Alginate Microsphere Encapsulation of Drug-Loaded Nanoparticles: A Novel Strategy for Intraperitoneal Drug Delivery

Alginate hydrogels have been broadly investigated for use in medical applications due to their biocompatibility and the possibility to encapsulate cells, proteins, and drugs. In the treatment of peritoneal metastasis, rapid drug clearance from the peritoneal cavity is a major challenge. Aiming to delay drug absorption and reduce toxic side effects, cabazitaxel (CAB)-loaded poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) (PACA) nanoparticles were encapsulated in alginate microspheres. The PACAlg alginate microspheres were synthesized by electrostatic droplet generation and the physicochemical properties, stability, drug release kinetics, and mesothelial cytotoxicity were analyzed before biodistribution and therapeutic efficacy were studied in mice. The 450 µm microspheres were stable at in vivo conditions for at least 21 days after intraperitoneal implantation in mice, and distributed evenly throughout the peritoneal cavity without aggregation or adhesion. The nanoparticles were stably retained in the alginate microspheres, and nanoparticle toxicity to mesothelial cells was reduced, while the therapeutic efficacy of free CAB was maintained or improved in vivo. Altogether, this work presents the alginate encapsulation of drug-loaded nanoparticles as a promising novel strategy for the treatment of peritoneal metastasis that can improve the therapeutic ratio between toxicity and therapeutic efficacy.     

Therapeutic Intervention with Dietary Chitosan Nanoparticles Alleviates Fish Pathological and Molecular Systemic Inflammatory Responses against Infections

Marine bio-sourced chitosan nanoparticles (CSNP) are antimicrobial and immunomodulatory agents beneficial for fish medicine. Herein, dietary CSNP was investigated for the amelioration of the systemic inflammatory responses of an induced fish model. One hundred and forty-four rainbow trout were assigned to one pathogen-free and non-supplemented group (negative control), and three challenged groups: non-supplemented (positive control), CSNP-preventive, and CSNP-therapeutic. After a feeding experiment extended for 21 days, the organosomatic indices (OSI) and molecular aspects were assessed. After a challenge experiment extended for further 28 days, CSNP-therapeutic intervention was assessed on fish survival and systemic inflammatory responses on pathology, histo-morphology, and molecular aspects. With CSNP administration, OSI nonsignificantly decreased and the relative expression of targeted inflammatory-mediator genes was significantly increased. The CSNP-therapeutic fish showed an RPS of 80% as compared to the positive control group, and CSNP-therapeutic administration retained the highest gene expression augmentation up to 28 days after the challenge. Notably, the splenic reticulin fibers framework of the CSNP-therapeutic group retained the highest integrity among the groups during the infection. After recovery, reticulin fibers density in the CSNP-therapeutic samples was significantly higher than in the negative control group, which indicates high innate immunity. Thus, CSNP showed promising biotherapeutic features enhancing fish resistance against infections.     

Response of wheat genotypes to foliar spray of ZnO and Fe2O3 nanoparticles under salt stress

This study evaluated the effects of iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) and zinc oxide (ZnO) on two wheat genotypes (Kavir and Tajan) at three levels (0, 75, and 150 mM sodium chloride (NaCl)) of salinity. Spray treatments included two forms of normal and nanoparticles of Fe₂O₃ and ZnO, a mixture of nanoparticles of Fe₂O₃ and ZnO (2 g L^?1) and a non-spray treatment. The pot experiment was arranged as factorial in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Two forms of Fe₂O₃ and ZnO significantly accelerated plant height, leaf area, shoot dry weight, and the concentration of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) in comparison with non-spray treatment. The highest plant height and leaf Fe concentration belonged to Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles; however, it seems that the spray of nanoparticles may not be superior compared with normal forms in alleviation of salinity impacts.

