Abstract
Tumor recurrence and wound microbial infection after tumor excision are serious threats to patients. Thus, the strategy to supply a sufficient and sustained release of cancer drugs and simultaneously engineer antibacterial properties and satisfactory mechanical strength is highly desired for tumor postsurgical treatment. Herein, A novel double-sensitive composite hydrogel embedded with tetrasulfide-bridged mesoporous silica (4S-MSNs) is developed. The incorporation of 4S-MSNs into oxidized dextran/chitosan hydrogel network, not only enhances the mechanical properties of hydrogels, but also can increase the specificity of drug with dual pH/redox sensitivity, thereby allowing more efficient and safer therapy. Besides, 4S-MSNs hydrogel preserves the favorable physicochemical properties of polysaccharide hydrogel, such as high hydrophilicity, satisfactory antibacterial activity, and excellent biocompatibility. Thus, the prepared 4S-MSNs hydrogel can be served as an efficient strategy for postsurgical bacterial infection and inhibition of tumor recurrence.

Abstract
Prolonged analgesia is important to safeguard the patient's comfort and safety during and after surgery in clinical practice. To meet the demand for prolonged analgesia, medical professionals often resort to increasing drug frequency, which may lead to poor patient compliance and serious complications due to drug overdose. Therefore, it is of great interest to develop controlled-release drug delivery systems for local anesthetics, enabling slow and controlled drug release to prolong the analgesic effect and minimize systemic toxicity. In this study, we utilized an electrospinning technique to fabricate nonwoven poly(caprolactone) (PCL) fibrous membranes loaded with Ropivacaine and performed proof-of-principle experiments on both in vitro drug release tests and in vivo animal tests, to further prolong the analgesic effect of Ropivacaine and improve postoperative local pain management and chronic pain treatment. Material characterization and in vitro drug release studies confirmed the feasibility of the Ropivacaine-loaded PCL fibrous membranes for sustained release. The drug loading content and drug loading efficiency of Ropivacaine-loaded fibrous membrane are 8.7 ± 0.3 wt% and 96 ± 3 wt%, respectively. Evaluation in an animal model demonstrated prolonged anesthesia effects along with excellent biocompatibility and stability. At 72 h, the cumulative release accounted for approximately 50% of the drug loading content. This study offers novel approaches and strategies for clinical postoperative pain management and chronic pain treatment, while providing new insights and directions for the design of local anesthetic controlled-release delivery systems.

Abstract
Despite relentless efforts to improve outcome, the prognosis of glioblastoma (GBM) remains poor. Standard therapy at first diagnosis consists of maximal safe surgical resection followed by radiochemotherapy, but treatment options at recurrence are scarce and have limited efficacy. Immunotherapy is a broad term that covers several treatment strategies, including immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI). The successes of systemically administered therapeutic monoclonal antibodies that block the Programmed death receptor or ligand (PD-(L)1) and Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte associated protein (CTLA)-4 immune checkpoints in other cancer types could not be reproduced in glioblastoma. This is considered to be related to the intrinsic low immunogenicity and strong immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment of glioblastoma, in addition to the presence of a blood-glioma and blood-brain barrier that limits many systemically administered therapeutic agents from reaching their target. In this mini-review, we address the specific aspects of immune suppression in glioblastoma and discuss potential strategies that could help to overcome it. The potential advantages of incorporating surgical resection in clinical trials of immunotherapy for glioblastoma, including window-of-opportunity studies, are highlighted. Combination strategies that include surgical resection, as well as local administration of therapeutic agents in the brain are discussed as a potential strategy to achieve an effective immunological response against glioblastoma.

Abstract
Immunotherapy is among the most effective approaches for treating cancer. One of the key aspects for successful immunotherapy is to achieve a strong and stable antitumor immune response. Modern immune checkpoint therapy demonstrates that cancer can be defeated. However, it also points out the weaknesses of immunotherapy, as not all tumors respond to therapy and the co-administration of different immunomodulators may be severely limited due to their systemic toxicity. Nevertheless, there is an established way through which to increase the immunogenicity of immunotherapy-by the use of adjuvants. These enhance the immune response without inducing such severe adverse effects. One of the most well-known and studied adjuvant strategies to improve immunotherapy efficacy is the use of metal-based compounds, in more modern implementation-metal-based nanoparticles (MNPs), which are exogenous agents that act as danger signals. Adding innate immune activation to the main action of an immunomodulator makes it capable of eliciting a robust anti-cancer immune response. The use of an adjuvant has the peculiarity of a local administration of the drug, which positively affects its safety. In this review, we will consider the use of MNPs as low-toxicity adjuvants for cancer immunotherapy, which could provide an abscopal effect when administered locally.

