In recent years, the number of materials used as drug delivery systems (DDS) has increased dramatically. The widespread use of DDSs has improved both the safety and efficacy of therapy. The systems currently in use pose numerous drawbacks and require proper improvements. Although many modern materials are being developed, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) deserve special attention. Thermal and chemical stability, high specific surface area, low toxicity, high biocompatibility, and great potential for modification are the main features enabling MOFs to be used as DDS. In this review, we describe MOFs, their structure, synthesis, and characterization, as well as drug loading, drug release kinetics, and bioassays. A critical approach is to outline the disadvantages as well as the limitations of MOFs and to identify areas that need to be studied more thoroughly. Nonetheless, the prospective nature of MOFs as DDS and potential adsorbents in overdose or poisoning is presented and highlighted.

Chitosan (CS) is a polysaccharide readily used in tissue engineering due to its properties: similarity to the glycosaminoglycans present in the body, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, antibacterial character and owing to the fact that its degradation that may occur under the influence of human enzymes generates non-toxic products. Applications in tissue engineering include using CS to produce artificial scaffolds for bone regeneration that provide an attachment site for cells during regeneration processes. Chitosan can be used to prepare scaffolds exclusively from this polysaccharide, composites or polyelectrolyte complexes. A popular solution for improving the surface properties and, as a result enhancing cell-biomaterial interactions, is to coat the scaffold with layers of chitosan. The article focuses on a polysaccharide of natural origin – chitosan (CS) and its application in scaffolds in tissue engineering. The last part of the review focuses on bone tissue and interactions between cells and chitosan after implantation of a scaffold and how chitosan’s structure affects bone cell adhesion and life processes.

Bioresorbable materials are used in medicine for fixing, correcting or stabilizing bones in various anatomical areas, and the market for such materials is growing rapidly worldwide. The use of polymers for their production is associated with the ability to control their properties. They are prepared from bioresorbable materials with variable surface, geometry, porosity, as well as mechanical and surface properties. They support bone healing and are suitable for tissue regeneration due to their biodegradability and biocompatibility. We believe that materials from biodegradable polymers will play an increasingly important role in future medicine.

W ostatnich latach intensywnie bada się nanocząstki magnetyczne (MNPs) pod względem użycia ich w medycynie, głównie w walce z chorobami nowotworowymi. Przy użyciu nanocząstek magnetycznych możliwe jest celowe, nieinwazyjne dostarczenie leku w miejsce kumulacji komórek rakowych za pomocą m.in. pola magnetycznego, co faworyzuje je w stosunku do klasycznych cytostatyków, które uszkadzają również zdrowe komórki i oddziałują na cały organizm. Nanocząstki magnetyczne mogą służyć również do wykrycia i zdiagnozowania chorób nowotworowych, jak również określania postępów terapii antynowotworowej. Różnorodność zastosowania nanocząstek magnetycznych sprawia, że są one postrzegane jako innowacyjny i przełomowy środek do zwalczania chorób nowotworowych. W artykule zebrano informacje na temat najpopularniejszych metod wytwarzania nanocząstek magnetycznych i ich wykorzystania w medycynie oraz poruszono kwestię biokompatybilności i toksyczności tychże struktur.

Magnetic nanoparticles have attracted attention because of their properties that make it possible to use them to treat cancer through targeted therapy. By using a magnetic field to target nanoparticles containing drugs, it is possible to reach cancer cells directly and fight them in their place of growth without affecting healthy cells or the body as a whole. Magnetic nanoparticles can be used in diagnostics to detect and diagnose cancer as well as to determine the progress of anti-cancer therapy. In this paper, we mentioned the biocompatibility and toxicity of magnetic nanoparticles because their use also carries the risk of health damage which is a necessity for further research on this topic.

Content available Biocidal properties of copper nanoparticles
EN
Metal nanoparticles (NPs) with antibacterial properties represent a promising alternative approach to antibiotics, whose overuse has led to the appearance of drug-resistant bacteria. This article addresses particularly copper (Cu) nanoparticles since Cu is a structural constituent of many enzymes in living microorganisms. In addition, Cu has a better antibacterial effect and minimal cost compared to silver. The properties of Cu nanoparticles are described here: antibactericide, toxicity mechanisms, oxidation, and copper oxide biocompatibility for medical applications. Along with the advantages of Cu nanoparticles, the nanotoxicity still remains to take into consideration such as in targetting different bacteria strains, bacteria’s resistance, the effect of size, the effect of NP chemical composition, the effect of oxidation, and the corona phenomenon effect. The methodology of Cu nanoparticles synthesis, related to the biocidal effect, is illustrated by some limitations and some breakthrough such as chitosan stabilizer (CS), laser ablation, plasma induction, and flow-levitation method (FL). Although Cu nanoparticles are beneficial for bacterial elimination, these nanoparticles are graded harmful to the human body and the environment because of their toxic effects. Thus, it requires further improvement and further investigation to create super antibacterial Cu nanoparticles, to develop some interesting research work around this subject, and to reveal some promising medical findings.

The purpose of the conducted study was to analyse new materials intended for contact with the human body in view of their physical, chemical and biological properties. The authors have put to test six commercially available materials, four out of which were composite polyamide 12-based materials, while two were polyurethanes. The examined materials were assessed in terms of the surface. Subsequently, their hardness and biocompatibility were tested. The authors devoted major attention to the tests of absorption and emissivity of water, the pH = 7.4 PBS buffer solution and pH = 4.3 artificial sweat in temperatures of 21°C and 37°C. The results of the tests have confirmed the non-toxicity of all the tested materials and allowed to provide their characteristics in terms of their surface, hardness, as well as absorption and emissivity of various body fluids. Both polyamide 12 and the tested polyurethanes are classified as thermoplastics that may be used in additive technology.

Since it is known that various cell lines may ex-press different behaviours on the scaffolds surface, a comprehensive analysis using various cellular mo-dels is needed to evaluate the biomedical potential of developed biomaterials under in vitro conditions. Thus, the aim of this work was to fabricate bone scaffolds composed of a chitosan-agarose matrix reinforced with nanohydroxyapatite and compare the biological response of two cell lines, i.e. mouse calvarial preosteoblasts (MC3T3-E1 Subclone 4) and human foetal osteoblasts (hFOB 1.19). Within this study, the osteoblasts number on the scaffold surface and the osteogenic markers level produced by MC3T3-E1 and hFOB 1.19 cells were determined. Furthermore, changes in calcium and phosphorous ions concentrations in the culture media dedicated for MC3T3-E1 and hFOB 1.19 were estimated after the biomaterial incubation. The obtained results proved that the fabricated biomaterial is characterized by biocompatibility and osteoconductivity since it favours osteoblasts attachment and growth. It also supports the production of osteogenic markers (collagen, bALP, osteocalcin) by MC3T3-E1 and hFOB 1.19 cells. Interestingly, the developed biomaterial exhibits different ion reactivity values in the two culture media dedicated for the mentioned cell lines. It was also revealed that mouse and human osteoblasts differ in the cellular response to the fabricated scaffold. Thus, the use of at least two various cellular models is recommended to carry out a reliable biological characterization of the novel biomaterial. These results demonstrate that the tested bone scaffold is a promising biomaterial for bone regeneration applications, however further biological and physicochemical experiments are essential to fully assess its biomedical potential.
