Objectives: Evaluated the effect of phosphorylated chitosan (ChiPh) and nano-sized sodium trimetaphosphate (TMPnano) incorporation into resin modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) on mechanical, fluoride release, antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties.

Methods: RMGIC was combined with ChiPh (0.25%/0.5%) and/or TMPnano (14%). The diametral compressive/tensile strength (DCS/TS), surface hardness (SH) and degree of conversion (%DC) were determined. For fluoride (F) release, samples were immersed in De/RE solutions. Antimicrobial/antibiofilm activity was evaluated by agar diffusion test/biofilm metabolism. Cytotoxicity on MDPC-23 odontoblast cell lines was evaluated.

Results: TS and DCS (24 h), all the groups were similar (p>0.05). After 7 days, RMGIC-14%TMPnano-0.25%ChiPh showed the best results for TS/DCS (p<0.05). The SH was lower and similar for the RMGIC and RMGI-14%TMPnano-0.5%ChiPh groups (p>0.05) after 24 h; after 7 days, all groups containing TMPnano and/or ChiPh showed higher SH when compared to RMGIC, except for RMGIC-0.5% ChiPh. The %DC was similar for all groups (p=0.172). There was a gradual release of F for all groups during the 15 days; in the cumulative analysis, after 15 days, the RMGIC-14%TMPnano-0.25%ChiPh group showed the highest value (p<0.05). Viability against S. mutans was observed for the RMGIC-14%TMPnano-0.25%ChiPh group (p<0.05). After 24 h, the RMGIC-0.25%ChiPh and RMGIC-14%TMPnano-0.25%ChiPh groups showed the lowest cytotoxic effect (p=0.371); at 48 h/72 h, only the RMGIC-14%TMPnano-0.25%ChiPh group showed similar cytocompatibility.

Conclusion: The addition of ChiPh (0.25%) and TMPnano (14%) improved the RMGIC's mechanical, antimicrobial/antibiofilm and cytotoxic properties.

Clinical Relevance: ChiPh and TMPnano into RMGIC could be a promising restorative material for application in patients with active dental caries.

Nano Phosphorylated Pullulan-Integrated Carboxymethyl Chitosan Scaffold for Regeneration of the Pulp-Dentin Complex: An Study.

J Pharm Bioallied Sci

Reader, Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, Indira Gandhi Institute of Dental Sciences, SBV University Pillayarkuppam, Puducherry, India.

Background: To optimize a novel composite scaffold comprising of nano phosphorylated pullulan incorporated carboxymethyl chitosan (nPP-CMC) and to evaluate its cell viability and proliferation in human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs).

Methodology: Nano phosphorylated pullulan (nPP) in concentrations of 200 mg, 400 mg, 600 mg, 800 mg, and 1 g was vortexed in 20 mL of distilled water, followed by 30 mins of ultrasonication for even dispersion. 1 g of CMC was added to each nPP mixture, blended for 1 hour to form a hydrogel, and freeze-dried for 18 hours at -20°C to yield nPP-CMC scaffolds in ratios of 1:5, 2:5, 3:5, 4:5, and 1:1.

Background: Burn wound management is challenging, and while mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes show therapeutic potential, optimal delivery methods are unclear.

Aim: To study chitosan (CS)-αβ-glycerophosphate (CS-αβ-GP) hydrogel crosslinked with adipose-derived stem cell exosomes (ASC-Exos) for healing deep burn injuries.

Methods: Rats with deep burn injuries were divided into the CS + ASCs-Exos group, the ASCs-Exos group, the CS group, and the control group.

In this research, a new synthesis approach was developed for an adsorbent, namely the phosphorylated ZIF-8/bamboo charcoal/chitosan/tannic acid (P-ZBCT) composite, for the efficient adsorption of uranyl ions from wastewater at low dosages. Impressively, the uranium adsorption rate of P-ZBCT reaches up to 98 % at a low dosage of 0.056 g/L in a 10-mg/L uranium solution, outperforming most reported uranium adsorption materials.