Abstract
Oral mucosal administration is extensively used to treat systemic diseases and oral mucosal diseases owing to unique oral mucosal structure and convenient administration. However, the special microenvironment of the oral cavity being open, moving, and humid causes oral mucosal drug delivery to face great challenges. To address this dilemma, local adhesive agents have been widely studied for sustained drug delivery and improved bioavailability, showing broad prospects. Recently, the author has performed studies on oral mucosal adhesive agents. In this paper, the progress of research on oral mucosal adhesive materials is reviewed.

Abstract
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare form and aggressive type of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that occurs in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised adults. While adding rituximab to chemotherapeutic regimens resulted in dramatic improvement in both progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with non-central nervous system (CNS) DLBCL, the outcomes of PCNSL are generally poor due to the immune-privileged tumor microenvironment or suboptimal delivery of systemic agents into tumor tissues. Therefore, more effective therapy for PCNSL generally requires systemic therapy with sufficient CNS penetration, including high-dose intravenous methotrexate with rituximab or high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation. However, overall survival is usually inferior in comparison to non-CNS lymphomas, and treatment options are limited for elderly patients or patients with relapsed/refractory disease. Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy has emerged as a cutting-edge cancer therapy, which led to recent FDA approvals for patients with B-cell malignancies and multiple myeloma. Although CAR-T cell therapy in patients with PCNSL demonstrated promising results without significant toxicities in some small cohorts, most cases of PCNSL are excluded from the pivotal CAR-T cell trials due to the concerns of neurotoxicity after CAR-T cell infusion. In this review, we will provide an overview of PCNSL and highlight current approaches, resistance mechanisms, and future perspectives of CAR-T cell therapy in patients with PCNSL.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious neurological condition that causes severe disability. One of the approaches to overcoming the complications of SCI is stem cell-derived extracellular vesicle (EV) therapy. In this research, we performed a comparative evaluation of rat spinal cord post-traumatic regeneration efficacy using different methods of mesenchymal stem cell-derived EV transplantation (local vs. systemic) followed by evaluation of their minimal therapeutic dose. The results suggested that MSC-EV therapy could improve locomotor activity over 60 days after the SCI, showing a dose-dependent effect on the recovery of spinal cord motor pathways. We also established the possibility of maintaining a population of mature oligodendrocytes by MSC-EVs. It was observed that in the spinal cord injury area, intravenous transplantation of MSC-EVs showed more pronounced therapeutic effects compared to the treatment of fibrin matrix-encapsulated MSC-EVs.

Abstract
Thermosensitive hydrogels, having unique sol–gel transition properties, have recently received special research attention. These hydrogels exhibit a phase transition near body temperature. This feature is the key to their applications in human medicine. In addition, hydrogels can quickly gel at the application site with simple temperature stimulation and without additional organic solvents, cross-linking agents, or external equipment, and the loaded drugs can be retained locally to improve the local drug concentration and avoid unexpected toxicity or side effects caused by systemic administration. All of these features have led to thermosensitive hydrogels being some of the most promising and practical drug delivery systems. In this paper, we review thermosensitive hydrogel materials with biomedical application potential, including natural and synthetic materials. We describe their structural characteristics and gelation mechanism and briefly summarize the mechanism of drug release from thermosensitive hydrogels. Our focus in this review was to summarize the application of thermosensitive hydrogels in disease treatment, including the postoperative recurrence of tumors, the delivery of vaccines, the prevention of postoperative adhesions, the treatment of nervous system diseases via nasal brain targeting, wound healing, and osteoarthritis treatment.

Abstract
A UV imaging release-testing setup comprising an agarose gel as a model for tumorous tissue was developed. The setup was optimized with respect to agarose concentration (0.5% (w/v)), injection procedure, and temperature control. A repeatable injection protocol was established allowing injection into cavities with well-defined geometries. The effective resolution of the SDi2 UV imaging system is 30-80 µm. The linear range of the imaging system is less than that of typical spectrophotometers. Consequently, non-linear cAMP calibration curves were applied for quantification at 280 nm. The degree of deviation from Beer's law was affected by the background absorbance of the gel matrix. MATLAB scripts provided hitherto missing flexibility with respect to definition and utilization of quantification zones, contour lines facilitating visualization, and automated, continuous data analysis. Various release patterns were observed for an aqueous solution and in situ forming Pluronic F127 hydrogel and PLGA implants containing cAMP as a model for STING ligands. The UV imaging and MATLAB data analysis setup constituted a significant technical development in terms of visualizing behavior for injectable formulations intended for intra-tumoral delivery, and, thereby, a step toward establishment of a bio-predictive in vitro release-testing method.

