs with a size of 121.5 nm and good stability can efficiently generate reactive oxygen species through a Fenton-like reaction to result in cell cycle distribution toward highly radiosensitive G2/M phase prior to X-ray irradiation, sensitize the RT of cancer cells under X-ray through the loaded Au NPs to induce the significant DNA damage, and further prevent DNA-repairing process after RT through the continuous production of O2 catalyzed by MnO2 in the hybrid NGs to relieve the tumor hypoxia. Likewise, the in vivo tumor RT can also be guided through dual mode CT/MR imaging due to the Au NPs and Mn(II) transformed from MnO2 NPs. Conclusion: Our study suggests an intelligent PVCL-based theranostic NG platform that can achieve “full-process” sensitized tumor RT under the guidance of dual-mode CT/MR imaging.

Phosphorus dendron nanomicelles as a platform for combination anti-inflammatory and antioxidative therapy of acute lung injury. Theranostics 2022; 12:3407-3419.

Abstract
Rationale: Development of novel nanomedicines to inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokine expression and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation for anti-inflammatory therapy of acute lung injury (ALI) remains challenging. Here, we present a new nanomedicine platform based on tyramine-bearing two dimethylphosphonate sodium salt (TBP)-modified amphiphilic phosphorus dendron (C11G3) nanomicelles encapsulated with antioxidant drug curcumin (Cur). Methods: C11G3-TBP dendrons were synthesized via divergent synthesis and self-assembled to generate nanomicelles in a water environment to load hydrophobic drug Cur. The created C11G3-TBP@Cur nanomicelles were well characterized and systematically examined in their cytotoxicity, cellular uptake, intracellular ROS elimination, pro-inflammatory cytokine inhibition and alveolar macrophages M2 type repolarization in vitro, and evaluated to assay their anti-inflammatory and antioxidative therapy effects of ALI mice model through pro-inflammatory cytokine expression level in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and lung tissue, histological analysis and micro-CT imaging detection of lung tissue injury in vivo. Results: The nanomicelles with rigid phosphorous dendron structure enable high-capacity and stable Cur loading. Very strikingly, the drug-free C11G3-TBP micelles exhibit excellent cytocompatibility and intrinsic anti-inflammatory activity through inhibition of nuclear transcription factor-kappa B, thus causing repolarization of alveolar macrophages from M1 type to anti-inflammatory M2 type. Taken together with the strong ROS scavenging property of the encapsulated Cur, the developed nanomicelles enable effective therapy of inflammatory alveolar macrophages in vitro and an ALI mouse model in vivo after atomization administration. Conclusion: The created phosphorus dendron nanomicelles can be developed as a general nanomedicine platform for combination anti-inflammatory and antioxidative therapy of inflammatory diseases.
