A novel efficient transdermal (TD) lidocaine (LD) delivery device based on chitosan (CS) and hyaluronic acid (HA) was successfully developed in the present investigation. CS was grafted with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and butyl methacrylate (BMA) to fabricate a versatile material with improved adhesion and mechanical properties. HA was hydrophobically modified by covalently conjugating 3-(dimethylamino)-1-propylamine (DMPA) to encapsulate poorly water soluble LD and was uniformly dispersed in modified CS matrix. The prepared materials were characterized through FTIR, NMR, XRD, SEM, TEM and tensile assay. The dispersion of amine functionalized HA (AHA) on modified CS matrix offered strong matrix - filler interaction, which improved the mechanical properties and drug retention behavior of the device. In vitro skin permeation study of LD was performed with modified Franz diffusion cell using rat skin and exhibited controlled release. The influence of storage time on release profile was investigated and demonstrated that after the initial burst, LD release profile of the device after 30 and 60days storage was identical to that of a device which was not stored. In vivo skin adhesion test and skin irritation assay in human subjects, water vapor permeability and environmental fitness test was performed to judge its application in biomedical field. All results displayed that the fabricated device is a potential candidate for TD LD administration to the systemic circulation.

In recent years, postoperative tumor therapy with a suitable approach has been an important issue. Remodeling the tumor microenvironment and accelerating tissue repair can accelerate patients' surgical site recovery, reduce patient pain as well as prevent postoperative tumor recurrence. The shape non-adaptability, cytotoxicity, and non-degradability of some hydrogels still hinder the application of hydrogel-based drug delivery systems in postoperative recovery.

Background: Selenium (Se) is a vital micronutrient for maintaining homeostasis in the human body. Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have demonstrated improved bioavailability compared to both inorganic and organic forms of Se. Therefore, supplementing with elemental Se in its nano-form is highly promising for biomedical applications related to Se deficiency.

Implantable drug delivery systems offer numerous benefits, including effective drug administration at lower concentrations, fewer side effects, and improved patient compliance. Various polymers are used for fabricating implants, with biopolymers, particularly polysaccharides, being notable for their ability to modulate drug delivery characteristics. The review aims to describe the strategies employed in the development of polysaccharide-based implants and provide a comprehensive understanding of various polysaccharides such as starch, cellulose, alginate, chitosan, pullulan, carrageenan, dextran, hyaluronic acid, agar, pectin, and gellan gum in the fabrication of implant for targeted therapy.