Abstract
Hydrogel-based local delivery systems provide a good delivery platform for cancer immunotherapy. Injectable hydrogels can directly deliver antitumor drugs to the tumor site to reduce systemic toxicity and achieve low-dose amplification immunotherapy. Therefore, it may overcome the problems of low drug utilization rate and the systemic side effects in cancer immunotherapy through systemic immune drugs, and it provides simple operation and little invasion at the same time. This study aimed to review the research progress of injectable hydrogels in tumor immunotherapy in recent years. Moreover, the local delivery of multiple drugs using injectable hydrogels in tumors is introduced to achieve single immunotherapy, combined chemo-immunotherapy, combined radio-immunotherapy, and photo-immunotherapy. Finally, the application of hydrogels in tumor immunotherapy is summarized, and the challenges and prospects for injectable hydrogels in tumor immunotherapy are proposed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory process associated with the loss of tooth-supporting tissue. The imbalance of epithelial-mesenchymal signaling is considered to drive disease progression, and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is one of the main mediators of this interaction. The aim of this study was to validate the role of HGF in the pathogenesis of periodontitis and to evaluate the effects of anti-HGF neutralizing antibodies. METHODS Gingival tissues from cynomolgus monkeys, which naturally develop severe periodontitis, were isolated to establish an in vitro periodontitis model. Periodontitis-affected monkeys were treated by gingival injection of anti-HGF neutralizing antibodies. The therapeutic effects were documented by clinical examination (probing depth and bleeding on probing), histological examination of tissue, and reevaluation of gingival fibroblasts in the in vitro model. RESULTS Periodontitis-affected monkeys contain periodontitis-associated fibroblasts (PAFs) with a pro-inflammatory phenotype that induced pronounced collagen degradation in vitro. This degradation was effectively inhibited by anti-HGF-neutralizing antibodies. Locally administered anti-HGF antibody to monkey gingiva clinically improved the severity of periodontitis. This was also reflected in the tissue histology with lower inflammatory cell infiltrates in treated gingiva than in non-treated gingiva. Moreover, fibroblasts isolated from anti-HGF-treated gingiva demonstrated reduced collagen degradation capacity. CONCLUSIONS Our study confirmed the central role of HGF in the pathogenesis of severe periodontitis in relevant in vitro and in vivo models. The positive effect of anti-HGF treatment provides a strong rationale for the use of anti-HGF-neutralizing antibodies for the treatment of human periodontitis.

Abstract
A split-mouth single-blind randomized-controlled clinical trial study was designed to investigate the effect of local and systemic vitamin C administration on extraction wound healing. Thirty patients who underwent bilateral premolar extraction were randomly divided into three group pairs; group 1: control and systemic administration (Con/CSA), group 2: control and a combination of local and systemic administration (Con/CLSA), and group 3: systemic and a combination of local and systemic administration (CSA/CLSA). The vitamin C (600 mg) was taken by swallowing (systemic administration) or slow oral dissolution (combined local and systemic administration). The socket size and radiographic density were evaluated immediately after extraction, and 7 days and 21 days later. The results demonstrated that the percentage radiographic density of new bone formation in the socket did not differ significantly within each group. However, in the CSA and CLSA group there was an improvement of soft tissue healing based in terms of socket depth reduction at 21 days after extraction compared with the control (P < 0.05).

Abstract
Background Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is the accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity as a result of malignancies affecting the lung, pleura and mediastinal lymph nodes. Curcumin, a compound found in turmeric, has anti-cancer properties that could not only treat MPE accumulation but also reduce cancer burden. To our knowledge, direct administration of curcumin into the pleural cavity has never been reported, neither in animals nor in humans. Purpose To explore the compartmental distribution, targeted pharmacokinetics and the safety profile of liposomal curcumin following intrapleural and intravenous administration. Methods Liposomal curcumin (16 mg/kg) was administered into Fischer 344 rats by either intrapleural injection or intravenous infusion. The concentration of curcumin in plasma and tissues (lung, liver and diaphragm) were measured using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS). Blood and tissues were examined for pathological changes. Results No pleural or lung pathologies were observed following intrapleural liposomal curcumin administration. Total curcumin concentration peaked 1.5 hrs after the administration of intrapleural liposomal curcumin and red blood cell morphology appeared normal. A red blood cells abnormality (echinocytosis) was observed immediately and at 1.5 hrs after intravenous infusion of liposomal curcumin. Conclusion These results indicate that liposomal curcumin is safe when administered directly into the pleural cavity and may represent a viable alternative to intravenous infusion in patients with pleural-based tumors.

