Osteochondral defect repair is one of the challenging problems in orthopedics. In this study, a multilayer polycaprolactone (PCL) based fibrous membrane for osteochondral defect repair was biomimetically fabricated by combining self-induced crystallization, biomimetic mineralization and layer-by-layer electrospinning techniques. The multilayer functional bionic fibrous membrane consisted of cartilage repair layer, intermediate transition repair layer and subchondral bone repair layer. Glucosamine hydrochloride (GAH) encapsulated in core-shell structured PCL fibrous membrane (MGPCL) was suitable for cartilage repair. Shish-kebab (SK) structured PCL fibrous membrane with calcium phosphate coating (MSKPCL) was designed for subchondral bone repair. SK structured MGPCL fibrous membrane (SKMGPCL) was used as intermediate transition repair. The tensile modulus of MG/SKMG/MSKPCL fibrous membrane was 34.24 ± 2.39 MPa which met the requirements of cartilage and subchondral bone repair scaffolds, and in vitro culture results showed that MG/SKMG/MSKPCL fibrous membrane had good biological activity and osteogenic ability. These results showed that MG/SKMG/MSKPCL fibrous membrane provides a promising material basis for osteochondral integrated repair scaffold.

Nanoparticles (NPs) used for oral administration have greatly improved drug bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. Nevertheless, NPs are limited by biological barriers, such as gastrointestinal degradation, mucus barrier, and epithelial barrier. To solve these problems, we developed the PA-N-2-HACC-Cys NPs loaded with anti-inflammatory hydrophobic drug curcumin (CUR) (CUR@PA-N-2-HACC-Cys NPs) by self-assembled amphiphilic polymer, composed of the N -2-Hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan (N-2-HACC), hydrophobic palmitic acid (PA), and cysteine (Cys). After oral administration, the CUR@PA-N-2-HACC-Cys NPs had good stability and sustained release under gastrointestinal conditions, followed by adhering to the intestine to achieve drug mucosal delivery. Additionally, the NPs could penetrate mucus and epithelial barriers to promote cellular uptake. The CUR@PA-N-2-HACC-Cys NPs could open tight junctions between cells for transepithelial transport while striking a balance between mucus interaction and diffusion through mucus. Notably, the CUR@PA-N-2-HACC-Cys NPs improved the oral bioavailability of CUR, which remarkably relieved colitis symptoms and promoted mucosal epithelial repair. Our findings proved that the CUR@PA-N-2-HACC-Cys NPs had excellent biocompatibility, could overcome mucus and epithelial barriers, and had significant application prospects for oral delivery of the hydrophobic drugs.

Polygonum viviparum L. (PV) is a widely used resource plant with high medicinal, feeding and ecological values. Our studies show that PV has strong antioxidant activity. However, up to date, the antioxidant activity and components in other parts were not fully elucidated. In the present study, a new online pre-column ferric ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP)-based antioxidant reaction coupled with high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-DAD-TOF/MS) was developed for rapid and high-throughput screening of natural antioxidants from three different parts of PV including stems and leaves, fruits and rhizomes. In this procedure, it was assumed that the peak areas of compounds with potential antioxidant activity in HPLC chromatograms would be greatly diminished or vanish after incubating with the FRAP. The online incubation conditions including mixed ratios of sample and FRAP solution and reaction times were firstly optimized with six standards. Then, the repeatability of the screening system was evaluated by analysis of the samples of stems and leaves of PV. As a result, a total of 21 compounds mainly including flavonoids and phenolic acids were screened from the three parts of PV. In conclusion, the present study provided a simple and effective strategy to rapidly screen antioxidants in natural products.

