Article Abstract

Repairing large craniofacial bone defects presents a significant clinical challenge, primarily due to the elevated risk of bacterial infection and impaired osteogenic activity at the defect site. Herein, PLA-Ag@Sr composite nanofiber membranes with dual osteogenic and antibacterial properties for treating infected skull defects are reported, achieved by integrating dual-function core-shell Ag@Sr mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Ag@MSN@Sr) into PLA nanofibers via one-pot electrospinning method, effectively addressing the limitations of single functionality, structural complexity, and poor stability inherent in conventional multi-component GBR membranes. PLA-Ag@Sr exhibits favorable mechanical properties, moderate hydrophilicity, and sustained release of Ag and Sr ions. In vitro cellular assays indicated that the PLA-Ag@Sr possesses excellent biocompatibility and enhances osteogenic differentiation. Antibacterial assessments further confirmed the effective antibacterial activity of PLA-Ag@Sr in both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, evaluations on calvarial defect rat model demonstrated the outstanding biocompatibility and significant osteogenesis potential of PLA-Ag@Sr. The synergistic combination of Sr (for osteogenic stimulation) and Ag (for broad-spectrum antibacterial action) in our core-shell system provides a new "kill two birds with one stone" idea with balanced osteogenesis and antibacterial properties for treating infected bone defects.

To study the impact of pH-responsive labels prepared using traditional and different printing methods on fruit freshness monitoring and preservation, this study firstly optimized coaxial 3D printed labels by analyzing core-shell ratios and infill ratios, and predicted the impact of printing design on functionality of labels via four models. Then, the physicochemical properties of cast, dual-nozzle 3D printed, and coaxial 3D printed labels were compared. Finally, lightweight deep convolutional neural network models were used to enhance early warning intelligence.

Chemical detergents are extensively used to remove pesticide residues and foodborne pathogens on fresh fruits, but their residues are toxic to humans. To address this issue, a dual-functional starch copolymer, specifically dialdehyde starch-grafted ε-polylysine copolymer (DIA-ε-PL starch), was synthesized utilizing native starch with surfactant properties and the natural antimicrobial cationic peptide ε-polylysine (ε-PL). The effectiveness of DIA-ε-PL starch as a fruit detergent was subsequently evaluated.
