摘要:


文题释义:

超声声致相变效应:是超声波在介质中传播时产生的一种特殊效应,即声致液滴蒸发效应。该效应指的是超声波作用下液体微滴或微泡发生相变,从液态转变为气态的动态响应过程。这种相变导致微滴或微泡快速膨胀和破裂,释放出高速气体或液体颗粒,产生强烈的声反射和散射信号。声致相变效应是重要的超声物理现象之一,在超声成像、治疗和药物传递等领域具有重要应用。
超声响应性纳米载体:是一种能够在超声波的空化和机械作用刺激响应下将内部装载的金纳米粒子释出发挥效应的纳米级声学液滴,相较于微气泡能以更高的效率提高药物在体内的累积及控释,同时促进药物或目的基因在细胞内的运输。


背景:金纳米粒子在多功能经皮给药系统的开发中具有重要意义,较小尺寸的金纳米粒子可通过细胞间路径向真皮层渗透,然而由于易团聚和胶体形态的限制,金纳米粒子存在着难以局限发挥效应、递送效率低的问题。

目的:通过结合相变纳米液滴与生物黏附性水凝胶开发一种超声优化的水凝胶支架,用于金纳米粒子的经皮递送。
方法:利用乳剂溶剂挥发法制备包载金纳米粒子的超声相变纳米液滴,并将其装载到聚多巴胺修饰的甲基丙烯酰化明胶水凝胶内制备复合水凝胶支架,对超声响应性纳米金载体进行结构与化学组分的表征,对复合水凝胶支架的微观结构、孔隙率、渗透性、流变学、体外止血及抗菌性能等进行表征。通过Live/Dead染色评价复合水凝胶支架的细胞相容性,并评估低强度脉冲超声对支架材料渗透性、孔隙率和力学性能的优化效果。

结果与结论:①透射电镜和紫外-可见光光谱证明纳米金载体的成功构建,粒径及电位检测结果显示超声响应性纳米金载体具有较好的稳定性;②Live/Dead染色证明,复合水凝胶支架具有一定的生物相容性;③扫描电镜下可见复合水凝胶支架具有多孔网状结构,且部分大孔内部可见纳泡受超声辐照后产生的直径约2 μm的微孔,结合渗透性实验说明强度脉冲超声可以优化水凝胶支架的孔隙和渗透性;复合水凝胶支架的止血性能优于止血海绵、聚多巴胺@甲基丙烯酰化明胶水凝胶支架;在低强度脉冲超声辐照下,复合水凝胶支架具有良好的抗氧化效应与抗菌性能;④热成像结果显示金纳米粒子包载在超声响应的纳泡中,在受到超声激励下可以得到更均匀的播散;⑤力学性能测试结果表明,负载含金纳米粒子的相变纳米液滴后水凝胶支架的储能模量增加,表现出更强的力学性能,断裂伸长率为122%,延展性优于不含金纳米粒子的相变纳米液滴组(P < 0.05);⑥结果表明,复合水凝胶支架具备良好的生物相容性、抗菌性、抗氧化性及止血作用。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Gold nanoparticles are of great significance in the development of multifunctional transdermal drug delivery systems. Smaller gold nanoparticles can penetrate the dermis through the intercellular pathway, but are limited to their easy agglomeration and colloidal morphology, which makes it difficult to exert effects on low delivery efficiency.
OBJECTIVE: To develop an ultrasound-optimized hydrogel delivery system by combining phase change nanodroplets with bio-adhesive hydrogel for percutaneous delivery of gold nanoparticles.
METHODS: The ultrasound-responsive nanodroplets loaded with gold nanoparticles were prepared by the emulsion solvent evaporation method and loaded into the polydopamine-modified methylacryloyl gelatin hydrogel to prepare a composite hydrogel scaffold. The structure and chemical composition of the ultrasound-responsive nanogold carrier were characterized. The microstructure, porosity, permeability, rheology, in vitro hemostasis, and antibacterial properties of the composite hydrogel were characterized. The cell compatibility of the hydrogel scaffold was evaluated by live/dead staining, and the optimization effects of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound on the permeability, porosity, and mechanical properties of hydrogel were evaluated.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Transmission electron microscopy and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy proved the successful construction of nanogold carriers. The particle size and potential results demonstrated that the synthesized nanoscaled ultrasonic responsive carrier had good stability. (2) Live/dead cell staining proved that the prepared composite hydrogel scaffold had certain biocompatibility. (3) Scanning electron microscopy exhibited that the prepared composite hydrogel scaffold had a porous network structure, and numerous pores of about 2 μm appeared inside the macropores after the addition of nanodroplets and ultrasonic irradiation. The permeability experiment displayed that low-intensity pulsed ultrasound could optimize the porosity and permeability of hydrogel materials. The hemostatic performance of the composite hydrogel scaffold was better than that of the hemostatic sponge and polydopamine@methylacrylylated gelatin hydrogel scaffold. Under the irradiation of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound, the composite hydrogel scaffolds had good antioxidant effects and antibacterial properties. (4) Thermal imaging results manifested that gold nanoparticles were encapsulated in ultrasound-responsive nanobubbles, and more uniform dispersion could be obtained under ultrasonic excitation. (5) The results of the mechanical property test demonstrated that the storage modulus of the hydrogel increased before and after loading gold nanoparticles-nanodroplets, which showed stronger mechanical properties. The elongation at break was 122%, and the ductility was better than that without gold nanoparticles-nanodroplets (P < 0.05). (6) These findings indicate that the composite hydrogel scaffold has good biocompatibility, antibacterial property, oxidation resistance, and hemostatic effect.