土施纳米氧化锌对蚯蚓生理和黄瓜幼苗生长的影响

纳米氧化锌(ZnO NPs)由于其独特的理化性质,被广泛应用于各行各业,在带来巨大利益的同时也存在着潜在风险,如细胞毒性、基因毒性等。在土壤环境中,ZnO NPs可能会对陆地生态系统中的生物构成严重威胁。本研究采用盆栽试验的方法,评估了ZnO NPs对蚯蚓生理以及黄瓜幼苗生长的影响。结果表明:各处理ZnO NPs对蚯蚓的生长发育影响不显著,但随着浓度的增加,蚯蚓的抗氧化酶活性发生变化,SOD呈现出增加的趋势,CAT和POD先降低再上升,二者表现为协同作用。当ZnO NPs处理为1 000 mg·kg-1时,蚯蚓受到的氧化胁迫最大,MDA含量较对照增加了19.2%。对于黄瓜幼苗而言,ZnO NPs处理能够普遍增强植株氧化应激,除了SOD在1 000 mg·kg-1时受到抑制外,SOD、CAT、POD及MDA均随浓度的增加而增加。蚯蚓的加入能显著促进幼苗生长,增加生物量、提高根系活力,同时也能在一定程度上缓解或抑制ZnO NPs对植株造成的损伤。ZnO NPs处理为500mg·kg-1和1 000 mg·kg-1时,SOD分别较不加蚯蚓处理降低了76.7%、63.5%,MDA分别降低了28.6%、23.7%。在28 d培养周期中,蚯蚓对ZnO NPs响应较低,组织锌含量没有显著变化;黄瓜幼苗地上部和地下部锌含量均随着处理浓度的增加而增加,而添加蚯蚓的处理降低了植株的锌含量,也反映了蚯蚓在系统中对胁迫条件下的黄瓜幼苗生长的调控和缓解作用。     

不同亚铁矿物对As(Ⅲ)和As(Ⅴ)的表面吸附特征及机制比较研究

为探明稻田土壤还原条件下不同亚铁矿物对砷的修复潜力,本研究对比研究了磁铁矿、菱铁矿、黄铁矿三种亚铁矿物在不同 pH 条件下（pH 3.00、5.00、7.00）对 As（Ⅲ）、As（Ⅴ）的吸附特征,并以电位滴定法探究了导致三种亚铁矿物吸持 As（Ⅲ）、As（Ⅴ）能力差异的表面电荷性质。等温吸附平衡实验结果表明,Langmuir模型能较好描述三种亚铁矿物对As（Ⅲ）、As（Ⅴ）的吸附过程。弱酸条件（pH=5.00）下,亚铁矿物对As（Ⅲ）、As（Ⅴ）的吸附容量依次为：磁铁矿[As（Ⅲ）：23.38 mg·g^-1,As（Ⅴ）：71.33 mg·g^-1] >菱铁矿[As（Ⅲ）：11.63 mg·g^-1,As（Ⅴ）：21.69 mg·g^-1]>黄铁矿[As（Ⅲ）：10.72 mg·g^-1,As（Ⅴ）：7.75 mg·g^-1],在弱酸性（pH=5.00）条件下三种矿物中磁铁矿对As（Ⅲ）和As（Ⅴ）吸附容量最高。在中性（pH=7.00）条件下黄铁矿对As（Ⅲ）、菱铁矿对As（Ⅴ）吸附容量相对较高。供试pH条件下磁铁矿、菱铁矿对As（Ⅲ）的吸附强度较高,黄铁矿则对As（Ⅴ）的吸附强度较高。电位滴定实验测得亚铁矿物的电荷零点和总可变电荷量依次为：磁铁矿（pH 9.76;1.025 mol·g^-1）>菱铁矿（pH 7.52;0.240 mol·g^-1）>黄铁矿（pH 4.03;0.084 mol·g^-1）,表面活性位点密度依次为：黄铁矿（90.59 site·nm^-2）>菱铁矿（42.77 site·nm^-2）>磁铁矿（7.94 site·nm^-2）,亚铁矿物对As（Ⅲ）、As（Ⅴ）的吸附容量受溶液pH、总可变电荷量及其电荷零点影响。非专性吸附和专性吸附是磁铁矿和菱铁矿吸附As的主要方式,而黄铁矿则以专性吸附为主。研究表明,不同pH条件下不同亚铁矿物对稻田土壤砷的修复潜力不同,酸性条件下磁铁矿对As（Ⅲ）和As（Ⅴ）有较好修复潜力,中性条件下黄铁矿对As（Ⅲ）、菱铁矿对As（Ⅴ）有较好修复潜力。