The nanomaterials-based artificial enzymes have attracted great attention because of their high stability, good biocompatibility, high catalytic efficiency, and low cost in recent years. Herein, we synthesized a new covalent organic framework (COFs) through the dehydration reaction of 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalaldehyde and tetra-(4-aminophenyl) porphyrin , which was then used to fabricate the core-shell structured nanospheres (Fe 3 O 4 @COFs) by decorating on magnetic Fe 3 O 4 . In the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), the Fe 3 O 4 @COFs nanospheres were able to catalyze the oxidation of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to a blue product (ox-TMB), indicating their high peroxidase-like activity. Based on this phenomenon, the Fe 3 O 4 @COFs was used as a colorimetric probe for sensitive and selective detection of H 2 O 2 and glucose. The detection limit (LOD) of H 2 O 2 was calculated to be 2.6 μM in a linear range from 0.1 to 4 mM, while the LOD of glucose was valued as 6 μM ranging from 0.05 to 0.9 mM. Finally, this method was applied in the determination of the glucose concentration in human serum with high accuracy. Thus, the as-prepared Fe 3 O 4 @COFs could be used as a highly sensitive and selective peroxidase mimic to detect hydrogen peroxide-related molecules, suggesting their great potential in biomedical application.

As vectors for anticancer drug delivery, mesoporous silica nanocomposites (MSN) incorporated bicalutamide (BLT) featuring folic acid (FA) (termed as COOH-MSNs-HBP@BLT/FA) have been effectively achieved due to their ability to pH stimulation response and targeting. Systematic characterization investigations were conducted to determine the chemical composition and physical characteristics of these NPs. Through carboxy alteration, their drug loading capacity was dramatically increased (268.60 %), and they displayed pH-responsive drug release patterns. Additionally, the cytotoxicity of the as-synthesized NPs was tested in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells in vitro. After 24-h of treatment with BLT, COOH-MSNs, COOH-MSNs@BLT, COOH-MSNs-HBP@BLT/FA, MCF-7, and MDA-MB-231 cells exhibited distinct morphological alterations, and reddish orange apoptotic bodies were detected using acridine orange and ethidium bromide (AO and EB) double staining. Nuclear alterations such as chromatin condensation/fragmentation were detected by Hoechst 33342 staining techniques. The Annexin V-FITC/PI was used to examine the apoptosis mechanism of the cells. These results prove that apoptosis induction is responsible for the antiproliferative effects of BLT, COOH-MSNs, COOH-MSNs@BLT, and COOH-MSNs-HBP@BLT/FA in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231cells. We conclude that COOH-MSNs-HBP@BLT/FA has the potential as a drug delivery method for breast cancer treatment.

The design of Pt-based nanoarchitectures with controllable compositions and morphologies is necessary to enhance their electrocatalytic activity. Herein, we report a rational design and synthesis of anisotropic mesoporous Pt@Pt-skin Pt 3 Ni core-shell framework nanowires for high-efficient electrocatalysis. The catalyst has a uniform core-shell structure with an ultrathin atomic-jagged Pt nanowire core and a mesoporous Pt-skin Pt 3 Ni framework shell, possessing high electrocatalytic activity, stability and Pt utilisation efficiency. For the oxygen reduction reaction, the anisotropic mesoporous Pt@Pt-skin Pt 3 Ni core-shell framework nanowires demonstrated exceptional mass and specific activities of 6.69 A/mg pt and 8.42 mA/cm 2 (at 0.9 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode), and the catalyst exhibited high stability with negligible activity decay after 50,000 cycles. The mesoporous Pt@Pt-skin Pt 3 Ni core-shell framework nanowire configuration combines the advantages of three-dimensional open mesopore molecular accessibility and compressive Pt-skin surface strains, which results in more catalytically active sites and weakened chemisorption of oxygenated species, thus boosting its catalytic activity and stability towards electrocatalysis.