Abstract
We previously developed a renal pressure-mediated transfection method (renal pressure method) as a kidney-specific in vivo gene delivery system. However, additional information on selecting other injection routes and applicable animals remains unclear. In this study, we selected renal arterial and ureteral injections as local administration routes and evaluated the characteristics of gene delivery such as efficacy, safety, and distribution in pressured kidney of rat. Immediately after the naked pDNA injection, via renal artery or ureter, the left kidney of the rat was pressured using a pressure controlling device. Transfection efficiency of the pressured kidney was about 100-fold higher than that of the injection only group in both administration routes. The optimal pressure intensity in the rat kidney was 1.2 N/cm2 for renal arterial injection and 0.9 N/cm2 for ureteral injection. We found that transgene expression site differs according to administration route: cortical fibroblasts and renal tubule in renal arterial injection and cortical and medullary tubule and medullary collecting duct in ureteral injection. This is the first report to demonstrate that the renal pressure method can also be effective, after renal arterial and ureteral injections, in rat kidney.

Abstract
To evaluate the effect of local parathyroid hormone (PTH) administration on rotator cuff tendon-to-bone healing in a rat model compared with systemic PTH injection and untreated controls. PTH-alginate scaffold was prepared and sustained release of PTH was confirmed. Bilateral supraspinatus tendon repairs were performed in 39 rats (group 1, supraspinatus repair only; group 2, supraspinatus repair with systemic PTH injection; group 3, supraspinatus repair with local PTH administration via an absorbable scaffold; n = 13 each). Biomechanical (cross-sectional area, mode of failure, load to failure, and ultimate stress: right side) and histological analyses (hematoxylin and eosin stain, Masson's Trichrome stain Picrosirius red stain, Immunohistochemistry for BMP2, PTH1R, ColI, and ColIII: Left side) were performed to evaluate tendon-to-bone healing quality at 8 weeks after repair, and blood test (osteocalcin and procollagen type I N-terminal pro-peptide [PINP] levels) was performed in all rats. There was no intergroup difference in the healing failure rate (p = 0.910) or failure mode (p = 0.585). Biomechanically, subjects in groups 2 and 3 exhibited significantly larger cross-sectional areas and higher ultimate failure loads and ultimate stress than those in group 1 (all p < 0.05); however, no differences were noted between groups 2 and 3 (all p > 0.05). Histologically, groups 2 and 3 exhibited more organized tendon-to-bone interface structures with higher density, parallel orientation, and collagen fiber continuity than group 1 (all p < 0.05 except collagen fiber continuity in group 1 vs. 2); however, no differences in histological parameters between groups 2 and 3 (all p > 0.05). The protein levels of bone morphogenic protein 2, PTH 1 receptor, and collagen I and III and the serum level of PINP were increased in groups 2 and 3 versus group 1 (all p < 0.05) without showing differences between groups 2 and 3 (all p > 0.05). Local PTH administration using an absorbable scaffold improved the biomechanical and histological outcomes of rotator cuff tendon-to-bone healing comparable with systemic PTH injection at 8 weeks after repair in a rat model. © 2019 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
Many diseases and conditions affect a relatively localized area of the body. They can be treated either by direct deposition of drug in the target area, or by giving the drug systemically. Here we review nanoparticle-based approaches to achieving both. We highlight advantages and disadvantages that nanoscale solutions have for locally administered therapies, with emphasis on the former. We discuss strategies to enable systemically delivered nanoparticles to deliver their payloads at specific locations in the body, including triggering (local and remote) and targeting.

Abstract
Background: Intrapleural administration of compounds is a lung targeted, innovative therapeutic strategy for mesothelioma, which can be refined as a route for drug delivery that minimizes the potential for systemic toxicity. However, little is currently known about the retention of liposomal drugs at the site, after such topical administration. Purpose: To evaluate the retention of liposomes in lungs following intrapleural injection, and how this might be modulated by liposome properties and disease progression. Methods: DiR-incorporating liposomes with various lipid compositions and sizes were prepared, characterized (for size distribution and zeta potential) and injected intrapleurally in normal mice and mice with malignant pleural effusion (MPE). DiR retention in pleural cavity was followed by biofluorescence imaging. Results: Experimental results demonstrate that liposome size and PEG-coating, have a significant effect on residence time in the pleural cavity; negative surface charge does not. More than 20% liposomal-DiR is retained 24 d post-injection (in some cases), indicating the high potential towards localized diseases. Ex-vivo liposomal-DiR signal in tumors of MPE mice was similar to signal in liver, suggesting high tumor targeting potential of intrapleurally injected liposomes. Finally, no difference was noticed in liposomal-DiR retention between tumor-inoculated (MPE) and healthy mice, indicating the stability of liposomes in the presence of effusion (in MPE mice). Conclusion: The current study provides novel insights for using liposomes by intrapleural administration for the treatment of lung diseases.

