The biodegradable, nontoxic, and renewable carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) hydrogel has been developed into a green adsorbent. However, the weak chemical interaction limits its adsorption capability and reusability. This work incorporated lignin with complex structure and ZnO nanoparticles with photocatalytic properties into CMC hydrogel beads to improve the removal of methylene blue (MB) through chemical interaction. Scanning electron microscopic images and Fourier-transform infrared spectra confirmed the compatibility between lignin and ZnO nanoparticles as well as the increment of active sites for dye removal. The MB adsorption on CMC hydrogel beads was more significantly affected by the temperate and initial concentration compared to contact time, pH, and adsorbent dosage. The MB adsorption capacity of CMC hydrogel was improved to 276.79 mg/g after incorporating lignin and ZnO nanoparticles. The adsorption followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model, indicating chemical adsorption. After 6 cycles, the adsorption capacity was reduced by about 15 %. The UV irradiation could recover and improve MB adsorption capacity of CMC hydrogel beads containing ZnO nanoparticles due to the introduction of reactive oxygen species.

Buccal drug delivery offers a promising alternative for avoiding gastrointestinal degradation and first-pass metabolism. However, enhancing the buccal epithelial barrier's permeability remains challenging. This study explores the effects of ethanolic extracts from (CM), (CMC), and (ORD) on buccal epithelium permeability in vitro using a TR146 cell-based model.

On account of the existence of antibiotic resistance, the wound healing of pathogenic infection is still a challenge in modern society. A desirable wound dressing should own the abilities of adhesiveness, hemostasis and good mechanical property, meanwhile the property of eliminating bacteria without side effects is also highly needed. In this work, we established a kind of hydrogel based on carboxymethyl cellulose-graft-tyramine (CMC-Ty) and MXene (TiCT) through employing HO/HRP (horseradish peroxidase) as the initiator, then the as-prepared hydrogel (named CMC-Ty/MXene) was immersed in tannic acid (TA) solution, and this TA-treated hydrogel was called CMC-Ty/MXene+TA.

Postsurgical adhesions are a common complication associated with surgical procedures; they not only impact the patient's well-being but also impose a financial burden due to medical expenses required for reoperative surgeries or adhesiolysis. Adhesions can range from a filmy, fibrinous, or fibrous vascular band to a cohesive attachment, and they can form in diverse anatomical locations such as the peritoneum, pericardium, endometrium, tendons, synovium, and epidural and pleural spaces. Numerous strategies have been explored to minimize the occurrence of postsurgical adhesions.