Cisplatin has been widely applied in the clinical treatment of various cancers, whereas liver injury induced by its hepatotoxicity is still a severe issue. Reliable identification of early-stage cisplatin-induced liver injury (CILI) can improve clinical care and help to streamline drug development. Traditional methods, however, cannot achieve enough information at the subcellular level due to the requirement of the labeling process and low sensitivity. To overcome these, we designed an Au-coated Si nanocone array (Au/SiNCA) to fabricate the microporous chip as the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) analysis platform for the early diagnosis of CILI. A CILI rat model was established, and the exosome spectra were obtained. The principal component analysis (PCA)-representation coefficient-based k-nearest centroid neighbor (RCKNCN) classification algorithm was proposed as the multivariate analysis method to build the diagnosis and staging model. The PCA-RCKNCN model has been validated to achieve a satisfactory result, with accuracy and AUC of over 97.5%, and sensitivity and specificity of over 95%, indicating that SERS combined with the PCA-RCKNCN analysis platform can be a promising tool for clinical applications.

Excessive proliferation, metastasis and immune escape are considered to be hallmarks of cancer contributing to tumor progression. Split hand and foot malformation 1 (SHFM1) is highly expressed in various cancers and has been reported to increase malignant behaviors. However, the biological functions of SHFM1 in esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCC) progression remain to be elucidated. An integrated bioinformatics analysis was performed to identify candidate genes in ESCC progression based on GSE microarrays. SHFM1 was found to be profoundly upregulated in ESCC tissues compared with normal tissues and SHFM1 expression was positively associated with poor prognosis. The biological effects of SHFM1 on cell growth, metastasis and immune escape were investigated following depletion or overexpression of SHFM1 in vitro. A xenograft mouse model was established to investigate the effect of SHFM1 on ESCC progression in vivo. SHFM1 overexpression promoted ESCC cell proliferation and migration in vitro as well as tumorigenesis in vivo, while SHFM1 knockdown restored those phenotype changes. Additionally, the present study demonstrated that the effects of SHFM1 on malignant behaviors of ESCC cells were achieved by activating the NF‑κB signaling accompanied by increased P65 phosphorylation and nuclear translocation. Furthermore, SHFM1 was also found to regulate the sensitivity of cancer cells to natural killer (NK) cells. Specifically, inhibition of SHFM1 enhanced cell‑mediated cell apoptosis and increased NK toxicity, which might involve the downregulation of c‑Myc and programmed death‑ligand 1, key targets in cancer immunotherapy. In conclusion, these findings suggested that SHFM1 probably promoted ESCC progression by activating the NF‑κB pathway and enhancing the resistance of ESCC cells to NK cell cytotoxicity, indicating that SHFM1 may be a promising target for ESCC treatment.

Introduction Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been widely researched by cancer therapists in recent years. This study aims to establish a drug delivery system combining PDT and chemotherapy to show that chemotherapeutic drugs provide oxygen to PDT, while PDT promotes the release of chemotherapeutic drug.Methods Firstly, poly(ethylene glycol)-lysine(Ce6)-block-poly(L-glutamate)-imidazole (mPEG-lys(Ce6)-PGA-AIM) was synthesized and self-assembled into micelles that exhibited pH- and ROS-responsiveness and buffering capacity. Perfluorohexanoate-modified cisplatin (FCP), as oxygen carriers, was encapsulated into mPEG-lys(Ce6)-PGA-AIM micelles. Then, the properties of micelles and their biological functions in vivo and in vitro were investigated.Results The micelles exhibited remarkabe stability, pH regulated drug release, good biocompatibility and effective tumor penetration. Cellular uptake demonstrated the efficient endosome/lysosome escape of CFMs, which facilitates the intracellular drug release. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments reflected that CFMs with laser irradiation showed significantly improved therapeutic activity compared with single PDT or chemotherapy.Conclusion Chemotherapy and PDT were combined in the form of mutual assistance to provide a promising strategy for clinical treatment.