Abstract
Surgical site infections (SSIs) are one of the most serious complications in spine surgery. We investigated the efficacy of locally administered vancomycin (VCM) powder for prophylaxis on SSI after invasive spine surgery. We retrospectively studied 174 consecutive patients who underwent spine surgery. In patients of the VCM group (n = 81), VCM powder was administered in the wound before closing wound. Patients who did not receive VCM treatment were set as a control group (n = 93). We compared the patients’ background, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, usage of implants, presence of deep SSI, and side effects between the two groups. There were no significant differences between the groups in age, gender, and BMI. The operation time and the intraoperative blood loss were longer and greater in the VCM group than in the control group (P < 0.005, P < 0.001, respectively). Implants were used in 85% of the VCM group, and in 31% of the control group (P < 0.001). Deep SSI was not observed in the VCM group, whereas it was observed in 4 patients in the control group. No side effects were observed in any of the cases. In conclusion, surgeons applied VCM for cases which were invasive or had a high risk of infection. However, deep SSI was not observed in anyone in the VCM group. The intrawound administration of VCM might be effective to prevent SSI in cases with high risks of infection.

Abstract
Local administration has many advantages for treating diseases. However, the surface mucus layer becomes a major obstacle that easily traps and fast removes local administrated drugs and genes in mucosal tissues. Fortunately, the rapidly developing nanocarriers with special physical and chemical properties may help to refine the treatment of mucosal tissues via delivering drugs and genes to the target tissue, and prolong the drug action time. Therefore, this review focuses on the strategies to apply different nanocarriers for drug-delivery in mucosal tissues, including mucoadhesive and mucus-penetrating types. Delivering drugs and genes to anatomical sites with high mucus turnover becomes more feasible and effective, and maintains sufficient local drug concentration to improve treatment efficacy.

Abstract
The ubiquitin/proteasome system plays an important role in regulating the activity of osteoblast precursor cells. Proteasome inhibitors (PSIs) have been shown to stimulate the differentiation of osteoblast precursor cells and to promote bone formation. This raises the possibility that PSIs might be useful for enhancing fracture healing. In this study, we examined the effect of the local administration of PSI on fracture repair in rats. The effects of treatment on the healing of a fractured femur were assessed based on radiographs, micro-computed tomography (μCT) analysis, biomechanical testing, and histological analysis. PSI enhanced osteogenic differentiation in bone marrow- and periosteum-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells in vitro. Moreover, the local administration of PSI in vivo promoted fracture healing in rats, as demonstrated by an increased fracture callus volume in radiographs at 2 weeks post-fracture, and improved radiographic scores. By week 4, PSI treatment had enhanced biomechanical strength and mineral density in the callus as assessed using bending tests, and μCT, respectively. Histological sections demonstrated that PSI treatment accelerated endochondral ossification during the early stages of fracture repair. Although further investigations are necessary to assess its clinical use, the local administration of PSIs might be a novel, and effective therapeutic approach for fracture repair.

Abstract
Introduction: Bisphosphonate (Bp)-ibandronate is a pharmacological agent, exhibits antiosteoclastic or antiresorptive activity and used to treat osteolytic or osteopenic disorders. BP-ibandronate may also interfere during orthodontic tooth movement. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of locally administered Bp-ibandronate on experimental tooth movement in rabbits. Materials and Methods: Twenty rabbits were divided into two groups- “10” served as Group-1 (control) and other “10” as Group-2 (experimental). Both groups received nickel-titanium closed coil springs with 100 g force between mandibular molar and incisors. Group-1 animals received 1 ml normal saline and Group-2 animals received ibandronate solution (0.3 mg/kg body weight) locally, mesial to the mandibular molar on the 1st, 7th, and 14th day of the experiment. A total of “40” lateral cephalograms were taken from both groups on the 1st and 21st day using a digital X-ray unit (Siemens X-ray systems, 300 mA Pleomophos analog, 2008, Germany). Individually, each animal's radiograph was traced manually and superimposed. The molar tooth movement was measured with the help of a standard metric scale. Results: The Student's t-test has been done to compare the mean values of Group-1 (4.650 ± 0.363) and Group-2 (2.030 ± 0.291) and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The retarded molar tooth movement was noticed in local drug administered rabbits, which could be beneficial in orthodontics to control the undesired tooth movement.
