Modification of polylactic acid (PLA) is a promising strategy for the next generation of bioresorbable vascular stent biomaterials. With this focus, FeMOFs nanoparticles was incorporated in PLA, and then post loading of CO was performed by pressurization. It showed FeMOFs incorporation increased hydrophilicity of the surface and CO loading, and CO release was sustained at least for 3d. It is well acknowledged NETosis and macrophage mediated inflammation are the principal effectors of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, and it further increases the risk of late stent thrombosis and restenosis. In this study, the effects of CO release of PLA/FeMOFs/CO on NETosis and macrophage behavior were thoroughly explored. In vitro evaluation results showed that PLA/FeMOFs/CO significantly inhibited neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) release and neutrophil elastase (NE) expression by reducing intracellular ROS in a simulated inflammatory environment. It reduced LPS-induced macrophage inflammation with decreased TNF-α expression and increased IL-10 expression. Meanwhile it enhanced endothelial cell activity and growth in inflammatory environment, and inhibited platelet adhesion and activation. In vivo implantation results confirmed that PLA/FeMOFs/CO reduced the macrophages and neutrophils mediated inflammatory response, thus reduced the neointimal hyperplasia. Overall, PLA/FeMOFs/CO effectively prevented the inflammation and restenosis associated with PLA implantation. Our study provides a new strategy to improve the immunocompatibility of PLA implant materials.

Traditional pesticide formulations have issues such as poor targeting, low adhesion performance, and a tendency to leach into the environment, causing pollution. In this study, a pesticide delivery platform (PRO@FeMOFs@CMC) with a dual response was designed by encapsulating prochloraz technical (PRO) within Fe-based metal–organic frameworks (FeMOFs) and using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as the gatekeeper. The results showed that PRO@FeMOFs@CMC exhibited a loading capacity of 28.86 % for PRO and efficient adhesion to wheat and rice leaves. This delivery platform showed a significant increase in the release of PRO under environments similar to that produced by a pathogen infection, involving cellulase and glutathione (GSH). Importantly, compared to prochloraz suspension concentrate (PRO@SC), PRO@FeMOFs@CMC exhibited higher fungicidal efficacy against Rhizoctonia cereali and Rhizoctonia solani and its acute toxicity to zebrafish and earthworms was reduced by 3.7 times and 8.6 times, respectively. Compared to PRO@SC, the cells treated with PRO@FeMOFs@CMC had higher cell viability and a significantly reduced apoptosis rate, demonstrating greater safety. Additionally, FeMOFs@CMC showed no evident toxicity to wheat and rice. In summary, PRO@FeMOFs@CMC is an efficient and safe pesticide controlled-release system for the sustainable management of wheat and rice diseases.