Background Colon cancer (CRC) was a malignant tumor and there were about 25% of patients with tumor metastasis at diagnosis stage. Chemotherapeutic agents for metastatic CRC patients were with great side effects and the clinical treatment results of advanced CRC were still not satisfactory. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is overexpressed in some CRC patients and is an effective target for CRC patient treatment. Anti-HER2 therapy had a beneficial role in the treatment of HER2-positive metastatic CRC with fewer side effects. CRC patients with BRAF mutations were resistant to HER2 antibodies treatment. Therefore, there was an urgent need to develop new therapeutic agents.Methods HER2 targeted nanoparticles (TPLNP) drug delivery system loading triptolide (TPL) were prepared and identified. The effects of TPLNP and free TPL on cell viability, targeting and cell cycle progression on HT29 (BRAF mutation) with HER2 overexpression, were evaluated by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8), Fluorescence Activating Cell Sorter (FACS) and immunofluorescence methods, respectively. The anti-tumor efficacies of TPLNP were evaluated in subcutaneous xenograft model of colon cancer and the survival rate, tumor volume, liver and kidney indexes of tumor-bearing mice were measured.Results TPLNP was small in nanosize (73.4±5.2nm) with narrow size distribution (PDI=0.15±0.02) and favorable zeta potential (pH=9.6, zeta potential: −57.3±6.69mV; pH=7.0, zeta potential: −28.7±5.1mV; pH=5.6, zeta potential: −21.1±4.73mV). Comparing with free TPL treatment group, TPLNP developed stranger colon cancer-killing efficiency in a dose- and time-dependent manner detected with CCK8 method; achieved good in vitro colon cancer targeting detected with flow cytometry and immunofluorescence experiments; enhanced more HT29-HER2 apoptosis and induced more cell cycle arrested in G1-S phase detected with FACS in vitro. As for in vivo antitumor response, TPLNP remarkably inhibited the growth of colon cancer in the colon cancer xenograft model, significantly improved the survival rate and did not exhibit significant liver and kidney toxicity in contrast with free TPL in vivo.Conclusion TPLNP was effectively against colon cancer with HER2 overexpression and BRAF mutation in pre-clinical models. In summary, the TPLNP appeared to be a promising treatment option for CRC in clinical application based on improved efficacy and the favorable safety profile.

Surgery is the mainstream treatment for melanoma. However, inappropriate post-surgical treatment could result in the tumor recurrence and sever tissue damage, which ultimately leads to the failure of therapy and significantly compromises the therapeutic outcome of surgery. Herein, taking advantages of the co-axial electrospinning technology, we construct a dual-function nanofibrous wound dressing for the post-surgical treatment of melanoma. Si-Ca-P-based mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) was prepared by the template-sol-gel process, with the compositions being set as 60 SiO 2 : 36 CaO: 4 P 2 O 5 in mol%. Through rational design, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-loaded MBG nanoparticles (MBG-U) are successfully incorporated into the fiber core with biodegradable poly(lactic- co -glycolic acid) (PLGA) as the cladding layer to form the core-shell nanofibers (MBG-U CSF), which achieves sustained releases of chemotherapeutic drug ( i.e. ,5-FU) and wound healing promotion function. Thereafter, the post-surgical melanoma model was established to evaluate the in-situ anti-cancer and wound healing effect of MBG-U CSF. Thereafter, the post-surgical melanoma model was established to evaluate the anti-cancer and wound healing effect. The results demonstrated that the core-shell nanofibrous dressing almost complete suppressed tumor growth, and simultaneously promoted skin regeneration, which provides a promising strategy for the post-surgical treatment for melanoma.

It is of fundamental and industrial interest to develop a facile method to modify the graphene sheets with heteroatoms such as oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N). Herein, the O and N atoms were discovered to be grafted onto the edges of graphene sheets during the simple grinding process with solvent in air or N 2 atmosphere. By combining X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS), electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR) and H 2 O 2 experiments, we show where the O and N atoms were grafted and how the modification of graphene with O and N atoms occurred. The results showed that the O atoms of air and N atoms of solvent molecules could be bonded to the edges of graphene sheets during the grinding process, which followed the radical reaction mechanism.
