Drug Carriers Based on Graphene Oxide and Hydrogel: Opportunities and Challenges in Infection Control Tested by Amoxicillin Release

Graphene oxide (GO) was proposed as an efficient carrier of antibiotics. The model drug, amoxicillin (AMOX), was attached to GO using a peptide linker (Leu-Leu-Gly). GO-AMOX was dispersed in a hydrogel to which the enzyme responsible for releasing AMOX from GO was also added. The drug molecules were released by enzymatic hydrolysis of the peptide bond in the linker. As the selected enzyme, bromelain, a plant enzyme, was used. The antibacterial nature of the carrier was determined by its ability to inhibit the growth of the Enterococcus faecalis strain, which is one of the bacterial species responsible for periodontal and root canal diseases. The prepared carrier contained only biocompatible substances, and the confirmation of its lack of cytotoxicity was verified based on the mouse fibrosarcoma cell line WEHI 164. The proposed type of preparation, as a universal carrier of many different antibiotic molecules, can be considered as a suitable solution in the treatment of inflammation in dentistry.

含镁多孔支架材料的体外抗菌活性和生物相容性

文题释义：快速成型：是一种材料加工方法,它是在现代CAD/CAM技术、激光技术、计算机数控技术、精密伺服驱动技术及新材料技术的基础上集成发展起来的。不同种类的快速成型系统因所用成形材料不同,成形原理和系统特点也各有不同,但基本原理都是“分层制造,逐层叠加”。 聚乳酸：是以乳酸为主要原料聚合得到的聚合物,具有良好的生物降解性、生物相容性以及延展性,但其机械强度不足,且降解后会产生酸性代谢产物,限制了其应用范围,常与其他一种或多种生物材料复合使用,以增强骨生物活性或生物力学强度。 背景：将多聚物材料与生物陶瓷材料复合制成有机/无机复合三维支架材料,可赋予支架骨传导所必需的理化特性,同时强化材料的力学性能,但大多数骨替代材料无法预防缺损部位的感染。研究发现由于镁的降解可产生局部碱性环境,使镁具有一定的抗菌活性。 目的：探讨含镁多孔支架材料的体外抗菌活性和细胞相容性。 方法：应用低温快速成型技术制备聚乳酸/β-磷酸三钙/镁多孔支架材料,其中β-磷酸三钙与镁的质量比分别为2∶1和1∶2,分别设为PTM(2∶1)组、PTM(1∶2)组;同时应用低温快速成型技术制备聚乳酸与聚乳酸/β-磷酸三钙多孔支架材料,分别设为P组、PT组。检测4组支架的表面形貌、孔径、孔隙率及压缩模量。将金黄色葡萄球菌(ATCC 35923)接种于4组支架表面24 h,通过涂板计数法和激光共聚焦显微镜观察材料的抗菌活性。将小鼠前成骨细胞MC3T3-E1分别与4组支架材料共培养,通过CCK-8法分析材料对细胞黏附和增殖的影响。 结果与结论：①4组支架材料表面都形成相对均匀的多孔结构,4组支架间孔径大小和孔隙率比较差异均无显著性意义(P > 0.05);②PTM(2∶1)组和PTM(1∶2)组压缩模量明显高于P组、PT组(P < 0.05),PTM(1∶2)组明显高于PTM(2∶1)组(P < 0.05);③涂板计数实验显示,PTM(2∶1)组、PTM(1∶2)组菌落形成单位明显低于P组、PT组(P < 0.05),其余组间比较差异无显著性意义(P > 0.05);④培养6 h,PT组、PTM(2∶1)组、PTM(1∶2)组黏附细胞数量多于P组(P < 0.05),PTM(2∶1)组和PTM(1∶2)组比较差异均无显著性意义(P > 0.05);⑤培养1 d时,仅PT组细胞增殖优于P组(P < 0.05);培养4,7 d时,PT组、PTM(2∶1)组、PTM(1∶2)组细胞增殖均优于P组(P < 0.05),PTM(2∶1)组和PTM(1∶2)组比较差异均无显著性意义(P > 0.05);⑥结果表明,聚乳酸/β-磷酸三钙/镁多孔支架材料不但具有良好的抗菌活性,而且具有优良的细胞相容性和一定的抗压能力。 ORCID: 0000-0002-3367-674X(马瑞) 中国组织工程研究杂志出版内容重点：生物材料;骨生物材料; 口腔生物材料; 纳米材料; 缓释材料; 材料相容性;组织工程     

Preparation of specific anti-Helicobacter pylori yolk antibodies and their antibacterial effects

Objective: To study immunization procedures and preparation methods of specific IgY antibodies (IgY-Hp, IgY-IB) produced by hens immunized with Helicobacter pylori (Hp) bacterial antigen and recombinant Hp specific antigen IB, detect the inhibition effects on Hp growth and Hp urease activity, and study the effects of oral administration for treating Hp infection. Methods: By using recombinant cholera toxin subunit B (rCTB) as an adjuvant, hens received intramuscular injection immunization for continuous 7 times at an interval of 14 days. Then, the eggs were collected; IgY was purified. Results: On day 49 after hens were immunized, levels of two antibodies all reached 1:12800; after they were purified by Ammonium sulfate precipitation, their purity was over 80%. IgY-Hp could inhibit Hp growth and inhibit Hp urease activity; although in vitro, IgY-IB could not inhibit Hp growth but could inhibit Hp urease activity. The experiments in vivo found that when IgY-Hp or IgY-IB with sucralfate dual oral therapy was used to treat Hp infected mouse model, the cure rate all could reach 83.3%. Conclusion: According to immunization procedure, high titer specific IgY antibody (1:12800) can be obtained in 49 days and its titer remains stable. Oral administration of the specific IgY antibodies in Hp infected mice can reach a cure rate of 83.3%, and the antibodies are expected to become new drugs and therapeutic methods of targeted therapy against Hp infection.     

Surface Characteristics and Microbiological Analysis of a Vat-Photopolymerization Additive-Manufacturing Dental Resin

The wide application of additive manufacturing in dentistry implies the further investigation into oral micro-organism adhesion and biofilm formation on vat-photopolymerization (VP) dental resins. The surface characteristics and microbiological analysis of a VP dental resin, printed at resolutions of 50 μm (EG-50) and 100 μm (EG-100), were evaluated against an auto-polymerizing acrylic resin (CG). Samples were evaluated using a scanning electron microscope, a scanning white-light interferometer, and analyzed for Candida albicans (CA) and Streptococcus mutans (SM) biofilm, as well as antifungal and antimicrobial activity. EG-50 and EG-100 exhibited more irregular surfaces and statistically higher mean (Ra) and root-mean-square (rms) roughness (EG-50-Ra: 2.96 ± 0.32 µm; rms: 4.05 ± 0.43 µm/EG-100-Ra: 3.76 ± 0.58 µm; rms: 4.79 ± 0.74 µm) compared to the CG (Ra: 0.52 ± 0.36 µm; rms: 0.84 ± 0.54 µm) (p < 0.05). The biomass and extracellular matrix production by CA and SM and the metabolic activity of SM were significantly decreased in EG-50 and EG-100 compared to CG (p < 0.05). CA and SM growth was inhibited by the pure unpolymerized VP resin (48 h). EG-50 and EG-100 recorded a greater irregularity, higher surface roughness, and decreased CA and SM biofilm formation over the CG.
