Antibiotic delivery based on poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid and natural polymers: a biocomposite strategy

Federico Karp et al.

Summary: Polymer controlled release systems are being extensively researched for their potential as new therapeutic options. These systems aim to control active principle levels, optimize drug doses, reduce secondary effects, and improve patient acceptance. This study focuses on designing delivery systems for tilmicosin and clarithromycin using synthetic and natural polymers to enhance encapsulation efficiencies and release rates. The results demonstrate varying encapsulation efficiencies and release rates depending on the type of antibiotic and synthesis factors. Incorporating microparticles into beads showed potential for biocomposite systems, but only resulted in diminished release rate for tilmicosin. Overall, these investigated systems offer interesting prospects for new therapeutic options in animal and human health.

Entropic Origin of Ionic Interactions in Polar Solvents

Samuel Varner et al.

Summary: Implicit solvent models are commonly used to study soft materials and biophysical systems by simplifying solvent degrees of freedom into effective interaction potentials. In electrolyte and polyelectrolyte solutions, the solvent degrees of freedom are coarse-grained into an effective dielectric constant, which incorporates the entropic contributions into the temperature dependence of the dielectric constant. Properly considering the electrostatic entropy is crucial for differentiating between enthalpically and entropically driven free energy changes. In this study, we investigate the entropic origin of electrostatic interactions in a dipolar solvent and provide a clearer physical understanding of the solvent dielectric response. We calculate the potential of mean force (PMF) between oppositely charged ions in a dipolar solvent using molecular dynamics and dipolar self-consistent field theory, and find that the PMF is primarily governed by the entropy gain from dipole release, resulting from reduced orientational polarization of the solvent. We also observe a nonmonotonic temperature dependence of the relative contribution of entropy to the free energy change. Our findings are expected to be applicable to a wide range of problems involving ionic interactions in polar solvents.

Combining electrospinning with hot drawing process to fabricate high performance poly (L-lactic acid) nanofiber yarns for advanced nanostructured bio-textiles

Shaohua Wu et al.

Summary: In this study, novel nanofiber yarns were developed by combining nanostructure with biodegradability and strong mechanical properties through a hot drawing process using poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA). The thermally drawn PLLA nanofiber yarns showed superior fibrous structure, enhanced crystallinity, and excellent mechanical performances, and promoted the adhesion, alignment, proliferation, and differentiation of human adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells compared to untreated PLLA nanofiber yarns. The nanofiber yarns were further processed into various tissue scaffolds with adjustable properties, demonstrating their potential for advanced biotextiles in surgical implant applications.
